Yes.
Excellent post, color ...
... I myself have not spoken directly with Robert, but communicated with him via email. He did give me his numbers to reach him by phone.
I like where we're headed here ... and the naysayers crack me up!
Now there's an intelligent post!
The TA is "gagged"? .... hmmmm ....
... I'm not so sure about that. Here's the email I sent to Robert:

Thank you for replying so promptly. I wasn't sure if it was me reading things incorrectly or not. I'm a believer in your stock and company.
I'd like to ask a question, if I may also - can you comment on the apparent "gagged" TA for your stock? Is that going to be lifted or changed anytime soon, and are the outstanding shares accurate as shown on the Pinksheets?
Thank you again for your time and efforts,
XXXX

Hi XXXX,
I am traveling and will be back in my office late tomorrow afternoon and will be happy to speak with you and answer your questions more fully.
In the mean time, yes the share information with Pinksheets and the Secretary of State is correct.
We do not have any gag order with the transfer agent. If you have first hand information on such from someone there please let us know their name and we can address it with them.
Continental does however, as informed to me, have a policy to verify and confirm a shareholders validity by asking for their certificate or stock information. So, if a stockholders certificates are held by their broker then they are limited in their ability to verify the person calling is a shareholder and therefore limit the information they can provide. However, it would seem to me that they would and could verify the share question you had.
Please feel free to call me in my office for more information or provide me with your phone number and I will do my best to call you while I am traveling.
My general office number is XXXX and my direct office line is XXXX.
Regards,
Robert

Nature's Peak,
You need to contact whoever it is to correct the website date error showing up for "The Balancing Act".
The upper dates say they will appear on Lifetime TV on Feb. 22, then the show "airs again" on Feb. 5. Does it show first on JANUARY 22???
I'm just a stockholder noticing the error ...
XXXX
GOTCHA! ...
... and thanks for the welcome, Dan! Glad to be here!
NO ...
... I love it! You have the first long list, that says "Watch and Play". The second list says "Watch", for this week. Just wondering what happens to the 'Watch" list after a week passes, I guess. Do stocks "graduate" up to the "Watch and Play", or ... ???
Believe me, I'm not trying to confuse anybody here! This is my mother's fault, if anybody's! Remember, I'M the slow one here! LOL
Okay ddt ...
... fact: too much snow shoveling causes disfunctional brain wave activity.
... so the "Watch" list graduates into the "Watch and Play" list after a week? ... or ??? ... help me out here.
Smart decision.
At LAST ...

By the way, wanna trade places for a while? I'll give you this zero degrees and snow for where you're at!
Relax king j ...

Lighten up, my friend.
LOL ...

Better yet, here's the article, less the chart ...

Shell, Other Oil Firms Bolster Biofuels Spending
Royal Dutch Shell PLC has roughly doubled its financial support for biofuels start-up Codexis Inc. in the past year, the latest sign that oil companies are slowly and selectively increasing their interest in plants-to-fuels research.
Shell is on pace to spend $60 million in 2009 to fund research at Codexis, nearly twice the amount as the year before, according to regulatory filings. Codexis filed paperwork this week for a $100 initial public offering. The start-up is developing microbes to speed up the chemical reactions that turn inedible plants, such as grasses or stalks, into ethanol and diesel.
Other crude-oil companies also have increased spending on biofuels. Exxon Mobil Corp. said this summer it would spend $600 million over five or six years on a partnership with Synthetic Genomics Inc. to develop a way to turn algae into motor fuels. Chevron Corp. entered into a relationship in October with Mascoma Corp. to investigate plant-based fuel. And BP PLC created a venture with Verenium Corp. this year to build a fuel plant in central Florida next year.
Of course, this spending is tiny in comparison with these oil companies' annual capital budgets, which in some cases top $20 billion a year. But the funds are significant for biofuels research and are expected to accelerate efforts to determine if plants can be economically turned into motor fuels on a large scale.
Big oil companies don't appear to be interested in generating niche fuels. Rather, they are targeting investments at companies such as Codexis that can make a significant dent in a global 80-million-barrel-a-day fuel market. And they are steering clear of biofuels such as corn-based ethanol made from edible crops.
These investments are "proof that the oil industry sees the writing on the wall; they know they need to adapt," says Paul Dickerson, a partner at the law firm Haynes and Boone LLP and a former chief operating officer at the Energy Department's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. "We are not going to stop using oil, but these companies are aware that other energy sources are gaining traction, and they need to diversify their business plans just as America needs to diversify its energy supply."
Oil company interest in biofuels may be the industry's best chance right now. The industry was effectively frozen out of capital markets during the economic downturn and some advocates have been discouraged by the level of federal support.
The funding freeze has prevented the industry from fulfilling lofty goals. Two years ago, Congress envisioned that the industry would produce 100 millions gallons of biofuels from nonedible plants in 2010 and 250 million gallons in 2011. But few believe it can generate much more than 15 million gallons next year.
Codexis is developing enzymes to break down plant fibers into sugars. These sugars can then be turned into ethanol and diesel. Shell has a 20% stake in the company and Chevron owns another 5%. Codexis executives declined to be interviewed. The enzymes developed by San Francisco-based Codexis could be used, under an existing agreement, by Iogen Energy Corp., a biofuels company half owned by Shell.
If Codexis goes ahead and issues stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market—it filed once before in 2008 before pulling back when stock markets started falling—it would be the first biofuels company to hold an U.S.-listed IPO since December 2007 when China-based biodiesel maker Gushan Environmental Energy Ltd. debuted on the New York Stock Exchange, according to investment bank Dealogic.
Interesting ...
... the "Big" players ... like biofuel start-up Codexis, Inc. (Royal Dutch Shell PLC) ... and Synthetic Genomics, Inc. (Exxon Mobil Corp.) ...
Ya ... "Big Oil" isn't interested in anything but "Big" players. Right!
