Jim's been looking for one. Evidently there's a video of an interview floating around out there somewhere.
I thought you'd find it sickening. But here on the IHub board they're sucking it up.
lol, because she's supposed to be doing this in real time. So you could prepare exactly what she's making in half an hour. People who've tried it say it isn't possible.
You should have seen her Christmas Special. It was pretty disturbing. She was pronouncing the same words different ways each time she used them, slurring a little, and dropping things. A wonder she didn't set herself on fire. If I'd been the Food TV producers, I wouldn't have aired it.
Hard to tell if she's improved since then; I don't think we've yet seen any shows filmed since mid-autumn. BUT she'll be on Iron Chef sometime this month or next. That'll be a definite Don't Miss...
Yes, she's looking rather puffy today, isn't she? The show must have been filmed last summer; she's wearing her engagement ring but not her wedding ring.
Haddock is boring.
Dont want to get into serious discussions here but have you ever heared about naked shorting problem?
I've been following it with some amusement for years. Most of it is bs made up by unsuccessful CEOs who don't want to take responsibility for their incompetence and/or greed. Ammerman's recent PR is a clear example of that.
Did you follow GLKC?
Yes. There wasn't any naked short position in it, but for some reason most people didn't realize that. Before they did that reverse split they issued a lot of S-8 stock that DID NOT reverse with the rest of the common. So in reality there was plenty of stock in the market at all times. This has been explained many times, on many boards, but it seems that many still don't get it.
The naked shorting problem is to obvious these days that it can simply be put aside as something unreal.
Some naked shorting occurs now and then, but usually not when the Get Shorty bunch thinks it does. The real problem, and it's a big one, is toxic financing. But management is always complicit in shorting that results from the issuance of toxic paper, and they don't want to admit to that.
Does that idiot Sandy think people wore gloves AT tea parties and not merely TO them?
I just couldn't resist. Actually they come from Atlanta. Marbles are interesting collectibles, but they're very complicated. I have a couple of books, and it's obvious that it'd take years before you had any kind of expertise.
Have any of your family or business partner's ever been convicted of any crimes Janice?
Nope.
You make me blush, Gump.
HOW HARD IS IT to make icing from scratch???
Damn, I missed most of it up to now; got a phone call. But she seems to be making a tablescape with her grandmother's hat, which she probably bought yesterday at Kmart.
Do try it. Maybe an appetizer portion the first time, to see if you like it.
I love the eel stuff. VERY good.
Then why not just DO a 2:1 forward split? It isn't that; it's plain vanilla dilution. A forward split isn't, because all the new shares are distributed on the same day. At the moment of the split, the share price isn't affected. It's merely halved, in the case of a 2:1.
What Pearl proposes--having utterly screwed up her two previous efforts--is different. People will convert at different moments, so the o/s of the underlying will change constantly. And, I might add, unless Pearl tells us about it, we won't know what the o/s is at any given time.
I'm also inclined to wonder whether she'll really allow immediate conversion and free-trading status. Some preferred stock becomes 144 stock upon conversion.
When asked if any of her relatives or business partners had ever been convicted of criminal acts, she was pretty evasive, wasn't she?
Beatcha! I've got two within about a block from me. Both are quite good, and both do takeout too.
I believe sashimi has practically no calories at all.
I think I'll put out a PR stating that I have decided not to pursue the the nomination for President of the United States.
Good idea! That could start some interesting rumors.
In the Depression we had these joo joobs .. candy. They are still around to-day but I believe they are called jelly babies.
Far as I know, they're still called jujubes.
Dibs were small things made out of clay that we had in our games of marbles.
I have some mid-19th century clay marbles. Painted. They're quite attractive. Probably they were yours once upon a time.
"Gibble"?? What's a gibble?
Do you think these Task Force guys would let Urban still hang around if he had no shares ?
Of course they would. If everything goes down the tubes, they'll have to have somebody to blame.
"When the dividend distribution occurs on March 31, 2006, market makers that nakedly sold shares short will not be able to deliver the 1000 preferred shares for every common share shorted to the designated shareholders."
As if. I get so tired of these feeble excuses for poor performance. Little Pearl is creating a preferred class with 30 TRILLION shares outstanding, and she's whining about naked shorts?
Gimme a break.
I seem to remember a few here that said it would never get to 400 billion??!!
As usual, your memory is faulty.
Now now, Gump. Read the following, and let us know what you think about Pearlasia's little mine:

GMC Holding draws SEC scrutiny and temporary suspension
2006-03-08 20:32 ET - Street Wire
Also Street Wire (U-*SEC) U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
by Lee M. Webb
GMC Holding Corp., a retooled perpetual motion promotion trading on the scandal-plagued pink sheets, has drawn a temporary suspension from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC issued the 10-day suspension against the non-reporting, Florida-based pink sheet promotion on March 8.
According to the U.S. regulator, it appears that there is a lack of current and accurate information regarding GMC because it is delinquent in its periodic filings.
That may be a bit of an understatement. Indeed, as previously reported by Stockwatch, GMC has not made any regulatory filings since June 30, 1998.
The SEC also has questions "regarding the accuracy of GMC's assertions to investors in company press releases and on the Internet" about the proposed sale of the company's REMAT technology and other matters.
"REMAT" is an acronym for GMC's esoteric Rare Earth Magnetic Amplification Technology, the ballyhooed centerpiece of the company's promotion.
As previously reported by Stockwatch, GMC, which has a history of promotional puffery, spun out a tale about the pending sale of its REMAT-based "cold motor" technology on Feb. 8, claiming that the deal could be worth as much as $500-million. (All amounts are in U.S. dollars.)
"Preliminary negotiations indicate a transaction in the $350-$500 million range," the pink sheet company claimed in its Feb. 8 news release.
GMC went on to claim that it planned to distribute 96 per cent of the money from the pending sale to its shareholders.
Given that GMC claims to have 60 million shares outstanding, a transaction in the touted range of $350-million to $500-million would result in a hefty distribution of $5.60 per share to $8 per share to the pink sheet company's shareholders.
Stockwatch contacted GMC's president Bruce McKenzie with some questions about the touted deal and other matters on Feb. 13.
Among other things, Stockwatch asked Mr. McKenzie some questions about the company's earlier perpetual motion promotion, which was ramped up last summer.
Mr. McKenzie attempted to put some distance between the company's new focus and the perpetual motion promotion, suggesting that "a marketing guy" who is no longer with the company was present when some peculiar over unity observations were made and "ran with it before anybody could control it."
While Mr. McKenzie did not identify the "marketing guy" who ran with the promotion last July, GMC's enthusiastic spokesman at the time was William J. Windsor. Mr. Windsor, an ex-convict and securities fraudster, is no longer with the company.
Texan Dan York, whose eclectic experience ranges from acting as the selling agent for a purported $20-million Rubens, briefly on sale through e-Bay, to previously running an Internet chat site devoted to a now-revoked outrageous pink sheet promotion, CMKM Diamonds Inc., currently acts as GMC's investor relations spokesman.
In any event, Mr. McKenzie went on to say that investors would not be hearing any perpetual motion or over unity claims from him.
While that may very well be, those claims still appear on a least one of GMC's companion websites and the company has not officially backed away from the earlier claims in subsequent news releases.
Moreover, some of GMC's Internet followers, including investors who claim to have seen the REMAT motor in operation, are convinced that the company has a greater than unity device that runs without external power.
Turning to some other matters, Stockwatch also asked Mr. McKenzie about GMC's current financial condition, a subject that is also of concern to the SEC, but the company's president seemed taken aback by the question and declined to comment.
When asked about the status of an audit that was announced last August, Mr. McKenzie said that the accounting firm reportedly hired last year was tied up with other large businesses and GMC was in the process of transferring the work to two other firms.
"Hopefully we'll have all our auditing done in the next three to four weeks," Mr. McKenzie told Stockwatch more than three weeks ago.
Stockwatch also asked Mr. McKenzie some questions about the company's most recent promotion, the touted sale of its REMAT-based cold motor technology.
Among other things, Stockwatch asked Mr. McKenzie just how the reported negotiations with unidentified "multiple corporate entities" including "S&P 500 corporations" had been initiated and how they were progressing.
"They are in negotiations right now and we've been assisted by, let's say, positioned people in high power," Mr. McKenzie replied rather vaguely. "That's the best way I can describe it to you."
Mr. McKenzie was also a bit vague when asked about how the company had come up with the $350-million to $500-million price tag touted in the news release.
"We've had verbal evaluations on our technology and now we're actually going to have meetings in the next two days for written validation and confirmation of those numbers," GMC's president told Stockwatch on Feb. 13.
A week after the Stockwatch interview, GMC announced that it had "finalized a short list of the industry's most formidable corporate valuators" to provide an independent valuation of the company's "cold motor/coil technology" and planned to make a final decision by the end of the month.
Nothing more was heard about that until March 7 when the company announced that it had hired a New York law firm "to assist in the negotiations regarding the asset sale of its REMAT cold motor/coil technology" and was "in the final stages of engaging the independent corporate valuator for the purpose of valuating its cold motor/coil technology."
It remains to be seen just how much light, if any, the SEC investigation will shed upon GMC's esoteric alternative energy technology, touted $500-million deal, share structure, financial condition and other matters.
It also remains to be seen whether the SEC will follow up the 10-day suspension with an administrative proceeding against the pink sheet company.
Meanwhile GMC shareholders, including investors who piled into the stock at prices as high as $2.30 per share over the past few weeks as the company spun out its retooled promotion, will be left cooling their heels until at least March 24 when trading resumes after the temporary suspension.
In the likely event the company does not satisfy the U.S. regulator's concerns before the suspension ends, GMC will be relegated to the "grey market" and, if the usual pattern is followed, the rush to the exits when trading resumes may be fast and furious.
GMC last traded on March 7, closing at $1.33 ahead of the 10-day SEC suspension.

I did see that Adobe is now touting something he calls a "Securities Valuation Office Agreement." He says payment will likely come in this manner.
He certainly has a lively imagination.
Surely you must have a Japanese restaurant nearby. Sushi's good for you, delicious, and, though filling, very low in calories. Years ago I used to go to a Japanese restaurant in New York. They had the calorie count on the menu. I always ordered the "Super sushi-sashimi plate", which took about an hour to eat, at least if you were making conversation along with it. How many calories? 450.
On the contrary. I've forgotten more about how penny stocks work than Ammerson is likely ever to learn.
What he said in that PR is utter gibberish.
Yeah, but.....it's illegal for a US run company to pay bribes overseas.
Alas, Gump doesn't seem to want to talk about any mining stocks except CMKX. The day GWGO put out its eight PRs I suggested he take a look but no go.
lol, point taken. But at least they know how to run a business, unlike Pearl.
Did you notice the part of the 211 in which she said they'll be giving 3-4% of their gross to the Phillipine government?
Does that mean what I think it does?
If the company, as represented by the Task Force, had wanted to inform shareholders properly, they'd have gone about it just as they'd have gone about sending a proxy statement. And everyone would have been notified.
But I think they didn't want to do that. If the cert pull fails, they can always use the people who weren't informed as an excuse.
Before you take the plunge, I suggest you read that Form 211. Parts of it are highly problematic.
PAIM isn't being shorted naked or otherwise. For God's sake, it's another big diluter.
And as noted, Pearl ain't exactly an upstanding citizen. WHY do you always have to find excuses for crooks running crappy companies?
LOLOL!!
I bought in a couple of days ago just because Janice was trying to bash it.
Smart move. Pearlasia was, and possibly is, the president of the Dominion of Melchizedek. The DoM is a criminal enterprise.
Would you knowingly buy stock in a company whose officers were present or former Mafiosi?
The brokerages aren't the crooks here, Gump. You know perfectly well who the crooks are, but you're playing their game anyway.
These negativos forget that Urban and all the rest of the insiders still own shares.
And I'll say the same to you, Gump: as of April 2005 they had very few shares. I really don't think they were dumb enough to buy more after that.
If they own 75% then we are over.
They don't. Didn't you bother to read the shareholder and issuance lists?
Get a load of this:

Another 400 billion is Urban and insiders. So there were 3.8 trillion shares total, legitimate and illigitimate. 7.6 trillion dollars is the total settlement.

Update by Welmetfellow
http://forums.christiantraders.com/viewthread.php?tid=6029&page=1itas:
This means the total shareholder count is going to be much higher than 33,000.
I doubt that. You seriously expect another 14K people or MORE to send in certs over the next seven days, when it's taken them more than four months to get as far as they have done?
In any case, the number of shareholders (or accounts, more properly) is irrelevant. The ONLY thing that counts is what proportion of the o/s their holdings represent.
Etrade has said several times that they'll be finished sending out certs by the 10th. I suspect this will be the last large chunk of stock to be faxed in. And it won't be enough.
I thought so. Stomping off in a huff doesn't do much to improve one's learning curve.
Can't you be bothered to read the posts you missed? It's not as if there're hundreds of them.

Also the employees of paychest arnt factored in the total employees,however they may be considered a subsidiary,and viewd as such.
According to the Form 211, PayChest has ONE employee.
