I would think if they would do a buy back at .0001 it would be the way to go. Wouldn't put it past McGovern so far he's been sharp.

bellwetherreport.com: The Bellwether Report updates Investors on the Exciting James Monroe Capital Corporation
6/2/2006

Jun 02, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
James Monroe Capital Corporation (OTCPK:JMCP), is a company that our research team will be tracking over the ensuing weeks. They recently came out with a significant corporate development, causing a market stir. The BWR Research Team will continue to bring its subscribers cutting edge research tools, and second to none customer service.

Commonwealth American Financial Group, Inc successfully completed a name change to James Monroe Capital Corporation, earlier this week NASDAQ has received everything necessary to effect the name change for the above-referenced company. The reorganization has already taken place. The new symbol for James Monroe Capital Corporation is JMCP.

Company president, Chris McGovern said, "I believe that we have made a nice transition from the old to the new. Having our own identity is a very positive move."

McGovern was brought in to head-up James Monroe Capital after the majority stake in shares was sold to EE Forrester, LLC. A drastic company restructure followed within 1 week of the sale. Within 30 days of the changes, the company has acquired two existing businesses and over 40% of a resort development in Costa Rica.

Yesterday morning, James Monroe Capital announced that its Resort Development could now be worth upwards of $30mm when complete. The increase comes because the development has been given the honor of being able to build an original Frank Lloyd Wright building.

Frank Lloyd Wright has been called America's greatest architect. When he died, there were some designs that had not been built. Architect Charles Montooth, of Montooth & Hamblin, was Wright's apprentice from 1945 until the time of his death. Montooth will be overseeing the project the same way he supervised the construction of some of Wright's other original designs. Montooth & Hamblin will be designing the rest of the Resort, which will be "not on the land, but of the land," in true Wright style. Architect Floyd Hamblin commented: "Its pretty inspiring. I am incredibly enthusiastic about the opportunity to work with such natural beauty, and create something that will reflect that natural beauty and grace the landscape." Elements of the Montooth & Hamblin design will include open-air showers, rooftop planters, exterior rooms without walls, and dramatic, serene shapes.

James Monroe Capital CEO Chris McGovern said, "Having an original Frank Lloyd Wright on our resort is a lot like getting an original Picasso painting. It's a piece of art, and our target market loves it. Its construction will attract international attention to our resort, Rainforest Beach(TM), and we will be able to charge premium rates because the rare nature of the architecture will bring tourists from all over the world. This sort of project doesn't happen very often."

Following this announcement, shares of James Monroe Capital, continued to trade at $0.0001 on huge volume of nearly 300 million shares. As Investors pick up huge volume of shares as this company looks very undervalued when you look into their long term potential. With the completion of their recent name, change, James Monroe is poised for a break out as they are now ready to take care of business. The BWR Research Team will continue to track the corporate developments surrounding this company as well as many other exciting companies.

Frank Lloyd Wright is dead. He built many homes in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, especially in the area where this company is located. They have special tours just to see his architecture.

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was one of the most prominent and influential architects of the first half of the 20th century. He not only developed a series of highly individual styles over his extraordinarily long architectural career (spanning the years 1887-1959), he influenced the whole course of American architecture and building. To this day he probably remains America's most famous architect.

[edit]
Early years
Frank Lloyd Wright was born in the agricultural town of Richland Center, Wisconsin, U.S., on June 8, 1867, just two years after the end of the American Civil War. He was brought up with strong Unitarian and transcendental principles (eventually, in 1905, he would design the Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois). As a child he spent a great deal of time playing with the kindergarten educational blocks by Friedrich Wilhelm August Fröbel (popularly known as Froebel blocks) given by his mother. These consisted of various geometrically shaped blocks that could be assembled in various combinations to form three-dimensional compositions. Wright in his autobiography talks about the influence of these exercises on his approach to design. Many of his buildings are notable for the geometrical clarity they exhibit.


Wright's home in Oak Park, IllinoisWright commenced his formal education in 1885 at the University of Wisconsin School for Engineering, where he was a member of a fraternity, Phi Delta Theta. He took classes part time for two years while apprenticing under Allen Conover, a local builder and professor of civil engineering. In 1887, Wright left the university without taking a degree (although he was granted an honorary doctorate of fine arts from the university in 1955) and moved to Chicago, Illinois, where he joined the architectural firm of Joseph Lyman Silsbee. Within the year, he had left Silsbee to work for the firm of Adler and Sullivan. Beginning in 1890, he was assigned all residential design work for the firm. In 1893, after a falling-out that probably concerned the work he had taken on outside the office, Wright left Adler and Sullivan to establish his own practice and home in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, IL. He had completed around fifty projects by 1901, including many houses in his hometown.[1]


Darwin Martin House, Buffalo, New YorkBetween 1900 and 1910, his residential designs were "Prairie Houses" (extended low buildings with shallow, sloping roofs, clean sky lines, suppressed chimneys, overhangs and terraces, using unfinished materials), so-called because the design is considered to complement the land around Chicago. These houses are credited with being the first examples of the "open plan."

In fact, the manipulation of interior space in residential and public buildings, such as the Unitarian Unity Temple, in Oak Park, are hallmarks of his style.

He believed that humanity should be central to all design. Many examples of this work can be found in Buffalo, New York, resulting from a friendship between Wright and an executive from the Larkin Soap Company, Darwin D. Martin. In 1902 the Larkin Company decided to build a new administration building .

Wright came to Buffalo and designed not only the first sketches for the Larkin Administration Building (completed in 1904, demolished in 1950), but also three homes for the company's executives:

George Barton House, Buffalo NY, 1903
Darwin D. Martin House, Buffalo NY, 1904
William Heath House, Buffalo NY, 1905
The houses considered the masterpieces of the late Prairie period (1907–9) are the Frederick Robie House and the Avery and Queene Coonley House, both in Chicago. The Robie House with its soaring, cantilevered roof lines, supported by a 110-foot-long channel of steel, is the most dramatic. Its living and dining areas form virtually one uninterrupted space. This building had a profound influence on young European architects after World War I and is sometimes called the "cornerstone of modernism." Wright's work, however, was not known to European architects until after 1910.

[edit]
Europe and personal troubles
This article or section does not cite its references or sources.
You can help Wikipedia by introducing appropriate citations.
In 1904, Wright designed a house for a neighbor in Oak Park, Edwin Cheney, and immediately took a liking to Cheney's wife, Mamah Borthwick Cheney. The two fell in love, even though Wright had been married for over a decade. Often the two could be seen taking rides in Wright's automobile through Oak Park, and they became the talk of the town. Wright's wife, Kitty, would not grant him a divorce however, and at first, neither would Edwin Cheney grant one to Mamah. In 1909, even before the Robie House was actually completed, Wright and Mamah Cheney eloped to Europe. The scandal that erupted virtually destroyed Wright's ability to practice architecture in the United States.

Architectural historians have speculated on why Wright decided to turn his life upside-down. It has been said that he enjoyed living on the edge. Offered as proof of this are the facts that he was always digging himself into problems. He spent money almost as soon as he received it, and almost always seemed to be in debt. This argument has been coupled with speculation that Wright was himself having a professional midlife crisis (in 1907 he was already forty years old). Scholars argue that he felt by 1907-8 that he had done everything he could do with the Prairie Style, particularly from the standpoint of the one-family house. To illustrate, one can ask the question, "How many different permutations of the Prairie Style residence can you do without eventually feeling like you are going nowhere?" Wright was not getting larger commissions for commercial or public buildings, which frustrated him not only because of the desire for bigger and better work, but also because of his immense ego and desire to be recognized as the architectural genius he saw himself as.

Wright and Mamah Cheney traveled extensively throughout Europe, where Wright absorbed a great amount of architectural history. In 1910, during a stop in Berlin, Wright, with virtually all of his drawings, visited the publishing house of Ernst Wasmuth, who had agreed to publish his work there. In two volumes, the Wasmuth Portfolio was thus published, and created the first major exposure of Wright's work in Europe.

Wright remained in Europe for two years, though Mamah Cheney left for the United States a few times, and set up home in Fiesole, Italy. During this time, Edwin Cheney granted her a divorce, though Kitty Wright again refused to grant one to her husband. After Wright's return to the United States in 1911, he moved to Spring Green, Wisconsin, to land that was held by his mother's family, and began to build himself a new home, which he called Taliesin.

[edit]
More personal turmoil
On August 15, 1914, while Wright was in Chicago completing a large project, Midway Gardens, Julian Carlton, a male servant whom he had hired several months earlier, set fire to the living quarters of Taliesin and murdered seven people with an ax as the fire burned. The dead were: Mamah, her two children John and Martha, a gardener, a draftsman, a workman, and the workman’s son. Two people survived the mêleé, one of whom helped to put out the fire that almost completely consumed the residential wing of the house.

In 1923, Wright's mother, Anna, died. Wright wed Miriam Noel in November 1923, but her addiction to morphine led to the failure of the marriage in less than one year. In 1924, after the separation, Wright met Olga (Olgivanna) Lazovich Hinzenburg, at the Petrograd Ballet. They moved in together at Taliesin in 1925, but in 1926, Olga's ex-husband sought custody of his daughter. In Minnetonka, Minnesota, Wright and Olgivanna were accused of violating the Mann Act and arrested in October 1925. The charges were dropped in 1926. The couple married in 1928.

[edit]
Enduring legacy
Wright is responsible for a concept or a series of extremely original concepts of suburban development united under the term Broadacre City. He proposed the idea in his book The Disappearing City in 1932, and unveiled a very large (12 by 12 feet) model of this community of the future, showing it in several venues in the following years. He went on developing the idea until his death.

It was also in the 1930s that Wright first designed "Usonian" houses. Essentially highly practical houses for middle-class clients, the designs were based on a simple, yet elegant geometry. He would later use similar, elementary forms in his First Unitarian Meeting House built in Madison, Wisconsin, between 1947 and 1950.

Wright was awarded the RIBA Royal Gold Medal in 1941.


The classic view of the classic FLLW residence, now a National Monument
Fallingwater, one of the most famous of Frank Lloyd Wright's works
His most famous private residence was constructed from 1935 to 1939—Fallingwater—for Mr. and Mrs. E.J. Kaufmann Sr., at Bear Run, Pennsylvania. It was designed according to Wright's desire to place the occupants close to the natural surroundings, with a stream and waterfall running under part of the building. The construction is a series of cantilevered balconies and terraces, using limestone for all verticals and concrete for the horizontals. The house cost $155,000, including the architect's fee of $8,000. Kaufmann's own engineers argued that the design was not sound. They were overruled by Wright, but workmen secretly added extra steel to the horizontal concrete elements. There is a difference of opinion as to whether Wright's original design would have withstood the test of time. In 1994, Robert Silman and Associates examined the building and developed a plan to restore the structure. In the late 1990s, steel supports were added under the lowest cantilever until a detailed structural analysis could be done. In March 2002, post-tensioning of the lowest terrace was completed.

Wright practiced what is known as organic architecture, an architecture that evolves naturally out of the context, most importantly for him the relationship between the site and the building and the needs of the client. Houses in wooded regions, for instance, made heavy use of wood, desert houses had rambling floor plans and heavy use of stone, and houses in rocky areas such as Los Angeles were built mainly of cinder block. Wright's creations took his concern with organic architecture down to the smallest details. From his largest commercial commissions to the relatively modest Usonian houses, Wright conceived virtually every detail of both the external design and the internal fixtures, including furniture, carpets, windows, doors, tables and chairs, light fittings and decorative elements. He was one of the first architects to design and supply custom-made, purpose-built furniture and fittings that functioned as integrated parts of the whole design, and he often returned to earlier commissions to redesign internal fittings. His Prairie houses use themed, coordinated design elements (often based on plant forms) that are repeated in windows, carpets and other fittings. He made innovative use of new building materials such as precast concrete blocks, glass bricks and zinc cames (instead of the traditional lead) for his leadlight windows, and he famously used Pyrex glass tubing as a major element in the Johnson's Wax building. Wright was also one of the first architects to design and install custom-made electric light fittings, including some of the very first electric floor lamps, and his very early use of the then-novel spherical glass lampshade (a design previously not possible due to the physical restrictions of gas lighting).

One of his projects, Monona Terrace, originally designed in 1937 as City and County Offices for Madison, Wisconsin, was completed in 1997 on the original site, using a variation of Wright's final design for the exterior with the interior design altered by its new purpose as a convention center. The "as-built" design was carried out by Wright's apprentice Tony Puttnam. Monona Terrace was accompanied by controversy throughout the sixty-years between the original design and the completion of the structure.

Wright's personal life was a colorful one that frequently made headlines. He married three times: Catherine Lee Tobin in 1889, Miriam Noel in 1922, and Olga Milanov Hinzenberg (Olgivanna) in 1928. Olgivanna had been living as a disciple of Armenian mystic G. I. Gurdjieff, and her experiences with Gurdjieff influenced the formation and structure of Wright's Taliesin Fellowship in 1932. The meeting of Gurdjieff and Wright is explored in Robert Lepage's The Geometry Of Miracles. Olgivanna continued to run the Fellowship after Wright's death, until her own death in Scottsdale, Arizona in 1985. Despite being a high-profile architect and almost always in demand, Wright would find himself constantly in debt thanks in part to his lavish lifestyle. In one instance Wright was over $1,000 in debt, and reportedly would borrow $1,500 from a friend only to spend more than half of it on clothes, gifts, and trips.


Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Upper East Side, New YorkWright died on April 9, 1959, having designed an enormous number of significant projects including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, a building which occupied him for 16 years (1943–59) and is probably his most recognized masterpiece. The building rises as a warm beige spiral from its site on Fifth Avenue; its interior is similar to the inside of a seashell. Its unique central geometry was meant to allow visitors to experience Guggenheim's collection of nonobjective geometric paintings with ease by taking an elevator to the top level and then viewing artworks by walking down the slowly descending, central spiral ramp, which features a floor embedded with circular shapes and triangular light fixtures, in order to compliment the geometric nature of the structure. Unfortunately, when the museum was completed, a number of important details of Wright's design were ignored, including his desire for the interior to be painted off-white. Furthermore, the Museum currently designs exhibits to be viewed by walking up the curved walkway rather than walking down from the top level.


1966 U.S. postage stamp honoring Frank Lloyd WrightWright built 362 houses. About 300 survive as of 2005. Three have been lost to forces of nature: the waterfront house for W. L. Fuller in Pass Christian, MS, which was destroyed by Hurricane Camille in August 1969, the Louis Sullivan Bungalow of Ocean Springs, Mississippi, which was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and the James Charnley Bungalow of Ocean Springs, Mississippi, which was also gutted by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The Ennis House in California has also been damaged by earthquake and rain-induced ground movement. While a number of the houses are preserved as museum pieces and millions of dollars are spent on their upkeep, other houses have trouble selling on the open market due to their unique designs, generally small size and outdated features. As buildings age their structural deficiencies are increasingly revealed, and Wright's designs have not been immune from the passage of time. Some of his most daring and innovative designs have required major structural repair, and the soaring cantilevered terraces of Fallingwater are but one example. (A common joke was once how "Fallingwater" is falling into the water.) Some of these deficiencies can be attributed to Wright's pushing of materials beyond the state of the art, others to sometimes less than rigorous engineering, and still others to the natural wear and tear of the elements over time.

Many speculate that the character of Howard Roark, an architect in Ayn Rand's book The Fountainhead, is based, at least in part, on Frank Lloyd Wright. Rand, a Wright client herself, however, denied this.

In 1992 The Madison Opera in Madison, Wisconsin commissioned and premiered the opera Shining Brow, by composer Daron Hagen and librettist Paul Muldoon based on events early in Wright's life. The work has since received numerous revivals. In 2000, Work Song: Three Views of Frank Lloyd Wright, a play based on the relationship between the personal and working aspects of Wright's life, debuted at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater.

One of Wright's sons, Frank Lloyd Wright Jr., known as Lloyd Wright, was also a notable architect in Los Angeles. Lloyd Wright's son, (and Wright's grandson) Eric Lloyd Wright, is currently an architect in Malibu, California.

The Oscar-winning actress Anne Baxter was his granddaughter.

Wright also designed his own clothing. His fashion sense was unique and he usually wore very expensive suits, flowing neckties, and capes as well as driving a yellow convertible, which earned him many speeding tickets.

Wright responded to the transformation of domestic life that occurred at the turn of the twentieth century, when servants became a less prominent or completely absent feature of most American households, by developing homes with progressively more open plans. This allowed the woman of the house to work in her 'workplace', as he often called the kitchen, yet keep track of and be available for the children and/or guests in the dining room. Much of modern architecture, including the early work of Mies van der Rohe, can be traced back to Wright's innovative work.

His 'Usonian' homes set a new style for suburban design that was followed by countless developers. Many features of modern American homes date back to Wright; open plans, slab-on-grade footings, and simplified construction techniques that allowed more mechanization or at least efficiency in building are amongst his innovations.

Quotations

The interior of the Rosenbaum House“A doctor can bury mistakes, an architect can only advise their client to plant vines.”

“I don't need to sign in, I'm the architect.” – in response to a patron at Unity Temple asking him to add his name to the entry record.

“Continuously nature shows him the science of her remarkable economy of structure in mineral and vegetable constructions to go with the unspoiled character everywhere apparent in her forms.”

“Give me the luxuries of life and I will gladly do without the necessities.”

“Form follows function – that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.”

"That's how you can tell it's a roof." -- in response to complaints about roof leaks in his buildings

"I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters."

"I believe in God, only I spell it Nature."

"If it keeps up, man will atrophy all his limbs but the push-button finger."

"Less is only more where more is no good."

A true legend of whimsical architecture! I had no idea this chap passed on so many years ago. No doubt his name and prominence will do our stuck justice!

Cheers to JMCP and cheers to Lloyd Frank Wright!

So where is the building and the casino? And where is the spot for the Lloyd Frank Wright structure? I wonder if that chap in the blue tshirt was our friend McGovern. I hope there are no cannibals in Costa Rica, his daughter was plump for the picking...

In addition.....The close at .0002 was the only thing I was hoping for with this stock.I don't really care that someone probably painted the tape because I am sure we will have news on Monday.If we get some really good news we may touch or even break .0003 for the first time in a loooong time.I am expecting this stock to just pop one day and suprise everyone.I will not sell any shares for less than .001 and I think that price is very reasonable and will definetly be reached within a fair amount of time.I actually think we can go much higher!

Flippers dream stock. Will be difficult to move past two when flips earn 100%. GL I may just jump on this one. If I can get in at .0001 next week. I'll try at least.

I just wouldn't want to be the guy who flips it at .0002 only to watch it make a huge sudden pop one day to .001 as it pursues rapidly towards .01 with only much more good news and things to come! [Eek!] [Eek!] [Eek!] [Eek!]

James Monroe Capital Announces New Talent


By BusinessWire
Last Update: 6/5/2006 9:36:05 AM Data provided by

CHICAGO, Jun 05, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- James Monroe Capital Corporation (Pink Sheets:JMCP), has announced that new marketing talent, Dr. Vinton J. Lewis, has joined the team as an independent deal maker.

Several of Dr. Lewis' projects are well known. Dr. Lewis developed the concept of a kiosk for the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Dr. Lewis came up with McGruff the Crime Dog who says, "Take a bite out of crime." Perhaps one of the best feathers in his hat is this: the very concept of Fee-Based Financial Planning was his baby. It was the former VP, Dr. Lewis who popularized financial advisors for the old IDS (AKA American Express Financial Advisors). Today it has become an industry standard.

Dr. Lewis has scheduled James Monroe Capital meetings in Minneapolis this week. He commented, "This project is a once in a lifetime opportunity. With the calculated, opportunistic deals we have, and the financial leverage for added power, the potential for growth is phenomenal--very unique. I'm excited to be a part of the team. We're making progress already on a company which will be a new subsidiary of James Monroe Capital.

James Monroe Capital CEO Chris McGovern said, "We're very lucky to work with someone like Vint. He really pushes us to think bigger and bite off more, and he knows how to make things happen."
