Buck From 2004.

I shot this buck during the shotgun season of 04. I wasn't planning to get this one mounted but my dad wanted it to decorate his wall!
The mount was done by Sapp's Taxidermy. As you can see, he did a great job on it.

A Robview. (Review)

I have wanted to do a post like this for quite a while now. I think I will incorporate a new type of post on here called "Robviews". The purpose of these posts will be to inform loyal Roblog constituents of PC or internet related products that I deem to be highly useful. The first "Robview" will be dedicated to the product "Firefox".
Firefox falls into the category of "internet related products". Namely, its a web-browser. A VERY good one too. It blows "internet explorer" clean out of the water in my humble opinion! Any thing that gives a Microsoft product a run for its money MUST be good. I have used Firefox for at least a year now. I will list the things I like most about this great browser.
1. Its very clean. Doesn't have a lot of useless cluttery toolbars etc. like IE. This, of course, gives you optimal viewing space on web-pages.
2. When you go to launch or "start" Firefox, it loads up quickly.
3. Tabbed browsing. You can open new web-pages in tabs instead of whole new windows.
4. Bookmarks (favorites) are easily customized. The "bookmarks toolbar" is especially useful for your most frequently visited sites.
5. Has a powerful built-in popup blocker.
6. Is not targeted by security threats near as heavily as IE.
7. Google search is built right into the top right corner of the browser.
8. Very few websites fail to function properly under Firefox.
9. Yes. Its FREE.

One small detail to make you aware of is this:
About the only thing you can't do with Firefox is get those, all important, "Windows Updates". You MUST use Internet Explorer to get those unless you have your PC set to receive the updates automatically.
In summary, you would do yourself a favor by downloading and using Firefox if you don't already use it. You will not regret it.

Coming up on the next Robview: A look at Plaxo! It could be the last address book/contact solution you will EVER NEED!

Cheers! Rob

Web Page Design. Any Advice?

Looking for some good comment activity on this post. The topic of discussion is "web page design". As you all know by now, blogging has become quite the revolution across the internet. The thing I have noticed is how easy it is to create and update a blog. A blog is so much like a web page that I got to thinking "there has to be something online by now to create and update web pages as easy as a blog". I have used a few programs in the past like Namo and Front Page but was always frustrated at how time consuming and tedious it was to navigate and work with those programs. File uploading was also a pain at times. If anyone knows of a reputable online service that lets you create, edit, and host a website at a decent price please leave recommendations or suggestions below. Keep in mind that you don't need to have a user ID and password to leave comments on here.
Thanks

Where is Winter?

I must be different from most folks. When its winter, I expect the weather to be winter like. The weather around here lately has been more like the beginning of April than the middle of January! Its supposed to hit 60 again today! Someone said the Almanac predicted warm weather for the first part of this month but said the end of January will turn drastically colder and snow like mad. I will believe it when I see it with my own eyes! LOL Oh well, we all know that the weather is controlled by God and its up to Him what we get. The picture above (taken from last winter out of our patio door) will hold me through till winter does show up, if it shows up.

Val Yoder and Family.

Many of you would remember, from an earlier post, that Conrad was at SMBI during the 2nd term. This was the November/December term. Kendra was able to go back for the 3rd term and is there now. Conrad, Katrina, Ashley, Stephanie Keller, went this weekend to visit Kendra over her birthday. All of SMBI was shocked with the news that came today. Japheth Stauffer posted the following on his blog today:

Today God Saw fit to take another of His gems home. We received word this afternoon that Krystal Yoder, wife of Val Yoder, was ushered into the presence of her beloved Savior.

She has had a long battle with her heart and today it gave out on her while attending a wedding in Lancaster Pennsylvania. Her brother who is a medical doctor was there with her and said that she could not have been revived even if she had been at the best hospital. It was her time to go.

Please pray for their family! Their oldest son is in Thailand doing prep work for the whole family to move there next year. This also happened at the same time that Val was attending a meeting to plan the development of a Bible school for Asians in Thailand. Pray for the family’s strength in all of this!!

Newly Engaged!

Congratulations to 2 fine young couples! They announced their engagements this weekend. May the Lord richly bless you all in this new venture!

Chad and Kendra
