i have a similar model (not the same brand but the same sort of jets) and it takes 3-4X as long for them to clog compared to hard-plastic jets (had those too). but they will eventually clog. the fix is simple, if tedious: squeeze each jet to break the calcium core and poke the hole with a fingernail to help the water eject the pieces.
In for one!! Gotta be better than my current $9 Walmart special. And it will make the wife smile!
Bought it last time and put it in the kid's shower. Very nice and seems well built for the price. 1/2 or 1/3 of the price of similar things at the big box stores. Some plastic as you would expect, but overall a great value. Wish I had bought a few more.
Does anyone know if the connectors to the handle and wall mount for the steel hose are metal as well? Those always crack on me making the unit much less happy...
I just bought this at Kohl's for $35 and it's well worth it, even at that price. This is a great deal.

Excellent comment and excellent reply!!!
A good shower is probably the most important part of my day. Plenty of pressure, high flow, very hot and I am easing away the day's aggravations and irritations. This looks like it will MAKE MY DAY. I'm in for THREE. ONE is for travel! I have actually gone out and bought a shower head to replace one in my hotel bath one time!!!! Seriously, I'm traveling, having a rough day, and the dadgum showerhead in my hotel room just spits at me? Nooooo! Went to a local Home Depot, bought a $4.99 showerhead, removed the flow restrictor, and had a nice strong hot shower. I left it for the next guest to enjoy. Seriously, a good hot shower is VITAL to my well-being and mental stability!
If we look at the map, we know which states need to shower the most! Also, why not 2 for Tuesday?
Does anyone know how I can increase my order quantity after order is placed? Want two instead of one.

Yeah, but is there one that has it in "action"... If you know what I mean, (Wink Wink - Nudge Nudge)
Is this a low-flow (water conservation) shower head?

Usually, if the product isn't sold out - contact firstname.lastname@example.com, they may be able to help out.. be prepared to give them a cookie, though.
junkerja wrote:No shower head is worth using until you remove the restrictor valve. Your federal government uselessly mandates that your shower provides a weak stream. Every manufactirer makes it easy to remove the restrictor and make the shower work.
That's a bit of a stretch. All mine work fine with the flow restrictors. I've experienced some people's showers with high pressure, no flow restrictor and those awful faucets that have no pressure control (like hotels where it's on or off, no in between, only temp control). The damn thing is worse than a fire hydrant bouncing water all over the bathroom. I'm a fan of flow restrictors. If you don't like it, simply remove it.
In for two! I need one and so do my parents. Nice deal, Woot!
in for 2 of these...
Next they will have the Hitachi Magic Wand. Evidently it does wonders on your back. They always get rave reviews at NewEgg. I'd love to read those comments here...these are cracking me up.
Duukdkarn wrote:I got mine and its wonderful. However this particular one, it has a little lever that you move. Your not supposed to turn the head. Either you had a different model or perhaps assisted in its demise?
Yes I am aware of how to change the flow, perhaps I should have added turned by the tab, but either way, I would call the part the water comes out of the flow head and the overall handle the handle. This was likely a factory flaw. Going to try to RMA it.
Wooter to blame for sellout: SumDuud Sellout time: 8:11:25 AM Central Time
I bought this when it was on home.woot. For those commenting about it being cheaper than Kohl's, this is literally the Kohl's shower head, complete with a Kohl's $50 price sticker and all. I really liked this shower head the first time I used it, until my hot water ran out half-way through my shower. With our old shower head we could get through two showers back-to-back no problem. Fortunately, I quickly discovered the water can be barely running through the faucet and when I switch it to the shower head the pressure is still fine, so that helps preserve the hot water. The settings range from pathetic dribble (aeration, I think?) to holycrapturnitoffturnitoffturnitoff (massage?) so you are likely to find one that works for your water pressure; maybe removing the flow regulator would work for some (esp the aeration settings) but for me I find 4/5 settings pretty useless (although I brave the massage setting for my hair and pray I don't accidentally rip the skin off my back. I'm terrified of what removing the flow regulator would do to this setting). Keep in mind the low-reach bracket can only really be useful if you have children that want to use this hand-held and can't reach the overhead bracket; if you were to turn the water on the water would just shoot straight forward. This shower head ended up being more than a foot above me in the shower, so I'll end up buying a portable shower arm from amazon to put this at the height I prefer. Overall this is a good shower head for the woot price. But I'll still be keeping an eye out for a better one.
mtka wrote:Can I use this to powerwash my siding?
Honestly? You probably could. That massage setting is pretty brutal.
Now I can clean all my hard-to-reach naughty bits.
Hmmmm....bought one for girlfriend who complains that shower head is too tall, but would like one for my house. Problem is, I have brass fixtures!
I seem to run out of hot water pretty quick as it is, so hopefully this doesn't flow faster than what I have now. I guess we'll see! Too good of a deal to pass up. In for one due to the outstanding reviews. Thanks fellow wooters!
This is actually getting more comments than any product during a w00t-off. Really? I'm a girl. I don't need one of these. 'Nuff said.
According to the map of wooting by State, apparently Utah has the highest per capita share of clean people.
DaZoneRanger opined: "For low water pressure, look into a brand called "Oxygenics". I've been using them for at least a decade and even with low water pressure, they give a very strong, forceful shower. They're pressurized." For all it's huff and puff, Oxygenics shower heads are nothing more than a simple nozzle. Sorry, but they are "pressurized" only at the cost of flow. By definition, a nozzle simply reduces the total amount (gallons per minute) that is flowing through it but accelerates the speed of the water that does come out. Basically you are getting less water out than you would from the open end of the pipe but what is coming out is traveling much faster. When you add a small intake hole or port at the point the nozzle is the most constricted you have then created a venturi suction. The speed of the water passing through the nozzle and over the port draws in room air (in the case of the Oxygenics shower head) and mixes it with the outflow. In the Fire Department we used this principle in the past to add firefighting foam to a hoseline. I have found Oxygenics shower heads to be unsatisjying as they never seem to give you enough water volume. It takes forever to get wet and rinse off. Sure they'll blast the top two layers of skin off your body, but they were just "unfulfilling".
good showerhead...

Reason #3. And with that, I'm in for one!
I bought one of these last time. My husband said it was very easy to install. As to operation, I LOVE it! It does everything I wanted it to do. Fortunately, I had read enough to know that we needed to remove the special low-flow washer inside it first, so the water pressure from it is fine. Great purchase!
Shower head, or very fancy ear bud?

I'd call that a quality post.
I also got one during the last sale & am sooooo glad I can get another for the guest bath! I pulled the water restrictor out to get the "right" water pressure....
Working in a marketing department myself, I've always really enjoyed the product copy from the writers at Woot! But this time, you guys and your comments got me to buy this. Well played, wooters, well played.
in for three hope they are as good as everyone says..
Just ordered one, doing the Disney College Program this fall and the housing has crappy showers; also had a coupon so Im thinking I got a good deal!

Alaska is easily explained - we don't ship there (except for shirt). Wyoming is often dark on sales. It's like they hate us.
I bought 3 with no coupons, just to make up for Wyoming. I'm in Massachusetts. No I don't smell.

Take Two for December 19, 2012
Many key positions to be decided in LA's March election
Anibal Ortiz / KPCC
Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl's chief deputy, Mike Bonin, announced his plan to run for the 11th district at the City Council Meeting at City Hall in Los Angeles, Calif., Tuesday, October 9, 2012. His announcement came after Rosendahl announced his plan to retire from the L.A. City Council at the end of his term in June to focus on his continuing battle with cancer.
In March, Los Angeles voters will head to the polls to choose a new mayor, a city attorney and city controller. They'll also elect more than half of the City Council and several members of the LAUSD school board.
The election is likely to have a major impact on the future of the city. We asked KPCC's Patt Morrison to come in studio to explain.
Patt will moderate a mayoral debate at Occidental College on January 24.

.I'm also going to take a bit of a risk with this fun print. It fits in with the color scheme and from a distance looks like a cute little 1940's style striped design. Up close they are playing cards, which seems appropriate given that (I think) we're amidst horse racing season and the hot summer calls for gambling and barrooms.I only wish I had more hours in the day to create all my new designs and keep up wtih this blog! This is your new blog post. Click here and start typing, or drag in elements from the top bar. Well I've spent a lot of time deliberating over my next fabric order. I haven't gotten even close to clearing out my current stock, but I feel I should mix things up a bit in order to keep people interested.
I found it helpful to read this short description on wikipedia of the origin of the term "tea dress." Lately I've been trying to figure out what tags will work well to describe my dresses and direct the customers. I've considered sack, bubble, smock, yoke, bib and tent dress. Yet the trusty tool Craftopolis (which uses google analytics) is leading me to see that none of these terms have accounted for page visits or, eventually, sales. I've seen a lot of people use the term tea dress and couldn't figure out if it referred to the length, to the style of bodice, or what.

WEBO Receives Community Service Award
Quincy, IL - Sep 26, 2011 - WEBO accepted a Community Service Award presented by Broadcast Electronic's Criss Onan and Scott Fybush of Fybush.com/NorthEast Radio Watch for continued service to the local communities of Tioga County during the flooding disaster.
At the Binghamton Broadcasters annual reunion, WEBO 1330 AM owner Dave Radigan shared with fellow broadcasters his stories of station survival and service during the worst flooding to hit southwest New York in decades.
At one point, he told Broadcast Electronic's Criss Onan that he wheeled his BE AudioVAULT computer through flood waters to dry land by pushing it down the street in an office chair.
WEBO 1330 AM remained on the air throughout the national disaster earlier this month, providing a trusted source of emergency information to the community of hard-hit Tioga County. After being flooded out of their downtown Owego, NY, studios and forced to move to a borrowed RV and then to a makeshift studio in Radigan's living room, WEBO AM staff continued to provide post-flooding coverage using BE's AudioVAULT and broadcasting from a BE AM 5E transmitter.

Each season grants guests a new excuse to visit Ort Farms, which has been the pride and joy of the Ort family since 1916. Each fall, the family designs a giant 8-acre corn maze, which serves as the centerpiece for the annual Fall Festival, which welcomes guests to visit farm animals, climb a giant hay pyramid, and board a hayride to the pumpkin patch. On weekend, visitors can enjoy rides on ponies, trains, and monster trucks. Winter brings holiday decorations, such as douglas firs and wreaths, and spring blossoms to life as pots of geraniums, annuals, and marigolds spring up inside the farm's five greenhouses. And as the sun dons its giant summer bathing suit, the Orts arrive at local farmers? markets bearing fresh lettuce, colorful peppers, and other seasonal produce.
Locals can also participate in Ort Farms' CSA share club, which connects consumers and farmers without forcing them to share a studio apartment. Each week during the harvest season, the farmers pick a certain amount of locally grown produce for each individual or family participating in the CSA program.
Stony Hill Farms traces its origins a generation back, to when owner Carol Davis's parents bought an idyllic 40-acre plot of New Jersey farmland. Where Carol spent her childhood milking cows, customers now wander through 18,000 square feet of greenhouses and stroll past garden benches laden with ornamental plants and flowers. Carol, her husband Dale, and their children carry on the family tradition of horticulture, helping clients select a rare, treasured orchid to decorate their home, or obtain a Community-Supported Agriculture membership to fill their pantries with local, seasonal produce. Families can also bond with a wealth of fun activities, such as winding through five different mazes in the fun park.
A&A Fine Foods, which first opened its doors in 1992, helps customers line their pantry shelves or banquet tables with gourmet comestibles the likes of meat, bread, cookies, olive oil, cheese, and pasta. Behind gleaming display cases of hormone-free chicken and Boar's Head meats, A&A's butchers prepare homemade italian sausage and slice marbled cuts of grass-fed beef with the steady hands of a brain surgeon playing Jenga. The deli's staff can accommodate lunchtime cravings or catering requests by ladling bowls of house-made soups out of its percolating cauldrons and crafting hearty sandwiches or wraps with such ingredients as grilled eggplant and imported provolone.
Back in 1961, when it was known as Colonial Health, Nature's Pavilion was way ahead of its time. The store helped blaze the trail for yesterday's health nuts, who would sure enough turn into the trendsetters of today.?All of this is even more impressive considering the store has always stuck to the same mission, curating an inventory of groceries, supplements, and accessories designed to keep bodies healthy and happy. But Nature's Pavilion is more than just a retailer. The store is also a place where customers can seek out information during frequent seminars on subjects such as gluten-free eating and cooking without candy.

Before Dr. Alexander Ovchinsky began working with clients at Plastic Surgery of Short Hills, he spent years building on his knowledge in the field of aesthetic medicine. He received double board certification and completed a fellowship that trained him exclusively in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. In his role as assistant professor at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, he now passes on this wisdom when not working in his own clinic.
At Plastic Surgery of Short Hills, he directs staff members as they help him to work toward individuals' beauty goals through reconstructive and cosmetic surgery as well as injectable treatments. Custom programs include facials, microdermabrasion, and peels, and laser light is used to remove unwanted hair, improve skin tone, and treat spider veins.

Judy and I went to see Tony Bennett in concert last night in Galveston. As it happened, I was listening to XM radio's show about '50s pop earlier in the day, the show where they eventually play the top 5 hits of the current week from some year in the past. The year chosen yesterday was 1952, and in this October week in that year, Bennett had a couple of songs in the top 5: "Because of You" and "Cold, Cold Heart." Fifty-four years later, he's still singing. That's what I call sustaining a career.
Bennett might be 80 years old, and his voice might not quite be what it once was, but it's still damned good, and he can still belt it out. He can still hold a note about five times longer than I could, and at one point he even had the mic turned off to sing without amplification, accompanied only by a soft guitar. I wasn't in the top balcony, but I'll bet they could hear him there without any problem.
Bennett sang what you'd expect to hear: "Cold, Cold Heart," "Shadow of Your Smile," "I Left My Heart in San Francisco." Lots of standards from the American Songbook. Great stuff. He can still swing with the best of them, as he proved in "I've Got Rhythm" and "It Don't Mean a Thing if it Ain't Got that Swing."
The show ran a little over an hour and a half, with no break. Not much talking, just singing. At 80, Bennett has a lot more energy than I do. It was a fine evening.

i saw him once in Houston, probably 15 years ago. he was great. you gotta figure he's sold so many records, he can't need the money. he must still travel and perform for the love of it. he lives in hotels, i understand. no permanent home.

Before the concert, Judy said, "Why is he still going on the road?"
After the third standing ovation, I said, "Now do you understand why he's still doing this?"
She grinned and nodded. - 10:03 PM

I try to avoid them if I can. I see them sometimes herding their flocks of flabby grey creatures into and out of Boston harbor, and it always gives me the chills. Briano tells me that they brought me back to life, but I can't remember it. I can't remember a lot of stuff. He also tells me that I was good friends with one of them once. One of the ones that begs outside of Grand Island Bank for nickels or blood. I can't tell you why I'm uncomfortable around them. They're just fish.
"O'er the Wall Mounts there's this race of creatures. They look humanoid, but big. Mebbe 15, 20 feet tall? There all covered in this hair. Most of the species' hair is an auburn, but theres some that are black or blonde or brown. There faces look kinda like a cat face. The eyes are always one solid color, but the colors differ, like with humans. But the thing that makes them special is that they milk our females, like we milk cows. They breed 'em. They treat us like cattle. They even breed out the aggressiveness and intelligence."
-Old Gerald, man in the pub
a.k.a. Mosquito Man, a.k.a. Stirgili, a.k.a. Mansquito.
The sun rises over the city. The great skyscraper's silhouettes from the fresh beams appear almost golden. The city is waking up, with the morning's half asleep citizens going about their daily routines. Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts open up, and revel in the influx of business. People head to work. The clocktower chimes, signaling the time of 9:00. But then a great shadow blocks out the sun. And the citizens of this metropolis start to scream as they are lifted up bodily by these beasts. An hour full of terror and screams goes by. And then another. And when the clocktower chimes again, signaling the time of 11:00, no one heard it. They had all been carried away. There were no flaming wrecks, nor collapsed buildings, as any other giant monster would leave. Simply empty streets, and a forbidding silence.
The manifestation of the Queen of Avarice, the Eye of Avarice is a worthy herald of that fell being.
Caution: contains mature content regarding the gruesome ecology of a parasitic beetle.
A terrible monster. A thing of nightmares. Tales of the creature shake the core of the most sturdy and chill the spine of all who hear. They say, "Be careful who your friends are. They may just want you for your body." They were right.
There's more to the Dembraava Wilds than just deformed beasts and unicorn husks. In that place there are also men--or something very similar to men--and no one has ever recovered one of their corpses.

A blue green jewel, Beta Delphini II, home of the turtle like Chelonians. The world is old, and bears many scars, the craters from orbital bombardment and high power explosions, rings of dust and debris that were once starships, habitats, and fighter craft. But the world below remains tranquil, its wounds covered with blue seas and green forests.

Hexenwolf – Magic, Were Creature, subclass Wolf
Hexenwolf are difficult to find and track. Those who are gifted with such ability usually keep it hidden and to themselves. All seem to be lost however to spiral down a long road of animalism if they are not careful.
Dr. Johan Kosdin Lerkoviski Were-Hunter
"Sivver is the common name given to crystalline parasites, which interact with the nervous systems of carbon based Chordate life forms."
Definition of the word Sivver provided by the Galactic Scouting Guild's Almanac
"The Sivvers are an alien weapon that turns people into murderous glass sweating zombies."
Uwell Ofmobile, retired Galactic Scout
A name shrouded in the mists of time. A scheme of pure genius. A relic of the Mage Wars.
"That Inquisitor...what's his name? Hellenbrecht something? Matthias Hellenbrecht, I think it were? Don't let him near me again - made my skin crawl... You know that look you give a juicy steak after a straight day or two of marching? I swear to Iocath, he was giving me that very look."
-Private Dalton Hayes, Imperial Levy 304
Out of all lifeforms on this planet, none is more feared than the insidious Moadi-Bird.
Seek Not the Moadi-Bird
Hailing from the giant swamp planet of Acadia, the Leech Lords rule with a mighty will. And slimy green tentacles.
Toltep walked slowly along the avenue, it would have been easier to swim along in the viaduct, but he had made it a point to not do the easy thing. All to often the easy path lead to ruin, and he had not survived so long by taking shortcuts, or the easy road. The market, what was above water, was abuzz with conversation. A large school of blood-crazed lurdi had been diverted into an ambush where the brave people had slaughtered the monsters. There was some worry, Toltep gathered, as a few had escaped.
"I have no love for these aliens."
-Jax the Chronicler
One way of getting here, The Concave, is through conflagration of your Soul. Not a nice way to arrive, but at least you'll have the benefit of a guide, unlike most others.
Death cults, worshipers of dark powers, necromancers, and eaters of the dead. Individually these cults are horrible in society and the repercussions can have lasting effects on those they influence and affect. But what if that not just a small group tried to influence their belief on a people, but an entire people tried to use their belief to take over the world?
A loose and ragged band of berzerkers, barbarians, criminals and vagabonds, the Blood Wolves have all come together to a dual purpose. Each of the Wolves are beholden and worship the same patron Little God, the Crimson Slashing Jaw. They are also a semi-cohesive mercenary force for hire. Their rates are low, and their morals are non-existant.

Van Nuys, California.
Were you a good student?
I loved being a student more than being in school. I was kind of the nerd type; I was more into my career and my studies than the dances and being popular.
Did you have an after-school job?
I was doing Sister, Sister! So, it was very exciting.
What was the worst popular trend when you were going to school?
There was a time when plaid hats were in style. I look back on all my pictures and I scream in horror, thinking, Why in the heck did I wear that?
Do you have a quote in your high school yearbook?
It was always "God bless!"
What did you want to be when you grew up?
I was already blessed to be doing what I have always wanted at 17 I was an actress.
What is the craziest thing you ever did to get a guy to notice you?
I was such a nerd I didnt even know the slightest thing about how to get a guy. I kind of was just myself. I always thought being yourself was the greatest thing to do.

I just wanted to say Hi!
I'm not exactly "new" here, but it has been a very long time since I've been here. Some of you may remember me from a few years back.
I am a huge WDW fan, and love going any chance I get.
I'm excited to be back here, and to reconnect with old friends, and meet some new people!

The salesman came to my home for a estimate and was very helpful. He scheduled for me to have my installation the same day. The installers that came to my home were very respectful and courteous. The two gentlemen explained the operation to my unit the best way so I could understand them. They were very neat and clean and left everything in order. A friend of the family recommended me to use Four Seasons. I will refer Four Seasons to family and friends.

"Resources for people leaving prison have always been minimal," says Salinas, a veteran criminal-justice activist who became the center's first full-time director two years ago. "A pair of shoes, a cheap suit, a bus ticket -- that was all the system ever did. Even now, very few centers like this exist anywhere in the country."
As the orientation session winds down, Salinas tells the new arrivals about the center's database of job leads and its resource room, where clients can craft their resumés and work the phones. He stresses the importance of signing in every visit ("Parole officers do call and check to see if you've been here") and keeping the place tidy.
"We can't do it all for you," he says. "But we have a lot of resources in the community. Our goal is for you to stay in the community. Your goal is to take care of your obligations and make it to the next step, do the right things for those you love."
The new arrivals have questions. A young man with a goatee and a ponytail goes first.
"Who is John Inmann?" he asks.
Salinas smiles. "That's an interesting story," he says.
Hardly a week goes by that Lance Clem doesn't think about John Inmann. A former aide to Governor Roy Romer, Clem now has Inmann's old job and cumbersome title -- director of the Office of Drug Control and System Improvement in the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice -- and reminders of Inmann's work are all around him.
Many people in the DCJ have fond memories of Inmann, a dedicated employee with a distinctive handlebar mustache and a deadpan wit -- but none more so, it seems, than Clem. "John had a great sense of humor and was very knowledgeable," he says. "We didn't always agree, but I realized after a while that he never did anything without a good reason."
Years ago, Inmann worked on developing drug- and alcohol-treatment programs for prisoners in Cañon City, leading to a lifelong interest in the problem of recidivism. At DCJ, he was in an ideal position to track the effects of Colorado's prison-building boom during the 1980s and 1990s, and he didn't like what he was seeing.
The statistics were dismal. Over the course of fifteen years, the state's prison population doubled, then doubled again, outpacing the rate of growth of the state as a whole. The percentage of inmates serving time for nonviolent drug offenses also quadrupled. Equally alarming, the one-year recidivism rate was rising sharply, from 27 percent in 1992 to 40 percent in 1999. By the late 1990s, more than half of all Colorado felons could be counted on to return to prison within three years of their release.
Part of the problem, Inmann realized, had to do with a series of shortsighted but politically popular legislative decisions. Tougher sentencing laws for low-level drug offenders. Inadequately funded treatment programs. And, perhaps most damaging of all, a parole system that was becoming overburdened and unworkable.
Colorado's system of discretionary parole, under which an inmate can earn early release through good behavior, dates back to 1899. But in 1993, the legislature decided to add a period of up to five years of mandatory parole that prisoners must complete, whether they serve their full prison sentence or not. The law was supposed to stop a prisoner from "killing his number" behind bars so that he could emerge without any supervision; instead, it may have seriously aggravated the re-entry problem it was seeking to address.
One consequence of mandatory parole is that the parole board is granting fewer and fewer early releases. Five years ago, almost 30 percent of prisoners seeing the board were granted parole; now it's down to 20 percent. The board claims to have granted parole to nearly 5,000 people last year, out of more than 16,000 applications, but that number is misleading: Of the 4,784 "successful" applicants, all but 2,000 of them were "released on MRD" -- in other words, their parole doesn't become effective until their mandatory release date from prison. Fifty-two percent of the DOC's inmates are past their parole eligibility date, but fewer than 1 percent of those who see the board receive parole the first time around; the rest must return year after year, only to face a high probability that they won't get out until the day the system is forced to release them.
Cutting down on the number of discretionary paroles increases the size and cost of the prison population, of course, and mandatory parole has only compounded the problem. As the parole period increases, so does the opportunity for technical violations. Resentful of the additional time tacked onto the end of their sentences or incapable of meeting the conditions of parole, growing numbers of offenders are being revoked and sometimes spending the rest of their mandatory parole time in prison. On average, a revoked parolee spends an additional twelve months in prison, at a cost of around $27,000; the technical violations alone now cost the state an estimated $63 million a year. Significantly, the number of parole violators who are self-revoking (waiving their right to a revocation hearing and requesting that they be sent back to prison) has skyrocketed since the mandatory-parole provisions kicked in, from 186 in 1998 to 1,248 last year.

Story by Jessica L. Bizik
Illustrations by Jessica R. Koman
Do you remember nestling into one of those burgundy velvet seats in D.C.'s
Uptown Theatre, waiting to see-not Katherine Hepburn or Spencer Tracy,
but-Jack Scarbath, icon and classmate, in a newsreel of the Terps' Sugar
Bowl victory? How about that night in Cole Field House, when you
stood-fingers crossed, breath held-as Vicky Bullett or Billy Jones went
for their first college lay-up? Were you the one Mark Coogan sprinted
past, day in and day out, to make his afternoon econ class? Was four-sport
Varsity letter-winner Laura LeMire your hero?
Some of the names in this article may sound familiar to you; others, not. But chances are all the stories will ring true. From the pioneers to the pros, these athletes have one thing in common-their glory days at the University of Maryland. So whether you're the biggest Terp fan in history-or you just love hearing about the people behind the plays-sit back and enjoy, as five former Terps talk about what makes them good sports then and now.
Perhaps the "biggest name" on our list of Terps is Jack Scarbath, whose football legacy and B.M.O.C. reputation have passed from one generation to the next. When it came to making Maryland a better place, Scarbath wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty. In fact, his first job was helping to build Byrd Stadium.
"When I was at the University of Maryland, freshmen were ineligible to play football," he says. "So, I worked for the contractor-actually pouring cement to make the tiers where the seats would go." Then, the season opened, and Scarbath scored the first touchdown Byrd Stadium ever saw.
During that first game, the scoreboard didn't work and the locker rooms were far from finished. Still, a record crowd of 43,836 fans cheered wildly in the stands. Almost overnight, Scarbath became a star, a role model, a "crush." He graced the cover of magazines and showed up in newsreels. They probably named hamburgers after his famous move-the "Split-T."
But, today, that same icon quarterback says, the hoopla never really sunk in. "We were just there to play football," he says.
Preparation enabled the players to keep cool during key games, says Scarbath, who led the Terps to a 24Đ4Đ1 record, including a victory over No. 1-ranked Tennessee in the 1951 Sugar Bowl.
"What you plan to do in the game becomes repetitious to the point where it's like 2 plus 2 always equals 4," he says. "So your emotions don't really factor into it as much as people on the outside might expect."
Still, the next season held a great disappointment for Scarbath. After 22 straight games without a single defeat, it happened. Mississippi beat Maryland, 21 to 14-a loss that, presumably, cost Scarbath the Heisman Trophy. The Terps fell again to Alabama the next week and finished the year with a 7Đ2 record and no bowl invitations. In many ways, Scarbath felt responsible.
But things turned around in 1953. Scarbath went off to play for the Redskins and the Terps, building on his foundation, won the NCAA championship. Scarbath later played pro ball for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Ottawa Roughriders, and coached five years for the University of South Carolina. He has also been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and the University of Maryland Athletics Hall of Fame.
But eventually Scarbath decided, like many of his Terp teammates, that professional football wasn't the only dream going.
"From our team, I think five or six players became doctors, four became engineers, three became dentists, and several became CEOs...So I think what playing sports gives you, above everything else, is discipline. And that's a trait you carry through the rest of your life."
Looking back, Scarbath has made what people like to call a decent living. After that famous stadium-building summer, he took a job at a local foundry. It was a great way to keep in shape for football, and later, when combined with an industrial engineering degree, gave him the knowledge to start his own abrasive materials company-John C. Scarbath and Sons. Scarbath sold the business two years ago and, since then, has become increasingly active with the Maryland Education Foundation, helping to provide opportunities for scholar-athletes in financial need. He and his wife, Marilyn-a former Terp cheerleader-also love babysitting their grandkids. And Jack has a thing for carving.
By this, I don't mean carving out plays for the next football game. Instead, Scarbath carves wood-transforming solid building blocks into geese, ruddy ducks and other waterfowl. And he can tell you the exact number of hours it takes to create one of these beauties-about 220 for the larger, 40 to 45 for the little guys.
Occasionally, the quarterback-turned-carver shows the decoys in competitions. More often, he gives them to friends. As always, Scarbath knows-winning isn't everything. He says, it is in the process, in the preparation, that you become a winner.
Frances Bullet says the phone has been ringing off the hook. You see, her daughter Vicky has been a hot ticket for quite some time. First, she was the all-time leading scorer and rebounder for the University of Maryland women's basketball team. Next, two glorious trips to the Olympics. Third, a seven-year stint as a professional basketball player in Italy. And now, she's returned to the states to play (position) for the Charlotte Sting in the new Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). So, if having Vicky back in the country means taking a few messages now and then, Mrs. Bullet is happy to oblige.
"Finally." The word floats from Vicky Bullett's lips with sweet satisfaction. "Finally," she says, "we have a professional team for women in this country."
Bullett believes the women's basketball league is headed for success, particularly because each of the women's teams is affiliated with its city's NBA team, and because their marketing will be done on the NBA-model. The Charlotte Sting, for example, will be operated by George Shin, owner of the Charlotte Hornets.
"I don't think Mr. Shin would put his time and money into a program, just to watch it fail," says Bullett.
Capitalism aside, the league could make a big difference in the lives of some American women. "If the women's league truly takes off and becomes an NBA kind of thing," says Bullett, "the ladies who are playing overseas will come home at the snap of a finger...It's such a transition for us over there. Think about being that 20-some-year-old woman going over to Italy and not knowing the language. You just know basketball."
Bringing our women back would also provide more athletic role models for American girls, says Bullett, who, as a child, had no women players to look up to. Basketball was simply in her blood and, with six brothers egging her on, it didn't take much to bring that out. Bullett began shooting hoops at age eight. She made the varsity team her freshman year in high school and, by her junior year, she was averaging 35 points a game. But Martinsburg, W.Va., was a small market, and no one outside of the state knew who she was.
Then, in came Don Bullett, Vicky's oldest brother who graduated from college just in time to coach his sister's basketball team. The two drove all around the country, making sure the big scouts saw Vicky play. After a few tournaments, the letters started pouring in.
Bullett's dad encouraged her to keep going strong. She already had two brothers in college and the money was getting tight. "So I worked and worked, and did everything I could to get a scholarship," she says. After several offers from other schools, Bullett chose Maryland.
"The great part about Maryland was that my family and friends lived close enough to come to all the games," says Bullett. And now, after nearly eight years, they are sitting on the edge of their seats, waiting to see her in action again.
Bullett has been taking her preparation seriously. For the last six months, she's been driving an hour and a half-each way, twice a week-to play ball with the Terps women's basketball team. It's great practice for her, and it gives the women a chance to tear up the court with a Maryland legend.
As the women run their drills, Bullett's retired jersey, No. 23, hangs above them in Cole Field House. It's a sign of her accomplishments, her history. This summer, when Bullett heads to North Carolina, she'll start a whole new era.
This move has people talking-mostly about how to prepare for Bullett's newest success. In honor of her gold medal performance in the '88 Olympics, the mayor of Martinsburg renamed the athlete's home-town street Vicky Bullett Street. He also posted signs at every entrance to the city saying, "Welcome to Martinsburg, W.Va.-the home of gold medalist, Vicky Bullett."
To all of this, Bullett just smiles and modestly replies, "Not a lot has really happened in Martinsburg so far."
Unlike Vicky Bullett and Jack Scarbath, Mark Coogan wasn't considered the No. 1 athlete at Maryland. He wasn't a huge media star. He didn't break a dozen track records. But one thing is certain-if Coogan came back to college today, plenty of athletes would be eating his dust.
Coogan is the No. 3 runner in the United States. He has finished in the Top 10 in four different long distance events, finished 10th in the 1992 steeplechase Olympic trails, and finished second in the 1996 Olympic marathon trials, which earned him a trip to Atlanta last summer. To put it simply, Mark Coogan just keeps getting better.
Maryland was a good place to start a running career, says Coogan, who describes the university's running program as solid. "Our cross-country team was always ranked in the Top 20, but we weren't the best," he says. Nevertheless, Coogan was named All American in 1987. That same year, he finished 5th in the ACC for track and 9th for cross country. Some might assume running is an individual sport, unrelated to the notion of teamwork. But Coogan disagrees. Maryland's runners actually developed a Musketeer-like attitude: "You're a lot less likely to let up," he says, "when the other guys are in the race."
Perhaps the living arrangements helped. "The first year I was at Maryland, we lived in Byrd Stadium-all the track guys on one side and all the soccer guys on the other," says Coogan. "For football games, we'd just bring lunches and sit on the hill-it was a blast."
These days, Coogan is enjoying the challenge of a different kind of team-marriage. His wife, Gwyn, joined a running club after college and, soon afterwards, met Coogan-perhaps the first man who could really keep up with her. Gwyn too is a distance runner and former Olympian. She is also the mother of their three-year-old daughter, Katrina, a part-time math teacher, and a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Colorado.
You can imagine the couple's schedule. Between training twice a day, taking turns caring for Katrina, photo shoots with sponsors like New Balance and Powerbar, and Gwyn's attempt at writing her dissertation, the two feel a bit harried at times. And, as if that isn't already enough, add this straw-competition.
While both Coogans have been to the Olympics, they've never gone together. Gwyn was invited to Barcelona in 1992, a year Mark sustained an injury and couldn't run. Then in 1996, Mark aced the trials and flew off to Atlanta, while Gwyn came in fourth for a three-seat team.
"It's tough because we both try so hard," he says. It's like you put four years into one race and either you make it or you don't."
The Olympic marathon is brutal-competitors run hard, the whole way. And with the combination of tough hills and record-breaking Georgia humidity, Coogan's internal odometer was reading 36 miles, when he'd really run "only" 26. Eventually, the heat cost him the race.
Of course, he's aching for another try.
If I make the team again in 2000," he says, "I'll be able to prepare better for the Olympics, and I'll be in a better frame of mind once I get there." And, if they get their timing right, Mark and Gwyn Coogan may both board that plane headed for Sydney, Australia.
In the interim, Coogan will continue to call former Terps coach, Charles Torpey, for his trusted running-tips-by-phone sessions. He will also take on his national races with a vengeance.
Occasionally, Coogan runs into a few Maryland track buddies at these meets across the country.
"I'm probably the only one who does this full-time," he says, "but all of us still run. It's just one of those things you're never going to give up."
To many, the message was clear-playing sports gives girls higher self-esteem. It encourages them to think strategically, provides them with a unique opportunity for camaraderie. For some, it offers a new dream. From discipline to imagination, sports can take both girls and boys to another world. And former Terp Laura LeMire says, it's been one of the best trips of her life.
On the surface, LeMire leads a pretty normal life. But after talking with her a while, you begin to wonder if, underneath that executive business suit, she's hiding a bright blue unitard with a big "S" stitched across the chest. You can't help but ask-does the former lacrosse and field hockey star have an alter ego?
No, LeMire does it all-and she likes it that way. After graduating from the University of Maryland with two engineering degrees and three varsity letters for track, field hockey and lacrosse, LeMire went on to get her M.B.A. from Loyola College. Later that year, she gave birth to her first child, Katie, and continued to climb the ranks at Baltimore Gas & Electric-from distribution to investor relations to site management.
Since then, she's had a second baby (a son named Will), launched a full-fledged membership drive for the M Club, coached her daughter's soccer league, established her own community residence association, attended every P.T.A. meeting, and chaired the fundraising committee for Engineers Week in Baltimore.
By the way, she still plays whatever sport is in season.
"My whole life has really been a balancing act," says LeMire, "between work and being a mom and trying to keep up with athletics, also finding time for friends and for having fun. It's a real challenge."
Luckily, the things LeMire loves to do come naturally for her. Take, for example, the sports thing. When she came to Maryland in 1976, LeMire was planning on running track and playing field hockey. After a bout with shin splints, she decided to give her legs a break and picked up a new spring sport-lacrosse. Three years later, she made the final assist that enabled the Terps to beat Penn State in the NCAA lacrosse championship.
"I was blessed with speed," says LeMire, "And having played so many other sports, you learn skills that can be easily carried over."
LeMire played that championship season with her younger sister, Andi, and the two of them are also credited with being the first All-American field hockey players at Maryland. LeMire attributes much of their success to then-coach Sue Tyler, who single-handedly transformed Maryland's field hockey and lacrosse teams into national powerhouses.
LeMire admired Tyler for her humor and insight, and says some of their best workouts took place on rainy days.
"When we couldn't play outside, we had a mental practice, where we would actually visualize ourselves executing different plays. It really made a difference, because, if you can see yourself doing something, then it improves your ability to do it in the game," she says.
Today LeMire's vision has a lot to do with family. She and husband Bill Rees are hyper-aware of letting their kids develop a natural interest in sports-never pushing them too hard, always searching for that perfect balance between work, play and simple relaxation. The couple has seen far too many families get burned out on what was supposed to be recreation, says LeMire.
"Luckily, our life really goes in ebbs and flows, one thing picks up where another thing leaves off," she says.
And with that, LeMire flies off to pick up the kids from school. You can almost visualize her Maryland-red cape flapping gracefully in the wind.
Billy Jones didn't mean to make history at the University of Maryland, but that's exactly what he did. In 1965, Coach Bud Millikan took a risk and recruited Jones to play basketball for the Terps. In turn, Jones became the first African American player in the ACC.
"I think Coach Millikan researched his decision well," says Jones. "He knew a lot about my character-about what I could do and how I handled myself...But, still, you've got to give him a lot of credit. Because, in those days, you weren't even sure how your own campus would accept a black player."
Although the '60s were a revolutionary time, the world simply wasn't ready for certain things, says Jones. And, as a result, most blacks experienced a lack of fraternity and social life at Maryland. This may be one reason why Coach Millikan went on to recruit another outstanding African American guard, Julius "Pete" Johnson, who became Jones' roommate and best friend.
Still, Jones says the Terps were a team, period. And once he proved he belonged during the preseason, he never lacked for support.
"I never had any qualms about basketball," says Jones. "Gary Williams, Gary Ward, Joe Harrington, Mike DeCosbo-these were guys who specifically made sure that Pete and I were made to feel welcome and respected."
How did the other teams react to the first black ACC player? Jones says they didn't like him. But then again, they didn't like anybody who wasn't on their side.
"I think from the standpoint of just pure basketball, if you had Maryland red on, the opposing team disliked you. It didn't really matter what color your skin was," he says.
History suggests, however, that Millikan kept Jones on the bench during some early away games-primarily to shelter him from the crowds-while Jones was thinking just let me play.
"You have to understand," says Jones, "I came out of a high school where, of the 400 and some graduating students, there were only five 5 blacks. I had been in hostile gyms before. That was just part of growing up for me."
Once Jones got on the court, he was a show-stopper. In fact, he fondly remembers getting a standing ovation-from the crowd and the players-when he walked onto the floor to finish the last six minutes of an ACC tournament game against North Carolina.
"I think back on some of those times and, really, I was just out being me. But, now, from a historical standpoint, I can appreciate being the first black player in the conference," says Jones. "Now, I turn to any ACC game and 80 percent of the players are black."
Jones left the university with a clear picture of who he was-as a athlete and as a man. He carried this knowledge into the professional world, where he spent 16 years coaching for American University, Cal. State-Santa Barbara and UMBC. Then, last year, he made the switch. Now, instead of trying to recruit the next Magic Johnson, Jones recruits staff for Disney's Magic Kingdom.
Jones says his philosophy is simple-when it comes to making the right human resources decision, think sports and you can't go wrong. "Sports is one of the most honest arenas out there. Because, typically, if you can perform, you play. No politics involved...I hope someday all choices in the corporate and academic worlds will be handled that way," he says.
