Apple's online store is down.

As expected, Apple has taken its online store down to update the marketplace with all of the goodies it plans to show off today at the Worldwide Developers Conference.
When Web users head over to Apple’s online store, they’ll come to a page saying the marketplace will “be back.” Apple says that it’s “updating the Apple Store for you and will be back soon.” although the message hasn’t changed from previous notices, it’s worth noting that the design of the page is different than its predecessors. when Apple previously took its store down, a yellow post-it note was usually displayed.
Apple typically takes its online store down hours before keynote addresses. Today’s keynote address at the Worldwide Developers Conference is slated to kick off at 10 a.m. PT. Apple has said that iOS and OS X will be on the docket, but according to rumors, a new line of MacBooks might also be shown off during the event. Rumors are mixed over whether the iPhone 5 might make a showing.
As always, CNET will be covering all of the news coming out of WWDC, so be sure to check back a bit later to follow all of the excitement.

check out the blog, here.
Personally, I have never been asked the following questions, but it has come to my attention that many people desire to know the inside truth about Interracial Relationships. Here it is folks! the answers you have been waiting for! (Make sure you read the ENTIRE blog for the common theme).
10. QUESTION: “Wow! you must really like purple!!! Soooo cooool…have you always dated purples?”
ANSWER: Uh, no. Wait…Hold on? He’s purple?? it never crossed my mind. I mean seriously….he’s purple????
BOTTOM LINE: Just because a person dates or marries outside of their race DOES NOT mean they are only attracted to that particular race. Sometimes you just happen to meet someone you connect with who happens to be….well purple. Do not be fooled. there are PLENTY of people who are racist within an interracial relationship. never assume that a person loves every purple person, just because they have a purple partner.
***( IS THERE REALLY PURPLE IN THIS BLOG??).
9. QUESTION: “it must be strange hanging out in public with a purple?”
ANSWER: really?? I never noticed he was purple…until you mentioned it. Is that strange????
****(I MUST BE MISSING SOMETHING….APPARENTLY…PURPLE???)
8. QUESTION: “Aren’t people really mean to you guys?” PURPLE??
ANSWER: People can be cruel….but not to me. maybe when I was in school. I demand respect now….I do not care if people like me, as long as they respect me. if you do not like purple…than go hang out with a blue.
****(STOP LYING FOLKS….THERE IS NO PURPLE IN THIS!!!! RIGHT??)
7. QUESTION: ” how do your neighbors treat you?”
ANSWER: my neighbors are annoying…always too friendly….I usually have to run because I do not enjoy socializing.
****(I DID NOT REALIZE MY NEIGHBORS WERE THINKING ABOUT PURPLE….TOTALLY CONFUSED NOW….WHO OR WHAT IS PURPLE??)
6. QUESTION: “Your children are going to have such a hard time. Aren’t they?”
ANSWER: did you have a hard time in school? Kids in general can be cruel. there are plenty of children that come from non purple and red families that are bullied much worse. most of the time bullying has nothing to do with purple/red….it is all the luck of the draw.
****(I STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT….CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE THEY SEE PURPLE ON MY BLOG??)
5. QUESTION: “like, if a purple and a red have children, which box would they have to check? Isn’t that confusing?????
ANSWER: Ummm…..wait a minute let me think…..RED!!!!!!!!! ONE DROP RULE…..Look it up. it does not have to make sense….just accept it.
****( OHHHH….I GET IT! PURPLE IS a NEW TELEVISION STATION!!! OR THAT HIT MOVIE…THE COLOR PURPLE????)
4. QUESTION: What is it like being in a relationship with a purple?
ANSWER: What???? I am in a relationship with someone purple?
****(I MUST BE COLORBLIND????)
3. QUESTION: “where did you meet ……??? Purple?”
ANSWER: Purple has a name….and I do not believe his name is Purple…..Respect it….
****(OK FOLKS…I AM MUST OFFICIALLY BE GOING BLIND!!! WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE IS THE PURPLE!!!!!!!!!?????)
2. QUESTION: “how did your families react to this Purple Red thing?”
Interesting Stats….ANSWER: my side of the family did not really care but I never cared if they did. the purple side….well….let’s just put it this way….I still never cared. I chose who I wanted in this world. it was their job to respect my decisions. if not….OH WELL….YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LIKE ME, BUT I DEMAND RESPECT…..NOT AN OPTION….SINCE I GIVE RESPECT I SHOULD GET IT BACK. PERIOD. (If you allow your family to control your decisions, the control will not stop there. there is no reason for people to believe that everyone should like each other within a family….it is impossible. Just respect one another. if they love you, they will get over it, if not…well, honestly….with family like that, there will always be threats/control for your ENTIRE life).
****( OKAY! SOMEONE HAS GOT TO TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT!!! I MUST BE MISSING SOMETHING…MAYBE MY COMPUTER SCREEN IS PLAYING TRICKS ON ME BECAUSE I DO NOT SEE ANY PURPLE IN THIS BLOG!!!!!! ALL I SEE IS WRITING…..BUT PURPLE?????)
1. QUESTION: What is it like being in a relationship with a purple? Do racial slurs happen?? OMG!!!
ANSWER: definitely!!!! we crack jokes all the time about purple, red and blue….Why???
BECAUSE I FORGOT HE WAS PURPLE, AND FOR SOME REASON HE CAN NEVER REMEMBER THAT I AM RED…..
“Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. the LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7).”
Bloggers Note: did you notice the common PURPLE THEME? IF THE ONLY THING THAT STOOD OUT TO YOU WAS THE PURPLE IN THIS BLOG…THEN MAYBE YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE WAY YOU VIEW THE WORLD. AT THE END OF THE DAY, PURPLE WILL ALWAYS APPEAR PURPLE. AND IF I CHANGED THESE WORDS FROM PURPLE TO RED, I GUARANTEE YOU, IT WILL STILL MEAN THE SAME THING. IT WILL JUST BE ANOTHER COLOR…..RIGHT?

Please forward to people who do not like the color red or purple.…I will be forwarding this to myself because my favorite color is actually PINK…..

And since this blog is as much mine as it is yours, I figured I should at least do something I’ve asked you to do: Share weight loss before and after photos.
It’s one thing to take a before-and-after photo to keep tucked away in your sock drawer as a tool to motivate you to make sure you never fit into a size 16 again. but, it’s entirely another to share that same photo with all of the Web.
But here I go. So there I am. Above. my before and *almost* after (I still have 15 pounds to go until my goal weight.)
I’m by no means done. becoming fit and healthy does not stop for me when I reach a certain number on the scale. after running my first 5k, I actually feel like my journey has just begun.
This is just to show you that I’m a normal person like you. Working as hard as I can to become the healthiest, fittest version of myself that I can in a slow, steady, and healthy way.
I haven’t used any fad or crash diets. As I’ve written before, I simply changed my eating habits, started exercising more, and have made small lifestyle changes that have somehow added up over time. (If you want to see what tools I have used on a daily basis, you can check out that post here.)
Now that I’ve shared my before-and-(almost)-after, I want to see yours. It doesn’t matter if you’re not done yet, or if you think you can’t visibly see a change. You’re making an effort, and ultimately, in my book, that effort over time is what really counts.
Submit your weight-loss before-and-after photos here. You can even upload a “before” and upload an “after” sometime later.
