Cool Stuff: Lifeproof iPad Mini Case

Lifeproof is the proven ultimate cell phone & tablet case. A recent Cool Stuff column attested to that.
 
Two updates for you since then. Firstly my daughter who had two iPhones stolen at Kaiser High School, and one water damaged, had her iPhone 4S run over by a car... and it and the case survived!
 
I will note that she was not holding onto it at the time. This is a true testament why everyone in my household has a Lifeproof case.

Manua's 2005 Super Cyclone Olaf still haunts me. It was the triple crown of destruction for Faleasao Village, on the coast near the wharf, as they were impacted by huge winds, huge waves, and a landslide from above.

When Agriculture Director Melila Purcell was a Laie, BYU-Hawaii student, bet he used the “Autograph Tree” to leave cute messages to Moana. Way too cute for me to visualize that sappy stuff, especially since they are way too cute grandparents, with way too cute kids, and have disgustingly cute grandchildren.
 
Well Melila & Moana, I own my very own personal "Autograph Tree" in my backyard, and I have a way too cute "Cool Stuff" goodie that actually consumes parts of your sappy tree.
 



Malamalama aga o le kanesa: You and your colon

Here's a fun fact: more than 400 types of bacteria totaling two to four pounds live in your colon. The colon is an organ about six feet long and could be considered the "plumbing system" for the human body. The processing of the food you eat begins in the stomach where enzymes unlock the nutrients in food, breaking down the proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

Samoa News sent me to cover the emotional battle over 2nd Amendment Rights at the firearm's industry's Shot Show and of course I end up gravitating toward fia ai utensels and hanging out with Ted Nugent.

The CRKT Eat N' Tool ($7.99) and the XL version ($14.99) are terrific for its "spork" eating capabilities, its screw driver, its nut tightening psuedo wrench, its bottle opener, can opener on the XL and a few secret functions I will gladly share over my second tall brown bottle of Vailima, that you, a Coolio, will shout me at the Tradewind's Bar.

MICHAEL FIELD, Stuff New Zealand

Cyclone Evan has wrecked homes, brought down trees and caused flooding across Fiji's main island.

The biggest cyclone in 20 years to hit the Pacific island nation is believed to have been destroyed a number of homes in Fiji’s second largest city, Lautoka, in western Viti Levu.

Tonight power was cut and land and mobile phone lines went down, but before they were lost, there were reports of major damage.

On the northern coast of Viti Levu, flood waters hit Ba, Raikiraki and Tavua.

Kia Orana kotou katoatoa.

Born and raised on the island of Mangaia, the oldest and most southern island in the Cook Islands, I am the baby of the family of four children.

My loving parents taught me the value of discipline and the importance of holding on to, and being proud of, my home and my culture. Being school teachers they have instilled in me the importance of a good education. I am indeed fortunate to have a wonderful sister who adores her baby sister and two very protective big brothers.
