Hello, solar girl.
I'm still here at the 'puter. Just working on other stuff. But I still have my news streamer where I can see it.
I just couldn't believe that after I posted the PR, people were still talking about diapers. Of course, diapers DO have something in common with Frank. (OK, everybody now...) They're both full of crap.

Been long here since April and have appreciated all the DD this board produces. Just like everyone else, I'm holding strong with 600k. After the news today about Zephyr Advertising, I've come to conclusion that I'll have to get more at these levels. Yes, it's just infomercials, but the experience that Zepyr upper management has in the cable industry alone will bring in some serious income. Here are their Bio's coming off their website:
Dan Zifkin: President & Chief Executive Officer [email] Dan Zifkin has an extensive career in the media and advertising business, and is considered one of the foremost experts on all aspects of the media buying and selling process. Prior to founding Zephyr Media, Dan held senior positions at many leading media entities, including senior management responsibilities at Blair Television, The Entertainment Channel (now known as the A&E Network), Universal/MCA -TV, the Financial News Network (now CNBC), WGN-TV, and Western International Media. Dan enjoys a first-name basis relationship with all the senior sales executives at the leading cable networks and many of the top broadcast stations in the leading markets. His rich depth and breadth of experience on the sales side gives Zephyr an important edge in its media buying dealings with the cable and broadcast industries. Dan created and built the company based on his knowledge and appreciation of how a media buying operation needs to service its clients in today’s complex television environment. He is a key infomercial industry expert, and was instrumental in the addition of Sharper Image, Liquid Metal Golf, DeLonghi and other important clients to the Zephyr roster.
Heather Durst : Vice President [email] Heather Durst began her career at Nostalgia Television in the early 1990s and rose to Director of Paid Programming & Direct Response. During her tenure she doubled Nostalgia Network's revenue and greatly increased its roster of clients. Heather joined Zephyr Media in its early days and helped expand the company as an Infomercial and Direct Response Agency, and to spearhead the development of its New York operation. She has been involved in making Zephyr Media the exclusive representative of the Classic Sports Network and Burley Bear Network among others for direct response sales. In addition, she has been instrumental in obtaining the exclusive representation rights for all Direct Response and Infomercial placement activity on a number of television station and cable networks. Her reputation in the station industry as a hard working, revenue and result-producing representative is widely acknowledged.
.................................................... .......................... Roger C. Delaney : Vice President/Media Director [email] Roger C. Delaney brings a wealth of varied experience to his position as VP/Media Director of Zephyr Media. With over 15 years experience in the media industry, Roger has worked extensively in direct response short and long form as well as in the general advertising field. Roger worked for two years as the head of long form buying for NordicTrack, where he was also involved with short form television and radio buying. He has also purchased infomercial time for industry giants such as Ronco, Guthy-Renker, and Monster.com. As a senior short form television and radio buyer at the Haworth Group in Minneapolis, Roger worked with such well-known companies as Target, Marshall Fields, Mervyns, and other prominent national advertisers. Roger's wide range of knowledge gives him a unique, multifaceted perspective on the direct response industry, and brings a tremendous amount of versatility and flexibility to the media department of Zephyr Media.
................................................................. ............. Wes Dubin : Business Development Director [email] Wes Dubin serves as Zephyr Media's Business Development Director. Wes began his career in the media and advertising business at the ABC Television Network, where he served as Director, Sales Proposals for the Central US Division, which increased its sales to network advertisers significantly during that time. Wes moved to the advertising agency Needham, Harper & Steers (now DDB) as Senior Vice President, National Broadcast, where he built its national media buying operation into an industry powerhouse that negotiated network television, network cable, national syndication, and network radio deals for Fortune 500 advertisers like McDonald's, Sears, State Farm, General Mills, Clorox, Universal Pictures, and others. He was named "Cable Television All-Star 1988" by Marketing and Media Magazine (now Mediaweek) for his efforts in bringing cable to the media buying forefront for major advertisers. While at the Agency, Wes additionally pioneered its new media operation, Electronic Ventures, and served as its Director. Wes also worked for new advertising technology start-up Next Century Media as its Senior Vice President, Marketing and Sales, and has done marketing and media consulting work for respected industry leaders like Lands' End and Tribune Broadcasting. Wes’s ability to work with companies to help them shape direct response campaigns is a valuable asset for existing and new clients’ alike.
Based in New York City, I believe QBID will get exposed exponentially! Zephyr is deep in the cable industry and know everyone. I believe this will kick start QBID into the .05's by years end. The market responded quite well with this news and we still have 2 weeks until CC.

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.
“It has been my dream to get television created specifically for the LGBT audience on the air,” said Frank Olsen, CEO and President of Q Television. “With the Gay Games as our landmark network event, we will begin immediately to present the stories of the men and women worldwide that participate in the Games and build anticipation and excitement until the opening ceremonies.”
Steven Grunberg, Executive Vice-President of Programming for the Q Television Network, said “Q Television is all about ‘community’ and showing LGBT life at its best and most uplifting. We are honored to be chosen as the home for the Games and we will work hand-in-hand with Chicago’s organizers to deliver one of the great LGBT events of the new millennium.”

hopefully a repeat performance is in order for the opening, for those that didn't see the late pr.
I'm sure the volume will trigger some alerts for people to grab their attention for some early morning rally.
funny how the price started moving up before the pr. maybe Frank decided to buy up a pile like he said he was going to. didn't he state according to the post brought over last night that he was going to buy 50,000,000 shares today? maybe his scramble before the pr release caused the volume that gave the PPS a boost.
or do you think that the MM's are privy to the Pr's an hour before they are released?
HMMMMMMMM someone definately knew something. before we did!!
doesnt matter though, nice to see a little lift just the same. I dont think we have realised the full effect of this pr yet. i see a bit more of a boost in pps in the morning trading.
WAY TO GO Q
Told you Brandon!! i like it when you come and tell me to run. lol
edit = forgot to run the spell checker. me bad lol

Online media company caters to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community. October 13, 2004: 6:40 PM EDT
NEW YORK (Reuters) - PlanetOut Inc.'s initial public offering raised $41.9 million Wednesday after the company's shares priced at the bottom of its already reduced range.
The IPO priced 4.65 million shares at $9 per share, the underwriter said. The offering was originally expected to price between $12 and $14 per share, but the company cut the range to $9 to $11 per share in August.
Based in San Francisco, PlanetOut (unchanged at $0.00, Research) is an online media company serving the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community (LBGT), providing chat and instant messaging services as well as specialized shopping and travel products and services.
PlanetOut plans to use proceeds from the offering to repay debt and for working capital, capital expenditures, possible acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.
According to a regulatory filing, the deal's underwriters, led by SG Cowen & Co. and RBC Capital Markets, have the option to purchase 697,500 additional shares to cover any over-allotments.
PlanetOut's shares will trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol "LGBT."

What the hell!
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!
The share price remains volatile due to a combination of market manipulation, investor fear around this issue & the emergence of a new bull market with many other opportunities. The convergence of these factors has created an environment for the "Perfect Network Economic Storm"
The obvious will occur!
Manipulation will have ceased when the accumulation process has reached a point of virtual consolidation which will trigger the following events.....................
A slow but steady climb in pps wind speed. This will be the eye of the storm where it may appear relatively calm even though winds might rise to .03 cents. At any given time in September an announcement will be made that QBID has broadcast signal to the public throughout major population areas across several regions of North America where a target population controls in excess Half A Trillion Dollars of disposable income.
Investor fear will vanish in a nano-second. Winds may reach speeds of .07 to .08 cents a minute in extremely volatile atmosphere. This may be followed by an alert that we have 2 or 3 new carriers signing on creating gusts of up to .17 per minute. The momentum of this storm will continue to increase as investors, flush with new gains from other opportunities, scramble to move their money to QBID as the rest of the market enters a stall due to profit taking.
At this juncture we may well experience winds of .30+ per second. Tragically we may also weather announcements such as 20,000 to 25,000 initial subscribers which very possibly will begin a rush by Consumer Driven Fortune 500 Companies signing Multi Million Dollar contracts with QBID.
Even as investors begin to think the storm has peaked out at a ferocious $1.25 it is entirely possible that management will retire a quarter of the outstanding shares accompanied by an announcement that a major buyback has commenced as well as many large institutions declaring new positions in the debt free company. That is to say nothing of the listing on a major exchange. because of that, this prognosticator shuns from making further wind speed calculations for this event
In preparation for this storm Wells Fargo has informed the SEC that satchels of one million dollars in denominations of $100 bills weigh in excess of 55 lbs & may cause severe back problems. Federal Reserve personal have directed banks to shore up their vaults expecting flooding with levels reaching into the billions. Mental health professionals will be on the lookout for an upsurge in the rare diagnosis of "Perpetual Jubilation Disorder" characterized obnoxious grins & outright continuous laughter attended by joy induced spontaneous orgasms.
Unfortunately many present day QBIDian shareholders will become billionaires & find themselves confined to the plush interiors of their limousines, yachts & mansions.
Unlikely as this may seem, the CEO of QBID can not avert this storm even through mismanagement & actually appears to be working to create this historic event!
Be forewarned!!!
This forecast is nothing short of a virtual lock,,,
