If you're on your way to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, follow Hawaii 11 to Volcano Village, a charming rainforest town known for its glass blowing and art galleries. Nestled within the forest at the 4,000 foot elevation, it offers a refreshing contrast to the beaches of West Hawaii and the hot, barren volcanic landscape a mere mile away. While you'll want to set aside some time to browse the galleries and have a bite to eat, Volcano Village is also a good place to fill in gas for your drive home.
Driving south out of Hilo, spend a day discovering the Puna District. This area on the eastern tip of Hawaii Island stretches from the sea to the 4,000-foot summit of Kilauea volcano. On the coast you'll find roiling ocean, black-sand beaches and a spring warmed by the volcano's steam. Towards the volcano you'll find rainforests, steam vents and the rugged landscapes of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Puna's most dramatic destination is Kalapana, a community that is partially covered by lava. In 1990, lava from Kilauea engulfed this historic town and the black sand beach at Kaimu. Today, the focal point is a viewing area where you can watch lava meet the sea. You can also explore the 17-acre Lava Tree State Park where a path winds through the lava rock molds of trees from the 1700's. Many who live on Hawaii Island say that Puna is Pele's workshop, where the tempestuous Volcano goddess continuously creates and recreates the very land we live on.
Stop off at Pahoa, an old mill town that now features a row of clapboard shops and eateries along an inviting boardwalk. If it's the weekend, detour at the roadside Makuu Farmers Market and stock up on fresh apple bananas, roasted macadamia nuts, Kapoho strawberry papayas and sweet rambutan. In contrast to the fields of black lava, the fertile slopes between the sea and volcanic summit are ripe with tropical fruit, orchids, anthuriums and macadamia nuts.
You'll also find a scenic 12-mile string of beach parks and camp sites along the coast, each offering something worth exploring: MacKenzie State Park (heiau, ironwood forest), Isaac Hale Beach Park, Ahalanui Park (large seaside pond warmed by the volcano), and Waiopae Tidepools Marine Life Conservation District (incredible snorkeling among connecting tide pools). Kehena Beach is a secluded black sand beach hidden from view of the roadway.
Along the easternmost point of Hawaii Island is the Cape Kumukahi area, which offers scenic hiking, and what scientists insist is the world's freshest air. Visit the Cape Kumukahi Lighthouse, which was spared by Pele from lava flow in 1960. You can also join the locals and hike a little over a mile south to Kapoho Bay where another coastal bath geothermally heated by Kilauea volcano can be found. Whether you're on a day-trip or staying at a bed and breakfast or vacation rental, visit Puna to find amazing off the beaten path discoveries.

Join wine.coop: Judge an Array of SF Chronicle Wine Competition Winners

In last month's 'Pro-Am" event we challenged the 'Gatekeepers of Cabernet' at The Winery SF on Treasure Island. In addition to attending a Vintners panel session and enjoying a walk around tasting, each attendee could vote in one of two flights. You can view the results of the voting and read more about the Cabfest on the Bay Area Wine Society's blog. For more photos go to: http://meetup.com/Bay-Area-Wine-Society/photos/12734552
This month at our smaller event we taste a variety of the most talked about medal winners from the mighty SF Chronicle Wine Competition --"the largest competition of American wines in the world." As part of our plan to select wines for our non-profit venture wine.coop, we will evaluate an array of varietals, both red and white, from different price points and regions. And as with many of our other vinous showdowns we will do it blind with ballots. And some tasty nibbles
The gallery will also have different artists on display this month: "art on the wall and in the glass" as our slogan says.
Our monthly multi meetup mingles ("Wingles") seek to offer occasions for people to socialize over new and different wine styles and flavors. Why nurse a glass of a single varietal or be limited to a flight of three wines at a high-markup wine bar when for the same amount of money you can savor and learn about a range of wines while enjoying the gallery's ever changing artist exhibits.
Our unique approach is based on the premise that certain special wines have an appeal to a broad range of different palates which rarely please the refined tastes of the wine pros. We want to offer attendees--who represent a cross section of those who buy wine for dinner--the opportunity to decide on their choices.
We will draw raffle prizes from the tickets used for the ranking of wines. You will also be able to purchase additional tickets to enhance your chances of winning a bottle of wine.

WATCH: Katy Perry's new job - meteorologist!
Listen to Katy Perry on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Today's weather is cloudy with a chance of… Katy Perry?
The "Dark Horse" singer, currently in Australia promoting her upcoming Prismatic tour, stopped by the local morning show, "Sunrise," on Tuesday and took a stab at being the meteorologist.
While the 29-year-old does her best to report the weather, hilarity ensues as she attempts to pronounce regions of Australia while reading from a teleprompter. She even jokingly mispronounces Hobart, calling it Hogwarts, as in Harry Potter's alma mater.
The brunette beauty isn't the only star to attempt to be a meteorologist for the day. Steve Carell hosted the weather back in Nov. 2013 while visiting the U.K. to promote "Anchorman 2" and teasingly called the gig, "the hardest job in the world." And in 2011, Bret Michaels made his debut on The Weather Channel as a guest correspondent reporting on the different climates he encountered while on tour in Middle America.
Check out Katy in action below!

CLAREMONT - Construction of the expanded Claremont Hills Wilderness Park parking areas will begin on Monday.
City manager Tony Ramos said the construction would wrap up at the end of January.
The north parking lot is being built to accommodate increased interest in the park's trails.
The Los Angeles County Flood Control District had requested the city halt construction of the parking lot during the first week of September until the organization could review the plans.
Flood Control District officials said it must review and approve all construction project plans inside its easement boundaries and issue a construction permit.
"There were some minor changes," said Brian Desatnik, director of community development for Claremont.
The nonprofit Pomona Valley Protective Agency is the landowner and had given the city permission to perform the work but without the district did not know about the project's knowledge.
The north lot construction includes adding the parking meters, which should be completed after the first of the year, Desatnik said.
"It will be just a couple of central meter stations so each parking spot will have a number," Desatnik said. "The park will be open (Monday) but the lot will be closed off," Desatnik said. "The north lot, not the south lot."
The Community and Human Services Commission on Nov. 7 approved a new parking-permit and hours for the park.
The proposed parking lot hours, which will now be sent to the City Council for its approval, are 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. from March to October and 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. from November to February.
Commissioners also approved a plan to sell four-hour permits for $3 at parking meters. People can also buy annual permits for $100.

Pet Feeder
By John
from Colorado Springs, Co
Best Uses
April 2013 -It is a expensive feeder. However, it seems to be fairly solid. In the past I have used La Bistro feeder and had the vinyl spindles break off easily. I like that this feeder uses a 'screw' that can be replaced if it breaks. Biggest dislike is the food level window is small and hard to glance at to see if hopper is empty. I can live with this, but would suggest to manufacturer that the make this window larger.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Kieran Brown and Charlotte Scott in the Rogers and Hammerstein musical Pipe Dream currently playing at the Union Theatre. Southwark. No complaints about their diction when singing, proof that it is possible to sing and be understood. © Kay Young Photography
By Dangle and Sneer of course
Published: 04/03/2012
The Sounds of Music
Why is it that drama schools teach singing so badly? Partlyto blame is that fact that nobody in the musical theatre these days actuallysings with their real singing voice. They use the sound system. When it breaksdown you cannot hear them. And they cannot rise to the occasion and fill theauditorium, not an impossible task in most fringe venues and possibly not
impossible in most theatres with decent acoustics either. But not having the ability to project is one thing, not being able to articulate the words is another.
Swallowing them so that the lyrics are indecipherable is a crime. It is not one the great ladies or men of musical theatrecommitted, but most of them date from the days when at best there would be some microphones along the footlights. Maybe they do teach them how to use the sound systems – no musical these days opens without
one – but they should be able to teach them how to articulate the words theare singing. The evidence is everywhere that this does not happen. Maybe John Hanson was to acting as a block of wood is to a pile of cement, but the man had
a voice which did justice to the words and music. So had Merman, Kirkwood, Martin, Keel - the list is endless. Musicals are everywhere on London's fringe with casts mostly fresh out of drama school. It is experience. They have
talent. But their training leaves something to be desired. They are not up to the demands of the genre in which they are performing. Maybe we need surtitles. It lets lots of opera singers off the hook when it comes to the words, but at
least they make the right sounds – most of the time. That isn't even always true of singing actors.
Sitting Pretty?
Are you sitting comfortably? Of course not. London's theatres are a disgrace. Admittedly some of them have seen better days, but some have been refurbished in some style – at least as far as the foyers are concerned. The seating in the Palladium is a terrible, and for some reason in the stalls the habit adopted somewhere of placing the rows so that one looks between the two people in front of you and not overt he head of the person directly in front exists. Naturally one gets Mr six foot seven with a bouffant hairdo, or his female equivalent in the seat in front. And yet some theatres have the cheek to charge a levy for improvements on top of the prices they charge anyway, although these days, what with all the deals around does anyone except hapless tourists actually pay the full whack?
Will anybody do anything about it?Probably not. Betjeman could have included a few more targets than Slough for those German bombs. The worst offender is arguably the greatest theatre designer of them all - Frank Machin. But his theatres are listed and changes are not allowed. You try the gorgeous Hackney Empire and see another example of having to peer round some totem pole to see the stage. On the other hand one does wonder why people who are vertically disabled should not sit at the side and think about the rest of us. But you needn't expect critics to worry. We always get good seats. Read someone the other day praising the pain in the eyes of Tamara Rojo, the ballerina, dancing Marguerite, the lady of the Camelias. Well she might have seen the pain in Tamara's eyes, but Dangle was sitting in the amphitheatre at Covent Garden, not being a dance critic, and from there one is lucky to make out the people on the stage have eyes, let alone see what is in them.
The Best of British
The Circle's Film Awards at the Mayfair Hotel could be called the night of a thousand no shows – weather, flu and residence in foreign parts meant that the winners stepping up in person to accept were few and far between. Sometimes it really doesn't matter because there to accept the Dilys Powell Award for excellence in film, the Film section's highest award named after the late Sunday Times film critic, was Helena Bonham Carter. She came, she stayed, she held court. It was not her first time at our Film awards – she was once the recipient of the Best British actress award, an event still remembered by the Film section chairman of the day, John Marriott who, calling her to the rostrum, invited her to accept the Breast British Actress Award. And yes, she remembers it well. She also told us that they are bigger now than they were then.
The Miller's Tale
English National Opera was once a happy home for Jonathan Miller, so we were not surprised to see him in the foyer the other Saturday when his production of The Mikado was being revived for the umpteenth time. It is one of ENO's cash cows. The gathering matinee throng were delighted to see the great man and he was much chatted to, including by Dangle, or possibly Sneer, who saw him approach the Friends' Desk. He was not, we suggested, likely to be seeking to become a Friend. He agreed. he was just being friendly. He was not, it seemed, in favour with "that twerp upstairs." Nor had he ever made a penny out of the production. It seems in the arts world you do not thrive as others have done in the commercial world from the likes of Les Miserables. But there were lots of operas he would still like to do at 79. And we could quote him about the twerp. Miller was in jovial mood, there to take his grand daughter to see the show. On sale at the programme desk was Drama section member Kate Bassett's biography – alas Dangle and Sneer did not have a copy – Dangle has it already, Sneer was, like most critics, financially embarrassed. But it would make a good Christmas gift.
Come of it Kim
The contents of those potted biographies in theatre programmes are always highly suspect to say the least. For a start, has anybody ever seen any of the films that the authors list – unless they are terribly well known and have dual stage and screen career? But it is not so much what they put in as what they leave out. Take Kim Cattrall, for instance. It was Sex and the City which made her a TV star, and since that ended she has been trying to establish herself as an actress of substance, notably most recently appearing as Cleopatra at Chichester in a Janet Suzman production of Anthony and Cleopatra which started life at the Liverpool Playhouse. All credit to the lady. In the programme she lists her films, but oddly not the most famous of the lot. Anyone would be excused for not remembering Mannequin, Star Trek V1, Bonfire of the Vanities and Trouble in Little China, but who has not seen – and enjoyed – the 1984 comedy Police Academy in which she played Steve Guttenberg's girlfriend? She appeared in none of the sequels, perhaps wisely as the series did, like all series, go downhill, but to leave it out of one's resume is really strange. Even Maggie Smith stooped to playing stooge to Whoopie Goldberg in Sister Act.
Once More With Feeling
There are times one wonders at what prompts directors to stage certain shows. The Open Air Theatre, which has enjoyed success over the years under successive directors with its musicals, has decided to stage The Sound of Music next year. It may be loved as a film, but as a stage show it has been revived recently and there are many other musicals lost to the public which might benefit from being rediscovered. But then Timothy Sheader chose to stage Ragtime this year, a show which has no resonances for British audiences – most of the real life people are people the sort of people who go to musicals have never heard of. The post war Vivien Ellis musicals ran quite successfully, and while their books might need to be "fixed" that is the case with an awful lot of musicals. So why not The Water Gypsies, Big Ben or Tough at the Top? The songs are good. Or why not try and do something like Pacific 1860, the Noel Coward show which reopened Drury Lane after the war. The score has loads of good songs and the fact that it was not a hit had more to do with the descent on London of the great Broadway shows of the time. Maybe those who hold the rights say no. But has anybody asked? The pint sized Finborough tried Novello's Gay's the Word this year and didn't quite succeed – but it has a charming score, a dreadful book and demands, what the British musical theatre does not currently have, a funny leading lady star. And while we are on about thoroughly unnecessary revivals, the Palladium is giving us next year that sickly hymn to Broadway gypsies, A Chorus Line in which the cast do turns revealing their deep insecurities. Mind you it has to be better than Tommy Steel as Scrooge – to appreciate the full horror Mr Steel in his prime get Finian's Rainbow, Fred Astaire's last movie. His performance, a frenzied melange of teeth and tics, sank the movie and his putative Hollywood career. There are some small mercies in this life we suppose.
The Sound of Dissent
There are times one wonders at what prompts directors to stage certain shows. The Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park, which has enjoyed success over the years under successive directors with its musicals, has decided to stage The Sound of Music next year. It may be loved as a film, but as a stage show it has been revived at the Palladium within living memory and there are many other musicals lost to the public which would benefit from being rediscovered. The post war Vivien Ellis musicals all ran quite successfully, and while their books might need to be "fixed" that is the case with an awful lot of musicals. So why not The Water Gypsies or London Town? Or why not try and do something with Pacific 1860, the Noel Coward show which reopened Drury Lane after the war? The score has loads of good songs and the fact that it was not a hit had more to do with the descent on London of the great Broadway shows of the time and its slightly old fashioned style - which would not be a factor today. And while we are on about thoroughly unnecessary revivals, the Palladium is giving us next year that sickly hymn to Broadway gypsies, A Chorus Line in which the cast do turns revealing their deep insecurities. Mind you it has to be better than Tommy Steel as Scrooge which will precede it – to appreciate the full horror Mr Steel in his prime get Finian's Rainbow, Fred Astaire's last movie. Steel's performance, a frenzied melange of teeth and tics, sinks the show.
More Blood
At last another of the long running musicals is coming off. After 22 years Willy Russell's Blood Brothers, a tale about twins separated at birth loosely based on the plot of the Corsican Brothers will quit the Phoenix where it has been playing since 1991, having transferred from the Alberry where it opened in 1988. It was the second time in the West End because the show, which started off in Liverpool, had a short run at the Lyic in 1983 starring Barbara Dixon as the mother minus a son. It won an Olivier for best musical and then went on tour before coming back and staying put. Blood Brothers is the third longest running musical in the history of the West End and the mother has been played by a succession of singers Stephanie Lawrence, Kiki Dee, Lyn Paul, Melanie Chisholm, Marti Webb and Maureen Nolan among them. In 1993 it opened on Broadway and ran for 844 performances. Over the years it acquired a cult following and audiences ritually rose to their feet at the end to give it a standing ovation. One is always sad to lose a show, but to quote the old song – "We don't want to lose you but we think you ought to go." Apart from anything else it will let people see what the Phoenix Theatre looks like again.
Razzle-Dazzle dies - not a day too soon
Let joy be unconfined. Chicago is finally coming off after a fifteen year run in the West End. One can only hope it is a sign of things to come and Blood Brothers, Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera will soon go the same way hotly followed by Jersey Boys and all those other shows that have been preventing one visiting perfectly decent theatres and denying all sorts of fine shows out of a home. It has a good score, but when it was staged as a book show with Elizabeth Seal way back whenever it sank rapidly. The thing that turned it into a hit – it has run for sixteen years on Broadway – was to stage it as a kind of concert performance. Bur enough is enough. Once the original stars had gone the producers brought in a succession of wannabees, hasbeens and never will bees, TV faces and film stars whose careers are over to play the leading roles, replying on the dancers to keep Bob Fosse's choreography re-interpreted by Anne Reinking fresh and the "names" to pull in the punters happy to see a telly face in the flesh. It has taken more than £120 million at the box office and played at three different theatres – the Adelphi, the Cambridge and the Garrick. John Kander, who composed the score, said it had been a great experience, and the fact that the London audience had embraced the show for fifteen years filled him with gratitude and pride. Well he would, wouldn't he? Latest face to join the show is Robin Cousins the ice skater who will play the lawyer Billy Flynn. Let us hope he can sing. Not that this has stopped some of those who have played the role in the past. Heaven knows David Hasselhoff has played the part, and so, most bizarrely, did Sacha Distel.

Have you ever wondered where old films go to die – the BFI Southbank and the shelves of Amazon apart. The answer is on South American television. That is where you see the films the stars made when it was a case of taking the money and running, knowing, as the more honest of them would admit, that the wretched thing would probably never see the light of day or be seen only by a handful of people so it didn't matter that it was rubbish. It paid the rent. Their career would not be damaged. Alas, they did not count on television showing films they would prefer to forget - over and over again – not just the bad ones, but films which showed how beautiful they were when they were young. The really lucky star grows old in front of the camera and audiences forget how beautiful they once were because the ageing process takes place before their eyes. It works for most men – and a few women. The sad among the latter strive to stay young in front of the camera playing the kind of roles that made them famous, their faces ever more rigid with Botox. You know who they are.
What can we do about Kevin?
The great Mr Spacey, lord of the Old Vic, was sounding off the other day about the price of tickets in the West End. Fair enough. There is also said to be some trepidation among the managements at the state of business and a fear that come the Olympics it will slump. Whether this is because they do not think those who go to athletic events also go to musicals, or whether they think that, having been ripped off in Stratford and elsewhere the punters have nothing left to get ripped off with in the West End is anybody's guess. But to Kevin. The other day we went to his theatre to see the Duchess of Malfi – nice production, great leading lady. We sat, as is our wont, in the Lilian Baylis Circle, their euphemism for the Gods, but still the acoustics are fine and the sight lines impeccable. The ticket cost £29, which seemed fair enough except that when we looked at it the face value was £22.50, the balance being made up of a booking fee and possibly, although it does not say so, one of those restoration levies. We had, of course, bought it on line. This is daylight robbery – the Royal Court only charges 50p for on line bookings. So Kevin why not put your money where your mouth is. That way we won't crack the one about a waste of Spacey.
Are we past our sell by date?
Is there any point in people like us? It is a question posed by Jason Solomons, currently chair of our Film section, in his Trailer Trash column in The Observer. He notes that the posters for The Best Exitic Marigold Hotel (a film which stars a bevy of thespian national tresures including Dames Judi and Maggie and Woman in Black (starring a very small man claiming unconvincingly to be the father of a four year old) do not feature the opinions of critics but quotes from members of the audience. "British film at its best...a joy to watch....film of the year" were words that apparently appeared on the Marigold's Facebook site. Audiences also adored Woman in Black making it the most successful British horror film for 20 years, while Marigold over took it at the box office with takings of some £5m - all achieved without the help of critics whose views on both films were somewhat less than enthuisiastic.
Is this the death of critics, Jason asks? Then he begs to differ, saying what it does is force propert film scribes to sharpen their writingg amd stick to their opinions.
He has a point. Critics have to be worth reading. It is also arguable that their standing would be higher if some, no names not pack drill, refused to pen words designed to appear on posters - employers love this - and also rejected the practice of awarding stars, one of the more meaningless exercises ever devised, but loved by publicists. It saves space and looks impressive but is meaningless and cartainly not criticism. The thing to do is read the small print below the stars, see who awarded them and draw your own conclusions.
As to the end of critics - well this is the age of the instant opinion so perhaps we just have to live with those who twit and blog and hope to survive.
3D or not 3D
One does wonder why the Royal Opera House for its second film in3D opted for the Moshe Leiser/Patrice Caurier production of Madame Butterfly even if it is the most popular of all operas. Their first venture was with Carmen in a Francesca Zimballa production which on stage was pretty run of the mill, even although their was the delight of watching a patently scared out of his wits Escamillo riding a real horse to the bullfight. But the 3D camera took one into the thick of the action on stage and transformed the whole experience. Butterfly, however, has been given a very stark settin and the opera is essentially a series of dialogues between Butterfly and the other characters. There is nothing for the 3D camera to do. The score sounds splendid, Lipin Zhang is a superb heroine, James Valenti, the faithless Pinkerton, suitably dashing and Anthony Michaels Moore is in fine voice as Sharpless, the American consult left to pick up the pieces. The director of the film, Julian Napier, has done a workmanlike job given essentially unsuitable material.
3D gets used by Hollywood mainly to enhance sword, sorcery and Greek myth blockbusters, but these opera films show that it is worth more than being squandered on trivia. In the case of opera it removes the barriers created by the orchestra pit and the proscenium arch.

Brevard, N.C. – North Greenville University scored sixth runs in the 10th inning to beat Brevard College, 10-4, Tuesday afternoon in NCAA Division II baseball action. Earlier, in the 8th inning, the Crusaders had tied the game at 4 on a Tyler Callicutt home run.
Derek Brown (2-2; Iva, S.C.) picked up the win for North Greenville (6-26) after pitching scoreless frames in the 9th and 10th. Luke Smithson (1-1; Mills River, N.C.) gave up three runs in 2/3 of an inning to pick up the loss. Brevard starter Spencer Linn (Fletcher, N.C.) did not factor into the decision but did pitch perhaps his finest game of the season, allowing only two unearned runs in seven innings while striking out ten Crusaders.
Brevard (7-19) struck first in the opening inning. With two out and the bases loaded, Kellen Moman (Greenville, S.C.) drew a walk after an 11-pitch at-bat and Josh Miller (Hendersonville, N.C.) was hit by a pitch to put the home nine up, 2-0.
The Crusaders tied the game in the 5th with a pair of unearned runs. Markus Duckworth (Belmont, N.C.) scored on a throwing error by Brevard third baseman Stephen Mullis (Charlotte, N.C.), and Dayton Lupton (Milner, Ga.) brought a run home with a fielder's choice to knot the affair at two runs each.
The Tornados retook control in the 6th. Vance Crook (West Union, S.C.) led the inning off with a double, and two batters later was standing on third with two out when M.A. Dozier (Cumming, Ga.) was called on to pinch hit. Dozier delivered, blooping a hit over the second baseman's head to put Brevard on top by a run.
Brevard tacked on a run in the 7th. William Scholer (Norwalk, Iowa) roped a double that just touched down inside the left field line, scoring Brice Warner (Clover, S.C.) to make the score 4-2.
The road team tied the game in the 8th. With a runner on first and one out, Callicutt (Pittsboro, N.C.) sent a 1-0 pitch from Brevard reliever Jacob White (Elkin, N.C.) over the left field fence to send the game to square one, at 4-4.
Todd Anderson's team threatened to end the game in the bottom of the 9th but was kept off the board by Brown. Warner led off the inning by drawing a walk and advanced to third with two out. But Brown got pinch hitter Jason Merrill (Hendersonville, N.C.) to pop out in foul territory, sending the game to extra frames.
After finishing the 9th inning on the mound for Brevard, Smithson retired the first batter he faced in the 10th. But Derek Fulmer (Pelion, S.C.), Callicutt, and Anthony Foulk (Genoa, Ill.) all singled, with Foulk's plating Fulmer, to put the Crusaders on top. Payne Parker (Florence, S.C.) came on to pitch, and allowed a run-scoring fielder's choice to Duckworth and an RBI single to Cory Hinton (Rock Hill, S.C.), then hit Chris Harbit to load the bases.
With the score 7-4, Tommy Yearty (Satellite Beach, Fla.) came in to relieve Parker. The junior allowed Duckworth to score on a wild pitch and gave up an single to David Frazier (Snellville, Ga.) that scored a run. Harbit came home to score on a throwing error by Brevard's Miller as Frazier stole second, ending the North Greenville rally with the score 10-4.
The Tornados are back in action Wednesday as they host Anderson University, a 3 p.m. start. North Greenville has the weekend off before playing Anderson next Tuesday at 6 p.m.

App rot
1. When an app is published and nary a soul downloads it. An all-too-common problem for brands and app developers in today's overcrowded app marketplace.
2. When an app is downloaded by a consumer but is rarely interacted with by said consumer.
I've got 50 apps on my iPhone4. Another 50 or so on my "vintage" model - a 2G iPhone I still use for gaming with the kids. Many of the apps do fantastic things, like turning my phone into a videoediting bay, and enabling me to record R&B tracks in autotune. (What could be more fantastic than that?)
But aside from the standby apps of social, stocks, weather and maps, there's one app I use more regularly than any other. One app that has increased my brand loyalty and usage: The GreatClips app.
Like a rooster that crows each morn, once a month, I open my trusty GreatClips app. It tells me current wait time, store hours, and … here's the best part… it lets me choose my store location and check in ahead of time so I don't have to sit and wait. Simple, powerful, and very valuable for someone like me, whose idea of torture is sitting in a haircut waiting room on a sunny Saturday.
When it comes to low switching costs -- meaning low brand loyalty -- you can't get much lower than men's haircuts. But the GreatClips app has succeeded in making me loyal to the brand.
As marketers and product managers, we're all scurrying to leverage mobile to increase brand affinity and capture positive ROI. But instead of trying to dream up the next great mobile innovation, the simplest path to avoiding App Rot is to identify your customer touchpoint where the greatest utility can be delivered, like GreatClips did for customers like me. Most of the time, you'll find that the less complex the better, and the less sexy, the better.
Rather than trying to recreate your desktop experience on mobile, or stuff every marketing exec's ideas into a company app, why not start small and simple, with a mobile experience that will do one thing really well for your core market segment? Your customers will thank you, and they'll tell others. And word-of-mouth is the most powerful marketing of all.

It narratives and anthropomorphism
Our latest Avid Reader newsletter is out. This time we address the subject of talking animals and objects, otherwise known as It narratives and anthropomorphism.
This literary phenomenon covers many genres. We don't hesitate for a second when a child's toy or a rabbit or Dora's backpack speaks and offers some words of wisdom. There's a lot of classics on this page but they are not all children's titles. Read the article.

back from vacation. I put up 100 or so slaps on the i-90 corridor. going to make some of the elephant slaps and some new birds today. pm me if you wanted trades.
This is in response to dickhead. Graff mainly started in New York. At first then people just tagged but as graff became more complex then they realized that it is very hard to get a way with putting up illegal pieces in easily visible areas. They realized that if they drew on stickers then they could take as much time as they wanted and then put it up in only a split-second. After people realized this the New York subways were covered up in another form of graff. This ofcourse has now spread all around the world. Graff is graff art is art. Sticker, canvas, wall, papyrus it doesn't matter just practice and make it look good.
Im just surprised you took it so to heart, clearly hes a troll but he does have a point that has been on my mind.
Stickers can be misleading as hell, I look at a sticker of a character or something printed and I think, you know thats pretty nice, he's not bad. Then you see that same someone's attempt at letters and its absolutely horrible. Not saying this is true for everyone but it happens a decent amount. I honestly do think it takes less skill for stickers than actual letters, thats just my opinion im not trying to offend anyone.
It is what it is n I'll get up in every way I know how
The true dumbasses are the ones taking him seriously and not shutting the fuck up about the one post he created days ago

The Lumbee Indians: An Annotated Bibliography, a website that has been online since 2002, was relaunched today in an easier-to-use, database-driven format. The website provides references—most of them annotated—for sources about North Carolina's Lumbee Indians. The Lumbee Tribe is one of eight tribes recognized by the state of North Carolina and has had a limited form of federal recognition since 1956. There are 55,000 members of the Lumbee Tribe, most of them living in Robeson and adjacent counties of North Carolina.
The website has nearly 1,900 bibliography entries for sources in a wide range of formats. The emphasis is on published scholarly sources, but there are also numerous news sources, magazine articles, government publications, literary works, archival materials, and audio-visual sources. Over 1,000 of the sources were published, or discovered, after 1994. Around 750 of the sources first appeared in The Lumbee Indians: An annotated bibliography, with chronology and index (McFarland, 1994). The website was initiated as a supplement to this book. A grant from the Martha and Nancy Lee Bivens University Library Fund for Excellence paid for the data entry of the items from the book.
Most of the website content was written by Glenn Ellen Starr Stilling, Information Literacy Librarian and Professor. Over the years, extensive web development and support for the website's maintenance have been provided by several members of the Library's Technology Services Team. Library student assistants have written news annotations and performed data entry. The development of the new website has been ongoing since 2007.

PET scanPositron emission tomography
A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is a type of imaging test. It uses a radioactive substance called a tracer to look for disease in the body.
A PET scan shows how organs and tissues are working. This is different than magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), which show the structure of, and blood flow to and from organs. Many places have machines that combine the PET and CT images, so that only one exam is performed.
Related tests include:
How the Test is Performed
A PET scan uses a small amount of radioactive material (tracer). The tracer is given through a vein (IV). The needle is most often inserted on the inside of your elbow. The tracer travels through your blood and collects in organs and tissues. This helps the radiologist see certain areas more clearly.
You will need to wait as the tracer is absorbed by your body. This takes about 1 hour.
Then, you will lie on a narrow table that slides into a large tunnel-shaped scanner. The PET detects signals from the tracer. A computer changes the signals into 3D pictures. The images are displayed on a monitor for your health care provider to read.
You must lie still during the test. Too much movement can blur images and cause errors.
How long the test takes depends on what part of the body is being scanned.
How to Prepare for the Test
You may be asked not to eat anything for 4 to 6 hours before the scan. You will be able to drink water. If you have diabetes, your health care provider will tell you not to take your diabetes medicine before the test because it will interfere with the results.
Tell your provider if:
- You are afraid of close spaces (have claustrophobia). You may be given a medicine to help you feel sleepy and less anxious.
- You are pregnant or think you might be pregnant.
- You have any allergies to injected dye (contrast).
Always tell your provider about the medicines you are taking, including those bought without a prescription. Sometimes, medicines may interfere with the test results.
How the Test will Feel
You may feel a sharp sting when the needle with the tracer is placed into your vein.
A PET scan causes no pain. The table may be hard or cold, but you can request a blanket or pillow.
An intercom in the room allows you to speak to someone at any time.
There is no recovery time, unless you were given a medicine to relax.
Why the Test is Performed
A PET scan can reveal the size, shape, position, and some function of organs.
This test can be used to:
- Check brain function
- Diagnose cancer, heart problems, and brain disorders
- See how far cancer has spread
- Show areas in which there is poor blood flow to the heart
- Determine if a mass in your lung is cancerous or harmless
Several PET scans may be taken over time to check how well you are responding to treatment for cancer or another illness.
Normal Results
A normal result means there were no problems seen in the size, shape, or position of an organ. There are no areas in which the tracer has abnormally collected.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal results depend on the part of the body being studied. Abnormal results may be due to:
- Change in the size, shape, or position of an organ
- Cancer
- Infection
- Problem with organ function
The amount of radiation used in a PET scan is about the same amount as used in most CT scans. These scans use short-lived tracers, so the radiation is gone from your body in about 2 to 10 hours.
Tell your doctor before having this test if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Infants and babies developing in the womb are more sensitive to radiation because their organs are still growing.
Rarely, people may have an allergic reaction to the tracer material. Some people have pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site.
It is possible to have false results on a PET scan. Blood sugar or insulin levels may affect the test results in people with diabetes.
Most PET scans are now performed along with a CT scan. This combination scan is called a PET/CT. This helps find the exact location of the tumor.

In 2017 and beyond, we aim to sustain momentum in all Corning businesses while leveraging new innovations to drive both near- and long-term growth, and to extend our commitment to return cash to shareholders.
"Our new strategic and financial framework reflects the financial and industrial strengths of Corning, and our ongoing commitment to create value for shareholders." – Wendell P. Weeks, CEO
Our Priorities for 2017 and Beyond
Our Priorities for 2017 and Beyond
Focusing Our Portfolio
Focusing Our Portfolio
Corning has tremendous opportunities before it. From a shareholder value perspective, the challenge is to select the right opportunities.
We apply both financial and strategic criteria to make our selections. Our financial hurdles include market size, return on invested capital, and sustainability of margins. Our strategic criteria are about increasing our probability of success and reducing the cost of innovation.
We are best-in-the-world in 3 Core Technologies, 4 Manufacturing & Engineering platforms, and 5 Market-Access Platforms.
Our probability of success increases as we apply more of these best-in-the-world capabilities. Our cost of innovation declines as we reapply our talent and repurpose our assets. Additionally, by combining multiple capabilities, we create higher and more sustainable competitive barriers.
As we focus our portfolio, we are dedicating 80% or more of our resources to opportunities that use at least two of our Core Technologies, Manufacturing & Engineering platforms, or Market-Access Platforms.
Our framework allows us to direct up to 20% of our resources at opportunities that leverage a single capability. But when we do that, the potential payoff must be dramatically higher, because we know the chance of success will be lower.
The framework also means that we will consider removing assets falling outside our core capabilities. While we operate these assets well and they return more than their cost of capital, we recognize that others may find them more synergistic, and we will consider transactions that create value for our shareholders.
Invest in Innovation
Invest in Innovation
Our commitment to innovation is unwavering and gives us a strong competitive advantage. On average, we invest in research and development at slightly more than twice the rate of our peers. This investment supports greater profitability. We want to capture growth in today's businesses while creating innovations for tomorrow.
Some recent results of this dedication include:
- The introduction of Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5, the new flagship cover glass that provides further protection against breakage from everyday drops, while maintaining leadership in optical clarity, touch sensitivity, and damage resistance.
- The recently introduced Vibrant Corning® Gorilla® Glass, which builds on Corning's leadership position in cover glass to deliver new design technology to consumer electronics device makers.
- The continued advancement of Corning® Gorilla® Glass technology for the automotive industry was demonstrated in a joint research presentation with Ford at the Society of Automotive Engineering conference.
- The introduction of new cell culture vessels and other products that help researchers focus on the discovery and development of new ways to treat diseases and conduct studies in stem cell, cancer and other vital research areas.
Return Cash to Shareholders
Return Cash to Shareholders
In October 2015, Corning announced a Strategic and Capital Allocation Framework that reflects the company's financial and operational strengths, as well as its ongoing commitment to capital stewardship. Recognizing the company's significant progress across multiple fronts, the Framework was updated in June 2016. Corning now expects to generate and deploy more than $26 billion through 2019, up from the previous plan to deploy more than $22 billion.
The Strategic and Capital Allocation Framework consists of two primary actions:
- Return more than $12.5 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and increased dividends. As part of this plan, Corning intends to target an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of two times, and to reduce its global cash to approximately $2 billion.
- Invest approximately $10 billion in Corning's focused portfolio. Over the next four years, Corning will concentrate its RD&E investment, capital spending, and strategic M&A on a cohesive set of 3 core technologies, 4 manufacturing & engineering platforms, and 5 market-access platforms. Corning, already a leader in these areas, believes its focused-portfolio approach will allow it to generate substantial growth and returns for investors.
Recent successes include cash distributions, strategic transactions, product introductions, moderating pricing environment in Display, and our advancement of lowest cost manufacturing positions.

Talking to your baby..
Well, I do not know if there is a scientific rationale about this but talking to your baby even if she/he is still in your tummy can result to a very emotionally healthy baby?
I am a very communicative person and I get pregnant before we were married. I was alone for the dad was away from us and I regularly talk to my baby. I think I started doing so when I was about 4 months pregnant. It was fun, telling all my plans about her and all my hesitation too. As if I was talking to an adult and I feel like she do listen too.
I do not know if it has contributed to her confidence now and her personality but my girl is a very sociable, confident and secure person.
I think the bonding should start from there. You can tell us your story too in relation to this topic. I might not be correct or this might help other mothers too. Who knows this can correct some misbehavior we have now with teens and kids.

I agree - I think it is fantastic to start communicating and chatting with your baby even when they are still on the inside! There is also evidence that babies recognise music that they first heard when they were in the womb.
I started bonding with my son when I was pregnant with him. I would talk to him, play him music and I also loved how his movements would sometimes respond to me touching my tummy (in the third trimester). The obstetrician Rene Van De Carr explains about the importance of communicating with your baby in your womb in his book While you Are Expecting: Creating Your Own Prenatal Classroom.
Children develop speech and language the quickest when you frequently talk to them when they are babies (even before they can control their tongue). Some health visitors recommend that mums who are on their own to give a 'running commentary' on their day - basically talking through everything they are doing. I also love sharing books with my little boy and he enjoys turning the pages and pointing to the pictures.
Thank you for starting this interesting thread.

I love that you talked to your baby before she was born. It is good for babies to hear their mother's voice, and it helps with bonding, as you mentioned. Talking to your baby also was a soothing experience for you - a stress reducer which helped with your pregnancy.
Thanks for sharing
Warm regards,

I talked to my babies when I was pregnant with them but more often with my first. The second wasn't that much because I get tired from taking care of the oldest. I felt sorry for not doing the same with my 2nd son, but good thing my oldest keeps touching and hugging my tummy. And now, they are very close to each other, Like every time they got each others back.

Good day!
Wow, I thought at first with some hesitation that no one was interested since I never heard this practice from old folks It is an elation to know that being a mom you are the first person to influence your child genetically and emotionally ( well dads genetically ) but a very nice feeling.
Music was one of my medium when I was talking to my kids. It was all old music and mellow ones. I am wondering at first why my daughter love the old songs. It is only now that I realize and have it connected.
Hope the mom-to-be will play those soft and mellow sound to soothe their babies rather than those loud and ear piercing ones. Sorry I am from the old generation of people.
thanks for the interest and have a good day everyone!

This is nice. I do this during my pregnancy...reading stories to my angel in my tummy...singing and talking to her as if she is in my arms. By this he can feel that we really acknowledge her presence and that we are very happy of her existence. Nice topic.

I did this during my pregnancies as well. I read, sang, and spoke with the baby. My husband did the same. I feel like it helped with bonding. It definitely helped us to feel connected to our babies before they arrived.

I talked to my babies when they were in the tummy as well. It is such a nice way to bond, for both mum and baby. Babies recognize voices upon arrival, so it is also an excellent way for grandparents, fathers, and siblings to bond with baby.
As for outcomes, I have four very happy, sociable children so I'd say the early communication could definitely help.

I am a firm believer that Roy Stewarts surfboards are worth every penny. If I had the money I would have one of each of them.
YouTube has endless video's of his boards in action. How can you argue with video evidence?
I would say that Roy's designs are proven over many ages to work for what they are designed for and think he gets a lot of undeserved crap about the performance of his craft compared to modern boards (hey they are not 5'10" thrusters afterall) but as for the price, ummmm I know an artist work is very hard to value ( I am a musician) but half a million plus for a surfboard is insane regardless.
Every one is entitled to there opinion. Some might say a Rolex, Bently, or famous painting is over priced. I't is art work. So price is not determined by labor and cost of material. Who else makes boards like Roy? You can't buy them at the local surf shop. There hand crafted by a master shaper/builder.
If you we're a multi millionaire would you buy one?
What would you feel comfortable paying for one of his boards if the list price is to high?
I couldn't see paying more than $5k. But, like you, I would build one loooooooong before I ever bought one.

Illinois Sinkhole Swallows Golfer
(NEWSER) – Florida isn't the only state dealing withsinkhole troubles: On an Illinois golf course Friday, golfer Mark Mihal suddenly dropped into one. "I was standing in the middle of the fairway," he tells the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Then, all of a sudden, before I knew it, I was underground." He was rescued from the 18-foot-deep, 10-foot-wide hole by friends and the golf course general manager; one friend had to climb down and tie a rope around Mihal's waist, because he dislocated his shoulder in the fall.

On Feb. 10, Microsoft released version 2.2.550 of the Metro Music app -- also known as the "Modern" Music app and/or Xbox Music app -- as well as the Metro Video app 2.2.550 for Windows 8/8.1. Want to know what Microsoft changed from the last version (Jan. 22's version 2.2.444.4)? Tough luck. The most Microsoft will tell you is that both contain "minor fixes and improvements."
Microsoft's Xbox on Windows release details page -- where one would expect to find a changelog -- reads more like advertising copy. Aside from touting the ubiquitous "minor fixes and improvements," you can see such enlightening change entries as "It's now simpler to buy the albums and songs you want to keep forever. You can redeem Microsoft gift cards, too!" Look a little closer and you'll see that the changelog entry for Jan. 22 is copy-and-paste identical to the changelog entry for Nov. 19, 2013. The page isn't a changelog, it's an inside joke.
Microsoft has rules governing the behavior of apps accepted for publication in the Windows Store. Up until last October, every app update submitted to the store had to have descriptions of the changes made in the latest version -- what you and I would call a changelog. For reasons that escape me, on Oct. 17, 2013, the App certification process dropped that stipulation, formerly known as paragraph 6.7. Prior to Oct. 17, 2013, every app submitted for inclusion in the Windows Store had to have a changelog. A very cursory glance at the Xbox on Windows release details page shows that Microsoft didn't even pay lip service to its own rules. Now, there are no rules. Problem solved.
So we end up with the current situation -- where Microsoft's customers try to guess at the changes that have been made. There's a good example of the quandary on the Winbeta notification blog about the Feb. 10 patch. Ron at Winbeta started by saying yesterday:
Microsoft has not provided a change log for the update, which is typical behavior from the devices and services giant. The change log that is currently listed in the app's description page is very old. Not to be outdone, the Video app also received an update, but just like the Music app, there is no updated change log available.
Later, Winbeta modified the page to say, "The Music app and Video app updates are minor, as they both addresses bugs and improve app performance."
But as anyone who's ever used a changelog knows, that raises the question of which changes were made. It's all well and good that Microsoft tells us there's nothing to look at here, move along, move along. But if you're asked to apply updates to your system, isn't it beholden on Microsoft to at least explain what the changes involve?
Comments on that Winbeta blog illustrate the point. Posters say the new version:
Fixes a bug where people with Xbox Music Pass (like me) couldn't sign in (nor use the app...)
This update also sees the return of 10hr monthly limit bar for non music pass subscribers in setting preferences.
Now you are able to see the Explcit and Clean version when you download or listening a music
Yet another:
When you are in NOW PLAYING MODE, IN FULL SCREEN, when the song is almost finish to go for the next one, it says you WHAT NEXT (The title of the song ) and what you've been listening to.
changes on the now playing screen: it is not under the playlists, but instead it is with Collection, Radio, and Explore.
Done yet?
Now Playing screen has a save button on the right with the full screen button
Now Playing screen it shows what song is up next and what was on last
We could do this all day:
songs and albums now note Explicit
(Thanks for the above comments go to anidexlu, PhntmStrngr, System32, and MSFT_Guru.)
That may look like a list of "minor fixes and improvements" to you, but it certainly doesn't to me. The implications are chilling because, to put it simply, there's no way out of a bad Metro app patch. There's no uninstall -- once you have it, you're stuck with it.
Why can't we get a simple, concise list of fixes when new versions roll out of the chute? We're talking Programming 101 here.

Meatless Monday is a global movement, a way of life. It's not a campaign to turn everyone in the world vegetarian or vegan; in fact, many involved are meat-lovers. Eating less meat has been proven to reduce the risk of disease, curb obesity and has important environmental impacts, too. Will you join us in giving up meat, just for one day a week?
On Monday nights, I go for recipes that require minimal prep work and yield leftovers. Not only do I save money, but I also have something delicious to look forward to the next day in the office. Sundried Tomato and Basil Mac and Cheese fits the bill for a low-key dinner — and an extra -pecial lunch for the next day (or two).
You're never too old for macaroni and cheese. Perhaps you've moved past the infamous blue box, but cheesy pasta is a timeless — and ageless — guilty pleasure. This recipe is classy enough to serve at a dinner party but easy enough to make for tonight's Meatless Monday dinner. If you're worried about having too many leftovers, halve the recipe or stick some of the extras in the freezer for a quick dinner down the road.
Creamy Dreamy Sundried Tomato and Basil Mac and Cheese
1 tablespoon butter, for greasing
1 pound elbow macaroni
1 cup shredded Asiago cheese
1 cup shredded fontina cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 cup chopped sundried tomatoes, packed in oil and drained
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, for topping
Grease a 9-by-13-inch ovenproof dish with the butter and set aside. Preheat the broiler to 500 degrees F
Cook the macaroni in a large saucepan of boiling salted water, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and return to the hot pan, making sure there is no water left. Stir the Asiago, fontina and mozzarella into the macaroni while it's still hot, and then mix in the cherry tomatoes, sundried tomatoes and basil, combining thoroughly. This is the base of your mac and cheese. Now it's time to make the sauce that will be the "glue" to your whole dish.
For the sauce: Combine the butter and flour in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Only cook this mixture until it appears that all the butter has combined with the flour, making sure not to allow it to become dark in color or get overcooked. Immediately whisk in the milk and garlic, and continue whisking another 5 minutes. You want to keep the mixture moving so the milk does not form a skin. Whisking, add the salt, black pepper, oregano and red pepper flakes. Within 10 to 15 minutes, this mixture will start to thicken. Dip a clean spoon into the sauce; if the spoon is well coated, it means it's done. If it is still loose, you can bump the heat to high and keep whisking.
Ladle three-quarters of the sauce into your macaroni base and combine. Transfer into the ovenproof dish and carefully spoon the remaining sauce on top. Sprinkle the Parmesan over and place under the broiler 5 to 10 minutes. We just want the whole dish to get warmed up and the top to be golden brown. Once you have finished cooking your creamy, dreamy sundried tomato and basil mac and cheese, let sit 5 minutes before you cut into it. Serve it up and enjoy!

Celebrities lining up to buy the Clippers
Now that the NBA has banned Donald Sterling for life, what happens next? Donald Sterling has said that the team is not for sale. NBA commissioner Adam Silver said that it is up to the owners to decide if Sterling should be forced to sell the team.
That vote hasn't happened yet, and nobody knows for sure if it will happen, but that hasn't stopped celebrities from expressing their interest in buying the team.
According to Fox Sports, boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. has said he wants to put together a group to buy the team. He may have competition from his boxing rival Oscar De La Hoya. The Mexican-American boxer released a statement through Golden Boy Promotions, expressing his interest to buy the team and "bring a different perspective to the NBA in general, and the Clippers in particular".
Magic Johnson has also been considered as a potential buyer for the team. Ever since Sterlings racist remarks were leaked, people have called on the Dodgers owner to buy the team. His basketball background and L.A. roots make him an ideal candidate to own the team.
People outside the sports world also have a serious interest in buying the team from Sterling. The biggest name in the mix is Oprah. ESPN is reporting that Oprah is working on a partnership with media mogul David Geffen and Oracle CEO Larry Ellison to make a bid for the team. Geffen tried to buy a stake in the team back in 2010, but Sterling turned down his offer.
A few music icons have also expressed their interest in the team. Dr. Dre told a TMZ about his interest in the buying the team.
Diddy and Rick Ross both took to Twitter to declare their interest in owning the Clippers.
I will always be a Knicks fan, but I am a business man. #DiddyBuyTheClippers #NameYourPrice
— Diddy (@iamdiddy) April 29, 2014
I'd be interested investing in @LAclippers !!!! Make It #WingstopArena @WingstopCEO Lets Goooo !!!
— Mastermind (@rickyrozay) April 29, 2014
Frankie Muniz, a Clippers season ticket holder, has dreamed of owning the team for a long time. He seems to think he already has it, despite all the others interested.
I am buying the Los Angeles Clippers.
— Frankie Muniz (@frankiemuniz) April 29, 2014
Will he be able to overcome Oprah or Diddy in a bid to own his favorite team?
Will the team even be for sale? In order to force Sterling out 3/4 of the owners would have to agree to vote him out. Adam Silver promised to do his best to lobby for that outcome, but it might be a long shot. Despite the universal revulsion about Sterlings remarks, and his long history of alleged racism, some owners are weary of forcing him out over private comments, recorded in secret.

This was my second purchase from DrillSpot and I am completely satisfied with my overall experience.
Drillspot had the best price I could find. They shipped very quickly. The item was well packaged. I could not have been more satisfied.
Cheapest price I could find, and fast, free, damage-free shipping too. The item I ordered arrived in perfect shape, just two days after placing my order. The price was about 40% less than the MSRP or highest price at other places online or nearby. Who could ask for more?
Drillspot provided the best price for this item on the net. Their delivery was ahead of schedule and the items arrived in perfect order. I would definitely use Drillspot again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a professionally run company with competitive prices.
Have no hesitations on ordering from this seller. The fan was actually broken when I received it, not due to their fault, and the customer service was awesome!! Immediately refunded my money. No hassles. This is the kind of company I love to do business with. Thank you!!
Ordered a Weber Smoky Mountain Smoker on Monday and received it Friday in Ohio. Just wanted to say thanks on the great price and great delivery. Best price on this item anywhere.+ More Testimonials
