Nice one :) I like it !
Do you do android cases?
my guess would be no android cases simply because of the amount of different styles and sizes of phones and how often new ones come out. for a specific phone size, apple holds the largest marketshare by far, even if operating system wise, android has passed it up, with samsung, nokia and pretty much every cell phone company besides apple using android and each one having a different phone you would have better luck asking for permission to use his artwork and going somewhere else to get it made.
Nice work!
so cute
good job :D
good job :D
Is there a case for iphone 5 c's??

Are you able to see the numbers on the clock?

The best Mexican food in Wenatchee! Their cabbage salsa is fabulous! Great service, great prices! I have enjoyed everything I have ordered! The bacon wrapped shrimp is so good as well as the seafood burrito but really, everything is excellent.
We enjoyed eating here. The food is above average and reasonably priced. The service is friendly. Nothing exceptional or gourmet, just good Mexican- American favorites.
Recently tried this restaurant while visiting Wenatchee and to my surprise it was some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. I tried the chicken verde enchilada with rice and beans. It was amazing. The portion was big and was full of great tasting chicken. The sauce was amazing. You couldn't complain about not having enough jack cheese melted...
Reading reviews helped us pick this restaurant. Very good food. I'd never had pico with shredded cabbage, that was good stuff
We are in the area jet skiing at Chelan and Entiat and wanted to find some good mexican food. All the reviews said this place was top notch, and they are absolutely true.
Our party of 10 were seated in about 10-15 mins, the service was incredibly prompt and personable and the food came out incredibly fast. The taste... oh...
I really like the atmosphere there. The staff are very friendly and the food is delicious. If you like Carne Asada, it is among the best in town.
We ate lunch here with friends and had 3 different menu items and all were delicious and there was a ton of food...endless chips and salsa and a small bowl of some kind of spicy cabbage slaw served with the chips and salsa that was yummy. They were very accommodating to my husband's food allergies and even brought out the...
Came here for dinner. Was served very quickly. The staff worked like a team with anyone who passed by checking on us to be sure we had water and salsa. Food was fantastic and it came hot! Never had salsa as good as theirs. Portions were huge and we left with enough for lunch and snack tomorrow. Can't rave enough...
Who knew that some of the best Mexican food anywhere can be had in Wenatchee, and at La Fuente in particular. We've eaten there every time through Wenatchee, since 1997... and that's a lot! BTW: it's still very good!
I decided to try their special, which was Pollo a la Crema, essentially chicken in a cream sauce. Very tasty dish, and when I ran out of tortillas, their attentive waitress promptly got me some more. They don't just serve salsa with their chips, either, they include pico de gallo, and it is very good. Their Cadillac margarita is excellent.

Ecological research and the way that ecologists use statistics continues to change rapidly. This second edition of the best-selling Design and Analysis of Ecological Experiments leads these trends with an update of this now-standard reference book, with a discussion of the latest developments in experimental ecology and statistical practice.
The goal of this volume is to encourage the correct use of some of the more well known statistical techniques and to make some of the less well known but potentially very useful techniques available. Chapters from the first edition have been substantially revised and new chapters have been added. Readers are introduced to statistical techniques that may be unfamiliar to many ecologists, including power analysis, logistic regression, randomization tests and empirical Bayesian analysis. In addition, a strong foundation is laid in more established statistical techniques in ecology including exploratory data analysis, spatial statistics, path analysis and meta-analysis. Each technique is presented in the context of resolving an ecological issue. Anyone from graduate students to established research ecologists will find a great deal of new practical and useful information in this current edition.

Man in custody after NYPD cop's teeth broken in assault
The officer, and her partner, tried to arrest several people for smoking marijuana in East Harlem on Sunday
By Alison Fox
NEW YORK — A 26-year-old man was arrested Monday for allegedly punching a female NYPD officer and breaking her teeth Sunday, police said.
The officer, and her partner, tried to arrest several people for smoking marijuana in East Harlem on Sunday while on patrol, police said.
John Pica, who lives in the housing complex, was charged with assaulting the officer, police said.
The officers allegedly saw Pica with two other men and a woman smoking by the rear entrance to the first floor of the Governor DeWitt Clinton Houses near 109th Street at about 1:30 a.m. They tried to arrest all four, but Pica allegedly turned around and struck the female officer, whose name was not released. She fell to the ground and hit her head, police said.
Pica then allegedly fled with the other three suspects police said.
The officer was hospitalized with head pain, broken teeth and cuts and bruises.

Corsair vengeance K60 review -
A short while ago Corsair dazed us a little by once again launching new products in their product line-up. Honestly, we didn't see it coming ... Vengeance Gaming series keyboards and mice.
Corsair wouldn't be Corsair if they didn't do something special though, products that break away from the regular stuff. Aimed at the gamers, they launched amongst others, the Vengeance K60 keyboard. It's in fact the keyboard on which I type this article.
So Corsair decided to release the Vengeance K60 keyboard, a K90 keyboard as well as an M60 laser mouse (which we'll review later). With the K60 keyboard - targeted at gamers - they started developing a product to suit your needs. This keyboard comes with a 1 ms report rate, a 20-key rollover, USB connectivity, anti-ghosting and Cherry MX Red mechanical key switches.
Corsair steps it up a notch though, to make you as a gamer a little more comfortable, the WASD key caps are textured and a contoured left-wrist rest provides comfort during extended gaming sessions. The keyboard has a top layer with an aluminum cover, is nice and heavy so it won't move on your desktop and comes with thick braided black cable, and actually two USB connectors (we'll explain later).
Now all that being a mechanical keyboard targeted at a price of 90 EUR, well that's not sounding bad for sure. Hey, it's hardware for gamers, so let's check it out. Head on over to the next page where we'll have a good look at what Corsair is offering. But not before you had a quick peek of course.
We review the new Corsair Gaming VOID RGB wireless headset. The Dolby certified VOID is the successor model to the Vengeance series and works through a USB transmitter on the 2.4 GHz Wireless band.

As enterprises capture more and more data of all types – structured, semi-structured, and unstructured – data discovery requirements for business intelligence (BI), Big Data, and predictive analytics initiatives grow more complex. A company's ability to become data-driven and compete on analytics depends on the speed with which it can provision their analytics applications with all relevant information. The task of finding data has traditionally resided with IT, but now organizations increasingly turn towards data source discovery tools to find the right data, in context, for business users, d...

Hurricane Sandy made a huge impact on land so you can imagine it was even more brutal out to sea. No ship would want to get caught by a superstorm. Well, no ship except very few like the Wave Glider, a robot seafaring ship that is designed to monitor weather and ocean conditions while making use of wave energy to move around.
One Wave Glider got caught by Hurricane Sandy but made it through unharmed.
This robot is called Mercury and was caught by the worst of the storm 100 miles (160 km) out to sea off the coast of New Jersey. It weathered winds of up to 81 mph (130 km/h).
"Mercury now joins the fleet of other Wave Gliders that have come through Category I hurricanes to successfully fulfill their missions," Dr. Edward Lu, chief of innovative applications for Liquid Robotics, said.
"This is a testament to our robust and reliable technology and proof of its readiness for severe weather data collection," he added.
Ed Lu is a former NASA astronaut who spent several months aboard the ISS. He worked for Google for a while before joining Liquid Robotics, the company behind the Wave Glider robots.
Wave Glider is designed to monitor all sorts of conditions and relay back data in real-time for years at a time, with no outside input or need for maintenance.
It can stay autonomous for so long since it uses wave energy to move and solar panels to power the electronics.
It's made up of a floating platform (Float) that contains the solar cells, antennas and some instruments, and a submerged portion (Sub) that is tethered to the floating component by a 20-feet (6-meter) cable.
Waves lift the Float as they rise and pull the Sub upwards. Wings on the Sub turn upwards creating lift and a forward and up motion. The same process is repeated after the wave passes and the Sub goes down.

New London - The Board of Ethics is scheduled to meet tonight to set a public hearing date on allegations by Police Chief Margaret Ackley that City Councilor Michael Buscetto III violated the city's Code of Ethics.
The board announced over the weekend that it has found probable cause to investigate Ackley's complaint.
Board Chairman K. Robert Lewis said in a press release that the board had voted 6-1 to find that probable cause exists that Buscetto violated the city's Code of Ethics.
Ackley filed a formal complaint against Buscetto following closed-door meetings of the City Council in which her retirement contract was discussed. She asked at the time that Buscetto recuse himself from the closed discussion because she alleged that Buscetto had interfered with her management of the police department.
Ackley also has said she may sue the city over Buscetto's conduct. In a letter to the Board of Ethics, Buscetto maintained that Ackley gave no explanation for why he should recuse himself and that he had no financial or personal interest in the matter.
The hearing will be conducted much like a court case, according to Lewis. Both sides will be able to present witnesses.
"I fully expected this. I actually requested that everything be made public," Buscetto said Sunday. "Now I will have the opportunity for the first time for people to hear my side of the story."
In his letter to the Board of Ethics, Buscetto also argued that he had the right to defend the allegations against him. He also said he did not have the opportunity to vote on Ackley's retirement contract.
Ackley signed a retirement agreement in April with the city manager and said Buscetto was causing her "ongoing distress" by meddling in police affairs. In a letter to the city attorney, Thomas Londregan, Ackley's lawyer, Shelley Graves, said her client had a basis for a lawsuit based on gender discrimination and harassment.
Ackley did not respond Sunday to an email request for comment. According to a news release from the board Saturday, Ackley and Buscetto had 14 days to reach a settlement on the matter but failed to do so by the Thursday deadline. A hearing must now be scheduled within the next 90 days.
When it meets tonight at 7 at the New London Public Library, the board is scheduled to discuss the hearing procedure and choose a date and location.
"Everything is transparent and the hearings will be public," Lewis said. "It's our desire to have them in the Council chambers so that it can be taped and televised. If people have an interest, they should be able to see what's going on."

Defense Infrastructure:
Issues Related to the Renovation of General and Flag Officer Quarters
GAO-04-555: Published: May 17, 2004. Publicly Released: May 17, 2004.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Recent cost increases in renovation projects to general and flag officer quarters raised questions about the services' management of the programs. GAO was asked to determine (1) how actual costs of renovation projects for general and flag officer housing compare to service budget estimates provided to Congress and (2) the primary reasons for any increases and the services' procedures to control cost increases. Additionally, GAO is presenting observations about the services' accountability over gifts provided to help renovate some general and flag officer quarters and the extent to which Department of Defense (DOD) guidance provides visibility and control over costs associated with renovation projects for privatized general and flag officer quarters.
With few exceptions, the services' reported costs for renovation projects for general and flag officer quarters were generally consistent with budget estimates provided to Congress. For fiscal years 1999 to 2003, GAO found that 184, or 93 percent, of the 197 renovation projects over $100,000 cost less than or the same as budget estimates. While the remaining 13 projects--6 Navy and 7 Marine Corps--exceeded cost estimates, 5 Marine Corps projects exceeded their budgets by more than 10 percent. Customer-requested changes and unforeseen repairs were the main reasons for cost increases to renovation projects. For 5 of the 7 projects that exceeded their budgets by over 10 percent, about 45 percent of the increased costs was for customer-driven changes, 53 percent for unforeseen repairs, and 2 percent could not be determined. Though the services have guidance to limit customer-requested changes, the Marine Corps approved many such changes that contributed to project costs exceeding budgets. Customer requests included upgraded kitchen and bathroom renovations or initially unplanned work. Unforeseen repairs, such as for termite damage or unexpected historic preservation requirements, occurred because problems were not identified in the inspections on which the estimates were based. Military services did not properly account for gifts used for general officer quarters in two instances, one involving renovation costs. In that instance, the Marine Corps did not comply with existing regulations to properly accept and account for all gifts used to renovate the Home of the Commandants. The Friends of the Home of the Commandants told GAO it provided about $765,500 in nonmonetary materials and services (e.g., furnishings and construction labor). However, the Marine Corps could list nonmonetary gifts totaling only $492,413 because it did not follow specified gift acceptance and accounting procedures. Navy General Gift Fund records show receipt of an additional $88,300 in monetary gifts from the Friends of the Home of the Commandants. The Marine Corps has receipts for monetary expenditures, but not property records for items purchased with the gift funds. The Navy and Army also accepted gifts to furnish general and flag officer homes. Of those, the Navy did not properly accept and account for about $3,970 in nonmonetary gifts. DOD and the military services could lose visibility over housing renovation costs for privatized general and flag officer homes. DOD does not require review of renovation costs for these quarters, such as costs over $35,000, as required for government-owned quarters. The Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force are developing guidance to increase visibility and accountability over the spending for these quarters, but the draft guidance is not consistent. Although the services have privatized only 65 of their 784 general and flag officer quarters, they plan to privatize 426 or 54 percent by fiscal year 2008.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In November 2005, the Navy implemented new guidance concerning policies and approval authority for operation, maintenance, repair, and improvement of public quarters assigned to general and flag officers. The guidance stated that all changes, except scope of work changes needed for life/safety or preserving structural integrity, must be endorsed through the chain of command and will not be accomplished without prior approval of the Chief of Naval operations or the Commandant of the Marine Corps.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should direct the Secretary of the Navy to reemphasize the importance of limiting customer-driven changes to renovation projects for general and flag officer housing.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: According to DOD documentation, housing privatization projects are monitored to protect government interests, including expenditure levels on individual units. The real control on spending is the project cash flows themselves as monitored by the private sector development entity that owns the housing. DOD will rely on private sector mechanisms to control costs but will review standardization of individual unit expenditure levels on a programmatic basis. GAO reported that such action, to the extent it incorporates general and flag officer housing, meets the intent of our recommendation.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should direct the Under Secretary for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to ensure the standardization and periodic review of the expenditure levels for individual privatized units on a programmatic basis, to include general and flag officer quarters, with periodic reports to the office of the Secretary of Defense.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In November 2005, the Navy issued new guidance concerning the acceptance and control of gifts in conjunction with general and flag officers' quarters. The guidance requires the Navy and Marine Corps to provide an annual report showing the monetary gifts and the estimated dollar value of all non-monetary gifts.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should direct the Secretary of the Navy to properly account for all gifts accepted and used to help renovate the Home of Commandants of the Marine Corps.
