What in the world does the post-it note mean? First time I've ever seen that.
I don't think long term holders have read anything but the sorry attempts at optimism by others in the same position.
"He has to know that he cannot meet the PIPE payments, and sooner rather than later, he will have to toss in the towel."
See above, crow. enoob owes malcbaby some "gratitude", no?
Maybe malcbaby's made a deal with hits-the-ball-a-mile enoob?
This'll prolly get zapped, but oh well.
Best "cure" for lower back pain for a herniated disc (that is, if it's not caused by a trauma) is doing as close as you can to several backbends to "milk" the disc back into where it belongs. Whenever my back aches, a few of those (which hurt good) and the ache goes. If a backbend is too much to hope for, at least put your hands on your hips to support yourself and arch your back as far backawrds as you can; or put your hands on a table, elbows locked and arms straight, your feet a couple of feet behind you, and let your lower back and hips sink into your stomach. That's a little like the cobra position (?) in yoga I think ... and doing that on the floor is great for stretching out stomach muscles and keeping you limber. And it goes without saying it's your stomach muscles that hold up your spine, so keep them strong!
Brought to you at no cost by Dr. Sanddollar who declined a discectomy and vertebrae fusion recommended by Y/NH Hopsital years ago. All the "specialist" said was, "You'll be back." That's all the challenge I needed to prove him w r o n g.
"an IQ above room temperature" ... too funny!
Hay, fella ... long time gone. Hope all goes well with you.
So, crow ... if no point pointing it out to IHUB, because they wrote the rule and read this forum like a hawk, why are his spamming posts still allowed?
Makes no sense to me.
"As for anyone reading all the info (most specifically unrelated to CDEX except for key words) capnmike posts, I doubt anyone does. Most are only repeats anyway."
But that would be spamming, wouldn't it, rotten? And according to the rules of this board, "Spam: Do not post the same or similar message on more than TWO boards. Spam posts will be removed and repeated and/or egregious offenses may result in suspension of your posting privileges."
Randy thinks that if Buffett knew about cdex he'd be putting tons of money into it!
Get to it, capnmike ... let Buffett be the recipient of all your incredible research!
"my guess would be you lost money, or had friends that lost money by investing in this technology."
partly right, capnmike.
I lost no money; essentially broke even as soon as I realized what was going on and sold. Friends who post here have lost money by not paying attention (as have posters who don't like me at all and people I don't know or care to know).
Be very proud of getting the story printed by Pete Smith. Big time, USA Today, fershirley.
Did you consider contacting Jonathon Weil to see if he'd publish it in the WSJ?
But I digress. It's Ann Jacklin and Pascal Pouligny you should contact. You know that as well as I do.
It's been "fun" chatting with you, capnmike, but now I'm going to go do other things.
You should, too. Like e-mail or call Jacklin or Pouligny.
Nevah 'appen, right?
"he e-mails information about the scanner to reporters who happen to as little as mention meth in a story."
I'm sure you do. As I said, 'round the bend.
Are you jesting? You've really gone 'round the bend, Mike! Pretty pathetic way to have to bring attention to a "breakthrough" technology!
Not really, capnmike. I do other things.
Do YOU want to contact Ann Jacklin or M. Pouligny?
gosh, mike ... I never knew. And just how successful was that earlier application? But I bet you could go back even further for some history of the "technology."
I see you're still avoiding replying to my suggestion that you get in touch with Ann Jacklin or M. Pouligny.
Whyzat?
soooooooooo, capnmike:
Why hasn't TX Children's been brought back to the fold?
And why don't you take the initiative and query Ann Jacklin yourveryownself? As I said, I'm sure she'd be candid and forthcoming.
You well know (or should know) that the ONLY reason valimeds have been "placed" at all those sites is because of M. Pouligny. He's who brought it to Ann Jacklin's attention. She was no doubt impressed with the Mott review, of course, and then she came to the Vegas affair to see it for herself.
But isn't it odd that the Mott report is a couple of years old, too? You seem to think 2006 is so important (as a before and after date to pay attention to) I'd think you'd also want an update from Mott. Maybe you could write them, too.
Go to the source, capnmike (which is NOT cdex PRs or its brand new slick website). For instance, go to M. Pouligny and see if you can get some straight answers from him about how many he actually sold or leased and how many he gave away as freebees.
But first go to Ann Jacklin. You've spent a lot of time researching her, and she's obviously entirely reputable, so if she tells you she was given the unit at no cost to her or the hospitals (which is exactly how it was arranged), and/or that their testing and input in the past 8 or 9 months have been useful or not useful and productive or nonproductive for the pharmacies she oversees, her remarks would be believable and informative. Don't you agree?
Get some real answers, capnmike, and then post them along with your endless spam.
This was Karen Gurwitch's "in due course" and all it took was a letter (e-mail) to her to find out.
"In answer to your specific question, the press release was approved some time ago. Between that time and recently, we performed various tests with the product and determined that it would not meet our desired needs at this time. The company had some ownership and management changes, and wasn't ready to provide us the product we had understood they would be providing. We are currently working with Valimed to identify how the product could be improved to help us enhance our current safety measures. In addition, I have been reviewing other technology improvements that could add value to the systems currently in place."
- The PR about TX Children's was written 9 months before Ms Gurwitch's reply to my query to her.
- The PR about Charing Cross was written 9 months ago.
Why don't YOU take the initiative this time and e-mail Professor Jacklin yourself and see if you can get an update? I'd think anyone with an ounce of integrity would be more interested in getting current information from the source than on hyping it all up with endlessly repeated and only vaguely related "research."
Really comprehensive research, capnmike ...
and now that you have all this information about Ann Jacklin, even including her photo, why don't you e-mail her and find out her current view about valimed. We all know her credentials, so there's really no more need to spam them any further. Instead, find out her opinions about valimed. Ask her what plans, if any, there are for Hammersmith and Charing Cross to actually purchase a valimed, now that she's had a gifted version in her facilities for what, almost a year? I'm sure you'd find her open and forthcoming.
capnmike ... help me out.
Why in the world did BHP Billiton Base Metals Group have a meth gun in the first place to donate? Did they get one from malc (omygawd, another gift?) who said, "Sssh, don't tell how you got this; just give it to the police department in your little village of Globe, please. We'll give you t'riffic press, trust me."
Gotta give malc credit ... he's trying to cover the globe with his "associations."
crow ... ask your conjurer woman if cdex's next great breakthrough technology will be something that will magically transform mining or oil/gas exploration and help companies make a kazillion dollars?
This could be BIGG!
"if they file it."
They wouldn't try that stunt, would they? A company headed by an SEC-savvy attorney?
Fershirleynot.
Okay, viking. No problem.
This is as funny when you quote it as it was when I first read it ...
"Mr. Philips discussed the financial prospects for the company and
stated that he anticipates that CDEX will become profitable in 2009 given
certain financial assumptions including sales."
"certain financial assumptions including sales"!
Gosh, capnmike, what other ways for a company to become legally and ethically (note the qualifiers) profitable are there? Sales of product usually is the primary way for a company to become profitable, though leases, licenses and royalties and the like could flow to the bottom line, I grant you. Or are there so many other ways, in addition to those, that might not be entirely on the up and up, so many that malc felt the need to add "including sales" into the company's financial assumptions?
Bizarro.
But the good and honorable, non-devious Rev. Phillips anticipates profitablity in 2009. (About time, I'd say, after all these years.) So it must be true, the company will become profitable in 2009, because a man of the cloth would never mislead his company's shareholders, would he? Fershirley not. Nevah 'appen.
On the other hand, maybe we should just wait and see as 2009 rolls around and as the months go on. Surely quarterly reports for 2009 will include the numbers, without any need for any hyperbole. The proof will all be in SEC filings along with supporting figures and material events, right? Or will we have to read the footnotes to find out just where that long-awaited profitablity comes from?
Fershirley you have a thought or two about this. Do share it/them with the rest of us.
... kinda like how many hopsitals/pharmacies on the list bought valimed, crow.
But malcbaby has never let details deter him from his primary goal.
WOW!
Nothing about what the job entails, what qualifications are expected/required, or compensation? Gosh ... I bet they'll get just swamped with resumes. EVERYONE who's ANYONE will want to work for this brilliant company.
Love the folksy welcome from malcbaby, though. I trust you'll put your post and link on all the cdex boards, capnmike?

I'm so sorry, diddy. No wonder you know so much about it today.
ot: Well ... that shows how much I know (not much). I thought it was the nerves or maybe muscles that were donated. Maybe even a healthy retina can be transplanted.
I've heard that the eyeball doesn't grow in size after birth ... it's for that reason babies seem to have such large eyes, because they're full size.
I wonder if a transplant of the entire eyeball, with all nerves and muscles still attached, is possible yet. If not, it will be eventually, I imagine.
Fascinating stuff.
Diddy ... didn't "interference" create some of the prollems for poteet et al on the Capitol steps back when? Atmospheric or sumpin? Just amazing how many things can sabotage a great new seek-and-find-breakthrough testing device, whether the device is to locate buried landmines or ID (?) drug contaminants. I think loch/cdex should have stuck with what they knew best: boolsheet (tm crow).
OT ... I know. It was a shot, though (not a drip), sheet flipped back (the nurse and my father never exchanging glances) and an additional shot given, presumably more morphine, after a prescribed and presumably carefully measured shot had been given for pain only a few minutes earlier -- that one not a nanosecond before it had been ordered by her attending. After the following shot, within another few minutes she sighed and died. Her suffering was over. Hard not to put 2 and 2 together. All this was very early in the dawn hours.
The ONLY funny part was my father had been called in the middle of the night -- he raced to the hopsital, leaned on his horn, went through every light he came to, and not a cop in sight -- which he hoped there would be to give him a police escort, lead the way, siren blaring and lights flashing. Where were the men in blue when he needed them?!
Her eyes were willed to an eye bank. So somehwere someone is walking around with her beautiful eyes, I like to think (though I know it was only the optic nerves or something hidden that got used, not the corneas or irises, but still).
crow ... all clozer will do if he really gets pist is add more (#*#&!@^!@*$*(!#*(!(#($&$#&!@#&!!!!!!^@#$^#$^%&@#*@$^@*$*(@!!!!!!!!!!!! to whatever he posts. Remember how "pro-active" he was with his forensic accountants or whatevers? Lotsa bigg talk but very little action, as I remember. Wonder why! He knows as well as anyone what a farce it all is and has been for ... how many years? But he made out OK back when, before he became a highly moral and principled person so it's all good.
paige ... I'm not being hateful. Do you LIKE what you've been put through these past years at the hands of daBeez and malcbaby?
But to reinforce your view of me, I happen to think Jack (?) Kevorkian does a good thing for people dying slow, painful deaths. When the body is being kept alive just to be kept alive, who wins? Certainly not the person inhabiting the body or the people who love him/her.
I believe my mother was given an OD of morphine when she was 45, which killed her. How the nurse ever accounted for the "extra" dose will forever remain a mystery. Was it an insensitive act of an uncaring woman or an act of kindness? On some deep level, I thank her, though the loss was profound for all of us, including my father, my older sister (in college then), her mother (who knew as we all did what she'd already been through and what lay ahead), me (in high school) and my younger sister (age 18 months, who btw has absolutely no memory, on a conscious level, of her mother). The woman inhabiting that body (my mother's) was terminally ill and in great pain. Would you, in her family's position, have wanted her to suffer (remember, terminally ill) for who knows how much longer?
If you hate Las Vegas so much, then why don't you and your family just move away? Or are you staying there to fight another day? It sounds like a terrible place to call home.
Best of luck to you, paige.
crow ... I'd guess (with some cause) that some of those hospitals [edit: hospital pharmacies] where valimed was placed for "testing" (free, at no charge, etc) were hoping there might be something they could contribute to the meth gun development, too. I wonder whatever happened to any input they gave cdex?
paige ... someone should take pity on you and all other "investors" and just pull the plug. This living in [edit: in pain and in] a vegetative state has gone on long enough, don't you think?
They already have, tmucc ...
Sure they will, crow ... just like the cute little elf did its work on buried land mines.
I remember that name!
I think arloco and ~kidd do, too!
oops ... my misteak. Apologies, viking.
tmucc ... open letters to management are capnmike's domain! Though his were mostly cya letters, I think (and thought at the time).
crow ... yhm
I still love this, capnmike:
"CDEX Inc. announced the first sale of a ID2
MethScanner. CDEX also has continued with production of the MethScanner by:
finalizing the design of the MethScanner and the $35,000 custom mold with a
production life cycle of approximately 1/2 million MethScanner casings, which
should decrease the cost of producing units and increase the rate of production.
CDEX stated that with adequate demand, its production capacity could be
approximately 150 MethScanners per week by the middle of September. In addition,
CDEX discussed adding a software feature allowing a user to download data from
the MethScanner to a computer and into a report format; and, [discussed] researching the
possibility of adding heroin and cocaine to the MethScanner's detection
capabilities.
Wonder who cdex discussed those things with ... bet I can guess. Maybe she has a British accent. Or maybe he has a French accent.
clozer is really really angry now, crow ... and capnmike is still sadd, I imagine.
I think it would take more than new management to make this company a contender. It would take a product that's worth something. Just one.
Since loch/cdex has always shown a flair for latching onto the newest cause (eliminating landmines following Diana's death), now meth detection and compromised drugs in hospital phamacies, maybe they'll next focus on a "system" to fix the financial health of the US. Target buyers: houses like Lehman and AIG. They've just gotta think BIGG(er).
I wonder if M. Pouligny has any contacts on Wall Street. Or if his contract and tenure with the company has run its course.
