Great observation Brad. If they don't do it here, maybe that Dr D guy, or that windbag guy that thinks out of the box. I have never seen such stretching of the imagination. It's pure and simple. get the freaking diamonds, and no one will have to think of these conspiracy theories anymore.

I've got a feeling that in the not too distant future we are going to own stock in a company in the drag racing business. That sure seems to be where their focus has been lately. Raider, do you really believe this "lifts the Casavant name"? It puts me one step closer to converting my certificates into "Casavant Brand Toilet Tissue". How's that for a lift?

Good Evening All, First I want to say this PR is ridiculous. Next I will offer an excuse for it. The only reasonable excuse I can think of is CMKX expected to be further along in their game plan and booked the 12 spots months ago because preferred advertising slots need to be scheduled in advance. --------------------------------------------- Bill and Wallace -I don't know how to read the subtracted numbers. To me it looks possible that some covering is being done. One huge order today was purchased by TDWaterhouse of Canada (I read this on the unofficial CMKX board). If covering is being done by the naked shorters it isn't a bad thing on any level for us since the shares that are being sold (if legitimate) would have to be coming from the company or one of our partners who had received shares as payment for services or cash. These shares would then be retired- reducing the artificial float and the actual float at the same time (if they are returned to CMKX after selling). The money if going to CMKX is $1,000,000 for every 3.4 billion shares. The fact the price has been sat on with our lawyer, the SEC and tons of others watching tells me it may be a negotiated price and sanctioned by all involved. --------------------------------------------- I read a somewhat credible post today on the number of OS. I will have to find the link. It took the 15 Billion or so shares we knew about and had 2 large numbers of shares that were paid out to raise the funds for the $3.2 and $1.8 million dollars we received from our partners for exploration and sampling. I think those shares were restricted so I am unsure how they should be counted. The total number was around 100 Billion. This is higher than I would like but I thought it might be credible. If there was a huge naked short like many believed and the company is letting some of it be covered at .0003 by buying some of the restricted shares of our partners or from us; we benefit from the reduced float and/or increased cash in the company. If what I am proposing is happening there is value being added the whole time the price is standing still. If this is just more naked shorting that also adds value in the long run when the cover is forced. I am seeing this as a win, win. And I haven't read anyone saying this exact scenario but I think it was Sterling who said that there would be a win, win worked out in the end for us and the MM's. If there were 300 billion naked short shares and the float gets reduced by almost 100B shares, the cash received from the rest would be aver $50 Million dollars. This would go along way toward a higher PPS. --------------------------------------------- This is just my opinion and of course I hope it is at least this good for us. Keep up the DD and GLTA -Debi

Debi, I also don't know what the negative numbers mean. One thing that is strange is that some of the numbers appear more than once, especially 3133333. I can't even hazard a guess though as to what it means.

Well may be it is GOOD
Dead Man Sparkling - Turn Cremated Loved Ones Into Jewelry and Other Keepsakes http://www.lifegem.com/ The remains of a 27-year-old woman from Phoenix have been transformed into six precious stones and are set to be delivered to her family and friends on Friday. LifeGem's first order could be the start of a new age in the funeral industry. The woman, who died of Hodgkin's disease, had asked that her ashes be distributed to loved ones. To honor that last wish, her family turned to LifeGem, hoping to create something special from this tragedy.
"When I look at her ashes, I know what they are and they make me sad; when I look at her LifeGem, it is a very positive experience," her father says in video footage the company is releasing to document its first sale.
The father worked closely with the company, which was founded two years ago outside Chicago. The diamonds, certified by the European Gemological Laboratories in New York, have been set into rings and have "the same brilliance, fire, and hardness as any high-quality diamond you may find at Tiffany's," according to company literature.
Out With the Urn, in With the New
You might think that LifeGems are the ultimate in tacky jewelry. But the company claims it's working on more than 50 orders and are on pace to ring up more than $1 million in sales — and many of their customers are grieving pet owners.
These sparklers aren't cheap. A .25-carat diamond — the smallest LifeGem sells — has recently been marked down from $3,950 to $2,095. Even at the reduced price, that's more than twice the cost of a natural diamond. But don't get the idea that you're worth more dead than alive. You're still only worth something to the people you love.
Still, LifeGem is refining its process in order to create more spectacular gems, in various shades of red, blue and yellow. The top-of-the-line, three-quarter-carat rocks go for nearly $10,000, and the company is promising "near-flawless diamonds of up to 3 carats in the very near future."
LifeGem puts a new twist in the classic family feud — Who's getting mom's jewelry when she dies? With the company's patent-pending process, a cremated human can yield 100 certified, high-quality diamonds — enough to mollify a Kennedy-sized clan.
Of course, diamonds are already vested with meaning. They're a girl's best friend, the ultimate way to say I love you. Just try getting engaged with a cubic zirconium.
But what does it say if you pass off a LifeGem as an engagement ring? I can already imagine a Hitchcockian thriller, involving a man who murders his wife, has her crushed into a LifeGem and passes her remains off as a token of his esteem — to his next victim. Call it The Man Who Proposed Too Much … or perhaps Dial G for LifeGem.
Despite the jokes, Dean VandenBiesen, one of the founders of LifeGem, is confident that diamonds can take on a new meaning in death. His brother Rusty came up with the idea three years ago, when he decided that he didn't want his final resting spot to be in a cemetery or an urn left on a fireplace mantle.
"If you think about it, carbon is the building block for all life, and that's what a diamond is made of," VandenBiesen said.
Frisbees … And Other Ash Alternatives
In nature, carbon crystallizes into diamonds after millions of years of intense heat and pressure — forming the hardest substance on earth. In the 1950s, General Electric developed a process to manufacture diamonds in a lab. These synthetic diamonds were first used for such items as drill bits and other cutting devices. Later on, synthetic diamond jewelry was introduced.
In an age when burial costs are climbing, more people are turning to cremation, and VandenBiesen sees that as an opportunity. The cremation rate is now 26 percent and forecasted to rise to 36 percent or higher by 2010.
One reason for the trend: embalming, coffins and memorial service expenses have pushed the average cost of a funeral to more than $6,130. A cremation can cost less than $1,000.

.......and there you have it, DEAD IS GOOD. Unbelievable, Iam not saying another word. I'll keep my crappy 1.5M shares, and do what I think is best with them. I can't listen to anymore twisting and braiding crap into jewelery. I remember years ago someone making jewelery out of birdsh|t, and people couldn't buy enough. I guess even CMKX stupidity and ignorance can be marketed by some, and have others beating down their door to buy into their theories.

Probably not too many people follow NSDM anymore, but they are also a diamond mining company with stakes in Cananda (Manitoba/Weksuko Lake)and also Ukraine. They have recently in the past months started their own marketing and advertising to sell their own diamonds as well (they found diamonds in Ukraine already, and are now testing the first known lamprophyre in Manitoba).
No, this is not the PR everyone is looking for from our company. Those important PRs are going to take longer than anyone expects. But, this is a positive sign for us and for the company. Putting his name out there like that is not something Urban would do if he was not confident in what is in the works, and what is to come for our company. This is a great step for CMKX and a necessary one, if diamonds are in the ground. According to a past PR, we were waiting for results of a couple other drill holes. Those results may or may not be great. What we do know is that they are in, and are unreleased to the public. Why would this be? Because there is not point in releasing a good pr (if it is to be a good pr) if the market will not react to it. It is better to wait until there is support (PR about O/S and naked shorts) for a PPS increase. That does not exist right now...plus, if this speculation on the MM's covering while JEFF sells at a pre-agreed upon price of .0003 with Urban's shares is true, Urban knows the price will not be going up until the covering is done. There's really no good reason to release any good pr's containing info about drill results. It will be discounted by all shareholders because we just dont' know enough right now for those results to affect the PPS.
I think this is great for the company. It bolsters my confidence in this stock. It bolsters my confidence in Urban Casavant. In one months time, hopefully we will all realize that our confidence in CMKX was not in vain.
Maybe Urb can give Frank some pointers...the Qbid comment was hilarious!

Oh no, I'm laughing. I'm just saying that there will always be people willing to follow the wildest, sickest, fantanstic, and most outlandish theroies, explanations, excuses, offered by people who don't want to hear the truth. Believe me I was not offended by your post at all. I just realized that it is a basic human need to be conned and like it, even as far as turning loved ones into ankle bracelets. My feeble attempts at sobriety through sacarism will not make a dent in the cheerleading, and the fans being whipped into a frenzy. People want to believe even at the expense of knowing what they're hearing/reading is some concocted nonsense. They will dismiss good sense and logic, and wear their love one's ashes to a dinner party, and make you look at them, while they tell you some wonderful human interest story about their dearly departed, because some greedy goof outside of Chicago convinced them to turn Mom into a ring.

I personally don't see today's PR's as good or bad. Just another activity on the company radar screen. Although I think the shareholders general moral went up with something new to talk about. That probably makes the PR's worth it.

...and by the way who ever called Melvin last time (I don't know if any body recall that email) was right about the PR being released this week, and was right not up to our expectations....so Melvin did tell the truth this time, but not the truth we really wanted to hear....

I think UC is powering his race vehicles with those Treasury shares. That's why he doesn't win...too much smoke! Can't see if he's coming or going. I think he's totally gone.
This latest release should really have an impact on the pps tomorrow.

I wonder how much money is being spent on the car, sponsorships, etc. that should be going into the core business of diamond exploration. For what it's worth, I have the outdoor channel and the race starts in about 10 minutes. I'm going to try to watch it and will report back in after the CMKX sponsored race.

This is unbelievable. Is anyone else watching this? CMKX is advertised on everything. The announcers microphones have the CMKX logo on them, the announcers themselves have CMKX patches on their shirts, every time the race standings are shown it says "Got CMKX?" underneath it and all of the cars have some kind of CMKX advertising on it. I don't think this sport has a great following (although the stands are full) but this is a travesty. This had to have cost a bundle of money. You cannot look anywhere without seeing CMKX somewhere. Commercial is over, I'll check in later.

Will, I'll take a positive outlook over being negative for the sake of being negative any day of the week. There is something happening with this company and you can think it is a scam all you want. I don't. This are so many unusual and outlandish things about this company I have to think it is for real just because it would be too bizarre to make up.
I do have some quiestions for you -What do you think is happening everyday with the huge volume and the price staying exactly the same?
Why would a company go out and hire a lawyer with the pedigree our lawyer has and also line up publicity if their goal was a P & D?
my take -they already had shares moving if all they wanted was a P & D. I think they are going to have a product and be a reporting company.
--------------------------------------------- I agree with your take on the turning Mom's ashes into jewelry being a twisted idea. But I totally disagree with your take on CMKX. I actually think the CMKX detractors are more whipped into a frenzy by CMKX than the people who see the potential this company has. I am just accumulating shares in a controlled manner. Every day as long as long as it is on sale. I don't expect that this 'news' will have a positive effect on the share price. I don't think diamonds the size of baseballs would move the share price right now. And that is the point. The MM's are 100% in control of the share price IMO. To put out substantial news now would do no good it would be a wasted opportunity. We need to be able to buy and sell this stock and all our stocks with confidence that it is a freely trading market. That isn't happening right now. I think when we file we will receive the fair present value of our stock and that will be a lot more than it is now. IMO-DD-GLTA Debi

Another commercial is on due to an accident. Right before the break they showed a drivers view cam shot and guess what was on the dashboard of the car? "Got CMKX?" This is ridiculous! I'm hoping for an interview with Urban later.

I'm done watching this, I can't take anymore. CMKX is everywhere and after a commercial break the announcers welcome you back, thank the sponsor CMKX, and then say "Got CMKX?". This company is selling something alright, more shares! There is no other fathomable reason for a company that has no product and if legit, is a decade or more away from producing diamonds, to engage in this type of advertising. This is costing us, (yes, you and me) a bundle.

Debi, If the o/s is 400 billion (I know that's speculation) and say they average 4 billion a day, that's only 1% of the outstanding shares traded. That's a somewhat thinly traded stock in relative terms. It would take a lot more trading than that or a positive p/r to move it much
First: Could he be dumping those Treasury shares? What is the amount...over 20 billion shares? And, I repeat a previous post, Treasury shares are not retired shares. Is that how UC is paying for the sponsorship?
Second: Is he in effect trying to manipulate the market price with this waste of shareholders' money? I think that is illegal.

Wallace, To answer question # 2, couldn't he just claim corporate interests by sponsoring the race and if the price goes up, so be it?

CMKX was not the only sponsor... There was "swervin'"Stering Marlin,"Awsome"Bill Elliott And Nextell 2001 rookie of the year Kevin Harvic. All Nextell cup drivers rollin in CMKX.com Trucks. Seen Pepsi,3M,Best Western,DEI,and so many other sponsers it was a blurr. One thing for sure I saw CMKX was the headliner.
