as part of the permanent fix.
you have to be impressed with someone that averaged

Pants in the family
Mike was going to be married to Karen, so his father sat him down for a little fireside chat......He says, "Mike, let me
tell you something. On my wedding night in our honeymoon suite,
I took off my pants and handed them to your mother and said, "Here - try these on." She did and said, "These are too big, I can't wear them." I replied, "Exactly I wear the pants in this family and I always will. Ever since that night we have never had any problems."
"Hmmm," says Mike. He thinks that might be a good thing to try. On his honeymoon, Mike takes off his pants and says to Karen,
"Here try these on." She does and says, "These are too large,
they don't fit me. Mike says, "Exactly. I wear the pants in this
family and I always will, and I don't want you to ever forget that."
Then Karen takes off her pants and hands them to Mike and says, "Here you try on mine." He does and says, "I can't get into your pants."
Karen says, "Exactly. And, if you don't change your smart ass
attitude, you never will."

MARC Faber, who told investors to bale out of US stocks a week before the 1987 Black Monday crash and then began recommending commodities to them at the end of 2001, says gold may rise tenfold in the next decade.
"If the Dow Jones goes up three times in the next 10 years, I think gold prices will go up by a minimum 10 times, to something like $US6000 an ounce," said Dr Faber, 60, who founded Hong Kong-based Marc Faber Ltd.
Dr Faber, an investment adviser and author of a newsletter called The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, said gold wasn't expensive when "you compare its price to the quantity of money that has been printed in the last 10 to 15 years in the US and the world in general".
Gold for immediate delivery rose to $US645.85 an ounce on April 20, its highest in more than 25 years, as hedge funds and other speculators bought commodities to seek returns greater than from stocks and bonds.
Former George Soros partner Jim Rogers forecast on April 17 that gold would reach $US1000 an ounce.
The outlook for the precious metal depends on how much money US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke "will print", Dr Faber said.
"As you know, he has (spoken of) asset deflation," Dr Faber said. "He's concerned about real estate and stocks going down, so in the long run, for sure, he'll print money."
Pension and mutual funds are pumping record amounts of cash into commodities as China's booming economy stokes demand for oil and other raw materials, leading to a three-year boom in prices.
Dr Faber said energy and uranium (BHP) prices would continue rising on growing Asian demand.

well said, jagman
you are a gentleman...
jagman, it seems you have reported many times
that 82 million shares were issued but not included
in the previous quarter. which according to you would
have made the o/s 415 million shares on 01/01/06
now you note 134 million more shares are issued.
if you considered your posts of those times accurate,
then the increase in o/s for this latest quarter is
net considerably less, with the increase in the march 06
quarter of 40 million shares to a total of 454 million o/s
shares.
it seems you only quote numbers, which you slant for your
own purposes, that will seem to place amep in a bad light
with those that read the threads you post on.
as ctb noted in a previous post, it would look like the
80 million shares of 12/05 quarter and the 40 million shares
of the lastest quarter have been well spent in the new
assets amep has acquired and begun putting to use.
interesting article on the barnett shale area...
Texas Gas Field Fastest-Growing in Nation
By STEVE QUINN, AP Business Writer Fri Apr 7, 1:45 PM ET
PONDER, Texas - From atop a 40-foot-high walkway on a towering natural gas rig, Doug Hampton scans the grassy scrubland that has served ranchers since the 19th century.
He doesn't see much evidence of that history now, though. No cattle, horses or cowboys. Instead, out on the horizon, he sees the future of this vast expanse north of Fort Worth.
"Just look out there. See?" he said, pointing to another solitary steel structure. "There's a rig over there, another out there and another way out there."
Hampton is a project manager for Oklahoma City-based Devon Energy Corp., one of several companies tapping into the nation's fastest-growing natural gas field — The Barnett Shale.
The reservoir is vital to a tight U.S. supply market, has become a template for other fields nationwide, and is turning oil and gas into this region's most important industry.
The changing landscape is making wells on high schools and private property a familiar sight. Even Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is reviewing its options with 12 companies to lease land for drilling.
"It's going great guns," said John Wood, director of reserves and production for the U.S. Department of Energy's information administration, which ranks the shale as the fourth-most productive onshore field in the nation.
Barnett Shale produces about 1.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day, enough to power about 10,500 homes a year. Forecasts say that will eventually reach 1.7 billion cubic feet, or 2 percent of the annual domestic production.
That growth is crucial because most gas drilling operations — which make up the vast majority of the U.S. supply — are declining or stagnating. The United States produces 85 percent of its gas supply.
"If we did not have shale gas, then there would be less gas available and natural gas prices would be higher," said Kent Bowker, a private Houston-based consultant who once worked for an energy company at the forefront of the Barnett Shale work. "I didn't think it would be nearly as big as it is right now."
Named after pioneer settler John W. Barnett, the 5,000-square-mile reservoir covers 15 North Texas counties. It consists of a dense, jet black rock found thousands of feet below the surface.
Gas was first discovered there in 1981, but geologists were frustrated for years because tight geographic formations made it tough to unlock gas from the heavy rock.
The Barnett Shale wasn't even among the nation's top 100 natural gas fields until the last few years when two technological advances helped drive growth: horizontal drilling and a hydraulic fracturing technique to break through the thick rock surrounding the gas.
That means Barnett Shale has gone from 25 rigs drilling wells in 2001 to more than 130 by the end of last year. In production, the gas field trails only the San Juan Basin Gas Area, which covers New Mexico and Colorado; Prudhoe Bay in Alaska; and Pinedale in Wyoming.
Industry analysts and executives credit George Mitchell, who sold his Houston-based Mitchell Energy to Devon in 2002 for $3.5 billion, for not giving up on the North Texas field.
"It's taken a lot of effort to unlock the heat," said George Jackson, former Mitchell employee, now an operations supervisor with Devon. "He had to drag most of us with our heels fixed to the dirt, but he understood what its value was and that it would work."
George Mitchell said he believed Barnett Shale could be profitable despite the geologic barriers. He said engineers and geologists repeatedly told him to cut his losses and forget about the field and move on.
"If we hadn't persisted, we never would have made it work," Mitchell said. "I had to kick their butts to get it done and now, it's a tremendous asset to the entire country."
In 1997, Mitchell's engineers found that blasting water and sand into the shale would crack the tight rock and economically produce the natural gas. Five years later, just as he was selling his business to Devon, his crew found a way to reach larger tracts of shale using horizontal drilling.
By drilling straight down and then across, companies can extract large amounts of gas from one well rather than four or five.
In the case of Hampton's project for Devon, the crew drilled about 8,000 feet down then continued boring another 2,000 feet across the shale.
"It's the geological complications that make this unique," said Devon Vice President Brad Foster, whose company leases or owns more than 500,000 acres and accounts for about 45 percent of the area's production. "It's not as easy as putting a drill bit down into the ground; you have to understand where you are before you drill."
Horizontal drilling allows producers to reach gas beneath churches, playgrounds and residential developments with minimal surface disruption. In one case, gas is being extracted from beneath an elementary school in Denton, Texas, but no drilling takes place on the land.
This kind of production has helped small and developing communities build their tax base, but it hasn't created a rush on land, says Terry L. Clower, economist with the University of North Texas in Denton.
That's because property owners may be willing to sell their house or business, but not the mineral rights that come with it.
"It's been a huge driver in improving amenities in a region with pockets of it already doing very, very well," Clower said. "And for some of the areas that have not seen as much growth, they have benefited greatly as well."
The technology working in Texas is being applied to other areas where shale is found, including Arkansas, Oklahoma, Michigan and several Canadian provinces.
Analysts say such drilling could be instrumental to the nation's natural gas supply as other areas dry up.
"That is the only segment that is going to give us a chance to continue growing," said Bob Esser, a senior consultant with the Cambridge Energy Research Associates.
"There may not be another Barnett Shale that is as productive, but we think there are other shales that will be productive," said Glenn Darden, chief executive of Fort Worth, Texas-based natural gas and crude oil producer Quicksilver Resources.
Darden said Quicksilver has successfully started branching outside of Texas and is pursuing similar projects throughout North America.
"Just about every oil and gas company now has a strategy of some kind to look for these types of fields," he said. "We've built our team around chasing these."

good luck to all...
A successful rancher died and left everything to his devoted wife. She was a very good-looking woman, and determined to keep the ranch, but knew very little about ranching, so she decided to place an ad in the newspaper for a ranch hand.
Two men applied for the job. One was gay and the other a drunk. She thought long and hard about it, and when no one else applied, she decided to hire the gay guy, figuring it would be safer to have him around the house than the drunk. He proved to be a hard worker who put in long hours every day and knew a lot about ranching.
For weeks, the two of them worked, and the ranch was doing very well. Then one day, the rancher's widow said to the hired hand, "You have done a really good job and the ranch looks great. You should go into town and kick up your heels."
The hired hand readily agreed and went into town one Saturday night.
One o'clock came, however, and he didn't return. Two o'clock and no hired hand. He returned around two-thirty, and upon entering the room, he found the rancher's widow sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine, waiting for him.
She quietly called him over to her. "Unbutton my blouse and take it off," she said. Trembling, he did as she directed. "Now take off my boots." He did as she asked, ever so slowly. "Now take off my socks." He removed each gently and placed them neatly by her boots. "Now take off my skirt." "Now take off my bra." Again, with trembling hands, he did as he was told and dropped it to the floor. "Now," she said, "take off my panties." By the light of the fire, he slowly pulled them down and off. Then she looked at him and said, "If you ever wear my clothes into town again, you're fired."
NOW, WHERE WAS YOUR MIND GOING?????????????????
