Forward-Looking Statements
that is the same type responses AURC Ihubbers always got from the moderator 2create, who turned out to be a hustling insider. Maybe you are him, maybe not, but the idea that we are going to receive great news but you withhold any evidence is circumspect at best and reminds me of the AURC/2create games.
Next time someone talks to Sam please ask if there has been any further developements with Petroluxus?
Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. and Strat Petroleum, Ltd. Enter into LOI to Remediate Oil Sludge in the Russian Federation
HOUSTON, Jun 06, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. (PINK SHEETS:PRRY), developer, manufacturer and marketer of the PetroLuxus™ family of products, announced today that it has entered into a Letter of Intent with Strat Petroleum, Ltd. (PINK SHEETS:SPRL) to negotiate a contract for the deployment of PetroLuxus™ and proprietary processing technology in the Russia Federation. The goal of this collaboration is to tap into the hundreds of millions barrels of oil sludge waste throughout the Russian Federation and cost-effectively and expediently process the oil sludge waste into a saleable product.
Planet Resource Recovery's development of its environmentally friendly chemicals PetroLuxus™ family of products for the oil & gas industry is exceptionally well suited to address the problems associated with oil sludge remediation. Oil sludge treated with PetroLuxus™ breaks the interfacial tension between oil and the material such as sand, clay, water it is adhered to resulting in a stratification of materials by specific gravity. The stratification of material provides for an easy, efficient recovery of the oil. Planet Resource Recovery, Inc will develop a proprietary portable processing plant for the remediation of oil sludge in the Russian Federation that will be licensed.
Strat Petroleum, Ltd. is negotiating the rights to process significant quantities of oil sludge close to refineries and is looking for a technology that would allow it to process much larger quantities per day. The utilization of PetroLuxus™ in its proprietary processing plant is anticipated to result in processing capacity of approximately 3700 bbls per day, compared to current capacity of 300 bbls per week.
Mr. Sam Hyams, CEO of Strat Petroleum, Ltd., stated, "After visiting Planet Resource Recovery's facilities in Pearland and witnessing the speed and effectiveness of PetroLuxus(TM), we were impressed. We are extremely motivated to work with Planet Resource Recovery to deploy this cutting-edge technology in the Russian Federation. A working installation using PetroLuxus(TM) in Russia will open the door for Strat Petroleum to the hundreds of millions of barrels of oil sludge for processing while simultaneously cleaning up the environment - this is a win-win situation for all involved."

Trophy Resources to Reopen Oil Well, Rework Contract
Thursday July 26, 9:52 am ET
CLEVELAND, OH--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 26, 2007 -- Trophy Resources, Inc. (Other OTC:TRSI.PK - News) announces they have begun the process of reopening their O&G holdings in Runnells County, Texas.
ADVERTISEMENT
Trophy and their operating partner, IRA Oil and Gas of Addison (Dallas), TX (IRA) have worked through their management issues that stalled this project just prior to the end of 2006 and have scheduled the repair of the initial producing well on the site as well as commencing rework of the two additional wells as was originally planned for 2006.
"We are please to get this project back on track. With over 600,000 barrels of oil in the estimated reserve and oil currently trading at over $74.00/bbl, we should be able to quickly realize capital income from this project," said Eric Leonetti, Trophy President/CEO. "This should be accomplished by bringing the initial well back on line, achieving the average 18 bbl/day production it was producing and adding the two additional wells for which we have similar expectations."
The plans call for the formerly producing initial well to be back on line in the next three weeks, followed by the rework of the second and third wells prior to the end of September. This time table anticipates acceptable weather in Texas and the ability to get the equipment on site.
This project offers a unique opportunity to take advantage of re-completion and redevelopment technologies that are now main stream. Trophy plans to continue their association with IRA to further explore opportunities in the Bend Arch, Ft. Worth and Permian Basins.
Trophy Resources assesses all projects on the basis of defined investment criteria including the preservation of capital and mitigation of risk.

I noticed on the new Pinksheets website it says HKBV is "piggyback qualified". I emailed pinksheets as to what that meant and here is the reply
This comes from the glossary on pinksheets.com:
Piggy-Back Rule
A "piggyback qualified" security is one that meets the
frequency-of-quotation requirement described in SEC Rule
15c2-11(f)(3). The
frequency-of-quotation test or "piggyback" exception is based on
whether a
broker/dealer has itself published quotations in the security in
the
applicable interdealer quotation system on at least 12 business
days during
the preceding 30 calendar days, with not more than four
consecutive business
days without quotations. Once this criteria has been satisfied,
authorized
participants may register on-line in a security. As long as the
security
remains piggyback qualified, any participant may quote the
security without
a Form 211 submission.
If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

OT: Michael Vick
Here is the actual federal indictment
http://www.hsus.org/web-files/PDF/animal_fighting/vick_indictment.pdf
I think he is cooked as there are 4 cooperating witness that include Vick actually personally paying off the bets on the dog fights. Lots of interstate traffic as well. Unfortunately the maximum sentence is only 6 years, but then there is the forfeiture of the property. For those that don't know, only in Georgia and another state I can't remember now is it legal to attend and watch a dog fight, but either felony or misdemeanor in 48 states.
I was shocked when this first came out that on the NFL Network, Clinton Portis of the Washington Redskins, defended Vick and dogfighting saying it was a sport and on private property and what was the big deal as he could take anyone to a number of fights around Laurel, MS....another scumbag.

FWIW: Etrade starts their global trading unit and I funded it today. Previously, you had to buy the pinksheet equivalent which may lack volume compared to canadian counterpart for instance. Doesn't include AU, but has Euro, Can, Japan, Hong Kong and British Pound. You have to convert your US$ to currency of stock so I am sure you are paying an exchange fee. If you are an etrade customer you can open this additional acct online and it is linked to your others. Otherwise you have to mail in an app. with original signature. The problem is you have to fund it independently, you cannot transfer your brokerage acct into it and you can't do an IRA or Roth or Margin
Black Robbers
For anyone who didn't see David Letterman's take on this: (And it's a true story...) On a recent weekend in Atlantic City , a woman won a bucketful of quarters at a slot machine. She took a break from the slots for dinner with her husband in the hotel dining room. But first she wanted to stash the quarters in her room. "I'll be right back and we'll go to eat," she told her husband and carried the coin-laden bucket to the elevator.
As she was about to walk into the elevator she noticed two men already aboard. Both were black. One of them was tall...very tall...an intimidating figure.
The woman froze. Her first thought was: "These two are going to rob me."
Her next thought was: "Don't be a bigot; they look like perfectly nice gentlemen."
But racial stereotypes are powerful, and fear immobilized her. She stood and stared at the two men. She felt anxious, flustered and ashamed. She hoped they didn't read her mind but gosh, they had to know what she was thinking!!!
Her hesitation about joining them in the elevator was all too obvious now. Her face was flushed. She couldn't just stand there, so with a mighty effort of will she picked up one foot and stepped forward and followed with the other foot and was on the elevator. Avoiding eye contact, she turned around stiffly and faced the elevator doors as they closed. A second passed, and then another second, and then another.
Her fear increased! The elevator didn't move. Panic consumed her. "My God," she thought, I'm trapped and about to be robbed! "Her heart plummeted. Perspiration poured from every pore.
Then one of the men said, "Hit the floor." Instinct told her to do what they told her. The bucket of quarters flew upwards as she threw out her arms and collapsed on the elevator floor. A shower of coins rained down on her. Take my money and spare
me, she prayed. More seconds passed. She heard one of the men say politely,
"Ma'am, if you'll just tell us what floor you're going to, we'll push the button." The one who said it had a little trouble getting the words out. He was trying mightily to hold in a belly laugh. The woman lifted her head and looked up at the two men. They reached down to help her up. Confused, she struggled to her feet. "When I told my friend here to hit the floor," said the average sized one, "I meant that he should
hit the elevator button for our floor. I didn't mean for you to hit the floor, ma'am." He spoke genially. He bit his lip. It was obvious he was having a hard time not laughing.
The woman thought: "My God, what a spectacle I've made of myself." She was too humiliated to speak. She wanted to blurt out an apology, but words failed her. How do you apologize to two perfectly respectable gentlemen for behaving as though
they were going to rob you? She didn't know what to say. The three of them gathered up the strewn quarters and refilled her bucket. When the elevator arrived at her floor they then insisted on walking her to her room. She seemed a little unsteady on her feet, and they were afraid she might not make it down the corridor. At her door they bid her a good evening. As she slipped into her room she could hear them roaring with laughter as they walked back to the elevator. The woman brushed herself off.
She pulled herself together and went downstairs for dinner with her husband.
The next morning flowers were delivered to her room - a dozen roses.
Attached to EACH rose was a crisp one hundred dollar bill.
The card said: "Thanks for the best laugh we've had in years."
It was signed;
Eddie Murphy
Michael Jordan

Can anyone explain how KTEL can do a 5000x1 RS and a 1x5000 FS both effective July 18. New symbol today is KTIL. Never seen that before. A good way to reduce previous shareholders, benefit the new and keep same share structure?
A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials
in ages!!! It explains things better than all
the baloney you hear on TV.
Her point:
Recently large demonstrations have taken place
across the country protesting the fact that Congress
is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.
Certain people are angry that
the US might protect its own
borders, might make it harder
to sneak into this country and,
once here, to stay indefinitely.
Let me see if I correctly understand
the thinking behind these protests.
Let's say I break into your house.
Let's say that when you discover
me in your house, you insist that I leave.
But I say, "I've made all
the beds and washed the
dishes and did the laundry
and swept the floors. I've
done all the things you don't
like to do. I'm hard-working
and honest
(except for when I broke into your house) .
According to the protesters:
You are Required to let me stay in your house
You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan
You are Required to Educate my kids
You are Required to Provide other benefits to me & to my family
(my husband will do all of your yard work because
he is also hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in
part).
If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my
friends
who will picket your
house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there.
It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I
do,
and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm a hard-working and
honest,
person, except for well, you know, I did break into your house
And what a deal it is for me!!!
I live in your house, contributing only a
fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do
about
it without being accused of cold,
uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and
bigoted behavior.
Oh yeah, I DEMAND that you to learn
MY LANGUAGE!!! so you can communicate with me.
Why can't people see how ridiculous
this is?! Only in America .
if you agree, pass it on (in English).
Share it if you see the value of it.
If not blow it off.........
along with your future Social Security
funds, and a lot of other things.
Good...I was confused as usual...staying away from Smith shells and was thinkig that's why not moving...thanks too many of these shells in port
I still have VERD but have become disenchanted with Mark Smith shells.
As to Mike Vick, when it originally came out I was watching the NFL Network and Clinton Portis said what he did on his own property was his business and he could take the interviewer to dog fights in Laurel, MS anytime he wanted. Portis was under the impression that it was just another manly sport. Being from MS I was definetly disapointed. We have enough black eyes already without assholes talking about dog fights being acceptable in MS. They are not and I would not be suprised if Portis went to Vick's VA fights
Started accumulating VYGO.OB at $.06. Currently around $.17 Supposedly PR campaign to start next week. They have 3 facilities for private label oil derived from recycling dirty oil (only 2 have been announced). Facilities are only running at 20% capacity for now, but with 35% margins and production contracts in hand,and minimal labor costs, VYGO should be able to grow revenues very quickly with increased production. Not much info available but have done my digging and I like the model for specialty oils (no dry holes) and the management is top notch. This is a new company where the holdover owner's and IR person's shares have pretty much been absorbed now (around 6mm), and the PP placement at $.10 was the bottom a couple of weeks ago. I think there are about 95mm shares now with a float of around 40mm. May 15th a third party close to the company bought out Cornell and Tre Investments debentures which is always good. PR campaign will be getting more attention in Germany and Sweden than here, but I expect $.60 or more by Christmas with contracts already in place.
thanks...should have averaged down when it hit $1
THE HUSBAND STORE
A store that sells new husbands has just opened
in New York City, where a woman may go to
choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the entrance
is a description of how the store operates:
1. You may visit this store ONLY ONCE!
2. There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends.
3. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor,
but cannot go back down except to exit the
building!
A friend of mine went to the Husband Store to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids, and
are e xtremely good looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are
drop-dead good looking and help with housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are
drop-dead good looking, help with housework, and
have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor.
There are no men on this floor.
This floor exists solely as proof that women are
impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
*****Further:
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner
opens a new Wives Store just across the street,
also with six floors and the same rules.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The third through sixth floors have never been visited.
Is there a large S8 or something? now below $1

nothing like being 6 weeks late coming to MS. Hopefully it is worth it getting production done
7/10/07
I hope everyone's 4th was safe and fun. Mine was hot! I was in Las Vegas for my son's basketball tournament. They had a blast but got crushed by some very talented teams.
Things are gearing up again. We have another big production starting tomorrow. We are producing both Road Kill and Pumped Fitness in the 15oz size and the 30oz size.
Once this production is completed, I am on the road again. I need to get to Texas to arrange our production there. I also still need to get back to Tenn. and Miss. We have great distribution opportunities there that we need to take advantage of. We are expecting Road Kill to open up areas of the country that we have had a hard time penetrating so far.
I will stay in touch. I will reach out after the production is over and let you know the schedule.

ENY $25.63 Claymore Securities Launches a Canadian Energy Income Index ETF
Tuesday July 3, 9:30 am ET
LISLE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Claymore Securities, Inc. today launched the Claymore/SWM Canadian Energy Income Index ETF (AMEX:ENY - News). The new ETF tracks an index that is designed to combine the most profitable and liquid Canadian royalty trusts with the most highly-focused and fastest growing oil sands producers.
"The increasing global demand for energy has led to growth in Canada's oil and gas sectors during the past 10 years," said Christian Magoon, Senior Managing Director of Claymore Securities, Inc. "This ETF provides suitable investors who may be looking for exposure to companies engaged in the oil sands industry with an income opportunity from Canadian Royal Trusts."
Claymore/SWM Canadian Energy Income Index ETF (AMEX:ENY - News)
The Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund's fees and expenses, of an equity index called the Sustainable Canadian Energy Income Index. The Index is comprised of 30 stocks selected, based on investment and other criteria, from a universe of companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"), AMEX, NASDAQ or NYSE. The universe of companies includes over 35 TSX listed Canadian royalty trusts and 25 oil sands resource producers that are classified as oil and gas producers. The companies in the universe are selected using criteria as identified by Sustainable Wealth Management, Ltd. ("SWM" or the "Index Provider"). The Energy Income Index selection methodology is designed to combine the most profitable and liquid Canadian royalty trusts with the most highly focused and fastest growing oil sands producers using a tactical asset allocation model based on the trend in crude oil prices. The Index constituent selection methodology was developed by SWM as an effective, fundamental approach designed to select stocks from a group of companies primarily listed on the TSX. The Canadian royalty trust constituent selection methodology utilizes multifactor proprietary selection rules to seek to identify those stocks that have historically provided the highest profitability in the sector and meet minimum distribution yield, market cap and liquidity thresholds. The oil sands producers are selected on the basis of their focus on oil sands production, current production rate and projected production during the next 10 years. The oil sands producers must also pass minimum market capitalization and liquidity thresholds. Index constituents are updated annually or whenever a major corporate event occurs such as a merger or acquisition. The Energy Income Index allocates between the oil sands and royalty trust constituents according to the current price trend of crude oil.

For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of equity securities of an issuer held by the Fund; the price of common stock of an issuer may be particularly sensitive to general movements in the stock market; or a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the common stocks and other equity securities held by the Fund. In addition, common stock of an issuer in the Fund's portfolio may decline in price if the issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because, among other reasons, the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition. Common stock is subordinated to preferred stocks, bonds and other debt instruments in a company's capital structure, in terms of priority to corporate income, and therefore will be subject to greater dividend risk than preferred stocks or debt instruments of such issuers. In addition, while broad market measures of common stocks have historically generated higher average returns than fixed income securities, common stocks have also experienced significantly more volatility in those returns.
Oils/Energy Sector Risk. The profitability of companies in the oils/energy sector is related to worldwide energy prices, exploration, and production spending. Such companies also are subject to risks of changes in exchange rates, government regulation, world events, depletion of resources and economic conditions, as well as market, economic and political risks of the countries where energy companies are located or do business. Oil and gas exploration and production can be significantly affected by natural disasters. Oil exploration and production companies may be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates, interest rates, government regulation, world events, and economic conditions. Oil exploration and production companies may be at risk for environmental damage claims
Two young boys walk into a pharmacy one day, pick out a box of Tampax and proceed to the checkout counter. The man at the counter asks the older boy, "Son, how old are you?"
"Eight", the boy replies.
The man continues, "Do you know what these are used for?"
"Not exactly," the boy says. "But they aren't for me. They're for him. He's my brother. He's four. We saw on TV that if you use these you would be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now he can't do either one."
