I have not been there before this is my first visit Too DR
we are going to be 30 minutes from Santo Damingo (excuse the spelling.)
i cant wait.
it was a toss up between Jamaca and there. the desiding factor was that we could get a 4 star in DR and for several hundred less then the 3 star in Jamaca. I wont stay in less then a 4 star anymore. just to many variables. besides i dont like drinking my rum from a paper cup lol

Gee, reading this message board every morning is getting more depressing eveyday. I sure wish I had the money to take a trip to the islands. Sure could use a vacation about now. 2006, so far, is starting out like last year. You are rich one day, then poor the next. Now with the Muslims saying we can no longer have freedom of speech and wanting to behead everyone, just makes the world a safer place. Hey, but at least now I find out that Frank will have QBID all straigthen out in a few months and QBID will be worth .02.... wont life be wonderful then! Just don't know what to believe anymore. Still waiting to get my sell at .0002 filled. May be today!

Q Television Future in Jeopardy? Fledgling TV Network Temporarily Shuts Down Production Amid Layoffs and Rumors 02.07.06
By Ross von Metzke
(Burbank, CA) – Q Television Network, one of three gay cable channels currently available across the United States, shut down production temporarily last week amid rumors of difficulty making payroll and accounting scandals, among other things.
Out.com reported Monday that Q Television shut down production for about two weeks, letting go all 1099 contractors (those not under contract) as the network undergoes a brief restructuring.
According to Out.com, the network, which features all original programming with openly gay talent including Steve Kmetko, Reichen Lehmkuhl, and Sandra Bernhard, is still paying salaried employees.
But according to an industry source, who asked to remain unidentified, last week’s layoff have been in the pipeline for weeks, with rumored bounced paychecks and accounting glitches going on behind the scenes.
Honey Labrador, who co-hosts and produces Q’s morning show Brunch and will be the anchor for the network’s coverage of the Gay Games this summer in Chicago, says the rumblings are simply not true.
“We are completely committed to what it is Q Television does and this is provide original, live programming,” Labrador told Out.com. “So we are taking until the 13th of February to concentrate on our live programming. Some of it is retooling some of the shows as well as preparing ourselves for the unprecedented live coverage of the Gay Games.”
Q owns the exclusive broadcast, radio, and internet rights to the Games.
Another source, who works at the network and asked to remain unidentified, said 1099 employees were told they were being let go as part of a restructuring and an attempt to take the programming in a “different direction.”
But last week, some of those workers were being called back into Q Television’s offices to negotiate restructured contracts.
Q’s Executive Vice President of Network Operations, Carol Hinnant, told Out.com that while the 1099 workers have been released, when production starts again on the 13th she expects them all to be rehired.
“We’re hoping they’ll all come back, but some of them may have taken other jobs by then,” she notes. “But we can’t afford to pay 1099 employees while we’re in this planning session.”
Without the backing of a major corporation (Logo is backed by Viacom and here! TV is linked up with film distributor Regent Releasing, Q Television had emerged as the only of the gay networks to produce 100-percent original programming.
Though the network has struggled for increased distribution, Hinnant told Out.com effective this week, Q is in more homes than ever, with parts of Massachusetts, Texas, and Virginia recently adding the network to their available coverage.
“Everything is up and running,” she says. “We prerecorded sessions that we’re running this week. But we are a small staff with a large commitment coming up with the Games. It’s not easy being a stand-alone, start-up network, but I have confidence in what we’re doing.”

On that second claim of mine, i was giving time to the individual to say the truth, because right now it looks awfully similiar to that of skunksyard on IHUB.
Lets just say this girl..... doesnt cross her legs

Well, I already added 10 million at .0001, now i am trying to sell them at .0002. The good old double down play. I will sell my high cost shares, get a capital loss and keep the low cost share and I will end up with same amount of share. Still will have 12 million shares left, if I can sell these 10 million. But I don't think that I will be able to sell them anytime SOON!

In order to protect the investors frank is making sure that we are the last ones to know anything period. It would seem. He's afraid we just wouldn't be able to handle it. Nice guy.

This punk CEO we have really owes us an explanation on some things, with the color of the media coverage on finances and so on. You would think the guy would wonder if any one is curious. How far do you take this secrecy sh1t anyway.

I wonder why when I just called QTN they answer the phone as Media city. Did they take back the studio that Frank said Q owns? Thats pretty weird when they can't keep calling their company QTN, just because they close for a week or two. This looks like its getting ready to fold. Hey Fatso lay off the Limo rides already.

Well, honestly..I don't think it was a con game or conspiracy in the beginning. Now. Frank may be trying to con us in believing that Q will be aroung next year. I know a couple of gay men here and they never heard of QTN. When I went to Palm Spring last year and ask some gay/lesbian people downtown at their "Pride" booth about QTN, they didn't know about it.
I am just beginning to believe that there is no wide support for QTN among the gay community. At least not enough to support QTN. I believe if there was, then may be Frank could have raise the money from more private investors. From what I read and hear, the gay community has TONS of money.
But then again, I really know nothing.
