  Travelers did provide a bond in this case, and that bond is still in existence. Now that the court had ruled against the WTBTS, Travelers will soon be collecting $86K in bond premium from the WTBTS.

  Travelers isn't stupid. The way this works is, they sign a document, agreeing to be liable for the entire amount of the judgment. They then cover their risk by taking collateral from the party who wants the bond, so in this case, Travelers is likely to have taken WTBTS real estate as collateral already. Unless the WTBTS fails to pay upon the disposition of the appeal in Conti's favor, Travelers will never have to pay anything out. And if they do have to pay something out, they will be selling WTBTS real estate to cover whatever amount they had to pay.

  Emails to Travelers would be a waste of time. They will have no effect on this situation.

  The good news about this is it will put more pressure on the WTBTS to settle up with Conti; $86K/year of bond premium is now added to almost $100k/month of post-judgment interest that is accruing on the judgment ($11M judgment @10% interest per annum).

  Great news!!!!!

  Today, the Alameda County Court issued its ruling on the motion by the WTBTS to: [1] substitute the Patterson property as collateral instead of the appeal bond that is costing the WTBTS about $86K/year; or [2] to reduce the required amount of the appeal bond.

  The Court's decision was to deny the motion in its entirety, because the law simply does not allow what the WTBTS was requesting.

  The decision was proper and the WTBTS cannot appeal it. They do have other alternatives, but given the realities of this case, they will have to accept the Court's decision on this as final.

  Cheers to Ms. Conti and her lawyers!!!!!

  When You Were Sitting During The Meetings What Were You Really Thinkng About?

  i used to listen to all the stupid comments and wonder if i could sneak out of there and scram!

  even after i resigned as an elder, i went for a while and eventually began missing more and more meetings.

  but while i was there, i'd listen to comments, chuckle to myself how dumb it all was and then go home with the knowledge that my days were numbered there..

  Seriously!!!!!

  I had it all figured out. I had cut out pictures from Playboy and Penthouse magazines that my neighborhood friends and I found in someone's trash can on trash day. The pictures were pasted into certain pages of my bible, and I used to view this stuff, in the hall, when I was sure that no one was looking.

  How do you keep your hopes up while in this doomed existence?

  coming from aguest's thread where she showed us the article that describes a "brain drain" that has been occuring for centuries do to "mutations" i can't help but be a little fed up with how much negativity comes from the land of science.

  sure, facts are facts and they do not set out to sound good or bad, but instead of identifying the problems of doom, like our brains are devolving, why not focus on the solutions to those problems?

  where are the hopes and dreams that our culture so desperately holds onto which actually provides the drive to progress towards them.

  You can choose to be positive about life, or you can choose to be negative, but irrespective of that choice, life is short. Your dirt nap will be reality sooner than you might realize . . .

  I won't miss them. I don't buy any of their products, ever. My body is a temple, not a toxic waste dump.

  Their brands and recipes will be bought up as part of the bankruptcy case. There is value to those brands, so I'm confident that some company will buy them. But Hostess will in fact be gone, along with its jobs.

  Unions are important for the health of our nation, but when they take things too far, they can end up slitting their own throats.

  a major tv production company seeking young adults struggling with their religion.

  an emmy-winning television production company is seeking young adults (late teens - mid 20s) who are questioning, struggling with, or rebelling against their religious upbringings.

  are you thinking of changing your religion to marry your one true love?

  Scott,

  I've watched a documentary on GSP and found him to be articulate. Following his win in his rematch with Matt Serra (Matt Serra knocked him out in their prior fight), which was hyped with insults to French Canadians (re: their wine and other stuff), he begged those in attendance (the fight was held in Montreal) to treat Matt Serra well, that Serra's pre-fight insults to French Canadians were things both fighters were told by UFC brass to say to hype the fight, and that he is friends with Matt Serra and wants no harm to come to him. In my book, that was a classy move. He is also a very articulate guy who speaks as if he has a brain (i.e., the opposite of most UFC fighters), as demonstrated in the documentary I watched.

  I hope he stops fighting at the right time; i.e., before his brain is damaged from head trauma.

  GSP is an incredible fighter, and a classy guy with some smarts too, which makes him a bit odd in the field of professional fighting.

  Ordinarily, I would bet on GSP without even thinking about it. He is, pound for pound, one of the best UFC fighters ever. But GSP was injured and as a result, has not fought in quite some time. His "ring rust" might make him vulnerable . . .
