My husband and I concieved our son after 3 months, in July 2007. I am a healthy 31yr old. We have been trying for baby #2 now for 9 months. It is really getting me down. Especially when I see other pregnant woman,I just break down in tears. I had been taking the midstream ovulation tests,but they don't actually give you a clear reading. So we decided to purchase the ClearBlue fertility monitor. I have only tried it for one month ,it showed that I was ovulating on day 17 and day 18 of a 28 day cycle. We followed the instructions and I thought for sure that I was pregnant,but I got my AF yesterday. I'm glad that I found this site and I know that I'm not alone. I'm trying my best to be optimistic for this month.
Baby dust to everyone,

Norwich ranked for cybersecurity courses
NORTHFIELD Norwich University was ranked second on a list of schools considered by security practitioners to be the best in the nation for cybersecurity courses and degree programs.
The Ponemon Institute conducted the survey for Hewlett Packard and compiled a list of the best schools from responses by 1,958 security practitioners, 65 percent of whom said they were at the supervisory level.
Participants in the survey were given a list of 403 colleges and told to rank up to five schools in descending order of preference. Respondents then rated each institutions cybersecurity degree program from their perceptions of the colleges academic rigor, faculty quality and other measures.
Obviously, this is a great honor for the University, Norwich chief information security officer Dr. Peter Stephenson said. In an era where conventional wisdom suggests that the next war will be fought in cyberspace, it is completely appropriate that the oldest of the senior military colleges should have a strong cybersecurity focus. I am very proud of our excellent faculty and, especially, our outstanding students.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The League of Women Voters of Vermont will be taking part in National Voter...

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. In Untold Legends, you take control of a warrior, berserker, druid, or alchemist in order to save the city you live in. Strange monsters have been threatening the city with destruction, both from the forests surrounding the city and the sewers underneath. The gameplay is straight hack'n'slash, with an attack button and two spell hotkeys. Each character gets unique skills and weapon abilities, and can wear unique armor specific to their class.StoryIn the beginning of the game your character wakes up after having some disturbing dreams. After waking up you find that the city of Avon is under attack by the spider race known as the Praetox. Your character fights his way through the streets of Avon to find Overseer Lyetta who tells you to go into the catacombs to stop the Praetox. After your character has explored a few of the sewers, he will be tasked with recovering the Venom off the Prateox Queen.You go into the sewers one final time and fight the Praetox Queen, when defeated, you give the Venom back to the Overseer so you can help Kaylee (A woman who has been bittenby the prateox so will soon turn into a lifeless zombie). Afterwards, your character talks to the Eldar of Avon and he tasks you with going out of the gates of the city and fighting a race known as the Gorgein. Your first task involves defeating the three Gorgein shamen and afterwards recovering the Distilling Crystal that is needed to help Kaylee. Once you have recovered the crystal your goal is to prevent the Gorgein attackingAvon, so you try and create a war between the Gorgein and another race so Avon can prepare a defence.

Another interesting fact you can find on Maldivesfinest.com is the map of equator crossing the Maldives between the island of Fuvahmulah and islands of Gaafu Dhaalhu Atoll in the southern parts of the Maldives. There has been many myth about the equator, but in reality it is just an imaginary line that divides South Pole and North Pole in the mid point.

There is a ministerial cabinet and parliament is comprised of elected members from different atolls. Each of the 26 atolls are administered by Atoll Council and every island has an Island Council. Councils are independent bodies guided by the Local Government Authority. Council members are most commonly known to play active role in political parties.

Artists:Jensen, Robert
Publisher:South End Press
In our culture, porn makes the man. So argues Robert Jensen in Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity. Jensen's treatise begins with a simple demand: "Be a man." It ends with a defiant response: "I chose to struggle to be a human being." The journey from masculinity to humanity is found in the candid and intelligent exploration of porn's devastating role in defining masculinity. Getting Off seamlessly blends personal anecdotes from Jensen's years as a feminist anti-pornography activist with scholarly research. In his trademark conversational style, he shows how mainstream pornography reinforces social definitions of manhood and influences men's attitudes about women and how to treat them. Pornography is a thriving multi-billion-dollar industry; it drives the direction of emerging media technology. Pornography also makes for complicated politics. These days, anti-porn arguments are assumed to be "anti-sex" and thus a critical debate is silenced. This book breaks that silence. Alarming and thought-provoking, Getting Off asks tough, but crucial, questions about pornography, sex, manhood, and the way toward genuine social justice. Robert Jensen is an associate professor in the School of Journalism at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the author of The Heart of Whiteness: Confronting Race, Racism and White Privilege and Citizens of the Empire: The Struggle to Claim Our Humanity.

– It's Settled: Central Banks Trade S&P500 Futures (ZeroHedge, Aug 30, 2014):
Based on the unprecedented collapse in trading volumes of cash products over the past 6 years, one thing has become clear: retail, and increasingly, institutional investors and traders are gone, probably for ever and certainly until the Fed's market-distorting central planning ends. However, one entity appears to have taken the place of conventional equity traders: central banks.
Courtesy of an observation by Nanex's Eric Hunsader, we now know, with certainty and beyond merely speculation by tinfoil fringe blogs, that central banks around the world trade (and by "trade" we mean buy) S&P 500 futures such as the E-mini, in both futures and option form, as well as full size, and micro versions, in addition to the well-known central bank trading in Interest Rates, TSY and FX products.

Reviews collected from customers who booked on AccorHotels.com
The hotel is perfectly located for short city stays and the metro runs right in front of the hotel, making a great accessibility to all main places in Beijing. We got an upgrade to a suite, which had a great bed and view. The hotel needs some renovations done soon. The Executive lounge offers snacks and soft drinks and a special happy hour with food and alcoholic beverages which is nice to calm down from a long day in town. We were supposed to have a private check-in counter for executive floor guests, but none of the staff seemed to know about this arrangement at the reception. We had a nice stay at the hotel and can recommend it for any sightseeing activities.
Dear Guest We would like to thank you for choosing the Novotel Xinqiao Beijing as your accommodation choice during your recent visit to Beijing and at the same time taking the time to sharing comments with others here. It is always a pleasure to learn that our guest had a pleasant stay with us and we will share it with our team members. We are looking forward to your next visit! Kind regards Hotel Management

Sony Has a New Gamer
Sony Has a New Gamer
Jul 17, 2007 10:05PM PST
UPDATE: BTW, if I don't confirm your friend request, don't take it personally -- I can't add everyone! However, if you see me online -- I'm going to hit up some Resistance this weekend -- make sure to tag me. :)
After a solid E3 showing and continuing angst over not having a dedicated high-def DVD player (downloading HD movies via Xbox Live is both annoying and problematic, given the small hard drive space), I broke down yesterday and purchased a 60GB PlayStation 3 at the Sony Style store just a few blocks from my work. Given that I have most of this week off work -- even though I've spent the majority of it doing chores, catching up on misc. tasks and not playing games -- it seemed like a perfect time to take the plunge.
So far, I'm happy. Mostly. Resistance: Fall of Man is actually pretty disappointing. I'm not sure what I expected from Insomniac's shooter, but after playing Gears of War, the lack of any cover system (button crouching is so lame now), stale lighting and blah character designs is keeping my interest firmly in the "meh" zone. I'm only an hour and a half or so in, however, and I've heard the level design and weapons become more interesting as you progress further in -- I'll definitely give it a chance; I plan to beat it.
More importantly, the Blu-ray playback is fantastic -- The Fountain was an excellent first, albeit expensive, purchase -- and Super Stardust HD is just as addicting as everyone in the office's been raving about. Problem is, what do I pick up next? MotorStorm isn't my thing, Heavenly Sword's at least a month and a half off and I've played the big multi-platform titles on Xbox 360. At least I have backwards compatibility in full effect -- maybe I'll pick up Final Fantasy XII again.
Oh, and my PSN id is "Mechamothra," but if I'm going to add you, send a message along, please.

I'm not sure what I expected from Insomniac's shooter, but after playing Gears of War, the lack of any cover system (button crouching is so lame now), stale lighting and blah character designs is keeping my interest firmly in the "meh" zone. I'm only an hour and a half or so in, however, and I've heard the level design and weapons become more interesting as you progress further in -- I'll definitely give it a chance; I plan to beat it.
More importantly, the Blu-ray playback is fantastic -- The Fountain was an excellent first, albeit expensive, purchase -- and Super Stardust HD is just as addicting as everyone in the office's been raving about. Problem is, what do I pick up next? MotorStorm isn't my thing, Heavenly Sword's at least a month and a half off and I've played the big multi-platform titles on Xbox 360. At least I have backwards compatibility in full effect -- maybe I'll pick up Final Fantasy XII again.
Oh, and my PSN id is "Mechamothra," but if I'm going to add you, send a message along, please.

You and shawn elliotPosted: Jul 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by ManOfScienceFJC
both have taken the $500 sony plunge. FFXII is sooo good, it definitely is worth finishing if you gave up on it. Then you can argue with Shane about how awesome it is on 1upyours!
i've heardPosted: Jul 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by Vangerdahast
Rainbow 6 is pretty sick on the PS3. i'm a 360 man just like i rooted for Rocky over Drago, but Lair should be out really soon.. i think.
if you like Riddick, i absolutely loved The Darkness for the 360. voices, story(much different than the comics but still solid), and control(multi-player is pretty bad) is solid. i'm sure the PS3 version is just as good, except for the lighting(get used to it).
if they get a good deal going by Christmas i'll prolly' join the bandwagon and get one(hopefully w/ rumble and game pack-in). good luck and give Rainbow 6 a shot, i've only heard good things.
w00t!Posted: Jul 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by Mucudadada
Welcome B3yond my friend! As far as Resistance, it will grow on you. And once you dive into the online world you will be happy. Granted 40 person deathmatches can be hectic, they are hella fun! On Blu-Ray there is one thing you need to get, Planet Earth. It is an amazing documentary that truley shines in HD. As far as store downloads, I'd go for Calling all Cars because it is really fun when you have friends over and make sure you buy MKII becasue a lot of disputes are solved over a good, bloody round of MKII. I'll send you a friend invite, the name is Mucudadada. See ya later and Congrats!
YOu just gave every reason why to pick up a PS3 next yearPosted: Jul 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by Geniusatwork
Everything you just said gives every reason why you should wait until next holiday season to purchase a ps3. I do not know why M$ got a bunch of crap for not showing games for next year, when they played their biggest str and showed the great line up for this year. Believe me next holiday season Ps3 will be at the top of my list, along with MGS4 and FF 13. If it works out the same way again, we prob see another 100 dollar price drop by then.
The PS3Posted: Jul 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by Sawyer
is pretty great not to mention is just looks so nice. Resistence is a good game, but it definately can't touch Gears or Halo. You made the right choice with Super Stardust HD, after hearing Bryan, Shane and Mark rant about it on the 1UP Show, I got it too, and it's worth it. Calling All Cars is a good buy too if you know people on there. Anyway, I'll send ya an invite too. My PSN's Locke2112.
I'm not ready to take the plunge just yet.Posted: Jul 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by Keefman -X-
Probably next year once all the awesome shit comes out.
Why not buy a ps3 now?Posted: Jul 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by Imnotafanboy
its 500$ and the new one in december is gonna be $100 more and less of a system without the ps2 hardware. you can upgrade to a 120gb hdd for less than the extra $100. I got mine on tuesday when they announce the price drop. Im getting 5 free blueray discs and i got a free controller. so glad i waited.
Well...Posted: Jul 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by funnydale
I just bought a PS3 last weekend... but no games yet (I'm trying out all the demos so far; I'll buy Ninja Gaiden later this week).
So far, I'm loving the Blu-Ray playback in 1080i, but do to some weird screw-up with my 24 inch monitor, whenever I play a PS3 game in 720P, 20% of the screen gets cut-off. I'll probably need to buy a new HDTV this fall.
BTW: Final Fantasy 12 looks like ass on a LCD screen.
PerfectPosted: Jul 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by ryano
example of an early PS3 adopter. "Shit yeah, i got me a techno mumbo jumbo!... ... ... now what ta hell am i supposed to play on it beside's high=def versions of movies i already own?"
i implore everyone on the fence about getting one, to wait for the games you really want to play. by then who knows, maybe you'll get a great deal with a rumble SIXAXIS included. just wait, there's really nothing to play on the PS3 right now.
makes perfect sense to me at least.
Why not...Posted: Jul 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by chinchilla
...Ninja Gaiden Sigma? Also, Lair comes out early next month (hopefully). Stranglehold comes out later in August as well, and I'd recommend getting the PS3 collector's edition of that just so you can get a $10 Blu-Ray copy of Hard Boiled.
FF12Posted: Jul 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by Tetherknife
Oh lord, FF12 was nooot my thing. I got about 6 hours into it and it completely lost my interest. The story and the combat system did it for me, and yes I have played hardcore RPG's before.
And, I totally want a PS3 after watching the E3 press conference, but if I do I will have 0 money left for games this Fall and holy shit, there are at least 10 games that I want to buy. I'll pick one up next year.
I'm actually gonna get one tomorrow.Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by bravertuna
When I get it set up, I'll send you a friend request.
And anyone else here. I'll put up a post on my page for PSN tag dumping.
Also happened to take the plungePosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by cartman414
...but for a different reason: craigslist. For $400, I am now the proud, or otherwise, owner of a 60 GB + sixaxis. The glossy finish on the thing alone screams high-end. At least I got a good deal out of it, and can most likely get my money back if I decide there are more pressing needs and/or not enough games to justify my purchase.
NicePosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Sephiroth Sin
I'd say get GT:HD for sure. It's a demo to be sure, but it shows of your TV nicely.
I'd give Ninja Gaiden Sigma a try if you havent played the hell out of it already. Also get Tekken DR and play with a friend. I know most of the 1up staff is all about VF and mentioning other fighters is pretty much taboo, but Tekken really is a great party game. =]
Oh alsoPosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Sephiroth Sin
Keep going with Resistance, i felt the same way at first. Definitely give online a try. It's a twitch shooter, but once you get the hang of it online it can be very satisfying.
MotorStormPosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by EViD
isn't my thing as well, till I actually got it and it's the only thing I play these days. Playing it using sixaxis and in-car-view is unlike anything you would expect from such a game. Totally awesome and if you got a PS3, there's no excuse not picking it up.
Ninja Gaiden SigmaPosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by DarkRadiance
YAYPosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by mikeslemonade
Hurray, Patrick has redemmed his respect from me. If you did not like FFX then you will not like FFXII. Go with Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Motorstorm.
gets betterPosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by GodfatherX
RFoM improves a lot about halkway thru, definitely keep playing sigma is good but is a rental if you played black a lot
CongratulationsPosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by freethought
As far as Resistance goes, try out the multiplayer before you totally right it off. The game's definitely worth finishing though.
Other than that,I'd say avoid CaC unless you have 4 pads. Online is a lag-fest, at least it is for me.
I am tooPosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Peacemaker02
I'm picking one up soon also. I was thinking about getting Resistance and Motorstorm. Ninja Gaiden looks good but I already have Black for my Xbox so I really don't think it was worth the 60 bucks again. I have a feeling I might come home gameless and just try out some demos first to see what I like. Congrats on it, have fun.
When you mean message do you mean through here or PSN, If it isn't full by time I get mine.
i bought one last weekend tooPosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by helixx
i'll send you a psn invite. it'd be a 100% growth of my friends list since no one i have is willing to fork over the cash to play (maybe) one solid title for the platform out now.
two weeks ago my 360 died. while away on vacation i did some thinking, saw the price drop and decided to take the ps3 plunge regardless of the scarcity of good games (now).
i bought ninja gaiden sigma because i never finished it for the xbox and have been really liking it on the ps3. i also picked up motorstorm (underwhelmed) and resistance (underwhelmed).
the 360 is undoubtedly a better gaming platform at the moment given the games out already (gears, crackdown, rainbow6, darkness), plus the games coming in the next two or three months (bioshock foremost among them). if you haven't gotten the darkness for 360 yet, consider it for ps3. i've played both but haven't been impressed by the ps3 version. i've noticed the levels take longer to load, i actually get big frame rate hits that i've never got with the 360 version and there's no achievements. sony has some sort of achievement equivalent messages popping up but i see no place to view them. still, its a solid title for the ps3.
not being able to play my guitar hero 1 or 2 using my existing gh controller is beyond hatefully depressing. anybody have a good way to do this?
i played my first bout of resistance multiplayer with my (only) ps3-owning friend last night. i guess i'm spoiled by xbl's integration, easy way to set up matches and out-of-game chats but resistance was a pain to get set up, get going, and overall just not that great. we had fun once we got it going but it wasn't easy. if we didn't have cell phones to coordinate, i fail to see how we could have made it happen from within the confines of the psn environment.
you can't invite people to games from outside of the game environments (that i've seen). if you're in a chat, you have to quit out to do anything else, thus breaking the ability to coordinate easily. on the plus side, my phone's bluetooth headset set up easily and worked out of the box. the downside is the horrible echo that seemed to pervade both sides of the conversation unless we turned the volume way down. this was through the headphones (no external speakers used) so its a bit baffling. we could live with it however.
i guess, rather than go on and on, i'll just say that psn has a long way to go to compete with xbl. its free, but you get what you pay for. i'm spoiled for choice and flexibility with xbl and anytime i'm presented with something on psn that's been in xbl for 2 years that either doesn't exist for psn or is horribly implemented, i get pretty pissed. at this point, the $3/month is a pittance if this is what you get as an alternative.
the sixaxis is inferior to the xbox controller too. i know many disagree but i feel the xbox controller sits in my hand better and the trigger controls are much easier to hold down for long periods.
there are some good demos although gran turismo underwhelmed me when compared to forza2. super stardust hd is fantastic and gets a lot of play. i'd like to try the co-op mode at some point.
its not all bad. the games coming up in the next couple of months should be awesome. heavenly sword is top of my list.
god this was long... sorry.
Cool.Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Feenwager
You've had exactly the same experience with your PS3 in the beginning as I did. I echo anyone else who says go buy Planet Earth. You won't regret it.
I love Insomniac, but playing Resistance after Gears is definitely the exact opposite way to do things. My brother is playing Resistance and then going to play Gears, so I'm interested to see how that works out.
Buy Ninja Gaiden SigmaPosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Panda_Bear_Shenyu
And team up with Garnett to stage a Final Fantasy XII comeback pwnage on Shane.
Hope you are enjoying it.Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by hallen1007
I am enjoying my PS3, but I will admit that right now Live is way ahead of the PSN. Oblivion, Rainbow 6, and VF5 along with Resistance and Motorstorm are really good games to buy. And the College Hoops 2K7 is nice too, but sports games get no love here on 1up. Oh, and Ninja Gaiden sigma is tight too. As for Gears, I love the game, but I never compare it to Resistance. Yes, Gears looks better, but they give you very limited enemies at one time to achieve this look. I 'd like to see them do it with about 15-20 enemies on screen. And Resistance could really use more color besides brown.
"More importantly, the Blu-ray playback is fantastic"Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Maxxthepenguin
...More importantly?
What a sad state of affairs
agreed...Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by lyfestory
I'd go with Ninja Gaiden Sigma.. definitely worth playing again, even if youve played the previous versions.. the Pirates of the Caribbean movies are supposed to look great on Blu-ray.. and the upcoming movie, 300, thats one im definitely picking up..
games, well, as everyone knows, the system is a little short on noteworthy games.. most of the better stuff has already been on the 360(Oblivion, Clancy's Vegas, etc.)
the purchase would definitely be much more worth it by the end of the year tho..
You...Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Tylahedras
Require more podcast time, I insist... must I "put down" one of the other frequents in order to make it happen? Dammit, march into Garnett's office and FORCE yourself upon him. I mean that in the podcast way not... you know...
Welcome to the 'fold'Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by tanod24
Make sure you download Folding at Home. I have mine set as the screensaver on the XMB so it's on whenever I'm not playing.
Ninja Gaiden: Sigma
Virtua Fighter 5 (if you like fighting games)
If you didn't get them for 360 yet,
The Darkness, Rainbow Six: Vegas, and Oblivion are worth checking out as well.
Worth a download:
Flow - just because it's a neat experience or if you haven't played it on PS3 before (coop is fun)
Gripshift (if puzzle racing sounds interesting to you)
Gran Turismo: HD - because it's free
MotorStorm demo
Folklore demo - off of Japan store
Check out my weekly PSN thread on NeoGAF if you're wondering what else has come out on the Store lately and feel free to pop in to the Resistance thread and try playing a couple games with the clan when you're ready.
CongratsPosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by mcloki
Do remember to install Folding@Home. I don't even know if 1up has a folding team. Don't look at the leaderboards on SSHD. Those two guys in front are freaks of nature to get over a billion.
Oblivion was good if you haven't played it. And VF5 is very good. and like online is never going to make it to the PS3. The game drought will soon be over. R&C and Lair being a few standouts. And with GT Prologue rumoured to be coming out October-Novemberish. A hundred or so days till Halloween. And since you should have your 360 back you can play Halo in October. And I only have one Bluray reco. Goodfellas. It looks like it was shot yesterday.
Patrick (and all others) bashing Resistance...Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by tanhauser
There's something you guys have to think about. There's nothing wrong with Resistance, it is actually a very good game. The problem is that comparing it to Gears of War is not the way to go. GoW is an over-the-shoulder 3rd person shooter, whereas Resistance is a straight-up 1st person shooter. Thus, you can't expect to experience GoW style of gameplay on a shooter like Resistance. This same principle, by the way, applies to all FPS, like the upcoming Halo 3.
I wonder if you'll be bashing Halo 3 because there's no cover system... somehow I doubt it.
If your going to compare Resistance to something...Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by mega_man360
Then compare it to Call of Duty 2. Both were launch titles and both have ties to WWII. And I haven't played Resistance yet so I couldn't tell you which is better.
Blue-Ray moviesPosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by SuperSmashSolidSnake
The Phantom of the Opera is a good choice. The movie is ok but it looks awesome on Blue-Ray. Casino Royale also looks really good.
I recently bought one tooPosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Ap3cHe_w3rrior_falco
On July 12 as soon as I heard about the "price cut". I only bought RFOM and HDMI cable with it. The game looks really good in 720p on my set and controls really well. However, I'll admit the lack of a cover system in the game is definetely a short coming. I used motion controls to shake off an attack from a Chimera in the game and it didn't feel like a natural movement at all. I'd really would like rumble support as well. It's still a good game though.
1 more thing the "selection"...Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Ap3cHe_w3rrior_falco
Of the 5 blu ray movies sucked and SUCKED hard! So you didn't miss anything.
For those interested in witnessing the horror here you go:
360 vs PS3Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by svachalek
As a 360 owner it wasn't PS3 vs 360 or even PS3 vs nothing, it was PS3 vs a simple disc player. A BluRay or HD-DVD player is worth owning because HD cable or downloads just are NOT the same. The PS3 is a decent player that also lets you play all the excellent end-of-life PS2 titles like God of War II and Odin Sphere. I don't expect to play a lot of PS3 games but I think the occasional AAA exclusive will make it worth owning.
How much did the $500 pricetag motivate the purchase?Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Celebrant
Do you think you would've still bought it this week if the price was still at $600?
Is your purchase anecdotal evidence of the "clearance price" being an effective price-point for the PS3?
hurrahPosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by noisynoisy
Congrats and welcome.
Oh and also...Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by noisynoisy
Why don't you pick up or rent Ninja Gaiden Sigma.
Also I recommend checking out Calling All Cars, the Gran Turismo HD demo, Tekken and flOw.
Then make a Japanese account to get a Folklore demo and Hot Shots Golf 5 demo.
There really isn't a better time...Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Krakrok
...than now to pick up a PS3 because of the impending loss of full backwards compatibility. As far as Resistance goes, stick with it. I didn't think it was so great at first either. And Motorstorm isn't even remotely my kind of game but it's a fun diversion if friends are around. Anyways, congrats and enjoy! Oh, and listen to Cykey. You MUST get Planet Earth on bluray.
I might take the plunge on July 30th.Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Hylian_Knight
I just got a new T.V. for the first time in 15 years and it is absolutly SICK. 50 inch Panasonic Plasma, hell yeah! The only thing is now that I have seen Hi-Def broadcasts and Red Sox games, I am thinking my movie watching needs to step it up into the hi-def era. So the reason I might buy a PS3 on the 30th can be sumed up in one number, 300.
I agree.Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by BeauRosser
Resistance: Fall of Man sucked my ass hole. I really wish Sony would adopt a different analog sick placement on their controllers. Something where my thumbs don't fight each other for room during a FPS would be divine.

Ninja GaidenPosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by David2Crazy
I suggest picking up Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and buying Calling All Cars on the PSN store.
To me, no reason to buy a PS3 until 2008Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by OhioSurferDude
The 360 has the best lineup for now until the end of 2007. I'll be too busy playing Mass Effect, Bioshock, COD4, GTAIV, more Gears, Assassin's Creed, Halo 3, and others to have the time to get into any PS3 games.
That being said, I do like Sony's lineup for 2008. So, I'd rather sit back and see if they ever put out a 20GB system at $399, see how games like KZ2, Uncharted, HS, and Lair turn out, and then MAYBE look to pick up those in 2008. Plus, at that time, the "marginal" games will be much cheaper to pick up - games like RFOM, Motorstorm, NG: Sigman, etc.
Got one too...Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by whyphilosophy
Yeah, after the Sony presentation at E3 I went out and bought one too.
Kind of dissapointing so far. Motorstorm and Flow are cool, although Motorstorm doesn't wow me as much as it used to, probably because DiRT was so good.
Played the Resistance demo. Not impressed at all.
I do have to admit that the dvd playback is impressive. My upconverting dvd player broke a few months ago, so the PS3 is standing in nicely.
I got one too.Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by AdrenalineMJ
E3 and price drop convinced me. Have Ninja Gaiden Sigma and The Darkness, both pretty cool.
Definitely still not convinced....Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Cyberxion!0!
Yeah, I'll likely get a PS3 this Fall, but it has more to do with me wanting to own every console on the market during a given generation than anything else. The lack of compelling software is problematic, but hey, I'm the exact kind of consumer whore that Sony loves. Meh.
Two thingsPosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by goingcommando117
1. Buy Ninja Gaiden Sigma.
2. Give Resistance a chance. Things get a lot more interesting once you get rolling with the game. It takes time, and the Reapers make everything a little brighter.
What a shame....Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Wii60_FTW
You have turned to the dark side of gaming...... I understand your need for a blew-ray player, but Resistance? I am ashamed of you. WHY...WHY.... I WANT GOD OF WAR 3, TOO, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO BUY ONE YET. WHY COULDN'T U HOLD-OUT JUST A LITTLE WHILE LONGER????
I considered buying one with that 5 free DVD deal, but the selection was ASS, indeed.
PS3 needs good games. Plus, HD-DVD is better than Blew-ray. HD-DVD uses a new format created specifically for HD playback, whereas Blew-ray is just the old codec at a higher bit-rate which requires more space to look good. HD DVD is by far the winner. The only reason Blew-ray is winning in sales right now is because of the BS3. From an inside source of mine, HD DVD is about to blow da fuck up. BIG, baby...BIG.

Is it as amazing as they say it is on the podcast? The only reason I'm going to be getting the Blu-Rays is to test how they look. Maybe I can pull the old, I lost my receipt at wal-mart or something.
The biggest reason I'm getting a PS3 this year would have to be this.
How can you not want to play that?
Well... look at it this way.Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by dadeisvenm
You got in before the 80 GB 599.99 and you can get all the PS3 goodness while waiting for the 65 nm Xbox 360. Thats what I'm doing.
If I see you in Resistance I be sure to drop you a line ... or a grenade. ;)
PfftPosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Rpg_Worshiper
Doesn't anyone else think it's stupid that you have to keep making internal memory cards just to play through an RPG and have enough space to save? Crap, crap, crap. I want to play Dragon Quest VIII without having to worry about how much damn space I have.
re: dadeisvenmPosted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Imnotafanboy
Exactly my point. Also,when that 60gb starts to get a little cramped i get a 120gb for $80 and then u have even more functionality of a 80gb ps3 with 40gb more.
How can I not play that? easy...Posted: Jul 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Wii60_FTW
cuz I'm strait? sorry but looking at some sweaty dude with some "tite" jeans and a gun doesn't do it for me. seeing as how we don't know jack shit about the game, why would we be all hot for it? A game that we KNOW is going to utterly destroy the competition is....Mass Effect..because of award-winning KOTOR. YEAAAYYEEE. not some turdy tomb raider with cover ape. NO THANKS.
That's almost as funny as the people on Gametrailers all over the Heavenly Turd game. It's nothing more than the most blatantly obvious God of War rip (but nowhere near as good, obviously) made by a bunch of short-haired lesbians. I don't want no red-haired spaghetti sheman yelling orders at me in my games. Give me Kratos or give me death. And then we find out that the whole game is just a bunch of random arena battles with no puzzles or temples? ha. PASS.
PS3 PURCHASE NOW? IT'S A LITTLE EARLYPosted: Jul 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by K1LLSWITCH
Don't get me wrong it's your decision if you want a PS3 now or not but the console is going to collect dust in the coming months until something worth while comes along. Yes it was exciting and hopeful for the console at Sony's press conference this year but that's what these events are intended for - to wet your appetite for something new and fresh, to get you all revved up to buy a PS3, which worked.With that said I truely hope that you enjoy the console with all of it's wonderful features. It just sucks that the console will be put on hold for a little while longer until something comes along. 'Till then it's Resistance: Fall of Man.
Wii60_WTF?Posted: Jul 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by helixx
hey wii60_ftw, you're not playing god of war on your wii OR your 360 so how does "heavenly sword" being similar affect you? besides, HS does have a lot of different game mechanics from GoW and it looks damn good in the process. i personally can't wait to play it.
i have a 360... and a Wii... but i don't regret the ps3 purchase. troll away though. it makes for entertaining wrongness.
Have fun!Posted: Jul 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by PoseidonJ
Resistance is kind of boring, I agree, but it is a solid game. You should also try out ninja gaiden sigma, amazing action/hack em and slash em game.
In august Lair comes out (14th). And in late august-early september, Heavenly Sword (which will have multiplayer, free for download, in november) and Warhawk come out.
helixxPosted: Jul 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by Wii60_FTW
...because I have a PS2, ape. I've owned every console since the NES and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. It doesn't change the fact that Heavenly Sword sucks. Everyone but you blind fansheep know this.
Besides God of War 3, PS3 has almost nothing to offer gamers.

Tekken 6, littlebigplanet, heavenly sword, ninja gaiden sigma, ratchet and clank 5, uncharted, folklore, MGS4, FFXIII, FFXIIIVS, warhawk, Lair, Killzone 2, LA Noire, Wipeout HD, SOCOM: Confrontation, white knight story, and I'm not even getting started!

1up Editors DELETE Fact-Based Comments they don't agree with!Posted: Aug 08, 2007 12:00AM PST by paul_bear_bryant
Two of my screen-names have been banned, and three Comments being repeatedly posted have been Deleted. I want to know WHY!
There are comments on this website that are written with swear words, using vulgar language. My comments were professionally written. During the Madden comparison article, I talked about three things.
(1) Xbox 360 can display FAR MORE polygons than the PS3. Xbox 360 can display 500,000,000 polygons per second, compared to only 275,000,000 polygons per second for PS3. These are basic Specs that can be seen on the boxes as proof.
That is why the Football games--Madden 2008, NCAA Football 2008, and All-Pro Football--run at TWICE the framerate on the Xbox 360. Those games have a similar number of polygons per frame (although noticably higher on Xbox 360), but there are TWICE as many frames being displayed each second.
The reason this can happen is because the Xbox 360 has a potential of displaying up to 500,000,000 polygons per second, while Playstation 3 can only display up to 275,000,000 polygons per second.
That is why games like F.E.A.R. run at 30 frames on the Xbox 360, but get choppy and dip below 20 frames per second on PS3, and go into slow-motion at times...as the 1up review proves.
(2) Virtually all developers acknowledge the PS3 is difficult to work with compared to the Xbox 360 and PC.
(3) It is now fully established that NCAA Football 08 on the PS3 "Struggles to run at 30 frames per second at 720p resolution," while the Xbox 360 version "Runs smoothly at 60 frames per second at 1080p."
My comments have not only been deleted on the Madden comparison article, but also the article that talks about PS3 in Japan. I made the comment that the PS3 is STILL selling poorly in Japan. I pointed out the FACT that PS3 was outsold 3:1 by the Wii this past week in Japan. I also said that it goes deeper than that, because that means PS3 was outsold by over 50,000 systems in Japan, in one week alone!
OBVIOUSLY the Playstation 3 is NOT doing well in Japan. OBVIOUSLY the PS3 is falling FAR SHORT of the goals of Sony's Business Plan.
If the writer named, "Yoshi Sato," is someone who has some sort of "Japanese loyalty," to the PS3, then that is HIS PROBLEM! But he should NOT be deleting Comments from people on the website, just because they do not agree with his personal thoughts!
I am writing this at 12:30am EST. 1up has 1 day to write back to me at the email address of: email@example.com
If 1up does not write back, I will be seeking legal action against the website. I will also present this information to Microsoft, Nintendo, and anyone else willing to listen. I have already contacted several local newspapers, and I am expected a return call tomorrow. I will post this information on EVERY website, and write to EVERY magazine for as long as possible, if 1up is too selfish and too biased not to respond to me.
By the way, before Yoshi Sato and the 1up Staff deleted by Comments, I took pictures of the screen and backed up those files, which proved they were there. After the comments were deleted, I then posted another group of comments that pointed out the comments were missing. I took the time to back up those screen pictures, as well.
Bottom Line: I really have 1up in a difficult situation. I have PROVEN that 1up has editors and a staff that delete professionally written files, simply because they do not agree with the information posted. That won't look good to the media.
And when I get lots of attention using the screen-name of "Fony Plagiarization 3DO," that will make the PS3 look even worse to people. I wonder what people will say when I am asked, "Why did you name yourself Fony Plagiarization 3DO," and then I go on to explain why. That was the whole reason why I used that screen name--to make it so things exploded in your face for being so biased!
And just so you know, I took screen-pictures of my BLOG in the Fony Plagiarization file before you banned me from opening that profile again.
Well, 1up staff, I look forward to hearing from you. Just ask to speak to Mike.

Team Alexander: If Khan Wants Next, He Can Get It!
By Ryan Burton
An article recently ran on BoxingScene.com that stated that former junior welterweight champion Amir Khan was interested in facing the winner of the fight between his fellow countryman Kell Brook and American Devon Alexander, who holds the IBF welterweight crown. The fight is scheduled to take place on January 19th at a venue in the United States to be determined.
Alexander's manager and trainer Kevin Cunningham likes Khan's plan and hopes that he doesn't change his mind after he sees the outcome of the fight.
"If Khan wants the winner he can get it. First Brook then Khan, sounds like a plan. After Devon beats Brook I hope Amir doesn't get amnesia," Cunningham told BoxingScene.com.

So you have added several character styles to this document. I am working in this file called paragraph_styles.ai. And I now have certain settings that I want to apply that are not available at the character level; they're only available as attributes of a paragraph. For example, space before or maybe some tab settings. Let's focus on the bottom part of this page right here, this part where our users can cut and fill out a form to order some flowers. And let's kind of go over how we might create and modify some paragraph styles.
Now note over here that I have already created some character styles at this part of the document. So if I take my Type tool and I click over here inside of this text object, notice there is one big area type object and inside of it I have different styled text. So this text over here is my form header. This is my form body text and this over here is form information. That's where people will fill in their information. Now you can see over here that I don't have really that much space between this paragraph and this one, so maybe I want to add some extra spaces to this paragraph right here. So I might create a paragraph style that allows me to add some space to some paragraphs.
So I have my cursor here anywhere inside of this paragraph. I am going to switch to the Paragraph Styles panel, and I am going to click on this button over here, while holding on the Option key of the Alt key on my keyboard, to create a new paragraph style and I am going to call this one form body text. Next, I am going to click over here where it says Basic Character Formats. Notice that I am setting all of these to be ignored. I don't really want to touch this. I want this to simply inherit the settings that were inside the character style. Now I am going to go over here to where it says Indents and Spacing, and I am going to choose for Space Before, to increase that value to maybe 6 pts.
I want there to be a little bit of extra space there, and I am going to click OK. Now that I have created that form body text paragraph style, with my cursor blinking inside the style, I am just going to go ahead now and click once to apply it and then click again to again clear that little plus sign, so that now you can apply it to the text that I am seeing right here. So notice that my font and the point size and the leading, that all stayed the same, because those were inherited from the character style that was applied to this text. But I simply use this paragraph style to now also in addition add some space before.
Let's take a look at this text down over here. I want to create those lines that maybe I'll use tabs and leaders to create, and again, that's something I can only apply at the paragraph level. So I am just going to go ahead now and put my cursor anywhere here in the word Name. I am going to hold down my Option key and click over here on this little button to create a new paragraph style. I will call this one form information text. Again, if I click on Basic Character Formats, I'll see that all these settings are going to be inherited from the character style. What I care about here is actually setting some tab stops.
So I am going to go right to the Tabs panel. I am going to set a tab over here, just click anywhere. I don't really care exactly where it is going to just yet, but I know that I want to set a leader, so I am going to choose underscore character, Shift+Underscore. And I really want this to actually be a little bit further, closer to about 3 1/2 inches, because I want it to be far enough long so it goes beyond where Zip is. So I am just going to click on this little arrow here to kind of see more of my ruler. I am going to drag this tab stop to about maybe 3 1/2 inches. Of course, if I knew that value also, I can just punch it in right here. But now I'll go ahead and I'll click OK, and now I am going to click and drag to highlight these five different paragraphs, and I'll click on Form Information Text once and then twice again.
So now you can see that I had actually added those leaders here. I already had tab characters typed inside of my text, so they automatically now extend with those leader characters. Now I am going to go ahead now and deselect my text. And likewise, before when we were working with the character styles, we were able to modify the character styles after we ready applied it to our text. Now I realize that these tabs don't come all the way to the end of the frame, and the easiest way for me to do that is to just set my paragraph to align to the right. Again, I don't have paragraph alignment settings at the character level, so I can't put them in my character style, but of course, I can put them in my paragraph style.
So now that I've created this paragraph style here called Form Information Text, let's go ahead and modify it. I will go ahead now and double-click on it. I'll choose Indents and Spacing and where it says Alignment, I will change it from Left to now be Right. Now when I click OK, I can see that the lines extend all the way towards the end of the text frame. So using a combination of both character styles and paragraph styles allows me to quickly style my text, not just in one part of the document, but wherever that text is used throughout the entire document.
In fact, a little bit later in this chapter, we'll learn how to actually extend that beyond just a single document and apply those styles to multiple documents. However, before we get to that step, I want to focus a little bit on that plus sign that we've been seeing that appears next to our styles, when we apply them. What does that plus sign mean? We'll find out in the next movie.

Agency Proposes Over $81,000 in Penalties
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has cited Lake Michigan Contractors Inc. (LMC), Holland, Mich., and Kauff's of Fort Pierce Inc. following the investigation of an accident at Sailfish Point Hutchinson Island, Stuart, Fla.
One Kauff's employee was killed and an LMC employee was seriously injured Nov. 21 when they were struck by falling pipes to be used during a beach refurbishment project.
"Both employers were aware that pipes had shifted during transport to the job site and could fall and strike workers assigned to unload them from the trailer," said Luis Santiago, OSHA's Ft. Lauderdale area director. "However, they took no measures to eliminate the hazard."
OSHA issued one willful citation to Lake Michigan Contractors, with a proposed penalty of $49,000, for operating a front-end loader with defective brakes. The company also received six serious citations, with total proposed penalties of $19,250, for failure to use restraining devices while operating heavy equipment; allowing employees to stand under unstable loads; and failing to protect workers from vehicular traffic, provide personal protective equipment -- hard hats and safety shoes --and implement a safety inspection program. An additional citation, with a proposed penalty of $700, was issued for failing to maintain current injury records.
Kauff's received four serious citations, with proposed penalties totaling $12,600, for failing to implement a safety inspection program, protect workers from vehicular traffic and provide personal protective equipment.
The companies have 15 business days to contest the OSHA citations and proposed penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The work site was inspected by OSHA's Ft. Lauderdale area office at Jacaranda Executive Court, Building H-100, 8040 Peters Road; phone: (954) 424-0242.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health.

text: American Flag Facts Updated: Thu 9:44 AM, May 19, 2011 Only the President and Governors of the State can order flags on government buildings to be flown at half staff. When a flag is no longer serviceable or repairable, it should be destroyed in a dignified manner, such as burning. It is acceptable to wash or dry clean an American flag when it is soiled or otherwise dirty. You do not have to destroy a flag that has touched the ground. If it becomes dirty, the flag should be cleaned. The Flag Code does not prohibit any individual from having the flag draped across a coffin. The deceased does not have to be a veteran to have the flag draped on their coffin. The American flag is composed of thirteen equal horizontal red stripes that alternate with white ones. A blue-colored rectangle in the upper left quarter of the flag bears 50 white five-pointed stars. They are arranged in nine horizontal rows where the rows containing six stars each, alternate with rows consisting of five stars. There is no legal definition for the symbolism of the colors used in the American flag. However, it is said that white signifies purity and innocence, red stands for valor and blue for vigilance, perseverance and justice. Facts compiled from the USA Flag Site and Buzzle.com. "Chalk the Walk" kicks off Butler's summer program for children

I visited Dr. Gershengorn at his Brookline office (Cardiology Associates of Greater Boston) during summer of 2009. I hadn't seen a doctor in a few years, and needed a new primary care physician. I found Dr. Gershengorn through my health insurance provider, which listed his practice as a Primary Care Physician as well as Cardiologist.I scheduled a standard check up appointment with Dr. Gershengorn, and before being examined by the doctor I was looked over by his assistant who administered various tests, such as a blood pressure reading, as well comprehensive blood sample, and an ECG. I was informed that this was standard procedure, and was part of the initial check up visit. Unfortunately, I was not informed about the blood test BEFORE coming in, and wasn't told to fast before the appointment. As such, I ate minutes beforehand, which nullifies some of the results of the test. My blood sugar in fact came high, and I was told that I would have to retake the test again to obtain and accurate result. Also, the ECG wasn't covered by my insurance, and I had to pay for it out of pocket. I'm left questioning whether I really neeed the ECG, considering that I was a generally healthy 28 year old.I would describe Dr. Gershengorn's bedside manner as curt and brusque. He didn't introduce himself to me in the first place, and didn't even offer to shake my hand. Overall, he didn't always seem interested in my questions or concerns. When performing a testicular exam, Dr. Gershengorn did so without any warning or asking for permission, and performed the exam without wearing a glove. Needless to say that was unpleasant and shocking experience.

Annual Seminar of the Bielefeld Graduate School in History and Sociology
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
Call for papers for the international Annual Seminar "Dynamism and Change" from 8-11 February 2010
at the Bielefeld Graduate School in History and Sociology (BGHS), a recipient of financial support from the Excellence Initiative of the German Government.
Distinguished national and international historians and sociologists have been invited to come and give basic introductions to the the seminar topics. This call for papers is addressed to PhD students in history and sociology and invites them to make an application based on their PhD projects in the hope of presenting their research in Bielefeld.
Dynamism and Change
What factors lead to change or trigger a certain dynamism? What do structures contribute to change? What is the role of institutions and "organizational fields" (Paul J. DiMaggio) in change? What prevents change and causes barriers? In discussing these issues, we will not only look at structures, mechanisms or institutions but will also ask what is the importance of chance and contingency for questions of dynamism and change.
It is planned to deal with these broad issues, fundamental to history and sociology, from these three aspects:
1) Deadlock and Reproduction
Tradition is often seen as an obstacle to change, the term being used synonymously with barrier. But this has changed in recent times, with scholars (e.g. José Casanova and Jan Assmann) more and more often pointing out that traditions can set in train dynamic processes, not least because they may legitimize change.
Also welcome are presentations that concern themselves with the function of repetitions, rituals or symbolic languages. It is, finally, intended to take into account mechanisms, such as censorship, taboos, conventions but also lock-in effects or the role of institutions that prevent dynamism.
2) Breaks and Continuities
This topic focuses especially on those social mechanisms that lead to breaks and make change possible. No less important will be questions of the role of chance and contingency, which are often neglected, in both history and sociology, in the quest for comprehensive explanatory patterns.
We will also, however, accept contributions to other topics, such as empirical studies of emergency, processes, generations, processes of transformation etc.
3) Reflection and Observation
What theories are appropriate for the analysis of barriers and dynamism? What chance do classic universal theories like that of modernity stand against more recent deconstructionist approaches? What is the explanatory value of cultural history and its accompanying various "turns"? Can we dispense with structures? What role can periodizations play?
In addition, we would like to ask young scholars to submit applications that investigate projection, simulation, game theory, chaos research or counterfactual history, and that raise the question of the degree to which change can be planned.
For the first two focuses especially we would like to encourage young scholars to send in applications that are both of a theoretically high standard and show an empirical orientation. Finally, the BGHS has a strong commitment to interdisciplinary exchange and welcomes applications that consciously seek to promote a fruitful exchange between history and sociology.
Select contributions to the seminar will be published in the journal "InterDisciplines", the first issue of which will appear in 2010.
Conference languages: English and German
Abstracts (1 page max.) in German or in English should be submitted via e-mail along with a short C.V. by 25 September, 2009 to Dr. des. Hedwig Richter: email@example.com

Changed my life. What an amazing surgeon. I had 3-level spinal fusion and was walking in days and pain relieved instantly.
Very approachable
Okay, let me make this perfectly clear .... I LOVE THIS DOCTOR !! He has done wonders for my back (surgery was 5 hours if that tells you anything) and I'm not even completely fused yet...I have little, if any, real pain (I lived with it for 15 years ! ) and once I'm fused will be able to walk well again ! I had RN's coming into my hospital room wanting to see my incision....every one of their comments were "Oh my, that's beautiful work!"..... I have the utmost respect for this man and his abilities! He's very good at what he does and the best part is......he knows it !!! Great guy !!!
My son saw Dr. Scodary 2 years ago for a spinal fusion. My son was 20 years old at the time of the surgery. 2 years and counting and he appears to have a very good outcome from the surgery. Before the surgery his pain was almost unbearable and now it is reduced by 95%. That's an awesome outcome.
I have not had my surgery yet but it is schedule in about a month and a half, but I have spent time with him in appointments a couple times and have talked to Barb, his medical assistant, when I scheduled my surgery, she is the sweetest lady I've ever spoken to at a drs office, she made me feel so at ease and answered every question i had and made me aware that they, her and doctor scodary, we're there for any questions I had before and up to the surgery. She assured me that I can call it anytime and asking me questions I want, I couldn't have been made to feel more comfortable by her :-) she spent almost 30 min answering my questions about the surgery etc.
As my second back surgery,I found Dr. Scodary and staff excellent. He quickly earned my trust when he was recommended by a family friend who is an out-of-state neurosurgeon. I was not disappointed. After multi-level fusion, My pain has been reduced from a chronic 8 to a 1. Absolute miracle. DePaul was excellent as a hospital as well.
The lady named Barb in the office was rude and was not friendly at all. She makes me not want to come back.
exceptional doctor and person!
Worth the wait :)
Although the Doc. didn't help my case at all. I found him to be quite personable and a joy to talk to. I was hoping for another visit just so I could see him again. Which is why the ratings are low. I didn't spend enough time with him and haven't seen him sense. I have had a crush on him ever sense I met him. Although its been at least ten years I still think of him often. What a sweetheart!!! I tried to call to thank him for being so kind but was treated rather rudely on the phone so I'd like to say thank you now.
Barb the lady in the office in incredible rude. Acted annoyed when asked a simple question.
