Information About Alternative Field Education
Many ATS students are ordained ministers and have already had a significant amount of ministry experience. Therefore, ATS has developed the Alternate Field Education Program. Alternative Field Ed meets the ATS requirement for Field Education, and affords the experienced student an opportunity to take a thorough look at his / her journey thus far. Moreover, with the guidance of a more experienced mentor, the student may prayerfully seek God's further guidance for his / her future.
Eligibility for Alternative Field Ed is based on the number of years in ministry, the type of ministry involvement, and future ministry goals. Each request to conduct Alternative Field Ed is handled individually.
- Allows Intern to complete Field Ed with minimum time commitment.
- Allows for targeted development, based on ministry, life events and future goals.
Possible Weaknesses:
- Direct, hands-on, mentored ministry component is not present.
- Mentoring meetings may be less productive if meetings are not intentionally planned.
- Mentor may not be fully aware of Intern's context.
- Information about Intern's church and ministry is largely based on Intern's bias, not Mentor's objectivity.
Keep In Mind:
- Intern should have a list of topics / issues to address with Mentor.
- Intern should try to have Mentor observe him / her in ministry, and vice versa.
- Be diligent in securing a suitable Alternative Internship site.
- Be diligent in finding a Mentor, and nurture that relationship as much as possible.
- At least 3 weeks before the semester begins, meet with Louis Carlo to discuss the possibility of conducting an Alternative Field Ed, and receive his approval to do so.
- Submit "Internship Description." (See "Downloads," below.)
- Attend the Initial Intern / Mentor meeting during the 1st semester of Field Ed.
- Attend 1 Roundtable per semester of Field Ed.
- Establish a schedule with Mentor to conduct 6 Leadership Development Sessions.
- Complete the requirements prescribed by the Alternative Field Ed Contract.
- Prepare and submit all required final evaluations, (including Written Exit Interview, Final Reports and Professional Dispositions Assessment).
- Develop an ethos of mentoring, and adopt a Biblical model of leadership development.
- Identify and practice the tools of interpersonal relationships and ministry.
- Endeavor to pursue a life of constant ministry enrichment, seeking to develop in character, spiritual maturity, knowledge and skill.
As you prepare to begin your Alternative Field Ed experience at ATS, note that you must do two (2) things:
- Make an appointment with Louis Carlo to have your Internship approved.
- Then, complete the Alternative Field Ed Contract after thoughtful prayer and discussion with your Mentor.
The Alternative Field Ed Contract should be submitted (via email or mail) as soon as possible, and preferably prior to the start of the 1st semester of the Internship experience.
- Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Mail: ATS Field Education, 350 N. Highland Ave, Nyack, NY 10960

Owasso Independent School District v. Falvo
The Office of the Solicitor General at the Department of Justice recently filed a brief with the United States Supreme Court on behalf of the United States in OWASSO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. I-011 v. FALVO, No. 00-1073. The Office of the Solicitor General submitted the brief as amicus curiae, supporting the petitioners (the Owasso School District). The issue before the Court in this case is whether allowing students to grade each other's homework and tests as their teacher goes over the correct answers aloud in class violates the prohibition in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. 1232g, against the release, without parental consent, of students' "education records." The brief sets forth the position of the United States on this issue.
The Court is expected to rule on this case by June 2002. Because the Court may address the application of FERPA to student work more broadly beyond the education practice at issue in the case, the Department of Education will review the Court's ruling before determining whether further guidance or regulations are needed.

Ostrich Egg Boulder
Take the road that runs along the base of Mt Everest. Just before you reach the High Ropes structure on the right you will see the Ostrich Egg just off the road on the left. This distinctive, oval boulder has a flat, overhanging, red face on the right as you view it from the road. You can park 20 metres from it! The first three routes described below are on the side facing the road. The next three are on the overhanging, red face and the rest are around the back of the boulder.
1. Unknown (20) 5D ** FA: Unknown Follow the bolts up the blunt arête on the left-hand side of the boulder as you look at it from the road. 2. Eggstacy (16) 5D ** FA: Cathy O'Dowd (1993). Bolted by Clive Curson. Start near the middle of the east face. Climb straight up to a prominent flake or horn. Pass it on the left and then head right for the chains at the top of the next route. 3. Shells (13) 5D *** FA: Fran Botha (1993) Start off a small boulder at the right-hand side of the face. Climb up through the big scoop above. 4. Cholesterol Bomb (23) 6D *** FA: Peter Lazarus (1993) Climb the overhanging jagged arête on the left of the flat, overhanging, orange face on the NW side of the boulder. Pity this climb is not 20 metres longer! 5. Just Yolking (26+) 6D *** FA: Gilles Benier (1994). Bolted by Grant Murray. Climb the line of bolts near the centre of the overhanging face. Some of the holds near the top have broken off and the route may now be significantly more difficult. 6. Green Eggs and Ham (23) 6D ** FA: Grant Murray (1994) Climb the line of bolts towards the right-hand side of the overhanging face. 7. Sunny Side Up (19) 5D ** FA: Mike Cartwright (1993) Start just to the right of the slight corner at the right-hand edge of the overhanging face and climb straight up. Two hard moves off the ground lead to easier climbing. Note: The anchors are badly located over the top of the climb and cause severe rope-wear when lowering. To avoid this, use long slings on the anchors when top-roping and then arrange the rope so that the last climber can abseil off. 8. Over Easy (18) 5D *** FA: Grant Murray (1993) Start just to the right of the previous route. Step up off the block and climb the steep face by starting up the stem of the Y-shaped crack line. Move up the left-hand crack line at the fork and continue up to the chains. This line uses the anchors at the top of the previous route - see note above. 9. Omelette (20) 5D ** FA: Mike Cartwright (1993) Start to the right of the previous route and climb up just left of a sort of rounded arête. 10. Young Chicks (23) 5D * FA: Peter Lazarus (1993) Start just right of the previous route and grovel up the rounded arête.

Steinberg Cubase - From ASCII on Ataris to ASIO & Apples
Steinberg Cubase - From ASCII on Ataris to ASIO & Apples
Steinberg History - The Early Days
The 90's saw Cubase develop into the DAW we all recognise today, Apple Mac compatibility, audio editing from Wavelab and in 1996 the development of the VST standard. The VST plugin format and Steinberg's ASIO drivers have become familiar with PC based musicians/engineers of all stripes and not just Cubase users. Allowing anyone to turn their humble home computer into a studio powerhouse with low latency, rock solid performance and a huge range of instruments at their fingertips. There's been no shortage of great VST instruments and effects coming from Steinberg themselves, such as the Halion sampler, The Grand piano.
In 2005 Steinberg joined forces with Yamaha and have since added highly acclaimed hardware to their product range. Now however big your studio is or whatever kind of music you produce Steinberg can deliver a solution for you, Mac or PC, audio mastering or MIDI, software and hardware. That's why Steinberg is the choice of a diverse range of musicians/composers/engineers/producers such as Hans Zimmer, Justice, Kraftwerk, Meshuggah, Bernard Sumner (New Order, Joy Division), Mogwai & Amon Tobin.
Which Version Of Cubase Should You Choose?An important question and one that will vary depending what you plan on doing. Cubase 7 contains the full feature set and will cover anything from orchestral scoring to beat programming, however if you don't need certain advanced compositional features then Cubase Artist 7 might be for you and finally Elements presents a compelling option for those just starting out.
We'll assume no prior knowledge of computer music to begin with so if you want to find out about more advanced options and features then skip to the section that best describes just what you do. So starting off...
- You will want to check whether your computer has the power to do everything you want it to. Steinberg have produced a great guide which breaks down the complicated terminology and makes plain everything you need to consider before getting started.
- Be realistic about what you want to achieve, it's very tempting to get a huge interface, full keyboard and orchestral sampler right off the bat. However there's a lot to take in when you're starting out with computer music. Better to start small and really get to know your gear before expanding.
- Final rule is simple, have fun. Get that right and you'll be a master in no time.
Cubase For Guitarists
|The Details
|Which Version Of Cubase?
|Guitarist Package
|Who's Using It?
|What You Need
Cubase Elements 7
With VST Amp Rack and Amp Simulator plugins Elements is great for guitarists. If you're largely producing solo compositions then you don't need unlimited audio tracks or extensive MIDI plugins. But Elements does have the same core audio engine as it's big brothers and share's the vast majority of audio effects. Plus there's HalionSonic SE for sampled accompaniment, Prologue for synth sounds and Groove Agent One for rhythms. Band in a box.
Zoom G2Nu & Cubase Artist bundle
You might want to try our Zoom G2Nu & Cubase Artist bundle. That's a more feature rich version of Cubase plus a guitar pedal/USB audio interface.
Metal Masters Meshuggah
"We have been working with Steinberg products since we first started to use computers in our working process. It is with great pleasure and awesomeness that Meshuggah is cooperating with Steinberg."
|Upgrades Going Forward
| Cubase Elements To Artist Upgrade - Once you're ready to make the jump to a more full featured DAW
Steinberg CI1 USB Audio Interface and Free Headphones - Elements will work with many onboard sound cards but an ASIO interface is almost a necessity for proper use. Also handy if you need to add some mic inputs and studio headphones to your setup.
Cubase For Electronic Music Producers
|The Details
|Which Version Of Cubase?
|Electronic Music Package
|Who's Using It?
|What You Need
Cubase Artist 7
Artist 7 shares the vast majority of effects and instruments with the full Cubase 7. So if you need a heap of sounds right out the box then Artist 7 is perfect.
Steinberg UR-22 & Cubase Artist 7 Bundle
Why not combine Artist with the superb UR-22 USB Audio Interface for a saving. Plus low latency, Audio/MIDI I/O and great sound quality are all very important if you're working in the box.
London Elektricity
"Cubase has always been my weapon of choice ever since my Atari 1040ST."
"With Cubase it's all about workflow. It's great for working with MIDI and audio, and it gives me exactly what I need. There are some surprises in there too, like LoopMash and the Pitch Correct plug-in — they can be a lot of fun to use. Sidechaining is great in Cubase now and is very easy on processor. WaveLab is incredible. I'm probably only using about 10% of what it can do, and am still learning. I would love to have lessons on WaveLab."
|Upgrades Going Forward
| Cubase Artist To Cubase 7 Upgrade - Once you've got tracks up to a certain standard then the full Cubase can provide professional polish. With loads of arrangement, mixer & workflow enhancements, pro plugins as well as audio tuning/manipulation Cubase 7 is the true studio inside your computer.
Nektar Panorama P4 Controller - Calling it a MIDI controller is doing the P4 a disservice. While you certainly can play VST instruments and merrily tweak their settings the integration goes much deeper. It's more like turning Cubase into a hands on, hardware studio.
The True Professional
|The Details
|Which Version Of Cubase?
|Professional Package
|Who's Using It?
|What You Need
Cubase 7
If it's truly professional results in any scenario that you're after then Cubase 7 is the one. Editing, take comping, tuning, mixing, scoring, VSTi's, samples and well, everything you need.
Steinberg MR816 X & Cubase 7 Bundle
Get 8 mic inputs, DSP processing and studio quality monitoring options on top of a pro DAW, save money while you're at it too. The MR816X has picked up rave reviews for it's sound quality. A studio setup without compromise.
Hans Zimmer - Oscar & Grammy winning composer. You might know him from such films as Inception, The Lion King & The Dark Knight
"I was amazed by how much I was throwing at Cubase and it never winced, never seized up, never faltered. It's always an extreme thing, and although I honestly can't recall how many audio tracks were being used, remember that everything we do is in 5.1 so that quickly adds tracks, plus there are 300–400 MIDI tracks going at the same time. We also tried to keep everything virtual on this movie up until the very end."
|Upgrades Going Forward
| So you've got Cubase and it's not so much a question of what can it do but where do you want to go with it?
Get a Sampler/MIDI Controller/Audio Interface/Synth and get all orchestral with a Yamaha MOX6 61 Key Synth + free gigbag
Maybe you've got the MR816X bundle above and need to add a pro selection of mics to track your band.
But hey if you fancy staying digital and in the box the Steinberg can give you entire orchestras and grand pianos!
Into The Future with iPad
Always with an eye on the horizon Steinberg have produced Cubasis, a fully functioning DAW for the iPad. Below you can see a list of features similar to many traditional DAWs and above listen to just what's possible using on the iPad.
Unlimited audio and MIDI tracks (depending on the device used)
Micrologue virtual analog synthesizer
Over 85 virtual instrument sounds based on HALion Sonic
Mixer with more than 12 effect processors (insert and send effects)
Over 280 MIDI and audio loops
Virtual keyboard and virtual drum pads
Sample Editor and Key Editor
Export to Cubase, Dropbox, SoundCloud, AudioCopy & email
MIDI clock and thru support
Core Audio and Core MIDI compatible hardware supported
Sequence other Core MIDI apps (MIDI recording only) and run Cubasis simultaneously with background audio plus realtime audio streaming via Audiobus
Import audio from your iTunes music library or using iTunes filesharing, use AudioPaste or set up a Wi-Fi server in Cubasis
If you really want to create professional sounds like Allen Morgan then you'll want the right interface and accessories. Take a look at the list below for great iPad interfaces.

Try out These Solutions for Pharmacist!!
Pharmacists can learn how to meet their challenges head on with this ebook
Pharmacy is an integral part of healthcare, and, just like other disciplines of healthcare, it also poses certain billing challenges that may often be difficult to manage internally. Moreover, because certain drugs are excluded from insurance coverage and only a few injections and adjuvant therapies allowed, it may require experts to judge the efficacy either including or excluding the drugs during billing.
To complicate matters further, pharmacy-related reimbursements require multiple levels of data handling and follow-ups as in most cases. Although it is a separate set of medical service and provided from a separate facility, claims are prepared and submitted together by hospitals or nursing homes – either because they come later in the care chain or because it forms a small part of the care services hospitals provide. This joint-claim preparation and submission leads to greater potential for inaccurate Data handling and denied claims.
And, even though pharmacy claims are distinct from hospital claims, they are still subject to the same HIPAA rules – which may be difficult to cope with during times of resubmission for being non-compliant with privacy or security norms.
These inherent challenges require a series of admin and data related activities, starting from verification, through claim preparation to submission, to be handled with accuracy.
Outsourcing Billing to MBC
MBC's pharmacy medical billing and coding services would not just help you accurately discern which type of treatment comes under injectables or adjuvant therapies but also take care of the entire range of your admin activities from claim preparation thorough submission to post-submission follow-ups and audits in case of over payment by the insurer, improving your finances and leaving you with more time to spend on your core competency – pharmacy dispensing.

Ahhh, the sweet smell of revenge.
Thread: god d*mn you Kouros
yesterday..i flew in to detroit....to see my parents for a few days.
during the flight, i had Cuiron on..
i got out in the Detroit airport...and walked into the duty free shop there...just to see what they have-----not much of interest. had pretty much the usual stuff....
my Cuiron had sort of wore off since i put it on in the morning....so i was wondering what to try. One of the women working there approached me with a bottle of Kouros...and said "would you like to try this?"
I WAS LIKE DRACULA SHOWN THE CROSS....i was like "nooo! no thanks!" and she said "it's very nice, Yves Saint Laurent"....and i backed away briskly....
anyway...she put the bottle down, and left me alone....i walked around a bit more..and then saw that Kouros bottle sitting on the shelf...i started remembering all the great times i've had insulting Kouros on this forum, thinking of it as one of the worst scents ever, and looking at how bad the bottle is made (white, cheap plastic)
then i did the unthinkable. i sprayed some on my wrist.
the following 15 minutes were one of horror. there i was.....out in the passenger pick up area.....with this stinky Kouros all over my left hand and wrist.....it stank like some sort of a flowery fungus...i got picked up at the airport, by my father.....who said in the car: "you smell very old fashioned" and i just ignored that comment....
i gently wiped my wrist on whatever i could find....but nothing gets this stuff off.....NOTHING. washed my hands and still could smell it.
I hate Kouros......but most of all Kouros hates me!
Ahhh, the sweet smell of revenge.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
I couldn't get it off my leg, which is where I sprayed the tester to "be on the safe side." Even though I put my leg under the chair later that day, it just kept hitting me, so I tried to wash it off with soap and water, but that didn't do anything either. But I felt I had to try it, after reading the reviews. I'd like to smell the sprayer of a bottle again and also to spray it on a piece of acid-free paper, but I can't imagine actually spraying it on myself.

LOL, that is really funny dude. I think Kouros is an acquired taste; I feel like the dry-down is really nice and almost has a soapy musk freshness to it, but the initial blast can, and in fact, has been, many times, described an pungent. The initial blast kind of smells very musky, but not horrible. With that said, I will not share my Kouros story as follows:
OK, when I was younger I used to love to go to museums, obsessed with dinosaurs, way before I decided to become a lawyer. Well, I used to go to this museum in New Haven, Connecticut called the "Peabody Museum" and it is basically a rather decent size museum with a lot of dinosaurs, Egyptian artifacts, birds, etc... They have this one section where you can lift up these lids and smell different scents, for example they have pure musk to smell, that whale vomit stuff whose names escapes me not but I remember my dad telling me that it was from a whale, and assorted varieties of other natural, and quite funky, ingredients used in making perfumes. Well, fast forward to several months from now and a wonderful BN, Thaifighter, sent me a sample of Kouros in the mail, I remember receiving it in my office and spraying one spritz on my wrist and it brought me back to that time at the Peabody museum when, for the first time ever at approx. the age of 6-7 I first smelled something "interesting." I had a really vivid flashback, I was almost shaken up from it. In any event, if anyone ever goes to the Peabody Museum in New Haven, CT then go to that part where you can sniff raw ingredients used to make perfumes because one of them, oh yes, smells spot on and exactly like Kouros. I was amazed how the smell of Kouros took me back to those wonderful memories at that great museum. Thanks Kouros and Thaifighter.**
* I will also post this in a thread as maybe someone has had this experience before.

Kouros is a monster. It'll keep you in line if start thinking wrong.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
Your dad's "you smell old fashioned" extracted a "lol" over here. Could it be that you sprayed it on too thick?
I would say, "What hyperbole!" at this point were it not for the fact that I've ranted just as loudly about A*men.
I for one happen to LOVE Kouros, and have worn it ever since it came out years ago. Furthermore, it garners me oodles of compliments -- yes, oodles. Still, it a) DOES go on very, very strong and b) is an acquired taste (probably because of its copious civet). Whatever the case, I'll never be without a bottle for very long, I'll tell you that much.

This spring I was in London and went to a play. During the play, a character gets ill and vomits into a basin. The others scurry around and clean up, etc. Then one of them got the bright idea to spray some cologne to take away the smell. She said, "here's some Kouros" and sprayed and sprayed. Well, I was in the fifth row and could see that it really was a bottle of Kouros. And 30 seconds later the scent hit me... and kept hitting me all night. Whew! Now THERE's sillage!

OH it gets worse!
my father (bless the man!) has a cabinet full of dusty old fragrances......amongst them, Antaeus, Coty Musk, Kouros, Drakkar Noir, Iquitos....and all sorts of weird old stuff.
I was trying them all out earlier to see how they were....and the Kouros smells like MEAT!!! oh it has definitely gone bad.....really bad! LOL
the Antaeus smells good....as does the Iquitos....
but the Kouros has morphed into a meaty flowery fungus!
hmm... I'm interested in attracting carnivore wimmenz... maybe this will be a good alternative to bathing in steaks.

kouros is chuck norris bottled(it has a beard and will punch you in the face). Its ruff and gruff and wont take shit from anybody! ha ha...this one does not work for me either, i get a strong urinal cake plus musk and fecal notes that are just too much for me!

I love your description of the smell as a 'flowery fungus.'
I actually just bought a vintage mini of Kouros. Interested to see what it smells like.

Go ahead. Test the veracity of this (1960s I think) pre-computer generated masterpiece of self-referential sentences.
I spray kouros in my room when I want to demarcate my territory. Just like dogs and wolves do.

ALBUQUERQUE, NM (AP) - The effort to return the endangered Mexican gray wolf to the American Southwest has hit another stumbling block.
Federal and state wildlife officials confirm that a female wolf that was released into the wild in early May was found dead in late June in southwestern New Mexico.
The animal had been shot.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had hoped the wolf and her male partner would be able to establish a new pack in the Gila Wilderness. The male was recaptured several days after their release and it's believed the pair's pups did not survive, leaving the female to roam.
Top agency officials have long identified illegal shootings as 1 of the reintroduction program's biggest hurdles.
The agency has been trying since 1998 to establish a population of the wolves in New Mexico and Arizona.

Blade length: 7.50 in.Cutting edge length: 7.50 in.Total length: 12.00 in.Blade height (at heel): 1.90 in.Blade thickness (near bolster): 0.07 in.Item weight: 4.60 oz.Shipment weight: 7.4 oz.Blade: Stainless steel forge-welded on a "blue" steel coreHandle: Pakawood
Description: The gyuto is modeled after the French pattern chef's knife. Longer and slimmer than the santoku, it is well suited to preparation of meat and other general purpose tasks around the kitchen. The long blade is needed for the sawing motion required to cut meat and the slim profile keeps the weight low and the balance right.
Dojo Blue Steel knives are formed by forge-welding a core of high-carbon "blue" steel between two layers of stainless steel. The stainless steel sides have been "hammer finished" so as to decrease friction and suction that can cause foods to stick to the side of the knife. Blue steel is a complex steel noted for its ability to hold an exceedingly sharp, long-lasting edge. Because blue steel is a carbon steel, these knives must be dried after use to prevent rust or tarnish. The blades are tempered to Rc62 and will hold their edge considerably longer than any Western-made knife.
The Pakawood handles are made by compressing together very thin slices of wood which have been pressure treated with resin. This process results in a handle that is impervious to water and will hold up well to the demanding environment of a kitchen. For strength, the handles are riveted to the full length tang. Each blade comes razor sharp.

AntDaGamer discusses his feelings and opinions on the PlayStation 3.
What a well written article and the author speaks nothing but the truth. Everyone needs to read this.
There was nothing well written about that. It was just some angry fanboy rant. Like I honestly don't even know why he wrote that article. No-one doesn't even think the PS3 sucks...
@DarkBlood Pretty sure it's a 12 y/o boy.
It's a sony article... and it... it's positive?!
You can have fun with any of the current gen consoles just enjoy the games screw what platform it is on. If a game looks good I will want to play it reguardless of the platform. Personally if you can afford it whey not have all 3 consoles and never miss out on any game.
Who said it did?
The PlayStation 3 is awesome
I had three Xbox's. "HAD" I have 3 PS3's now.
We all have our opinions, good and bad.
It is best to be objective because we are all bias.
Point out both pros and cons between consoles.
Stick to what you like, if you have money to buy everything then do it if it pleases you.
Other than this all these opinionated pieces are pointless, be it good or bad based on the reader.
None of it matters, except for people to visit their site so they can group around and agree or disagree on something that doesn't really matter.
The article is trolling. And trolling HARD at that, don't read it. Its a huge waste of time.
BTW its trolling PlayStation. The title is majorly Sarcastic. You may think its "defending" PlayStation but its making fun of it. As I said ignore it.
It's still 2012 right? If not, how did I go to the past? Why is this article even here?
These opinion articles are getting annoying. PS3, 360, PC, Wii, and Wii U are all good. If they weren't they'd only be around for a year or two (I know Wii U just came out).
The PS3 doesn't suck.
The 360 doesn't suck.
The Wii U doesn't suck.
The Wii doesn't suck.
The PC doesn't suck.
The Vita doesn't suck.
The 3DS doesn't suck.
The PS2 didn't suck.
The Xbox didn't suck.
The GameCube didn't suck.
The PSP didn't suck.
The DS didn't suck.
The GBA SP didn't suck.
The GBA didn't suck.
The Gameboy Color didn't suck.
The Gameboy didn't suck.
The PS1 didn't suck.
The N64 didn't suck.
Only haters and trolls suck.
yeah, whats up, with saying the ps3 sucks... war sucks, and poverty sucks, and broken ps3 sucks... =D
I sometimes read N4G comments for laughs .....
Lets not forget that I don't have to pay $60 a year to play online and use Netflix. I'm still amazed that Microsoft actually raised the price of Live by $10 and Xbox fans took it with a grain of salt.
get a wiiu and have innovation and future of gaming on your side
The author really needs to go back over basic English before publishing anything else.
The PS3's exclusive lineup is just mediocre this year. Next year will be fantastic though, with The Last of Us, God of War Ascension, Beyond, and Sly 4.
Well it's infinitely better than just having one halo game the whole year.
Some tool came into my store last week. He sold a 360 to buy a PS3...which made me happy. ^_^ Two days later, he sold the PS3 back. Then, bought a 360. While he was doing it, his friend asked him why he even bought it in the first place. The guy said he didn't know and that it was a stupid mistake. His friend was like, "Well, nobody even has a PS3. Everyone owns a 360."
What the FRICK was he doing with his PS3 that he missed his 360 so much? Did he not figure out how to connect it to the internet? Or that you can put games into it?
Well, some people are just not very bright. It's obvious that customer of yours was one such individual.
There's no way I could trade my PS3 for a 360.
Would I get a 360 IN ADDITION? Sure. But if I had to choose only one, I know which system I'd pick. Fortunately, I already have it.
By the way, this article was crap. I couldn't even finish it because it was so bad.
I have a customer who is a die hard Xbox fan, and I have known him for years. I lean PS3 and I was telling him about the exclusives they have, and that he should get one. (I never told him to sell his 360, just get a ps3 along with it) and he finally one day bought it and I was so happy.
However 3 days later he asked if he could return it because he just didn't get into it... lol in 3 days???? Ugh. Real gamers play GAMES! NOT SYSTEMS!!!
Is N4G completely broken for anyone else?
Has been for a couple years now ;)
For a core/hardore AAA gamer ps3 has been the best console this gen. Wii no new core AAA IP's since ??(Must buy a wiiU), 360 no new core IP's(Must wait for 720 since 2007?), ps3 - The last of US, Beyond(Plus next gen coming.)
Truth I speak. Unless I am proved wrong?
I hope sony dominates MS next gen I tend to like companies that support new games that are not always shooters.
But atleast 2/3 companies have free multi-player like pc.
Nobody said it sucked...what was the point of this again?
the author sucks because he is not using his spare time wisely.
now who on earth said the PS3 sucked in the 1st place ? no Ps3 means console gaming f sucks. PERIOD
neither the ps3 or 360 suck, they have just been on the market far, far too long.
many years ago they were amazing, now every game looks low res, jaggie, terrible shadow work, screen tear, sub-hd, every game looks last gen
Of course it doesn't. But it sure contributed a lot to the high development costs, the glaring lack of variety, etcetera that defined modern-day gaming.
This is the same as those stupid pc gaming isn't dead articles.
PS3 is now almost even with the 360 and has great exclusives.
Most of all, it made Sony win the format war, and this is probably the biggest thing a console has ever made for its maker. If it wasn't for the PS3 we might be stuck with a crappy extended version of the DVD.
360 is also great, but it lacked of conviction; hard-disk should have been there from beginning and same thing goes for wi-fi connection. HD DVD should have been the game format.
Who said PS3 sucked though?
They're the only ones among the big three that's still supporting their current-generation gaming console with AAA exclusive titles. No gimmicks, no family-friendly additions, no non-gaming related services, no nothing: just hardcore, mature-oriented, gorgeous looking video games.
If PS3 is considered as "a console which sucks pretty bad", I don't know what horrible, horrible things can be said about the other two companies which literally dropped the gaming support for their video game consoles, and don't even care about their core base anymore.
Sony's at least still trying.
If it sucked nobody would be talking about, it would have simply faded away like the Dreamcast.
I didn't think the Dreamcast 'sucked' but it was a failed console. When talking console hardware you hear MS, Sony, and Nintendo, not Sega.
To be honest, NONE of the consoles do. Now some of the games and content on the other hand...
Cant believe 6 years later even need articles like this.
duh.. Of course it doesnt suck.. Its the highest selling console around the world except the US.. The wii has the most sold overall & microsoft/sony are virtually
neck n neck
I'll stick to my PC gaming :P an Xbox nor a PS3 can stand up to my i7-3770K with and overclocked evga gtx 680 signature edition
When I made this article I was defending it true and through. Go look me up. I play Playstation 3 faithfully. I was playing it before 360. Anyone who thinks this is a troll..think again. I was truely speaking from the heart.
Both systems get to learn from their mistakes since the ps3 and Xbox 360 was the first step for consoles into the HD era and first full online console. When the next playstation and next Xbox release we will get to see who will truly win then
PS3 is still a great machine with great games.
1) Any sane person knew this years ago. It's not news, and the topic is so old that it's not even interesting.
2) If gamers actually cared about games journalism stuff like this wouldn't be at top of N4G. A proper story would be.
But because gamers like to bitch and moan about "bad journalism" but then go and click on the articles they're complaining about, stuff like this gets lots of traffic, thus encouraging more bad journalism in the future.
Its very easy for someone who isn't in journalism to say what is good or great journalism. Journalism is opinion. Journalism is expression. Journalism is creativity. Journalist can and will not be able to gain everyone's seal of approval. To trash someone's work based upon they way or words, their opinions, anything that makes them different in a career that needs those same traits is just not right. I spent a good amount of time on this article and I thank everyone who read it. Even if they opinions are different than mines. To personally attack me or any journalist cause of their opinion well that would be no better than me trashing you for yours without good reason.
Coming from a long time SOCOM player I must point out that SOCOM 4 is an abomination that describes just about everything that's wrong with the gaming industry these days. They took a great game and turned it into some generic shooter. Publishers just want to copy CoD and have no balls these days...

ps3 dose suck and im telling you that from my wii u , witch now replace my xbox360
Compared to the NES-PS2 era, PS3/360/Wii sucks.
@Stockpile Tom. I'm aware of what the veterans of the community thought. Not all of the veterans felt that way. I understand things must evolve, change and grow. Zipper tried that with Socom 4 and I just feel some people don't like change. The game's campaign was ok and some of the missions was a pain such as the last stealth mission. The game overall isn't "terrible" thats the reason I brought up Socom 4. I still play it ..and yes I played all the Socoms.
Its incredibly obvious why this article was written. Childish. The site must be in dire need of traffic.
Since I can't reply, I guess I will say my piece here.
This is easily one of the poorest things I've read on this site. From things like the "rumors" of their exclusives not being that good... it's not a rumor, since it's founded by logic and the simple fact that NOT every title Sony made was great and most of these people CAN justify their reasoning. Plenty of Sony titles were disliked across the board, be it Modnation, Karting, All 4 One, Killzone 3 (cause it wasn't as good as 2), Resistance 2/3 (cause it was more mainstream than 1), Resistance Burning Skies, and many others aren't that great and this is generally agreed (by hates, trolls, supporters, and critics) to be true.
Additionally, the overall point isn't that strong, nor is the article written in a way that supports it. Most people don't think the PS3 sucks, just like most people don't think the Xbox sucks either. Just because people like features from A and dislike them from B (and vice versa), just means people want it to be better. Sadly I don't think the writer understands this concept, nor does he understand that calling them "X-bots" is just discrediting him at every pass. (They should be called 360 gamers or something of the like) While I disagree with people saying this is a troll article or they're looking for hits, I just think this is some person that wants to make a difference, but clearly has no understanding of how to go about it or what our current mentality is.
uknow im a ps3 guy the xbox doesnt suck and the ps3 doesnt suck. What sucks to me is paying for xbox live when they really should not haft to. PS3 and psn may not be exactly as user friendly as xbox live but its free. To me i love psn and ps3 and from what i hear xboxlive and psn is like splitting hairs. I just dont understand why microsoft needs this subsription money it is just pure greed. They have billions and billions of dollars. Sony is hurting and thye still offer free online. I would even pay for psn if i had to. I mean sony has got to something to stop the bleeding but maybe things are not as bad as they seem. PSN is a cash cow for sony u ask me.
Both PS3 and x360 are great consoles.
Why would anyone think that PS3 or x360 suck? They are both unique in both ways.
Both PS3 and X360 got their own unique problems, unique games, unique online service.
You can't be wrong if you choose any of those two.

What sort of ethics and moral code do you follow in your life?
Do you follow the Humanism principles? As a Humanist I try to follow these.
Views: 1442
A basic set of eight such principles, together with brief annotations, has been suggested by Resnik:
Non-malificence: Do not harm yourself or other people.
Beneficence: Help yourself and other people.
Autonomy: Allow rational individuals to make free and informed choices.
Justice: Treat people fairly: treat equals equally, unequals unequally.
Utility: Maximize the ratio of benefits to harms for all people.
Fidelity: Keep your promises and agreements
Honesty: Do not lie, defraud, deceive or mislead.
Privacy: Respect personal privacy and confidentiality.
"Justice: Treat people fairly: treat equals equally, unequals unequally."
This sentence requires more clarity.
If I stand beside a beggar on the street or a starving child, am I to act unequal to them?
If I stand beside the queen of England or the POTUS, am I to act unequal to them?
I understand there are protocols when standing with a national leader, but I do not feel unequal to them, regardless of their position, nor do I feel unequal to a beggar or a starving child.
I looked up the link and feel even more strongly now. How do you interpret that principle?
Yup! Dog are superior to humans in their ability to smell, cat in their ability to see, mice in their ability to survive nuclear war, owls in their ability to fly through trees at high speeds, eagles in their ability to see small things from far away, salmon in their ability to find their way home, polar bears in their ability to endure cold, bats in their ability to "see" at night, wolves in their ability to survive the ravages of humans, snakes in their ability to sense heat, ... shall I continue?

One of France's most high-profile business figures has released a report which could be the wake-up call many believe France's economy needs – or could end up gathering dust on an Elysee shelf.
Employees in the rest of Europe often look on in wonder at France, with its enshrined 35-hour working week, and a recent move to lower the retirement age to 60, for some, as the rest of the continent gloomily eyes an ever-increasing pensionable age. Its social security net is known for how widely it is cast, but this comes at a cost. Its export share has been falling as companies relocate to places with cheaper labor costs.
While big businesses such as energy provider EDF and luxury goods giants Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessey and PPR have survived the downturn in relative health, France's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), more dependent on the domestic economy, are in worse shape. Many economists blame this in part on profit margins squeezed by the cost of labor.
"Locked in survival mode, with an insufficient accumulation policy and a greater sensitivity to economic shocks, SMEs face a considerable risk of disappearing," Axelle Lacan, economist at Credit Agricole, argued. "After five years of crisis, the structure of SMEs is extremely fragile and their financial difficulties are growing."
Louis Gallois, the former chief executive of EADS called for 30 billion euros ($38.54 billion) worth of cuts to payroll taxes and job market reforms to kickstart France's competitiveness in a report released Monday. He has previously spoken of the need for a "competitiveness shock" to the country, which many believe needs structural reforms urgently.
President Francois Hollande's government is readying a response to the report. Hollande's socialist background and calls for a "competitiveness pact" rather than a "shock" last week suggest that his feelings on the topic may be markedly different to Gallois'.
The most unpredictable factor around Monday's announcement is how much notice France's government will take of it. France has been dubbed "the big laggard" of Europe by Credit Suisse analysts, who argue that its potential is being stifled by the need for structural reforms. Reforms could add around 0.75 percentage points to annual GDP growth, according to International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates. In an economy which is expected to grow by just 0.6 percent this year, this could make a material difference.
The IMF added its voice to Gallois' on Monday afternoon in calling for greater competitiveness in France, heaping more pressure on the government to act.
Hollande's first budget, which increased the tax burden on businesses at the same time as reducing public sector spending by less than hoped for, failed to alleviate market concerns.
Werner Perdrizet, economist at Credit Agricole, singled out the "rigidities" of the French labor market, particularly its notoriously high job protection and tightly regulated bargaining agreements with unions, in recent research into the labor market in the euro zone.
Reforms suggested for France include: less employment protection; more focus on getting young workers into work; making working hours more flexible and cutting the labor tax for companies.
France's continued growth despite a lack of reforms indicates that it "has room to grow fast" if reforms are introduced, according to Credit Suisse. Yet without some concerted action from Hollande's government soon, that time seems far away.
