First Grade Writers : Units of Study to Help Children Plan, Organize, and Structure Their Ideas Parsons outlines five specific units of study for your writing workshop that help students prepare thoughtfully to write.


OXO Good Grips 1048211 Toilet Brush with Storage Canister, Black
Sleeker than most toilet brushes, the Good Grips brush from OXO stays upright and concealed in its own clamshell canister when not in use. It's attractive enough that this is one cleaning utensil that won't need to be hidden away. The flexibility of the handle enhances cleaning at any angle, while the egg-shaped knob at the top keeps the brush steady and easy to grip when extra pressure is needed.

Bullet-shaped to fit into even low-flow toilets, the brush head features two kinds of bristles: softer ones for cleaning the bowl and stiff upper bristles for heavy-duty scrubbing under the rim. When the bristles wear out, there's no need to throw away the whole brush since replacement heads are available. Simply unscrew the old head and insert the new one. The brush and canister together measure 18 by 5 by 5 inches. OXO backs all its products with a satisfaction warranty, and will replace or refund any returned item. --Ann Bieri

Hamilton Beach Water Cooler with Storage Cabinet
In the office or at home, this water cooler from Hamilton Beach offers something more than just a way to wet your whistle. The unit features shelves for storing instant coffee, tea, cocoa—whatever your non-perishable pleasure. The cooler features large push-button faucets (the “hot” one is child resistant), a removable drip tray, .5 gal./hr. cooling rate and 1.33 gal./hr. heating rate. Takes 3- to 5-gal. tanks (sold separately). Imported. 37Hx12-1/2Wx12D”.

Customer Review: Great dispenser

I happened to purchase this unit online as well and my unit was delivered in perfect condition. I have no reason to be negative about purchasing online other than buying a used item off some other site. I do recommend this dispenser to all who want to get an inexpensive unit that will last. The call center was very helpful when I talked to them about setting up the unit and changing the temperature on the cold water. People must understand that sometimes when buying online product may be damaged on its way to be delivered. Who can you blame? Manufacturer, person at call center? NO, but what about getting the carrier involved to pay for damages as they are the ones throwing the packages around at there centers and inside the trucks.

Gillette Fusion Power Razor with Storage Case (Pack of 2)
The Gillette Fusion Power is the first razor to bring advanced electronics to wet shaving. It is also the first shaving system for men that combines revolutionary blade technologies on both the front and the back of a single shaving cartridge. Designed for every kind of face -- from the soft, clean-shaven to the rough and stubbled -- the Fusion offers the most comfortable and precise shave you'll get from any blade on the market.

Revolutionary Blade Technology
Gillette Fusion Power features a breakthrough five-blade shaving surface technology on the front of the cartridge. The blades are spaced 30 percent closer together than the M3 Power cartridges, Gillette's earlier generation of razors. In fact, in consumer tests, the Fusion Power was preferred overall to the M3 Power razor by 2-to-1, and scored higher on every performance, appearance and ergonomic measure as well.


Gillette's Fusion Power.

Gillette's breakthrough design features five blades, a flexible comfort guard, and an enhanced Lubrastrip. View larger.
The combination of adding more blades and narrowing the inter-blade span creates a "shaving surface" that distributes the force across the blades, resulting in significantly less irritation and more comfort. Gillette's Fusion Power features the most advanced blade edge technology with the smoothest blade edge coating -- this translates into a blade with incredible glide and comfort. The new flexible comfort guard carefully follows the contours of the face to help shaving surface comfortably shave closer than ever. And an enhanced indicator Lubrastrip infused with skin conditioning Vitamin E, Aloe, and natural oils fades from blue to white, signaling when optimal shave conditions have been reduced and it's time to change your razor.

Setting New Standards for Precision and Design
The back side of the Fusion Power blade cartridge sets a new standard for precision for today's razor. The Precision Trimmer blade -- a single blade built into the back of the cartridge -- allows men to easily trim sideburns, shave under the nose, and expertly shape facial hair expertly and comfortably.

The Fusion Power also features an ergonomic, superbly engineered razor handle with an elastomer coating that provides a secure grip, better control, and a design that is both elegant and highly functional. The on/off button is flush with the razor handle to help avoid accidental activation or deactivation, and the AAA battery is easy to insert and replace. The Fusion Power handle features an on-board microchip that optimizes the razor's performance, and it is shower-safe, so you can shave wherever you prefer. A low-battery indicator light signals when to change the power source, and the automatic shut-off turns the razor off after eight minutes to help conserve batteries. With this next-generation cartridge from Gillette, the future of shaving has finally arrived. The Fusion promises to give your face the cleanest, closest, and most comfortable shave you'll have ever experienced.


What's in the Box
Gillette Fusion Razor, one cartridge, and one Duracell AAA battery.

Organize Your Office! Simple Routines for Managing Your Workspace (Revised and Updated) Ronni Eisenberg, who lectures and gives workshops on organization skills throughout the U.S., is also author of the popular but slightly more intimidating Organize Yourself!. Here she's brought a slew of practical tips for managing your workspace, from your briefcase to your bulletin board, from your e-mail inbox to those endless interruptions from coworkers. She covers the basics, including organizing your desktop and stemming the flood of junk mail (send a note to the Direct Marketing Association). She also hits upon modern organizational dilemmas, such as how to decide if you'd be better off with or without a PalmPilot. Some of the hundreds of handy tips she offers include:

  • ways for making both in-person and telephone meetings quicker and more productive;
  • methods for confronting procrastination and poor work habits;
  • 10 rules to adhere to when filing; and
  • 14 ways to make meetings run smoothly and accomplish what you want them to.
Much of Eisenberg's advice is geared toward the executive; she advises closing your office door to really concentrate on big projects, something that the cubicle-bound can't do. But if you aspire to have that corner office, or if you're prone to losing important documents or rushing to big meetings several minutes late with sweat beading up along your forehead, Eisenberg's words of wisdom should help you get your act in gear.

VIOlight VS100 Toothbrush Sanitizer and Storage System
No matter how often you scrub and clean, microscopic critters will thrive in the warm, moist environment of the average bathroom. In fact, a single toothbrush can harbor millions of microorganisms-- millions! That means it's a good idea to sanitize something you stick in your mouth everyday, thus reducing your chances of infection.



The Violight's nifty design, mixed with the peace of mind it offers, make it a great addition to the bathroom.
Fortunately, the Violight VS100 Toothbrush Sanitizer offers an effective way to protect yourself and your family in a quick and easy-to-use package. Toothbrushers everywhere will like this trusty little gadget.

When we removed the sanitizer from its box, we were impressed with the stylish design. It is simple and sleek, with a silver matte-finished body and an opaque, light blue cap. While it looks like an ordinary toothbrush holder, it's actually furnished with a powerful UV germicidal light bulb. After plugging in the sanitizer, we inserted our brushes and pressed the "VIO" button on the front of the device. The bulb switched on, producing a soothing blue glow. In only ten short minutes the bulb switched off and our toothbrushes were left clean and safely stored in the sanitizer.

According to independent studies, the Violight is able to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria living on your toothbrush. Plus, it's ultra-safe to use, and you don't have to mess with dangerous, hot steam or boiling water. We used the Violight over and over again for a week, sanitizing our brushes after each use-- up three times a day. The device consistently did its job and, according to the manufacturer, one bulb should last over 2000 hours. This means you could clean four brushes over two hundred times.

The Violight has some other practical features that deserve mention. First, the bulb is very easy to access and replace when the time comes. Also, the cap snaps in and out of place with ease, revealing a removable drip tray. Although the UV light eliminates the germs and bacteria, it was still nice to have access to the drip tray to clean toothpaste residue and water marks. The Violight also features a non-slip base so you don't have to worry about it slipping off a wet countertop.

The real benefit of the Violight, though, is that it provides peace of mind and good protection from all kinds of nastiness that might be lurking on your trusty bristles. Although toothbrushes don't feel any different after being sanitized by the Violight, it's nice to know that your brushes are clean and germ free. After finding out that the Centers for Disease Control has even stated that toothbrushes can be a significant source of "potentially pathogenic organisms," we were glad the Violight was around. We recommend it for those who want the ultimate in brushing safety. Without a doubt, the Violight sanitizer puts the "clean" back in oral hygiene.
What's in the Box
Violight VS100 Toothbrush Sanitizer, removable drip tray and one UV germicidal light bulb.

Customer Review: I Love This Product

For anyone who wants the absolute in oral sanitization, this is the product for you. It's fast, thorough and so easy to use. If you think this is some kind of gimmick, you should know that dentists use a similar method utilizing UV light to sterilize their tools. This is much better than the G. Terminator. I've had both. After a few months the interior of the GT began to turn a nasty brown. Then the plastic became brittle and cracked. This was caused by the heat during the steam process. To make matters worse, GT recommends using distilled water. If you don't use distilled water, you'll get a cruddy build up of mineral deposits. Yuck! Distilled water? That's just one more cost and inconvenience. The company insisted on a complicated return procedure where I paid the shipping costs. With the Violight there is no heat, just UV light. The Customer Service department at Violight is also first rate. They provide prompt, courteous responses to any questions one might have. Buy this product now. You won't regret it.
