Giorgio Chinaglia (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdʒordʒo kiˈnaʎʎa]; 24 January 1947 – 1 April 2012) was an Italian footballer. He grew up and played his early football in Cardiff, Wales, and began his career with Swansea Town in 1964. He later returned to Italy to play for Massese, Internapoli and S.S. Lazio in 1969. He played international football for Italy, including two appearances at the 1974 FIFA World Cup.
In 1976, Chinaglia left Lazio to sign with the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League. With the Cosmos team that also featured Pelé and Franz Beckenbauer, Chinaglia won four league titles, and retired in 1983 as NASL's all-time leading scorer with 243 goals.[2]
In 2000, Chinaglia was inducted into the United States National Soccer Hall of Fame and was named the greatest player in Lazio's history during the club's centenary celebrations; with 29 goals, he is also the highest scoring Lazio player in international competitions.
Throughout his career, Chinaglia was given the nickname "Long John", a reference to the fictional literary character created by Robert Louis Stevenson, due to his height, physique, and his tenacious, fearless style of play, as well as his eye for goal and his temper.[3] The nickname was also a reference to Chinaglia's resemblance to the similarly large Welsh footballing legend John Charles, and as Chinaglia had also lived in Wales.[4]
Early life and career beginnings in Wales[edit]
Chinaglia was born in Carrara, Tuscany in 1947, but in 1955, he moved to Cardiff, Wales with his father Mario, mother Giovanna and his sister Rita, because of unemployment in Italy following World War II.[5] Because his family was poor, Chinaglia said, "All four of us lived in one room," he says, "My father was an ironworker and it was tough. I used to take the milk left on people's porches and drink it for breakfast."[6]
At age 13, by which time his father had bought an Italian restaurant in Cardiff, Chinaglia was spotted scoring a hat trick for Cardiff Schools, and joined Swansea Town in the Football League Third Division as an apprentice in 1962.[7]
Chinaglia made his senior debut for Swansea in October 1964 at Rotherham United, with his League debut following in February. His final Swans appearance was in March 1966, coming on as a substitute against Brentford.[8]
With Swansea, Chinaglia won the 1965 West Wales Senior Cup, scoring in the 3–0 victory in the final against Llanelli, and represented the Swansea Senior Association Football League in 1964 in a representative match against the Birmingham & District Works Football Association.[9]
Club career in Italy[edit]
Serie C[edit]
In 1966, because of the lack of interest from British clubs and his compulsory Italian military service, Chinaglia, then age 19, and his family moved back to Carrara. He credited the military requirement with getting his career on track, saying, "Otherwise, I'd probably still be in Wales, slogging it out in the mud and drinking ale. The Italian army has a special regiment for soccer players, so all I did in the service was to train all day, and when my club had a game, get a pass."[6]
Chinaglia was banned from playing in Serie A, the top division, for three years because he had played professionally outside of Italy, and his father fixed him up with Massese, a Serie C club in Massa near his home.[10]
The following season, he joined another Serie C club, Internapoli in Naples, where he played two seasons and scored 26 goals in 66 matches.[6]
Chinaglia rose to fame as a prolific goalscorer in Italy's Serie A, playing for S.S. Lazio, scoring 12 goals in his debut Serie A season, including a notable goal against European Cup holders Milan, led by Gianni Rivera. He scored 9 goals in his second season, which was insufficient to prevent Lazio from being relegated to Serie B the following season. Despite Lazio's poor league form that year, Chinaglia won the Coppa delle Alpi with Lazio in 1971, defeating Basel 3-1 in the final. He helped Lazio to gain promotion to Serie A during the following season, leading the club to a second-place finish in Serie B that year, and finishing the season as the leading goalscorer in Serie B, with 21 goals. The following season, Chinaglia scored 10 goals in Serie A, as Lazio narrowly missed out on the title, losing it to Juventus on the final matchday. During the 1973-74 season, he led the top Italian league in scoring, with 24 goals, and he helped his team to the Serie A title that year, scoring the decisive goal from a penalty in a 1-0 win over Foggia. He was named the club's captain during his final season in Italy, concluding his European career with 14 goals. In total, he scored 98 league goals for Lazio in 209 appearances, 77 of which were scored in Serie A, in 175 appearances. He scored 122 goals in 246 appearances in all competitions for Lazio, scoring 13 goals in 28 Coppa Italia appearances, and 9 goals in 11 European matches.[11][12]
National team career[edit]
Chinaglia's play with Lazio earned him a place on head coach Ferruccio Valcareggi's shortlist for the Italy squad in the 1970 FIFA World Cup. He did not make the final 22-man squad, but Valcareggi took him to Mexico for experience.[10] Italy reached the final of the tournament.
In 1971, after Lazio were demoted to Serie B, Chinaglia became the first Italian national team player in modern history to be selected from a second-tier division club.[6] Chinaglia scored on his debut in a friendly match against Bulgaria, on the 21st June 1972, in Sofia.
In 1973, Chinaglia returned to England with the Azzurri to face England in a friendly match. In the 86th minute, Chinaglia beat English defender Bobby Moore and sent in a cross that was tapped in by Fabio Capello, helping Italy to its first win over England at Wembley Stadium.[13]
Along with his team mates Re Cecconi and Wilson, Chinaglia took part in 1974 FIFA World Cup in Germany, although he was used scarcely by Italy manager Ferruccio Valcareggi. With his successor, Fulvio Bernardini, the situation did not improve. Chinaglia became notoriously famous for his strong verbal reaction upon being substituted by Valcareggi for Anastasi during the match against Haïti at the 1974 World Cup.[3][14] In total, he scored 4 goals for Italy in 14 appearances between 1972 and 1975.[15]
Career with the Cosmos[edit]
In 1976, Chinaglia moved to the NASL and the New York Cosmos. While many foreign stars would play in the NASL (Pelé, George Best, Johan Cruyff and Gerd Müller being the best examples), Chinaglia was probably the first great player to leave his original team for the NASL while still in the prime of his career. This is evident with the great success he had in the NASL, scoring 397 goals in outdoor games and 38 goals in 21 indoor games giving him a total of 435 goals in 413 matches during his Cosmos career. He led his team in scoring for (13) straight seasons, 6 at Lazio and 7 at the Cosmos. Chinaglia scored 2 or more goals 54 times for the Cosmos, of which 14 were playoff games. He scored 3 or more goals in a game 16 times, 5 in the playoffs. He scored 7 goals in a playoff game vs. the Tulsa Roughnecks in 1980 as well as 7 goals in an indoor game vs. the Chicago Sting on 8 December 1981. Chinaglia also netted 8 goals in an exhibition game. Chinaglia won the NASL Most Valuable Player Award in 1981.[16]
Chinaglia scored 49 goals in 41 playoff games for the Cosmos for his career and scored 5 goals in 5 Soccer Bowls, 3 of which were game winners (1977, 1978, and 1982).
1980 was Chinaglia's greatest year, scoring 76 goals in 66 matches that year. 50 goals were scored during the NASL regular season and playoffs (32 goals in 32 regular season games and 18 goals in 7 playoff games). The NASL regular season record for most goals is also held by Chinaglia with 34 goals in 1978.
In December 1981, Chinaglia decided to give indoor soccer a try, and in his first game against the Chicago Sting, he set an individual all-time NASL indoor record for most goals in a single match, by netting 7.
In 2000 he was inducted into the U.S.A. National Soccer Hall of Fame. He also became a close associate of Warner Brothers president Steve Ross, part-owner of the franchise, and was known to thoroughly enjoy the cultural diversions that New York provided.[17]
Style of play[edit]
Regarded as one of the top Italian strikers of his generation, Chinaglia was a large, strong, fast, and powerful player, with a keen eye for goal.[18] Often described as one of the first true old fashioned centre-forwards in Italy, his physical, determined, and opportunistic style of play was initially seen as unorthodox, but he developed into a prominent and prolific goalscorer.[4] Chinaglia was known for his powerful and accurate shot and finishing ability, both inside and outside the area,[19] as well as his athletic and acrobatic ability in the air.[12] Although he was not initially regarded as the most talented or technically gifted player,[20] he developed his skill and control with time, showing great technical improvements and finesse later on in his career, which also led him to dribble with the ball at speed during counterattacks on occasion.[11][12] He was also an accurate penalty taker.[12]
In addition to his footballing attributes, Chinaglia was a confident, charismatic and highly influential player on the pitch, due to his flamboyant, outspoken, eccentric, and extroverted personality, as well as his unique sense of humour with his team-mates, which led him to become one of the first true footballing stars. He was also known for his leadership throughout his career,[19] in particular during his time at Lazio.[11] However, despite his prolific goalscoring record, he was criticised at times for being selfish, arrogant, and for his work-rate.[23] Although he was popular with fans and team-mates, he also had a controversial, brash, and rebellious character, and an aggressive temper at times, which led to arguments and altercations with some of his managers and team-mates throughout his career.[4][24] He also drew negative attention to himself in the press due to his hedonistic lifestyle,[23] as well as certain legal problems throughout his career, and accusations of criminal activity.[4][24]
Later life[edit]
At the time of his death, Chinaglia was co-hosting a daily soccer talk show, The Football Show, from 0700 to 0900 on Sirius Satellite Radio.[25]
In 1979, Chinaglia became a naturalized American citizen, telling New York Times reporter Diane Ackerman that he proudly kept his citizenship papers in his locker next to his bottle of Chivas Regal.[26]
Giorgio always had a soft spot for children who had it difficult. During his life he did many small and large things for children. Therefore, the executors of Giorgio's estate, his 3 children, Cynthia, Giorgio Jr., and Stephanie have incorporated the Giorgio Chinaglia Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to globally improving soccer/football programmes for children with disabilities. www.giorgiochinagliafoundation.org

OXFORD, Miss. -- Sen. John McCain may or may not have broken the bailout bill -- and surely he didn't do so all by himself.
But he owns it now.
In the battle over perceptions, it really is this simple: There was a deal before McCain came back to Washington. There was not a deal by the time the evening ended. And now there might not be a bill -- or a first presidential debate Friday in Mississippi.
Holding that very heavy bag are McCain and his GOP colleagues in Congress. Steve Schmidt gets his wish: McCain is in the middle of the action -- amid friendly fire, political gamesmanship, competing loyalties, reelection fights, and a White House with no juice left.
(And, oddly, the whole distraction has an upside for Team McCain: We're not talking about Gov. Sarah Palin, whose slow media rollout is maybe not going slow enough.)
"Democrats immediately blamed McCain for disrupting the effort at compromise, saying his decision to suspend his campaign and return to Washington shifted the klieg lights of the White House contest to the tense and delicate congressional negotiations," Michael D. Shear and Jonathan Weisman write in The Washington Post.
Oh yes, the debate.
We know that at least half of this strange non-team that saw the bailout bill go from done deal to just plain done Thursday at the White House will be making the trip to Ole Miss.
Sen. Barack Obama's A team is already in Oxford, Miss., for a debate that would be fraught with symbolism and historical significance even if its very existence wasn't still in doubt.
"Come hell or high water, we're going to Oxford," an Obama press aide said late Thursday, per ABC's Sunlen Miller.
ABC's George Stephanopoulos: "If McCain fails to show up, officials are mulling turning the first presidential debate into a town hall meeting where the Democratic presidential candidate takes questions from the audience and from the debate moderator PBS's Jim Lehrer."
We don't know whether McCain, having staked the near-term fate of his campaign to a bailout bill that members of his party absolutely loathe (and that even he seems unsure about whether he should embrace), will be making the trip. The McCain traveling press pool is assembling at 8:30 am ET, "just in case" they have to leave Washington quickly, per ABC's Bret Hovell.
This may all get worked out in plenty of time for McCain to get his moment. Maybe he will be cast as the deal's savior. Maybe this thing is such a bear that he shouldn't be seen as saving it -- not in its current form. Maybe the debate goes off as scheduled and this will all be a footnote.
The framework agreed to between the White House, Senate Democrats, Senate Republicans, and House Democrats remains in place -- and while it's too late to squeeze in a vote before Friday night, a deal could still come together, Stephanopoulos reported on "Good Morning America" Friday.
Regarding McCain's participation in Oxford: "It's way up in the air right now."
Is this what McCain bargained for?

If you think political ads on TV this year are more negative than ever, here's some data that back up your observation.
Tales from the Trail
Reuters/Ipsos poll: 52 pct don't think Obama will be re-elected
President Barack Obama is not up for re-election this week, but the outcome of congressional elections will be seen as a referendum on his policies.
Twitter opinion analysis shows even split between parties
Social media hasn't been around long enough for pundits to determine how accurately it reflects the mood of a nation, but Democrats grasping for positive news might take hope from a shift in the tone on Twitter.
Meek stays in Florida Senate race despite Clinton overtures
This much is clear. Democrat Kendrick Meek is not dropping out of Florida's three-way Senate race.
Palin for President? Someone's gotta do it
It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it. And if no one else wants to do it, Sarah Palin says she would step in.
"Obamacare" could help Democrats in 2012
Republicans are aiming their guns at health reform as they campaign to win midterm control of Congress on Tuesday, and many Democrats are ducking the issue.
When politics feels like a bad flight
He sounded like someone bombarded by too many election ads.
"I call it the perfect storm of bad manners," Steven Slater told CNN's Larry King. "I was angry at all of it."
Washington Extra – Swallows and Democrats
In the words of Aristotle: "one swallow does not a summer make, nor one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy."
O'Donnell credits prayer for campaign boost
Republicans may be abandoning Christine O'Donnell's U.S. Senate campaign. But she still has friends in high places — really high places.
No more Mr. Nice Guy, Republican sets sights on Obama's energy czar
Michigan Republican Fred Upton is known as a moderate who disappointed many conservatives by voting with the Democratic majority on some major issues including the taxpayer bailout of U.S. automobile manufacturers.

Why Labour should delay its reshuffle until after the conference season [1]
A late reshuffle will turn the conference into a beauty parade and avoid the danger of disgruntled sacked ministers roaming the bars.
A late reshuffle will turn the conference into a beauty parade and avoid the danger of disgruntled sacked ministers roaming the bars.
by George Eaton [2] Published
After a brief flurry of rumours [3] on Wednesday evening, another week has ended without the long-awaited Labour reshuffle taking place. It's now likely that it won't take place until after the conference season - and wisely so.
Delaying the reshuffle until October has the benefit of turning Labour's Brighton gathering into a beauty parade, with every current and would-be shadow minister doing their best to impress, and avoiding the risk of disgruntled former ministers roaming the conference bars.
Politically speaking, next week will be dominated by the TUC Congress, which Ed Miliband is addressing on Tuesday, and the run-up to Lib Dem conference (on which note, look out for two major interventions in next week's NS).
The former in particular is good reason for Labour to delay. A reshuffle immediately after the trade union gathering would make it easy for the Tories to pin any sackings on Len McCluskey and co. When I interviewed [4] McCluskey earlier this year, in a now famous intervention, he suggested that Douglas Alexander, Liam Byrne and Jim Murphy - "the Blairites" - should be ignored or dismissed.
Since David Cameron often gives the appearance of believing that every decision in Labour is taken by McCluskey, I doubt Miliband will allow this to affect his decisions too much. But it would still be politically wise to put some distance between the two.

Career Summary
Dr Sharyn Hunter is a lecturer at the School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Newcastle, Australia. Sharyn has a passionate interest in the preparation of student nurses for nursing older people. She has received awards for teaching into the undergraduate nursing program from the University of Newcastle and nationally by Australian Learning and Teaching Council with a Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning. She has recently published an undergraduate textbook for nurses about healthy ageing. Sharyn's research interests include, the development of health professionals regarding the care of older people and the of clinical reasoning. She has published and presented papers nationally and internationally in these areas. Research Expertise
Dr Hunter has experience in quantitative and qualitative research methods. She has conducted and supervised studies about nurse's practice development, clinical reasoning development, tertiary education and simulation. PhD Thesis: Title: The professional development of RN in Residential Aged Care The use of multiple case study approach allowed for the exploration of the real-life context of registered nurses' (RNs) practices in residential aged care (RAC). Previously, the boundaries between the phenomenon of aged care nursing practices and the management of aged care facilities were clear. This study provided evidence of the blurring of these boundaries with respect to designations of nurses and their respective functions. The multiple sources of data provided evidence of recurring patterns of behaviours, which have contributed to the development of a model to reflect the changes of registered nurses' practice in residential aged care. A series of expressions of the model demonstrates the relationships between the study findings and other research and available information. This model addresses this need for a strategic approach to the ongoing professional development of RNs who work in RAC. A the presence of RNs in aged care is critical, there is a need to be proactive, feasible, and realistic in the approach to staff development in the contexts in which aged care is delivered. RAC now provides the opportunity for RNs to practise at an advanced level; to use and develop a range of sophisticated skills in critical thinking, problem solving and reflective practice to deliver the best possible care to residents. Major grants: Dr Hunter has been involved in a number of University of Newcastle funded projects about clinical reasoning and peer review of teaching. She was member of a team funded by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council to explore simulation and clinical reasoning in undergraduate nurses. Other projects: Dr Hunter is currently supervising research higher degree candidates studies on acute care and older people, and nursing education. She is also a member of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Evidence Synthesis Group and has trained to undertake systematic reviews for JBI.
Teaching Expertise
Teaching Portfolio Current Role (Lecturer) Teaching Responsibilities Course coordinator for in an undergraduate couse about the health and illness of the older person across both semesters of the academic year. This course focuses on developing competencies in undergraduate nurses about nursing older people across different health contexts. I also lecture and conduct tutorials. Teaching Goals and Philosophy In January 2007, I became involved in teaching and coordinating an undergraduate second year core course in the BN program focused on nursing older people. Prior to my academic role, as a senior clinician working in aged care, I facilitated the change of 'old' nursing roles in residential and community aged care services. My doctoral studies were also in this area. My research and clinical expertise have been recognised nationally and internationally. I have been recognised for my expectional role as a tertiary teacher in relation to this course. My approach transformed students' attitudes towards nursing older people and contributed to their professional development. I was ( and continure to) positively influence nursing students' attitudes towards caring for older people and thus contribute to students' professionalism by ensuring their 'work readiness'for nursing older people. I have received 2 awards for my contribution to student learning in this course: 2008 Vice Chancellors Award for Teaching: Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning: and 2010 Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC): Citations for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning. Student Feedback about my teaching The quantitative results are continually positive with scores above 4.5/5 for all items,especially the teacher was enthusiastic, motivates me to extend my learning, and helped me understand the importance of the content to my program.The qualitative comments focus on my enthusiasm for aged care; how I was inspiring; and encouraging them to want to learn more. The students' comments link my passion and expertise to their engagement and enjoyment. I also "…broadened my (the student's) idea about aged care" ) and "The scenario based learning in tutorials was perfect for this course…" . All comments were communicated via email. These comments demonstrate that students in this course are being transformed and also describe how this change impacts on their professionalism. I felt that I learnt a great deal about aged care from you and the way you made the tutorials interesting. Your enthusiasm and passion for the subject came across so very well and this also helped keep the subject interesting. I feel that I am able to take so much to work with me now and also educate others about the very important aspect of aged care…. Learning the registered nurses responsibilities and what I will be able to bring to me place of employment once I am registered gives me hope that in the future aged care will improve out of sight!....You really are an inspiration to me ….Your delivery of the subject always came across with such a great insight and realism that made learning so worth while. I would also like to thank-you so very much for making our tutorials so understandable and interesting. I know I'm not the only one commenting on how you helped us "get it". Having you teach aged care to me over the last 7 weeks has put the wind back in my sails as far as working with the elderly go and I must admit it is wonderful to see someone so passionate about the elderly and their "individual" care .You have been exceptional and your enthusiasm is second to none... Thankyou from myself and also in advance from the elderly I will be caring for with a brighter and renewed sense of care. On behalf of all the students in tut group X, and indeed on my personal behalf, I'd like to sincerely thank you for all your wonderful guidance and direction you have provided throughout this semester. You kept us interested and engaged, and inspired most of us

Background: The importance of developing critical thinking skills in preregistration nursing students is recognized worldwide. Yet, there has been limited exploration of how students' critical thinking skill scores on entry to pre-registration nursing education influence their academic and clinical performance and progression. Aim: The aim of this study was to: i) describe entry and exit critical thinking scores of nursing students enrolled in a three year bachelor of nursing program in Australia in comparison to norm scores; ii) explore entry critical thinking scores in relation to demographic characteristics, students' performance and progression. Method: This longitudinal correlational study used the Health Sciences Reasoning Test (HSRT) to measure critical thinking skills in a sample (. n=. 134) of students, at entry and exit (three years later). A one sample t-test was used to determine if differences existed between matched student critical thinking scores between entry and exit points. Academic performance, clinical performance and progression data were collected and correlations with entry critical thinking scores were examined. Results: There was a significant relationship between critical thinking scores, academic performance and students' risk of failing, especially in the first semester of study. Critical thinking scores were predictive of program completion within three years. The increase in critical thinking scores from entry to exit was significant for the 28 students measured. In comparison to norm scores, entry level critical thinking scores were significantly lower, but exit scores were comparable. Critical thinking scores had no significant relationship to clinical performance. Conclusion: Entry critical thinking scores significantly correlate to academic performance and predict students risk of course failure and ability to complete a nursing degree in three years. Students' critical thinking scores are an important determinant of their success and as such can inform curriculum development and selection strategies.

Aim: This study investigated the critical thinking skills among undergraduate nursing students in Australia to obtain a profile and determine demographic predictors of critical thinking. Background: There is universal agreement that being a critical thinker is an outcome requirement for many accreditation and registering nursing bodies. Most studies provide descriptive statistical information about critical thinking skills while some have studied the changes in critical thinking after an intervention. Limited research about factors that predict critical thinking skills is available. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using convenience sampling. Two hundred and sixty-nine students were recruited across three years of an undergraduate programme in 2009. Most students' age ranged from under 20 to 34. years (58%), 87% were female, 91% were Australian and 23% of first and second year students had nursing associated experience external to the university. Data about critical thinking skills were collected via the Health Science Reasoning Test (HSRT). Linear regression analysis investigated the predictors of nursing students' critical thinking skills. Results: The students in third year had a profile of critical thinking skills comparable with HSRT norms. Year of study predicted higher critical thinking scores for all domains (p<. 0.001) except the subscale, analysis. Nationality predicted higher scores for total CT skill scores (p<. 0.001) and subscales, inductive (p=0.001) and deductive reasoning (p=0.001). Nursing associated experience predicted higher scores for the subscale, analysis (p<. 0.001). Age and gender were not predictive. However, these demographic predictors only accounted for a small variance obtained for the domains of CT skills. Conclusion: An understanding of factors that predict nursing students' CT skills is required. Despite this study finding a number of significant predictors of nursing students' CT skills, there are others yet to be understood. Future research is recommended exploring explicit CT instructional approaches and nursing students' CT skills. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Background: Research conducted primarily with psychology and medical students has highlighted that personal qualities play an important role in students' academic performance. In nursing there has been limited investigation of the relationship between personal qualities and performance. Yet, reports of student incivility and a lack of compassion have prompted appeals to integrate the assessment of personal qualities into pre-registration nursing student selection. Before this can be done research is needed to explore the influence of students' personal qualities on programme performance and progression. Aim: This study explores the relationships between students' personal qualities and their academic and clinical performance, behaviours and progression through a pre-registration nursing programme in Australia. Method: This longitudinal descriptive correlational study was undertaken with a sample of Australian pre-registration nursing students (n=138). Students' personal qualities were assessed using three personal qualities assessment (PQA) instruments. Outcome measures included grades in nursing theory and clinical courses, yearly grade point average, final clinical competency, progression (completion), class attendance and levels of life event stress. Results: Significant correlations were found between academic performance and PQA scores for self-control, resilience and traits of aloofness, confidence and involvement. Final clinical competence was predicted by confidence and self-control scores. Students with higher empathy had higher levels of life event stress in their first year and class attendance had a positive correlation with self-control. Completing the programme in three years was weakly predicted by the measure of resilience. No difference was noted between extreme or non-extreme scorers on the PQA scales with respect to performance or progression. Conclusion: This sample of students' personal qualities was found to influence their academic and clinical performance and their ability to complete a pre-registration programme in three years. However, further research is required with larger cohorts to confirm the use of personal qualities assessment during selection. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

How is it going? What kind are you using?
anyone try a sippy cup yet?
I have used the Nuby ones, it was hilarious the first day we tried it. I made the mistake of not putting a bib on him because I didn't think I needed one. I think that more of the milk got on his shirt then in his tummy, before he figured it out. I wish I had had the video set up for that one because the faces he made were so funny. But he figured it out by the end, now he needs to figure out that he can hold them.
Lucky to be married to Tim (who is lovely!) and we have our perfect son Ethan (1-21-09) �and our beautiful daughter Katie (9-24-10)
Yes! We are using the Nuby ones from Wal-Mart that cost like $1.50. She didn't really like it the first time, but the second time, she grabbed on and used it well. It took her longer to drink the milk than a regular bottle (not sure why), but she finished it all. I'm very proud!!
I bought a Playtex one with handles. It has a soft spout like a bottle nipple and has a little plastic piece on the inside so you can control the flow as they grow.
Alexis, wife to Steven, and mama to Ayden Stacy (1.5.09) ♥ Nolan Ryan (6.6.12)
Yes, we have been using the Playtex ones with the handles on each side. She is doing better each time. She can hold them fine and get them to her mouth, but she doesn't quite get the tipping up part by herself yet.
Melissa ~ Mommy to Aubrey ~Jan. 5, 2009
We have the Nuby and Playtex ones (both with handles). I put a few ounces of water in them on really hot days (like yesterday at the beach). A lot of the water goes down his chest, but that helps cool him off too. It's quite entertaining to watch!
Momma to 2 perfect little boys: M and J
We haven't started using them yet, but I was wondering if anyone had started using the kind with a built in straw like this one:
I know my SIL used these and she said they were better than a regular sippy cup because you're teaching them to use a straw instead and it's easier to wean them from later. I'm not sure if she started with this first or not, but I'm pretty sure these are the ones I'm going to get when he's ready to start drinking from a sippy :)
Wife to Craig ? 4-08 ?
Mommy to Vinny �? 1-09 ? and Lucas ? 12-10 ?
Why are you using sippy cups right now? Just curious. And no, I'm not...he's still on the bottle.
Married to David and Mama to Aries Tremaine 12.30.99, Natalya Nikiea 1.24.04, and Brayden Matthew 1.8.09
Yes she gets a sippy cup with half infant apple juice and half water every now and then when she eats her cereal and baby food. She drinks her formula from a bottle though. It doesn't hurt to let them learn to use a cup right now. My lo LOVES to chew on the little spout part.
BTW- we use Nuby cups.
Christian mommy to my loves Lily 6/07 & Gaby 1/09, Maggie 5/10 & Tate 4/12! I love my family!
We have started using sippy cups too. We have only tried the Playtex ones with the handles. My LO figured it out on the first try. I just give him water in it from time to time - on hot days after our Stroller Strides class or after he eats his cereal & baby food to clean out his mouth. Our ped told us at his 4mo check up to start giving him a little bit of water when he was out on hot days. I just decided to try it in the sippy cup and he really liked it. He can hold the handles and get it to his mouth, but can't tip it up yet.
mom to Lucas 1/28/09
We use the NUK with the handles for a little juice mixed with water. he took right to it. He tilts it himself but I have him leaned back a little so I am sure that helps him.
amandad80, you want to start getting them used to a sippy cup if you plan on weaning him from the bottle at a year. That is if you are giving juice or water yet. You don't want to put juice in a bottle. The sweet taste will make them more willing to TRY the sippy cup and the will be more willing to take milk at a year from a sippy.
insert all of the crunchy acronymns here ;)

Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
For 2010, the grooves are removed from the Sebring's hood, while new wheels and instrument panel gauge cluster mark the other changes for 2010.
Dark Slate Grey interior color and a new acoustic insulation package mark the major changes for the 2009 Sebring. All models receive luxury floor mats, an air filtration system, four-wheel anti-lock brakes (ABS) and sunglass holder, while Touring and Limited trims receive more standard equipment.
With interesting features like the hard drive-based MyGIG infotainment center, rear-seat DVD system and heated/cooled cupholder, the Sebring raises the bar on the level of in-cabin features we can expect in a mid-size sedan.
Accounting for more than one in every four passenger cars sold, the mid-size sedan market remains the most popular in the country. Currently, the segment consists of the class leaders, the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, and a host of "category alternatives," some of which are more compelling than others. Lately, though, it seems almost every new or redesigned entry shows up to the party with a combination of attributes attractive enough to merit consideration. Chrysler's entry, the Sebring Sedan, has not lived up to expectations, partly due to stiff domestic competition from both the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Malibu, but also because of perceived weaknesses in the areas of interior quality and engine noise, both of which Chrysler addressed in 2009.

Gallery: Hooters Girls Donate Pantyhose to Clean Up the Gulf Oil Spill
Hooters Girls have really big hearts, which is why they are collecting all of their used and torn pantyhose and donating them to help clean up the Gulf Oil Spill. Their "Project Pantyhose" has a goal of collecting more than 100,000 pairs of pantyhose, which will then be donated to Matter of Trust and Indigo Oceanic, who will use them to make booms to collect oil. The project is expected to create 15 miles worth of booms and has the potential to soak up 1 million gallons of oil over the lifetime of the Hooter's booms. We think the company should change their motto to "Give a hoot, don't pollute"!

Please! Dim…Give me a break!! I\'m all for being anti0greed, but, come on! They are donating their used pantyhiose to help clean up the oil!! If that helps…GREAT!! Why would anyone have a problem with that? There is a point where one can become too cynical! Pantyhose makes their legs look great…then, whe
n they have runs in them or whatever, they donate them to help clean up the oil spill. Wow!! What a crime!!
June 18, 2010 at 4:18 pm
I own a salon that is participating in this cause…if the hair I sweep up and throw away could benefit the oil spill, why not collect it? Why not participate in a state wide cut-a-thon to help raise money? Yes of course I would love to get new business from partipating but it is not a selfish thing…If a large restaurant chain like Hooters participates it will also help awareness.
June 16, 2010 at 12:07 pm
What do you care? Atleast they are donating something and that is ALL that matters!
June 14, 2010 at 1:08 pm
I think it's really sad to see companies trying to capatalize on tradgedy. of course i would expect nothing less from a company like Hooters that is only skin deep and has no substance.
next we'll see them come out with a pin up calender under the pretence of "donating the proceeds".

An output signal is generated only when there is an interaction force on the probe. In other words, transient interaction forces can be measured during each tap of the tip with high resolution and without any background signal.
In the February 27 issue of the journal Nanotechnology, the researchers described using the FIRAT probe to characterize the elasticity, surface energy and adhesion hysteresis of three polymers and a silicon sample. The quantitative results were mapped in addition to topography.
FIRAT probes made of dielectric materials with embedded actuation electrodes have also been designed for operation in liquids. The design of these membrane-based probes also makes them relatively easy to arrange in arrays in which each probe can move independently. One application of such an array is fast parallel measurements of forces between biological molecules.
In collaboration with Cheng Zhu, Regents Professor in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, Degertekin is using the probe to measure the force between two interacting biological molecules and unbinding forces between two molecules.
By testing different molecules and buffer solutions, researchers can determine the probability of molecule adhesion, a process that requires many repetitive measurements. This has implications in drug discovery, where determining how frequently certain soft biological molecules adhere to each other is important.
Rather than moving a single cantilever up and down a thousand times, we have developed a membrane that would allow parallel measurements of molecules to get thousands of measurements at one time, said Degertekin.
This new technique was described in the February 2007 issue of the journal Nanotechnology. For different applications, Degertekin can adjust the stiffness of the membranes.

Tips for dusting off and preparing for spring cycling
My mountain bike, the Great Emasculator, sits in the garage nearly 5 months every year, where it appears to be a favorite trysting place for stinkbugs.
But every spring, credibility demands I climb aboard the Emasculator and pedal it until my crotch is as numb as a potato. Even though this only takes about 5 minutes, most initial vernal rides don't last that long, because I have failed to observe several simple steps all bicyclists should follow before their first spring pedal.
So I ride 50 feet, and the chain sucks itself into a tight ball of rusted metal. Or I pedal for a block and my front tire blows flatter than a George Foreman griddle.
Fortunately, experts on bicycle maintenance can help you avoid similar problems. My annual springtime ritual is to call my good friend, Jim Drannan, the Gnarly Dude.
Years ago, the Dude traveled to Oregon to attend a renowned bicycle maintenance school, where he became a certified bike mechanic. In previous springs he's helped me get the Emasculator in shape for the pathetically few times I ride it every year.
So I asked him to provide his sage advice on how to get a bicycle ready for the seasons of spinning wheels and swallowing bugs (I'm something of a mouth breather — maybe you are smart enough to breathe through your nose when you pedal.).
But the Dude politely declined. He figured it's been too long since he took a bike maintenance refresher course, and he didn't want to give any bad advice.
He did refer me to a number of excellent websites that offer plenty of illustrated instructions on how to get your bike in shape for spring and summer riding. You can Google "spring bike tune up," or check the links below.
Some of the most basic tune up advice comes from the health and fitness site, www.sparkpeople.com, where you'll find an article entitled "7 steps to tune up your bike for spring." The article cites Bicycle Magazine's "Complete Guide to Bicycle Maintenance and Repair: For Road and Mountain Bikes."
The 7 steps:
Clean your bike. Using a biodegradable cleaner, a towel and old toothbrush, wash and clean everything on the bike, including frame, chain, chain rings, cassette, derailleurs, pedals, brakes and seat. Remove the seat post and clean it, then add a small amount of bicycle grease before replacing it.
Inspect the brake system. Check the brake pads (or calipers on disc brakes) to assure the pads are wearing evenly. Ridges or uneven wear indicate you may need to have your brakes adjusted. Throughout the article, the authors advise you to take your bike to a shop where a mechanic can perform work you're not comfortable doing yourself.
Replace brake pads if necessary, then squeeze the brake levers while watching the pads engage the wheel rim. They should touch at the same time and if adjustment is necessary, use the brake arm tension screw on one of the brake arms near the tire.
Slack on the brake cable can be taken out by adjusting the barrel adjuster at the end of the brake lever.
Check your wheels. Inspect wheel rims for dents or scrapes, then lift one wheel off the ground and spin it to check for wobble. Repeat for the other wheel.
Sometimes the brake pads will rub when the spinning wheel wobbles, indicating that the wheel isn't true or the quick-release mechanism isn't tight enough. Unless you know what you're doing, adjusting the spokes should be left to a mechanic.
Check the pedals, chain, chainring, derailleur and rear wheel cassette. Lift the rear wheel or put the bike on a stand and shift through all the gears. Shifting should be smooth and easy through all gears.
Check your tires and make certain they are inflated to the proper pressure. Inspect the tread for uneven wear and look along the sidewalls for damage or wear from misaligned brake pads.
Check all the cables. Brake and shifter cables should be clean and free of crimps, without slack. Rubber cable housings should be clean and without cracks. Depending upon how far you ride each year, cables generally need replacement every two to five years.
Lubricate moving parts on the bike. Most importantly, lubricate the chain with a product such as Tri-Flow, which doesn't hold dirt as much as some other products. Also lubricate moving parts on the derailleur, brake lever pivot points and exposed cables. Wipe the excess lubricant off with a clean, dry rag, paying special attention to the chain.
Before riding off into the sunset, pick your bike up about 5 inches and drop it, listening for any loose parts or rattles. Test the brakes, check tire pressure, and make sure the quick-release mechanisms are tight.

Prepare to Install the Switch
Decide where you want to place the switch. Find a flat horizontal surface such as a table, desk or shelf. You can use wall-mounting screws (not provided) to hang the switch in an open space on a wall.
Make sure the selected location is:
• Not in direct sunlight or near a heater or heating vent.
• Not cluttered or crowded. There should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear space on all sides of the switch.
• Well ventilated (especially if it is in a closet).
Install the Switch and Connect the Other Devices:
1. Place the switch on a flat surface or hook onto the screws.
2. For each device, insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the port in the device and insert the other end into one of the Ethernet ports on the switch.
3. Connect the power adapter cord into the back of the switch and then plug the adapter into a power source (such as a wall socket or power strip).
4. Check the LEDs to verify that the equipment is connected correctly.
• The Power LED is lit.
• Each RJ-45 jack has 2 LEDs. For each jack that is connected to a powered device, the Link LED is lit, and it flashes when activity occurs. If the connection is 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, one LED lights up. If the connection is 1000 Mbps, both LEDs light up.
Note: If any light does not operate as indicated, go to the Troubleshooting section.
1.The Power light is not lit
The switch has no power.
• Make sure that the power cord is correctly connected to the switch.
• Make sure that the power adapter is connected to a functioning power outlet. If it is in a power strip, make sure that the power strip is turned on. If the socket is controlled by a light switch, make sure that the switch is in the on position.
• Make sure you that are using the NETGEAR power adapter supplied with your switch.
2.The Port number light is not lit for a connected device or stays on continuously.
There is a hardware connection problem.
• Make sure that the cable connectors are securely plugged in at the switch and the device.
• Make sure that the connected device is turned on.
• If the Ethernet cable is connected to a NIC or other Ethernet adapter, make sure that the card or adapter is installed correctly and is working.
• Make sure that the cable is less than 328 feet (100 meters).
