OT-
i apologize to you and the board. i sent you my reply privately and delted my post to Tony and edited out this one.
old news but its from my hometown so i had to post it, bio-diesel fill station right down the road from me, i know one of the gents involved in this station, the smell of veggie oil is becoming a familiar scent around here!

Biodiesel blooms in Asheville
Green alternative to petroleum starts to make transportation inroads
by Steve Rasmussen
http://www.mountainx.com/news/2005/0330biodiesel.php
If Blue Ridge Biofuels has anything to say about it, every hippie bus in West Asheville should be able to dose on homemade biodiesel fuel this summer. By July, the group plans to open a publicly accessible pump in a part of town "where a lot of alternative people are," says spokesperson Matt Siegel – either on a Roberts Street lot adjacent to the West Asheville RiverLink Bridge or at a gas station on Haywood Road, according to director Brian Winslett.
Biodiesel is diesel fuel made wholly or partly from cooking fat or vegetable oil. And Blue Ridge's B100 fuel – 100 percent, unblended biodiesel cooked up at a local organic farm using grease the group's volunteers recycle from local restaurants – will be sold at a discounted price to anyone who joins the cooperative, which now has about 40 members. One of the goals of the group (formerly known as the Asheville Biodiesel Cooperative) is to develop biodiesel blends that can be used for heating homes.
Siegel announced the coming of the new facility on March 17 to an eager audience assembled for a first-of-its-kind meeting of current and would-be biofuel producers, distributors and consumers organized by the Land-of-Sky Regional Council at its headquarters off Leicester Highway.
"This is a roomful of distributors and people in the industry," marveled Ray Cockrell, the director of Warren Wilson College's auto shop and motor pool. Cockrell, who hopes to be one of BRB's regular customers, told the meeting he's negotiating with equipment manufacturer John Deere to buy some of the company's new biodiesel tractors for his school's extensive agricultural operations.
"John Deere is begging for you to use biofuels," Cockrell told the crowd. On March 4, the tractor-maker rolled out the first of its new line of tractors burning B2, a blend of conventional diesel fuel containing 2 percent biodiesel.
These developments appear to represent one face of a national schizophrenia concerning energy use. On the one hand, Congress seems to be leaning toward drilling for oil in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge rather than enacting tighter gas-mileage requirements. And General Motors is choosing to demolish its 6-year-old fleet of innovative EV1 rechargeable electric cars rather than sell them to the public – despite a widely publicized protest vigil by consumers wanting to buy them at any price.
On the other hand, you have John Deere and BioWillie. That's the brand of biodiesel that country-music star and FarmAid hero Willie Nelson is now marketing to the nation's long-haul truckers.
And unlike GM, John Deere is heeding the demands of its customer base: American farmers. Whereas environmentalists want to see the nation's trucks, buses and tractors filling up on BioWillie because it's far cleaner than petro-diesel and more than three times more energy-efficient to produce, farmers are pushing for biodiesel because they see all those soybean squeezings as a huge potential boon to the country's ailing agricultural sector, alt-fuel insiders say.
"Biodiesel has grown from nothing in 2000 to over 5 million gallons [of B20, the most common biodiesel blend] in 2004," notes Anne Tazewell, the N.C. Solar Center's alternative-fuels program manager. The state-sponsored agency is doing its part to accelerate that trend by making grants to alt-fuel producers and fleets.
Regional grease
And here in Western North Carolina, Warren Wilson isn't the only institution that's eager to make use of the new fuels. UNCA is helping Blue Ridge Biofuels obtain national transportation-fuel certification so the school can use a 20-percent (and, eventually, 50-percent) blend of the cooperative's biodiesel in its campus shuttles, Transportation Planner Yuri Koslen reports.
And Buncombe County Solid Waste Director Bob Hunter, whose fleet already runs on biodiesel, announced that the county also wants to convert 15 ambulances to the fuel and hopes eventually to use methane gas produced by decomposing vegetable matter at the county landfill to power vehicles designed to run on compressed natural gas, such as the two Chevrolet Monte Carlos the Sheriff's Department is converting to CNG. (Till then, they'll fuel up at the city of Asheville's soon-to-open CNG facility across from McCormick Field.) The Blue Ridge Parkway also is looking into biodiesel, staffer Mike Ryan reports.
Privately owned local fleets are also getting on the bandwagon. Hart Distributing of Weaverville, a wine-and-beer distributor, is operating two biodiesel delivery trucks, along with several propane, CNG and flex-fuel vehicles, employee Andrew Street told Xpress. (Flex-fuel cars can run on either gasoline or an alternative fuel.)
Eastern Tennessee and the North Carolina piedmont are a year or two ahead of WNC on the biodiesel wave, Bill Eaker reports. Eaker, the director of Land-of-Sky's Clean Air Campaign, organized the March 17 meeting. He brought in guest speakers representing users and distributors from those areas to share their tips on working with biodiesel – including its unique risks.
"If you use B100 and spill it on your truck, it will clean the paint off your vehicle," Jonathan Overly, executive director of the East Tennessee Clean Fuels Coalition, wryly warned. From December 2003 to December 2004, the public/private partnership boosted biodiesel use in east Tennessee from one guy driving a converted 1984 Volvo to nearly 90,000 gallons' worth of B100 distributed to local fleets. And the larger Southeastern Alternative Fuels Coalition, which Overly also helps direct, is now working to make biodiesel available at strategic points along the area's Interstate corridors. (At the moment, the closest pump to Asheville is in Newport, Tenn., says Eaker.)
Vegans take note: "Animal fat jells at a higher temperature than vegetable oil" and can easily clog engines and fuel tanks in cold weather, cautioned Barry Greenberg, director of maintenance for the Knoxville Area Transit Authority. He should know: Every vehicle at the University of Tennessee and every public-transit bus in Knoxville runs on biodiesel. Riders love it, Greenberg reports, because there's no smoke, no diesel smell, and less noise than with conventional diesel. Every pollutant except nitrogen oxide is substantially reduced (compared to petroleum-based diesel), and an additive now available even knocks down NOx levels.
Knoxville Transit, says Greenberg, is the only such agency in the country that actually converts fat and grease into biodiesel. That conversion process is what allows biodiesel to be used in any diesel engine – but to gain widespread acceptance, an infrastructure of producers and distributors such as Blue Ridge Biofuels and the larger Piedmont Biofuels needs to be developed.
Do-it-yourself "veggie diesel," on the other hand, can be pumped straight from any restaurant's grease trap into a diesel vehicle's fuel tank – but only if a conversion kit (such as those sold locally by Energy Liberty, a company owned by Asheville resident Dave Goree) has been installed.
Pioneering veggie-diesel grease cars traveling coast-to-coast on free french-fry oil have galvanized the American public's interest in biofuels. But it will probably be the biodiesel pumps now beginning to pop up in gas stations at freeway exits that will really help nudge alternative fuels into the mainstream. And if folks like those who came to the St. Patrick's Day meeting in Asheville have their way, those pumps may help restore the green to America's farm fields and put some of the blue back in our skies.
Bill Eaker certainly hopes so. "You kind of had the sense," he told Xpress after the meeting, "that things are going to happen as a result of those people getting together."
For more information, see the Piedmont Biofuels blog (http://biofuels.coop/index.php), the National Biodiesel Board's Web site (www.biodiesel.org), or Blue Ridge Biofuels' Web site (www.blueridgebiofuels.com).
Rust could unhinge oil
At the moment, the American biodiesel movement's wagon is hitched to a staple of U.S. agribusiness, the soybean. But a rapidly spreading plant disease, Asiatic soybean rust, may force biodiesel producers to turn to other oil-rich crops.
The damaging fungus was first detected stateside in Louisiana last fall, and its spores could blow into North Carolina's fields this summer, N.C. State University plant researchers warned in a March 24 press release. The costly fungicide soy farmers may have to spray to stave off the blight would drive up the price of soy-based biodiesel, producers noted at the Land-of-Sky meeting. B20 biodiesel currently averages 13¢ a gallon more than petroleum diesel, but new federal tax credits are expected to offset this price differential.
There are plenty of agricultural alternatives to soy oil, however. The French biodiesel industry is built on rapeseed, and researchers in Colorado are studying oily varieties of mustard seed that can grow like weeds even on waste land. And speaking of weed, cannabis advocates argue that it's only the federal war on marijuana that hinders the seeds of hemp, its high-oil but no-high cousin, from regaining their former glory as a bountiful source of fuel.
Even ocean-grown algae could support a world biodiesel industry, according to renewable-energy researchers. But despite the wide variety of oil-producing plants and seeds provided by nature, a tough nut for the biodiesel industry to crack may be agribusiness's predilection for monoculture – growing vast fields of a single, profitable crop whose lack of biological diversity makes them catastrophically vulnerable to exotic diseases such as the new soybean rust.
Money flowing to new ideas in energy
Venture funding spikes to $445.1m
http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2006/08/26/money_flowing_to_new_ideas_in_ene...
By Robert Weisman, Globe Staff | August 26, 2006
With rising energy prices stoking demand for new technologies, venture capital firms are showering attention, and hundreds of millions of dollars, on a field investors have long ignored: alternative energy.
Start-ups working with solar, battery, hydrogen, wind, and fuel cell technologies raised $445.1 million in venture funds nationally in the first six months of this year, 56.1 percent more than the $285.2 million raised by such companies in all of 2005, according to figures newly compiled by the National Venture Capital Association trade group.
In New England, venture investments in alternative energy companies spiked to $87.9 million in the first half of 2006, six times more than the $13.5 million invested all of last year.
At today's higher energy prices, ``a lot of the things that didn't look economical in the past are starting to look more economical," said Jeff Andrews , a partner at Atlas Venture in Waltham who's been prowling for alternative energy investments.
Andrews said interest in the field has been heating up at venture firms across the country as soaring oil prices leave financially pinched businesses and consumers clamoring for alternatives. ``You don't have to look very far to see what the cost of energy is," he said.
Among the Massachusetts start-ups that have drawn venture funding are A123 Systems, a Watertown company that is pioneering a new kind of rechargeable lithium ion battery that would be more powerful and durable than the batteries that now power hybrid cars. The company raised $30 million in February -- the largest funding round so far in 2006 for an energy start-up in New England -- from a consortium of venture investors that includes North Bridge Venture Partners of Waltham and Silicon Valley powerhouse Sequoia Capital.
Earlier this year, A123's batteries entered the consumer market powering a new cordless line of Black & Decker's DeWalt power tools, such as hammer drills and circular saws. A123 executives are now talking to American and European automakers about incorporating the lithium ion batteries in new hybrid vehicles scheduled to be introduced between 2009 and 2011. ``I believe we have the right technology at the right time," said A123 cofounder Yet-Ming Chiang , a materials science professor who developed the tiny nanomaterials used in the batteries in his lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
At least some of the fervor for funding energy start-ups can be attributed to the souring of interest in other sectors of the economy.
``Venture capitalists have gone through a dry spell finding attractive investments in telecommunications and software," said Howard R. Berke , founder and chief executive of Konarka Technologies Inc., a Lowell company developing flexible plastic solar cells for use in everything from building materials to mobile phones. ``They see clean energy as a new focus area."
Solar energy companies like Konarka have been especially attractive to venture investors as the price of oil, natural gas, and electricity climbs. Konarka raised $20 million earlier this year from a funding group that includes Draper Fisher Jurvetson, one of two Silicon Valley firms, along with Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, that have set up venture funds investing exclusively in alternative energy.
While solar energy has been used as a power source for decades in relatively small numbers of homes and buildings, the technology may finally be ready for large-scale adoption, suggested Berke, who is also a director of the American Council on Renewable Energy, a trade association. ``I think we are at the tipping point," he said. ``The technology right now is more robust, the cost of fuel has been rising, and renewable energy is becoming cost competitive."
Another factor driving alternative energy demand, and heightening investor appetite, is the subsidies and incentives offered by governments in the United States, the European Union, Russia, Japan, and China. ``It's happening on a global basis," Berke said, ``and venture capitalists recognize that when they fund a company in the renewable energy space, they're funding companies that will have a global market."
Not all the energy start-ups are responding to jitters over high oil prices. Another cluster, including such companies as Lilliputian Systems of Wilmington, a maker of fuel cells embedded on silicon chips, is working to increase the power of devices like cellphone or handheld computers so their users can access videos or other broadband content. ``We enable power-hungry applications, and we have no shortage of customer interest," said Ken Lazarus , the Lilliputian chief executive.
Because most of the crop of new energy companies raising venture funds are still in the development stage, like Konarka, or just starting to line up customers, like A123, it's too soon to gauge how successful they'll be -- or whether their venture backers will be able to cash out profitably by selling the companies or taking them public.
Venture capital is the perfect funding model for such companies, because venture firms are willing to make riskier longer-term investments and lose money or break even on some as long as they realize big returns on others, said Travis Bradford , founder and president of the Prometheus Institute for Sustainable Development, a research firm in Cambridge and author of the book ``Solar Revolution: The Economic Transformation of the Global Energy Industry."
``A lot of venture capital is flowing into companies in this space, and not all of them are going to make money," Bradford said. ``But these are major new sources of energy. If a new generation of technology can bring their cost down further and gain rapid acceptance, these companies are going to be very valuable assets."

"I'm long and strong with FMNJ and not worried what's so ever. I will retire on this stock." -Tony777
i think that type of sentiment is a dangerous one in terms of performance on the market, especially the pinksheet market.
thinking that you will retire off a pinksheet stock or being "not worried whatsoever" are both sentiments of greed and/or stupidity in the stock market, not faith, nor confidence.
and i doubt im really on ignore, as i am sure your ego can barely stand what i might be saying about you, even as much as you claim to hate reading it.
"Again..ya da ya da ya da!!??"
i apologize. i will maintain a Fred Flintstone level of communication with you from now on. but isnt it yaba daba do, Barney?
please just put me on ignore and post something that is an example of what you would prefer to read.

Hello all ... new to the board, but highly interested (vested) in Franklin. I see nothing but upside to this stock. Too much going for it to go anywhere but up. IMO"
your not holding a satchel, are you Tony? your obviously beginning to panic about your investment. i suggest investing an amount of $$$ in pinksheets companies that you are more comfortable with losing. for your health. and mine. thanks.
americano you said-
"I see your point tony777, you have to remember, some people are leaning to a more sceptical side than perhaps you or me"
and i assume you meant the point Tony made to me?
i must be miscommunicating in a BIG way, because both of my previous posts were in my opinion all but bullish about this particular PPS that FMNJ is at.
when i said it had a 50/50 chance of holding the 200MA i simply meant it is anybodys guess, most likely dependant on if the objectives Petty outlined in his interview are met, and the time frame in which it happens.
you investors that have the cahones to have been holding an enormous percentage of your investment capital in FMNJ since March-May of this year or earlier all the way till now i do respect greatly for your patience, discipline(?), and faith, but i find that i do best when i "get it while the getting is good", for now, anyways.
you have got me all wrong, my friend, i am "nibbling" at some shares here myself.
riiiight.
my sentances do run on Tony777, i apologize.
what i said was that .01-.02 has proven to be a high interest area where people have bought and profited in the recent past. furthermore, a slide under the 200MA will meet with a significant area of previous buying pressure.
you said- "I believe in FMNJ to the max, but it pains me to read this stuff some times."
we are certainly not all perfect on this board. you are NOT doing us any favors by reading it either, so im not really sure why you dont stick to your own DD or post something that you think is worthwhile as an example for us to follow, as opposed to belly-aching about other people who are at least actually making an effort. so far you have posted nothing much more than the advise you repeated again in your post to me-
"The downside risk is so minimal and upside is huge!!" or "FMNJ will be close to $1.00 by years end." or "Could go above $5.00." or "Buy as much as you can NOW! Or be sorry later."
close to nothing else. that mostly constitutes SPAM to me. you seem to be a simple minded individual with simple investment ideas, which to some degree i can respect.
please just put me on ignore as i hate to think you are in such pain from laboring over my posts....

chances of falling below 200MA, imo, 50/50, of course :)
my guess is there is a lot riding on whether what was said in the interview with Mr. Petty materializes.(specifically for me it is the audited financials released by Sept.1, or at least a reason as to why not if it doesnt happen). maybe shareholders waiting to see Financials and Production materialize, as well as those buying in anticipation of that, will keep it afloat above the 200MA, (or at least 233MA...) :)
i can see by the "Price by Volume" histogram that in recent history a lot of shares were traded (bought) from .015 to .017ish, with many more (85/15) bought than sold. im not concerned that the most were purchased from .0009 to .008, as thats a pretty big range....
although i see your point that falling below .02 was perhaps disappointing to some investors.... it did not seem to create a landslide, or if it did only briefly, and furthermore, to me, i was thinking that psychologically.... this right around .02 range is where i have bought and made a buku % return twice already, before the big run into May Day and back through June and the first week of July. my psyche seems to be telling me that everytime i buy at this level i profit, granted this is a different beast than we saw in March or June.
i like to follow the 233MA for whatever (not likely brilliant) reason, maybe to avoid a shake out from being too prudent to the exact 200MA. it is at .0146 as of today, and that is where i will reconsider my position if it comes to it. of course it seems to me that it really took off after this broke .008ish back on April 1st, before i even owned shares :), so ill be looking to the 300-377MA if it comes to the nitty gritty, though at this moment i doubt it will-
for anyone new to Franklin Mining, new to this board, or just missed it-
here is a quick reference DD list, though certainly not complete.... board denizens, please feel free to copy/paste with any other good info/links/contacts/news, etc.... ie, update or add to the list and repost, thanks-

ahhh, now thats the good ole' 20% spread i remember loving Franklin for...LOL. somehow all this rodeo sideshow action with the MMs is comforting, imo. kinda like how bad attention is good attention when your a rockstar!
besides, i know ya'll hate me for it, but those spreads were making for great flips a month ago...
ok, im getting a little loose in the lips, im zippin' her up... :)
sweet.
this stock seems to find support when people like you come in making wildly false assumptions and assertions....
i noticed you were born the day before may day, any chance you are an upset satchel holder my friend?
isnt he always... :) did you ever second guess him? :)
he is one intuitive, intelligent, prudent investor in my book-
when he speaks, the market listens... LOL... j/k....
804,170 shares purchased at the .019 ask, or $15,279... all in one hour, four minutes, and 2 seconds... and yet no push higher... in fact, we fell. as others have suggested, somebody is selling hella' shares through UBSS/NITE, whatever....
I'm long here, but the above calculation concerns me.... IMO, a shakedown here below .018 could be worth buying a few shares at, with the financials supposedly waiting in the wings-
anybody willing to weather a guess at who might be dumping? the company, financiers, stockguru? :) i hope its for the funding to build that processing plant...

MEGA MINING PROJECTS GENERATED 11 THOUSAND USES
http://www.lapatriaenlinea.com/content/view/6304/40/
• Companies of the medium mining and other that are not in this association, but in present process of consolidation in the department of Potosí, could generate near 11 thousand direct and indirect uses in the future immediate.
The mining projects that are in process of consolidation in the Department of Potosí, on the part of companies associated to the ANMM and by other than do not belong to our grouping will create more than 11 thousand uses in the present period and its phase of consolidation according to the data of the same organizations.
The project San Bartholomew will be faced by the Manquiri Company and has predicted to invest to 135 million dollars for the operation of the tails and clearings of the Hill Rico and the pallacos that are in their proximities.
The project will start in the next days with the construction of the plant and in that phase of assembly 1200 direct uses and 1800 indirect ones will be created, according to the report of the representative of Manquiri, Omar Manzano. The Miner San Cristóbal is in charge of the stage of assembly of the plant that will treat zinc, lead and silver.
The investment in the project San Cristóbal is of 800 million dollars and in the present stage 3000 uses are being generated direct and 3200 indirect ones, although cuestionamientos to the people contract exist who is not potosina.
The plant of Karachipampa will be able to work to the aim through the company Atlas Precious Metals that it has predicted to invest 102,3 million dollars generating in the first 500 direct uses and one superior amount of indirect works.
The south wind-Canadian company Luzón Minerals announced that from the next year the gold production will begin in the deposit of Amayapampa for which has predicted an investment of 30 million dollars.
BY CONTRACTS OF DEPOSITS
Monday 14 of August of the year 2006 Potosí - Bolivia
http://www.elpotosi.net/2006/0814/p__14.html
Resources of Comibol
they must be for Potosí
The Comibol receives every year 10 million dollars to rent
the goods that are in the Department, thus arise
order from which that money benefits the citizens of Potosí
The resources that the Mining Corporation of Bolivia (Comibol) receives by contracts of rent of deposits and shared risks must benefit to the municipalities where they are the mining resources, according to it was analyzed in one recent meeting of the Parliamentary Brigade Potosina.
In the opportunity the councilwoman Mirtha Guzmán commented that the municipality of Potosí annually receives like 90 thousand Bolivians by the mining concessions of the Hill Rico de Potosí; nevertheless, the Comibol accedes to 500 times more of that sum by the rent rate from the caverns to the mining cooperatives.
The councilwoman solicitd that the Parliamentary Brigade consolidates the necessary actions so that the resources that are generated in the region by mining properties benefit not thus to the municipalities and to the Comibol.
She knows herself that the money the potosinos mining deposits as Porco only serves to get fat to the bureaucracy of the mentioned mining national organization.
On the other hand, the deputy of the Movement To the Socialism (MAS), Jose Pimentel, indicated that the Comibol receives about 10 million dollars per year through renting contracts and programs of shared risk.
It indicated that the potosinos must define what is what they want of the mining: if they look for the money that the Comibol receives or that the mining national organization can enter to the phase of the prospection and development of mining projects in all the national territory.
In any case, the criterion exists that the Comibol cannot continue obtaining millionaire income for its bureaucracy when the rented deposits are in our Department.
On the other hand, the Prefect of the Department, Mario Virreira, indicated that at the moment he does not know himself how many potosinos deposits has rented the Comibol because information exist that give account of the consolidation of new contracts with individuals due to the high quotations of minerals.
One says that in fact nobody knows how many potosinos deposits have rented the Comibol in the Department of Potosí then at the present time exist operations like those of Colavi.

whatever......
" it did wonders for AURC...that sure was a nice run!"
you are truly naive to think that what worked for one stock is a "sure shot" to work for another. if it was only that simple.....
wow, you really will say anything to avoid taking responsibility for your pumping...
its one of my girlfriends favorite tactics-
when you get caught talking some BS- divert attention, change the subject, ignore the questions, just say anything to avoid taking responsibility for your BS.....
so pumper0, what'll be a sure shot tomorrow?
right.... ???
you will just say anything, huh?
"you get a pr on a geologist report, now wouldn't you think that is a sure shot" -
no, i certainly would not.
and the PR for geo report came out today, you were pumping it as a "sure shot" yesterday....
what do you mean questions?
yesterday at BBs Haven you said it was a "sure shot"...
