Tech, somehow I guessed that you might know something about my question......thanks a bunch, it doesn't go unappreciated...I had to close 12-15 ads in a row before I could go on yesterday and then the whole trial over again within 30 minutes or so......
OK< I'm on the adware .....fingers crossed...Best to You..10-Z

Assistance...? my pop-up blocker works fine on everything EXCEPT "Winfixer" ads...these pop up 5 in a row, several times a day..... Anyone else having a problem with "Winfixer" ads or does anyone here have an idea how to specifically block those particular ads...? I sure would appreciate any clue, besides the obvious such as smashing my computer with an Ax. Thanks..10-Z

Will do, Bob...Happy Trails...10-Z eom

I did just finish reading the novel "The Da Vinci Code" (at Juggsys urging,thanks Juggs..!) so I should be able to crack that puzzle, I'll get some of the Best Minds on this board on it immediately.....lol....!!! 10-Z

HC,Is Cliff still hanging around...?(lol) Your question is intriuging, but afraid that I don't have a guess.....Who said that..? 10-Z PS your kind words towards me do not go un-appreciated....!!!

Jagman, I'd thought you might find that incident interesting.......as far as my Daughter picking my stocks, you're probably right in that ...she seems to be phenominally lucky, wins many contests and prizes, and earns a income derived largely from juggling the coin return levers on public vending machines.
On the other hand, I'd bet that I'd do better with almost anybody, other than myself picking my stocks......I'm just hoping that with this one I get "Lucky" enough to get a grubstake to continue on with.....!!!! lol....10-Z PS and BTW Jagman, it looks and feels as tho, if we ARE going to get "lucky" with FASC, it may be soon...!!! How about you? Are you feeling Lucky just now....?

HongCouver, I hope that you will find occasion to read my just prior post. Thanks and Best to You...10-Z

Since there seems to be no PR so far today,let me post this TRUE FASC related incident. I recently wrote to a FASC knowledgeable friend of mine, and for reasons relating to a renewed hope for FASC, this 3 yr old incident came back to my mind, so I included it in that email...here it is taken from that email which I sent a week or so ago:

3 years ago in Chinese Restaraunt.....I opened my fortune cookie after dinner and it said:

"A financial investment you have made will reward
you Handsomely"

......My wife and I had a good laugh but we couldn't help fantasizing for a few moments about FASC.......My Daughter whose 9th birthday the dinner was celebrating, had been playing with one of a pair of absoulutely normal dice from our monopoly game. .........in a very confident voice she said; "I'm
going to roll this die 4 times and it's going to come up 4
all 4 times, AND if it does your cookie fortune is going to
come true...!
I felt bad for her and told her not to even try,
that the odds of predicting a specific number AND then
rolling 4 of that exact number in a row were more
than astronomical.
She said for me not to worry. She then
proceeded to roll the die 4 seperate and single times.
the first roll was a 4 and I was surprised but I
laughed and assured her that her next roll would NOT be a 4, .....the second roll WAS a 4 and I was somewhat shocked, I asked her not to roll any more so that she wouldn't be hurt and have her sense of "magic" spoiled...... She rolled a third time and it came up 4....unbelievable..I was shaken! But even
MORE unbelievable was her fourth roll which came
up.......4...!!!! This story is absolutely true and
the die was absolutly normal, I DO swear
that.......what it means, I'm kind of afraid to
guess....or even really Hope out loud. I don't know if it's
"silly" or if it's astounding.....but fwiw, it's true....10-Z

BTW Dave, as Sam points out, a person buying in on mon. at .04-.06 would likely enjoy the advantage of having a pps average lower than probably at least 80% of the other investors already here...just a thought.....10-Z

Dave,I'm not trying to talk you in to anything,BUT if FASC were just about to finally "POP" I'd be wishing you were in on it after all the time you've suffered along with the rest of us.......Does .041 seem too high to buy in...? or even .045...? It all depends on what you expect it to do in the future.....what we may have bought or sold for in the past has no bearing what so ever on the case.....I myself have added most all of my own shares at .045 and some as high as .06......... Proving, possibly once and for all what a dummy I really am, I'll say that IF I had any more $ in my account at this time, I would not hesitate to add shares on Monday at the ASK, barring the prior release of news......
What I'm saying is; it may not necessarily be wise to stand on what may seem like "the principal of the thing", at the cost of losing what might seem the oportunity of a nice profit.
Absolutely DON'T buy at my urging....I've given all the Bad Investing Advice I care to give for one lifetime....but just don't straight-jacket your own thinking ....Where's Trader Dave when ya' need him.....? The Old Trouble-Maker...10-Z

PS....lmao.....eom

HongCouver,that can hardly be be stated TOO plainly to someone who has, in good faith, put their $ in more than one company, buying a given number of shares which represented ownership of a given % of the company,....and then been ruined and robbed with the surprise announcement that an RS has been done reducing their % of ownership from (just lets say) 1% to 1/10 or 1/100 of a present. I really really DO hope that Cal and Co. turn out to be Heros and don't consign us "old timers" to the scrap heap...There has to be a HERO somewhere....
Thank You for stating that SO plainly, on the basis of your statement I have temporarily canceled my standing reservations at both the Poor House AND the Psychiatric Ward of the Charity Hospital from where I have been posting between Shock Treatments... I hope that you will be able to continue reassuring us on that point as time goes by......I, for one need a bit of hand-holding on lthat issue.......Very Best To You...... Your Humble and Grateful Servant.....10-Z

Jagman, that's a good likeness of TR,got a fair chuckle outta that...... I myself am feeling a lot more like "Droopy Dog" these days...You remember him, don't you...? lol...10-Z

Yeah, Jag they ARE pretty Good, aren't they..? and not only that, but if you've ever actually SEEN them, You'd know that they are quite Dashing and Handsome, not to mention Debonaire........well, really they ARE Dashing and Handsome and Debonaire,regardless as to whether or not you have actually seen them yourself. Not nearly so Debonaire as Hockey Dock tho', I must hasten to add ,but that's another story which I don't have time to elaborate on at the moment as I must rush off to Wal-Mart now....I don't actually NEED anything from Wal-Mart, but I must go so that I can meet up with all the other low rent losers, such as myself, who have absolutely NOTHING better to do on a Saturday night than Hang around Wal-Mart. Hey, maybe I'll see you over there...!?!?!
Happy Trails........Good Ol' 10-Z

HongCouver,
....in March you posted this:
"Hopefully we will see a shareholders newsletter @ the FASC website. 30 minutes a week is all it would take to inform the shareholders of events/happenings at the company and the thoughts of management.
Updates from the various joint ventures would be good to see. We know Thelon and Zeo have digital cameras...........use the damn things..............show us the Zeo plant as to how it appears on March 24th."

HC, Do you imagine that no one has found 30 minutes a week to spare...? I'm not trying to be difficult, and I imagine that you are (almost) as dissappointed as I am...!?!?!? I, for one SURE would appreciate knowing SOMETHING......ANYTHING....!!!
Best to Ya'......Good Old Hard to get along with 10-Z

Yep, Better keep your eye on that Waitedg..!!!lol..oem

Waitedg, would you please e-mail me at
tenzzi@ragingbull.com
Take Care....10-Z

Bill, Sorry I'm looking in the other direction now....and I hope I'm NOT dreaming....lmao...10-Z

Jagman, the other two concerned LSI and TAR (Telephono Argentina), both were about 8 years ago.....like I said , what it means, if anything I can't guess. At least it's mildly entertaining to me, I can say that ..!! 10-Z

Bill the original post said;
"Laugh all you want, I'm laughing also...but, I have had a couple other similar dreams about the prices of other stocks I've had and odd tho it may seem both proved accurate within just a wee bit....this dream seemed much the same as those other two....I just saw the very large symbol FASC with the very large figure .025 underneath...."
Note: "both proved accurate within just a wee bit...."
I'm considering the .001 difference to be within "a wee bit"
Otherwise, I wish I'd had a bit more confidence in my own dream , as I just last week added 175k shares at .035....!!!
ALso Bill in both those previous dreams the figure proved to be the absolute lowest price that the stock dipped to............10-Z

U guys laughed,but remember my .025 Dream...!!!I count .026 as close enough to validate that dream...as I said,the two previous dreams of that nature tht I've had (re other stocks)proved true within a couple of % points.eom

TR, Yes things DO appear more reassuring here lately....even the pay increase and the bonuses might be viewed as signs of "Great Expectations" by management (THAT is something I'd MUCH prefer to be happily viewing in the past tense)......I guess that I'll just sleep a WHOLE lot sounder when OUR (us investors) equity reflects a rosier future for us all.........in the meantime, Believe me I'm hoping for the best, and I'm still all in the pot here......10-Z

well I found this:

Future Compensation of Our Officers

The Company plans to pay the following salaries in 2005, subject to the Company beginning profitable operations and generating sufficient revenues to pay the same:


Cal Kantonen Treasurer and CFO 2005 $150,000



Brian Nichols President and CEO $
150,000

2005




So it looks as tho salary raised to $150k for 2005......Ok I don't object to that, as long as; "subject to the Company beginning profitable operations and generating sufficient revenues to pay the same:"

but what about the bonuses...I didn't seem to find that part quite so easily and it's TOO HOT here today to expend too much furthereffort indoors....?

the thing IS I wasn't necessarily hoping to be quite THIS long for quite THIS length of time.......I've got my eyes shut and fingers crossed in regards to a few/a lot of the details here...lmao Best to all...10-Z

Jagman,I wouldn't care HOW big a bonus they took IF investors were simultaneously enjoying a bonus of sorts as evidenced by a much more lofty PPS..........
I was under the impression that the amount of the bonus itself was $20k. , that added to a salary of $100k bringing the total to $120k. ....Now I readily admit that I may be in error there, as I said that was only my impression after briefly and half-heartedly skimming the figures....maybe I was SO shocked at the time that I went into denial and am just now snapping out of it.....10-Z

Wyo, I apologize for my ignorance, but are you saying they gave themselves a raise in salary to $120k then and ADDITIONALLY awarded themselves a seperate $100k bonus...?????
Thanks......10-Z PS I'm not arguing the point just trying to establish in my mind the fact.

Bill was the bonus amount $100k? isn't it the salary that is $100k, with the amount of the actual bonus much less......also I seem to have the impression that there was a proviso that the bonuses would depend on the Co having adequate income to justify and/or allow for their issuance..?
Not arguing, just wondering, I admit that I hardly spend much time pouring over any reports....and the mention of a bonus didn't send me reeling.......I WANT management to have a BIG bonus if they pull this off and treat us fairly in the bargian.......Best to You....10-Z

Jagman,UR posts r getting kinda tiresome and one dimensional. Sounds as tho you are pretty unhappy about something. You claim to own no shares of fasc, is that not right ...? So you can't be unhappy that the price is languishing.....Are you feeling unhappy that the price seems not have gone directly back to .025 yet...?
Well, in any case, I do hope you get your color back soon...10-Z

Jagman, your slip is showing...!eom

Re Mitsu, FWIW keep in mind that it is the 3rd largest Corporation on the face of the planet.....IF they were to adopt fasc and the KDS, it could give one plenty of fodder for pleasant speculation.....10-Z PS..I crack me up..!

More cheerfuly, I had another dream last night wherein I saw the price of FASC at .09
Over the past years I've had only two other of these dreams, both indicated the LOW price which those two stocks shrotly thereafter attained very accurately (within a few % points). Then recently I had the dream of fasc at .025.....I wondered if that could mean (if it meant anything at all) that .025 could have been the low and NOT that we would necessarily return to .025.
Now last nights dream,as I say; IF it means anything at all, MUST obvioulsy indicate an appreciation.
I post this only for what it's worth...but as I said; I've had only 2 previous similar dreams and BOTH proved to be accurate. Daydream believer......10-Z
PS what would be wrong with a one day (or two)increase of 75-100%....to kind of get us started on the right foot?

still no evidence of NEW investors here, not a single new poster on either board .......and to be realistic the little spike we had, WAS in fact little in both volume and duration....this does NOT indicate a multitude of excited persons just finding about the wonders of FASC....
I keep saying this and people who don't want to believe that every day with news or a mild upturnof the pps is NOT the beginning of a "Run Amuck Penny Run", keep asking me if I would post on these boards if I'd just found fasc.....the answer is, obviously and without a doubt YES, I would.....I've posted on plenty of worse (hard to believe)boards before,and so would plenty of other people......... EVERYONE but us here are not necessicarliy shrinking violets.
I'll repeat my firm belief that in order for the PPS to rise and remain above this level, noise has to be made by the CO.
Investors have to be made aware of FASCs existence and or its promise. When new investors, in any numbers, DO enter the fray evedince of their presence will be seen in volume, pps, AND some actual NEW posters on these boards.
Opinion 47-b.......10-Z BTW.....please do not try to interpret my comment to mean that I believe all or even most new investors will post on these boards...they won't, but some small percentage WILL, and I believe that is a fact.....

Hi Gary, Thanks...! kind'a slow but at least up!eom

Terry.please also follow Will Rogers advice and "Only buy stocks that go up..!" Best to Ya'..10-Z

Waitedg, you are a good guy and I honestly wish you the very best....personally I believe that it's way too early to celebrate yet here.....we're not even back to the .045 that seemed so depressingly low for so depressingly long....I don't really myself understand just what all the enthusiasm is based on at this exact moment other than the large volume of the past few days......as I read it we have sold ONE of the new machines in Maylasia with some comment about 5 more to be bought.....but these other 5 do not seem to be as yet substantiated, as far as I can determine....AND of that ONE machine sold I suppose that FASC gets 1/2 the profits plus perhaps a royalty of some sort (or not)....despite my cautious comments I am hoping for the best here, but as they say, prepared for the worst....the story hasn't been told here yet tho'...so at this point, who knows..?
In any case best to you Dave,and go IDCO ...10-Z

Jagman,you're a pretty funny guy..!! lmao 10-Z eom

If palm husk, why not bagasse..? I do believe that bagasse was put thru a test run but have not heard anything further ....!?!? http://www.answers.com/bagasse&r=67

Wyo,that's funny ...the OS IS scarey enough without added negative spin........as for the dilution stopping, I'd be mighty glad to hear confirmation of the sale of those other 5 mf777s, as well as news of the commencement of UZP plant operations, plus perhaps news from AGES (remember them,,?).....THEN maybe I'd be at least a little less concerned about dilution......10-Z

Jagman,NOTHING would surprise me anymore, but for now lets at least hope you're wrong...! I guess it's like "they" say expect the worst and hope for the best...
Best to You BTW,,,,,,,,,,,,10-Z

Jagman that's NOT what they say when asked,unless of course they have also been instructed to lie...! 10-Z

Seton,it's called "PACIFIC" stock transfer because guess why?
It's on the pacific coast....!!! yes and they open at 9am 5 days aweek ....pacific time...! they answer the phone promptly and courteously....and claim to tell you the exact OS as of close the previoius day....! maybe you dialed the wrong number....! Hope that helps....10-Z
or as TR most humorously suggested you could just keep guessing...it's ever so much more entertaining...and makes it a hecka lot easier to "prove" your point..!
