Wow, so it's clearly AT&T that's doing the refurbishing and not Apple -- no way they'd allow such horrible packaging even on a refurb!
Unboxing: 8 GB Refurb iPhone from AT&T
I'm sure you may have heard horror stories about refurbished iPhones, specifically those from AT&T. Some of the first batch of refurbished iPhones reportedly came with face grease and scratches, others were already even jailbroken--the issues kept getting more and more outlandish and I began to wonder where the truth lied.
Well after we reported the $249/8gb $349/16gb deal here at TiPb, I just had to see them for myself. I managed to purchase a 8gb version before it sold out that same day and eagerly anticipated its arrival.
Though I already have an 8gb iPhone and before you all tar and feather me for being unaware of the imminent release of the 3G iPhone, I figured that an iPhone, no matter when, where, or how, makes a great gift for a special someone. And in the case that they deny the gift, it's a good way to make a quick buck by simply unlocking & jailbreaking to those poor, poor souls who live in a country with no current 'official' iPhone. And if I received one that was in terrible condition, well I would have struck story gold! So it's a win-win-win, well unless the 3G iPhone does really come out for a subsidized $199, then I might cry.
Read on for the Rest of the Story & Pictures!
To give you a quick summary of the purchase, I bought the iPhone around 1:00 PM Pacific Time on Wednesday through AT&T's website and promptly received a confirmation number. Thursday afternoon I received notice that my iPhone was already being shipped by DHL (which, by the way, has a great feature that update the status of your package via SMS or e-mail). After receiving silly updates over the weekend and seeing the package ship from Texas->Ohio->California (not my first route choice), I promptly received the iPhone Monday morning at 9:40 AM.
It arrived in a very unremarkable cardboard box that weighed much less than I originally remember my first iPhone weighing. After removing the contents from the box, I found the weirdest of sights. An Apple Product in a carrier-branded box. Complete with the company's orange and blue, the box screamed AT&T and you would never imagine that there was an iPhone in there.
The packaging was also very anti-Apple, with the use of Styrofoam and careless placement of accessories. It seemed like the earphones and pamphlet didn't have a slot in the Styrofoam packaging so it was just placed on top of everything. Whatever I thought, I was already wowed by the original packaging of the iPhone but was hopeful to see if it came in one of those white boxes that other refurbished iPhones have been boxed in.
I carefully examined the iPhone and its accessories and well, it suffices to say, I didn't get to tell one of those crazy, outlandish stories. The iPhone was in flawless condition and doesn't even look like it has been used. The screen feels great and the back is unscathed. However, some of the accessories do have some wear on them, the USB cable has a few marks and scratches on it and the other accessories don't look BRAND NEW, but definitely new enough and most importantly, all are in perfect working condition.
The iPhone functions perfectly too. I quickly jailbreaked it to see if everything was functioning and sync'd it a couple times and well, everything turned out fine. So in all, next time there is a refurbished deal for the iPhone, whether it be through AT&T or Apple, fear not! The iPhone works perfectly, looks flawless, and you'll have a great toy to play with for the rest of eternity (or until the next one comes out).

Unboxing: 8 GB Refurb iPhone from AT&T
Let's see, Jobs and Ive spend hours pouring over packaging, making the unboxing experience relevant and intoxicating, and wrapping their tech as well as they engineer it.
Wanna bet AT&T didn't spend 3 seconds on that?
So, did you find any confidential information on the refurb?
Most importantly, how's the battery life?? (I assume that "refurb" doesn't mean "we put a new battery in it for you" ...) Or does it?
when buying those refurbished iPhones from AT&T, do you really HAVE to activate the iPhone through iTunes and sign a 2-years contract with AT&T?
'cause I've been hearing that if you purchase the iPhone from AT&T and you do not activate the iPhone within a certain period, they would immediately put you in a plan and start deducting the fees of the plan every month from the credit card you purchased the iPhone from. Is that true?

Thanks! I do love behindthename.com, but I don't know if all the names in the top 100 are considered fashionable. I certainly like lots of them, but I'm sure that someone from a country that doesn't speak English could look at the American top 100 and think that Nevaeh is something everyone considers pretty.

Apple faces fine and temporary closure in Italy for not offering free two-year warranty
While Apple might be scoring major legal victories against Samsung in the U.S., authorities in Italy are threatening to impose a 300,000 euro fine and temporary closure of local operations if Apple doesn't offer a free two-year warranty on iPads, iPhones, and other products.
The Autorità garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato (AGCM, or the Guarantor Authority for Competition and Market) enforces the law which requires retailers to offer a free two-year warranty on electronics. Apple has already sucked up 900,000 euros in fines for not telling customers about their right to a free second, and instead try to up-sell them with the extended warranty. Even after that fine months ago, Apple hasn't changed their tune, and now the AGCM is threatening a closure of Apple operations in Italy for up to 30 days. In response, an Apple spokesperson has simply said "We have introduced a number of measures to address the Italian competition authority concerns and we disagree with their latest complaint."
This is vaguely reminiscent of what was going on in Australia and Apple's marketing of the new iPad as 4G (despite it being incompatible with LTE networks). It's a given that Apple will fight government impositions that could limit their profitability, but there comes a point where it's hard to argue with the lawmakers. It's great that Italy's government has consumer interests at the forefront, and that they're willing to protect them even if it's at the cost of Apple's goodwill. It's worth noting that Apple's customer care tends to be above and beyond what you normally get from electronics manufacturers, so I could see how the costs associated with that care might not allow Apple to offer basic warranty beyond the first year.
Any Italian readers in the house? How have you found Apple care? Has the lack of two-year warranty really stung? Those of you elsewhere, wouldn't it be nice if we got a two-year warranty without having to pay more?

Apple faces fine and temporary closure in Italy for not offering free two-year warranty
On the surface, yes, that makes sense. *BUT* can you and I say "Let's make our own phones with a built-in two year contract to compete?" All these patents, and liscensing make the cost of entry too high for a "garage startup", so Apple, Google (Android, as search can get competition), Microsoft, and RIM aren't in the "free market". So the government would be right in getting in the way here.
My 2 cents (shortened since this isn't a political blog).
I'll also add that Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile wouldn't have competition without the government. MetroPCS, Cricket, and so on are only there because the government said "We gave you (the big 4) tax breaks to expand, and you guys padded your wallets, so you have to allow 3rd parties in" or something like that.
Apple does offer the two year warranty. It's the law there. The conflict is over whether Apple tells anyone about it and still advertises apple care as if it's just one year.
I suppose the issue is does paying for applecare offer more than what Italy requires in a basic warranty. I also don't know if this is applecare PLUS which also is a type of insurance.
It's the consumers responsibility to be informed. If you buy something you don't need because you didn't do your homework that isn't Apples fault, it's yours. Of course I do believe that Apple should be honest about it's intentions and inform the consumer (even though they should already know) that they already have a 2 year warranty!
I am European and the two year warranty is the law in all of the EU. Italy is just enforcing a European directive regarding the two year warranty just like all other European countries do.
Furthermore Italy and most of the EU countries are very focused on consumers and consumer rights, and as an EU citizen this suits me fine. And all it requires it proof of purchase. :)
FYI I own several Apple products and have been lucky enough not to ever need any Apple support over the years.
I am Italian.
The problem is that, according to the EU, the warranty on electronic products IS two years. Everytime you buy an apple product the clerk suggests you to buy the Apple Care services claiming that the warranty only lasts one year. That is false advertising. Moreover if your product is more than one year old (but less than two) at the Apple Stores they try to make you pay for the repairs. Again, you are paying for something that you have already paid for when you bough the product.
That said, Apple customer service is probably the best on the market but that doesn't mean thay can lie to unaware customers (wich are the majority) to break a EU law.
Italy's warranty programs are among the worst in the world. I know--because my parents always complain about trying to get appliances repaired. Many repair providers either don't have the tools/parts or expertise to repair them. Personally, I purchased a couple of defective shirts from one of their retail stores and couldn't exchange them because the package was already opened--store policy. The Italians are good at making non-Italian companies provide the type of services/warranties that their own will never provide. Besides, it knows Apple is an American company that should be taken advantage of--at all costs. For my Italian friends--ma quanto siete furbi!!

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
And this my disagrement with your view. When I ask you if walking is edifying God you say that's neutral. But if it's about a joint you suddenly speak about pleasing the Adam.
There is more in life that constantly praying. Doesn't God allow us to relax once in a while?
So isn't that excatly what I wrote before?It's not the joint but the sin. Food isn't a sin. But if it turns glottonous then it is.
Doesn't say exactly what I said. Being drunk is no problem. But if you start doing unlawful things then things become a problem.
Sure but that can be said about anything. But in this thread Willie asked if a joint is sinful; and that's what I talking about.And a fully agree with willie: NO!
When reading your reply sometimes I get the idea you have no clue about what I'm trying to say.
There is absolutely no sin in many things like food, alcohol and drugs.But if it in some way makes the user loose control and start doing things God has forbidden then the effect is clearly wrong.And even if you are still not sinning in any way when being totally stoned it's no good idea to be stoned 'whole your life' because then you have no time left to worship God and you basicly only please the Adam.But pleasing the Adam, without sinning, once in a while is fine.Is that a summary you can agree on Seth?
It's not hard to determine what is an idol or not. Can you lay it down? No? Then it's an idol. Even that which is good can be an idol if you're unwilling or unable to lay it down. Gideon had to lay down both the cake (good) and the goat (bad) on the altar before God would use him to destroy the Midianites (means division or that which divides us from His Spirit).Man has many of them; fortunately for us, He does not make us lay them all down at once. Blessings...

Blessings...PS. NOT talking to ANYONE in particular.....
Except the part about being "stoned" as I see that being given over and submitting the mind to another authority.
And we may have a different idea of what "pleasing Adam" means.
But basically you got the gyst.
...being "stoned" as I see that being given over and submitting the mind to another authority.
Then it's wrong. That's also why I purposely added: "not sinning in any way"Some people are very harmless when stoned. They just laugh, sleep or sing
QuoteAnd we may have a different idea of what "pleasing Adam" means.For me it means giving over to earthly things. Sinful nature.
QuoteBut basically you got the gyst.Mods!!! Ban him. He's calling me Luke 12:1-ish Just kinding Seth.
Quote from: Seth on November 25, 2009, 08:50:26 PM...being "stoned" as I see that being given over and submitting the mind to another authority. I agree with this. Also the same about being drunk. We're explicitely instructed in several different passages to avoid this, that it is sin. Not so much a gray area as some of the discussion, IMO. Sort of a clear "line" we can cross. My
ive always thought it was, but as I began to revaluate my beliefs post and pre-universalism, I cant really come to any logical conclusion as to why, other than it can be harmful and addictive(but then again just about everything is potentially harmful and addictive...
why do we always single out weed and alcohal?).
But there are many Christians that feel smoking cigarettes is not a sin...and thats considerably more harmful . I mean how often do you hear of people dying from cigarettes? now think about marijuana? I really dont understand why marijuana isnt legal
conclusion, due to my upbringing, I feel that its more "bad" than alcohal, but logically and biblically Im not sure how it is any more bad, if not less.
It depends on who is using it. For some people who feel in their conscience that it is wrong, it would be sinful. But to certain others, it is not.It has been shown to have medicinal uses in the realm of pain management. And is legally prescribed for that purpose by some doctors. It's not illegal in every state. It is legal in Holland and perhaps other parts of Europe. Men can pass laws against anything they want to control, but that is not what makes a thing sinful.No, I don't smoke pot. But I would not judge/condemn someone who did.Anne
Is doing something illegal sinful?
Ok. But you said "But pleasing the Adam, without sinning, once in a while is fine." If "Giving over to the sinful nature" is what it means, then one cannot please Adam WITHOUT sinning. To me, pleasing Adam is submitting one's mind to that which lusts against the Spirit and desires to be led of another. Things both legal and illegal can fall into that category.
To make one last comment... I do not see basis for the word "bad" to be attached to marijuana at all...
Another try. It's ok to do things that please you, besides praying, that are not sinful.So if we have 3 catagories: 1-Worship, 2-having fun, 3-sin then ofcourse we should never be in catagory 3.But neither we should only be in catagory 2The only catagory where we can unlimitted time in is catagory 1So a good balance between 1 and 2 is needed.
Quote from: willieH on November 25, 2009, 10:00:30 PMTo make one last comment... I do not see basis for the word "bad" to be attached to marijuana at all...That's an interesting topic in and of itself. This is a "quick" reaction, a question/thought. Although almost anything has the potential to be abused and therefor become sin for us (golf for me, for instance, if I let the desire to play control me, come first in my life, get in the way of other things I should be attending to) - it seems to me there may be a few things that are more likely to be problematic than others. Alcohol for instance, in that in excess, it can chemically control our mind, and as Seth said, we would giving ourselves over to another authority - making us less able to control ourselves, our thought processes impaired, etc. For instance, there are SPECIFIC warnings in the scriptures about the over use of alcohol...some general mention of other excesses or whether something's profitable or not, but alcohol specifically addressed. I don't know of anything specific in which marijuana could be included, other than are there some things about "withcraft" or pharmacia (sp?) where mind/mood altering drugs could be included? Not trying to be too legalistic, but don't want to miss something important either. What do we think? Also, one I have trouble with and don't have figured out yet, I'm not to do anything that causes my brother to stumble - in effect, sacrificing my own desires and freedoms for the love of God and others? That may be a whole other thread, but I believe does tie in here.Thanks, James.
As I have first, second, and sometimes third hand knowledge of the subject, I see no reason why I should not be the first replier. (Damn, I wasn't the first.)
First of all, I do NOT believe it's a sin.It's a plant that has many MANY values, it's a fiber, it's a medicine, and it's an awesome way to relax. Now, I think it can be sinful, in the same way sex can be sinful, if you commit adultery for example, or, maybe that's not a good comparison. Food can be sinful, if you're a glutton. Video games can be sinful if that's all you do with your life, and you ignore more important things. (Family, job, etc.) Likewise, cannabis (Not MJ.) can be sinful if that's all you're living for. If that makes sense.
Now, there are two reasons mainstream Christians are opposed to cannabis, and it stems more from government propaganda than the Bible. First, they use the same verse (I can't remember it at the moment.) where Paul talks about not harming your own body, or something like that. (It's the main verse used against smoking tobacco also.) Most of the negative side effects of smoking cannabis are not true. Here's a great artical that says more than I ever could:http://hightimes.com/news/ht_admin/5508Now, there are some negative side effects with getting high. The worst is it messes with your short term memory. One time I got high, and I was trying to wash out the home-made bong I smoked out of. I don't really know how many times I washed it, because every time I got done, I'd forget what I was doing and wash it again. If that scares you, just don't smoke it.
The other argument against it by mainstream Christians is the fact that it is illegal. They have another verse written by Paul (I don't know this one ether, it might be in Romans.) which talks about obeying the laws that are placed above you. And to that, I have no argument unless someone can post the verse I'm talking about. 1 sec... Found it, Romans 13:1-5
Well, I think this page sums it up nicely:http://romans13.embassyofheaven.com/understanding.htmTherefore I see nothing wrong with smoking every once in a while. (Just don't get caught.)
In my youth I used marijuana OFTEN... matter of fact, in many cases -- daily!
In my later years, it is very seldom that I have used it (more about that later!).

The Bishop England baseball team placed two players, Zack Madden and Cameron Garrett, on the 2A all-state team, as voted on by the state coaches association. The Battling Bishops lost to Chesnee in the state championship series.
In 4A, no Wando players made the all-state team, but former Warrior Nick Ciuffo earned the Player of the Year honor. Ciuffo played for Wando his freshman and sophomore years before finishing his high school career with Lexington.
Ciuffo, who signed with South Carolina, is expected to be a late first-round selection in the upcoming MLB Draft in June. Most predictions place him in the low 20s pick range.
The Wando girls soccer team won the 4A state championship, concluding a dominating regular season and postseason. The Warriors did not allow a goal in the playoffs and topped J.L. Mann 2-0 in the title game.
The Moultrie News received a team photo after press time.
Bishop England
Ross Rogers and Mateo Gomez will represent the Battling Bishops in the North-South All-Star game in June at Blackbaud Stadium. Bishop England won the 2A state championship, giving coach Ed Khouri his 16th state title.
The Moultrie News received a team photo after press time.
The 43nd annual Sertoma Football Classic field is set, and East Cooper football teams have tough tests.
Bishop England, a two-time defending champion in 2A, will play two quarters against 4A foe Summerville, Aug. 23. In the previous Sertoma Classic, the Bishops played Stratford and were able to finally end the battle for starting quarterback.
The job went to Nick Theos, who played more confidently than Nick Herbst in the preseason scrimmage. Later in the season, Herbst took over for an injured Theos and led Bishop England to a state championship.
Both quarterbacks have graduated, as have standouts DeAngelo Stephenson, Griffie Loy, Drew Costa and Zach Richter, among others.
Wando, coming off its best regular season in program history, will play 2A perennial contender Hanahan for a pair of a quarters, Aug. 22. The Warriors lost its linebacker corps: Zach Dauscher, Babe Thomas, Stevie Wilson and Blaine Thompson. On the offensive end, Christian Hart, Nate Wright, Cameron Rouse and Casey Clawson are also gone to graduation.
Palmetto Christian Academy starts the string of Aug. 23 game with a scrimmage against Kingstree. With the exception of wide receivers Bayne Hirshman and Adam Graudin, the Eagles return most of its offensive weapons, including four-year quarterback starter J.T. Waters.
Defensively, Palmetto Christian must find alternatives to offset the losses of linebackers Conner Treece and Graham Blunt.
Sertoma is held at The Citadel's Johnson Hagood Stadium.

Penn Neurology provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for patients with epilepsy, seizure disorder and all seizure-associated symptoms including memory and mood problems. Our program is led by experienced Penn neurologists who are recognized leaders in the research, diagnosis, and medical and surgical treatments for epilepsy.
The Penn Epilepsy Center is recognized by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers (NAEC) as a Level 4 epilepsy center. Level 4 epilepsy centers have the professional expertise and facilities to provide the highest-level medical and surgical evaluation and treatment for patients with complex epilepsy.
What is a Seizure Disorder?
Seizure disorder is a general term used to describe any condition where seizures are a symptom. Seizures are characterized by abnormal electrical activity in the brain that affects physical and mental functioning.
There are two main types of seizures: generalized and partial. Generalized seizures involve the entire brain, while partial or focal seizures begin in one area of the brain.
What is Epilepsy?
Epilepsy is defined as a group of related disorders characterized by a tendency to suffer recurrent seizures. Seizures can occur at any time, and often without warning. In most people, seizures can be controlled with treatment and may go away entirely, in others, seizures continue despite treatment and may last a lifetime
The Penn Epilepsy Center
The Penn Epilepsy Center offers a comprehensive, individualized evaluation and a wide variety of surgical treatments particularly for patients whose epilepsy is difficult to manage. As a Level 4 epilepsy center, we have the expertise and facilities to provide the highest-level of medical and surgical evaluation and treatment for patients with epilepsy.
The center offers comprehensive evaluation for people who have experienced:
- Long-standing seizures that are not adequately controlled
- One or more seizures
- Unacceptable side effects from epilepsy treatments
- Unusual events that a physician believes may have been seizures
Diagnosing Epilepsy
Patients benefit from the most advanced, leading-edge diagnostic services and technology available, including:
- Ambulatory EEG
Patients take this device home for 24 to 48 hours to measure and record electrical activity in the brain
- Electroencephalography (EEG)
A non-invasive test that measures and records electrical activity in the brain. Our center is fully equipped with the most advanced digital EEG machines that can record up to 32 channels of data
- Epilepsy Monitoring Unit with Video electroencephalography (Video EEG)
The Epilepsy Monitoring Unit features a modern eight-bed unit with video EEG for the evaluation of individuals who are candidates for surgery and for differential diagnosis of "spells." Epilepsy patients are admitted for long-term monitoring (LTM) anywhere from 3 to 7 days and are typically weaned off of medications to see what the cause of the seizures are and where they originate. Some patients undergoing this treatment require intracranial electrode monitoring. A number of other diagnostic tools may be used including MRI, MEG, EEG, SPECT and PET to locate the origin of the seizures.
- Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
An imaging technique used to identify the parts of the brain that are essential for normal functioning
- ICU monitoring
The use of EEG to test for seizures in comatose patients
- Magnetoencephalography (MEG)
An imaging technique used to identify the areas of brain that are most likely to cause seizures. It is also used to identify parts of the brain that are necessary for normal functioning
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
An advanced imaging technique to see structural changes in the brain.
- Positron emission tomography (PET)
A nuclear imaging test that creates 3-D images of organs in the body
- Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)
A nuclear imaging test to show how blood flows to organs and tissues
Treating Epilepsy
We offer patients individualized treatment plans and comprehensive care from a team dedicated to this subspecialty. In addition we collaborate closely with specialists across multiple disciplines throughout Penn Medicine, including:
- Neuropsychology
- Neuroradiology
- Neurosurgery
- Nuclear medicine
- Psychiatry
- Psychosomatism
Treatment options for epilepsy and seizure disorder include:
- Antiepileptic medications
Twenty medications that are categorized into two types:
- Augment inhibition — Gaebergic anticonvulsants
- Medicines that reduce excitation — Anti-glutamatergic anticonvulsants
- Neuromodulation therapy
Advanced medical devices that work to elevate or suppress activity of the nervous system for the treatment of various diseases:
- Vagus nerve stimulator device
- Responsive neurostimulation device
- Neuropsychology
Neuropsychologists assess patients to identify and monitor mental, behavioral and emotional symptoms to plan the best treatment. They also provide referral to behavioral therapies to help patients and families better understand and cope with the psychological changes associated with epilepsy.
- Surgery
When performed by a qualified neurosurgeon on appropriately selected patients, epilepsy surgery often can eliminate seizures. Surgical treatment involves identifying and removing the tissue that is causing seizures without damaging normal function.
Types of epilepsy surgery include:
- Corpus callosotomy — A procedure that separates two halves of the brain down the middle. This is done to treat severe epilepsy causing tonic or atonic seizures.
- Implantation of neuromodulation device such as vagas nerve stimulator or responsive neurostimulator
- Intracranial monitoring — Electrodes are placed under the skull (called subdural electrodes). This is done when the origin of the seizure cannot be pinpointed just using electrodes on the scalp.
- Resective surgery
- Transorbital mesial temoral resection — A type of minimally invasive resective surgery unique to Penn.
- Visualase — MRI-guided stereotactic laser induced thermotherapy (done with a smaller incision and intraoperative MRI guided laser).
Research and Clinical Trials for Epilepsy
The Penn Epilepsy Center is known for its premier clinical research. Penn is developing biomarkers and new diagnostic tests — including neuromodulation development, surgeries, and devices for the treatment of epilepsy. We are proud to be one of the most innovative centers in the world that leads in basic science and novel therapies.
We offer patients the opportunity to participate in a range of clinical trials including:
- Advanced imaging
- Medications specifically for the treatment of seizure clusters
- New seizure notification devices
- New techniques for EEG monitoring and surgery
- New medications

Rated 5 out of 5Â by bohemianspirit LEO LOVIN!! ** I had been wanting my Leo tank for a long time and snagged it on the sale price online. I am so glad I did!!! The colors are amazing, it's soft, and a sturdy material. It does fit loose; I bought a small and I normally wear a medium or large. I am 5'7, size 6-8, 34DD and I definitely have enough room up top and it's not fitted through the waist, it's loose but not baggy, just very hippy bohemian. Again, I would size down, but everyone is different. I am so glad I got it! This would make a great gift for other free people gals!** 12.15.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Byrdie Hey Virgos! Very cute top. It has a loose fit and is cut a little low. It will be great layered over another top. The design really pops off the shirt. A wonderful piece to have. 11.21.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MarthaCarr summer favorite I love this tee! I got the pisces tee in a size small. I usually get a size medium because I have a bigger chest (34C), but I tried it on in the store and it was really loose even the small was roomy. However I got it anyways because the quality of the fabric is great, the design is beautiful, and even thought the top was a little big it hung well on my body. It is also a little sexy because it shows some of your bra on the sides. Overall no complaints. But if you are getting it online I do recommend going a size down. 8.6.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by TiffanyMichelle true to size These are so cute and true to size. The material is a nice durable cotton, although it is not too thick. It is perfect for the summer and cute to buy any tank so matter what your astro sign is. LOVE. 6.15.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by KIggy7 Cute Casual Top I'm not a Pisces, but it's my most compatible sign, so why not represent!! It's a cute casual top for a laid back time. Great with shorts or jeans, and my cropped leather jacket. Will be even better when it's warmer. 3.5.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by lcystratton Wrinkled in package I bought two of these shirts. The graphic is beautiful and the quality is nice, but they were so wrinkled in the packaging. I bought 2 smalls, and they are definitely more flowy tank tops. A very small girl would do well to size down. 3.4.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by minimalistpunk Stretched after first wash! I really liked it when I got it and wore it the first time. It was loose and comfortable. Material was okay. However, after washing it the first time, the straps really stretched out and they are now way too long to be worn. I am not sure how I can wear it anymore. Shame though because it was so cute! 2.13.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cher Virgo This tank is great! Super nice thick cotton, perfect sizing with just the right amount of room around the torso and shows a classy amount of cleavage. At this price I want to get my boyfriend's sign too! 2.13.2013

As previously announced, United Airlines today updated its iOS app with support for a new in-flight entertainment service available only to iPhone and iPad users. The service offers access to around 150 movies and 200 TV shows and is available free to users on select United Airlines flights.
The updated United Airlines app for iPhone and iPad is available now, but the service is limited to select flights as the airline works to install new hardware on its fleet. The service is also limited to users connected to United's WiFi network.
United notes you can check if your flight supports the service through "the Inflight Amenities tab on the united.com Flight Status & Information page, or check the Amenities section of the Flight Status Details screen in the United app within 24 hours of your flight departure." The new entertainment system will also be available to laptop users through a browser plugin, but it's initially limited to iPhone and iPad for mobile device users.
What's New in Version 2.0.13
– Entertainment, personalized
o United's new personal device entertainment service will be available on select aircraft.
o United app version 2.0.13 adds the required software to browse and watch select movies and TV shows on your mobile device when connected to the "United_Wi-Fi" network.
o To see if your flight offers personal device entertainment, go to the Inflight Amenities tab on the united.com Flight Status & Information page, or check the Amenities section of the Flight Status Details screen in the United app within 24 hours of your flight departure. (Amenities are subject to change until the time of departure.)

As user of economic class, I was satisfied if I could have a personal TV in long distance flights instead of a small screen between chairs….
Having had the "opportunity" to experience UA's personal device entertainment I have to say it is very disappointing. Flying from Hawaii the wi fi signal is frequently lost and passengers are unable to access the numerous movies and tv shows as advertised.When speaking to an agent in the United Lounge about the problems with "streaming" video, she referred to it as "screaming" video which is more accurate as passengers were screaming at poor flight attendants when the signals were lost.

Did Amanda Bynes Call Jay-Z "Ugly Face" on Twitter?
Something happened to Amanda Bynes's Twitter page. A lot of stuff has been deleted, whether because Amanda regretted posting it, or maybe her account was hacked.
Yesterday, her account tweeted a note called "Ugly face @S_C," which is Jay-Z's account, including a photo of Jay-Z. (Check out the tweet here, which was captured by some fans before she deleted it.)
That tweet is now gone, along with several others, but there's been no post saying anything like "My account was hacked!" or "My brain was hacked by alcohol!" or "Beyonce made me delete it!" or any explanation.
But Amanda did post some photos of herself, so there's that. Do you think she just tweeted-and-deleted for attention, or did someone tweet that without her approval?

If you haven't heard his name, at least take a few minutes to listen to William Fitzsimmons' music. The guy writes beautifully downcast songs in the same vein as Sufjan Stevens and Iron & Wine's Sam Beam. I talked to Fitzsimmons earlier this week about his current state of mind after going through some dark times. Here's an excerpt:
Last year, Fitzsimmons told National Public Radio he was looking forward to writing new material and moving on from that dark place in his life. Earlier this week … he said he's currently working on songs for a new album, which he hopes to release next year.
As you might expect, the process has been refreshing.
"It's a little different. It's nice, because I'm in a different place in my life than I was a few years ago, fortunately," Fitzsimmons said. "Things aren't quite as dark or as morbid, so writing the songs … I don't want to say it was fun, but it sure as hell was a lot more fun than it was before."
Fitzsimmons has been unveiling those new songs at shows over the past month. He describes them not as happy, but hopeful.
"I decided I kind of wanted to write about things that were more in the line of healing and restoration, sort of the polar opposite of what I was writing about before," he said. "So instead of things being destroyed, it was (about) things being mended and fixed and put back together. It feels good but it also feels right. It feels like it's where my head has been."
I hope you'll click here to read the whole thing.
Elsewhere in this week's music section, you'll find short stories on the fine, fuzz-pop band The Parson Red Heads at McMenamins Old St. Francis School, the three-day jazzstravaganza that is Jade's Jazz Festival in La Pine, and the Southern jam band Dangermuffin, who win the "hard worker" award for playing four shows in town over the next six days.
Plus: David Bromberg, Jena Rickards' CD-release show, Emma Hill and Her Gentlemen Callers, David Jacobs-Strain, Five Pint Mary and the Bend Fire Pipe and Drum Band, and an early heads-up on High Street playing a show to benefit Sisters schools.

always try to be the talent
Of course I don't read him, but judging by that profile, I get the impression that he doesn't particularly want people to read him, in the old-timey "move your gaze along lines of text to obtain propositional content" sense. Rather I think he wants everyone to kind of politely accept that there's blocks of print under those lovely graphs somebody else made and not look too deeply into it. You might find that profound emptiness in there. It's like that guy you know who wants to be a writer in the sense that he wants to do everything but write-- to have ink stains on his fingers and wear tweed and hang out at independent coffee shops and be known as a writer, but not to bother spending time at the keyboard. If Klein is a writer, he's a writer who hates words; I've never had much use for Ideas, myself. Klein has recently taken to showily eschewing the labels of liberal or progressive, but of course what he really wants is to be known as a progressive who doesn't want to be known as a progressive.
There are, to be sure, many things to object to both in the TNR profile and the general Klein phenomenon. He has that habit of believing entirely contradictory things that is common to the professionally bland. He claims that he is a stoic empiricist, yet lionizes David Brooks, a man who simply invents facts about the world around him and uses them to justify all manner of policies. (Pro tip: empiricists are people who undertake empiricism, not those who just read empirical reports, or read the abstracts, or have their younger, brighter researchers read them.) He claims to operate from a pragmatic belief in the power of good governance, but famously brought Paul Ryan to manual release because of his intellectual bona fides; never mind that Ryan is a man who would like very much to defund government to the point that the average American city looks something like the Vietnam of Full Metal Jacket. Like all of those bright young things, he supported the Iraq war when it was polite to do so, then pivoted, effortlessly, to opposing it, once that became the fashion. Here is a man who has developed every conviction as if, well, as if he would one day have them presented in a profile for TNR. And he complains that we care too much about personality in politics while participating in a puff piece where he asserts the importance of wearing jeans to his personal brand. 28 is a little young to want to be the cool dad, Ezra.
Yet I am, in fact, quite like Klein in one sense: I too believe in the power of systems over the power of personality. For as much as you likely have heard that I dislike so-and-so personally, I have always (always) grounded my critiques of the DC koffee klatsch in the notion that social capture is systematic to elite media, and if I lived in a different age, I'd complain about reporters at press clubs instead. Let me be plain: all of the profound failings of what Ezra Klein is have very little to do with who Ezra Klein is. Klein is just a doofus with good enough looks to appear on cable. The profoundly ossified world of professional blogging is not the way it is because Ezra Klein lacks personal virtue. It is the way it is because of structural and material realities in the age of American decline, the combination of self-perpetuating familial success and the mythology of meritocracy and the inoffensiveness of whiteness and that peculiar notion of likability-- which always seems to attach to the people who already have everything going for them. They all congeal, until suddenly, you've got the President's ear. I'm saying: if I thought that the problem was that the boys on top weren't good enough dudes, the problems would be easy to fix. The dudes are just dudes. The system is failed. Ezra Klein? Ezra Klein is Zelig.
Ascending to the position of the Lord High Broder does not come without disapproval. Here's a scoop you won't have to dig very far to hear: Klein, "such a nice guy" reputation aside, is more feared than loved. Like all ambitious men, he must know that it's better for them to fear the consequences of disloyalty than desire the embrace of friendship. Bright young things who pile their gear into mom's SUV and arrive in DC with an internship and a dream-- they have a habit of ending up unsatisfied. In the five years I've been doing this, I've gotten dozens of emails from them, on the way up, or on the way out. And the overwhelming impression is that they are afraid of the Ezra Kleins of the world. I think that makes all the difference, though I know many disagree. But then, that's the problem with conceiving of yourself as still being the kid at the keyboard: you will always fail to understand your own power over people. The people who came up from the bottom in some shitty newsroom at some shitty paper in some shitty town, slitting throats all the way... they know the power they wield. When you've made your whole living by being known as a good guy, who's ever to tell you that you exercise power, that you have the ability to make and break the white-knuckled strivers of the world?
Would I feel any differently, myself? I'd like to think so. But then, I've known what gig I've wanted since I was 11 years old, and it has little to do with Ezra Klein. If what I wanted was to be in his world? I'm sure I would find him enchanting, or barring that, fear him enough to fake it.
Ultimately, there isn't much to worry about, when it comes to Klein, other than the miserable death of the American left-wing, that last betrayal of the egalitarian dream. If it isn't glaringly obvious, "Unkind writing is unthoughtful writing" is how social justice dies, how you strangle the child of equality in her crib. Nobody who ever materially suffered could be so luxurious in their disdain for anger; nobody who has ever been desperately afraid of the rent coming due could mistake bloodlessness for maturity. It turns out, in fact, that a chart tends to serve precisely its purpose, which is to express injustice in language quotidian enough that no one will ever be inspired by it. I started writing because there was no other way to deal with a world of human cruelty; if what I had to say made mothers want me to marry their daughters, I'd slit my wrists.
But then that, too, is one of my forbidden opinions, the type that get the patient explainers patiently explaining. That's why I want to take Klein's opinion that "we highly overstate the power of individuals and highly underrate seeing Washington as a system" and show it to him, and his admirers, and my own frequent critics, to ask if that system does not happen to include the lives of those who write about it. I'm only trying to play by the rules that he's dictated.
In that, I share a condition with many people I admire: playing by the rules of men (always men) who aren't quite sure how they got to dictate them. The depth of Klein's privilege is that he gets to decree that the system he wants examined stops at his door, as the throbbing, gendered power dynamics that seep from that profile make plain. Staring at the piece, from the newly rebranded TNR, owned by a Facebook millionaire who speaks in cliched aphorisms, in a profile of someone who has meticulously curated an image for just this moment-- there's some sort of perfection there. Such a profound monument to everything unimportant, such a preference for emptiness and the status quo, such a failure for the people whose lives are dictated by "policy." But oh, those eyes! And oh, that web design!

Just wondering, why do you like Matthew Yglesias but not Ezra Klein?
Also, the link to the profile is wrong.

Fixed it, thanks.
As far as Yglesias goes... I dunno. Again, Klein is just a guy, working a system. I guess I like Yglesias a bit more personally, in part because he's always been more upfront with his "product differentiation" stuff. But who knows.

"Ultimately, there isn't much to worry about, when it comes to Klein, other than the miserable death of the American left-wing, that last betrayal of the egalitarian dream."
I largely agree with this post and I think that you hit the nail on the head talking about the difference between wanting to be a writer and wanting to be like a writer. There are people who want to be reporters and there are people who want to be on Charlie Rose talking about important things. Klein is certainly the epitome of the latter.
I do have to question, however, whether Klein is a symbol of the death of the American left or a symbol of its ultimate fulfillment. And maybe those two things are one in the same.

I prefer Yglesias to Klein too, but it's important to note - and I'm very glad you did it here Freddie - that both of them originally made names for themselves by supporting the Iraq war. That act, more than any other, launched both their careers. I remember being infuriated when their support for war actually helped them cultivate reputations for being honest and thoughtful. It was enraging to watch them both switch sides, taking their reputations with them, rewarded for wrongness.

I don't see how you could hate Klein, either. He's basically just an aggregator now, putting the research of his team into readable twelve-point essay form. It's supposed to be dispassionate.
He used to be more opinionated when he was blogging for TAP, though. I think that and the whole JournoList debacle drained most of the color out of his commentary.

- Milo Busbecq said...
Holy. Shit. But you're a terrible writer. I stand in awe.
- February 14, 2013 at 8:28 PM
- Phil Perspective said...
JournoList didn't hurt him at all. Remember, Joke Line and a bunch of other Villagers were in on it. After all, if he learned anything from it he wouldn't have written glowing tributes to the Zombie-eyed Granny-starver.
Are you on Twitter? If not, I find it funny that you follow what happens on it so much.
- February 15, 2013 at 1:36 AM
- Devin Mitchell said...
Supporting the Iraq War is difficult to forgive, though Klein certainly wasn't alone. I don't really have a problem with the rest of his work.
For someone you don't "hate," this was a pretty scathing critique. I mean, come on, "a doofus with good enough looks to appear on cable." A fair bit of baseless psychoanalyzing too.

Breakfast will be served at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, July 20, at Shooters Grill, and the meeting will begin no later than 9. The cost of breakfast is $7.
PLAN Chairman Ted Stone said Susan Taylor is on the program to talk about the state Rails to Trails program and cycling.
State, city and county elected officials will present updates, and PLAN committees and local agencies will also have the opportunity to share their progress.
Jones County PLAN was formed by a steering committee of community leaders in 1997 and was an offshoot of the leadership program Forward 2000. Among its accomplishments, PLAN was instrumental in the creation of Jones County's Operation Early Intervention program, Jones County Family Connection, the reactivation of the Development Authority of Jones County and the Gray Downtown Development Authority, and the creation of Jones County History and Heritage.

Tip 1. Leave protective film on panels until installation: the protective film can have several helpful uses. Use film surface to place cut marks or notes using a fine-tip marker. It also adds additional protection to panel finish while handling it during preparation.
Tip 2. Finishing panel edge under cabinets: before installation, paint the wall area just under the cabinet to match the darkest color in the panel finish. This will hide any area where a small, thin section of the wall is exposed due to the panel not fitting perfectly along the entire cabinet's bottom edges. Or use Edge J-Trim along the top edge of the panels where it meets the bottom of the cabinets. The trim can be adjusted to butt perfectly along the bottom edge of the cabinets. Inside corner trim or caulk can be used at the bottom of the backsplash transition between the countertop and the backsplash.
Tip 3. Cutting panels for outlets and light switches: measure and mark the border of where the opening will be with a marker on the protective film. Score along the entire border, and using a utility knife, make a few passes with a bit more pressure each pass. Then in the center area to be removed, cut a 1/2″ to 1″ triangular hole all the way through the panel. Next using a good scissor or tin snips, cut angled cuts from the edges of the cut triangle to the corners of the border scores. The final step is to then carefully bend each corner area along the scores until they break free. See drawing below.
Tip 4. Care and Cleaning: clean only with warm, soapy water. Never use abrasive cleaners such as; Scotchbrite Pads or Brillo Pads, etc. They may harm the finish on the panels. Using a high-quality auto polish can help protect the finish.
CAUTION: Even though these panels are "Class A" fire retardant, they can be deformed with excessive heat. Never expose to heat over 140°F. Keep toaster ovens, cooking ranges, etc. 2-3 inches away from the backsplash panel's surface.

Both won their end of season tournaments last weekend to finish the year with identical 15-1 records.
"We have some good young guys, and coach (Chris) Martin and coach (Brandon) Davis have done a good job with them this year," head coach Barry Veal said.
The junior varsity team finished the regular season with a 7-5 victory in Perry last Wednesday.
Cody Compton, Lonnie Anderson and Tracy Jackson all had two hits apiece, and Anderson, Compton and Chandler Ramage shared the pitching, Martin reported.
The Hounds hosted the junior varsity tournament on Friday and Saturday. They blanked Veterans 11-0 on Friday, then downed Houston County 10-1 in Saturday's championship game.

Last night at the 2012 Grammy Awards, Bon Iver won the prestigious award for Best New Artist, but there was still a question on everyone's lips, or at least trending on their Twitter feed — Who is Bon Iver? While it seems strange to us that you could own a Twitter account and somehow have missed the Internet hype train that was "Holocene" last year, #whoisboniver was one of the top trending topics of conversation on the social networking device last night (a lot of people seemed to think his name was Bonny Bear).
We took to the red carpet before the ceremony to find out if anyone there knew who Bon Iver was, and we got some interesting results! Everyone we talked to, from 3-time Grammy winner Skrillex to Wilco and Mumford & Sons to Malin Ackerman, seemed to have two different pronunciations for the band's name. The most interesting response, however, came from Snooki, who managed to throw in a penis reference and made this statement for the ages: "Well, I don't know anybody if you're not Rihanna."

This is a OS diaper and it has cross over tabs. It also has hip snaps! The outside material is super soft like a t-shirt.This diaper in particular is an AI2 diaper. They also have a pocket diaper which I will be reviewing in the future. You can see the row of waist snaps that go all the way across and the hip snaps above each side. On the gray part of the diaper you can see the snaps on the tabs and cross over snaps.
The inside of the diaper is made with 100% bamboo charcoal micro-fleece. All natural and great for fighting bacteria and smells! Plus it's very soft. I actually love this part of the diaper because unlike some other AI2 diapers that I have tried there is no sticky PUL up against the babies skin, just gentle fleece!
Here is the outside of the diaper, nice and simple.
Here is the inside without the insert snapped in. The insert is also very soft and has stayed that way after lots of washes. It is made of 5 layers - 2 of natural bamboo and 3 of microfiber.Here is the diaper on my son the first time he wore it. I have the hip snaps a little tighter and now do them on the next snap over. He is on the middle rise setting with the tabs closed all the way with out crossing over. So plenty of room for growing.
Rear view complete with diaper crack. lolSide view. I think this is incredibly trim, especially in the front. It has a comfortable fit on him. I like that there isn't a lot of bulk in the front area. I don't want him feeling uncomfortable by having too much materiel bunched up around him.
We haven't had any leaks with this diaper and we use it for nap times too. I haven't used it for night time though because my son is such a heavy wetter - I am not brave enough. lol!
This is probably one of my favorite AI2 systems. I love how soft and trim it is. The fleece on the inside makes cleaning off the poo really easy. However, you can't reuse the cover if it gets pooed on, but if it were only wet then you would be able to use the cover over.
You can go here to purchase a Smart Snugs diaper.

How hard is it hack into a website and steal information? You might think only basement-dwelling computer geeks who write in code all night and eat nothing but pizza can do it.
Not so.
With the recent resurgence of hacktivism and Internet-savvy collectives like Anonymous, it's getting easier. What's truly shocking is just how easy.
Rob Rachwald claims it took him 15 minutes to teach his 11-year-old how to carry out an SQL injection attack, one of the most common methods for stealing private data from web-databases. SQLi essentially tricks a database into revealing data that should be hidden, by "injecting" certain commands. That used to be done manually; now it can be automated, thanks to new tools like Havij and sqlmap.
"The tools are getting smarter," says Rachwald, who directs security strategy at cyber security firm Imperva. As a result, "the pool of hackers is increasing."
Havij, for example, was created just a year ago, but it's already become one of the most popular tools for carrying out automated SQLi attacks, allowing users to steal anything from passwords, to email addresses to credit card numbers from a website. The most popular targets are small and medium-sized businesses that allow online transactions: think local gyms, pet-sitting services and charities.
But big companies can be vulnerable too, and there are plenty of examples:
LulzSec, a splinter group from Anonymous, grabbed headlines last year when it stole the staff and admin passwords from PBS, then published a fake story about Tupac Shakur through its content management system. The group then revealed the hack had been easy, thanks in part to using Havij to collect and store the stolen data.
Earlier this week Ohio man John Anthony Borell pleaded not-guilty to stealing the private details of nearly 500 police officers from the Salt Lake City Police Department. Prosecutors claim Borell was part of another splinter group called CabinCr3w, which used an automated script to carry out the attack. That "automated script" could easily have been Havij or sqlmap.
Supporters of Anonymous also used Havij in an (unsuccessful) attempt to steal private data from the Vatican last August.
Anyone can download Havij for free and simply type in the URL of their target, a vulnerable website. The program then reconstructs, and categorizes the hidden data it finds into a helpful list of headings like "passwords" or "CC numbers." It lets you to tick off the features you want to take (for selling be spammers, or just posting online for the world to see) from other less-useful data. All done via a simple interface and in just a few clicks.
