Ryan LaMarre or Kyle Lotzkar?
Two guys that are really close for me. Went with Lotzkar, though I really don't see much of a difference between the two in terms of overall prospect value.
LaMarre, easy.
A lot has to go right for Lotzkar, starting with health.
This was a tough one for me, too, but I went with LaMarre. I might've voted differently if I had seen Lotzkar had some success above rookie-ball. Even when he was in A-ball, he walked too many hitters. I'm sure that won't be as much of an issue in 2011, but I'm just going to use it as the tie-breaker for now.
If all goes well, Lotzkar is a TOR arm.
If all goes well, LaMarre is a solid everyday CF.
I'll go with the TOR arm.
It isn't even close for me in Lotzkar.
Serviceable OF talent is easily, cheaply and readily available in every Minor League system. You can get a LaMarre in almost every draft. A true TOR arm is hard to come by and harder to develop.
Plus RH bat, plus speed, plus OF defense, plus intangibles.Quote:
You can get a LaMarre in almost every draft.
Not as easy to find as you may think.
Lotzkar has had what 2 different set backs with his injury? Love the kids potential ability but in my mind he's almost an afterthought at the moment. I just don't want to get my hopes up. Kind of like Daryl Thompson there for awhile except Thompson wasn't also so far away from contributing when healthy. Not writing Lotzkar off completely but for now he's not in my top 20 LaMarre is.
I think he is very much a Chris Heisey clone.
Just gets more respect and hype because of the higher draft status and Mid-Major Baseball program pedigree...
I think he will be a ML player at some point, don't get me wrong but...
Prospect A - .351/.453/.805
Prospect B - .361/.398/.758
Prospect B is LaMarre's 2010 in Dayton.
Prospect A is Fellhauer 2009 in Dayton.
We all know how Fellhauer's 2010 ended up. To me LaMarre plays to unimportant of a position to be ranked so high.
I went with Lotzkar. He's still quite young and has been dominant when healthy. 33 strikeouts to 2 walks is impressive in any league.
LaMarre looks like Sappelt pre-2010. Where was Sappelt last year?
Well, that was close.

We Dig Session IPAs [Beer Styles]
Sometimes you find yourself in need of a hops fix, but you want to drink a few of them...like, a bunch of a few. The problem? You don't want to be falling down drunk. Let's say your at an all day cookout with friends, and those friends are pretty serious cornhole players (not that I'm talking from personal experience or anything). How do you keep sipping all day without letting your buzz get the best of you?
In the past, IPAs were a serious beer. If you found one around 6% abv, that was a weaksauce IPA. But oh how times have changed! Over the past couple years, a new, more gentle side of IPA has surfaced: the session IPA. Made with all the hop goodness of an IPA, but the alcohol content of a beer you can drink a few of without stumbling, it's the best of both worlds. And, come summer of 2014, this style has blown up in a way that many never dreamed. It seems like every brewery is putting one out, and who can blame them? There's been a bit of a recoil from the "bigger is better" days of craft beer led by the "extreme beer" movement and 10% double IPAs. We gathered up our favorites, so let's check out the lighter side of IPA.
New England Local
Notch Left of the Dial IPA (4.3%)
If you follow our Instagram, Twitter or Facebook then you'll know that this beer is a staple at our cookouts and other summer events. If you buy the beer, you'll find out why. As you bring it to your mouth, you get orange and citrus fruit smells. As you sip you get a clean, but present, malt and a deep hop flavor that coats the tongue gently and then is gone. It's not resiny, it doesn't linger. You enjoy it and then you're done. The point of session beer is to be able to have a bunch and not have the beer be the focus. Left of the Dial does that. Like I said, there's a reason this shows up at our cookouts.
Bantam Cider On the Rise
We all know the story of Johnny Appleseed. He was a pioneer that was born in Massachusetts and traveled west, planting apple trees wherever he went. Most of the apples that came from those trees weren't edible, so many settlers decided to use them to make hard cider. A lot has changed for cider since the days of the frontier. Craft cideries have sprung up across the country, and they're using much more than just apples in their cider.
One such cidery is Bantam Cider in Somerville, Massachusetts. Dana Masterpolo and Michelle da Silva founded Bantam back in 2012 with a mission of crafting unique and memorable ciders using the best ingredients they could find. A few months ago they opened a new tap room in their Somerville space. In order to explore the world of craft cider, I traveled out to the Bantam tap room to speak with one of the founders and sample some of Bantam's ciders.

When I arrived at the tap room I decided to take a look around. The industrial space was simple yet elegant. Of course, the first thing I noticed was the beautiful wooden bar and the eight taps featuring Bantam's ciders in the middle of the room. I soon realized that I could see everything that was going on at the cidery, from the tanks where the cider's fermentation takes place to the bright tank where cider is carbonated and stored after it has fermented. I even saw the barrels that some of the cider, such as one called La Grande, is aged in.
Dana Masterpolo came soon after I arrived to greet me. I had plenty of questions for her, but my first was on what prompted them to open up a tap room of their own. "When we first started, we didn't really have a way to connect with the people that were drinking our products," Masterpolo says. "That was really important to us. We wanted to get feedback. We wanted people to get to know us. We wanted people to see our process." She told me about how they are now able to engage in more trial and error with their products. "Sometimes we'll only have a really short run of something we only have for a couple of weeks. Maybe that's all it deserves. But sometimes it's the surprising thing where we put something on and people respond very positively."
Hopsters Brew & Boards: Enhancing The Culture Of Craft Beer
Drinking craft beer is a unique experience for everyone. All of our palates are different, and they continue to grow and change over time. We may choose to have a craft beer at a bar, a restaurant, or in the comfort of our own homes. How we experience drinking craft beer can be based on who we're with and what we're drinking as well as when, where, and why we are doing so. As we experience more, we learn more about the craft beer we enjoy, including how it's made.
Brewing is both an art and a science. There is a good amount of chemistry and engineering involved in making craft beer along with a great deal of creativity and imagination. Many people first try their hands at homebrewing to make beer for themselves as well as their family and friends. Yet, many people don't get to experience brewing due to the time, money, and space it requires. That's where Hopsters comes in.
The front entrance to Hopsters, located at 292 Centre Street in Newton, Massachusetts.
Hopsters opened in September of 2013 as a place for people to come and brew their own craft beer. Using one of Hopsters' 10 kettles, aspiring brewers are able to choose from over 30 recipes, gather a variety of local ingredients, and begin brewing their beer while being guided by Hopsters' brewmasters. Once the brewing process is complete, they can either return to bottle the beer and add their own custom labels or have the folks at Hopsters do it for them and have it delivered. Of course, the most satisfying part is when they are able to drink the craft beer that they hand-crafted themselves.
Since its opening, Hopsters has become much more than simply a place to brew craft beer. It now has a full bar offering a wide and rotating selection of craft beers from the area on tap. It also offers both lunch and dinner options in the form of soups, salads, sandwiches, flatbreads, as well as boards featuring charcuterie meats and artisanal cheeses. Most recently, Hopsters received its commercial brewing license, making it the first commercial brewery to be located in Newton since the 1600s! This has allowed Hopsters to begin offering its own hand-crafted beers on tap and to have a distributor send their beers to select restaurants, bars, and stores.
After hearing this exciting news, I had to get a better idea of what the Hopsters experience was like. So, I traveled out to Newton to meet with the owner of Hopsters, Lee Cooper. After taking a look around, I sat down with him to talk about the past, present, and future of Hopsters.

How do you get Pro*c to work within MSVC 6?

How do you get Pro*c to work within MSVC 6?
In otherwords compile a .pc file into a .cpp file.
I'm not familiar with Pro*C, but in general it is possible, using a custom build step in MSVC. If you add the .pc file to your project, then view the Project Settings dialog for that file, on the Custom Build tab you can specify the command(s) needed to compile the .pc file to .cpp. You should also enter the name of the output .cpp in the Output section, so that the build system understands the file dependencies, and add the output .cpp to your project, of course.
Visual C++/Visual Studio won't be a big help other than being an editor, but you should be able to get this to work with a Makefile project.
You can do it (unfortunatley I'm not going to be much help as it has been many years since I last used VC6.)
According to my failing memory, we set up the file type '.pc' (in the tools section of VC?) so that VC knew to call proC to generate a .c or .cpp version of the file.
In the custom build tab for the .pc file.
I pop this in the outputs. The output of proc, is a cpp file
There are 2 lines in the commands window. One to set the MSVC 6 environment. The other to invoke proc on the .pc file.
You must add the .cpp file to your project in order to compile it. If you need to debug, set your breakpoints in the .cpp file.
That pretty much covers it.

City council to begin holding work sessionsPublished 11:53am Thursday, February 14, 2013
Dadeville City Council will soon meet 30 minutes earlier on regularly scheduled meeting days with the implementation of a pre-council work session.
"Nearly all cities have a work session," said Mayor Joe Smith. "It's just to discuss everything on the agenda."
The work session was part of a motion by Councilman Mickey Tarpley, who also moved that people who wish to be on the agenda should make that request by Friday at noon and the agenda should be posted by Friday evening.
"Then we've got over the weekend and Monday and Tuesday to discuss and hear what people have to say as far as the council is concerned," Tarpley said.
Tarpley also spoke in favor of the work session, saying it would be a good opportunity to make sure people know what the council is talking about and for the council to discuss issues more fully.
"The work session is just a preliminary planning session to hash some things out," Tarpley said. "It would be an open forum."
Work sessions are open to the public, and the council will not vote on anything until the official start to the meeting at 5 p.m.
The council also discussed helping fund the cost of the concrete pad outdoor basketball court at Dadeville Elementary School.
"I talked to Coach Tolbert," Councilman Randy Foster said. "They have a contractor who will come in … and pour their 60' by 40' pad for $5,000. They are asking us to help as much as we can."
Foster said although he was not sure how much the city could afford to contribute, one thing to take into consideration is that Jackson's Gap council agreed to match Dadeville council's contribution up to $500.
The council also:
- voted to use www.govdeals.com to sell excess property, vehicles and equipment
- agreed to seek additional estimates on repairs for the fire truck
- suspended the rules and amended Ordinance 482 to allow the council to revert to meeting on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month
- approved two requests to reserve the recreation center
The next scheduled council meeting is Feb. 26.

Europe plans to carry out its threat to reimpose the Emissions Trading System on airlines operating outside Europe, after ICAO failed to establish a global emissions-offset scheme earlier this month.
Under a new European Commission proposal, airlines would from 1 January 2014 be liable to taxation under the ETS for the duration of flights over the European Economic Area (EEA).
European carriers will continue to be fully covered by the ETS for the full duration of their flights.
To accommodate the "special circumstances of developing countries", flights from those states that emit less than 1% of global aviation emissions will be fully exempted from the scheme.
The Commission proposal, which requires endorsement by the European Parliament, amends existing ETS guidelines. Under previous legislation, all flights landing or taking off from an airport in the EU were expected to purchase credits for the entire flight's emissions, even if the majority of the flight took place outside EU airspace. The new proposal stipulates that airlines need only purchase credits for the part of the flight that passes over EEA airspace.
In 2012, the Commission was forced to back down on taxing foreign airlines under the ETS following criticism from counties including Russia and the USA that the measure infringed on their sovereignty and risked sparking a global trade war.
At the time, the Commission said the exemption would be for one year until the autumn of 2013, to give ICAO time to agree on a global market-based measure (MBM) to tackle global aviation emissions at its 39th assembly.
ICAO agreed to develop an MBM framework at the assembly, which took place in Montreal. However, this agreement will not be ratified until 2016, and will not come into effect until 2020.
The Commission says it would like to see the proposal agreed by the European Parliament and Council by March 2014 in order to provide "clarity for aircraft operators, who would otherwise have to surrender allowances for all their emissions on flights in 2013 to and from third countries by 30 April 2014".
Speaking at the World Routes conference in Las Vegas earlier this month, John Hanlon, secretary general of the European Low Fares Airlines Association (ELFAA) called on the Commission to stick to its plan to "snap back" to imposing the ETS on airlines: "The EU made a very unequivocal threat that if the ICAO outcome did not reach an agreement at the 2013 assembly and adopt the MBM framework agreement, it would snap back automatically to the full scope of the EU ETS. The parliament supported an EU option to reduce that by applying it to European airspace only, so you only paid over EU airspace, [but] that's been rejected and thrown back in their face.
"Parliament said it would not support a continuation beyond this one year of the derogation that exempts certain flights [from the ETS] but not others. Now we look to the EU to maintain its decision and deliver its promise to return to the full scope of ETS."

FIGURE 5-1 Aerodynamic and tire power consumption for tractor-trailer combination. SOURCE: NESCCAF/ICCT (2009).
The goal of the 21CTP is to conduct research, provide hardware demonstrations, and validate and deploy cost-effective, reliable, and durable technologies that reduce vehicle power demands. The Partnership will continue to utilize a vehicle system approach to continually track the benefits of individual technologies on overall vehicle efficiency and performance. Five primary technology goals applicable to the target tractor-trailer truck are to be achieved over the next 10-year period (DOE, 2011).
1. Goal 1 (reference level of 53 percent aerodynamic power consumption): Reduce the aerodynamic drag coefficient by 20 percent (from a Cd of 0.69). Evaluate a stretch goal of 30 percent reduction in aerodynamic drag. (The baseline is from the Environmental Protection Agency/National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [EPA/NHTSA] final rule "Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards and Fuel Efficiency Standards for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Engines and Vehicles" for a conventional Class 8 tractor with high-roof sleeper. [EPA/NHTSA, 2011; NRC, 2010].) (Also, see footnote 3 in this chapter.)
2. Goal 2 (reference level of 32 percent rolling resistance power consumption): Reduce tire rolling resistance by 35 percent from tractors equipped with dual-tire drive wheels. (The baseline Crr is 0.0082 from the EPA/NHTSA rule for tires of the dual tire drive wheels, only, of a Class 8 tractor [EPA/NHTSA, 2011; NRC, 2010].) (Also, see footnote 3 in this chapter.)
3. Goal 3 (reference level of 9 percent auxiliaries' power consumption): Reduce essential auxiliary loads by 50 percent. (The baseline for this goal is a Class 8 highway tractor-trailer with sleeper, operating 5 days in over-the-highway operations at 80,000 lb gross combined vehicle weight [GCVW].)
4. Goal 4: Reduce tare weight by 10 percent, and for the long-term stretch goal by 20 percent, from a 34,000 lb base tractor-trailer capable of an 80,000 lb GCVW operation, and comprised of a tractor (19,500 lb), trailer (13,500 lb), and fuel (1,500 lb).
5. Goal 5: Thermal Management, and Friction and Wear Reduction
a. Thermal Management Systems: Increase heat-load rejected by 20 percent without increasing radiator size.
b. Friction and Wear (reference level of 6 percent drivetrain power consumption): Reduce powertrain and drivetrain consumptions by 50 percent (NRC, 2010).4
The committee appreciates these carefully formulated goals statements. The committee believes that these goals are achievable within the 10-year period specified, but only if adequate research and development efforts are expended. Typically, achieving some goals will be found more problematic than achieving others. In the more problematic
SmartWay brand identifies products and services that reduce emissions, such as greenhouse gas emissions. Certification using EPA test methods allows carriers, manufacturers, and shippers to apply the SmartWay logo. See the EPA website at http://www.epa.gov/smartwaylogistics/basic-information/index.htm and NRC (2010) for more detailed information.
4 Notes to Goals 1 and 2 were prepared to compare these current numerical goals to those stated in the DOE (2006) White Paper Roadmap, as well as to compare certain Cds and Crrs corresponding to other frequent descriptions (current available, SmartWay, Advanced SmartWay). See Appendix G in this report. The baseline for these goals is a Class 8 highway tractor-trailer with sleeper operating at a steady 65 mph at 80,000 lb GCVW.

[RESOLVED] Login Problem
Media Wiki: 1.16.0 PHP: 5.2.12 MySQL: 5.0.67-log
Hey, I installed the wiki on a local server and configured all settings, but when i wanted to log in with my admin account, i got this error message: "There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again" I tried it again and again, but the result was equal, the same problem when I try to register a new account.
I get the same error as thread starter..anyone pls can help us? Im using 1.16 + wamp.
I'm having the same problem on the new clean installation when trying login or create a new account - any solution for it?..
Probably something is wrong with your sessions; most likely PHP is not able to write to your sessions directory. Check your php.ini for the sessions directory and if PHP can write to those files.
I got the same problem since soon, but not for all the installations on the same server (same version). Apparently the cookies are not good. It seems to come from the repertory of installation...
The connection to the database seems also be examined in this problem !
Looks like this has to do with setting a DNS CNAME.. it's only happening in IE8 for me... anyone have a fix?
Only happening in IE8 makes it sound as if you disabled cookies in that browser. Check to make sure cookies are enabled.
Why do you think this has something to do with a DNS CNAME?
The same thing just started to happening to me, after i renewed my hosting and domain
I had this problem when i was trying to access a mediawiki's instance installed on a Virtual Machine with XAMPP 1.7.2 with the nameserver. eg.: http://name_of_the_server/mediawiki but when i try to access by this way: http://10.12.206.57/mediawiki, i can access.
I think that this error is related with the DNS.
I have the exact same issue now, fresh install. Anyone going to help with this??
I found this solution:
go in your LocalSettings.php and at the end add the following code of line :
Create a folder "tmp" in your wiki installation directory. give rights 777 (permissions)
Which worked for me.... also, check to make sure your disk has space
This worked perfectly for me on a new install. Thanks, you're the first person to actually give a usable answer to those that don't have access to the server's PHP.ini files that I could find.
Eh?! Don't put it in web-accessible directories, or your user accounts will be easily hackable.
This worked for me. I had this problem with MW 1.18.1 after I upgraded my hosting with godaddy and they changed my ip and dedicated ip. Mediawiki kept asking for cookies to be enabled (they were enabled) on all types of browsers and platforms including the iphone. Problem solved for now, even though I'd like to know if it will come back after an upgrade.
Same problem, can't even register or login as admin. Enough space is present.
Looks like it was caused by using $wgMainCacheType two times in LocalSettings.php, now it's solved.
Hi also have the same problem where the IP address work perfectly yet the hostname fails.
Would love some kind of explanation?
The problem i'm experiencing just seems to be Internet Explorer only. Firefox and chrome are un-affected either by the hostname or IP address.
Although I can login using IE6/IE8 with the IP address,
Example: http://184.108.40.206/mediawiki
The problem occurs using the hostname.
Example: http://myserver/mediawiki
If I goto the login page a 'sess_xxxx' in the /tmp folder is created. If I attempt to login, or just refresh the login page this seems to set brand new a sess_xxxx everytime.
I have checked the apache logs and the client IP address is always the same regardless if i used the hostname of IP address.
Its not a permission issue.
I have also tried the following which was suggested with no success. $wgUseSquid = true;
Some suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
[SOLVED: My issue was caused by having an 'underscore' in the hostname example http://my_server - IE looks though it doesn't handle the underscore in the hostname as well as FF or Chrome does. Hope this helps anyone else using Mediawiki within their local intranet]
had this error and the problem is that the facility lacked a standard memcached adding correct configuration
$wgSessionsInMemcached = true; # optional
... a little more resolved. This can also be a symptom of being short on disk space.

Didn't work very well for me, but my friend loves it. It helped clear up her acne and it really made her face much smoother, and less red and irritated.
For me, it just left my skin bare, and ugly feeling.
I hated it, she loved it.

I started using this product a week ago and found that it really cleared my skin up. However, the past few days I've noticed flaking around the corners of my mouth and around my nose. I've also been experiencing some stinging on my face whenever I sweat during my workout. So now my skin is clear, but itchy and flaky. I'm pretty sure its the salicylic acid.
Any one know of any other deep cleaning cleansers that DON'T use salicylic acid? OR does anyone know of any product that will treat the flakiness around my nose and mouth?

A cleanser i used waaaay back in the days, and it made my then oily skin oilier. It leaves a squeaky clean feeling, skin feels a little tight. I had to stop using it 'cos I felt it was stripping my skin of all moisture and it didn't make me feeling comfortable after cleansing.

I have combo/oily skin esp on my tzone and around my nose. Neutrogena Deep Clean is very good at cleansing but way too harsh for my skin, especially in drier environments.
It completely dries my skin out - my cheeks, the area around my mouth, sides of forehead always need a good slathering of moisturizer after I use this cleanser. It removes make up relatively well but makes my face feel tight and dried out afterwards. I have had similar experiences with Clean and Clear morning burst and Cetaphil for normal to oily.

Well, it smells pleasant and lathers up very well. It doesn't dry out my skin and I use it like 3 times a day! My acne has really cleared up.

For some reason, my skin absolutely loves many of Neutrogena's products. I'm sure it would marry Neutrogena if it had the chance. Anyway, using Neutrogena Deep Clean a few times per week seems to have helped improve my skin a lot. This (which removes dead skin cells) combined with Garnier Moisture Rescue gel (which moisturizes, obviously) eliminated my winter dry flaky skin patches!
Reviews of cleansers are obviously subjective, but here's what the results were like for me. Unlike other cleansers, it leaves my skin feeling *completely* clean and free of makeup, and fresher with fewer dead skin cells, without causing dryness/tightness (I use moisturizer right after, though) or leaving behind a residue - not to mention not burning or breaking me out or otherwise irritating my skin. While hydroxy acid face creams typically burn my skin, apparently having them on my face in cleanser form is long enough for them to do their job and purify my skin a bit without irritating it.
It cleans better than Neutrogena's other cleanser I use, One-Step Gentle Cleanser, but I use that one more often because I don't want to push my luck with this product as it's not as gentle. Deep Clean cleanser contains salycilic acid and other harsh ingredients, and some here have said it dries out their non-oily skin. So far it has not irritated or dried out my skin, even though it is combination/prone to dryness in the winter; but again, I don't want to push my luck.

When I first tried this product, it dried out my skin sooo bad and made it so itchy, I was afraid I wasted my money. I read some of the reviews on here and some users we saying that you have to use it for more than a week to see results, (it took two weeks for me) and to get your skin used to the product. It worked! My skin looks flawless now, I love it. Although, it still tends to dry out my skin a bit, but its nothing a little lotion can't help!
Im happy with my purchase

Air Purifiers
As spring rains and warmer weather ushers in a new season, sneezes, sniffles, and the faintest hints of yellow and green fills the air. It's spring allergy season, for many, one of the most miserable times of the year. Do yourself a big favor and eliminate allergens like pollen from your indoor air with an Amaircare air purifier. The 2500 and 3000 air purifiers both feature sealed system, steel construction, easy to use controls, and HEPA filtration.
If smoke, odors, or VOCs are a concern, opt for either size but with a VOC canister. Packed with activated carbon, this canister adsorbs odors, chemical vapors, and fumes that pollute your indoor air.
For filtering pollen on the go or keeping your personal space free of allergens, the Roomaid portable air purifier has long been a popular choice. Lightweight and compact, the Roomaid is a truly portable HEPA air purifier. Snag an AC adapter and take it with you in the car. Plug it in at your desk or near your bed. No matter where you use it, it can and will remove allergens and odors.
So if pollen and spring allergies are getting you down, clear the air with an Amaircare HEPA air purifier. Every unit ships for free (continental U.S.) and you don't even need a coupon code to get the free filter kit. One will be included with each air purifier ordered.

While AirPura has been around for nearly ten years, it was just last year we began offering these durable air purifiers. In a relatively short period of time, they've quickly filled a niche with customers looking for an very quiet but extremely powerful air purifier. Now, until February 1, is your last chance to take advantage of current pricing before the increase. But why have these HEPA air purifiers become popular so quickly?
The answer to that is summed up in three easy points. First, they're effective. Most come with a thick two inch carbon filter as well as a HEPA filter and prefilter. The system is sealed via a series of felt gaskets, and the carbon is customizable. Need UV? That's an option. How about photocatalytic oxidation for VOC removal? That's an option too! From particle allergens like pollen, dust, and dander to chemical vapors and fumes, like smoke, exhaust, and VOCs, there's an AirPura built to meet your filtration needs.
Second, they're durable. From top to bottom, the AirPura is built for the long haul. Steel, powder coated construction is standard with each machine. Even the filters have steel end caps! While this does add some weight, it dramatically reduces the chances of off gassing, which is more common with plastic housing and filter frames.
Lastly, they're exceptionally quiet. On the lowest setting, the fan is quiet enough that it won't disturb even light sleepers. If you want to get the most out of this unit, turn the fan speed to its highest setting. While the noise level will go way up, the fan and coverage area is the largest of any residential air purifier. So whether you need the quiet operation at night, or robust coverage during the day, an AirPura offers both in one package.
Prices are going up 5-10% on all models, so if you were considering an AirPura, time is quickly running out. Use promo code "SNOW14" and take 10% off your order of any AirPura air purifier and get free ground shipping!

Two readers astutely pointed out a discrepancy between what Austin Air states as their coverage area for the HealthMate air purifier and what we state. Austin lists the HealthMate with 1500 sq. ft. of coverage, while we say it covers 750 sq. ft. Who's correct? Technically, both.
Coverage area is determined by a couple things. First, how powerful the fan is. The more powerful the fan, the larger volume of air it can move and ultimately clean. The second is how you actually define coverage. Air purifiers aren't like paint. With paint you're going to get about x number of sq. ft. out of each can. This number can vary a little depending on how heavy you apply, but generally, if four people paint with the same bucket, they're going to get pretty similar coverage areas. With an air purifier, the coverage not only describes how large of a room/space it will operate in but also sheds some light on how well it will actually clean in that size of space.
It's wise to remember how an air purifier works. Air moves through the filters, pulled in by the fan, and once cleaned, it's pushed back into the room. This process happens over and over, and for good reason. Air is constantly being polluted with indoor and outdoor allergens and particles. The ACH is the measure of how often an air purifier can cycle through the entire volume of air in any space, and this is linked to how powerful the fan is. If you have a very powerful fan and the air purifier is operating in a small room, it's going to have the ability to cycle through all the air in that room many times per hour. If you take that same air purifier and place it in a large cavernous room, it may only be able to cycle through that volume of air once or twice per hour.
So in large part, coverage area depends on how many air exchanges per hour you want to target. We generally recommend a minimum of four ACH per hour, and that's true for every air purifier we sell. That's the minimum though, and if possible, we recommend getting to six per hour. Air purifier manufacturers vary when it comes to ACH. Some rate the coverage of their machines based on 5 or 4 ACH and some, like Austin, base it on 2 ACH. This means, that Austin Air Purifiers will appear to have very large coverage areas, when it reality if your goal is to filter all the air in your room at least 4 times per hour, then the space can be no bigger than 750 sq. ft. If someone else only needs light filtration, say 2 ACH, over a larger area, then perhaps the Austin HealthMate is perfect for a 1500 sq. ft. area.
As you can see, coverage and ACH are closely linked, and as I've shown here, when it comes to who's right - Austin or us? Both.
For more information on how to calculate air exchanges per hour or visit our highly informative Air Purifier Buying Guide for all the info you need to make the most informed choice about which HEPA air purifier is right for you.

When it comes to microbes, there are really only two options in terms of neutralizing them - antimicrobial treatments and UV light. Antimicrobial treatments act the same as hand sanitizers, often a blend of agents that kill microbes that pass through the HEPA filter. With the AirPura UV600, you get the other type of technology, UV-C light. UV light has long been shown to neutralize microbes. Since this phenomenon was first described in 1878, UV light has been used in a variety of applications from hospitals to deli counters. A look into how UV light works, demonstrates why it is so effective and why you find it in a broad range of industries.
The two methods in which UV light works is by either breaking molecular bonds within the microbe or physically altering the DNA. In both instances, the end result is either the destruction of organism or an alteration of the DNA to the point where the microbe cannot replicate. In either case, the end result is the effective neutralization of viruses, bacteria, and other germs.
There are also two factors that can shape the effectiveness of UV light - exposure time and wavelength. Exposure time is key to killing microbes. UV light can be strong and of the right wavelength, but if the exposure time is too brief, it may take multiple passes to effectively kill the microbe. Wavelength also effects the efficacy, with 254 nanometers being the wavelength of UV light ideal for neutralizing microbes. With the AirPura UV600, the bulb is placed in the center of the filtration chamber, allowing it to effect all microbes that are ensnared in layer of filtration of nearest to it, the HEPA filter. Additionally, the lamp is a UV-C lamp that produces the wavelength necessary to kill microbes.
In addition, to the UV bulb, the AirPura UV600 air purifier has the staples that make AirPura a solid choice for broad removal of pollutants and irritants in your home. A large particle preflight traps visible particles and helps to keep the other layers of filtration clean. After passing through this, the air travels through a 2" thick carbon filter that adsorbs chemicals, odors, and smoke. As the last two phases, a medical grade HEPA air purifier removes you particle allergens like dander, dust, mold spores, and pollen before the UV light neutralizes microbes. All four layers of filtration are enclosed in a durable steel shell, and for those concerned with noise, the AirPura offers the quietest operation on the lowest fan speed, nearly silent. Like the other models in the AirPura line, the UV600 offers simple operation and the best coverage area of any residential air purifier available.
In all, the UV600 offers comprehensive filtration ideal for those coping with a variety of irritants and anyone looking to reduce microbes in the home or office. To see the full line of AirPura home air purifiers.

Let's start at the door. The first person you often see if someone checking IDs. This person also turns away people who aren't dressed appropriately or anyone who seems like they might cause problems once inside. This character is a lot like your HEPA filter. Pollen, dander, dust, and other D-list celebrities (Note to Bruce Campbell - You're in!) aren't allowed to pass, and for people with allergies or asthma, they represent potential troublemakers. The HEPA filter refuses to allow 99.97% of all particles 0.3 microns or larger to pass.
A certain group of troublemakers get by the HEPA filter. They dress the part and for them, the HEPA filter makes an exception. This group includes things like smoke, fragrance, chemical vapors, and exhaust emissions. Fortunate for you though, you have a friend on the inside - activated carbon.
Activated carbon is the equivalent of a social butterfly. He's hip. He's cool, and he REALLY enjoys giving out free hugs. While smoke, chemical vapors and others may get by the HEPA filter, activated carbon seeks these characters out, and once he finds them, it's time for a hug! Like long lost pals, molecules bind with activated carbon in a warm, permanent embrace. Because of the molecular composition of activated carbon, substances are naturally attracted to him, but there are still some things that can slip by the embrace of even activated carbon. This is where a blended carbon filter comes in.
Friends of activated carbon can vary, but all help him do his job better. Some friends, like zeolite will attract and soak up chemicals. Others play a slightly different role. Substances like potassium permangante, potassium iodide, magnesium dioxide, or copper oxide act in one of two ways. They either seek out some of the bad apples that slip by activated carbon and bind to them, or they play the role of the "mean girl". Particularly harmful compounds like dioxins and hydrocarbon pollution are literally broken apart into smaller, inert components via the process of oxidation. So in this way, they broaden carbons ability to remove reaction causing compounds.
So, yes, your air purifier is actually like a night club, and some of the best filter out a wide range of bad apples and prevent them from causing you problems. Knowing what triggers your reactions and matching it to the right filter media is the winning combination when it comes to controlling asthma, allergies, and chemical sensitivities.Want to see our top pick for best air purifiers for allergies and asthma or our top MCS and VOC air purifiers?

What's the difference between the C600 and C600DLX? In reality, they are much more alike than different. Both have the staple features of an AirPura, including quiet operation, the largest coverage area, superior airflow, separate filters, simple operation, steel construction, and a sealed system. Throughout both machines, there is very little plastic or adhesive, and the gaskets are felt instead of rubber or foam. These things reduce the potential for off-gassing, which is particularly important for people with chemical sensitivities.
The primary difference between these two models is in the carbon filter. While both use 26 lbs. of granular, activated carbon, created from a coconut shell base, the C600DLX employs a blend of carbon. Very similar to the VOCARB blend that you'll find in a competing brand, the AirPura C600DLX carbon blend is designed to capture a broader range of chemical vapors, making it uniquely suited for a VOC filtration. So while the standard C600 is great for most residential applications, for situations dealing with heavy concentrations of VOC from industrial pollution, exhaust emissions, or large areas of newly painted walls or newly finished floors, the C600DLX is an excellent alternative. Perhaps the best part about these two models - the filters are interchangeable. If you have a C600 and want better VOC filtration, simply purchase the C600DLX replacement filter when your current filter is all used up, and you've turned your C600 into the C600DLX.

Selecting an air purifier can be a real hassle. There is a glut of products on the market that range all across the board in terms of price, filtration and features. For now, I want to focus mainly on the models you'll find in your local big box store. You know what I'm talking about. The $50-150 plastic, Made-In-China special that features "Super-Awesome-Never-Needs-To-Be-Replaced-Amazingly-Ultra-Real-True-HEPA-Filtration!!!" Ok, so perhaps I exaggerate just a bit, but you know I'm talking about. There are several points that I want to make about this style of air purifier, so let's just start with the most basic.
You Get What You Pay For - The reality is, most of us gave up on the notion of repairing appliances a long time ago. Thirty years ago you likely would have found at least a handful of people in your local community who repaired home appliances. Replace a part here or there, a new belt, and you were as good as new. While prices certainly haven't gone down, quality and longevity of home appliances have.
As quick anecdote, growing up, my family had an old Westinghouse refrigerator. Unlike now, back then Westinghouse was made here in the U.S. It was as ugly as sin, weighed as much as a Yugo, and nearly as big. It was a hand-me-down, but by the time it finally died, it was roughly sixty years old! Even then, I think we got $15 out of it just for the steel. Can you imagine a home appliance lasting sixty years? No? Well neither can most manufacturers. There's more money in cheap and disposable than durable and long lasting. It's good to keep this in mind when looking at any home appliance, and the same holds true for air purifiers.
Too Good to Be True? - If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Don't get caught up in superlatives, glittering generalities, and marketing language. There's a lot of it out there, and ultimately, an air purifier is just another tool that you can use to better control your indoor environment. It's not a cure-all. You won't be running four minute miles or leaping tall buildings in a single bound, but with the right one, you will likely sleep better, wake up feeling better and breathe a little easier.
Different Name, Same Place - This is pretty common in the air purifier industry anymore. Notice how several different brands all look the same? It's often because they come from the same factory in China. Often the only difference, particularly amongst cheaper air purifiers, is the name or color.
Features - What do you need? Carbon for odors? Don't expect a cheap air purifier to pack much carbon. Sealed systems? Virtually non-existent with these types of models. Want something made of steel that won't off gas? Not going to happen. Ionizers? This... this you can get. Ionization is an inexpensive technology that can produce ozone, but remains a feature built into many less expensive air purifiers, mainly because it can increase filtration rates while using a lower quality filter. It has a high CADR. That means it's the one for me, right? Maybe. Inexpensive air purifiers are often run through the CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) test and display good results, but the CADR has its share of drawbacks, so don't let it be the only reason you select a particular model.
Filterless Units - Simply don't work. Stop considering or buying them. Let someone else be a sucker. "But Kevin, I can see the dust that the plates are collecting. That means they're working right?" Wrong. My coffee table collects dust, but I don't sell it as an air purifier. These "air purifiers" almost ALWAYS produce ozone, which even in small amounts isn't something you want to introduce into your home.
Labels - Labels can be really helpful. They can give you a quick indicator of some key features. Plus, they lend credibility to products and performance, and that is also where the problem lies. Some labels don't necessarily convey what you think they do. The CADR can lend itself to a false sense of confidence in a product when taken by itself. Air purifiers can even be endorsed by recognized entities yet still not deliver what they promise, and even the Made in the USA logo has been found to have been abused by manufacturers, all to capitalize on sentiment and sell their product. Labels are, well labels. Investigate them. What do they mean and stand for? Talk to people who have used the product, consider the company's reputation, and avoid buying something just because of a label.

There are three areas where AirPura has made changes to provide a better product.
- Filtration - From tried and true to cutting edge, AirPura offers a range of filtration styles to remove particle allergens like pollen, dander, and dust mites as well as odors, smoke and chemical vapors. A HEPA filter is standard in most models, as is a carbon filter and large particle prefilter. Some models integrate UV light while others integrate AirPura's TitanClean technology for some of the most comprehensive filtration available. Regardless of which AirPura you choose, each filter type can be independently changed. So unlike some combination filters that result in one of the combined filter medias wearing out before the other, each type of filter in the AirPura can be changed exactly when it needs to be.
- Components - For some of the most sensitive individuals, the solution to air quality problems can actually create more problems. From plastics that off-gas and UV bulbs that emit ozone to compounds in the carbon and rubber/foam/plastics found throughout the machine, many modern air purifiers can emit harmful byproducts that can aggravate conditions for those coping with chemical sensitivities or severe respiratory problems. AirPura takes a different approach by greatly limiting the use of adhesives, rubber, foam and plastics. This is why you will notice felt gaskets around the filter assembly, a steel shell with powder coat finish, a coconut shell based activated carbon (one of the most MCS friendly carbon bases available), UV bulbs that are CARB compliant (meeting California's stringent UV standards and exceed EPA standards), and electrical components that rest outside of the flow of cleaned air through the machine. Particularly for anyone who has dealt with problems caused by cheap air purifiers, these small details add up to a big difference.
- Air Flow - Air and water share some similar characteristics, and in this case, kinks or bends in the flow can dramatically reduce coverage. The more sharp bends air has to negotiate inside the air purifier, the less efficiently it flows through the machine and the more energy it uses. Things like 90° angles inside the machine can dramatically reduce not only airflow but also coverage. AirPura air purifiers have a very streamlined internal flow with no sharp bends. This is why it has the highest CFM of any residential air purifier, 560. This is also why an AirPura can cover up to 700 sq. ft. at a rate of 6 full air exchanges per hour. Thanks to the internal design and a powerful motor, you get more coverage for your buck with an AirPura.
- Noise - On the lowest fan speed, each AirPura air purifier registers about 28 decibels at six feet away. This makes them some of the quietest air purifiers on the market. This also means you can simply turn the fan down at night and make the bedroom more accommodating for light sleepers.
Currently, the three models we offer are the base model, the AirPura HEPA R600, which provides excellent three stage filtration suitable for most people dealing with allergies, asthma or COPD; the carbon-rich AirPura C600, which employs a thick, 26 lb carbon filter ideal for chemical abatement, removing high levels of smoke, odors, vapors; and, the most comprehensive, the AirPura HEPA P600, which uses five-stage filtration to tackle the widest range of allergens, pollutants, pathogens, and irritants of all AirPura models. Each model offers a unique solution for general or specific air quality problems.

I want to start by talking about the filtration. You'll notice that Alen uses the terms "HEPA like" or "HEPA style". This is because all Alen air purifiers offer near HEPA filtration, but come up just a smidge short. There are few filtration categories that are HEPA or near HEPA for most air purifiers The traditional ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) HEPA standard is 99.97% filtration efficiency of particle 0.3 microns or larger. In Europe the standard is H13, 99.95% of the same size particles, and lastly there is an H11 standard with a filtration efficiency of 95% or greater. The Alen BreatheSmart filters 99% of particles 0.3 microns or larger. So, it comes in higher than H11 filters but just under traditional HEPA efficiency ratings.
What does this mean for you? Could be a lot. Could be not much of anything. The answer lies in which type of allergens affect you. If dust mites or pollen is the nemesis, the BreatheSmart will work well. The low end of the particle filtration range will get collected and retained by the filter of the BreatheSmart. If pet dander, smoke or odors are your game, you may want to consider a different model. Not simply because the particles of these can be smaller than what a certified HEPA filter would capture, with pets, smoke and odors, HEPA filtration plus activated carbon is typically the best way to remove these allergens. So to recap, for dust mites or pollen the BreatheSmart is a champ, for smoke, odors or pet dander, the BreatheSmart might not deliver the knock out you've been looking for.
Beyond filtration, the Alen BreatheSmart is a really simple air purifier to operate. There are no dials, just a series of easy-to-use push buttons and indicator lights. Select one of four fan speeds or the Auto Mode (which will select the appropriate fan speed based on current particle pollution levels in the air). Filter Life indicator lights let you know how long until you need to replace your filter, and unlike strict timers, it factors in fan speed and actual run time. There is also a timer that allows you select 4, 8 or 12 hours of run time before the unit will automatically shut off. Plug it in, press a few buttons, and you're finished!
The last thing that really stands out with the Alen BreatheSmart is its quiet efficiency. While the top fan speed is still somewhat loud (this is pretty much unavoidable with any fan/blower-based air purifier), on all three lower speeds, it is significantly quieter than comparable models. Best of all, it consumes fairly little power, so much so that it is Energy Star certified.
In all, the BreatheSmart is a solid choice for those dealing with particle allergies. With spring allergy season just around the corner, and pollen counts already nearing 1000 in Atlanta, now might the best time to invest in an air purifier for your bedroom or living room.

For starters, the new T500 is a bit smaller. Shorter and lighter, this model is now sized between the T300 and T100 but still retains the same size footprint. Other than this, the T500 retains most of the same features, functionality and style of the T300 model. It still has digital controls, 3 fan speeds, and a filter change indicator. It also retains the limited lifetime warranty, EnergyStar qualification, and coverage area. And, as the T300, the new T500 has an optional ionizer (produces no ozone), for your convenience.
The only downside with this model is the UV bulb, that came standard with the T300, is no longer included with the T500 model. In lieu of the UV bulb, there is a filter option, the HEPA-Silver that does the same thing - neutralizes microbes and germs. The standard filter with the T500 is the HEPA-Fresh filter, which is a HEPA-style filter that traps 95% of particles 0.3 microns or larger (think N95 filtration). Aside from the HEPA-Fresh and HEPA-Silver option, there is also a HEPA-OdorCell filter that uses Alen's MCP technology to target odors.
Lastly, it is priced the same as its predecessor - $299.00. This model is currently in-stock and available to ship today.

Ragland takes step up to DI
Harrison grad keeps advancing
Growing up in Evansville, David Ragland strived for the same things as any basketball-crazy youth.
"A lot of kids, that's their goal and their dream: To play Division I basketball," the Harrison High School graduate said. "And a lot of coaches in this profession, their goal is to coach Division I basketball."
That's exactly what Ragland is now doing, after taking a position as assistant on the Indiana State men's basketball team last week. But that's not to say it was an easy decision for the former head coach at junior college Vincennes University, who also played collegiate basketball at Division II University of Southern Indiana.
In two years as head coach at Vincennes, the Trailblazers went 44-19 and five players moved on to play Division I basketball. Still, it was tough to move on himself given it was his first head coaching job.
"It was a little difficult just leaving a very good job in Vincennes and having an opportunity to be my own boss, call my own shots and call my own timeouts and everything especially with the team we have coming back there at Vincennes," said Ragland, who spent five years at Vincennes total (three as an assistant) after spending one year as an assistant at Frank Phillips College (Texas).
Lou Gudino was the head coach at Frank Phillips then and spent the past three seasons as an assistant at Indiana State.
When former Sycamores head coach Kevin McKenna left to become an assistant at Oregon this spring and Greg Lansing (who was McKenna's associate head coach) replaced him, Gudino ascended to the No. 2. Assistant coach Deryl Cunningham was retained and Ragland added.
"I was told by a lot of head coaches I respect that the most important thing you do other than getting players is getting a good, trustworthy and loyal staff, so that's really what I've tried to do," Lansing said. "Lou spoke very highly of (Ragland) and I've gotten to know him since I've been back at Indiana State.
"Rags not only is a really good coach and a really good recruiter, but he's a terrific guy with a great family. I feel pretty fortunate with what I have."
And Ragland said he feels fortunate to be in a position to work alongside coaches he knows and trusts.
"The players are a reflection of what the coaching staff is; you have to work together, get along and be on the same page as a coaching staff in order for your players to do the same thing," he said. "I know these guys really well. That all played a part in my decision. In this profession you're around each other all the time; to have an opportunity to work with people you like and get along with is important."
Joking that he's becoming close friends with U.S. 41 as he regularly makes the commute from Vincennes to Terre Haute, Ragland, his wife Annie and their two daughters are in the process of selling one house and buying another as he begins adapting to his new job.
He says he hasn't had a chance to make it back to Evansville this summer, but in the meantime he's embarking on a trip that dates back to the place where his basketball dreams started.
"You can say you're prepared and you're ready, but if you don't do it then how do you know for sure?" Ragland said. "The timing just felt right and that ultimately was the deciding factor.
"I'm looking forward to it. I think it's going to be an enjoyable experience, an enjoyable ride."
