Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel

It is known in Kabbalistic literature that the letters of the Aleph-Beis were created first of all. Thereafter, by use of the letters , the Holy One , Blessed is He, created all the worlds. This is the hidden meaning of the first phrase in Torah, "In the beginning God created Aleph Tav"____ that is, God's first act was to create the letters from Aleph to Tav(Or Torah: see p. 35)
Abraham observed the Torah from Aleph to Tav.Aleph to Tav = Completely/Completion
All creation is done through language.
And the HS.... that's an other discussion because HS seems to be a "It"
I thought he meant son as in, lower in the chain of command, for he could have had a daughter, but choose to use the word son. That to me means under authority of the father, despite being God. But this is something to look for when reading, and praying for understanding.I would rather the word to have existed with God from eternity, as this new idea can greatly reduce the power and significance of Jesus.
Some Christians hear the holy ghost talk to them, I don't know if any Universalist here has?
I find this very interesting and powerful, but I must ask, is Dr. Strong in error when he gives his meaning?createdH1254 (H853) He shows it coupledwith created, but still it is את ayth (not ath)
Could ath mean "angels"Angels Thought HaMaschia (just for fun)For there is no account of angels being created, yet they are a supposed to be created beings. (serious)
If you look at the picture in the first post you will see that the word in the red box has no Strong number associated with it.Mr. Strong never knew the meaning of the word and just skipped it. And as far as I understand it no one knows the meaning of the word.Of course it's everybodies own choice but I would strongly suggest THIS free program. It's a small program and runs very well on old/slow PCs.It's the most literal translation I know of. So literal that it's kinda unreadble (at first).But perfect for word studies like this. It has Strong numbers linked to every word.Or more precisely every known word....

The Ashe County Free Medical Clinic was ranked high in areas of hypertension control and in all aspects of diabetes control in the latest report compiled by the North Carolina Association of Free Medical Clinics.
The Clinic is considered to be an "ELITE Clinic," or among the top 10 percent, in Diabetes Care Management. Hypertension and diabetes are the most severe chronic conditions in the Clinic's patient population.
Greg Bolac, the Clinic's Executive Director, said that these results are due to the efforts and dedication of the clinic's volunteer medical staff, and the willingness of the patients to maintain compliance with the program.
In 2012 the Clinic provided free care to over 520 patients which comprised over 1,700 patient visits.
The Clinic is funded by local contributions and local fundraising efforts. The next fundraising event will be the Eighteenth Annual Carl and Pearl Hagel Golf Tournament being held on April 27, 2013, at Mountain Aire Golf Course.
For any questions about the Ashe County Free Medical Clinic or the golf tournament, please e-mail Greg Bolac at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call 846-4649.

More Information
The Frio City Food Mart hummed with customers Thursday who hoped the good luck suddenly associated with the convenience store would rub off on them.
Somebody had bought a $1 million winning ticket there in Wednesday's Powerball drawing and the word spread fast. By late afternoon, the Lottery Commission identified the winner only as Ruben Briones and said he wanted minimal publicity.
He's a regular customer, store manager Hussain Rajab said, adding that Briones contacted him Thursday afternoon to say thank you on behalf of his family. At a one-story residence listed in Briones' name a few blocks from Frio City Food Mart, no one appeared to be home late Thursday.
A next-door neighbor, Rudy Villarreal, who said he was married to one of Briones' sisters, confirmed the Briones who won lived next to him. He said the family had left in the morning to avoid attention as word spread and asked for loved ones refrain from releasing much personal information, including Briones' occupation.
However, he said Briones' son, around age 8, had exclaimed he was "very happy" with the lottery win, and described Ruben as a "real quiet type" who enjoyed the West Side and sitting in his lawn occasionally with a beer chatting with loved ones and friends.
Thursday morning at the store, Jose Ramon Castro, 45, a native of El Salvador, heard about the win and came in to buy some scratch-offs, as business at his tree-cutting service was slow. One of them yielded a $1,000 win, so he leaned against the hood of his Ford pickup applying the edge of a coin to more tickets. By noon, he had spent about $140, gambling for an even bigger win.
"I'd invest it in something and not buy a lot if I won anything like the Powerball," the father of four said in Spanish. "Well, maybe a new house and some new cars for me and my wife would be nice."
Two winning tickets for the $588 million Powerball jackpot were sold — in Arizona and Missouri, the Associated Press reported Thursday. It's the second-largest U.S. lottery prize ever and ignited a national buying craze.
The winning ticket sold at the Frio City Food Mart matched the first five numbers drawn, but not the Powerball. It's one of four $1 million winners in Texas; the others were sold at convenience stores in Dallas, Houston and Humble, the Texas Lottery Commission said. Briones was the first to claim his prize.
Before the commission identified the local winner, speculation was rampant at the store at 707 Frio City Road. One customer was sure it was an uncle who shopped there often. Another said he had heard it was a lady who lived a few blocks away.
About noon, Fred Lozano, an employee of Gtech Corp., which operates the lottery for the Texas Lottery Commission, arrived to fasten bright yellow signs near the gas pumps that loudly announced a winning ticket had been sold there.
"I don't know who won, but he is going to find out he has so many relatives," Lozano quipped.
Regardless of a repeat winner, only stores that sell winning tickets of $1 million or more get the coveted sign, and Rajab has the bragging rights forever.
"These signs usually anoint a store as a Chosen Temple or Holy Grail for lottery ticket buyers," Lozano said. "It'll help his business."
Rajab said he sold tickets to more than 260 people Wednesday. Lottery officials said the same thing was happening at stores across Texas, with sales peaking between 6 p.m. and 6:59 p.m. at a statewide clip of $74,880 per minute.
A native of Pakistan, Rajab said his family has owned the store eight years and loves the area. Eligible for a retailer bonus, he said the family would like to use the money to upgrade the store, which fronts a street parallel to railroad tracks and warehouses bisecting a working-class neighborhood.
Roger Martinez, one of several regulars who strolled in to get a morning beer and chat about the win, described the news as a morale boost for the community. Beverly Rodriguez said she had stopped by to get some gas Wednesday and said she regretted not buying a Powerball ticket while she was at it.
"Next time, hopefully," she said. "It was that close."

and delivers a rapid return on investment.Redtail CRM's integration with Citrix ShareFile allows advisors to link client's ShareFile folders to a ShareFile Documents area within contact records in the CRM. After linking a ShareFile folder to a contact record within Redtail CRM, any files within those linked folders from within the CRM can be opened.If your office has embraced a paperless environment, then you already understand the tangible benefits of having done so, in terms of cost, time and compliance. But, what are the benefits to tying your electronic documents to your CRM? Accessing client files from within your CRM eliminates the time required to switch back and forth between applications to access data on the same client.By establishing this access to business-critical paperwork within your CRM, you allow yourself greater flexibility within your office with access to your actual ShareFile account. While you can apply permissioning to folders within your ShareFile account, if there are employees to whom you only want to grant read access, you can grant this to them through Redtail CRM without providing them access to your ShareFile account. Also, since Redtail CRM also offers permissioning functionality, if there are certain clients that you don't want all employees to have access to, further permissioning can be set up within Redtail. This means that you could set up employees who have read-only access to client paperwork within Redtail CRM, and also determine which clients they have access to, so not all files would necessarily be available to them.Implementing this integration in your office thus gives you further efficiencies within your office while at the same time giving you a great deal of flexibility in terms of file access.

Stephen really knew how to turn a cornfield into the creepiest place on earth in this story, but what is it that makes them so creepy really? Is it the story itself that makes them appear so? Or maybe it's the gangly way the blades reach out from the stem like long, withered arms in the late autumn?
In the past I've generally never thought of cornfields as something to be wary of, but now I guess it would depend on the season and time of day. Whenever I happen to drive by one and look out the window I can't help but shiver a little and think back to...Children of the Corn!

Quote from: Paul Hazelwood on December 15, 2008, 04:41:59 PMHi Brian, peoples perception of either title is a bigger problem. I can say I am a universalist and Christians will say things that show they have no interest in talking to "ME" about what I believe. What perception do people have of Christians? Is it the perception people have based on organized religion? I would say yes. Maybe a better title would be "Do you search for truth in scripture, or just follow the dogma?" That is a good question. But I feel one can do that without divorcing oneself from the rest of the Body of Christ based on dogma. UR is a dogma after all. A dogma being a doctrine or code of beliefs accepted as authoritative.
Hi Brian, peoples perception of either title is a bigger problem. I can say I am a universalist and Christians will say things that show they have no interest in talking to "ME" about what I believe.

Maybe a better title would be "Do you search for truth in scripture, or just follow the dogma?"
I often spend more time in UR websites than in the Word. I'm trying to break that trend. Not to abandon UR, but to set a balance. The Bible tells us who or Lord is and what He expects of us as His disciples. There's more to the Bible in my opinion than trying to decipher ET, Annihilationism, UR. And in my opinion, an objective Bible student/scholar will admit that all three dogmas can be backed up with scriptural references. Or admit that all three dogmas can be debunked with scriptural references. Personally I want to become a stronger better equipped saint overall, rather than solely an advocate of UR.
Do you spend anytime fellowshipping with your brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ in real life, even if they don't believe in UR?
The only problem in my experience with internet fellowship, is if it's exclusive.
As far as hiding what I believe goes, I believe almost everything that those I fellowship with believe. Most of us believe in non-Calvinistic Eternal Security. But I'm told there are a few among us who don't believe in it. But apparently they are able to put aside their doctrinal differences, in favor of what we all do agree upon overall.
Thus, we are in one accord.
For me personally, I believe faith and trust and obedience in Jesus Christ alone should be the paramount aspect of my faith.
Are you fed/taught by a qualified Bible teacher who doesn't just focus on UR?
I wasn't referring to them. I see a lot more names dropped here other than Father Son and Holy Spirit, as guides.
One that doesn't go off on wild tangents. Let me give an example of someone I used to follow. Adam and Eve had sexual relations with the serpent. Cain and Able were fraternal twins. Can the son of the serpent, Able the son of Adam. Adam was an 8th day creation. God already created the blacks, browns, yellows and reds. And then he created Caucasian Adam. And so forth and so on. There's a couple on names dropped here often of guys who sound about as kooky as this guy. He means well I'm sure. But he's just gone off on too many wild tangents in my opinion.
I see it as more of a critical and concerned personal view of seeing what appears to be contempt of the rest of the Body of Christ. This is I believe supposed to be Christian Universalism (notice how the Christian part comes first). Or is it "christian" Universalism or christain Universalism?
To me there's just so much more about Christianity than the dogmas of ET (and all it's various aspects), Annihilationism and UR.
Good point. I'll rephrase that as a personal rule of thumb. And that it would be what to start out with.
Jesus didn't spend so much time warning us about the dire consequences of sin and disobedience, if there wasn't anything to be afraid of. Or tell us He was the ONLY way to the Father, if there were some other way. Jesus is not Mr. Rogers or Barney the dinosaur.
No, I most certainly do not want Universalists to accept the teaching of eternal hellfire. I'll be glad to PM you many emails I sent to my cousin the "ET" pastor, refuting eternal hellfire, before even hearing the term Universal Salvation. And surprise, he didn't explode or tell me I was going to hell or call me a heretic.
We must not cause dissention within the Body. If one Can't attend a Fellowship without stirring up dissention, then I agree, he shouldn't attend. But I feel that many of us can learn to get along with our brothers and sisters, even if they believe a person can lose their salvation and I don't, or they believe in eternal hell fire, because their Bible says so, and I don't, so far. I'm willing to concede I might be wrong.
Maybe I'm compromising or selling myself short, but we have a jolly good time praising the Lord and loving one another.
The way I see it, if Jesus could go 30 years without speaking against the Pharisees and teachers of the law and proclaiming the New Covenant. I can spend a few years in the traditional Body of Christ. I feel obligated to do so, just as Jesus was obligated.

Not even the FLESH of CHRIST could do other than return to the DUST. For FLESH and BLOOD shall NOT inherit the Kingdom of GOD... Our FLESH is completely worthless... and must return to the dust because it is worthless... but the FLESH of CHRIST was part of Humanity as well, and even though WORTHY, returned to the DUST to bring back to LIFE, ...the rest of the DUST which, one by one, had succumbed to DEATH because of SIN!!!
Where does it say the flesh of Christ returned to dust? The tomb was empty.

1Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. 2So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!" 3So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. 4Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. 6Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus' head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen. 8Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. --John 20
We all know these verses Molly... because the tomb was empty, does not mean the the BODY which was lived in flesh & blood with the potential to be tempted with SIN, and suffered DEATH ...was the same body which was RAISED to LIFE...

WILLIAMSON - "These prescriptions were legally obtained – but unlawfully sold," stated Williamson Police Chief C.D. Rockel, as he referred to a drug buy that occurred in downtown Williamson Tuesday afternoon, just minutes after the defendant had picked up a prescription for Hydrocodone (Lortab) 7.5 tablets, a Schedule II narcotic, from a local pharmacy.
Mingo County Special Investigator Eugene Crum told the Daily News that he had received an anonymous tip that Bernadine "Dean" Francis, 57, of N. Big Creek Rd., Hatfield, Ky., had been observed selling prescription pills in the Tug Valley Pharmacy parking lot, located on 2nd Avenue. Crum immediately notified Chief Rockel, and they got with a confidential informant and traveled to the pharmacy. After contact was made between the C.I. and Francis, a location on 5th Ave. was selected as the buy-zone. While at the arranged site, Francis is said to have sold a quantity of hydrocodone tablets to the informant.
Francis was taken into custody and was arrested on one count of delivery of a Schedule II controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school (Williamson Middle). While conducting a search of the defendant, the officers discovered their drug-buy money, along with other hydrocodone tablets in his possession. Francis was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Dallas Toler who set bond at $75,000, full-cash, and was remanded to the custody of the Southwestern Regional Jail at Holden.
Williamson Patrolman D. Paige also recognized Francis as being in the company of people that were recently cited for public intoxication on 2nd Avenue near City Tire, including one female who urinated in public and received a citation for indecent exposure.
"You can't sell drugs," said Crum. "That's as plain as I can put it. It's an illegal act and you will go to jail. People get over confident and they think they are either above the law or that they're too smart for us and won't get caught. Neither of those statements is true."
"From what I understand, Mr. Francis is well known among the business owners and private citizens of both Mingo and Pike County," stated Rockel. "This is a perfect example that the same rules apply to everyone."
Since being appointed as Special Drug Investigator on Aug. 1 of this year, Crum and Chief Rockel have headed up drug investigations that have so far, yielded 27 felony arrests from all portions of Mingo County. Several convictions against these defendants have already been obtained by the prosecutor's office and a number of guilty pleas have been entered by others who faced drug charges.

Moctoberfest is a month-long celebration of Chattanooga Mocs men's basketball. It includes historical moments, social media interactions and introduction to UTC's freshmen among the myriad of video tributes and stories.
Day 19 focuses on the most exciting play by a current Mocs student-athlete. Dontay Hampton's coast-to-coast gamewinner capped a comeback from a 12-point deficit to Appalachian State for the 65-63 triumph on January 7, 2012.
Click the video link to witness the play. Z. Mason set the stage by hitting two free throws with 38 seconds left to tie the score at 63-all. Mason then forced the Mountaineers' Omar Carter into a long three-point attempt with seven seconds left.
The ball bounded off to the right of the basket where Hampton corralled it and sped up court. He sprinted through the defense weaving through two Mountaineers near mid-court. Challenged at the basket, Hampton's running layup was true. With 0.8 still on the clock, ASU tried a desperation shot from the backcourt which was well off the mark.
Chattanooga opens the season Monday, November 12, against Tennessee Temple in McKenzie Arena at 7 p.m. Season tickets for a school-record 18-game home slate are available. Call 266-MOCS (6627), go online here at GoMocs.com or stop by the Gate One McKenzie Arena Ticket Office. Single-game tickets are also on sale now.
GoMocs.com is the official website of the Chattanooga Mocs. The Mocs can also be followed on their official Facebook page (ChattanoogaMocs), or on Twitter (@GoMocsMBB & @GoMocs).

- In plain view : the body as site of detection and inscription in serial killer narratives ; ein Essay (2009)
- At the beginning of every story of murder there is always a body. If the murderer is a serial killer, there is, of course, more than one. More importantly, the bodies left by the serial killer are not likely to be intact and whole. What he leaves behind and what we, the audience, will get to see is the body in pieces, dismembered, scattered. A series of snapshots, partial views, and close-ups, inflicting cold sharp shocks, is all we may glimpse: the head of Benjamin Raspail floating in a jar of formaldehyde in The Silence of the Lambs, a finger removed by the serial killer from his landlord's hand in Kalifornia, a ziploc bag of fingers recovered from a flooded drainpipe in When The Bough Breaks, a surgically severed hand used to leave misleading fingerprints on a wall at a crime scene in Seven.

I love my Macbook Air and i'd love to win a shiny new iphone 5s!!!..:-)
Since apple comes to my life I began to feel the simplicity of techonology, is like they can know what I need and when I need. IMore guys you are my way to keep me always informed and motivated about apple products and the best of it. I love both of you.

iMore - Keeps me informed on all the latest news, apps and rumors. Community is there to help when I am actually able to break something in the ecosystem and need help.
Thanks guys, for everything!
I started loving Apple because I loved reading iMore (had a Droid at the time)!
I love This site!!!! Always giving away never asking for anything!!!!! I love apple for making products so that I can visit this site everyday!!!!!
Love iMore, great coverage and less biased than most company/ecosystem based sites (true for all Mobile Nations sites). Apple I'm loving less and less these days and hope that they start turning that around later today.
iMore is the best source of Apple information I'm addicted to iMore. Apple just does it better, they have the best user experience.

I love Apple for making products that I WANT to own. And I love iMore because you're the first place that I go for any software/hardware problem for any of our iOS devices!
I love Apple so very much because Steve Jobs was a brilliant guy trying to improve humanity and Apple continues his work. Ofcourse I love iMore a bunch too for its coverage of Job's and Apple's continuing positive impact on humanity.
iMore is the only place I get my Apple news!!
I could always use a new iPhone! Love iMore for their coverage on all things related to iPhone and iPad. It's the first place I go for information. Thanks.
iMore is my favorite place to read about Apple products, which I love!
Would love to win my favorite phone from my favorite site!
I love Apple because superior quality, service and experience matter to them. iMore is awesome because it keeps me up to date on all things Apple! I've been saving and saving for a Mac for so long! It would be great to update my iPhone 4 to a 5S as well! Thanks for the chance to win iMore!
Well I've been a long time Microsoft user, but with everything I've read about the new Apple products being introduced today, I've decided to make the switch to apple. I have iMore to thank for providing me with all the information needed to make my decision. If iMore could help me buy my first iphone, I would be a fan and reader for life.
i love $500, i mean apple and imore......
If I told you how much I love Apple, well...you might just think I hit my head really hard when I fell off the turnip truck. If I told you how much I love iMore, you'd probably think the fall off the turnip truck was the least of my worries. ;-D
pick me!!
I can't wait to be able to turn off Bluetooth ect. With out going into settings.
I love the products from Apple and the information from iMore.
Apple Rocks, iMore Rocks. It would Rock if I won!!
I loved apple from the day I got my first iPod (nano, 2nd gen, RED) and have been using apple ever since. iMore is pretty much the only website I use to find out stuff like new iPhones (maybe also twitter), basically I love em both
Hope IPhone 5C will be distributed in Italy as well... it would be better to win one!!!
Waymore iMore please to keep me posted I all thinks i.
I love apple because everything works the way its supposed to its awesome. I more because its my source for anything apple
I am the Apple promoter (read fanboy) at my company. Everything Apple is awesome! Staying up with Apple news on iMore is a close second!! I need to replace my youngest daughters hand-me-down iPhone 3GS. Winning this contest will bring such joy to her 12 year old life. Help me bring her in to the light that is iOS 7 on a new iPhone. I beg you.
I love all Apple products and have been using them forever. I really want an iPhone 5S because I am still on the iPhone 4
I've been a fan of Apple since I first used an Apple IIe at the age of 6. I'm really looking forward to the 5s and hope I win this!

wow more than 1700 comment in this thing.i want it too!
Apple. The best. Period. Always imitated, but never duplicated.
Imore. When I wake up, I check on my wife and kids, Imore, the news, and my email. People ask me how do I do this/that on my (name your apple product). I direct them to THIS site. I have turned my place of employ from a featureless phone workplace into a Apple loving 30-40 Iphone/Ipad environment. AND I use Imore to troubleshoot every day! Success!
I really need to replace my mom's aging iphone 4 and this would really help. I really love how well she can use the home without much tech support from me.
I love Apple because of their iphones, everything is more convenient and easier with them. AND I love imore because no one else has the great articles you guys have regarding iphones, all in one place. I come to imore on a daily basis because I always find something relevant :)
This really wouldn't be for me but for my wife who is a die hard Apple fan and still rocking a iPhone 4 :( because of financial reasons. I myself am a complete mobile nations fan and so I read all of the iMore blogs as much as all the rest and think they are just great!!
Good Luck everyone!!
I hope I win the new iPhone :)
honestly, apple has changed the way people look at phones. always updating and exploring new ideas. apple is a great company and stamp for our generation. imore is a great site that ive been using for awhile but the news and forum always keeps you informed of great information. very sold that this is the best site when it comes to anything iphone. great job guys!
Will be my first Apple product
I check iMore so many times a day I probably need therapy. It could technically be considered a disorder, as it affects my daily life. Whether that's good or bad, I don't know. Productivity is definitely negatively affected, so you tell me! APPLE! APPLE! APPLE!
I love iMore and I want moreeeee! :) Thanks!
Totally an Apple fan, been using their products since 1980, and always will! iMore of course hasn't been around as long, but totally love them too, great articles, great contests and great people!
I love Apple because of the delight their products bring me and I love iMore because of your superior and in-depth reviews!
Technically I am not the die hard. My girlfriend is. She is begging me to buy her an iMac, iPad, and now a new iPhone after she smashed her 5. So as they say "happy wife, happy life"
help me make her happy?(which with women we know is not easy) lol
I love apple because of their streamlined user interface and incomparable performance. iMore is my place for any apple news, and I can easily switch to any other mobile nations sites to find out about other platforms.
I LOVE Apple... but I love iMore!
I was a die-hard Android fan until about 8 months ago when I got my first iPhone, an iPhone 5. I was having problems with my Galaxy Nexus phone resetting constantly, poor battery life, glitchy apps and just unimpressed with the "flagship" device this was supposed to be.
I was able to upgrade to an Apple iPhone 5 and can say I am very impressed and love the iOS system very much. Suits all my daily needs and then some. I can firmly say I will be sticking with Apple for a long time to come. I was an avid follow of Android Central at the time, so when changing to an Apple device, I needed a new place to get the latest Apple news, luckily iMore and Android Central are basically cousins, so the transition was VERY easy.
I enjoy reading the articles and news updates here, just as much as I enjoy my iPhone.
Keep up the good work!
I Love iMore so much because it has always the best stories, telled the best way! And the only thing I love more than iMore, is Apple, because without Apple, iMore wouldn't exist!
i love the iphone because it brings simplicity by connecting with all my idevices. Plus its awesome for on the go gaming and music production. imore lets me learn about new products, and how to make future products better. i love the podcasts.
Want to know why i LOVE apple?? Simply because it works ha! I know if i have a single breathe left and moments will determine if i live or die my iphone will get the job done and wont freeze up on me lol. I will survive!! And i love iMore Thhhhhhiiiiiisssss much for informing me about apple
I love Apple and their products. I am big fan of the company and I am following the company closely. iMore is the best place to go for Apple news and discussions. I love coming here to find the latest news and to read comments of like-minded users.
Every morning, the first thing I do when I wake up is to check what is new on iMore. It is a AMAZING source of information.
Thanks iMore, keep up the great job!
Love Apple...convert! want more! No better way to stay up to date than iMore!!! Today is another BIG DAY!!!!
Every time Apple holds a news event it feels like Christmas morning!! When the Apple website goes down with anticipation of new toys it feels like my birthday!! Obviously a BIG DAY!!! Please don't disappoint Mr. Cook.....
Apple and iMore like PB&J what's not to like?
i never own an iphone before, so it would be a great chance to own apple's product.
Apple was my gateway into computing. It became an indispensable tool, a way to earn a living, a joy to use, a communications device, a musical instrument, a contact to the rest of the world. iMore helps me appreciate it more completely.
iMore is a great site for apple news, and in the apple ecosystem, everything just works with one another.
I can't believe how easy Apple makes it to communicate with all our volunteers. They are a fantastic company and have raised the bar for all of us who desire devices and solutions that are seamless, easy and innovative! Imore is my everyday check for the latest in news and solutions! It's my go to place for any issues I have! Well done Rene and team!
A new iPhone would bring my apple trifecta new life. I love iOS and I love iMore.
My Apple products have kept me productive and entertained, and iMore has been my most trusted place for info. Thanks for the work, guys!
I love Apple for the hardware and iMore for the information on the Apple hardware. It is like an infinite loop of bliss.
I love apple because of their perfection at creating the simplest and greatest of products.
And iMore because of their quality articles and speed, not even a day something happens at apple and it is on iMore
I have never been an iPhone person until iMore made me fall in love. I am so excited for this new iPhone, and will be switching from a windows 8x to an iPhone as soon as I can afford it.
apple is my addiction and i keep up with everything apple thanks to imore.com ;)
I have been following iMore.com for all my iPhone needs for the last few years! Its my #1 site!
You know how parents say they love you to the moon and back, well we love iMore and Apple to MACS0647-JD (farthest known galaxy) and back
I love Apple products mostly for their quality and reliability. I can always count on them to work as they should and even when they do innovate and change things, everything makes sense and is easy to find - done in an intuitive and user friendly way. iMore has been my Apple/iPhone resource from the time it was TiPB and I got my first iPhone - the 3G. I've always looked to iMore for the latest iPhone and Apple news, the best apps and their reviews, and just recently their user-friendly repair guides. Thank you for being such a great comprehensive resource.
I know I'm going to get flamed for this but I love my BB10! (sorry iMore community)
Then why am I posting on the iMore contest page looking for a new iPhone 5S? I want to get it for my girlfriend as a surprise.
If Mobile Nations can stay in harmony, so can people with different phones. I would love to be able to get my girlfriend the best present I could think of (for her), and that's a brand new shiny iPhone. It's what makers her happy
Recently made the jump from Android...not looking back. Loving iOS.
iMore Team,
My journey following Apple news and products started with you guys. There truly is no better source of staying up to date on the latest and most crucial Apple information. Not only are the articles accurate, but they are intuitive, and eloquently spoken. My passion for Apple's products could not flourish without the almighty public service iMore provides to the world! On that note, all I can say is thank you. Thank you for what you guys do. May iMore and Apple live on forever.
Best regards,
I love Apple and love iMore. Hopefully I win!!!!
I think Apple is pretty sweet. People hate on them because they say Apple releases the same product every year. But that's just good business. Plus, their products are nice, either brand new or relatively the same.
I also like imore for reporting on all things Apple an iPhone.
iMore and Apple...great combo! Now hook me up with that 5S!
I am a tech freak! Apple is always on the forefront of innovation and iMore always helps me keep up the latest and greatest Apple has to offer. I can't afford to get one of the latest iPhone so if I could win one that would be awesome!!
stay in touch with apple from imore ^^
My iPhone is great! Much better than the Blackberry and Droid it replaced. That said, while Apple may have great products, they'd be NOTHING without IMore.com! ;)
I need a new iPhone!!!
Very interested to see what the new iPhone has to offer.
Apple changed the way I understand the world. iMore is the the way I see it.
I've loved Apple since the Apple II days, they are the best innovators in technology! As for iMore, I love it for keeping up with the latest news, reviews and rumors!
I love Apple because it is a very cool brand
I love iMore because is the best place where i can found information about Apple
I like the new features of the redesigned user interface: translucent, new icons look, changes on control center, airdrop, itunes radio,mail, messages, notification center, photos,safari,siri, weather,camera and multitasking a la PalmwebOS ;) and much more. I hope to win the contest, it would be my first iPhone :)
iMore, thanks for yet another great contest, and on my birthday too. You guys are great. Whenever I want to read up on anything Apple related, announcements or rumors, I come to iMore for the best information available.
I love the integration that Apple provides for all my devices at home or on the road, my stereo receiver, thermostat, lighting, etc, all can be controlled from my Apple devices. These are the best devices on the market, and I can't wait for iOS 7 to come out.
Great products, great design and from iMore reliable news!
Since owning the iPhone for a couple of years, I have grown to love Apple and all of their products! I have been slowly converting everything to Apple, but this would help me do so a little faster. Also, I love iMore!!! This has been my go-to site for all information Apple for several years now. You have the best staff and relay the information to readers like me better than anyone else out there. Thanks for the contest iMore!!!
Oh, how I love Apple and iMore, let me count the ways... I'm a tech junkie!!! Need I say more?! Thanks so much for the chance!!!!! ;D
Need this!!!
I love apple and iMore because they know what we want and need...
I have Apple everything. Their stuff works and works well together. iMore is always behind the "real" news, not just reporting "junk" like some others.
Apple is great is the best mobile phone and OS. I am looking forward to the iPhone 5S and iOS 7. I can't wait!
iMore is the best place to go for Apple news, commentary, and discussion. I love coming here.
Only way to stay updated on aapl and ios is on imore.com! iMore always stays on top with the most recent news and rumors, love the site.
I love apple because they are such an innovative and well thought out company. They consistently put out top quality products that I enjoy using. iMore is a great asset to the technology community. Back when you were TiPb was my first introduction. I love reading about all the iPhone news and being kept up to date by iMore. Keep up the good work!
Twitter notifications for iMore are key! I'm in it, to win it!
i hate apple but i love imore
Apple, yeah! iMore, yeah! Ra Ra, and all of that jazz.
iMore is my one stop shop for all my Apple Needs!!! I can't wait for the iphone 5s and hopefully iMore shares the love!!!
I must say... I resisted becoming an Apple fan for years. I resisted to the point where I had the Palm Pre when it first came out but quickly got on the iPhone bandwagon and have not looked back since! iPhone, iPad (original, now mini), iMac at the house... I'm ALL OVER my iOS products!
iMore is my portal for all things iOS... great reviews, great store, just... well, GREAT.
My iPhone 4S needs to go to pasture... plus, being the envy of all of my friends wouldn't be bad either.
Thanks for all you do, iMore... to be honest, I don't think there's any "iMore" I could ask for! Yeah... that was stupid but I couldn't resist!!!
My daughter would love to have a new phone she has the old 4s which is still an amazing phone but I could just picture her face if she won one
Apple is the new Wu-Tang! I really appreciate the quality of product and the app selection I get from these products. I really look forward to the information unveil in 30 minutes. I am praying for iOS7! Woo! Hopefully I win this competition too! Wu-Tang!
I'm just learning to love Apple after having a PC and Android for so long, but I really could not live without my ipad anymore. iMore has been great helping me with the learning curve and finding "the good stuff". Thanks for a well-organized site, useful blog, and of course, this contest. :-)
I love imore because of the accurate news the team provides to us daily, and I look forward to following their ventures for years to come! Apple has always been the love of my life. I hope I can eventually win something from Apple, especially the new iPhone.
a new iphone will make a great surprise gift for my wife. please let me win!
iMore Simple, Clean and up to date just like Apple :) Love this website.
I love imore because their my number 1 source for all my apple news and I love Apple because their devices are innovative and dependable while maintaining a beautiful design.
iLove Apple, iLove iPhone
I wake up everyday to iMore with my iPhone and listen to iTunes all day!!!!!
Apple is the best I have an iphone and iMac and they are great all the App Store is great and I'm team apple for life! Go apple!
I went from android to Apple. Apple's products are well made, work great and get updates
until the product is to old to handle the latest software. Not to mention the app store and
apps available. Plus everyone from a toddler to a very old person can easily use an Apple
When I was researching ipads and Apple, I came across a link for imore and have been
following ever since. It is a great site that always has the latest Apple news and content that has really helped me in learning how to use my ipad. Keep up the great work! I would love to have an iphone because I have never had one before.
I would love to be the winner of this contest!
Never owned a iPhone, but since I bought a Macbook pro last year, i decided that I wanted to try the Iphone 5s when it comes out, so I can try connect all my apps, and my daily college life together. My brothers always had Iphones and they always been teasing me because i would always have andriod so now i diceded I wanted to try something new.
I love Apple as much as I love iMore. I love Apple and iMore as much as I love my parents. Hahahaha!
I love Apple and iMore because the former has got me up at 3am to follow an event they're holding, and the latter is going to keep me covered as a live stream isn't looking likely yet.
Single Comment
Me me me! Love Apple and all their products! And I read imore every day!
I havn't had a phone for more than a week now just waiting for today in hopes that the old iphone will at least be discounted. Would be so great if I won a new 5s though!
My passion has been apple since iMore started wayyy back in 2007. I can't tell you how excited I get when there are product or software leaks, brought to the masses by you guys. Apple had my heart when I worked retail and training for them back in 2007-2009 but iMore kept me excited and going strong. Please whatever you do, don't stop what you are doing. You guys are doin such a fantastic job. Best of luck to whoever wins the iPhone gift card and I hope you guys know how awesome you are. I love the whole team.
I love Apple because of how simple and efficient everything works, I have an iPad and get all of my music and videos through iTunes, and iMore is great at keeping me up to date on all the Apple related gadget news & stories!
This will be more for my wife than me. She loves Apple so much more than me. She reads iMore everyday and if she reads this she might dislike me more. She loves how iMore keeps her up to date with all apple products, and your in depth analysis. Oh and did I mention she LOVES apple and her iPhone!!
I love apple and imore and will continue forever
I love Apple a ton! My family has a Mac and iPad but everybody other than me has an iPhone and I really want one badly for my birthday! I also love iMore for being so generous and offering so many contests; I can't thank you enough... Even if I don't win this contest,I hope you guys at iMore know that I deeply appreciate all your efforts.
I am looking forward to today's event and will be watching the iMore live stream. I'd also love to win a new iPhone 5S. But I'd be lying if I said I'm not disappointed that Apple still doesn't have a 4.5"-5" screen device.
OK, I've joined the cult. I'm back in school so I can get a job at Apple's flying saucer. My reality is distorted. I'm lining up to get a phone that's slightly different than my current one on the first day, wearing my iMore T-shirt from last year's event, reading the iMore forums on my iPad while waiting. And I'm dying from anxiety because the keynote starts in half an hour!
Love Apple; love iMore; love iPhones. That about sums it up.
I've used 3 mobile operating systems, Android, WP7, and iOS. I have to say that Apple makes the most elegant OS and easily has the best app ecosystem. This is why I love Apple. As a former WP7 user, I frequented Windows Phone Central, and since making the switch, I've been using iMore for all of my Apple news.
Imore is the best way to find out about everything Apple and I'm really looking forward to playing with ios7 on my iPod and iPad; would love to add an iPhone to the mix!
My first computer was a Mac Classic II with a color screen back in 1992 in seminary! I love Mac and Apple and will never leave. Keep up the awesome innovation. Enjoying iMore every day as well.

Hello ladies i have finally found the courage to write a post on here after many weeks of lurking . My name is yolanda and i came home on Jan 21 after being in the hospital for 2 weeks after i develop severe pre-e and hellp, It was the worst experience of my life and very scary. Baby and I are doing well now and very blessed that we made it and i almost feel normal with the exception of my vision.
After I woke from my emergency c-section to see my baby and a room full of family i notice my right eye was blurry and i was seeing double vision and big brown floaters in the room. I didn't know what was going on, I mention it and family and hubby were confused but no one really came in with answer. so i kept my eye closed for a few days and then i notice that the blurry and double vision went away as well as those huge brown floaters but my vision was still not the same. I couldn't watch the tv or the light was too bright but through out the days i was in the hospital i saw improvements, like i was able to tolerate watching tv and when i came home i was able to read my txt message on my phone and even be able to look at the computer screen and watch tv with out my eye straining or hurting.
Tomorrow will be 1 month since the horrific event and my vision is still not the same. my left eye is fine although i notice today i started seeing lil dots during the day if i go outside but if i cover my bad eye i notice the dots dont appear so im not sure if im seeing them from my left or right . As far as my right eye (the bad one) when i cover my good eye what i see is a bit blurry and and some objects appear further away, and if i look at my hubby face i feel like there is a brown cloud on the center of my vision but i can see through it but not clear but his face appears disoriented and smaller almost like those crazy mirros at the carnivals his forhead appears longer but eyes nose and face appear like they shrunk. if im looking at his face up close it looks normal but color is a bit off but nothing major. Now with both eyes open i see colors the same but the problem is that my vision feels like its not even its very hard to explain its not blurry with both open its just dosent feel even and it feels like i have something in my eye. Another weird thing is during the day if i go out i wear my shades my vision almost feels normal. I just dont get why that is. sometimes i feel my vision is imporving but then it feels like nothing has change. My blood pressure was 220 when i went in , my bp is normal now , not sure if that makes a difference.
My hubby constantly tells me to just give it time and that it will return to normal , and that i went through a lot (which i did) and not to worry about it. But im not sure he understand , i cannot imagine seeing like this forever. I feel like i m not myself due to this and sometimes always on the verge of tears I have schedule an appt with the ophthalmology next week to see what they say, Im really scare at what they will find but i really need answers , But in the mean time just wanted to see if any has had their vision similar to mine and did it return to normal? How long did it take ? Im really desperate for answers
Thanks in advance!

I didnt care to much for it. Running from point to point. Hearts, squares, red arrows, blue arrows and the randoms in between. Rinse, repeat for each zone. I agree with teh fast food, in/out metphor of the game, but I also believe they all are.

IMHO, a great game to play in the short term, to play as a "few month" theme park game. For me, it lacks longevity (being for me, a game I play for 6 months or more). Your mileage may vary, of course.
My take: Worth every penny, a fun theme park, but not a long term game. I will move on to PS2 or something else when it comes along. It should be noted I am a long time MMO vet going back to EQ in 99, and played many of them since then. I used to be hard core, but am now a very casual player (less than 10 hours a week). So, that's my take.

Your post is contradictory. You don't like the fact that GW2 lacks gear grind treadmill progression but are refusing to play classes because you don't like the looks? Mesmers aren't pink btw, all aremor is customizeable. You can make your mesmer look like a priate if you wanted.

And Mesmer skills are pink and that is not customizable. Also they have butterflies and stuff and for me that is quite effeminate and one of the reasons I could not play the class.

GW2 is not your home. It is theme park. You read about it, watch videos, listen marketing bullshit and buy ticket. After month or two you have visited in all roller coasters, saw all clowns and listened all jokes, then you group up with your "friends" and ride roller coaster with them until you realize that you don't really enjoy from ride anymore - you are only riding to chat with your friends. Eventually less and less your friends come to "enjoy" ride and only come to see you when park have a new amusement or clown have a new trick. Then you move neighbour city park that have a new big roller coaster. If you enjoyed on games like WoW, then there is big chance you will enjoy from GW2 - only difference is that thrill ride is bit more longer and cotton candy is bit more pink than red You don't build your cities or leave your mark to park - it is not your park - not your home.

To busy playing GW2 to post much around here... *shrug*

From all of the above I gather that you basically don't want your MMO to be a second job you come home to. Good news GW2 is not about raiding for hours on end until your eyes bleed. On the other hand some hardcore gamers will find that there isn't enough to strive for since there is no real gear threadmill. If you only play for about 20 hours a week, you're far from hardcore however.
Gear does play a part, but the gear you get from doing dungeons isn't fundamentally superior to the set you can craft or obtain from a karma or cultural set vendor. You can get your gear how you want. Nobody will be forcing you to be there on raid evenings or be left behind.
In PvP everyone is level 80 and has access to all the gear, sigils and runes for free. No need to suffer until you gather enough tokens to get your resilience up. Level playing field is the goal, though some builds will be more effective than others.
On the casters I can only say this: try all three. You might find mesmer too pink, but with all the different weapon combinations out there, it's entirely possible you'll be surprised by what class you actually like best.
You'll never be 100% sure GW2 will become your MMO home, but with what you've mentioned above, the odds should be quite good that you'll be happy you made the purchase.

Logic be damned!
Oh the "hardcore" debate in MMOs...
What is hardcore PvP? Full loot and/or perma-death? Or is it eSport skill based game play (as you can't buy/grind any advantage) so only the truly skilled propser?
What is hardcore PvE? Raiding?
I've been playing MMOs since UO circa 1999, and GW2 is the best MMO I have played since Vanilla WoW.
Well worth 60$, if you can't afford that - you shouldn't be gaming: honestly gaming (especially PC gaming) is an expensive hobby.
I've probably been lurking for way, way too long.

Gw2 is worth the ~ 100 hours it takes to get one character to 80, but IMO this is not a game that is deep enough to be your main MMORPG. It is a very shallow game, targeted for your average casual player.
The lack of CS, poor WvW implementation rampant bots, teleportation hacks - slow dev response, I have serious lack of drive to support Anet. Even their cash shop is badly designed - there is literally no reason to spend any RL cash you can convert in game gold to gems and buy everything you want.
I question Anets ability to support the game long term, as MMORPGs are living breathing projects that require constant development, tweaks, and new content - all that requires lots of money coming in.
Still fun game for what it is.

Forging the pact is still bugged after over a month. They try to fix it in every patch and it breaks again. It is really embarassing for a AAA title. I don't care for bots its the bugs that annoy me. All the bugs that were there at release are still present.

Personally, I would wait until the price drops to something reasonable and then try it for yourself. By that time, various bugs/glitches and other problems will hopefully be sorted, too.
I'm enjoying the game, but not as much as I hoped I would. For some reason I can't settle on any one class. I've been like this in every mmo I've played over the last 3 yrs or so and I take it to mean that I'm basically just burnt-out on the genre and need to have lots of alts I hope between in order to keep things feeling "fresh".
GW2 has a lot to commend it, though, so definitely give it a try if/when you can afford it.

Remember that in the 1800's pink was a man's colour and blue was for women. That is the dumbest reason I have heard of in a long time. You have this goofy idea about what a man is.
The mesmer name goes back to Franz Mesmer who's ideas led to hypnosis. The butterfly's come from The Butterfly effect from Chaos theory. It is the bending of one's mind and time to different effects. I think it is perfectly interesting and deep.
If you want a gear treadmill - to be UBER and stomp others, then this game IS NOT for you. No need to be insulting.

GW2 is very fun to go from LVL 1-80 in PVE, interesting to explore and play through. Dungeons are not fun enough or rewarding enough for the frsutrating difficulty. You die and die and die even when doing things right most times. In the end you gain little rewards. You don't fin some super rare cool looking item in this game pretty muich ever.
The PVP as a whole is pointless to me because I play DOTA 2 and FPS games. The PVP in GW2 is tryin to make you play that kind of thing(arena based pvp) but in an MMORPG. Its in a world apart from teh PVE world, both PVPs make you instant lvl 80 even if you are LVL 1 in the PVE game. Then you play to hold points that is all. You can't carry hardly anything you fight for over to the PVE world either.
I say buy the game and play it 1-80, it is good enough for the price. But it wil have no replayablility for me after I reach 80 unless they add a heck of a lot more to the PVP for me.

You have Cantha and Elona to deal with in expansions as well as other parts from Propheices they have not put in the game yet. If all you think you are going to get in GW2 was what was released at the beginning, you didn't play GW1 and understand how A.Net develops games.

With GW2, milage varies wildly. Many have found their home, Many have found it little more than a rest station on the highway. Either way, the vast majority will still tell you it was worth the boxed cost.
Personally, I was disappointed that for me, the game failed to live up to the hype....well, not really disappointed, I kinda expected it not to, knowing what I like and dislike in long term gaming. That said, I would still buy it again knowing what I know. I, along with 3 friends, all started playing at opening, we played a few nights a week for a few weeks and it was absolutely a blast. Sad to say, the game has fizzled out but even still, it was at least as much fun for at least as long as any other $60.00 game I've purchsed.

"Our senses enable us to perceive only a minute portion of the outside world."
As an mmo veteran I felt a little insulted at the overly simplified attitude of everything in Guild Wars 2. You have your hand held from the very beginning and it doesn't feel like I'm developing a character, only unlocking skills and costumes. Once you get the set of skills needed to play how you want there is no other reason to continue other than cosmetic upgrades.
The sPvP is fun for the first 5 or so matches but when you start working well with a team mate and they suddenly get placed on the other team it destroys the camaraderie.
WvW is an awesome concept but it falls flat due to severe lack of motivation. I don't really care about my server, bragging rights is not enough to keep me interested. There is no real reward, and there is no risk.
For me the bottom line for this game is a question in the title given to the game, much like the question I put forth to WoW fans which has never been answered (Where is the "war" in world of WARcraft?): Where can I find the fucking GUILD WARS?
Edit: Fixed a formatting bug.

as bangs for buck go, this is the best mmo bang for your buck out at the moment, and besides, you really can feel the love the devs put into it
that being said, it's still a bit rough at some edges and bland at some others, but... all the problems that do exist are blown way out of proportion on these here forums. yeah, you do wait for wvw... for 10-30 minutes at most. yeah, there are de's that are bugged... but the vast majority isn't. there might be some bots around but i haven't seen em yet. people are geting spoiled nowadays, it's amazing that a game with this much sheer content does not have much more things to gripe about. all in all, its very VERY far from all those buggy failures we've been subjected to since wow's release, and that makes all this negativity even more ridiculous. human psychology is a funny thing innit? once we get used to being disappointed and bitchin we'll fight tooth and nail for our right to remain miserable.
the thing is that a lot of peeps on mmorpg.com are grizzled veterans who don't see a mmo as a "game" but rather as a "second life" they can live in. well, GW2 is a game, first and foremost. if you dig it that way then it's awesome - by all counts. really, i didn't feel this cool playing a fantasy rpg on a PC since diablo 2. so many things to do and explore!!! if you play it as a game, you'll have a blast. on the other hand, if you're looking for a virtual place you'll get a "real" sense of accomplishment from, look elsewhere - EVE is that way. GW2 might be further developed into something with more "weight" but at the moment it is a light game, a "casual" one in the best possible way. difficult and challenging at times, but light nevertheless. personally i wouldn't have it any other way, although i wouldn't be adverse at giving it some more depth vis-a-vis long term motivation and stuff. maybe it'll happen later on in the game's life cycle, we'll see.

Training Report: Burling back on the pitch
Bobby Burling returned to the training pitch for the first time this week after injuring his foot in a 1-0 loss to Colorado on Saturday.
The 6-foot-5 central defender made it through the entire session on Thursday, but said he still felt pain in his injured foot. San Jose's coaching staff wouldn't commit to a line up for Saturday's match against Kansas City, but Burling could be available.
Omar Jasseh also made a return appearance to the Nutrilite Training Facility on Thursday. The explosive 17-year-old midfielder spent the last two weeks in Africa while representing his native Gambia at the Orange African Youth Championships. Jasseh helped the Young Scorpions advance by scoring a goal in a 4-1 aggregate result against Sierra Leone.
Tim Ward practiced with San Jose for the first time since being traded from Chicago last week. After flying straight from Chicago to Denver for the Quakes match against Colorado last weekend, Ward spent the last few days sorting out his move to California.
Ward was part of a group of apparent starters training together during a 9-on-9 scrimmage. Also in the mix were Jon Busch, Jason Hernandez, Brandon McDonald, Sam Cronin, Bobby Convey, Khari Stephenson, Arturo Alvarez and Chris Wondolowski.
Still, it's difficult to anticipate a definite first XI for Kansas City. Will Ryan Johnson slide back into the starting rotation after playing 78 minutes for Jamaica in a 3-1 win over Trinidad & Tobago on Wednesday? Does head coach Frank Yallop return to a traditional 4-4-2 or stick with the 4-1-4-1 San Jose employed last weekend? And where does Burling go if he's fit to play?
