The Sony Ericsson T300 is a very good mobile phone in many ways, it's got a good shape, size, and is very well designed both externally and internally. A bad thing I can sadly say about it though, is that to take pictures, you need to attach a camera to it, and that's not as practical, but except for that, I can agree that that is a very good mobile phone for a lot of people..

The Sony Ericsson T300 is basically a cheap and cheerful camera phone. I have had this phone for a year and a half and have had no problems what so ever. The phone has not crashed once and it is in use every single day. The only problem I have with this is the text is slow in reacting. I can be typing a message and it can take a few seconds to catch up.
The battery life is excellent, I recently took it away on holiday for 7 days, made dozens of phone calls and there was still life in...

I have had my T300 for 7 months now, I can just say "IT IS A GREAT PHONE!!": it is cheap, color, polyphonic, you can download games, themes, pictures, sounds, screensavers and so much more. The screen quality is average, but very good, for a 256 color-screen. Pictures taken with camera don't look good on it, but you have to accept the fact that the phones screen acts just as a viewfinder; if you download the pictures to your PC (via IRDA or e-mail), they look perfect!

I bought the Sony Ericsson T300 mobile last may and up until I got rid of it for a brand spanking new Sony Ericson P900, the only real problem I had with it was the joystick wasn't exactly responsive. It sometimes required 3-4 presses at a time. Also the front facia had a tendancy to fly off when you dropped it on carpet. When I got it, it was a cutting edge phone and personally I wish I hadn't given it to a friend who needed a phone as her's failed. She loves it as well, but wishes that the... (read more)

The first time I bought a Sony Ericsson T300 and it completly broke, now i have a new one, it's ok but it can get very glitchy. The camera simply cannot produce with a screen with only 256 coulors, photos look odd and its hard to make out things. The polyphonic ringtones are good quality, unlike the games which get boring quickly. Overall this is a phone that has been made too quickly and too cheaply to be good.

I found that the colour screen was nice, but if you want to use the camera attachment the screen simply isn't good enough. Having said that this is probably the cheapest colour screen phone available and is good value for money.

The thing you have to remember is that the t300 is a budget, entry level mobile phone. It doesn't have the same quality of workmanship as let's say, the samsung v200. The software is old(used on the t68) and so shouldn't be expected to perform excellently, although sonyericsson have had time to perfect it. The camera is a let down, but what can you expect a camera to produce when it's produced for a phone which can only display 256 colours. Get a phone that can do 65k. You gat what you pay for. If the phone cost loads then i'd sympathise completely with you, i know i'm a little annoyed at mine, but in comparison to other camera phones it offers great value for money (unless you were ripped off).

Thanks for reading

Finally someone who feels the same as muself ive got a T300 and to be honest i agree with everything you have said if ur looking for a new phone a nokia is the way to go. if i could get a new phone tomorrow the T300 would be in the trash quicker than it turns on
Written on: 25/07/2003
whoa there tiger!!! I never said Nokia is the way to go. Many people think that as Nokias are built solid and have a good rep amongst the masses but don't forget that Nokia doesn't offer everything.

For a start, their phones display a maximum of 4096 colours. The Nokia 3650 has a video camera. What kind of manufacturer combines both these features in a monstrosity of a phone - Nokia, and....only Nokia. What were they smoking. (can i write that?). The result is poor contrast and the sort of picture quality that makes you gag if you've experienced a Phone which can display 65,000 colours. Samsung, Sharp and panasonic all produce top of the line masterpieces which i can only bow to. I've had my Samsung V200 for over a month now. It performs like a dream. Faster at turning on than the T300 and superior in EVERY way. Wap is faster, ringtones clearer, charging faster and it's definately more asthetically pleasing. The T300 was good value for money, and the first affordable camera phone. But in a matter of months, it has been surpassed by other manufacturers. They also got things the wrong way round. See, the charger is light and well designed, and the phone...well, the effort was there but it could just have been the guys at sonyerisson letting the work-experience lad have a go at designing a phone. Oh, and one last thing. If you're after a camera phone, consider this. In about 6 months time, camera phones will be banned from areas where children are present and video conference calling will probably leave most handsets incapable of the feature obsolete.

Once again, please don't just consider a nokia due to past successes (32xx, 33xx and 82xx series handsets). If they work for you, and i just can't convert you to another manufacturer then i'll just have to survive. But Samsung make electronic parts for most phone manufacturers and themselves. It may have Nokia, motorola or Sagem printed on it but it's running on samsung technology. Think about it....

Sorry about the extra long review there folks. Just to let you know, i do agree with you points Ben and i'm not faulting you with your Nokia dependancy but i just don't like following the crowd. I want to stand out. My Samsung V200 does it. I think it's a V205 in your part of the world, ben. It's one awesome phone.

I made a review earlier on saying that GPRS wasn't available on the 02 network, however, i was wrong! GPRS has to be enabled by the network before you can use it! GPRS on this phone is amazing- you can download allsorts and navigate pages in a flash and you only get charged on what you download not however long you are on! Another cool feature is its infrared port! My frends all have those ports and we are able to swap pictures, themes, music and much more all for free and in an instant!! I would soooooooo recommend this phone to anyone who wants a truly individual phone that is very simple yet advanced!!!!

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Technology stocks were mostly lower Monday, and shares of Oracle Corp. slipped after the corporate-software giant announced it was buying Acme Packet Inc. in a $1.7 billion deal.
Oracle /quotes/zigman/76584/quotes/nls/orcl ORCL -0.53% shed 3% to close at $35.13 after the company said it was acquiring Acme Packet for $29.25 a share. Shares of the Bedford, Mass.-based networking-technology company soared 23.7% to $29.59.
Amazon, Google and Microsoft battle for the cloud

In a note, Nomura Equity Research analyst Rick Sherlund wrote that Acme Packet's technology can help Oracle "better enable communications across service-provider and enterprise networks, as well as across different devices."
"This likely bolsters Oracle's positioning in the mobile space, as well as helping to build out offerings around the company's cloud application deployments," he said.
The sector also got a lift from shares of BlackBerry /quotes/zigman/18534/quotes/nls/bbry BBRY +0.35% , formerly known as Research In Motion Ltd., which began trading under a new ticker Monday. BlackBerry was up 15% to close at $14.98.
The handset maker was bolstered by a Bernstein Research upgrade. Analyst Pierre Ferragu raised his rating to outperform from market perform, saying: "We have grown more confident in the likely success of the BlackBerry 10 launch, supported by low channel inventories, strong operator support and material pent-up demand."
But tech stocks were mostly down, with the Nasdaq Composite Index /quotes/zigman/12633936 COMP -0.12% giving up 48 points, or 1.5%, to close at 3,131.
Among the decliners were Google Inc. /quotes/zigman/93888/quotes/nls/goog GOOG -1.07% , which was off 2.1% to close at $759.02. BMO Capital downgraded the stock to market perform, arguing that "investor sentiment has changed materially" given worries about declining cost per clicks and the impact of the Motorola Mobility acquisition.

Dell Inc. /quotes/zigman/27952/quotes/nls/dell DELL -0.07% shed 2.6% at $13.27, while Apple Inc. /quotes/zigman/68270/quotes/nls/aapl AAPL +0.68% was off 2.5% to close at $442.32.

Because freedom can't protect itself.
A federal court today struck Texas's discriminatory voter ID law, which would have prevented many eligible citizens from exercising their fundamental right to vote.
The ACLU had intervened in the case in order to represent individuals and organizations who would be negatively impacted, and protect the right to vote. Today's decision by a three-judge Washington, D.C. panel comes at a time when the right to vote is under attack nationwide.
"By blocking this law, the court reaffirmed the right of all people in this country to participate in our democracy," said Nancy Abudu, senior staff attorney with the ACLU Voting Rights Project, which intervened in the case along with the ACLU of Texas.
Defying the stereotype that they are apathetic or disengaged, young voters turned out in droves in the 2008 presidential election, capping off their record-setting participation in many state primaries and caucuses. Although the high water mark for turnout among voters under 30 remains 1972, which was the first presidential election after the Twenty-Sixth Amendment to the Constitution lowered the voting age to 18 years, the highest youth turnout in the past four decades happened in 2008 and 1992. Perhaps most significantly, 2008 marked the third consecutive presidential election that youth turnout increased, and nearly six out of ten young African-American voters turned out in 2008, which is the highest voter turnout among young people of any racial or ethnic group since the voting age was lowered.
Ohio elections are once again making national news, but not exactly in the way we'd hoped. County Boards of Elections are deciding whether they will be open extended hours on evenings and weekends for early in-person voting. In 2008, many counties, including Cuyahoga and Franklin (home to Cleveland and Columbus) had large numbers of voters use these extended hours.
This week marked the opening of the trial in the ACLU of Pennsylvania's challenge to the state's restrictive voter ID law. The trial began with testimony from Ms. Viviette Applewhite, a feisty 93-year-old African-American great-great-grandmother who uses a wheelchair. Ms. Applewhite, who once marched with Martin Luther King, Jr., has voted in almost every election for the past 50 years and cast her first vote for president for FDR. Despite her age and limited physical mobility, Ms. Applewhite traveled two hours from Harrisburg to Philadelphia to testify as to how she may not be able to vote in this year's presidential election because she does not have has not been able to obtain an acceptable ID under the state's new law.
The ACLU and the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights filed suit today in federal district court in Florida challenging the state's latest attack on voting rights: purging voters from voter registration rolls.
In May of this year, Secretary of State Ken Detzer distributed nearly 2,700 names for removal from the voter registration rolls, claiming that those voters on the list were not U.S. citizens. The list is fraught with inaccuracies and false positives. In Florida's most populous county, Miami-Dade, where about 1,600 of the 2,700 "ineligible" voters are registered, nearly 500 of the targeted voters have already proven to be lawfully registered U.S. citizens. That's more than a 30 percent error rate.
Like many Americans, Asher Schor is excited to vote this coming November. Asher was born and raised in Pittsburgh, works at a public interest law firm, and feels more motivated than ever to participate in the electoral process. But Asher is one of thousands of transgender Americans whose driver's license and passport do not reflect his or her true gender identity. Asher received his photo ID before his transition and the official sex listed still reads "Female." He recently joined the ACLU of Pennsylvania's lawsuit against a new and particularly onerous voter ID law, and I had a chance to discuss how the new law will impact him at the polls this November. This LGBT Pride Month, it's important to examine the ways that voter suppression efforts, like newly-enacted photo ID laws, will have a disproportionately harmful impact on those who are transgender.
You remember Wisconsin, right? It's the place where last year a battle over proposed budget cuts – that would reduce employee benefits and collective bargaining rights – prompted the prolonged protests of thousands of people in the state's capital, as well as the temporary self-exile of state senators to Illinois to delay a vote on the budget measure. Fiercely-held opinions on both sides of the issues prompted a gubernatorial recall petition drive.
Shannon Doty is a 28-year-old resident of Minnesota and a member of the Wisconsin National Guard. She is currently serving her country as a combat medic in Afghanistan, and while deployed, Shannon may very well become one of thousands of disfranchised voters in Minnesota. The ACLU filed a petition today with the Minnesota Supreme Court on behalf of voters like Shannon, seeking to strike a constitutional amendment from the general election ballot in November that would require in-person voters to show government-issued photo ID. The amendment would require any voter who lacks photo ID to cast a provisional ballot, and also contains language that will make it more difficult to cast absentee ballots and might spell the end of Election Day Registration, which significantly boosts turnout. If the Minnesota amendment remains on the ballot and passes, Shannon may not get to cast a ballot during future deployments. For obvious reasons, she doesn't carry her driver's license with her when she deploys and, as a consequence, may well be barred from voting absentee in the future. Enacted after Gov. Mark Dayton vetoed photo ID legislation last year, this proposed amendment is part of a wave of laws passed in the run-up to the 2012 general election which are fundamentally altering the way Americans cast their votes. From Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to Florida and Tennessee, voters are being asked to swallow some radical electoral changes, which are leaving many confused, discouraged, and disfranchised. The risk of suppressing the voices of Americans like Shannon who have put their lives on the line for us all should fill legislators with shame, but sadly, there seems to be very little awareness of the dramatic consequences these laws are having. In this election year, the right to vote is a candle burning at both ends: early voting periods have been reduced and there are short periods after the election for provisional voters to return with ID and see that their ballots are counted. Rather than making registration and voting more streamlined and user-friendly, legislators seem determined to insert as much bureaucracy and as many documentation scavenger hunts as possible between a voter and his/her vote. Even advances that have demonstrably increased participation in our democracy, such as Election Day Registration in places like Maine and Minnesota, are facing express or covert repeals. It should come as no surprise that the Minnesota legislature is hiding the ball on its proposed photo ID requirement for voting. Its amendment would require "government-issued" photo ID, but the ballot question put to the voters conveniently fails to mention that the IDs must be government-issued. The plain language of the amendment says it will apply to in-person voters, but says nothing so definite about absentee voters like Shannon. Nevertheless, the ballot question says it will definitely apply to "all voters." And in the guise of applying "substantially equivalent" identification and verification procedures to all voters, it may well end Election Day Registration. Rep. Winkler noted these problems, but his words unfortunately fell on deaf ears: "It seems to me what you're doing is trying to sell your amendment to the voters, to mislead them into believing that this is just about saying who you are on election day, when, in fact, your bill is a Trojan Horse to do a lot of other things to disrupt and cause chaos in Minnesota's election." We agree, but we've done more than just agree – today, we've taken action. Join us in the fight to protect the right to vote.
As we head into the 2012 presidential election, we're sure to hear competing claims on where our electorate stands and speculations on why.
Last week, The Washington Post reported on 2010 U.S. Census data that shows the number of Black and Latino registered voters fell sharply, with 2 million fewer voters in 2010 than 2008. Some election experts attributed the decline in Black and Latino registered voters to the bad economy, families relocating to find work and not re-registering to vote.

As for Columbus, ouch! That GM is really making a mess...

But ultimately, what does it say about your franchise player when your fanchise has done nothing but suck? I could see not wanting to trade a true franchise player to a true rival, but Nash and the supposed rivarlry the Jackets claim to have with the Wings don't count imo.For sure. The last thing a GM is going to do when he's forced to trade his franchise player is trade him to his biggest division rival so he has to see the guy 6 times a year.
Posted 25 July 2012 - 07:12 PM
When Howeson refused to even reply to a legitimate offer like Holland made it's pretty clear he has zero intention of making a trade. If I make you a lowball offer and you're even remotely interested in trading with me your response will be to make a counter-offer.
As far as Suter and Parise go? The Wings were the only team other than Minny to get a face-to-face meeting with Suter in the days before he signed with the WIld. Holland obviously didn't "low-ball" Suter or he wouldn't have bothered with a face-to-face.
The Wild handcuffed themselves by taking two guys on for huge cap-hits for the next 13 years. They paid well over market for a life-time contract.
If Holland blows his load on Suter AND Parise at that price he'd have a hell of a time re-signing Datsyuk, Filppula, Smith and Nyquist over the next two years.
It's not Holland's job to give antsy Wings fans something to tweet about by signing every big name player each summer while ignoring how it impacts the team's cap situation for the next 13 years. There's a reason why the Wild landed Suter and Parise instead of a legitimate franchise.

Nash getting out of Columbus is the equivalent of dropping a load after being constipated for nine years... I'm happy for him and wish him well with the Rags.

Filppula > DubinskyHere is a piece on what Holland was thinking when trying to get Nash. I can see why it didn't work. Most of the speculators on here were right on the pieces needed to get Nash.

Wings need some Ryan Pulock in the 1st round, a goal scorer in the 2nd round and rounds 3-7 all guys 6'4 or bigger. Please sign Dekeyser to play with Smith. <--Dekeyser signed, Paired next year. Mark your calendars.

Thanks for that. I'll have another iteration of the plugin and see if that's closer to your expectations. I'll post back as soon as it's available
Hi rhart,
Here is the reply from engineering's review. Overall they said it was a great start - but there are a few issues/suggestions:
1. Insight 1.8.3 was officially released so there is no need to use Insight 1.5.0
2. Managed beans which are declared in faces-confog.xml are not captured by this plugin
3. There is no need to capture all the managed bean's public methods, just the action methods
4. There is no need to capture all the validator's public method, just the "validate" method
5. More useful data should be extracted for the different operations and a FTL template should be provided for each operation type
6. JSF Lifecycle execute: what action was executed? what was returned?, for example (taken from travel app):
Screen shot 2012-08-21 at 15.01.18 PM.jpg
7. JSF Lifecycle render: what view was rendered?
8. JSF validator:
a. What value or component was validated?
b. Add TraceErrorAnalyzer to locate validation errors
9. JSF endpoint: JSF endpoint label should be more informational, and the endpoint name must be unique for every action - this is very important since insight collects metrics only on resources (Endpoint is a resource)
10. There isn't any reference to Ajax (was introduced in JSF 2.0)
11. There isn't any reference to phase listeners, action listeners and system events
There is an additional 12th comment for navigation - but I am not sure what engineering wanted to see here. I am clarifying.
Thanks. One of the developers had already posted them on this thread. I'm adressing them now and will post back when done. Cheers.
Sweet! Weird it didn't show that reply in my UI. I had asked Shachar to post here earlier because I couldn't get his screencap. I'll leave you two to work this out.
I've been doing some digging and ultimatley the managed beans are resolved by javax.el.ELResolver which I'm thinking is too general a class to collect on as the application itself may use these classes.
Both Mojarra and MyFaces invoke actions using an action listener which I can use to get the action source. This though only gives me the action expression and not the actual resolved class name. So, is this ok do you think? Would you be happy if the plugin reported the action expression rather than class#method?
Hope that makes sense.
Hi Rus, have we completed the iterations yet for engineering acceptance? Not sure if shachar got back to you on your question. Love to get this wrapped up, posted for all to use, and of course, you paid!
I'm still waiting for an answer from shachar. I private messaged yesterday as it happens.
A lot of the changes have been made though so hopefully I won't be much longer after I get a reply and work out a way forward with "actions".
Sorry for the (very) late response (my apologies)
1. class#method - it's sufficient, though I think there is a way to get the class from the context (I'm not sure it's working it is just an idea)
2. ELResolver - I agree that it's very general (there might another way to do it) but I must emphasis the importance of resolving the actions - one of the main and useful Insight features is the metrics collection and aggregation. Insight is not a profiler (though some think it is). Insight only collects metrics on resources such as servers, applications and endpoints. To help the user locate and understand the problems in his applications we must supply a way to distinguish between the different endpoints and to give as much hints as we can so the developer will be able to track back the problematic piece of code.Code:public static Class<?> getBeanClass(Stirng expression) {Class<?> toReturn = null;int index = expression.indexOf('.');if (index > -1) {FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();String beanName = expression.substring(0, index+1);Object bean = ctx.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{" + beanName + "}").getValue(ctx);toReturn = bean != null ? bean.getClass() : null;}return toReturn;}

Happy Valentine's Day! How about a free shape to start your day? This week's shape brought back memories of my elementary school days. Tasty frozen juice pops used to come in a package just like this one. Anyone else remember those? Well, yesterday a frozen juice box...today, the perfect last minute Valentine's treat box.
Assembly went something like this...
I added adhesive to one straight edge and adhered it to the other straight edge creating a tube.
Then, I pinched one side together {making sure to line up the scallops} and stitched along that edge. A fairly strong adhesive would work as well if you don't feel like sewing. This is also the point where you'll want to fill it with treats. I'm going to be honest and say I was a little distracted by the cute factor and FORGOT that step on my first one. ooops!
Next, I pinched together the other side in the opposite direction and stitched it closed.
Besides Valentine's goodies, I'm dreamin' up other things I could use this for... filled with confetti and a note for a birthday or to throw in as a treat for a school lunch, or a party favor at a bridal or baby shower. Great thing is, once you download the shape, it's yours to use again and again.
Have a heart filled day! :)

I think you need to let your dh say it so that he can once and for all nip it in the bud. Since it's coming from you, she was miffed and once again showed how determined she was NOT to respect the boundary by asking your dh what was wrong with you instead of knowing full well why. (since you have said it numerous times before)At the very next mention of the father's wife your husband needs to tell her firmly, "Grandmother, I love you and want to spend time with you. But as stated before, I do not want to hear about my father or his family. Please respect my wishes so that we may continue to enjoy our outings together. Do I have your promise that you will not bring him up, directly or indirectly? Now, did you hear about what happened last night with dd?" and change the subject. If she persists, then ask for the waiter to bring to go boxes and cut the dinner short. She will get that you guys aren't going to allow her to continue being coy.

Sunlight beams down on the stretches of green fields of Willamette Valley Fruit Company, saturating acres of bushes and trees with enough sugary photosynthesis energy to produce up to 12 million pounds of fruit a year. The family in charge of the ripe bounty plucks rhubarb, strawberries, and five types of blackberries before individually flash-freezing them at their peak of plumpness. They then lovingly pour berries into up to 2,000 dairy-free, handmade pie crusts a day. Once assembled, the pies flood homes with appley aromas as they bake for the first time in customers' ovens. In addition to the made-from-scratch pies, Willamette Valley Fruit Company transforms their berries into jams and snack bars, the latter of which can be used to make the least intimidating possible wall for a jail cell.
During the growing season, the gently sloped roofs of Hoffman Farms Store's historical barns and quaint country store barely peek out over the farm's acres of lush fruit fields, as if politely looking for prospective visitors. Since its founding in 1983, the farm has seen a handful of renovations, including the building of raised vegetable beds and the conversion of an old silo top into portable shade for patrons who come to pick their own strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. The rustic country store is stocked with locally grown produce, including pre-picked berries, homemade salsas, and delectable cobblers, so visitors can leave with something sweet even on rainy days or days when it's raining men.
City Farm facilitates fruitful and sustainable relationships between its customers and Mother Earth by filling personal gardens with an abundance of edible and medicinal plants. City Farm carries plant species both common and unusual to the area's climate, and dresses up gardens with ornamental landscaping and flowering plants. The center's botanical experts embrace ethical farming practices by carrying only open-pollinated and non-GMO seeds and feeding dirt with organic fertilizers made from kelp meal, fish meal, and bone meal. Using these ingredients to sprout their own produce aisle, gardeners can transfer their hard work into pantries with City Farm's home-preservation supplies such as cheesecloth and mason jars.
In addition to vending supplies, plants, and even baby chicks, City Farm holds workshops and classes throughout the year, focusing in on season-specific gardening topics. After perusing the wares or filling eardrums with tricks of the trade, patrons can enjoy coffee, tea, and fresh pastries at The Garden Well, an onsite food truck. The ever-changing menu includes peanut-butter cookies, egg-and-sausage empanadas, and caramel-apple-pie turnovers disguised as broccoli.
When Ken Knight first started Gateway Produce more than 15 years ago, he sold his goods out of a small tent. As demand grew, so did his inventory, which now occupies an expansive indoor space filled with stacks of fresh produce that almost overflow from their displays. Sourced from local farms, merchandise includes fruit such as plums and watermelons, seasonal items, and dairy products. Gateway also has a grocery section that gathers different ethnic foods and everyday edibles such as chicken tenders, energy drinks, and treats for the neighborhood guard lion.
Expanding on a tradition of supplying firewood and landscaping supplies that stems back to 1968, the Stroupe Family gave the public a literal taste of their ranching lifestyle when they decided to start selling their locally raised meats in 2009. All meat––including tenderloin steaks, pork spare ribs, and whole free-range chickens––comes from animals raised without antibiotics or hormones, which ensures a more peaceful upbringing unmarred by temper tantrums over the cattle's curfew. These animals are also pasture raised on a vegetarian diet of fruits, vegetables, grass, and hay, and all meat is cut and processed at a local USDA-approved facility to guarantee its quality.

My New Favorites
These are wonderfully comfortable jeans. I have a very active job and these fit like a comfy pair of yoga pants. I have an athletic build with some extra bulk in my thighs, these do not bind or draw added attention to areas I would prefer they not and also offer some support to my behind.
The color is quite true to photo and this is now my third pair of Rag $ Bone.
I think they are now my new go to label.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

These jeans were super soft & a great fall color, but I found they ran really big and did not keep their shape. Returned.
Sizing: Larger than Expected

I like J Brand better
I needed to replace my J Brand jeggings, and I thought I'd try Rag and Bone. I like the color and the fit of J Brand better, I think they are more forgiving.

Love these jeans. I did go down a size as suggested by the reviewer of the same jean, but she bought the iris colour. I love the wine colour because we are heading into winter in Down Under (Australia). I wore them today and I'm still wearing them because they are so comfortable and they haven't lost their shape. I decided to get the iris colour as well after wearing the jeans today, but my size is no longer available (28). They are very flattering to the figure and don't tighten up around the waist area after eating, which is a plus. Perfect jeans, and if only I could get the iris as well! I am 5' 5" and usually wear a size 29 jean. If you like skinny jeans these are a must have.

LOVE these - buy 1 size down!
I followed the other reviews and bought size 26 (I am normally size 27). Size 26 is perfect. I love these - they are a deep blue and a soft fabric, sort of not like denim but definitely NOT like "jeggings". These are a great, sexy, simple pair of jeans.
Sizing: Larger than Expected

Love them
My first pair of rag and bone jeans and i will definitely buy again. Very soft/stretchy and comfortable. I love the fit and colour (iris). I'm 5 ft 4" and 114 lbs. my legs are a 30" inseam so these are a bit long but i just fold them over once. i usually have trouble with jeans gaping in the back but not with these. Overall a great purchase!

Love Rag&Bone
This pair of jeans are stunning! The colour is amazing and has something unique and classy...this is my first Rag&Bone jeans purchase and i can definitely say that the fit is pretty much the same with JBrand...I'm a JBrand girl since six maybe seven years and i'm a solid size 25 for this pair no exceptions and voila' perfect fit! Very soft material too...

I am a fan!
I genuinely like Rag&Bone the brand itself. So I am kind of a brand loyalist. However, I care about the fit and price, when I am filling up my wardrobe. I was skeptical about these at first because I didn't really like the fit of Rag&Bone leggings jeans.
But these Skinny Jean styles are longer in length and a little thicker in material that they fit well while not looking like some cheap legging jeans. It is worth the price. And the color is quite unique compared to those from street brands.
Lastly, these stretch but not too much! So I think taking your normal size is good. I am a 24 and I got a 24, it worked well for me. If you are in between sizes than size down.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Great Color/ Soooo cozy
Great pair of jeans! Most cozy pair of skinny's I own. Love the colour. I normally take a 28 but I read the reviews and sized down which was great advice! They fit amazing. Will definitely be purchasing more jeans from this line!

18 Instruments for olds in the MUSICAL TOYS Category
When it comes to picking Instruments among all the MUSICAL TOYS for kids of all ages, we have a simple, reliable approach. First, we send in our SEAL Team of Child-Experts and they go to work. They look at, play with, and select only the top Instruments. They base their selection on play value, durability, uniqueness, design and safety. Then the Instruments under review must be equal to or better than any of the other Instruments on the site. If they are, they immediately go on the site. If they are not, we dump them. And every year, we get rid of the bottom performers and add, new top Instruments to our selection of MUSICAL TOYS.

Opening day.
It was opening day at our favorite catch and release trout lake. We had never fished the lake on the opener and were a little concerned it might be crowded. Fortunately for us there wasn't another sole on the lake.
Randy by himself and enjoying the beauty of having the lake all to one's self.
We were hoping for Barb to catch a Lahonton Cutthroat, as this would be its native water and would certainly count for her Heritage Trout Challenge. We had caught them here in the past, but they were somewhat rare.
Barb's first Heritage Trout. Now the madness begins.
Considering our experiences in the past we were surprised at the catch rate of the Lahontans. Everybody in our group caught plenty. Barb and I caught over a dozen each.
I was surprised how small the Lahontans were, It made us wonder if DFG had done a stocking, or if these were from a healthy spawn.
Christy and Randy spent more time at the dam and caught more of a variety of fish including; browns, rainbows and Christy even caught what I thought was a mountain whitefish.
Christy with a nice little brownie.
Barb also caught a couple of little brownies.
Not sure of the make of this fish, but I think it could be a mountain whitefish.
We expected much bigger fish based on our past experiences, but we had a great time and it has started the quest for Barb's Heritage Trout Challenge.

Bears' Jay Cutler to miss 49ers game with concussion
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The Chicago Bears say quarterback Jay Cutler will miss Monday's game at San Francisco because of a concussion.
Jason Campbell is expected to start against the 49ers in his place.
Cutler's status was in question after he sat out the second half of Sunday's loss to Houston. The Bears believe he was injured on a helmet-to-helmet hit by the Texans' Tim Dobbins, who was fined $30,000 by the league, late in the second quarter.
Cutler initially did not show any symptoms and took seven more snaps in the first half. It wasn't until halftime that the symptoms showed up, and the Bears went with Campbell in the loss to Houston.

Opening Day 2010!
The day is finally here! What seemed like the LONGEST offseason ever is finally over. For baseball fans, opening day is more exciting than christmas morning (or atleast for me it is)
I couldn't sleep last night, kept tossing and turning, dreaming of the brand new season when you can say heck yeah we are tied for 1st place we have a chance! After a few months reality sits in. But today I am optimistic and excited!
I arrived at PNC park around 10am, early enough to enjoy the festivites and grab some brunch. I don't think ive ever seen so many Pirate fans before! I wish they came out like that all season but unfortuantly they don't.
After a little venture I went to watch the pirates batting pratice. I must admit I did feel a little cool flashing my season ticket holder card for early access.
Chad Billingsley warming up in the bullpen.
Dodgers taking batting pratice.
With Matt of "The Pittsburgh Peas" if you don't read his blog already…what are you waiting for!
I Love Stan!
Newly acquired Bucco, Raynor.
2010 Dodgers
2010 Pirates
The Pirates taking the field on opening day!
Dodgers Joe Torre and Pirates John Russell.
You couldn't ask for a more beautiful day for a baseball game. It was in the 80′s, party sunny and it didn't rain! (YES!)
I was a little dissapointed listening to a lot of the Pirate fans around me. A lot of them had no idea who any of the players were. I get not knowing a few, there were a lot of trades. But really? I heard people asking who Garrett Jones, Andy Laroche, Evan Meek, and Ross Ohlendorf were. Shame Pittsburgh!!
I know its still early in the season and maybe I shouldn't even bring it up yet but I just can't help myself. What are we going to do with Andy LaRoche. Ugh! When he missed that ball and costed us 2 runs I thought that could be the difference in the loss in the game. (I know in the end it didn't matter but still) We were playing the Dodgers for heck's sake! Who honestly thought we were going to beat them 11-5? Not only did he mess up, he also went 0-4. He sure has a lot to improve or he will be jobless come June/July when Pedro Alvarez comes up. PEDRO! PEDRO!
Garrett Freaking Jones. He is so ridicolous!! 1st at bat a BOMB (457 ft into the river) 2nd at bat another HR. I really wish he would have done a curtain call I was standing and screaming for it! He also made two great catches today as well. He is a gem and we are so lucky we got him!
I was excited to see Jefff Clement start the 2010 season at first base. From what I hear he has a great bat. He did pretty good and even caught a pretty good line drive.
I was a little dissapointed that Aki Iwamura went 0-4. I don't know much about the guy (except that he had 6 gold gloves in Japan thanks to the Pirates score board) I'm excited to see him this season though, everyone says great things.
Zack Duke got the win on opening day, his second year in a row. It's also the forth year in a row the Pirates have won opening day!
Welcome to Pittsburgh Ryan Church! When JR took out Duke and Church went in to PH i was a little confused why he was taken out so early. Ryan Church hit a 3 RBI double! I'll never 2nd guess JR in the future. =)
I don't know about you guys but when A McCutchen or Jones comes up to bat they remind me of a Manny or an ARod. No, no not the talent! Deffinitly not there yet. I mean, when they come up to bat they give me that sense of "anything is possible" and "anything can happen" baseball miracles and I haven't felt that from a Pirate player in a really long time. Anyone else?
RTJR! Pirates beat the Dodgers 11-5

First: that pic of downtown outside of PNC's right field is amazing. Wow. Second: you have great seats. I thought I had good ones at the Trop, but yours are amazing. Third: you guys have some pretty darn good hitters on that team (Jones, McCutch), don't let 'em go!
what a great opening day the pirates had! I got to watch it because i live in los angeles and the Dodgers are televised as well as the angels . It was nice to see! Very fun club you have
best of luck this season!
