Daily Fortune - "Who's more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?"
Trops, you should be looking other places for profits. By reading this board it seems like the CEO is full of it. Dilution is the name of game here. IPMG has nothing. Any fool knows that he needs to dilute more to attract a JV and even more if he wants money. I can smell a reverse split. Good luck to all longs. You need it!

Buddha's Daily Wisdom: "Self-knowledge is the path to many realizations, but you must practice with a happy mind."
Anything worthwhile out there to buy?
Daily Fortune: "A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory."
Buddha's Daily Wisdom: "The benefits of concentration are numerous. Until you realize ultimate truth, listening is indispensable, therefore listen carefully to the instructions of your qualified teachers."
Daily Fortune: "Today is the first day of your life or the last day of your life so far."
Buddha's Daily Wisdom: "The true nature of the mind is clarity just like the water in a lake is the same clear substance from top to bottom. When we are suffering from worry, fear, stress, etc., we can attain a peaceful mind by comparing our agitation to the waves on the surface of a lake. The source of our peace of mind lies only a few feet below the surface and since the water is clear, our mind can also be clear of all that appears to cause us suffering."
Daily Fortune: "If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it."
Never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.
Buddha's Daily wisdom - "Everyone wants to be happy and no one wants to suffer. We tend to look for happiness in external conditions thinking if only I had a better house, more money, a better car, etc. True lasting happiness can be found faster and easier by working on our internal state of mind."
Buddha's Daily Wisdom - "Delusions such as hatred, greed, and ignorance are not an intrinsic part of our mind. If we apply the appropriate methods, such as contemplating virtuous thoughts, they can be completely eliminated, and we will experience supreme happiness."
Today's Fortune: "Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first."
This thing is just smoking hot lately.
Buddha's Daily Fortune: "The mind that cherishes others is the supreme good heart. Keeping such a good heart will result only in happiness for ourselves and all those around us."
Daily Fortune: "Who's more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?"
Bhudda's Daily Wisdom - "Speak only when you can improve on silence."
Daily Fortune - "Everything you are searching for is inside you."
Buddha's Daily Wisdom: "The effects of anger: all the good that you do and the merit you accumulate by doing so is like wood. Your anger is like a fire which consumes it."
It's lunch time!
Today's Fortune: "The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on"
Buddha's Daily Wisdom - "When others out of jealousy harm me or insult me, may I take the defeat upon myself and offer them the victory. This has been realized and taught by all the great masters in different ways. Another expression is to turn the other cheek. As difficult as this is to achieve, the results are priceless. The essence of this practice is that when given the opportunity to defend ourselves, or to right an injustice, it is often more beneficial in the long run if we just let others get the credit, or allow things to develop over time and simply observe the results. This method may not always appear possible to apply, but when we can get ourselves to do it things just seem to turn out right in the end."
Daily Fortune - "If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before."
Buddha's Daily Wisdom - "Put yourself in my shoes." The realizations and resulting compassion that comes from exchanging self with others is more profound than that developed through any other methods.

FYI for all - SEC set to ease anti-fraud law rules Small firms likely to win audit break
Associated Press
December 12, 2006
WASHINGTON -- Proposed revisions to the landmark Sarbanes-Oxley anti-fraud law will include relaxing some rules for small public companies in a bid to curb what they say have been excessive costs related to audits, the Securities and Exchange Commission's accounting chief said yesterday.
SEC Chief Accountant Conrad W. Hewitt said regulators are trying to balance the costs and benefits of the 2002 law's Section 404, which requires companies to file reports on internal financial controls and to fix any problems.
Smaller firms especially have complained about the costs of complying with the requirements.
Reducing testing and documentation for businesses of $75 million to $700 million in market capitalization is in the works, and creating a minimum revenue requirement for companies is also a possibility, Hewitt told reporters after a speech at a conference of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
SEC officials are in daily communication with the independent board that oversees the U.S. accounting industry as both bodies work on their own revisions to the rules, he added.
"The proposal will be designed to focus auditors on areas that pose higher risk of fraud or material error in order to achieve cost savings," Mark W. Olson, who chairs the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board set up by Sarbanes-Oxley, said in his speech. The board responds to what the SEC does and will deliver an audit standard that applies to whichever companies the commission says are covered, Olson told reporters after his speech. But there has been a lot of focus on tailoring the rules differently, depending on the size of the companies.
Rep. Michael G. Oxley, the Ohio Republican who is departing as chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, acknowledged that Section 404 was more expensive for companies than originally expected, but said compliance costs were declining over time and blamed the costs issues on "overzealous implementation."
The SEC is scheduled to tentatively adopt its revisions tomorrow, and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board is set to hold its a meeting Dec. 19 to vote on changes to the auditing standard.
"We're working very hard to get unanimity, but it's a free country," Olson said, adding the intent is for the new rules to be fully implemented next year.
Another area of concern is the litigation environment accounting firms work in.
"We do not want to see another Arthur Andersen," Hewitt said, referring to the now-defunct accounting firm that was convicted in 2002 of obstruction of justice in its audit work for Enron Corp. (The U.S. Supreme Court later reversed the conviction on grounds of a flawed jury instruction.)
New liability legislation "could help," Hewitt said. "We do not want to put an external auditing firm in a position where it couldn't perform as it normally would."
