Video Games – I haven't seen anything online saying if Walmart will have some in the store at midnight? I am thinking about heading out to Target early in the morning (an hour or two before it opens) to see if anyone is waiting in a line to get in to Target and then snag one there when they open. I know Best Buy and Circuit City will have lines. Will Toys r us?

Food – I was shown some awesome recipes from Ellie Krieger. One of her snacks for the day was maple glazed walnuts. The maple does a little extra and helps satisfy my extremely sweet teeth! Walnuts are also the only nut with the most amount of omega 3 fatty acids. These fats are essential for the body and most people need more of this type of fat.

Gadgets & Tech – Today I noticed Apple has just updated their online store very secretly to reflect the status of the 8GB and 16GB iPhone. They now are currently unavailable! We all know iPhone 2.0 is coming out very soon but no exact dates. I tried to get some info out of the lady from Apple's online chat, but nothing good came out of it!

Travel – Who knew a simple ad for the iPhone could be causing so much trouble for passengers and some pilots. The ad deals with a pilot who checks the weather on his iPhone during a delay and 30 minutes later he is released by dispatch since the weather has cleared up. There is a lot of other factors that must go into getting released by air traffic control
