Gets your teeth really clean
By roses
from Cape Coral, FL
Now in my 60's, my gums are receding, leaving areas where food accumulates when I eat. The water jet is excellent for cleaning these areas. Even after I floss, the water pick removes more food debris from between the teeth. Has a wide range of settings, from very gentle to a more aggressive jet of water. Also comes with two brush heads, one of them a compact size. Both do a great job cleaning with half the work of regular brushing. Has more power than most of us will use. An excellent machine overall, and hopefully will keep the dentist away!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love It
By 2babydogs
from Topeka, KS
I was raised by a Dentist, and this is great because it combines the toothbrush and water pick and they are both very good. Also, less counter space used up.
This is a great product!

Easy to assemble, easy to use, leaves my teeth feeling polished and completely clean. I love this product.
It's True...The best Interdental Clean

Fast, feels really good on the gum line

I like it so far.
By AL
from Atlanta, Ga.
The waterpik part is like other waterpiks I have bought but nicer and more substantial. The toothbrush is much better than other sonic toothbrushes I have purchased. It is heavier and seems to be of greater quality. Every other waterpik & toothbrush quit working as soon as the 1 to 2 year warranty was up. This has a lifetime guarantee which really makes it worth it.
Want whiter teeth?
By Eve Marie
from Chaffee, NY
I always wanted one but could never afford one....love this...makes brushing your teeth fun!! The water pic works wonderfully in between teeth and under bridges.

Highly Recommended
By Susan the swimmer
from Falls Church, VA
Without a doubt this is the best electric toothbrush I've every used. The water flosser is equally amazing. After a couple of days use my teeth were noticably whiter. This little powerhouse will travel with me everywhere. This waterpic deserves more than 5 stars.
By Professor
from Door County, WI
Far more effective than brushing and flossing alone. After use, particles which remained beteen teeth are gone, leaving my mouth feeling better than ever. Easy to adjust the pressure to just right for my mouth. The cordless toothbrush is two speed and both speeds seem to be much higher than other electric toothbrushes.

Like the tooth brush but the jet cleaner is not so great. Whole machine is to big!

Choice Academy opening at new S. Barre locationAdam Caira / Staff Photo
Lisa Estivill, director of therapeutic education and after-school services for Washington County Mental Health Services, shows off one of the new classrooms, the "Green" room, in the new home of Choice Academy in South Barre. The new facility opens Wednesday.
BARRE TOWN — Though midwinter break will soon be over, students in several programs run by Washington County Mental Health Services won't be picking up right where they left off — at least not geographically.
The transformation of a South Barre car dealership into a state-of-the-art school for students with severe emotional and behavioral disabilities is largely complete, and most of what isn't finished will be by Wednesday morning.
Nobody said it was easy.
In the span of a dozen days, the staff at the Beckley Day Program, which has been run out of a converted monastery on Beckley Hill in Barre Town, and Choice Academy, which has operated out of another former car dealership — this one on Summer Street in Barre — pulled off the massive move.
"Literally, we were like the big top circus," said Lisa Estivill, director of therapeutic education and after-school services for WCMHS.
"We folded school down on Friday afternoon (Feb. 22) and packed everything up," she said.
The movers arrived at both locations a week ago today, according to Estivill, who said Monday that the "break" was largely a blur, but most of the heavy lifting is done.
Estivill and Michael Curtis, director of the children, youth and family services division of WCMHS, stood among stacks of books and watched as workers assembled bookshelves in a spacious second-floor room equipped with several computer stations and e-readers for student use. Many of the volumes were donated in response to a communitywide email and a Facebook post.
"We have a library!" Estivill crowed. "You say you're promoting literacy and then you don't have a library? To have this space available is going to be amazing."
Due to a combination of space constraints and economy of scale, a library wasn't really an option at either of the other locations. However, Curtis said it is just one of the many amenities in a school that will serve nearly 50 students, from first grade through high school, starting Wednesday morning.
Curtis, who has been bogged down by the mind-numbing minutiae associated with a construction project that spanned nine months and cost $4.3 million, said he is pretty pleased with the result.
"It's a really neat reuse," he said of a building that doesn't remotely resemble the one where Formula Ford once sold cars and trucks.
With the help of Waterbury architect Joe Greene and Connor Contracting Inc., Curtis said, WCMHS was able to achieve its vision of consolidating its educational programs and its community-based services under one energy-efficient roof.
Though elementary and secondary programs will be on different floors, Curtis said staff members — who previously worked at separate locations and rarely, if ever, crossed paths — would now be able to collaborate, while students could enjoy space designed with their special needs in mind.
Despite renovations, Curtis said the other locations were ill-suited for the programs they housed, making starting from scratch an attractive option. It's an investment, he hopes, the students appreciate because the message is clear: "We're showing you respect by giving you a nice place."
If that translates into better behavior, Curtis said, that will be a bonus. However, educationally the school — from the library and the "café-torium" to the airier, well-lit classrooms and student-friendly spaces — is measurably better than the ones that were abandoned late last month.
The new building will be home base for roughly 150 employees, though Curtis said more than 60 of them are employed as behavior interventionists at schools throughout central Vermont. WCMHS elementary and secondary school programs, including two specialized offshoots of Choice Academy, will be located in the new facility, as will programs that fulfill the agency's contractual obligations to the state Department for Children and Families.
Curtis, who has had to make decisions involving everything from color schemes to door locks and locations, said there is still some work to do. There is a fenced area for a playground, but installing equipment will have to wait until spring.
As for what the new school will be called, Curtis said that hasn't been decided.
"There's another thing we're going to have to figure out," he said.

Business groups lose insurance revenue to exchangeBy Peter Hirschfeld
Vermont Press Bureau | September 27,2013MONPTELIER Business associations in Vermont have long played a key role in the health insurance industry, pooling members to secure more favorable rates from private carriers.
But the forced migration of the small-business market onto the new health insurance exchange will largely eliminate those groups role in the sector. And the transition could cut into a revenue stream that has helped fund lobbying and advocacy on behalf of business interests across the state.
Whether through commissions from sales of insurance products, or through membership dues from businesses seeking access to reduced rates, local chambers of commerce and other business groups derive a portion of their annual operating budgets from the insurance business.
Its quite possible that some member who joined for health insurance might revisit their membership, though were certainly doing everything we can to encourage them to stay with us, said Tasha Wallis, executive director of the Vermont Retailers Association.
Jim Harrison, head of the Vermont Grocers Association, said its too early to know how substantial the financial hit will be.
There absolutely will be an impact on any association that runs a group health plan, Harrison said Thursday. What none of us know is what that impact will be until it happens. And were obviously working to make sure were offering the best value and best service to members.
The decision by lawmakers last year to require businesses with fewer than 50 employees to purchase their health insurance from the new online exchange stemmed in part from a desire to shave the administrative fees baked into the association system.
Revenue generated by those fees, however, has helped fund pro-business advocacy and other member-oriented services run by trade groups. To the extent that some businesses joined their local chambers of commerce solely to gain access to reduced insurance rates, said one chamber official, the organizations could suffer a decline in memberships, as well as budgets supported by dues.
Any member whos only interested in insurance, and who no longer has an interest in insurance, is no longer going to be interested (in being a chamber member), said George Malek, executive director of the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce.
Chambers of commerce around the state collectively run the largest association plan in the state. The Vermont Association of Chamber Executives is used by 4,500 businesses, and covers about 20,000 individuals. The plan will become defunct next year, when small businesses and their employees will be required to purchase their insurance from one of the 18 products sold on the new exchange.
At the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce, annual dues start at $260 for a one- to two-person business. Kathy Davis, vice-president of public affairs for the LCRCC, said the organization has been sweetening its other benefits to avoid the dip in membership that might otherwise occur when one of its most popular perks expires.
That said, do we think we might have members that might not renew once that piece goes away? Definitely, Davis said. Its something weve been planning for and its something weve been really trying to reach out to members and say, lets talk about all the other things we can do for you.

A Minnesota school district is trying to help students make the most of their time by blending technology and transportation.
The Eastern Carver County School District is installing wireless Internet on its buses to give students the option of getting some homework done on what can be a long bus ride.
Transportation coordinator John Thomas says 25 buses have Wi-Fi so far. For student athletes like Bridgette Grobe the benefits are enormous. Grobe says she can better track her homework while traveling for games.
KMSP-TV reports some parents have questions about how the Internet use is monitored. Thomas says it's limited in the same way it is in the school building. He says the district hopes to eventually outfit all 110 buses.

Holmstrom set to retire after 15 seasons with Red Wings
Veteran forward will turn 40 on Wednesday
The team has scheduled a 4:30 p.m. ET news conference in Joe Louis Arena.
Holmstrom, who turns 40 on Wednesday, will hang up his skates after 15 seasons, four Stanley Cups championships and 1,026 games with the Red Wings. He had 243 goals and 530 points, and his 122 power-play goals are third in team history behind Nicklas Lidstrom and Gordie Howe.
"Very, very ultra-competitive," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock told the Detroit Free Press. "All the best players are ultra-competitive. And found a way to win four Stanley Cup championships and represent his country, play I don't know how many games. Pretty impressive."
Lidstrom, a longtime teammate of Holmstrom in Detroit, retired after last season.

Golf roundup: Summerhays vaults into Deere lead, Allen leads Senior OpenTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | July 14,2013SILVIS, Ill. Daniel Summerhays shot a 9-under 62 on Saturday for a two-stroke lead following third-round play at the John Deere Classic.
Summerhays, whose previous best finish on the PGA Tour was a tie for fourth, enters Sundays final round at 19-under 194 and in position for his first career win.
Summerhays notched 10 birdies while matching the lowest third-round score in tournament history.
Canadian David Hearn (64) is second at 17 under. Defending champion Zach Johnson held a share of the lead after each of the first two rounds, but hes now alone in third after shooting a 67.
J.J. Henry and Jerry Kelly are tied for fourth at 15 under, while Nicholas Thompson leads three golfers at 14 under.
Summerhays had missed three straight cuts failing to shoot a round under 70 in those events before finishing ninth last week at the Greenbrier Classic.
Hes been hot all weekend at Deere Run, though, and Saturday marked the lowest round of his career.
Hearn finished with three birdies in four holes to pull within two shots of Summerhays. After matching 66s, Hearn went two strokes lower to give himself a chance on Sunday.
Johnson had been remarkably consistent over his last six rounds at Deere Run.
For the first time in a long time, Johnson found himself battling just to hang close to the leaders.
He eagled No. 2 with a 60-foot putt to grab the lead outright but a bogey at the par-4 6th was his first here in 62 holes, and he picked up another one five holes later.
No amateur has won on the PGA Tour since Phil Mickleson kicked off his brilliant career with a victory at the Northern Telecom Open 22 years ago.
But for about 15 minutes, unheralded Stanford amateur Patrick Rodgers was alone atop the leaderboard.
Rodgers was 7 under through 12 holes, a stretch capped by a winding 57-foot birdie that put him a shot clear of the field. Rodgers bogeyed No. 18 to finish at 6 under for the round, but he heads into a finale at 12 under.
Kind of got a mental hurdle off my back making my first cut in a professional event, so (Saturday) was pressure free. It was good. I could just go out there and make a ton of birdies, said Rodgers, a two-time All-American at Stanford. The pressure is off me. I can go out and be stress free as an amateur and try to have fun.
Three-time tournament winner Steve Stricker (69) is eight shots back of Summerhays. Hell need a tremendous final round and some serious help to claim his fourth title in five years.
Perry, Funk within
two at Senior Open
OMAHA, Neb. Kenny Perry and Fred Funk made charges in the U.S. Senior Open on Saturday, each pulling within two shots of leader Michael Allen with one round to go.
Perry, going for a second straight win in a senior major, shot 6-under-par 64 to match Corey Pavin for the low round at Omaha Country Club. Funk shot 67 after making a long birdie putt on No. 18.
Allen, who had a 63 Friday, ballooned to a 2-over 72. He started the day with a 5-stroke advantage over Rocco Mediate. It was the largest lead after 36 holes in the tournaments 34-year history.
Allen was at 8-under 202 for the tournament.
Pavin, who tied for second in last years tournament, was two shots behind Perry and Funk and four behind Allen.
Mediate faded with bogeys on four of five holes in the middle of his round and sat five shots off the lead after a 72.
Allen said Friday he had been playing through neck pain. He rubbed the right side of his neck Saturday as he walked up the 17th fairway. He saved par there, but he bogeyed the 18th to set the stage for a dramatic finish Sunday.
Allen still led by five after nine holes, but it was down to three after he bogeyed Nos. 10 and 11.
Perry, 10 shots behind Allen after the second round, had nines of 32-32 on Saturday. He started his push with an eagle on the par-5 sixth hole.
He was the only golfer to birdie the 501-yard, par-4 10th. He drove into the rough but recovered with a pitching wedge to 20 feet.
Perry birdied the par-3 16th and the 297-yard, par-4 17th to get to six under for the tournament.
Funk, the 2009 winner, started his round seven shots off the lead. He birdied Nos. 2, 6 and 7 to get to six under.
He recovered from a double-bogey on No. 10 with birdies on three of the last five holes.
On the 18th, he seemed to surprise himself when his 35-foot birdie putt dropped.
He turned to the gallery, lifted his left leg, raised his right fist and gave it a pump after the putt dropped.
The 6,700-yard course had surrendered just one sub-67 round before Saturday. There were five in the third round, and 27 golfers broke par.MORE IN Wire SportsORLANDO, Fla. Full StoryOXON HILL, Md.

Carada Precision Series Projection Screens are covered with our Black Hole™ trim - AT NO EXTRA COST!
Projector Screen material attaches to the rear of the aluminum frame by metal snaps.
The aluminum used in our Precision Series Theater Screen frames is approximately 50% thicker than the .062" wall aluminum used by our competitors, which allows for a much stronger and sturdier fixed projector screen.
Our Classic Cinema White screen material provides an exceptionally wide angle of view, helping to maintain a consistent image from different seating areas. It has a gain of 1.0, and is most suitable for dedicated theaters with good ambient light control.
Our Brilliant White screen material has a gain of 1.4 for that extra bit of punch, with a minimal decrease in viewing angle. It is also a thicker, more opaque gauge of vinyl than our Classic Cinema White. With its higher gain, it is a good option for dimmer projectors, or in environments with some ambient light such as boardrooms or churches.
Our High Contrast Grey screen material has a gain of 0.8, and can improve your image's contrast by lowering the black levels. This material is a good option for digital projectors with less than spectacular contrast ratios.

Often we're sitting back on our easy-chair watching movies about the trials of some poor chap who struggles through hardships until he gets rewarded in the end. It's a universal tale that gets us every time.
We've all had our difficult times and some of us have our own stories. Well so do many famous folks -- some are the very people you're watching on TV -- or it's the singer we listen to or the author whose novel we curl up with on a snowed-in morning.
Yes, the subjects of the following rags-to-riches stories are particularly compelling because they became famous and their place in the public eye gives them an extra nudge of admiration.
The following are examples of celebrities who made their way for the love of their craft and in the end ... became famous.
Ahead, real life stories with "Hollywood-type" endings, starting with an actor who didn't always have something to laugh about ...
No. 5: Jim Carrey
The world-famous funny man from Canada lived quite a humbling youth. At 15, his father lost his accounting job so his family had to live rent-free in a farmhouse. In exchange they all performed janitorial and security labor at the nearby tire factory.
Later, his mother became seriously ill, so at 16, Carrey dropped out of school to care for her. Soon after, his family was forced to live out of their VW bus.
Despite all this, Carrey's flame for comedy always flickered and when his mother was bedridden, he performed to make her laugh and to raise money. He started working comedy clubs in Toronto and became a success.
When he was 17, he moved to LA, where he caught the eye of Rodney "No Respect" Dangerfield. Eventually, he starred in "In Living Color" and got his breakout role in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective."
Our next rags-to-riches celeb used to literally sing for her supper ...
No. 4: Jewel
This north woods songstress was raised in Homer, Alaska -- without indoor plumbing. (Outhouses must be just great in Alaska winters!)
She was encouraged to sing by her father as the two of them would perform in local bars and taverns. That's when she learned how to yodel, crafting a unique vocal style that would make her famous.
But before she got a taste of that fame, Jewel went around the country living out of her van performing wherever she could -- bars, street performances, whatever.
Like so many stories about fame you hear, it was right place right time -- then again, we make our own luck, do we not? Good 'ole Flea from the band Red Hot Chili Peppers happened upon her at the coffee shop she was performing at in San Diego and soon after, she was introduced to an Atlantic Records producer and the rest is history.
Next, we turn to an author with a magical story ...
No. 3: J.K. Rowling
J.K. Rowling was always a storyteller. When she was 5 years old she wrote her first tale and remembers telling it to her sister. "She fell down a rabbit hole and was fed strawberries by the rabbit family," recalls Rowling.
She was a secretary in London in 1990 when, during a four-hour train delay, came up with the idea of Harry Potter. (Lesson: transportation delays can be inspiring.)
As soon as she made it home, she began to write.
But it wasn't happily ever after quite yet. Soon after this, her mother died, and after moving in with her sister, Rowling was diagnosed with depression. By 1994 she was a single mother living on welfare.
She contemplated suicide. But she also spent hours a day in a nearby coffee shop penning her novel. Sometimes our bottoms are firm ground. From this foundation, Rowling poured out her creativity introducing the world to Harry Potter.
Our next celebrity went from the trailer park to the red carpet ...
No. 2: Hilary Swank

Having a line of Christmas lights on their lawn to show their holiday spirit would be enough for some families , but an Idaho family chose to send their season's greetings in a grand way.
The Cadger family decorated their Meridian home with nearly 40,000 lights and programmed a 6-hour dancing lightshow for the passersby to see. The multi-colored electric lights flashed in time with the dubstep music.
"We have around 35,000 lights and 80 Light-O-Rama channels, and it's all done by me – a 17-year-old and my dad", the YouTube uploader said.
The blinking lights were synched to Skrillex's "Cinema" and "Bangarang". According to the Cadgers, they wrapped the exterior of their house with more than 2 miles of extension cords and Christmas lights. They shaped the lights into pines trees, candy canes, and laid the word 'Joy' on their home's siding.
The video, which was posted on YouTube on November 28, has been watched more than a million times.

NRU Phototoxicity Assay Step-by-Step
Click on a number from above to reveal the corresponding step instructions. The links below are permanent and bookmarkable.
The cells to be used for the 96-well assays are stored in a liquid nitrogen freezer. When ready for use, the cells are thawed, resuspended, and transferred to a culture flask, where they will grow and multiply until optimal conditions have been achieved.
Trypsin solution is added to the flask to remove the cells. The cells are resuspended in medium, counted, and "seeded" into 96-well plates using a multichannel pipet.
Dose & UVA
The test material is serially diluted to make a range of doses.
The test article dilutions are added to the inner wells containing cells.
Each plate also contains 12 negative, or solvent, control wells which are used to determine % of control viability.
One plate dosed with test material is then exposed to UVA light while the other remains in the dark at room temperature.
Test Article Removal & Rinsing
The test material is removed by decanting.
The plates are rinsed with a buffered saline solution to remove any residual test material.
Addition of Vital Dye
A solution of Neutral Red, a vital dye, is added to the 96-well plate. The plates are incubated at standard culture conditions to allow neutral red uptake by the cells.
Addition of Solvent
After the 3 hour neutral red incubation, excess neutral red is decanted and solvent is added to all wells.
The solvent extracts the neutral red dye contained within the cells.
96-well Plate Reading
The 96-well plates are placed on a plate shaker to fully extract the neutral red and evenly distribute the dye in each well.
A spectrometer measures the absorbance of each sample at a specific wavelength.
The absorbance values (optical density) are then used to determine the viability of each well by comparing the optical density of the each test material treated well compared the negative (or solvent ) control wells.

Cranking the air conditioner when it's cold outside led Lee County authorities to arrest four men accused of operating a marijuana grow house.
Acting on a complaint, detectives with the Lee County Sheriff's Office narcotics unit went to a Fort Myers home last week.
MUGSHOTS: Who Got Arrested In South Florida?
Authorities found water hoses and pipes on the walls in the back of the home and three air conditioners hooked up to the pipes.
After obtaining a search warrant, four men were arrested Friday on marijuana trafficking charges. A fourth person was also arrested on a charge of possession of weapons by a convicted felon. Several guns were found throughout the home.
A sheriff's office statement said having the air conditioners turned on in 64-degree weather "was just one of the many telltale signs" that this home was a grow house.

No. 5: Bow to the King of Remotes
In many homes, the remote is in the hand of the male in the room or near him so that he can channel surf at will.
This may be a problem in some households because no one else gets to watch their favorite show on the family room's TV. But if you don't do anything else for your dad on Father's Day, cut him some slack with the remote on his day.
Make a crown out of paper and write on it, "King Of The Remote" and then decorate the remote with a bow.
Dads who are avid sports fans and comfortable couch potatoes will love you for not complaining about the station or the remote.
This would be great for fathers who enjoy jokes. But if your father wouldn't appreciate a few laughs over the remote, think about catering to him instead ...

A school district in Long Island has released a student summer reading list riddled with spelling errors.
The Associated Press reports that F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" is misspelled as "The Great Gypsy," and author Emily Bronte is listed as Emily Bonte. There are more than 30 errors on the list provided by the Hempstead Public Schools.
In a statement, a member of the New York State Department of Education's board of regents said the mistakes indicated that a stable administration was essential for children to get a good education. The statement said, "Hempstead has not had a stable administration for a long time and the kids are suffering."
Hempstead Superintendent Susan Johnson didn't immediately return a call for comment.

Powell underscores support for green energyAnthony Edwards photo
Green Mountain Power CEO Mary Powell speaks to legislators and school board members about the utilitys ideas during a breakfast at the Stafford Technical Center in Rutland on Tuesday morning.
RUTLAND At a legislative breakfast this week, Green Mountain Power Chief Executive Officer Mary Powell pledged that the company will continue to collaborate with educational and business leaders statewide to offset the costs of electric power with green energy products.
She also championed Rutland as a hub for renewable energy projects that will help keep electricity rates low.
She said that seeing young people help build solar panels, as was the case with Stafford Technical Center students recently at the GMP solar farm site on Route 7, is not enough.
Our goal is to knock the ball out of the park, Powell told leaders gathered at the technical center Tuesday.
She said 72 percent of customers surveyed want green energy and they dont want to be charged extra for it.
The companys goal is to produce more green energy, keep the cost low for ratepayers and make sure its reliable, according to Powell.
A South Hero resident, Powell has engaged in community dialogue statewide since she became CEO in 2008. This past year, GMP and Central Vermont Public Service merged.
The power we have in Vermont is to collaborate, Powell said, adding that she had already worked with many people in the room including local state representatives, staff members from the Washington offices of Sen. Patrick Leahy and Rep. Peter Welch and educational leaders around the state.
There are so many ways to connect, unlike New York City, where I grew up, she said.
Under Powell, GMP has bought a vacant commercial building in downtown Rutland to create an energy innovation center. The company has also leased property that was a Rutland landfill to build a solar farm and attracted new businesses like Small Dog Electronics, which will open next year on West Street to fill empty storefronts downtown.
I really see the work we are doing in Rutland as a regional and national example of building an approach to successes in the community, she said.
Powell fielded questions from the audience, including one from newly elected Rutland Town state Rep. Tom Terenzini, who asked about a $21 million bailout paid for by ratepayers.
Powell said the money was falsely reported as a bailout. She said the money was used for investments with proven benefits for GMP customers.
She also voiced her support for wind energy, citing the 65 percent of GMP customers surveyed who support wind projects as part of the mix of renewable energy projects undertaken by the company.
I love the project we did, Powell said of the Kingdom Community Wind project in Lowell, which was approved by voters in that town in 2010. It has been opposed by many in surrounding communities.
The vast majority of folks were supporting it. ... Its important that everything is in the mix.

Apparently Those Mid-Season All GM Diplomacy Tournaments Paid Off
First the Nationals, then the Red Sox and now, apparently, the Phillies have pulled off a completely unexpected out of left field, or in this case the Bullpen, deal. Cliff Lee. Wow. All this time, I thought that the secret unnamed suitor was sort of a joke, part of the general circus atmosphere and most likely the Nationals anyway, but it was serious. I think we now know the reason Cliff Lee has been off hunting deer all this time – he couldn't trust himself not to break out in a big Fooled You! grin…much like Carl Crawford, apparently. (Tony Reagins, I take back most of my griping about you, on the Crawford issue at least.)
Yeah, so there I was, diligently writing my company's newsletter (Yes. Still. At just shy of midnight. Why do you ask?), enjoying a lovely glass of port (Mitchella Vineyards Riportella III – tawny, brandied cherries, slightly spicy, absolutely gorgeous – and, yes, de rigueur when one is still writing one's company newsletter at just shy of midnight), when on a whim I decided to glance at a few of the MLBlogs until the latest fit of I-don't-really-want-to-be-writing-about-HR-issues-at-this-hour-on-my-own-time-thank-you-very-much spawned stuck-ness passed. And, much like Wednesday evening, I was left briefly wondering if I didn't somehow check out The Onion by mistake. Nope, no joke. Lee's a Phillie, again. (So, Yogi, gotta ask. Would that be déjà vu all over again or just plain ordinary déjà vu?)
I'd be lying if I said I was sorry the Angels won't have to face Lee in 2011 unless all parties involved have an excellent post season run…and, with Tony Reagins' latest announcement that having a full season with Kendry Morales and Dan Haren in addition to the two pitchers he has acquired is the equivalent of pulling off four free agency signings, the early odds on the Angels achieving this feat aren't looking as good as I had hoped. Sorry Tony, I still really have to disagree with you on that one. But I digress (Yes, I am on my second glass of port, why do you ask? LOL!)…
I do offer my sincere condolences to my friends on MLBlogs, especially the Yankees and Rangers fans, who were hoping their team would snag Cliff Lee. We all know what it is to root really hard for our guys and what it is to be extremely disappointed when they don't get what we most want them have. As one sometime, and recently oft, disappointed fan to another, I feel your pain. To borrow loosely the wisdom according to Scarlett O'Hara, that greatest of all pragmatists, Tomorrow is another day. You can stand it then. And later there will be small satisfaction in knowing that you won't have to face him unless it's in the post season either.
5 Comments
Good analogy. I'll be like Scarlett O'Hara and say, "Tomorrow is another day." And to Cliff Lee, I'll be Rhett Butler and say, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!" LOL.
The Phillies are going to be one heck of a team to beat next year, that's for sure. Still, it's nice to know that Lee didn't follow the money anywhere, but chose a team and a city he wanted to play for. I just hope the Giants pitching stays strong enough in 2011 to beat Philadelphia again!
Starting to think this off season is the year of the underdog.
Not so much as a team concept, but for the eventual landing of a player you least thought would pick a certain franchise. Cliff Lee, Carl Crawford and Jayson Werth all picked teams that seemed to be on the outside looking in during the process.
But maybe that cloak of mystery and staying on the outer fringe won them their ultimate prize.
But all three signings can be viewed as a blessing or a curse, depends on which leagueor division you are playing at the time.
Rays Renegade
Hi, Kristin —
I saw your comment on Jane's blog and wanted to come over and introduce myself. Based on your profile picture and your comment about drinking port while writing your company newsletter, I am convinced we are soul sisters. hehe!
Jane – I like your addition! I was pleasantly surprised to see that MLBlogs did not censor your Rhett Butler quote like the Hayes Code almost did to the movie, LOL.
WestCoastGirl – Oh wow, they are going to have an absolutely killer starting rotation. Although, the Giants did prove that all of those guys are hittable if you work at it. It was nice to see a player seemingly follow his heart instead of the largest check…although I'm not dissing following the largest check either. I think it's hard for anyone to turn down the largest check in their respective industries so I understand players who do that too.
Rays Renegade – Underdog or cloak and dagger, that's for certain. As much as I am disappointed in at least one of the outcomes, I have to applaud the front offices who played the game so skillfully. At least it's been anything but boring to watch I suppose. Fortunately the season is too long and too far away to assess blessings vs. curses at this point, I think.
-Jen – Pleased to meet you. Thanks for dropping by and commenting! Folks who like baseball, port and writing are especially always welcome🙂

Pinup Girl Lady Stardust Trivia
Pinup girls were popular during the Second World War and were deemed a valuable morale builder for servicemen overseas. The name "pinup" came from the pictures of the girls printed in large format magazines which could be easily torn out from the magazine and "pinned up" on a barracks wall. The theme transferred over to the bomber crews as they were allowed to personalize their aircraft.
Paintings of "pinup" girls often adorned the noses of bomber planes such as B-17s, B-25s, B-26s, and B-29s. Along with the painted picture of a pretty pinup girl, the crews would also assign a name to their aircraft. Lady Stardust the II was a B-17 Flying Fortress that belonged to the 452nd bomber group in 1944.
Pilot Milan Merecek was commanding the bomber on a mission to enemy occupied Czechoslovakia when the B-17 above them exploded. Over a hundred German fighters were swarming the formation. The flak debris, including a parachuting crew member from the exploded plane smashed off the glass front nose and pieces tore through the fuselage, wounding several gunners while 20mm cannon rounds killed the engineer and top turret gunner.
Radioman Sergeant Dwight Miller took over command, issuing first aid, orders and oxygen to his wounded comrades. While the plane managed to full fill its bombing mission, the damage to two of the engines from the aerial battle was too great to complete the flight home over the English Channel. Lady Stardust landed in the channel and the crew bailed out and waited for rescue. Lady Stardust may have ended its journey but most of the crew lived to fly again.
Survivor Sergeant Miller recalled this chilling tale of the Lady Stardust's final mission, here in his own words (note, this is a gruesome real life account of the war in the air, not for the squeamish!):
"Our radio room had the old open hatch and I could see and hear everything plainly. The sky was full of tracers. In the smoke a tail and parts of a fuselage went past. Some ships were on fire and 846 to the right was flaming from the Number 3. Focke Wulfs came right over us. Two exploded to the right, one to the left, and some were on fire. A P-47 was going down burning. Someone bailed out and immediately his chute opened, right in the midst of everything. A Focke Wulf exploded by his side and his chute folded in rags. I didn't fire a shot because three B-17's were above us. I heard something banging, like a bass drummer going mad. It was the landing flap on the right wing. It was hanging down waving in the wind and hitting the wing.
Then I heard a sharp snap. The lieutenant formation officer in the tail turret of the crippled lead ship above had bailed out and he had fallen right into the Plexiglass nose before bouncing off and into our right wing. Some 'stringy stuff' slid back across my window. The lieutenant's harness and lines were hanging on our wing. I opened the door and looked toward the cockpit. The nose was gone. Blood--a lot of it--and a terrific wind blinded me. I was covered from head to foot. It went on through the ship painting it red and freezing. The bomb bays were solid red and slippery. The blood came from the engineer 'Uncle Dudley' Orcutt. The right side of his head was gone. He didn't look like Dud. I had no doubt he was dead.
I took the extra oxygen bottle and started up the catwalk. There was a hard wind coming from the front. I was holding onto the left rope when it broke. It was weakened from an exploded shell, I guess. I fell on the right rope. I dropped my oxygen bottle and it went tumbling down. I spent some time trying to get the bomb-bay doors up with my knife. The crank and extension were gone so I gave the job up. I took some wire from the bomb pins and fixed the rope back.
I got some first aid kits and hunted for some sulfur powder. There was none. The right waist gunner grabbed a bandage and put it on his head. The expression in his eyes reminded me of a patient taking his first look at the stub of his leg after an amputation. Red was still bleeding and as he breathed, blood came out of the hole in his eye. I wiped the blood off his face. He returned the act and said, "I thought you were a walking dead man". Then the tail gunner yelled, "Tail gunner hit"!
From the way he said it, I knew he was in a lot of pain. I grabbed the first aid kit and ran to him. After laying him down in the waist, I began slicing my way to his wound, which was in his back. It was a terrible hole and I hurried to get a bandage on so he wouldn't lose too much blood. I gave him a shot of morphine. We were alone, flying just above the ground, like a coyote sneaking among bushes in fear of yelping hounds close behind...
Then came the call over the interphone that we loved to hear. 'There is the Channel ahead'!"

Oven fries
For some, sandwiches are incomplete without a side of fries. The good news is that they can be made by oven roasting without the mess or calories of deep-fat frying. Here's a simple method for preparing garlicky "fries" in the oven.
1 large baking potato, cut into 3- by 3/8-inch strips (removing the peel is optional)
1 tbsp. olive oil
Salt and other seasonings to taste
Preheat the oven to 450° F. Soak the potato strips in cold water for about 10 minutes. Drain well and roll in a clean dish towel to dry. Toss the strips with the olive oil in a medium bowl.
Spread the strips in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for about 25 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the strips are lightly browned and crispy.
Press the baked strips between sheets of paper toweling. Discard the towels and transfer the fries to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with salt. Serve hot.

Germanwings, a Lufthansa Group airline, has gradually been preparing for take-off on Lufthansa's routes in Germany and Europe; exceptions are the Frankfurt and Munich hubs. This is so that the most extensive European route network will still be available to you in the future. Germanwings has now launched a completely new service offer for you: simply choose the level of comfort that suits you best — whilst always enjoying outstanding value for money when you fly.
Enjoy 'à-la-carte flying'
The 'new Germanwings' gives you the choice between especially low prices, selected services and all-inclusive comfort. With the BASIC fare package you can purchase services for an additional charge if you wish; the SMART fare package already includes seat reservation and an in-flight snack, among other benefits, and the BEST fare package gives you numerous inclusive comforts.
Currently the BEST fare package is available on domestic German routes as well as for Germanwings flights to and from Basel, Birmingham, Brussels, Geneva, London, Manchester, Moscow, Nice, Paris, Vienna and Zurich.
Your Miles & More status privileges
On Germanwings, as a Frequent Traveller, Senator or HON Circle Member, you will also be able to enjoy numerous extras; however, these are not identical to those which you receive on Lufthansa flights.
The route changeover schedule
Flights to and from Stuttgart and to and from Cologne, as well as some of the routes to and from Hamburg, are already being operated by Germanwings. All other flights to and from Hamburg, Berlin and Dusseldorf will gradually be transferred to Germanwings by the end of 2015.
Lufthansa will continue to operate flights to and from Frankfurt and to and from Munich; exceptions are long-haul flights and flights from Munich to Paderborn and vice versa.
The latest summary of the route changeover
Your booking in the transitional phase
If you have already booked flights with Lufthansa that will be operated by Germanwings under the new schedule, you will be automatically rebooked on Germanwings. You will be notified of the rebooking by e-mail or by your travel agent and can then conveniently check-in for your flight online via germanwings.com.
If you hold a Business Class ticket you will be rebooked onto the Germanwings BEST fare package.* Economy Class tickets will be rebooked onto the SMART fare package. On request, passengers can also be transferred to Lufthansa connecting flights or to an alternative Lufthansa direct flight from another domestic German departure airport.
Passengers may also obtain a full refund for their ticket. With a refund, if there is a subsequent new booking, the price may be cheaper or dearer than the original Lufthansa fare depending upon seat availability on the actual day.
* if available on the route booked
For your Germanwings flights you can check in online via germanwings.com, by mobile phone or at the Germanwings airport counter.
Special rules apply to journeys combining Lufthansa and Germanwings flights:
Check-in options for combined bookings at a glance
How big will the new Germanwings be?
The new Germanwings will operate 110 routes with about 90 aircraft. By the end of 2014, it will have a pure Airbus fleet, plus Eurowings' Bombardier CRJ900 fleet at its disposal, which also will be operating flights for Germanwings.
How big will the Lufthansa medium-haul fleet be?
Lufthansa has about 320 aircraft at Frankfurt and Munich airport. The medium-haul fleet will consist entirely of the Airbus A320 fleet by Winter 2013/2014 at the latest.
Are there alterations to the timetable?
Currently not. To begin with, the new Germanwings will completely take over the existing Lufthansa and Germanwings flights in Cologne, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Hanover, Stuttgart and Berlin. Several Lufthansa routes to and from Hamburg are already being operated by Germanwings, with all other routes following by the end of January 2014. Flights from and to Berlin will gradually be transferred to Germanwings from the beginning of November 2013 to the end of March 2014. Finally, Dusseldorf will follow from the end of March 2014 to December 2015.
Which services does the new Germanwings offer the customer?
The BASIC fare package, from 33 euros for a one-way flight, is aimed at passengers who are flying on a budget. If they wish, they can book certain extra services for an additional charge.
The SMART fare package, from 53 euros for a one-way flight, already comes with a number of inclusive services. These include a free baggage allowance of one bag up to 23 kg, a complimentary snack and beverage and – if available – a choice of seat with a very generous seat pitch from row 4.
The BEST fare package, from 149 euros for a one-way flight, is tailored to those more discerning passengers who wish to travel in greater comfort. Numerous services are included: passengers can take two pieces of baggage weighing up to 23 kg apiece, have access to the lounges, enjoy priority check-in and enjoy preferential treatment at the security checkpoint and when boarding at selected destinations. On board, passengers have a seat of their choice with a very generous seat pitch in rows 1 to 3, with the middle seat in the row kept free; a dedicated hand-luggage compartment and a selection of food and beverages from the à-la-carte menu.
On which routes is the BEST fare package available?
To begin with, the BEST fare package will be available on domestic German routes and on flights to and from Basel, Birmingham, Brussels, Geneva, London, Manchester, Moscow, Nice, Paris, Vienna and Zurich.
Which service is provided on board?
In rows 1 to 10, Germanwings offers its customers a very generous seat pitch.
Snacks and beverages can be chosen from the Sky Bistro and Shop card and from a monthly menu, which, among other fresh seasonal products, offers special snacks prepared with regional ingredients. The catering offered on board depends on the service package booked:
- The complete range of snacks and drinks is available for purchase to customers who have booked the BASIC fare.
- The SMART fare package includes a snack box, mineral water and a non-alcoholic drink of your choice; further snacks and beverages from the entire range offered can be purchased.
- Customers who have booked the BEST fare package can freely choose from the snacks and drinks on the on-board menu.
Can Miles & More members retain their status with Germanwings?
Yes. Status miles and HON Circle miles are awarded when booking a BEST fare. Germanwings customers can qualify for FTL, SEN and HON status.
What is the situation regarding lounge access for Germanwings' passengers?
Free access to lounges depends on the service package booked or the status of the passenger. Lounge access cannot be added to the SMART and BASIC fare packages, whereas the BEST fare package already includes free lounge access for all passengers. Free access to lounges is also available to Frequent Travellers who have booked the SMART fare package and to Senators and HON Circle Members, irrespective of the service package booked.
How do I obtain access to lounges?
Simply show your boarding pass if you have booked the BEST fare package. Frequent Travellers, Senators or HON Circle Members should additionally have their Miles & More Card readily available.
Is there a security fast lane at every destination?
Fast lanes can be used by HON Circle Members, Senators and passengers who have booked the BEST fare; however, this service is not available at all destinations.
Will there only be Germanwings counters at airports?
No. There will continue to be check-in counters for both airlines at all airports at which Lufthansa and Germanwings flights are offered.
- To check in, customers who have booked a flight operated by Lufthansa should go to the Lufthansa counter. Customers who have booked a flight operated by Germanwings will check in at the Germanwings counter.
- Germanwings passengers whose bookings have been made via an electronic reservation system (e.g. at a travel agency) can also be served at Lufthansa ticket counters.
- Passengers who have booked a flight via germanwings.com are served at the Germanwings counter.
How can I change a flexible Germanwings booking?
- If the booking has been made via germanwings.com, by mobile device or via the Germanwings Call Centre, rebookings can be made via these channels.
- For bookings made via LH.com flights can be rebooked via the website or by contacting either the Lufthansa or Germanwings Call Centre.
- Travel agency bookings can be changed by contacting the respective agency or the Germanwings Call Centre.
Can I continue using iPhone and Android apps for bookings and check-in?
Yes. Updates concerning functions like booking, check-in and information on the flight schedule are still available.
If the route booked includes connecting flights operated by other airlines, will it be sufficient to check in once?
Yes. If you transfer from a Germanwings flight to a flight operated by a different airline, you have to check in once only ― via germanings.com, by using mobile services, at the check-in machine or the Germanwings counter.
Who should I contact if I have a complaint?
Customers' complaints are handled by the Germanwings Call Centre. They are available from 6 a.m. to midnight CET under the number 0180 6 320 320 (€0.20 per call from a Deutsche Telekom landline; mobile charges will be max. €0.60 per call).
