Great day today.
It was already on the web site at 11:35 am this morning. This is when I saw it. The PR came out at 12:13 pm I believe.
I like it when they post it on the web site before they PR it.
Here is my post this morning.

Don't like to pump stocks preferring research and evaluating fundamentals even with pinksheet stocks...e.g., ETIM which seems to have a great future.
However, I just have a feeling about this one...gut feeing, intuition or whatever you want to call it, I think this one is gonna surprise. And I wouldn't want to be out of it when the surprise hits.
Great find IRISBULL, It's great to see Eternal Image spreading.
Sounds like a story I want to be part of. Great read.
Pete
It's always nice to move the PP's up without a PR.
That says a lot about our company gaining strength.
Nice green day.

Good Morning Superbee,
OT: A little late this morning, had to get the wife's Mercedes oil changed. That's the only time she lets me drive it.
It looks like a green day today.

I don't remember seeing where it's only going to air for two weeks. It did say a 2 part series.

Two-Part Series about the Funeral Industry to be Aired by Market Affiliates
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eternal Image, Inc. (OTC:ETIM.PK - News), a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of licensed image caskets and urns, today announced it has been profiled by CBS News as part of a two-part series on the changing funeral industry. The series was developed by CBS Newspath which provides completed news stories under the heading of "MoneyWatch" to the network's news affiliates for airing on local newscasts.
The series, by reporter Alexis Christoforous, became available to affiliates today (Friday, February 16) and can air as stations have space available.
"CBS News affiliates from around the country can download the series via satellite and incorporate it into their local newscasts," said Nick Popravsky, vice president of marketing, Eternal Image. "It is a very exciting opportunity for us and we are looking forward to seeing, and hearing, where it has aired."
CBS Affiliate Services visited Eternal Image last month to develop the piece and then went on to visit and interview a funeral home carrying the Eternal Image products and a consumer who is waiting for a particular sports product to become available. Eternal Image plans post a link to the piece on its web site when one becomes available.
I LIKE THIS PART:
EI is currently seeking to expand its distribution overseas under its global licensing agreement. The agreement with Vatican Library Collection(TM) allows EI to market worldwide and the company is working to establish international distribution and expects to announce more details in the second quarter of this year.
second quarter of this year.
This is from todays PR.
Pete
I Did,
Pretty cool, I'd like to see it overseas also.
GO GIRL
My scottrade alerts doesn't show any either. But they did e-mail me the news.
Anytime, Your welcome.
People say, when you invest in stocks make sure you deversify. Well that's true. Don't put all your eggs in one casket
ETIM is using the same investment technique.
I look at ETIM as a company that's deversifies it's products.
There's something for everyone.
That's very true. But, if we get 5 percent that sure will add up.

Number of Catholics and Priests Rises
Pontifical Yearbook of 2007 Releases Data
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VATICAN CITY, FEB. 12, 2007 - The number of Catholics and priests in the world at year-end 2005 had increased slightly over the previous 12 months, according to the new Pontifical Yearbook.
The 2007 edition of the yearbook, presented to Benedict XVI today, stated that as of year-end 2005, the latest date for which data are available, there were 1.115 billion Catholics worldwide.
The 2,400-page volume, which offers a numerical overview of the state of the Church, showed an increase of 1.5% of Catholics compared with the 1.098 billion listed the previous year.
A Vatican communiqué summarizing some of the data revealed that "since this relative growth is quite close to that of the general population -- 1.2% -- the presence of Catholics in the world has remained substantially unchanged -- 17.20%."
However, there are some areas where Catholic growth was greater than population growth.
There was an increase of 3.1% of Catholics in Africa, whose population has grown by slightly less than 2.5%, the communiqué said.
"The Asian and American continents have also registered a higher increase in Catholics than in population growth, 2.71% against 1.18% for Asia, and 1.2% against 0.9% for America," continued the Vatican statement. There was a slight increase of Catholics in Europe.
Priests
The Pontifical Yearbook revealed that the number of diocesan and religious priests rose to 406,411 from 405,891, a relative increase of 0.13%.
The percentage increases were much higher in Asia and Africa, 3.8% and 3.55%, respectively, it noted.
This is in contrast to "Europe and America with a percentage decrease of about a half point, and Australia, with a fall of 1.8%" in the number of priests.
Africa and Asia proportionately had more priests, the Vatican statement noted: "Africa and Asia together provided 19.58% to the world's overall number in 2004; in 2005 their contribution had risen to 20.28%."
The Americas maintained a percentage of around 29.8%, while Oceania stayed stable, at slightly over 1% of the world's priests, according to the communiqué.
"The only continent to see its own quota decline is Europe," it said. "In 2004, the 199,978 priests represented nearly 49.3% of the total ecclesiastic group, while one year later it had diminished to 48.8%."
The Pontifical Yearbook reported that the number of seminarians had increased in Africa, Asia and America, while decreasing in Europe and remaining stable in Oceania.
"In 2005, of every 100 candidates to the priesthood in the whole world, 32 were American, 26 Asian, 21 African, 20 European and one from Oceania," the communiqué stated.

Catholics worldwide
From 1978 to 2004, there was a rapid increase in the number of Catholics in the world by more than 45 percent. In the same period, they rose from almost 757 million to 1.098 billion, with an overall increase of about 342 million faithful

That would be great.
Have you visited the company's Headquaters?
Pete
OT: Behave yourself and leave the nurses alone.
OT: I'll be praying for you.
Hoepefully they all will become stockholders. I'm sure if they see the potential in selling the products they will also see the potential of being a stockholder.
Pete
Sorry, must be thinking alike.
Empire sees the writing on the walls, they know the impact EI will have.
As we were working with Empire to launch distribution in Florida, they asked if they could represent EI in Georgia as well," said Nick Popravsky, vice president of sales and marketing, Eternal Image. "Empire already handles distribution of other funerary products in Georgia and it seemed to all to be a logical extension."
GM,
OT: You got some cleaning to do, I see.
Yes, let's have a great week.
