Welcome to Brad & Amanda Collins Combinded Family Tree!
My name is Brad Collins
This site was created by using MyHeritage.com. This is a great system that allows anyone like you and I to create a private site for our family, build their own family tree and share family photos.
To the members that I have invted to join this family tree let it be known that this family tree has both my wife's family tree and my family tree. With that being said you are only related to only about 25 percent or less of the people on this family tree depending on your position in the family tree. My wife and I are related to about 50 percent and our children are nearly 100 percent related to everyone in this tree.
Dear AncestorYour tombstone stands among the rest, neglected and alone. The name and the date are chiseled out on polished, marbled stone. It reaches out to all who cares. It is too late to mourn for you did not know that I exist. You died and I was born, yet each of us are cell of you in flesh, in blood, in bone. Our heart contracts and beats a pulse entirely not our own. Dear Ancestor, the place you filled years ago spreads out among the ones who follow. The ones who would have loved you so. I wonder where you lived and who you loved, what you did and where you went. I often wonder of the hardships that you endured. I think often of the joy you felt from the simplest of things, things we all take for granted. I wonder if you knew that someday I would find this spot, and come to visit you.

I am also currently working on a separate family tree trying to link my Great Great Grandfather Silas Josiah Lee to the famous Lee Family of Virginia. The Lee family of Virginia are related to George Washington, Robert E. Lee, Benijamin Harrison, Queen Elizabeth and their family lines. You may view this tree by clicking on family trees then click on the drop down box in the top right hand corner of the family tree and choose "Lee Family of Virginia". My Great Great Grandfather was born in Prince William County, Virginia. At one time the famous Lee family owned most of this area. I am about 90 percent sure he is from this same Lee family line. I just have to research it more deeply, as I am not finding it through the internet, It may take some trips to libraries to search records.

The Queen's American Ancestorsby Hector Bolitho
When Queen Elizabeth II visited Virginia in October 1957, there was one episode overlooked in the brilliant celebrations; she was given an oil painting--no more than a copy, of a copy, of a portrait by Sir Godfrey Kneller. But it was of her American ancestor, Augustine Warner II, and it adds a surprising face to the immense collection of portraits of the Queen's forbears whose roots were otherwise still in Britain or Europe.Mr. Anthony Wagner, Richmond Herald, was the first to trace this remarkable link with colonial Virginia, that relates Queen Elizabeth, through a Bowes-Lyon marriage, back to both George Washington and General Robert E. Lee. Augustine Warner I, born in England or Wales, in 1611, and who emigrated to Virginia when he was 39, was the ancestor of all three of them, through the marriages of his son and daughter. As Mr. Wagner wrote at the time of his research; "It is somewhat ironical that among Washington's nearest of kin now living, should be numbered the Queen of Great Britain".The first Augustine Warner must have been a gentleman of some importance; he used the arms of an English family--now difficult to identify--and he left England in the first year of Oliver Cromwell's "reign", no doubt to satisfy his beliefs, and to save his fortune. When he arrived in Virginia he built a fine house on an arm of the Severn, that flows into the York river and then into Chesapeake Bay, where the first English emigrants had sailed, in 1607, and formed the tragic settlement of Jamestown. There were dangers still, but Augustine Warner prospered; he became a Colonel of the Militia, a Justice, and a Burgess in the General Assembly. He sent his only son, also Augustine, back to England to be educated at the Merchant Taylor's School, for it was the habit with these southerners to cling to their Englishness, while the emigrants to the northern states tried to mould a separate American character, and forget the land of their nativity.Augustine II also became a public man; when he returned to Virginia, with his smattering of English education, he prospered and was elected Burgess for Gloucester County, then Speaker to the House. He was a gallant ancestor for any family tree, with more vigour and will than the faint copy of the Kneller portrait reveals. As soon as Nathaniel Bacon began his armed rebellion against the royal governor, in 1676, Warner led troops against him, in the King's name. There is a record of him returning to Warner Hall after the rebellion was quelled: he was described as "a rather thorough Royalist . . . an honest, worthy Person and most Loyall sufferer by the Late Rebells; who was plundered as much as any, and yet speakes as little of his losses, tho' they were very greate".General Robert E. LeeAugustine Warner II, had a sister, Sarah, who married Lawrence Townley, and they were the ancestors of General Robert E. Lee. Augustine himself married Mildred Reade, daughter of a neighbour. She also was a person of character, worthy to be the ancestress of both Queen Elizabeth II and George Washington. When Augustine died in 1681, his widow, with her daughters to defend, kept her husband's arms and ammunition and refused to give them up until they were taken from her, by force.The name Warner disappears from the story: the only memorials to Augustine I and Augustine II are an early Victorian mansion, still called Warner Hall, built on the site of their mid-seventeenth century house--and the little graveyard near by. I went there, the winter before last, and scraped the snow from the flat tomb stones so that I could read the names, and the dates of their birth and death.
George WashingtonThe interest moves to the daughters of Augustine II, and his widow, who had the care of them when her husband died. The eldest, named Mildred, after her mother, married Lawrence Washington and was grandmother of the first President of the United States of America. Mary was married to John Smith, of Purton, another fine plantation nearby. They are the branch of the tree that interests us most because it is from them that we trace the way, through the Bowes-Lyon family, to the present Queen.The life of these 17th Century planters on the Tidewater of Virginia was comfortable and almost elegant. There was still danger from a2 chance savage arrow, for the Indians were not yet all subdued. But the houses of the prosperous settlers from England were set in splendid gardens; they were furnished with libraries and treasures brought across the Atlantic and served by numerous negro slaves. Many of the houses remain, in 20th Century Virginia, alienated from the less tranquil Yankee north and preferring the ghosts of what was, to the realism of the rest of America.Mary Warner, married to John Smith, remained in Virginia, but their daughter, Mildred, brought the blood back to England; she was the wife of Robert Porteus, another Virginian planter and a member of "His Majesty's Council or Upper House or Legislature in that Province". His house on the Tidewater had the nice name of Newbottle. Robert Porteus was married in 1700 and he stayed in Virginia until 1720, long enough for Mildred to present him with the first of his big brood of nineteen children.Changes in VirginiaBy 1720, the pattern of life in this part of Virginia had changed. From the early vicissitudes of the Jamestown colony had emerged a small landed aristocracy, of families like the Warners, the Smiths and the ancestors of Robert Porteus. But the hinterland was now being opened up by hordes of new settlers, and there were three times as many negroes as there had been at the beginning of the century. Small farmers and planters interfered with the patriarchal pattern in which Robert Porteus had been brought up, so he decided to emigrate to England, with his family, "quitting a situation so perfectly independent and comfortable" so that his children could have "better instruction" at English schools.Robert Porteus settled with his family, first at York and then at Ripon. He was buried in the south aisle of the Cathedral and his white marble memorial, high on the wall, tells us, in an amiable flow of words, the details of his life. We read, Near this Place are deposited the Remains of ROBERT PORTEUS ESQR. a native of Virginia, & a Member of His Majesty's Council or upper House of Legislature in that Province. From thence he removed to England, and resided first at York, afterwards in this town, where he died August 8, 1758, Aged 79 years.Duchess of MarlboroughWith the return of Robert Porteus a new theme came into the history of the relationship between Virginia and England. He was an absentee landlord and the victim of "negligence or dishonesty" on the part of his agents who sent him, as he complained, "little more than a fourth part of what ought to have been his real income". But he remained in England and when his first wife died, he was married again, to another Virginian--Elizabeth Jennings, said to be distantly related to Sarah Jennings, Duchess of Marlborough. They produced a second family, including one remarkable son--the eighteenth of the brood of nineteen. He was Beilby Porteus, the scholar and poet who became Bishop of Leicester and then, in 1787, Bishop of London. The vigorous blood enlivened by the generations in Virginia had not become pale: Beilby Porteus was a belligerent leader in the ecclesiastical changes of his time; he was an ardent evangelist, a supporter of Sunday schools, and was strong-willed enough to turn against the source of his family fortunes in his fight to abolish slavery.The Bowes-Lyon FamilyThe important son, who belongs to the theme of this story, leading to the Bowes-Lyon family, had been born in Virginia in 1705. He was named Robert, after his father, and he also went into the Church, but more modestly than his younger half-brother.We walk near the Cambridgeshire-Bedfordshire border for the next scene in the story: from Potton, three miles to the parish of Cockayne Hatley.Robert Porteus had been admitted to Cambridge University in 1725; in 1736, when he was thirty-one years old, he married Judith, daughter of Thomas Cockayne, whose family had been lords of the manor for 300 years. The story loses its colonial flavour and becomes quietly English. Within the park of Thomas Cockayne was the little church of St. John the Baptist, with its Flemish carvings, to which Robert Porteus was appointed rector.From then, through four modest generations, we come to the marriage of importance. The Reverend Robert Porteus had named his daughter Mildred, in memory of Virginia, and she married Robert Hodgson of Congleton, in the County of Chester. Their daughter, Frances Dora, married Claude Lyon-Bowes--later Bowes-Lyon--13th Earl of Strathmore, in 1853.Thus we come, through nine generations, from Augustine Warner, rejecting England in Cromwell's time, to his descendant, married to Lord Strathmore when Queen Victoria had been on the throne for sixteen years. The Queen's notions about the marriages of her children were to change soon after this; there came a time when, disgusted by the jealousies and intrigues of princes in Europe, she encouraged a different fate for her family, she wrote that "Money without goodness or affection was useless" and that "a young lady of the nobility, well brought up," was far better as a wife for one of her sons than "an unsuitable princess".The pattern of alliance was being formed, quietly: in 1855, the 14th Earl of Strathmore was born and in 1881, he married a daughter of the Rev. Charles William Frederick Cavendish-Bentinek. They were the parents of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother whose marriage to the Duke of York, in 1923, inspire the monarchy with a power of character and graciousness that has enriched it into our own time.
A road east and west, passed thru the middle of this section many years ago but has long since been closed and there is now no ingress to the cemetery. I walked over the plowed ground and thru two fields of tall corn before reaching it.
As one would expect, tall trees, vines and some grass make locomotion difficult. The markers are fallen or broken and many may be hid by the fallen vegetation of the years.
The Center Christian Church is at some distance from this cemetery. A deed to this plot of land was made to this church and they are still the owners of it. The Grant County Deed Book, P pp. 254 reads as follows:
"that James Scott and his wife Annis Scott of Grant County Indiana in consideration of the Christian love & feelings toward the human family generally, have granted, bargained, donated and set apart for public use as a burying ground to inter any and every person that has not forfeited the laws of their God and Country and the further consideration of one dollar to us paid by Dugan Wall, Elwood Arnett, Marmaduke Mendenhall and John Harrold trustees of the Christian Church - Deer Creek, Grant Co., Indiana, and to their successors in office as trustees of said church forever the following tract or parcel of land" then follows a description of the tract. This is signed by James Scott and his wife Annis Scott. William Neal, Surveyor May 1, 1856.
Note: Upon further investigation, I have found there were actually two Christian Churches. The following information comes from the "Grant County Atlas of 1877" and information from the present records of the Center Christian Church. I also have a copy of the deed listed above. "In about the year 1850, the Christian Church (New Light) built a church in Section 28, and organized a lively congregation; but of later years a number of the leading members moved to other localities, and the church has been discontinued. Rev. Cain Mullen was pastor. The second Christian Church was started in 1874. The cemetery was given to the first one. None of the records I have examined so far have given a clue how the second church inherited the cemetery, however in about 1920 the second church (from their own records) relinquished ownership of the cemetery to the township. From the Atlas of 1877, I found the following about the second Christian Church; The Church of Christ organized a church at Center School House in 1874, with a membership of thirteen; they now have a membership of seventy-five. They have a church edifice of the capacity to seat 400 persons, valued at $1600. The church is in a flourishing condition, and has a Sabbath school established at the place of worship. Rev. F. M. Collins is pastor or evangelist; William H. Ayers and William I. Millner, Elders; John Herrald, Cyrus W. Gibson, Jasper Wilson and William Jones, Deacons." This is the same Center Christian Church in existance today. (2000) Actually I believe the first one was called Christian Church (New Lights) of Deer Creek, not Center as was written by the DAR above. Investigation to find the name of the McCombs whose stone is in this cemetery brought this information from Miss Cornelia McCombs of Fairmount who is his grand daughter, "my grandfather is buried in the Scott Cemetery. His given name was John Young McCombs. I am not sure that grandfather was in the War of 1812, but think he was for he was about the right age for service at that time." The above was written by the DAR in the 1940's.
I visited this cemetery in the late summer of 1996. It's not much different than it was 50 years ago when read by the DAR. There are no trees left standing today. There is only a small plot out in the middle of a bean field. There is ground cover called Vinca, growing profusely, mixed with Poison Ivy and various other weeds. We had to walk down a fence row past a corn field and almost all the way across the bean field to reach this cemetery. It is located in the S.E. 1/4 of the N.W. 1/4 of Section 23 N. Twp 23 N. Range 7E. Liberty Twp. Grant County, Indiana. Leave Marion on State Road 9 South and go to county road 800 S. turn right or west and go to 200 W. The cemetery is in the middle of the mile between 800 and 900 S. - 100 and 200 W. It was a very long walk back to the cemetery, but is was worth the effort. If you plan on visiting this cemetery you should get permission from the owner of the land surrounding it. The Center Christian Church has long since been abandoned and I don't know who the proper owner of this cemetery is now. Many of the old abandoned cemeteries are in the hands of the township trustees. I did notice while I was back there that some time probably, around Memorial Day, someone had put a number of flags up in memoriam to dead soldiers. This is usually done by the American Legion in honor of soldiers who fought in the various wars.
This is a very small plot. But you can see a number of unmarked graves. I am guessing there are probably at least twice as many graves here, than shows in the readings. The earliest grave I found is Daniel Felton son of S. & M. Felton who died Nov. 8, 1856. The one listed by the DAR turned out to be in error. They had 1854 but it was 1874. I only found 2 other graves that were not previously listed. I am sorry to say there were three graves I did not find at this time. Keep in mind this doesn't mean they aren't there. There were 2 thickets that could have hidden stones. We tried to check these but found nothing at this time.
One more interesting thing to point out is the notation in the deed that states the Center Christian Church was at Deer Creek, Grant County, Indiana. Was there a small settlement or town called Deer Creek at this time? This is the first time I had ever seen mention of this. Also the road that is no longer there wasn't in the middle of the section but in the middle of the half section. Maps of the early 1920's or 30's show this road. The owner of the farm told me it angled over toward the cemetery and crossed over toward the east on the north side of the creek that crosses 100 W.

"Brazil, Ind., Dec 13, 1916.—David Howard Keller, age forty-five, an employee of the Hydraulic Press Brick Company, was shot through the abdomen last night by a man named Archibald, of St. Louis, Mo., a guard employed by the hydraulic company during the clay workers strike. Keller, in company with Elmer Rooney and a man named Bagley, employees at the plant in the daytime, had been drinking last night, police say, and went to the coal and clay mine of the company. Officials of the company say the men had no business in the yard at night. They turned on an electric pump at the mine and a volt meter in the power house showed the pump was running.
"The guard knew at once that some one was in the mine and supposed it to be strikers intending to commit violence. Hearing the men down in the mine, he called to them to come out. There was no response. Archard, the guard, saw the glitter of a rifle barrel carried by one of the men and fired into the darkness of the mine. The bullet struck Keller in the abdomen. The other two men then called to the guard not to shoot again. When it was learned that Keller was seriously wounded Archard ran away and has not been seen since, the heavy snow which fell covering up his tracks. Keller lives near the plant, and has a wife and seven children. The men declare that they did not go into the mine for the purpose of committing violence, but merely to see the electric pump run."
Source: The Indianapolis News, 13 Dec 1917, p. 8.
Two days later (15 Dec), the newspaper reported that Keller had died and that Archard had not yet been found.
Hello Family!
Amanda and I have been busy the past month, not only with the holidays but with genealogy research of famous people who are said to be related to us. This was on my father's side (Collins) of the family.
As a kid, growing up, I often heard stories that we were related to General Robert E. Lee, President George Washington and Queen Elizabeth. It was said to be through my great grandma Emily Caroline Collins (Lee)'s family line. I also was told that President Grant and Samuel "Uncle Sam" Wilson was related through my grandma Leah Ethaline Collins (Nusbaumer)'s line, which I did established the Samuel Wilson connection to the family tree.
I was having problems, because, I do my research by using records off the internet and it is limited. There is not much stuff on the internet or the "myheritage" program that I use, when I was researching my great great great grandpa Silas Josiah Lee. I had hit a dead end and the next step was to start going to the libraries to dig for information. I am planning on going someday to libraries, but I had another idea.
My cousin, Caroline Gause (Houseman), my aunt Emily Cole's (Houseman (Collins) daughter and her husband John came to visit me this past summer and brought me a bunch of papers of family records. I have been slowly going through them trying map out and to find the connection of these famous people to our family. It's hard to do because it all hand written out and it's hard to follow and they were done in the 60's. I got the idea to start another family tree project using the "myheritage" program and to work from the top down to see if I can get the Lee family line connected to our great great great grandpa Silas Josiah Lee. So, far I have not got the connection but I feel that I am very close.
The Lee family line of Virginia is very interesting to say the least. They were very important people as most of them were in politics and wealthy and most served in the military as high ranking officers. Using the papers and my family tree program (myheritage) I have connected George Washington, General Lee and his family, Queen Elizabeth I, & II, Prince Charles and his kids all together. They are indeed related to each other. I found that Helen Keller is a cousin to General Lee. I even linked back to a guy who came to America on the "Mayflower".
I am currently working my way down the branches of the Lee family tree as there are hundreds of possibilities to connect to our family. I will post the family tree that I am working sometime next week, so you can see what I have done so far. It will be on this site but in a different tree, as I am keeping them separate until I can get them connected to our family line.
If you want to read more about the Lee family here is a link to a General Robert E. Lee website, and you can keep clicking on links of his parents, grandparents, etc. and read the stories about them, very interesting!
Happy New Year!
Brad & Amanda Collins

Jeff Collins served on the USS John King (DDG-3) a destroyer in the US Navy
History of the USS John King
USS John King (DDG-3) was a Charles F. Adams-class guided missile armed destroyer in the United States Navy named for Medal of Honor recipient John King.
John King was laid down by the Bath Iron Works at Bath in Maine on 25 August 1958, launched on 30 January 1960 by Mrs. Paul J. Kilday, wife of Representative Kilday of Texas and commissioned on 4 February 1961; Comdr. A. M. Sackett in command. The John King was ordered as DD-953, reclassified as DDG-953 on August 16, 1956 and reclassified as DDG-3 on June 26, 1957. John King participated in blockade duties during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962.
Following shakedown training out of Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, John King carried out weapons tests on the East Coast before arriving Norfolk 7 September 1961 for regular duty. One of a new class of guided missile destroyers, she featured latest hull design with all-aluminum superstructure and mounted the very latest in modern armament and electronic equipment. Departing 27 November 1961, the ship cruised to England and Northern Europe until 1 January 1962, when she sailed from Dublin for the Mediterranean. There, John King joined the 6th Fleet in its constant role of peacekeeping in this troubled region. After her return to Norfolk, Virginia in April, the ship conducted missile firing exercises and training in the Caribbean. She arrived Washington 10 July 1962 for a 4 day stay, entertaining a group of Senators and Congressmen as well as Secretary of the Navy Fred Korth.
Following additional exercises, John King entered Norfolk Navy Yard 11 October 1962. Soon afterward, the introduction of offensive missiles into Cuba precipitated a crisis; and, as Navy ships placed a quarantine around the island, the ship quickly finished her repairs and joined the blockade 6 November. After the crisis eased, the ship remained in the Caribbean operating with the Navy's newest and biggest carrier, the nuclear-powered USS Enterprise (CVN-65). She returned to Norfolk 8 December 1962.
John King departed for her second Mediterranean cruise 6 February 1963. After visiting various ports on 6th Fleet maneuvers, she steamed to Kiel, Germany, 23 June 1963, then returned to Norfolk 17 July 1963. The next twelve months were spent on training and readiness exercises off the Virginia Capes and in the Caribbean, including a week at the Anti-submarine Warfare School, Key West, Florida, in April 1964.
The destroyer sailed for the Mediterranean Sea once more 3 August 1964 and joined the 6th Fleet 16 August near the strife-torn island of Cyprus. She remained in the Mediterranean until the end of 1964.
John King returned to Norfolk 29 January and operated along the East Coast until sailing for the "Med" 14 October. Following 4 months of operations with the 6th Fleet, she returned to Norfolk 7 March 1966. In the summer she visited the Mediterranean and recrossed the Atlantic on NATO Exercise "Straight Laced." Back at homeport in the fall she operated out of Norfolk until sailing for another 6th Fleet deployment 10 January 1967. Her movements were concentrated in the Western Mediterranean until she sailed for home 11 May. Arriving Norfolk on the 19th, John King entered the Norfolk Naval Shipyard 27 June 1967 for an overhaul to prepare for future service.
John King was decommissioned on 30 March 1990, stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 12 January 1993 and sold for scrap on 10 February 1999.

Fort Dorchester avenged a loss to the team that kept it from qualifying for the playoffs last year.
Ashley Ridge upset Fort Dorchester last year in the final game of the regular season to prevent the Patriots from getting the points they needed to qualify for the state playoffs.
On Friday, the Patriots (7-4, 3-2 in Region 8-AAAA) played shutdown defense for most of the rematch to hand Ashley Ridge (4-7, 2-3) a 14-0 loss. However the Swamp Foxes avoided the Patriots' fate from a year ago, sqeezing into the Class AAAA Division 1 playoffs as the No. 14 seed while Fort Dorchester enters as the No. 12 seed.
The Patriots will travel to Dutch Fork Friday for the first round while Ashley Ridge will make the short trip to Summerville to face the Green Wave for a first-round battle.
The Patriots didn't allow the Swamp Foxes to reach the Red Zone at all in the first half and limited the team to two Red Zone visits in the second half. Fort Dorchester picked off three Ashley Ridge passes while committing only one turnover of its own.
"That might have been the best defensive performance we've had since I started coaching here," Fort Dorchester coach Steve LaPrad said. "It was unbelievable. Ashley Ridge has some serious weapons and we shut them down. Overall I thought we moved the ball well, but Ashley Ridge did a good job of scheming us up with their defense."
After a scoreless opening period, the Patriots attempted their second fake punt of the evening. While the first fake didn't work, punter Corey Rawlings gained 14 yards on the second fake for a first down. Three plays later, Rawlings caught a quick pass and turned it into a 12-yard touchdown reception to put his team on top.
Ashley Ridge marched across midfield on its ensuing possession and had a scoring opportunity but D.J. Commodore intercepted a heave into the end zone.
The Swamp Foxes finally reached the Red Zone on the opening drive of the third quarter. However, a fourth-down run came up a yard short and Ashley Ridge turned the ball over on downs at the Patriots' 14-yard line.
Rawlings bounced a 32-yard field goal attempt off the right post to end the Patriots' first possession of the second half. But then Dekoa Singleton picked off a Swamp Fox pass to set the Patriots' offense up in Ashley Ridge territory.
Fort quarterback Kobe Garrett rushed for 33 yards on first down for a first and goal. Then tailback Nahshon Cyrus ran into the end zone from 2 yards out and the Patriots took a 14-0 lead into the fourth quarter.
Late in the final quarter, Ashley Ridge drove to the Patriot 36 before a pass deflected off a receiver's hands and linebacker David Govan grabbed it for the Fort's third interception.
The Swamp Foxes nearly scored in the final minute when QB Chandler Avenel threw to Dashaun Santiago in the end zone. The pass was on target, but defensive back Jonathan Rouse was there to bat the ball away as Santiago tried to pull it in.
"We got off to a slow start and didn't make the plays when we had opportunities," Ashley Ridge coach Kenny Walker said. "We dropped a lot of passes tonight but also they were a little more physical than us up front."
Ashley Ridge 0 0 0 0–0
Fort Dorchester 0 7 7 0–14
F – Corey Rawlings 12 pass from Kobe Garrett (Rawlings kick)
F – Nahshon Cyrus 2 run (Rawlings kick)

iPhone Update Coming Soon? My Tipster Says...Uh Huh!
Hey, check this out. I heard from a guy who knows an Apple employee that heard a rumor from Steve Jobs's cleaning woman, that Apple is planning to rollout a big ass iPhone update (version 1.1) as soon as later today or tomorrow. What's in this update, you ask? Don't know. All I do know is that it has something to do with bringing iPod Touch features like iTunes WiFi Store and that Starbucks thingy to iPhone. But word is that bugfixes galore are also in store.
Be still, my heart.
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!

iPhone Update Coming Soon? My Tipster Says...Uh Huh!
I will be happy with bugfixes, MMS and cut/paste and landscape mode for the email client. I guess my expectations are low... I'd also like the double tap of the home button for music controls, or ideally a speeddial screen that you can tap instead of "swipe" unlocking the phone.
ichat would be nice, but I doubt we'll see that any time soon, besides, clients like beejive are somewhat adequate for the time being.
I'll be happy if they firm up stability though, I find safari tends to crash from time to time, or performance will fluctuate every ow and then....
I think it Fluke it is right but there will be no games. I am a little disappointed with the number of updates that have not added any new features. I think we are stuck until some time next year with waiting for iChat, games, new widgets to home page, cut and paste, keyboard changes etc. More fixes this time along with the iTunes widget so Apple can sell us something. I would prefer cut and past and creating and sending options to the e-mail functions over access to buy iTunes.
We know that update 1.1 is coming since an iPhone with that firmware was shown by Steve Jobs (see the slide of his iTunes where it showed firmware version 1.1) so this is no real surprise. It will be interesting to see if anything substantial comes out in addition to the WiFi store. The two previous updates were just bug fixes and so far we haven't seen any major fixes.
I unlocked my iPhone and use it now with T-Mobile. I just called this morning to cancel my AT&T service, but do have until 3 October paid up so there is a 2-week period Apple has to convince me to stick with AT&T and get the latest updates or just stay with T-Mobile and look for hacks to keep me satisfied.
I consulted my astrologer and he said ... after three hours of charting ... that there is at least a 50% chance that an update will occur and a 50% chance that it will not occur in the foreseeable cosmic future.
He is usually right about these types of things.
If I can be of any further help, please let me know.
Mark ;-)
My astrologer says that according to the cosmic charts that there is a likely hood that an update is will occur, however there is a likely hood that it will not occur, in the near cosmic future. And my astrologer is seldom wrong about these statements.
If I can be of further help please let me know.
Josh, I fear you may be right.
Bitcher, I agree 100%.
1. WIFI store = $ to Apple
2. Starbucks = $ to Apple.
3. Rightones = $ to Apple.
The rest of you -- DREAM ON! I only wish half of what you are all salivating for comes true. iChat? Not bloody likely. Please, prove me wrong, The Steve, and I will publicly apologize. (That's a safe offer!)
-- Mikie
I assume everyone has seen this page on the Apple Site - yes?
you folks are that anxious to have another button that takes you somewhere to give apple more money?
If the software allowed for creating your own ringtones FROM SONGS YOU ALREADY HAVE then it would have something slightly useful.
Now if it had penis enlargement software that's another thing.
This is silly. What the hell are you waiting for, you boobs? Listen to a little reality, from Bitcher AND from me:
1. Apple has a limited staff, and a lot of product lines:
a. OS
b. Hardware computers.
c. Hardware iPods
d. Hardware iPhones
e. Hardware AppleTV
f. Hardware Routers
each of those devices (except the os, natch) needs to have bug fixes, improvements, etc.
Where the hell are they going to get the people to include all the toys and features you think you so desparately need on the iPhone?
While it's nice that they make things, can't you see that The Steve is busy selling, selling and selling? And when he turns his attention to you, oh gullible iPhonies, don't you think it will be just to sell sell sell sell sell?
ITMS via Wifi indeed.
What an update. I can hardly wait.
Woo hoo.
You dont always have to be right about updates so keep your pants on and just wait for it.
Where is this update steve ?
Well. It looks like this week is the new date.... where do we start the guessing?
I am gonna say tomorrow sometime
Does it mean that they are doing something special when the store goes down? Been checking this morning and dont see anything. Its the thrill of the chase... ha
Nope, nothing to see here. The Apple Store went down to receive a slight makeover, nothing more. :(
Yes, traditionally when the Apple Store goes offline it means that a new product release is forthcoming. Particularly when preceding one of Steve Jobs's keynotes.
But then...there are random moments such as this when Apple takes the site down to make insignificant changes and correct typos. ;)
gosh. Where is this update? Dang!
Why dont they announce these intended release dates? Why all the secrets?

HOUSTON (September 27, 2012)--Hall of Fame radio broadcaster Milo Hamilton called his last game for the Astros as Houston blanked St. Louis 2-0 Wednesday night.
Hamilton, who doesn't call out of town games, is retiring after 59 seasons calling major league games.
He has done radio broadcasts for the Astros for 28 seasons.
Hamilton says his call of Hank Aaron's 715th home run was the most memorable of his career.
Other highlights were his calls of Mike Scott's no-hitter in 1986 and Craig Biggio's 3,000th hit in 2007.
When asked how many games he'd called in his career, Hamilton responded, "It's thousands. But now who's counting?"

Wind: 0 mph
Gertrude "Trudy" (Burbank) Folsom, 88, a longtime resident of the East Warren Road in Waitsfield, passed away unexpectedly on February 3, 2007. Trudy, the youngest daughter of the late Henry West and Hattie (Dearborn) Burbank, was born on April 3, 1918, in Chelsea.
Trudy graduated from Chelsea High School in 1936 and from the University of Vermont in 1940 with a degree in education. She married Wendell "Ike" Folsom of Waitsfield on March 21, 1941, in Swanton. Ike passed away on January 2, 2002.
Trudy taught elementary school for two years, then concentrated on assisting Ike on the farm and raising their family. In the early 1960s, Ike and Trudy sold their farm to Great Lakes Carbon Corporation and continued to manage it as a vacation spot for company officials and customers until their retirement in 1984.
Trudy has been a member of the Waitsfield Federated Church (now United Church of Christ) since she moved to Waitsfield. She taught Sunday school and served as Sunday school superintendent for several years and on other committees over the years. She was an active member of the Ladies Auxiliary, serving as the president and coordinator for the Christmas Bazaar for several years. Trudy was a lifetime member of the former Morning Star Chapter #23, Order of the Eastern Star of Waitsfield, serving as Worthy Matron for two years.
She was elected to the Waitsfield School Board where she served several years, including the years the new elementary school was built. She was an active member of the Waitsfield Historical Society, helped with fund raising for the restoration of the General Wait House and she and Ike were members of the Couples Club in Waitsfield.
Trudy learned to play golf later in life to avoid being a "golf widow" when Ike took up the game with a vengeance. In recent years she enjoyed reading and watching the birds in her yard. As physical limitations increased, Trudy was lovingly cared for by her children. The family wishes to thank Central Vermont Home Health and Waterbury Medical Associates for their support.
Trudy is survived by her children, Pat of Waitsfield and her companion, Sei Tokuda, of Waitsfield, Gordon and his companion, Kathy Bessette, of South Lincoln, Peg and her husband, Grant Kennedy, of Brampton, Ontario, Linda Eldredge of Waterbury, and Robin and her husband, Nick Brackett, of Waitsfield; 13 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren; as well as nieces, nephews and extended family. Trudy was predeceased by five siblings, her son-in-law, Edward Eldredge, and a grandson-in-law, Steve Boschee.
A service celebrating Trudy's life will be held from the Waitsfield United Church of Christ on Saturday, February 10, at 11 a.m. followed by a reception in the church dining room. Later inurnment will take place in the North Fayston Cemetery. Memorial gifts in lieu of flowers would be appreciated to the Waitsfield United Church of Christ, P.O. Box 16, Waitsfield, VT 05673, or to Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice, 600 Granger Road, Barre, VT 05641. The Perkins-Parker Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Waterbury is assisting the family. To send online condolences, please visit www.perkinsparker.com.

September 20th had been a rainy day and was looking like a drizzly night, but the weather didn't dampen their spirits as Bearcat fans packed into the stadium for the Friday night homecoming game against the Wampus Cats. First, the crowd was treated to homecoming festivities showcasing 15 attendants and their escorts. The homecoming court of lovely young ladies looked simply beautiful, dressed in their finest, and there was loud cheers when Macy Smith, the Senior class attendant escorted by Lucas Austin, was announced as the homecoming queen.
Then, the team captains went on the field for the toss and the crowd was moved to see Conner Copeland, who had been injured in last week's game, wheeled onto the field with his fellow captains, Zach Speer, Tristan Brown, Tanner Brown and Drew McKnight. The Bearcats elected to receive and the fans were ready for some magic.
And did they get it! Within the first two minutes, QB Zach Speer (#5) threw a long pass to Tanner Brown (#12) who dashed the remaining yards to the goal. The kick was no good, and the score 6-0. Atoka lost the ball on downs and kicked the ball into Tanner Brown's hands who was able to take it all the way into the end zone, with lots of great blocks from his fellow teammates. Morgan Nabors (#21) snagged Speer's pass for the 2-point conversion. Atoka again couldn't make it across the 50, and the Bearcats took possession, marching down the field. With good field position set up by nice runs by Zach Speer and Lucas Austin (#34), Speer went up and over the top of his blockers for the touchdown. The kick was good and the score was 21-0 with 56 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Again, Atoka was forced to punt and, just to show it wasn't an accident, Tanner Brown caught the ball and ran it all the way home once more. Two minutes later, the Bearcats had possession again and this time, Bryce Carter (#11) made a quick dash across the goal line. Speer's kick was good and the score at half-time was 34-0, Bearcats.
In the third quarter, the Bearcats continued to hold strong against the Wampus Cats. Drew McKnight (#2) caught a short pass thrown by Zach Speer and made a great run, setting up excellent field position. With 8:47 left, Lucas Austin ran the ball in from the 9-yard line.
Apparently, the defense was feeling left out in the scoring game, because a couple of plays later, Doltinn Brown (#24) tackled the Wampus Cat quarterback in the end zone for a 2 point safety, making the score 42-0 with 6:08 left in the third quarter. Can you guess what happened when Atoka kicked the ball - again - and Tanner Brown caught it - again? Third time was the charm as he galloped into the end zone. Zach Speer's kick was good and with 5:51 left in the third quarter, the score was 49-0, Bearcats.
The younger squad members went in for some experience and both teams struggled for yardage. Late in the fourth quarter, Atoka was finally able to score and the final tally was 49-7, Bearcats. The guys played a great game and treated the fans to a taste of what they are capable of doing.
Stat-wise, Zach Speer hit 10 out of 18 passes for a total of 126 yards. Leading rushers were Speer, Carter and Austin with 56, 26 and 20 yards respectively. Tanner Brown was the leading scorer with 4 touchdowns. The defense did a great job, holding Atoka to only 35 yards rushing. Ryan Davis (#78) led the tackles with 12 to his name.
Sadly, there were a couple of injuries requiring the ambulance on the field - one, to #35 on the Atoka team and one to #8 Raven Bowden. Fortunately, Bowden's injury turned out to be relatively minor. Our thoughts and prayers go to the Atoka player and his family.

The team goes to Hartshorne this Friday night, September 27th for their first district game. Make the trip and see what the boys pull out of their hats (or helmets) this time!

BB, you're right. I imagine if urban areas are hit hard, then there will be plenty of looting, especially from MUY's. Instead of "help thy neighbor", it's "steal from thy neighbor".

Yep, and considering the mass evacuation orders there are whole neighborhoods that are emptied out. The lowlifes are just hiding out waiting for the people to leave and soon as the storm passes there will be mass residential burglaries and looting of businesses. Since electricity will probably be down then it is a free for all as far as burglary and looting is concerned (as in no alarms). Besides, cops will be too busy to chase away criminals.

Gangs Plan Hurricane Looting Spree Via Twitter
October 29, 2012
Scores of Twitter users have flooded the social networking site announcing their plans to go on looting sprees once Hurricane Sandy makes landfall, as the New York National Guard announced it would put troops on duty in Long Island to prevent such activity.
1,175 New York National Guard troops have been mobilized to provide command and control and logistical support in New York City, Long Island, the Hudson Valley and the Southern Tier. According to NBC New York, the troops will also be on hand to protect against looting.
They might well be needed given the fact that a deluge of Twitter users are using the website to appeal to others to join them in exploiting the chaos generated by the superstorm to ransack stores.
Given the recent phenomenon of flash mob robberies, where groups of people arrange to burgle a store en masse in order to overwhelm security and staff, the tweets should be taken seriously. Last year police warned that flash mob robberies, organized mainly through Twitter, were on the rise.
Examples of tweets from individuals planning to go on looting sprees include the following;
Bout to do some looting when this hurricane finally hits .gonna get a new laptop and tv this hurricane might be the best thing to happen. (SOURCE)
If this hurricane gets real bad Im looting stores ! i always wanted to do that. (SOURCE)
Im gonna go looting once this hurricane hits Utica. (SOURCE)

Looters swipe up the mess in chaos zones

SMASH AND GRAB: A woman appears to be making off with "kicks" at Mello Magic Sneakers on Rockaway Beach Boulevard yesterday.
Hurricane Sandy brought out the worst yesterday in some sleazy New Yorkers, who looted stores and homes across the city.
Some posed as Con Ed workers to dupe their victims.
Police arrested more than a dozen looters in the Rockaways and Coney Island, which had been evacuated, and stood guard outside ravaged stores at the South Street Seaport.
This morning when they told us the water receded, I walked back to the house to feed [my pets], said Eric Martine, 33, a cabby who lives in Brooklyns Gerritsen Beach. Guys were looting, pretending they were Con Ed and holding people up. It was sick.
Residents said police warned them to beware of crooks pretending to be utility workers.
Cops fanned out yesterday to deal with looters around the city.
We will not tolerate these scumbags looting. We will arrest them on sight, said a police source.
The storm knocked out the plate-glass windows of several Seaport stores, and piggish punks took full advantage of the unguarded merchandise.
I saw two people walking by the Ann Taylor store and reach in and take some shirts that were just laying right there by the mannequin, said one man. Its really messed up, man. Theyre really taking advantage.
Looters also grabbed gadgets from a nearby Brookstone before cops arrived to stand guard.
In the Rockaways, lowlifes were sneaking into clothing stores and cleaning out pizzerias.
Two men and a woman were arrested for robbing a BP gas station on Beach Channel Drive, three men and one woman were cuffed for pillaging a Radio Shack on Beach 88th Street, and two people were arrested for raiding a clothing store near Beach 86th Street, cops said.
Stores were emptied along a two-block stretch of Mermaid Avenue in Coney Island. Seven people were busted.
Almost everything is gone, said store owner Mirza Baig. We want to reopen but we dont know how.

Black Blade: It was inevitable I think. Note that after the tsunami in Japan there wasn't any looting reported. Different cultures though and most prevalent in the US inner cities where an entirely different culture where people of a different mindset live apart from most normal Americans.

There's A Mass Exodus Of Manhattanites Heading Uptown In Search Of Food And Cellphone Power
Rob Wile
Oct. 30, 2012, 1:38 PM
Power remains cutoff in lower Manhattan, and no one knows when it will turn back on.
So a mass exodus has begun uptown in search of two things: food, and battery power.
My power in Chelsea went out around 8:30 pm last night.
Luckily, my phone was charged up enough to make it through this morning.
But it started flagging around 10 am.
So I began trudging up First Avenue in search of battery power and if possible, Wifi.
Along the way, I spotted the one bodega open in the whole area with a huge line of people waiting to get food:
I soon realized I was being flanked by about a dozen other downtown sojourners.
We eventually came across a Chase bank on Second Avenue, where a kind soul had purchased a an outlet strip he'd plugged into a wall that was powering five phones (and one laptop).
I was able to upload my East Side photos, but there were at least a half-dozen (very anxious) folks waiting in line behind me.
Similar scenes have since been reported elsewhere here's a snap from the NYT's Brian Stelter:
So I started heading back uptown and noticed there were lines out the door at any restaurant with its doors open.
Here's he line at a Bread Factory on Lexington and 62nd Street:
Rob Wile for Business Insider
The general scene is one of dazed frustration knowing that Manhattan had it way easier than other places, but still not sure what's supposed to happen next.

We are well prepped for some really bad storms and long term shutdowns but the only way to prep for what hit NJ and NY is to not be there when it hits.
Prepping to bug out is also critical. If Sandy had set it's sights on the Chesapeake, I would have left days in advance. When I bugged out from Isabel, the waves were breaking on the side of my house. The wife, 2 young girls and 2 pit bulls.
I can't say enough good things about the Reliance Power Transfer Switch.
If you are dragging cords through the back door for your generator, you need to look into this.
It's almost like a small sub-panel. It has six circuits that wire indirectly to your homes circuit breakers. The way they connect makes it so the power can't backfeed the line. You just plug the generator into 1 plug on the side of your house, flip the breakers on the transfer switch and use the lights and outlets like normal. No more six-way outlets laying on the counter.

There are very long gas lines - I haven't seen anything like this since the late 1970s (1978 Arab oil Embargo). One lesson I did learn is that as there are long lines for gasoline, there is plenty of diesel available. I have a Honda diesel generator and a diesel GMC Sierra.
If this is what it's like after a couple of days - then just imagine what it will be like after a couple of weeks.

Heartbreaking Video: Starving New Yorkers Reduced To Eating from Dumpster In Sandys Aftermath
(Thursday, November 1st, 2012)
The situation in New York City in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy is dire. Some have gone days without power, water or even food as the superstorm brought the nations busiest city to a standstill.
Just how bad is it? WNBC actually found New Yorkers dumpster diving behind a Key Food supermarket Thursday, searching for any remnants of food they could find.
WNBC reporter Jonathan Vigliotti said people are so hungry they literally pried open this dumpster you see that door open right now and they are literally picking through for whatever they can take home with themselves.
Weve seen everyone here from the elderly, to families with children, literally up on top of this, he added.

We Need Food, We Need Clothing: Staten Island Residents Plead for Help 3 Days After Sand
(John Moore/Getty Images)
The residents of Staten Island are pleading for help from elected officials, begging for gasoline, food and clothing three days after Sandy slammed the New York City borough.
Were going to die! Were going to freeze! We got 90-year-old people! Donna Solli told visiting officials. You dont understand. You gotta get your trucks down here on the corner now. Its been three days!
Staten Island was one of the hardest-hit communities in New York City. More than 80,000 residents are still without power. Many are homeless, and at least 19 people died on Staten Island because of the storm.

Black Blade: There is a sense of Darwinism here where those who prepped are now able to fend of starvation and other discomforts while others look for the government to "help" them. The next few days will get rather "interesting" for a lot of people in thee affected areas.

NEW YORK (AP) — The price of oil fell slightly Wednesday as the Federal Reserve indicated it's closer to easing up on economy boosting measures that have been a boon for commodities.
Oil swung in a range of about $1 after the Fed delivered a mixed message: The central bank said it would continue buying bonds at a pace of $85 billion a month, which helps keep interest rates at low levels. But chairman Ben Bernanke offered a more optimistic outlook for the U.S. economy and said the Fed could start scaling back on the bond purchases later this year if conditions continue to improve.
Timothy Duy, a University of Oregon economist who tracks the Fed, called the statement "an open door for scaling back asset purchases as early as September."
Benchmark oil for July delivery dropped 20 cents to finish at $98.24 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Meanwhile the nation's inventory of crude oil grew by 300,000 barrels, or 0.1 percent. At 394.1 million barrels, supplies are 1.8 percent above year-ago levels, the Energy Information Administration said in its weekly report. Analysts expected supplies to drop by 1 million barrels.
Brent crude, a benchmark for many international oil varieties, rose 10 cents to end at $106.12 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on the Nymex:
– Wholesale gasoline rose 1 cent to finish at $2.89 a gallon.
– Heating oil rose 1 cent to end at $2.97 per gallon.
– Natural gas gained 6 cents to finish at $3.96 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Yadkinville was flooded with local police officers, sheriff deputies and helicopters on Nov. 9 when a traffic stop at the intersection of Virginia Drive and Progress Lane led to a nearly five-hour man hunt.
The hunt led to the arrest of five suspects thought to be involved in the robbery of a Winston-Salem BB&T bank branch earlier that day.
A Yadkinville Police Officer and Yadkin County Sheriff's Deputy worked together in a traffic stop due to suspicious activity and erratic driving at approximately noon last Friday.
"Our officers had no idea it was a robbery suspect at the time of the traffic stop," said Tim Parks, Yadkinville Police Chief. "Our officers and sheriff's deputies just observed unusual traffic activity and followed up on it. It was about 30 minutes into the investigation before we realized what the suspects were involved in."
There were three individuals in the vehicle, and once officers stopped the vehicle to question the driver, two of the suspects fled the scene. The third occupant of the vehicle was detained on the scene.
The first suspect who fled was detained at approximately 1 p.m. on Cedar Street. The suspect was hiding in a wooded area behind a residence.
The second suspect who fled required an extensive ground search and an air search by the North Carolina State Highway Patrol helicopter out of Salisbury.
Chief Parks said that the biggest concern was getting the suspects caught before dark. There was concern for the safety of citizens because at least one suspect was considered armed and dangerous. Parks said that no weapons were found on any of the suspects when they were taken into custody however.
Two additional suspects were taken into custody without incident around 3:30 p.m. at the Four Brothers BP located at US 601 and Beroth Street in Yadkinville.
Chief Parks said that the community played a major role in the apprehension of the suspects.
"We had a lot of people in the community call in with very accurate tips," Parks said. "We might not have caught the suspects as quickly as we did without the community's help."
The suspects were turned over to the Winston-Salem Police Department on Friday night for the charges relating to the bank robbery.
Charles Ronnell Williams, Alton T. Sims, Tyrone Thomas Woods and Darrick Damone Legardy, all of Los Angeles, Calif., were charged by the Winston-Salem Police Department in connection with the robbery investigation.
The Yadkinville Police Department was assisted by the North Carolina State Highway Patrol Troopers and Air Wing, Yadkin County Sheriff's Office, Davie County Sheriff's Office, North Carolina Community Corrections, North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, Winston-Salem Police Department and the Yadkinville Fire Department in the apprehension of the suspects.

A Calvinist Evangelist?

This accusation has been repeated so many times that few make the effort to argue it. Instead, it is simply assumed. Never mind that some of the church's greatest evangelists have been Calvinists. One need only be reminded of men such as George Whitefield, David Brainerd, or "the father of modern missions," William Carey.

The Preterist Approach to Revelation — The Unfolding of Biblical Eschatology
from Keith Mathison Jun 25, 2012 Category: ArticlesAn issue that must be addressed before proceeding to an examination of the text of Revelation is our basic hermeneutical approach to the book. Over the course of the church's history there have been four main approaches: the futurist, historicist, preterist, and idealist approaches.i The futurist approach understands everything from Revelation 4:1 forward to be a prophecy of things that are to occur just before the Second Coming of Christ. In other words, all of these prophesied events are still in the future from the perspective of the twenty-first century. According to proponents, this conclusion grows out of a belief that there is no correspondence between these prophesied events and anything that has yet occurred in history. Keep Reading

McGinnis: 'Tearaway': A Whimsical WonderWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
One of the downsides to the beginning of a new console generation is how some great games can be overlooked — if they're being released for systems other than the brand-spanking new ones everyone's talking about. While gamers everywhere are drooling over their Xbox Ones and PlayStation 4s, with lots of flashy new titles to grab their attention, some great experiences right under their nose may go unnoticed.
The best game of this holiday season, for example, may just be for Sony's PlayStation Vita. For two years, the excellent handheld console has struggled to find a foothold with the market, despite boasting a number of quality titles. The common complaint would be the Vita didn't have a marquee title to call its own — a great game that couldn't be played anywhere but on Vita. (This ignored games like "Soul Sacrifice," "Escape Plan," "Killzone: Mercenary," "Uncharted: Golden Abyss" and many more — but why let truth get in the way of a good stereotype?)
Now, Vita has a game that may stand the test of time as a defining title, one that provides an experience that only this system could offer. And yet, because it came out in the midst of the new console craze, it may have slid right under most everyone's radar. And that's a real shame, because "Tearaway," the new title from the creators of the beloved "Little Big Planet" franchise, may be the most refreshing, fun, whimsical and charming game produced all year.
The idea is simple enough. You play as a messenger — in fact, your character literally is a message come to life — trying to deliver itself to, well, you. Taking full advantage of the Vita's front and rear cameras, the system puts the player right in the game, with images of yourself as you play frequently appearing during the action. The goal is to guide your little messenger through the game's world in an effort to reach you.
But describing the game's basic structure doesn't do justice to the unique and wonderful things you'll be doing as you play it. First, like its cousin "Little Big Planet," "Tearaway" is set in a world that is refreshingly different from most every title on the market. The game takes place in a universe where everything is made from flat sheets of paper, folded into rudimentary shapes suggesting animals, buildings, etc. The art style gives the game its own unique identity.
Then there's the actual gameplay itself. The basic gist is pretty straightforward — walk from point A to B, collect secrets and so forth. But developers Media Molecule have never been ones to lack creativity when it comes to interacting with their creations. As with "Little Big Planet," there's an insane amount of customization available, from the look of your character to creating pieces to decorate the world with. You're even invited to take pictures of things with the Vita's camera to provide new textures for in-game characters.
The creativity extends to "Tearaway"'s controls. There are rudimentary moves, jumping, rolling, etc. But then what gives the game its most unique flavor is interacting with the Vita's touch screen and rear touch pad. Frequently, to traverse a level, it is necessary for the player to take a hands-on approach, touching the rear pad to literally poke your finger up into the game's world and manipulate items, or tapping on the front screen to help your messenger squash enemies.
It's important to note that these touch controls do not detract from the game or feel shoehorned in — they rise as a genuine part of the gameplay. Many of the Vita's titles have felt like the touch controls were essentially an afterthought, tossed in to take advantage of the system's gimmicks. "Tearaway"'s touch controls are a genuine, natural part of the experience, and shows future Vita developers what can and should be done with the system.
In that way, Media Molecule has given Vita a title that is uniquely its own — but beyond that, the developers have given gamers an experience that should not be missed. The main campaign is a little short, maybe, and the title lacks any real online component that gives games like "Little Big Planet" almost limitless replay value. But the gameplay itself is deeper than "Little Big Planet" and its story is surprisingly moving. If you own a Vita, this game is a must-buy. And if you don't own a Vita, this game may be reason enough to consider one.

Health Coaching adds motivation, accountability, awareness, education, focus and practicality to an individual's behavior change endeavors.
