BioElectronics finds a Cure for the Curse
Posted by Jim H on June 22, 2009
I've been blogging about FITCI graduate BioElectronics for quite some time. Even though they're not technically a Biotech company, there product/technology is Bio-based and it is used as a therapeutic product. They made some really big waves at the end of last week. Last week, BioElectronics announced that their "patch" has been submitted to the FDA for clearance in use for treatment of pain reduction associated with dysmenorrhea (period pain and cramps). This is also a request to make their product available "Over the Counter", as currently it requires a prescription (at least in the US). The Allay Menstrual Pain Relief Patch is drug-free and is based on Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy, which applies advanced semiconductor and micro-battery technologies into a very small form factor that has been packaged into a wafer thin patch that can be worn directly on the skin.
There is a very nice write up entitled The Curse's Cure here.
According to this article, they are engaged in Clinical trials recently completed or currently underway including the following:
Dysmenorrhea (period pain) — On the call, Barry Eppley, M.D. D.M.D. discussed the results of a recently completed randomized, double blinded, active and placebo-controlled clinical study on the use of the Allay™ Menstrual Pain Relief Patch for the treatment of period pain. The study, which included 91 females showed very strong efficacy, 100% safety and strong statistical significance. The results of the study were used as the basis for the Company's recent FDA submission.
General Musculoskeletal Complaints — Earlier this week the Company announced that Sheena Kong, M.D. is undertaking a significantly sized randomized, double blinded, active and placebo-controlled clinical study on general musculoskeletal complaints. The study is specifically designed to allow BioElectronics Corporation to file an application with the FDA to receive an indication for treatment of general musculoskeletal complaints, including back, knee, ankle and neck pain. On the call the management team discussed recent heightened concerns about the potential dangers of inappropriate acetaminophen and Tylenol® usage, which are far and away the leading causes of liver failure in the United States and the United Kingdom. The Company believes its portable, drug-free technology offers a significantly safer alternative to these potentially dangerous pharmaceuticals. The Company's goal is over-the-counter clearance.
Breast Augmentation — BioElectronics currently has three breast augmentation surgery recovery trials underway. The largest of these is being conducted by David Genecov, M.D., FACS-FAAP, of Houston, Texas. The randomized, double blinded positive and placebo-controlled study involves 120 patients. Barry Eppley, M.D. D.M.D. of Indianapolis, Indiana is also conducting a similar study. Additionally, several physicians in the country of Denmark are conducting a breast augmentation surgical recovery study in order to receive approval for government reimbursement.
Cesarean Section — The vast majority of women who undergo cesarean section delivery do not wish to take narcotic drugs during the recovery stage. As a result pain relief is a major issue. Dr. Michael Lopez of St. Mark's Hospital in Texas is conducting a trial using the Company's RecoveryRx™ product. The management team of BioElectronics believes this market holds great potential over the coming years.
Heel/Foot Pain/Plantar Fasciitis — A major study on these conditions is currently underway in Houston, Texas conducted by David Genecov, M.D., FACS-FAAP. This double blinded, randomized and placebo-controlled study is very near completion with the management team expecting data over the coming few weeks. Tens of millions of people in the United States suffer from such conditions and it is believed the Company's ActiPatch is both a safe and effective alternative for treatment.
Diabetic Wound Care — A group of physicians in Denmark is currently undertaking a clinical study on the treatment of diabetic wounds. While no placebos are being used in this study, the Company nevertheless believes strong data will be realized.
Uveitis — Uveitis is an inflammation in the middle layer of the eye and the second leading cause of blindness in the United States. This condition is typically treated with steroids, either as topical eye drops or as an oral therapy. A study at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Institute is currently being conducted to determine the efficacy and safety of the Company's PEMF technology for treatment of this condition.
Pretty exciting stuff, if you ask me!

With half the season finished, Sporting News' network of correspondents asked 111 players from 31 teams everything you want to know about what has happened—and will happen—in the 2011 season.
As always in our midseason poll, players were not allowed to name their team, teammates or head coach for any of their answers.
Have the stricter tackling rules taken too much of the physicality out of the game?
Yes: 90
No: 21
"Yes. The league and officials should be ashamed of some of these flags and the way they keep flagging guys. They are turning the NFL into being soft." —Ravens LB Terrell Suggs
"Yes. It's taken away from the brute physical violence that fans like to see. It's the one thing in the world where physical violence is legal. I understand, obviously, that it's all about players' safety and players being able to play with their kids after they're through playing. But you can also go overboard with it, too. Now, you can't even touch the quarterback. You can't hit him in the head, you can't hit him in the knees. If you don't hit him in the belly button, you're fined. It takes away from it a little bit, but it's also part of being a pro. ... He's our commissioner, he's our boss. If he says go out there and make a tackle standing on two hands, you got to do it." —Raiders CB Stanford Routt
—Get it while it's hot: Troy Aikman's Hot Read
"Yes. I don't think it takes away from everybody, because some players are just going to be who they are and play their style regardless of the rules. It does have some guys worrying about how they should hit a guy that's in a position where they can get penalized. I guarantee that, if you take a survey, some guys are going to say, 'No, it doesn't change me because I'm a football player.' But some guys definitely are thinking about it because they don't want to get the flag, they don't want to hurt their team, and they don't want to pay the money for the fine. So, yeah, it does change things." —Raiders OT Khalif Barnes
"Most definitely. A lot of guys focus on how they're tackling instead of just trying to make a play." —AFC defensive player
"Yes. There's too much protecting. You're trying to protect people in a brutal sport. It's impossible." —AFC defensive player
"Yes. It's taken out some of the physicality. I wouldn't say all of it. I think with the stricter rules you're going to have more guys with leg and knee injuries because guys are afraid of getting fined for hitting up high and helmet-to-helmet contact. So you have a lot of guys going out with those 'bottom-half' injuries." —Broncos TE Daniel Fells
"Yes. You can't win. Hard hits are illegal, that's how I see it. There's too many gray areas, especially favoring the offenses. I think it's taken away from the game, in my opinion. But it is what it is. You've got to play by the rules. I play by them. I don't make them." —Broncos DE Robert Ayers
"Yes. It is all about safety, but it plays with some of the defensive players' minds when focusing on a tackle since you've got to worry about getting fined. And it's not good when you have to worry about too many things out on the field." —Broncos LB Wesley Woodyard
"No. Safety is a big issue these days." —AFC offensive player

For a couple years now I've been singing the praise of "these three little letters that, if you remember nothing else from my presentation, I want you to remember: BDD!" Business Desktop Deployment.
BDD is one of many "Solution Accelerators" Microsoft makes available. As the name implies, these are product or area focused tools that help accelerate you towards a solution - providing both guidance and the tools required to bring you up-and-running quickly with some solution. Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) is/was a very powerful set of such knowledge and tools all around making it easy to create LTI or ZTI (Light and Zero Touch Installation) deployments of Windows Desktops and applications.
"You said, 'was', Kevin. Is the BDD gone?"
No. It's not gone. Not yet. But it is being replaced by "Microsoft Deployment". So.. do a search-and-replace of everything I've ever said about BDD and replace it with MD.
Microsoft Deployment (Release Candidate 1 just went live TODAY on the Microsoft Connect site - details on how to get it below) is the next version.
"Why the change? What's new?"
Well, in a nutshell, this new tool (and new name) refers not just to deploying desktops. It's about deployment. Period. We also had a Solution Accelerator called Windows Server Deployment (WSD) which, as the name implies, was all about deploying servers. (duh!) That, too, is becoming a part of the new Microsoft Deployment Solution Accelerator.
Here are a list of "What's new" that I received in an e-mail about it just under an hour ago:
New Features in Microsoft Deployment
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 support, with the following features:
Lite Touch Installation (LTI) support for Windows Server 2008:
Lite Touch Installation (LTI) enhancements:
Lite Touch Installation (LTI) multicast support:
"Cool! How do I get it, Kevin?"
It's an open beta download right now. You get it by signing up for the Microsoft Connection Deployment program in Microsoft Connect.
If you're already a member, you can go straight to the download here.
Now I'm off to edit my slides. I've got BDD all over the place...

Hi all!
Here I am sitting at home for a few more hours before heading to the airport to get on a plane to Texas to deliver TechNet Events on Tuesday and Thursday.
"Texas?! You don't usually cover Texas!"
Well, I am pleased to be able to cover some events there now.
For those of you who don't know, we recently did a little shift-around of responsibilities on the Microsoft Across America - TechNet Events team. It was agreed all around that, rather than all of us doing Core Events, Webcasts, managing User Group Relationships, and doing events for partners, and trying also to focus on other efforts, we should split the team into specialties. So, a few guys (Harold Wong, John Weston, and Michael J. Murphy) are now focusing on building and supporting the IT Pro Community, Keith Combs and Matt Hester are taking more of a specific product or technology-area focus.
So, in what we call the Central Region of the U.S., that leaves my buddy Shawn Travers and I able to focus primarily on our "core events"; which means we'll be doing less preparation and delivery of the one-off events, and many more of our main TechNet Events.
We'll still be working with User Groups and Partners and doing other events - but definitely not as many as we were in the past. And we'll have our Community Champs to help manage those relationships and work with our schedules.
"So.. What does your schedule look like, Kevin? Where will you be traveling to for TechNet events?"
I'm glad you (I) asked!
Here I'm taking advantage of a plug-in for Windows Live Writer that lets me search for and insert events from the event site Eventful.com. Of course, it did require me to enter my events into the site first, but once they're there, they can be easily plugged-in to blog posts like this one.
I've also posted my "Save the Day" TechNet Resources for these events here.
And of course, if you want to find the full list of events, plus events going into the next quarter (when they go live), you need to save www.technetevents.com as one of your favorites, or subscribe to the RSS feed from there.

RTM = Released to Manufacturing
"And what is SCDPM?"
SCDPM is System Center Data Protection Manager 2007. It's a new version of the DPM product (first released last year), and contains several incredible improvements.
Last week, at a Microsoft Across America team meeting in Phoenix, AZ, I had the privilege of attending a presentation by Jason Buffington on all the benefits of the new DPM 2007.
Folks... seriously... this is going to make backup, recovery, and archiving of your application data and files SO EASY.
If you read nothing else about DPM, at least check out Jason's blog post about the RTM, and the details on why this version will change how you think of backing up your company's knowledge assets. But you should also check out the DPM team blog , too. And here's the new DPM site as well.

August 5, 2015
OKLAHOMA CITY,OK. (AP) - The U.S. Justice Department says a lawsuit over the water rights of three major stream systems in southeastern Oklahoma should be heard in federal court.
The Oklahoman reports the department filed a notice Monday to remove the case from the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
Attorney General Scott Pruitt sued on behalf of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, asking the court to decide whether the state or the Chickasaw and Choctaw tribes had the right to use the stream and surface water.
Leaders of the tribe say they're pleased with the move, while the attorney general's office says it's still reviewing the decision.
The Justice Department says that hearing the case in federal court will conserve judicial resources because the tribes have already filed a separate federal lawsuit over the matter.

Histoire du verre
At once inspiration for artistic creation, integral element of architectural designs and impetus for scientific development, glass is a dynamic element and witness of our social history. Glass has a history to be told from one exhibition to the next. Glass is a medium to explore from one event to the next. The Year of Glass is a year not to be missed.
Montreal, City of Glass 2010: A tale of innovation.
Glass comes from within the earth itself. Born from the mysterious transformation of mere grains of sand, glass was discovered in the Middle East approximately 3,000 years B.C., product of the fusion of sand and minerals. Pliny the Elder told the tale of its discovery when he described the glass pearls found among the ashes of a fire of some Phoenician bivouac. This chance discovery was then followed by the important invention of the blowing iron a few hundred years B.C. And by the 3rd Century A.D., those inventive Romans had already developed glass preparation techniques which are still in use today.
From initial discovery to further experimentation, glass has evolved over time. The invention of flat coloured glass favoured the creation of audacious stained-glass windows for large European cathedrals in the 11th Century, of corrective lenses in the 13th Century and of lead crystal glass crafted by English glass-maker Ravenscroft in the 17th Century. Each transformed our daily lives in its own way. By the 16th Century, the use of glass had become popularized particularly in window-making. During industrialisation, the production of glass containers, initially the domain of artisans, became intensified. In Montreal, by the end of the 19th Century, the glass industry had truly come of age. Since the establishment of its first factory in 1839, Canada's glass industry remained in full bloom for many years.
A fascinating medium, glass lends itself to the creation of delicate scientific instruments as much as to unyielding architectural structures. It is equally suited for the creation of jewellery as it is for the production of containers, from the most modest to the most practical. But beyond its practicality, glass has always been suited for exceptional artistic creation. At once an art form and a craft, glass-making truly transcends the medium which gives it form.

Welcome to Soest
The municipality of Soest has a population of over 45,000 people and is located in the middle of the country. Soest offers a remarkable diversity in natural beauty.
Soest is situated amidst farmlands, meadows, woods, dunes and a total of 17 hectares of what was once a single vast heath but is now divided amongst nine different locations. Industry, service professions and agricultural are the main sources of income.
Soest is approximately 20 km from Utrecht, 7 km from Amersfoort and 10 km from Hilversum, with excellent train and bus service to each of these.
Taking an aerial view of the municipality, which covers 46 square kilometres, two different major developed areas stand out clearly. Both are surrounded by woods, farmlands or meadows. Soest is the larger of the two, and comprises Soestdijk, the original village of Soest and Soest-Zuid. These three developments appear to be connected by the Utrecht-Baarn railway line and each has its own station. As a result of new construction, these developments have gradually extended towards the outlying district of Hees, which is situated along the border of the Soesterveen nature sanctuary and the Pijnenburg woods.
The other, smaller development is Soesterberg, which is located on the other side of the Soester 'mountain' and the Soesterberg airfield. The modest district of Soestduinen lies between the two, surrounded entirely by woods.
Soest-Zuid is home to the Soester woods and dunes, a reserve of about 500 hectares that stretches from the woods of Birkhoven (Amersfoort) to Pijnenburg. The sand flats in the Soester natural dunes create an inviting, slightly hilly area that is very popular day trip destination.
The woods of Pijnenburg are likewise a magnet for visitors seeking peace and quiet in the great outdoors. Nearby Soesterveen has two small nature preserves which are a very important area to study for botanists.
Soest is twinned with the city of Soest in (Westfalen-Germany). Every year, a sports exchange is held.

Hyundai has hit it off fairly well with its new range of products, the 'i' series. The i10 was essentially a replacement for the Santro, and the i20 does the same with the Getz. Hyundai hasn't been known for its diesel hatches, although its sedans have sold appreciably. The first diesel hatch that HMIL offered the Indian public was the Getz CRDi, but the car was overpriced and the dated looks turned many prospective buyers away. Hyundai has now introduced the i20 with a 1.4-litre CRDi engine to clock more miles per hour and litre, and this could be an ideal premium hatch for customers looking for a quick diesel city car.The 1.4-litre petrol also comes with an automatic transmission.
Hyundai has designed the i20 with strong European influences, following the recent trend that began with their new design philosophy. The i20 has a large number of longitudinal lines and curves all over the car with a few running across its front and rear doors on both sides which makes the car look very aggressive.
Hyundai has added a bold waistline crease that rises toward the rear - the way this crease curves and falls to the rear fender over the wheel arch adds a lot of power and aggression to the design. However, the mirrors of the i20 are very Getz-like and the top-end variant of the i20 features 5-spoke alloy wheels. The rear of the hatch has a thick C-pillar and tail lamps shaped like parallelograms with rounded corners extending to its edges. The rear bumper sports small vertical and horizontal lines and a recess for the number plate. The bootlid incorporates a stylised Hyundai logo which is also the boot release.
The Korean designers have given the i20 brown and beige with some black on the dash. The steering wheel has audio controls on it and there are three dials in the instrument gauge cluster, where the small central dial has a temperature gauge and fuel level indicator mounted on either side. The speedo is backlit with red lights with no option to adjust the brightness. The electrically adjustable mirrors can be opened or folded at the touch of a button even when the key isn't inserted, and the multi-functional buttons on the steering work without the key turned to the 'on' position, which are features not found in many other cars.
The centre console has a digital multi-function display which displays the time, date, distance covered, current audio track, fuel efficiency and ambient temperature. It can be turned off with the button called 'Dark'. The centre console features two knobs for the air-conditioning unit and a centrally integrated audio system located above it, and points for USB and other auxiliary inputs below it; adjacent to the cigarette lighter with the vertical vents on both sides.The centre console also has an indicator and warning for seatbelts for all five passengers. The gear knob has a combination of black, chrome and brown, with a slot ahead of the lever to place your mobile phone and two cupholders followed by one for bottles behind the knob. The glovebox is illuminated and chilled, which is a nice touch.
The seats of the i20 are flat and didn't feel like they were bolstered enough in the right places. It took all of us quite a few attempts until we found a seating position that felt comfortable. There is immense legroom in the front row, which will comfortably seat six-footers. Short drivers will particularly like the seat height adjustment while a steering wheel that tilts and telescopes and a dead pedal help with overall driver ergonomics.
The 1.4-litre common rail engine used in the i20 is a refined Hyundai CRDi engine. The 16-valve 89 bhp 1396cc engine produces a maximum of 220Nm of torque giving the car a head start when the throttle is nailed, but when the turbo isn't assisting things, the engine feels sluggish and this can be quite annoying in bumper-to-bumper office. The car did 0-100kph in 12.6 seconds during testing.The i20's CRDi engine is noisy and the strong turbo kick at about 1800rpm will put a wide grin on your face. The turbocharger itself doesn't intrude with the typical high-pitched whine characteristic of turbos.
The i20 was initially launched with the 1.2-litre petrol engine. This is the Kappa engine which was first seen on the i10. It is a highly refined engine which produces a maximum power of 80bhp and a torque of 112Nm. With the i20 weighing a little more a ton, on paper the car feels underpowered, but once the engine crosses 3000rpm, it means serious business. The true power of the car is unveiled.
Hyundai has designed the gear ratios of the i20 to suit city as well as highway driving. The short throws and positive engagement makes shifting easy but the shift gate is too small which could lead to some fouled shifts when in a hurry.
The i20 CRDi is a little thirstier than expected. The 1.4-litre engine on an average travels 16.2km on a litre of diesel. During testing, we achieved an efficiency of 12.5kpl.
The Hyundai i20 is certainly one of the best cars we've used in the city; it goes through traffic faster than a glutton goes through dessert at a buffet. The hatch's handling is astounding within city speed limits and it's a complete hoot to drive through traffic. Point the car to where you want it to go, and floor it! However be warned that spirited starts from traffic lights means plenty of torque steer and burnt rubber. Traction control would be a welcome addition - something which the new lineup of Hyundai CRDi powered cars need. Although the handling is fairly predictable there were a couple of instances where we had the rear end step out of line and were quite surprised.
The i20 has a light steering which is highly responsive until the turbo kicks in after which the steering tends to feel light momentarily - maybe due to the suspension setup. The tight turning radius coupled with the light steering makes parking convenient and effortless. Talking about cornering, our confidence to dive into a corner at high speed wasn't too high due to the suspension set-up. All this car needs is a bit of fine tuning in its suspension and alignment and this car will be one of the best handling ones around.
The i20 ticks all the right boxes for those who want a good city car: it has sharp looks, handles well in city traffic, has a powerful diesel engine and feels built to last. There are a few letdowns, like the interior space and turbo lag but in the light of Hyundai's legendary service, the ownership experience as a whole will be positive. If you're a young couple on the lookout for powerful diesel car for city use, the i20 CRDi with its powerful engine, sharp looks and high residuals should be at the top of your list.

Thanks for the support. You should know that when you disagree with me, I take a step back and think things through again. You are a rational and informed voice.
You should consider joining our ranks!
joey .. I hear what you are saying about letting Reyes walk. It may come to that if some team makes him an offer he can't refuse (Mets won't do a Crawford deal but I get the feeling someone else will). But I would hesitate to spend that "found" money on any long term deal in 2012. They should spread it around and maybe it will let them bolster their bullpen.
Without Reyes, they have no shot at doing anything next year. I would want Alderson to have flexibility in the 2012 offseason because that is shaping up to be a free agent pool with a lot of legit stars. So no long term deals next year to any player not named Reyes.
As much as I hate long term deals for guys like Reyes, who have been "good" most of their career with flashes of brilliance, the dropoff they will suffer at SS will be monumental if he leaves. Only Tulowitzki is better than Reyes. I can live with overpaying Reyes, even if he puts up the numbers I would expect (290 / 350 OBP / 45 steals). His defense is outstanding and he has presence. There is a tangible dropoff in energy when he is out of the lineup. It's hard to quantify what that is worth ... but it does have value.
"Willing" is the correct word to use when describing my attitude toward trading Wright. In my heart, I really hope Alderson concludes keeping Reyes and Wright is the best way to rebuild and have a perennial winner. But if he concludes he has a better way to allocate the payroll, he has my support.
As far as the tea party ... I support legalizing drugs and prostitution. Do you think I would be embraced by the tea partiers? :)
I have not been to the new Yankee Stadium yet. I only go see the Yankees when I get free tickets. I won't pay any money to support their 3.8 billion dollar payroll. Your description is consistent with what others have told me. I have heard three Yankee fans say they prefer Citi Field to the new Yankee Stadium.
Joey..the reason I disagree is money. I understand taking that position with Murphy, he is still a young, minimum guy. But Pagan will make at least 4 million dollars next year. If the Mets sign Reyes, they have very little money to play with if 120 million dollars is a "hard" cap. That 5 million dollars will go a long way toward helping to solve the other problems you listed. Pagan is 30 and his career has been more down than up and he is injury prone. If I was GM, I would be hard pressed to fork over 4 or 5 million dollars for that.
That's a tough question because I think Turner's fate is linked to the other 7 position players. If the Mets replace Beltran with a quality bat, if Bay can give us 80% of the production we had hoped, if the Mets find a catcher who can hit ... then I would want Tejada at second. If the team looks similar to what we now see (i.e. loaded with offensive question marks) then I would prefer Turner at second.
I think Tejada may become a quality hitter but I think that is a few years away. Defensively I think Tejada can be a great second baseman. Of course, this assumes the Mets re-sign Reyes.
Turner, like Murphy is a nice guy to have coming off the bench. But I think his offensive upside is not much higher than what we have seen this year, so I view him as a stopgap..not a solution.
An infield of Wright, Reyes, Tejada and Ike would be their best defensive infield since Ventura, Ordonez, Alfonzo and Olerud.
Joey .. I was referring to MJK's comment "Murph does hit singles; and, I'll take that single over other much adored players who either strike out or hit solo homers when the Mets lead by 10 runs..."
Clearly he is taking a shot at Wright and saying he prefers Murphy to Wright. My mystification at the fascination with Murphy is well documented. But when fans say they would rather have Murphy than Wright .. I can't take them seriously.
On the other hand, your posts are always well thought out and logical (even when you disagree with me).
I won't quibble with you over what constitutes pedestrian (I factor in position but I guess in Murph's case, he doesn't have one). He is a good hitter and certainly above average.
If he had Kent, Uggla or Wright potential, I might be able to hold my nose when he is in the field. For me the warts outweigh his offense. but we have beaten the dead horse here. Let's check back next April and see what we think then.
I think you miss the point. The plays of the last two days are not the REASON for being fed up with Murphy ... they are simply the last straw. Recent reminders of his continual butchering in the field and on the bases. Wright's recent errors were very costly. However, Wright has a gold glove on his mantle and he just returned from the DL ... so he does have some "capital" to use before the fans will revolt against him.
It is hard to take someone seriously who would prefer to have Murphy and his pedestrian OPS (even in a career year) over David Wright.
Fair enough ... let's watch and see.
I agree with you, Murphy is not a good enough hitter to be a DH in the AL for a good team. But where I diverge with most Met fans is in the same breath they feel it is important for his bat to be in the lineup. So his offensive production is not good enough to be in the lineup as a hitter only but it IS good enough for him to be in a lineup where he is forced to play the field and can undo his positive offensive contributions with his glove (or lack thereof). I am surprised people don't see the contradiction there. Murphy does not have a natural position, he is awful everywhere. The defense of Jeff Kent and Dan Uggla types is tolerated because of their run production. As bad as they are/were on defense, Murphy is much worse AND Murphy is clueless on the basepaths. I understand why he is in THIS lineup...the Mets have very few guys who can hit. My point is he can not be part of any long term solution. Baseball instincts can't be taught nor can they be learned ... it is mostly a gift. Daniel was given the gift of hitting singles and doubles ... the rest of baseball is a mystery to him. I am not calling for his head because of one play. I have been saying this since the first year Murphy came up. I wanted the Mets to sell high back then because I thought his value would never be higher. Maybe now that he is in the batting title race, he may have some value and the Mets can get something for him. I almost feel bad for the kid to see how they are desperately looking for a place to hide him on the field. It is a futile effort and he continues to embarrass himself on an almost daily basis.
The Mets lost 8 of their first 9 home games back when they had that dreadful stretch in April. Since then they have been 21-18 at home. My glass is half full. :)
I actually agree with you on all counts. If they can get a high level prospect (i.e. someone who can reasonably be projected to be a starter sometime in the future)), go for it. If they flounder and are out of it by the deadline, dump him to the highest bidder. As far as next year ... a rebuilding team can not afford to hand over one of their eight starting positions to a guy who is running with knees that are bone on bone.
Can't win 'em all. Bottom line, I don't think Beltran will fetch anything useful for the future so I would rather have the pleasure of watching him for another 70 games.
@joey .. I agree with everything you said. Particularly the DelGado comment. So many people focus on Citi field but I think it was Wright being thrust into the position of being the "power guy" that caused his recent troubles, most notably the high K rate. However, I believe the light bulb will go off in his head and he will return to being that gap hitter who was an outstanding two strike hitter. This stint on the DL will help him. He has seen the Mets have success without him and without hitting homers. When he comes back, he will not be asked to be the savior ... he will be asked to not mess up the chemistry. I fully expect his mindset to be more relaxed. If he goes back to being that gap hitter, he should LOVE CitiField ... contrary to what most think, I believe CitiField is perfectly suited to Wright's game.
Thanks. I think the closer position is unique because it requires strong mental makeup. So I would just throw it open and see who grabs it because we don't know who has the mental toughness until we see them in those pressure situations. I agree Beato and Parnell are the initial candidates but I wouldn't discount Izzy since he has done it before. If I had to predict who would emerge as the winner of the competition, I would pick Beato. Parnell brings serious heat but it is straight as an arrow. I see Parnell being more susceptible to the long ball. When Beato has his sinker working, he can be nasty. Beato throws hard, has a decent curve and that sinker is a great double play pitch. If I needed to strikeout one batter, I would bring in Parnell. If I needed to get through an entire inning, I have more confidence in Beato. It is a real shame that Buchholtz is having issues because I love his stuff.
Well, we have to agree to disagree. Funny how the third base ump was at second base when Reyes slid in but the home plate ump was on the run trying to get to third when Reyes slid in there.
In addition to blogging I am also an umpire. The first thing they teach you is never to make a call while you are moving because your eyes need to be still.
I don't care about the call or the outcome of the game. I care about umps respecting the game and hustling at all times. If you think he hustled on that play, you have much lower expectations of the umps than i do.
Steve, the whole point of the post is that umps should be sanctioned for not hustling. His call was a big moment in the game, he blew the call. That is fine ... except the REASON he blew the call is he was out of position. Remember, he is supposed to be moving toward third as the ball is coming down into Grandersons glove. The third base ump had already started rotating. If you watch the replay, you will see Layne is on the run as he makes the call ... he was catching up to the play after not going to third from the get go.
The whole point is the ump did not hustle, similar to a batter who walks out of the box on a fly ball and then accelerates when the ball is dropped. Being out of position due to laziness is unacceptable ... regardless of whether he gets the call right or not.
Watch it again ...this time count the seconds from when the ball is on the decline into Granderssons glove .. THAT is when he should have been moving toward third ... then tell me if you still think he busted his a$$.
I was against the signing at the time. But after watching him, I really like Bay (the player .. not the production). Like it or not, the fortunes of the Mets are closely tied to him. If he is finished, the next two years are going to be rough. Let's hope this game relaxes him and propels him onto a hot streak.
He can tear up the contract as long as he gets paid at least 3.5 million next year (i.e. the amount he is currently guaranteed).

This Cecil Beaton photograph was quite provocative for the 1930s. A most elegant model sits precariously on a sawhorse, right in the midst of a simulated construction site. She wears an oversize laborer's jacket and a white silk dress, both by Schiaparelli. Her straw hat has a mica visor—all the better for reading the newspaper. The tableau-style image appeared in the January 15, 1936, Vogue.

2.0 out of 5 stars Toxic kiss,
EA Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
Laurell K. Hamilton branches out from her bestselling Anita Blake novels with a new, fae-oriented series. She really shouldn't have bothered. While "Kiss of Shadows" starts off dark and intriguing, the plot rapidly degenerates into a NC-17 fantasy without much more than sweaty gyrations to recommend it.
Part-mortal Princess Meredith NicEssus -- undercover as Merry Gentry -- is a P.I. in Los Angeles, which apparently is swarming with fey and fey-wannabes. Keeping her identity a secret is vital, since she knows the dangers that would follow being uncovered. But while investigating a supernatural date-raper (and falling prey to him) Merry's identity leaks out.
Before you can say "bonk 'em all," she is given an ultimatum by her aunt, the queen of the Unseelie Court: she and her evil cousin Cel are both going to try to have a baby. The one who succeeds will be the next ruler -- the other is toast. Merry is assigned a harem of fae men, all of whom want her as much as she wants them. Physically, anyway.
Here's a warning: "Kiss of Shadows" has a lot of sex. A LOT of sex. A sufficient amount that, among other things, Merry hops in the happy sack with any guy lucky enough to meet her. Oh, and she has a male harem. Sound like an adult movie? Well, it pretty much is -- lots of excuses to have sex, including an enjoyable rape (did a woman really write this book?) and Merry nearly being molested by the entire L.A.P.D. And that's before it gets really raunchy.
For anyone hoping for more than soft-porn, the book is lacking. It starts off strong, with a battered woman and a magical want ad, and Merry going undercover to lure out the magic-sucking guy involved. But once she bonks her selkie boyfriend, the plot goes down the tubes. What is worse, the sex obscures the mysterious cultures and subcultures of the fey and sidhe -- Hamilton hints at interesting cultures, rituals and different races, but seems to lose interest in the idea.
Without a developed backdrop, the actual plot feels rushed and half-finished. Hamilton also could use a better editor, since her writing quickly becomes repetitive -- lots of hair, unusual eye color, strange powers. All the men are madly attractive, chiseled, and devoid of any individual personality. All the women are beautiful, usually dainty.
Merry isn't terribly interesting -- she starts off as a moderately entertaining P.I. with a barbed sense of humor. Then it just sort of fades away. Queen Andais is also moderately interesting, as the villain of the piece. Merry's harem guys have paint-by-numbers personalities, and after the initial introductions they just become a heap of interchangeable sexy bodies.
Buried somewhere in "Kiss of Shadows" is a really good novella, but it's choked by a poorly thought-out soft-porn movie. Hamilton had the right idea, but the execution is a painful "Kiss."

M. I. "krushedvelvet" (Old Bridge, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Kiss of Shadows (Hardcover)
I am hopelessly hooked on Laurell K Hamilton. Every book that I pick up that she has written sucks me in and keeps me enthralled until the last page. I have read all of her Anita Blake books, but this was my first taste of The Merry Gentry series. Needless to say, it was very entertaining and action packed...things Ive come to expect from any Hamilton book. There was a bit of sexual overkill as well, but Hamilton does tend to go overboard in that area and I was not surprised or offended by it.The book oozed with a steady supply of unbearably hott men as Merry made her way from one adventure to the next...trust me, even though her life was constantly in danger, she was one lucky girl. All in all, this was a fabulous read. A definite keeper.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hooked on Laurell K. Hamilton!,
This is the first Laurell K. Hamilton novel I've read. Most people recommended her Anita Blake vampire series, but I decided to give this shorter series about faeries a whirl first. I can see why so many people are hooked on Hamilton. Hers is a world so beautiful and magical that you find it difficult to escape. A Kiss of Shadows is a great novel (with a great cover). Princess Meredith NicEssus, half faerie and half mortal, is hiding from her aunt, the Queen of Air and Darkness, and has assumed the identity of a PI who specializes in supernatural cases. But when her cover is blown, she succumbs to her aunt's wishes. To seduce and be surrounded by gorgeous immortal men doesn't seem like a bad thing, except that her life depends on it...
I loved the fanciful language throughout the novel. I gave up on fantasy fiction a long time ago due to the lackluster books in said genre. Laurell K. Hamilton's writing is wonderfully creative and incredibly riveting. I cannot fathom the bad reviews here. Most people have complained about the many sex scenes in the novel and thought that Meredith was promiscuous. I for one loved the erotic undertone. I am a fan of erotica and I thought that the sexual content in this novel wasn't bad at all. The one thing I didn't like about Shadows is that Ms. Hamilton over explains the plot. The novel should've been a bit shorter. Other than that, it's great. Laurell has made me fall in love with fantasy fiction all over again. I cannot wait to read the other parts of this series. And since I've become a vampire novel enthusiast, I shall definitely give her Anita Blake series a whirl.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please let me become a Fey Princess,
Scarletaka "Stacey" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: KISS OF SHADOWS, A (UNABR.) (11 CASS.) (Audio Cassette)
This was my first experience with anything by Laurell K. Hamilton. I got this unabridged audio version from my library and before I was finished with it I was online buying my own copy. Many reviews have told of the Story, so I won't add much of that. This book was a very big change from what I was normally used to. If you come out of this book shocked that it was sexual I have to ask what planet did you come from? This book was very graphic, no closed bedroom doors or waking up feeling glorious and fabulous. Laurell K. Hamilton goes into this mystery/detective/erotic story with an open dialogue about the fact that the Fey are very open with their nudity and sex. In no way did I ever find that I was misled with this book. It was erotic and yet the story line of Merry trying to discover who is ultimately trying to kill her is well written and thought out. The characters are all amazing. Merry of course is this gorgeous beautiful thing but an outcast of her family even though by all rights she is a Princess. Her cast of Merry men are a variety of beautiful, tortured souls who are trying to keep their friendships or relationships with Merry without upsetting their Queen her Aunt, another beautiful but sadistic monarch over her people. We are allowed looks into what really could be things that actual Royalty are concerned with which is gaining the throne and the lengths some people will goal to gain power. Queen Andais is a horrible sadist, but we are allowed a glimpse of her concern for the life of her son. Laurell K. Hamilton made me actually care about the villians of the story. Unlike many my two favorites of this story are Sholto the King who would be one of the chosen if he'd not been born with what the court considered an abomination a set of tentacle like arms that start below his chest. He's a tortured soul that I was hoping could find what he was seeking to be loved by another Fey. Then there is Cel the Prince (Queen Andais's son)the spoiled and sadistic bad guy he was so evil I liked him:) There is a man for everyone in a variety like a pile of snow flakes no two are alike. :) I enjoy this book and have read it and listened to the audio at least 10 or 12 times. This book is definitely an aquired taste. Me, I loved it. Laurell K. Hamilton never ceases to amaze me and I eagerly await the 3rd in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars catharsis, perhaps,
By A Customer
There are big similarities in all of Hamilton's books--and between her main characters. From Nightseer to Caress of Twilight... This book contains all that readers of Hamilton appreciate, a witty, intelligent, strong-minded female main character not afraid of her own sexuality--and a variety of mystical powers and sexy supernatural beings... However, these novels are a little different from Anita Blake's series. Any reader who's read Anita Blake from the begining realizes that Hamilton has paid less and less attention to Anita's job(s) as an Animator and a police contact. The police mysteries so integral in the first novels are still there, but the focus is now on increasing Anita's power, repetative internal moral debates, and sex, sex, and...more sex... (Which has compromised the integrity of Anita's character.) A Kiss of Twilight presents us with something different. The characterization of Merry Gentry and the other characters in this series is a little lacking compared to Anita Blake. However, it seems like Hamilton may be letting all out in this series. Mostly with the sex. Unabashed, fan-service type sex. This novel doesn't try to have many higher morals or purposes--from page 1, it's focused on magic, violence, and sex. Almost as if Hamilton tailored her character and setting to allow her to focus, with Merry Gentry, on things that compromise Anita Blake. It's not as deep, sure, but it's fun. Very fun. The fun of Anita Blake without the moral debates.

5.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing change...,
Obsidian Butterfly (Oregon) - See all my reviews
I too accidently ran into Laurell K. Hamilton's work. My ex husband bought it for me, assuming it was something I would like... and boy was he right!
From the moment I picked up "Kiss of Shadows", I could NOT put this book down. Merry was exactly the kind of release I needed from the typical Anne Rice novel. I loved how the storyline curved in all sorts of directions and I loved the introduction to Andais and Doyle. The [physical] scenes were daring and creative and not at all like a typical romance novel.
I've always been a lover of fantasy novels and Ms. Hamilton did a BRILLIANT job with this novel. I've been a VERY devoted Hamilton fan since this book and now own every novel she's written.
I recommend this novel to anyone who has an open mind for fantasy, [physical activity] and magic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshingly different,
allisonpnc "lovethoselhasas" (NC, USA) - See all my reviews
I bumped into Laurell Hamilton's work by accident - I needed an inexpensive item to bump up my order to qualify for free shipping, and "A Kiss of Shadows" was a "bargain book". It had some pretty good reviews, so I thought I would give it a try.
I loved it ! I was immediately hooked into a whole new world of faeries and magic in the modern world. I loved the escapism it offered and combined with the erotica (ok, hot sex !), I just couldn't put this book down.
Whether you like a mystery with some fantasy and sexuality thrown in, or you like your sexual fantasy stories with more than just the same old plot, this book is a good, fun read.
I can't wait to read the next book in this series - "A Caress of Twilight", and then maybe I'll venture over to Ms. Hamilton's 'Anita Blake' series as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great start before the hormones took over,
Valerie Caputa (USA) - See all my reviews
While I really liked the beginning of this book, I was very disappointed with that lack of follow through and closure. The main character has a distastefull enlarged ego and sexual appetite. The encounters were so often that they were not even interesting.
When you take away the plot and add sex, it is usually called porn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just wonderful,
By A Customer
I loved this book! Merry is a great character. After reading the reviews on this site, I was worried she'd be some promiscuious shallow Anita imitation. She's not! She's strong and fun and smart and sensual. And the world around her is so rich, the creatures so vividly described, that I could almost picture all the gorgeous sidhe and other fey folk Laurell K. Hamilton talks about. I didn't think there was that much sex, just enough - and the plotline was intriguing enough to keep me reading until 2 am. Shakespeare it's not, but I loved every minute of it and can't wait to read the next one!!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your time - don't bother reading this,
Intelektual Moron (Canada) - See all my reviews
What started out as a fresh new perspective on ancient Celtic legends goes on to become a series of lurid "physical intimacy" descriptions.
Sure, the Fae are ok with multiple partners, but do we need to read about Merry Gentry getting down and dirty with EACH AND EVERY one of them?
The story line has great potential, which is not explored at all. I'd say don't bother wasting your time on this or any of the other Merry Gentry books. Try the Anita Blake series instead.

Your Heart, God's Home
In His Presence: "I will rebuild the tabernacle of David which has fallen, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it" (Acts 15:16).
What makes the place where you live merely a house? What transforms it into a home? Many people purchase houses that never become their home while others live in an apartment they do not own, but they consider it home. The thing that makes a house a home is not a deed or piece of paper. Rather, it is the relationships that are shared by those who live within its walls. If there is a lack of love and respect, then you simply have a meaningless building framed with brick and mortar. However, if the relationships are firm and loving, even a small apartment can be a lovely place to live.
God has a favorite home. In Acts 15:16 He tells us that one day He will rebuild the tabernacle of David. It always helps to understand what God does not say. He doesn't say that He is going to rebuild the tabernacle of Moses or the grand temple of Solomon. Instead, He says, "I am going to rebuild the tabernacle of David."
What is so special about the place that David built? The answer is in Acts 13:22, "[God] said, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who will do all My will.'" It was David's character that drew God to his home. And it was through that kind of devotion that the Messiah would reign. Therefore, the tabernacle to be rebuilt was the spirit of David's kingdom.
The Lord loved to be with David because David loved being with Him. He passionately sought the Lord's presence. Therefore, David's tabernacle was unlike that of Solomon's because it was more about God's kingdom than a place to practice rituals. Though grand, Solomon's temple had veils within that separated the people from God. But David's kingdom was an example of love and obedience to God. David was always ready to worship; he was always in the presence of God.
This is what the Lord desires for us. He wants our hearts to be His home—His place of worship where He can meet with us and know that He is welcomed. Is your heart a heart of worship and one that seeks the God of love and truth?
One Minute Please
The passion of any house of worship must be Jesus Christ. Then it will be God's home.

My Abbey Weiss
Alc. 7.3% | IBUs 32
Trappist Weiss!!We took the malt bill of a trappist style (our version, of course), and the rumored boil of the monks: adding sugar to the kettle and boiling to carmelize, and then and then adding hops. We fermented this with a weiss strain gaining light esters of banana and bubblegum. YUM!
