Twitter iOS Application Redux

This is an enhanced version of the iOS iPhone Twitter Client made previously. In addition to the timeline view, a profile view has been added that contains a profile header along with tweet, following, and follower counts. Also added is a mentions view. A slide out menu (hamburger menu) has been added to switch between these main views. In the profile view, paging has been implemented to view the account description. Scaling and parallax have been implemented within the header view on pull down and scrolling. Tapping on a user's profile image loads the profile view for that user. When long-pressing the title bar or pulling down the profile screen, an account screen can be brought up to switch to another account, remove stored accounts, or authenticate with a new account.
