Is FUE Hair Transplant the Best Harvesting Technique?
Doctor Answers 17
Promoted Local Answer
FUE vs FUT preference depends on the patient
Strip method versus follicular unit extraction
Is FUE the best technique?
With FUE (follicular unit extraction) there is no 'linear scar' but contrary to popular belief there is a scar! However, it's just a tiny tiny circular "microscar". It's hard to see and that's the great thing about FUE. But it is a scar nevertheless. Because the area heals with a microscar, it is often possible for one to wear their hair very very short.
What are the downsides of FUE?
If an individual is likely to go on to develop more significant balding in advanced ages, then it's possible that with FUE surgery will involve taking hairs from an area in the donor region that might not truly be permanent hairs.
Take two men at age 29 with thinning in the front of the scalp. Both are destined to go on to develop a Norwood VI pattern without surgery. One gets 2500 grafts with strip and one gets 2500 grafts with FUE. Both look great one year after their surgery and both look good 10 years after. But do both look good 30 years after their surgery? There is a slightly greater chance that the man who had strip will have "fuller" hair at age 57.
It's important for all men consider hair transplant to understand this concept. There are unique benefits to both strip and FUE.
You might also like...
Is there a best technique for hair transplantation.
FUE vs. FUT
Is FUE a Better Technique than FUT ?
The complexity can be understood by just comparing them on how short the hair can be used afterwards. The linear scar of FUT can be very fine and well hidden inside the strongest portion of the donor area that it may allow using the hair quite short, if not totally shaven. On the other hand, the seemingly scarless FUE may cause white dots and a moth-eaten appearance at the sides and close to the neck where the density is not so good and hair is usually cut quite short. Therefore even the the assumption that FUE allows for using the hair shorter may be mistaken.
FUT vs strip vs FUE hair transplants
Terminology may not be important to some people, but if its a matter of a large scar on your scalp it may matter to you. However, i agree that it does not stop at terminology. Once you decide if you are ok with one method vs the other(my thought is they both produce good growth but its the side effects and costs that make the difference) THEN the key thing is finding a dedicated center that is good at it. Do you want to go to a place that mixes FUE and FUT, or just dedicated to one or the other? Do you want to go to a place that also does Lipo and botox and hormone therapy or to a dedicated center? It depends on how much you value specialization.
Viability of the grafts with this technique (FUE) vs strip method has been debated, although technological advances in the way in which we harvest and preserve grafts have made this less of an issue.
In our practice, I perform both techniques. The strip technique is more commonly performed in woman because of hairstyle considerations. Men in my practice generally prefer the FUE procedure.
Best of luck!
Web reference: http://drwise.com/hair-restoration-new-jersey/
Fue or FUT
Both methods give wonderful results if you are in professional hands and its just a matter of having a less invasive surgery or not.Nowadays FUE method has more increasing demand than FUT Method but FUT is still necessary to harvest more grafts.
Sounds like FUE is much better choice for you
Both procedures will potentially provide great results if you are in great hands. I think part of the answer you all ready gave to yourself. The F.U.E technique will be better for you because you like to have short hair style. F.U.E (Follicular Unit Extraction) will not create visible linear scar. In the future you would be able to shave your head and nobody would know you had surgery.
Definitely with Neograft or ARTAS robotic hair transplantation surgery is more convenient for the patient. And as always it is good to have a detailed consultation with the clinic of your choice.

Same here! I keep checking to see if I have developed webbed feet
ps; the ratchet anvil ones are not good on thin green material only good for large woody stuff.
I got some ratchet anvil ones at The Royal Norfolk Show about 2/3 years ago - for about £4.5 i don't use them as my main secateurs, but they have lasted well and can tackle really thick material. Sadly there is no manufacturers name on them.
My by-pass ones are Wilkinson Sword with a rolling handle and were pretty cheap and have lasted years. I just wish these things were a smidgen smaller for women's hands (then they would probably colour them pink)
Can you post a photo of this weed Dougi? (use tree icon to upload)
Dove, lovely thought but it took me days of digging and sifting soil to get rid of it; it took over the whole flower bed.
That is a beautiful photo

obelixx, it will be outdoors and made from pressure treated timber; total cost £38 ish plus £5 for galvanised bucket. It will go in fron of the double doors to the garage which is my studio. It will be used for potting, washing pots and seed trays and prepping garden veg so I don't have to take muddy veg into the kitchen.
Your bench arrangement sounds very good; any chance of a photo?
I only know about lashings of lemonade from Enid Blyton books
Looking at the design this a.m. it does look rather like a double bed head with outdoor urinal for someone with long legs. I might have to make some modifications...

Cashner signs with Cubs
July 9, 2008
FORT WORTH, Texas - Andrew Cashner, the 19th overall pick in the 2008 MLB Draft, has inked a contract with the Chicago Cubs. He becomes the third Horned Frog to sign a professional contract this summer. As part of the deal, the right-handed pitcher receives an invitation to the 2009 big league Spring Training camp in 2009.
Cashner will be on-air with Cubs broadcaster's tonight during the Cubs' game with Cincinnati. Tomorrow afternoon, Cashner will throw out the first pitch at Wrigley Field prior to the start of the Cubs' series finale with Cincinnati.
Cashner excelled on the mound for the Frogs this season in the closer role. He led the team with nine saves to go along with a 9-4 record in 30 appearances. The junior had a team-high 80 strikeouts in 54 1/3 innings pitched and has posted a 2.32 ERA. He limited opponents to a .122 batting average this season.
Named first-team all-conference earlier this season, Cashner also earned a spot on the Mountain West Conference all-tournament squad after helping the Frogs earn their fifth straight tournament crown. Prior to the NCAA Regionals, Cashner was tabbed as a Louisville Slugger second-team All-American.
Earlier this summer, Bryan Kervin signed with Toronto and is playing for the Auburn Doubledays, the short season affiliate of the Blue Jays. Seth Garrison also signed a professional contract with Boston and is playing with their short season squad, Lowell of the New York-Penn League

We've gotten a lot of questions about the differences between Windows Desktop Search 3.01 for Windows XP (or Google Desktop Search) and the desktop search and organization capabilities in Windows Vista. There are many features that are different, but in particular, one feature, called Search Folders, stands out.
Search Folders are saved searches that free you from having to live in a world of strictly hierarchical folders.
You can design a Search Folder that organizes your files in virtually any way. You can create them to find files or types of files that you often need. For example, you can design one that lets you view all of your files by a particular author, on that lets you see only files that are attachments, or even one that shows you all files from a particular team project. They are simple queries, and the sky is the limit when it comes to designing them. Once you've created them, you can use them whenever you need to search for that group of files.
Here's how to crate a Search Folder:
Give it a try and let us know what you think.

Who Cares About Patent Term? Cross-Industry Differences in Term Sensitivity
Neel U. Sukhatme
Princeton University, Department of Economics
Judd N. L. Cramer
Princeton University - Department of Economics
August 19, 2014
There is little empirical evidence about the relative importance of patent term across industries. We measure term sensitivity through patent applicants' response to the passage of the TRIPS agreement, which changed how term was calculated. We find significant differences in term sensitivity across industries, some of which follows conventional wisdom (patent term is important in pharmaceuticals) and some of which does not (it also matters for software). Our measure is highly correlated with patent renewal rates across industries. Additionally, we use ordinary least squares and a new empirical technique known as regression kink design to perform an event study around the passage of TRIPS, which retroactively increased term for many patents. We find the average firm gained about $8.3 million in market value for each additional year of patent term it received. Our measures are highly correlated, which corroborates an intuitive prediction that we formalize in a model: industries that care more about patent term tend to have higher expected profits toward the end of term.

Eating Meat In Morrissey's Honor

I'm grilling hamburgers tonight in honor of Morrissey's comment. I don't have a problem with people who choose not to eat meat.

Vivian, I don't mean to get personal here, but I've been reading your posts about your wife learning how to ride and the subsequent mishaps. And I've come to the conclusions, that you probably aren't the guy that ought to be teaching her how to ride. I taught my wife how to ride, starting out on a KTM500mxc 2 stroke on the beach at Pismo (no, she couldn't kick start it), then a YZ250 2 stroke, then a GS500 twin, GZ250, then a Sportster, then my Ducati S4 916. She never hit the ground on the street. But I was a nervous wreck, if she was going to fast, especially on the Duc, I'd get past her and slow her down. I never led her into shit I didn't think she could handle, and she seemed to have a bit of self preservation instinct. But eventually, she stopped riding. Of which I'm glad, there worst thing, in my mind, would be to see her bouncing down the road.
Now, it appears you led your wife into this one. You being the more experienced rider and all. And no, ABS wouldn't have saved her. ABS is a helpful addition, but it does not replace riding skill. I think if you continue to do this stuff with her, you are.going to get her killed or suffering some major injuries, and I'm 100% serious about that. Get her some real instruction, or get her off a bike before its too late.

A month away from the auspicious Durga Puja celebrations calls for a re-blog of this post for the Daily Post's Weekly Photo Challenge.
Fray : The Goddess goes to battle against the Asura, Good prooves victorious over Evil, Peace is restored to the world…
Originally posted on A Date With Delhi:
If you're lucky enough to be in India at this time of the year, you are in for a season of festivities. Navrata, Durga Puja, and Dussehra just passed by our lives and filled Delhi with a spirit of celebration. While Durga Puja is typically the main festival of Bengalis and is celebrated with much fervor in Bengal, particularly Kolkata, Delhi is not to be left far behind! In a little pocket of Delhi called Chittaranjan Park, lies a mini-Bengal itself. And last week, the place was abuzz with colorful "Pandals", gorgeous idols of the Goddess and queues and queues of people trying to get a glimpse of her. And of course, the street food was mind boggling in its sheer variety!
Here are some pictures of the idols from in and around Delhi. Hope you enjoy them!
The Daily Post invites bloggers to participate in weekly photo challenges by prompting ideas with a single word or thought. This week's challenge is 'habit'. Something that becomes customary, an everyday something which might appear mundane but sometimes behind that act, there might lie a lot of meaning and depth.
At the Dargah of the Sufi saint Hazrat Nizamuddin in Delhi, pilgrims have made it a habit to tie prayer-strings to the trellis surrounding the tombs of the holy men buried there. You can read more about the Dargah here, here and here. The word 'habit' invoked in me the memory of the innumerable prayer-threads I have noticed on my visits. A regular custom, but one of deep devotion, of hope that prayers will be answered, of faith that someone is listening…
If you have been to Delhi but not visited the dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin, you have missed something! Even if you are not a particularly devout follower of Sufism, this shrine would still give you a spectacle of how faith can indeed move mountains. But let's begin at the beginning….. So the other day, together with a few of my friends, we ventured into the Nizamuddin area of Delhi. Some of the others in the group had already visited the dargah on prior occasions, and having heard so much about it and having watched it grow popular in travel shows and Bollywood movies, the rest of us consented it was time we earned ourselves some first-hand experience.

I have to share something crazy that happened the other day. I was driving around with a friend in Dwarka and if you have been to that part of the city, you'd not expect the kind of traffic even remotely close to what the neighbouring area of Gurgaon faces. So we happily took a turn believing we'd just cruise along, but lo and behold! What do we see! There is a traffic jam, but of a different nature… Continue reading
A year ago around this time, on a sudden impulse, wanderfool and I hopped onto the yellow line of Delhi Metro one afternoon, and went to Chandni Chowk. At first we got caught up in the alleyways and just hopped from shop to shop, not buying anything, just taking in the hustle-bustle of the vendors, the fragrance of sweet and fresh 'jalebis', the sight of glitzy garments, faux stone-cut jewellery, and ribbons and shoes and bags and what-not! It was crazy frenzy all around and I'm sure it's the same the whole year through!
Soon enough both of us were overwhelmed by the place and my friend suggested we visit the Jama Masjid close by. I had never been there, so I agreed at once! As we made our way towards the Masjid, we realised something was going on… wanderfool told me she had never seen so many stalls along this way, selling fresh and dry fruits, water bottles, 'chaadars', incense…and then it dawned on both of us at the same time – we had unwittingly chosen a fantastic time to visit the Jama Masjid – it was the month of 'Ramadan' and pious Muslims from all over the city would congregate at the cardinal mosque of Old Delhi, say their evening prayers at dusk and break their day-long fast by partaking in the 'iftar'.

All that said, is Decosta the source (fingers crossed)

i did wonder if this might not be a bunch of smoke and mirrors by the PR department to maybe take some focus away from the two losses and not have people outright kicking the team to death...
but seems it might be true.
If this all is true, I think it came down from the top. How does Bisciotti know what to pay Flacco if he's still attached to Cameron? Is it Cam? Is it Flacco? Is it Harbaugh? Is it 2 or 3 of the above? Maybe the next 4 games will tell us something.
I agree and can see Biscotti stepping in. A closed door meeting..... That usually means very sensitive. Its 11:15. Harbs usually speaks at 4 we should know something then unless the team decides to leak it before which i dont think will happen knowing how good they are at keeping things quiet.
Since one person said its on a side of the ball we wont expect. How do they know what we expect? The defense has been incosistant but so has the offense but we are 9-4.
The longer these rumors sit out in the light of day, the more I think it's Cam. Consider ....
** Zorn gets fired at the end of the 2010 season and Cam takes the duel roll of OC & QB's coach.
** Harbs pulls QB coaching duties from Cam and they bring in Caldwell in 2011.
** Cam is "extended" but not one word of the contract terms, compensation, etc.
** Team has melt down yet Harbs looks like gold at the end of it.
** Harbs is seen more than once yelling at Cam during the game yesterday, one of which was right after the offense strolled off the filed for the first half with time still on the clock.
Lot's of circumstances stacking up here ....
Dan Patrick just reported that the reason for the silence is that not everyone has been notified yet ....
Sounds like they want to dot their "I"'s and cross their "T".s before the presser. Smart.
WNST 10:18am via Web
More from @dpshow: "From what I'm told, not everybody has been informed of this" change on Baltimore Ravens coaching staff.
Again, if this is in fact happening, I hope it is something that Ozzie and Harbs have decided warrants action, and not an overreaction to external stimuli; otherwise, this team has more serious problems than we are aware of.
Cam's GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nationality: British
Birth Year: 1909
Death Year: 1992
Place of Birth: Dublin, Ireland
Place of Death: Madrid, Spain
Not to be confused with the former Chancellor of England, Francis Bacon (the artist) was a British painter who achieved international acclaim with his dark but poignant renderings of figures. Often set on steely, cage-like ground, his subjects were largely abstracted and isolated victims of Bacon's bleak interpretation of the human condition.
Early Life
Born in Dublin, Ireland, in October of 1909, Bacon grew up in a wealthy family descended from the cultured aristocracy of Old England. His father, Captain Anthony Bacon, was a racehorse trainer believed to be a direct relation of Sir Nicholas Bacon, brother of the artist's namesake. His mother, Christina Winifred Firth, was heiress to a Sheffield steel and coal mine business, while his great-great-grandmother was a known lover of Romantic poet Lord Byron.
Bacon's childhood was dominated by violent conflicts with his father who, according to varying reports, was physically abusive and intolerant of the artist's budding homosexuality. His nanny Jessie Lightfoot played a pivotal role in raising the young boy and sought to protect him from his father's ire. Bacon's shyness and effeminacy created friction between father and son, and it has been reported that the Captain went so far as to order a groom to horsewhip the boy. He was finally disowned when his father caught him admiring himself in the mirror clothed only in his mother's underwear.
Street Education
The end of 1926 found Bacon in London, dodging rent, reading philosophy and living on the £3 a week budget his mother's trust fund allowed him. He supplemented his income with petty theft and domestic service but remained restless and bored. He worked briefly as a secretary at a women's boutique but was fired after an altercation with the owner. He drifted through London's homosexual underbelly, often ensnaring a rich older man to temporarily finance him. One such gentleman was a relative of his mother's, named Harcourt-Smith, who in 1927 took Bacon to Germany and exposed him to the decadent, baroque lifestyle of Berlin.
Having saved some of the money Harcourt-Smith had lavished upon his lover, Bacon moved to Paris for the next year and a half. Almost upon his arrival, he encountered French pianist Yvonne Bocquentin at an exhibition opening and moved into her house in Chantilly for three months. He spent this time learning French, reading and visiting cinemas and galleries in the city. It was in Paris that he saw Nicolas Poussin's The Massacre of the Innocents, a work to which he later often referred. After seeing an exhibition of Picasso's drawings in 1927, Bacon was inspired to develop his own career as an artist. In the autumn of that year, once he had mastered the language, Bacon moved out of Chantilly to the Hotel Delambre in Montparnasse, where he lived alone for the remainder of his time in France.
Life in London
Moving back to London in late 1928, he took up work as an interior designer, converting a garage in South Kensington into his studio. He advertised himself in local newspapers as a 'gentleman's companion' and made the acquaintance of a cousin of Douglas Cooper's, whose collection of modern art was thought to be the finest in England. The gentleman approached Cooper to foster Bacon's developing talent in furniture and interior design and was successful in commissioning some work for the fledgling craftsman. It was this fortunate connection that allowed Bacon a foothold into the legitimate art world.
In the winter of 1929, Bacon staged his first exhibition – of a collection of rugs and furniture, along with his earliest known surviving painting Watercolour. The reception of Bacon's work was largely positive; he received commissions for furniture and was featured in various design publications. Throughout the 1930s, Bacon mounted several exhibitions of his works, and was speculated to have shared a studio with Australian artist Roy de Maistre, who would later become a close friend and mentor.
His breakthrough came in 1944 with the triptych Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion, a painterly distortion of faces with open mouths, motifs that would recur in his later works. The painting gained public traction, and was later donated to the Tate Gallery in 1953.
From the 1950s to the end of his career in the early '90s, the unwavering theme of his art was the loneliness and isolation of the individual. His compositions usually involved a single figure in a boxed-in interior, almost as if trapped in eternity.
Bacon died of a heart attack on April 28, 1992, in Madrid, Spain. His entire estate was bequeathed to his long-time friend John Edwards, who donated the contents of the artist's studio to the Hugh Lane gallery in Dublin. The same studio has since been reconstructed inside the gallery.

Many age-related neurological diseases are associated with defective proteins accumulating in nerve cells, suggesting that the cell's normal disposal mechanisms are not operating correctly. Now, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have discovered a molecular link between the cell's two major pathways for breaking down proteins and have succeeded in using this link to rescue neurodegenerative diseases in a simple animal model. The study appears this week in Nature.
The cell has two internal pathways for breaking down proteins. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway marks unwanted proteins with ubiquitin tags and shuttles them for rapid breakdown to a complicated structure called the proteasome. The second is the autophagy-lysosomal system, a more general process in which proteins are surrounded by membranes inside the cell for bulk digestion.
"The dogma has been that the autophagy-lysosomal and the proteasomal systems are trains that run on different tracks, with similar purposes, but no point of intersection," explains senior author J. Paul Taylor, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Neurology. "The new finding directly challenges this thinking by showing that one system can be induced to compensate for the other. Cells are able to shift proteins between the systems. We think that this molecular link can be used to benefit a wide variety of neurodegenerative diseases because accumulation of toxic proteins is a common underlying feature of age-related neurodegeneration."
Taylor and his group study fruit flies in which the proteasome is disabled by a genetic mutation, which results in neurodegeneration. They use the fly eye, a neuron-rich tissue, as a surrogate for the brain because it is easy to visualize. They discovered that making the lysosomal system more or less active dramatically influenced the severity of neurodegeneration.
"We found that whenever we knocked the lysosome system down, neurodegener

DAMN, i tried once with the new sim before trying my old, majorly regretting not trying my old first as I'm at 5 hours and counting and still not activating.
Experiencing iPhone 4S activation issues on AT&T? [Updated]
It is iPhone 4S release day which means activation troubles. Many people, including myself, have had their new, shiny iPhone 4S in their hands for hours, but have yet to get past the activation screen. When trying to activate with iTunes or directly on the phone, users are presented with the following message:
Your activation is still pending. You will receive an email notification once your activation is complete.
We're sorry. There was a problem connecting to the server. Please try again later.
It appears that this only an issue with AT&T. iPhone 4S customers on Verizon and Sprint are activating without any issues.
Other users are reporting of receiving an email telling them that their iPhone 4S cannot activate and instructs them to call with a reference number.
Many other users have let me know that they put in their old sim card before turning on their iPhone 4S and it started up without a problem and did not prompt them to activate. So if you have not received your iPhone 4S yet, you may want to try this first. I tried my old sim after trying to activate with my new sim, and I'm still getting the same message.
Who's still waiting to activate? Who has successfully activated? Does anyone have any tricks to getting our iPhone 4S's to activate quicker? Anyone wishing they went with Verizon or Sprint, instead?
Update: I called AT&T and they said that since I ordered my iPhone 4S through Apple, it never made it to AT&T's system and my activation never entered the queue. The customer service representative told me that the current wait is 1-2 hours and manually entered my IMEI and ICCID numbers to put me in the queue. So if you purchased through Apple.com, I highly recommend you give AT&T a call.

Experiencing iPhone 4S activation issues on AT&T? [Updated]
AT&T sucks
Still freakin waiting to activate...I HATE THIS CRAP...
Please turn your old phone off and keep it off and also give us a call to check your imei/sim and the data pkg on your line if you have the unlimited plan you must have the new unlimited data 4s to access network- If activation done at apple your contracts is the only thing added- Thank you
still trying to activate. ughhhhhh
Took me one try like 5 minutes no issue at all
I was one of the lucky ones. Steps below that worked fine for me:
- Back up iPhone 4 with old SIM.
- Removed old SIM from 4 and new SIM 4S.
- Powered up 4S with no SIM and restored backup from 4.
- Put old SIM in 4S and trash new SIM.
And there was much rejoicing. El yay.
I called AT&T, had them switch the IMEI & ICCID in their system to new phone, activation went through 15 mins later.
Received it 3.5 hrs ago via UPS and it's still not activated. I called AT&T and the lady said there was a "10 minute delay." Funny she should mention that because it's been over 200 minutes!
There were activation issues at the Lennox Mall Atlanta Apple store with both Sprint and AT&T but Verizon appeared to have no problem with activation. I got there at 11am. Finally got activated around 2pm. It was worth the wait.
What's the best way to activate? Should I go through the email links I got from AT&T or on-screen on the phone? My 4S is waiting in my apartment office. I hope all of these issues have stopped by the time I get home.
Do you already have the 4?
Yep still cant activate
Verizon went through with no problem, Poor service is why I paid to get out of AT&T early. I am glad I did.
This always happens when a new phone comes out. It's due to overload of all the new phones being activated. You guys should have known this by now..
Mine just arrived 20 minutes ago. The biggest lie of the day was when it told me it could take three minutes to activate my iPhone. Yeah, right.
Within 2 minutes, it quit trying and said I'd receive an e-mail.
My iPhone 4S activated right away with no issues!
Did I mention I'm on Verizon?
I like the new reader feature enabled on the website
I had issues with mine when I got it from the UPS guy about 10:30 am Eastern. I live close to an AT&T corporate store, so I just drove down there, told them what was up and the activated it real quick. Travel and all it was a 20 minute deal. Then again my AT&T store rocks.
I shouldn't have to do it, but it was painless.
I've had mine for about an hour, but I think I've only been trying to activate for about 30 or 40 minutes. I figured this would happen. When my 3GS showed up, it came early in the morning. I had no problems since half the county was still waking up and waiting in line for their iPhone 3GS. But today, my 4S showed up at 4:00 eastern, which basically means I'm screwed for activation probably until the middle of the night. sigh
On the plus side, at least I'm not stuck at my computer since this thing can activate by itself. That's nice.
I just got thru to my cousin who works at Apple..he said the trick is to power down and restart..hit the up volume 3 times and the down volume twice..the screen will flicker and then press and hold the home button down for 15 secs..the screen flashes again and will work.
I've been trying to activate for almost 4 hours even when you call they are absolutely no help.
Pittsburgh PA 10:30 ups delivery pulled it out of the box. Followed the steps restored from iCloud and was up and running 2 min later
Mine didn't work like that because I had turned the phone on with the "new sim" in before switching it out...
That's still a fail for me. Unfortunately I have the 3GS so SIM swapping will not work. But I will try the other "troubleshoots" people are speaking about.
I am having the same problems as you guys...I decided to take matters into my own hands...I went down to my ATT store and demanded to speak to the manager. He came out and was very nasty with me saying, "oh lord its one the Apple freaks, I should have called in instead of having to deal with you guys!" I couldn't believe it...he said that if Steve jobs was in his store he would kill him..thank god... If you live in Elizabethtown Ky...the store manager is a fucking jerk and deserves to be fired....if I had had lube on me I would have greased up my new iphone and shoved it up his obvious violated anus!!
UGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! 6 hours, nothing!
Try hard resetting the phone
Well it's unfortunate that some people have had issues, however my experience and my wife's experience with purchasing and activating our iPhone 4S's has been quick and painless. We purchased them through AT&T online and received them today and installation and activation with iCloud and AT&T was fast. I'm very pleased with my experience.
All those people who ask why wait in line? This is one reason.
I was in line about a half-hour at my AT&T store, and the line was nearly done by the time I left. I'm sure plenty of people later had no wait at all. At least you know they'll get it done at the store. They also had some sweet accessory bundles on sale. Had my new shiny running early this morning.
I activated mine on AT&T in about 2 minutes. But still waiting for 3G access.
I preordered my ATT iphone 4s from Apple. It arrived this morning and no activation yet. I went to the ATT store where they manually entered my IMEI and ICCID numbers to put me in the queue. I then got an error message saying the SIM card in my phone did not match the card associated with my account. This was demonstrably false as the ATT guy and I both looked at ATT's computer accurately displaying the IMEI and ICCID numbers on the SIM. We forced another SIM, and that transfer accurately went through on ATT's system, but the error message persisted on the phone.
I called Apple, who most unhelpfully told me to connect to itunes and call back if there were problems. I asked the rep how I was supposed to call when my only phone was NOT WORKING? She didn't have an answer for that.
I'm off to the "genius" bar and am not leaving without a working phone.
B as in B
S as in S
Did you upgrade another line other then yours to get the phone...because if you did you have to activate the phone first using the number you upgraded and then after it activates on that number is when you can switch the phone numbers. I had the same issue as you at first and took 6 hrs for att to figure that out.
What happens if you didn't?
AT&T already swapped my hardware and the old phone works on the new number but the new phone will not activate. Do they have to switch them back, activate the new one and then switch them again?
mine arrived today... been trying to activate it since 11am PST (it's almost 3PM now) still no luck... DISAPPOINTED WITH ALL THIS CRAP. The worst part is that I don't have a phone now that I deactivated my old SIM and activated the new one that came with the 4S... and good luck going to the local store if you live in Westwood, CA... the lines are over 2hrs long just to get into the store
I am in the same position you are. Going to the local AT&T store is useless, they just give you the same information you already have. The severs cannot handle the load.
I turned off my old 3G, turned on my new 4S, plugged it into iTunes and it attempted - but failed - activation. I tried it a 2nd time, 'cause I'm impatient like that and whaddayaknow, it went right through.
I was having problems and just kept trying...this was at about 9am. Finally it just worked while I was on the phone with At&t. My problem was that I bought it on another line on my family plan and had to give At&t my IMEI number over the phone as I was unable to simply switch my sim card to the new phone.
Overall tho, At&t was VERY helpful on the phone and got me up and running very quickly.
Good luck to the rest of you...
After waiting two hours thinking I would get an email, I tried starting over with the activation.
This time around, it still failed to activate, but I did not get the message that I was in a queue and would receive an email. I got a screen that said if I turned my iPhone off and on, I could restart the activation process.
Three tries and it was activated.
I was finally able to activate through ITunes...after trying twice...DONE!!
The problem is the icloud switch and the network server. There are also vs and sprint people reporting issues ( like me I have Verizon). I find it odd that you dumb fucks love blaming a carrier for an issue they can't control when its truly your insolence and impatience that needs to be adjusted. The phone is not Jesus, stop acting like it is you stupid shits
removing and reinserting sim worked!
turn off your old phone before you begin the activation.
I pre-ordered from Apple. Am on AT&T. Couldn't get it to activate going through the new phone. Combining advice from a couple of posters below, I turned off my 3GS and plugged the new phone into iTunes. It activated in less than 45 seconds. I did NOT call AT&T to give them my IMEI or ICCID numbers, so apparently some of the pre-orders got through...
I received my phone at 9:00 AM and was not able to get connected until 3:00PM after I read your post and called AT&T to give them my serial number and IMEI numbers. After that presto! Right at the very nexct sync!!
Thanks Tipb for the update above
Errors all day. Made a genius bar appointment. They replaced my phone with a new (not refurbed) unit on the spot. Working now.
I called AT&T, they asked me a few basic questions to confirm I had the phone with the number I ordered as an update, then patched me straight through to Apple Care, who then told me to either wait, or go to an AY&T store. Good news is it finally connected and activated using the phone around 330pm....
I found a trick that worked for both iPhone 4S's delivered today:
After failing to active (for many hours); I just simply made a phone call from my old 3GS...Within seconds, the 3GS received NO SERVICE and the 4S came to life...
As I hooked it to iTunes to restore, I then did the same thing with my wife's old, old 3G...Yup...same thing happened...Right when the call was about to go through; no service and the 4S came to life...
Here's hoping it works for you!
Just activated on AT&T in about 2 minutes. Followed the advice of the person who said to turn off your old phone first. Turned off my iPhone 3G and it worked like a champ.
Worked for me too. Guess it wasn't AT&T it was having two phones compete for same number. Turn off old phone. Then activate
I took mine to Best Buy after hours of frustration and explained to them that i preordered through apple and were getting the error messages. He screwed with it for a little bit then entered the correct IMEI numbers on ATT's website and boom. I was in business. My account showed that I was still using the iPhone4 which I had sold about a week prior and was running a 3G temporarliy. Anyway Siri is pretty cool, hope it gets better though.
Just so everyone knows i tried about 13 times activating and nothing, i got pissed and said am going to AT&T. Before going i said let me try one more time, this time i chose NOT to turn on the Location services and WOAH it worked, i tried this method THREE TIMES in a row and it worked perfectly. So for right now this is the best way to activate your phone. you can later turn the location services in the system sets.
I am surprised - maybe apple was parking the info at one time earlier on- but possible with the multitudes of orders stopped at some time congrats as you needed the new sim to activate and the 3gs is not compatible
Sounds all good but when I call I get hung up on. ATT sucks!
Oh I forgot to tell you all, it's been 18 hours
I pre-orded the iPhone 4S as an AT&T customer, it arrived to me at 10:00 am yesterday and was sooo excited to use it. I had the activation issue for over 15 hours and was very very upset. Nobody at AT&T or Apple could help me with this issue. I finally went online and read a forum and found a way to activate immediately, which worked for me. Hold down the power and home buttons at the same time, wait for the apple to appear on the screen and then let go of the 2 buttons. Then do the activation process again and the phone should activate right away. This worked for me and I was so happy after being without a phone for 15 hours. I danced a jig in my living room as my girlfriend laughed at me. The phone is awesome, however Siri is not working all the time. I called Apple and they said this is a known issue and they are working to fix it. However my confidence is down after yesterday's activation fiasco.
Due to the fact apple did not park the information reg imei/sim. We at customer care had to use common sense to activate- there were some issues with unpaid past due bills and customers keeping their old phones active while trying to activate the new ones. The issues easily solved was when customers remain calm and allow us to do our jobs rather than screaming and insulting us and the AT&T network- The Apple rep s did admit they had opened the web to 3 providers and yes AT&T the largest providers of Service for Iphones users was swamped- Calm and Patience gets it through faster. We value your business your at AT&T and are here to assist you, within the AT&T policies- and also respecting Apple expectations of us- Please be aware any issues with apps or Itunes, Siri at this time must go through Apple we dont have the technology to deal with anything but the network and simple functions of the phone like texting, email, and Voicemail and have no fix its when the ios updates create other issues- until apple tells us how to correct it- or sends out an update from thier programmers. Also please be aware if you call us on the phone that need fixing we cannot troubleshoot properly or if you are driving on the highway on the phone- Accidents can happen at this time Please take care and call us when you have another phone or can log into a computer to get help from AT&T tech chat available for cutomers without a home phone-or another phone to troubleshoot- Thank you for the time
Walked into Apple Store in Kenwood, OH, asked for 4S 64GB. Sales guy went and got it, and we stepped through adding it to my AT&T acct, then the setup. No hiccups, not a single problem. Was in and out of the store in 15 min with a working active iPhone 4S. Even the sales guy said he'd never seen one setup so smoothly. Cuz I'm smooth.
Activation would be a great problem to have, here it is Oct 23rd and my PRE-ORDER still hasn't shipped. What part of pre-order am I not understanding? I was under the impression that if I pre-ordered my iPhone 4s from at&t that I could get it on time.
Boy was iWrong!
My friend walked into a store on launch day and picked one up and has been using his iPhone 4s ever since. I'm not sure I will ever pre-order again, especially from AT&T.
I had no idea how fun it would be to get to know all the other travelers when I started RVing. After a few years of intermittent travel, meeting new people on the road is one of my favorite parts of owing an RV.
Worked at last! Happy owner of a Jailbroken iPad 2 and 4S.... damn i missed cydia

Great Xbox 360 Controller3/25/2013
The Tomb Raider Limited Edition Xbox 360 controller is, in my opinion, very good. This is the first controller that I know of that actually has a textured face - the scratches and bandage are really there and have a tactile feel to them. They do not interfere at all with the buttons and your hand doesn't really rest over them. The controller features the transforming D-pad which is a nice touch. All in all, a very solid controller that is great for any Tomb Raider fans!

I guess I worry too much. But with a fair amount of international experience over the years myself, it always takes more, a lot more, involvement and investment that anyone ever thinks possible to do it right. And, when things don't go right, it always bodes ill for the parent company, if not to the bottom line, but to reputation. That being said, my international experience was always in manufacturing which granted, is a different animal all together than the restaurant business. Taking a wait and see approach on this one though.
I liked everything I heard on the conference call except the international expansion with franchisees. Am concerned this will divert attention and resources away from the main goal. Saber, got a perspective on this?
The loss is due to the fact that they expense all opening costs of new restaurants.

Lee Joon-seok, aged 68, appeared at times disoriented and unable to properly understand questions when he took the stand for the first time in the court in Gwangju that is trying him and three crew members for homicide.
The overloaded ferry Sewol capsized and sank on a routine voyage, causing an outpouring of grief as well as outrage at President Park Geun-hye's government for what was seen by many as a botched rescue operation.
Lee was among 15 crew members accused of abandoning the sharply listing ferry after telling the passengers, most of them school children on a trip to the holiday island of Jeju, to stay put in their cabins.
Asked why he did not make thorough checks to ensure the cargo and num-ber of passengers was within the limits his ship could carry, he said: "It's been the custom."
