PNY 8GB Optima Pro Attaché External USB 2.0 Flash Drive - P-FD8GBATT03-EF - Great buy!
Learn more about PNY 8GB Optima Pro Attaché External USB 2.0 Flash Drive:
Optima Pro Attaché USB 2.0 Flash Drive was designed with Windows Vista in mind, and works in conjunction with new SuperFetch (intelligent caching) to enhance system performance for quicker startup and windows multi-tasking. You can get a boost in system responsiveness without upgrading internal components (such as processors or RAM). You can define the amount of storage you want to allocate toward ReadyBoost, and how much you want to use for traditional storage, so Optima Pro Attaché still makes a great solution to capture, store, and share digital images, music, games and documents.
Customer Reviews of PNY 8GB Optima Pro Attaché External USB 2.0 Flash Drive
Readyboost and large capacity9/15/2008
Works well. Running readyboost with 4Gb on my Vista system. Using the other 4Gb for backup.
More Than You Need for ReadyBoost9/7/2008
I purchased this for use as a ReadyBoost drive for Vista. It tests as fast enough, so ReadyBoost is available on this device. The only problem is that you can only use 4GB for ReadyBoost. I can't remove this USB drive while using it for ReadyBoost, so there isn't any need for the other 4GB on the drive. I have ordered a new 4GB drive. I will swap them and use the 8GB drive for transfers and storage. I could have purchased a cheaper 8GB drive if I didn't need one that was ReadyBoost capable.
Super PNY 8GB8/19/2008
Another great product from Buy.com. Super Flash Drive. This is my 3rd PNY and they have all been great. Not one problem and always easy to use. Works great with both XP and Vista. It holds a mountain of files, pics and music. I am going to use this flash drive to back-up everything of importance on my HP and then reformat it back to its factory state.
Works great6/28/2008
No complaints at all - works great
small size, huge storage6/20/2008
This is great, everyone needs a jump drive, but this is also serving as backup for some of my other files. With all the room, it's going to take a some time to actually fill it up. It fast enough too.
What I needed5/28/2008
If you've ever had a computer crash on you and you lost all of your music or pics then you know how handy this can be. Now I have all my important stuff saved on here and that can't happen again.
Good value but...5/28/2008
I received this drive promptly from Buy.com and have been using it for a while. While it was a good value, Vista would not initially use it for ReadyBoost. ... I just now checked it again, and now Visa has set up 4GB for ReadyBoost. If I see any problems later, I will re-review(?) this item.
PNY 8GB Optima Pro Attache Flash Drive5/26/2008
Hard case, light, small and hardy, about average speed. Very good buy for the money.
8GB USB Flash Drive5/20/2008
very fast compared to some other flash drives. Can't beat it for the price.
Can't beat the size of the memory for the price.
Small in size, but large in capacity5/19/2008
I was pleased when I saw that the price had come down on an 8 gb thumb drive, especially since it was PNY. Since I've had it, I've had a problem. When I plug it into an empty USP port, sometimes it doesn't install the upload information. I'll pull it out and replace it, sometimes several time, finally it work. This not only happens on my pc, but on my laptop also. Sometimes I can just change ports when this happens. Later, I can come back to a port that I was having problems with, and it will work the first time. Other than that, the information is never lost, and I can transport a large presentation on it.
Excellent product, excellent price5/18/2008
Even at $32.00, this is totally worth it. The original Attache drives allowed the plastic to come off, which I liked, but this drive is thinner all around, so it can still get in to thin spaces (which is sometimes required). Big plus? The cap slides on to the back, so it doesn't get lost. Absolutely recommend.
Great Buy5/18/2008
Less than $35 for 8GB of data to carry around with you = Great Buy. I am really pleased with the capacity, the looks and the price.
Good Deal5/18/2008
So far this drive has been very good.

Chronic pain, Pain Medications during pregnancy
Comments (8)
I took pain medication with my last pregnancy. I was on it around the clock for 4 months I believe. I took the minimum dose I could to curb the pain which was 5mg of percocet twice a day if I remember correctly. I was still in horrific pain with that amount, but that at least made it bearable. As far as dependency goes... my daughter was not treated for dependency and did not show any withdrawal symptoms. I cannot validate there were none as she obviously cannot speak, but the doctors/nurses nor I saw any demonstrated. They were fully aware of my medication history and were watching for any signs. Hope that helps.
I didnt have any problems with my daughter and my doctors both times have told me that narcotic pain medicine is among the least dangerous for baby. I don't like it and only take them if I really need it.There are a lot of people in this boat (I posted about this a couple months ago) this board had quite a few mommies with chronic pain who are taking narcotic medications.

Nike releases new commercial featuring Rory McIlroy
More Golf: Masters | Leaderboard | Rankings | Expert Picks | Equipment
Nike released a new commercial Thursday featuring Rory McIlroy, Kyle Stanley, Nick Watney, Suzann Pettersen and Paul Casey juggling a golf ball with their wedges.
At one point Casey starts juggling it like it's a soccer ball, too.
I'm normally a big fan of Nike commercials but this one lacked something. I kept waiting for Tiger Woods to step out of the shadows and crush a 200-yard 9-iron or something like that.
Instead the commercial just ... ended.
I'll forgive Nike, because it's already made some classics this year, but this one wasn't its best work.

Combine preview: Top performances, player projections
By Chad Reuter
NFLDraftScout.com Senior Analyst
Feb. 17, 2011
The NFL Scouting Combine begins Feb. 24 and regardless of what most evaluators suggest, the 329 prospects invited have a chance to boost or bust their final draft rating.
NFL coaches and scouts insist every year leading into the combine that the test results from the week-long event -- an all-encompassing interview process and pseudo track meet in Indianapolis for hundreds of pro football hopefuls -- are wildly overrated by media and fans.
The opinion of pro evaluators is, the player is a known commodity with a known draft value entering the combine and he won't move up or down any team's draft board based on a performance given in shorts and a t-shirt. But scouts now concede that combine and Pro Day results can be used as a tiebreaker of sorts when teams are choosing between prospects who are otherwise similar in size, ability, college performance, health history and character. Athletic testing, in essence, can move players to one side of the "bubble" or the other.
NFLDraftScout.com examines the players who have made the most of their combine invitation since 2000, along with a player at each position who could make a similar move in the 2011 draft based on his performance in Indianapolis.
Note that before 2006, many of the top players did not fully participate in combine workouts. The theory was they were more concerned that it might hurt their draft status -- many times on the advice of their agents, not because they were not willing to run -- and instead opted to work out in the comfortable environs offered at an on-campus workout or Pro Day.
Five years ago, when the event was first televised live, most every player decided running the 40 and other at least partially participating in on-field drills was in their best interest.
Worth noting: Many first-round picks prior to 2000 didn't work out in Indianapolis, leading to many past second-round picks being listed in the notable performers category below.
Top combine performances
2010 (Offensive tackle)
OT Trent Williams
No. 4 overall, Redskins
Maryland's Bruce Campbell received most of the headlines with his exceptional combine (4.75 40, 7.58 three-cone, 4.69 short shuttle at 6-feet-6, 314) but his immaturity and average play on the field pushed Campbell to the fourth round. Williams' workout was nearly as good -- (4.81, 7.64, 4.63, 34.5-inch vertical -- and his superior on-field performance at Rutgers made him the first tackle drafted.
Tyron Smith should put up 40-yard dash and shuttle times similar to Trent Williams' in 2010. (Getty Images)

Projected 2011 combine star
OT Tyron Smith, Southern Cal
Expect the ultra-athletic Smith to weigh in at 300-plus pounds after playing at 285 for the Trojans. If his surgically repaired meniscus is healed, he should put up 40-yard dash and shuttle times similar to those recorded by Williams.
Other notable performances in 2010:
DT Lamarr Houston (44th overall, Raiders)
4.84 40, 33 1/2-inch vertical, 7.61 three-cone.
OT Rodger Saffold (33rd overall, Rams)
5.21 40, 27 reps of 225-pound bench press, 29 1/2-inch vertical, 4.67 shuttle, 7.42 three-cone, 9 feet, 5 inch broad jump.
RB Ben Tate (58th overall, Texans)
4.34 40, 26 reps of 225-pound bench press, 40 1/2-inch vertical, 4.12 short shuttle, 6.91 three-cone, 9 feet, 6 inch broad jump.
2009 (Defensive tackle)
DT Evander Hood
32nd overall, Steelers
"Ziggy" put on an athletic show (4.89 40, 34 reps, 33-inch vertical, 4.55 short shuttle, 7.5 three-cone). That allowed the Steelers to select him with the last pick of the first round as a five-technique defensive end in their 3-4 scheme.
Projected 2011 combine star
DT Corey Liuget, Illinois
A team running the 3-4 defense could view Liuget as a reasonable comparison to Hood, provided Liuget shows similar short-area quickness, but an outstanding performance could also boost his stock with 4-3 defensive teams like the Colts and Bears looking for a pass-rushing three-technique.
Other notable performances in 2009
DE/OLB Connor Barwin (46th overall, Texans)
4.61 40, 40 1/2-inch vertical, 4.18 short shuttle, 6.87 three-cone, 10 feet, 8 inch broad jump.
OLB Aaron Curry (4th overall, Seahawks)
4.55 40, 25 reps, 37-inch vertical, 10 feet, 4 inch broad jump. WR Darrius Heyward-Bey, Oakland (7th overall, Raiders)
4.28 40, 16 reps, 38 1/2-inch vertical, 4.18 short shuttle, 6.8 three-cone.
2008 (Quarterback)
QB Matt Ryan (4th overall, Falcons)
Athletic testing for most traditional, pro-style quarterbacks is fairly unimportant. As long as a quarterback appears somewhat mobile, teams will make their decisions based on the accuracy and arm strength shown on their college game film. Ryan actually made his case as a legitimate top-five pick during the interview process. The then 22-year old looked confident and comported himself as if he were a 10-year veteran. The Falcons took a chance on Ryan when many teams questioned his downfield arm strength and viewed his 18 interceptions as a senior as a foreboding sign.
Projected 2011 combine star
QB Cam Newton, Auburn
Newton will undoubtedly be off-the-charts athletically, should he choose to participate in workouts. But he'll need to woo teams with his personality and with straight-forward answers to tough questions about his troubles at Florida and throughout his heavily investigated secondary recruitment which found his father, Cecil, guilty of devising a pay-for-play scheme.
Other notable performances in 2008
RB Chris Johnson (24th overall, Titans)
4.24 40, 35-inch vertical, 10 feet, 10 inch broad jump.
SS Tyrell Johnson (42nd overall, Vikings)
4.41 40, 27 reps, 32-inch vertical, 10 feet, 7 inch broad jump.
TE Dustin Keller (30th overall, Jets)
4.55 40, 26 reps, 38-inch vertical, 4.14 short shuttle, 6.88 three-cone, 10 feet, 11 inch broad jump.
2007 (Defensive end)
DE Gaines Adams
4th overall, Buccaneers
Calvin Johnson's 4.4 40-yard dash at 230 pounds -- wearing someone else's shoes -- was impressive. But the late Adams' overall performance -- 4.66 40, 35-inch vertical, 7.17 three-cone, 9 feet, 11 inch broad jump, 35 3/4-inch arm length -- put him at the top of the defensive end class.
Projected 2011 combine star
DE Da'Quan Bowers, Clemson
The death of Adams, who attended the same high school as Bowers, greatly affected Bowers, who saw the emerging star as a role model and "big brother." The loss of his mentor and also the death of his father shortly thereafter, pushed Bowers to play so well that the 2010 Nagurski Trophy winner cements his status as a top-five pick with a great performance on the turf and in the interview room in Indy.
Other notable performances in 2007
C/OG Ryan Kalil (59th overall, Panthers)
5.01 40, 34 reps, 4.34 short shuttle, 7.5 three-cone, 8 feet, 8 inch broad jump.
DT Amobi Okoye (10th overall, Texans)
5.06 40, 29 reps, 7.46 three-cone, 9 feet, 3 inch broad jump.
ILB Patrick Willis (11th overall, 49ers)
4.56 40, 39-inch vertical, 9 feet, 11 inch broad jump.
2006 (Tight end)
TE Vernon Davis, 6-3, 254
6th overall, 49ers
Davis' combine was the stuff of legends, outperforming wide receivers who were 50 pounds lighter. Davis wowed with a 4.38 40, 33 reps of 225-pound bench press, 42-inch vertical and 10 feet, 8 inch broad jump. The athleticism on display in Indy made him one of two tight ends (Kellen Winslow, Jr.) to be picked as high as the sixth overall selection over the past quarter-century.
D.J. Williams may not be the next Vernon Davis, but he should climb up the draft boards. (Getty Images)

Projected 2011 combine star
TE D.J. Williams, Arkansas
Don't expect Williams to put up the type of numbers Davis did; but he could do very well in the 40 and change-of-direction drills to make his way up draft boards as Dustin Keller (Jets) did in 2008.
Other notable performances in 2006
CB Tye Hill (15th overall, Rams)
4.34 40, 41-inch vertical, 4.01 short shuttle, 6.63 three-cone, 10 feet, 9 inch broad jump.
DE/OLB Manny Lawson (22nd overall, 49ers)
4.43 40, 39-inch vertical, 4.18 short shuttle, 6.9 three-cone, 10 feet, 4 inch broad jump.
FS Michael Huff (seventh overall, Raiders)
4.31 40, 21 reps, 40 1/2-inch vertical, 10 feet, 5 inch broad jump.
2005 (Outside linebacker)
DE/OLB DeMarcus Ware
11th overall, Cowboys
The Sun Belt star proved he belonged with the big boys with a 4.56 40, 27 reps with very long arms and a strong 6.83 three-cone drill that displayed his receiver-like short-area quickness. Bill Parcells picked him up early to be the 3-4 pass rush star we've seen over the past few seasons (80.5 career sacks).
Projected 2011 combine star
DE/OLB Aldon Smith, Missouri
The right leg Smith fractured this season will be checked extensively during his combine physical, but his long, lean frame gives him the chance to move up into the top 12 picks of the first round as Ware did with similar test results.
Other notable performances in 2005
DT Luis Castillo (28th overall, Chargers)
4.79 40, 32 reps, 34 1/2-inch vertical (failed steroids test but was still picked in the first round).
RB J.J. Arrington (44th overall, Cardinals)
4.4 40, 18 reps, 35-inch vertical, 6.81 three-cone, 10 feet, 1 inch broad jump.
WR/TE Matt Jones (21st overall, Jaguars)
4.37 40, 39 1/2-inch vertical, 10 feet, 9 inch broad jump (converted quarterback).
2004 (Cornerback)
CB Ahmad Carroll
25th overall, Packers
His career did not turn out as well as fellow combine stars Dunta Robinson and DeAngelo Hall (who ran 4.34 and 4.35 in the 40), there is no question that Carroll's pure athleticism (4.28 40, 41-inch vertical, 10-8 broad jump) meant the most to his draft stock.
Projected 2011 Combine star
CB Brandon Harris (Miami, Fla.)
Harris is looking up to Patrick Peterson -- who could wow with his size/speed combination -- and Prince Amukmara on draft boards. Just as Carroll did Robinson and Hall. But showing speed and explosion in other drills could help him secure that first-round slot.
Other notable performances in 2004
DE Travis LaBoy (42nd overall, Titans)
4.68 40, 35 reps, 7.01 three-cone, 10 feet, 6 inch broad jump.
DT Igor Olshansky (35th overall, Chargers)
4.97 40, 41 reps, 33 1/2-inch vertical, 7.61 three-cone, 9-2 broad jump.
S Bob Sanders (44th overall, Colts)
4.35 40, 41 1/2-inch vertical, 6.7 three-cone.
2003 (Guard)
OG Eric Steinbach
33rd overall, Browns
Steinbach was an All-American left guard for the Hawkeyes, but tested like a left tackle at the combine. His 4.94 40, 36-inch vertical, 7.34 three-cone, 9 feet, 11 inch broad jump gave him one of the top testing performances by an interior lineman over the last decade.
Projected 2011 combine star
OG Danny Watkins, Baylor
His advanced age (26) and inexperience (only played four years of football, two at the FBS level) aside, Watkins' technique and attitude has made him a favorite among scouts. But if he can perform better than expected in Indy, he can lock up a first-round selection. If he's off the charts, teams might envision keeping him at tackle.
Other notable performances in 2003
CB Sammy Davis (30th overall, Chargers)
4.41 40, 19 reps, 40-inch vertical, 7.0 three-cone, 10 feet, 11 inch broad jump.
OLB Chaun Thompson (52nd overall, Browns)
4.53 40, 29 reps, 35 1/2-inch vertical, 7.0 three-cone, 10 feet, 3 inch broad jump.
WR Tyrone Calico (60th overall, Titans)
4.34 40, 38-inch vertical, 6.72 three-cone, 10 feet, 7 inch broad jump.
2002 (Safety)
SS Tank Williams
45th overall, Titans
There's little wonder why a 220-pound safety player nicknamed "Tank" (first name is Clevan), running 4.46 40, pushing 19 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press, recording a 38 1/2-inch vertical and broad jump of 10 feet, 5 inches, would go in the top 45 overall selections.

Projected 2011 combine star
SS DeAndre McDaniel, Clemson
This spot could have been taken by North Carolina's Deunta Williams had Williams not broken his right leg in the Tar Heels' bowl victory. But McDaniel's also a physical specimen who could inch all the way into the first round by showing his strength and surprising with good speed.
Other notable performances in 2002
DT Eddie Freeman, 6-5, 310, Kansas City, #43: 4.91 40, 32 reps, 34.5" vertical, 9'3" broad.
DE/OLB Bryan Thomas, 6-4, 266, NY Jets, #22: 4.47 40, 33 reps, 34.5' vertical.
WR Tim Carter, 6-0, 190, NY Giants, #46: 4.32 40, 39" vertical, 6.68 three-cone, 10'6" broad.
2001 (Running back)
RB LaDainian Tomlinson
5th overall, Chargers
One of the few elite prospects to work out at the 2001 combine, Tomlinson not only impressed NFL teams with his phenomenal workout (4.36 40, 18 reps, 40 1/2-inch vertical, 6.84 three-cone) but also his willingness to compete when others did not -- although he did face competition from Deuce McAllister (4.41 40 at 220 pounds, 20 reps, 37 1/2-inch vertical) and Michael Bennett (4.38 40, 39 1/2-inch vertical).
Projected 2011 combine star
RB Ryan Williams, Virginia Tech
Without injury issues, Williams would probably be among the top prospects in this draft. But knee surgery and ankle issues in high school, along with a torn right hamstring during the 2010 season, makes scouts doubt his durability. Assuming he is healthy for the combine, expect him to put up the best numbers among top running back prospects and enjoy a bump up many draft boards.
Other notable performances in 2001
DE Kyle Vanden Bosch (34th overall, Cardinals)
4.75 40, 26 reps, 36 1/2-inch vertical, 6.83 three-cone, 9 feet, 11 inch broad jump.
ILB Kendrell Bell (39th overall, Steelers)
4.64 40, 38 1/2-inch vertical, 7.25 three-cone, 10 feet, 4 inch broad jump.
WR Chris Chambers (52nd overall, Dolphins)
4.33 40, 45-inch vertical.
2000 (Inside linebacker)
ILB Brian Urlacher
9th overall, Bears
Scouts knew all about the talent of New Mexico's star, who excelled at the "Lobo" position, a safety/linebacker hybrid. He also made plays as a wide receiver (six touchdown receptions) and return specialist (five touchdowns). But the athleticism he showed at 258 pounds (4.59 40, 27 reps, 34-inch vertical, 10 feet, 2 inch broad jump) cinched a top-10 spot.
Projected 2011 combine star
ILB Martez Wilson, Illinois
Wilson's neck problems that kept him off the field in 2009 might scare off some teams, but his athleticism has always been evident. He played inside for the Illini, and could shift outside as a pass rusher at the next level, but 3-4 teams looking for a Karlos Dansby-type inside 'backer will really appreciate his skill set.
Other notable performances in 2000
OT Chad Clifton (44th overall, Packers)
5.08 40, 24 reps of 225-pound bench press, 30 1/2-inch vertical, 7.58 three-cone.
RB Trung Canidate (32nd overall, Rams)
4.44 40, 18 reps.
S William Bartee (54th overall, Chiefs)
4.45 40, 38 1/2-inch vertical, 6.7 three-cone, 10 feet, 4 inch broad jump.

Re: Combine preview: Top performances, player projections
Found this video to be a lot of fun. I don't think winning this necessarily correlates to eventual on field performance, but Stephen Paea beating the bench press record can't be a bad thing.

FORMER Asian junior champion Kenichi Tago is fast gaining the tag as the giant-killer in his debut in the World Championships.
And he attributes the success to his mother, Yoshiko Yonekura.
Yesterday, the 20-year-old defeated Germany's top shuttler Marc Zwiebler 21-15, 21-10 to check into the third round. The previous day, he beat seventh seed Joachim Persson of Denmark for his biggest career win thus far.
Tago will take on Indonesian Simon Santoso today for a place in the quarter-finals and he is hoping to continue his fairy-tale run.
"My mother was a national player and she did quite well in badminton. She is an inspiration to me," he said.
Yonekura was a two-time doubles runner-up at the All-England and a semi-finalist in the World Championships.
Since winning the Asian junior title in 2006, Tago has been struggling to find his footing on the big stage.
"I am playing well here and my net play has improved. I think this has been the key to my good showing in this tournament," he said.
On his match against Simon, he said: "I will still be going in as the underdog but it will be great if I can continue my good run here."

Every gent needs to have an amazing set of grooming products at his fingertips at a moment's notice. Popular brand Old Spice is now delivering more hair styling products (see above) to help keep your hair looking and smelling its best.
Designed to offer the easiest to care for hair, Old Spice's lineup of products boasts some cleansing conditioning options as well as pomades and gels in a variety of scents to meet your needs. And many of them have the quirky names that you're accustomed to when it comes to Old Spice.
Recently I was able to try out the following from Old Spice:
- Unruly Paste
- Spiffy Pomade
- Forge Putty
- Deadlock Spiking Glue
- Timber w/mint 2 in 1 Shampoo & Conditioner
- Swagger 2 in 1 Shampoo & Conditioner
The styling products (Unruly, Spiffy and Forge), while different types of products, are eerily similar in texture and function. They all serve as the final stop in your styling routine, designed to limit fly-away hairs and provide control to otherwise "unruly" hair. While the textures are very similar, the scents don't differ much either, which made them pretty interchangeable in my grooming regimen.
In my trials with the products, I ended up using Unruly the most (probably because it most described my hair). It has a pretty clean scent, which funny enough, doesn't linger all that much throughout the day. That's actually one positive/critique about Old Spice's line up of hair products…they don't pack the potency that some of their body sprays do, which is a refreshing surprise.
I tried the pastes/pomade/putty on damp or dry hair as the products suggest, but I have to say that they prove to work much better on dry hair. A dime-size to a nickel-sized amount worked perfectly well at taming my fro and providing much need control in humid summer weather. Overall, they're a safe bet when it comes to controlling your locks, despite having a less than stellar ingredients list. But, that's more of a personal preference type of thing. Mineral oil just isn't high up on my list of approved ingredients.
Regarding Old Spice's Deadlock which is the new gel in it lineup, I don't have much to offer. The "spiking glue" as its called, didn't work particularly well for me on damp hair. I think there's something about the formulation that just didn't work well with my hair. It didn't help clump hair into nice curls but did work well at fighting off humidity and "the frizzies" as I like to call them. That being said, the hold is pretty strong so a little goes a long way my friends. Use this one judiciously.
The major winners though, in my mind, were the 2-in-1 shampoo products, likely because I honestly wasn't expecting to like them so much! Swagger and Timber work pretty well at cleansing the scalp and providing moisture. But, I have to say that I found myself indulging in Timber over and over again due to its refreshing mint smell. It just felt more natural to me, which is something I always look for in my products.
All in all, there are some good options in the new hair care line-up from Old Spice. Standouts, for me, were the Unruly Paste and the Timber 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner but the other products weren't too shabby either. Overall, I think that Old Spice is definitely making some serious head way in improving their offerings in the hair care game and I think many guys will respond well to the availability and value of these products.
Enter in the widget below to receive your own prize pack from Old Spice featuring some of the same products reviewed above! The giveaway will run for 1 week and prizes will be shipped out in July. So what are you waiting for? Enter now!

Photos: Rainer Sabin breaks down all 32 first round picks in our SportsDay mock draft
Photo: Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
18. San Diego / Team Needs: CB; LB; OL; DL; WR / Pick: Whitney Mercilus; OLB; Illinois / Not too long ago, San Diego had one of the most feared defenses in the league. But last season, the Chargers' pass rush was rather feckless. The Chargers collected only 32 sacks - an underwhelming figure considering that only eight teams recorded fewer. Mercilus appears capable of helping San Diego increase that total. After all, no college player tallied more sacks than Mercilus did last season.

Washington(CNN)- What a difference two months makes.
In late November and early December, in the wake of Chris Christie's landslide re-election victory, the Republican governor from New Jersey was riding high in the polls.
Christie topped the other potential GOP 2016 White House hopefuls in surveys of Republicans' choice for their next presidential nominee, and he was knotted up with Hillary Clinton in hypothetical general election showdowns.

He doesn't know his alphabet. He doesn't know how to add and subtract. He knows how to play. That's about it.
I know I sound sarcastic but I know if I rant about this on Facebook I will hurt the feelings of many of my friends who are boasting about their kid's reading skills. It's cool if your kid can read.
But I am proud that my child can't read! He has plenty of time. :-)

Love this thread! My son is 6 and he is just now starting to show interest in reading
My other son is 5 and thinks 'A' is a number. Shows absolutely no interest in any academics, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
It's hard to keep my mouth closed when I hear friends or others stressing about reading and academics so early... I love it here where I am not the minority!
Ok, I have to join now. This is fun!
My son is 4 years old and doesn't even know the ABC song! He only counts to 7 and scribbles when he colors. He doesn't know a single letter. But he "reads" all the time, because he has memorized some of our favorite books.
Add one more reason to my list of why I stay off FB!
However, please know that what many parents call "reading" is a bit of a stretch. *Putting on former Pre-K teacher hat now* A child can only truly understand in print that which he can understand in speech. The most important way to prepare a child for literacy (truly understanding and using the written word) is through orality - talk to them, sing to them, tell them stories and rhymes, and read to them. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the alphabet and letter sounds. I have worked with older children who can "read" an entire story, but cannot answer the simplest questions about it once they are finished. That isn't reading. Ok, rant over!
Warmest Blessings!

I was all set to come in and assure you that this is actually a GOOD thing, so I'm relieved that your thread is what it is.
But if I were to participate, it would be kind of sad. My daughter is 13 and can't ride a bike. My other daughter is 9 and can't tie her shoes. Yeah, sad.
The longer I am a mother the more I see how DIFFERENT the path of development is for all kids and how amazing that is. They are individuals and shouldn't constantly be measured against each other or some kind of manufactured standard!
I especially find it fascinating and wonderful how kids pick and choose what they want to focus on developmentally.
More parents need to know that it's perfectly OK if their kid doesn't know the alphabet but can climb that play structure like nobody's business, or if their kid can count backwards from 100 but hasn't the slightest idea how to use a ride-on toy!
My son tends to fall in the latter category, he's far more interested in and excels at traditionally academic pursuits and isn't so good at physical things but he's a great kid and the most important thing is that he is doing what he wants and what he likes and that he is one freaking happy kid! I wish mamas weren't so quick to jump to comparing- I love pointing out the amazing strengths and different abilities of my son and the kids he hangs out with, they are all just following their own paths and it's wonderful to see happy kids.
Thanks for this thread.

Yes! My son could do some things much sooner than my daughter could, with greater confidence, but he seems littler in many other ways. They are all so different and fun.
Mothering an Autumn (08) , a Spring (11) , and another Autumn! (Nov. 2013)
Taking what works and leaving the rest
I did everything "right" to give my DD a Waldorf-inspired childhood, including sending her to a Waldorf school toddler program. Her playroom is a mini-Waldorf classroom. I was very much a model Waldorf child and learned to read at 7. Until then, I don't think I even noticed that I was supposed to read out the letters I see. I spent the first seven years of my life completely free from academic pressure and that's what I wanted for my own child.
So, I don't know where we went wrong. Maybe it's all SO's fault ;) but I have a toddler who is a math whiz and is determined to read independently. We had a play date today and his mother noticed how "ahead" she seems to be but I pointed out that DD is too cautious to ride her balance bike so she hasn't made any progress whereas her son rides his strider like a pro. In my book, that is not any less impressive than DD being able to tell time.
At the end of the day, all that matters is that they go to sleep knowing that they are loved, respected, cared for, and appreciated for who they are. :)
OP, your rant gave me a giggle! You sound so much like I did when my daughter was 3. She gained an interest in reading more from storytelling and being read to and seeing us read. Then she slowly starting picking it up on her own and asking questions about words in the environment. She was in 2nd grade and well on her way to 8 before she really sat down and read by herself. And you know what.... it was like magic!

My 5 year old doesn't read either...and you'd seriously think she couldn't hold up her own head, the way people react. So silly. She is so creative and kind and compassionate and yes, even though she doesn't read, she is SMART!
I'm so glad to come here and read things from like-minded mamas! Some days I feel exhausted from swimming upstream!!
Kalista, happily married to my best friend , mama to 4 fabulous kids!
we are not waldorf, but I was so glad to read this thread :) My daughter is nearly 6 and still not reading and it only stresses me out when I let myself start comparing and worrying. My son is almost 3 and definitely, absolutely, is not reading! They are both amazingly smart and wonderful :)
Oh what a feel happy thread!!
My four year old doesn't know the alphabet song. Instead of watching sesame street (that's where his older brother learned it at age 2) he is digging outside. Besides aren't there a million better songs?
When his doctor asked if he can write his own name he answered yes, and he really thinks so, because I never told him the up and down triangular stuff he makes is not really writing.
When his grandmother asked my kids if the little one is learning to read at his preschool (playbased) my older one burst out:"are you kidding me, he barely knows how to draw. You have to learn the important things first" I was so glad he answered for me, my reaction was the same. What lunatic would force his little hands make those abstract shapes, when (and the grandma has seen it) he is drawing four circles to represent his family.
I love the freedom Waldorf has given me to beam in pride because my kid is a wizard at making any stick into a person and any log into a ship or what ever. How he doesn't need me to help him play, his mind is an adventure all his own. It's a different kind of pride than the one I had for my older son when he was 3 and could write. it's a more pure and silent pride, a feel good pride, like, that I accept my child as his pure self, not for his spot in the competition.
There was a certain worry that I had, looking at a kid who can write at 3, that what if I pick the wrong school for him and he doesn't become a genius. Now that I'm proud of their imagination and play, I know I can't undo any of that for them.
my ds is 8 and he now can read and write MUCH better than his peers that started at three but they still cannot play! My dd is 6 and can't read she's sooooooo excited to go to class 1 next year
My four year old can count to twelve and then starts counting by twos after that, since she always hears me count my knitting stitches.
Mothering an Autumn (08) , a Spring (11) , and another Autumn! (Nov. 2013)
Taking what works and leaving the rest
My DD is almost 4 and she can't go down the slide. When other kids tell her to, she says "No, that one is a little bit too fast for me." I am so so proud of her. =)
My oldest didn't read until she was 8. She had a hard time with it, but now wants to be a writer. My smartest child - an incredibly intelligent 11yo who taught himself to read, multiply, and write computer programs - still didn't read until he was 5.
I pushed my DD (8 now) to learn from the beginning. By the time she was my DS' age (2 nearly 3), she knew the entire alphabet in order, her colors, and could count (up to 15, if I remember correctly). I was very proud of her. I still am. However, though I won't go so far as to say I killed her imagination, I will say that it is on life support, and I feel I did her a huge disservice. We've taken a break from schooling to rehabilitate her imagination. Thankfully, she is making great strides, and I have faith that her imagination will make a full recovery.
I have never pushed my DS to learn anything remotely academic, and have stirred up more than a couple stinks with people who have attempted to step in where they feel I've failed him. He is nearly 3 and does not know the alphabet, can only count to three, and is only beginning to be sure about colors, and I'm darned proud of the both of us for that (lack of) accomplishment. He is funny, sweet, clever, and imaginative. He can point out and name every plant we grow, and all of his favorite weeds. He knows that acorn caps make great hats for stick people and leaves make wonderful puddle boats after a rain. DS doesn't know how to spell his own name, but he knows how to appreciate the world around him and how to amuse himself for hours with nothing more than his own mind and what he can find outside. I can't imagine a better way for him to spend his early years.
This thread is refreshing. My daughter isn't even 11 months old yet and family/friends are already trying to turn everything into a teachable moment. "See the bunny. The bunny is BROWN. How many bunnies are there? ONE, TWOOO, THREEEEE. Turn the page. Goood Job!" I have to remind them every time to just let her enjoy the story/play/climb/crawl etc. I am thankful for supportive forums like this, most people I know IRL have never heard of Waldorf education.
Mama of DD(6/2012) and wife to DH . Homesteading on 7 acres.
I was at the park yesterday with a friend whose son turned two in December. She is bragging about how he knows all of the letters of the alphabet and how she is now teaching him to read. The kid can hardly talk. Anyways, their whole day seems to be spent around her teaching him, and she brags like it makes her a better mom. My daughter turned 3 a month ago and knows over half her letters and I haven't and don't plan on teaching any to her for a few years. If she learns them, great, but we focus on rhythm and play and being outside and letting her be little. And I am the one who gets the strange looks.
Hahaha. I think it's crazy when you see BABY toys and all of them have letters and numbers. WTH???

This thread is so awesome! Kids read when they are ready to. Most are not ready to read at 3. (Or, 4-5-6 and even 7 for that matter.) They want to play and figure things out in their own time. We attend a Waldorf school but Maria Montessori said it best: follow the child. We need a lot more of that in our society and a lot less of us foisting our own political and economic insecurities on our children. They know what they need and our job as adults and parents is to truly listen. Yay for the mamas who have the courage to believe that it's ok for children to take their time if they need to.
I'm with you on 3-4-5....but 6 and 7? You're saying first and second graders shouldn't be able to read? That sounds odd to me. I mean, it's probably not the biggest deal in the world, but definitely not an ideal to strive toward.
I'm truly not being argumentative, just expressing surprise. I think I read The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe when I was 7, and I'm no genius.

This is the Waldorf area of the forum and in Waldorf education reading comes later than what most people are used to. Emphasis is on play based education which builds social skills during the time when it is much needed. In our society we push push push to read/do math/learn science pretty early. But in Waldorf education social skills are paramount early on with that stuff coming later. Most Waldorf educated kids go on to be very successful in life.

Is this a joke? Most kids cant read at 3
Great post.
Good for you that's insane that people are pushing their children to accomplish paper tasks. Children learn best through the art of play. Creative minds create change. We need to guide our children to be critical thinkers not task workers. They learn life thinking skills through play. I think there is a lot of us that agree with you and it's exciting to see who our children will be and what they will do when they are our age.
I find this sort of funny. Can I comment even though we're not a Waldorf family? At 18 months we got our daughter a set of alphabet blocks not really intending to teach her the alphabet but more intending to have blocks for her to build with, but she was very interested in the letters and wanted to know what they were and knew them all within a month. Numbers up to 10 followed soon after. The part I find entertaining is that my husband learned to read at 3 1/2 and I did not learn until 5. He has this paranoia that our daughter won't learn to read as early as he did, and I'm like, yeah, she might not learn until she's 5, and she might not be reading 300-page books until she's 6 (like I did), man, that would be so horrible and she would never get ahead in life.

Iain Levison can find work but not fulfillment. The frustration of dead-end, deadhead labor induces a kind of pink-slip payback syndrome as the realization sets in that his college degree will gain him little by way of psychic wages on the job. He is adrift in a workaday world where one human is as good as the next and all are expendable. Meaningless promises abound, "like when they were telling us [at commencement that] we were the future of the world, the bright shining blah blah blah." In ten years, Iain Levison has lived in six states and worked at forty-two jobs, from fish cutter in Alaska to furniture mover in North Carolina, film-set gopher, oil deliveryman, truck driver, crab fisherman . . . He quit thirty of them, got fired from nine, and has difficulty remembering the other three. Whatever could go wrong often did, hilariously. A Working Stiff's Manifesto makes Nickel and Dimed look like chump change. It is a funny book about the not-so-funny American workplace. The real thing, written not by a high-priced journalist disguised as a counter clerk, or a tenured professor passing as a vagrant, but by a genuine wage-dependent, red-blooded working stiff too "rich" for welfare and too broke to fit a consumer demographic. He works to keep his car running to get back and forth from work. He works to get by and get back to square one for the next day's labors.

Another Swiss Pass question
Sorry about that but we are trying to figure out if it makes sense to buy a Swiss Pass for D's trip and I hope we are not missing something. She will be in Switzerland for 5 days but the itinerary is as follows Day 1 Arrive early evening in Lugano from Milan and stay overnight. She will take the express bus from the airport. Day 2 Early Bernina Express Bus Lugano to Tirano. at Tirano board train to Pontresina and stay here for two nights. Day 3. Pontresina explore the area using the mountain railway cable cars and maybe go over to St. Moritz. Day 4 Pontresina to Zurich. Stay overnight in Zurich near train station
Day 5 Get to airport and fly to Berlin from Zurich. By calculating these trips on SBB, it adds up to CH 117 while the 4 day Swiss Pass is 225 (Youth fare). Even if we throw in an additional train ride near Pontresina, it would not add up to the Swiss Pass. Currently, there is a promotion for the Engadin area hotels where if you stay two nights, the cable cars are included. We have booked one of these hotels to take advantage of the promotion. Would those railway/cable cars be covered under the Swiss Pass, if she did not have the free tickets? Am I missing something? I know the ease of having the pass is nice to have but the price differential is significant.

Man, 19, fatally shot at Southside home
A 19-year-old Corpus Christi man died early Wednesday after he was shot in the chest while hanging out with friends at a Southside home, police said.
Eric Salazar, a former Moody High School student, was with two or three other 18- and 19-year-old men about 1:30 a.m. at a house in the 4000 block of Dublin Drive when one of the men took out a semiautomatic handgun and fired a shot that hit Salazar in the chest, said police Capt. Robert Bridge. It wasn't clear late Wednesday what led to the man using the gun, Bridge said.
"It all depends on what version of events actually happened," Bridge said. "The overall premise is that the weapon was produced, and either intentionally or unintentionally the weapon discharged."
Bridge wouldn't comment further about a possible motive, citing the ongoing investigation. Police Cmdr. David Torres said that the group appeared to be partying, but investigators would not say whether alcohol or drugs were found. Authorities are investigating the case as a homicide.
Emergency rescuers were the first to arrive, and Salazar later died at the hospital, Torres said. Police arrested 18-year-old Joseph Valentic at the scene. He lived at the house on Dublin with his father, police said. A handgun authorities believe was used in the incident belonged to Valentic's father, Bridge said.
Valentic's father said Wednesday night that the shooting was accidental. He wouldn't speak further about the incident.
In February, Salazar and two other men were sentenced to 10 years probation and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine after they were convicted of assault with a deadly weapon stemming from a June 2006 shooting. In that incident, Salazar was riding with the other men in front of another vehicle on South Padre Island Drive.
According to witness testimony, someone in the car Salazar was in began shooting at the other vehicle. No one was injured.
Moody High School Principal Conrado Garcia said he will look into the possibility of bringing grief counselors to the school.
"Anytime we lose one of our students it's a tragedy for the whole school," he said.
Valentic, who was charged with murder, remained Wednesday night in the Nueces County Jail on a $250,000 bond, a jail official said.

So who is Stempel, Herb?
I've had this guy on my ignore list for a while. All he does is quote people and mock them about personal info they've shared about themselves. I know he did it yesterday to me (I obviously didn't read the garbage) and I feel like I'm his favorite target.
I think it's some regular poster who is too p*ssy to post these things with his original account.
Just the fact that this jackass saves everyone's shared stories just to mock them and then has the audacity to say others are looking for validation by sharing these stories all while he hides behind an alt account to avoid ruining whatever his actual reputation is shows how much of a f*cking loser he is.
Does anyone know who this bitch is?
Re: So who is Stempel, Herb?
"I'm ignoring this guy and I don't read his posts, but I'm going to go ahead and make a thread about him anyways"
Re: So who is Stempel, Herb?
link to the thread?
Re: So who is Stempel, Herb?
Just because I'm ignoring him doesn't mean I don't want to find out which p*ssy it is.
If I recall correctly, he once mocked my kid. That's the type of shit that shows how much of a bitch he really is. Queers like him use the anonymity online to get away with saying shit they'd never say offline.
Re: So who is Stempel, Herb?
I saw he quoted me in the thread JameertheFear made where he's talking about walking in on his kid sister watching porn.
Re: So who is Stempel, Herb?
i had the sense not to touch that thread, but when i googled, this post did come up:
basic impression: maybe you were a little hard on jameer and this guy decided to pay you back the way us guys like to do on occasion. :confusedshrug:
Re: So who is Stempel, Herb?
It's one thing if a regular poster calls me out, but when it's clearly a reg poster hiding behind an account & the fact that he has mocked me about my very being, including negging me earlier and saying a bunch of racist shit, I don't take it lightly.
I take it as some bitch hiding behind his computer who is too afraid to reveal who he truly is. He has an obsession with me, too. I swear he remembers shit about me that I've shared 3 years ago. He'll just randomly call me out about anything and everything.
And there were plenty of people who went hard on Jameer, yet my post is the only one that offended this bitch? Shows extreme bias and some personal pathetic online vendetta he has against me.
Re: So who is Stempel, Herb?
Meh... not doing yourself a favor by making this thread.
Didn't take any shots at your family members... just attempted to humiliate you.
He's a dick but you're not helping your cause with this thread. Best to leave shit like that alone or just reply to him in that thread if you have something you want to say. Making a thread about someone on your ignore list is never a good idea
Re: So who is Stempel, Herb?
WTF is wrong with that guy :lol
Re: So who is Stempel, Herb?
I didn't read that post until gigantes posted the link, so I wasn't sure what the post was about. Only reason I even made this thread is because I know he's a bitch with some issue he has with me. Like I already said he likely saves all my posts on his hard drive just to bring them up at a later date to mock me.
And he didn't say anything in that post about my family, but he has in the past and he negged me after making that post, calling me a "dirty paki with an ugly kid." Shit is too much, IMO.
Shit like this makes me wonder why I even keep coming back to this site. I guess I can only blame myself for sharing personal stories, but there are usually cool posters here who have relevant shit to say and add about those stories.
For instance, when I made that thread about some old perv offering my brother $15k/mo for some shady shit, I got PMs from a handful of posters who either had similar experiences to share or just wanted to thank me for the thread.
I know I'm looking bad right now for caring so much about who this bitch is, but I just want to find out so I can know which p*ssy is hiding behind his alt account.
Re: So who is Stempel, Herb?
edit - probably talking about a different gimmick. Stimpel Herb may be the gimmick of the gimmick being discussed in that thread.
someone said that Stimpel Herb is clearly DashMane...
edit again - J$ and dasher are the two accused.... It is about stimpel herb...
Re: So who is Stempel, Herb?
Scholar you're the most feminine fcking dude on here.
Your brain works like a fcking females.
This thread is comparable to a group of girls at high school huddling around trying to figure out who's spreading rumors that you stuff your bra
Just shut the fck up you lame ass. Everyone talks sh!t. About everybody. Especially when your ****0t ass isn't around. Grow up dipsh!t.
You and that I'm so rad guy are two peas in a pod.
Re: So who is Stempel, Herb?
I hope it isn't J$. It'd be f*cked up.
Re: So who is Stempel, Herb?
It's starface.

My Streets My Eats: Free Chicago's Mobile Vendors from Anti Competitive Laws
Chicago laws make it nearly impossible to sell tasty food on the go. The City Council is considering a freer regime, but the proposed law still bans entrepreneurs from selling in the morning or stopping anywhere near a building where food is sold. Food trucks and carts would be banned from business districts where most customers are. Call your alderman today to say, "Get mobile food rolling in Chicago!" Read more

Unformatted text preview: Epidemiology has been defined as, the study of the distribution and determinants of
health-related states or events in specific populationsand now includes chronic diseases, such
as cancer and cardiovascular disease ( Stanhope & Lancaster, 2008 p. 243). The five leading
causes of death in North County range from heart disease, and stroke to accidents and Nurse
Smith use biostatistics to review and analyze public health concepts and issues in order to
prepare care plans for the aggregate.
According to Stanhope & Lancaster, Epidemiology is the study of populations in order
to (1) monitor the health of the population, (2) understand the determinants of health and disease
in communities, and (3) investigate and evaluate interventions to prevent disease and maintain
health (p. 244-245).There are several risk factors associated with certain disease which can be
modified and controlled. Epidemiology is useful in obtaining the determinants that might have
influence on the leading causes of death in North County, and use that information to develop a
plan of care that can help to prevent or reduce the incidence of such cases. According to
Chockalingam, His epidemiological surveys and patient awareness programmes, which bring
together professional associations and voluntary agencies, have led to a pragmatic approach to
preventive medicine.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London

Rating: 5.0

The independent research agency made the conclusion after finding that Facebook is fast becoming the main means of social and commercial engagement for 16-24 year olds, ahead of phones and even meeting up in person.
Its study, 'Project Chatter', concluded that regular Facebook devotees (91% of the sample) checked their accounts more than six times a day, with 30% on the site for over an hour a time.
The research highlighted how ingrained social media has become in the lives of young people – having a significant bearing on how they interact with one another, how they pick up on trends, and how they learn about and form relationships with brands.
Facebook appears to be an especially relevant conduit for this relationship with brands – much more so than YouTube or Twitter.
More than a third (35%) of Facebook users have become a fan of at least one brand or company, rising to 38% among female users.
Mark Zuckerberg's site also has lower expected drop-off rates than Twitter, with 13% expecting to use it less in the next 12 months, compared to 20% for Twitter.
In addition, out of the 42% of the 16-24 years olds interviewed who had used Twitter, more than half (56%) said they used it a little, or a lot less often, or never made active use of the site after visiting it.
David Penn, managing director of Conquest, came to the surprising conclusion that Twitter has peaked among the younger demographic and warned it "may undergo a gradual decline echoing the fate of MySpace and Bebo in internet Siberia".
Project Chatter was carried out by Conquest in January 2011 with a representative sample of 350.
