UILabels in the custom UITableViewCell (THEntryCell) are nil

No errors/exceptions at compile/runtime.

Verified that the IBOutlets are properly wired/named in the IB/Storyboard.

And after some debugging, I see that all the UILabel's created in the custom cell are empty, and the RootViewController is just blank with nothing displayed.

From below, there are values for entry.body but self.bodyLabel?.text is nil

func configureCellForEntry(entry :DiaryEntry){

        println("EntryCell - configureCellForEntry");

        self.bodyLabel?.text = entry.body;
        println("entry.body \(entry.body)");
        println("self.bodyLabel?.text \(self.bodyLabel?.text)");

The code can be found here, https://github.com/kulfy/Diary
