It would be hard to show performance with out those acquisitions,and they didn't come free.So far they should only be about 10 million over what they said they would top out at,which leaves the o/s still very low for this price range.New to this stock,but I'm liking it more every day:)
Weird thing about this board,I don't see any one trying to bash this stock.Strange for IHUB,lol.Looks real good to me.Hope I can add a lot more shares before it runs.
Thank you.Have done some DD,plan on doing a lot more:)
I'm new to this stock,hope it's a winner.By the way,I got 23000 of those shares.Hope to get a lot more in the .008's.GLTY
Any recent updates on A/S O/S.I see the O/S are almost maxed out.Don't want to step into another r/s.Just came from one.TIA.
Could you please explain why he's wrong?
It's not the first time something stupid,or untrue, has come out of his mouth.
TD Ameritrade has also updated.
"I know a lot of people dont want to make money on their investments, but I think its about time we understand that Matthews purchasing 2,000 caskets is real. It IS REAL." 1 million shares before first r/s is now 2,500 shares.You're never make money on those shares,and your recently bought share's aren't looking any better.Over the last 4 or five years,I've put almost $4,000 into this pos,and although I've taken some out,most of it is history.That may not be a lot of money to you,but it is to me,and I don't take lightly losing it because I was lied to.All I see in the future of this company is more lie's till the company go's private.Good luck on getting a decent price for your shares than. After thought:I except part of the blame for losing my money because I was stupid enough to believe their lie's.I gotta remember,a pink is a pink,and this one's no different:(
Panic selling?I don't think you have to worry about that,because no one wants to sell their shares for almost nothing,lol.Although I'm not really laughing.
If they wanted to earn some trust,they could have dump their shares the proper way,and done the r/s when the pps was in the .005 to .007 range.At least than,those who weren't happy with the r/s could have got out with some of their money.I will never trust them again.
10 cents?At to today's closing pps,it would only be .012 cent's.Who the hell knows what the pps will be when the split happens?
All the above.
This message has self destruct:(
What??
"Is there a market for these type of caskets?" The other company has been in business for over 13 years,so I assume there's a market.
Basser1,thanks:)
If you don't know where to find those numbers,you might want to consider putting your money in a money market account,lol.
You can find those in the 10Q:)
Nice volume to go along with those nice buy's:)
I agree 100% RJ.Wish I had more money to buy shares,but the good thing is you don't need much money right now to buy a truck load,lol.
You're welcome,but until I see that link,I won't post that it has been approved.As far as them remaining silent,there could be a very good reason for that.Maybe,for some reason,Matthew's want's it that way.I'm sure we'll hear one way or the other before long.
Thanks for that info.Before I sell my shares,could you please provide a link so I can see for myself?:)
You really don't believe that ETNL can rise back up to the .002 range?It's hard for me to believe that any one who trade's in penny land,don't see this as an almost sure bet for at least a 50 to 100% profit.I'm betting on a whole lot more,but for those looking to flip,load up,double your money and be happy;)IMO of course.
Your minute make's my day:)
Good point.You have a good week end too.
If the urn's do sell well,than I bet the caskets become part of the Matthew LOU.Fourth quarter,or 2011,as long as Matthews stays involved,I'm not concerned.
Japanese Trekkie community expanding at warp speed
By Jamie Lano
TOKYO —
“Choju to hanei wo.” Or, as some of us are more used to hearing, “Live long and prosper.” Those iconic words, first spoken by Mr Spock in the original “Star Trek” television series some 40 years ago, helped usher in a new era of science fiction television across the world. And Japan was no exception.
While the world of Japanese “Star Trek” fandom is not as readily visible as, say, goth loli or the cult of Pikachu, Trekkies are lurking around nearly every corner. In particular, the series (known in Japan as “Uchu Daisakusen”) has had a strong influence on men now in their 30s and 40s.
“Nearly everyone watched it at least once growing up,” says Tenjin Hidetaka, 36, a mechanical designer for the popular Macross Frontier anime series. “Fans told me about ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation,’ which at the time was being serialized…. From the moment I tuned in, I was hooked. It was the first time that I became completely involved in a television show.”
“Star Trek” debuted on Japanese TV in the ’70s, and the first unofficial fanclub, Starfleet Kyoto, formed soon after. A few years later, the fan base grew when the Japanese edition of popular sci-fi magazine Starlog began publishing special issues with interviews and behind-the-scenes photos. In 1980, an 8-bit text-based simulation game based on the series became the country’s top-selling title shortly after its debut. More new fans were beamed aboard in 1992, when “The Next Generation” began its long-running serialization, and then again when small publisher Japan Mix released a series of “Star Trek”-related fiction and guidebooks a few years later.
The series has proved enormously influential in pop culture as well. Leading game show “America Oudan Ultra Quiz,” which ran on Nippon TV from 1977 to 1992, used a version of the original “Star Trek” music as its opening theme, and the 2005 film “Summer Time Machine Blues” featured a character who dressed up as Commander Riker from “The Next Generation.” Perhaps the best-known tribute came from superstar band M-Flo, who rewrote the original “Star Trek” theme to coincide with the series’ 40th anniversary. Titled “Love Long and Prosper,” the track is available on the album electriCOLOR.
Although “Star Trek” fever broke with the cancellation of spin-off series like “Voyager” and “Deep Space Nine,” interest is heating up again thanks to last year’s big-screen release. At the December edition of Comiket, the bi-annual “dojinshi” event that draws tens of thousands of people to Tokyo Big Sight, visitors could find almost any type of fan-generated material imaginable. The series’ appeal to Japanese anime and manga devotees is obvious — the episodes are by turns humorous, adventuresome and romantic.
In the pre-internet days, small-scale “Star Trek” clubs like Uchu Ringo, which hosted gatherings and parties for fellow fans, were the norm. Nowadays, most fans have moved to Mixi as a central rallying point, with the largest Trekkie community boasting nearly 7,000 members. The Japanese version of Memory Alpha, the “Star Trek” wiki, hosts nearly 2,000 articles.
All of this activity has boldly led to where no Japanese has gone before: an official Japan-based “Star Trek” fan club, which debuted in February. Featuring members-only events and original merchandise, Starfleet Far East is the culmination of 40 years of fandom. For Japan’s cell phone legions, there’s also a mobile site where, for a monthly fee of 350 yen, users can access ringtones, sound effects, animated screensavers and the latest “Star Trek” news.

[edit] Origins
In 1967, science fiction editor Arthur W. Saha applied the term "trekkies" when he saw a few fans of the first season of Star Trek wearing pointy ears at the 25th World Science Fiction Convention, on the day Gene Roddenberry showed a print of "Amok Time" to the convention. Saha used the term in an interview with Pete Hamill that Hamill was conducting for TV Guide concerning the phenomenon of science fiction.[2]
The Trekkie phenomenon did not catch on with general public consciousness until years after the show was cancelled in 1969. The show began syndication in reruns during the early 1970s and the first fan convention devoted to Star Trek opened in 1972 in New York.
[edit] Trekkie vs. Trekker
This article may contain original research. Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding references. Statements consisting only of original research may be removed. More details may be available on the talk page. (May 2009)
Some Star Trek enthusiasts prefer the term "Trekkie", while some others self-identify as "Trekker". Self-identification as a "Trekkie" became even less popular after a famous national television parody in 1986 (see In Popular Culture below); several self-described "Trekkers" were quoted as saying they "had a life" (contrasting themselves from "Trekkies").
In the 1991 TV show Star Trek: 25th Anniversary Special, Leonard Nimoy attempted to settle the issue by stating that the term 'Trekker' is the correct one.
In the documentary Trekkies, Kate Mulgrew stated that Trekkers are the ones "walking with us" while the Trekkies are the ones content to simply sit and watch Star Trek.
The issue is also shown in the film Trekkies 2, in which a Star Trek fan recounts a supposed incident during a Star Trek convention where Gene Roddenberry used the term "trekkies" to describe fans of the show, only to be corrected by a fan that stood up and yelled "Trekkers!" Gene Roddenberry allegedly responded with "No, it's 'Trekkies.' I should know — I invented the thing." Generally, fans of film and television franchises make up their own nicknames, as with the "Browncoats" who are fans of the Firefly television series.
[edit] Other names
Star Trek fans who believe Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is the best series of the franchise adopted the title of Niner following the episode "Take Me Out to the Holosuite", in which Captain Benjamin Sisko formed a baseball team "The Niners".[citation needed]
[edit] Activities
There are many Star Trek fan clubs, among the largest currently being STARFLEET International and the International Federation of Trekkers. Some Trekkies regularly attend Star Trek conventions (called "cons").
There is a persistent stereotype that amongst Trekkies there are many speakers of the constructed Klingon language. The reality is less clear-cut, as some of its most fluent speakers are more language aficionados than people obsessed with Star Trek. Most Trekkies have no more than a basic vocabulary of Klingon, perhaps consisting of a few common words heard innumerable times over the series, while not having much knowledge of Klingon's syntax or precise phonetics.[3]
Another fan activity is filking, that is playing or writing music about Star Trek.
[edit] Trekkie in the news
During the 1996 Whitewater controversy, a bookbindery employee named Barbara Adams served as an alternate juror. During the trial Adams wore a Star Trek: The Next Generation-style Starfleet Command division uniform, including a commbadge, a phaser, and a tricorder.[4]
Adams was dismissed from the trial for conducting a sidewalk interview with the television program American Journal.[4] The major news media[who?] reported (wrongfully) that she was dropped for wearing her Star Trek uniform to the trial. Adams noted she was dropped because she talked to a reporter of America Journal about her Trek uniform and not anything about the trial.[5] Although nothing was deemed as a trial enclosure violation, the rule was clearly stated: no juror was to communicate with the press in any manner.
Adams stated the judge at the trial was supportive of her. She said she believed in the principles expressed in Star Trek and found it an alternative to "mindless television" because it promotes tolerance, peace, and faith in mankind.[4]
She subsequently appeared in the documentaries Trekkies and Trekkies 2.
[edit] In popular culture
In 1986, William Shatner performed in a famous sketch on Saturday Night Live. He played himself at a Star Trek convention at which he told the Trekkies to "get a life". "For crying out loud," Shatner elaborated, "it was just a TV show!"[6] At one point, he asked Jon Lovitz' Trekker character, whom he assumed to be almost 30 years old, if he had ever kissed a girl, at which the character sadly hung his head.
Trekkies have been parodied in several films, notably Galaxy Quest, a science fiction comedy very obviously modeled on the Star Trek franchise. The main character Jason Nesmith, representing William Shatner, repeats Shatner's 1986 statement when an avid fan asks him about the operation of the fictional vessel.
One episode of Futurama called "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" was dedicated to parodying Trekkies. It included a history whereby Star Trek's fandom had grown into a religion. Eventually the Church of Star Trek had grown so strong that it needed to be abolished from the Galaxy and the words "Star Trek" were even outlawed.
The 1999 film Free Enterprise chronicled the lives of two men who grew up worshipping Star Trek and emulating Captain Kirk. Most of the movie centers on William Shatner, playing a parody of himself, and how the characters wrestle with their relationships to Star Trek.
The Broadway musical Avenue Q partially parodies Trekkies through the inclusion of a character named Trekkie Monster. This character is not a Trekkie, however, and is addicted to internet pornography.
A Trekkie featured in one episode of the television show The West Wing, during which Josh Lyman confronts the temporary employee over her display of a Star Trek pin in the White House.
The 2009 film Fanboys makes frequent references to Star Trek and the rivalry between Trekkies and Star Wars fans. William Shatner makes a cameo appearance in the film.
The Family Guy episode "Not All Dogs Go to Heaven" features a Star Trek convention and many Trekkies. One Trekkie comes to the convention with the mumps, and upon Peter Griffin seeing him, he impulsively pushes his daughter Meg into the Trekkie and forces her to take her picture with him (believing him to be in costume as an alien from Star Trek). Seeing as how Meg was not immunised, she catches the mumps from the Trekkie and ends up bedresting.
On the CBS-TV sitcom The Big Bang Theory, the four main male characters are shown to be Trekkies, playing the game of "Klingon Boggle" and resolving disputes using the game of "rock-paper-scissors-Spock." Wil Wheaton of Star Trek: The Next Generation fame has made multiple guest appearances playing himself.

Stiller's production company, "Red Hour Films", is named after an alien riot featured in the Original Series episode "The Return of the Archons". A clip of "Arena" was shown in his film, Tropic Thunder.[17] In the movie Zoolander, Stiller named the villain "Mugatu", after a similarly named creature in the original series episode "A Private Little War".[18] Stiller's 1996 film The Cable Guy features a scene where Chip and Steven duel at Medieval times, Chip chants the battle music from the episode "Amok Time" and quotes several lines from the same episode [19].

* George Lucas considers himself a Trekkie and has cited Star Trek as his inspiration for creating the Star Wars franchise. He also finds hypothetical "war" scenarios between the two franchises distasteful.[22]
* Family Guy executive producer, David A. Goodman, is a major Star Trek fan. He has written an episode of Futurama entirely devoted to Star Trek, and later four episodes of Enterprise. He even paid tribute to the 20th anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation by spoofing the cliffhanger ending of "The Best of Both Worlds, Part I" and using it as the cliffhanger ending of the 100th episode of Family Guy, "Stewie Kills Lois".
* Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy, American Dad!, and The Cleveland Show, is an avid fan.

As seen in a TV show documenting this contest, Brad proudly sat in the exhibit's captain's chair on the bridge of Enterprise-D. William Shatner, who played Captain Kirk, has appeared in several of Paisley's music videos, including 2007's "On-Line"; this song includes the line "I'm a Sci-Fi fanatic" and, in the video, Jason Alexander (playing the title character) is seen wearing Vulcan Ears and a "Beam Me Up" T-shirt while chatting on-line. Paisley also wrote and performed vocals for "Real", the closing song from Shatner's 2004 album Has Been.
* Frank Sinatra "never missed" The Next Generation.[14] Brent Spiner, the actor who played Data on the series, returned the favor by recording a tribute album called Ol' Yellow Eyes Is Back.

That's why you should wait for Matthew's to kick in.As I said,I'm no expert,but until all the card's are on the table,will we be able to see the whole hand.I'm betting on a royal flush:):):):):)
Quote:"MONEY is cheaper today than it's ever been for businesses considered viable" You're kidding,right?I'm no expert,but I'm pretty sure,with the state of the economy,lender's are calling the shot's.If the term's aren't right,than walk.That's what ETNL did.Good for them,and good for the INVESTOR'S:)
No LOC because the term's were crap.As for sale's,wait for Matthew's to kick in.If that's too complicated to understand,than I don't know what to tell you.
"Cash flow from our industry partnership announced earlier this year and cash flow from additional products we’ve brought to market are together helping us grow the best way possible: internally from sales."=ETNL "Taking on a debt instrument or funding the company through the dilution of stock."=90% of all the other OTC stocks being posted on IHUB."Go ETNL:)
Do you have any proof that something bad is about to happen,or is it just your opinion?Being a share holder,that would be of interest to me.Qoute:"All I can say is LOOK OUT, something BAD is bound to happen with the current EI management and structure in place, I am out and have NO intention of even thinking about dropping any amount of money for these indiviudals to eat off of!"
Yes,but EVERYONE does it:)
I've seen it happen with plenty of scam's,why not ETNL?

OTCBB vs. OTCQB... What You
Need To Know
A recent change to how SEC reporting issuers trade on the over-the-counter markets caused more than a little anxiety among those caught off guard. Until now, most small, fully-reporting issuers believed they were being listed exclusively on FINRA’s OTCBB®. However, unbeknownst to many OTC investors, there are many Fully-Reporting Issuers trading solely on what is commonly referred to as the “Pink Sheets”, owned and controlled by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. A restriction put in place in 2000, allowing only Fully-Reporting Issuers to trade on the OTCBB only reinforced this erroneous assumption, making it appear that they were the only OTC market where these securities could be quoted -- Not the case at all.
In fact, 98% of all FINRA licensed market makers place quotations on both the OTCBB AND on the Pink Sheet platform. Superior performance and functionality along with lower costs associated with Pink OTC versus the platform provided for OTCBB® trading by FINRA have further led many market makers to remove quotation of securities from the OTCBB platform, altogether, causing some 500 securities to be automatically "delisted" to the Pink Sheets even though they were current with their reporting obligations with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On April 5, 2010, Pink OTC created a new marketplace called the OTCQB, in an effort to assist investors in distinguishing Pink Sheet traded securities that are Fully Reporting Issuers from non-reporting issuers, while allowing recently delisted OTCBB® securities to get the
recognition that, while now trading solely on the Pink Sheets, are current with their obligations under the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and are in good standing with the SEC with regards to these obligations.
This new OTCQB marketplace will ensure that investors know that Pink OTC has many Fully-Reporting Issuers approved for trading solely on the Pink OTC platform. In the future, as long as the issuer is listed with the Pink Sheets and is current in its reporting, it will be designated as an OTCQB security. If a company is late in its reporting requirements, it would be dropped to the designation of Pink Sheets –Current Information (see link below for Pink Sheet tier system). Once current again with the SEC, the Issuer will be moved immediately back to the OTCQB marketplace.
As an interesting side note, FINRA recently has been trying to dump the OTCBB. Seems they are tiring of keeping up with it, considering their main gig as a quasi governmental organization set up to monitor and regulate SEC licensed brokerage firms and representatives, and to maintain the entire NASDAQ system!
In short, it may take awhile for investors and Issuers to come to the conclusion there is no real difference between an OTCBB® listed security and a Fully Reporting Issuer trading on the Pink Sheets now under the OTCQB designation. The recent move by many market makers to pull quotes on the OTCBB® platform causing a mass delisting to the Pink Sheets may be a precursor to the end of the importance of being listed on the OTCBB®. As the old saying goes, will the last person to leave the OTCBB® turn out the lights!
