LOL! Glad to know you're working. Sounds like you are having a good morning, then. Glad your training is over..after that length of time, I'd be plotting my escape!
I always HATED meetings...always seemed like there was that ONE person who always dominated the entire meeting session--the one who loved to talk and pontificate. Oh, how I hate that. Drives me absolutely crazy. I'm more 'action,' less talk...I'm pretty hyperactive so I don't like to sit still for too long let alone listen to someone stroke their own ego while holding his/her audience hostage
Sorry, flashbacks to my teaching days. We had on average 4 long meetings a week after school. I was working 11-13 hour days (really) in special education, so I was perpetually exhausted and exasperated. That just about brought me to my knees, even though I'm passionate about teaching!
Anyway, what I was getting at (LOL) is that I'm glad you're out of training... (WAY off topic..so sorry...fairly quiet day, though).
Did I read that you were jumping out of planes? If so, PLEASE be careful. NOW that would freak me out. I don't like flying at all...can't imagine willingly doing that, but I'm glad you had fun....you little dare-devil!
QBID is holding at 0042.

We always have good laughs when I tell him about Q. PRVH is the only penny that he's ventured into. Maybe a good time to learn that prophit program, you've mentioned. Will you be available for tutoring? DZ

Pennytrader, congrats on your jump! There's a small airport about 5 miles from where I live and every weekend dozens of jumpers are floating down at variable speeds with the Rockies in the background. It's quite a sight and gets me a little itchy to try it. For the cost of another jumper, around $100., they will videotape your whole jump, from preboarding plane to statement after landing. If you do it again, you could check for that where your at. DZ

You may recall that GLINN did a major article on the Gay Television Network the beginning of the year that was distributed free to all publications and members on our list. GTN announced they were going to be on Echostar's DISH Network and Dish denied it. GTN never could produce the contract they claimed to have. The gay community has heard little from them since.
However, they have not gone away. GTN which changed its name to Triangle Television Network has announced at least 3 launch dates and did not meet any of them. There is always some excuse which fails to check out. A couple of months ago they announced they would launch on September 5, 2001. They have issued press releases about forthcoming news and events and have not executed on any of them in a timely manner. They have announced a tire company as a sponsor, but fail to identify the company. They have not announced what network will carry their channel. They have not provided any verifiable details.
(See the PR's on qbid.net or triangletelevisionnetwork.com)
Now, the most shocking thing of all. The corporations behind the Triangle Television Network, Triangle Multi-Media, Inc., Triangle Broadcasting Corporation and Co-Media Corporation are all Nevada and Washington corporations. These corporations operate only in Palm Springs, CA. None of them are registered with the California Secretary of State as foreign corporations as the law requires. This means they do not legally exist in California and they cannot own property, have employees, enter into contracts or anything else. They do not legally exist. There are also substantial penalties for this violation of the law.
This information can be verified on the web site of the California Secretary of State or by calling that office.
Yet, Triangle Multi-Media, Inc. is a publicly traded company. Its stock, symbol QBID, is traded on the NASDAQ pink sheets. Stockholders purchase the stock on the basis of the promised Triangle Television Network. In reality, none of these stock- holders own any part of the network. This would appear to be a massive stock fraud. Also, this is a non-reporting company.
We have long suspected that Triangle and other companies operated by Frank Olsen from the 1000 E. Tahquitz Canyon, Palm Springs, are nothing more than pump and dump stock scams. The QBID stock, in fact, has been recently pumped by a number of promoters paid in hundreds of thousands of shares of QBID stock. Many of these pumpers operate on QBID bulletin boards on stock sites trying to entice individuals into purchasing this stock. Many of the individuals purchasing this stock are gay/lesbian.
GLINN is issuing this message as a warning and an invitation to the gay/lesbian media to investigate this for themselves and develop news articles for their readers.
----------------------
We would also be interested in copies of any news articles that have been produced recently. We would also like to know if Triangle has done any advertising in the gay press other than the unpaid ads promoting its original launch on the DISH Network.

Dish Network Denies Contract and Claims of Homophobia
By Dan F. Schramm, GLINN
January 29, 2001 - (Gay/Lesbian International News Network at www.glinn.com) --- A news release distributed via PRNewswire on January 16, 2001 by the Gay Television Network (www.gaytelevisionchannel.com) announcing their launch next month on the Dish Satellite Network has resulted in the Dish Network denying on January 23, 2001 that it is carrying the channel. Gay Television Network (GTN) says it has a contract and representatives of EchoStar Communications, the parent of Dish Network deny it. The news release remains viewable on the prnewswire.com web site.
Gay Television Network has been promoting its carriage on the Dish Network for several months, and has been running advertisements with the Dish Network logo in gay publications selling subscriptions to the service. A couple of thousand people have signed up. GTN customer service representatives are continuing to accept signups as late as January 23. and stated repeatedly the channel will be on the Dish Network in the early part of February.
Dish Network associate public relations director Marc Lumpkin denied they knew anything about GTN until the January 16 news release. GTN claims its ads were approved by Dish Network, while Dish denied any knowledge of them or approval for them. Dish Network customer service has no knowledge of GTN and the programming department via email has denied its existence continuously since November when GLINN first learned of GTN.
The Dish Network demanded that GTN remove the Dish name and logo from its web site and retract the news release. Both parties confirm that Dish information was removed from the GTN web site. No public retraction appears to have been issued. GLINN also spoke with public relations director Juliann Atencio who said that GTN had apologized. She stated that Dish Network contracts also require that all news releases including their name be cleared by them in advance. She denied that GTN had any contract with Dish. The MSN news item also refers to a service called "Premium Choice" which Dish says does not exist.
GTN claims that MSN.com rewrote the GTN news release stating that the Dish Network was going to launch a gay channel and that a major Mormon Dish stockholder complained to high ranking Dish Network executives who got cold feet. The article no longer remains on MSN for checking. (The original MSN news items is available on the GLINN site at www.glinn.com).Dish Network strongly denied that this was the case or that Dish Network was homophobic. Lumpkin denied that sexuality was an issue or that Dish censors content. He refused to state that Dish Network has no problem with gay content, but pointed out that Dish carries the Showtime channel and is promoting "Queer as Folk" with Showtime. Dish Network also carries a number of other adult channels.
Dish Network spokesman Lumpkin stated that the GTN did not have a contract with the Dish Network, but would not comment if such a contract was being negotiated. Gay Television Network insists it has an existing contract, not that one is being negotiated, with the Dish Network to carry its channel 12 hours a day and 24 hours on weekends for a fee of $360,000 a month. Investigation shows this claim has a number of problems.
From this point things get fuzzier and even more complicated. Gay Television Network is a brand name (and registered trademark) for a service involving two different corporations. Triangle Multi- Media Limited, Inc. is producing the network's content and signing up subscribers. Another company Co-Media is handling the programming distribution and selling of advertising. Co-Media has not announced any signed advertisers.
Frank Olsen states that Co-Media has a contract with Dish Network, and provided a letter on Echostar letterhead signed by Mark Jackson, Senior Vice President, which could be interpreted to support the contention the Dish had a contract with Co-Media which was up for renewal. Jackson's secretary refused to allow this reporter to speak with him and insisted that only the public relations director could speak for the company. Dish spokesperson Lumpkin, upon request of this reporter, double checked and stated they had no agreement with GTN, Triangle Multi-Media or Co-Media.
Lumpkin also said he was familiar with the Jackson letter, and that the letter, dated November 28, 2000 was part of a negotiation and was sent to clarify what the procedure would be if the proposed contract came to the end of its term. To take the letter the way GTN claims, would mean that Co-Media had an existing contract that was coming to an end. Dish Network denies it ever had a contract with Co-Media, and says that providing this letter to the media rather than showing an actual contract talks for itself.
GTN points out that it has been selling Dish subscriptions, and attended Dish training seminars. Unfortunately, this is an entirely different matter than having a Dish Network channel. Just about any company can be a reseller of Dish Network systems/ programming. GLINN itself is a dealer for Dish Network systems. On January 25, GTN was still signing people up for Dish Network subscriptions including the Gay Television Channel, stating GTN would be on the Dish Network even after removing the Dish name and logos from its web site. GTN quoted a price of $64.94 per month with the first month activation billing of $49.99. GTN customer representative Tiffany stated that nobody would be charged until the network launched. Olsen also assured this writer that no customer would be charged until the network was launched.
Dish Network representatives were flabbergasted at the rates charged by GTN which do not correspond to any Dish subscription package. The 150 channel package is $39.99 per month. It would seem that GTN is charging that plus an additional $24.95 for its own channel. The $19.95 charge claimed by GTN in its Prnewswire release and quoted by other media is not supported by GTN's own marketing statements to its customers and potential customers.
Triangle and Co-Media claim to have invested $3.5 million on GTN and have another $3.5 committed. Olsen, president of Triangle was interviewed by this reporter and said that 30 gay and lesbian people with extensive broadcasting experience were involved in the venture. Olsen said Triangle owned two radio stations and had sold Palm Springs television station KPSP (UHF Ch. 55) for $1.2 million to raise money for the GTN venture. Olsen said he had 30 years of experience buying and selling distressed television stations. Marvin Jenkins is CEO of Co-Media. He mentioned two lawyers involved in the project: Dick Weiner was an attorney for ABC Television for many years, winner of a Peabody award, and attorney Max Craig, also with many years of broadcast experience. A number of other employees and some investors were named, including a doctor who sold his chiropractic practice to invest the money in GTN.
The beginning of November 2000, GTN was running advertisements in gay publications. GTN did not pay for these advertisements. They were placed on what is called "per inquiry." GTN promised to pay publications $10.00 for each signup of an existing Dish subscriber and $25.00 for each new Dish subscriber they signed up. Gay Chicago Magazine, associate publisher Gerry Williams, said that after running a number of full page ads, a letter from GTN on December 1, stated 8 people had signed up. Payments are currently overdue. The January 16 GTN news release reveals that only 2,000 people have signed up. Other publications, such as Wisconsin's In Step magazine refused to run the advertisements, according to publisher Bill Attewell, although the newspaper did run a front page story about GTN.
On January 25, two days after inquiries from GLINN, Co-Media, Inc. sent a letter to publishers claiming an existing contract, and accusing Dish Network of homophobia. It apparently sent the "Jackson" letter as well together with a letter from Co-Media to Dish Network's Michael Schwimmer complaining of the apparent Dish reversal.
Sources, including Dish Network, wonder how these lawyers could allow their business, entrusted with $3.5 million of investor's money, to run newspaper advertisements as early as November 9, 2000 featuring the Dish Network name and logo, without having an iron-clad contract with Dish Network in place. They asked, "if there is a contract, why was GTN unable or unwilling to show one, but instead had to provide a letter" of debatable value?
There is yet another problem with the November 28 letter. This letter refers to a BTV agreement. BTV means "Business Television" which is different from a public broadcast channel on the Dish Network. A BTV channel is used by companies to send private programming to retail locations or in the case of a major real estate company to employees at their homes. Dish Network had no idea how Triangle/Co-Media could manage to do GTN with a business television channel. There are billing and other issues which render that approach difficult if not impossible. Dish does not provide any information on the private BTV channels which could explain why Dish customer service had never heard of GTN.
These channels are not part of any Dish subscription. This is perhaps part of the problem. Sources speculated that GTN was trying to save money by using the BTV approach and Dish would not allow a broadcast channel to be done that way. A 24/7 broadcast channel is substantially more expensive. Dish would not comment on previous or any ongoing negotiations.
The January 16 GTN news release states, "Naturally the Dish Network's subscriber base of 5 million is a rich resource for new viewers." Unfortunately, none of those 5 million viewers would know anything about GTN under a BTV agreement. GTN did not claim they have a contract for a full broadcast channel on Dish Network nor do the letters provided support that idea. Thus, the reference to the potential offered by the viewers of Dish Network appears to be wishful thinking.
In response to a series of questions faxed to Triangle Multi-Media's Frank Olsen, this reporter was telephoned and conducted an extensive interview. During the interview, GLINN was invited to visit GTN offices and see its offices and studio facility. On January 26 we faxed Olsen at two known working fax numbers and accepted the invitation subject to a number of conditions, including access to financial records, documents such as the alleged contract, and agreements to broadcast the movies named in their press releases and on their web site. We also requested to videotape all interviews and photograph the facility. As of midnight January 29, this fax has been ignored. The release of this news story, originally planned for January 23 was delayed while we waited for an expected response.
Interestingly, a news story linked on the GTN web site, dated January 26, 2001 has appeared on a Michigan gay news web site (www.metrog.com) authored by a person only identified as "Crusader" which pretty closely follows the information provided to GLINN. The author claims to have visited the GTN studio in Palm Springs, CA and attests to its existence. This story also quotes another report on the www.tvinsite.com web news site. An extensive search of that web site fails to turn up any mention of GTN. The author also claims that Marc Lumpkin claimed on January 26, several days after he was interviewed by GLINN, to have no knowledge of the situation. The article states "spokesperson Mark Lumkin said he had no idea what I was talking about." ("Crusader" fails to spell either the first name or last name of the Dish spokesman correctly.)
This reporter has to wonder why GTN didn't invite a gay print publication with known credibility to visit their offices, or at minimum, why photographs did not accompany the article, when there are millions of dollars on the line. Why does the author of such an important story go by a fictitious pen name? This reporter has to wonder why that reporter did not ask to see the contract or attest to its existence in the report, something GLINN asked to do. With the controversy they knew is brewing and the knowledge of GLINN's news story, it seems like much too little, much too late.

EVERYTHING IS MOVING FORWARD. WHILE MOST WILL TELL YOU THAT IT'S DROPPED TO THE CURRENT SUB-PENNY OF .008+/- FROM .018 A FEW WEEKS AGO AND A RECENT HIGH OF .027 MEANS IT'S A FRAUD. WELL A .02 STOCK FROM .0001 ISN'T ALL THAT MUCH OF ANYTHING TO BASE YOUR OPINION ON. MOST ARE ATTACKING THIS STOCK AT THE ..02 LEVEL AS THOUGH IT'S LISTED ON NASDAQ WITH FULL REPORTING. IF THE STOCK WERE SITTING AT .05 RIGHT NOW, NO ONE WOULD BE COMPLAINING AND YOU WOULD HEAR THE CONTINUED SINGING AND PRAISES OF HOW WONDERFUL AND WHAT A GREAT FUTURE Q-TV HAS. THE BOTTOM LINE HAS ALWAYS BEEN WITH THIS STOCK, LAUNCH AND GIVE US THE STRENGTH OF ADVERTISERS. WELL WE HAVE 50% OF THE EQUATION BEING TEST LAUNCH MAY 15. SOFT LAUNCH JUNE 1 AND "FULL" 8 HR PROGRAMMING REPEATED 3 TIMES FOR A 24-HR BROADCAST. FRANK OLSEN (CEO) HAS MADE IT CLEAR HE WILL NOT RELEASE INFO PERTAINING TO CARRIAGE, MEANING CARRIER PROVIDERS, UNTIL HE HAS THE SIGNED CONTRACT IN HAND. WE CAN ONLY GO BY WHAT CONCRETE FACTS WE HAVE AND THE LAUNCH IS A CONCRETE FACT. YOU CAN TURN ON TV AND SEE IT.
Q-TV IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY AND IN MY OPINION, AT .008 A GOOD TIME TO JUMP ON BOARD. YOUR SITTING IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME WITH A GAY/LESBIAN TV STATION.
A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER ABOUT THIS STOCK.. 1 IT'S A PINK. 2 PEOPLE ON MESSAGE BOARDS CREATE 95% OF SEC COMPLAINTS ABOUT A STOCK AND THOSE 95% ARE USUALLY PINK SHEET STOCKS. MOST PEOPLE WHO POST DO NOT KNOW HOW STOCKS WORK AND SIMPLY BELIEVE THAT SINCE A STOCK IS GOING UP IN PRICE, IT MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT AND WHEN IT GOES DOWN, SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG (FRAUD). WE LIVE IN A TABLOIDS SOCIETY AND PEOPLE ARE MORE CONCERNED WITH WHO BRITANY SPEARS IS GETTING MARRIED TO AND KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT THEN THEY DO ABOUT THE STOCKS THEY ARE CLAIMING TO BE FRAUDS. ALSO THE SAME PEOPLE WHO GET ON BOARDS AND CLAIM FRAUD OR WHAT A JOKE A CERTAIN STOCK IS ARE THE SAME ONE'S WHO SIT AT HOME, CLICK ON A MESSAGE BOARD TO RANT AND HAVE DONE ABSOLUTLY NOTHING FOR THE COMPANY AND IT'S SHARE PRICE. THEY ALL USE THE STANDARD WELL I OWN THE COMPANY I'M INVESTED IN BUT AREN'T WILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP. CASE IN POINT, NUMEROUS PEOPLE IN MIAMI OWN Q-TV AND NOT ONE OF THEM HAS DONE ANYTHING TO ASSIST IN PROMOTION FOR Q-TV IN A HIGH POPULATION OF GAY PEOPLE BUT WILL BE THE FIRST IN LINE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW Q-TV ISN'T DOING ANYTHING.
SO I'LL HOLD THIS STOCK FOR THE NEXT YEAR TAKING INTO ACCOUNT WHAT IS TRULY INVOLVED IN STARTING A TELEVISION STATION AS WELL AS A GAY ONE IN THIS DAY AND AGE. SUCH A GOOD IDEA A COMPANY SUCH A CBS/VIACOM ANNOUNCES THAT IT'S FOLLOWING THROUGH AND WILL BEGIN BROADCAST FEB 18, 2005 OF IT'S GAY "LOGO" NETWORK.
I NEVER PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO PEOPLE TELLING ME HOW HORRIBLE A STOCK IS WHEN THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN A COUNTRY THAT WORKS ON THE DOUBLE STANDARD PRINCIPAL TO FIT THEIR VIEWS.
CASE AND POINT. LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE SAYING QBID IS A FRAUD AND HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOW TO START A TV STATION OR WHAT'S INVOLVED AND FURTHER, THEY CAN SAY IT'S A FRAUD BUT PROVE IT. AGAIN, WE GO BACK TO 50% WAS GETTING A SIGNAL UP AND RUNNING WHICH WE ARE AND THE OTHER 25% IS SIGNAL PROVIDERS AND 25% IS ADVERTISERS.
ULTIMATELY, FRANK AND COMPANY ARE WORKING IN CALIFORNIA TRYING TO MAKE THIS WORK AND THEIR FINANCIAL SUCCESS IS BASED UPON THE SHARES THEY ARE ABLE TO SELL ONCE THEY ARE UP AND RUNNING A COMPLETE NETWORK.
FACTS ARE:
SIGNAL IS UP 24HRS
FRANK MADE IT CLEAR HE MADE THE MISTAKE RELEASEING SIGNAL INFO BACK IN 2000 WHEN HE WAS NOT AUTHORIZED TO DO SO AND CAUSED PROBLEMS SO HE'S NOT RELEASING THE CURRENT (PENDING) INFO HE HAS UNTIL CONFIRMATION.
YOU CAN FORM YOUR OWN CONCLUSION WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE ACTIVELY SEEKING ADVERTISERS. I BELIEVE THAT SINCE WE HAVE THE ABOVE 2 FACTS THAT ADVERTISING IS A GIVEN.
I NEVER PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO PEOPLE TELLING ME HOW HORRIBLE A STOCK IS WHEN THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN A COUNTRY THAT WORKS ON THE DOUBLE STANDARD PRINCIPAL TO FIT THEIR VIEWS.
I like this part of what slurpy had to say and will take his advice.

Chicago Gay Games Signs Multi-million Deal for TV/Radio Broadcast Rights Letter of Intent Signed with California-based Q Television Network
CHICAGO, IL – Chicago organizers of Gay Games VII today announced a multi-million dollar cash and barter deal assigning television and radio broadcast rights to the Q Television network. Q Television Network and Chicago Games, Inc. (CGI) signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) marking the final negotiation period for an agreement transferring the media rights to the California-based cable network.
The LOI outlines the broad terms of the proposed deal, including broadcast rights, joint development of Gay Games-related programming, broadcast airtime for advanced Gay Games advertising, and live and taped coverage of Gay Games VII events from 15 to 22 July 2006. As part of the proposed agreement, Q Television, a subscriber-based television network affiliated with RCN Cable and other providers, will unscramble its signal during live coverage of the Gay Games in 2006. Q Television would also serve as the agent for the redistribution of television and radio broadcast rights, allowing for access beyond Q Television’s cable footprint, especially in international markets. The media rights being sold would not prohibit standard news coverage.

Registration for the quadrennial event opened 1 July 2004 online at GayGamesChicago.org.
The Federation of Gay Games (FGG) made the announcement jointly with Chicago Games, Inc., the host of Gay Games VII. ?Melissa Etheridge is a cultural icon and highly regarded proponent of human rights,? said FGG co-president Roberto Mantaci, from his home in Paris. http://www.chicago2006.org/
the company i have worked for has changed its name 3 times since 1999 and we are bigger then ever.
name changes dont mean squat these days

So you better believe they didn't have a name until they were settled on the product. They were originally called "Rocket Chemical Company".
I personally like Q Television Network. Q stands for something. and Triangle is the parent company.
