The MIAA released the basketball seedings Saturday at the Basketball Hall of Fame. In the Division I bracket, undefeated Putnam earned the top seed and a first-round bye.
Below, we take a look at the Division I bracket, breaking down the best matchups, players to watch, and making a playoff prediction.
THE BIG QUESTION: Can anybody beat Putnam?
Defending state champion Putnam took the top seed after finishing the regular season 21-0. The Beavers survived a dogged non-league schedule unblemished and are the clear favorite heading into not only the Western Mass. tournament, but around the state as well. Putnam has a balanced offensive attack with hard-working, unselfish, experienced players all over the court. The addition of 6-foot-5 sophomore Davidson Pacheco gives coach William Shepard some insurance in the front court and another hard-nosed player to rotate in with senior forward David Murrell and sophomore forward Tyonne Malone.
Still, Putnam has looked vulnerable at times this season and the defense that led them to last year's state championship does not seem as invincible as it was a year ago. Holyoke proved on two occasions that they can go toe-to-toe with Putnam, while Northampton took the Beavers to the brink as well. Each time, Putnam answered the call with an impressive finish, but those games show the sectional tournament will be a difficult road, even for a team as talented and well-coach as Putnam.
Last season, Putnam suffocated teams with their pressure man-to-man defense, led by the vocal leadership of Lahovich-winner Kayjuan Bynum. The Beavers have seemed to miss Bynum's leadership at times this season and the defense is not quite as intimidating as it was last season. Shepherd has used a lot of zone defense this season, which has been somewhat of a surprise for a team that built it's reputation on matching up man-to-man and disrupting their opponent's ball-handlers and offense.
TEAM TO BEAT: Putnam
Putnam may be vulnerable, but they are still the team to beat until somebody knocks them from the top of the hill. As a defending champion, the Beavers took the opponents best shot each game this season, and they still finished the regular season unblemished. No team will be more prepared for the tests of the tournament, and no team will outwork Putnam, led by the example of Murrell and Wright. Junior guards Jonathan Garcia and Ty Nichols are the unsung heroes for Putnam, while Ki-Shawn Monroe has become a knock down shooter from the perimeter.
BEST FIRST ROUND MATCHUP: Leominster at Holyoke
No surprise that the 4/5 matchup will most likely provide the most competitive game. Led by Justin White and DeVante Wardell, Holyoke is tough, experienced and well-balanced. The Purple Knights are a confident bunch who believe they are capable of winning the whole thing. Meanwhile, Leominster is a team playing with something to prove. After a 16-4 regular season in Central Mass., the Blue Devils are seeded fifth and will have to travel about 80 minutes to play their quarterfinal matchup. Head coach Steve Dubzinski and his crew are out to prove they were unfairly seeded and represent the strength of Central Mass. basketball.
PLAYER WHO COULD CAUSE AN UPSET: Justin White (Holyoke) or Jake Ross (Northampton)
Tyler Desrosiers of Agawam and Darrick Boyd of Cathedral are two of the top players in Western Mass. and all of the state, but it appears their teams lack the depth to pull of a major upset in the opening round. If Northampton and Holyoke advance to play Putnam, White and Ross are two players that can take over a game. In order to beat Putnam, White and Ross will need to be the best player on the floor that night and each has proven their mettle.
Ross is a well-rounded player who has arguably had the best season of any player in Western Mass. Not only is he a great scorer who can shoot from 3 and put the ball on the deck, he is also Northampton's best distributor and an elite defender and rebounder. The 6-foot-4 junior guard presents a tough matchup for Putnam, whose best perimeter defender, Dizel Wright, gives up a lot of size to Ross.
White may not have matched the production of his junior season from start to finish, but when he's at his best, he's as good any big man in the region. The senior center has been plagued by foul trouble at times this season, but the Purple Knights are a different--and dangerous--team with him on the floor. White is one of the few players who match the intensity, athleticism, and skill of Murrell head-to-head and he'll have to if Holyoke has any plans of a semifinal upset.
SCOUTING CENTRAL MASS: Leominster (16-4)
Best wins: vs. St. John's (Shrewsbury), at Fitchburg, vs. Wachusett
Leading scorers: Jake Allain (12.6 ppg), Derek Franks (12.2 ppg), Tanner Jakola (11.2)
DEFENDING CHAMPION: Putnam
FINALS PICK: Putnam over Northampton

Suffice to say that ANY team would take a 2nd round pick for their backup QB. This isn't news really. I'd love to see it happen, if it did we'd have the ammo needed to move up and grab someone they have their eye on or simply keep the picks we have enjoy having another pick in a draft this nice. Glennon's one of the better backups in the league at this point but I would take a 4th or better.

There are many reasons that we choose to live in Colorado, but the unrivaled natural environment is near the top of almost everyone's list. Whether it is our spectacular mountains, wide open plains, or clear blue waters and sky, the environment is what makes our state so special – and that is what we at Colorado Conservation Voters fight to protect.
What We Do
Colorado Conservation Voters works to turn conservation values into Colorado priorities by advocating for strong environmental policies, endorsing conservation-minded candidates, and holding elected officials accountable. Thomas Friedman made one of the best cases for what we do when he wrote in the New York Times, "the greenest thing you can do is this: Choose the right leaders." This is the premise of Colorado Conservation Voters.
Our Results
Over the past seven years, conservationists have made tremendous progress towards protecting our environment by passing landmark policies at the capitol and at the ballot box.
The first victory in the drive to make Colorado a leader in renewable energy came on the heels of a disappointing loss. In 2004, the conservation community—working with farmers, bankers, and business leaders—failed to find the final vote in the state Senate to pass a 10% renewable energy standard. Undaunted, environmental groups decided to take the issue directly to voters on the ballot. Not surprisingly, the voters approved a 10% standard for wind and sun power in November of 2004.
In 2007, after building a pro-conservation majority in the state legislature, eighty-six out of one hundred lawmakers voted to double the renewable standard to require that 20% of our electricity come from renewable sources by 2020. Last year, a pro-conservation legislature hiked the standard to 30% by 2020. In nine short years, Xcel Energy and other investor owned utilities will get nearly one third of their power from the wind, sun, and other forms of renewable energy. The 30% mandate gives Colorado the second highest renewable energy standard in the country.
Clean energy jobs are also vital to Colorado. As our economy struggles to regain footing, the work we have done to grow the New Energy Economy has made clean energy jobs one of the brightest sectors in Colorado. The New Energy Economy has created more than 17,000 jobs here in Colorado and a report last year found that the renewable energy sector would create at least another 23,000 jobs between now and 2020.
It is no accident that Colorado has become a national leader in renewable energy production. Strong and wise leadership on key environmental issues from our elected officials has positioned us at the forefront nationally on these issues. Supporting those officeholders and then advocating for smart environmental policy is what Colorado Conservation Voters is all about.
With pro-conservation elected leaders in place, environmental advocates were not only able to increase the renewable energy standard to 30%, but also win other key victories for the environment including:
- Passing the Clean Air Clean Jobs Act of 2010. This high profile measure will take 900 MW of coal-fired power plants offline by 2017 or earlier. Reducing the amount of coal we burn means we will have cleaner air, better public health, and we will cut global warming gases we send into the atmosphere. The law, passed with broad, bi-partisan majorities, is already becoming a national model. By taking a multi-pollutant approach we will be able to cut nitrogen oxide pollution by 80% while also addressing mercury, carbon, and other pollutants.
- Creating a balanced Oil and Gas Commission that includes representation from conservationists, sportsmen, and local communities instead of a commission that only worked for the industries.
- Winning better protection of our drinking water by allowing the water courts to consider water quality when making decisions.
- Protecting open space and our agricultural heritage by stopping the abuses of the Tax Increment Financing process whereby tax money was funding the paving over of productive farmland into strip malls.
We won these exciting conservation policies by helping legislators understand the importance of conservation to our state's future. However, it is important to remember that as recently as 2003, there were just 33 pro-environment legislators out of 100 in the General Assembly. Pro-conservation bills were defeated quickly in committees and environmental advocates spent their time working to defeat rollbacks to existing environmental protections. Through working with our colleagues in the conservation community to be more strategic and effective politically and in the legislature, the political landscape shifted dramatically.
Why the change? There are a number of reasons, but key among them is who Coloradans put in office. In 2006 and 2008 Coloradans elected environmental supporters and champions, which created and protected conservation majorities in the state House, Senate, and Governor's office for the first time in memory. These majorities are what allowed us to win the key environmental victories described above.
In 2010, the political landscape shifted again. Nationally, a tidal wave of anger and discontent swept hundreds of pro-conservation elected officials out of office. Here in Colorado though, voters continued to support pro-conservation candidates. We still have a bi-partisan pro-conservation majority in the state Senate and have a pro-conservation governor in John Hickenlooper. Unfortunately, we are one vote shy of having a pro-conservation majority in the state House. The changed political dynamic will make it harder to pass groundbreaking environmental legislation but we will continue to make important progress on key issues.
The Environment's Watchdog
CCV accountability projects such as the Legislative Conservation Scorecard and the Governor's Report Card are complimentary tools to measure how well our elected leaders are protecting our environment. They are critical devices to educate citizens about how their legislators are voting and to help hold those elected officials accountable to their actions. The annual Conservation Scorecard provides factual, nonpartisan information about how each member of the legislature voted on a range of conservation issues. The Scorecard includes only those House and Senate votes on which the conservation community clearly communicated its position to legislators, and, except in rare circumstances, excludes non-controversial consensus votes.
Challenges Ahead
We have made great strides in protecting our way of life, but there are still special interests that threaten our environment every day. Contamination makes its way into our drinking water, natural areas that are critical to our wildlife are being leased for oil and gas exploration, and we must keep fighting to reduce global warming pollution. There is much work to be done. We need to solidify Colorado as a national leader on environmental policy. We must insist that the oil and gas industry leave a smaller footprint. We must work to protect nature from urban sprawl. We need to ensure that every Coloradan has a safe and healthy environment for generations to come.

Nintendo JP Brings Sweet, Sweet Music To The 3DS
Posted on Thursday, October 25 @ 08:47:29 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
Ever find yourself wishing your 3DS could double as an iPod? No? Well, don't worry, this news will probably never affect those of us in the West anyway. During Japan's Nintendo Direct, the company announced that they're bringing a music service called Recochoku (レコチョク) to the handheld in Japan.
Kotaku notes that Recochoku is short for "Record-Chokusetsu" or "Record Direct" and is an already well established music service in Japan. It will become available in the region this December and will boast over one million songs for purchase.
Seeing as how this is a Japan-centric service, there's virtually no chance we'll see it come to North America. That said, would you like to see a service like iTunes on the 3DS? Let us know in the comments below.

We all know how close a lot of our beloved Rangers are to starting the All-Star Game.
Well, here's an idea to organize one last push for the guys.
On July 1st (Tuesday night) at 7:00pm CST, we amass on LSB under one thread and vote as many times with many email addresses as we can in an effort to get our guys in.
Spread the word to Newberg's site, MVN, Grant, and other Rangers affiliated websites. Have them meet in thier own threads, or tell them to meet us here.
All you have to do is vote as much as possible
, and list how many times you voted in the thread.
The idea is a bit silly, but it would be a cool group-based activity that we could all take part in and help our guys out.

Scottsdale robber escapes after driving stolen van onto Silverado Golf Course
SCOTTSDALE, AZ - Police said a man armed with a baseball bat robbed a woman in Scottsdale early Thursday before abandoning a stolen van on a golf course and fleeing officers.
A 66-year-old woman was walking on a sidewalk near 82nd Street and McDonald Road around 12:30 a.m. when a man drove up to her, according to police.
He reportedly got out of a 1994 Dodge van, which was reported stolen from Chandler, and came toward her carrying a baseball bat.
Police said the man demanded she give him her purse and, after a struggle, the woman fell to the ground.
Soon after the robbery, police spotted the vehicle near Hayden and Indian Bend roads.
Police said the man drove onto the Silverado Golf Course, got out of the van, and fled on foot before officers could take him into custody.
The victim's purse was recovered from the suspect vehicle.
Police said the victim did not require medical attention.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic male wearing dark clothing and a dark hooded sweatshirt.

In recent news, the Jets signed former Patriots cornerback Ras-I Dowling to the practice squad. The 25 year old was drafted 33rd overall by the Patriots in 2011. Dowling is a fairly safe addition to the Jets practice roster. He played his college ball at Virginia, where he started all 12 games as freshman. In 2009 he was voted to the All-ACC team and in 2010 he was voted as a second team All-American. He was a highly touted high school recruit, who earned a 4 star rating from Rivals.
Unfortunately Dowling has suffered numerous injuries during his NFL career. He played two games for New England in 2011 before suffering a severe hip injury. In 2012 he tore a thigh muscle that ended his season. Some may say that he is "damaged goods", but overall it is not a bad addition to the practice roster.
According to NFL.com's draft profile, Dowling has good speed (4.46 40 yard dash). They state that he is a "sound tackler" with fairly good coverage skills. Dowling has great size (6'1" 200 lbs.) that helps him cover lengthy receivers. Unfortunately, his hip injuries hurt his ability to swivel quickly and recover on plays.
This is a low risk signing that can either potentially be a smart move or test. With Dee Milliner's current injury situation, it will be interesting to see how Dowling plays in practice. Perhaps he will be able to overcome past injuries and compete to play in certain defensive packages. For now the Jets will look to use Dowling as an effective practice player.

Today in Latin American History
A Fire Destroyed Two-thirds of Mayagüez, Puerto Rico in 1841
Photo: Puerto Rico
Today in Latin American history, a fire destroyed two-thirds of Mayagüez, Puerto Rico in 1841.
The fire burned 300 out of the 500 existing housing units in town.
The town was rebuilt with some of its main roads widened as to prevent any future fires to spread quickly.
The Spanish military governor of Puerto Rico, Gen. Santiago de Méndez Vigo personally raised funding through a subscription fund to rebuild the entire city; eventually one of Mayagüez's three main thoroughfares was named in his honor.
Other events that occurred on this day:
- Today in LatAm history, Cuban baseball player Sandy Amorós who played for the Los Angeles Dodgers was born in 1930
- Today in LatAm history, Brazilian physician Manuel de Abreu whose research impacted the medicine died in 1962
- Today in LatAm history, Brazilian footballer Juninho Pernambucano who played for the National team & Olympique Lyonnais was born in 1975

And the fact that it happens is not the problem; it's only inevitable. It's a part of becoming an adult and growing up. It's a necessary catalyst of maturation and it helps you to grow as a person and better understand yourself and what you mean to others. The trouble is how few of us decide to deal with it properly.
The first, and most obvious, response to a breakup is further destruction. And the majority of people deal with it accordingly. Their first response is conquest: a rampage to see how many people they can have sex with because it allows them to feel the immediate, if transient, satisfaction of revenge.
Sex is the battlefield, and they're waging a war for body count. But there's no winning in it. The more girls you amass, the more you drop, only serves to make the pain worse. And for women it's the same, this is how sluts are triggered because they are trying to get back at an ex boyfriend. The process is sadistic in nature; it's a game to hurt as many people as possible so they can feel the same pain.
The second approach is the rebound. The most dangerous part of this approach is the belief that it's more rational than its predecessor. Instead of being a whore, a person slips into a mock relationship, divesting all the emotion for the ex in this new fling.
It's a matter of missing intimacy, and the rebound will help ease the pain and fill that space. Apples aren't oranges. And as soon as they stop pretending, they'll realize they've only made it worse. You can keep wearing a mask to hide all the emotions, but one day there will be nothing under it.
The third option to avenging an ex is to fake happy better. This method is massively bolstered with social media. There are indirect (direct) tweets, Instagram photos with multiple hashtags, and the old-fashioned, stone age approach of a mobile upload tag in a member of the other gender's Facebook album — so that everyone in your network, and every one of your mutual friends, can see how happy you are only one day after the breakup.
Let me clarify that these are pathetic means to revenge. Of course, we all fall victim to these, as childish and unsuccessful as they may be. Even I have found myself tangled in the mess that these reactions produce, but I quickly realized we're going about revenge in all the wrong ways.
Disclaimer: this may shock you. Showing an ex how many girls you can bang or how good you look in an Instagram filter, isn't the best means of revenge.
Instead, show them what they have missed out on. And what better way to do that than actually accomplishing things and building a legacy that just drips of success?
Think about it: five years from now, you have put your hard work in, sold your company and made it on the 30 under 30 list; is she going to be okay with knowing that she passed up a chance of being with someone who actually succeeded in life?
Of course not. She's going to look over at her pedestrian boyfriend, who has a pedestrian job and works pedestrian hours, and realize the only excitement they get is when they go to an all-inclusive resort in Dominican Republic. Right there, she will hit her mid-life crisis at 26.
Sure you may say, Preston, you really thought this through, but that's because it is the most rational way to get back at someone for walking out on you. It is showing them that you have become a better person without them and have actually grown to do great things in your life while they have stayed stagnant with theirs.
When we do go through a breakup, we experience anger. We must channel that anger into something that will help us in our lives and use it as motivation rather than retaliation.
Because the motivation of proving someone wrong, and showing them that they were an idiot for walking out on you, will be worth more to you than all the girls that you could possibly think of banging to get back at her—even her best friend (trust me that only makes the situation worse, I have been there before).
Success is the best revenge served to anyone. It's a public display of how wrong they were. It's proving to them that you can actually amount to something and it makes them feel miserable about themselves for ever leaving you during your humble beginnings.
Look at Mark Zuckerberg, the reason Facebook exists is because some Jewish girl from BU walked out on him. He then channeled his anger into creating "Facemash" which then sprung the idea of Facebook, which got a 100 billion dollar evaluation.
Picture her sitting in her 450 square foot apartment in Murray Hill; do you think she is not sick to her stomach with the realization of how much of an idiot she is for walking out on him? Of course she's miserable and feels like a dagger just hit her. That ladies and gentlemen is what success does to your ex.
Of course this elicits the question: would you reach success if you weren't motivated by the anger of the one that walked out of your life? Without that painful drive, you are already comfortable and content with what you have in front of you. So I ask you, would you rather still be with them and miserable or would you rather be enjoying the fruits of your labor while on top of the world?
I can safely say it's enjoying the fruits of your labor; I can imagine the feeling of sending the 30 under 30 list, with my name included, to my three ex-girlfriends, who will inevitably only amount to being pedestrians that base their lives off "Sex in the City".

This hotel has undergone significant renovations since our visit.
We will update our photos and review as soon as we can.
Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
An enormous, business-oriented chain near the San Diego Convention Center
There are no surprises here: The Manchester Grand Hyatt delivers exactly what you would expect from a massive chain hotel next to a massive convention center. There's a gleaming, marble-tile lobby with soaring ceilings and chandeliers, and upstairs, chain-like rooms that range from ordinary to somewhat stylish. The hotel is renovating rooms throughout 2013 ; until renovations are complete, you'll find better rooms for your money elsewhere.
Marina location close to Seaport Village
The Manchester Grand Hyatt is located on the San Diego Bay, across from the Seaport Village shopping center and down the street from the San Diego Convention Center. It's within walking distance of the historic Gaslamp Quarter, which is home to some of San Diego's best restaurants, shopping, and nightlife.
46-inch flat-screens, iPod docks and bay views -- but the furniture is old
Rooms have 46-inch flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and, in many cases, great views of the bay. But aside from the bright pink and green bedding accents, the decor is generic, and the furniture and carpets could use replacement. The hotel started renovating rooms in spring of 2012, and updated rooms have more stylish decor -- but it's worth waiting until renovations are complete to ensure you get one.
All rooms include:
Room types:
Popular Kin Oasis pool lounge and a kids club
The Manchester has plenty for both kids and adults to do. For kids: bike rentals, volleyball, two tennis courts, a game room, and a kids club. For adults: the Kin Spa, the 24-hour Hyatt Stay Fit gym, and a pool that turns into an adult's-only hot spot at night.
A seafood restaurant with bay views, a breakfast buffet, a deli, a coffee shop, and three bars
This 1,625-room hotel on the bay, near the Seaport Village Shopping Center and the San Diego Convention Center, has an impressive, elegant lobby -- but the big rooms, despite the 46-inch flat-screens and iPod docks, are a little bland and starting to show their age. The similarly priced Hotel Solamar has nicer rooms in a more happening Gaslamp Quarter location, though the Manchester is set to complete a major room renovation by fall 2013.

Homes in Anderson County had to be evacuated after a natural gas leak on Wednesday.
Fort Hill Natural Gas was doing maintenance around noon when a line was ruptured and started leaking natural gas along Cheddar Road behind Family Dollar, according to Taylor Jones of Anderson County Emergency Management.
Jones said a reverse 911 call was made to residents within a quarter mile of the leak, telling them to shelter in place and kill ignition sources.
Four homes in the area were evacuated, according to Jones.
Whitfield Fire Department responded to the leak and the chief was the one who made the call to evacuate the homes, Jones said.

This capitola coola loose leaf tea blend has an exotic flavor profile that is reminiscent of the summatime. There's a predominant orange character with the lovely sweetness of pineapple. Combined with the natural flavors and tartness of the various dried fruits, this tea is a summertime cooler--or a wintertime summer reminder.

Saturday Art Workshop
Visionary Studio: Saturday Art Workshop is a 9-week program that combines the excitement of creating art with issues in social justice. Saturday mornings, from 10am-12pm, teens research one of four significant social themes (such as imagining the human body, street art, power & the symbol of the fist, and the water crisis) and discover a rich array of innovative, multidisciplinary approaches through which they can visually express their ideas.
Classes are taught by teams of graduate students completing their Certification in Art Education program at New York University. Together, students and teachers consider ways in which artists can and do influence society, and experiment with techniques that include drawing, painting, printmaking, video, photography, 3-dimensional media, and installation. These workshops challenge students to think outside of traditional artistic media and explore how artistic boundaries and influence can be stretched to include what has historically been excluded. As part of the program students participate in a final exhibition inviting a wide audience of parents, friends, teachers, and NYU faculty, to see their work.
High School students do not need a portfolio to apply to the Saturday Art Workshop - classes are free-of-charge, and open to students with all levels of art experience!

Saturday Art Workshop Curriculum
Public spaces like parks, plazas, and city streets all serve as places where people can gather to talk, play, and protest. Since the creation of the first cities, public spaces have been an important part of our democracy. In New York City, Union Square Park has been used for rallies and meetings, as well as to protest government policies. Today, the majority of the public spaces in NYC are privately owned and so restrict groups of people from gathering. Artists have always created art for public spaces, and today, many artists are putting their work in public and reclaiming public space to comment on various issues that affect our communities. Students in this class will reflect on the differences between public art and activist public art and experiment with public art forms and media to address social issues and concerns.
2. 21st CENTURY METROPOLIS
Our cities are in constant flux - old buildings are torn down and new ones are built, long time residents leave, new residents move in. Increasingly city planners are working more closely with real estate agencies and businesses and many neighborhoods in NYC are rapidly changing. Gentrification displaces poorer residents with high rents, higher taxes, and more expensive services and stores. Artists play a role in gentrification by moving into neighborhoods where the rent is cheaper, but they also comment on issues of gentrification and the changing city through their work. In this class, students will explore how and why neighborhoods are changing and who the stakeholders are. Students will learn about the work of contemporary artists who address issues of gentrification and urban change in order to consider their own visions and aspirations for the neighborhoods and the city where they live.
While the existence and effects of global warming continues to be debated in the news, it is obvious that our cities are being affected by stronger and more devastating weather. From Hurricane Sandy in 2012 to the tornado that struck Brooklyn in 2011, severe weather is changing city life and raising questions about our personal and social responsibilities. What is global warming and how have artists responded to climate change and other environmental concerns in their work? In this class, students will look at how our ecological footprint is changing the planet and how art can investigate environmental issues, draw attention to ecological concerns, and perhaps propose new ideas and even solutions for the future.
Food is a basic human need and right. While we used to produce our own food, we now rarely see where or how our food reaches our plates. From cafeterias to five star restaurants what are the issues that influence where food comes from, how it is produced, and who eats it? Many artists today are looking at food production and consumption in order to propose alternative systems for generating, sharing, and representing food. Other artists are using art as a means to research and raise awareness about the food we eat, as well as to discuss ethnic and national conflicts in various parts of the world. In this class, students will have the opportunity to find about a wide range of artistic projects related to food and food issues, and make their own work that explores the intersections between food issues, social awareness, and art.
Who controls money in our society? The recent financial crisis in the United States caused many people to lose their homes and jobs. The differences between a small percentage of rich people (1%) who control our economy and the vast majority who struggle to make a living (99%) has led many artists to comment on our financial institutions, corporations, capitalist structures and the relationships to how we live our lives within those systems. Students will explore what role money plays in their lives and in the lives of people in their communities as well as how money is connected to larger financial institutions and global systems. Students will also learn about a range of artistic projects that address how money functions in our economy and create their own work exploring the influences of money on our daily spending habits, personal rituals, and lives.

I guess this discussion speaks to the "policing" of climbing development in general. In the old days (before I was doing any new routing, at least) the number of climbers and therefore bolters was small and it seems that it was sort of an apprenticeship scenario. An older climber would take a newbie under his or her wing and show them the ropes. We no longer live in that era. Instant publicity like this internet forum, cheap hardware available on line, newer climbers starting out in gyms, and the proliferation of sport climbing has really changed the game. Whether we like it or not, the government (i.e. land managers, park rangers) will step in when they see us fail to appropriately manage ourselves. I don't know what the solution is, but it would be nice if we could come to some consensus before we lose the freedom we have in our pursuits.
dood, let's just pretend like it's early nineties and drill a bunch of pockets next to those bolts and then we can all climb it!
Well, I'm surprised that this route has caused such a discussion here, but I'm glad that it has as it reflects not only the local but broader climbing communities care about the rock and our ethics interacting with it. Obviously I need to clarify myself on my intentions and thoughts for bolting this route, realizing that my post was misleading on how much time and thought I put into this. CCC is home to me, and I want to make sure that I take care of it and respect it just like so many others of you do. So let me clarify myself a bit. It's true that my original thoughts were that the line looked impossible, and I wouldn't bolt something that I honestly thought could not be climbed. But I also know through personal experience that through time, work, effort and dedication the impossible can become possible; and in that interest I thought I should take a closer look and see for myself what this 'impossible' line was all about. I also gave consideration to all of the valid points many people have brought up; does this line need to go in? is it a squeeze job? will I be able to determine good bolt placements? will anyone ever climb it? Especially valid considering it cost me around $100 to equip it. Well after inspecting the line for some time on a rope looking for the natural weakness and good clipping stances, I was surprised at how much was actually there. I realized that large sections of this route I could climb, while others looked guarded by difficult boulder problems a few grades above my(current) limit. But as always, the more I looked the more I found, and I became excited about the climbing, position, and exposure you feel up there. After that I felt that this line was definitely good and worth bolting; it was clean, independent, and I never felt close to Interstellar Overdrive or Roadrunner. I followed the natural weakness in the rock, and gave much thought to clipping positions and safety. But it is true that I could have misplaced a few bolts, and could have detracted from the climbing or created the necessity to move one or two. I gave it lots of thought before each bolt placement, but even on routes I've top-roped first I haven't always nailed 'em perfect. I think if you develop routes you know this as well as I do. Another thought I had regarding this route was about development in general. I realized that the other routes I had bolted had been for my own pleasure; near my own limit and red-tagged to get the FA. I have nothing against this practice in general as lots of work goes into routes, but I also feel that I needed to do more than just develop for myself. Maybe picking a 5.14 line first was a poor choice, maybe it would have been better to try to find a sweet 5.10. Maybe I just shouldn't have tagged it at .14+ and put it at .13+ instead; more people would probably try it. It isn't a 'practice' of mine to just bolt routes I can't do, nor is the more common practice of bolting everything I can do. I bolt lines that I find exciting and engaging, and that I think others will as well. I think this is a good line and will become a popular hard route, and that's why I bolted it. Thanks to everyone for the constructive criticism on this line and development in general, it has given me lots to think about before developing another. Lets keep up the discussion and have fun climbing. Ethan Hunt
Randy Leavitt bolted Jumbo Love. Chris Sharma got the FA. Most climbers I know called the FA of Jumbo Love a great progression for sport climbing. Nobody came down on Randy for bolting something he couldn't send. Ultimately, I think there is a fine line between development and hubris. But if Luke Childers is psyched about the new route, why can't the rest of us.
I'm pretty sure Randy worked the thing before realizing it was beyond him. With steep OH stuff you pretty much have to lead it to see how it goes, at a certain angle top-rope previews don't work. I also didn't want to come off as overly critical, I'm generally ambivalent about this; I'm only leaning to thinking that its not something we want to see more of. Here's a few constructive criticisms:
With Ed mentioning the last pitch on Yankee Clipper, I have gained more insight into this. If you can see the line, well, why not? And for that route I think the last pitch actually gets you to the ridge top, or at least the little rib coming down from the mountain on that wall. So that makes perfect sense. But something in the 5.14 range to me would be very, very difficult to "see" unless you could climb at that grade. Like it was mentioned, bolt placement would be very important. Anyway, it's not like one of those Dieckhoff cartoons with the little guy saying "Mine, mine, me!" and bolting everything. I sure miss seeing those in Climbing. Remember?
My approach on putting up sport climbs is to rap down on them first and work out the moves: just get an idea if I can actually do the thing before I put any bolts in, even an anchor, since sometimes you don't really know quite where it's going to end exactly. Once I'm reasonably sure I can do it, then I put in the anchor, spot the bolts where the crux of the climb isn't clipping in, and clean off any choss and vegitables. I go through the moves several times to be sure the bolts are placed correctly before I put them in. There have been several lines I've attempted that were over my head when I was initially working on them and I didn't develop those lines because I felt I wouldn't do a good job of it. Vance White has taken over a few of these and completed them, but he's a much better climber than I am. My guiding idea here is that if you go out and put in a bunch of hardware when you can't do it, you're just going to make a mess of it, since if you can't do the moves, you can't know where to place the hardware so that the crux of the route isn't clipping in. There's always going to be some kid coming along who will be able to do it. It's just amazing what the youngin's are doing these days. When you screw up a piece of stone like that, you are taking away the opportunity for that kid to experience the great feeling of doing something for the first time ever that no one else has done before. That's a terrible rip-off of future youth, just so you can blow your ego up. It's seems really backwards to me to just go throw in bolts and then hope you can do it.
Well, as the OP here, I was mostly trying to understand the motives and thought processes of what went on here. I have to say that I've learned a lot, but that with my old school trad values and not really "getting" the sport thing, it still seems strange to me. But then, I'm nowhere near as comfortable with a smartphone as my 14 yr old nephew is, so I'll entertain the possibility that I have some things to learn. I guess that Time Will Tell (might be a good alternate name for the climb), but this sure brought up a lot more issues than I thought it would and I'm glad that the route setter decided to explain himself in a calm and logical manner. Pull Hard - Scott Mossman
Debate is over...i free soloed then downclimbed it last night with a headlamp. I will give it 5.14b
I for one don't think it is weird to bolt something that is too hard for you. There is a lot of precendent for this in sport climbing. A few routes come to mind. Hasta La Vista (Bolted by Yaniro I think, sent by Sharma) Necessary Evil (not sure who bolted it, but Sharma sent it first and didn't bolt it) To Bolt or Not to Be (bolted by Watts?, sent by Tribout) and of course Jumbo Love
Interesting topic. I sometimes bolt stuff I can't do easily, or, well. And, I hate to project climbs. Usually pass it off to a stronger partner immediately then hope I can at least follow it. I don't spend a bunch of time friggin' around on a line. Sometimes I suss out the bolt placements and maybe, every blue moon, I'll work the moves to see if it goes. But, usually, I eyeball the line, clean off the dangerously loose stuff, stab in reasonable placements, then, I sorta get as close to an onsight as that method allows by climbing it for the first time by leading it. At least, that's what I usually do. Works most of the time. For the times it doesn't, my partner gets a sweet route to do. Sometimes I see a real neat line and I'll offer to equip it if someone I know wants to get a try on it. But, I usually won't bolt something I don't think I'll stand a chance on. Fun to hear other folks' thoughts on how they do it. Every one has a different eye for a line. Not easy to get it "right" for the masses. On what I think might be harder routes for me to do, I have to really restrain where I make fixed placements so the route isn't custom for especially my height. At over six foot, I can reach fairly high to clip off a stance or a hold, even drilling on lead. But, folks' have different styles and strengths. Neat to see someone hike a route that I have trouble on, just by doing a move that I hadn't figured out.
Wow, this is the cleanest thread that's happened on here for awhile. Good on everyone for keeping it that way. Seems a little dangerous to me to be bolting something that the bolter can't climb, sets a bad precedent with possible consequences as mentioned above. We can sight a few examples of when this happened but that doesn't really make it ok, necessarily. Perhaps if the bolter has someone specific in mind to climb it and that someone asked it to be bolted? Rate it low to get people to find out how hard it actually is.
Bolting routes in and of itself is a creative act that only a few people decide to invest the time and money into. Honestly, it interferes with just going out and having fun climbing on the short term end. It's tons of work. So given that, I think letting those that bolt decide what they want to put time into is the way to go. There are all sorts of motives out there. Some people like to visit places and put in tons of moderate routes after the hard stuff has gone in. That irritates the elitists sometimes, but in other cases that spreads out the crowds and helps everyone. Some like to bolt routes they can later enjoy and perhaps others just see a nice line and work it out, maybe never getting it clean.
So, what do yall think about Sharma bolting the project at Bob Marley crag at the RRG? He said he could "barely hang on the holds", but he decided to bolt it anyway. Sharma is probably the strongest sport climber around, and he didn't think it was possible for him anytime soon. He essentially bolted it to inspire future climbers. Is this the same, or does Sharma get a free pass because he is so strong? Disclaimer: Coming from NC, some of the bolting I see in CO is pretty overkill and I am not arguing in favor of this route, just pointing out another example of this behaviour by a Pro climber who we all probably respect. Ben
I guess I don't really have an opinion on this particular route, but in general I think the practice of bolting something for the future should be defended, when done in moderation. I've been the fortunate recipient of someone else's vision, and for me personally it was a tremendous gift. In the case of Carnage (aka "Wild Virus"), I never, ever would have bolted that line myself, and I imagine no one else would have either. Not only did I get a rad FFA, but it inspired me to look for other undone lines and bolt & send some things myself. I'd like to think the entire community has benefited as a result of one bolter's selfless act ~20 years ago. I think it says a lot that Sharma, who spent the first decade of his career benefiting from this sort of thing, is now "paying it forward" to future generations. Clearly he deems it valuable. That said, this sort of thing should be done sparingly.
I agree basically with everything that Mr. Anderson said. The one interesting thing that I never thought about was what a previous post said. Someone mentioned that you might be stealing the full FA experience from a future climber by bolting a line. I never thought about the possibility that someone would be upset that a sport route was cleaned, bolted, and ready to go for them. But again that speaks to why a particular person wants to develop a particular route.
As a climber who has scooped up a number of routes in Clear Creek that had been abandoned by their equippers, I find some of the criticism of this effort somewhat bewildering. The route is on a well-established wall that is already covered with sport routes so there is zero real environmental impact. The equipper saw an excellent line, one that has been speculated about by many, no doubt, including myself, and he decided to put in bolts. Judging by the number of bolts, it is not overbolted or squeezed. If it goes, and I see no reason why it shouldn't, the Front Range could have a truly classic 14+ that is in a popular and easily accessible place. The equipper also opened the project to anyone which is quite generous, considering the time, effort and expense involved in bolting the route. The grumblings about old school/new school are about 20 or 30 years out of date. There are many examples of pathbreaking projects worldwide that were equipped by people incapable of climbing them but who recognized a good line when they saw it. Maybe we should wait for the opinion of someone who can more accurately assess the project's quality firsthand. For my part, I say a loud thank you to Jay and anyone else who takes the trouble to bolt a good-looking line, regardless of grade.
Coeus:"I for one don't think it is weird to bolt something that is too hard for you. One thing to remember is that there are a lot more people climbing 5.14 that we would like to admit to ourselves. This "cutting edge" potential 14+ may seem unreasonable to bolt today, but will probably see more traffic in the future." This is on point imo... looking more globally, where 5.14 is not even hard, as all kinds of kids (and not so kids) are onsighting mid-upper 5.14, even over here... climbingnarc.com/2011/03/5-14a-onsight-by-sasha-digiulian-in>>> certainly Ondra has benefited and has put up numerous lines which were "pre bolted"...I'm not sure he has put in his own line at these upper grades yet, but I'm sure when he does later in his career given his continued improvement, we could be seeing 9c and even 10a! looking at the '8a' scorecards, '9a' is getting pretty easy for "the world"....how about a dozen 9a or harder routes in the last year? www.8a.nu/?IncPage=http%3A//www.8a.nu/user/Profile.aspx%3FUs>>> Have never climbed abroad, but from my limited understanding, often times the bolter is given credit...imo not so much a dangerous precedent to create undoable routes (for you), but something that is positive and pushes standards forward. In terms of the argument of possible bad bolting, no biggie, if you watch guys like Sharma and Ondra, a lot of times they are skipping quite a few clips anyhoos, yeehaw! Just watch the first (and last) 15 secs...
Is it really necessary to bolt something to "inspire" people? The line still exists without the bolts.
What has the potential for being lost here is that those who are capable of high-end projects losing the opportunity to personally equip, unlock and realize the potential of such lines. There is a HUGE difference between merely climbing a route and being its creator. If all you do is equip it, you have achieved nothing. And if all you do is climb it, then you just have a tick on your resume. But if you create and send, then its a bit of a personal testament. Still, this whole thing rates really low on my give-a-shit meter. I think consensus is we don't really care much one way or the other, just don't want to see this become a popular trend.

I'll admit it. I'm a bit of a travel junkie, and It's that time of year where I'm feeling the itch to just pack a suitcase and say la vie! As a seasoned traveler I've picked up a few tips or two on how to save.
After all, being stranded somewhere with little to no cash isn't exactly down time! But with a little guidance, you'll be sipping your mojitos, getting a nice tan, and feeling the nice summer breeze.
1. First things first, flights can be expensive and can limit your dream vacation that you've been planning in your head. Everyone knows about last minute deals and cheap airfare that you can get with Travelcity coupon codes and CheapOAir coupon codes, but what most don't know is that you can get even further savings by using CouponTrade's coupons which can get you as much as $50 off your airfare on their sites.
2. Look for Hotel packages with a theme. You can get a romantic getaway that includes riding horseback on the beach, or go for a kayaking adventure. These deals often include breakfast as well as lunch. Also, when traveling, save on food while going to the local stores for snacks, instead of always eating out, that way you can use the extra money for that fancy restaurant that your guidebook recommended you.
3. If you're traveling abroad, invest in a Eurorail pass. It's a great way to view the scenery as well as travel more places without having to rent a car. You can travel throughout Germany or Italy starting at $51 with a 1-country pass, and up to two countries starting at $176. If renting is more your style, check out CouponTrade's coupons for car rental services!
4. Last of all, travel light! I know it gets said a lot, but I've learned the hard way that I do not need 4 pairs of shoes, two suitcases, or even a blow dryer (most hotels accommodate that, but check first). You'll be surprised at what you can get along with, and it can even feel freeing. Also, be sure to invest in a good suitcase or backpack that will last throughout the trip. Check out our luggage coupon codes to find the right pack for you!

Replacement Console Humidifier Filter E
Product Reviews Add your own review
Your web site was easy to follow and I found what I needed right away. I received it when you told me I would and I''m useing them now
Have always felt that these humidifier filters to be top notch. Lasted somewhat longer than anticipated and alwaysfunction better and longer when proper humdifier treatment and cleaanliness is observed.
Just wish the daned things weren't so costly. In a single year the filters cost more than the humidifier itself!
We are so thankful you offer the Honeywell Filter. We have searched at stores & on line. And your price was very reasonable. Thanks again.
I use these filters constantly and found it easier to shop with KAZ than try to find it at Sears or Home Depot Great product
The filter works well and the convience of ordering on line has saved me alot of running around. I also really like the added assistance your web page provides in helping me find the right filter.
We have two humidifiers in our home that require this filter. We are very pleased with the product.
The filter works fine and the humidifier puts out all the water from 1 load in less than 24 hours.
Good product.
Winter months have struck early this year in the Bluegrass. We needed to replace our filter sooner than expected and could not find the replacement filter anywhere except the kaz.com site. The quality of the filter is top-notch. We appreciate it being a Honeywell filter and not an imitation. Ordering and shipping was faster than most other retailers.
The service was quite good and I anticipate ordering again, especially in the winter when I most use the humidifier.
These filters arrived promptly, are original Honeywell filters, and work fine in my humidifier. This is a great relief after suffering from inferior, non-Honeywell filters from other vendors (not Kaz). Finally, the prices from Kaz are very competitive.
I look forward to making additional purchases from Kaz and highly recommend them.
The filter was delivered in a reasonable amount of time. The filter is easy to insert and seems to be doing a good job. We use the humidifier 24 hours a day in the winter. I''m hoping the filter will last a least a month.
The filter we ordered was delivered within a few days of placing the order. It's easy to insert into the humidifier. Seems to be working well. We use our humidifier 24 hours a day. I'm hoping the filter will last at least one month.
was a perfect replacement. When people order this type of product, you should automaticlly suggest the antimicrobial cleaning cartridge. I forgot to order and had to place a separate order wasting postage. I''m sure other products could also use suggestions of what may go with the item ordered. Money for you, savings for us.
What kind of title are you looking for under "Title"
LOVE our Honeywell Filter, great product , does the job extremely well. Not overly expensive.
Great prices. Easy to order and quick delivery time. Always get my humidifier filters and needs from Kaz.com.
Filter works fine. Wish it was of a more durable fabric though like plastic maybe. Would also like to know if something scented could be put in the water. It would be nice.
Wow, I had no idea that my humifidier effectiveness would be enhanced so much by getting a replacement filter. Your website made it fast and easy to get the filter replaced-- the right filter for the humidifier came quickly. Thanks!
I am very happy with the replacement filter for my Honeywell Console Humidifier. The ordering process was easy and the delivery was quick.
The folters are easy to order on-line, and the turnaround is reasonable. There is not an email confirming the on-line order, however, but one appears when it it sent to shipping.
Thank God I found the right filter for this machine, only four tries later. We use the machine every night, as it is very dry in my house because of the forced hot air. The moisture in the air keeps us breathing well thoughout the night so that we can get a good night sleep.
Really like the filter. I wish it were easier to find in the stores, though. But through the website was just as easy.
This is a great humidifier if you want to keep a larger (13 X 15 ) room at a higher humidity, as I do for my cigar and pipe collection. You do need to fill the water reservoirs at least daily, however, and the filter should be changed every other month.
I have had a hard time finding replacement filters for my humidifier at local stores. I received fast, prompt service from Kaz.com. I will definitely order from here again.
We've used this kind of filter for two years now in our humidifier. It does what it should - it lasts a whole season without having to replace. We keep a lollipop and humidifier treatment in our water tanks to minimize/prevent mold and mildew and have not had a problem at all. Would definitely buy this product again.
Ordering was simple and delivery was very quick. I am very please with the service that I received. Thank You
We are very satisfied with this filter. It keeps the humidifer running smoothly and quietly. We would recommend this to anyone.
First of all THANK YOU Kaz! Great company to order from. We have yet to find our filters in the local stores. The filter is also great. fits well and holds the water.
We love our humidifier - even if it is old. This site is a godsend to those of us that still want to use our old humidifier. Thanks and keep up the good work.
As usual with Kaz.com, oredered the part online and the product received was correct and delivered in a timely manner. Will have another order in 3 months.
Happy Customer
The filters work great for about a month. Then I have to purchase another one. They get so hard and crunchy that they don't absorb water anymore. I purchased my humidifier at Target, but they don't carry the filters anymore which is very frustrating since I have to order them and pay shipping costs.
Bought a new humidifier and this is the filter for it. It works great and lasts longer than the previous model filters.
I love the kaz website! I found the filter I needed, ordered it and received it right away. Packaging was the best, no damage to filter box from freight handlers as has happened from other vendors. I will continue to do business with kaz. Thank you.
Not only am I pleased with the Humidifier filter, but the service is great. Kaz shipped the item immediately..
My Honeywell humidifier works great. Just the write amount of moisture in the air. it makes it so much better for me to breathe, and my skin is not so dry anymore.
This is at least the third time I've overed this filter (yearly). It arrives exactly as advertised. The price is good and service timely.
Great Product/Great Price! Long Lasting. Great Website: Easy Ordering, Quick Shipping!
the filter is great! It holds up very well & performs for the time frame that it claims it will. Now if it would be offered online in multi-packs, that would be even better!
Product arrived a few days after I ordered it on the internet. It was the correct item and I installed it on my humidifier upon receipt.
These filters can't be bought locally anymore even though the humidifiers cme from a 'big box' store. After finding out all the 'H'umidifiers were all made by Kaz, it wasveasynto find the proper replacement. Perfect fit, reasonable price!
The filter works really fine for me...since I live in a large studio apartment heated by forced air...this is a mus tfor me.
Bought "universal" filters, but they were flat and did not fit. This filter popped right in and went right to work. tThanks!
We were having trouble with the humidifier not shutting off automatically. We tried cleaning the filter and it seemed to help for a short time. With this new filter it seems to run like it did when we first purchased it. Thank you.
I used to purchase filters for my humidifier from local stores. The filters offered in the stores would last about 2 months each filter at best. The filters I currently purchase from Kaz last the complete season which is about 6 months for each filter.
The HC-14 filter does an excellent job with filtering the products from the air and the water. They are the best!
I have tried several humidifiers. I like the ones that have filters with alot of serfice area. I also like the 9 gallons of water that this unit holds.
The Humidifier Filters for my unit work very well and help keep my house from drying out in the winter.
I wish they were easier to find locally, but the delivery service works well.
I've been using our new HC-6009 hmidifier with the Kaz/Honeywell filter for about three weeks, and the filter still looks new, with no signs of mold, scale or disintegration. Before purchasing the unit I read numerous reviews, including many complaints about the filters, but I haven't seen those problems. I carefully follow the manufacturer's recommendations on maintenance (some of which I got via a usuful phone conversation with a Kaz support rep). Specifically, I flip the filter at every tank filling (takes about 15 seconds), I use the Protec antimicrobial cartridge, and I've been doing the vinegar and beach cleanings once a week (but I'm going to try stretching this to once every 2 weeks). With what I've seen so far, I expect to need no more than two filters per winter, which doesn't seem bad at all. There were also many complaints about the cost of the filters, but with the Kaz club membership I paid $18 apiece for some spares, not the $25 that people were complaining about. I see no need to try any of the aftermarket filters. So my conclusion is that if you do proper maintenance, you'll be fine.
I've been purchasing these filters for a whle now and you can't get a better filter at a better price.Kaz has filters and humidifers for all spaces. Thank you Kaz
The filter we needed was hard to find in local stores. So we got on line, found our filter after a qucik online search on the website, and ordered it in a matter of minutes. Better yet, they even gave us a discount. The ordering was easy and the price seemed reasonable, and we received the filter in a matter of days.
After trying to find the filter in area stores I was able to get the filter I needed at Kaz.com delivered within couple of days. The filter was the one advertised and constructed just as good as the original
The web site made it very easy to find the filter I needed. It is easy to forget the exact type of filter to buy because we only use the humidifier seasonaly. My order was promply mailed to me with no problems at all.
These are the brand name, original filters. Perfect fit. Better price than the local suppliers. Very prompt delivery. No problems. I have been using Kaz for a few years now. Always pleased.
I puchased this filter for my Honeywell humidifier and have ben pleased with its performance. We have very hard water in our town bu this filter still has held p well after several weeks of continuous use.
We have been using our humidifier all the time with this winter cold. After a while the filter just loses its ability to work effectively due to buildup and so forth. I am so glad I ordered this replacement! Totally changed the efficiency of the humidifier and the quality of the air! Thank you
I like the fact that I am now on a monthly notification system. No more wondering if it's time to replace the filter...YAY
Great service is what it's all about. You can find this filter just about anywhere, but not the service. Kaz continues to impress me with speedy delivery, great online products and excellent customer service. A fine job all around.

I have been looking around for replacement filters for my humidifier. I have tried Amazon and Target then I discovered ordering the filters here. There are slight variances in the filters that bear the label E such as whether the blue layer is on the inside or outside. The last one I bought through Amazon was not nearly as good as the one bought here. The one bought here s lasting much longer and I got free shipping plus discount after becoming a member. I will re-order all my filters here from now on and not bother looking elsewhere. Just allow 10 days or so before actually needing the filter to be sure you receive in time.
My humidifier very suddenly stopped working, or rather it would only process about 10 % of the water it normally does. I assumed it was broken, but tried a new filter and now it works perfectly again
These Honeywell humidifiers work so well in about 2000 Sq ft, but, the filters must be changed monthly for top performance. Our home is comfortable for the 3 winter months here in the south.
The water canisters are filled sometimes 2x day, so the humidity is being absorbed completely, we have lots of expensive wood work with no separation or cracks.
These filters cost more than the filters you will find on Amazon, but they are worth it. The Honeywell Protec filter will allow you to get the rated capacity out of your humidifier and last twice as long. The filters I have purchased on Amazon are not OEM, do not last as long, and do not wick the water nearly as well as the Honeywell filters. Flip your filter once a day to get even more life out of them.
I ordered this product, got it fast, and at the best price. Thanks and I will reorder from this site again
The filter was easy to install (Thank God!) and our humidifier is now working beautifully again. It has been a treacherous winter in Chicago and we have needed the humidity afforded by our humidifier. Now with this filster we now have it and will continue to have it with the filter alert. The price was right on and service was perfect. Thank you Kaz.
Exactly what I wanted and could not find anywhere else. Thanks for having this product available!
This filter is a better quality filter compared to the one I had purchased on Amazon. So glad I got 2!
Excellent machine. Output is terrific. It takes the humidity from mid twenties up to the mid fourties in a very large family room.
Runs 8 to 10 hours on a fillup
Easy to fill, large openings for easy cleaning.
Very quiet on low and medium speed whic is all we need.
Good quality filter but a little expensive.
Please keep making the HC-14N Filters for our humidifier. We have had the humidifier for several years & can no longer find the filters in the store.
The filters work very well at removing mineral deposits and other impurities from the water entering into the 2 Honeywell Humidifiers that I have in my apartment.
This covered filter lasts longer than the replacemetn wicks that can be purchased elsewhere. I rely on my humidifier as we have forced air and it becomes very dry, very quickly. Good product.
Thanks for your speedy delivery of exactly the product necessary for our humidifier to run at its top efficiency.
The filter is better than the original product marketed with the humidifier which I purchased 6 yrs ago. I am very happy with it and will be using KAZ.com for future purchases. Prices are right.
It's the right filter and the right price. 2nd purchase on this filter and there will be many more
We bought a Honeywell Humidifier for our home due to the cold weather this winter. This media part of this filter works very well in raising the humidity in our house. The exterior covering keeps room dust out of the media and protects against mold. This price is right so that you can afford to change the filter peripdically as recommended.
They make the process very simple, which I appreciate. I don't have time to search all around for what I need.
Ordering & shipping was great once we found were to go...
It was tough finding what filter we needed. No your fault...it did not say on our machine!
Your price and availablity of filters is excellent.
For the past 3 years you have supplied the filters I need and use each year.
Filter works great...lasts about a month...wish I could find them in stores though..save me some cost.
Filter performed well. The wicking action of these type filters without the dust protective layer tends to dry them out rapidly, but this model has lasted very well.
It was great to find one site that I could buy all my filters for my humidifier and air cleaners. The items were shipped immediatley.
We have had our humidifier for several years and the filters we purchace on line are always very good. I don't give a five star rating because I feel there is always room for improvement in any product.
The filters are great they are definately the ones I need to run my humidifier. I just have to say that I can''t believe how expensive they are for something that you throw away in a month or longer. But with the sale that I caught with Kaz they were the cheapest.
I got the new filter for my Honewell humidifier. I have a 4 gallon humidifier and with the new filter, this thing is now cranking out 8 gallons of moisture a day. A new filter really helps, so watch your old one for discoloration and reduced output.
Hard to find this filter anywhere- fits the HCM 600 (even though on humidifier box it says I need a "D". That's a lie) Glad to have found it in this cold winter!
Filters appear to be factory original matching the filters that came with the unit identically.
Shipping time and cost were reasonable.
Filters are quite expensive and filter life is not as good as suggested by the manufacturer.
I love this system! After decades of wheel-filter humidifiers which got moldy and stinky almost immediately, and sonic humidifiers that left a wet area around the base of the unit and white powder on everything, this filter poped in and lasted me a month and a half, and kept the interior of the humidifier very clean. People in hard water areas may have a different experience as far as water scale, but this humidifier worked well in aerating and dispersing water into the air.
The filter is fine, easy to install and use. Finding the correct filter on the Honeywell website, however, is a nightmare. In addition to being shunted off to KAZ, the model num ber of the humidifier ( HCM-6012i Quiet Care) is difficult to identify and locate. The variouys purchase options (single filter, multi-pack, etc) are also difficult to understand. It should be as easy as.... "what is your model number?...and...how many filters do you want? "
I've had the Honeywell humidifier for 6 years now, and after trying a couple of lesser quality filters, I've decided to stick with this one, for quality reasons. As a former purchasing manager, I lean towards buying products that offer the best total value, even if I pay a little more up front. At our house, this filter lasts the whole winter season, and even appears to catch some of the stray dog hair that occasionally gets sucked into the unit. Unfortunately the price seems to increase yearly. Regardless, Kaz' price was the best I found, when taking into account the Savings Circle discount and free shipping.
I sent for the filters for my Honeywell humidifier and received them in good shape and in a timely manner. Thank you for that! I only thing I still would like to know is about the operationof the madhine itself. I received and printed out the booklet that was emailed to me. I have read it and cannot find out how to put the Protec Cleaning Cartridge in the machine. Does it move around or stay put? Which way do I lay the end? This is what I need to know to be able to run the machine correctly if this makes a difference about the cartridge in it. Since it can go either way, I wanted to know. Thank you for your help.
I was unable to find my filter at any vender until I found KAZ. Thanks for being there.......
My wife and I really like to have our home properly humidified during the winter and summer, so we run the humidifier with the Honeywell filter and it adds the proper amount of moisture to the house. We keep the Honeywell unit running all the time, day and night with a ceiling fan running, since we have a valulted ceiling living area.
I'm pleased with this filter for my Honeywell humidifier. It does the job it's supposed to do.
It is a good filter, works fine, but it seems to be a bit larger than the original that came with the humidifier. It didn't give problems; maybe slightly more noise in the beginning, but that could have been because the humidifier wasn't used in 2 years.
overall good rating, not sure bout the cost especially pice compared to other filters
Product works well for about a month. It is cleanable by soaking in a basin of warm water for 5minutes or so and then squeezing gently. Repeat several times until the water coming out is clear. This can extend the life of the filter.
The convenience, ease, pricing and time frame for shipping was great. It was one less item I had to look for while shopping, which I always forgot to do. I will order more filters as I neexd them from Kaz
Expensive but serves the purposes. Filter reflects results, but has a short life span. According to directions, it can be rinsed clean and reused. Find it is not as effective as when was new.
I order the filter and within 4 days it arrived. It was exactly what the website said it was and has worked like it should.
Honeywell Filter are expensive and can not be reused. Unable to wash without them falling apart. Otherwise work OK with a minimal lifespan.
the product itself is good. however i am not happy spending what it cost for each filter. i bought this humdifier at walmart and have been able to get the filters there too up until lately. i was able to get them for 12.00 a piece now they are double that.
Shipped quickly.
Gathers a lot of mold and becomes smelly after a week or so of use :(.
Generally the filter works OK with this humidifier. They don't seem to last very long, unfortunately. Perhaps a six weeks to a couple months before it needs replacing. Over time this adds up.
You shipped me Protec extended life Humidifier filters(2) instead of the correct ones.
I had to call, and you sent me the replacements(correct) filters. That was about eight to ten days after I received the wrong shipment which took about eight to ten days.
I was not in need of the filter since I still had one backup, and the one in the humidifier was still OK.
item is what i needed - order # - standard filter - what-have-you
package it was shipped in was very damaged
box/contents were fine...
price much higher than last years purchase- $12.99 last year $19.99 this year when purchased thru kaz.com.
your text box to enter comments on for review not functionin properly -fyi
I bought this filter and within two weeks the filter was filthy and moldy. It was very disappointing. I spent $19 on something that had to be immediately replaced. Now I only use filtered water, and that costs a ton! The filter did not do what I needed it to do.
This filter starts smelling like wet dog quickly. We have city water and haven't used any additives.
The filter that came with the humidifier worked for about 2 months w/o incident. The 2nd filter lasted 1 week. The 3rd filter lasted 3 weeks, and now I'm on the 4th -- which appears to probably only last 2-3 weeks. The humidifier is great. The filters need significant improvement.
This unit does the humidifier thing very well but it does not shut off when the selected humidity is reached. It constantly show 20 degrees no matter what it is set at. Thye don't make this unit anymore so can't replace with another same model.
find the right filter for
your product.

Tooth whitening starts from
as little as £300.
Dark, stained and unsightly teeth can be improved easily with no tooth preparation by tooth whitening procedures.
Tooth whitening is a bleaching process that lightens discolouration in the enamel outer surface and deeper in the underlying dentine. Oxygen is released during the process and is absorbed into the enamel and dentine and bleaches any intrinsic staining or discolouration. The Process does not cause any damage to the tooth structure.
The most convenient and rapid treatment is done in just over an hour using the Zoom Professional Whitening system. Done in the surgery this involves isolating the teeth and applying a concentrated bleaching gel in a series of three consecutive applications with the use of a powerful light to activate the bleaching process. This achieves the most dramatic shade change and has the advantage that the effect is immediate and is therefore ideal for weddings, important job interviews or if tray bleaching seems too much hassle.
The other treatment method involves application of Carbamide peroxide bleaching gel in soft custom made or prefabricated close fitting trays which fit over the teeth. They are comfortable to wear and the treatment usually involves wearing them at night for a two week period.
There is a cost differential between in surgery Zoom whitening and at home tray bleaching. At home tray bleaching offers a good result on a budget, however, for an excellent, immediate result then you should consider Zoom Professional in Surgery whitening.

Paddy and the Barber.
It was in this town and not far from this spot,
A barber once set up a neat little shop.
He was so good tempered and his smile was so sweet
It was said he could coax people out of the street.
With his latherum shaveum
xLather um shave umx
Lather um shave um
Lather um shave um and frizzle um free.
Now in Dublin he'd lived for many a long year.
He shaved all the natives so clean and co clear.
He came to this town to throw out his sprats
Not macral to catchum, but gudgens and flats.
Now a nice easy shave for a penny he gave.
It was his (our good barbers) maxim to live and let live.
He had an old razor (But an old rusty razor he had) full of notches and rust
To warm all their jaws if they came in for trust.
Now by chance a poor Irishman came by that way
That hadn't had a scrape for many a day,
So he went to the barber and threw down his hod,
And said "Will you shave me (give a shave) for the pure love of God?"
Oh no" said the barber, "I never give trust".
"Oh bejabbers", said Paddy,but this time you must
For the devil a penny have I got to pay
And I haven't had a scrape for many a day."
Oh well" said the barber. "Sit down in that chair
And I'll soon mow your grizzly beard to a hair"
So the lather he spread upon Paddy's broad chin
And with the old xrustyx razor xdidx the barber begin.
"Oh leave off" says Paddy. What the devil are you doing.
Leave off" says he , "or my jaws you will ruin
Who the devil can sit to be shaved with a saw.
Leave off or you'll take every tooth in me jaw"

UFC has accused a Massachusetts bar of showing UFC 104 without coughing up a licensing fee, the Boston Herald reports. According to the newspaper, UFC seeks an award of $640,000 plus legal costs.
The lawsuit filed Tuesday targets an Allston, Mass. bar called The Draft, along with owner Derek Brady. A UFC lawyer cited an eyewitness who claimed the bar showed the promotion's Oct. 24 pay-per-view broadcast by using a laptop computer hooked up to a TV.
I absolutely support the UFC's efforts here. Theft is theft and never acceptable. However, if they believe intimidating lawsuits will end this madness they're absolutely dreaming.
What they ultimately have to provide - in addition to the heavy-handed approach of litigation - is an online portal or interface where fights can be affordably purchased, either individually or collectively. What saved the music industry from piracy was less about Metallica's efforts to crush Napster and more about the industry collectively getting behind iTunes. The Apple software application provided a mechanism for the fans to cheaply obtain their favorite songs under a single platform that made downloading, sorting and organizing easy. More importantly, iTunes (unlike mp3.com or other competitors) was the first and only platform that had the full support of the music industry. That was the real game changer.
The UFC has to create something similar. As it stands, their software on their site is clumsy and difficult to navigate. It only works with certain browsers and even then is not guaranteed to function properly. One also can't get other fights from rival leagues, although the combination of WEC, UFC and PRIDE (maybe WFA or IFL, too?) isn't such a bad combination.
The UFC's PPV stream on Yahoo is ok, but at the same price as regular television pay-per-view it's essentially no alternative at all. Online has to be tantamount to cheaper, at least right now.
I say to the UFC: sue and sue as much as you like. But you won't win the battle without offering MMA fans an online alternative similarly to how iTunes offered music fans a legal, safe method to online downloading.

Kappa Sigma loses its national fraternity charter
Posted By Rebecca Wilson On December 6, 2012 @ 6:25 pm In News,Top Stories | 25 Comments
Administrators at the University of Richmond sent an official statement commenting on the withdrawal of the charter of the Kappa Sigma fraternity Beta-Beta chapter to all the presidents of the university's fraternities and sororities on Thursday, Dec. 6.
Members of the Beta Beta chapter have not released a press statement but two alumni of the chapter, Ryan Byrnes and Brian Ruddock, created a blog post [1] sharing their disapproval of the withdrawal.
"It's difficult to know exactly how Beta Beta arrived where it did this week," Byrnes said in the blog post. "Perhaps the demise began from within, with bad foresight paired with bad fortune leading to a departure from the path to the good of the order.
"Perhaps outside forces accelerated the downfall, with enough allegations made against the chapter – some true, some false – to overshadow the positive actions that brothers continued to do."
Ruddock said: "Outside of my immediate family, no institution has had such a positive and measured impact on my life. To know that Beta Beta may cease to exist, offends a selfish, sentimental part of me. Something that I truly love is gone."
Linda Evans, assistant director for media and public relations at the University of Richmond, could not comment on the matter and was told that any statements would have to come from the Fraternity.
Mitchell B. Wilson, executive director for the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, said the charter had been withdrawn, and the Beta-Beta Chapter would have 30 days to submit an appeal. The charter was withdrawn on Tuesday because of the Chapter's failure to comply with the virtues expected of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, especially but not limited to social function violations that were mainly alcohol-related. The Chapter had been operating under sanctions for the past two years because of previous violations of these policies, and the charter was withdrawn because of the Chapter's continued violations, Wilson said.
Because of the 30-day judicial process with appeals, Wilson could not comment further on the issue.
"It is difficult for the Kappa Sigma Fraternity to realize the loss of a Chapter that has been on our rolls for 114 years," Wilson was quoted in the news release. "Unfortunately, the current undergraduate Chapter did not and would not respond to the change that was necessary. There were opportunities and chances given but the Chapter failed to change. We are deeply disappointed."
The Beta-Beta Chapter had been active and operating since its founding on March 5, 1898, according to the news release.
According to the statement from the University of Richmond, officials from the university will work to help the fraternity return to the university, but such a change would not occur any sooner than four years from now.
