Dodo, did you happen to talk to ChefZ???(repost)
I'm sure a lot of us are wondering whether he shared any info. as to when things would start happening.... I've only been in IVFYH for about a month or so (75K shares), but I'm a little discouraged by the Chef's apparent unwillingness to keep shareholders in the loop. I just don't understand it. Surely they could and should give us some type of update - even if to say things were proceeding as planned. I didn't even know about IVFH at the time of last year's conference call, but I can't imagine how some must feel after being told that a flurry of PR's would follow - and then nothing! It just doesn't send a good message. Sure, it's great that they're growing by leaps and bounds (and that's why I'll stay put a while longer), but pretty soon I think they have to recognize the need to let us know what is going on. I just can't get myself to invest more money in a company that is unwilling to do that. My guess is that others on this board feel the same way. All IMO. GLTA.
Pinkie, I agree..for a minute I thought this was RB Board...
Come on children, let's get back to the business of discussing NWOG..
Stushy, I agree with you, but I hope Parkin is not sitting around reading these boards. Hopefully, he is busy with other things...... GLTY

Putin criticizes Europe over energy assets....
(Sorry if previously posted - article at Yahoo.com)
By THOMAS KENT, Associated Press Writer
55 minutes ago
NOVO-OGARYOVO, Russia - Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday that European demands for access to Russian energy assets were unfair.
"We assess that as a way to force us to make unilateral steps to satisfy our partners but not fully taking into account Russian economic interests," Putin said, adding that Russia should get a share in European energy assets in return. "There will be no unilateral moves."
Russia's state-controlled natural gas monopoly OAO Gazprom has complete control of gas exports and so faces no competition from independent producers. The European Union has pressured Russia to offer European companies broader access to gas fields and export pipelines to reduce Gazprom's ability to charge monopolist rents on gas transported from Russia and the former Soviet Union.
"In fact, our friends in Europe and other states are asking us to let them into the heart of our economy," Putin told a group of media executives from the Group of Eight nations at his residence outside Moscow. "But then you should also let us into the most important sectors of your economies."
An April deal between Gazprom and Germany chemical maker BASF, under which the latter got a share in a Russian gas field in exchange for giving the Russians a share in its gas distribution network, was a good example for the future, he said.
"This is a very good example of cooperation, which takes it to a new level of trust," Putin said.
"We have resources and we offer them, you need them, so let us search for solutions that would increase the level of trust and lead toward long-term and stable cooperation for decades ahead. It's possible and we want that," Putin said.
Separately, Gazprom board chairman Dmitry Medvedev, who is also first deputy prime minister, told a group of foreign journalists that the acquisition by Gazprom of European assets "should not frighten Europe" because it would mean closer integration.
Putin blamed Ukraine for a brief suspension of Russian energy supplies to the West in January, which shocked the Europeans and encouraged them to search for alternative supply routes.
"Our friends (in the West) actively supported the Orange events in Ukraine," Putin said in a reference to the 2004 Orange Revolution that paved the way for the victory of Western-leaning Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko.
"If you want to further support developments there, you pay for that," he said, the color rising in his face.
He said Russia had been spending $3 billion to $5 billion a year to subsidize cheap gas supplies for Ukraine and no longer is willing to do that.
The New Year's shutdown, which was followed by gas shortages during a harsh winter, came as Russia declared energy security to be a top priority of its leadership this year of the Group of Eight leading industrialized nations.
Amid European concerns, Medvedev played down a warning from Gazprom last month that it could turn to other markets including Asia to sell its gas if Europe restricts the company's expansion plans.
"Nobody has talked about turning the valves away from Europe and toward Asia," he said, stressing that Gazprom will honor all its contracts. However, he added that the company must look to all potential markets as it plots its future.

That's okay, Laking. I will leave the invitation open to everyone though... Dodostall?? Davidam??
Laking.. if you have a time to call in mind, I can arrange a conference call. That way we don't duplicate questions (and can confirm all Q & A).. Just an idea.
I would like to call Chef Z as you have suggested...
Do you have his phone # handy.. or is it the one on the website? Also, does he go by Chef Z??? TIA
Dodo, I have been reading almost all of your posts on IVFH. As I mentioned several days ago, I have applauded all of your DD on IVFH. You're excitement about the stock is contagious!
However, I think it is totally improper of you to label another stock (NDOL) as a "scam" without any evidence to back it up. In fact, all of the evidence I have seen through links, SEC filings, etc. reflects that NDOL is a strong viable company with excellent potential! The fact that the pps is down should be no surprise to you as you are constantly stating how the MM's manipulate the pps of even the best pink sheet companies..
I may be wrong, but your motive in labeling NDOL as a "scam" seems to be to get people to dump that and buy your baby, IVFH. If I'm wrong, I apologize, but your post leaves that impression.
As I said before, I have enjoyed your previous posts immensely and as you, believe that IVFH will take off soon. Please keep up the good work with your posts, but take my concerns into consideration. Respectfully, "some_extra_dough"
W.S. If I had some extra dough, I'd be buying too!! I think a lot of us got in early never believing there would be any chance we'd see these prices!!
34/54, sounds like it's only a matter of time before you break even (and then some$$). I really like what I've been reading so far. This board has a number of great posters (ie., davidam, dodostall, robsaia, Lakingsphan, negger and others) who have really done their homework on this one. It seems like all stones have been uncovered. To some extent, I feel like I'm taking advantage of all of their hard work, but I realize that they've posted the info. for everyone. GL with all your investments!
34/54, whether you make "quick money" depends largely on when you get in.. (lol).. I'm tickled to have stumbled across this in the last week or so and am very excited about the potential here.. GLTA (esp. the longs who have been so patient with this one)
The way I look at it is this....
Until we get some more solid info. (or until we move to a diff. exchange), the MM's are going to continue to play games with this stock. There's nothing anyone on this board can do about it.
However, I think that some of us have lost sight of the fact that instead of complaining about it, we should view these times as a wonderful opportunity to buy more shares, average down, etc.
Why be upset at the people that present us with that opportunity?? What we should really be doing is taking advantage of it. If some of us are really "long" in NDOL, why do we care if the MM's are having their fun now.. We know who will get the last laugh and $$$$$!! JMO
Is the 208+ million more than what expected?(em)
Question for the Board....
I'm new to HISC, but I've been reading everything I could find over the weekend.. I do have one question though regarding the upcoming dividend:
If every 50 shares of HISC gets you 1 share in a company expected to be trading at $0.50, don't you make a return of on your money immediately?? I must be oversimplyfing this greatly. TIA for any responses..
My example is this:
1. I purchase 100k shares at $0.04 / share = $4,000.00
2. My 100k shares divided by 50 = 2000 shares of other company.
3. If other co. trades at $0.50, then other shares worth $1,000
4. I'm left with my original 100k shares of HISC and 2000 shares of other co...
**Total investment went from $4,000 to $5,000... or 25% GAIN!!??
Davidam, thank you for your reply! In terms of the acquisition of Pasta Italina, it seems like this is maybe a done deal. I saw mention of the issuance of more shares (10 million? - I'm a little fuzzy on that yet), but I also saw this in the 10Q.
"As we seek to increase our sales of perishables, . . . and if the option to purchase the pasta company is exercised, we may use existing cash reserves, long-term financing, or other means to finance such diversification."
***Cash flows from investing activities***
Funds advanced to extend an option to purchase (203,157 )
Acquisition of property and equipment (4,521 )
Am I correct in saying that the $207k and change stated in the 10Q is related to the acquisition of Pasta Ital.? Also, do you have any link to more info. on Pasta Ital.?
I apologize that at this point I'm only asking questions (instead of supplying info.), but I appreciate the info. you, Robsaia, dodostall, Laking and others have kindly provided!
Davidam, I saw a previous post of yours from 7/05 on another site:
"Reasons why IVFH is a great investment
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated DD page 07/17/2005
The company has an open door policy with its shareholders. They have impressed shareholders as being honest and straight shooters. We have spoken with the President and CEO on many occasions. We have recently met them in person in New York City at the first annual shareholders meeting on 07/06/2005.
Issued and Outstanding- 83 million
Restricted- 54 million
Tradeable float- 29 million
Float even tighter because there are some large strong common holders
Company is currently break even and will most likely be profitable quarter over quarter moving forward
Chef Joe told shareholders at the shareholders meeting that the company has no need for outside financing to support the current business. If not for the current one time extraordinary expenses associated with filings the company would be profitable now.
Growth is imminent and a great portion of the growth moving forward is organic non dilutive.
With every new product/partner they align with brings strong organic growth, no need for dilutive acquisition
Benefits of and IPO yet it is likely currently substantially undervalued due to the scam that crushed their share price
Shareholders were told at the meeting the company has 12 pr’s lined up and will start releasing something soon.
It is expected that the more important news the company has will be given near or after the move to the OTC.BB. It is also expected these pr’s could be released over a period of several months.
Key contract with US Food Service enables continued organic growth. The company is currently in talks with Sysco Foods as well. Both major food suppliers have an increasing demand for the perishables IVFH offers. IVFH has no competition to date per Chef Joe DiMaggio at the shareholders meeting therefore
IVFH appears well positioned to make their best deal.

Specialty food distributor Food Innovations Inc., will start 2005 off by targeting upscale grocery stores with its origin-specific perishables, according to an article from November 2004
Exotic Perishables have grown into a greatly demanded items. Chef Joe was instrumental in helping write this article from US Food Services press service. The article certainly gives more credibility to the rumor that IVFH will buy a farm in China that is already profitable by 1m per year. The purchase would be made in restricted shares and with cash from profits

*** I like what I've been reading on IVFH, but I'm wondering if anything has changed since your post - esp. with respect to the 12 PR's and share float... TIA and GLTY..
Robsaia, thank you for your comments!(em)
I saw that one go through, but it looked like there was a gap of about an hour in there.?? I could be wrong though (or I forgot to hit my "refresh" button)...
I'm showing no trades in last hour..??
Could that be correct?? TIA
robsaia, I just purchased some IVFH (50k shares @.042) and am thinking of purchasing another 50k. I like what you and others have posted about this one. It sounds like you all have really been doing some DD on this stock and that it's ready to go to the next level.. The OTCBB listing should help propel this upward as well as Disney.. From what is being said, it sounds like the co. may not want to release any PR's until the OTCBB listing.. I'm not exactly clear on why that would be and was hoping that you and others could share your thoughts on it.
P.S. I also appreciate all of your posts on NDOL. I'm into that one pretty heavily and am excited about its potential..
TIA and GL with your investments!
(All opinions are only my own)
Stock, could never fault someone for taking a profit like that!! GLTY
MGD, I hadn't thought of that, but it would seem like you're right. If the merger didn't take place until May, how would the first quarter include NWOG?? The answer as you pointed out is that it would NOT. So, we really don't know from the first quarter report what NWOG brought to the table?? Is that fair to say?? Is there any way to confirm this?? If so, how is it a consolidated report?? Hopefully, the 8-k will shed some light on that. All is JMO and thoughts...
Great post Cynic.. you're right on the $$$(em)
Wrongjoe, you're right-on the mark!!(em)
Well said MBP3, I for one am with you!(em)
EricEcon.. that's exactly the case!!
Most posters have forgotten that both of these companies merged for a reason! Unlike the insiders, we just don't have all the info. at this point! I think all will become clear fairly soon. I think what people also forget is that NDOL hasn't even started pumping yet.. That being the case, the revenue numbers are impressive! Also, as more than one poster has commented, I think the report that we've seen does not include the proven / probable reserves. These things combined with the OIL JV. , OTC market, and growth rate are what is going to drive up the pps. True investors of this company are excited about this news and esp. the potential, those who wanted to make a quick buck and get out now realize that it's not going to be as quick as they thought. All IMO (GLTY!!)
After all this, watch us close GREEN!!!(eom)
MOW THE LAWN - BEST ADVICE OF DAY!!!(em)
EricEcon.. I think you're exactly correct!! (at least I hope so).. If not, the numbers wouldn't even add up to what we thought NDOL was worth.
Climb back up??(em)
Wrong board, Michelle!!(em)
The company presently produces over 120,000 Metric Tons of crude oil yearly.
Am I correct in saying that this is just NWOG, since we haven't even started pumping yet????? If so, this is HUGE!!! All imo..
I have to scrape together some more $$$$......
to buy at these ridiculously low prices.. It kills me that I didn't hold some back for a situation like this.. Anyway, it's better to be in the game already than waiting on the sidelines hoping to get a chance to play..
20vision, I was thinking the exact same thing...(eom)
If you look at the SEC.GOV site, it looks like there are documents being filed every few seconds (you may have to refresh the screen).. I imagine our 8-k is in a stack of documents ready to be filed.. JMO..
