- In 1776 James Anderson's appointment as Virginia's Public Armourer sparked the transformation
of his modest blacksmithing business into a booming industrial operation. Over the
next four years Anderson's two forges would become seven, and his workforce would
grow from six men to 40 with the addition of gunsmiths, gunstockers, tinsmiths, nail-makers
and blacksmiths. These men were Americans of European and African descent, Scottish,
and French, imprisoned, enslaved, apprenticed and free. Together they undertook the
challenge of maintaining arms for Virginia's soldiers, and supplying iron, steel and
tin work for the war effort. By the early 20th century, all evidence for this important
industrial operation had vanished. Since that time, however, eight archaeological
excavations have contributed details about the property's appearance and the variety
of work accomplished here.

- This bedroom is part of a suite of rooms occupied by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
and Prince Philip during their May 2007 stay in the Williamsburg Inn. The chest of
drawers and lamp between the windows are original to the Inn. The wing chairs were
manufactured by Kittinger Furniture, upholstered in silk blend damask. The valance
and drapery behind the bed were constructed for the queen's visit. A gilded cornice
board with a rosette motif tops the valance with festoons of silk brocade of Robert
Adam-inspired design in cream with accents of soft green, gold and rose. The window
and bed valance boards are covered in a soothing taupe color in slipper satin silk
textile - the same fabric used for the bed drapery, all of which were made by Colonial
Williamsburg seamstresses. The urn-shaped lamps on the night stands are typical of
many accent pieces in the Inn. Many of the Inn's original furnishings are a blend
of the American Federal and English Regency periods and were manufactured by Kittinger.
The furnishings are influenced by the designs of Robert Adam, George Hepplewhite,
Thomas Sheridan and others whose neoclassical designs included classic elements reminiscent
of early Greek and Roman designs.

When Google Reader released the new interface, I complained that sharing a post takes too many clicks: you first need to +1 the post, then click the share box and finally click "share". Now it's easier to share a post: just click the new "share" button and click "share" once again in the modal dialog.
Another advantage is that you can use the old keyboard shortcut for sharing items: Shift+S. Unfortunately, you can't use keyboard shortcuts in the modal dialog, so you still need to click "Share".
Decoupling the "+1" button from the "share" button is a good idea and Google should adjust the code of the +1 widget to make this possible. "Liking" and "sharing" are two different actions and should be treated separately, especially considering that +1's are always public, while sharing can be limited to a few people or circles.

|Journal Packages (Big Deal)
The Library acquires information in many forms: paper, digital, journals, databases, media, books, and microform. Digital information is usually leased and now comprises the largest portion of the budget, over 80 percent. Most reductions must occur in digital format. Digital is also the most highly-used format. To preserve the digital, all other formats were closely examined to lessen the losses in that format.
Much of the digital leased content is contained in expensive e-journal "Big Deal" packages where a publisher leases for one price, an all-or-nothing package of their content. If these packages are heavily used, the Big Deal packages may be cost-effective. In many cases, the data show two-thirds or more of the content in some Big Deals is unused at Appalachian. These are the titles in engineering, surgery, anesthesiology, veterinary science, or other. In most cases if these packages are canceled, Appalachian retains the back file of content we leased in the past. Canceling does not completely remove access to to a title's previous issues online. New content will cease in most cases in early 2013.
If you were on campus during the FY 2002 State budget reductions, you may recall that departments were sent lists of individual journal titles for cancellation review. This is no longer possible, because most journals are now included in a Big Deal package.
|Gather usage and other data
|Meet with Deans, Chairs, Faculty Senate, URC, Grad Council, GSAS
|Determine most likely cancel candidates
|Communicate with faculty and students
|Communicate to campus the cancel list
|Notify publishers, negotiate pricing
|Learn State budget figures
|Most cancellations wil take effect in 2013
Comments and feedback
We encourage comments from faculty, staff, and students on these planned reductions. Please contact your University Librarian Mary Reichel, (email@example.com) [1], your Collection Management liaison [2] or John Abbott, Coordinator of Collection Management (firstname.lastname@example.com [3]).

Bitchie TV: Willow Smith Performs At Highline Ballroom (ft. Will, Jada & Jaden Smith)
Video includes Jaden Smith hitting the dougie, and appearance from Will and Jada
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to see lil' Willow Smith perform "Whip My Hair" at Highline Ballroom. The performance was a part of Power Live's Holiday show and fans of Willow were able to attend for free in exchange for bringing an unwrapped toy.
While Willow took pics with fans, her parents Will and Jada and her brother Jaden quietly slipped in the back door. Jada was almost unnoticeable as she played the background the entire show, however Will signed autographs on balloons and dropped them into the crowd throughout the night.
My day wouldn't have been complete if I didn't tell Will Smith how much he inspires me. My friend Patrick Neree introduced me to his "Wisdom" videos that someone mashed up on youtube and every since then, I watch them every day to stay motivated. I walked up to him and said "I just have to tell you, you inspire me. I watch your "wisdom" videos and it makes me grind harder". His response was "99% is the same as zero. If you are gonna do 99, go ahead stay home". At that very moment, I needed to hear that.

Only currently enrolled UCF students qualify for student library borrowing privileges. Students are considered currently enrolled if they are listed in the Registrar's database as enrolled in at least one class for the semester currently underway. UCF students who are not currently enrolled cannot renew any books checked out to them and must return the books to the Library by the due date or overdue fines and possibly lost book bills will apply. Likewise, only currently employed UCF faculty/staff qualify for faculty borrowing privileges. Faculty or staff are considered currently employed if they are listed in the Human Resources employee database. Newly hired UCF faculty, staff, or adjunct faculty who provide an employment contract listing dates of employment or date of hire will be given temporary faculty borrowing privileges pending verification via the Human Resources employee database. UCF Retirees/Faculty Emeritus may need to go to the Circulation desk and obtain a special borrowers card.
If a student is enrolled in classes during the spring semester and registers for classes for the fall semester, but is not taking any classes during the summer sessions, the student remains activein PeopleSoft and therefore retains full library privileges (including remote access to databases) over the summer.
If a student is registered for classes for the fall semester, but was not enrolled in classes during the spring semester and is not taking any classes during the summer sessions, then their library privileges will not become active until the beginning of the fall semester.
Depending on whether a patron is Faculty, Staff, Graduate Student, or Undergraduate Student checkout length will vary. Books in the Browsing Collection are limited to a three week checkout. In most cases, Reference Books, Indexes, and Journals cannot be checked out. The link below will assist you in determining the proper check out periods for your Library status:
How long can library materials be checked out?
All library materials are subject to recall after 3 weeks and must be returned when requested. Materials needed for Course Reserve are subject to recall immediately. Borrowers are notified by telephone, email, or mail that another person has requested an item that they currently have check out. Until Library materials are returned, they are the responsibility of the borrower and fines will be accrued from the new recall date.
Remote access to the UCF Library Databases is also restricted to current UCF students and faculty/staff. Each week the Library patron database is updated and compared with the Registrar and Human Resources databases. Any Library patron who is not listed as a current student or current employee will have their Library ID number deactivated. Account deactivations can also occur due to outstanding Library fines or other holds on your account. If you feel that your card has been wrongly deactivated please contact the Circulation Desk at (407) 823-2580. Access to all library databases is available via terminals located throughout the Library.

Does Protecting Our Children Mean Political Action For Them And For Us?
Paul Loeb: Particularly in these difficult times, we often use our children as reasons to avoid getting involved in critical issues. We've got all we can handle holding on to our jobs and spending a little time with them. We fear political commitments will make their lives more insecure. Especially when they're young, it may be all we can do just to go to work, come home, pay attention to their needs, and catch a few scarce hours of sleep. Yet when we do find ways to get engaged, our children can give us powerful reasons to act.

RATINGS: 131 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.72 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 300 ABV: 10%
The character pictured on the front of this label is Jonathan Holmberg. Jonathan has been a bartender at what now is Jackie Os for the past 15 years. In 2004 he helped me get my foot in the door and has been a dear friend ever since. Jonathan is a true eccentric and this beer is nothing short of that. Our robust porter was placed into Cabernet barrels eight months ago. Wild yeast and Lactobacillus were added to the barrels to give the beer a tart edge and some very rustic and fruity qualities. Sixty pounds of tart cherries were added to each barrel to take this beer in a unique direction. Notes of cherries, oak, chocolate, wine, and leather all find a special spot in this brew. Cab Cherry Man is a beer that can stand up to the antiquing, joking, halloween-loving, and sweet personality that is Jonathans. Cheers, buddy! -Brad Clark, brewer

You know what, there are a lot of blogs that have stopped being interesting lately (not that you're not, uh, you know what I mean). I blame the combined effect of the long lame duck period and the holidays.
I'll keep your feed in my reader.

I only started reading you a few weeks ago and have never commented on your posts, but want to say how much I admire your thinking and your writing. There's more authenticity here than I read in the "big" blogs and I will miss your contributions. Best of luck. And please reconsider! - Greg.

You got a rich mind. Stay true to that. If this is bogging it down, then you are smart to give it up for a while. The burden of engaging in multiple debates that often seem to have no effect on either the people you are debating with or the discourse as a whole can certainly make the whole endeavor seem hopelessly grueling ... and worthless.
I'm sure you've thought about this before, but you've got the ability to write a book ... and a good one at that. With fiction one can use their creativity to convey their ideas to the largest amount of people. Fiction is a valuable conduit because it provides an infinite latitude to entertain. And to gain a critical mass for one's ideas in the country we live in today, it's got to be entertaining.

I'm really sad to see you go. It's all too rare to find a commentator willing to engage in actual good-faith debate. A lot of your thoughts here have challenged me and have gotten me to question my own biases.

Contra all the nice and touching comments you've received to this post, I'm gonna hit ya with some father principle.
C'mon ya big pansy! You're giving up now? At a time like this? We're just getting into the thick of it! The blood's just starting to fly! And you're bailing out?
This is a war deBoer, not a fucking tea social. A war I tells ya, for hearts a minds you prima donna! And do you know what wins hearts and minds, deBoer? Huh, do ya?! It's fucking guts deBoer, lots and lots and lots of fucking guts!
You, my man, you got guts. You gotta enough guts for this whole stinking army of intelligent and engaged citizenry that we're gearing up to create a better world with and for. You hear that, deBoer? A better fucking world, ya nancy!
But you can't take it, can you? Yer poor little soul is wracked with pain and agony over the violence of it! Oh the fucking humanity! Well guess what, deBoer? Join the fucking club! We're all tortured artists in here man! We all bleed like Tinkerbell when nobody believes in us. But that doesn't give us the goddamn luxury of being Tinkerbell, deBoer. No sir, it doesn't!
I'm not Tinkerbell and you're not Peter Pan, so grow the fuck up Lost Boy, we got fucking work to do! Strap on that fucking keyboard and belly up to the bar. There's only one enemy on the menu, his name's dogma and he's strangling the fucking planet soldier.
It's a war out there deBoer. You might not have asked for it, but yer sure as hell gonna get it. Every person counts, we win together or we die alone! And war, friend 'o mine, is not a spectator sport - so stop fooling yourself into believing you can take a milk and cookie break...!

Well, thanks for everything so far. I hope you'll still comment over at AI, which is where I found you.
If the discouraging feeling wears off, and you want to give it a shot again, there's some things you can do to keep it "fun". Stick to the "this is how I feel about X" posts, and avoid the "blogger X said Y, so here's why they're a stupid idiot-head" posts.
Blogging is at its best when it allows anyone to express interesting thoughts and opinions. It's at it's worst when everyone gets so focused on the gossipy politics of "the blogosphere", and feels the need to comment on everyone else's comments. That just drags it all down into schoolyard fights (much as you remarked that it resembles the smart kids trying to out-smart each other) and that sucks the joy out of it.
Either way, you contributed something to a bunch of other people, and that's something. Don't forget that.

I'm going to echo Scott (and his marvelous pirate rant) and Geoffrey and many of the others.
Quite frankly you've made remarkable waves in the short life of this blog. I've only read you for a few weeks now and I'm still impressed by your intellect and honesty.
Your problem seems to be you take the comments too close to heart. Maybe you should just close comments on your posts? I don't know...
What I do know is that you were adding to an important discussion with the likes of Daniel Larison, the Confabulum team, etc. and it's hardly fair to walk out now.
If it's not fun, do more fun stuff. Get out of politics a bit. Write about French Literature or post Onion videos. Do whatever.
Just don't kick your readers in the teeth (well, maybe some of them...)
In any case, obviously it's your choice. Just don't be too hasty...

I've gone in and out of blogging and my experience was much improved when I stopped trying to be part of the blogging game. Leave your mind open and come back when you miss it.

- raft said...
i second the comments above about recharging, be well, good luck, etc. You're take a break for the right reasons, i think, but of course I still hope you come back soon :)
if you're up for it, there is thing i'd really like to know: what you now think about blogging after your personal experience writing one. Not a "big spiel" about going on hiatus but a deeper piece on the nature/significance of the medium--I mean something like Andrew Sullivan's essay on blogging:
"We bloggers have scant opportunity to collect our thoughts, to wait until events have settled and a clear pattern emerges. We blog now—as news reaches us, as facts emerge... a blog is not so much daily writing as hourly writing. And with that level of timeliness, the provisionality of every word is even more pressing—and the risk of error or the thrill of prescience that much greater"
this is one model of blogging, the spending 15 hours a day typing away on your laptop model. but I don't see why you couldn't have a slower blog, something less reactive and more meditative. instead of constant updates (and an implied pressure to update), why not a few posts a month when you really have something you want to say? the person in my mind is Reihan Salam over at The American Scene. My own sense as a reader of your blog was that after a while it just became a chore, draining both physically and emotionally. Maybe the problem was excess.
i don't know, i don't write a blog. But since you have the insight and the experience, I'd really like to hear your take on what it all means. There's a surprisingly real shortage of quality commentary on blogging.
- January 7, 2009 at 11:51 AM
- JMW said...
I'm also sorry to hear this. I enjoy the blog a great deal. I have to agree with E.D. Kain, who wrote, "Your problem seems to be you take the comments too close to heart." The most idiotic troll can sometimes get you to write an entire post acknowledging and honoring their existence. This seems like an unnecessary distraction from your own train of thought and your own ideas about what should be posted on any given day. Also, I believe that some of the more aggressive commenters are a testament to how much you challenge them and rile them up. There's an incredibly unbecoming defensiveness to most angry blog commenters, yours included. Perhaps you could keep the comments open but just not read them yourself. Just a thought...
Be well.

Longtime reader here -- just wanted to wish you the best. I have appreciated your insights very much over these past months, and your refusal to simplify complex issues simply to limit space has been appreciated. Thanks for your hard work and best of luck.

ARGH, Freddie...This annoys the fuck out of me. You're easily the best blogger I discovered last year, easily.
You possess the mixture of sincerity and eloquence that a great writer truly needs. I know that you are under no obligation to provide this to the public (at all, let alone for free) but it is a true pity to see that you've stopped.

Thanks for the good blog times. In particular, your posts on unions and your posts on education have been helpful to me as I try to figure what I think about the relevant policies. I've also enjoyed anything you've written about art or literature.
One small note: if you continue to write articles for Culture11 or other sites, maybe you could post links here, with comments disabled…
All the best,

I think maybe the problem (as some have mentioned) is comments ... just disable comments! If someone has a worthwhile point to make, they can email it to you; only very rarely have I seen constructive debates in comments threads. Two of the better blogs (Douthat, Sullivan) have no comments at all; and I feel like Yglesias very rarely actually reads his comments section. Also the blogs/articles on Slate, the comments threads are tucked away; if you must keep comments open, just never go in there (as someone else mentioned).
- January 10, 2009 at 11:41 AM
Will miss your writing. There are very few people who manage to write from a POV while maintaining intellectual honesty. Hope you come back some day. GL with the job. I had some exposure to anesthetizing animals when I was a resident. Fascinating area.

You have a great talent and a great mind and it would be a shame if those two things were separated for any length of time.

Too bad. I just came across your site a few weeks ago (thank you, Larison) and I genuinely enjoyed the blog the few times I made it here. That being said, I understand your frustrations. Hopefully this will pass, because yours is an interesting and worthwhile voice.

Just start blogging again already. Not every day, but when you have something to say. You gotta let it out.

To run Internet Explorer 7, you need Windows XP SP2.
Step 1
Download Internet Explorer 7 (14.8 MB). You could also download IE7 from File Hippo.
Step 2
Download the IE7 Standalone archive created by Jon Galloway.
Step 3
Create a new folder IE7 in Program Files, copy the IE7 setup file and extract the files from the archive downloaded at Step 2.
Step 4
Run the file IE7 Standalone Setup.bat and click OK to install xmllitesetup.exe, an update necessary so that IE7 has tabs.
Step 5
Create a shortcut on the desktop to the file IE7.bat. Change the icon of the shortcut to one from IE7's iexplore.exe.
Now you have a standalone Internet Explorer 7 that runs along with Internet Explorer 6. You can launch IE7 from the shortcut you've created on the desktop. Note that not all the features will work well and this standalone installation is recommended only for developers that want to test IE7, but also need Internet Explorer 6.
More about this setup from Jon Galloway.

Shakyamuni Buddha made a vow that he would continue to sit in meditation until he either died or found the truth. On the morning of the seventh day of his meditation, he experienced enlightenment. This ceremony commemorates that moment. It includes chanting accompanied by a drum during a circumambulation of the Buddha Hall.

Detroit native Kat Steel makes name as Web starWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
It's hard to describe Kat Steel's charming on-screen persona without relying on a word that seems way too obvious — bubbly. Steel herself readily acknowledges that.
"I would use bubbly, but that's an easy getaway," Steel said in an interview with Toledo Free Press Star. "I would go with … unmedicated. Hyperactive. Probably needs to calm down just a little bit. A little socially awkward. But I mean no harm."
Those who haven't seen Steel perform have plenty of chances to change that. A native of the Detroit area, the young actress is currently expanding her resume through a wide variety of wildly entertaining Web projects. This includes the comedy series "Fresh Hell," which she co-stars in with "Star Trek: The Next Generation" alum Brent Spiner. The show just began its second season on YouTube.
"I didn't wanna fangirl over him, because in our household, 'Star Trek' was like the thing," Steel said of working with Spiner. "I mean, I grew up on Sunday afternoons watching 'Next Generation' with my dad. So, I really tried to play it cool, and try to just be really professional.
"Brent is so cool, though, that there really shouldn't have even been that concern. But I waited until we were at least halfway through filming to be like, 'My dad and I really, really love "Star Trek!"' And try to leave it at that. And he was super cool! He's the snarkiest, nicest, funniest guy."
A self-described "nerd," Steel grew up loving books and role-playing games in West Bloomfield, Mich. Performing had long been a part of her life, but the idea of pursuing it as a career never really took hold until she attended Albion College in Michigan.
"I was doing theater back when I was young, especially back, like, in high school," Steel said. "I went to school and I got my degree in psychology, and I realized that as much as I love psychology, I wanted to use that for performing. So, I came out to LA after I graduated."
Adapting to life inside the California bubble is always a challenge for new arrivals, Steel said. "It's a culture shock when you move out here. It's very, very difficult. I am very much a simple, Midwest girl.
"So, [when] I moved out here, my first job was doing club promotion stuff. And I had never done that before — I'm very introverted. I was not a clubbing type. And I took the job and it was this bizarre, surreal culture shock. And you meet people where their reality is very different from yours."
Steel began making strides on camera, including hosting gigs on a few Web-based clip shows. The further along she got, the better she became, which she attributes to growing more comfortable on camera — in a manner of speaking.
"The older I get, the less I give a shit," she said with a laugh. "I don't think my mama is gonna be too happy with me swearing during an interview, but it really does come down to comfort. And people in LA are so obsessed with image and how they look. And sometimes, any semblance of comedy or humanness is kind of lost in that consciousness, and that need to look so good."
One of her most notable characters is Miss Dementia, host of "Super Scary Horror Theater." Poured into a fire-red dress with cleavage Elvira would consider excessive — and a bouffant that takes up half the screen — Steel said the character is largely inspired by scandal-ridden televangelist's wife Jan Crouch.
"When I was little, I remembered her as this big, purple-haired lady who was on TV," Steel said. "I saw it recently, and I thought, 'Oh my god! There's this woman and she seems so sweet and light — what if there was an evil version of her?'
"People don't realize with Miss Dementia — that getup is, like, so uncomfortable! I don't wear a lot of makeup myself, so being asked to do not only makeup but to do, like, ridiculous makeup — it takes me about an hour. And the wig is huge. And there's so much makeup on my face, and there's so much duct tape in places where there just shouldn't be duct tape."
Steel's biggest exposure yet, however, has come via "Fresh Hell" — a show Steel said came to through her friendship with its writer, Harry Hannigan.
"He got in touch with me and said, 'Hey, I don't want you to be offended, but there's this part that I think you'll really be great at. Would you like to take a peek at it?' And I was like, 'Be offended? Oh, don't be silly!' And I read it and I'm like, 'I'm so offended, this is awesome!'"
Steel brings cheerful charm to the character — a young actress looking for work in the, uh, adult film industry — and makes her a ditzy, loveable foil to Spiner's cynicism.
"Dakota's saving grace is that she is oblivious to the fact that her life and the way it's gone would be viewed as sad," Steel said.
As "Hell" continues its second season and more people get a chance to sample Steel's work, there is plenty of reason for her to be optimistic about the future. But Steel said as long as she can entertain, she'll be content.
"For stuff like Web [series], it'll be really interesting to see where it goes. And I just hope that I can remain a part of it, in kind of just my dorky little corner of the Internet. And if I can keep doing stuff that makes people happy and makes people laugh, I'm pretty happy with that."

Over 400 people attended Stonewall's annual Summer Party on Friday 22 June at the Roof Gardens in Kensington. The event, supported by Société Générale, g3, Out in the City and Out News, raised over £51,000 for Stonewall's Education for All campaign, which tackles homophobic bullying in schools and makes sure they support children from all kinds of families.
Stonewall Chief Executive Ben Summerskill, Dr Christian Jessen and his partner, Rogerio Barreto (photo by shotbyrob.com)
Dr Christian Jessen, who hosted the evening, praised Stonewall in an emotional speech about the effects of homophobic bullying. 'Over the years my admiration and respect for Stonewall and the work they do has gone nuclear,' he said. 'Their campaign to fight homophobic bullying in schools strikes a chord with me. It's shocking that homophobia is endemic in British schools – I find that extremely embarrassing. The work Stonewall do really does make a difference. It will help stamp it out.'
Other guests included Beverley Knight, Russell Tovey, Julian Clary, Jane Hill and Gok Wan. After a raffle, drawn by Vincent Francois, Chair of Société Générale's gay staff network, the Roof Gardens opened to the public for a gay-themed club night, Summer Party on the Roof, which included a spectacular fireworks display. Part of the proceeds from Summer Party on the Roof will be donated to Stonewall.
Catherine Bosworth, Stonewall Director of Fundraising, said: 'Thanks to our supporters at Société Générale every penny raised on Friday will help us make a real difference to thousands of lesbian, gay and bisexual young people around Britain. This was our biggest ever Summer Party – and yet again, we're overwhelmed by our individual supporters' generosity.'
During office hours please call: 020 7593 1856 or outside office hours on 07985 439 660.
If you are a journalist and wish to be added to Stonewall's media contacts list, please contact email@example.com

iGoogle continues to make mistakes. After testing the new version of iGoogle without providing an option to end the experiment, after ignoring most of the complaints regarding the new interface, Google decided to redirect iPhone users to the standard mobile interface, instead of sending them to the iPhone-optimized interface. Apparently, G1 users were also affected by this strange decision.
"We've decided to direct iPhone users to the standard mobile iGoogle page. We've found that people hit iGoogle from lots of different phones -- we want to ensure you'll all see the same version. Most or all of your existing content should translate over to the standard mobile version. The only exception would be any gadgets that aren't compatible with most mobile browsers," explains a Google engineer.
The problem was that the iPhone-optimized interface included all the gadgets from the desktop version and the tabs, it was sleek and easy to use on a touch screen, while the standard mobile version only shows feeds and a small number of gadgets. Degrading user experience and taking away a lovely interface is not the best way to encourage people to use iGoogle.
iGoogle's forum has a long thread with complaints and some users suggest to change the user-agent in Safari because the iPhone interface is still available for other browsers. Here's one of the few polite messages from the thread:
"I have to admit I am quite surprised by the unofficial news that you have removed your previously excellent iGoogle adaptation for iPhone. I can understand that in times of consolidating services in order to increase your internal efficiency you need to keep down the number of platforms. But removing the iPhone support without properly notifying your users in advance and explaining the reasons why you do this is perhaps not the smartest move if you want to keep loyal customers and brand value. And especially since you yourself have found that iPhone users are very active web users compared to the other mobile platforms."

You can use smart dialing to set a default area code and country code that is applied automatically to the phone numbers that you call, so that you don't have to dial the country code or area code when you make a call within your own country.
Smart dialing also makes calling an organization or company easier, too. When you set an extension access number for a company, you only need to add an extension number in the Contacts app for a contact at that company, and the company's phone number and extension will be dialed automatically when you call that contact.

Rated 4.5 out of 5Â by 69 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Waffle Runs way small I'm always a size 27 and I couldn't even pull these all the way up. I would have to order 2 sizes up for these to fit so I just returned them. 6.30.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by nique16 Lovely but waist on the small size I bought these in the blue colour. The weight, texture, print & softness of the denim is perfect...they have a vintage style. I found they fit very well in the legs but they are a bit snug around waist. I have worn them & the waist has loosened up a little bit so hopefully with more wear they will loosen even more. 3.15.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by jesslynjoelle Fits small I ordered these in my normal size and one size up just in case. Unfortunately neither size fit me. The leg opening around the calves weren't big enough for my legs to be comfortable while wearing. I don't have abnormally large legs for my body type so I found it a little disappointing since so many people rave about them! 2.21.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Zehra In Love I absolutely adore these jeans. They are a little expensive, but they are so cute. The fit is great and I love the dainty flower print. I would highly recommend these jeans. 10.29.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by gossamerdreams Different fit in the different colors This lovely crop has so many reviews - i just wanted to add that it fit differently in the black vs the blue, in the blue my regular size, 25, fits well, but i need to size up to 26 in the black. Both colors fit tight in the knee and loose in the waist. The fabric in the blue denim feels much softer and has a better weight than the black fabric. For reference i am 5'4' and weigh 107 lbs. 9.23.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Stegosaurus Love but sizing not for me I'm 5'10" and slender, normally a 26-27 in jeans. Needed to size up to 27-28 for these. However, the 27s were still tight in the calf area, 28s were perfect in legs and large in hips and especially in the waist. The material does have some stretch. Love love love the style, very funky and comfortable. 8.29.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by RDNYC These run small... I ordered these in a 25, which is my size in pretty much every upscale denim brand. Man, the 25 is TIGHT! They are the right size in the waist, but the legs seem incredibly small--instead of running down the sides, the seams end up almost in the middle of my calf. I'm exchanging for the same thing in a size 26. For reference, I'm 5'2" and 107 lbs and am small-framed overall. 7.6.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by hephep adorable but too short tried these on in the store because the sales girl was wearing them and she looked so cute! but they were awkwardly short on me even with little ankle boots (like in the photo, also how the sales girl was wearing them). maybe because my legs are really long or because they are pretty muscular, but these just didn't fit right. i wish they were normal length jeans!!! then i would have bought them right away!! 12.18.2012

ZunePhone Parody Lampoons Microsoft, Hits Right Where it Hurts...Below the Belt and Above the Wallet
Oh snap! This video has all the best qualities of human expression - mockery, sarcasm, ridicule, taunting...reminds me of middle school, minus the bully who stole my lunch money.
Take that, Microsoft...and Greg Johnson! I'll take back all that lunch money you stole from me in $50s and $100s.

ZunePhone Parody Lampoons Microsoft, Hits Right Where it Hurts...Below the Belt and Above the Wallet
Am I the only one who thinks an emulated rotary pad would be awesome, and not in any way lame as this insinuates?
And not to come off as a Microsoft fanboy, and I'm not here to bash you guys, but the iPhone is crap. According to patents MS has taken out, a ZunePhone is supposedly coming out in one form or another. And it doesn't suck.
I love how you idiots cruise around on iPhone websites to post crap on them- get a f&@$#* life! And if you want to have wet dreams about a Zune phone do it on a damn Microsoft blog! Seriously, I can't believe losers like you who go around posting s*#% on sites just to antagonize groups of people-
There are a hell of a lot of phones that are better than the iPhone. There were a hell of a lot of mp3 players that were better than the iPod.. It's just a "style" thing.. these people aren't buying them for their phone functionality, they're buying them for apple's promise that they'll look cool.
I completely disagree. I was a die-hard pocket pc fan. But, after looking at the functionality and features of the iPhone, and the fact that Verizon would not match ATT's plan price, I left and got an iPhone. I got it because it was very functional for me as a consultant out in the field. The fact that it has been cracked and apps can now be installed sealed the deal for me.
I myself was a naysayer when I saw promos and read about the iPhone. But then, I actually went to the Apple store and used one and was hooked. So, I totally do not think the iPhone is for only people who want style.
Lols, I'm not going to be getting the iPhone or Zunephone because they're too fucking expensive, seriously. They're PHONES.
Also, I wish people who want me to switch to Mac should shut up about how OMG GREAT their systems are. If you think I should have one, buy me one. Otherwise, stfu and mind your own fucking business.
Iphones suck. I got a bill for all of my itemized text messages and good lord. My mailbox sits out by the street and the package wouldn't fit in the mailbox so the lid was left open. So then the garbage man comes the next day(i wasnt home) and hits the mailbox over, grazing the open trap of it. Little did I know there was some marathon the next day for breast cancer and they were going through my neighborhood. Some lady tripped over the fallen over mailbox and broke her hip, so when I get home I have a subpeona, I am getting sued over this...what the fuck!
I do belive that a ZunePhone would be better than the iPhone, judging by the Zune vs. the iPod. Zune did everything much better, from Durability to the Marketplace. Microsoft, seeing where the iPhone has failed, would capatilize and do it better, as shown by the Zune. Seriously, the iPod and iPhones are peices of crap. On my old iPod, an eraser made a permanent mark on the surface, and my Zune got dropped into rocks, and it made a white spot, that I wiped off.

Bebe Anne Hughes Cheatham was a dearly beloved wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and faithful Christian who went to be with her Heavenly Father on Tuesday, March 5, 2013 surrounded by the love of her family. Bebe was born in Nace, Virginia on October 31, 1932 to the late Bessie Powers Hughes and James Erastus Hughes. She was educated in the Roanoke City Schools and graduated from Jefferson High School in 1951. Bebe lived a life of joy and smiles, always seeing the best in everyone and every situation. She enjoyed long walks, gardening, cooking, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Scrabble, bridge, tennis, traveling, Kiawah Island, sunrises, and sunsets. Above all else, she was passionate about her husband, children, grandchildren, and her Heavenly Father. One of her greatest pleasures was attending the activities and events her grandchildren participated in, and she took great pride in all of their accomplishments. An avid and competitive tennis player, she played team tennis for many years winning numerous matches and awards. She was a member of the South Carolina National Classic Legends who won the Senior National Invitational Team Tennis Tournament in Las Vegas in 1989. She attended Bethany United Methodist Church faithfully. Bebe is survived by her beloved husband of fifty-eight years, Robert Angle Cheatham and three adoring children: daughter, Cathy Senter and husband Lin of Albemarle, NC; daughter, Karen Davis and husband Terry of Matthews, NC; and son, Ben Cheatham and wife Sallie of Summerville. She is also survived by her six loving grandchildren: Jim Senter and wife Mary of Albemarle, NC; Neil Senter and wife Brooke of Albemarle, NC; Caitlin Davis of Charlotte, NC; Will Davis of New York, NY; Bentley Cheatham of Summerville; and Madison Cheatham of Summerville. In 2012, she was blessed with two great-granddaughters, Mia Senter and Stella Senter. Bebe fought bravely and with remarkable grace and strength against Lymphoma remaining faithful to the Lord and a comforting source of love and strength to her family until the very end.
