Taken while climbing over the rockslide that occurred back in 2008 or 2009. I can't remember the exact date that we were told but the path was definitely blocked off. We just ignored the signs and walked through anyway. Definitely worth it.
The Future of the Androidography CommunityMarch 11, 2012
There's no doubt that iPhoneography is a full-blown "thing." There are countless blogs dedicated to the activity, endless amounts of accessories and apps like Instagram have taken it to a whole other level. I myself am considering switching to an iPhone after my contract is up with Verizon and the iPhone 5 is released. A lot of it has to do with the camera and apps, but mostly it has to deal with the overall eco-system that Apple has setup. It's unrivaled.
So what about Androidography? or Smartphoneography in general? I don't know. There really isn't much of a community, though maybe the Android release of Instagram will change that. The screenshot above is kind of telling about how little activity there is out there. In the past ~5 months I've managed to get on page 4 of Google for "Androidography" (page 8 on Yahoo!) without much overall effort, especially in terms of optimization.
I've started a few blogs in the past without much luck and abandoned them fairly quickly, this one however, seems to have caught on a little, mostly in the androidography realm. I'm getting 500+ visits a month and already have ~2,000 for the month of March which is pretty cool. I'm not really sure where things will go in the future, but it would be fun if I could help to form some sort of community for Android / Smartphone -ography in general.
So, for those of you that visit, what do you think? What kind of features would a site need to really help drive the community? I think some sort of reader-submission thing is needed for sure. Who knows, though, maybe Instagram (or some other app) will launch on Android in a month or so and this blog will become completely irrelevant in the overall "scene." Or maybe, I can make an impact…

Honestly, I just really like the way the colors and composition turned out on this one. If you look close enough you can see 3 guys fishing at the end of the dock and another pushing a stroller on the other side.

My Droid X finally kicked it and no longer starts up. It lasted 6+ months with a broken screen and whack battery though, so that's pretty good. In the meantime I got my self an OG Droid which has a much slower processor, weaker camera and crashes my applications all the time — but I still managed to grab this picture.
So now I'm looking to upgrade to something brand new hella soon here as there are a bunch of new phones coming out. Right now it's looking like I might wait until the iPhone 5 releases but there are a few Android devices I like, too.
Any suggestions?

This verse poses a problem for translators. Literally the MT reads something like:
Amos' logic would seem to require the two questions to suppose the answer "no" and to be ridiculous or unthinkable. The commonest solution reads "crags" as operating in the second line as well - a common form of ellipsis in Hebrew. However despite its popularity this will not work, as the picture (right, Clifford), taken near Tekoa, shows that one did indeed plow with oxen, and even plowed "rocks" (a common translation)!
Better to make a small emendation from בבקרים "with oxen" בבקר ים "the sea with an ox".

Who: No. 6 Cincinnati vs. No. 11 Kansas State
When: Friday, 4:37 p.m.
TV: truTV
Digital Access for only $0.99

Line: Cincinnati by 2
Three things to watch:
Head start: One bonus of being a First Four play-in entry is you get a head start to the tournament, and that's the case for Kansas State, which beat Wake Forest 95-88 on Tuesday in Dayton, Ohio. But the travel was immediate. The Wildcats – in the NCAA Tournament for the 21st time in 26 years – had to hustle to Sacramento to prepare for a rested Cincinnati team.
Evans excellence: Cincinnati guard Jacob Evans is a finalist for the Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year Award, so you know he can fire away. He has scored in double figures in 30 of 34 games and will be a focal point for Kansas State.
Defensive minded: Kansas State is 14-1 when holding opponents to 65 or fewer points, and Cincinnati averages 75. Kansas State has held 11 teams to 40 percent shooting or less during the season, so one can imagine the focus here.

Wisdom + Courage + AnointingIt was really an awesome Sunday. Ps Jeff preached about how members and leaders should relate to each other and each should play his or her own part. It talked about how members should respect and honor our leaders by taking care of them and their needs, whether financial or physical.
However, leaders are not being given the easy way out. They ought to do their best in teaching and doing God's work as well. Leaders who deal well with the affairs of the church ought to be honored doubly.
I think this is really a lack in the church right now and I am convicted, not because I am a leader but because the Bible says so. Many a times, as a leader, there are burdens that you have to carry through. But seldom will there be anyone who will really understand what a leader has to face. Leaders should build strong biblical friendships among themselves. In this way, the church will grow in quality, when the net is strong.
Ps Jeff prayed for all the leaders during altar call. It was seriously amazing and ministering... He prayed this for us, "Wisdom, Courage and Anointing". Wow.. I needed tt badly! isn't it true that I need so much more wisdom, courage and anointing to lead God's pple? It is not easy to lead, especially when some children are pretty spoilt... hahaha...
Widom + Courage + Anointing = Outreach + Discipleship

Laser machining technology uses high strength laser beam of differing sizes for a range of applications such as slotting, cutting as well as producing openings. It can be made use of in construction of various kinds of materials such as steels, plastics, plastic, glass, marble as well as graphite. Other products that could be used laser machining include nylon, porcelains, carbon fiber, composites, soft rubber, as well as slim steel aluminum foils. Laser machining systems are made use of integrated with computer numeric control CNC, that makes it perfect for use with thin walled tubes, boasting beam sizes to.0005′. In this procedure, the machining motorist makes use of computer systems to handle tools devices for manufacturing center and also complicated parts in steel and other materials.
A laser machining procedure requires taking advantage of criterion in addition to fiber optic light beam delivery systems, which allow accuracy placing while cutting metal or numerous other products. It is utilized to reduce burr free parts that are needed in a range of markets such as aerospace, auto, distribution, along with others. The procedure is promptly, reliable as well as might be repeated any type of selection of times relying on making amounts. It is made use of to generate grooves that are minimized to a particular deepness with one pass of a laser light beam without cutting any type of type of product from the task thing. Laser machining is taken advantage of for producing a knurled or roughened surface on difficult items such as steels and also prone products such as porcelains in addition to glass. The innovation is also made use of for marking product surface areas.
At the same time a high toughness laser beam of light is taken a trip through a pattern of a mirror and right into the place of the product or work piece that is being marked. Research is underway to develop innovative دستگاه لیزر machining approaches that will certainly enable the manufacturing of tiny gizmos for usage in clinical industry. This will help in combating hazardous illness such as cancer cells in the future. The laser pulse eliminates coatings, cleans up steel area as well as prepares the surface for further paint jobs. Although, it might set you back a great deal on capital expense, yet it is below any kind of kind of standard technique that is being made use of for similar functions in the industry.


text: SOUTH BEND -- Prosecutor Michael Dvorak will suspend two key employees for failing to follow proper procedures in a contract dispute involving a local restaurant. Joseph F. Nagy, chief financial officer, and Tim Corbett, commander of the County/Metro Homicide Unit, each will serve a one-day suspension from their jobs, Dvorak said Wednesday. The case started when local businessman Robert Urbanski called Nagy, a close friend, to ask whether the prosecutor's office would consider filing charges against a contractor involved in remodeling a downtown building. Urbanski had fired Mark Price, and they had a dispute about ownership of building materials. Urbanski accused Price of stealing the items, a charge Price denied. Nagy apparently talked to Corbett, who decided to pay the contractor a visit. Corbett, according to Price, encouraged him to return the disputed items. The question was whether Nagy or Corbett had the authority to intervene in what might be a civil dispute. "In our review,'' Dvorak said in a written statement, "we concluded that this matter was not handled in accordance with office policies.'' Investigators in the prosecutor's office sometimes intervene in disputes to urge a settlement and avoid filing criminal charges, Dvorak said. "However,'' he said, "the procedure is to have the matter reviewed by a deputy prosecutor to evaluate whether intervention is appropriate.'' If it is purely a civil matter, he continued, the prosecutor does not become involved. If it might be a criminal matter, Dvorak said, his office might intervene to help the parties reach a solution without the need for criminal charges. "This request," Dvorak said, "was never reviewed by a deputy prosecuting attorney, and, in fact, was never submitted for an opinion.'' The prosecutor said he has reviewed and ratified office policies regarding the appropriate response to requests for his office to intervene. "We have discussed this matter thoroughly with the employees involved,'' he said, "and taken what we consider appropriate action to enforce our policies.'' Dvorak described the one-day suspensions as a severe punishment and noted that Nagy and Corbett have had unblemished records before this incident. Dvorak said he is not sure when the suspensions will be served. He also was unable Wednesday to say what their loss of pay would be. Neither Nagy nor Corbett could be reached for comment, and they did not respond late Wednesday afternoon to messages left on their answering machines. Staff writer Nancy J.

Iowa Coach Todd Lickliter brought in his players Christmas night, five days after the team was shredded by Drake 60-43.
It was an abomination for Iowa. They were out-rebounded, out-hustled and blown apart in every area. It was the kind of game that sent Lickliter back to square one in preparing his team for the Big Ten.
"We really got a wake-up call at Drake," Lickliter said. "They control that game form start to finish. They exposed some real deficiencies."
At the team's final practice session before breaking for the holidays, Lickliter gave the team some thoughts to focus upon following the loss. He wanted the team to recover, relax, reflect and evaulate while enjoying the small break. But he won't "relent" in his approach to practice and his system, either.
"I thought going in to the last game we covered the things we need to cover, but I didn't think our approach was where it needed to be," Lickliter said. "What we tried to do is refocus on the aspects of our system and our approach in what we think we can make us more successful."
Iowa hosts Western Illinois in its final non-conference game Saturday night. The Hawkeyes then open Big Ten play Wednesday at Ohio State.

Holiday Activity - for the three girls.
And it did keep them busy. Then they tipped them from one container to another and watched them bounce on the table and the floor. It did the job. Kept them amused.
With the older sister in charge of the glue stick for miss 2, all three girls completed their initial, for an extra bit of colour for their rooms

Are you looking for solid returns with low risk in your portfolio this year? Of course you are. And investment pros have just the thing for you: dividend-paying stocks.
Dividend growth, estimated by FactSet at 10.5 percent for the S&P 500 for 2014, is expected to be slightly less robust in the coming year, at 8 percent, according to John Butters, senior earnings analyst. Still, there are sectors and stocks that fund managers expect to shine, generating double-digit total returns thanks in large part to their dividends.
"Companies in the U.S. still have very good balance sheets and good cash generation, and dividend payouts are still below the average of the past 50 years," said Brian Hennessey, portfolio manager of Alpine's Dynamic Dividend Fund, who is among those anticipating dividend growth in the high single digits.

May I present to you… my latest finish! After making this quilt, I really wanted more on-point fun, so I made this one! It's amazing how cool such a simple pattern can look! I have to remember that more often…it doesn't have to be super difficult to be cool!
This was the first quilt I got to quilt on my new machine, and it was HEAVENLY! Rory has a stitch regulator for free motion quilting, so all of my stitches are nice and pretty instead of uneven! To celebrate, I quilted meandering flowers all over. Amazing!
So, of course the top was a few inches too big to fit a width of fabric….As I pondered how to fix that predicament, I thought about the front. What is it? A bunch of X's! So what did the back need? A big O! Then the quilt wraps you in a big hug! I felt clever :)
Anyways, this one finished up at 46"x46", and is now in the shop!
Oh and guess what? I am diversifying a bit! There is an item in the shop now that is NOT a quilt! And since it happens to go with this quilt, This is a fantastic time to share!
I have started listing sets of matching burp cloths! So head on over a check it out :)
