Dunk Mug
by Josh Rubin in Design on 16 December 2004
Who doesn't love a little biscuit to dunk in his coffee? Dominic Skinner must because he designed this mug to hold them neatly inside the bottom. He was even smart enough to make right and left handed versions so there's no worry of losing your cookies while taking a sip.

FirstEnergy, which serves the northern half of the state, has said its costs were $110 million.
Appalachian Power does not currently have a "trim cycle" -- a set number of years during which it clears all of its right of ways of trees. Instead, the company tries to identify high-risk areas and areas where the company's executives believe reliability can be most significantly enhanced.
Charles Patton, Appalachian Power's president and chief operating officer, said in a November interview that he would like to establish a four-year trim cycle.
The company currently spends about $15 million annually on tree trimming. Appalachian Power has estimated a four-year cycle would cost an additional $25 million a year for about five years, with the additional cost dropping back to $17 million or $18 million a year thereafter.
The company has figured that a four-year cycle would increase the average residential customer's bill by about $1 a month for five years and would then drop to about 48 cents a month, although those figures could change depending on the price of fuel and other factors.
But even a four-year trim cycle won't help when huge storms hit, Patton has said. "The trim cycle doesn't matter when you've got trees, root balls, coming down the mountains," he said in November.
Patton pointed out that FirstEnergy is already on a four-year trim cycle. But following Superstorm Sandy, Appalachian Power restored service to its customers before First Energy did. That's because First Energy serves more remote areas at higher elevations, he said.

I've moved a post by Alymer, about seeing a ballet danced by dancers from a different company or style, onto a thread of its own in aesthetic issues. It's a very interesting point, I think, and I didn't want it to get lost.
You can find it here http://www.balletale...=&threadid=6896
Estelle, I hadn't thought of that aspect of it. To people in those towns, then, ballet might become "foreign" (which has been a problem in America) and further divorce people from its own tradition.

Celebrity Weddings
1 year
WOW ... I'm happy for them ! I saw them in a commercial, and googled them because Carlos wife looked so much younger then I remembered. Much to my surprise, he and his wife of 34 yrs. got divorced 5 yrs ago. The women who looked exactly like his wife did 30 yrs ago, was his new wife ! I was so happy that Carlos was one of the few Rock and Rollers to stay married for so long. I was shocked to read about the divorce. I'm happy that he and his x wife are happier now. I am not judgemental at all... just cannot get over the new wife looking exactly like a much younger version of the first Mrs. Santana..Guess he stayed very young at heart ...
2 years
One good thing about being an American we have choices and her's was to where her hair natural.Im an African American and I would not have choose this do. Regardless she looks good.Sometimes we can be sensitive because we are use to our curves,bubble buts ,thick lips and natural hair to be undervalued but,times are changing and the rest of the world is catching up to what we already knew good look comes in all colors.
3 years
I don't think it was necessarily unwarranted to be put off by the comment of not liking her hair, but I wouldn't be offended either. I've had my hair relaxed for all my life and for the past 5 months I've worn it natural. My husband prefers the latter and most people are receptive. It may seem sensitive, but for many Black women it's a source of conflict. People have been telling us for years that we or our hair are not attractive and to be accepted you must conform to "the norm", which is bone straight, shiny hair. Our hair naturally does not do that and I can see why she may have been offended by the comment, because the hair shouldn't matter. If she's comfortable with it and her husband likes it, why should anyone else have anything to say about it?
BTW, my husband is White. He doesn't like me with straight hair, lol. I've contemplated relaxing again and he's 100% against it.
3 years
Saying it's offensive not to like her hair is ridiculous! So what if it is her natural hair, 90% of us wouldn't wear our hair in it's natural state on our wedding day, we spend hours brushing, sleeking, curling, teasing...etc.
That said, I think her hair works for her really nicely and she looks really beautiful, hair and all (IMO) but to claim it is offensive when someone doesn't like it is a bit much, it's oversensitive.
3 years
Amazing. That is what I would say. Her hair, smile, dress, location of wedding, man, flowers, simplicity, all amazing. I guess 50 is the new 30! Besides, i've always thought age was overrated. But, what I don't understand is the hypocrasy. Mariah Carey is only 10 yrs older than Nick Cannon and she's called everything from a cradle robber to a baby snatcher. Yet, Santana's 12 yrs older than this lady and she's his age group? I though 12 was more than 10! How'd that happen? Fuzzy numbers or double standard? Well, the good news for Mariah, by the time u guys get in yoru 50s and 60s the world will leave u alone and just dismiss it as "well, they're in the same age group".
3 years
Congrats to both of them. Regarding age difference, my mother married 2 men who were 12 years older than she was. It doesn't make that much difference when you get older. They did not seem to be out of sync at all. So, yes, he did marry someone in his own age group. They both look good. Hope they are happy forever. :) And I love the hair too!
3 years
Carlos & Cindy,
Continue to bring peace, light and compassion to the world with
your music........... Stay in your hearts... Como siempre, Sebastian &
3 years
She looks fabulous and while she is not his age, she is still older than most next wives :-) Rarely see Men marrying women in their 50's no matter how good they look even among non celeb types so big up to Santana.Congrats to them.

I Love the hair for a wedding. I'd never want flat hair, it's so ordinary and common and if I had it, I'd only wear it for work not a special occasion.
3 years
She's beautiful! She definitely doesn't look 51, just goes to show, doing what you love makes you happy.
Love her hair! She's my hair twin! Rock it!
3 years
She looks STUNNING! Her dress, gorgeous smile, and big, bodacious kinky hair make her one of the most beautiful brides I've ever seen. I've got thick, #naturalHair as well, and I'd love to wear my hair like this for my wedding, plus a tiara and veil! Way to go Cindy Blackman: you've just became a role-model for brides to be who recognize that beautiful hair doesn't have to be STRAIGHT hair!
3 years
I think I saw her playing drums for Beyonce too? I am not sure. But she is beautiful! And I love the hair.
3 years
Her name is Cindy Blackman. She's a drummer who played for Lenny Kravitz for a long time, and is a very accomplished jazz drummer.
3 years
I find the "Not liking the hair" comment offensive. Her is naturally that way so why shouldn't she wear it like that? My hair is the exact same texture and I would totally wear my hair like that on my wedding day. I suppose she needed to to have a smooth and shiny updo or curls cascading down her shoulders to meet your standards. Well, we are all not born with the same hair texture and sometimes it's just easier to work with what you've got and make the most of it. And thats exactly what she did. Her hair ROCKS!
3 years
Great-looking woman! Congrats! However, she's not "his age", she's 12 YEARS YOUNGER. No one would say that a woman marrying a man 12 years her junior was marrying a man "her age".
3 years
Wow finally someone who marries according to their age. You would expect stars for marry someone who is 15 not 51 :P

The premier public radio showcase for contemporary music serving up an eclectic blend that includes blues, rock, world, folk, and alternative country.

Beck has been an influential creative force for two decades, popular for his sharp, intelligent and often humorous lyrics. Slickly genre-hopping from punk to folk, alternative and electro, he's put out albums both acoustic and electric, but always innovative. Today's installment of World Cafe revisits three of his interviews from the past decade or so.
When The Ting Tings exploded onto the pop scene in 2007, their grunge-chic style and sound were destined for success. Now, five years after the debut of their hit single "That's Not My Name/Great DJ" and four years after their first full length, We Started Nothing, The Ting Tings are back.

Despite the slow, twisting, synth-looping style of Polica, the group's album came together in only a few recording sessions. Recovering from the breakup of her folk rock band Roma di Luna and the breakup of her marriage to one of her bandmates, Channy Leaneagh turned to friend and collaborator Ryan Olson, founder of Gayngs. The two worked together on Gayngs' album Relayted in 2010 and they were interested in working together again.

Allo Darlin' crafts quirky, personal rock, driven by lap steel, ukulele and charming four-part harmonies. The band formed in 2009 under the guidance of singer-songwriter Elizabeth Morris, whose voice meshes beautifully with those of Paul Rains, Bill Botting and Mikey Collins. Together, they spent two years touring in support of their gorgeous 2010 debut.

Welcome to the website of St. Raphael of Brooklyn Orthodox Christian Parish.
We are a parish under the omiphoron of His Eminence, Archbishop NATHANIEL of the Romanian Episcopate of the Orthodox Church in America.Our parish family is made up of people from a wide variety of backgrounds, united in One Faith. Our Lord has brought us together and blesses us with a conscious striving to grow in an Orthodox Christian Way of living. By the grace of God, we experience spiritual growth through our active participation in the Sacramental and Liturgical life in Christ, our ongoing study and contemplation of Holy Scripture and the Living Tradition of our Faith, and a focused mission to serve those in need, particularly in our immediate area. Some of our members have converted to Orthodoxy from other religious backgrounds. Our parish is youthful and vibrant. We take joy in the virtue of hospitality towards all who enter our doors. We welcome families, and strive to accommodate parents with infants and young children, as they, too, are called by Christ to fully participate in the life of the Church. Our worship Services are in English.For those seeking to better understand the Orthodox Christian Way, we provide inquirers' classes throughout the year, as well as fellowship in an ongoing Bible Study Group setting. The Orthodox Church humbly, yet without hypocrisy professes to be the Church of Christ, founded on the Apostolic witness to our Lord, born of the Holy Spirit on the day of Holy Pentecost. In an unbroken mission, for 2,000 years we have been proclaiming to all people the path to salvation through life in His Body: the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.We hope that through this website you will become better acquainted with our Church, with its worship, ministries, educational programs and activities. If you live in the greater Detroit area and do not have a spiritual home or if you have just moved to the area and are looking for a Church, we would like to invite you to join us for Sunday worship, and to get acquainted with our pastor and family in Christ! Our parish members travel from moderate distances to St. Raphael Church, because we are called together for a purpose.Please do not hesitate to contact us through e-mail or otherwise should the need arise.In Christ,+Very Rev. Fr. Paul Albert, Arch Priest Parish Priest at St. Raphael Orthodox Christian Church
This year we will study the universal Epistle of St. James, and the First and Second Epistles of St. Peter. We study these writings in the context of last year's Bible Study on St. John's Book of Revelation.

The Worldwide Ireland Funds presented a Lifetime Achievement Award to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to salute her commitment to peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland over her two decades as First Lady, US Senator and Secretary of State.
The specially commissioned Belleek China piece was presented at a luncheon hosted by The Worldwide Ireland Funds in front of 500 guests from all sides of the community in Northern Ireland as well as business, civic, community and cultural leaders. Special guests who attended the event included The First Minister and Deputy First minister of Northern Ireland, along with members of the diplomatic, sporting and entertainment worlds.
This was the Secretary of State's 7th visit to Northern Ireland and was part of her last foreign mission in that role.
Commenting, Kieran McLoughlin, President and CEO of The Worldwide Ireland Funds said ''It is an honor for us to recognize Hillary Clinton's lifelong concern and engagement with Northern Ireland. Throughout that time she has connected not only with political leaders but also with community activists knitting the community together at grass roots level. She represents the passionate support of the Irish Diaspora for the Peace Process. The Ireland Funds have supported hundreds of groups across Northern Ireland for over 35 years and continue to do so today through our Promising Ireland Campaign.''
The award presented to Secretary of State Clinton was a unique piece of Belleek china from Fermanagh in Northern Ireland. The one-off piece symbolically showed a basket of flowers from Northern Ireland as well as flowers from the Secretary's home state of Illinois and other symbols of Northern Ireland.
Past honorees and award winners from The Worldwide Ireland Funds have included Seamus Heaney, Muhammad Ali, Bono, Irish Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, US Ambassador to Ireland, Dan Rooney and Senator George Mitchell.

ORYN > SEC Filings for ORYN > Form 10-K/A on 7-Mar-2013 | All Recent SEC Filings |
Annual Report
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 should be read in conjunction with the Summary Selected Consolidated Financial Data and the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this Annual Report. We use words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "project," "continuing," "ongoing," "expect," "believe," "intend," "may," "will," "should," "could," and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
On May 4, 2012 (the "Closing Date"), Oryon Technologies, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Registrant," "ORYN" or the "Company"), closed a merger
transaction with Oryon Merger Sub, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), and OryonTechnologies,
LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("Oryon") pursuant to an Agreement and
Plan of Merger dated March 9, 2012 (the "Merger Agreement"). In accordance with
the terms of Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, Oryon merged into Merger Sub
in exchange for the issuance to the members of Oryon ("Oryon Members") of eight
(8) shares of the Company's common stock for each outstanding membership unit of
Oryon (the "Merger"). In addition, Oryon had outstanding equity equivalents,
consisting of convertible notes payable, accrued interest on the notes payable,
warrants and unit options, that by their terms required the Company to be
prepared to issue common stock in an amount equal to the number of shares (at
the 8 to 1 ratio) that would have been issuable at the Closing Date to holders
of all of the equity equivalents if they had been converted to membership units
before the Closing Date.
From and after the Closing Date, our primary operations consist of the business and operations of Oryon. In conjunction with the Merger, Oryon assumed no liabilities from the Company and all members of the Company's executive management are from Oryon. Accordingly, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization in accordance with GAAP, whereby the Registrant is the accounting acquiree and Oryon is the accounting acquirer. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that are reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger are those of Oryon and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Oryon, and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger include the assets and liabilities of the Company and Oryon, historical operations of Oryon and operations of the Company from the Closing Date. Membership units and the corresponding capital amounts of Oryon pre-Merger have been retroactively restated as shares of common stock reflecting the eight (8) to one exchange ratio in the Merger. All references in this document to equity securities and all equity related historical financial measurements, including weighted average shares outstanding, earnings per share, par value of common stock, additional paid in capital, option exercise prices and warrant exercise prices, have been retroactively restated to reflect the Merger exchange ratio.
Oryon is a research and development and applications engineering company that developed multiple patents relating to electroluminescent ("EL") lighting (trademarked as "Elastolite«"). Elastolite« enables thin, flexible, crushable, water-resistant lighting systems to be incorporated into multiple applications such as safety apparel, sporting goods, consumer goods and membrane switches, among others.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, Oryon had a net loss of $2.607 million as compared to a net loss of $1.648 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increased loss of 58.2%. There was no change in Oryon's business plan and operations were comparable in both years. However, in 2012, Oryon was more negatively impacted by the effects of capital transactions that had a negative but non-cash impact on the net loss. In July 2011, due to lack of capital, Oryon eliminated most of its work force, including all of its sales personnel, and began making only minimal payments on accounts payable in order to preserve capital.
In October 2011, Oryon signed the letter of intent (the "LOI") with the Company in connection with the Merger. In connection with the LOI, Oryon received funding of $325.0 thousand in exchange for promissory notes as of December 31, 2011 ($725.0 thousand as of the Closing) as advances against the proceeds to be received by Oryon from the sale of Company common stock at the Closing of the Merger. At Closing, Oryon became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and, as a result, the amounts due under the promissory notes between the Company and Oryon became intercompany obligations within the corporate group that have been cancelled. These advances provided Oryon with working capital to continue its operations and to make some repayments on outstanding liabilities.
The accompanying consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of cash flows and statement of changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) have been prepared by the Company's management in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Key factors affecting our results of operations include revenues, cost of revenues, operating expenses and income and taxation.
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2012 to the Year Ended December 31, 2011
Gross Profit and Other Revenues For the Year Ended December 31, 2012 2011 Change from 2011 to 2012 $ $ $ % Revenues Product sales 68,428 95,165 (26,737 ) -28.1 % Cost of goods sold (40,184 ) (64,501 ) 24,317 -37.7 % Gross profit 28,244 30,664 (2,420 ) -7.9 % Royalty and license fees - 303 (303 ) -100.0 % Other - 65,473 (65,473 ) -100.0 % Total revenues 28,244 96,440 (68,196 ) -70.7 % |
Gross profit and other revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 decreased $68.2 thousand, or 70.7%, to $28.4 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $96.4 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2011, largely because in 2012 the Company earned no service fees for design and application assignments for prospective customers, as compared to the $65.5 thousand earned in 2011.
In addition, our gross profit on product sales revenues decreased $2.4 thousand, or 7.9%, to $28.4 thousand in 2012 from $30.7 thousand in 2011, primarily due to a 28.1% decrease in product sales, partially offset by an improvement in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of product sales revenues. Cost of goods sold represented 58.9% of product sales revenues in 2012 as compared to 67.8% in 2011.
Operating Expense - Overview Total operating expense for the year ended December 31, 2012, increased $273.5 thousand, or 17.7%, to $1,819.3 thousand in 2012 from $1,545.8 thousand in 2011, as shown in the table below: For the year ended For the year ended December 31, 2012 December 31, 2011 Change $ % $ % $ % Total applications development exp. $ 324,575 17.8 % $ 387,753 25.1 % $ (63,178 ) -16.3 % Total sales and marketing exp. 152,091 8.4 % 65,316 4.2 % 86,775 132.9 % Total general and administrative exp. 1,302,429 71.6 % 1,033,857 66.9 % 268,572 26.0 % Depreciation and amortization 40,163 2.2 % 58,855 3.8 % (18,692 ) -31.8 % Total operating expenses $ 1,819,258 100.0 % $ 1,545,781 100.0 % $ 273,477 17.7 % |
The primary reason for the increase in total operating expenses is the $268.6 thousand increase in total general and administrative expense, as discussed below.
Applications Development Expense For the Year Ended December 31, 2012 2011 Change from 2011 to 2012 $ $ $ % Applications Development Expense Wages 173,888 216,309 (42,421 ) -19.6 % Payroll taxes and benefits 26,455 43,371 (16,916 ) -39.0 % Materials, equipment, services 117,008 109,283 7,725 7.1 % Office and overhead 7,224 14,236 (7,012 ) -49.3 % Travel and entertainment - 4,554 (4,554 ) -100.0 % Total applications development expense 324,575 387,753 (63,178 ) -16.3 % |
Total applications development expense decreased by $63.2 thousand, or 16.3%, primarily due to the $42.4 thousand, or 19.6%, decrease in wages. A secondary but related reason for the decrease is the $16.9 thousand, or 39.0% decrease in payroll taxes and employee benefits in 2012 as compared to 2011. In 2012, due to capital constraints, the Company reduced its applications development workforce and, in addition, reduced the overall level of employee benefits.
Sales and Marketing Expense For the Year Ended December 31, 2012 2011 Change from 2011 to 2012 $ $ $ % Sales and Marketing Expense Wages 66,000 35,643 30,357 85.2 % Payroll taxes and benefits 6,925 14,815 (7,890 ) -53.3 % Overhead 14,357 844 13,513 1601.1 % Outside services 32,400 11,459 20,941 182.7 % Travel and entertainment 32,409 2,555 29,854 1168.5 % Total sales and marketing expense 152,091 65,316 86,775 132.9 % |
Total sales and marketing expense increased $86.8 thousand, or 132.9%, in 2012 as compared to 2011 due to the addition of a senior marketing individual in January 2012 (wages up $30.3 thousand, or 85.1%) and the costs incurred by the individual during 2012 such as travel expenses (up $29.9 thousand, or 1,168.5%) and conference attendance fees (overhead up $13.5 thousand, or 1,601.1%). By comparison, from July 2011 through the end of December 2011, Oryon had no sales/marketing employees and therefore incurred no wages, employee benefits or travel costs for a significant portion of the 2011 calendar year.
General and Administrative Expense For the Year Ended December 31, 2012 2011 Change from 2011 to 2012 $ $ $ % General and Administrative Expense Wages 339,378 350,642 (11,264 ) -3.2 % Payroll taxes and benefits 163,292 51,343 111,949 218.0 % Overhead 160,099 185,434 (25,335 ) -13.7 % Outside services 633,244 424,920 208,324 49.0 % Travel and entertainment 6,416 21,518 (15,102 ) -70.2 % Total general and administrative expense 1,302,429 1,033,857 268,572 26.0 % |
General and administrative expense increased $268.6 thousand, or 26.0%, to $1,302.4 thousand from $1,033.9 thousand, primarily due to (i) the increase in outside services of $208.3 thousand, or 49.0%, to $633.2 thousand in 2012 from $424.9 thousand in 2011, as detailed in the table below and (ii) the increase in employee benefits of $111.9 thousand, or 218.0%, to $163.3 thousand in 2012 from $51.3 thousand in 2011.
The primary reason for the increase in outside services expense was the closing of the Merger in May 2012, which made Oryon a public company for the first time. In 2012, as a public company, the Company incurred directors' fees and expenses (an increase from zero in 2011 to $78.8 thousand in 2012, including $33.8 thousand in directors' stock-based compensation expense), additional auditing fees (an increase of $19.8 thousand) and costs related to public stock ownership (SEC compliance costs and stock transfer agent expenses were $44.1 thousand in 2012).
Consulting expense increased $170.2 thousand in 2012 as compared to 2011 because
(i) in 2012 the Company incurred $82.6 thousand in non-recurring consulting fees
for a financial advisor in connection with the Merger, (ii) the Company agreed
to pay consulting fees to a former senior officer to retain his expertise at a
cost of $56.7 thousand in 2012, and (iii) management outsourced secretarial and
administrative services to reduce the fixed payroll overhead.
For the year ended For the year ended December 31, 2012 December 31, 2011 Change $ % $ % $ % Legal expenses $ 219,514 34.7 % $ 309,680 72.9 % $ (90,166 ) -29.1 % Accounting and audit expenses 101,217 16.0 % 81,449 19.2 % 19,768 24.3 % Directors fees and expenses 78,800 12.4 % - 0.0 % 78,800 NM Public relations expenses 5,000 0.8 % 15,897 3.7 % (10,897 ) -68.6 % Consulting 179,553 28.4 % 9,353 2.2 % 170,200 1819.7 % Payroll processing expenses 2,565 0.4 % 7,006 1.7 % (4,441 ) -63.4 % Banking Fees 2,491 0.4 % 1,535 0.4 % 956 62.3 % Stock transfer agent and filing fees 44,103 7.0 % - 0.0 % 44,103 NM Total G&A outside services $ 633,243 100.0 % $ 424,920 100.0 % $ 208,323 49.0 % |
NM = Not Meaningful
The stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative payroll taxes and benefits increased to $159.0 thousand in 2012, as compared to only $20.9 thousand in 2011.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) consists of: interest income, interest expense (discussed below), the change in the fair market value of the Series A warrants, and net other income/expense (discussed below). The largest single component of Other Income (Expense) in the year ended December 31, 2012, was the non-recurring expense for the change in the fair market value of the Series A warrants. In September 2012, the board of directors authorized the re-pricing of the Series A warrants' exercise price from the original $0.75 per share to the current $0.50 per share. This resulted in an increase of $535,367 in allocation of the proceeds to paid-in capital and a matching expense on the income statement. Interest income is negligible.
Interest Expense: Interest expense increased $9.2 thousand, or 3.5%, to $272.0 thousand from $262.8 thousand despite the decrease in accrued and unpaid interest on Oryon's convertible notes payable, which decreased $34.5 thousand, or 27.5%, to $91.3 thousand in 2012 from $125.8 thousand in 2011. The principal reason for the increase in interest expense was the increase in the amortization of the debt discount for the beneficial conversion feature. The amortization of the debt discount for the beneficial conversion feature related to Oryon's Series C-1 convertible notes payable was $136.1 thousand in 2012 as compared to $103.5 thousand in 2011, as shown in the table below.
For the year ended For the year ended December 31, 2012 December 31, 2011 Change $ % $ % $ % Interest expense on convertible notes payable $ 91,284 33.6 % $ 125,816 47.9 % $ (34,532 ) -27.5 % Interest expense on short-term debt 31,741 11.7 % 15,109 5.8 % 16,632 110.1 % Amortization of debt discount related to warrants 12,893 4.7 % 18,353 7.0 % (5,460 ) -29.8 % Amortization of debt discount-beneficial conversion feature on the Series C-1 convertible notes payable 136,074 50.0 % 103,472 39.4 % 32,602 31.5 % Total interest expense $ 271,992 100.0 % $ 262,750 100.0 % $ 9,242 3.5 % |
Net other income (expense): Net other income (expense) decreased $73.2 thousand, or 115.9%, to a net expense of $10.0 in 2012 from a net income of $63.2 thousand in 2011. In 2011, the other income of $63.2 thousand consisted of
income related to OryonTechnologies International Pte. Ltd. ("OTI"), Oryon's former wholly-owned Singapore-based subsidiary. In 2011, OTI received confirmation from the Singapore Economic Development Board ("EDB") that OTI would not be required to repay an economic development grant received in 2007 to encourage employment in Singapore. OTI had failed to meet its obligations under the EDB grant and had been carrying the obligation to repay the grant as a current liability. However, OTI appealed to the EDB and, in 2011, was granted a waiver of the repayment requirement. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the other expense of $10.0 thousand consisted primarily of local personal property taxes.
Oryon is a limited liability company and, as such, does not accrue or pay income taxes. Regardless, due to the historical losses incurred no taxes would have been payable. However, OTI was a Singapore corporation that generated significant losses during its existence, became inactive in May 2009 and, in connection with the filing of the 2010 tax return, received a refund in 2011 for taxes paid in years prior to 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company does not have sufficient cash on hand and working capital to be able to meet its anticipated cash requirements through 2013. See Note 16 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Not including capital expenditures and costs directly related to revenues, monthly operating expenditures are expected to range between $125,000 and $150,000 per month. Management anticipates that an additional $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 will be necessary to fund operations over the next twelve to twenty-four month period subsequent to December 31, 2012. We do not currently have any material commitments for capital expenditures.
To meet our future objectives, we will need to meet our revenue objectives and sell additional equity and debt securities, which could result in dilution to current shareholders, or seek additional loans. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. We do not have any lending arrangements in place with banking or financial institutions and we do not anticipate that we will be able to secure these funding arrangements in the near future. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations, could harm our overall business prospects and could adversely affect our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our current cash requirements are significant due to planned development and marketing of our current products, and we anticipate generating additional operating monthly losses at least through the end of 2013. In order to execute on our business strategy, we will require additional working capital, commensurate with the operational needs of our planned marketing, development and production efforts. Our management anticipates that we should be able to raise sufficient amounts of working capital through debt or equity offerings, as may be required to meet our short-term obligations, although there is no assurance that we will be able to do so. However, changes in our operating plans, increased expenses, acquisitions, or other events, may cause us to seek additional equity or debt financing in the future. We anticipate continued and additional marketing, development and production expenses. Accordingly, we expect to continue to use debt and equity financing to fund operations for the next twelve months, as we look to expand our asset base and fund marketing, development and production of our products.
There are no assurances that we will be able to raise the required working capital on terms favorable to us, or that such working capital will be available on any terms when needed. Any failure to secure additional financing may force us to modify our business plan and adversely affect our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, we cannot be assured of profitability in the future.
We are not aware of any unusual or infrequent events or transactions or any significant economic changes that materially affected or could materially affect the amount of our reported income from operations.
Sources and uses of funds
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had cash and equivalents on hand of $169.7 thousand, and negative working capital of $516.3 thousand. Management of the Company recognizes that its cash on hand and working capital will not be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements through 2013.
Oryon's sales cycle timing varies depending on the type of customer being served. It can range from three months for certain specialty promotions to 12-18 months for certain branded products from first contact with a prospective customer until product sales revenues can be reported. During that period, Oryon works with the customer's designs and engineers an application of its patented technology into the customer's final product. This requires substantial co-development with the customer's personnel to meet the needs of the customer. Accordingly, Oryon must have sufficient capital to fund administrative overhead, sales and marketing efforts and staffing expenses for an extended period of time before cash is received from customers.
In 2010, Oryon completed an exchange of the then existing Series A and Series B convertible notes payable for the newly issued Series C-1 and Series C-2 convertible notes payable, respectively. Each holder of a Series A or Series B note also received detachable warrants in connection with the exchange. This exchange was necessary to obtain a modification of the terms of the notes payable to enable Oryon to secure additional funding. In 2010, after the completion of the exchange, Oryon began issuing Series C-3 convertible notes payable, with detachable warrants, obtaining additional funding of $418.0 thousand in 2010 and $75.0 thousand in 2011. In addition, during the second half of 2011, Oryon issued $69.6 thousand in Series C-3 convertible notes payable, but without attached warrants, to the lessor of Oryon's office space in lieu of cash rent payments for the period of July 1 through December 31. In January 2012, Oryon issued an additional $6.6 thousand in Series C-3 convertible notes payable, without attached warrants, to the same lessor in lieu of cash rent for the month of January 2012.
In early 2010, Oryon began negotiations with a private equity firm regarding an investment of $4.5 million into Oryon. In late summer 2010, Oryon and the private equity firm executed a term sheet. In November 2010, Oryon and the private equity firm executed an agreement titled "Draft Securities Purchase Agreement" based on the transaction proposed in the term sheet that would have provided Oryon with sufficient capital to fund its business plan for the foreseeable future. The letter of intent and the "Draft Securities Purchase Agreement" included a "no-shop" clause that effectively prevented Oryon from negotiating with any other potential source of funding until negotiations were terminated with the private equity firm. However, the private equity firm did not act in good faith, in management's opinion, changing certain terms of the proposed transaction, failing to respond to Oryon's communications and . . .

10 WWOOFing Opportunities in Ireland
The compost toilet, however, was not.
Together we studied the Humanure Compost Toilet Manual. It read, "There are two types of people in this world. Those that sh*t in their drinking water and those that don't."
We were about to experience how the other half lived.
The toilet was a yellow bucket with sawdust, placed under a wooden toilet seat frame. For 10 days we followed a routine of eat-excrete-sawdust-repeat. We bonded each time we had to collect another wheelbarrow load of sawdust or shovel the contents of the toilet bucket onto the humanure compost heap.
As a city girl travelling with my farm girl friend, the compost toilet was the source of many discussions as we sat around in our mobile home after a day's work. And while no television, mobile coverage or WiFi will do that to a girl, the compost toilet was the first of many opportunities WWOOFing in Ireland provided to learn about healthy, sustainable living.
There were other lessons we learned about life in rural Ireland. Our involvement in local life included set-dancing lessons, trad music sessions, and a community harvest supper, all of which allowed us to share and exchange ideas with those interested in the organic movement and alternative lifestyles.
After three months of research and trip planning, I spent seven weeks in 2009 WWOOFing around Ireland with a friend. Following are my favorite places and suggested WWOOFing stays.
To view the full contact details for WWOOF hosts you will need to become a subscribing member of WWOOF Ireland.
1. Kinramer, Rathlin Island, County Antrim
Located on an offshore island, the owners of Kinramer keep a beef suckler herd and a sheep flock. WWOOFing with this family you will experience island activities involving wildlife conservation, community events, and fishing; the seafood is plentiful.
WWOOFers may stay in a caravan, dorm, tent, or house. The hosts describe "adaptability and patience" as key requirements, as work is dependent on tides and weather. Rathlin Island is a small community of approximately 100; therefore, services are limited and WWOOFers need to come prepared.
2. Green Hill Farm, County Donegal
Back on the mainland, Green Hill Farm is a small organic holding situated in the north of Ireland. Owners John and Mary grow their own vegetables, which are sold locally at markets, and they are keen to educate others on organic farming.
WWOOFers are welcomed from June to August. Accommodation is provided in a caravan/mobile home, and stays of two weeks are preferred. Bikes are available for volunteers to explore the area. WWOOFer feedback sings their praises as "There's no end to the charm on Green Hill Farm."
3. Beechlawn Organic Farm, County Galway
For those looking for a longer term WWOOFing position, Beechlawn Organic Farm provides placements for a minimum of four weeks. This young family welcomes help all year round, especially from those with experience in horticulture or market stalls.
WWOOFing here includes everything from sowing to harvesting – expect to work 8 hours per day. In your time off, hosts can provide you with bikes and travel information on Ireland.
4. Ard Nahoo Eco Retreat, County Leitrim
Accommodation at Ard Nahoo is in a self-contained mobile home and there is no television or Internet access. Work for WWOOFers varies; on our stay, we prepared for a weekend retreat by cleaning and restocking guest cabins. Other tasks include picking fruit, harvesting potatoes, weeding, and composting.
Spend your free time exploring the surrounding Sligo Way and Creevelea Abbey; bikes and walking maps are available to borrow. WWOOFers should embrace the idea of a compost toilet because holding on for the 40 minute walk to the pub each night is tough!
Basic breakfast and lunch supplies are provided, and communal family dinners are served each evening. The kids are eager to help you brush up on your Gaelic.
5. Snee Farm, County Sligo
At the foot of the Ox Mountains lies Snee Farm. There are a range of animals on this small holding, but they specialize in pigs and bees.
This host takes a hands-on approach, explaining "We grow our own vegetables, cut our own turf… kill our own animals." Snee doesn't cater to vegetarians, but that's not surprising for a pig farm. They make their own wine and during the winter, make cheese and butter.
A normal work day is described as "hectic" and these busy farm folk request that once you've registered as a WWOOFer, you contact them by email or phone directly.
6. Moyleabbey Organic Farm, County Kildare
Work on the 13.5 acres began in 2003 and Moyleabbey reached certified organic status in 2006.
This family-run organic fruit farm is managed by Liam and Yuki, who will educate WWOOFers about macrobiotic lifestyles and bio-dynamic farming. They sell most of their produce direct but also sell at farmers' markets, restaurants, and with other organic growers locally.
The diverse nature of the work here allows the hosts to open their doors to WWOOFers all year round. Accommodation is provided in a self-contained mobile home. Minimum stay is one month.
7. Carraig Dúlra, County Wicklow
Carraig Dúlra is a farm situated on the east coast of Ireland run by experienced WWOOFers Mike and Suzie. Volunteers assist with courses and events, organic growing, beekeeping, farm projects, and water systems.
Accommodation is in a campsite, with vegetarian meals provided. There is no electricity or hot water. WWOOFers will need to boil water for their washing, dishes, and laundry, as the hosts emphasize establishing a "connection with the natural world."
8. Mill Little Farm, County Cork
If you want to immerse yourself in Irish culture, head to Mill Little in West Cork. During our stay, we participated in excursions that saw us set-dancing with locals, listening to trad music sessions, and meditating at a Buddhist center on the rugged Beara Peninsula.
Host Christine will have you helping with veggie and flower beds, goats and poultry while she runs her English classes over the summer. WWOOFing accommodation is provided in clean, bright rooms in a house, and meals are cooked communally using the fresh produce from Mill Little.
9. Milbeg Arts, County Cork
This 250 year old farm house is situated on five acres, comprising woodland and a veggie garden. Milbeg's host, Annie, is also an administrator of WWOOF Ireland.
Farming methods used here include crop rotation, bio-dynamic permaculture, and raised beds. WWOOFers stay in caravans. One WWOOFer noted that WWOOFers not only eat well here, but "most nights there's a group of people gathered around to chat, take a hike up Priest's Leap, or maybe hitch down to a pub."
10. Peter and Amanda's Place, County Cork
Peter and Amanda's Place is a two acre site with polytunnels, raised beds, ponds, and gardens. They prefer stays of two weeks and volunteers all comment on being welcomed as a member of their family.
Work here over summer to meet other WWOOFers and experience the beautiful Sheep's Head Peninsula. Places are limited, so check their online calendar for availability.
Before You Go
Getting registered: Check visa and entry requirements; then, apply online at WWOOF Ireland.
Getting insurance: A special insurance policy for WWOOFers is available through OV Europa.
Getting around: Traveling around Ireland by bus and train will not only benefit the environment, but your travel budget, too. See Bus Eireann and Irish Rail (Iarnrod Eireann) for the Republic of Ireland, and Translink and NI Railways for Northern Ireland.

This is the first time I really grasped what a WWOOFing experience entails; what a wonderful new way to travel! Thanks for sharing all the links and I, like Heather, loved the lead in about the toilets!
This is a great article! Like many others, I had no idea what WWOOFing was (to be honest, I first thought of it as something related to dogs!) but this article has been very informative. Really liked how you started off with your own experiences!

You've inspired me and my husband to join WWOOF USA! We're planning on doing some WWOOFing this summer.
http://rebeccakinsella.wordpress.com/ Rebecca
Nice one! You'll have to let me know where you guys choose to go – it could be the next article
http://www.expatheather.com Heather Carreiro
We probably won't do it until June since our spring breaks don't coincide this year, but we've been wanting to learn more about organic farming/sustainable living for a while. Being outside the US and without good internet connection for three years, I was completely out of the loop about WWOOFing until reading your article. It's so funny cause a few days after reading it, my husband (who didn't read it) was like, "Hey wouldn't it be great to go to some farm where they use compost toilets and do organic gardening so we could learn about it?"

This afternoon Gillette Police Lieutenant Brent Wasson informed local media that accused child sex abuser David Michael Norgaard (35) was located in Montana and is back in custody.
Norgaard faces four felony counts, one first-degree sexual abuse of a minor, two counts of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor and one count of failing to register as a sex offender. Norgaard was also convicted in 1997 after he was accused of molesting a 4-year-old girl.

One year old Kehinde Oluwafemi lives with his family on the outskirts of Ilorin, Nigeria. Before looking at him any Nigerian could tell that he is a second born twin and that his brother's name is Taiye as he is named in accordance to Yoruba tribal custom. But it would require a trained eye to see that Kehinde is almost completely blind and unlike his twin had bilateral cataract, before he met the ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital team during the programme in Ilorin, Nigeria.
Kehinde heralds from a poor family who uphold traditional values and cultural practices. His young mother, Shola, still bears the marks on her face from her childhood initiation. She has a shyness that belies her inner strength and determinations to care for her small son.
When Kehinde was just 3 months old Shola noticed that something was very wrong with his eyes. They appeared bloodshot and she noticed what she described as a cloud growing over his eyes. Her older sister works as a cleaner at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH) and arranged for Shola and Kehinde to see a doctor in the ophthalmology department. As luck would have it the doctor she was scheduled to see was Dr. Dupe – head of ophthalmology at UITH.
Dr. Dupe was trained and mentored by ORBIS over the six years ORBIS has been working in the country and she was instrumental in getting the ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital to Ilorin, Nigeria. Dr. Dupe told Shola all about ORBIS and invited her to bring Kehinde back to the hospital in a few weeks time to meet the Flying Eye Hospital team of expert volunteer doctors.
They dutifully returned on the appointed date a few weeks later. Shola found the medical experience quiet daunting and unfamiliar so she held tight to her son and gently soothed his tears as he was examined.
The operation was performed by Dr. Itay Ben-Zion – ORBIS volunteer paediatric ophthalmologist – and it went off without complications. The following day Dr. Ben-Zion confirmed that the surgery was a success and highlighted that, 'now that we have done a good surgery, it is up to the mother to fight for her child. He will need follow up for life as amblyopia is now the real challenge and his vision must be managed constantly to make sure this is a long term success story.'
Little Kehinde seemed like a totally new child in the days that followed his surgery. He danced and waddled around the ward seeking hugs from any obliging arms. 'Thank you so much' is all Shola could manage to say in English to express her huge gratitude to ORBIS, Dr. Dupe and Dr. Ben-Zion.

Bees for Development |
"Small businesses build big economies". Current thinking in development is very much focused at developing commercial opportunity. For small producers to become linked to distant and large volume markets they need to be connected to a working and efficient supply chain. Once honey sales move from local to distant markets, links between producers and consumers are typically made through honey consolidators and co-operatives.
A supply chain comprises many different participants and the links between them and if any link is weak or broken this will affect every other participant in the supply chain. For example the link between a supermarket and a packer may be strong, but if the link between the beekeeper and the consolidator is weak then the packer will not have enough honey. It is well known that some links in the chain are harder to develop and maintain than others. One of the most challenging links to address is the link between the small scale beekeeper and a consolidator. The reason why this link is challenging is because small scale beekeepers are scattered, in remote areas and each beekeeper harvests only a small volume of honey. This makes it expensive to consolidate the honey - and yet consolidation is essential to access distant and large volume markets. Consolidation itself must happen at a minimum scale (or volume) or else it is not cost effective.
Overcoming the challenge of consolidation is often easiest to achieve by developing geographical clusters of producers. This structure can help remote farmers to link into larger supply chains. Transparency, trust and co-operation are essential to the success of organised marketing and transaction costs need to be kept low if a supply chain is to be profitable and sustainable.
Understanding the whole supply chain is important for any participant who wishes to expand production and trade. Lack of information about buyers and sellers, their needs and their constraints is a major reason why small scale producers find it hard to benefit from commercial trade opportunities.
