things i'm digging
1. Keen Brooklyn II Crossbody Bag
Oh. My. I've found the bag, my friends. The bag to end all bags. It's big, but not too big. It's sporty, but a little bit feminine. It's obnoxiously bright (of course I ordered the orange/coral/salmon one). It's got a million pockets. It's from one of my favorite companies, Keen. It's absolutely perfect. And I got it for half off on a Zulily sale. I'm in love. Love!
2. Thrift Shop.
Dude, this song is my jam. I know, it's cheesy and silly and incredibly overplayed on the radio (at least in our area) but I love thrifting! I'd say at least 75% of my clothes are from thrift shops—so it's nice to have a song singing the praises of buying "used" clothes.
3. Our car.
We're a one car household, and man, do we love that one car of ours. We bought a barely-used (like, it had 3,000 miles on it) 2010 Honda Fit two years ago and it has served us insanely well. It's got incredible gas mileage. It's mega comfy for long trips. And my favorite part? For a small car, there is a ton of room in it. We actually fit a whole loveseat in the back of it once. With the hatch closed! Oh, and it's orange. Which is awesome. We are Honda fans forever!
4. Snack prep.
Now that I'm working from home all the time, I have to really keep my snacking in check. So the best way to do that for me? Make healthy foods the easiest and most convenient choices in the fridge. Last weekend, I cut up a bunch of carrots, celery and cauliflower for snacking. I made a big container of hummus. I boiled a dozen eggs for easy protein. I made a bunch of peanut butter date balls. Now, when I look in the fridge, all I see are healthy choices looking back at me.
5. My new blogging schedule.
A lot of things are changing now that I'm not heading to work each week, and one of my favorite changes is that I have a lot more freedom to blog in real-time. When I was working, my blogging was almost 100% done on the weekends. I made all my recipes. I photographed all the food. I edited all the photos. I wrote and scheduled all the posts. That meant that between my two blogs and my freelance gigs, I was writing upwards of 12-15 posts in a weekend. Which was ridiculous. Now, I have the freedom to write in real-time and I'm loving it! I can write posts the night before they are scheduled to go up, or even not schedule them at all and just write when I feel like writing. I think it'll really help my content, too. I'm hoping you'll see BTHR become a lot less stuffy and a lot more honest, from-the-heart and off-the-cuff.
What are you digging right now?
my lent sacrifice
I'm not a religious person. But even though I don't subscribe to organized religion, I do see a lot of value in some of the traditions and rituals associated within a lot of religions. And one of those traditions that really resonates with me and my lifestyle is Lent.
For me, (obviously) Lent isn't about the traditional religious goals. But, for me, it is a great way to turn the focus inward for 40 days. I love spending that time really doing intensive work on strengthening my resolve, my spirit and my health. Granted, since my Lent isn't really tied to holy days, I could technically wedge those 40 days into any time of the year, but I find that the traditional period is a really great time for me. It's like spring cleaning for my body and soul. By the time Lent is through, the daffodils are blooming and I feel strong, healthy and ready for a new season!
There are a lot of elements to what I like to do during Lent, but I think sacrifice is the category that people are most familiar with. You know, the "I'm giving up Coke for Lent." kinda thing. For me, I really love this part of Lent, because I have a tendency to get…well…bratty. I think I deserve things. I think I need things. I think I should be rewarded. And, sometimes, that's true. But more often than not, it's just a way for me to rationalize spending extra money on a new purse or eating another chocolate chip cookie. So I think every now and again, it's nice to remind myself that my willpower is strong, and that life does go on if I don't get that one thing that I think I need rightnowthisverysecond. It's also a nice little opportunity to work on an aspect of my life that maybe isn't as shiny and polished as I hope it to be.
If you've been paying careful attention over the past few weeks (and noticed the photos on this post), you can probably guess what I'm sacrificing for Lent—sugar. My attachment to sugar is really something I need to get ahold of. I literally feel a physical pull to sweets and sugar. It's actually kind of a scary thing for me. So, I'm cutting out all sweeteners. Sugar, brown sugar, maple syrup, honey, anything. Basically, if I put it into something to make it sweeter, it's out. Is this a permanent change? No way. But I think a clean slate can go a very long way to help shake my sugar addiction.
I've given up sugar before for short periods of time, and I always felt so incredible without sugar. I felt strong, I had a ton of energy, and I slept incredibly well. My body feels much better with less sugar, so I'm really excited for this reboot to get back to feeling my absolute best. Plus, there is just something really awesome about accomplishing something that is really hard for you. And this is going to be really hard for me.
I've heard before that humans have such a hard time regulating our sugar intake for biological reasons. Sugar means quick energy. And that used to be really good stuff to have kicking around (you know, when you were getting chased by a herd of wooly mammoths), but with our sit-down culture? Not so much. I'm not sure how much truth there is to that, but I've definitely seen in myself that moderating sugar is really, really hard. I can't just have a "little bit" of sugar. Or, if I can, it's just the beginning of a sugar snowball. One teaspoon of honey in tea? No big deal. Except then that doubles for me a week later. And doubles again and week after that. And before you know it, I'm sitting on the floor of the kitchen scooping honey into my face with my hands (not really, but still).
I'm working with Coach Krissie from Committed Coaching to help me get through this sacrifice and work through other spiritual and emotional challenges. I'm so very happy to have Krissie to back me up and worth with me through my physical and emotional attachment to sugar. It may sound silly to say I'm emotionally attached to dessert, but I know I am. It's deeper than just wanting sweets because they taste good. There are emotional ties to sugar that I just can't deny.
Wish me luck!

Jury Awards $85 Million To Iraq Vets, KBR Negligent In Toxic Exposure Trial, According To Doyle Raizner LLP And Co-Counsel
HOUSTON, Nov. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A federal court jury awarded $85 million to 12 Oregon National Guard soldiers who alleged military contractor KBR, Inc. knowingly exposed them to a carcinogen at a water treatment plant they guarded in Iraq in 2003, the soldiers' legal team said tonight.
The Portland, Ore. jury unanimously found KBR was negligent and showed "reckless and outrageous indifference" to the health, safety and welfare of the soldiers, each of which was awarded $850,000 in non-economic damages and $6.25 million in punitive damages.
The Oregon National Guard soldiers, along with other U.S. and British military personnel, guarded the Qarmat Ali water treatment plant, near Basra, Iraq, which KBR was contracted to rehabilitate by the U.S. government. The soldiers alleged KBR misled them about the presence and risks associated with sodium dichromate, an anticorrosive agent used to clean pipes at the plant. Sodium dichromate contains hexavalent chromium, a known carcinogen banned in the U.S.Trial evidence included KBR documents noting a "serious health problem" at Qarmat Ali and "almost 60% of the people now exhibit the symptoms" of sodium dichromate exposure. The soldiers testified they have health problems, including respiratory, skin, gastrointestinal, and lung issues because of the toxic exposure. The trial included videotape testimony of Indiana National Guard Lt. Col. James Gentry, who died in 2009 of lung cancer linked by the Veterans Administration to the sodium dichromate exposure at Qarmat Ali. The soldiers are represented by Michael Patrick Doyle, Jeffrey L. Raizner, and Patrick M. Dennis, of Doyle Raizner LLP, of Houston; Gabriel Hawkins, of Cohen & Malad LLP, of Indianapolis; and David F. Sugerman, of David F. Sugerman Attorney PC, of Portland, Ore. Michael Patrick Doyle, of Doyle Raizner LLP, said, "This verdict is an important step toward obtaining justice for the U.S. and British military personnel who face serious health problems and uncertainty because of KBR's negligence at Qarmat Ali. This jury gave these war veterans and their families what KBR would not – justice and respect for their service to our nation." About 150 more Qarmat Ali-related claims are pending against KBR in federal courts in Portland and Houston. The case is " Rocky Bixby, et al., v. KBR, Inc., et al," Case No. 3:09-CV-632-PK in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon. contact: Erin Powers, Powers MediaWorks LLC, for Doyle Raizner LLP, 281.703.6000, email@example.com.

The path to banning horse carriages in the city is seen as a product of recent political developments, including the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, the rezoning of the Far West Side and last year's mayoral election. NY1's Josh Robin filed the following report.
Getting on a horse carriage ride requires a quick hail. Stopping them requires a craftier operation.
One of last's year's biggest ads targeted Christine Quinn, then the front-runner. Those behind it didn't like Quinn's support for horse carriages, but there's a hitch: the ad didn't mention banning horse carriages.
"I was absolutely delighted with the way that our organization really took off over the past year," said Allie Feldman, a political operative who runs a group that was behind it for horses' rights.
The issue charges up many people, but perhaps not enough to win mayoral elections. So under looser campaign laws, Feldman's anti-horse carriage group became something of an all-purpose anti-Quinn repository.
"We provided a platform for people who are incredibly unhappy with what was going on in the city over the past 12 years," she said.
It also aided hecklers who shadowed Quinn, with effects.
"Speaker Quinn was barraged by individuals associated with this campaign at every campaign stop, and you cannot discount the increasing effect that it had on her own view of her campaign and the way in which she handled the issues," said Dick Dadey of Citizens Union.
Meanwhile, an advisor to both the group and City Council candidates is under investigation for violating campaign finance rules. He declined comment.
As for the horses, some insist that much of it is a front.
Two stables are in the shadow of the Javits Center, an area now called Hudson Yards. It's been recently rezoned and is ripe for major new development, the kind of which that would knock down old buildings and build much bigger ones.
"They're our enemy," said horse stable owner Cornelius Byrne. "Not because they're worried about what happens to the horses. They don't want us to own these properties in this very important developing neighborhood that Mayor Bloomberg calls the Gold Coast of New York."
"Their little conspiracy theory doesn't make sense at all," Feldman said.
Mayor Bill de Blasio has said that the ban is a top priority, but the City Council has yet to take it up this year, so at least for now, the horses trot on, unaware of the fuss.

RELEASED: Nov. 14, 2007
EAU CLAIRE — A joint celebration of the Hindu holiday of Diwali and the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah will be held at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire from 7-8:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 26, in the Council Fire Room of Davies Center.
According to Helaine Minkus, associate professor of anthropology in UW-Eau Claire's department of geography and anthropology, both holidays are festivals of light, and lighting candles and lamps is a prominent feature of both. Diwali is celebrated for five days and is one of the most important Hindu holidays, complete with prayers to the goddesses Laksmi and Kali, gift giving, and festive meals. Hanukkah is celebrated for eight days but is a minor holiday in the Jewish religious calendar.
Minkus said that although Hanukkah is not an important religious holiday, it carries an essential message that is still very relevant: each ethnic or religious group has the right to maintain its own culture and religious tradition.
Speakers will explain the cultural and religious significance of Diwali and Hanukkah. Members of both cultures who grew up in different countries will talk about how the holiday is celebrated in their homeland and what it means to them to celebrate it. Folk songs and dances will be taught.
Admission is free and all ages are invited. There will be a special area where children can play the Hanukkah game of dreidl.
The event is sponsored by UW-Eau Claire's Center for International Education, University Activities Commission, Jewish Student Association, Temple Sholom and India Abroad Association.
For further information, contact Minkus at 715-836-5481.

By Chilee Agunanna
Nigeria's undisputed King of the contemporary music scene, Innocent "2Face" Idibia, has welcomed another addition to his ever expanding family.
On Easter Sunday, 8 April Pero Adeniyi, one of the three mothers of his children, gave birth to a baby boy in the USA.
It is their third child together, and brings the total of 2Face's children to six.
2Face's camp had in January this year made public the news that Pero was expecting another baby, and entertainment buffs in the country had expected another announcement declaring her the preferred among his three "baby mamas" to become his wife.
But that wasn't to be as 2Face went on to propose to Annie Macaulay on Valentine's Day.
2Face is one of the biggest names in the Nigerian music industry.
His career spans beyond a decade counting his time with the Plantashun Boiz to his going solo. Among his many honours, is the fact that he was the first Nigerian artist to win the Best African Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2005.
The music video for his hit track, African Queen features his fiancée, Annie Macaulay, and is among the top ten greatest African songs according to the BBC.
He is currently working on a new album which will be released this year.

About Tamarindo
Tamarindo, Costa Rica, is a very popular beach destination for tourists located on the northern Pacific shore. The town offers many tours and activities as well as lazy beach days soaking up the warm sun. The town is also quite famous for its surf and surfer culture. Tamarindo is very developed and touristy to the point that in the downtown, you can easily forget that you are in Costa Rica. For an authentic Costa Rican experience, rent a bicycle, car, or motorbike for the day and ride into some of the smaller, less developed towns and soak up some culture.
The hostels in Tamarindo vary from party/resort-style hostels to family-friendly, home-style accommodation. Tamarindo hostels are mainly centrally located and within walking distance to amenities, banks and ATMs, restaurants and bars, the beach and the downtown strip. Due to the high amount of visitors, it is recommended to do some research and book accommodation before arriving.
Tamarindo can be difficult to reach without splurging on an expensive shuttle from a tour company. The roads on the Nicoya peninsula can be very slow (especially in the rainy season) and the buses can be few and far between. Without a car, you may want to spend more money on a shuttle to save time and stress.
Tamarindo, is an ideal destination for those seeking a breathtaking beach, fancy dining, and world-famous Costa Rican wildlife without losing too many of the comforts and luxuries of home in the developed world.

Following its Middle East debut in Bahrain in January, McLaren brought the P1 back to the desert for some glamour shots before the car's arrival on the market. The P1 will get a full reveal—specs and all—at the Geneva motor show in March. Until then, feast on this gallery from Autoweek of the P1 enjoying the desert sun.
The land is full of oil, sand, sheiks, princes, sultans and an amazing amount of car enthusiasts. Every supercar maker stops there with something new, knowing a few sales are guaranteed. Ferrari, Lamborghini and Bugatti have done it, now it's the McLaren P1's turn.
Details are still scarce on the car. Rumors have it using a twin-turbo V8 or V10, definitely making more than 700 hp, and possibly more than 900.
The body debuted last September at the Paris motor show. The P1 is the second model in the company's growing line, joining the MP4-12C. Engine details were not immediately revealed, but the production car is expected to be shown in Geneva, according to Autoweek.
While the P1 will be blindingly fast, it will also focus on handling and agility.
To keep weight low, the P1 makes extensive use of carbon fiber in the cabin—for the instrument panel, floor, headliner, doors, rocker panels and even the housing for the electronic gauge cluster.
The steering wheel is modeled on units used in McLaren race cars. It is covered in Alcantara and uses carbon fiber inserts. "McLaren P1 secrets revealed prior to Geneva motor show debut" originally appeared on Autoweek.com

Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. (NYSE:BUD.DL)
The Company's operations are comprised of the following principal business segments: domestic beer, international beer, packaging, and entertainment.
A re-up.
In the words of a Tom T. Hall song, "I like beer."
BUD's trading at a fwd PE of 14.5, with profit and operating margins of 12.5 and 17% respectively. Analysts estimate a 5-yr growth rate of 8.2%. The current dividend yield is 2.7%. I'm pretty sure there's no sub-prime mortgage or complicated collateralized debt risk here.
BUD's not going to shoot the lights out, but people will keep drinking beer regardless of what's going on with the economy, credit markets, or private equity. In the current volatile market, many investors will be looking for something stable with earnings they can count on. BUD fits that description. The dividend yield is also high enough to be competitive with treasuries, so should have some support from income investors.
Ended pick due to buy out offer from InBev. I may have left a few points on the table if the offer goes through, but it's cheap insurance against the deal blowing up.

10 Best Vehicles for the End of the World
Nuclear winter. Worldwide economic collapse. Zombie takeover. We all have a favorite apocalyptic situation that we occasionally find ourselves pondering. One very important question: What vehicle do you want as your trusty steed?
By James Tate
Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ
Once service stations have become ghostly ruins and your local mechanic has joined the walking dead, reliability will be the name of the game. And the 1990s Grand Cherokee was hard to killask anyone who has ever owned one. It wasn't particularly pretty or aerodynamic or quick, but the Grand was all kinds of tough. For well under $10,000 (and in many cases under $5000) you can grab one of these gems from the 1993 to 1998 model years. The ZJ is a cheap four-wheel-drive option that is easy to service and for which you'll have no trouble finding spare parts, as they are absolutely everywhere. They may not have the bulky, intimidating looks of the military-derived SUVs, but the Grand Cherokee will be there for you and treat you as well as you treat it. Scratch thatit'll treat you far better than you treat it.

Windows 7 Professional x64
Disk Cleanup system files, Safe?
Was trying to optimize my computer with this thread, Disk Cleanup - Open and Use
I cleared my unnecessary non-system files, but Im worried about clearing my unnecessary system files, as it doesnt really say what its gonna delete.
The things Im worried about are stuff that I installed into the windows and system32 directory, some video codec .dlls, audacity/goldwave libraries, photoshop/after effects plugins, visual basic/.net framework files
So my question is
what will disk cleanup delete?
Will those that I listed be affected in anyway?
and how much does it normally free? (if its below 1gb Im probably gonna skip it)
does it fix errors or makes my comp faster in anyway or just save up space?
Thanks in advance

In previous iterations of windows I used to do this manually. For the last 2 + years I have used this feature without incident. If you choose system files service pack backup file(s) will be deleted and this could free up 500 + MB. None of your listed files will be zapped. Only space will be freed up AFA I know. The first time I ran it and used the system file option I did do a full system image just in case of problems but I have not run into any many months later.

Help with DNS configuration (understanding DNS setup)
Hello everyone. Recently, I set up a ISPConfig on a server and I had a couple of questions regarding the DNS setup. I'm new to this, and I just want to understand how the interface/system works.
I want to have two DNS servers:
I want all of the sites that I install to resolve to those name servers. From what I guess, it seems like all I have to do is setup two master servers with those addresses right? I can't tell if this is right or not though. What happens when I add new.domain.com? Is that information saved on ns1 & ns2? I've been looking for a simple sort of "understanding ISPConfig DNS" but haven't found anything.
Thanks for your help.

This ceremony celebrates the end of the first year of didactic studies in the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program, encouraging students as they prepare for the program's clinical component. Some programs have a "White Coat" ceremony at this point in the program, when students are about to don their clinical garb and step out into the real world of clinical practice. But the UW DNP students are already nurses, and most have already been working in the clinical setting (with or without a "white coat"). So the ceremony was named "The Willow Ceremony". The willow, according to a poem penned by School of Nursing namesake Fay W. Whitney, "is symbolic of what nurses have always been. They grow, they bend, they last." Dr. Whitney, Dr. Peter Buerhaus, and Mike Massie were among the speakers stepping forth with encouragement and exhortation for the students. Special awards were presented to community partners as noted in the summary sections below. Please read on.
The 2014 ceremony included noteworthy speakers and the presentation of awards as follows:

Being pregnant just six short months after adopting has brought up a lot of new thoughts about Eli's first mom. What was her pregnancy like? Was she sick a lot? Did her heart smile the first time she felt him move? Or was she sad? Overwhelmed?
And of course, that leads to questions about Eli as a baby...questions I'll never have answered.
I am forever and inexplicably linked to this woman. This first mother of my son. The one who carried him and birthed him and nursed him. And loved him. I have no doubt of the motivating factor behind her decisions.
I traced the outline of her hand in my journal when we met in Ethiopia.
I wanted a physical and tangible reminder of my responsibility to her.
To take care of our son.
To protect him.
And, mostly, to love him.

'Obamacare' sign ups begin amid government shutdown
White House outlines health benefits for African Americans
By Hazel Trice Edney
Trice Edney Newswire
The Affordable Health Care Act (ACA) became law amid desperate political acts to stop it from happening — including a Republican-led government shutdown, which could last for days, weeks or even longer.
The Republican-led Congress allowed the closure of non-essential services of the U. S. Government beginning Oct. 1, in attempt to force the President to delay the effects of the health care law. The President has refused.
Some parts of the ACA are already in effect, but this week, Americans can begin signing up for full benefits by going to a recently created Web site, HeathCare.gov, to review the Health Insurance Marketplace. This Web site offers plans of competing insurance agencies and helps guide people to the best insurance choices.
Republicans in the House of Representatives argue that the ACA is too expensive for small businesses, although businesses with less than 50 employees are exempt. Republicans continued their attempts to defund what they call "Obamacare," but none of the political moves would pass the Democratically-led Senate. Even if they succeed, President Obama has promised a veto.
The ACA sign up, which started Oct. 1, is encouraged by President Obama, despite government closures.
"The Affordable Care Act is moving forward. That funding is already in place. You can't shut it down," he told reporters in a briefing Sept. 30. "This is a law that passed both houses of Congress; a law that bears my signature; a law that the Supreme Court upheld as constitutional; a law that voters chose not to repeal last November."
The White House recently released a detailed report listing the benefits of the ACA to African Americans.
Those benefits include:
– Beginning in 2014, the Affordable Care Act will provide 6.8 million uninsured African Americans an opportunity to get affordable health insurance coverage.
– Already, an estimated 7.3 million African Americans with private insurance now have access to expanded preventive services with no cost sharing. These services include well-child visits, blood pressure and cholesterol screenings, Pap tests and mammograms for women, and flu shots for children and adults.
– The 4.5 million elderly and disabled African Americans who receive health coverage from Medicare also have access to many preventive services with no cost-sharing, including annual wellness visits with personalized prevention plans, diabetes and colorectal cancer screening, bone mass measurement and mammograms
– More than 500,000 young African American adults between ages 19 and 25, who would otherwise have been uninsured, now have coverage under their parent's employer-sponsored or individually purchased health plan.
– Major federal investments to improve quality of care are improving management of chronic diseases more prevalent among African Americans.
– The health care workforce will be more diverse due to a near tripling of the National Health Service Corps. African American physicians make up about 17 percent of Corps physicians, a percentage that greatly exceeds their 6 percent share of the national physician workforce.
– Investments in data collection and research will help establish greater clarity on the causes of health care disparities and develop effective programs to eliminate them.
– Targeted interventions, such as community transformation grants, will promote healthy lifestyles, lower health care costs and reduce health disparities.
– Increased funding available to more than 1,100 community health centers will increase the number of patients served. One of every five patients at a health center is African American.
– States have new opportunities to expand Medicaid coverage to include Americans with family incomes at or below 133 percent of the federal poverty level (generally $31,322 for a family of four in 2013). This expansion includes adults without dependent children living at home, who have not previously been eligible in most states.
As the ACA takes effect, factions of Congress continued to wrangle over budgetary matters with hopes to reopen the government as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the President has made it clear the ACA is non-negotiable as he outlined the effects of the government shutdown.
"If the United States Congress does not fulfill its responsibility to pass a budget today, much of the United States government will be forced to shut down tomorrow," President Obama said Monday. "And I want to be very clear about what that shutdown would mean — what will remain open and what will not."
He first ticked off the services that will continue:
– If you're on Social Security, you will keep receiving your checks.
– If you're on Medicare, your doctor will still see you.
– Everyone's mail will still be delivered.
– Government operations related to national security or public safety will go on.
– Military troops will continue to serve and will be paid.
– Air traffic controllers, prison guards, those who are with border control will remain on their posts, but their paychecks will be delayed until the government reopens.
Then, he listed the shutdowns.
– NASA will shut down almost entirely, but Mission Control will remain open to support the astronauts serving on the Space Station.
– Office buildings would close. Paychecks would be delayed.
– Several hundred thousand workers will be immediately and indefinitely furloughed without pay.
– Some vital services that seniors and veterans, women and children, businesses and the economy depend on "would be hamstrung," the President said. Those services include some programs that provide health meals to 2.5 million seniors; compensation, pension and education benefits for veterans and nutrition assistance to mothers with young children.
– Business owners would see delays in raising capital, seeking infrastructure permits, or rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy.
– Veterans support centers will go unstaffed.
– Federal tourist destinations, such as national parks, monuments, including the Smithsonian and the Statue of Liberty, will be closed. Cleanup crews and concession workers will also be laid off.
These closures will affect "communities and small businesses that rely on these national treasures for their livelihoods will be out of customers," said Obama. He appeared especially concerned about how the shutdown will affect furloughed people already fighting a struggling economy.
"What, of course, will not be furloughed are the bills that they have to pay — their mortgages, their tuition payments, their car notes," the President said.

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.

Whistler, B.C. – With only 1 month to go until the TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival, Whistler is snow-soaked and raring to go. Showing the world why we're the number one North American ski resort is our favorite pastime, and we revel in the immense amount of talent that Whistler breeds, and attracts. A perfect example is the multimedia competitions at the festival. As the preeminent action sports photography contest in the world, the OLYMPUS Pro Photographer Showdown is an unparalleled celebration of still images and of the commitment shown to build a body of work that captures time and captivates the human spirit. Photographers from around the globe were invited to submit a 3 minute slideshow of their chosen photographs, of which 5 have risen to the top as the 2012 TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival Pro Photographer finalists. This year's submissions included a mixed bag of snowboarding, skiing, surfing, mountain biking, skateboarding and BMX photography, and were judged by a selection committee comprised of key industry figures. The five finalists all receive $1500 as an appearance fee, and will duke it out on April 19th at the Whistler Conference Centre, when they each present a 9 minute slideshow of their life's work, set to music. The sold out event is a festival favorite, and the audiences involvement comes in the way of the People's Choice Award, an audience voted bonus prize of $1000 to one of the finalists. The specially chosen judging panel of industry experts will select the Best in Show winner, and the grand prize is a staggering $10,000. Past winners have included such pictorial superstars as Jordan Manley (2009), Brian Beilmann (2010) and Blake Jorgenson (2011).

His photography style was molded from years of deep snow, reeling ocean perfection and the characters that told the tale along the way and as a Brooks Institute graduate, Surfer Magazine freelancer at large and co-instigator for getinthevan.com, Nevins has experienced the art of photography from all angles.
CAMILLA STODDART - camillastoddartphotography.com Raised in Scotland, Stoddart was part of a keen skier family after 4 years at a top London Art School, studying Theatre Design, she shunned the city life and fled to the mountains in search of snow. Ending up in Wanaka, New Zealand, with no real intentions to become a photographer, she candidly brought her much-loved camera to the snow and started taking photos of friends as a way to document the trips. Meeting the right people at the right time paved the way for Stoddarts first published photographs and suddenly she found herself on the back end of 9 back-to-back winters between Verbier, Switzerland and Wanaka, NZ. Deciding to try out a summer for size, Wanaka was the ultimate rejuvenation location and she tried her hand in at photographing other action sports such as mountain biking and BASE Jumping. Currently residing in NZ, she is enjoying the variety of lifestyle and photography opportunities that the island provides.

SCOTT SERFAS - scottserfas.com In the world of professional snowboarding, Scott Serfas is one of the most prolific photographers on the scene. With over 20 Transworld SNOWboarding (TWS) covers to his credit and countless pro athlete careers launched through his lens, to say Serfas is influential on the snow scene is an understatement.
His success hasn't just been in the snow universe. In the past year Serfas has won the Commercial Photo of the Year from American Photo Magazine and a TWS Cover he shot was recognized as a winning photo in PDN's (Photo District News) Great Outdoors Photo Contest. However, it will likely be Serfas' role as principal photographer for the highly acclaimed film "The Art of Flight," that will launch his snowy images onto the mainstream stage.
