Additional Complaint Information
On July 21, 2014, BBB recognized a pattern of complaints from consumers regarding sales practice issues. Consumers allege representatives of Classic Connections Travel Company Inc (CCTCI) initiate contact and state they represent a buyer interested in the consumers' Mexican timeshare properties. Consumers claim the company promises no up-front fees will be required, and advises using the services of Georgia Escrow Company. However, consumers allege that before the transaction closes, CCTCI claims the Mexican government now requires prepayment for taxes and other fees. Consumers state CCTCI repeatedly requests they wire thousands of dollars to Georgia Escrow Company to cover these fees. After consumers have wired amounts ranging from $2,350 to $156,000, they allege neither CCTCI nor Georgia Escrow Company are responsive.
On July 24, 2014, BBB notified the company of the complaint pattern. To date, the company has not responded to BBB's request to address the pattern.

SharePoint 2010 - Windows Explorer View Error - Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer
We're running SharePoint 2010 (MOSS) using a Windows 7 Ultimate client. When I go into the Windows Explorer view I get the error, "Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer". Oddly enough there are times (usually the first time into the site) which this works briefly, but after returning to Browse mode, it won't work with the above mentioned error. I've seen a number of suggestions, none seem to work. The Web Client Service is running on the client. Desktop Experience is running on the server. The automatically detect (proxy) settings is unchecked in the Browser (IE8 by the way). My version of MSDAIPP.DLL is 12.0.6415.1000 dated 11/20/2008 at 10:58PM and is actually in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Ole DB folder (other posts have this in a different folder).
Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Only does that to me when on Server 2008 without the Desktop Experience activated. It's never happened to me with Windows 7 on multiple machines and multiple builds, but I don't put SP2010 on Win7 - only on W2K8R2.

We are having the exact same issue here on all our Win7 + IE8 clients. Also the odd 'works in beginning but doesn't work after retuning to Browse mode' issue.
Web Client Service is running. (Maybe it crashes in the background when browsing to other websites ?)
Version of MSDAIPP.DLL is 12.0.6415.1000 dated 11/20/2008 at 11:58PM and is in C:\Windows\Installer\$PatchCache$\Managed\00002109010090400000000000F01FEC\12.0.4518 and
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\System\Ole DB
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated !!
I also went trough the ' Whitepaper - Understanding and Troubleshooting the SharePoint Explorer View ' from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=c523ac7a-5724-48be-b973-641e805588f4 which doesn't seem to explain this unexpected behaviour.
Any help on this would be GREATLY appreciated !!
I'd love to have something positive to say here, but all I can add, is the context in wich I get this error message (Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer):
Our environment is a SBS2008 network. 90% of computers run Windows 7 PRO.
We have the SBS server wich hosts the companyweb (SS3) and another server with Windows Server 2008 STD with Sharepoint Foundation installed.
If I use Windows XP Pro, I can use the Explorer view on both Sharepoint sites. No problem.
If use a Windows 7 to the "companyweb" (sharepoint services 3.0) there is no issue opening in explorer view, but I get the error "Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer" when I try this view on the "Foundation" site.
"to be continued..."
I was having this issue with a Win7 IE8 machine. The WebClient service has always been running, but restarting the service got explorer view working. Apparently the service becomes unstable at some point on my machine. Not a solution, but more information perhaps.
Let me just preface with, I'm not an IT person, just an end user so I can't try most of the suggestions above. I do know that Explorer View was working perfectly last week on Windows 7, 32 bit running IE 8. My system then ran some automatic updates and it suddenly stopped working. My IT help desk had me load IE 9, the problem resolved itself and worked....up until automatic uploads installed yesterday. I tried uninstalling the Security update for Microsoft Sharepoint Workspace 2010 and when the system rebooted I was able to access Explorer view once and only once and the next time I tried it the error came back and I can no longer access it via Explorer View. There has got to be something in one of the security updates that is causing the problem. If anyone finds a solution please let me know!
Try this:
1. Go to your SharePoint server's applicationhost.config file (under C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\)
2. Go to the <requestFiltering> section of the file:
3.Locate <verbs allowUnlisted
4. Change it to <verbs allowUnlisted="true" applyToWebDAV="true">
5. Do an IISRESET
This should fix the issue.
i am assuming that you alreadyhave Office 2007 or Office 2010 unstalled. WebDav only works on port 80 so if you are running other ports you will e using FPRPC it doesnt look the same as WebDAVE. Desktop experience does NOT need to be running on the Server for any reason unles you are using the Server as your desktop and you want it to look more like Windows 7.
The issue: You are prompted to enter your credentials when you access an FQDN site from a computer that is running Windows Vista or Windows 7 and has no proxy configured, when you attempt to use Explorer View. Pior to creatiing a GPO testng the registry settings below. THis alos manifests itself when running different ersion of Office on the same client like using Porject 2007 and have Office 2010 installed.
The issue occurs:
· On a computer that is running Windows Vista or Windows 7, you do not configure a proxy in Windows Internet Explorer.
· You use Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDav) to access a fully qualified domain names (FQDN) site.
To resolve the issue for a single user
1. ClickStart, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then pressENTER.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
3. On theEdit menu, point to New, and then click Multi-String Value.
4. TypeAuthForwardServerList, and then press ENTER.
5. On theEdit menu, click Modify.
6. In theValue data box, type the URL of the server that hosts the Web share, and then clickOK.
However, in larger organizations it would be difficult to visit every desk and create theAuthForwardServerList Parameter. Instead you have two choices 1) Export the AuthForwardServerList MutiValued String with the FQDNs added to the value and add the resulting .reg file to your login scripts or 2) Create a GPO to push the changes down to the desktops, option 2 is a more elegant solution and can be more easily maintained
To enable all users within an organization to Open Document Libraries in Explorer without being prompted to Authenticate.
1. On the machine where you have Added theAuthForwardServerListMultistring Values to the registry.
2. Open GPO Manager > Right Click on the Domain, Site, or OU and choose Create GPO in this Domain or if you have an IE GPO then edit the existing GPO
3. Go to Computer Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Right Click on Registry
4. Choose New > Registry Wizard > Local Computer, Next > Use the tree View to expand down to where the AuthForwardServerList Multistring Values were added to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
5. Enter a Check into the Box next to the entries you made earlier, Click Finish, and close GPO manager
6. All that's left is to link it to the domain, site or URL and QA
7. The GPO is completed http://bit.ly/d4ji0L and you can view The Value Data or the websites you were mentioning earlier…
8. Using the Wizard to Create the GPO……http://bit.ly/bE8V62

This is a browser issue,you can use below mentioned trick as an alternative
For Example: If your site url is http://servername/Shared%20Documents/AllItems.aspx
Replace all // with \\ and / with \
Also Remove the % or other extra characters with the Library Name and remove the page name.
Now Open Windows Explorer and type - \\servername\Shared Documents\ and press enter.
Document Library will get opened in the Explorer View.

I found online where the error would occur intermittently with SharePoint 2010, however I think the SharePoint version is irrelevant. They said the client would sometimes poll for a SharePoint root site and the error would occur if there was none. We have not seen the error since I created a root site even though we're only using WSS3. Our errors began when we changed clients to Windows 7. So it sounds to me like the issue could be from root site polling due to an IE8 security change in Windows 7.
I solved this simply by opening Internet Explorer and going into Tools>Internet Options>Security>Local Intranet>Sites>Advanced and adding the site that I wanted to use explorer view with. After that the error stopped and I was good to go.
This was cross domain access using a fresh install of Win 7 ultimate.

The mother lode of contaminated sites
NASA once sent a robot in - and nobody ever saw the machine again or collected any scientific data from it... [more inside]
Go on, us!
Brooklyn's Gowanus Canal, long nicknamed the "Lavender Lake" for its copious oil slicks, has gained a new title : Superfund Site. New Yorkers respond with really cool photography. While some developers bow out in light of the recent news, other area developers, hoping for a speedy cleanup of the industrial waste and, uh ... other things ... vow to continue their plans to revitalize the formerly-industrial corridor.
Environmental Change We Can Believe In?
Today was a troubling day for environmentalists. First, the Obama administration announced its decision to nominate a Superfund polluter lawyer to run the DOJ Environment Division, sparking serious concern among environmentalists, and then its was announced that the EPA has confirmed 42 of 48 permits for mountaintop removal in the coal country of Appalachia, sparking criticism from environmental groups.
When Mining Attacks
Picher, Oklahoma was part of a major lead mining area in the central US until the middle of the last century, when the mines closed down. It is now the epicenter of the Tar Creek Superfund site. Residents live among mountains of mine tailings known as chat. Heavy metal poisoning is endemic in the area. With fits and starts, things do begin to get done about it, but only very slowly. To add insult to injury, Picher was struck by an EF-4 tornado on May 10th, 2008. The residents are finally suing over the long in coming buyout plan. Shockingly, the buyout plan was put into place with urgency not because of the lead, zinc, and cadmium poisoning, but because the mines are in danger of caving in. There is still word on when the mountains of debris will be removed, or the acid mine drainage stopped. Despite attempts to prevent further contamination in the 1980s and 90s, the waste is still poisoning local creeks and wildlife.

By all accounts, Chicago Bears tailback Matt Forte is working hard to return to the field after suffering a second-degree sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his right knee. He received a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection Tuesday morning and, speaking to reporters Tuesday night, he said: "I want to hurry up and get back and hopefully I'm 100 percent when I get back."
I'd like for our Have at It debate this week to center around that final sentiment. We all know that Forte is playing out the final year of his rookie contract, one that is paying him $600,000 this season. The Bears appear intent on using their franchise tag on him this winter, one that would pay him about $7.7 million in 2012 but limit his access to a market-level multiyear contract. And we all know that NFL players are expected to return from injuries long before they are fully 100 percent. As the saying goes, you can't make the club in a tub.
So my question is this: To what extent, if any, should Forte protect himself from returning in a vulnerable position, one that could presumably put his long-term health (or value) at risk for the benefit of a team that he believes has undervalued him in contract negotiations? Would a slow or delayed return serve as a nuanced reminder to the Bears of his value to their offense?
I'm sure many fans want to see Forte back as soon as possible, and they won't spend much time worrying about the millions of dollars he might sacrifice if he re-injures the knee or lowers his value with sub-par injury-related performances. But you might also want to consider how a few former players, now ESPN analysts, think on this subject.
Ross Tucker, an NFL offensive linemen for five years, wrote that Forte shouldn't step back on the field until he is "completely healthy." Tucker added: "Yes, football is a team sport and Forte probably wants to be out there battling for a playoff berth with his teammates. However, it is an individual profession, and every player needs to realize he is essentially an independent contractor and his corporation is himself. That's especially true for someone playing a fungible position like running back on a rookie contract the way Forte is."
Meanwhile, ex-receiver Cris Carter said this week on ESPN Radio that "all reality" should have set in for Forte when he took a helmet to his knee. Added Carter: "All we can take from the NFL is money and memories, the two M's. I tell the kids, get as much of them as you can get."
Putting himself in Forte's shoes, Carter said: "He's already got a torn MCL. Now what else do I need to do, coach? What else do I need to do, franchise? Now I have to look out for me. Every player is in business for himself. It's Cris Carter, Inc. I'm going to try to help the [team], but at the end of the day, it's about me and my family and being able to provide for them, not today, but until they die."
So what should Forte do? A sprained MCL can take anywhere from two to six weeks to heal. Should he hurry back as soon as possible to help a franchise that would discard him the moment an injury left him unproductive? Or should he protect his future, allow the knee to heal fully and then regroup this winter?
Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below. As always, I'll publish a representative sample, along with my own thoughts, by the end of the week. Have at It.

Banking and financial services in the digital age
How banking and financial services can turn digital disruption into a tangible opportunity
While most financial services institutions are investing in front-end technology to engage with customers, many fail to generate the expected impact by neglecting to holistically address how their middle and back office support the front office and the customer experience. There's a better way.
Today, large and complex firms can benefit from a different approach. Lean Digital utilizes agile Lean principles, and designs "from the customer backwards" - from front to middle to back office - to drive the most effective digital choices and navigate the complexity of legacy operations.

Cooler, calmer weather aids Arizona firefighters
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- Firefighters took advantage of cooler, calmer weather Friday to get an upper hand on a blaze burning in a scenic Arizona canyon as Memorial Day travelers were forced to alter their plans because of the fire.
Hotshot crews marched along a winding highway that is a key front in their effort and set fire to the ground to rob the wildfire of fuel and keep it from crossing the road. Helicopters dropped explosive chemicals in the steepest parts of the canyon that firefighters can't reach. Crews were also busy widening a line that would keep the fire from burning toward residential areas.
The human-caused Slide Fire started Tuesday and by Friday had burned more than 11.5 square miles in and around Oak Creek Canyon, a scenic recreation zone along the highway between Sedona and Flagstaff that normally would be filled with tourists as Memorial Day approaches.
Slide Rock State Park is among the destinations that are closed. It is one of the most-visited tourist spots in Arizona.

Despite its somewhat ominous name, EEVL is an exceptional guide to engineering, mathematics and computing resources on the web.
I've written before about the value of non-commercial web directories. One of the directories I mentioned in a previous SearchDay article was the Resource Discovery Network (RDN). The RDN project is actually made up of individual subject gateways.
One of these gateway is called EEVL: The Internet Guide to Engineering, Mathematics, and Computing, an essential resource for those of you who do research or have an interest in these subjects.
EEVL (pronounced "EVIL" and formerly known as the Edinburgh Engineering Virtual Library) is built by U.K. based librarians and information professionals who review and annotate each entry in the directory. Advertising is not accepted.
Under the leadership of Roddy McLeod, a librarian at Heriott-Watt University, this well designed, up-to-date, and highly useful directory/database has just cataloged its 10,000 record. When not working on this and other projects McLeod is the compiler of the monthly Internet Resources Newsletter. Both EEVL and the newsletter are available for free.
What will you find at EEVL? I could write for several pages about what is available and barely scratch the surface. The best way to see what's there is to visit and look around on your own. Here are a few highlights.
- Keyword search the entire database, limit your search to a specific subject area (engineering, math, computing), search only "key sites" (what EEVL considers the top 20% of Sites) or browse by subject area.
- An impressive "Advanced Interface" offers additional limits (subjects, location, resource types).
- Searching under the "Web Sites" tab offers an option to search the full-text of sites included in the directory. This is an example of a focused or targeted crawler. You can search all sites in the directory or by subject (engineering, math, computer science).
- Each "Full" record contains a description, keywords (to enhance retrieval). Records also contain subject heading to easily find related sites.
- Records can be output in XML.
- Links point to news resources in the engineering, mathematics, and computing world.
- A full-text search engine provides access to over 150 engineering e-journals.
- Detailed tutorials are available, geared at different groups of searchers.
- The What's New page is perfect for developing your own collection of useful content.
In summary, EEVL is an exceptional, very easy to use guide to high quality engineering, mathematics and computing information on the web.

The Dolphins will fill Burnett's roster spot, but the question is when that will get done.
There's a possibility this could be the end of the line for Burnett, who first entered the NFL with the old Cleveland Browns back in 1990.
Burnett has won a Super Bowl title — with the Baltimore Ravens in the 2000 season — and he indicated earlier this season he probably would retire after the season.
In other news:
-- Quarterback Jay Fiedler continues to be limited in practice and there's no guarantee he'll be able to play Monday night against the Eagles.
If he can't go, of course, his place would be taken by backup Brian Griese.
-- It looks like defensive tackle Tim Bowens will be back in the lineup after missing the New England game because of a calf injury.

The summary below is from the full report titled "A Comparison of Brand-Name Drug Prices between Canadian-Based Internet Pharmacies and Major U.S. Drug Chain Pharmacies." It is in the 20 September 2005 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 143, pages 397-403). The authors are B.S. Quon, R. Firszt, and M.J. Eisenberg.
The costs of prescription drugs present a problem for many Americans. The prices of prescription drugs tend to be higher in the United States than in some other countries. Consequently, many Americans purchase prescription drugs from Canadian pharmacies through the Internet. However, no study has systematically quantified the amount of savings that Americans can achieve by purchasing prescription drugs in this manner.
The researchers wanted to compare Canadian and American pharmacy retail Internet prices of major brand-name prescription drugs.
12 highly rated Canadian Internet pharmacies and 3 major American pharmacy chains that sold prescription drugs through the Internet.
On December 4, 2004, the researchers collected information on the prices that each pharmacy charged for 44 common brand-name prescription drugs. They converted all prices to costs per year.
Forty-one of the 44 drugs studied were less expensive at Canadian pharmacies than at American pharmacies. All 3 drugs that were more expensive in Canada were drugs for erectile dysfunction (impotence). The researchers estimated that Americans can save approximately 24% if they purchase their prescription drugs from Canada. The drugs that had the largest yearly savings were Zyprexa (olanzapine, Eli Lilly, Indianapolis, Indiana; $1159 U.S. savings per year), Actos (pioglitazone, Eli Lilly; $853 U.S. savings per year), and Nexium (esomeprazole, AstraZeneca, Wilmington, Delaware; $772 U.S. savings per year). The researchers did not include shipping fees. The maximum shipping fees were $60 U.S. per year.
These findings were from December 2004. Savings might vary over time with changes in supply and demand.
Americans can save money by purchasing prescription drugs from Canadian Internet pharmacies.

Marcus Mariota showed signs that he was not able run as he has all season with the minus three yards of rushing all resulting from the three sacks. Oregon's rushing for the game so far is just 10 yards as Thomas Tyner had 15 yards rushing while De'Anthony Thomas added 11 and Byron Marshall had seven.
Oregon scored first when Mariota hit Thomas with an eight yard reception for score. The Ducks followed that up with a 31-yard Matt Wogan field goal. Utah then got on the scoreboard when Ute quarterback hit tight end Jake Murphy on a 34-yard scoring play.
The Ducks then turned around with a 45-second scoring drive culminated by another TD pass from Mariota to Josh Huff to make the score 17-7 following the successful point after.
Lucky Radley is the leading rusher for the game with 31 net yards.
Schultz is 7-for-14 for 89 yards, the TD pass to Murphy and one interception by Oregon's Terrance Mitchell.

Even though the NFL lockout is still going on, that is no reason for us not to speculate about the upcoming fantasy football season.
Everyone knows running backs are the most desired players in fantasy football; in most of this year's projections, the top four players overall are running backs.
But who is No. 1 this year?
The consensus as of now seems to be Adrian Peterson, who seems to be No. 1 or No. 2 every year. Last year it was Texans RB Arian Foster, who finished as the top back, and of course Titans RB Chris Johnson was tops two years ago after his record-breaking season.
I have my opinion on the matter of who should be No. 1, but of course that doesn't mean it's right. Please feel free to discuss and give your opinion on who the top backs are for this upcoming fantasy season.

Creating Plant Containers Fit for Prime Time
For years I've tried to emulate the lush, overstuffed flower containers that are a staple of home magazines and TV design shows. You know, those pots displayed on decks and patios with flawless plants spilling over the sides, no bloom or leaf out of place.
I'll probably never match those containers. They often are one-time creations put together by professionals for a show or photo shoot, using perfect plants grown under ideal greenhouse conditions. They've never have to contend with drought, bugs or dead blooms. It's the horticultural equivalent of the luscious but sometimes inedible meals depicted in food magazines, where food stylists use mashed potatoes to stand in for ice cream and coat roasted turkeys with motor oil to give them just the right color.
This year, though, I have nudged closer to my goal. It turns out there are tricks to making containers look good and I'm starting to master them.
Container gardening is a bit like creating your own miniature world, as you would in an aquarium or terrarium. You are compressing into a few square feet a tiny version of a garden, allowing you to better control the variables than you can in your yard.
If a container is getting too much sun, you can move it to a shadier spot. Watering or fertilizing a container is vastly easier than a flower bed. And with yards shrinking or, for apartment dwells, nonexistent, containers may be the only way some people can garden.
The first thing to consider is container size. For years I limped along with smallish pots I picked up at a discount store. While they were fine early in the season, when the plants are small, they can turn into trouble in the heat of mid to late summer, when the then-mature plants need more moisture. Since I garden at a weekend house my plants have to survive four or five days without being watered. The small pots just don't hold enough moisture-retaining soil and sometimes my plants wilted and even died.
This year I've been using much larger pots, the biggest of which is about 2 ½ feet tall and the same distance wide. They hold vastly more soil.
The next trick is what you put in the pot. This year I'm using a commercial potting soil that comes with slow-release fertilizer mixed in. That means I won't need to add fertilizer for most or all of the growing season.
Third, before I planted the pots I mixed into the soil special gel-like polymer beads that suck up and retain water, and later release it when the soil dries out. I also put a saucer beneath the smaller of my containers, which catches rain and allows the soil to soak it up once it loses moisture.
Then come the plants. The past few years the plant industry has been pushing the concept of using just one type of plant in a container, but I find this monoculture kind of dull. Plus, since most flowering plants go through ebbs and flows of putting out blooms, if this one plant is at the low point of its bloom cycle there won't be much to look at.
And while flowering plants such as calibrachoa, verbena and old-fashioned petunias are good choices, I also like to mix in a few plants that are grown for their showy leaves, such as begonias, coleus, cannas and elephant ears. These plants always look sharp because the leaves, unlike flowers, generally don't fall off and need to regenerate.
But be careful about mixing too many types of plants, or you can end up with a clashing mess. I think four or five varieties are about the limit. I also like to repeat the same mixture in a group of containers that I place together on my deck, providing a bit more uniformity.
Next comes maintenance. While I have done all I can to ensure my plants get enough moisture in my absence, frequently watering can be necessary, even more than once a day in some climates. Fortunately, that's not needed in my upstate New York yard, where we tend to have adequate rain.
But farther south, at the Wave Hill public garden in the Bronx, the professional gardeners are so careful about their creative container plantings that they check the soil moisture three times daily. Charles Day, who gives gardening workshops at Wave Hill, told me the staff uses the "two-finger test." "If when you bring the fingers out you have moist particles attached, the soil is moist," he told me. "If it feels like a dried-out sponge it needs water."
Journal Community
Another key part of container upkeep involves giving the plants periodic haircuts. Since they keep growing throughout the summer, and at differing rates, that handsome arrangement you created in May could look like a jungle come August. Or one plant in a container may grow way out of proportion to the others. I've found that's the case with coleus, which can turn into small trees if you don't trim the tops off frequently.
Mr. Day says it's a good idea to trim the plants a bit right as you put them into a container. That pushes them to establish strong roots and eliminates "leggy" branches. As the growing season advances the plants may need further trims every two or three weeks, and, near the end of the season, as much as every week, he says.
While snipping away at plants you've spent good money on can be painful, I've found that the obvious haircut marks disappear in a few days as the plants grow back.

Intrexon has agreed to work with Johnson & Johnson Innovation and J&J Consumer & Personal Products Worldwide through a R&D collaboration aimed at creating new skin and hair care products.
"By combining Intrexon's synthetic biology approaches with the capabilities at Johnson & Johnson, we believe that there are multiple areas for new product exploration," said Randal J. Kirk, chairman and CEO of Intrexon.
Although Intrexon has developed several core technologies, company officials referred to its UltraVector® platform in the J&J deal. Intrexon describes UltraVector as an operating system that involves DNA construction technologies, cellular and protein engineering, computational models and statistical methods.
"[The platform can] facilitate the rapid design, testing, and production of complex biological systems," explained a company spokesperson. "In addition to hosting all of the design, build and testing capabilities within one cohesive platform, UltraVector learns by amassing a wealth of data over iterative experiments in this process. The platform is also capable of incorporating supplementary technologies, which can be selectively utilized depending on the desired biofunction."

Dr. Read is one of a kind! He's sweet, kind and very knowledgeable. His staff is great too.
Dr. Read is absolutely wonderful, I just love him. He will be delivering my second baby here soon. He has such amazing talent and Alex is just so pleasant to deal with! They both take the time and genuinely care about your concerns. I wish all the other staff was just as friendly/helpful but Dr Read and Alex are the reasons I continue to go here.
Dr. Read is a wonderful, considerate gentleman. I was a patient years ago and recently found him again. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
This doctor saved my life as an infant & now he's my OBGYN & will be delivering my babies later on in life! Such a sweet man that cares for his patients.
Dr Read and staff are amazing! Little bit of a wait sometimes but he's busy delivering babies ALL of the time so I don't mind it at all. This team is well worth the wait.
I went to Dr Read for a VBAC and never once did I think he wasnt supportive of it. He even let me schedule my c-section at 41 weeks and 1 day and asked if i was comfortable with that or wanted to wait. He never once brought up scheduling a c-section, I did. Unfortunately he wasn't on call when I went into labor but did call and check on me numerous times and even though he wasn't there I still got my VBAC with Dr Kutzler, one of the other doctors from Texas Health Care. I couldn't have asked for better care all the way around.
Dr. Read is the best doctor I could ever hope for, and that's after he has delivered 3 kids for me and my husband.
I have been to numerous OBGYNs in my 4 years of moving to Texas. Each Dr told me I would never have kids. It wasn't until I found out that I was EXPECTING that I met Dr.Read. From my first appointment, to my daughter's healthy delivery, to today; Dr.Read and his staff have been awesome. Granted, you may spend a little time in the waiting area and exam room to see him, but that happens at any doctors office that is as awesome as Dr.Read. I love his nurses and they all know me by name. I would recommend him to anyone.
I waited a long time for a hysterectomy. upon moving to the keller area, I scheduled an appt. with Dr. Read. Dr. Read and staff put my mind at ease by explaining the procedure and my difficulties. I literally was up and about in no time. I returned a couple of times for follow-up. Wish I would have had a Dr. Read 20 years ago.
My son is still messed up because of the neglect of my difficult pregnancy and after I asked him/begged him numerous times to help because I knew something was wrong. My son will never be normal and Dr. Read gets to continue living his life neurologically intact while my son does not.
Dr. Read is a compassionate doctor. He spends as much time as necessary to understand and for you to fully understand your diagnosis.
This isnt my first child but it is my first that Dr.Read will be delivering. Most appointments take forever to be seen, you wait in the room forever to see anyone and then some more time to see the doctor. I saw him with 30 min of even being in the buliding. All of the staff from the front desk, to the RN's to the doctor were amazing. Nice, caring, attentive and made sure that you left the office feeling that you got your needs met.I would refer him to any and everyone!
Misdiagnosed the problem, stated that he is very busy with deliveries in the hospital in the middle of the appointment, kept checking his pager and asking the nurse if it is time to go and deliver. I got a feeling that he totally did not care about me or the problem. After he left and went to see the patient in the room next to me, I heard him giggling with the nurse in the hallway. Very terrible, uncaring and unprofessional.
I've been going to Dr.Read since I was 16, I am now 29. Him and his staff have always made me feel comfortable during exams and discussing any problems I may have. He makes it feel as though your just talking to a friend. I also saw him throughout my two pregnancies and had no complaints.
The staff is very friendly and enjoyable, and there was no problems with setting up appointments to fit my schedule. The only times that the wait to see the Dr. was long was when he was doing deliveries. He even stayed late waiting for me when I was running late from another Dr. appointment. Dr. Read takes minimal vacations and he tries his best to be there for each of his deliveries. He made me feel at ease with any questions or concerns that I may have had. He also followed my birth plan, and he did not try to move things along until I was in my 38th week (We ended up inducing at the end of my 41st week). I will be returning to Dr. Read for my next birth, and I highly recomend him.

Star Wars Legacy Era Campaign Guide
A hundred years after the Battle of Yavin, the New Republic is ash, crushed by a resurgent Galactic Empire and it's Sith allies-turned-usurpers. Darth Krayt sits upon the throne, maintaining his power by forsaking the Rule of Two and anointing a half-dozen Sith Lords. A ragtag fleet of Republic ships thwarts his will, as does the Roan Fel, the deposed emperor who resists the Sith from the Imperial home world of Bastion.
Jedi Academy Training Manual
The Jedi Academy Training Manual looks to be the definitive sourcebook for Jedi and Force-using characters in the Star Wars: Saga Edition Role-Playing Game, introducing new force powers, talents, lightsaber forms, rules for holocrons, variant lightsaber crystals, alternative Force traditions, monstrous opponents and exotic locals.
Game Day: The Weird Pulp Campaign
After a successful playtest of Savage Worlds, my gaming group -- the Blackrazor Guild -- decided to launch a short-to-mid-range Weird Pulp campaign. The campaign began in early Spring 2014, and we're expecting it to run through at least Summer 2014.
Endless Dungeons
Dungeons are the cornerstone of the fantasy RPGs. Even as games become more story-driven, even when we give up slaying the dragon in exchange for founding a kingdom, the lure of the dungeons is still there. This page is dedicated to dungeons in all their impossible glory.
Star Wars Rebellion Era Campaign Guide
The Rebellion Era is one of Star Wars most iconic settings. Paradoxically, this can make it one of the hardest to write a campaign guide for. Much of the setting was covered in the Star Wars: Saga Edition core rule book or covered in supplements like Threats of the Galaxy and Scum and Villainy. The Rebellion Era Campaign Guide addresses this by doing its best to document the unexplored corners of that galaxy, far, far away.

Game Day: Lunchtime Numenera
My lunchtime campaign has transitioned from Dragon Age to Numenera. Two of us backed it in the Kickstarter, and the others were sufficiently intrigued to want to playtest the game.
2014: A Year of Transitions
This month's RPG Blog Carnival topic is "Transitions", and it's particularly appropriate for my group in 2014.
One of our players just took a job out of state and another welcomed his third child into the world. We've just started a Savage Worlds playtest, which might lead to our first non-d20 campaign ... ever. Dungeons & Drgaons 5th Edition is looming over August, and I expect we'll at least do a playtest once it's released.
Scifi, Super Power Companions Available for Savage Worlds
The long-awaited Science Fiction Companion for Savage Worlds and an updated version of the Superpowers Companion are now available for purchase as PDFs, and pre-order for the print editions.
Game Day: Return to Weird Pulp
I've wanted to run a pulp weird RPG campaign ever since Chaosium announced their ill-fated Pulp Cthulhu: Reckless Adventures in the 1930s source book back around 2000. It was supposed to be a d20-statted sourcebook for Wizards of the Coast's Call of Cthulhu d20, and it seemed like a natural fit for my Dungeons & Dragons and Call of Cthulhu loving group.
