The "Sweet Magnolias" fifth grade girls from Flowertown Elementary School, experienced an afternoon of healthy living when guest speakers from around the community came to teach them about healthy eating, staying active and fit, and caring for their nails. Lucille Brown from the Oakbrook Publix brought a wide variety of fruits and parfaits for the girls to taste test.
Lucinda Hughes and Tracy Strickland from the YMCA at the Ponds had the girls excercising and stretching, discussing the keys to staying fit. Comelita Harriot and her staff from Charleston Cosmetology Institute taught the girls the importance of caring for their nails. They even treated the girls to a mini-manicure.
"Sometimes kids don't think they have to be concerned with what they eat or exercising -- but we do," fifth grader Bethany Crafton said.
The afternoon, organized by the Sweet Magnolias' coordinator, Jody Gerhardt, emphasized to the girls that they can be responsible for their own health and well being.

HAZARD – Following several months of sifting through records, policies, and evidentiary procedures, the Hazard Police Department has earned its second five-year accreditation from the Kentucky Association of Chiefs of Police.
Hazard Police Chief Minor Allen informed the city commission about the department's accreditation status during the commission's regular meeting on Monday. There are more than 400 law enforcement agencies statewide, and Hazard's police department is one of 67 to achieve at least its second five-year accreditation.
"That put us well within the top percentage of the agencies in Kentucky," Allen said.
Law enforcement agencies are not required to seek accreditation, but Allen noted it ensures the department is up-to-date on its policies and procedures, and that personnel are current with any changes in the law that may have taken place since the last accreditation.
Though the department's initial accreditation five years ago put into place a wide set of policies, Allen said officers reviewed each one, such as use of force, and in this case wrote a new policy that governs the department's safety officers, something HPD did not have five years ago.
"It's just something to say that we're going to live by these standards, this is the way we're going to police, and it's really a transparency type thing," Allen said. "Anybody can look at your policy. We have them all online on our website."
HPD officers began the process of reaccreditation in the fall of 2012. In addition to a review of policies, that process also included evaluating the department's records and evidence. HPD personnel put in a lot of hours, Allen noted, and it's a process he hopes the department will continue to undergo even after his time as the chief is over.
"I appreciate the hard work of all the officers in my department that really came to task on this and got the job done," he said. "As long as we maintain the standards we have on the way we hire officers and how we're going to police, we need to keep maintaining this kind of status."

Hot Dog Of The Week: David's Kosher Taste Test
David's Kosher is an interesting new hot dog brand that seems to be pushing the "healthy"—or at least "gluten free, uncured, natural"—angle, along with the kosher and regional Chicago angle. These all-beef franks basically taste like a fusion between a New York-style Hebrew National and a milder Chicago Vienna Beef dog. I tested them out with a couple different methods and various levels of toppings. More

Yadkinville will soon notice the addition of a sidewalk along Old Highway 421/West Main Street.
The Yadkinville Town Board of Commissioners held its monthly meeting on Nov. 5 and voted unanimously to begin work on adding a sidewalk from Monroe Street to the U.S. Postal Office shopping center up to New Hope Pregnancy Center.
The sidewalk has been an issue that commissioners have been discussing for nearly two years but have not acted on. At the Nov. 5 meeting, Mayor Hubert Gregory brought the issue before the board once more and all of the commissioners agreed that it was time to put the sidewalk into action.
The board gave Public Works Director Perry Williams permission to start getting estimates together and begin the work.
Other items from the meeting:
-Mayor Gregory declared November National Hospice and Palliative Care month. Mountain Valley Hospice & Palliative Care staff members Sheila Jones, Director of Marketing and Development, and Joey McKeithan, Director of Patient Services, were on hand to thank the town for participating and share the importance of hospice care, especially in a town with a high number of elderly population.
-Yadkinville resident Shamus Jackson presented a safety concern during the public comments portion of the meeting. Jackson said that a tree branch was covering the "children at play" sign at the corner of Harrison Ave. and Hemlock St. Jackson said that cars also had to pull out into the street to check for oncoming traffic because of the branch. He asked that the board ask the owner of the property where the tree is located to trim the branches. Mayor Gregory instructed Town Manager Christopher Ong to work with Yadkinville police officers to check into the matter.
-Peggy Gillenwater, PTA president for Yadkinville Elementary School, spoke to the board during public comments to voice her concern with fees at the Yadkinville Community Park. The park requires a $100 fee for groups over 25 people. Gillenwater said that this was a disadvantage for teachers from the schools who might want to take their classrooms to the park for a reward or learning opportunity. She asked the board to consider revising their policies to favor the schools on the matter.
-It was announced that Yadkinville Volunteer Fire Department Fire Chief Bryan Southard was named the VFW State Firefighter of the Year. Southard will be honored in Raleigh later this month.
-Development and Planning Director Paul Lowe informed the commissioners that a request to the state to purchase "share the road" bicycle safety signs for the town were denied. Mayor Pro-Tem Eddie Norman was particularly angered by the denial stating "That's B.S. If the state won't purchase the signs then the town should purchase them. If those state reps want to come down here and ride in front of me through the traffic downtown then they're welcome." The board instructed Lowe to try to set up another meeting with state officials so that board members could be present.
-Yadkinville Police Captain Patrick Long reported that the police department has responded to an increased number of break-ins last month as well as a flasher and similarly related crimes. He doesn't believe that there is a problem with these crimes at this time.

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Neil Walker hit a go-ahead RBI single in the top of the eighth inning as the Pirates took a 2-1 victory over the Diamondbacks in the rubber match of a three-game set at Chase Field on Wednesday.
With the game tied at 1-1, Arizona starter Daniel Hudson recorded the first two outs in the eighth, but surrendered back-to-back singles before being lifted in favor of David Hernandez. Walker then lofted a fly ball into no- man's land in shallow right field that found grass, scoring Clint Barmes from second for the go-ahead run.
Brad Lincoln (1-0) tossed three scoreless innings of one-hit ball in relief of starter James McDonald, who lasted just four innings. Lincoln struck out four and walked three after being called up earlier on Wednesday to replace pitcher Jeff Karstens, who was sent to the 15-day disabled list.
"That's part of the job. You have to come in and get your mind right and be prepared for the game, regardless of the circumstances," said Lincoln about being called up earlier in the day. "For the most part I was able to do that today and go out there and just battle and get the team the win."
Juan Cruz worked around a leadoff single in the ninth to nail down his second save of the year. Pedro Alvarez added a solo homer and Andrew McCutchen finished with two hits for the Pirates, who took two straight from Arizona after dropping the series opener.
Hudson (1-1) hurled 7 2/3 innings and was charged for both runs on six hits and three walks. Aaron Hill and Jason Kubel each had two hits for the Diamondbacks, who finished with just five as a team.
"We didn't capitalize on our opportunities," admitted Arizona manager Kirk Gibson. "We have to give Pittsburgh a little bit of credit. Six of their last seven runs they've scored with two outs."
Willie Bloomquist opened the bottom of the first with a triple into the gap in right-center field and scored two batters later when Kubel laced a fastball back up the middle, giving Arizona a 1-0 lead.
Hudson retired the first two hitters in the seventh, but left a 2-0 changeup up in the zone and Alvarez ripped it over the wall in right, pulling the Pirates even at 1-1.
The Pirates drafted Lincoln with the fourth overall pick in the 2006 amateur draft...Arizona will continue a 10-game homestand with a four-game set against the Atlanta Braves beginning on Thursday...Pittsburgh returns home for a three-game set with the defending champion St. Louis Cardinals starting on Friday...Before the game, the Diamondbacks placed outfielder Chris Young on the 15-day DL with a shoulder contusion...A.J. Pollock made his major league debut after being recalled on Wednesday to replace Geoff Blum, who was sent to the 15-day DL as well. Pollock finished the game 0-for-3 with a walk.

As the executive director of the Christian Coalition, Reed heads one of the country's largest religiously-affiliated organizations that participates actively in U.S. politics. He leads approximately one million members and activists in 872 chapters in all 50 states. Operating full-time in 19 states, Reed's group has an annual budget of $20 million. These numbers and available funds demonstrate that the Christian Coalition enjoys a national prominence and influence that few other organizations may claim.
Developed through his college years, Reed's activist experience includes working for several grass-roots organizations and political campaigns. From 1982 to 1984 he served as the executive director of the College Republican National Committee, supervising the efforts of 100,000 members on 1,000 campuses across the United States. In 1984 he founded Students for America-a grass-roots network of conservative students on 200 campuses.
In the realm of electoral politics Reed is a veteran of several campaigns. Beginning with his first congressional campaign in 1976, he has worked on behalf of statewide candidates in Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and California. He also participated in Senator Jesse Helms's reelection campaigns in 1984 and 1990. During this time Reed consulted on 25 congressional and statewide campaigns.
A leading political analyst and strategist, Reed is a frequent guest on various television programs, including Larry King Live, Nightline, Meet the Press, and the Today show. His columns have been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, National Review, and Policy Review.
Reed is a graduate of the University of Georgia and he holds a Ph.D. in American history from Emory University. As part of its ongoing series on The Changing Face of Religion in America, the Athenaeum invites students to take part in this unusual opportunity to meet with a foremost leader in the Christian community and one of its most influential actors in American politics. The John Brown Cook Association and the Salvatori Center are sponsoring Dr. Reed's visit to CMC. The dinner is open to CMC persons only and seating for the public is limited and not guaranteed.

This hotel has undergone significant renovations since our visit.
We will update our photos and review as soon as we can.

The biggest and showiest resort in fancy Wailea
Set on 40 acres of prime beachfront property, Grand Wailea Resort Hotel and Spa is the biggest -- and in many ways, the grandest -- resort in Wailea, the most desirable location in Maui. An outpost of Hilton's Waldorf-Astoria luxury brand (Hilton also owns the famous Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City and attaches its name to a number of upscale resorts) the level of opulent detail applied to every single aspect of this resort does not disappoint. Large-scale Botero sculptures surround its open-air lobby pavilion -- all part of the hotel's $30 million art collection, which also includes works by Picasso. Between the guest-room towers, there are gardens that look plucked from a section of a rainforest. And in addition to its incredible maze of pools -- including a multilevel, fake volcano and the world's only "water elevator" -- there's Spa Grande, which was named one of the "top spas in the U.S" by both Travel+Leisure and Conde Nast Traveler.
Even the Four Seasons, right next door, seems modest or at least subdued by comparison. At the Four Seasons, for example, there's an elegant, elevated fountain at the center of its pool -- it's pretty, but nothing compared to the thunderous waterfall that wraps around the entrance wall of the Grand Wailea. Both resorts are rival each other for the title of the most luxurious in Maui, but they each have a distinct interpretation of luxury. The Four Seasons offers a quiet, classy atmosphere with over-the-top service, while the Grand Wailea is busier, more ostentatious, and has a much greater "wow factor" than any other hotel in Maui.
Extensive services and friendly, capable staff
Guest services covers a lot of ground at this resort, both literally and figuratively. An entire lobby wing is dedicated to concierge desks, and the Napua Concierge Floor has additional concierges exclusively for guests staying on that floor. Overall, the level of service is sufficient, but not quite on par with the Four Seasons, which famously has two staff members for every guest at the hotel.
In resort-rich Wailea -- great golf, gorgeous beaches, luxury shopping, and near-perfect weather
The Grand Wailea is one of the four luxury resorts in Wailea, a manicured, planned resort development that lines two spectacular beach-dotted miles of Maui's southwestern shore. Besides the beaches and the almost perfect weather -- rain rarely falls in this arid microclimate, and the temperature hovers around 85 degrees year round -- golf and shopping are the area's big draws.
One of America's best beaches
Wailea Beach, one of the finest beaches in Maui, is a crescent-shaped shore with light brown, powdery sand that stretches over one-third of a mile. The Grand Wailea sits front and center at this popular beach, though neighboring resorts like the Four Seasons also have the same direct access to this bustling shore.
Space and luxury -- you get what you pay for
Designed to have a Victorian parlor-meets-sugar-plantation aesthetic, the guest rooms -- like everything else at Grand Wailea -- are grand. Luxury is in the details: from the single orchid and greeting card placed on the bed at nightly turndown service to the soft waffle-weave robes in the closet. The Four Seasons Maui has comparable niceties, but its rooms are slightly smaller.
Fun, elaborate pool system with just about every water feature imaginable; plus a scenic adult pool
It's hard even to call the 25,700-square-foot Wailea Canyon Activity Pool complex a "pool." It's more like an aquatic theme park, marked by an exciting water feature at every turn.
And all of this is fine and good for children, but it can be a bit exhausting. That's why the hotel also reserves its most scenic pool for guests 18 and up.
One of Hawaii's best spas, featuring a unique range of hydrotheraphy baths
Praised by Conde Nast Traveler and Travel+Leisure, among others, the neoclassical Spa Grande is the largest spa in Hawaii, and considered as one of the top spas in the U.S.
Four world-class golf courses, just a short drive away
Wailea is home to some of Hawaii's best golf. Wailea Golf Club has three, 18-hole courses -- named among the top 15 golf courses in Hawaii for 2007-2008 by Golf Digest and the award-winning Makena Golf Course is less than five minutes drive south of Wailea, offering another high-level, ocean-view course.
More features than anywhere else in Maui
At times overwhelming, the diverse range of features can keep you busy for days.
Free Hawaiian performances and activities, plus a luau
Most kid-friendly resort in Maui, if not all of Hawaii
Grand Wailea calls its kids' camp a "mini-resort," and rightly so. Camp Grande is a 20,000-square-foot facility with a video arcade, pingpong and foosball tables, a PlayStation room, a mini movie theater, and an activity room. Camps, programs, and workshops are offered for kids ages five to 12, as well as seasonal activities for teens (Spring Break, Easter, summer, Thanksgiving, and Christmas). The hotel also offers free guest activities like stargazing (for a fee) and fish feeding (free). These are all great options, but don't forget that the pools at this resort can keep kids busy all day long, and using the myriad water features doesn't cost extra.
Everything is spotless -- the guest rooms; the pools; the grounds. Just be aware that at any open-air beach restaurant in Hawaii, you're likely to see scavenging pigeons or gulls. Servers are quick to shoo them away, but they are persistent buggers.
Good, but pricey, variety on-site; more options within walking distance
With five restaurants, two bars, and room service, variety isn't an issue at this resort. From upscale lagoonside dining to a more affordable mixed-plate lunch on a garden-view terrace, options abound. And if you tire of eating at the resort, check out restaurants at neighboring hotels like the Four Seasons and at the Shops at Wailea, just a 15-minute walk away.
The beautifully designed, 780-room Grand Wailea is awe-inspiring in its scale: It's got the best pool in Hawaii, one of the top U.S. spas, and a prime location on one of the best U.S. beaches. Opulence marks every feature -- from the luxe rooms to the massive gym -- but the resort's Disneyland-like vibe isn't right for everyone.

-to talk on a habu phone
-to build habu towers
-to be a habu pirate
I want to be a habu pirate! What fun...
how funny--can't wait to see how the scarf turns out!
I wish you luck. I don't think I'll ever make another no matter how beautiful they are. Hugh was awesome!
what a perfect airy little scarf for spring.
Ohhhhh. I love the lace texture that is this scarf. Fantastic. And I imagine it's quite the dream to work through your hands.
As for me, I know I'd do much better being the pirate and chatting on the phone, habu to habu, with your wonderfully, imaginative boys! String. after all, makes perfectly good sense to me. :)
A grand Monday of youth & being to you. XO...
Oh, I'm excited to see the scarf. I bet it turns out great.
I need to try Habu... love the pics!
i still haven't made one! i want one. it doesn't take long to get used to the lighter weight of habu and then the knitting can go blazing fast because you can do it blindfolded. great color choice.
i'm sure this will be beautiful. and so good of you to provide entertainment for your kiddos!
ooo, I like the lacy pattern with that texture. (from what I can tell from the picture!)
I think I will try this out!
Can I be a habu pirate too? Looks like fun.
How fun! I can't wait to see how the scarf turns out.
I have Habu love too, but from afar. I've yet to get my hands on some. But judging from your photos, it sure looks like fun!
I agree, I loved Hugh last night. Overall, I thought the Oscars were quite good, though I'm still a bit sad that Mickey Rourke didn't win...
I started knitting during the Oscars last night and then I fell asleep ... with needles in the bed- yikes!
That yarn appeals to all ages :)
Hahahaha! I was JUST sitting there thinking "She's letting them touch the Habu!? She is SUCH a nice mom!"
Aw, damn.
You got me again. I thought I was escaping but I can just feel the little tentacles pulling me in to Kusha Kusha land...
That's my favorite Habu kit. Although I'm only 1/3 of the way through mine. Perhaps if I had Habu pirates, I'd get a move on!
Too cute!!! My kusha kusha has been at 95% complete for moooonths now! Haha! You've motivated me to take it back out at least in time for spring!!
I am just as intrigued by the "string" and want to try it someday!
Love the photos! What a neat scarf pattern. I can't imagine knitting with thread, even sock yarn gets me crazy sometimes. I'm too impatient!
finally...you are going to do Habu :)!
The first photo is so perfect in conveying the integration of our handwork with family life. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, pretty Huba. :)
I can't wait to see more.
Pretty! Have fun with your "string!" I'm knitting a baby sweater with laceweight on 2's right now...the fine yarn is beautiful...Can't wait to see your lace!
And wasn't Hugh fantastic?! I'm a huge musicale(s) fan, so I was squealing in excitement through the entire thing, lol.
That is going to be gorgeous!
I love boys and how they make everything into a toy!
love your little pirate photo the best!
I love the scarf but love Hugh more, I am hoping someday he & Jude Law will take pity on me & sleep with me.....is it really that much to ask. LOL
shoot---- your kids read this, get rid of that comment.
Boys will be boys I guess :)...good luck on your scarf!
Hey Les, habu is a word I've not heard before. Can't wait to see what you're making.
Love the habu happenin's - your boys are inventive! My youngest saw me reading this post- his immediate reaction was how wonderful the yarns are, but the habu phones! Now he wants to make one himself.
I have some habu items as well - sort of keeping them for a 'special' occasion, whatever that may be.
Since habu is way over my head I'm looking forward to living vicariously through you. I'd be dialing 9-1-1 on the habu phone!
At least they are creative, right? :)
Can't wait to see your scarf! I gotta get some of that stuff!
Keep knitting my sweet. It will soon become your most treasured possession!
PS: I build Habu towers also - it's the only way to stash them in the cupboard!

Full name Eli Walker
Born March 28, 1992
Current age 23 years 130 days
Major teams Ospreys, Wales Under-20s, Wales
Position Wing
Height 1.84 m
Weight 83 kg
Renowned for his pace, winger Eli Walker is an exciting addition to the Osprey's setup for the 2012/13 season after switching from Swansea RFC last year.
Walker's outright speed has made him a favourable option on the left wing for the Welsh side, who lost legendary speedster Shane Williams after he retired last season.
After picking up a shoulder injury while playing for Wales in last year's Junior World Cup in South Africa, Walker's Osprey' season was put on hold. However he did not take long to get up to speed, receiving the man-of-the-match award in Osprey's winning performance over Toulouse last December, a game in which he scored.

Jewish Parent/Child Relationships
A relationship that's commanded to be respectful.
By MJL Staff
We Also Recommend
As with other human relationships, Jewish parents and their children (both adult and minor) are, in traditional Judaism, bound to each other by a series of commanded responsibilities and sacred practices. Most societies emphasize reverence for parents; post-biblical Judaism appears to have gone further than its contemporaries in mandating that parents provide for their children with very specific preparations for the future. Furthermore, Judaism sees parents and offspring as bound to each other not only for practical or humanistic reasons, but also as a way of honoring God.
Parenting in the Torah
The Torah includes numerous mitzvot regarding parent-child interaction. Fathers must circumcise sons on their eighth day of life (Genesis 17:10-14). Parents may not sacrifice their children, neither to a foreign deity (Leviticus 20:1) nor to God. Incest is strictly forbidden (Leviticus 18:6-7). Parents are responsible for educating their children (Deuteronomy 11:19). First-born sons must be redeemed from the priesthood (Exodus 13:2,13). Insults to parents are subject to grave punishment (Leviticus 20:9).
Honoring parents (kibbud av va'em) is among the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:12, Deuteronomy 5:16); the requirement to show them reverence appears in Leviticus (19:1-3). The language of these two commandments provides motivations for their observance. The wording in Exodus (nearly identical in Deuteronomy) states that one who honors parents will lengthen one's life and continue one's link to the land of Israel:
"Honor your father and your mother so that your days will be lengthened on the land Adonai your God gave to you." The motivation here is one of a promised reward.
In Leviticus, we find that reverence is part of participating in God's holy plan: "And Adonai spoke to Moses, saying: 'Speak to all the community of the Children of Israel, and say to them–'You shall be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy. A man shall revere his mother and his father and observe my Sabbaths; I am Adonai your God.' "

Everyone looks forward to the grand retail extravaganza that is Vogue's Fashion Night Out. Held in approximately 19 countries across a week, the U.S — due to Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour's dictact — has their big night on the first day of Fashion Week. It's a smart move because everyone's in New York then, and those celebrities who don't need to be there on day one, can enjoy FNO in L.A, the other fashion capital of the country. That's both coasts taken care of! Hundreds of stores and designers providing special gifts with purchase and exclusive FNO merchandise, discounts and deals. NYC was swarming with stars yesterday for FNO special apperances. AnnaSophia Robb was Fekkai Mademoiselle, Nikki Reed and Kate Upton were at Michael Kors. Nikki looks super hot in a golden sequined dress, FYI. She was the best-dressed of the night! Kellan Lutz, Pharrell Williams and Matchbox 20 were at Bloomingdales. Allison Williams was at the DVF store, while Alexa Chung was at Moschino. Victoria Beckham and Kim Kardashian made the rounds too, of course. Kim's little sisters, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, and her mother Kris Jenner were at the Beverly Center in L.A. along with Lucy Hale and Kendra Wilkinson, as well. Want to take a look at how glam everyone was? Head on over to our gallery!

Take-away from neuroscience
Recently I read that in 1981 a man named Roger Sperry received the Nobel Prize for his proof of the split-brain theory. That is: The left side of the brain is the analytical side, the right side of the brain is the creative side. Together the sides cooperate to become a complete functioning brain.
This brings to mind the political divide of Democrat and Republican, and how necessary is the cooperation between the "left" and "right" to make things work.

I am writing a book on Joe and his time with Bomber Command. I'd love to hear your feedback about this. Please use the comments box to give me your thoughts. Novel, biography or non-fiction? Do you think it would make a good read?
A bit of background for newcomers
Joe (aka 'Mac' to his RAF comrades) was my Uncle, but we never met. His precious letters have come into my possession some near-70 years after they were written. It is my honour to transcribe them, and the poignancy of hindsight about what happened to Joe makes this all the more difficult to write, but all the more important that I do. One letter will be posted to this Blog each and every Friday.
Please see below for a link to Joe's full story and the other letters in this series so far.
In this letter, Joe is now stationed at Stranraer in Scotland, where his Air Gunnery School training (phase 4 of his training) has commenced and he will finally get up in the air….
Letter 33 – 29th April 1944
Monday night.
Dear Mom and kids,
"I had just come back from flying and was getting out of my suit and harness when Joe Lee comes into the crew room with your letter! (of Wednesday afternoon). I had written a letter to you only half an hour before and posted it too! I can't write about much this time as there's nothing to write about!
It seems a great pity about Mr Chadwick doesn't it. Mrs Chadwick will have a big worry now with all those young children. Mrs Terry is lashing out with the dough again I see?! Bob Foster is on his high horse so it seems, maybe Canada has made him a bit too clever. It won't be long before he gets brought down to earth with a big crash at that rate.
I haven't had a letter from Mrs Clarke yet but that's understandable. As for Stan, I have had a letter, 2 sent to him at Bridgnorth, returned to me for some unknown reason. Fortunately I had put my address on the back of the envelope. However I shall write him again.
While I think about it have you been able to get razor blades lately, if so will you let me have some as I've been on the cadge for the last day or so. Also boot polish if any.
Gosh, I have just got your other letter of Wednesday afternoon, they've just brought it in! I'm glad to see my stuff is arriving ok!
That's all for a while so cheerio,
Your 'Sun', Joe xxxx
P.S. I don't know when you'll get this but our post office is closed till Saturday morning and I can't get out of camp!"
The perilousness of the postal system is beginning to be evident! Canada is where a good number of pilots, navigators and engineers were trained for the RAF. Reading between the lines, it sounds as though Bob Foster may have been over there undergoing pilot training, and it may have gone to his head!
To read more about Joe's letters please follow this link. There you will find the full selection of letters to date, as well as more information about his beautiful and tragic story.
He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories. I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey. Subscribe to the Blog to make sure you don't miss any of it.

manager Leonardo Salomao, who is now considerig the idea of bringing in psychological support for the team.
He returns to the maintenance training on Monday, since he has no fight scheduled. People without experience dont know how much he dedicates himself to this. They think he doesnt train properly. He is under all this pressure and we have to work on the psychological part because he pressureshimself a lot, he tells R7.
Leonardo holds black belts in Muay Thai and jiu-jitsu and has been Shoguns friend for twenty years. He trained with Mauricio in the past, but today, as his manager, he emphasizes how the long-time proximity makes him see the tiny details in the athlete.
Because of that, he feels able to speak openly about what Rua is currently experiencing. It is the first time in his career that he has been beaten twice in a row.
In the entrance to the fight, in my opinion, I felt him very tense, pressured. After the bout he was so down, he could not stand the pressure and said he couldnt face losing and that he was afraid of losing. But he lost to somebody who dedicated a lot to their own training, it happens, he says.
He felt repressed and whoever feels who feels afraid of losing cant attack.
With the loss Shogun, who is only 31 years old despite a long history in the sport, fell to ninth position in the UFC official light heavyweight ranking. Its unimpressive for someone won Pride and UFC championships.
Formerly he would not have commitments, he would go there and fight straightforward and beat everyone from all over the world. Today he does not have the right to put on a bad fight, he cant make a mistake or get tired.
When he loses, suddenly he is bad, nobody recognizes the talent of the opponent. It was like that with the loss to Jon Jones, who is the champion today. And now the same with Sonnen.

Police arrested an additional suspect on Wednesday in connection with the
February 8 arson attack against the management offices of Beitar
Jerusalem.Two suspects had been arrested on Tuesday. One of those
suspects and the suspect arrested on Wednesday both admitted they were involved
in the arson.The three men, all members of the hardcore Beitar fan group
La Familia, are in their 20s and from southern Israel. On Wednesday, the
Jerusalem Magistrate's Court extended their remand for several
days.Police added that the men admitted that the arson was in response
to the soccer team's hiring of Chechen Muslim players Gabriel Kadiev and Zaur
Sadayev, a move that has been the subject of harsh criticism from more extreme
members of the Beitar fanbase. One suspect also said that the arson was planned
out for some time and was not a spontaneous act.Police said they expect
to make more arrests in the case.

Caller Kelly was asked by Strahan, "On yesterday's show, we talked with Jeremy Renner. What sport did Jeremy say he once taught as a part-time job?" Unable to understand Strahan, Kelly asked, "Sport?" However, Strahan misheard her and blurted out, "Bowling! You got it!" Kelly will get to enjoy the vacation now, leading co-host Kelly Ripa to joke, "Kelly, honestly, the least you can do is bring Michael with you."

PRESTONSBURG — The body of a man found dead in his cell at the Floyd County Detention Center last week has been sent to the State Medical Examiner's Office, in Frankfort, for an autopsy.
Joey L. Griffith, 42, of David, was found unresponsive in his cell during the early-morning hours of Jan. 28, according to Jailer Roger Webb. He added that emergency services were contacted, and police, emergency medical technicians and the Floyd County Coroner's Office "came immediately."
According to records in Floyd District Court, Griffith had been incarcerated since Jan. 19, after originally being arrested for driving on a suspended license. He continued to be held due to a probation violation, after being convicted in May of giving an officer a false name and various traffic offenses.
The probation violation was Griffith's second since his original conviction, with the first dating back to September.
Webb did not offer any specifics concerning Griffith's death, saying he did not want to comment while the matter is still under investigation. He did note, however, that he knew Griffith, saying he had once worked at the jail.
"I lost a dear, close friend," Webb said.
Webb did confirm that Griffith had required hospitalization, days before his death. He said Griffith was treated Jan. 23 at Highlands Regional Medical Center and returned to the jail.
Coroner Greg Nelson said there have been no findings yet on a cause of death. He said autopsy results typically take 4-to-6 weeks, based on how busy the state lab is.
While noting that Griffith suffered from diabetes, Nelson said he had not seen anything that would indicate a cause of death, and authorities would wait for a final word from Frankfort before making any determination.
"Everything's pretty well going to be based on what the findings are in that autopsy," Nelson said.

I might be a little interested in the "x-cross" version. They could make a Senate Padme & Palpatine and put them all together into some kind of a battle pack.
I guess I should expand on my answer a little. Bail, while important to the story, is still a very minor character. I didn't even realize he'd had a significant costume change untill you pointed it out. The figures I already have are more than sufficient to satiate my collecting bug. If he was made, I don"t think he'd be a huge seller with anyone but hardcore collectors. Therefore, he should be shortpacked or maybe just come out in the initial wave and not revisions. For a less highly produced figure, I'd rather Hasbro use the slots to make some other obscure character we've not yet seen in plastic or to give a much needed update to an older figure that may not sell as well like TPM Padme.
I could use a new Bail. Either a resculpt of the other ROTS outfit we already have that allows for more movement or a new sculpt of the senate cross ensemble. I would just like a Bail in attire that belongs in the senate that can sit in the hover pod.

Only if they ever have a reason to make "old man Bail" from ANH.
No and no. The fact that we have more than 1 is a failure of the brand. The fact that the last Bail figure was in a wave whose failure torpedoed an entire year's worth of distribution is a sign that there aren't enough good MARKETABLE ideas left to mine in the prequels.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

Were you peeking in my window?!
Healing vibes for Addie. (((((Addie))) plus a few bear hugs too. Don't beat yourself up. It's part of raising children. What's her favorite treat? How about a surprise for her tonight-
went to dry clothes and the dryer died. Had to go to the laudromat. Forgot the cost and how long that takes.
Thanks for all the kind words. I think I was a little more upset than usual, since that boy Henry in our neighborhood died from falling off his skateboard and hitting the back of his head just a few months ago. Thank goodness Addie was fine.
I think I'll buy Addie a pack of Chuckles for tonight, those are her favorite!
On a lighter note - what the heck are Chuckles? (and where can I buy some?)
I'm feeling pretty cr@ppy about myself today.
I used to babysit a girl a bit older then my son. When she had been here about a week, I talked to her mom and asked if she had autism....or something. I didn't think it was autism, but there were some similarities, for example she wouldn't make eye contact. It was important because she was not interacting with the other kids. I needed input from her mom on how much to push her to play with the other kids without upsetting her. Turns out the girl has a missing chromosome. One of the symptoms is a developmental delay.
After her mom no longer needed a babysitter we lost contact until a few weeks ago when my son and the girl met again. She invited him to her birthday party, and he was planning to go....but it was planned the only day my kids can all come over for Christmas (yes...we're still waiting to do that.). So my son called and told her he wouldn't be able to go. So, she calls and tells him it's the day before. But, he still can't get there. So, I called her last night.
Turns out the party is....just him.
i feel so bad, because she was so excited about this party. I just think of her as her....I forget that chronologically she is much older then she acts. And she doesn't have many friends.
i have promised her that within the next two weeks we'll have her here and I'll bake her a birthday cake. I'm trying to arrange it for next weekend....she doesn't do well with waiting (already messaged me twice on Facebook).
so, today I'm ticked off at myself. But I'm trying to fix it!

Retirement Choice Calculator
High-36 vs. CSB/REDUX
The section entitled Typical Situations shows comparative results in the choice of retirement options for selected individuals with specific ranks and years of service that may not match your own circumstances. This calculator gives you the ability to generate similar charts and tables based on your personal situation. In addition to tailoring the results to your expected retirement grade, years of service, and age, you determine the use of the $30,000 career retention bonus under the CSB/REDUX option. You may allocate money into the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), an investment (such as a mutual fund), and/or spend a portion on a purchase. This calculator also allows you to change some economic assumptions, such as the inflation rate and the expected return that you could gain from investing the bonus.Remember, only members who first entered Service after July 31, 1986, may choose between the High-36 and CSB/REDUX retirement plans.In the calculator, you will be able to change the factors that affect the comparative results. No identifying data is requested nor retained by this web site.

In the early 90's I was driving along a Los Angeles area road, heading out to the beach. I happened upon what I believe was the John Fluevog Shoe outlet. I bought my first two pairs of Fluevogs that day—neither one fit me. Above is a photo of the size 5 shoe (I am a happy 8.5). I just wanted them to sit on my shelf because to me they were ART. I have since purchased many pairs of the unique and amazing shoes.
John Fluevog just opened a store in Denver Colorado. Mr. Fluevog himself, along with his beautiful wife, came to the grand opening. He signed these great blue suede shoes I bought. I have to give a shout out to my Cousin, Kris Deforest, and Aunts, Terrye Wiggins and Beth Kozlowski who gave me a birthday gift certificate to help purchase these great shoes. Check out Fluevog's amazing shoes.

I love Apple because they create world-class products and value design, usability, and quality. And I love iMore because of all the great Apple coverage!
I love apple because their products just plain work and are always smooth. I love imore because there is always an interesting article to read that is informative and unbiased
I peruse over to iMore from your sister site Android Central to see about news on the Apple side of the world for my iPad. I've been reading for a long time and am considering making the jump from Android to iPhone. I like the experience on my iPad and enjoy reading the articles here.
I probably love iMore more than Apple, because they are quiet and iMore give us rumour, hint, tips, comments... but Apple gives us the best hardware available.
I love imore bc it's a way to real about everything apple. I love apple bc I love the glowing logo.
I love apple for their seamless connection between software and hardware. While the iPhone May not have the best specs the software takes advantage of the hardware to such a degree it doesn't need the best specs to beat other phone.
I also like imore for their amazing content and reviews.
imore has always treated me well with friendly conversations around the forums, awesome contests to win, and plenty of friends to be made.
Apple has always treated me well. Superb customer service, great quality of products, they as a company are one of the many reasons I continue to choose iPhones over anything else on the market
I love Apple but I love iMore much more, know why? Because iMore let's me comment on stuff, whereas Apple doesn't let me write reviews on apps I BOUGHT!!!!. Stupid Apple (still want that 5s though.)
Apple is amazing! I love all of their products!
Hi all,
First of all I would like to thank you guys for your commitment to Apple and your readers.
iMore is the absolute best place to keep us all up-to-date with all the news and views on what we are interested in.
No point of explaining why I love my apple products as we all know the answer. Once you own an apple there is no turning back to any other product on the market. :)
I would love to get the $500 towards my new iPhone!

I love Apple because they make innovative products and have a great ecosystem. And they do it by their own timeframe. I love iMore as my goto site to get Apple news and just about everything Apple. Love the team. The team got even better this year. I check you guys out several times each day.

Apple products have enhanced my life greatly and I'm always on the lookout for what's next from my favorite company. The best place to do that is iMore.
I need a free iPhone 5s because my love of Apple has caused me to spend way too much.....
Love these opportunities! Feel the love, Apple & iMore :)
Love reading imore. Best place to be to read iphone and apple news in general. I love apple because they just make the best stuff. From computers to phones to tablets everything is better then all the other stuff other companies come out with. I look at apple as the premium product maker and Samsung as the generic product maker. Nuff said
iMore is one of my regular and favourite stops on the Web. I love iMore. And I love Apple. (there, I said it)
Apple is awesome and I love imore because you tell me everything I need to know and more!

Let's see what I think of Apple: I own a Macbook Pro, and iPhone 5, and iPad mini. My wife owns a Macbook Air, iPhone 4s, and full size iPad. Oh and we have an Apple TV. You could say we love Apple. And iMore is pretty much my go-to tech source for Apple related stuff now. You guys are all incredibly awesome! Would love to win this and give the wifey a new phone (it's actually her b-day today)!
I love apple products because they are made with quality, style & their hardware is top of the line technology. I love imore because they are consistently on top of apple trends and news for consumers.
iMore is the first site/app I check when I wake up, and the last site/app I check before bed. Love the coverage, and glad to have the Mac side brought in recently.
As far as Apple, I have been using their products since at least 1983, at least that is my earliest documented use!
Sent from the iMore App
Why i love apple?
Because it works. It's simple, userfriendly, has a multiplicity of apps and helps me with my daily routine.
Why I love iMore?
iMore has allowed me to use my apple devices better with neats tips, tricks and how-tos. Without iMore i may have never been able to maximize my use of my apple products. They're also a great source of current info.
Its simple Apple is the only company who thinks to make a dent(mark) in the hearts of people. No other company does that and apple does it to perfection. It's not profit minded, apple just want to be remembered as the company that makes incredible products. Frankly i don't like imore much its my third mac fan site which comes after cult of mac and tuaw.
I know that my chances of winning are small but I'll always be glad I found iMore to help me stay current with the latest tech news.

Can't wait to hear about the latest and greatest iPhone.
I would love a new one!
iMore has become the go-to spot for news and articles. Also MN has great and informative podcasts.
Apple? They just can't pry me away from an iPhone no matter how much I try. That's a pretty good product.
Wishing for an awesome iphone 5 event today! With all os the rumors flying around, I am curious if there will be anything we don't all ready know!! FIngers crossed!! Cant wait for it!!
I like your editorial on all things Apple and I love Apple products because they just work!
Well I love that Apple makes strides to be different, risky strides that only them in their position can make. People will always dislike the most threatening, but their is no denying apple deserves to be where it is today. I only own one apple product and that's my iphone 5 that I just got 6 months ago, I'm enjoying it and hope I will enjoy iOS7 soon. Apple has made a great product and while I would love to have the latest and greatest my iPhone is doing quite well on it's own. Good luck to everyone!
i love imore because they are giving away a phone that apple, another company i love, made.
iMore is the greatest place to get the latest and greatest concerning apple and the iPhone 5S is a great phone that would look real nice in my hands.
I re really hope that the fingerprint scanner goes beyond just lock screen entry. Love iMore. Rene, I drink every time you say "change aDverse". :)
Apple makes magical stuff and imore writes about it.
I like that iMore keeps me up to date on iPhone stuff - I'm excited about the prospect of the fingerprint sensor!
I love em both nothing more to say
I love apple and imore because their products are simply the best and u guys always bring accurate information about them. i need that 5s!!!!!
I love apple because their software brought me to study filmmaking and audio production. And I love iMore because they keep in informed about Apple!
I love Apple so much I have actually given up my PC repair business and replaced all of my home computers phones etc. with Apple products. I've been a long time avctive member of iMore since it was TiPB ever since I switched over from CrackBerry.
Love the support Apple and iMore give to their fans! Always keeping us entertained!
I used to be an android fanboy all the way, but that changed when I started looking at iMore. I became more and more interested the more I kept up with this site and it made me take the plunge and buy the iPhone when it came out on Verizon. I've loved Apple products and iMore ever since and I have never looked back!

I love all things Apple. I guess you could say I am addicted to Apple. I am probably way to excited about today's event. I am equally addicted to iMore. Absolute best site for all of my addiction needs. You guys rock!!!!
I love my apples! I love how my iPhone and ipad communicate seamlessly with each other. They just work and they look and feel awesome. I love imore because you have the best and most accurate information about all things Apple. You also have some pretty funny and great contributors! Can't wait for a new iPhone :)
wish i could be there, but i cant, im so Excited to see the new iPhone or iphones and maybe ios7 today..hope i can win..good luck everyone..
I love your site! iMore is always the first place I come for my Apple news. The Apple environment is essential to my workflow, so of course I love Apple products!
Apple is a the only brand which challenges my world perspective and philosophy. My world perspective includes that major corporations shouldn't be able to place their money in the Cayman Islands nor use VERY cheap labor to create their product - BUT with Apple I don't seem to care because they're just THAT good.
Two of the best tech co's on the planet today. Apple for products & iMore to help me stay on top of it all.
Wow! Apple is simply the best one out there when referring to computers, cellphones and MP3 players. Every keynote they do their best to keep everything secret until their great unveiling.
And which else could give us readers a great coverage of Apple's world as iMore does! Every single day you guys post the best info out there, making the best experience following Apple's big news!
iLove Apple but iLove iMore more!
Need an upgrade! Can't wait to see what is announced.
I'd love to wind a $500 gift certificate to put towards an iPhone 5S. I love Apple because they have well build (albeit expensive) hardware and are children friendly with their settings and apps. I love iMore because there is no better place to go to get the most all-inclusive news on iOS.
I love all my Apple products. Ease of use. Quality. Fun! I also love iMore lots of great news, tips and reviews.
I love Apple like I love iMore.
I love iMore like I love Apple.
I love both, alot.
'Nough said.
I am a huge fan of apple because of the thought that goes into the experience for the end user. They are simple and elegant - not an easy combo to find in the world of tech gadgets. And I am a huge fan of iMore because they write about things I care about and I can tell they care too.
i have started with tipb.com when i got my first apple product (iphone 4) to know the latest trend in apple and its been a daily routine even in office, now i am hook with apple from mac mini, ipod, ipad seen it all here, thanks imore.
I loved my iPhone, then I dropped it and now my finger doesn't love me. iMore doesn't look as pretty with cracks running through each post!
I had a lapse in judgement in October 2012. I had been an iPhone user since 2008 but decided to jump ship to an Samsung S3. I came back in June 2013 with an iPhone 5. I still used Android central while I had an S3. I still type "tipb.com" out of habit as I have been on this forum for so long.
iMore + Apple = Way of Life
I love Apple through its wonderful "hey it's magic" lineup of iPad, iPhone, iPod, iMac, MacBook Pro and so on. I love reading iMore for making the above so wonderfully more magic and so simple to use through its tips and their insights and comments into the fascinating and yet still so mysterious world of Apple to all of us (except of those working in the inner sanctum of Apple!)

I really love apple and all of its products there just like a classy brand and I love imore just as much as I love apple
I love Apple because because they offer me the best mix of hardware and software. They do what I need my stuff to do... most of the time anyway. My do I love iMore? How can you not love a site that has people like Rene, Peter, Richard, Georgia, and Ally?
I can't wait to dump my BB and get my hands on an iPhone 5S. I really enjoyed reading about the history of the iPhone (thanks Rene!) and all of the articles leading up to the September iPhone event. Thanks iMore!
I drug my feet coming into the apple ecosystem. But the first time I tried the iPhone 3G I knew I had to have it. My family has since gone all in getting multiple iPhones, Apple TV, iPad mini, and a Mac mini. We love apple products because they work well together. I started reading iMore in 2009 I believe back when it was still The iPhone Blog. I have learned how to make the most of my devices and learned about some great apps I might not have tried if it had not been for iMore. I check iMore daily now as well as their forums.

I used to give my boss/mentor/friend a hard time about being a Mac Addict. From having an iPhone, to iPad, to iPod, to MacBook and an AppleTV, and thing and everything Apple he had. I'll admit I had an iPod, but at the time that was it. I got a iPhone 4 and after that went to town... His role and mine well flipped. I became the addict. I have now a iPad, iPad mini, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, AppleTV, and a iPhone 5.
I blame iMore for all this, due to the their awesomeness. Okay, maybe not all, but some at least.
I've left the iPhone a couple times (4s for GS3 and 5 for GS4) only to return to the rock solid iOS. Apple makes the most reliable phone and their app store is unparalleled.
I love Apple because they make very solid products. They make very few different types of products, but they make them well.
I love iMore because the quality of reporting is intriguing, informative, and fun.
I've been coming to imore since 2009 when I got my first iPhone, the 3GS. I love the tips and the articles. It's a great community in the forums as well.
Before I got the iPhone I could never understand why people were willing to pay a premium for Apple products. Now I do. Owning an Apple product is an experience. From opening the package, to customer support, to company events. Before the iPhone I owned every other operating system and they all fell short. The iPhone was so polished and so much attention was payed to detail. I've never looked back.
More than fat girls love cake, bill Cosby loves jello puddin pops and dearth Vader loves padme.
I love iMore. Just hope I can win because I need a new phone. Never won anything yet.
For me! :)
iLove iMore. I check it daily and read almost every article. It's my 'news'. What can I say about apple that hasn't already been said. I won't change from apple as long as I can see.

Apple and imore rock. I more is the reason I keep up with apple news as they make it interesting, and apple builds a solid product. Oh and contests like this certainly don't hurt!
My love for Apple products stems from their ability to design products with functionality that while can be simple in nature provides an enjoyable environment whenever I use any of their products. As for iMore...Your site provides great updates on upcoming events / rumors and more importantly you provide great tidbits that help me make the best use of my Apple products. In addition your editorials provide engaging and thought provoking comments. Keep up the great work.

I love apple because of its ecosystem, because of OsX, because of a thousand app that help me manage my life! I love apple because they hired, years ago, a great information architect, and whatever the competitors do, they did not understand that this is the key to create a great OS. I love their hardware and I love their software, and I love iMore for giving me reviews about the latter one and staying on the news about Apple ecosystem! And I would love you even more if you give me an iPhone! I am now stuck with an Android (damn thieves!) and I would love to return home! :D
I've been a faithful member her since the days of tipb and I love imore just as much! It's my homepage in chrome and the only place I go for all things apple. As for apple it's a love for a company that shows you what you never needed yet want obsessively. My next tatto will be an apple logo to show my love for the greatest company ever!!

iMore is simply the best source for apple stuff, I love your site and would be the most happy person in the world to get a Iphone 5S
I've always had an android but with the new iPhone 5s & 5c plus the new features of iOS 7 apple has definitely made me a believer. I'm switching over to team iPhone. I've always been a fan of androids customization but now I can do that on an iPhone. I'm definitely going to be buying the 5c when released. I might even preorder it. I see why everyone is in love with Apple's products. They have beautiful products made with quality & made to last. They are worth every last penny unlike androids that seem to easily have software issues and not to mention how easy it is for an android to get a virus. I bought the nexus 4 in April & I love it but I'm going to leave it for an iPhone.
I love imore because i just do! their my number 1 source for all my apple news :) i love browsing the forums and i love every single one of the people on this website :) you make getting the latest apple news so simple!

I've been using Apple since OS 9 and I got the original (expensive) iPhone so I know and love Apple well. It's great to see a site like iMore come along and do such fantastic work covering them. Thanks for all you do and I'm anxious to see what will be unveiled today!

I love iMore for their ability to predict the next big thing from Apple. I love Apple for their ability to surprise everyone - including iMore!
iMore is an innovative website that I have surfed while finding truthful updates about the latest rumors for the IPhone. I love IPhone for different reasons but specifically for me, I love iMessage. I love the bubble that comes up when people are responding back to my text!! That simple feature fulfills me. I am new to the IPhone family and I am grateful!
iMore always has the best coverage of all things Apple!! Looking forward to what's coming next!!
Rene's analysis really rocks.
I just started using apple products at my work and got my first iPad a few months ago. Highly anticipating the new iPhone! Amazing products!
Why I Love Apple: Their products make my life infinitely more simple.
Why I Love iMore: Their site makes knowing how much longer I have to wait with a cracked screen for the iPhone 5S infinitely more simple. <3
I love Apple products....why? Because of how easy they are to learn and use.
Having a daughter in grade school now, I am simply amazed at how brilliant Apple is. Our school district has all Apple iMacs and MacBooks....in EVERY classroom and EVERY computer lab. They also use iPads in several classrooms.....BRILLIANT!!! You introduce this "ecosystem" of Apple products to the kids at a young age and then when they become consumers guess what they will lean towards.....Apple products.
My kids dont tell me they used the computer at school, they say they played on the MacBook.....
They dont go onto the internet, they go on to Safari......
Kudos, Apple..... you're doing it right.
iMore love Apple than you!!! And iMore always gives me the latest for the next gadget I'm going to be getting! Apple always does a great job connecting all my stuuf together. And with Apple, the iMore the better!
Hell, I love iMore because it was easy to find news for my new iPad, coming from Crackberry!
I still own a BB phone, but I'm looking forward to embrace the iPhone 5S and the lovely iOS7 that comes with it...
As a long time android enthusiast, Android is getting stale. I have owned every nexus product except the Nexus 10. Android hasn't had a significant update since Jelly Bean first launched a few years ago. Jelly bean is good but not perfect and I am getting tired of looking at the same holo ui for years. I am excited to see what Apple has in store for the new iPhone and am excited to see more about iOS 7. What I've seen so far is a beautiful update to a stable software suite that updates what is needed and keeps the features that work best. iMore and the whole mobile nations community is by far the best place for mobile device news.
iMore and Apple, oh how do I love thee...let me count the ways! 1.The products just work. I don't have to jailbreak my phone or iPad so it'll do what I wish. It does it right out of the box! 2. Sexy. Can I say that in a comment? Because the iPhone sure is! And iMore well you guys are freakin' awesome. You're my number 1 source for news as well as how to's! You make me look good when I can solve my friend's iPhone/Apple problems. Man I love that search option!

If this leads to a 128 GB iPhone I will be in heaven. Apple makes products as they should be made....to work. And when I put in my preorder and go through the impatient process of waiting, there is no no better place to wait and discuss my iPhone hopes and dreams with then at imore. :)
My wife has an iPhone 4 that has a shattered back and cracked screen. I would love to grab this for her.
