The IRS would have to be awfully boared. :)
I can't believe an Ihub member would ever cheat on their taxes. The IRS can get any trading info. from your brokerage whenever they want to in order to audit your filings.
Good job artfink...... Keep up the count. I think it's a good thing to do. Some people may have underlying reasons for not wanting the count posted.
Now how would the IRS know our screen names? Don't think they worry too much about us small investors to set up a sting operation to catch us little guys. I think an open share count is a good idea.
Can't get an accurate count via pvt. email as we aren't all paying members to use private email.

Sirius Stiletto: The forgotten Wi-Fi player
Door: Cathy Lu
Sirius's new portable player is now available for preorder on various Websites, including Crutchfield (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-yj0dQZ0bAYS/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?search=sirius+stiletto&i=607SL100). The Stiletto is Sirius's first truly portable device that can receive satellite music on the go. XM's had that capability forever, so what really intrigues is the built-in WiFi, which allows you to stream music from Sirius's Website whenever you're in range of a router. And according to Wired News, that also means you'll likely be able to buy tunes from Yahoo Music whenever you hear a song you like.
Other than integrated WiFi and antenna, the Stiletto includes 100 hours of MP3, WMA, or Sirius music storage, plus two batteries (one standard, one extended). The Stiletto costs US$350 and will be shipping at the end of September or early October. But you can preorder it now, so if you want to stay cutting edge, hop to it

Imperia Entertainment Announces ``Never Submit'' Signature Series Clothing Line & Gear In Connection With Movie
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 6, 2006--Imperia Entertainment (Pink Sheets:IPRE) President James Hergott announced today a signature series custom clothing and gear merchandising line will be created in connection with the mixed martial arts (MMA) movie "Never Submit."
Hergott will collaborate with TapouT Magazine Executive Vice President Bobby Pittman to determine what the line will consist of. Popular items expected to debut in the series include apparel items for both men and women and will feature t-shirts, hoodies, beanies, hats, tank tops, jackets, rashguards and shorts, as well as intimate attire such as thongs and boxers. The "Never Submit" signature series will also include popular gear and accessory items like bags, wallets, bandanas, hand-towels, patches, keychains, jewelry and water bottles.
Hergott comments" "'Never Submit' is the right project, at the right time, aimed at the right demographic for Imperia Entertainment. The goal is to develop a quality line of clothing and gear to carry the 'Never Submit' branding. The styles must be practical, look and fit great, appeal to hardcore and casual MMA fans as well as offer a distinctive tie in to the movie. Collateral items and branding seen in movies influence buyers to purchase similar items in the marketplace, especially in the areas of clothing and related merchandise. The sport of MMA and the apparel and gear associated with it are insanely popular with the teen/young adult demographic 'Never Submit' will target, but the availability and styles are very limited. It makes perfect sense to take advantage of the opportunity to create our own signature series and market that brand accordingly."
TapouT Magazine will showcase the "Never Submit" signature apparel and merchandise line on a virtual store they are developing for their website, as well as in their magazine and at their events booth. The signature series items will also be available at www.neversubmit.com and www.mmamovie.com, both controlled by Imperia Entertainment, who also plans to unveil "Never Submit" designs at several promotional events planned in connection with promoting the movie.
"TapouT Magazine and everyone associated with the publication are quality-conscious in everything they do. Their contributors include some of the top talent MMA has to offer, covering absolutely every facet of this sport. The line we come up with will be put through the ultimate test during the filming of 'Never Submit' and if it makes it through that, the line will be good enough to put our name on it," adds Hergott. "The actors and fighters who are featured in the movie will wear the 'Never Submit' signature series gear and apparel in order to further promote the merchandise line. This is expected to bring greater exposure to both the movie and the merchandise line."
ABOUT NEVER SUBMIT
"Never Submit" is a movie which portrays the thrill of victory and agony of defeat within the sport of mixed martial arts. "Never Submit" takes place in a tournament setting similar to the movie "Bloodsport," but rather than exploiting MMA as underground no-holds-barred fighting, it seeks to portray the sport in a realistic and positive light. The movie will be an inspirational tale similar to "Rocky," but the lead character in "Never Submit" is an educated young man, rather than a beaten-down punch-drunk fighter. Mr. Hergott comments: "MMA is a very intellectual sport. A physical chess match. I want to portray the sport and its fighters as intelligent rather than dumb brawlers, as is often done in other movies."
Already attached to the project is Executive Producer Tarquin Gotch ("Home Alone" and "Curly Sue") and cinematographer Peter Benison, CSC ("Chicago" and "Silent Hill"). Imperia Entertainment president James Hergott authored and is slated to direct "Never Submit."
Imperia announced on August 14th that it received permission to use fighters from the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in the movie. "Never Submit" has a MySpace page, which has been rapidly growing in popularity and targets the same young adult demographic that MMA appeals to and can be found at: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=102048317 (Due to its length, this URL may need to be copied/pasted into your Internet browser's address field. Remove the extra space if one exists.)
On Aug 15th, Imperia announced a nationwide talent search including auditions being held at a multitude of the top MMA gyms throughout the country, including S.L.O Kickboxing and The Pit, Cobra Kai Jiu-Jitsu, Renzo Gracie Academy, Jorge Gurgel Mixed Martial Arts Academy and Gracie Barra Academy Lake Forest and Countryside. Additional locations will be included in future press releases.
On Sept 5th, Imperia announced a strategic alliance with TapouT Magazine to partner together for "Never Submit" and to work together on a cross-country promotional/audition tour. Exact dates, times and criteria for each role to be cast will be announced in a future press release.
All audition and sponsorship inquiries should be directed to Cindy Ortiz via e-mail at: cindy@imperiaentertainment.com.

Blackout Media Corp. Issues Letter to Shareholders
Wednesday September 6, 9:15 am ET
TORONTO--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 6, 2006 -- Blackout Media Corp. (Other OTC:BKMP.PK - News) announced today that it has released a Letter to Shareholders from President Sandy Winick updating the shareholders on the progress made at the Company. The text of the letter appears below.
http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/060906/0160260.html
Dear Shareholders:
Blackout Media's main asset is still its 20% interest in The Fight Network and all its various brand extensions through Blackout Communications Inc.
It has been our goal from day one and still is our goal to build The Fight Network into a globally recognized brand that combatant sports fans will come to identify as "the Source" for fight sports events and entertainment. Here are a few of the highlights that have been implemented to achieve that long term goal:
Television
We have now successfully launched our service on the following cable and satellite providers in Canada:
Rogers
StarChoice
Videotron
Cogeco
Source Cable
Mountain Cable
Telus
Aurora Cable
Bobcaygen Cable
Campbell River Cable
Cable Axion
Compton Cable
Cross Country
Cable TV Slave Lake
Cable Cable
Davia Private Cable
Fenelon Falls
Mascon Communications
Milk River Cable
Norcom Telecom
New North Networks
North Nova Cable
Northwestel Cable
Rush Communications
Sunshine Communications
Westman Communications
Whistler Cable
Yourlink
We are soon to be launching this fall on the remaining cable and satellite operators in Canada, bringing the total number of carriers to about 50. Once this occurs we will have Canada's nearly 5,000,000 digital households.
In addition to that we have been working with Trajectory Sports of New York in pursuing carriage in the United States and we are in talks with a number of operators including:
DirectTV
Verizon - FIOS
ATT - U-verse
Lodgenet
On Command
Dish Network
Bresnan
ADVERTISEMENT
We have expanded our efforts in pursuing carriage and business opportunities in the United States. We strive to have some exciting new announcements by year's end.
Fall Line-Up -- we have secured a number of new promotions from around the world to preview this coming fall on the network, these new shows will give us some of the most premium content in Boxing, Mixed Martial Arts and Wrestling found anywhere in the world.
We have also been in touch with companies in Australia, England, and Panama about launching the service in those countries.
Progress has been significant with the Australian initiative and we should see some results in the upcoming months ahead.
Neilsen Media Research
The company is performing very well in its digital category; our position against the other specialty digital channels in Canada is strong and should only get stronger as we expand our subscriber base. Our goal is to become the number one digital channel in Canada, and we think we can do it.
Fight Network Radio
We have been actively moving our 24/7 Fight Radio concept forward where we are nearly ready to roll this out to the market. We have been in contact with XM and Sirius about the possibilities of putting this on satellite radio. We are looking to have it available on broadband once we have launched.
The LAW has moved to 1010 CFRB in Toronto which is the Number 1 talk radio station in Canada. The move has been very good for both us and them.
Fight Mobile
FIGHT MOBILE is now available in the United States on Verizon Wireless' Mobile Web 2.0 network, Sprint and Cingular. Other second-tier carriers are preparing to launch the U.S. service in the near future, while in Canada we have successful launched on Telus and we are looking to being added by the other tier-one carriers before the year end. When fully deployed, FIGHT MOBILE has the potential of reaching over 220,000,000 (Two Hundred and Twenty Million) cell phones in North America.
Our partners in FIGHT MOBILE are also working on getting the service into other parts of the world and we should see some results in the upcoming months ahead on that initiative.
In addition to the news component of FIGHT MOBILE, we are also working on video content and will be outlining that product in the next quarter. We are expecting to launch the video on mobile phones in the first quarter of 2007.
Fight Network Online
The FIGHT STORE has been launched by The Fight Network; demand is strong and thus far sales have exceeded targets. We are expecting the holiday season to be strong with some important announcements with respect to the Store and some exciting licensing opportunities to be forthcoming this fall.
Stock Buy-Back
The share buy-back is still in full force and effect and should market conditions exist where funds should be allocated to furthering the buyback then that is exactly what will happen.
There are other opportunities that we are looking at, which will be released to the shareholders as they evolve.
I truly believe that this will be a great year for the company and the future is looking very bright and extremely optimistic.
Thank you.
Sandy Winick,
President - Blackout Media Corp.

Well Put !!
Getting tired of being long and watching pumpers making 2x their money off of us during the last several years. Put a 20,000,000 share sell order in at .0002 to get a free ride and buying back at .0001 as the pumpers do. If I can't beat them guess I got to join them.
The company can change this if they really want to. Till then.... I'll do what SMMW hasn't done for their Stock Holders!!
Happy Trails
What's up with this post? At 55 years old I've seen this on paper at least 15 times. Guess we moved it up to the email level. Very scary. Oprah isn't a hero of mine...our Troops are.
Happy Trails
Don't think you should believe all you read on the BB....some people lie. No offense to anyone but nobody actually knows how many shares each of us own or have bought. Could be all BS. :)
If I had 10 grand to put into this kind of stock I wouldn't be advertising it.
Common sense people. Just my thoughts. :)
Happy Trails
As far as I know ...I don't think anyone has found phone numbers for these TV stations or their programing schedules. This was discussed a few days ago. :(
I'm hoping the best for SMMW but it ain't look'in good.
Guess if pinkies were easy we would all be rich.
Happy Trails
Dang...I'll only be a an 80 thousandaire at .01 :(
Can I still come to the party?
Happy Trails
Too bad we aren't playing on a fair playing field. The bullies usually win.
Happy Trails
Looks like a simple mistake to me.....How many small holders canceled their .0002 sell orders for half of their shares when they saw this simple mistake (.0009) that happens every so often?
Just often enough for the MM to move to the front of the line again!! Funny this happens every so often? Some say to ruin a chart... don't think so.
Being a newbie at this for the last year and a working man that can't sit at his computer.... I'm finding you have to think outside the company box. Starting to catch on now ???
I believe in SMMW but do I really? Got to figure out this game as I like a challenge.
I think I'm way too honest for these pinks sometimes. You can only do so much DD and then the big boys take you over.
Looks like we are going to roll the dice with SMMW again for a month or so?
Happy Trails All
Have you tried calling Summusworks office to get the phone numbers and programming info. of the TV Stations? They should have all of this info. I would think.

I'll buy more at .0001. Got any left?
Too bad everyone won't hold till .0003

Think I must have got them
Guess it's me...just bought another 9,000,000 today.
Happy Trails :)
bought 9,000,000 today @.0001

The guy that started Say It In whatever... has to finish what his original intent was. Got a gut feeling he is really trying to a good job but has sucked in getting people to take care of his blind side while his back is turned making movies.
Seems pretty clear to me since I have decided to give him one more chance as I don't see it as his fault. It's the people he is listening to that have hurt him the most.
Too bad a guy gets to do what he wants for a living and be very happy...then along comes something he didn't go to school for, like the sharkes that take your dream down. Say It In Legal Stuff is probably hindering this man more than we can see.
I'm sticking with him. :)
Happy Trials
Don't know what everyone is talking about hold back???
Bought another 999,999 shares online this week at .0012.
Went thru in 5 min. with Hewitt (Their fees are very high..like 5% of the trade for pinks)
But got a feeling ol'IPRE will come through. :)

Found an interesting article posted on the IPRE board. Thought I'd share it with our board. Happy Trails
DJ IN THE MONEY: OTC Short Data Don't Back Abuse Claims
Tuesday , August 01, 2006 11:59 ET
"The distribution of unregistered securities via the secondary market, not abusive market-maker short selling is the problem," Cromwell Coulson, chief executive of Pink Sheets LLC, said in a telephone interview.
By Carol S. Remond
A Dow Jones Newswires Column
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--The NASD turned on the lights on the often nebulous world of the over-the-counter bulletin board last week when it started reporting short interest in those securities.
The data add transparency to shares of small capitalization companies traded on the OTCBB and Pink Sheets, but it has also led to a significant revelation; short selling is relatively limited for most companies.
Especially so for those companies which over the years have alleged a short selling conspiracy to keep their stock prices artificially depressed.
Insiders of small companies trading on the OTCBB and Pink Sheets have long complained that the shares of their companies unduly suffer from abusive short selling. Some of these companies have brought lawsuits and publicly challenged Wall Street firms and regulators, which they accuse of complicity with short sellers. These suits and the publicity surrounding them have sometimes attracted investors hoping that a short squeeze could push prices higher.
Turns out, those short squeezes are unlikely.
"The distribution of unregistered securities via the secondary market, not abusive market-maker short selling is the problem," Cromwell Coulson, chief executive of Pink Sheets LLC, said in a telephone interview.
Coulson petitioned the Securities and Exchange Commission in January 2005 to require short interest reporting of all OTCBB securities, similarly to the monthly data already reported by the NASDAQ and New York Stock Exchange.
Coulson highlighted in his letter to the SEC that although companies often blame naked short selling for a market decline, other activities are responsible for the price drop. Among those activities, Coulson said, is selling by people who purchased stock in private placements, sometimes ahead of the registration of this stock.
"The lack of short interest reporting in OTC equity securities causes confusion on the part of investors and issuers, and inhibits proper regulatory oversight," Coulson wrote in his letter.
Cameron Funkhouser, senior vice president for market regulation at the NASD, said that the new data will provide much needed transparency. "This is a positive event, particularly in the OTC arena where there is a history of disclosure vagueness," he said.
Short sellers typically borrow shares to sell them, hoping that they will be able to replace them with shares bought at a lower price later. Trading without a borrowing agreement is called naked short selling. It's illegal for most investors, but legal for firms that make markets in stocks by bringing liquidity to the market.
Big Gap Between Hype And Reality
While a number of companies have over the years alleged that their stocks have improperly been driven down by abusive short selling, the newly released data tell another story.
Take Jag Media Holdings Inc. (JAGH), a company that became a trailblazer when it unsuccessfully tried to exit the global clearing system managed by the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation, or DTCC, and subsequently sued more than 100 brokerage firms in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. It accused the financial institutions of market manipulation and securities fraud. That suit was dismissed in 2004 after a federal judge found that Jag Media didn't have a viable claim, but the company remains a poster child for those who believe that abusive short selling is a plague that needs to be eradicated.
Yet as of July 25, only 15,256 shares of Jag Media were sold short - less than 1% of its outstanding common stock. It would take less than a day to cover these positions. Jag Media didn't immediately respond to two telephone messages.
What about another, more recent "Get Shorty" candidate, Nexia Holdings Inc. (NEXH). The Salt Lake City real estate company informed investors on July 26, shortly before the NASD short selling data became public, that it believed that it had fallen victim to abusive short selling practices "like so many other micro cap companies."
But according to the data collected by NASD, there were a mere 37 shares of Nexia sold short as of July 25, which given the company's 3.9 billion shares outstanding, should hardly affect its stock price.
Nexia Chief Executive Richard Surber wasn't immediately available to comment.
And what about Universal Express Inc. (USXP), a Florida luggage delivery company which in 2004 sued the SEC in an attempt to prevent the commission from filing charges against it. The company claims that it was victimized by naked short selling. The SEC later filed charges against the company and some of its insiders, alleging that they issued more than 500 million shares illegally in a period of three years.
NASD's data show 1.9 million shares of Universal Express sold short as of July 25. Given Universal Express' 8 billion-plus shares outstanding and average daily volume of more than 30 million shares on most days, that also shouldn't present any unbearable weight on the company's stock price.
Universal Express' general counsel, Chris Gunderson, wasn't immediately available to comment.
Same goes for Global Links Corp. (GLLC), a development stage company that attracted much attention last year when it was used as an example of illegal short selling by U.S. Senator Robert Bennett. R-Utah, during a Senate hearing on a new SEC short selling rule dubbed REG SHO.
According to data collected by NASD, there were 6,851 shares of Global Links sold short as of July 25, less than 1% of Global Links' 15 million common shares outstanding. It would take less than one day to cover these short positions.
Nobody answered the telephone at the number listed on Global Links' last quarterly report filed with the SEC. An email inquiring about the short selling data released by NASD was not immediately answered by the Las Vegas company.
And when it comes to Vyta Corp. (VYTC), previously known as Nanopierce Technologies Inc., the finding is the same. Despite the company's repeated claims that its stock has been abused by short sellers, there were only 1,359 shares of Vyta sold short as of July 25, shares that could be covered in less than one day.
Like Jag Media, Nanopierce filed suit to make its claim of abusive short selling. Nanopierce is appealing a federal judge's decision to dismiss its complaint against DTCC. The judge in that case found that Nanopierce's claim that DTCC's stock-borrow program facilitated the naked short selling of the company's shares is preempted by federal law.
A person answering the telephone at Vyta's Colorado office said nobody would be available to talk about the short selling data for a week.
NASD's Funkhouser said that it will take some time to review the short selling data received from NASD member firms. "We believe the data is accurate, but it will take a few months to identify potential gaps," he said.
The first batch of short selling on the OTC contained data on almost 7,000 securities, but in reality there are tens of thousands of OTC symbols out there, some of which are dormant.
Although the data may not be complete, it may not be too early for investors to take notice: Before taking a company's claim of abusive short selling at face value, check the trading data before betting for that magical short squeeze.

I'll own one share.... hope they are worth a million dollars per share. :) :)
Anyone know what one share of "The Wood Explorer, Inc." is worth?
Oh Yes....going very long here. Our day will come if we hold.
