Vacuum Cleaner Bags
Vacuum cleaning systems that offer the best cleaning ability – is that what you are seeking? It's also likely that you believe that cleaning ability is related to power or suction. Actually, it's not. While there's no single factor that determines the cleaning ability of the vacuum cleaner you use, understanding how vacuums work and how you can help maintain your vacuum cleaner to perform its best is important. Changing your vacuum cleaner bag is an important step in maintaining the efficiency of your vacuum cleaner. While most vacuum cleaners come with an indicator to help you determine when your cleaner's dust bag needs to be changed, you can perform a check yourself to see if it is over 50% full as that's when you need to replace it. Don't wait until the dust bag in your vacuum cleaner is completely full as it can reduce the suction and cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system. If you use your vacuum cleaner frequently, it is recommended that you change vacuum cleaner bags once a month, especially if you are cleaning a large area over 2000 square feet or if your pet sheds a lot.
What you need the most when you are considering vacuum cleaner bag replacement is a bag that is well-matched with the model of your vacuum cleaning system. You can find original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or replacement type bags online. While both serve the purpose, that is enhancing the cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system and providing you an easy way to get rid of all the dirt that you vacuum cleaner collects, you can choose one according to your budget and cleaning needs. At GoVacuum, we have got a vast range of vacuum cleaner bags from the biggest and the best brands around. You'll find them here at great prices and shipping offers. We are the vacuum cleaning system experts and can recommend the right bag for your existing system all while staying within your budget.

Interpretive Handbook
83667 :
Amyloidosis, Transthyretin-Associated Familial, DNA Sequence, Blood
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The systemic amyloidoses are a number of disorders of varying etiology characterized by extracellular protein deposition. The most common form is an acquired amyloidosis secondary to multiple myeloma or monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS) in which the amyloid is composed of immunoglobulin light chains. In addition to light chain amyloidosis, there are a number of acquired amyloidoses caused by the misfolding and precipitation of a wide variety of proteins. There are also hereditary forms of amyloidosis. Due to the clinical overlap between the acquired and hereditary forms, it is imperative to determine the specific type of amyloidosis in order to provide an accurate prognosis and consider appropriate therapeutic interventions.
The most common hereditary amyloidosis is familial transthyretin amyloidosis; an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene. The resulting amino acid substitutions lead to a relatively unstable, amyloidogenic TTR protein. Most individuals begin to exhibit clinical symptoms between the third and seventh decades of life. Typically, TTR-associated amyloidosis is progressive over a course of 5 to 15 years and the most common cause of death is cardiomyopathy. Affected individuals may present with a variety of symptoms, including peripheral neuropathy, blindness, cardiomyopathy, nephropathy, autonomic nervous dysfunction, or bowel dysfunction.
More than 90 mutations have now been identified within the TTR gene which cause TTR-associated familial amyloidosis. Most of the mutations described to date are single base pair changes that result in an amino acid substitution. Some of these mutations correlate with the clinical presentation of amyloidosis. However, several different mutations have been identified which exhibit considerable clinical overlap.
It is important to note that this assay does not detect mutations associated with non-TTR forms of familial amyloidosis. Therefore, it is important to first test an affected family member to determine if TTR is involved and to document a specific mutation in the family before testing at risk individuals.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of adult individuals suspected of having transthyretin-associated familial amyloidosis
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An interpretive report will be provided.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
A small percentage of individuals who are carriers or have a diagnosis of transthyretin (TTR)-associated amyloidosis may have a mutation that is not identified by this method (eg, large genomic deletions, promoter mutations). The absence of a mutation, therefore, does not eliminate the possibility of positive carrier status or the diagnosis of TTR-associated amyloidosis. For carrier testing, it is important to first document the presence of a TTR gene mutation in an affected family member.
In some cases, DNA alterations of undetermined significance may be identified.
Rare polymorphisms exist that could lead to false-negative or false-positive results. If results obtained do not match the clinical findings, additional testing should be considered.
A previous bone marrow transplant from an allogenic donor will interfere with testing. Call Mayo Medical Laboratories for instructions for testing patients who have received a bone marrow transplant.
Test results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings, family history, and other laboratory data. Errors in our interpretation of results may occur if information given is inaccurate or incomplete.
Mutations in other genes, such as lysozyme, apolipoprotein AII, gelsolin, and others, have been shown to cause other forms of familial amyloidosis. Abnormalities in these genes are not detected by this assay.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.

Berkeley County residents, Charlotte and Steven West were among a group of more than 150 young farmers from across the state attending the recent South Carolina Farm Bureau Young Farmer and Rancher Conference in Charleston.
Conference attendees had the opportunity to participate in many workshops including 2013 crop and cattle outlooks, specialty crop opportunities, estate planning, farm financials, and a cooking demonstration using SC Grown produce.
In addition, young farmers had an opportunity to network with other growers from across our state as well as officials from the South Carolina Department of Agriculture and Clemson University.
Since its beginning in 1972 the SCFB Young Farmer and Rancher Program has played a prominent role in the SC Farm Bureau organization.
Coordinator Faith Lawrimore noted that, "Farm Bureau has a strong tradition and heritage representing farmers. In order for our organization to survive, grow and prosper, it's imperative to recruit future leaders into the organization. This conference was designed to encourage participants to take the lead in their communities and in Farm Bureau.
"I am encouraged by their successes, as well as their enthusiasm, creativity and innovation. All these qualities are needed for the continued progress of agriculture in South Carolina."
Persons interested in supporting agriculture are encouraged to contact their county Farm Bureau office or the South Carolina Farm Bureau Federation at www.scfb.org for additional information.

Seamed Chap Legging
Style # 208091
Glossy paneling at the interior leg and the soft all-day comfort of a legging make this bebe item a total year round closet essential. Try them with cashmere sweaters in every color and a pair of your fave boots for an effortless day look.
- 86% nylon, 14% spandex
- Machine wash
- Made in USA with imported materials
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Rated 5 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5�by NikkieGiovanni Love these I am almost certain that I have every pair of Bebe. I am bottom heavy (36DD-28-40) so I much rather wear leggings than battle with jeans. Bebe always gives me the variety I want as I don't want to wear plain leggings all the time. These babies are thick and high quality. The inner panelling on the thigh looks very sleek. You can dress them up with a blazer and Zaharas or down with a moto jacket and booties. It's true to size and even hides any imperfections you may have. I got them in a small and I am satisfied February 11, 2013

I just spoke with AT&T wireless. They told me that they will not sell the iphone to business customers. It seems like a ridiculous policy since the iphone is so expensive.
I got so annoyed after asking for the reason for this policy, I'm moving my $500/month business account to Verizon Wireless.
Their loss.
No iPhone for AT&T Business Account Customers?
AppleInsider is reporting via a tipster that AT&T will not be offering the iPhone to its Business Account customers. If you fall into that camp, you'll need to purchase your unit through individual contracts.
I can hear the collective screams of biz users as loud as the guy from the Paris Hilton press conference. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

No iPhone for AT&T Business Account Customers?
I just spoke with AT&T wireless. They told me that they will not sell the iphone to business customers. It seems like a ridiculous policy since the iphone is so expensive.
I just purchased 2 8 gig iPhones today after waiting for 3 hours in line. Once I got home to activate them I found that I can not use with existing ATT business accounts. They told me that I would have to transfer my business number to a personal account. When I called Apple to return, I was told they would charge me a 10 percent re-stocking fee. Sounds to that ATT is cooking the books forcing existing customers to create new accounts and showing them as new subscribers. Sounds like a class action suit to me.
As well, the Apple Store does not tell you this when you purchase through their stores.
Way to go Steve!
I just went throught the same crapola. I bought the phone, was never told this bit of info and then contacted AT&T. They told me that they have thousands of calls stacked up all for the same reason! What kind of nonsense is this? I have 8 lines on a business account and wanted to switch one line to cover this phone. I think this is worth screaming about ....I tried switching my SIM card from my other phone but got some sort of error message, has anyone else been able to do this???
I am beside myself with anger. I debated getting the iPhone, but wound up getting two; one for me and one for my business partner. Upon arriving home, we discovered that ATT did not recognize the business account. Their customer service had me calling SIX different phone numbers, put me on hold for over TWO hours, with the final result of "That department is closed until Monday". No fun for an impulse purchase! Can the ATT store fix this problem? Who knows! I would like to see them TRY to assess a "restocking" fee!
Sign me up for the class action suit!
I'm in the same boat as everyone posting above! This is serious BS! I'm pissed... there are probably thousands of other people out there too like this! I'll seriously whip some ass if they try telling me that the this ipaperweight can't be returned at 100% or if they don't fix this problem! BS!
Same here, wife picked up 2 phones, can't activate it even though I am the primary for my small business account. 10% restocking fee since one is open. BTW, I get no discounts with a business plan, just easier for invoicing for taxes. This is idiotic!
same story for me -- I volunteer to be the 2nd one on the lawsuit circuit. Idiotic approach by both AT&T and Apple
My small business has been an AT&T customer for nearly 15 years. I've never been angrier than Friday night, returning home after a mere 2 hours in line to spend an agonizing 4 hours trying to activate on my business account. Stand in line then wait until Monday, when we'll probably be on hold for another 3 hours?! What about the market for the iPhone doesn't AT&T understand?! I'd love to know the rationale behind this decision. This isn't the new AT&T. This is the OLD AT&T. Sign me up for the class action suit.
The irony about this whole issue is it's the business customers who have been so faithful through AT&T - Cingulair - AT&T. I was mad, but I see all you other people in the same position. You really have to wonder why Apple chose AT&T ... in this day and age, we (customers) choose! Hey Steve! Small business people are the widgets! ... still don't feel any better.
Same experience here, but do almost $20K/month with ATT (formerly Cingular, formerly ATT Wireless). Two hour runaround with no result.
On the other hand, I didn't wait in line either. Walked right in to my Apple store at 7:15 and got two iPhones. Walked out around 7:25 (browsed a little). Even told them I was an ATT Business Account and no warning whatsoever.
But, I did notice that ATT put it in the FAQs. I can't wait to here them argue that you need to read the FAQ on their website before making a purchase IN THE STORE.
just got off the phone with at&t. they do suck. what is with the "no business user policy". you can have the account under your personal name and ssc but not under the business name and EIN number. basically, you cannot activate the iphone if your account is a business account. you would have to transfer it to a personal account and figure out how to bill it back to the business. btw, the only thing that at&t does is transfer your account to another account. they are not involve in the activation process.
I too was very disappointed in Apple and AT&T's decision to disclude business customers from the iPhone circle. I waited months for the iPhone (like others) but was never told that my waiting was in vain. I bought an iphone like others and had to find out the hard way that I couldn't use it. Nobody from Apple or AT&T seemed to know the truth, or were rather hiding the truth. Sign me up for the suit as well. Personally, I don't see why business users are being blackballed; they are paying the $500-$600 just like everybody else. This is a move by AT&T to generate new business since they make the money on servicing and Apple makes all the money on the iphone. Oh and thanks for making my purchase decision easier Apple...I'll just go by the Blackberry Curve now and KEEP MY BUSINESS ACCOUNT.
I have the same frustrations as all of you... I feel like I went out and bought a brand new car, and the apple store is holding the keys in front of my face... I personally don't care about any lawsuit... I just want to use the iphone under my business account. I think all of us should write the apple website and be heard. If they know how much money they are losing on business accounts they'll make changes for financial reasons.
Yeah I had the same issue as well....I returned the phone to the Apple store and they tried to charge me a fee. Once I explained the situation, they were cool about it and waived the fee.
However--IM pissed, the phone was awesome and I didnt want to return it
in addition...how can this be legal...it sounds like price gouching to me
The same thing happened to me. My number is under my husband's business account but they didn't bother to tell me that I could not use the iPhone when I purchased it after waiting in line for hours. I took it home and of course had to open the box to find out. I was LIVID. I took the phone back and when it came time for me to sign for my refund (minus "restocking fees") I told them I wasn't budging until they gave me something in writing stating they sold me the phone knowing full well it was a business account. The manager then made a phone call and credited my account the $60.00 restocking fee and refunded my credit card the cost of the balance of the iPhone and accessories I purchased along with it. Don't let them put the screws to you people. DEMAND your FULL refund. It is NOT YOUR FAULT!
What a joke! How can we join together to get this crappy decision overturned?
I agree with Marilyn, why is it the 1st phone on the buisness page?!?!?
I called ATT today and all the rep did was point the finger at Apple even though it was clearly an ATT policy.
She did tell me that it would be released to buisness customers eventually, but the date is TBA.
AppleInsider also reported this on their website.
I hope when they release it to biz customers that there is a discount of some sort!
Has anyone contacted Apple yet? ATT is hopeless ... I am with all the rest of you, having added one business line after another over the years (now up to 10), endured the changeover from ATT to Cingular and now back to ATT ... their customer service stinks, and now they are shutting out their BEST, most profitable customers by refusing to activate business phone numbers for the Iphone. What difference does it make to them? The devices aren't different - they just want us to have to pay more to set up separate accounts, without access to the pooled business account minutes. We are totally screwed with them, and we need to get Apple to exert their force at ATT. Please advise if anyone is contacting Apple. I will go to their website now to provide feedback.
I called AT&T two days before the release of Iphone to ask all the pertinent ?'s - before dropping 600 big
ones and taking the chance of being disappointed.
I just purchased 5 new phones today and two of them were iphones. I had the employee run my business credit and told him they were all for business use. After showing me all the available phones, my partner and I both decided on the iphone. Nothing was ever said about personal vs. business. We both got home, tried to activate via itunes and were unsuccessful. After talking to AT&T customer service, I am so upset, I can't wait to drive back to that AT&T store in the morning and make a scene with the manager. My business credit is just as perfect as my personal credit. To have to use my personal credit to secure the account is just unheard of. The reason us business owners establish steller credit is so we don't have to personally back any credit transactions. If they try and charge me a restocking fee, I am calling my attorney! I might need to think about charging them for all my time they wasted in purchasing these phones and trying to activate them. Any business owner thinking about buying an iphone or doing business with AT&T, I would highly discourage. I think I am going to cancel all my lines and return all my phones and go to Verizon.
the only way this will get resolved is if we complain to apple- AT&T is useless..write Apple, I did.
I was really looking forward to simplifing my life and leaving microsoft products. At work I use Windows and at home I'm Mac user. I prefer to use Mac, but it wont talk to my smart phone without a patch that you have to purchase. I have been talking for months with my sales rep about how excited I was about the iphone, but when I went to purchase one, I was told no. No business accounts-absolutly! I got the canned explination and was so disipointed. I mean Apple has'nt let me down this bad since the eighties. I will be more than happy to get the phone on a personal account. I will be even more happy to let the other ten executives and the President of our company know that they must do the same the same. They will be pissed. My guys in the field have been complaining about dropped calls and have been asking me to migrate over to Verison. If we have to start expensing 10 or so phones just so Apple can dictate who can and can not buy them. Maybe it's time for a change. Way to go Steve, you found a way to balance the market instead of control it. I wonder if AT&T will miss the 100K a year we spend on wireless communication. And congratulations on the time machine. I'm a big fan of eighties music.
I'm waiting til year's end to see if any other carriers (T-Mobile? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!) will get the iPhone. From what I hear, ATT/Stinkular just blows donkey you know whats. Plus, an Apple Store grommet told me the other day that Apple and ATT's exclusive iPhone partnering was inked only thru December '07, so I'm holding out.
to T.L. Cotote:
AT&T and Apple have an exclusive 5 year agreement, so T-Mobile will not be carrying the phone by years' end.
I've been with Pac Bell, SBC, Cingular and now AT&T for 10 years. I just started a business and they have botched up our account with 10 lines such that we got a bill for $3,000 for one month when they messed up our setup. After that, I had to fight with my partners to keep our phones with them.
When I found out that they weren't letting people buy the iPhones for use with their business accounts, I was devastated. I wanted the phone bad enough that I bought one anyways. (The phone is the coolest thing I've ever seen so it was worth all of it.)
However, after reading these posts, I think the whole thing is a scam. I agree with the other contributors here as AT&T practices here seem to have very unfair intentions. They decided that they could get people to pay for additional lines or accounts, which is unnecessary and greedy.
They ultimately will lose a lot of business within commercial accounts when people get upset and move away from AT&T.
Apple, too, is short-sighted here with this deal as it will severely restrict their ability to penetrate the business world, where it could have captured a lot of Windows users. I hope that they will see this and help to fix the problem.
this was on the iphone front page..I wonder who they are planning on selling this to:

"Serious Business Apps Arriving for iPhone"
According to David Needle (internetnews.com), customers of NetSuite's "on-demand, integrated business management applications" are already using iPhone to take advantage of its web-based services. It was "Apple putting Safari on the iPhone [that] made it a simple process" for the company to extend service to iPhone customers, says Sean Rollings, NetSuite's senior director of product marketing. Using the built-in Safari browser, says Rollings, " 'salespeople will be able to get a lot of their work done on an iPhone. You have the ability to check inventory for the availability of a product and get an answer in real time.'"
UNBELIEVABLE….!!! How can you market a phone with integrated mail at $500 to $600 and think it is used by 12 year old kids???
I specifically told the person in the Apple store that the iPhone was to be used with a corporate account – and that I do not get the bills myself. He said that I would just need the corporate account password when I activated the phone on iTunes….!!!
I am NOT going to return my phone and I am NOT going to get a new number. I guess Apple has made their money but AT&T makes their money with the 2 year contract you have to have (however, when I do not activate it I do not pay AT&T anything….. I just LOVE that and I recommend anyone else to do the same).
If the AT&T person who came up with this "no business accounts allowed" still has a job at AT&T I am surprised…!!!
IF AT&T do not feel that they would make enough money due to the price for the iPhone which is bought at an Apple store (could be that they have to pay Apple $200-300 for each new customer to keep the phones "this cheap"… like all other phones) well just CHARGE $10 - $20 per iPhone connected on a business account….. but do not make it IMPOSSIBLE to use as a business phone…. I really hope that AT&T has got some heat over this.
I am looking forward to the day where AT&T will release this to businesses…. Yet another reason why I will NOT sign for a 2 year contract…… I will rather use it as a paper weight than pay AT&T for conducting business this way!!! Finally, sign me up for the law suit!
you should return it on spite and then buy it again when they release it for biz
i called AT&T and they said very soon - then I went to the store for and the guy said never - go figure
it really cant compete against the blackberry - they are too feature rich.
I got my iPhone this wednesday, told the salesperson about the business account and said it would be no problem. Of course, that is not the case so now I have a brick. That, or I get to pay $60 per month for service I already have. I used the apple.com comment page for iPhone and informed them I intend to return the phone and will not be paying the 10% restock as I was mislead by the store employee.
I could say this is a colossal error, or point to greed in the wireless marketplace, but its just business as usual. Don't support them and they will have to alter their practices.
They will have to fix this sooner or later or face a class action lawsuit. Something's gotta give
do a search for hack the iphone - there is a hack out there to use it on business acct
go to this website and follow instructions -http://www.hacktheiphone.com/iphone_using_cingular_sim.html
I did it and it works!
To hack the iPhone do you need a Mac computer?
yes so far...any mac - the only thing is theres no you tube and no video voicemail - those have to be unlocked by at and t. (so far) phone and everything works perfectly
email works over wi-fi but not so good over edge. Safari works over edge or wifi. Its not perfect but were moving in the right direction. This is just the first wave of cracks. I am certain in the next few weeks these guys will figure out the rest. Just be patient. It was worth the effort to make calls on the iphone using a business number just to say FU to AT&T
also its a great excuse to switch to mac-LOL I did a few months and they're awesome.
I have an iphone that we purchased thru a personal acct. the owner had at the time, now we have moved all of our lines to a business acct. but can't move the iphone because it is already activated; I could use the hack Jordan listed above, but, how do I do it since I already have an activated iphone? I DO have another sim I can use from a line already on the business account, but, what do I do with the line that belongs to Iphone? can i assign that number to another phone and then transfer to business?
cancel the iphone line...go into itunes and back everything up. once you do that hold down the home and the button on the top right for 25 seconds. That will hard reset the iphone back to its original state and then you can do the hack with an alternate sim
you have 30 days to cancel I believe - I would ge right on that
safari over wifi definitly works
there are 2 reasons:
1) AT&T are greedy fucks. They have to pay apple $9 per month for each new iphone customer and they dont want to do that plus discount the line. You know, air is very expensive.
2) They are concerned about being compared to a Blackberry or Windows Mobile device. I have a Blackberry also and as much as the iphone is cool, its a toy compared to the Blackberry. It has 1/10th of the functionality of the Blackberry Curve. But its got crazy icandy which is why everyone wants it. If the interface wasnt so freaking cool - the phone would suck. I mean think about it, no voice dialing, no speed dials, to ADP2 bluetooth support, slow EDGE data, No MMS, No support for corporate email etc. Its awesome but lets be honest, its limited at this time. In the future, who knows it may be better for right now, its not really useful for mobile professionals. That being said, it should be MY choice if I want to deal with its shortcomings, not AT&Ts
i work for at& t...and no there will be no other carriers having the iphone, so too bad. second of all this is not at&t's policy it was an apple stipulation. so blame them!
Yeah and and when I called Apple they say its an AT&T stipulation....both companies are full of shit
Sorry, but this is absolutely NOT an Apple decision. This is all ATT.
ATT figures that the overwhelming demand for the iPhone will cause business people to say "f*** it", and just open a new ATT personal account to be able to use the beautiful shiny new iPhone. That way ATT keeps its existing corporate accounts for all those folks, and gets tens of thousands of new personal plans. Those new plans are most likely high-minute plans as well, because business users burn a lot of on-peak minutes.
ATT is benefiting from the huge demand created by Apple...Apple's getting screwed. ATT gets the best of both worlds, but pisses a lot of people off in the process. As soon as there is a hack to unlock the iPhone I'm moving my entire $10,000 per month ATT business account to another provider. F*** ATT!
does yahoo mail work over edge? I was having a lot of issues with that
still trying to understand how to activate the iphone with a business account. I understand the hack page but how do you actually activate the phone at registration with itunes? Also, what about a data plan? What do I have to sign up for (since AT&T will not allow you to use the iphone with a business acount?
you dont register it with itunes - the hack bypasses the itunes registration. Your business number will work but some of the other functions don't work as of yet but you can make calls and use the ipod.
yes wifi and edge work however Youtube, yahoo email and visual voicemail dont -
Thanks for consistent feedback.
I read that the most recent update for the iphone deletes any hacks and third party programs on it. Is this true? Do you download the new itunes programs when they are released? Also, does maps work on the iphone? You mentioned that youtube, yahoo email and visual voicemail don't.
thanks again!
so your friend purchased an iPhone, activated it under a consumer account, then was able to switch it back to a corporate account? so his phone plan is now being paid for by his company?
i am just trying to understand because i just called at&t and they said the only way this was possible was if you had a personal account with a business affiliation...which is just a fancy way of saying that the consumer still pays for their own phone bill...
can you possibly give a bit more info on what happened with your friend so we can all possibly do the same?
thanks for your post!
Yep, AT&T not only has sucky customer service, they are anti-competition. So is apple.
PLEASE complain to your state public utilities commission. They are required to actually take complaints into consideration, and could do some rule-making. Copy your state's attorney general, and the FCC, too.
One more thing: there is a law that says all new mobile technology is supposed to be accessible to people with disabilities. There is NO workaround for visually different people on the iPhone. Which really sucks. And it also grounds for a class-action suit.
look on ebay - there are a lot of sim free iphones available now. Its a little more $ but this way AT&T gets screwed.
Problem solved - I found a great guy on ebay who has the ability to modify the iphone to use with any sim including AT&T business and get all the features besides visual voicemail. I just bought one and everything works flawlwssly. email him at email@example.com
Bloody ridiculous. I received an iPhone as a prize. Setup was a breeze. BUT, can't use my SIM card (trip to an AT&T store for one) and I'm on 40 minutes and counting with AT&T to convert a chunk of our company plan to a family plan... same minutes, same cost, only now I can activate an iPhone. As a nice bonus, we lose several thousand rollover minutes as part of the conversion.
Why Apple didn't just sell this as an unlocked phone and skip the carrier bureaucracy is mind boggling. This is the most ridiculous set of hurdles yet with AT&T.
I just got my iphone today. I found out about the business thing later. I bet it isn't long until they change it.
If they don't, I am going to throw the phone through the
apple store window and in the girls ass who sold it to me
I am hearing rumblings as of this morning(sept 19) that it will be available via att business channels starting sometime early oct. I hope this turns out to be true as I WILL NOT CONVERT to a personal acct, not only is it a matter of principle but my business is 100% mac only and I will not be punished for operating a small business, after much debate with many other small business/att customers it seems that both apple and att are responsible for this shit and no one seems to really care from either company
I bought mine on ebay hardware and software unlocked - I have the unlocking software - anyone who needs it feel free to contact me email@example.com
It works with my AT&T biz sim. I use the blackberry during the day for work and switch it to the iphone at night and on weekends. The iphone is really cool but not good if you are on the road for work.
Also don't count on them changing the no biz rule- this is NOT a biz phone. Yes it looks cool and the thing has more Icandy than you can imagine but biz functionality-wise it sucks compared to the blackberry.
one word my friend - greed. Biz accounts get a discount, personals don't.
Astonishing! That word comes to mind after purchasing 3 i-phones from an AT&T company store in Phoenix. The AT&T rep was very helpful in selling the phones changing my service plan to accomodate the i-Phone. I was told to go home and it would be easy to activate the phones. Wrong. The website informed me that my "account" was not available to have an i-phone. Why? Because AT&T and Apple have determined it is in their interest to discrimate against small business. Although I have had a AT&T, then Cingular, now AT&T account for 10 years and stayed with them though serious service problems - they are acting like they don't know me. They want me to open a new account - a new credit check and give them a deposit. AT&T is very stupid given the overall level of customer dissatisfaction and churn in their business. Good-bye.
Just joined the pissed off club ! Damn it! Didn't think ATT could be that stupid. Of course, no mention at the mac store today when i told them I would be using the phone for business travel.
It's October 15 and no change yet. Should I hack or not?
I've been on hold 28 minutes now waiting for a manager to speak to just for my edification.
Make sure its not a firmware 1.1.1 phone - can't hack the sim to use the biz acccount yet-
Pissed off!! I am a teacher so not stupid but I thought I did my homework. I had been reading everything on could in the newspapers and even know one person who bought the iPhone and loves it. My husband, editor for a trade magazine, travels a lot. They have AT&T service and I checked on the website for information. It said as an existing customer, he would only have to pay an additional $20/month. I thought I FINALLY got a PERFECT gift for him--knowing he doesn't need anymore ties.
I couldn't be MORE WRONG. He has spent hours with his IT guy and now has spent another couple of hours with AT&T to only find that he would have to start a NEW personal account for TWO years--a CREDIT CHECK, deposit, etc. He's not a techie. What if it turns out not to be the right phone for him? He would be stuck.
Well, Monday, I return the iPhone. I may have to pay for the re-stocking fee but I am keeping the receipt. Add me to your Class Action Lawsuit. I am super-pissed!
As I said, he is the Executive Editor of a world-wide trade magazine. He is getting the word out to his staff not to purchase an iPhone and I am encouraging him to put a little blurb in his editorial on how Mac & AT&T are out to screw you. Don't fall for their scam!
My question to Mac: "What would it have taken to be honest and put out a disclaimer stating 'Not available for use by AT&T Business customers." They would've saved themselves a lot of customers...and money.
He might not need a tie next year but it sure is worth a laugh--not the headache & grief I've just experienced this year. I will spread the word.
Just went through the same problems with not being able to get the iphone with a business account. Was told today by business account rep that AT&T is currently negotiating with Apple for release of iphone to business account customers. Says it could be in a month or two, but that there are really no guarantees at this point as to if and when it will occur.
Count me as another fool who bought the iPhone to use with a business account. What an unbelievable ordeal I have been through. I did so much research before I bought but missed this one huge issue. I am screwed. My cellphone is used primarily for business and they gladly pay for it at work. Unfortunately, Apple and AT&T just don't want the sale or the account. Looks like re-stock and a Blackberry are in the cards for me this week. Apple sucks.
Tiffy, where did you get this printout, and more importantly, were you able to successfully activate the phone under a biz acct?
Hello apple,
I want to use some payment method in my iphone application, means when user will download my application i'll charge for that, but how can i take payment through user.
Is there any merchant facilities available for iphone application by using that i can charge for my application, please inform me this as soon as possible.
iPhone for 500$http://laweekly.backpage.com/ElectronicsForSale/500forsaleappleiphone3gs_32gb/classifieds/ViewAd?oid=4815096
Apple does not want to deal with the security flaws that are currently found in the Iphone. Apple controls the consumer market while RIM Blackberry serves the business marketplace. It will continue to be this way for a long time. Apple never really geared there products towards business people.
The name of the game is personal liability. AT&T and, by proxy, Apple don't want to be out on a limb with fly-by-night companies having fleets of iPhones out there on tenuous contracts without a single name attached to any of them. They can recover from individuals eventually (i.e., destroy their credit for years), but is more costly and ultimately not worth it to go after companies in receivership or ones belly up.
But I think, too, they were really banking on the new personal accounts as well. Both motives stink. Jail breaking is the only answer. Buy your phone overseas (except China) and put it on any SIM in the world. I live in a country without real 3G yet, so the 2G is a perfect phone for me. I purchase 30 hours of Edge airtime per month for 3$ US, and use the phone the rest of the time on Wi-Fi at work and home. I don't think I would buy an iPhone with an exclusive contract, either in the states or overseas.
Unfair credit agreements? Some aren't unfair at all but its worth checking. Good article though
I have a preview from the Paris Hilton video on my site. To bad it got relased onto the net for everyone to look at. She did not want it to be public as it was her ex Rick Salomon that lost it.

See iPhone in action.Watch Video
Architecture in motion
For most businesses, the term "currency" refers to financial resources. But at international architecture firm RTKL, currency is synonymous with the companys wealth of innovative design ideas. With offices from Baltimore to Shanghai and award-winning projects spanning six continents, unlimited communication is key to keeping the firms intellectual capital flowing. Thats where iPhone comes in.
"Our culture is based on visual information," explains RTKL Vice President Thom McKay. "And iPhone allows us to exchange that information, that visual currency, with a level of immediacy that we didnt have only a few short years ago."
iPhone enables RTKLs architects, designers, engineers and other staff to share detailed visuals and build on each others ideas, even when team members are literally oceans apart.
With iPhone, says McKay, "were not just faxing or sending PDFs. Were actually collaborating across the devices — across cultures, across geographies, across time zones — with great ease and facility. For contacts, calendars and e-mail, its all there. By combining these things into a single handheld device, iPhone has made many people happy."
Demystifying Deployment
So far, RTKL has deployed iPhone to approximately 450 staff members — about half of the companys global workforce. Configuring the phone to work with the firms existing systems was "a no-brainer," says Ardie Aliandust, CIO and Vice President of Technology.
"From the IT standpoint, our integration with Exchange was really simple," he says. "Almost a non-event. We were able to integrate iPhone into our corporate network seamlessly, not only for voice calling and web access, but also to access many of our internal information resources."
Via a VPN connection to the RTKL intranet, staff can take advantage of corporate resources such as a digital image bank of more than 15,000 images. "Having access to our digital image bank has been extremely helpful, especially because I travel so much," notes McKay. "I can review campaigns, photographer portfolios or ad mock-ups while Im travelling. iPhone has made it extremely easy to do that."
Building New Ideas
In a business based on visual interchange, its essential to find resources that facilitate the flow of ideas and inspirations. One advantage of iPhone, says RTKL Vice President Katie Sprague, is that it gives them a flexible, expandable toolkit for creative collaboration.
"We all knew that the way our business worked would fit seamlessly with how iPhone is organized," she says. "Each of us brings our own set of apps to meetings. I might want to look at colour palettes. I use myPANTONE, so I can pull things up then and there without having to bring all my chips with me."
With tens of thousands of inspiring apps to choose from, iPhone helps keep the creative conversation going at RTKL. "One of our senior designers downloaded SketchBook Mobile Express and was using it to kick around ideas on a project," McKay recalls. "It was just wonderful to see him sketching with his fingertip on ideas for this new museum weve been working on."
iPhone apps also simplify international business travel for RTKL staff. "I like to use FlightTrack Pro to see what's up with my flights," says Sprague. "Am I on time, am I delayed, what's going on with gate changes?"
Bringing Worlds Together
For the creative professionals at RTKL, one of the greatest benefits of iPhone is its ability to transmit and display rich visual information. "Virtually everything we do is based on a picture, an image, a drawing, a sketch, an animation," says McKay. "iPhone has been perfect for us because it allows us to exchange ideas and share sketches, PDFs and JPEGs. Its made communication easier and more immediate."
But iPhone doesnt just enhance the firms creative capital, Sprague adds: It also brings together a worlds worth of business information, from deadlines in Dubai to contacts in Chicago.
"Were a global firm, and iPhone is a global device," she says. "We truly are networked as a result. I'm really excited that the idea of creativity and business can live together. This tool thinks the way we think. It absolutely has changed the way we work."

|Gluten-free peach muffins baked with almond flour.
Juicy Peach Muffins
Today is Labor Day. And here I am working. Editing photographs of peach muffins and writing up a new gluten-free recipe. No rest for the wicked. Or the self-employed. We bloggers toil at our living daily, working through holidays and oftentimes, dinner. We tend and tweak and pretty much live a nerdy geek life. The opposite of glamorous.
Or maybe it's just me.
There are plenty of extroverted bloggers who travel and attend blogging conferences and hob nob. They dine together and smile brilliantly in group pictures, tweeting breathlessly their mutual squee. And I envy them. Sometimes. Just a little.
But alas, the simple truth is, it is not meant to be. I am destined, you see, to the role of wallflower and geek girl. Because the mere, fleeting snippet of a thought about flying somewhere alone, which, you know, entails the whole going through various x-ray machines and raising your arms for people wielding wands, not to mention, taking one's shoes off and rushing to put them back on so that the person (make that seventeen persons) behind you doesn't get impatient while you fumble with your buckles and your unzipped purse and boarding pass and explain to the squinting security guy that the mystery wad of metal in your bag's side pocket is only dimes and quarters you collect for Santa Monica parking meters as he picks out all thirty-seven coins just to make sure and for good measure keeps your nail clippers (in all the excitement, you didn't confess you were also carrying nail clippers). Thank goddess you packed the vibrator in your checked luggage.
And then there's the whole belting yourself into a hulking metal beast with wings that weighs goddess knows how many megatons, and snugging your pelvis to a polyester burnt orange float-able seat cushion between a shiny headed businessman who obviously ate raw onions for lunch and college professor reading the New York Times who you know secretly wants to discuss Obama's Afghanistan policy. Where is Dr. Jack Shephard when you need him?
Such visions send spikes of fear and loathing down my duodenal canal.
So I imagine muffins.
I fondle peaches at the market admiring their curve and fuzz. I peel them gently and coax out the stone pit. I slice them into jewels that will fit on the tongue and give up a burst of sweet tart juice. I stir almond meal into powder soft flours and squeeze lime juice and sprinkle cinnamon.
I bake.
|Peaches and almond flour are a match made in heaven.
Peach Muffins with Almond Flour Recipe
By Karina Allrich September 2010.
Finely ground almond meal is a lovely gluten-free flour that is subtly sweet and fragrant. If you prefer to use a different g-free flour, substitute the one and one thirds cup of almond flour with your favorite all-purpose gluten-free flour mix.

Bake in the center of a preheated oven for 23 to 25 minutes, until the tops are golden and firm to a gentle touch. A wooden pick inserted into the center should emerge clean.
Cool the muffin pan on a wire rack for five minutes. Pop the muffins out of the pan to continue cooling on the rack (don't cool them in the hot pan- they'll get soggy bottoms).
If by some chance, Babycakes, your muffins are soggy or slightly underdone-- due to unforeseen oven temperature variations-- place them back into the oven directly on the center rack for five minutes or so.
These babies are divine warm. And delicious thawed and fresh from the freezer. So wrap and freeze any leftover cooled muffins for future on-the-go treats.
Makes a baker's dozen.
GFG notes*
An option for the peaches- if you have the time- is to pre-cook them a bit in a pan with a dab of vegan butter, and a sprinkle of light brown sugar and tapioca starch. Stir the peaches till coated. Heat over medium heat until the peaches start to bubble a little around the edges. Turn the heat to low and cook for five minutes. This gives the peaches a head start in the baking department.
If you prefer using real eggs in your gluten-free baking, I recommend using two to three organic free-range egg whites, beaten till frothy. You'll need 1/4 cup liquid.
I use So Delicious coconut milk in a chilled carton- not the canned stuff. A good substitute- if you prefer one- is vanilla almond or soy milk, vanilla rice milk, or vanilla hemp milk.

How Did Leah Messer Meet Her Husband Jeremy Calvert?
Newlyweds Leah Messer and Jeremy Calvert are a match made in Teen Mom 2 heaven, and it's all thanks to everyone's favorite social networking site, Facebook.com.
Shortly after divorcing Corey Simms, the father of her twin girls, Leah got a random message from a cute guy named Jeremy. Turns out, Corey was their one friend in common — a little awkward, but certainly not a deal breaker.
After writing back and forth for a few days, Leah finally got up the courage to text him, saying simply, "Hey, it's Leah." Within seconds, Jeremy had written back asking what she was doing on Friday night. Ooh la la!
Leah was slightly nervous to meet her new Facebook friend, admitting that she'd never really "dated" before. But with a little encouragement from a pal, Leah finally said yes to a romantic go-karting rendezvous — and the rest, as they say, is Teen Mom history!
Now, Leah and Jeremy are happily married with a baby on the way. Do you think they'll last forever? Tell us below!

Arizona retailers are optimistic about holiday spending
WASHINGTON -- Holiday spending is expected to increase by 3.5 to 4 percent this year, as a rising number of consumers plan to spend more and fewer expect to pull back, according to a new national survey.
The survey by the Consumer Federation of America and the Credit Union National Association, released in advance of the biggest shopping day of the year, said consumer confidence is stronger than it has been in some years.
"People, apparently, are more prepared to spend because they see a somewhat brighter economic future," said Stephen Brobeck, executive director of the consumer federation.
"Since 2007, the percentage of those planning to increase their holiday spending has never been higher, and the percentage of those planning to reduce their spending has never been lower," Brobeck said Wednesday at the release of the groups' 13th annual shopping outlook.
Bill Hampel, chief economist at the credit union association, said the outlook is stronger than it has been in the last four years.
"It still doesn't suggest a booming holiday season, but a continued improvement from the last two years," Hampel said.
He said spending is expected to be "strongest in the South and weakest in the West."
But economists and retailers in Arizona said they are looking forward to strong holiday sales, with increases at least as great as the national average, if not more.
"My prediction would be more in the 5 percent range," said Dennis Hoffman, director of the L. William Seidman Research Institute at Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business.
Given the national numbers, Hoffman said his projections might be a little optimistic, but that the evidence he has seen so far suggests a strong season.
"I have been seeing retail growth in the 4 to 5 to 6 percent range for a reasonable amount of time," said Hoffman, who is tracking tax receipts daily to monitor consumer spending.
Optimistic or not, Hoffman's prediction was echoed Wednesday by the executive director of the Arizona Retailers Association.
"There may even be a 4 to 5 percent increase in consumer spending this year," said Michelle Ahlmer, the association director.
She said the holiday season is always good for retail, but the increased spending this year likely reflects an economy that is rebounding.
And Ahlmer said Arizona has another asset that other Western states might not enjoy.
"The one advantage here - we have absolutely wonderful weather," she said. "We get a lot of visitors during the holiday season and our sales are always higher."
Hoffman agreed that the "left (coast) being weak doesn't mean Arizona is weak." He conceded that the sales may have weakened for the fall because of uncertainty about the elections and the impending fiscal cliff, but it is not a sign of another recession.
"Five percent might be overly optimistic, but it may not be as low as 4 percent," Hoffman said.
At Changing Hands Bookstore in Tempe, owner Gayle Shanks was just as optimistic.
"I expect consumers to be spending more money this holiday," Shanks said. "Cash registers will be ringing in our store."
Shanks, who opened her bookstore in 1974, looks to each holiday season with excitement, both for the increase in sales and the chance to see winter customers who "return year after year."
"Even in down years, we did better during the holiday season," Shanks said Wednesday.
The report, "Holiday Spending 2012," is based on a Nov. 9-13 telephone survey of 1,012 people who were asked whether they intended to spend more, about the same, or less than last year. It also asked for their concern over debt, credit card payments and other questions.
Nationally, 12 percent said they expected to spend more, up from 8 percent last year, while 38 percent said they would spend less, down from 41 percent a year ago.

Wartime wardrobes come to Peacetime Pickering!
A glorious Autumn morning greeted my family last weekend. A buzz of excitement filled the house as the kids remembered that today we had woken up in 1945….
Once a year, the small and discreet market town of Pickering, on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors in England, plays host to a unique event. For 72 hours, the town is transformed into what can only be described as the embodiment of V.E. Day.
The children donned their gas masks (literally!) and I spent a good 30 minutes cursing the woman on YouTube who had demonstrated how to turn my lank mop of mummyish style-free hair into a passable version of Vivienne Leigh. Is it my 21st century hair products and their awesome smoothing effects or am I just crap at this? I could have done with putting my hands on backwards and washing my hair in authentic carbolic soap, but I somehow overcame the struggle and wrestled my mane into a Victory Roll.
I stepped from the bathroom to find my hubby dressed as a comedy Frenchman. "No, dear, I am from the British Army in North Africa, so the man in the costume shop said. " (Chortle). He reciprocated by almost falling over backwards when he saw my red Jane Russell lipstick. Laughter, I explained, was not an option due to severe smudging hazard…
We arrived, feeling somewhat self-conscious amongst the 21st century suburban housing and modern vehicles as we parked the car, but we need not have worried. As we turned the corner we were met with a fabulous sight… the town was abuzz with banjo players, steam trains, spontaneous tea dances and vintage clothing.
A parade was just about to begin, so we sought a good vantage point for our two evacuee children and settled in to watch. Jeeps, marching military bands, flapping headscarves and red lipstick, tanks and bicycles.
There were G.I.s and Tommys side by side, and the glorious blue of the RAF uniform brought a lump to my throat.
Our youngest son stood transfixed as we stumbled upon a 40s singer entertaining the crowds on the High Street. Couples were dancing the Foxtrot with authentic perfection.
A tug at my skirt brought me down to my son's enquiring face…..
"Mummy, will you and daddy do that please?" ……I wish we could, son. I wish we could.
A small boy was coining in the cash in an old box, simply by looking cute in his shorts & cap, standing on a home-made wood-and-tin-can scooter contraption.
The sun reliably cooperated all day as we munched on bacon 'butties' and browsed vintage clothing stalls.
The festivities spread much broader and longer than we had time for, but a return visit is certainly on the cards for 2012!
Oh, what a luvverly war!

The Serious Eats Guide To Pizza In Naples
A few months ago, my wife and I spent all of 24 hours in Naples on our way home from Sicily. It was probably the second-most pizza-packed 24 hours of my life (the first being when I took my Colombian brother-in-law on a whirlwind pizza tour of New York). We hit over a half dozen pizzerias over lunch alone, and a few more for dinner. Here now, I present to you the Serious Eats guide to Eating Pizza in Naples. More

If that is true about General Mattis being removed from his command than I'm truly troubled. For one I would follow that man to hell doused in gasoline with a stick of TNT up my a**. Also he is truly a leader who can give 2 sh*ts less about the political atmosphere because he understands his job is to lead Marines.
Commanders who are willing need troops who are willing and good luck finding a sizeable amount of those. Troops occupying a city, town, county, etc... And firing on Americans is a violation of the 3rd Amendment of the Constitution we swear to uphold and defend.

Why would that be so hard to believe?
Police do it all the time. No matter how it goes down they always claim the officer acted with in the parameters of department policy. Look at all the dog killings you guys have posted lately. How long till you are the dog. One generation, maybe two.
Have you ever heard the testimony from the fbi agent who infiltrated the Weather Underground back in it's infancy?
Those people run the US.
Why would you expect it be be any different on the federal level.
I would have no problem believing it's the truth. And as I just got the same information in an email from teaparty.org, my confidence factor goes up /\
For the past decade, instead of the usual M-29 silhouettes and thug-with-knife-or-pistol, my practice targets have been LEO in uniform, SWAT in riot gear and blue helmets. Adding olive-drab and camo to the mix won't be a problem.
DON'T FORGET EL PRESIDENTE and the MOZAMBIQUE DRILL.
the administration has been purging "old thinkers" from the commands for four years.
replacing them with "more professional" leaders. these more professional leadership is just a buzzword for "friend of obamma".
obamma is covering his ass. he may be thinking something like a takeover by the military is in the works so he keeps juggling the leadership spots around .
typical third world thinking.
sounds like kenya don't it?
