Gave up? What ever happened to patience? They have been trading sideways for a long time, but that is usually a great thing if they company is making headway. The capital structure has been static since the beginning of the year. They have been adding contracts all through the year that are in the process of implementation. These contracts, like today's are strategic in order to lead to much bigger revenue.
The plan for 2007 is more contracts, AF's, move to OTC, and then a reduction of the o/s through the retirement of restricted shares held be management.
LBWR should be treated more like a small cap than a nano, in that they should be held and accumulated like a true long hold.
LBWR - I gave up covering them....steady loser IMO.
Dexter picks the companies they sign for a reason. Wonder what it could be here?
BTW, Inch, please do not buy any LBWR anytime soon.

A board for birds that "show their feathers"
What the heck is this? ~~> http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=14302071
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a company that would let the people who invest their hard earned money know what is going on! A CEO who would love to answer any questions you might have! A Transfer Agent who when asked what the Share Structure is replies "My Pleasure"! Let's face it... Most Pinksheet stocks are scams but there are some that might actually be legit. We will try our best to find the ones that are and who knows...Maybe we find our ticket to paradise along the way.
The New and Improved...
Transparent...Easily seen through or detected;obvious
Flamingo...Large pink to scarlet web-footed wading bird with down-bent bill; pinksheet stock
Disclaimer The members of this board do not recommend that you buy, sell, or hold any of the stocks listed on this board.
Flamingos (the bird), in their natural habitat, face many dangers(alligators, sharks, snakes, etc.)....Flamingos (pinksheet stocks) also face many dangers that are beyond our control (halts, scams, bankruptcy, reverse splits, corruption, inept products, inept CEO's, loan sharks, etc).
Transparent Flamingo Rules - this is the standard in order to be considered for the list.

Pink Sheets - Stop Signs, Skulls, Crossbones and New Directions
Investor Information
November 7 2006
Labels can be tricky. We abhor labels when they unfairly pigeonhole people or ideas, or perpetuate unacceptable stereotypes. On the hand, we applaud them when they alert the public to questionable conduct or outright impropriety.
With that in mind, let us have a round of applause for Pink Sheets. Earlier this week, Pink Sheets announced the introduction of new, user-friendly categories for companies traded on its Electronic Interdealer Quotation and Trading System. The new system aims to reward transparency – the ability of investors to obtain timely, material information about public companies. So, beginning in May 2007, Pink Sheets will group companies based upon their substance and their level of public disclosure.
Top ranking will be awarded to those public companies that provide the clearest picture to the public. Companies that have substantial operating businesses and provide credible disclosure will be rewarded with a place on the highest tier - OTCQX, which will commence trading in January 2007. OTCQX companies will publish quarterly and annual reports, provide audited annual financial statements, provide information on management, and disclose material events. Management will be required to certify company reports. See, The Pink Sheets - A New Sheriff in Town.
Those companies that do not qualify for OTCQX status, or that choose not to comply with the requisite standards, will be placed in one of the following categories – listed in descending order:
Emerging Equities List. These companies provide credible disclosure, including GAAP audited financials, but may not have sufficient business operations to qualify for OTCQX. A company seeking to be included on the Emerging Equities List must provide a letter from an attorney concerning the quality of its disclosure. An Emerging Equity List logo will be placed next to the stock symbol of a qualifying company.
SEC Current. Companies qualify for this tier if they file current reports, including financial statements, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Delinquent filers will likely lose this status. Pink Sheets plans to track filings made through the SEC's EDGAR system and automatically categorize a company based on its filing status.
Adequate Current Information. Companies in this category provide a decidedly lesser degree of disclosure. These companies will not be required to file current audited financial statements, but they will need to provide a letter from an attorney regarding the completeness of their disclosure. Federal or state regulated banks, insurance companies and companies listed on non-U.S. stock exchanges will only need to supply the information they file with their primary regulator in English and will not be required to provide an attorney letter.
Limited Information Available. This label will be applied to companies that have posted "some" information with Pink Sheets or the SEC's EDGAR System in the past six months – even if it is not current. Pink Sheets will post a yield sign next to the stock symbols of these companies – a warning to investors to proceed with caution.
Public Interest Concern. Pink Sheets takes a dim view of companies that are touted through unsolicited spam or questionable promotions. Those companies, and others that raise public interest concerns, probably would welcome a yield sign. Instead, they will have a "skull and crossbones" icon displayed by their stock symbol. If there is no current information available for a company that is the subject of unsolicited spam, quotes for the stock will also be blocked on pinksheets.com.
No Information. The last, and lowest tier, is reserved for all other Pink Sheets stocks. A stop sign will be displayed next to the symbols of these companies.
With almost 5,000 companies quoted on Pink Sheets, investors can use all of the guidance they can get. The new multi-tiered system promises to provide guideposts that even a novice can follow: think twice, and then again, before sipping from the bottle with a skull & crossbones label; proceed with caution when a yield sign appears; and simply stop when no information warrants an investment.
Investors should be able to read the signs clearly now.

Northamerican Energy to Acquire Additional Leases
HOUSTON, Nov. 8, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Northamerican Energy Group Corporation (Pink Sheets:NNYG) announced today that it has reached an understanding to acquire and assume additional leases in the Permian Basin as part of an overall agreement with a company that works closely with Northamerican on its current lease holdings.
These properties contain a number of inactive gas and oil wells in shallow (1500'-4300') oil and gas fields located on non-contiguous acreage and leases in Pecos County, Texas. These properties are in a mature, existing field, and these leases were developed and operated until they became inactive in the past 10-15 years when oil and gas prices did not support their continuing operation.
"These leases and their wells are low-cost, low-risk, primary production properties in need of work over using numerous types of both new and proven oil field technology. These properties fit perfectly into Northamerican's strategy of acquiring economically viable leases that will return investment and workover costs quickly resulting in positive cash flow for the company within 12 months and are extremely pleased that these leases will enable us to continue in our program to acquire these types of properties," stated Jon Ginder, Northamerican Energy Group's CEO.
Northamerican Energy Group has developed a proven growth strategy of identification, acquisition, and development of domestic hydrocarbon reserves. The Company will concentrate on acquiring prospects, which are and have proven oil and gas production which has been operating for many, many years. By acquiring working interests in proven low-risk fields, the Company minimizes the risk by not "wildcatting or drilling dry-holes" and incurring any expense of building major infrastructure to get the product to market. Finally, the Company's low-cost operations and low overhead structure allows the Company to maximize the income and revenue from each production lease.
Safe Harbor Provisions
Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This release includes forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the impact of competitive products, the ability to meet customer demand, the ability to manage growth, acquisitions of technology, equipment, or human resources, the effect of economic and business conditions, and the ability to attract and retain skilled personnel. The Company is not obligated to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this release.

Pinksheets and delinquent filers:
New York, NY - November 6, 2006 - Pink Sheets, LLC today announced the introduction of new categories for the companies traded on the Pink Sheets Electronic Interdealer Quotation and Trading System. The decision to start categorizing each security traded on the Pink Sheets is a move to provide more transparency to investors on the ability and willingness of issuers to provide adequate public disclosure in a credible and timely manner. Pink Sheets is a quotation and trading venue that does not have minimum disclosure standards. Trading is driven by OTC market demand rather than the traditional exchange listing process. Therefore, categorizing securities by their level of disclosure will greatly enhance the capital formation process. The categories are based on the level, quality and timeliness of a company's disclosure. The initiative is similar to the various markets that NASDAQ uses to classify companies as well as the identifiers that NASDAQ and NYSE use to label companies that are late or delinquent in disclosure. Pink Sheets will implement the new categories on May 1, 2007.
Companies that have substantial operating businesses and provide credible disclosure to the public qualify for the premium tier OTCQX, which commences trading on January 2007. For more information on OTCQX, please see our website at www.otcqx.com. Approximately 20% of the current Pink Sheets or OTC Bulletin Board traded companies could qualify for an OTCQX listing. All Pink Sheets quoted securities of issuers that are not able or willing to meet the high standards of OTCQX will be placed in one of the following categories and labeled as such on www.pinksheets.com effective May 1, 2007:
Emerging Equities List represents companies that provide credible disclosure, including GAAP audited financials, but may not have sufficient business operations to qualify for OTCQX. To qualify for this category, companies are required to provide a letter from an attorney regarding the quality of their disclosure. These companies will have an Emerging Equity List logo next to their symbol.
SEC Current indicates that the companies are SEC reporting and current in their financial reporting. Pink Sheets will track filings made through the SEC's EDGAR system and automatically categorize a company based on their filing status.
Adequate Current Information indicates companies that conform to Pink Sheets Guidelines for Providing Adequate Current Information. An audit is not required, but a letter from an attorney regarding the completeness of disclosure is required. Federal or state regulated banks, insurance companies and companies listed on non-U.S. stock exchanges will only need to supply the information they file with their primary regulator in English and will not be required to provide an attorney letter.
Limited Information Available applies to companies with some information posted in the last six months, either through the SEC's EDGAR system or the Pink Sheets News Service, but may not be current or complete. A yield sign will be displayed next to the symbol.
Public Interest Concern is for stocks with unsolicited spam, questionable promotion or other public-interest concerns. A Skull and Crossbones icon will be displayed next to the symbol. If there is no current information available for a company that is the subject of unsolicited spam, their quotes will also be blocked on pinksheets.com.
No Information is for all other Pink Sheets stocks. A stop sign will be displayed next to the symbol.
The companies that wish to be designated as OTCQX or Emerging Equities List companies are required to submit an application as they will be agreeing to provide a minimum level of disclosure. Adequate Current Information and Limited Information Available require non-SEC-reporting issuers to subscribe to the Pink Sheets News Service to make the information publicly available.
"The creation of the OTCQX and the forthcoming Pink Sheets categories are the next step in our continuing efforts to improve the Pink Sheets trading environment," commented Cromwell Coulson, Chairman and CEO of Pink Sheets. "We have transformed the Pink Sheets from a nearly dormant paper-based quotation service to a fully integrated electronic quotation, trading and disclosure system with almost $25 billion in volume of trading in the first quarter of this year and market maker participation from 200 of the largest securities firms in the world. Because of our highly efficient trading platform, over 90% of inter-dealer trading in OTC Bulletin Board securities now trades through our systems. In addition, we have given issuers the ability to communicate with the investment public through our website, pinksheets.com, which registers over 100 million page views from investors each month."
Additional efforts to enhance transparency and investor confidence include successfully persuading the NASD to require its members to include Pink Sheets and OTC Bulletin Board securities in the monthly short-interest reports. Pink Sheets has also petitioned the SEC to create rules that would expose illegal promotion activities such as spam e-mails that can tarnish the reputation of good companies and diminish the price of their stock.
"Companies are known by the company they keep, and we hope that in providing these new categories, companies that provide disclosure to the public will clearly stand apart from those companies that are of lesser quality," concluded Mr. Coulson.

~~~~~~~~> DANGER! You are in the Everglades! DANGER <~~~~~~~~
Let's face it....flamingos (the bird), in their natural habitat, face many dangers (alligators, sharks, snakes, etc.)....flamingos (pinksheet stocks) also face many dangers that are beyond our control (halts, scams, bankruptcy, reverse splits, corruption, inept products, inept CEO's, loan sharks, etc). The purpose of the Transparent Flamingo list is NOT to endorse or imply that any stock on the list is a good investment. All that the list is designed to do, is identify pinksheet companies(flamingos) that have management that is willing to let investors view ALL of their share structure(Transparency). The share structure data (A/S, O/S, and float) are best when obtained from the transfer agent, but a concession may be made if they have filed two current reports on pinksheets.com (rare exceptions may be made if they have filed a 15c2-11 Information Statement AND have a IR guy).
When a flamingo offers for us to "view her feathers", we consider it the first act of good will, and perhaps the opportunity to form a true partnership. This transparency is, by no means, a guarantee that a company is legitimate, or acting in the best interest of it's shareholders(think Enron). Each investor, through their own due diligence, must consult with their conscious/intuition/imagination/experience when making a decision to buy a stock. We just believe that the only way to determine if an investment is shrewd is to be able to see the share structure.....any thing else and I might as well buy lotto tickets.

You know what we need? A paradigm shift. We need to all refuse to put money into any stock that doesn't use a TA that allows FULL DISCLOSER of share structure. In the realm of the pinks it is, IMVHO, the single most important means of protecting our investment that we have. Take it away and we are totally in the dark. Knowing the share structure helps us know when a R/S is coming and also we can do like I did today and see if management is timing fluff PR's to a insane rate of dilution.
If we all decided not to put anymore money in blacked-out pinks(dirty birds) then they would have to play fair. It would also reward those that were transparent pinks. I need an outlet...

It May Be Curtains for Pink Flamingo
Sunday October 29, 2:36 pm ET
By Mark Jewell, AP Business Writer
AP Centerpiece: Factory Closing May Signal Extinction for Original Pink Flamingo
LEOMINSTER, Mass. (AP) -- The day Mayor Dean Mazzarella turned 40, he got a surprise.
"After I woke up and went out for my morning run, I came back and there were 40 pink flamingos in my front lawn," Mazzarella recalled. "Someone had put them there as a joke."
Now that he's 49 -- "the same age as the pink flamingo," he notes -- he hopes both he and the iconic lawn ornament that his city claims as its own will still be around next year to celebrate 50.
But the original version of the plastic flamingo may be singing its swan song after inspiring countless pranks -- and being alternately celebrated as a tribute to one of nature's most graceful creatures and derided as the epitome of American pop culture kitsch.
Union Products Inc. stopped producing flamingos and other lawn ornaments at its Leominster factory in June, and is going out of business Nov. 1 -- a victim of rising expenses for plastic resin and electricity, as well financing problems.
The small privately held firm has been in talks with a pair of rival lawn ornament makers interested in buying the molds and resuming production of the flamingos, designed in 1957 by local son Don Featherstone.
"We think the flamingo will go on," Keith Marshall, Union Products' chief financial officer, said at the company's aging brick factory, where just a few years ago more than 100 employees churned out flamingos by the millions.
Just a couple workers were still around to wrap up business. At the front desk stood a lone flamingo with the words "Happy 50th birthday" written with a black marker on the side, symbolizing hope that the flamingo will rise phoenix-like from the ashes to be reborn.
Other companies' knockoff versions of the Featherstone original remain in production. But the uncertainty surrounding the original has aficionados of kitsch snapping up what they can via the online auction site eBay and elsewhere in case Featherstone versions go out of stock for good.
Mike Smollon, a firefighter who sees plenty of plastic flamingos in his Boynton Beach, Fla., neighborhood, traveled to Leominster to attend a wedding last month and was surprised to learn the city about 50 miles northwest of Boston is home of the original flamingo.
"I guess it never dawned on me that pink flamingos would be made anywhere else than Florida," the 55-year-old said.
Smollon had never owned flamingos before. But, on learning of Union Products' demise, he was inspired to drop by the factory and buy a dozen pairs -- $15 per pair for regular pink ones, and $25 for gold-colored special issue flamingos commemorating the bird's upcoming 50th birthday.
"This could be the end of them, and I wanted to get some," he said.
Smollon shipped the flock home and gave most of the birds to friends. He kept the most valuable ones for himself -- those he had autographed by Featherstone during a visit to the retiree's home in Fitchburg, just down the road from Leominster.
Featherstone, who wrote a 1999 book about his creation called "Pink Flamingos: Splendor on the Grass," studied art before Union Products hired him in 1956 to expand a line of lawn ornaments that consisted of two-dimensional renderings of animals. Featherstone sculpted his 3-D flamingos from clay, working from photos of the birds in National Geographic.
The birds typically sell at around $10 for boxed sets of two -- one standing nearly 3 feet high with its head held proudly erect, the other bending over as if munching on grass. Their legs consist of spindly metal rods that can be planted in the ground. The Featherstone originals have their creator's signature etched into the bird's plastic rear end.
The ornaments hit the market in the late 1950s when the color pink was in vogue, and America's exploding population of suburbanites sought to add flair to their lawns, said Kevin McCarthy, a retired University of Florida professor and author of several books on Florida's history and culture.
Meanwhile, the state's population was booming, and its tropical mystique rubbed off on the rest of America.
"The flamingo is an icon of Florida, and harkens back to a past when there were wild flamingos in large numbers in south Florida," McCarthy said.
But the birds also came to symbolize bad taste. They became the namesake of the 1972 John Waters film "Pink Flamingos," an epic to excess that celebrated a wide range of perversions. Some residential developments even banned flamingo ornaments from lawns.
The bird also became a target of pranksters, some of whom swiped the ornaments from front yards, took them on the road, and then sent photos to their owners showing the kidnapped birds in front of sights like Paris' Eiffel Tower.
The pink flamingo enjoyed a resurgence in the 1980s with the popularity of the television police show "Miami Vice," whose opening credits featured images of real birds. Today, the flamingo image is found on everything from doormats to swizzle sticks to roadside motel signs.
Featherstone originals remain a top seller in the gift shop at the National Plastics Center, a museum in Leominster that tells the story of the plastics industry both locally and internationally, including the pink flamingo.
"What started out as a fun fad turned into the ultimate in tacky, and evolved into kitsch art on your front lawn," said Marjorie Weiner, the museum's outreach coordinator. "You really can't help but smile when you look at them, and giggle, because they're funny."
Whatever the Featherstone flamingo's fate, Leominster's mayor plans to hold a party celebrating the creation's 50th birthday next June on the Town Common, which he hopes to fill with flamingos. Mazzarella said his city of 46,000 has purchased the rights to the Internet domain name http://www.flamingocity.net in hopes of capitalizing on its legacy.
"I don't think the pink flamingo is dead at all," said the mayor of the city. "But whatever happens, he was born here -- that can't be taken away from us."
