Correct - no changes to the website. Simply a web-hosting problem, but pretty lame for Heathrow to wait so long to try to get it fixed.
I wonder if their IT person is getting paid in shares...LOL Can't even sell at most brokerages if they wanted to.
Obvious GNC is not featuring HRNF products. They submitted an application, just like every other non-GNC brand.
hadesdog - website was not hacked. Just another lie, if rumors are true that Pags is blaming his go-daddy site hosting problem on hackers.
They are no shorts, as has been confirmed numerous times.
Most can't buy or sell if they wanted to. Sell orders being rejected by most reputable brokerages, too.
too bad hop-on has never found success in anything they've tried. Nothing different now.
I'm pretty sure they charge extra. Unsure about how they can control dosage and if the drug companies have approved its use for that purpose.
The user could actually get in trouble for possession of a drug without prescription.
Great. He (CEO) likely doesn't want you or others selling while he is dumping billions of free-trading unrestricted shares at a steep discount.
He'd rather see you hold until the stock hits no bid, $0.0001 ask.
Potential Problems from Toxic and Carcinogenic Chemicals
Although e-cig makers and supporters initially claimed that their products contained no cancer-causing chemicals, a study by the FDA found that the e-cigs it tested contained detectable levels of known carcinogens and toxic chemicals to which users could potentially be exposed. More specifically, the FDA said the “toxic” chemicals included diethylene glycol [in addition to propylene glycol], “an ingredient used in antifreeze, [which] is toxic to humans;” “certain tobacco-specific nitrosamines which are human carcinogens;” and that “tobacco-specific impurities suspected of being harmful to humans – anabasine, myosmine, and B-nicotyrine – were detected in a majority of the samples tested.”
Unfortunately, no agency currently is testing to see what other impurities or other chemicals might be found in e-cigs, many of which are made in China where quality control and inspections may be less rigorous than in the U.S.
Also, at least one manufacturer has been found to have been deliberately adding Cialis as well as nicotine to its e-cigarettes.
In short, it appears that bystanders are being exposed to a wide variety of chemicals in addition to nicotine and propylene glycol when e-cigs are used in public places. While the amounts of these toxins, carcinogens, and other chemicals may be small, ASH respectfully suggests that no person should be able to force others to unnecessarily inhale any potentially dangerous chemicals, regardless of the amount of toxins or carcinogens present.
.........
Medical Evidence Related to Nicotine and Propylene Glycol
More specifically, although exhaled e-cig vapors apparently contain smaller amounts than cigarette smoke of nitrosamines and other cancer-causing chemicals which are the apparent cause of about 3,000 nonsmoker deaths each year from lung cancer, nicotine – which is a major factor in tobacco smoke causing about 50,000 annual nonsmokers’ deaths from heart attacks – is found in abundance in e-cig exhaled vapors.
Also, the other major component of e-cig vapors is propylene glycol, a respiratory irritant used in antifreeze, and known to cause respiratory tract infections.
The impact of long-term inhalation of this substance – particularly by infants and young children, older Americans, and those who already have respiratory problems or other conditions making them especially susceptible – is unknown, but is unlikely to be negligible.
As the U.S. Surgeon General has declared, there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke, and presumably there is no safe level of exposure to many of the major chemical components of tobacco smoke, including the drug nicotine.
Nicotine is a deadly drug (used to make insecticides) which is a very powerful stimulant which constricts and (also over the long term) damages) blood vessels, and triggers an immediate increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration.
Thus, even if (as claimed) e-cig vapors contain fewer carcinogens than tobacco smoke, nicotine – a major cause, along with carbon monoxide, of causing the overwhelming majority of secondhand smoke deaths (about 50,000 a year) – is still present in abundance.
In short, even if e-cigs largely eliminate the risk of lung cancer in nonsmokers, it appears that they may do little to reduce the risk which is much larger – by a factor of about 15-to-1 – of heart attacks.
The ability of secondhand tobacco smoke to cause heart attacks in nearby nonsmokers is important for at least two reasons.
FIRST, the number of heart attack deaths caused by secondhand tobacco smoke is about 15 times that caused by secondhand tobacco smoke due to lung cancer, and is the third major cause of death in the U.S. – second only to primary smoking (i.e., to smokers) and obesity. Indeed, the estimated 50,000 annual deaths from heart attacks triggered by secondhand smoke is larger than the number of deaths from all automobile accidents, from all crimes, from all guns, from AIDS, or from all illegal drugs.
The second reason is that extensive research has demonstrated that only minute amounts of the chemicals in drifting secondhand tobacco smoke are sufficient to trigger potentially fatal heart attacks in nonsmokers. These chemicals are believed to include nicotine and carbon monoxide.
While e-cigs apparently emit no carbon monoxide, they do emit (and users exhale) large amounts of nicotine – amounts and concentrations which may be even higher than that emitted by cigarette smokers, depending upon how the e-cig is loaded, and how it is used by the purchaser.
But perhaps the real problem – the very human problem – is best expressed by letters which our organization receives about e-cigarettes. One read:
“My first exposure to e-cigarettes was last year in a hospital; smokers were made to go outside but three e-smokers plus two staff were using the e-cigarettes inside . . . I have lupus and the vapor irritated my nose, eyes, throat, and chest, plus the nicotine was making me feel nauseous so there must have been significant quantities in the side-vapor. I am told I had no rights to stop the use of these cigarettes indoors. It makes a mockery of the new laws.”
What Other Governments Are Doing
E-cigs have already been banned outright in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Israel, and Mexico, among other places, and restricted in Finland, Malaysia, and Singapore. The use of e-cigs is prohibited in Suffolk Country, New York in any area in which tobacco smoking is prohibited.
The State of Virginia has also ruled that e-cigs are included in the state's existing smoking ban: "Are electronic cigarettes banned under the new law? Electronic cigarettes are considered cigarettes and are banned in the same locations affected by the new law." Link
Perhaps most importantly, legislators in New Jersey recently voted overwhelmingly to ban the use of e-cigs wherever smoking is likewise prohibited.
As this is written, a number of jurisdictions are considering bans on the use of e-cigs in public places. Other jurisdictions are considering banning the sale of e-cigs, a move largely designed to protect potential users of e-cigs, but one which would also help protect innocent nonsmokers from exposure to the vapors.
Such a ban on sales is also already partially in effect in Oregon as a result of legal action by the Attorney General. The Attorney General has filed a similar law suit against a major manufacturer of e-cigs, and the Attorney General of Connecticut has announced similar actions in the near future.
In short, the movement to prohibit the use of e-cigs around innocent bystanders is a strong and growing one supported by strong evidence and backed by precedent.
Banned E-cigs because: it is dangerous to breath it (Propylene glycol)
Some countries are concerned with people inhaling vaporized Propylene glycol.
The Material Safety Data Sheet for the chemical warns:
Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/sprayChronic Effects on Humans: May cause damage to the following organs: central nervous system (CNS).Other Toxic Effects on Humans:
Hazardous in case of ingestion. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, permeator), of inhalation.
Special Remarks on Chronic Effects on Humans:
May affect genetic material (mutagenic). May cause adverse reproductive effects and birth defects (teratogenic) based on
animal test data.

SSLC may just reject APCX letter of intent
After all, they are allowed to do their DD during this phase. Maybe they are just hoping to reverse-merge into a shell to get access to massive dilution like APCX has.
Why would someone give HOP-ON their credit card number?
The company is run by Peter Michaels, so I would not buy anything from him. Apparently, based on their $0 in sales during periods when they claimed to have orders and sales....no one else is buying anything, either.
stacka -read the article from SFGATE that basically called Peter Michaels a scammer extraordinare.
Stolen Nokia technology and disguised Nokia phones were the phones Hop-On was trying to pass-off as their own "invention".
Looks like the disguised Nokia phone was basically fraud and hop-on got caught.
HOP-ON never had a hop-on booth at another CES show after that. They would be laughed out of the convention as a scam company with a felon CEO.

Sample 'new' cell phone really just modified Nokia
March 29, 2002|By Todd Wallack, Chronicle Staff Writer
Hop-On.com's new disposable cell phone, touted everywhere from Time Magazine to CNNfn as a landmark innovation, may be less original than it seems.
In news releases and interviews, the publicly traded California company says it has developed and manufactured an "innovative, technologically advanced" phone so cheap that customers can toss it away when they are done. Hop-On says the phone will retail for $30, including 60 minutes of calls.
But after cracking open several samples with Hop-On's name and kangaroo logo, The Chronicle found the "revolutionary" device appeared to be little more than a jury-rigged Nokia in a new plastic shell.Underneath the red plastic casing, one sample was clearly labeled inside as a "Nokia 8260."
Another Hop-On cell phone contained a part with Cingular Wireless' name and logo. Cingular spokeswoman Monica Mears said the part, called a SIM card, came from a batch of 100 Nokia 8290s it sold Hop-On last year. A white rechargeable battery in the phone also looks identical to one used in Nokias, though the name has been etched off. Only the circled R, denoting a registered trademark, remains.
"All the components that make it work are ours," said Nokia spokesman Keith Nowak. Nokia, which examined the samples at The Chronicle's request, said it is considering whether to take action against Hop-On.
Hop-On Chief Executive Officer Peter Michaels was initially evasive when asked why the phones appeared to be modified Nokias. "Hop-On technology is proprietary," he said in a faxed reply.
But after The Chronicle explained its findings in greater detail, Michaels said the repackaged Nokias were "promotional samples only. They are not Hop-On production phones."
Michaels explained that the Garden Grove (Orange County) company was forced to use Nokias to produce the samples because of glitches with its own invention. "We had to scratch one of our designs," he said. Michaels, however, insists Hop-On is working out the bugs. "We are light years ahead of anyone," he said.
Still, even if Hop-On used the modified Nokias only to show off its concept, an industry analyst said Hop-On should have clearly disclosed that fact.
"I think (to call it) misleading would be putting it lightly," said Allen Nogee, a wireless components analyst with Cahners In-Stat, a technology research firm in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Moreover, the disclosure raises questions about whether Hop-On will be able to launch an ultracheap wireless phone anytime soon.
Problem - dilution is like death spiral toxic financing. The lower the PPS goes, the more shares the company needs to issue (at a steep discount) to get the same $100 in cash to stay afloat a little longer.
That is probably why the co said "no concern for dilution". They wanted to keep shareholders in the dark as long as they could, amid their massive share dumping scheme. When a long doing DD revealed the company was doing massive dilution, the company came out to try to do damage control by doing a paid promoter "interview".
Correct - no buys and no sells at major brokerages - clearly directed at HRNF.
Just more lies from the company.
Pagnano also claims "HRNF.PK is now DTC eligible".
More bogus info on the Heathrow website.
Revealed here by a long doing DD
The first report from someone who called the TA and noticed the massive dilution was after Eric clained no concern for dilution. The entire pump/dump period in 2011 resulted in MASSIVE dilution.
I guess William Eric pulled the wool over shareholders' eyes once again.
Maybe. SSLC would love to reverse-merger with somone, IMO.
Sure would't want to be long if ??Eric converts and sells his "special" shares.
Or....has he been already doing it?
Thank the posters, who were the first to reveal that APCX was diluting in an exponentially-increasing volume.
The CEO got caught in the lie he made about "no concern for dilution' and immediately arranged for a paid promotional so-called interview to try to explain that lie.....didn't work very well.
SSLC is making the apps. APCX is providing cash from dilutive shares. APCX's last failed APP venture went bust, so they dumped the app maker they were using.
No proof (link) that Heathrow website was hacked. Beware of false info on the net from paid stock promotion mob and manipulative crooked traders.
Almost as bad as claims on the net that there is shorting of HRNF, when it has been confirmed there is no shorting at all.
HRNF lies to shareholders - repeatedly
Promised pinksheets update fall2010, then promised again in early 2011.
HRNF has not provided one bit of info to shareholders since Feb 2. Looks like they went into hiding.
Website was even shut down by the company, after they pulled most press releases. Looks like the website is finally back in operation, but the lies remain.
Bogus Heathrow projections once again.
The CEO has a history of putting out hyped projections and buyback promises, then diluting billions and billions and billions of shares toi those believing his lies.
Not hacked. Just an excuse by a failed CEO with huge problems with the SEC's Gendarme illegal unregistered share sale investigation.
Heathrow actually pulled all press releases including the ones where they claimed they did noting wrong.
SSLC may just pass on Apptech...after all, it is just a LOI.
DD often causes the party to decide if getting diluted into the ground is worth it.
Thus, the other AppTech companies incorporated in Nevada. One is a subsidiary of this AppTech. The other.....?
Common shareholders should be very concerned about just how much of AppTech their really own. DD shows reason for concern.
oilin07 - APCX doesn't even own the learning co., so contracts mean nothing.
Does APCX even have anything they can give? Their latest financials show they are very cash-poor and will need massive dilution......massive dilution.
I would not believe what the company says anymore?
Too many lies.
I don't think anyone missed anything while Heathrow took their website down.
Appears just website host issues, not long after HRNF Pulled all recent press releases from their own website. This was around the same time as other finacial sites pulled all press releases.
Apparently, HRNF refuses to update investors on anything, so obviously they have fallen completely silent for a reason, and it doesn't look good to pump and then go silent when they have difficulty using shares as currency.
Still appears to contain much incorrect information, including what appears to be incorrect info about Drugmart.
Most have read the email excerpts that showed Drugmart not carrying the product.
Chisel - because they already got a bunch of cash. More to come, although it likely will just be money not well spent.
William will then pick another business model so he can dump billions and billions more shares for cash to stay afloat a little longer.
Richard, the former CEO of Universal Express, does not deserve a Semper Fi!
I'm surprised it took so long for him to get caught.
It was a default judgment....uncollectible.
Default because the other side was in jail. There was never any naked shorting issue, just heavy dilution for cash and other services.
nope, Richard Altomare was the reason they were shut down. He was dumping shares like mad and buying stuff with proceeds. The SEC finally got him.
Yes, the more DD done, the more depressing it becomes. I'd like to know what all of those amended designations are about, in the Nevada SOS filings.
What will their next entry be? A reverse split, or a doubling of the share authorization to 15 billion?
APCX doesn't even own SSLC. They have a letter of intent, but no ownership at all in SSLC.
SSLC is probably hoping it can just do a reverse merger into the almost-shell company (APCX)
Then they can reverse split, then dilute it right back into the ground, like they are doing right now.
Trader - shares weere all changed to par value $0.0001. Read their financials.
Of course the special classes of shares didn't change.
They also didn't split last time (the special shares), so common shareholders basically got burned. Now the CEO holds over 8 billion shares, on as as-converted basis.
mr power - no change in management failures at Heathrow.
Same old bogus press releases and promises. Why would Heathrow change now. The share selling piggy bank worked well, until the recent SEC problems with illegal unregistered share sales and the bigger problems with their press releases being deleted and no email and website no longer functioning.

It would probably change its ticker to SSLC after a 1:300 or so R/S.
The price would go down because they woud probably keep the A/S at 7.5 billion shares....then dilute an exponentially-higher number of shares....for cash, of couse...at a steep discount.
Did some DD. Look at Nevada filings for:
