WF1 Kaz Wicking Filter
Very Good Filter for the money.
No package
These filters will work great in my unit. I was a bit disappointed to see them arrive unpackaged. Fortuneately, these will be used by me and I hadn't ordered them for someone else. I would prefer to see these items shipped at least in an individual plastic bag to keep them clean until they are actually used.
Good product so far.

I bought a KAZ humidifier years ago when my son was born. I have to say that it is the only humidifier that has stood the test of time. I have since that time purchased two others, one was a Hunter and not sure of the other brand, that have failed. My oldest one, the KAZ, is still working great! I always purchased the replacement filters from KAZ to ensure that I get the best quality.
Product review
Very good product and excellent service. This is my secnd time ordering this product.
The felxiblity of this filter is great.
Youu product is very good and your service the best...
Great product
We use this humidifier all winter. Keeps some moisture in the air, change filters regularly for clean air. Great product, reasonable price.
Excellent filters
Excellent filters, works great. Good value for the money. Shipping was very quick.
not as pictured
I purchased this filter with the exact #listed on our humidifyer. They came as 2 straight pieces not circles. I have had to cut them to fit and though they work the trimming to fit ruined my scissors.
WF1-2 Filters
Hey Kaz,
Thanks for having these available :)
They arrived promptly, and are working great!

WF1 filters
I am so glad to be able to purchase these WF1 filters through your on-line company, as it is impossible to find them in the retail stores.
Replacement wicking filter
I have installed the filteer and it is working well.
It Works Fine
I was having problems finding the filter for my KAZ humidifier locally, so I checked their web site & they had just what I needed. I ordered 2 sets & received them in good time.
They work fine
These filters don't seem to be the same quality as when I originally bought the Kaz Humidifier several years ago, but they work fine.
WF1 Wicking Filters
These KAZ WF1 Wicking Filters are long lasting and an exact fit every time. I always like to buy 4 at once because they are no longer available at Retail Outlets in my area.
good filter
This filter is hard to find and I am glad you carry it. THANKS FOR YOUR PROMPT SERVICE.
WF1 FiltersFilters were top quality as always and arrived quickly.
WF1 Filter Order
The order arrived here after only 4 days since I placed it.! Good job with shipping! I am glad to be able to order wicking filters for my 10+ year old model 3300 which still works just fine.
Each time I install a new wick, I have to take special care that when I replace the top onto the base the fan housing fits into the inside of the ring formed by the top of the wick. This takes some adjustment of the top inch or so of the wick so that its inner surface flares slightly outward and out of the way of the fan housing when the top is placed on the base of the humidifier.
In practice I fill the humidifier only to about half way because it seems to run more efficiently at raising the humidity in my bedroom than when beginning with a full humidifer.
KAZ filterFilter fit very well and worked well
recent purchse
I got my order promply and very happy with your service...Thank you
Glad to Find Them
This size filter for humidifiers is becoming rather difficult to find locally. Thank goodness Kaz.com still carries them. I have had this unit for many years and it still works great - as long as I can locate filters. Thank you for continuing to carry this size.
Protec Filter
Great for actually cooling your room. Seem to itch less with filtered air. Lasts forever, (well, about 6mos per filter) Buying from Kaz online is easy, though they did get the order wrong once- The upside is phone customer service was actually available, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They sent me the replacement filters with no additional charges. Cool.
WF1 Kaz Wicking Filter
Easy to install and durable so that you can keep a few on hand so you're ready to replace when needed. Consistent quality at a fair price.
Kas filter
This is the best filter for the besthumidifier I've ever had. Recommend it to everyone!
My new filters were "just what the doctor ordered"! My wife purchased the humidifier on the clearance rack of a local retailer. When it came time to replace the filters I could not find them at any of the local stores including the store we bought the humidifier from!
Then I decided to see what I could find online and that's when I discovered kaz.com We are so thankful for your prompt, courteous service. Now we never have to worry about filter replacemates again!
WF1 Wicking Filter
I always buy the WF1 Extended Life wicking filter, which lasts around 2 months for me, under constant use. These fit well into my KAZ Humidifier. for which they were designed. They are not available to me through local retail outlets, but the price I get from KAZ always beats that of the Retails, when they did carry them. My advice is to buy in multiples so you have them available when needed. Excellent product, and fast delivery by KAZ.
KAZ Filter
The Kaz filter was received in a timely manner, in perfect condition. The humidifier is over 10 years old and still works perfectly -- just need to purchase filters.
Kaz Review
Great [product---I have been using my Kaz humidifier for many years.
t is quiet and effective. Great customereservice on re-ordering filters.
Great product
These are great replacement filters. My Mom uses this humidifier every day for the past 7 years. It's easy to order and receive replacements. I highly recommend KAZ products.
Perfect Replacement
Just as advertised, this product is a perfect replacement for the humidifier that I have. Thanks!
Wicking Filters
The wicking filters came quickly in the mail. I was a little confused, though, because the wicking filters that I had before were in circles (like the one pictured on the website). The one I received was just a straight line of filter. I had to wrap it around itself. No big deal since I've had them before, but just thought it was strange.
WF1 wicking filter
Basically does the trick, but it sometimes splinters a bit.
Fast delivery, good qualiity
No complaints. I received the order quickly and in tact. The filter works as intended.
I received my order & I was surprised that the filter I ordered was just laying in the box with no label or information, etc.
hard to find item
I have a humidifier that is many years old, and cannot find these filters anywhere locally. Years ago, I called Kaz and they allowed me to order these right over the phone. Now I receive emails and can order online. The filters got to me really quickly and the online ordering is so simple.
Great website and filters
I have an older Kaz and Ithought I might not be able to find the filter for it but I did. Thank you so much.
humidifier filter for model 3000
The filter works great. However, I was not happy with the packaging. I ordered four filters. The edges were all bent up when I received because the box was too big and the items shifted around during shipping. I was still able to use the filters, but would be nice if they packaged better so I would haven't to hassle with trying to straighten out the kinks.
We have been using the WF-1 filters for a number of years. We began buying them online when our local outlets quit carrying them. We have not yet worn out the humidifier that uses them.
review of wf1 filteras
Have used these for years and they are just great.

very good thanks
Filter purchase
Quick and efficient service.
Not For Whip Lash
I live in an area of the country where Walmart's is a sixty-mile round trip...and that is the largest retailer in the area! So, I depend upon them for many necessities. One of which is replacement parts for my humidifer...another necessity in the winter. They let me down. But your website did not. Besides water, my humidifer needs a filter and this one is the recommended replacement. Ordering on line was easy, convenient, and a time saver. Thank you.
Filter for older humidifier
simple item, does the job at reasonable cost. Easy to install.
It is working well, however, there are newer models that don't require a filter.
humidifier filter
What can one say about a humidifier filter? It was fine.
Great filter
I was unable to purchase this filter in my local store, as they only sell filters for the humidifiers that they are currently selling. My humidifier works fine and I only needed new filters so that I can continue to use my machine. I am really glad that kaz has the filter for my humidifier and ordering was easy and my order came in no time. Thanks again for a great product and service!
This was great,they don't sell them in the stores here.
It came in a timely manner, cost what was expected, and works fine. Thank you. I will look to you in the future.
Replacement filters
As before your company had the right filter, it was in stock, and you shipped it quickly.
Thank you,
David Guthrie
Works great. Good price.
Much less expensive than in the stores.
Happy you still sell this product because the actual appliance can not be purchased any more
a good value and a discount email came the day I needed to order.
KAZ Wicking Filters
I find it easy and convenient to order my KAZ Wicking Filters directly from the KAZ Website. And it's much cheaper than Retail.....if you can find them. My filters arrived quickly and in good order. Even with S&H, the price is much better than Retail, in my area of Pennsylvania.
Product ordered was received within less than time expected. Filter was exactly the item I needed and ordered.
order was exactly as specified
Kaz humidifier wick/filter
Filter was the perfect size and easy to install. Also helps to take the minerals out of the water.
WF1 Kaz wicking filter
I was very happy with the product, especially since I have been unable to find them in the stores lately. I was suprised that they came in one box without the standard store type box, but was glad because I didn't have two more boxes to recycle. Will surely buy again! LG
Kaz humidifier filters are very good and reusable also. Price is reasonable and I purchase several each timed I place an order. I have emphesyma and need the moist air to help with my breatinng.
Thanks for this great product guys.

Have not used the filters you sent us as of this date. We have been very pleased with your products in the past and see no reason for concern about the new purchase.

This filter works well, it retains its shape more with the addition of the aluminum weave.

These filters work very well
WF1 Wicker Humidifier Filter
Ordering your filter was a blessing because we had tried several local businesses that were suppose to carry the product, i.e. Lowes, Home Depot, Target, etc., and they did not have it on hand. We then decided to order the product from you. The filter seems to be working well and we will probably have to reorder again soon just to keep a good supply of the product since where we reside our climate is pleasant but very dry (we live in the Southwestern part of the country).
Thanks for helping out.
I am extremely pleased with my filters from KAZ. We got a humidifier at a yard sale but didn't have any filters for it so we ordered two filters from KAZ and they arrived promptly and we are very happy with our purchase. Our KAZ humidifier is whisper quiet and works extremely well.
Air Machine Filters
Just what I had been looking for! Have this site bookmarked now for future purchases. Thank you!
great filter
These filters seem better than the orignal filter I had in my humidifier. They have a built-in steel mesh which helps the filter retain its shape and not droop. They also seem to wick the water very well. The wicking is sometimes a problem area for these types of mesh filters, but these work very well.
Fast shipping , perfect fit and didn't have to buy a new humdifier just because I had no filter.
Kaz wicking filter
Walmart used to sell the filters, but now I can only buy thru you.
fast service
Using the filter finder is easy and shipping is fast.
humidifier filters
I own three mist humidifiers for my bedroom, but only one is my favorite. The others are either too loud or too awkward to use - but I couldn't find replacement filters for it until I went online. The Kaz filters arrived quicker than I expected and fit perfectly. The site is easy to use and I like that there are opportunities for me to find discounts for the products I want. This time I ordered the 2-pack but next time I will order the the larger quantity. Thanks for making the filters available. Oh yes, while going through your wegsite looking for my filters, I found another product which I ordered - the large size heat pad.

Review of product
the product is good the price is too high.
Great Find
I cannot buy these filters anywhere locally or can they order them, so whenever I need to reorder, I know I can get them direct for KAZ.
Humidfier filters
The humidfier filters were easy to order from your website and are exactly what I needed. They are also easy to replace.
works well

Our time at jungle studio was great overall. I would definitely rent it again. Having a spacious terrace was a huge advantage for me personally because I don't like to go to the beach during the hottest time, so I just spent afternoons at the terrace relaxing. We saw a sloth very close twice! There is no a/c but three fans are good enough. In the previous reviews I read about ants, it is true, you shouldn't leave any food outside of the fridge. Bringing ziplock bags for food might be a good idea. Otherwise there will be ants invasion. Internet is very spotty and slow, so we were mostly using it in the restaurants. The studio is on the hill, so if you don't rent a car you can take a 3-min bus to the beach. The same bus goes to the nearby town - Quepos.
This studio is great if you want a peaceful and relaxing vacation time and don't constantly need Internet. You'll have a private entrance to the property.
Laundry is available at the nearby hotel (Vilas Nicolas) for $20.
Very relaxing place to come back to after a day of exploring. The patio was very nice and really enjoyed the visits from the monkeys coming through the trees. Clean, comfortable with good amount of utensils for cooking. I also enjoyed the use of the pool. As well, I was happy there were plenty of restaurants and a grocery store with in walking distance.
Out of all the rooms I booked for my Costa Rica trip, I was the most excited about this one. It turned out to be just okay.
The Pros: The location is fantastic and the family of howler monkeys living outside our front porch was a stand-out experience. The shower is nice and big with hot water and the bed was relatively comfortable. Great large, clean refrigerator/freezer and good TV. The little couch area was nice for napping. Semi-private entrance/front patio was nice. (The entrance is where the hammock and lawn chairs are.) They allowed us all the amenities of the hotel like renting beach towels, pool, and booking tours.
The Cons: The room itself was grimy and felt like a dorm/hostel with run down furniture and florescent lighting. I shouldn't have expected more for the low price, but the pictures made me believe otherwise. The kitchen had ants and the previous occupant left a cereal box and bag a sugar in the microwave. Bugs were all around, coming in through the walls and some had made homes in the corners. No a/c, but there are two ceiling fans. Take a cold shower before bed and you'll be fine. The wi-fi was very, very spotty and we went without it most of the time. This apartment is next to the Villa Nicholas Hotel, but it's not apart of it. The room is owned by the hotel manager, I believe. Next time I'd rather just book with the hotel. We just never really felt comfortable or clean in this room, but it worked out just fine and pushed us to spend all of our time exploring Manual Antonio.
Not a bad way to go, just remember it is a "jungle" studio and don't expect much else.
I hate to write a great review, because this place was so amazing that I don't want anyone else to know about it in fear that it will be taken the next time we want to stay! The Villas Nicolas staff could not have been more helpful, nice or accommodating through every aspect of our trip there. We were most impressed with the studio/apartment, however. We were upgraded to a different one (Studio 1) because the people staying in our original location wanted to stay a bit longer. The place was just AMAZING. Absolutely beautiful and exactly what we had in mind when staying in the midst of the jungle and ocean. All wood and glass with an exquisite deck and everything you could possibly need. We cooked every day and had everything we needed to make full meals, as well as towels, candles, books, you name it. We even had the cleaning staff come and check on us and offer us fresh linens. Whilst lounging on our deck, we enjoyed the plethora of birds in the trees, the monkeys swinging through and snacking, the toucan nest in the tree beside us and the adorable agouti foraging below. We could see the ocean and hear the waves, and even in the afternoon rain, it was a complete pleasure to relax on the deck. There is also air conditioning in the unit we stayed in, which made sleeping that much more comfortable. We didn't go swimming at the pool, but we checked it out and it was clean and beautiful, and there is a lovely little wine bar right next to it. I have nothing negative to say about our stay. It went beyond our expectations!
Great location! We could walk to mostly everything and we had Howler monkeys, Tucans, Squirrel Monkeys, and Capuchin monkeys right outside our door!
It was awesome. We stayed here off season, had the beautiful pool to ourselves and hardly saw other guests. The studio is very private and we often saw monkeys come by. It was just the perfect quiet place for our getaway.
The staff speaks perfect English and helped us with all the tours and activities we wanted to do. Would definitely go back!
This is the final rate, including any fees from the host and Airbnb.

Question by sherpamelissa 18837 · Jan 07 '11 at 01:54 PM · paleo fat
Adding fat to my diet is a new phenomenon to me. I've bought the Kerrygold, have a jar for my bacon fat, which sits right next to my jar of organic coconut oil. I am a food tracker, for a variety of reasons, so what I've been trying to do is get my fat to about 50% of my calories for the day. This works out to be about 75/100 grams per day.
I am just curious as to what other people are eating. Hard facts are good, but just a description of how you add fat to your meals each day is also perfect!

Answer by PaleoGran 3950 · Jan 07 '11 at 02:36 PM
I only eat animal fats, as I am keen to have their nutrients. I find beef fat especially nourishing and satiating. Pastured butter is also useful, and some cream. Wild salmon, cod liver oil, and egg yolks "sit" ever so well and seem to provide things vital, as well as occasional liver. If I leave out any of these, I can tell something is missing. I eat what seems to be the right thing for each meal, rather than having an arbitrary, pre-determined menu plan.
To put the fat in context, in case the information is of use:
I eat ca. 20-30 total carbs (not net) per day, which I watch closely. Protein range is 50 - 80 grams per day (of protein grams, not meat weight). The rest of the calories are fat. I don't count the grams of fat. By keeping the carbs at that level, and not going too low or too high with the protein, the amount of fat needed for satiety is easy to gauge. The carbs are divided for each meal, fewer at breakfast. (Dr. Richard Bernstein explains the chemistry of this plan of carbs in his book, "The Diabetes Solution", which I highly recommend, even if one is not diabetic. I do not have diabetes, but found his recommendations immensely helpful, although I eat fewer carbs than his recommended 30.)
On some days, the fat might be 65% of the food, and on other days, much higher.
I am over 55 and slender.
Foods I eat:
Beef, beef fat, liver, chicken liver, fish, egg yolks, pastured butter, cream (mostly as yoghurt), low starch vegetables, herbs. Occasional lemons, olives, and in the summers: cucumbers and a few berries.
I never eat foods not in my plan.
Foods I do not eat:
Grains, sweets/sugars of any kind, legumes, nuts/seeds or their oils, nightshades, sweet fruits, chocolate/cocoa, coffee, alcohol, artificial anything, prepared/packaged foods.
N. B.: For those reading this who are new to evolutionary nutrition:
I have found it immeasurably helpful to follow what Dr. Kurt Harris says, that a healthy metabolic milieu is maintained by the unhealthy things we leave out.
He states this again in his most recent blog entry, in a comment to Phil W., after the blog post:
This way of eating is a lifetime choice for me.
ETA: Steve asked a couple of questions in the comments which might be important. I don't drink coffee because I've never been a coffee drinker. Have tried it some over the years and it makes me feel "awful", as though I've been poisoned. (I drink tea in the morning, no flavorings, just a bit of cream, butter, and/or beef fat in it. The Tibetans are inspiring!)
I don't eat chocolate/cocoa because I am allergic. Perhaps it is the alkaloids. It is not important to me, so I haven't bothered to find out. I don't eat egg whites due to allergies. I don't miss them. Egg yolks are grand!
I don't eat nuts due to the phytic acid. Explanation is in the comments. If I can answer something else, I will try. :)
I hope this is of help. Best wishes to all with your food plans.
These comment boxes only allow short answers. I suspect the allergy to chocolate/cocoa could be the alkaloids. I am also sensitive to things high in salicylates. The Failsafe Diet blog has helped me greatly.
Thank you, Steve, and Melissa, for your kind words.If I can answer something else, I will try.
Answer by Eliz 1820 · Jan 07 '11 at 02:18 PM
Oh gosh, I would have no idea how to get my fat that LOW, haha! Mine is usually at least 60% of calories if not more. I basically just cook everything in butter or lard, never drain fat from the pan, dress all my veggies. If I feel like a pan of food is too low fat I'll just add a big spoonful of a flavor appropriate one or I'll make some veggies or tubers to go with and cover them in butter. I also thicken sauces with butter. I think I'm made out of butter at this point.
Answer by Casey 1 7905 · Jan 07 '11 at 02:23 PM
I'm averaging about 60-70g (about 50% of my intake) per day and am managing a fairly quick fat loss.
I used to average about 100g/day (about 70% of my intake) and had a decent fat loss, but not very quick.
For comparison I generally try to keep my carbs around 10-15% of my intake, but will occasionally indulge in some root vegetables and fruit - but not often.
I'm also tracking, because I was curious AND I wanted to see how tweaking things might affect the rate at which I've been losing fat. Like Deidre, I also use LoseIt (anyone else here? Let's be friends!)
I get my fat by using butter and bacon grease liberally, choose fatty meats (usually) - ground chuck, ground lamb, and I'm not shy about making a heavy cream-based sauce - dijon cream, hollendaise, etc (see here for my recipes). If I steam vegetables, I'll finish them off in a saute pan with butter and/or bacon grease.
Hope that helps!
Answer by Jack Mac 312 · Jan 13 '11 at 04:00 AM
For 10 yrs was on an Ornish/Pritikin pescatarian diet, roughly 10% fat, 15-20% protein, 75% carbs.
Went very strict Paleo 6mos ago: no gluten or grains of any kind, no sugars, processed foods, legumes, dairy, eggs, nuts, seeds, nightshades, alcohol, caffeine, and fruit limited mostly to berries.
fat comes from pastured meats, wild caught fish [mostly canned salmon, jack mack, sardines, anchovy] offal, coconut oil/milk/cream/butter, etc, red palm oil, olive oil, fish oil, cod liver oil, lots of avocado. I use so much coconut and red palm oil that I buy them in 5 gal tubs.
I'm sure on many days my saturated fat intake is over 50% of calories. Previously it was closer to 0-1%.
Answer by rob 4 1586 · Jan 07 '11 at 05:31 PM
I consume about 200-300 grams of fat almost daily.
Answer by Domer88 1584 · Jan 07 '11 at 08:14 PM
it varies for me, but I get over 50% of my calories from fat. I'm not a very low carber, since I've concluded we should get about 30% of our calories from carbs, but I'm not fixated on the exact amount of carbs.
My biggest adjustment has been embracing the fat. I try to eat enough fat, and then let protein and carbs make up the balance. Protein usually takes care of itself, because my favorite sources of fat often have some great protein along for the ride. Now when I eat a steak, I don't trim away the fat like I used to. I eat the whole darn thing. Yum! When I make bacon, I don't carefully dry each piece on a paper towel. Now I eat them dripping with grease. And I cook my eggs in much of the leftover grease rather than draining it off.
But I still have to fight off that little voice that whispers that fat is bad. That comes from 20 years of conditioning. It's mostly gone, but I still catch myself starting to cut fat away sometimes.

I am also a tracker too. I use the LOSEIT app. I track because I am a little OCD and even though I am paleo, I haven't had the greatest results yet. I think that it is hormones, and I will continue to plug away. Love how I feel without grains and lots of carbs. My fat% varies between 45% and 60%. I use coconut oil, bacon grease, fatty meats, and a small amount of nuts and seeds. I love fat and don't fear it at all. My fear are the carbs, so I eat fat and protein liberally, with a lot of fat coming with the protein.
Answer by Steve 7 492 · Jan 07 '11 at 02:44 PM
I have fat with both my meals, although I do not count calories. I workout regularly and I am very lean.
Here's a typical/example day:
Breakfast: 4 eggs scrambled with heavy cream and cooked in ghee or coconut oil, plus a copuple of pieces of pork sausage, bacon, or steak. I also have a few veggies (sometimes fresh as crudites and sometimes cooked). Once in a while, I will also have a little fruit (e.g., single slice of orange or apple, or a few berries).
Dinner: Ground beed (1/2 pound paddy) topped with bacon and pepperjack cheese, accompanied with a small veggie salad with olive oil & cheese. Once in a while I will also have a small bowl of frozen fruit with heavy cream.
I exercise 4 to 5 times per week, and the fat fuels my workouts.
4x/wk: 30 min. of weights + 10-to-20 minutes of cardio.
1 or 2x/wk: Interval training, swim or run (8-to-12 45 sec hard intervals).
Answer by Andy 1 1145 · Jan 07 '11 at 05:47 PM
I've been tracking on fitday. As an example, yesterday was:
~2700 calories 53% fat (22 sat%, 22% mono, 7% poly) Carbs 23% (yesterday was a strength training day and I'm doing the post workout sweet potato thing) Protein 22%

Did you mean?Try your search again
From Las Vegas to Bryce Canyon,how long it will take me?
I live in Salt Lake, and have friends coming to visit in September 2014. We are staying up at PCMR, and I am looking for ideas as to activities, etc. I can't find any festival, etc. calendars out for that far ahead. Any ideas, anyone? Thanks in advance.
My husband will be going to Moab for a conference and I'm helping with the travel itinerary.
We fly from out of state and I wonder if there is a major airport closer than Salt Lake City (yes, I am doing more research on this myself, now, too) --
Also, once we get to the major airport of choice, what is the best driving route to get into Moab?
Hi there,
I am planning a trip for September 2014 for 2 weeks, we are a French couple in our 40's. we would like to mix our holidays with some hiking and then some rest /visiting the southern coast of California. We know pretty well Northern California. In France we are based in the French Alps.
I have a main itinerary in mind but would appreciate few pointers to adjust the logistic/itinerary.
First week we would like to concentrate our visit to Zion Park & Bryce, couple of days each to have a fair amount of time for hiking.
Then we would like to drive off from Las Vegas to L.A and possibly go down to San Diego.
So first question : I was wondering if I should take a flight from Paris to Las Vegas or Salt lake city ?
Looking at the map if I we start off from Las vegas, we would drive up to Zion and Bryce and go back down by more or less the same route. Would it be more interesting to land in Salt lake and drive down to Zion, Bryce and then to Las vegas etc ...
Secondly : 1 week ish would be sufficient to visit the coast from Santa Barbara to San Diego ? ( not having to rush around)
Are we trying to fit too many things or drive too much over two weeks ?
Many thanks in advance for your ideas !

Curry scored 557 points this season, averaging just under 20 points a game. He had 56 steals and was a remarkable 81.3 percent shooter from the foul line.
Curry, who will best be remembered for four last second shots for wins this season against Saks, Spring Garden, Alexandria in regular season and Alexandria in the area tournament, all away games, is excited to be playing for Snead.
"I went up on a visit before the basketball season started," said Curry," and I liked their facilities. I built a good relationship with the coaches and I toured the campus and it seemed like they had some nice classrooms."
Curry made his decision to go to Snead over William Carey University in Mississippi. "Me and my family talked about it, prayed about it and I decided that would be the best thing for me," said Curry.
Curry says that many factors played into his becoming the basketball player that he is. "A lot of people kept me on track. Staying in the gym I always had somebody who wanted to play basketball or go workout with me.
"The teachers, coaches and my friends were always positive and helped me out."
Former JHS basketball coach Anthony Kingston saw potential from Curry right from the start. "I knew him way back when he played PARD at the Jacksonville Community Center," said Kingston.
"He's been a gym rat, a hard worker, always wanting to get better. Just to see his progression from the sixth grade to varsity is extraordinary.
"It goes to show what hard work, determination, and a willingness to succeed will do for someone," commented Kingston.
Jay Welborn, head basketball coach at Snead State, says he was first impressed with Curry's leadership abilities. "He's a great kid on and off the court. Everyone seems to follow him and he's a winner."
Welborn says that the kind of person Curry is was demonstrated when on the same day that he committed to Snead Sate he won Prom King that night. "That's just the kind of kid he is," said Welborn," he's very sociable and he brings people together. He's going to be a good unifying force on our team and we're very excited."
Welborn says that Curry will more than likely play at the point guard position. "What really impressed us on the court was his ability to get the ball up against pressure. People really have a tough time taking it away from him.
"He has poise and doesn't mind holding the ball and making the right pass. He has a head for the point guard position."
Curry, the son of Topaz Brockman, plans on majoring in accounting.

Come join us for an exciting array of musical, prayerful and inspirational Hamroniyah community workshops and events at the JRF 2008 Convention! To register go to www.jrf.org/convention
Highlights Include:
Integrating New Music and Choruses into Services
Workshop Block A, Thursday, Nov. 13, 9:00-10:30am
Integrating new music into services can be difficult -- as much as people want it and appreciate what it brings to services, there are real challenges involved in getting a congregation to participate, and we're often left with a chorus that simply "performs" and interrupts the flow of the service. This tune-filled workshop will help provide the tools to help your congregation explore new Jewish music and expand its repertoire while increasing participation and building community.
Workshop Presenters: Barry Brian and Richard Yospin
You Too Can Create Reconstructionist Liturgy
This hands-on liturgy-writing workshop will give participants an opportunity to add to the rich literature of Reconstructionist prayer. We will examine various types of liturgical forms, based on Reconstructionist principles illustrated utilizing the Kol Haneshamah prayer book series and other venues, reviewing the tensions between keva (fixed, structured prayer) and kavanah (devotional, interpretive prayer), and exploring the purpose and short history of liturgical poetry and prayer. Participants will create new liturgy to energize our home congregations.
Workshop Presenter: Elise Rosen-Levin
Music Sharing Session
Workshop Block B, Thursday, Nov. 13, 4:30-6:00pm
Join with Reconstructionist musicians from all parts of our movement to share creative output with one another, thereby providing new music to bring to your home congregation.
Led by Elaine Moise and Harmoniyah Steering Committee members
Harmoniyah Business Meeting
Workshop Block D, Friday, Nov. 14, 11-12:30pm
This business meeting is open to members of Harmoniyah—the Reconstructionist music network.
Chaired by the Harmoniyah Steering Committee
Tefillah (Prayer) Leadership Training
Workshop Block: Block E, Fri. Nov. 14, 2:45-4:15pm
Take part in a leadership training workshop for those who lead congregational prayer. This session will be an exploration into traditional Jewish prayer structures (nusach and mat'beah) and what they might look like "reconstructed." This session will be an opportunity for leaders at all levels of experience to consider their own leadership style, skills, and goals. Participants will come away with ways to convey a sense of the liturgy's "inner text" in leading our communities in prayer, and how to invite and encourage participation in our communal worship so that it activates the body, touches the heart, engages the mind and nourishes genuine spiritual growth and insight. Employing the highly participatory approach of an intensive master class, the facilitators will coach participants in the high art of leadership of public ritual and prayer, as well as look at some of the deep structures of our liturgy.
Workshop Presenters:
Hazzan Rachel Hersh Epstein, Rabbi Shawn Zevit
The Music of Camp JRF
Workshop Block: Shabbat Beit Midrash I, 2-3:30pm
This fun and uplifting session introduces the music of Camp JRF through singing. Come discover ways to share the wonderful spirit of our own summer camp's music to energize your congregation.
Workshop Presenters: Ayal Weiner-Kaplow, Rabbi James Greene, Rabbi Jeffrey Eisenstat
Friday, Nov. 14th, 8:45 pm – 10:30 pm: A Musical Celebration of Shabbat featuring Harmoniyah members
Sat, Nov. 15th, 8:45 pm – 9:15 pm: Havdalah and Music featuring the Harmoniyah Steering Committee members and friends
Harmoniyah Mission Statement:
The mission of Harmoniyah (Reconstructionist Music Network) is to nurture, facilitate, and energize the evolving musical culture of Jewish civilization in accordance with the values and principles of Reconstructionism Judaism. Harmoniyah will serve to connect all who are involved in the musical transmission of our religious civilization by providing a central place for philosophical, educational, material, and logistical knowledge to be disseminated and shared by all of its members.

ELLWOOD CITY, Pa.—An attorney plans to erect a nativity display in front of a former church to dispel a threatened lawsuit by an atheists' group who opposed a display in front of a western Pennsylvania borough building.
Attorney Joseph Bellissimo says he's paying for the new display in Ellwood City, about 35 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. The borough had its own display for about 50 years.
Residents wanted to fight the threatened lawsuit by the Freedom From Religion Foundation of Madison, Wis., but borough officials feared they'd lose. The foundation's co-president, Annie Gaylord, says the group simply didn't want the display on public property.
Bellissimo tells the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ( http://bit.ly/ZcZBsP) the borough manager approached him about putting up the new display. The lawyer owns and plans to convert the former church building into a restaurant.

I wrote to you in November about the importance of
I want to focus this month on how to encourage generosity
and compassion with your children as a way of giving back at holiday time
and teaching our children to be thankful for what they have.
To embrace the spirit of the holidays
you can work as a family to give back to others
with family-friendly activities such as:
Shopping as a family for recipients of a local "giving tree" or "angel tree"
Collecting and donating canned food for a local food pantry
or food drive at your local grocery store.
Throw a holiday housewarming party and collect canned goods
from your guests for the hungry
or pet food for the animal shelter (or an animal rescue group)
Let your children pick out and shop for toys to donate
to "Toys For Tots" and other similar toy drives.
You can visit their website and find your state for a drop-off location.
My daughter's school collects toys this way every year.
Adopt a family - find a needy family through a local shelter,
church, or non-profit group like "The Box Project"
and collect items they need (clothing, toys, books, food, toiletries)
My family enjoyed supporting and getting to know a single mother and her son
for many years through this wonderful group.
Forgo presents and make a family donation to charity.
Our family really likes to donate animals to Heifer International,
a non profit group that gives animals and training to children and families
around the world to help them become self reliant.
Drop some coins in every Salvation Army bucket you pass.
A free way to give to others is to just go caroling in your neighborhood!

Hall – Reese
Laura "Elizabeth" Hall and U.S. Navy Ensign Daniel Clay Reese were united in marriage during a religious, candlelight ceremony on Saturday, June 11, 2011, at 6 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church in Johnson City. Steve Witt officiated the double-ring exchange of vows.
The bride is the daughter of John and Nancy Hall, 2313 Edgewood Avenue, Elizabethton. She is the granddaughter of Glenn and Jane Allen of Knoxville, John and Louise Hall of Lady Lake, Fla., and the late Glenda B. Hall.
The groom is the son of Darrell and Lyvonn Reese of Murfreesboro. He is the grandson of Mrs. Ardath Reese of Murfreesboro and the late Ulyss Reese, the late Wynonna O'Neal and the late Gene O'Neal.

Bruce mentioned on ESPNChicago this am on his chat that the Cubs would be expecting young outfielders from the BlueJays. How much would the Cubs have to give up to get a really good outfield prospect, a starting pitcher and possibly a 1st base prospect? I heard someone or read on twitter that the BlueJays had a really good 1st base prospect they might give up for Garza. Or am I wrong?
The 1B prospect you are think of isn't worth much. David Cooper has never shown power and play a terrible 1B. Now OF different story they have a true 5 tool player named Jake Marisnick.
Posted 27 December 2011 - 10:18 PM
Posted 28 December 2011 - 07:25 AM
That was...
4 Prospects (*including 3 in our organizational top 10 according to most):
*RHP Chris Archer
*SS Hak-Ju Lee
*OF Brandon Guyer
IF Robinson Chirinos
...and a ML 4th OF in Sam Fuld.
So from Toronto, that might look something like:
1 of their top OF prospects...either Gose or Marisnick
1 of their tip-top SP prospects (Drabek, Norris, Syndergaard, or Nicolino)
1 Additional High-Upside SP prospect (Sanchez, McGwire, Hutchinson, or Wojchiechowski)
1-2 Additional Bodies (the Chirinos/Fuld equivalents...not irrelevant, but much harder to predict)
I would love to see their young 1B Cooper included in the deal...he doesn't have that much pop, but has great plate discipline and hits from the left side.
I would be over-the-moon if we landed something like...
OF Gose
SP Drabek
SP McGwire
1B Cooper
...or something comparable to that.
Posted 28 December 2011 - 10:13 AM
That said, I think the returns in the Latos and Gonzalez deals will probably be more of the guiding principle for a Garza deal this time around.
(Both approaches net the Cubs a very healthy return, obviously.)
Posted 28 December 2011 - 10:34 PM
I dont think the Jays have a good 1st base prospect. The outfielder Gose looks like a good player

Sam, I heard the same rumor and I would love to see that deal. Betances is a beast and I would love to see him pitching for the Cubbies. At 6' 8" and only 22 years old one could argue he is only 3 years away from being a dominant starter. And you are right, it definitely sounds like a "yankee esque" move.
Posted 09 January 2012 - 11:23 PM
I'd be stunned if the Yanks gave up those three for ANYONE, let alone Garza. The Tigers seem like the best fit, but it's a pipe dream expected to get Castellanos plus Turner/Smyly. Even though they're young, the Tigers would essentially be gutting their system and I can't see that.
Turner, Smyly and a B prospect is more likely and I am perfectly content with that. Realistically, the only guy I was crushed to lose in last year's trade was Lee. Archer still looks more like an RP (where's his decent 3rd pitch?) and the other guys were really just filler. 6 years of a young ace-ceiling SP who is near ML ready (Turner)? Plus other stuff? Yes please.

When we Make It In America, we create jobs to lead the world economy. Our national manufacturing strategy creates the high-skill, high-wage jobs of the future--promoting American competitiveness, innovation, and exports
On July 28th, the House passed the Making Supplemental Appropriations for the Patent and Trademark Office (H.R. 5874) as part of our new 'Make It In America' initiative from House Democrats to strengthen American manufacturing and create new American jobs. Patents are crucial to help protect the American innovations that fuel emerging manufacturing sectors, like clean energy technology, from intellectual property theft by foreign competitors.
This bill provides $129 million in urgent funding, fully offset, to allow the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) to prevent additional backlogs in patent applications and to improve the efficiency of patent examination operations. Patents are critical to American innovation and economic growth, supporting good paying jobs here at home, particularly in American manufacturing, by providing protections for new ideas and technologies.
This much-needed funding will help the PTO to avoid adding to its backlog of more than 1.2 million patent applications. Timely and efficient patent examinations will encourage businesses to continue to invest in research and development, safe in the knowledge that they will be able to protect their innovations. Currently, PTO will have to begin cutting back on patent examinations by the end of July.
Already, the House has passed the following Make It In America bills that:
- Help U.S. manufacturers compete at home and abroad by temporarily suspending or reducing duties on intermediate products or materials these companies use that are not made domestically.
- Support new "sector" or "industry partnerships" that bring together businesses, unions, educators and job training institutions to develop and implement plans that help workers train for and advance in high-demand and emerging industries.
- Call for a national manufacturing strategy, crucial to job creation and our economic success after losing 4.6 million manufacturing jobs under the Bush Administration.
- Promote clean energy technology exports to create clean energy manufacturing jobs here at home so that America will lead the way in powering the world in the 21st Century.
- Establish a commission to tackle the U.S. trade deficit -- which doubled under Bush and threatens our economic and national security by forcing us to borrow from China, for example.
- Express the sense of the House encouraging fruit and vegetable and commodity producers to display the American flag on labels of products grown in the United States.

Benchmade® Mini Griptilian® Knives
The Benchmade Mini Griptilian Knives feature a lightweight, uniquely textured ''handleskin'' for a superior, non-slip grip, molded of Noryl GTX® for strength and durability. Patented AXIS™ locking mechanism is safe, smooth, and reliable. The 154CM stainless steel blade is released with a simple thumb rotation. Naturally curved design. Stainless steel liners. Reversible steel carry-clip. Blade length: 2.91''. Overall length: 6-7/8''. Weight: 2.56 oz.
Rated 5 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fishineddie What an excellent knive I like everything about this knife. It is a nice size to fit in most pairs of pants yet the blade is long enough for serious work. Very high quality steel on the blade holds an edge well and can be sharpened to a razor sharpness. The knife grips well and the opening is real easy and can be done with one hand. Truely an excellent knife. April 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by cyaun Great Knife First of all, this is the first review that I have written for any product. Now then, this is the highest quality knife that I have ever owned. Everything about this knife just feels right. The action is super smooth, and opens with just the slightest flick of the wrist. The blade comes hair shaving sharp, however I cant tell you how well it takes an edge since I haven't needed to sharpen it yet. The handle fits very nicely in your hand even though it is a smaller knife. The only complaint that I have is that the carrying clip is backwards from what I am used to. Bottom line, this is a great knife for only 100 dollars that will last you a life time if you take just a little bit of care. March 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by cctruckdriver Mini Grip This is the best small knife I have purchased. Will get sharp and stay sharp. I use a paper wheel when sharpening. Sharper than most razor blades I have bought. May 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Furbear Best all around EDC knife !! Many reviews and video-clips have been posted on the web regarding this knife, and most of them also give it a 5-star rating. The only slight, possible drawback I can find is with the pocket-clip. It is a little too tight, especially when combined with the handle's grip, and as a result, it WILL provoke fast wear on your pants' pocket !! (This can, however, be remedied.) With practise, it is a beautifully smooth one-handed opening knife, and it comes virtually razor sharp from the box !! July 27, 2011

The suffragists didn't take the insults by U.S. President William Howard Taft lightly when he addressed their organization, the National American Woman Suffrage Organization– back in April of 1910. Taft had been known to oppose women voting, but perhaps he'd at least be polite in addressing their convention. Instead, he launched into a tirade about how extending the vote to women would be a disaster. The audience hissed, to which Taft said that self restraint was part of the game. Later, the organization officially apologized to Taft, but the point had been made. The women were up against very powerful individuals and interests.

FIVE MINUTES: South Africa
- Daily Maverick Staff Reporter
Check the question again. It's not asking whether the party should lose the province, or how likely it is that it will fail to reach the 50%-of-the-vote threshold. It just wants to know what series of events would be needed for this to happen. Whether you think this is an imminent or fantastical outcome, whether the prospect fills you with hope or dread or dismissive contempt, none of these things are important for the analysis. By PAUL BERKOWITZ.
As the election day approaches, it is not the last-minute rush of activity by political parties which will take centre stage, but rather what the 12-person Parliamentary ad hoc committee does when they consider President Jacob Zuma's response to the Public Protector's report on the upgrade to his Nkandla residence. The problem, of course, is: what exactly is the president's response to the report? The opposition wants Zuma to be subpoenaed before the committee; the ANC probably knows this will be political suicide days before the polls. While there will be fierce resistance to any further damage to the ANC, Nkandla will continue to haunt the party as Zuma's first term peters out. By RANJENI MUNUSAMY.
The Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) strike in the platinum belt has now been going for three months. The union was locked in discussions with Anglo American Platinum (Amplats), Impala Platinum (Implats) and Lonmin late on Tuesday night. These discussions will determine whether employees go back to work or the longest strike in the democratic era rolls on. Either way, it's going to be costly. By GREG NICOLSON.
South Africans can attest to the grim consequences of regressive stances on issues of public health: The disastrous HIV/AIDS policies of Thabo Mbeki are said to have cost the lives of at least 400,000 South Africans. The real effect, however, may never be known. And while the policies of the Zuma administration have been more progressive, with the overhaul of the health department being one of Zuma's most apparent achievements during his term in office, the everyday experience of public health care in South Africa remains a struggle. By KHADIJA PATEL for SOUTH AFRICA VOTES 2014.
As a nation, it would seem hard to deny that we have become quite obsessed with President Jacob Zuma. He dominates all the non-Oscar headlines we have. Nkandla is now a word with special power in our politics; sometimes it seems he's portrayed as the devil-incarnate, the person single-handedly responsible for the decline of our country, and of the ANC. But the other night, I was asked: "How different would these elections be if Zuma weren't head of the ANC?" It's a question that makes you think about the image of the ANC, President Jacob Zuma, and the difference between temporary electioneering antics and the longer term issues. It also makes you wonder if perhaps we are too obsessed with Number One. By STEPHEN GROOTES.
It's merely two weeks to election day and the air is soupy with polls and predictions and prognosticators. There are numbers everywhere, more than enough to cater for everyone's bias and wish-list. How should you remain objective when analysts keep springing up like mushrooms after the summer rain? By PAUL BERKOWITZ.
Trevor Manuel, best known as the world's longest ever serving Minister of Finance, and as the luminary who shaped South African economic policy post-1994, recently announced his retirement from politics. Slowly, subtly, he has started to knock the ANC, his political home for more than two decades. But is this the country that Trevor Manuel made, or the country he helped break? RICHARD POPLAK wants to know how the ANC's very own unicorn—a clean politician—is shaping the election conversation.
Two of the University of Stellenbosch's most notorious alumni were, of course, Hendrik Verwoerd and Daniel Francois Malan, the man who dreamt up the word "Apartheid".

He also provided some handy geographical tips to the government of the day. By MARIANNE THAMM.
Cosatu Secretary General Zwelinzima Vavi will be campaigning for the ANC in the upcoming elections, despite his criticism of the government and his allegiances to the National Union of Metalworkers SA (Numsa), Cosatu leaders said on Wednesday after a meeting with the South African Communist Party (SACP). Blade Nzimande took the opportunity to attack former Comrade Ronnie Kasrils and his Vote No campaign. By GREG NICOLSON.
South Africa's citizens have won rare victory over the SABC, the country's public broadcaster, to carry campaign ads highly critical of the country's president. Is this the start of a new era in media freedom? J. BROOKS SPECTOR contemplates the question, bringing American experience in as comparison.
The 2014 elections are held on the 20th anniversary of the advent of democracy. Instead of celebration, the atmosphere is suffused with anger and mistrust. Many believe freedom is endangered or that some gains have been reversed or undermined. There is disquiet in relation to violent state actions against unarmed protesters, unbridled corruption and undermining of the Constitution. By RAYMOND SUTTNER.
The defiance vote was always going to be the wild card in the 2014 elections. The question was how would it manifest itself. The post-Mangaung ANC and the performance of the Zuma administration have caused unprecedented turbulence and disenchantment within the ruling party. The Economic Freedom Fighters has become a channel for some of the anger against the ANC, but many respected, staunch members are at a loss about what to do with their vote. Now a handful of veterans, academics and activists have come up with a "Vote No" campaign as a stopgap measure until a better alternative comes along. Desperate times, desperate measures. By RANJENI MUNUSAMY.
These elections are about the ANC and whether the "broad church" can keep it together amid political scandals and dissatisfaction with the tangible outcomes of democracy. Anti-Apartheid stalwart Ronnie Kasrils clarified his position on Tuesday, launching a "Vote No" campaign. Like many others, he's hoping the ANC will see the light or a new left will emerge. By GREG NICOLSON.
Oscar Pistorius and Shrien Dewani may be getting the VIP treatment in court, but on the ground, hundreds – if not thousands – of ordinary South Africans are fighting for their lives in a criminal justice system that is bent at best; or completely broken. No lengthy bail hearings or deep analysis of the evidence for them: they languish in jail, waiting for justice that never comes. By RUTH HOPKINS.
If it is true that a country gets the politicians it deserves, then ladies and gentlemen: Kenny Kunene! His Patriotic Alliance Party lurks on the IEC list as a merry reminder of our celebrity-obsessed, ca$h-addled culture. Yet Kunene, who is famous for being famous, just wants to help poor children, because no one else is. He kind of has a point, thinks RICHARD POPLAK.
A small group of long-time ANC and SACP bigwigs have called for voters to withhold their support from the ANC in the 7 May election as part of a desperate effort to reform and cleanse their party and return it to its true routes. This is an extraordinary moment in South Africa's political world – but will it have any real effect? J. BROOKS SPECTOR contemplates this development.
The Tokwe-Mukorsi dam project was intended to be the solution for the irrigation and electricity issues surrounding the communities of Masvingo province in Zimbabwe. However, the heaviest rainfall experienced in the province in over 40 years resulted in heavy flooding, culminating in the partial collapse of the dam. Thousands of rural farmers and their families had to flee their homes, leaving their crops and livestock behind, and at the mercy of the rising waters. By IHSAAN HAFFEJEE.

The 'Argo' effect: Film could stoke suspicions about Americans abroad (+video)
The Oscar-winning film 'Argo' tells of how CIA operatives posed as a film crew to free hostages in Iran in 1979. The film could reinforce impressions in some countries that Americans are government agents.
Los Angeles
Filming in remote locations has never been a cakewalk, but thanks to Oscar's top choice, "Argo," it just got a teensy bit harder, say some intelligence and entertainment industry watchers. The film depicts Hollywood producers helping the CIA spring six American diplomats from 1979 revolutionary Iran by posing them as a film crew.Skip to next paragraph
Subscribe Today to the Monitor
While the events are decades old, say experts, the message is current and more persuasive in many countries than ever: Americans abroad are the tools of their government and not to be trusted.
"It's not something you can measure easily," says David Barrett, a political scientist at Villanova University and author of "The CIA and Congress: The Untold Story from Truman to Kennedy." But, he says, "if I were a film company sending my team into Iran or North Korea or Vietnam or any number of countries, it would be prudent to assume that my team would be the object of suspicion."
"I would also assume this movie ["Argo"] may have confirmed this suspicion for many who do not read books but do see movies," he adds.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science's decision to bring in none other than first lady Michelle Obama to announce the best film Oscar – which just happened to be "Argo" – only amplifies the impression that the relationship between the US government and Hollywood is totally chummy.
"That decision crossed a line," says Chuck Evered, a director and writer whose film, "A Thousand Cuts," was recently nominated for a Saturn Award, one that honors science fiction films.
If the industry wanted to send a message of independence from government influence, he says, "that would not be the choice you would make.... If we are all in each other's back pockets, how effective as storytellers can we be?"
The CIA has used any number of covers over the years, says Peter Earnest, a 35-year CIA veteran and executive director of the International Spy Museum in Washington. He says he was involved in numerous intelligence operations and points out that "there are any number of countries where if you even speak a foreign language or ask questions you will become an object of suspicion, so Americans are not alone in this."

The CGL workgroup has two main functions. First, interface with network equipment providers and carriers to gather requirements and produce specifications that Linux distribution vendors can implement. Second, to take unimplemented requirements and foster development projects that will meet these requirements and assist in their upstream integration.
The Linux Community (upstream)
The 4.0 requirements are all published as PDF documents in the Carrier Grade Linux Specifications - Released Specifications section. The active requirements being developed for post-4.0 specifications can be found in Working Documents.
As of Friday, June 29, 2007 it is possible for Linux vendors to register their products for compliance with Version 4.0 of the Carrier Grade Linux (CGL) Requirements Definition Documents. Linux vendors wishing to register should download the registration template (ots format) and fill out the template based on the CGL Registration Process (pdf). Vendors will post their registration results on the Registration Wiki.
Telecoms networks - Carrier Grade Linux comes of age
The working group used the CGL 4.0 requirements as a starting point and split them into requirements that already exist in some mature open source project and requirements that do no[t] exist today.
The COTS Ecosystem--Strength in numbers
Individually, the Linux Foundation Carrier Grade Linux Work Group is working on the next version of our specification. The goal this time around is to create a specification that will lead, over a reasonable amount of time, to actual code.--Dan Cauchy, Chairman of Carrier Grade Linux Workgroup
Carrier Grade Linux conference calls are announced on the lf_carrier mailing list. For conference call information join the mailing list for next scheduled call.

Check out last year's sendable heart attack box here and a heart attack for the door here.
Photos by Liv Colliander
Cute :)
So when you actually mail it you would cover the whole box in brown paper right? Or will the mail take it with the hearts on the outside?
Going to do this for my nephews. They need a special V Day this year.
Great idea. I just don't have the patience to do all these things. But I do like to see the ideas people come up with.

Lovely idea! Heart attack sounds nice
Just found your blog and love this idea! Very clever!!
Weird, I know Caitlin Watson...

@Lauren...how do you know caitlin?
@sarah B, I was just planning on sending it sans brown paper, but I'm sure it'd be safer with. I don't think it should pose a problem for the mail.
This is perfect for deployed military love. I have sent boxes with stuff on the outside and never had a problem.... just don't put by address area and I'd tape over the hearts with clear packing tape.
Omgosh, this is brilliant! Love the "heart attack" concept!! Will have to try this on long distance loved ones:) Thanks for the inspiration! -A
Oh it would be so fun to get this in the mail. I love snail mail!

Spirulina is a superfood and considered one of the nutritive and healthy foods! Spirulina contains all traces minerals, every amino acid needed by man (about 60% highly absorbable protein), high beta carotene and other caroteniods like zeaxanthin, vitamin B, E, K, high chlorophyll and healthy fats like GLA, DHA. Spirulina is known for boosting immune system, detoxification of heavy metals, lower high blood pressure, lower high cholesterol, lower cancer risk, lower heart diseases and many others as well. Spirulina is suitable for vegetarians. One of the debating points about spirulina is whether it contains B12 or B12 analogue (look alike that is inactive). There is a lot of yes and no so you will have to decide whether to supple with additional B12. This is the cheapest if you are looking for tablets form. If you don't mind the taste or wants to take at high doses daily, you can save by buying the powder form. I use the tablets whenever I have to travel overseas or away so I keep taking it without tagging on the container or the blender bottle. Tablets are also more suitable if you want to take it with your meals for various reasons unless you don't mind drinking spirulina along with your meals. Another plus point is that the supplements contain no fillers, binders or flow agents (Quite rare for any supplement in tablet form). The tablets are circular in shape. Personally, I find it hard to swallow many tablets of this shape together at the time. The recommended dose is 6 tablets daily which is quite low. Minimally, you need at least 5g (10 tablets). For optimum results, 10g daily (20 tablets) will be needed. Remember to increase the dosage slowly as the spirulina's detoxing effects can cause loose stools and gas if you take more than you can handle. Check out my page for more reviews!
