The House Committee on Ways and Means (Archer) on the status and preparedness of Federal agencies to correct the Year 2000 computer problem.
Kenneth Apfel, Commissioner, testified, February 24, 1999.
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:
Thank you for inviting me to be here today to discuss the Social Security Administration's (SSA) Year 2000 conversion efforts and the implications for beneficiaries and taxpayers. SSA recognized very early the potential effect on beneficiaries and workers created by the Year 2000 problem. I am pleased to be here today to report on our progress and plans for the future.
Impact on SSA Operations
SSA relies on a vast computer network to keep track of earnings for 145 million workers, take six million applications for benefits a year, and pay monthly benefits to over
50 million beneficiaries. Because so many people depend on SSA's systems, we began to work on the Year 2000 problem as soon as it was identified in 1989. The magnitude of this project cannot be overstated: we had to review systems supported by more than
35 million lines of in-house computer code, as well as vendor products, while coordinating efforts with State and Federal agencies and third parties.
SSA's ability to provide world class service to beneficiaries, workers and their families depend on a complex infrastructure that is crucial to our ongoing operations. Power, data, and voice telecommunications, along with the Agency's computer operations hardware and software, are essential to ensuring that SSA's business processes are able to continue uninterrupted. Our automated systems are the means by which SSA is able to provide service on demand to the public.
SSA has five core business processes through which we maintain the accuracy of beneficiary records and process and adjudicate claims:
- Enumeration, the process through which SSA assigns Social Security numbers;
- Earnings, the process which establishes and maintains a record of an individual's earnings;
- Claims, the process comprising actions taken by SSA to determine an individual's eligibility for benefits;
- Postentitlement, the process involving actions that SSA takes after an individual becomes entitled to benefits; and
- Informing the Public, the process by which we disseminate information about the programs we administer.
I am confident that our systems will function on and after the Year 2000 to ensure that our core business processes proceed smoothly and without disruption as we move into the 21st century. When we open our offices for business on January 3, 2000, we expect to be prepared to provide our full complement of services to the American public with the accuracy and reliability that they have come to expect from SSA.
January 2000 Benefit Payments
We are happy to report that our benefit payment system is 100 percent Year 2000 compliant. SSA has worked very closely with the Treasury Department, Federal Reserve and the Post Office to ensure that Social Security and Supplemental Security Income checks and direct deposit payments for January 2000 will be paid on time. Since October 1998, payments for both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income programs have been made with Year 2000 compliant systems at both SSA and Treasury.
SSA is working closely with the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve to identify any Year 2000 problem that might affect direct deposit payments. If a problem should occur in January 2000, the Treasury Department will quickly issue a replacement check after recertification by SSA, and SSA offices will provide emergency payment services to beneficiaries with critical needs
I do not consider Social Security's job to be done until timely and correct benefits are in the hands of all of our beneficiaries.
Status of SSA's Year 2000 Implementation Efforts
I would like to discuss the status of SSA's progress in our Year 2000 implementation efforts.
All of our mission critical systems have been made Year 2000 compliant. These are the systems that support the core business processes I described earlier.
Because they are so vital to our disability claims process, SSA is overseeing and managing the effort of assuring Year 2000 compliance of State Disability Determination Service (DDS) systems. Fifty State DDSs have automated systems to support the disability determination process. As of January 31, 1999, all 50 DDS automated systems are Year 2000 compliant and are being used to process disability claims.
We recognize that it is not enough for our agency to be Year 2000 compliant if all our trading partners are not ready. Therefore SSA has worked with all of our trading partners, and I am pleased to say that 99 percent of our data exchanges are Year 2000 complaint. We are working with our partners to test the remaining 1 percent and get them implemented as quickly as possible.
SSA has inventoried all of our telecommunications systems and we have a plan and schedule for all fixes and upgrades. Numerous acquisitions have been made that will result in the installation of telecommunications software and hardware upgrades. SSA is also working with the General Services Administration (GSA) in this effort, particularly with regard to testing vendor fixes. SSA's goal is to have all telecommunications compliant by the end of March 1999.
SSA continues to work with GSA in addressing the Year 2000 problem in the areas of our facilities infrastructure. We have inventoried our building systems and testing contracts have been awarded. Testing has commenced in some buildings, with all sites progressing as scheduled.
Our independent verification and validation contractor, Lockheed Martin, completed a comprehensive review of SSA's Year 2000 program and submitted their finding in October 1998. Their report covered all aspects of Year 2000 preparedness activities and found our Year 2000 methodology to be sound and feasible.
Focus of Activities in 1999
Now that all of our mission critical systems are Year 2000 compliant, we have taken steps to make sure we do nothing to introduce possible date defects into these systems. Since we must continue to modify these systems to accommodate regulations, recent legislation, and other required changes, we have instituted a re-certification process that uses a commercial computer software tool. In addition we have instituted a moratorium beginning in July 1999 on the installation of commercial off-the-shelf software and mainframe products. A similar moratorium is in place for discretionary changes to our software beginning in September 1999. The moratoriums will remain in effect through March 2000.
Business Continuity and Contingency Plan
Obviously, we all hope that there will be no need for backup or contingency plans. However, SSA recognizes that our systems are dependent on infrastructure services, such as the power grid of the telecommunications industry and third parties, which are beyond our control. Therefore, SSA has developed a Business Continuity and Contingency Plan. The plan was first issued March 31, 1998 and it is updated quarterly. The plan is consistent with Government Accounting Office guidelines and is being used as a model by other agencies and private sector organizations.
The plan identifies potential risks to business processes, ways to mitigate each risk and strategies for ensuring continuity of operations if systems fail to operate as intended. The SSA Business Continuity and Contingency Plan addresses all core processes, including disability claims processing functions supported by the DDSs.
As part of our Business Continuity and Contingency Plan, we have in place local plans for each of our field offices, teleservice centers, and processing centers, hearing offices and state DDSs. We have also developed contingency plans for benefit payment and delivery, building operations, human resources, and communications. Our benefit payment and delivery plan was developed in conjunction with the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve.
I would like to conclude by repeating that SSA was at the forefront of Government and private organizations in addressing Year 2000 issues. We are proud of our long-standing reputation as a leader when it comes to providing customer service, and we are confident that we will be prepared to continue that tradition when the new millennium arrives.
I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

The date was May 7, 1945, the day World War II ended in Europe. Susie Henry remembers it well — for a lot of reasons.
The date was May 7, 1945, the day World War II ended in Europe. Susie Henry remembers it well — for a lot of reasons.
One is that it was her first day on the job behind the soda fountain at Usry Drug Store. Another is that she'd hardly gotten to work when owner Forney Usry closed the store so his employees could celebrate what was to become known as VE Day (Victory in Europe) in the U.S. and Great Britain.
Even more important to Susie was knowing that with the war ending in Europe, her husband, Odes, soon would be coming home. They had not seen each other for 27 months, since he'd been deployed to Europe in May 1943. Odes already was in the Army when he married his 16-year-old girlfriend Sept. 28, 1941. He served in the U.S. Army Medical Corps.
So far, the story is similar to that of a lot of young couples during the Second World War. Sweethearts married young. The boys went to war and their young wives went to work, longing for their husbands at night and praying for their safe return.
There, the story of Susie Henry takes a different twist. Here is the way she remembers it:
"Usry Drug Store was situated across from the American National Bank and was the first building in Gadsden to be air conditioned. People just piled in there. We had customers from the bank, the lawyer's and doctor's offices nearby and then ... school children when they would come through downtown after school let out.
"Lots of people came in because of the air conditioning, but they also came in for the ice cream that Mr. Usry would order from Chattanooga and have shipped in on the train. It was very good ice cream and we had to hand dip it. We dipped it for sundaes, banana splits, malted milks and shakes. We would dip it out and sell it in small dishes right there in the store, or put it in cardboard cartons when people wanted to carry it outside.
"Although a lot of people would come in out of the summer heat to cool off, I never really got cold because we had do to work so fast and hard. Several days each week we would have as many as 1,000 tickets just for fountain sales. I'd work 60 hours a week, only getting off every other Sunday."
Susie said in addition to the ice cream treats, lunch also was sold at the counter, where people could sit on stools and eat or carry the food to a table.
"When Irby Jones was working there, people came in just to eat his chicken salad," Susie said. "They said it was the best in town. We also sold ham, pimento cheese and other meat sandwiches in addition to soup and other food. It really kept us busy just looking after the lunch crowd."
Although she didn't really notice the air conditioner while working, she sure did at quitting time.
"When I'd open the door and step out on the street to go home, the hot air would take my breath away," Susie recalled. "But I was young and quickly adjusted to the sudden switch in temperature. Then when I got home, I had an electric fan."
At that time, there were drug stores on just about every corner in downtown Gadsden. But as times changed in the post-war boom, they started dropping off.
When Usry closed, Susie accepted a similar position at Snellgrove Drugs. At first she worked the soda fountain, but by the time Snellgrove closed in 1994, she had been the cashier plus had worked all over the store.
Overall, Susie worked 47 years and could rightly be called "The Drug Store Queen" of Gadsden. She said she remembers a lot of drug stores coming and going during her career, such as Vance, Lane, Cross, Donaway's, Allen, Cottles and Woods. And she remembers two women who already were working at Usry when she started — Eva Dunn of Glencoe and Delorus Baker of Gadsden, who attends church with her today.
By the time she changed jobs, most stores had air conditioning, but Susie said Snellgrove's air conditioning wasn't as cool in the summer nor as warm in the winter as Usry had been. She had better working hours, however, getting off two Sundays a month rather than one.
When Snellgrove closed, Susie went looking for other work, applying at several places.
"I was close to 70 then, and when asked my age, I'd just say '70,'" she recalled. "They would say, 'You sure don't look 70,' but they still wouldn't hire me. Finally, I answered an ad for a worker at Meadowbrook Baptist, to care for children on Wednesday nights and during planned events during the week. The pastor there knew of my Sunday work at East Gadsden Baptist and hired me on the spot. He wasn't concerned about my age. I worked there for 10 years."
Susie said after the war, her husband took a job at the steel plant, retiring in 1981, and the couple became involved in church work. During 21 summers, they spent their vacations on mission trips, and Susie taught Sunday school for pre-school children for 58 years, the last 56 without missing a Sunday. Even when her late husband's funeral was scheduled for a Sunday afternoon, she went to church and taught her class that morning. All other funerals for family and friends have been on weekdays.
Susie was 88 years old last February and still attends church every Sunday. She still drives, does all her cooking and cleaning and said since surgery in 1960, she hasn't been sick a day. She misses Odes, who passed away four years ago, but their son, Eugene, and his family keep an eye on her.

Justin Bieber Rants on Instagram That He's Not a Loser Like That Lindsay Lohan [UPDATED]
Looks like that heart-to-heart with Will Smith was all for naught, because Justin Bieber has taken to Instagram once again with some controversial words.
Specifically that he's not going into rehab (nor does he deserve to be in rehab), that he's seen the entire world and that he's not a financial failure like Lindsay Lohan.
Here's the Biebs' latest rant. Paragraph breaks are ours (so your eyes don't get swimmy), but the spelling, punctuation and grammar are all his.
Everyone in my team has been telling me "keep the press happy" but I'm tired of all the countless lies in the press right now. Saying I'm going to rehab and how my family is disappointed in me. My family is beyond proud, and nothing's been said by them. My grandparents wouldn't know how to reach to press even if they did want to so that was a lie and rehab c'mon.
If anyone believes I need rehab that's their own stupidity lol I'm 19 with 5 number one albums, 19 and I've seen the whole world, 19 and I've accomplished more than I could've dreamed of, I'm 19 and it must be scary to some people to think that this is just the beginning. I know my talent level and I know I got my head on straight. I know who I am and I know who I'm not. My message is to believe.
My albums could be about anything but my messages have been to never say never and believe, not to believe in me but to believe in yourself … I honestly don't care if you believe in me because I believe in me, and look where that's gotten me so far …
I'm writing this with a smile on my face and love in my heart. Letting you know firsthand how I feel rather than have these stories linger. I'm a good person with a big heart. And I don't think I deserve all of this negative press. I've worked my ass off to get where I am and my hard work doesn't stop here. I'm growing up finding myself while having people watch me and criticise me every day. I think I'm doing pretty damn good.
And to those comparing me to Lindsay Lohan look at her 2012 tax statements
He added a winky face at the end of that last line, but it was still a pretty douchey thing to say. Besides, as countless wealthy blowhards have shown, money is not a sign of class.
Justin (or someone on his team) must have realized the jab at LiLo was going too far, because he later deleted his entire missive and reposted an amended version without the reference to her (see the update to this story below). But since screenshots are forever, it may be gone -- but it's not forgotten.
UPDATE: Bieber has issued somewhat of an apology via TMZ, saying, "My post was only up for a few minutes but I realized right away that what I said at the end was wrong and distracted from what I was trying to say. I immediately deleted it and rewrote it so it would show what I was really feeling and those words are up now."

Cecily Joque - Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County about adopting a senior dog.
"If they have a week, if they have a month, does it really matter? If you treat them with kindness and respect, and give them a cushy bed, they'll love you for it."
Hi dearest friends.......Weenie here
Yesterday Mommy did our March adoption post for ATDR. I was so happy to learn that 2 senior ladies, Ginny & Forsythia, finally found their furever homes. It made me think about when I was adopted a year ago. I was 9 years old and blind, but Mommy didn't care. She wanted another dog because my Sissy, Mona wasn't getting any younger, Mommy thinks she's 9 or maybe 10 like me, and had just gotten Cushings. She didn't want to go through what she did when she lost Samamtha, be alone and lonely. She could have adopted a younger dog but she choice me instead.
Yesterday Mommy posted the poem "ONE BT ONE". I felt that same way too when Mommy choice me even though I couldn't see her or my dear Mona. I have lots of doggie friends both young and old & I love everyone but Momm says there's something special about us oldtimers. So I got her to make Smilebox of me and some my senior friends.

Hyundai has been on quite a roll these past few years, and with the new 2012 Elantra, they are looking to to move the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic aside to become the leading compact car from Asia. The U.S. manufactures are on the case this time though as the new Chevy Cruze and Ford Focus are very strong competitors in this market now. So how good is the new Elantra? Watch the video and find out.

MIDDLEBURY — Grass rustled in a muddy, sulphur-smelling ditch in Bridport, and just beyond the property line, vehicles hummed through fields of long grasses, cutting and sweeping the cuttings up to store for winter feed.
The long, deep ditch sits close to the edge of 175 acres along the Lemon Fair River that was, until recently, agricultural land. Years before that, the area was a wetland vital to the health of both the Lemon Fair and, at its end, Lake Champlain.

|By appointment
The staff is very friendly and the PA I met with took her time and answered any questions I had. I would recommend Grekin Skin Institue to anyone looking for a good skin specialist
I actually had my appointment on time which was amazing and the staff was amazing. Everyone was really nice and helpful. Overall, I would go there again for any dermatology related issues.
Very friendly and efficient staff and Doctors.
Very friendly staff.
Exceptional service and experience, I went in to get treated for my acne, which has been an ongoing issue for a few years now, they examined my face, asked me questions pertaining to my issues and what I experience, they brought in doctor Grekin and he did the same. He explained to me what was going on with my skin, he explained what products would work best for me and why so, as well as assured me that he would make my skin better. he shared a brief experience with him own experience with acne saying his was "much worst" and that he would get me better in due time. I felt secure and fell better about my face.
Great doctors, friendly staff. Helpful and understanding.
From the moment I stepped into the lobby I was greeted by exceptionally friendly staff. My specialist was welcoming me into the treatment room within a few brief minutes. She was very through and patient with answering the questions I had. She explained my treatment in depth and made me feel very comfortable. An outstandingly wonderful experience overall. Highly recommended.
Very professional & friendly staff. No wait time, took me right away! Did excellent work. I am very happy! Thank you Dr. Michael Whitworth & Staff!
Dr Diamond is great. Jen is amazing and I look forward to seeing her every time I go. They always get you in quickly and everyone is so nice. Also, my skin is looking great.
Friendly, organized, and attentive staff.
Would definitely recommend Grekin Skin Institute. Pleased with the staff, appt times available, my procedure and the outcome.
They were very professional and friendly I would go there again. I also would recommend to others. Thank you for your services.
My dermatologist Dr Manz referred me to Dr Whitworth at Grekin for Mohs surgery to remove a skin cancer on my forehead. Dr Whitworth and his assistants communicated clearly, and did an excellent job of the surgery. The Mohs process takes time but Dr Whitworth was patient and thorough to give me a very good result. I certainly recommend him whenever a careful job of surgery is desired.
Highly recommended!!! Seen promptly! Im a registered nurse ...knowledgeable n treated my issues!!! Thank you!!
Always so friendly.Great place to go
Fantastic. From start to finish for mohs surgery. All office staff, doctors, P.A were great.
GREAT PRICES & GREAT StAFF
OMG, Just the Best experience ever for having annoying surgery on your face. Doctor and staff were wonderful. How can I be so positive? Because I've had the Mohs procedure done before, by another nameless clinic. Best part is NO REAL Pain afterwards. I did not even take a Tylenol for pain. 3 thumbs up for these guys. I will never get my basal cell carcinoma scraped by anyone else, ever!
Extremely satisfied! As a black person, I'm always worried about dealing with doctors who do not understand dark skin. I've had several issues with dermatologists in the past just prescribing any medications they came across that mentioned my symptoms. And I was desperate, so I went along with almost every suggestion. I suffer from hyperpigmentation and scalp dermatitis. The docs and support staff here at Grekin have really good communication with one another. They bounced ideas off one another and made me feel more confident about my skin with their suggestions. The Grekin products are actually reasonably priced and I plan to buy again. Only suggestion is to provide paperwork with a brief description of each medication. I had to call the pharmacy to confirm a list of medications, but sometimes the spelling is difficult so it'd be easier to have this information upfront. I am looking forward to my next appointment because Dr. Grekin said he'd make me look like a movie star. 😁
I had a huge cyst removed from my head,procedure went great.The doctors and assistant were great,very pleased.
Best place ever. I've been to a couple of dermatologist and this one has exceeded my expectations. Dr. Rubin and assistant Jennifer are like the tag team of knowledge. They explain everything and if you Rx can't get filled for what ever reason they will find a way to make things happen.
Professional, yet friendly. Make you feel as if you are their most important client.
Friendly and professional. I didn't wait too long to be seen by the doctor and the session was friendly and professional. The doctor and nurse explained what would be happening and answered all my questions to my satisfaction.
The atmosphere is so welcoming at this location, the staff is professional and I felt very comfortable from the first moment I walked in. I will definitely be going back and definitely recommend it to anyone needing a Dermatologist!
Efficient and very helpful.
Great service, very minimal wait time, swift diagnosis, solution and treatment performed on the spot. Healing better than expected. We are cash patients by choice, was much less financially than we were prepared for, that's always positive!
After dealing with acne as an adult for 3 years, I was so frustrated that nothing I tried was a permanent fix. I went to other Dermatologist offices and they only recommended a acne medication that I was uncomfortable with taking. I was talking to a friend about my issue and they recommended Grekin Skin Institute. I made my first appointment and they got me in within the same week. My first appointment was at the end of April and by May it was completely clear! Even after one week it was noticeably better! I'm so thankful for Nurse Jackie and her wonderful staff!!! They are wonderful and they will help you feel like you again!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Dr. Rubin is great. Very friendly staff. Great, early appointment times.
Always timely and friendly. We love it there!
We have had great service from the staff and doctors. I would recommend this place to anybody.
The Warren, Michigan office is great. The service provided by the staff is professional, courteous, and prompt. A big shout out must go to the young lady who cheerfully greets you and does the scheduling.
amazing care and they get you in quickly. would highly recommend them to anyone.
Awesome advice and treatment. 6:30a.m. Appt. 😃
Dr. Cory Rubin helped me greatly and explained to me my symptoms. I am almost 40 years old and he is the first Dr. to solve my intermittent skin concerns that I get once every few weeks. I have had these hair folical skin inflammation concerns since I was 16 or 17 years old and finally I have found some real answers and solutions to alleviate/reduce my skin irritations. The staff is awesome and they got me in the Next Day for an appointment, at 6:30 a.m. so I did not miss work. Thank you everyone at this office and also thanks to Dr. Rubin. 😃👍🏼
Excellent overall experience. One issue solved from my first visit, the other issue may need a second visit.
Personal Service Thorough Care
Having a full body skin cancer check is not something you do often. The doctor made me feel comfortable and addressed all my concerns. She was thorough and did not rush. Any questions I had were addressed completely.
Comfortable and immediate service.
We were first time patients, they understood the urgency, and made time to squeeze us in for a same day appointment, without hesitation! The office staff is very friendly and made us feel welcome and important.
Awesome doctors
I have had two great doctors in the last month and they were both very good. They were super at diagnosing my problem and prescribing the correct medications. I would recommend Dr. Diamond and Dr. Ruben to anyone needing a dermatologist.
It was my first experience. Very clean, the girl at the front desk was super nice and very professional. The medical assistant, can't remember her name but she wasn't the most pleasant person, I don't know if she was having a bad day even though it was early in the morning but she could be nicer. Dr Rubin and his resident were professional and nice. I would recommend to others no doubt
My experience from the front desk to Dr Rubin and his PA was exceptional. First, I mistakenly went to the wrong address so I showed up 15 minutes late. They accommodated me and I was still able to see Dr Rubin. His assistant was cheerful and kind as well as understanding. When Dr Rubin entered, I immediately liked him. I thought he was amazing. He explained everything clearly and took his time with me. I was extremely impressed with the entire office.
Great group of professionals, made sure the staff understood purpose of visit and treatment required
See above
Wonderful staff
I met with Dr. Rubin for the first time on November 11, 2017. From the moment I stepped into the office I felt so very comfortable. Jennifer was wonderful as well and listened to my concerns. I will be going back for a surgical procedure next month and I know I will be in good hands.
Very Friendly and professional staff
Being greeted with a smile was most important to me and their services are Awesome five stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Dr. Rubin
Best dermatologist ever!
This is the third dermatologist that I've seen because the first two couldn't figure out what was wrong and just kept giving me topicals that did nothing. Dr. Rubin knew exactly what it was and isn't messing around with my treatment plan. They're very thorough and very caring and patient. I'm in love and can't wait to get this cleared up!
The staff is very polite and knowledgeable. This is the only place that I will trust with my skin.
Professional and friendly
I felt very comfortable with all the staff and Drs, treated with respect and everyone in the office is so friendly. I would recommend Grekin Skin Institute.
Very satisfied with the services in this local office.
I am a former long time patient of Dr. Collier. I saw Dr. Rubin for a spot on my cheek and numerous scaly patches on my face. He removed the spot and sent it for a biopsy. He also froze several of the questionable patches with liquid nitrogen. The spot turned out to be cancer and Dr. Whitworth operated on it last week. He was able to get it all on the first try. I was very glad it was over. The stitches came out yesterday. I am very grateful to them for their treatment. It is not enjoyable undergoing these treatments, but they did an excellent job.
Dr Rubin is so professional and caring. His assistant Jennifer was so knowledgeable. Them together is the ultimate dual. I'm a patient for life.
Trans Friendly
So often, as a trans person, I experience medical abuse from doctors who are supposed to care for me. That was NOT the case here. I felt safe. I was not dead named. I was not kicked out or yelled at (which has happened at other places). Dr. Rubin made me seem like I was taking an active role in my patient plan, not just a top-down procedure from him. He let me know that what we were doing was unusual, but without making me feel like a freak or a medical anomaly. He cares about his patients and is passionate.
Wonderful place
They were very friendly and knowledgeable.
Great Experience
Gail and the team are always very friendly and professional. I always get in on time and out quickly. They are very efficient and my experience is always very positive.
Professional and friendly
I recently had a laser treatment with Gail and she was fantastic. Very informative, thorough, and explained all of her steps before completing the procedure. She was so friendly, outgoing, and talkative throughout the procedure which minimized any discomfort. I definitely will return to see her for a second treatment!
Was in for my 3rd checkup and Jackie zapped three spots and don't go back for 6 months for another checkup. It had to be 6 months because we will be out of state for 6 months.
From the time I checked in till I checked out Everyone is friendly & helpful!! The office manager is complimentary & caring! Dr Rubin is knowledgeable & put mind to ease!! I won't go anywhere else but to Grekin Skin Institute!!
Great Quality Care
Loved the whole staff - everyone was super friendly and very professional -
They do a great job. I really like Dr. Jackie. She seems to know a lot about my problem. All the nurses are very professional and nice.
Professional Exam for Skin Cancer
I visited the Grekin Skin Care Institute on Oct. 2, 2017, to have my skin looked at to determine if a spot was Cancerous. I was very pleased with the visit from the time I signed in at the front desk. I feel I was treated respectfully and professionally by Dr. Duggan and the Nurses. Very pleased with all aspects of the visit.
Best Dermatology office in Michigan
My son and I both see Dr Rubin and he is hands down the best dermatologist. He is so knowledgeable and knows how to treat African Americans which I found to be difficult in my previous experience with another dermatologist. His aggressive therapy has jumpstart my hair growth in just 2 months. My son's skin is glowing and making great progress. The office staff is absolutely wonderful and compassionate. I was so surprised when I discovered one of my favorite MA's is the office manager. I highly recommend this office to all individual that are looking for a dermatologist!!!
very professional and helpful
Doctor and staff were caring and took the time to educate and answer all questions
I was totally satisfied with my experience at Grekin Skin Institute on 9-22-17. Dr. Rubin is highly competent in his profession and I have the utmost confidence in his assessment and treatment of my skin conditions. His assistant was also extremely helpful.
Great staff
Saw the PA, Jenny. She was awesome. I'm sad she won't be at this location any longer but am not worried because We have never had a bad experience with anyone here. Everyone is always so nice, friendly and professional.
Everyone was friendly and professional.
Fantastic experience
I met with Dr Rubin after calling a few other dermatologists before. the warren office was able to get me a same day appt and has a very friendly staff. Dr Rubin was amazing. Very knowledgeable, friendly and informative. Best experience I've had with a doctor period. I've finally found my dermatologist!
Completely informed me what was being done. Very through all. I've been there before that's why never changed. Deborah Knisel
Service here has always been good.
And now it seems even better .... if that is possible.
Good care
I have been a patient of Grekin Skin Care for over 20 years. They have always taken care of my skin cancer issues. Never had any problems. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a dermatologist. All the staff is friendly
Very nice and friendly office.
Had an area from my scalp removed plus other spots checked and it was done very quickly. The Dr. was super friendly as was Bradley the medical assistant and it was very nice talking with him and he was very helpful in answering questions. The office staff was very nice and friendly as well. I will definitely recommend Grekin Skin Institute to my friends.
exceptional service
This is the first time at this center and i was impressed with the service. My appointment time was within reason and Dr. Grekin took the time to address my problem. The nurse was also exceptionally professional and both had an excellent beside manor. I would and will recommend this practice to everyone.
Great service & staff
I would highly recommend Grekin Skin Institute. I have been coming here for a few years and the staff is always fast to get me in and out on my lunch hour. They are also very upbeat and positive every time I have visited the office.
Everybody working there has very good bedside manners
Sing dr. Ruben I think he's an excellent doctor and I'm very satisfied with his work
High Quality and Fast Service
The staff members at the Warren location are phenomenal. They were able to fit me in to a next day appointment after I experienced a bad break out. Once at the office I was seen within 10 minutes. I was greeted with a smile and the care they expressed for me as an individual was amazing. I can't wait to return next week.
High Quality Service
I Love Grekin Skin Institute. I have been coming here since I was in High School and the service has always exceeded expectations. Thanks!
Cancer removed from my nose
Love, the Doctor and all his help were fantastic. Will highly recommend him!!

Love Love this office! the doctors & staff are so nice and helpful especially Jen the office manager; she is a life savor and has helped us tremendously I don't know what we would've done with out her help!! Thank you all for everything!! 😁
Very Courteous and experienced staff. The wait time was very short.
Professional and friendly service
Very professional and made sure all questions were asked and answered
Always very friendly. Doctor is awesome
Everytime I go in there they are so friendly. This time I had to go in at 7:30 which is very early for me and everybody welcomed to me and say hello. I got in right away and the doctor was very gentle with the procedure. I'm not sure of this again because it doesn't look much better but I know that I can feel confident and comfortable with in this practice.
The office is clean and well-maintained. The assistant who asked questions before the doctor came in was cheerful and friendly. Dr. Rubin was friendly yet professional and respectful. I was completely at ease. It was a pleasant experience all around. Thank you all very much.
Very efficient and clean. The Dr was fantastic.
Efficient and cordial visit
I was in the exam room on time, Brad took info thoroughly, Dr Rubin listened to my concerns and dealt with them completely.
Very friendly and professional staff!! I typically hate going to appointments because I dread the long wait in the waiting room and in the exam room but that never happens here! They don't double book appts and they are always on schedule. Always a great experience every time I'm there! Highly recommend!
Great work and very friendly staff😁
New doctor and I was impressed by his knowledge and the staff was excellent.
High Quality Service
My family and I have had several appointment with different Dr. at the Grekin Skin Institute over the past 10 years. The staff has treated us with respect and care. My children have been seen at this office; the appointments were fast, easy and ended with a lollipop :-).
The staff at Grekin are so friendly! I had to have some skin cancer removed in the office by Dr. Whitworth, who I am pleased to call my doctor. Nichol was very attentive, answering all my questions and explaining the process each step of the way. I am very satisfied at the level of care and service this office has provided.
Everyone in the office is great, but Jennifer specifically was awesome and very comforting and reassuring. She talked me through the process and what the goals are. I'm addition Dr Grekin and his products are amazing.
Friendly and quick
Entire staff was friendly, appointment was on time and quick.
Top quality office
I am always treated promptly, with great care, and a happy staff. I enjoy my visits here!
Friendly Staff.
All went well as expected, very friendly and courteous staff, I was in and out without any delays. Thank You!! Mr. Walter C.
Great, quick visit
Just an annual checkup, but they got me in on time and I was done in 15-20 minutes. Very pleased with their processes and docs.
Very friendly staff , quality care,my whole family goes here and all are satisfied with their treatment
Less Worry - More Happy
I had been diagnosed with a relatively rare skin condition that strikes older people at an average rate of only 20,000 new cases per year in the United States. What a relief it was to find that Dr. Rubin was quite familiar with both the condition and it's treatment. During my first appointment with him he also noticed a suspicious looking freckle and did a biopsy right then and there. The freckle was found to be cancerous and Dr. Rubin, assisted by Michael, removed it on my second appointment with little to no pain. I'm recovering now and facing yearly skin searches for recurrence of the melanoma, but I feel I have found the expertise, kindness and support necessary to help me retain my health and well-being.
Amazing service
I decided to have a mole check after not being checked for over 30 years. Yes, I was a little nervous. I asked for a female to do the check. They sent me to Ashely, she was warm, caring and sensitive to my needs. I was in and out of the office in less than 45 minutes. I would recommend this office and Ashely to everyone. The staff was very polite and friendly and quick. I have another appointment in a few weeks and look forward to the return.
Professional, friendly and spot on.
After a year of thinking my eczema was flaring up, I finally came to the Grekin Skin Institute. Four days of the right medication, for a totally different skin condition, and my skin was clear and itch free. I have given up self diagnosis and embraced the services of great professionals. I recommend this practice to anyone with a skin condition. I will stay where I get results and this is the place.
I am always pleased with the services I receive at the Grekin Institute. The staff is always friendly and treat you like family. Dr. Rubin should be very proud of them. I have always been treated with respect and dignity. Everyone is very professional yet you still feel at ease with them. Dr. Rubin is excellent and I would recommend him highly to any of my friends and family.
Excellent experience
I was totally satisfied with my appointment on 6-9-17. The promptness with which I was waited on was second to none. Dr. Rubin and his two associates were professional in the services provided. To be totally honest, I cannot remember being in and out of a doctor's office with such efficiency. This certainly tells me that Grekin Skin Institute is a first class organization.
gave me multiple providers for prescription so that it was more affordable for me.
I did write a positive review & answered questions before I saw this. I was extremely satisfied with the Medical Assistant, Jackie and the Office Manager!!! I would and will recommend Grekin to my Family & friends!
Body check
After a few scares with minor skin cancers I decided to have a full body check along with my daughter. My original appointment was with male PA and upon my check in the medical assistant asked if I would prefer to have a woman physician instead - they also gave me the option of having a female medical assistant in the room to take notes. I was so pleased with this option- as was my young daughter. Ive been to many well-known dermatogists in the metro Detroit area over the years and there has not been one that I have failed me in some way, but not Grekin Skin Institute - I've been coming here for myself and my children for over 4 years- wonderful staff, wonderful service and most importantly KNOWLEDGABLE and PROFESSIONAL physicians, unlike a much larger more advertised practice in Clinton Township whose lack of both put me in the hospital.

Very Thurell excellent job
Nice environment and friendly staff
The doctors and staff are very friendly and explains in detail what their doing and what you should be doing to keep you skin clear. Their on time with the appointments you won't wait long.
Excellent Service
The staff is so friendly! Dr Rubin takes his time, very thoural and never makes you feel like he is rushing! All around great experience.
I've been with Dr. Grekin skin institute for 22 years and have always been satisfied. All staff is fantastic. My daughter is now seeing Dr. Grekin for acne and couldn't be happier with results. I had a visit with Dr. Rubin and was completely satisfied with visit and he was wonderful with my daughter.
Everything was great.
Very efficient and friendly service. Wait time was very short and the staff was very kind
Been going for years
Jackie and Bradley handled my care with ease
The staff was very helpful and service was great
I was referred to Dr. Grekin based on his personal care and client satisfaction record. He has made sure my issue was handled in a professional manner making sure that each step in my process was looked at along the way. He dealt with my growth by the proper analysis step by step. What I like about Dr. Grekin is that he truly cares about his patients and it is not just about the money. It is making sure that you are taken care of completely! Thank You Dr. Grekin for Caring!
Dr.Ru in and staff were thorough . Friendly and efficient as usual.
Calming and thorough
I'm a very nervous person. But whenever I come in that office I feel very calm and at ease. The medical team is stupendous and I find the medical assistants to be extremely helpful to reassure you that everything is going to be OK. Dr. Rubin is very nonchalant and makes you feel very comfortable on your treatment plan. The staff there was very nice when you have questions and sometimes even some have text me when I send pictures to them. What doctor does that? Highly recommend this doctors office my entire family has gone there for years.
they are very efficient well informed appt: were on time and is was out in a short time very happy with there service front desk was also very good and easy to work with.
Jennifer and Dr Rubin
I had a very poor experience with Dr. Grekin himself at this office. I had actually even called another dermatologist to switch my care and the process of starting Accutane due to the unprofessional-ism and lack of empathy or assuming ownership of a mistake that his staff made regarding filing my paperwork correctly and in a timely manner with iPledge. Jennifer, a member of the office staff, took complete ownership even though it was not her mistake. She was not the one who treated me poorly and screamed at me in front of the staff and other patients it was Dr. Grekin but she apologized on his behalf since he could not bother to make the call himself. It was her professionalism, knowledge, and problem solving attitude that restored my confidence in this office. She was apologetic when she didn't need to be and always welcomes me with such a warm smile. She is organized and knows more regarding the care of Accutane than the Doctor's name that is on the door of this office. It was her recommendation of Dr. Rubin as well that has kept me at the office and remained happy and positive through this whole process. In order to fit my schedule I have the first appointment on "Ruby Tuesday". Both of them have me back in a room almost immediately and at my last appointment I was in and out in 20 minutes. Dr. Rubin possesses the same professionalism as Jennifer and approaches each appointment with a positive attitude. I have not had the easiest road or the best results so far regarding my Accutane but the two of them help me to stay positive and I trust both of them to guide me through the rest of my regimen.
You did very good keep up the good work
Friendly, caring, professional
I have been treated by Jackie who is wonderful, caring and will always listen to you about why you are there for treatment. Dr. Rubin made me feel comfortable and approachable about asking questions. Both are highly professional with a caring attitude. The office staff at both locations couldn't be any better they are kind,friendly and careing about all the patients that come in to the office. Customer service is outstanding at both locations. Would highly recommend both offices.
Professional and very friendly
Short wait time, friendly staff and great doctors.
I saw Jackie the nurse practitioner. The rash I have is on my chest and I am very self conscious about it. She made me feel very at ease and was extremely knowledgable. She knew what the problem was as soon as she looked at it. I waited only 5 minutes before being called back and only another 5 until I saw Jackie. I left feeling way better about my skin and hope to see progress in 1month. Highly recommended this dermatologist office.
Quality service, professional, and friendly.
I visited Grekin skin institute yesterday with my daughter and they over exceeded our expectations with their knowledge and professionalism. Dr. Grekin and Jonathan were patient while answering all of our questions. I would definitely recommend this dermatologist to anyone who is in need of one.
Friendly staff and doctor.
Dr Grekin is always on time and he is a great doctor have been going to him for over 20 years I highly recommend him Mr. Callaway
I have been a patient of Dr Grekin Skin Institue for 21 years and have never had a bad experience. Staff and all interns are wonderful. Dr. Grekin and Jenny are the best.
Professional and Personable
Dr. Cory Rubin was very personable and made me feel like my condition would not be ignored. Very friendly.
I was very impressed.
This was my first visit with Dr. Rubin, I used to go to a another Dr.but he retired, the new office crew that took over just made you feel like they wanted to get you in and out as fast as they could, they didn't want to answer any questions. Dr, Rubin was very polite and answered all my questions, plus all the office Ladies and Men where very polite. I will tell all my friends about Grekin Skin Institute.
Very nice experience
I was pretty impressed with my experience at this doctor's office. This was my first visit and I was impressed by how helpful and polite everyone was, however I did have to wait a little bit to see the doctor which is normal. The doctor was very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment! I would highly recommend this place.
Best service in Warren
Im glad i found grekin Jacqueline was awesome after going through 15 dermatologist i finally found a place that took care of my needs
Fantastic sevice
I was very pleased with my service.
Dr.Grekin and staff always the Best and #1! I could go on and on for the Excellent Friendly Interest and Care! I was not paid in any form for this Honest review! They are all Keepers and deserve raises ! Its a Joy to visit!, not thinking I have to go to the Doctor again. Again , Thank Jas for the Great Expertise and Care! As I remain, Toshiba Dan :)
What a nice environment with caring people!
From the gals at the front desk to the nursing assistant and Doctor, they are all so nice and very patient and spend a ton of time with you.
I was a bit nervous at first, but soon after talking with the staff I realized I was at the right place. I am very pleased with the care I received yesterday afternoon.
No one better in the business
I have been seeing Jenny for all of my dermatology needs for about 3 years . I trust her with my entire family's skin care needs as well..She addresses all skin related issues with a professional, caring but yet direct approach, all the while making me feel at ease no matter what the skin care issue is. Thank you Jenny!
I have always had a very good experience with the Grekin Institute. The staff is especially friendly and they make you feel at ease right away. I am going through one off the toughest times of my life but I always feel better after visiting the Institute. Dr. Rubin seems like a very caring and compassionate caregiver. I would highly recommend this institute to anyone.
Returned for check up unfortunately had another issue Dr Rubin was again very thourol and discussed with me all symptoms i love the way he takes time with me and explains all symptoms and choices. I highly recommend him.
Friendly Staff and Friendly-Caring Doctors
I have been to the office in Wyandotte and Warren. The office staff in both places are very nice. I have always been placed in a patient room at the time of my appointment or very close. Once in the room, the nurse takes all of my information and concerns. I did not wait too much longer before the doctor comes in. Dr. C Rubin is very caring, conscious and personable. He treats you as a person and not a just a Number. He takes as much time with you as needed. I had one instance where I waited much longer than normal. Dr. Rubin apologized for making me wait. He gained my respect at that moment. I have NEVER had a doctor apologize to me and it was refreshing. I have recommened Dr. Rubin to friends and family!
I'm always greeted with a smile I love this place fast service
Definitely recommend!
Dr Grekin and all of his staff are the most inviting Dr's office staff I have ever been to. Dr Grekin was super with my 3 year old son, as was his staff. May son has a mole on his forehead and did even flinch when Dr Grekin had to get right in his face. I think kids can sense when someone is safe. I thought maybe it was because how cute mine son is
Love Love Love
Super friendly, fast and efficient. Never going anywhere else.
High Quality Service
Jackie is wonderful and so is staff
Great appointment
Very helpful!
Everyone was so nice and helpful and took care of my immediate needs!
Friendly and Timely
I was greeted once I entered into the office. The staff was very friendly. The outer office is warm and comfortable. There was a little wait before going back to see the Doctor. The nurse that did the background and chart update was friendly. Once the Dr. Rubin came in, he was not rushed and was very thorough, which was appreciated.
Excellent service, professional and friendly
My son had severe acne on his face and with the professional care he is receiving at Grekin Skin Institute it is healing quickly (in fact I am amazed at the results). I have recommended Grekin Skin Institute to many people.
The people at the office are great! All of my needs were addressed with little wait time. One concern I have is that I have been going to this office for a very long time. However, each time I have to fill out paperwork as if I am a new patient. I understand if there is a lapse in time that the file is archived, however, it bothers me that my history is not all in the same file.
Warm, friendly and caring
Grekin skin Institute really takes the time out to really help your concern. They are very passionate and dedicated to their patients. They have a great team of experts. Dr Rubin is phenomenal he really cares.
My family members have all used Grekin for years. The best care for all ages!
Very nice office atmosphere--prompt and courteous
I was a first time patient and found the office to run on schedule. I was never left waiting. They wanted very much for me to be comfortable -- asked my preferences. Everyone I came into contact with was very polite. I would hesitate to recommend to friends and family.
Outstanding patient service with great results
I just completed my fourth visit at this location and I must say that I am extremely impressed with the prompt, courteous service that I receive each visit. This is an extremely busy location, but they are well staffed, efficient and tend to the needs of their patients in an effective manner. I had just about given up on improving my skin, after years of losing the war on acne, but since beginning my regimen with Grekin, I'm seeing significant results and now believe that I can win this war. Thanks, Grekin!
Professional, thorough, timely
I was pre-screened in a room within 5 minutes of my appointment time and was seen by the doctor within 5 minutes thereafter. The staff is friendly and the doctors are very thorough in examination.
Warren office
Everyone at the Warren office could not be more friendly, helpful, and professional. So glad I made the switch to Greki. P
So Far, So Good
This is my first time at this office and meeting Dr. Grekin. I loved the fact that they don't make you wait long. But being that this is my first visit at this office, it is a little too early for me to speak on the products and the results. But I will do the regimen and follow up to do my part. I'm just hoping that he can really help me.
Awesome staff
Great job as always, caring doctors and staff ...keep up the good work.
I've been in the medical profession for 40 plus years. The Grekin office my husband and I both attend has the most professional staff We have encountered. They are polite, kind and helpful. Doctors should know the "front Desk" is their best friend. Jenny is wonderful also. Thanks Grekin
Quite impressed with the professionalism displayed by your entire staff. I will continue the relationship with Grekin for as long as your services are needed.
Knowledgeable, trustworthy, professional, caring staff
I come to Grekin Skin Institute knowing that I can depend on Gail to inform, prescribe and preform on what my face what it truly needs to improve its appearance. I am always ecstatic with the results.
As always a fantastic experience! Everyone is so kind and helpful. A special thank you to Gail,I totally trust and recommend her services. The lazier treatment is the only thing that has helped my rosacea.
My experience with Grecken skin institution of worn was a very positive one they are very professional polite and knowledgeable about treatments they perform and offer .
I chose Grecken skin institution for my cosmetic needs as I trust their professional opinion on what I was looking for and the corrections that I needed. I met with Gail whom was very professional and a very good listener to what my desire was into what I was looking for after doing so she offered her opinion and explained the following treatment options as well as following up with product. I received Botox and filler all which I have been very satisfied with. If you're on the fence yourself and thinking should I choose this place for my cosmetic or skin care needs my answer to you is YES. Office is very clean and well-kept front desk personnel were very polite.
Always a great experience.
Gail has treated me for Botox and lazer hair removal. Very friendly and alway has great knowledge on every question I've asked. Highly recommended for your cosmetic needs.
The staff there is wonderful! I like all of them! They do go out of their way to help you!
I have been going to Grekin Skin Institute for over 13 years. I have psoriasis very badly and Dr. Grekin has helped me tremendously! I have been having a huge flare up and nothing is working. Dr. Grekin and Brad his assistant have worked very diligently to help this situation. Unfortunately Medicare copay is close to 2,000 per month. I know so very crazy! If I were a year younger I could get it for free! It makes me crazy knowing this!
Someone that cares
From the time I made my appointment I felt important. I was able to get in the day after I called. The office is very friendly, clean and well kept. You're treated with respect and not like a number like others🙄. You're welcomed by everyone. They have samples and coupons my fellow couponers for skin care. I would highly recommend Grekin Dermatologist to everyone. 😍😍😍😍
On time taking appointments. Friendly atmosphere. Positive experience.
Very professional
The staff is friendly, office is clean, and you're in and out timely. That's important because I come on lunch.
Great experience
Friendly staff and doctors. Never had to wait too long for my appointment, and always treated kindly.
My cyst was removed very quickly and the doctor was very friendly, efficient, and reassuring. So was his assistant.
I had a cyst removed from my neck on February 9th. I was a bit worried about the procedure but the Medical Assistant explained to me how the procedure would proceed and I felt much better. The doctor was very friendly and the procedure went smoothly. The doctor took his time to explain to me how the wound would heal which was comforting to me. I would go back to this office in a heartbeat if I need to. I am very happy with the results. My stitches have been removed and it is healing very well. There is no lump on my neck anymore which makes me very happy!
I had a great experience they were very friendly very efficient and they got me in and out in no time
The derm office everyone needs
Not only are the providers patient, kind, warm and caring, but the office staff really does shine at this office. Some offices don't even acknowledge you, but this office went above and beyond making me feel welcome and valued. You can really tell that customer service is their #1 priority, as well as the providers. I have no complains whatsoever. I garuntee you will get you money's worth here.
Very nice competent staff
Quality services, friendly and informative.
Everyone treated my young 7 year old son very well!
I was very happy with my appointment. Gail was very informative. I had gone to a couple of other offices and felt like I was just another # that they could get money out of. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend your office to everyone. I am coming back in two weeks to start other services in the office. I had botox done when I was there the first time.
Best service. Highly professional.
I had the best service at Grekin Skin Institute. This is our first visit and I am very impressed how well the staff treated us. Their courtesy was utmost wonderful, especially visiting for the first time. The doctor who treated my son and the assistant thoroughly explained the procedure and made us comfortable and welcomed. My son is not nervous anymore because the doctor took good care of him. Definitely a plus and I would refer people to any of Dr. Grekin's facilities.
Excellent dermatology experience
Went for a full body scan. Full did closure have been a Grekin patient for 14 years. Always awesome experience and the staff is top notch. Have been a patient in wyandotte and warren, and both offices are superb. Highly recommend.
Later Treatments
I am currently visiting this office for laser treatments for a skin condition I have. I am very pleased with the staff, treatments, and doctor's consultation. Since I have to travel two or three times weekly, I find it very helpful that the staff is friendly, flexible, and very professional. I am very pleased with the lazer results as well. It is a bit more costly than the light treatments I was receiving from another dermatologist but still affordable and very much worth it! I would recommend this business to others!
I had basil cell surgery with Dr. Whitworth. He made me feel at ease. I was a little shocked when I took the bandage off the next day. When I went back the next week to get the stitches out. Night and day, just amazed at how wonderful it looked. He knows his stuff.
Satisfied Patient & Parent
My daughter and I highly recommend Dr. Cory J. Rubin and the staff @ Grekin Skin Institute. Eryn just finished with Zenatane. Her skin tone is very fair. Prior to Zenatane she was breaking out frequently and experiencing facial scaring. Eryn just said to me this morning before school. Mom Wow what a difference since September 2016. She is pleased and grateful to have treatment behind her. Thank you Dr. Rubin for solving her acne problem.
Best place to go
I had some kind of scale condition no one could figure out what it was and how to treat it. I was to the point of cut in my hair and wearing a wig. I went to the office on 12 mile and my doctor told me 3 weeks I can clear this I didn't believe him but my 3 weeks follow up my scale was clear I was fighting with the condition for over a year I went to the office 05/2016 it's now 02/2017 and I have no issues!!
Fantastic dermatology office
I had a recommendation from a friend to go see Jenny . Jenny is amazing !! She's honest , friendly and helpful . Jenny and her fantastic staff have seen all kinds of clients come to their office . And they treat me open armed each time . From the first person you meet when u sign in , to the last person who makes your appointments. This staff is top 10! They are all friendly and very happy to be working there. It shows in their smiles and in their personalities. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to tell this outstanding staff what a great job they do . Rachelle stewart
Highly recommend!
I was extremely pleased with the doctor and the surgery he performed. Professional and personal! Perfect combination!
Once again, I required surgery to remove a basal cell cancer. Dr. Winthrop performed the surgery, As always, everything went fine, no problems. I am very happy with all the services, the staff, and the care I receive.
Great Experience
Highly recommend Grekin! Everyone is very friendly and knowledgable
Friendly staff!
I met with Dr. Rubin and he was very nice! They also were able to direct me to a place to get my cream for $10 when CVS told me it would cost almost 1,000!
Gail is AMAZING!
I am a Washtenaw County resident that has traveled literally through heavy traffic, rain, sleet and snow to make my scheduled appointments with Gail at the GSI Warren location. The journey has been well worth the drive because Gail is not only a knowledgeable professional, but a kind, understanding nurse. I choose to continue with GSI because of Gail. I have been completely satisfied with each appointment for the past ten years. My skin has improved tremendously by Gail's suggestions of skin treatments. I would recommend Gail to anyone that is seeking to improve the appearance of their skin. Two thumbs up for Gail!
Great Dermatology Office!
I had two tough plantar warts on the bottom of my foot that I had suffered with for years. At the Franklin Office, they injected them with a chemical called bleomycin and got rid of them. Other derm offices that I had gone to didn't know to do this. Thank goodness for Franklin Dermatology!
Franklin Office is very courteous and professional. I've been taking my family there for years!
Everyone at the Franklin Dermatology is so friendly and professional. From the time you walk in, you are treated courteously and the appointments generally run on time. Dr. Shumer, Dr. Bruner and the physician's assistant Adam are all great!
Skin Rejuvenation
I see Kristen in the Wyandotte's Skin Rejuvenation area. She's such a good technician and just an overall great person. My skin has never looked this good in my entire life. I get the IPL treatments done and my skin looks so smooth and even in color. I highly recommend this place for skin treatments.
Great Team

Wishing you a wonderful holiday
It is a cool, bright morning in Kentucky. The sky is a cloudless blue. When I opened the kitchen door to let the cats out, I heard birds singing and the wind chimes moving gently.
I thank God for the peace and normalcy in my immediate world today. I am blessed in countless ways. I hope that you can look at your life today and say the same.

Formation and Education for the Life of the Church
Spiritual formation for a priest is "the core which unifies and
gives life to his being a priest and
his acting as a priest" (Pastores Dabo
Vobis, 45).
Accordingly, then, a spiritual formation program in the seminary
must concern itself not only with the candidate's growth and
development while in residence, but also with his continued
progress in and faithfulness to the spiritual
life after he is ordained and leaves the
external supports the seminary offers.
As the Program of Priestly Formation notes,
"The final goal of spiritual formation in the seminary is to
establish attitudes, habits, and practices in the spiritual life
that will continue after ordination. Spiritual formation in the
seminary is meant to set the foundation for a lifetime of priestly
ministry and spirituality" (5th ed., par. 110).
The seminary program at Saint Meinrad takes its direction from
the USCCB's Program of Priestly Formation, which is
influenced by Pope John Paul II's 1992 Apostolic
Exhortation Pastores Dabo Vobis. It is in PDV that
the four pillars of priestly formation - human, spiritual,
intellectual and pastoral - were first both demarcated and
In addition to these official documents, the spirit and charism
of the century-and-a-half tradition of the Benedictine monastic
community of Saint Meinrad Archabbey are certainly treasured assets
in allowing us to fulfill this sacred charge of priestly education
and formation.
Indeed, St. Benedict's reference to the monastery as a "school
of the Lord's service" offers an apt description of a seminary, and
it is significant that many practices of Benedictine life are
central also to the formation of those wishing to seek God as
disciples of Jesus and serve him as his apostles.
Daily commitment to prayer, the Eucharist and spiritual reading
(lectio divina); humble obedience; a certain detachment
from secular values; the ongoing process of daily conversion; a
genuine spirit of hospitality; a love and concern for community:
these regular practices and dispositions of the Benedictine spirit
are those that diocesan seminarians and priests also are expected
to embrace.
Seminarians at Saint Meinrad benefit from the daily example of a
community of Benedictine monks.

Editorial | Boehner v. Obama – a real courtroom drama or political stunt?
The following editorial appeared in The Sacramento Bee on Tuesday:
House Republican Speaker John Boehner says he's so upset about President Barack Obama's use of signing statements to challenge laws he and his GOP majority pass that he's planning to sue the president for overstepping his bounds.
His threat seems little more credible than that of the late Sen. Arlen Specter in 2006. A few years before he became a Democrat again, the then-Republican chairman of the Judiciary Committee said he was fixing to sue President George W. Bush after revelations that the president was using signing statements rather liberally.
Tying up the courts and spending untold amounts of the public's money on a case that wouldn't likely see any results until the next presidency, which could go to a Republican, wouldn't serve Boehner's immediate purpose of keeping up the sustained pressure on Obama. More likely, it is a stunt developed for the July news doldrums to keep the base energized until the November election and maybe throw a bone to the pro-impeachment crowd.
Besides, Boehner didn't seem to have much problem with signing statements by other presidents.
According to the Library of Congress, the use of signing statements began in earnest with President Ronald Reagan and has continued under every president since. George W. Bush issued the most – 172. President Barack Obama used them too, though only about 30 so far.
No party likes the other side's use of signing statements, which are the notes that presidents attach to bills they sign indicating their displeasure with some or all parts of the law and suggesting that it will be a cold day in the underworld when he enforces those laws exactly the way Congress desires.
Democrats tried to stop the practice of undermining signing statements during the latter Bush presidency, though with legislation, not litigation. One such bill, House Resolution 264 by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, griped that signing statements "encroach upon the power to make laws that the Framers vested solely in the Congress." Then-Sen. Obama criticized Bush's "clear abuse" of executive power.
At the time, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, defended Bush, saying that signing statements are just the way of a president expressing himself.
One person's self-expression is another's abuse of constitutional powers – and vice versa.
In an opinion piece titled "Why we must now sue President Obama" posted on CNN.com over the weekend, Boehner wrote that Obama "has circumvented the American people and their elected representatives through executive action, changing and creating his own laws, and excusing himself from enforcing statutes he is sworn to uphold."
Like filibusters and recess appointments, outrage over signing statements by politicians lasts only until it is their turn to use them.

I'm a huge firearm supporter and really cringe when Congress gets on the "Firearm Ban" wagon. I support NRA as much as I can because I truly believe people have the right to protect themselves with firearms, bar none. Anyhow, I am surprised that air rifles/pellet guns have escaped all legislation, after all, they are a weapon and new technology has made them very powerful. There are air rifles that are capable of taking Bison and Elk. There are some very large bore air rifles such as the 12 gauge or .72 caliber Quigley. This rifle shoots a 500 grain pellet at 800 fps. These rifles shoot very large lead pellets and can take large game humanely. So air rifles and pellet guns have the power to kill humans easily. There are semi auto and full auto pellet guns also. They do not have the power of hunting air guns but could certainly do serious damage at close range.
The difference between firearms and air guns is soon to be; how the energy is created to push the projectile. Firearms use an explosive propellant while pellet guns and air rifles use compressed gas. Although velocities and power are still far apart, they could get pretty close in the near future. I am surprised that no additional legislation has been passed on air rifles. The only restriction is age which is 18 years of age. You can purchase them online and have it shipped directly to your front door. You can buy them in Walmart easily.
Air rifles and pellet guns have come a long way since the Daisy Red Rider. Pellet size and velocities have really improved. There are .25, .30, .357, .458 and .72 caliber pellet guns in addition to the standard .177 and .22. Velocities range from a low 300 fps to a high of 1200 fps. The really big bores shoot a 500 grain pellet at 800 fps. Prices range from $35 up to $2,000. For more info see Pellet Guns 1.
I hope that the U.S. Government leaves this class of weapon alone as far as legislation goes. We have way too many laws as it is. Surprisingly, few if any crimes involving air rifles or pellet guns occur yet knives are very popular. Air rifles are way easier to get then firearms yet none are used in criminal activity. This is a good thing and I'm not complaining.

More then seven years ago I was introduced to the concept of blogging by @vidit and I was hooked. Started with some url I do not even remember now, moved to spaceofkunal.blogspot and then I received an invite for WordPress and got the url – kunal.wordpress and have been at the same address for a while. Many times I thought I'll buy a domain and shift my blog, but two of my constant companions – procrastination and laziness – never allowed me that liberty. Guess I'm stuck here for a while.
When I started blogging, all my initial posts were about my life or the college days. Sports made an appearance some time later (and so did two failed attempts at writing sports-centric blogs), then the topic of Hyderabad. There were months I would blog daily or at least once in two days, and then there were months when my own visits to the blog could be counted on one hand. At times blogging was a stress buster when a pathetic day at work would make me visit this blank canvas and just type away without thinking. After all this was the internet and I was anonymous (not anymore!).
I started writing short stories sometime in 2006, and to my delight people actually enjoyed what I wrote. This boost of confidence allowed me to write more – sometimes pathetic short stories (which even I hate upon re-reading now), and some short stories which I absolutely love even to this day. And then there was a time when I stopped writing about my life, I stopped watching any sports, and I did not have any opinions on anything. At such times bereft on any ideas I turned to posting photographs, and then moved to the most obvious recourse – book reviews. After all I was a voracious reader, and there was no better place to opine my comments! My blog had turned truly eclectic.
And then somehow my book-reviews clicked with the authors, my short-stories got more appreciation. Authors started contacting me for book reviews, my short stories got published in two books – Urban Shots, and Down the Road – and even got interviewed; my blog shifted from being a personal blog to one dedicated to books and book reviews. Well I don't mind writing book-reviews but I don't remember the last time I wrote anything which had nothing to do with (a) Books (b) Sports. But then these are the two things in focus right now in my life; since I've stopped blogging about my personal life.
This post is quite a change for me, this is a throwback to those years when I blogged without thinking. And true to those days I will not proof-read this post. Seven years of blogging – don't know when will I, if ever, stop blogging.

SIG-Sauer P250F Full size pistol
The SIG-Sauer P250 F is the most recent addition to the famous SIG-Sauer line of pistols. First announced at the IWA-2004 exhibition in Nurnberg, Germany (March 12-15, 2004), this pistol then faced almost 4 years of continued development, which was a combined effort of German engineers at J.P.Sauer and American engineers from SIGARMS. The gun was re-introduced in late 2007, and is now (February 2008) available in single caliber (9mm), single frame size (compact) and three grip sizes (S - small, M - medium and L - large). Other calibers and barrel / frame sizes are to be announced later. The key feature of the P250 is its complete modularity - using a variety of barrel / slide and frame combinations any user will be available to assemble any conceivable configuration, using the steel serialized receiver as the central assembling point. This will be most useful for large police departments of security companies which will be able to tailor their pistol inventory for various tactical needs (compact pistols for concealed carry, full size pistols for holster carry, various calibers) and for various shooters (variety of grip sizes for each frame configuration), yet have only one pistol type with unified training and maintenance procedures.
The SIG-Sauer P250 F pistol was developed and is now produced by the famous German arms manufacturer, the J. P. Sauer & Sohn Ges.m.b.H., which is a part of the international SIGARMS corporation. Development of the pistol started circa 2001. The P250 was designed according to the latest official German guidelines for police pistol.
The SIG-Sauer P250 F is a short recoil operated, locked breech pistol. It uses typical SIG-Sauer cam-operated barrel, which locks into the ejection port on the slide. The frame is made from high impact-resistant polymer. A steel receiver unit is inserted into the frame and held in place by the axis pin of the disassembly lever. The receiver is the only serialized part of the gun, and it contains frame rails and a fire control unit (trigger, hammer and all necessary linkage and springs). Single receiver unit will accept any frame size and any caliber kit (consisting of the barrel and slide). The slide stop levers are located on both sides of pistol. The SIG-Sauer P250 DC has a Double Action Only trigger with spurless hammer, and no manual safeties. The automated firing pin safety prevents the accidental discharges if gun is dropped or roughly handled. The trigger system has a very short trigger reset in DAO mode (about 3 mm or 1/8"), and the trigger pull is constant and consistent, with pull weight about 4 kg (9 lbs). SIG-Sauer P250 F is fitted with combat-type sights with three white dots, and the frame has an integral Picatinny rail for flashlights or laser pointers.

In the end, it was going to be a logistical nightmare.
So, in a statement Friday, the Baltimore Orioles said they could not reschedule a Sept. 5 night game against the Chicago White Sox to the afternoon to accommodate the Baltimore Ravens — and the NFL tradition of the Super Bowl winner opening at home.
"The Orioles have great respect for the Super Bowl Champion Ravens and thank Major League Baseball, the MLB Players Association and the White Sox for doing everything possible to work with us to explore all options to reschedule the Sept. 5 game," the statement read.
'HARDEST THING EVER': Ed Reed on leaving Ravens
"We also appreciate the work of the NFL and the Ravens over the past several weeks as we attempted to accommodate the Ravens' interest in a game the same evening.
"Given the limited options available to reschedule the game at that late date in the season, the parties jointly determined that even an earlier start time would still create such enormous logistical difficulties that it would greatly diminish the fan experience for both events."
FANTASY RATINGS: Where do Orioles stars rank?
The NFL's nine-year opening-week tradition will end this season. The league doesn't want to play football on Wednesday, Sept. 4, because it's Rosh Hashanah, so the Ravens will open on the road, according to NFL spokesman Greg Aiello.
All this despite several public appeals from Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and his offer to pay for any lost revenue or expenses incurred by the Orioles or Major League Baseball.
The Ravens' Week 1 opponent hasn't been announced yet. In alternatives that would have network appeal, the Ravens could open on the road against the Denver Broncos in a rematch of Baltimore's double-overtime postseason victory, or against AFC North rival Pittsburgh Steelers.
With the stadiums adjacent and sharing parking facilities, Ravens President Dick Cass, in a statement Friday, cited a potential (baseball-football) doubleheader migraine — for the teams, for the fans and for security:
"After thorough discussions among the Orioles, the NFL and the Ravens, it became clear that holding both an Orioles' game and the Ravens' regular season opener on the same day would create logistical situations that would cause serious issues for the city of Baltimore, and fans for both teams," the statement said.
"The Ravens greatly appreciate the willingness of the Orioles to adjust the start of their game in an effort to make this sports spectacular happen. But, in the end, anticipated problems with parking, rush-hour traffic, plus crowd and car congestion around Oriole Park and M&T Bank Stadium, will keep the doubleheader from taking place."
To appease Ravens fans, Aiello said the NFL is "exploring potential fan activities in Baltimore around the kickoff game, including a pregame concert."

183 in +/-
A true legend in his time. Maybe it was before your time ?
Foots prime years were from 96 through 05. That a 9 year sample that covers the whole dead puck era. Over that time Foote played 584 games and got 202 points. That is a 29 / 82 pace which is well above average ofensive production for a defenseman in that era who wasn't a power play guy.
If you adjust for the era that he played in he was basically a 30 point defenseman which is well above average for a top4.
He was abvoe average offensively while being one of the best defensive and most physical players in the league.
He was infact an elite player at that time.
Oh so you mean the other guys who were making Team Canada consistently through that era?Now had you been talking Al McGinnis,Rob BLake or Scott Neidermyer, you'd have my ear
He's a fun little exercise, make a list of the defenceman who have played for team Canada 3 or more times and see what kind of company you are keeping....
And for the record I don't think Foote is as good as the other guys whom you would find on that list, but as I said comparing him to Dana Murzyn is utterly ridiculous.

Louis Tomlinson Mocks Paparazzi Harassing Him at Airport [VIDEO]
Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson of One Direction arrived at LAX on March 7 and were later seen working with Good Charlotte. Of course the dynamic duo were harassed upon landing at the airport but not by shrieking Directioners. Instead, they were pressed by the paparazzi.
One particularly persistent pap kept shouting that he heard Liam makes more than anyone else. Actually, the story suggested that Liam and LT were the top earners within the unit, due to their songwriting efforts.
To get 'em off his back, LT adopted the same accent of the brute asking the question over and over. After the pair peeled away in their car, one of the paps said, "What a d-bag. He's a total d-bag."
Harassing an artist as he tries to make his way through a crowded airport after a long flight doesn't qualify as an act of d-baggery, right?
Anyone digging Tomlinson's headband hair? He is rocking a longer look!
