BP and Verenium Announce Vercipia Biofuels to Advance the Commercialization of Cellulosic Ethanol 7/31/09
BP and Verenium Corporation (Nasdaq: VRNM) today announced that its 50-50 joint venture company will operate under the name Vercipia Biofuels, and plan to relocate its corporate headquarters to Florida. Vercipia
continues to focus on the development of one of the nation's first commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol facilities, located in Highlands County, Florida. The company is also developing a second commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol site in the Gulf Coast region. "I continue to be pleased and enthusiastic with the progress our joint venture - Vercipia - has made in only a few short months, and I look forward to a highly productive and successful next two years as we move toward bringing a first commercial facility into production," said Carlos Riva, President and Chief Executive Officer at Verenium.
"BP's 'all of the above' approach to meeting America's future energy needs includes a significant investment in biofuels development, as this project demonstrates," said Susan Ellerbusch, President of BP Biofuels North America. "We believe Vercipia will be a key player in the biofuels supply chain in the coming years."
Since announcing the formation of the joint venture company in February, Vercipia has applied for and been selected to move forward with due diligence on a Department of Energy (DOE) Loan Guarantee for the Highlands project, which is now underway. In addition, the team has continued to advance development activity in Florida and on a second site in the Gulf Coast region. BP is of one of the world's largest energy companies, providing its customers with fuel for transportation, energy for heat and light, retail services and petrochemicals products for everyday items. It is the largest oil and gas producer in the U.S. and one of the largest refiners. BP is also a leading player in the global biofuels market. Since 2006, BP has announced investments of more than $1.5 billion in biofuels research, development and operations. This includes partnerships with other companies to develop the technologies, feedstocks and processes required to produce advanced biofuels and $500 million over 10 years in the Energy Biosciences Institute (EBI), at which biotechnologists are investigating applications of biotechnology to energy.
Well then there are the down side considerations. This company with a current negative cash burn as against current cash flow from current operations, has made a couple questionable moves as of late. The management on some level appears to be a rather arrogant, rapacious, predatory group. Here is a management that recently pushed through an "options swap" resolution at their recent annual meeting while nearly synchronously doing a covrt bond issue swap. It seems that the week before the annual meeting VRNM announced they would swap existing cvt debt at 5.5% for new cvrt debt at 9%. They were able to nearly halve the principle so the ~2X interest increase might be marginally a near wash in total. Well this is of course not helping that negative cash burn, but that of course was not the main concern of the convertible bond holders. They were accepting way below market rates for their conversion prospects. Unfortunately management failed to either maintain or improve on the stock's performance and so the conversion value has become dubious. While this is of course a mostly sound strategy for a penny stock like this, for maintaining their credibility in terms of having to raise further equity there was a failure to fully apprise shareholders of how this marginally increasing cash flow requirement might be met. That news bloomed a week later when they announced the servicing of this new debt instrument either entirely or in part with shares in lieu of cash. While all this was going on, at the meeting on 9/2 this Management/BOD passed the Stock "options swap" resolution. This is a Merrill Lynch/BOA model scam that will now reward this questionable management for their failure to provide any performance in the shares. Since VRNM sees an impending awarding of a DOE loan/ loan guarantee/grant as being forthcoming in the very near term, the management figures there is plenty of extra cash being infused and they quite rightfully have every right to be pigs and help themselves to some of this by extracting some extra equity out of shareholder's equity. This swap would have of course been quite acceptable as an incentivization of most of the 300 employees if the management had seen fit to exclude the over ~$250K compensated personnel from participating. This Carlos Riva guy receives +$700K in total compensation already out of the negative cash burn of this company. There are four or five other BOD managers posting +$400 k compensation. The shareholders are concerned that someone like Senator Shelby finds out about this scamming of taxpayer money. This could endanger or delay the DOE action that most expect will be the catalyst to get the Vercipia project moving forward. This board also voted a reverse stock split at the meeting.
While they proclaimed that they were trying to get a sustainable stock price well above $5 with a 1:12 split hopefully getting more institutional participation in the shares, they then subsequently to the split announced the servicing of the previously mentioned debt with a share dilution scheme.
None of the particulars of the votes at the meeting were released to the shareholders until after the close of the market the day after the meeting adjourned. Apparently the investor relations person a Ms Carmody left her office to go home before the market closed the day of the meeting. Investors who called in that period were directed to voice mail.
There was and has been very little useful information released by investor relations as to when the actual split of shares is to be accomplished. This then is making it difficult for shareholders to make decisions on the purchase of additional shares to prevent any of their positions being lost to fractional share redemptions and the creation of odd ball lots. Apparently the company is unsure whether to pay the fractional shares on the basis of the current market or the price on the record date of the split. Perhaps just allocating Bona fide funds to redeem fractional shares may be a problem.
These shares may come to look like a chart of DIN which made a Form -3 shelf registration to sell $200 MM in shares, debt, and preferred etc on 7/31. Most of that is anticipated to be used to pay down and restructure debt. Restructuring of debt that is what the cvt to the 9% cvrt notes were? Or.. the DOE cavalry may come riding to the rescue in just the nick of time and the shares could jump to $1 pre-split. Personally I think if the later case were to come to pass it would be an excellent opportunity to get some or all these shares off the table pending an outcome of the subsiding of a short covering spike, and the extent of share and equity dilution to shareholders by a voracious management, becoming more defined by the market.

Definitions for old welsh
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word old welsh
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
Old′ Welsh′(n.)
the Welsh language of the period before c1150.
Category: Peoples
Old Welsh(ProperNoun)
The Welsh language as it existed from about 800 until the early twelfth century (when it developed into Middle Welsh), not readily intelligible to modern Welsh speakers.
Old Welsh
Old Welsh is the label attached to the Welsh language from about 800 AD until the early 12th century when it developed into Middle Welsh. The preceding period, from the time Welsh became distinct from Common Brittonic around 550, has been called "Primitive" or "Archaic Welsh". Many poems and some prose have been preserved from this period, although some are in later manuscripts, for example the text of y Gododdin. The oldest surviving text entirely in Old Welsh is probably that on a gravestone now in Tywyn church, thought to date from the 7th century. A text in the Lichfield Gospels called the Surrexit Memorandum is thought to have been written in the early 8th century but may be a copy of a text from the 6th or 7th centuries.

need advice and thoughts on how to handle..
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 11-04-2013 - 4:56pm
Hello all- again.
It's been a couple of years since i have been at ivillage. I am back. And need help again. AND i did not realize there was a college board!!!
Background - My dd is 19 and in sophomore year of college. Her first year was not good having many anxiety issues. She has a learning disability and really is about 1 year behind the pack- mentally/socially – but excellent academically.
We had not had a good sophomore- junior year of HS as she latched on to an controlling boyfriend that i could not get her away from and of course I became the enemy and she became sexually active. After 2 years of this - they finally broke up and i thought i was finally out of the woods. Not so. But the damage was done, and we had trust issues and other mother /daughter issues after living a Romeo /Juliet type of existence.
Enter boyfriend #2.... I thought he was a doll, (like i did with the first one too), and he is a doll... and maybe that's the problem. She knew him from HS and on the outside he seems "perfect" – smart, intelligent, cute, kind and she is in love with him, and he makes her happy and he is VERY respectful of us, her parents ... sounds good? (I was almost in love too!)
Here's the problem: I just found out that many of the things he has been telling us.. which seemed interesting or farfetched, may actually be lies. She met him in her senior year in HS, and all of her friends thinks he is charming and wonderful!!!! Which we though too... until things started to unravel. Thy have been dating for 2 years now
First problem.. He is muslim.. not a problem for us,,,, but of course for his parents so since the beginning he has told us, his parents don't know, and would not understand his relationship with our daughter, so we went along with trying to understand this issue, since it did also happen for both my husband and myself as well, when we were younger and wanted to date outside our faith. We are not terribly religious and this really does not bother us. BUT... while we would drop him off down the block from his home, where he said he lived... IS NOT his actual Home - we just found out. He claims his parents do not want him out after dark, and needed to be home by dark , so respectfully we would get him home all summer long... before dark.. my daughter nicknamed him - her vampire! He told us, that his parents believe bad things happen after dark... but when he is college - there is no such restriction?
This all started to get weird after he told my daughter - HE had stage 4 lung cancer and stage 2 leukemia - back in July.. right before my dd's birthday - lost a whole weekend crying over this boy and my daughters' love for him... We have truly come to love him - even though we knew he would probably break off with her eventually - (even thought she does not see or believe this). He told my dd he has 4 years to live… and he has known for 6 months already.
He told us he has cancer.. yet each week he would tell us that the study he is in, will be starting "next month" (supposedly it started in Sept.) He has supposedly left college for "treatment" but his answers about treatment are very "read from a script" or do not make sense...... " they are treating the leukemia, because the lung cancer is not an issue right now"?????? WHAT!!!? He claims he is ok with the radiation, and has not side affects but the drs will not let him attend college until he is better. Therefore he is taking a break from college, but visiting my daughter at her college whenever he "can",. I told several of my friends an coworkers who know this boy, and us.. and all say.. there is something not right, and all of this does NOT ring true. When i press my daughter.. all she says is - you know what i know.. as he tells us all info... and he never looks or acts sick.
A month ago he visited my daughter at college and she asked us to - we drove him home and just before we dropped him off at the end of his "block" and while talking about his new permit... i asked to see his funny picture which he kept talking about... (but i wanted to see his address.... the address on the DMV permits was NOT Seneca Rd., like he said.. it showed Flanders Ave #2....WHAT! SO we dropped him off in the spot he wanted.. and waited.. to see if he went down to Seneca. Guess what. first he was watching our car - so we had to move.. and his watching us let us know... he was up to something. After turning around the car to go in the other direction.. we saw him going away from Seneca and going in the direction of Flanders!!
A few days later while he was visiting at my daughter's school.... my husband checked the mailboxes that are outside the building on Flanders - and found out his name is on one of the mailboxes! His own mailbox? Along with 2 other boxes with the same last name.
He claims his mother works in an ER in her Pakistani/Muslim Garb - and only treats women... and the hospital allows this - since she can't treat men (??) And when I looked up his mom's name, as she is supposed to be a dr with a NY license…nothing comes up on the NY Registry. She does not exist.
I asked him the Dr with whom is is getting treatment at the hospital.. that name does not come up either. Anything I try to verify.. I cannot.. and I cannot speak to his parents either.. IT is a win-win for him. Nothing to validate.
He has told us that his father, not only owns the Seneca house.. but others as well… and we believed him. Just last week I found 2 websites that will tell you the owner of a house… and according to them..His father is NOT the owner of the house on Seneca, nor on Flanders! But he just recently told my dd that his Uncle owns the Flanders building.
So.. now my stomach is in knots… why is he lying and do I tell my daughter. And how much do I tell her. And will she believe us.
I have even told him – he must tell his best friend just in case he really gets sick, so my dd has a contact to know info.. but he claims he will… each time we speak.. he will, he just hasn't yet.
The permit is the easiest thing,, as we can tell her that we saw this and it does not make sense. BUT he can say he gets his mail at the uncles… and she will believe it… (I want to see him actually walk in or out for further proof)
Every time this boy comes to my house to see her or visits for the weekend my daughters school – which is now getting to be almost every weekend since he is not at his school … I am getting sick and concerned. She now stays with her girlfriend who lives off campus – just so she can have him stay for the weekend.
I do not know what to say of IF I should say anything at all.. as she is 19 and will only kill the messenger if they have bad news. I remember telling girlfriends when I was younger that her boyfriend was cheating /lying/ etc and she hated me..and stayed with him anyway.. until they were ready to see the truth.. but by them.. I was the outcast.
This is my daughter…not a friend - do I tell her that my husband and I saw the permit a month ago .. or not. Do I tell her he may be lying about other things .. or not. Do I have my husband tell her.. so that I am not part of this?? She may trust my husband more…. And then.. when to tell… do we wait for thanksgiving when she is home? Or just do it when we see her next. Or wait till after xmas… so we do not ruin this for her…….
She is still putting school first.. and doing well, as far as I know. I know her world will crash if she does believe us…. Or she will be against us again
I have also thought of having a friend ask for his permit in front of her to show her this info… and then discuss.
OR do we just fess up and tell her how concerned we are that he is lying –not just to his parents but to all of us too…
Part of me says it's her life.. stay out.. BUT I believe he is a liar and what else is he lying about??… and she is an innocent and does not question anything.
Or do I stay devious and try to not be a target? What to do??
One more thing. A friend has mentioned that he may be involved with a muslim group or some jihad.. which may trump school.. If he has no reason to live - so i am VERY concerned... or stupidly buying into a stereotype and worried for not reason.
My husband - who says many of this make no sense... seems to also live in ignorant bliss.
So I don't know how concerned i should be… or not to be, and only driving myself crazy... for now.

Not sure how to answer - what a mess. I think if I really felt things were flaky, but if it's not hurting your dd for now, I'd wait til winter break so as not to mess up how the semester is going. But boy, exactly what to do about it...I guess I'd just hope your dd would figure things out as I know if I told ds anything about a gf he'd just defend her and it'd last longer. Best of luck.
|Tue, 11-05-2013 - 6:01pm
Wow - this is a tough one. I've been in a place where I was not happy with my dd's choice of a partner (whom she ended up marrying, then divorcing). It's not a good place to be, because adult children have to make their own decisions. At the same time, I don't think we have to be completely quiet and devoid of opinion. Also, I understand the mother-daughter dynamic - BTDT too. I think it would be OK to voice some concerns about some facts about this young man, while still acknowledging your dd's feelings for him - which you can identify with because you also have been very fond of him.
First of all, to me, the license address thing would NOT be something to bring up. Even though you see he lives somewhere else, many people have licenses from old addresses that haven't yet been changed. The red flags to me are that, after 2 years he is still keeping this relationship a secret from his parents, and also the "cancer diagnosis." After 2 years he should be coming clean with his family, and if he can't/won't, what kind of future will they have? The health issues, again, if real would be generally out in the open, at least with her, to the point where if they are in a serious, committed relationship he would be telling her much more and even sharing details about his treatment. So what it looks like is a 2 year relationship with huge "holes".
I've done some secret "checking up" on things related to my dds and their significant others and honestly, in some ways I regretted doing it. It puts you in the terrible position of having information you can't do anything with. I would not share with your dd that you have done any of that because that will surely upset and alienate her. My suggestion would to find a time to sit down with her and just be honest that you see some red flags in this relationship and state the obvious ones that she can't deny. Then ask her what she thinks, and ask her where she sees this relationship going in the future. Remind her that you have also been very fond of her bf and that you totally understand the things she loves about him. Tell her that you know it might be hard for her to hear your concerns, but because you love her and want her to be happy, you owe it to her to be honest about your feelings. And after that, if she blows it all off- you're done. Be there for her, continue to nurture your relationship with her, and in the end if the s*&% hits the fan, she will know she can come to you for support (and if that happens, no "I told you so's!"!). If you talk to her honestly now and she doesn't change anything, at least you've planted the seed for her to think about it. She may be more aware of inconsistencies in the future and come to her own decision in the end.
Hope others chime in - you may get a lot of different opinions!

thank you for your posts and info..
I agree with Sue.. I am going to bide my time and wait till winter break, when she is not under pressure, and hopefully can hear the information i need to give her better.
While i understand your not thinking that the address is important... It IS very important in that he has told her AND us many times.. that he does indeed LIVE on that street... which will possibly show her (and us) that he lies about both big and small things. If i do not bring up the address... I will (according to her i am sure) have had NO reason to not believe his cancer story and i will have had a base of WHY we started trying to validate the information in the first place.... When someone lies small... they can also lie big..
I also spoke to the therepist last night (which we both see individual, and in the past together) and she is also concerned- as his answer for why he does not need to tell his parents is ... "He will be dead in a few years.. so therfore the relationship really is not going to go anywhere and they do not need to know! ".... We think he can "mysteriously die" or move to London where he once said he would like to move.. and be gone...my daughter.. not being allowed to speak to his family... not having any other friends that were originally to know of his sickness.. and originally she was not even to tell us.. her parents.. He almost had all road for her closed to check or validate any info... AND we would not even KNOW which house was his.leaving him smug... i am sure.
I would like her to know.. as i have alwasys told her.. to always check facts... and to really get to know someone..you need to know where they live and HOW they live.. (we even discussed this re: Kim Kardasian with her last husband.. and how he had several dogs.. and did not really know this fact untl she went to his house... and saw for herself.. We discussed how this would be a problem animal lover vs not.. etc...PS.. they got divorced! )
Her counsler believes we should tell her about all of the checking we did to validate all of the information we have - showing her - we are not making this up (like he does) and we have proof (except for the cancer issue) that everything he has told us.. where he lives . what property his father owns(not) what dr's he's going to.. even his mother ( dr not registering in NY) are all things that she should know are NOT TRUE>.. so she can question HIM..and herself.. as she has seen inconsistancies.. but could not put the info together. i.e.. He told us while in the car one day that his mother has 2 cars.and drives to work herself.. He told my Daughter that she takes the bus... she jumped on the car info right away saying " i thought you said....." but he always has a slick answer, and now that i am more aware.. I see that... I did not see that before.. I just believed... like see is doing... Like anyone would do.... IF they had no reason to think the other person is lying..
He also claims to not be in school.. or registered.. but he keeps having to go back to school to speak to the guidence counsler ...etc. And since she is in school...M-F... she is busy with her own studies... and he knows this too.
And he does share his treatment information... all textbook stuff... He must have read good. She even asked him to take a picture of him when he is in hospital.(did not know she asked this.. which tells me something too.) He brought back and showed her.. and she asked him to show me - the picture.. which i could NOT place.. Strange bed -one .. with strange furniture.. could be a treatment room..could be a dorm..nothing stuck out to say what or where this was... very strange.. But she does encourage ME to ask him questions... when she is there with him.. and when i ask how things are going..she says..you ask him... he keeps telling me the same ...
As far as the future... She is convinced he will die in 4 years.. as his word is good. and she plans not to worry till year 2. ( we are only in Month 11.. according to them.) She believes he is in denial.. but then.. so is she.
Did he do this to lock her up emotionally? I do not know. She is VERY loyal and totally in love....
I am truly so sorry that this is not a real love for her... and don't really want to be the harbinger of bad new/info..
But i feel.. the information.. speaks for itself.. and she should know..
You are correct.. sometimes information is NOT good and bad to know... BUT i did not go looking for this.. he started this.
Thank you SO much for your help and support.

(devious hat on) What if you suggested she surprise him with a visit one day? Then when she goes to 'his house'....or does she not even know which one it's supposed to be?
|Wed, 11-06-2013 - 11:54am
Waiting to talk to her until she has a break, so that she can keep on track with her studies, makes sense. I also wasn't aware that she and you were seeing a therapist together in the past, and that you still see the same person now. Given the therapist knows your dd and how she would react, and she is advising you to tell her everything you have done regarding checking up on him, I guess I'd go with that. You and your therapist know your dd and I don't. I just know that my dds, especially my older one, would have a real problem with my checking up on their boyfriends, and it would probably cause significant damage to our relationship. On the other hand, there are so many scary red flags in this case, you might just want to take that chance. There is not any easy answer. Good luck and let us know how it turns out once you've talked.

All of this adds up to one thing in my mind: that this guy is a pathological liar. And I would want my daughter to see this for herself and to recognize that she is too valuable to settle for someone like this.
I don't know anything about your relationship, but if my daughter were dating this guy, I would gently and persistently remind her of the long list of inconsistencies in his story and ask if this is what love and transparency really look like? And I'd remind her that trust isn't built by credibly explaining away an awkward situation, but by consistently being exactly who you say you are. And this guy isn't doing this at all. It really doesn't matter what his motives are. He's just sick with lying and not a suitable partner for anyone.
|Wed, 11-06-2013 - 3:19pm
Oh, Montana! My heart was pounding reading this. I have some concerns about my 19 y.o. DD's relationship too, but nowhere like your DD's boyfriend. I know your therapist says to tell her about your investigative work, and that's coming from professional experience. But from what some of the other moms have shared, we know it ain't gonna be well-received by your daughter and can push her to him. Does your daughter realize the discrepancies in his stories? Is she defending/justifying his explanations? At 19, she doesn't have the experience we have with daily life and how things really work. I cringe at some of the nonsense I went along with back then. It probably all sounds plausible to her. Or hopefully she has some idea that things aren't adding up, but doesn't know how to break it off or isn't quite ready to. If she's oblivious to the inconsistencies, maybe you will have to plant that seed of doubt in her head and tell her what you've found out. And of course she's going to tell him and he won't be happy either. But this does have to come to a head really soon. I don't even want to go there with the jihad stuff, because that is just another level of insanity-for lack of a better word. But aside from that, this level of lying is more than a red flag, it's psychopathic and dangerous. I'm praying for a good outcome for this.
Sorry for rambling.
Is there any way you can do a background search on him? I really don't know what, but maybe try googling him. You never know what may turn up. Alas, it may be that there is nothing you can do but wait it out.
|Wed, 11-06-2013 - 8:55pm
If "...She even asked him to take a picture of him when he is in hospital.(did not know she asked this.. which tells me something too>>>" then she has some suspicions. However, all anyone has is suspicions, and innuendo. Stop tip-toeing around, and hire a private investigator. The cost is NOT as high as people assume, and since this guy has given conflicting information already, it's not like he's a mastermind. It won't take long (and therefore, won't cost as much) to find the truth. Then you can address your daughter with FACTS. And if by some miracle he is legit, you can show her that too. And whichever way it plays out, show her the facts and then shut up.
|Thu, 11-07-2013 - 8:06am
thank you all for your replies, and support..
yes this is a crazy situation, and one that I never thought I would be in.
Please remember - this boy lives in our town, and she has gone to school with him - he is not a stranger.. so orginally everything he said.. seemed to be honest and real - and i never would have checked ONE fact.. until things started to not make sense to me - in my logical mind.. and i have done detective work in the past - in my own life... My mother...when my parents were in the middele of a divorce.. my boyfriends.. - when i believed they were cheating or dishonest.. my girlfriends... if they needed help with boyfriends.. etc...
Once i felt something was up.. yes i googled the hell out of his name and everyname he gave me.. with not much luck. First his name is too commen in muslim circles.. like John Smith...... 2nd only recent HS and college stuff came up...
I am no thrilled at telling my daughter i have done this research.. but if i do not... the only thing i have is the permit.. and he CAN say that he gets all mail at his "uncles house" which he claims owns that house. Since home ownership is public data - I was able to find out the owners names of both houses.. the one he "lives" and his "uncles" and neither one is owned by his father.. the name he gave me - and his "Uncles" him is owned by someone with an Italian Name... not muslim.
If i do not share this with her.. my "case" gets very weak... and i think i need to share this info for her to question things as well
Also.. FYI.. my daughter has a learning disablility and while very intelligent on paper... very trustworthy, sensative, and does not understand alot of social things that go on.. she does not understand (for real) why people do certain things as her "logic" is wired differently.. and she has trouble seeing it the way the rest of us all do... (ex.. she things it rude that jobs do not call back to tell you, you don;t have the job - to confirm...makes sense in one way.. but they do not do this... it took me 4 days to get this through to her -that they ONLY call when /IF you get the job... UGH!!!)
She has social issues that go along with a learning disability that are not obvious.. so even she will state that she "NEEDS" him to translate some of the information at parties or social scenes .. and he "HELPS" her in situations.. and they have fun together... IF she feels she NEEDS him... not good for her.. or ME... and we have discussed haveing a boyfriend and NEEEDING.. but she is 19 and in her own world... sometimes literally!!!
She does question things.. but again.. who doesn't know a girl or a woman.. who knows something is up...... but does not face it...
I need to tread lightly i know.. but i feel if i only tell her half information it will not be strong enough for her to call him a liar. One or two lies.. can be dismissed.. but when everything starts getting shady... even she will need to open her eyes.. ( I hope)
I also think that during her break she will have other friends around to discuss some of the info we share with her, and have other input...
If she is really open... Yes.. we can set him up.. But if she doesn't .. ???????????
He has already told her, and my husband and I.. that him MOM will be very angry if she knew about Rachel.. and as stated.. we understoond that... and they have avoided movies and other events.. IF his sister was to be there.. and my daughter is fine with this.. and i am sure it makes some of it ... "more exciting" and sometimes.. she gets really annoyed..
I was hoping this would be a natural breakup after time.. and would have let it go.. except for the lying that really bothers me.
I never really thought they had a future together.. but as stated.. would have excepted him - when i thought he was truthful! He is really a charming guy.. always helping my husband or I with fall chores,, household projects, and just being part of our family.. so this hurts me as well... and i REALLY don't want to tell my daughter... I am just thinking I really should.. and her counseler does not like "the situation" rather than the person... where i am getting mad at him lying to her... my heart.
IF i were to hire a private eye... i think my daughter would then get really upset... as all i have done so far... is GOOGLE all the info.
I also thought about contacting a police friend of mine.. and a friend that can get HS school info as well.. but i am waiting for now, and my use that as backup.. if she asks for more info.. or needs more than i can supply...
Yes.. she is also the one who asked for the picture..... things to not sit well with her.. but when you are in love.. you want to be blind.
Thanks ALL!!!!

I don't really have any other suggestions than what you've gotten but just wanted to send you positive thoughs - it sounds like a difficult situation. You seem to be on top of things and are acquiring information for if and when you do talk to your dd about it. Keep us posted!

So i haven't been on spark people for a couple months. i got discouraged when i hit my plateau. I lost ten lbs and stopped. Now I'm ready to try it again and i really want to get back into the groove of spark people. I'm just glad that i can positively say that even though i was not on this web site that i did not gain or lose anything and while some say that's not good. i say that its not bad cuz i wasn't even watching what i ate, and before when i did that, I would gain some weight. So I think that means that somehow my subconscious is controlling when i get full or what not. So with that note i need to get back into the exercise groove as well. i want to focus on my legs and abs and arms. anyone have efficient exercise ideas for those areas? thank you so much. looking forward to the encouragement that i received last time i was logged on. thank you very much everyone.
ok so today im down 9 lbs, almost 10 and thats a great feeling when i looked at the scale considering that my stress has gone way up. today i have a blood test and ive got a terrible fear of needles. anyone have a solution for that? lol. and also my doctor has me on the pill for its health benefits. do any ladies out there find anything while on the pill that will effect weight loss? first time ive been on it so i do not know what to expect. sorry havnt blogged in a while. i kinda been slipping up on this site. i think ive sorta hit a plateau. hmmmm. well leave suggestions in the comments guys. i will be on later to check them out. have a great day!
I just took this quiz here on spark people, and it tells you what kinda eater you are and what is the best option for a diet and exerscise plan is for you. I am sure that some of you have already found it, but for those of you who are new to this site, i will add the link for you right now:
ok that was the introduction. the rest of this blog is going to be about my results.
so my results say that i am an emotional eater. i guess that makes sense. I started gainging alot of weight when i had issued with my dad in freshman year, and after my parents divorced i just got bigger and bigger. after that, my life got a little more active, and i started loosing weight and getting more healthy. now recently a friend of mine is going through a stressful time and that causes stress for me and i find myself emotionally eating then i feel guilty for not sticking to my plan that i have and i hit the gym 2 or sometimes 3 times more than i would in a normal day.
since i have joined spark people, I have gotten a little healthier and paid attention to when i am standing in front of an open fridge when im not even hungry. (and there has been a signifigant number of sucesses where i was able to close it and walk away without eating a single calorie) but i want input from you guys out there who are in the same boat as me. if you are an emotional eater, what kind of things do you do to help yourself with it? And what do you find works for you?
Im very interested in what you have to say. thank you.

Monday. That is when I decided that I was going to start loosing weight. I started it on tuesday, when I found this site. When I started off, I didnt make the right choice and I was going about 200 calories less than my minimum that I am supposed to eat.
Im finding now that I can eat the right amount of calories for my height and weight (I end up eating about 1200-1300 a day now and its easier than what i was doing before) also i have found out a new thing to make me a little less hungry throughout the day. after i eat a breakfast I go and work out a little (not a whole lot) between breakfast and lunch.
I think it gets my mind off the food and gets it back onto something positive. I do the same thing for between lunch and dinner. (just another small workout, maybe 15 minuets) and then after dinner I get out the "big guns" and I workout for an hour, and sometimes more. working out before bed also makes me tired so it helps my sleep too and that is a good thing. :)

The oPhone's scent-texting is another thing from the movies that became reality
What could be the next big thing in messaging apps? Hint - it isn't Slingshot. Although the app is anything but lousy, it doesn't really smell like gold. The oPhone, however, does. Fashioned by Vapor Communications, the odor-ific phone relies on a "scent texting" system invented by Harvard's David Edwards and Rachel Field. It is, indeed, able to transmit scents over the air on a large distance. The oPhone's demonstration in NYC marked the world's first transatlantic scent exchange.
So, how does the whole thing play out? Users download the free iOS app "oSnap", photograph their meals, and tag it with the appropriate smells – in the future, the last step will be automatic. The so-called "oNote" is sent over e-mail, Facebook, and Twitter to "oPhone hotspots" around the world. As the technology is a showroom piece for now, these are positioned only in Manhattan, Paris, and Cambridge, so plan your trip accordingly.
Vapor wants to launch the oPhone as early as 2015, so it put together an Indiegogo campaign. If the fundraiser goes as planned, the device will sell for $199 ($149 on pre-sale). Edwards admits that the first oPhone will be "more of a massive focus group" than the done deal, but if the technology works smooth enough, users should be pretty enthusiastic to the idea. And when the whole thing gets shrunk to fit modern smartphones, app creators' imagination will be on fire. "Illustrating" a photo with an authentic scent will deliver a bold impact. In the professor's own words, "I say to you 'croissant', and you say 'Oh, that sounds good,' but you smell it and you're hungry."

There seem to always be a few Tech geeks going back to the 50s that want to introduce smell to any new technology. NO ONE ever wants it.. ! I feel sorry for the investors.

When interest rates rise, the value of bonds declines. Many experts are sure that rates will increase next year, but should you worry about that? Why are experts convinced that rates will rise next year? For one, the Federal Reserve announced last week that it will start raising the federal funds rate next year from the near-zero rate of today. The Fed is also tapering quantitative easing, meaning that it's buying back its own longer-term bonds at a much slower pace …

Over the past five years, U.S. stocks have tripled in value. For example, the Wilshire 5000 total return index increased from 27.50 to 82.62. Yet paranoia about the market has caused many investors to miss out. The chart below shows the return an investor would have received just by owning a total U.S. stock index fund and reinvesting the dividends. A total U.S. stock index fund essentially owns every publicly held company based in the U.S. Though the chart tracks …

"I looked up at the scoreboard and I was like, I can't do math that fast!" - Ed Ruth
Today in wrestling it's so much more than state titles. Look at big tournaments, Fargo, etc.
Edgar Bright didn't win 1 title in Ohio and I'd take him over a lot of Ohio state champions and PA state champions. It's not as simple as you're trying to make it sound. It's case by case, imo.
To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.
I wasn't limiting it to just state titles, Edgar Bright helps prove my point. He is a far better recruit then big fishes from smaller states. I am not discounting national tournaments at all, but hey Eric Grajales won Fargo and look where that got him. When he had to wrestle top kids day in and day out he was exposed as overrated. Guys like David Taylor and Nico Megaludis had to wrestle some of the best in the nation day in and day out, kids wrestlers like Finch only saw at the occasional national tournament.

Look at Earls recruiting rewind.
2. Zach Kemerer from Pa
3. Albert white-illinois(i consider an elite hs state)
4. Nemec-ohio
there are other big state guys in those rankings that far from lived up to the hype.
It is easy to say "Hey look at Cody Gardner, hes from VA and was a flop. But it happens everywhere.

research guide
editors & contributors
write the editor
The works of García Lorca, internationally recognized as Spain's most prominent lyric poet and dramatist of the twentieth century, are filled with thinly veiled homosexual motifs and themes.
There has always been homosexual involvement in American musical theatre and a homosexual sensibility even in straight musicals, and recently the Broadway musical has welcomed openly homosexual themes and situations.
Best known for his genius in art and architecture, Michelangelo was also an accomplished author of homoerotic poetry.
The African-American gay male literary tradition consists of a substantial body of texts and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century.
Combining elements of incongruity, theatricality, and exaggeration, camp is a form of humor that helps homosexuals cope with a hostile environment.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer. Photograph by Gage Skidmore (CC BY-SA 3.0).
On July 2, 2012, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer announced that she has filed an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court asking it to lift an injunction from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that prevents the enforcement of a law aimed at stripping state workers of domestic partner benefits that she signed in 2009.
The appeal comes in the case of Diaz v. Brewer, which involves eligibility for healthcare benefits for the domestic partners of state employees. The case arose from the following circumstances.
In 2008, Governor Janet Napolitano by administrative action extended healthcare benefits to the domestic partners (both same-sex and opposite-sex) of state employees. Also in 2008, Arizona voters adopted a constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. In September 2009, the Republican legislature passed and Governor Brewer signed legislation that limited dependents of state employees to spouses and certain children, thus eliminating the healthcare benefits for domestic partners.
In November 2009, Lambda Legal Education and Defense Fund filed suit in United States District Court for the District of Arizona on behalf of ten plaintiffs, all state employees and domestic partners of a person of the same sex.
Lambda Legal argued that the redefinition of dependents was designed to discriminate against gay and lesbian employees and their domestic partners. Although the law is facially neutral in that it does away with benefits for both same-sex and opposite-sex domestic partners, gays and lesbians are disparately affected since opposite sex couples may marry in Arizona but same-sex couples cannot. Lambda Legal asked the court to issue a preliminary injunction to prevent the statute from taking effect.
On July 23, 2010, Judge John W. Sedwick granted a temporary injunction blocking enforcement of the law. The Court cited a study presented by the plaintiffs that showed that denying health benefits to same-sex partners would have a minimal impact on the state's $7.8 billion annual budget, saving at most $1.8 million, but would have a disastrous effect on the plaintiffs. The Judge rejected the state's argument that the denial of benefits to domestic partners was taken merely as a cost-saving measure rather than as a discriminatory action.
On September 6, 2011, a unanimous three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's action in issuing the preliminary injunction.
Writing for the panel, Judge Mary M. Schroeder found it unnecessary to consider whether heightened scrutiny was required to evaluate the legislation since the statute failed under the rational basis review. She found that it violated the equal protection clause of the Fifth Amendment.
The defendants petitioned the Ninth Circuit for an "en banc review." On April 3, 2012, the petition was denied.
Brewer's petition to the Supreme Court will be decided when it returns from its summer recess, when it will also decide whether to hear challenges to district and appellate court decisions regarding the Defense of Marriage Act and California's Proposition 8.
Tara Borelli, senior staff attorney with Lambda Legal, expressed confidence that the injunction against the Arizona anti-gay law would remain standing.
"We are confident that the lower courts' decisions upholding domestic partner coverage for lesbian and gay employees will continue to carry the day," Borelli said. "Arizona's arguments have been turned down again and again by the federal courts, and we expect it will be no different here."
Lambda Legal has until August 6 to respond to Brewer's petition.
Diaz v. Brewer is an important case because it concerns important issues of equal protection and the targeting of gay people for discrimination under color of cost-savings and other apparently neutral concerns.
In the video below, Tara Borelli tells Lambda Legal's 2011 Women's Soiree about a number of cases the organization is pursuing in court, including Diaz v. Brewer.

The Kiwanis Club of Chippewa Falls was organized on April 21, 1919. Our club has produced one District Governor, Alexander Wiley (1933) and thirteen Lieutenant Governors, the first Alexander Wiley (1932) and the last G. Rex Rathbun (1988).
Thank you to all who vistited the Kiwanis Ice Cream Stand at the Northwern Wisconsin State Fair! Can't wait for next year.
The Chippewa Falls Kiwanis Club has initiated a Golden Rule Student Recognition Program that honors local students for following the age-old motto "Do unto others as you would like others do unto you".
"Kiwanis members appreciate the value of recognizing our young citizens for doing community service and displaying positive character," says Mary Jacobson, co-chair of Community/Youth Services Committee of the Kiwanis Club of Chippewa Falls. "Many students are recognized for athletic and academic achievements, but we choose to honor students who live by the Golden Rule, one of Kiwanis Constitutional objects, as integrity and character are valuable attributes for life."
Each month, two seniors, one each from Chippewa Falls Senior High School and McDonell Area Catholic Schools, are selected.
In honor of their recognition, Kiwanis Club of Chippewa Falls donates $25 to the charity of the student's choice.
Golden Rule students are nominated by the respective schools' teaches and staff, using specific criteria including, among others:
Thank you to those who came out and supported our Beer, Wine & Cheese Gala. We had a very successful event. We're looking forward to seeing you at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair on July 9-13, 2014.
As Kiwanis members we can take pride that we are making a difference in our communities, that we have already changed the world with our Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD) project, and that we are changing the world once again with the Eliminate Project. I encourage you to share this positive message with current and potential members of your club.
Information about my experience and goals can be found on my campaign website (www.patrickewing.net) and on my candidate page in the Elections section of the Convention website (www.kiwanis.org/vancouver).
Thank you for all you do for your club, for your community, and for our global organization. We truly are making a difference, changing the world one child and one community at a time.
Patrick Ewing
International Trustee

text: Maldonado interested in Lotus seat for 2014 9 October, 2013 Pastor Maldonado He may have a watertight contract with Williams, but Pastor Maldonado has itchy feet at the team who have under-performed massively this season. On Wednesday of Auto Motor und Sport, made the claim, reporting that the Venezuelan has made an approach to Lotus about replacing the Ferrari-bound Kimi Raikkonen. The patience of the 28-year-old, who brings millions to Williams in the form of his state-connected PDVSA sponsorship, has reportedly run out. Maldonado is apparently desperate for a better car, but German correspondent Michael Schmidt said Williams can actually rest easy. "The contract with Maldonado's South American sponsors is watertight," he revealed, claiming Williams got the deal re-checked recently by a top lawyer in London. Schmidt added that the PDVSA contract, worth about € 35 million to Williams every year, runs until 2015. Nonetheless, Maldonado is quoted as having said: "This year I'm here. Next year I don't know where I'll be." (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

El contrato de williams estipula que si maldonado sale, entrará otro venezolano por él (el contrato termina a finales de 2014), sin embargo, la relación "lotus – total – pdvsa" debe discutirse. Maldonado ha mostrado agresividad y técnica, pero eso está manchado con los percances. Muchos no han visto que Maldonado ha sido campeón en cada categoría que ha participado, y eso no ha sido por regalarle flores a sus contrincantes. Maldonado en Lotus significa podios seguros.

Uproar over controversial film continues for second week in a row
For a second week in a row demonstrations continued across the Arab world in anger over a film made in the United States and a publication in France.
Both had depicted the Prophet Mohammad in a derogatory way.
Unlike in the past several days, the protests that took place in cities like Beirut and in Cairo were relatively peaceful.
In the heart of Beirut a protest took place that was organized by a Salafist group, but nonetheless it remained extremely peaceful and lasted a short while.
In Cairo you are seeing for the first time really strong condemnation of the kind of violence seen against US facilities and other diplomatic missions.
The President of the country who spoke after Friday prayers said it was unjustified to use violence in any way to try and protest the film and any type of inflammatory content that is coming out of the West

Food & Recipes
Raisins May Help Fight Cavities
June 8, 2005 -- Raisins may be a healthy snack for your teeth as well as your body.
Researchers have found that certain compounds contained in raisins appear to fight the bacteria in the mouth that cause cavities and gum disease.
"Our laboratory analyses showed that phytochemicals in this popular snack food suppress the growth of several species of oral bacteria associated with [tooth decay] and gum disease," says researcher Christine D. Wu, a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry.
"Raisins are perceived as sweet and sticky, and any food that contains sugar and is sticky is assumed to cause cavities," says Wu. "But our study suggests the contrary. Phytochemicals in raisins may benefit oral health by fighting bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease."
Wu presented the results at a meeting of the American Society for Microbiology in Atlanta. Her study was funded by the California Raisin Marketing Board.
Raisins: Nature's Cavity Fighters?
In the study, researchers analyzed the chemical composition of Thomas seedless raisins, a common black raisin variety.
Those analysis identified five phytochemicals -- plant antioxidants -- including oleanolic acid.
Laboratory tests showed that this phytochemical slowed or stopped the growth of two different types of bacteria commonly found in the mouth: Streptococcus mutans, which causes cavities, and Porphyromonas gingivalis, which causes gum disease.
Under scientific conditions in the lab, researchers found that oleanolic acid inhibited bacteria growth.
The study also showed that the phytochemical prevented cavity-causing bacteria from sticking to surfaces. This ability may help it prevent bacteria from sticking to teeth and forming plaques that eventually lead to cavities.
It's not clear how many raisins a person would have to eat to benefit from these cavity-fighting and gum disease-fighting benefits.

Kemper Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results
"Our Life and Health segment delivered another quarter of solid performance, despite the low interest rate environment. The Reserve National business continued its shift to products that are less impacted by national health care reform," added Southwell.
"On the capital front, we repurchased $20 million of common stock in the third quarter. In addition, we generated $50 million of realized gains, taking advantage of attractive pricing for tax-exempt municipal securities. As we announced earlier in the quarter, we are evaluating strategic options for the Kemper Direct segment and are on track to complete this evaluation by year-end," concluded Southwell.
- Kemper Preferred filed for overall rate increases of 6 percent in personal auto and nearly 9 percent in homeowners and continued to take actions to reduce exposures in the highest catastrophe prone areas.
- Kemper Specialty grew commercial automobile earned premiums 9 percent over third quarter 2011 through product enhancements and better agency engagement. This marks the third consecutive quarter of growth in this line of business.
- Kemper Home Service Companies continued its planned dwelling run-off; policies in force are down 9 percent from approximately 51,000 policies at the beginning of the year. Home Service expects to reduce dwelling policies in force an additional 11 percent by year-end.
- Reserve National reported stable quarterly accident and health earned premiums of $34.0 million, which included a 48 percent increase in earned premiums on its expanded supplemental product offerings, offsetting a 16 percent anticipated decrease in its hospitalization products.
CapitalDuring the quarter, Kemper repurchased nearly 650,000 shares of common stock at a cost of $20.0 million and paid dividends of $14.1 million. Year to date, Kemper repurchased over 2.0 million shares of common stock at a cost of $60.7 million.
