My DS (27 months) has been so emotional and tempermental in the last few weeks (my DD is now 9 weeks old). We stayed with my parents for the first 4 weeks and since we returned home he's been sick and tired. He wakes up tired and cranky and throws tantrums throughout the day. I try hard to be understanding and nurturing but by the evening I've had it and get so frustrated, especially as I try not to leave my DD to cry on her own. Often I have them both on my lap simply crying. By the time he's asleep I feel exhausted and guilty for not having been more patient. Any suggestions on how others have dealt with a toddler adjusting to a new baby?

Oh Blessedmummy, I could have written your post!!!
My DD is 26.5months and my DS is 3.5months old now and I still have days where I'm sitting on the floor holding both of them while they cry. I think our toddlers are just at that age where their emotions are very pure and strong and uncontrollable. Some days my toddler is very much a baby still and needs lots of attention and other days, she is more "big girl" and is very independent.
It is hard because sometimes you have to decide who needs you the most...such a tough decision when they both need you.
I do not have any advice on helping the adjustment because I think time is really all we have. I do my best to give my toddler one-on-one attention when my DS is asleep. Unfortunately, my DS doesn't nap well at all because my toddler is quite lively and loud. But, when he is asleep, I try to read some books and cuddle with her. We've had to change our naptime routine for my DD several times thru the past 3 months and I have to say...she is very resilient.
I find that I do not have any personal time whatsoever from the moment I wake up in the mornings until both of them are asleep for the evening.
Do you have a partner who can take over with your daughter for a short time in the evening so that you can reconnect with your son? Maybe a special ritual that ya'll used to do before your daughter was born?
I think the meltdowns are going to happen...it is just that age for them. I try to trouble shoot them when they occur for me to see if there was anything I could have done to avert it. Sometimes I can do things different, other times, I cannot.
Don't guilt-trip yourself to much. Your children know that you love them and your family WILL make it thru this transition intact. Just take a deep breath and give your babies a big kiss..
Feel free to PM me if you just want to chat. We might be able to help each other out!

What helped immensely with my 2-year old was something I read in "Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves" by Naomi Aldort. It's just the last few pages of the book if I remember correctly and well worth the read.
She talks about how important it is to validate your child's feelings, now matter how extreme they seem to you. (Feelings are always ok, certain actions are not). I think she gives an example about wishing we could throw the baby in the trash or something. I didn't go quite that far, but said things like "Do you sometimes wish it was just me and you again?" "Do wish the baby would go away?" "It's hard having a little brother, isn't it?" All he would do is nod his head and cry, but it made such a difference to him that he thought I understood exactly how he was feeling. Every time he would act out in some way I would repeat these things and within a couple days he was like a whole new kid. It was a huge turning point for us.
My boys are nearly 3 and nearly 1 now and things are generally very good around here. It does get better! Good luck.

For my son (3yrs old) the most important thing for him was he wanted to be held! Keep in mind he is near 40LBS and my new baby (now 6mo) is now 18lbs! So sometimes I would carry my 3yr old on my back in the Ergo and my baby in the front in a mai-tai...not very much! but whenever I could...It was very important to him. He also missed us feeding him and "babying" him which I think is normal to want especially as the children ages and learns new skills...Yes I need to go to the chiropractor!

i'm also wondering if, while they're both crying, you could distract them w/a book or something interactive? stacking blocks? in the early days, i spent a lot of time w/one in the sling, while i played w/the other on the floor.
also, you say he wakes up tired, he may simply not be getting good, restful sleep. maybe trying to get him to bed a few minutes earlier could help?
Thank you for the replies. I really needed to hear that others had similar experiences and that you did get through them. I do agree that DS is not getting enough sleep right now, especially as he has been really sick the last few weeks. He hates to go to sleep and lately has been going to bed when we go to bed (we all sleep in one bed). I think I will take him to bed earlier and have some one-to-one time reading and cuddling.
We took the kids to the park a couple of days ago and while DH took care of DD, I spent time playing with DS. He was able to tell me he "felt sad" because there was "no time for hugs". Reading your replies also tapped into my emotions and I had a good cry... thanks! I think part of why I feel so overwhelmed is that I haven't had any time for myself since DD was born. Can I also ask how are you disciplining? On some occasions I just cuddle and on others I have to be firm (like when he has gone to hit DD). Thanks again... it's so good to be able to "speak" to others who parent similarly.
NIghtime parenting: The Nurse-aholic and the new born.
Wow... I am feeling so the same way!...In addition to his more pronounced tantrums, my other problem is that he is turning into a nurse-aholic. A month ago, I was working full time (until 3 days before I gave birth to my daughter), Then he nursed, when I got home, at bedtime, and sometimes during the night. He would allow my sister to rock him for naptimes. Now, that his one month old sister is here, my 27 month old is nursing 3-10 times during the day and 2-5 times at night..... If he hears her stir he wants to nurse too. Any suggestions om how to give him some other sleep associations?

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
My firstborn was only 12 months old when his little brother was born. He followed me around the house for about 2 weeks and screamed bloody murder whenever I nursed his brother, changed his brother's diaper, etc... Then just like that it was over and he went back to normal. Not exactly helpful, I know! It sounds like your 2 year old might have something else going on, teething? sick? earache? My boys both had some kind of intestinal bug this weekend-not fun at all. It is a hard transition, and trust me I'm not looking forward to the boys' reaction to their baby sister who is due mid-June. But they DO adjust.
nurse-aholic... again
Wll my 27 month old has a cold... but other than that he is not sick and is not teething... Maybe a growth spurt... But really I am worried that I have taught him to only be able to fall asleep while sucking..... I am not trying to ween him completely... but I would like to give him another tool for falling asleep.... In my recent attempts, I have tried to rock him instead.... He doesn't want to stop nursing and gets very upset.... not very helpful for relaxing into sleep...

I think we have to move beyond behaviorism in these cases. Obviously the super-nursers need more of something to 'fill their love cup' and its the most easiest and quickest for the child to just nurse to fill it. I find if I take the thing my son wants away or act supremely annoyed that he wants it (now it is carrying, when he was younger it was nursing also) HE ONLY WANTS IT MORE and is supremely insulted that I wasn't giving it to him easily and with love. With new babies we are frantic and desperately tired and trying to do everything and I think your oldest sees that and wants his calm mommy who is willing to give nursing without so much drama. From his perspective he might see what he has lost and how it is different and he is fighting to get what he needs. Maybe you should sit down and nurse him for five minutes (maybe a timer to show him?) and while he is nursing 'pet' his hair or gently pat on his back to give him another special mommy touch association and try to eventually move away from the nursing. Show him that he is still important to you (even though his behavior is driving you crazy!) and that he still had a right to get cuddles and nursing from mommy.
I hope it improves!
nightime weaning posts helpful
Well thank you for all your replies...
I basically have 2 issues...some discipline challenges as there is a new sibling... and the nighttime nursing issue... The tantrums are getting easier as he adjusts to his new sister (fortunately she is not a high need baby)... and I guess it will just take more time and patience. Once I realized there was a nighttime weaning forum to read, I realized that this is where it is eventually heading. I got some good book ideas and hints from that forum.... and will eventually go that route. Going to our easter service on saturday night really helped too... I think I was just feeling out of whack spiritually in general.... I also splurged on a YMCA membership to get some exercise... After 2 years of doing NOTHING for myself and giving it all to my child, husband, and job... I am hoping this will help polish my mirror and give me a positive atitude to deal with my wonderful son and new daughter.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

"one of best things ever bought"

I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I am with my solar shade. My living room window faces south so I have sun pouring in the window all day.View this product
By David from Halfmoon Bay
We ordered 13 motorized shades - not only was the price a fraction of our local dealer - they are excellent quality and exactly what we wanted. The only negative is the poor instructions for programming the Somfy remote controls. When there are 13 blinds in two rooms and two remotes - the instructions are poor. After a lot of time on the internet I finally had to call Somfy customer service - and they walked me through it- they were excellent and prompt.View this product

The former pastor has been convicted five times for disrupting various events.
An anti-abortion activist who climbed a tree and heckled President Obama during Monday's inauguration has been banned from the District of Columbia.
Rives Miller Grogan, 47, of Los Angeles, was charged with violating a previous order to stay away from the U.S. Capitol, The Washington Post reports. He was also charged with violating laws to protect the Capitol and its grounds.
During a hearing Tuesday, the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion, a D.C. judge freed Grogan, ordering him to stay away from the Capitol and the District. He'll be allowed back in on Feb. 25 for his next court hearing.
Since 2009, he's been convicted five times in D.C., mostly for disorderly conduct or disobeying police.
Authorities said Grogan, a former pastor, had an inauguration ticket and went through security screening about 8 a.m. He then climbed a thin evergreen near First Street and Maryland Avenue, near the Capitol.
A fire ladder truck couldn't get through a security barrier, and Grogan climbed higher when police brought in a ladder, so U.S. Capitol Police decided to leave him in the tree to not disrupt the swearing-in.
During the five hours in his 40-foot-high perch Grogan displayed a sign, "Pray to end abortion," while shouting slogans against Obama and Democrats. A spectator said he paused only when Beyoncé performed the National Anthem.
Last week, Grogan was arrested for shouting from the U.S. Senate gallery, a repeat of another protest Dec. 28 during the fiscal cliff debate.
Twice he has disrupted Supreme Court sessions.
Grogan's typical punishment has involved fines, probation or suspended sentences and short stints in jail.
In October, Grogan was arrested in Cincinnati after he ran onto the field before Game 3 of the third National League Division Series playoff between the hometown Reds and the San Francisco Giants. He waved an anti-abortion sign that also endorsed Mitt Romney for president.
He was charged with trespassing and resisting arrest.

TUPELO – The city council on Tuesday moved incrementally forward on Mayor Jack Reed's proposal for a pilot neighborhood redevelopment project.
"The council gave me permission to proceed with property acquisition," said Mayor Jack Reed. "I think this is an excellent first step."
Reed presented a broad overview of the redevelopment project at a council work session last week. In Tuesday's executive session, the council learned the specific area as part of the discussion on the property acquisition.
The council will have to approve any purchases as well as the larger redevelopment project. Reed said he expects to publicly announce the neighborhood within a month.
Council members voiced different levels of support for the mayor's aims, but remained cautious about financing.
"I'm on board with making the city of Tupelo a better place to live," said Willie Jennings, Ward 7 councilman. "We want to make sure we look at the budget."
If the entire project is approved, the neighborhood redevelopment pilot project would pull $1.8 million from the unrestricted reserve fund as part of a $2.9 million project that Reed believes will uplift that neighborhood, stabilize adjacent neighborhoods and have positive economic effects.
The city has built up $18.3 million in unrestricted reserve funds. Municipal finance experts generally recommend cities keep reserves equal to the quarterly operations budget, Reed said. For Tupelo, that's about $8.5 million. On Thursday, Reed presented the redevelopment project and an expanded road repair budget that would use about $3 million of the reserve fund in total.
Ward 3 Councilman Jim Newell believes the city should aim for nine months of reserves – which would be more than $25 million.
"There's a small piece I can support," of the project, Newell said. "I'm very conservative when it comes to taking money from the city's rainy day fund."
Ward 1 Councilman Markel Whittington said he considers reinvesting in neighborhoods a top priority because it will increase the numbers of homeowners in Tupelo, thereby strengthening city schools.
"I think there are more creative ways to fund Jack's plan without affecting our reserves so much," Whittington said. "We don't want to be in a situation where we have to borrow money to cover city operations."
Council President Fred Pitts, who is running for mayor, said he's concerned the project is too ambitious to start during the last six months of the council's term.
"Overall, the project is good," Pitts said. "Is now the time to do it? Is this the way to pay for it?"

- Where Does Cuba Stand? Authored by Prof. Enrique A. Baloyra.
- In this report, the distinguished Latin American scholar Enrique Baloyra argues that Castro's current policy of "re-equilibration" is unlikely to succeed and that his options will increasingly boil down to two choices: One, he can deepen the process of government-led reform, or, two, he can continue the current policy, with growing chances of violence and turmoil. Baloyra suggests that since the former might jeopardize his hegemonic position, the latter is the more probable option. The future, in short, is likely to be grim.

Home > National Parks of Canada > Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, National Marine Conservation Area Reserve, and Haida Heritage Site > Park Management > Ecosystem Restoration > Yahguudang Dlljuu: A Respectful Act
Two kilometres of stream in three logging-damaged creeks on Lyell Island have already been restored as part of unique initiative that aims to restore stream ecosystems so that salmon populations can re-establish in an area that was once heavily logged and to ensure local youth learn how to take care of the land and sea.
Tllga Kun Gwaayaay (Lyell Island) is the site of the 1985 standoff where Haida elders stood the line to protest unsustainable logging on their traditional lands.
The 19,000 ha island was first logged in the 1920s, but intensive clearcutting carried out in the late 1970s and into the 1980s led to slope instability and landslides.
During that time, logs were skidded through streambeds resulting in the destruction of salmon-bearing stream habitat.
Gwaii Haanas staff and partners have built more than a dozen in-creek structures by dropping large woody debris into three streams: Sandy, Powrivco and Takelly Creeks.
The land around the creeks is also being restored and several hectares of forest have been thinned to emulate old growth characteristics and ensure that conifer growth provides a future source of woody debris for the streams.
Over the last three years, future stewards have learned about protecting the land and sea in Gwaii Haanas. In 2011, a group of students representing every school on the islands helped release fry into a Lyell Island creek and in 2012, a similar group helped move large woody debris to encourage the creation of salmon rearing habitat.
Chum (Oncorhynchus keta) broodstock are being collected from selected streams in the fall months and hatchery-raised to fry for release into restored streams in the spring. In 1985, the Haida Nation designated Gwaii Haanas as a heritage site under the Haida Constitution.
In July 1987, logging on Lyell Island ended when Canada and British Columbia signed the South Moresby Memorandum of Understanding.
In 1993, the Gwaii Haanas Agreement was signed and for the last 20 years the Government of Canada and the Haida Nation have been working cooperatively to manage the land and sea. By engaging community members and youth in direct participation in ecological restoration activities, and through engaging local schools in the salmon enhancement program, the project will foster an increased understanding of the importance of ecological integrity and the significance of Lyell Island to the people of Haida Gwaii and to all Canadians.
Since 2004, Gwaii Haanas has been working with a range of partners including the Council of the Haida Nation's Fisheries Program, the Hecate Strait Streamkeepers, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations as well as a range of community organizations. This project is funded by the federal government as part of Parks Canada's Action-on-the-Ground program, a nation-wide initiative that encourages Canadians to engage in activities that support conservation and promote the ecological integrity of Canada's national parks and natural and cultural heritage.

I dont have all my decorations up, and I dont have much shopping done. I havent done all my Christmas Cards, but maybe Ill make it by Christmas!
The WMU met at Patsy Grishams Monday night, December 3. We had a real good program. Patsy had her house decorated so pretty with 3 Christmas trees. She had delicious refreshments, one of the best fruit salads I have had in a while.
Tuesday night, December 4, at the Association Pastors and Wives Supper at Coffeys Fish and Steak, they really had a big crowd. Brother Billy Foley put a skit for them which I understand was a big hit.
We had 20 present for the Senior Adult meeting which was on Wednesday, December 5 and was held at Taylors. We exchanged Christmas ornaments by drawing a number. Malcolm was home and went with me, in fact, he took me, Sybil, and Clara Vance in the car, so we got two beautiful ornaments!
It is that time of year again, so Saturday night December 8, Adult Mens Sunday school class, taught by Keith Baker, went to Abbeville for their Christmas party. Seventeen people (wives were invited) went on the trip. Brother Louie and Melissa went with us. Marie Wilson was sick and didnt get to go. She was still sick Sunday.
Jim Black was having some tests Monday. Holly was going with him and Twanda. Jim is having Chemo and radiation. Twanda is hanging in there and the shingles are too.
Mary Ellen Bowling is going through re-hab following hip surgery.
Betty Carter is doing good.
Tom and Carolyn Freiday are not feel well. They have sinus infections.
Bubba Cobb is home from the hospital following surgery. He was at church but still cant drive.
Griffin Nelson is some better and is working a little.
Malcolm is having difficulties! The office lost the record of him coming in November for an eye check-up, so he had got to do it over! They said Are you sure you came?
My niece, Sandra Shirley Ethridge had many problems. Now, her husband Harold had to go on Kidney Dialysis. He is diabetic. Her daughter is also bad diabetic.
Stephen Harrell, Gingers husband is very sick with Pneumonia. Say a prayer for Stephen. We need him for our Cantata!!
Wesley Harrell, was sick again Sunday afternoon.
Elizabeth Hales grand-daughter (not niece), Amanda Ross Butlers head aches are much better due to the medicine they are giving her.
Terry Foley sang the Special Music Sunday morning. It was a new song (at least to me) and very pretty.
Brother Louies message Four Step Plan for a Spiritual Breakthrough was based on 2 Samuel 5:17-25. Good Sermon!
Sunday night we studied in the Church Membership book. All three choirs are working on Christmas music so we had no special music Sunday night.

Comments: Comfy and natural feeling! I appreciate that Asics has built their shoes with plenty of toe box depth, where other companies' shoes have made my toes feel strapped down. I also think Asics has the cushioning in the right places for a shoe of this flatness and weight, it doesn't get in the way while running. I also really appreciate the low profile style and colors that this shoe comes in; I was hard pressed to find a running shoe with the specs and comfort of the gel lyte that didn't look so obvious. The only thing that I feel would make this shoe better is a snugger heel and a slightly more snug midfoot, for my narrow heel and medium width forefoot. In comparison to other shoes, it has a wide fit that forced me to lace up using the extra holes while running. Otherwise, I am soo happy that Asics has made this shoe!
From: Erica, IN
Comments: I have found this shoe to be an excellent, light-weight daily trainer with good potential for racing. Nothing about the shoe feels cumbersome, but it offers good support and feels forgiving if you are logging many of your miles on roads. The stack height is substantial enough to protect your feet but low enough to encourage a midfoot or forefoot strike. I like the fact that it has a 7-8 mm heel-toe drop as well; my calves are on the tight side so this shoe is a perfect compromise because it is still fairly low-profile but safer for my tight-ish calves and achilles than some of the 4 mm drop shoes being made by other companies. Great job Asics!

Board a charter flight from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia, Argentina. Considered to be the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia is the capital of Tierra del Fuego, lying at the very tip of Argentina looking out over the Beagle Channel. This surprising little town of 45,000 people is surrounded by mountains and fertile plains. The first populations of this land were nomadic hunter-gatherers, who arrived on foot on Isla Grande more than 10,000 years ago. Nature lovers will be enchanted by the Tierra del Fuego National Park with its remarkable plant and wildlife, including beavers, albatross, guanacos and penguins. Here, forests cover the lower slopes of the Andean mountains which are crowned with snow-capped peaks - a unique and unforgettable sight.
In the evening, embark for your Antarctic voyage.
As you sail to the Falkland Islands, your lecture series will begin, educating you about the wildlife, environment and history of the Falklands, South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula. Sea birds may accompany your ship and provide excellent wildlife viewing opportunities.
Conquered, abandoned, recaptured and coveted, the Falkland Islands (Las Malvinas) had a romantic history until the war of 1982. This remote archipelago, near the tip of the South American continent is home to beauty that is unique in the world. The relief of these islands was carved over the centuries by the harsh and very windy climate. Yet, the Falkland Islands are home to a fantastic range of wildlife, the last sanctuary of the elegant albatross soaring graciously against the blue sky, with colonies of elephant seals basking at the foot of rocky cliffs.
Sailing to South Georgia, you will notice a drop in temperature as you cross the Antarctic Convergence, a natural boundary where the warmer waters of the north meet the cooler waters of the south, creating a zone abundant marine life where whales feed.
South Georgia is an unparalleled destination within Antarctica. This sub-Antarctic region is a peak emerging from the Scotia Arc, an underwater mountain chain that extends from the Andes to the Antarctic Peninsula. Salisbury Plain will be the arena for the most memorable and the most authentic display of nature. Formed by the withdrawal of the Grace Glacier, high mountains dominate time and space; the blue-tinged landscape demonstrates all the strength and beauty of the unspoiled nature all around. At the heart of this wildlife haven, on the beaches of the bay, a colony of approximately 250,000 king penguins has taken residence. In the midst of all these orange-headed couples, fur seals try to beat a path to feed with their young. Under the southern sun that lights this glacial plain, spectacular flocks of birds fly on the wind.
Visit Grytviken, a former Norwegian whaling station, and follow in the footsteps of the great explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton and visit the tiny cemetery where he is buried. After Roald Amundsen conquered the South Pole in 1912, Sir Ernest Shackleton turned his attention to what he considered to be the last great challenge in Antarctica: The crossing of the continent from the Weddell Sea to the Ross Sea via the Pole. To achieve this he organized the Endurance expedition. This expedition was dogged with bad luck and his ship, Endurance, was a prisoner of the ice for many months and was slowly crushed, obliging the crew to disembark. A series of adventures followed that would cement Shackleton's myth.
Explore Gold Harbour Island by Zodiac excursion. Everything you would expect to see is present at this site: magical landscapes, a majestic blue-tinged glacier, and waterfalls sparkling in the sun, pouring down. The beach here is made of volcanic black sand, heading out towards a milky blue sea. The beach swarms with wildlife, colonies of king penguins, fur seals and elephant seals.
As you voyage farther south, ever nearer to the Antarctic Peninsula, your expedition leaders and naturalist guides continue their lecture series, expanding your knowledge of this unique part of the world.
Visiting Antarctica means exploring the largest, wildest and most extreme of all the continents; discover a land dominated by white, a mysterious stretch of ice with seemingly infinite nuances of color. At the gateway to this final frontier, surrounded by the vast expanse of sea ice, get as close as possible to the most unspoiled nature, composed of millions of animals living in vast colonies. Set off to meet peaceful penguins, the emblem of these icy regions, and journey through their colonies with their constant movement to and from the sea. During your trip, you may encounter majestic humpback whales whose huge and powerful blue tail fins pound the surface of the water. Dependent upon sea and ice conditions, your expedition explores a variety of destinations, including Deception Island, Half Moon Island and the Weddell Sea.
A lengthy sail in the Weddell Sea will allow you to experience true silence, an extraordinary and enchanting atmosphere of unrivaled calm. Discover a secret reserve of preserved treasures: fur seals, penguin colonies, wandering albatross and other giant petrels. Here the huge icebergs and endless ice cap sculpt a landscape beyond compare. The lord of the manor is known as the Weddell Seal. It is a record breaker, able to remain submerged for more than an hour. Its pelt is dark grey with a spotted belly. To maintain access to the sea and ability to fish, the Weddell Seal has special teeth allowing it to make a hole in the thick ice.
Nestled at the heart of the South Shetland Islands, in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula, Deception Island is easy to recognize for its horseshoe shape. This island was once an active volcano whose crater collapsed some 10,000 years ago, producing a caldera which was then flooded by the sea, creating a natural port. Entrance to the port is via a narrow channel called Neptune's Bellows. For a long time, this was an important whaling port and the intensity of this activity has left traces that have withstood time. On the black sand of the volcanic beaches, there are remains of abandoned huts that have been overrun by the extraordinary wildlife. It is on these beaches of ash that the largest colony of chinstrap penguins in the Antarctic Peninsula has taken up residence. Excursions aboard Zodiac will allow you to set foot on this expanse of land where more than 100,000 pairs of penguins nest.
Crossing the Drake is a rite of passage and concludes your journey to the White Continent. Located exactly between the southern tip of South America and the Antarctic Peninsula, the Drake Passage extends over 800 kilometers from Cape Horn to Livingston Island. You may have plentiful wildlife viewing opportunities, provided by sea birds such as petrels and albatross that follow in your wake. Return to Argentina as you reflect on your Antarctic adventure with fellow passengers.

This is full of wonderful information...I can't wait to see your next post. What I like so much about this, is that even though this is your history in NC, this is also all "our" (African & Indian) history in North Carolina. We are a great people and I love this...History we should all know.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for your comment. I know what you mean. There is so much history that we are just not taught and now with the internet, it's a blessing that we can all take part in passing information on and continuing our educations.ReplyDelete
I really appreciate this article. I am researching my grandfather, William Sutton, and I am so proud of his accomplishments.ReplyDeleteReplies

|In response to Re: Piston Water Pump
: To give you instructions on what to do to set the pressure, one requires an idea of how the system is arranged. Is the piston water pump connected to and powered by an electric motor which shuts itself down? If so, does the electric motor receive its power through a water pressure sensitive relay? If so does the water pressure sensitive relay also receive an air pressure signal from an expansion tank? If so, does the air pressure gauge on the expansion tank read 20 pounds per square inch or better? If not, then the air expansion tank has developed a leak in the diaphragm and has become waterlogged. The piston pump pressurises water against the expansion tank which contains an internal elastic diaphragm, which in turn expands against the tank and squeezes air (or sometimes nitrogen) against the gauge. When adequate pressure is reached, the air pressure switch opens, and upon opening, disconnects electrical contact for the pump motor. If the diaphragm leaks, adequate air pressure can't get squeezed, and pressure won't build, so the switch won't disconnect power to the motor, so it runs (electrically) till it overheats.The electric motor has a protective reset switch inside it to keep it from starting fires, and when it cools, it can restart, since the diaphragm hasn't disconnected it's power yet, and the cycle continues.
: You need to ascertain that the diaphragm is good or bad. Assume its bad.There is a serial number and a plate with the manufacturer's name on the expansion tank somewhere. Call a company called Grainger's (or a local well driller or the tank manufacturer) for a price for a new tank and diaphragm and air/water pressure switch. Replace what you have, replace the wires in the same position they are removed from, and the pump will work fine.BE Careful of the electrical.....if you aren't sure, get help, or e-mail me for help.
: : I have an ols piston water pump at my camp. It works really well except the pressure isn't set correctly. It comes on all the time and the water comes to fast. Also with it running this way as it recycles it shuts itself off uuntil it cools down. it wasn't always like this. I would like to adjust it myself. Can you give me some instructions on what to do? Thanks Jean Dobson

Saturday keeps getting better for 11-0 Notre Dame, which remained perfect with a 38-0 win over Wake Forest.
The Irish, one of three undefeated teams left standing in the championship race, can sit back and watch BCS rivals Oregon and Kansas State struggle in the early going against Stanford and Baylor, respectively.
Kansas State trailed 14-7 to Baylor after the first quarter. The Wildcats came into Saturday allowing 17.7 points per game, the 14th-best mark in the FBS.
USC: Are the Trojans the most disappointing team in recent history?
Baylor would add to that advantage, taking a 28-7 lead with consecutive scores before KSU moved its way back into the game late in the first half. A quick-strike, 63-yard touchdown drive cut Baylor's lead to 28-14 with 1:58 left in the half. After Baylor punted back to KSU, Collin Klein led the Wildcats to a field goal as time expired to make it a 28-17 game after 30 minutes.
Yet there were significant issues for Snyder and his staff to address. For starters, Kansas State's defense seemed out of sorts. The Wildcats as a team were also playing uncharacteristically sloppy football: KSU racked up 40 penalty yards in the first half. Coming into today, KSU led the nation in averaging only 25.1 penalty yards per game.
For a time, the two scoring drives seemed to change the entire complexion of this game. But continued sloppiness has robbed KSU of any momentum; sloppiness has also robbed KSU of its shot at playing for the national championship, should Baylor not collapse over the game's final 13 minutes.
The Bears owned the third quarter, outscoring KSU 24-7 and taking a commanding 52-24 lead. The Wildcats have hurt themselves on offense, turning the ball over several times, and would need to force several turnovers of their own to have a chance to climb out of a 28-point hole.
Notre Dame watches on, knowing that it will move into the top two of this week's BCS poll should Baylor hold off KSU in the fourth quarter.
Meanwhile, Stanford struck first against Oregon, taking a 7-0 lead in the second quarter following a one-yard touchdown run by quarterback Kevin Hogan.
Oregon had a chance to get on the board in the first quarter, but coach Chip Kelly opted to go for it on fourth-and-2 from inside the Stanford 10-yard line. Quarterback Marcus Mariota's run up the middle gained nothing, handing the ball back to the Cardinal.
After Stanford tried and failed to convert its own fourth-down try in Oregon territory in the second quarter, the Ducks responded with a three-play, 59-yard drive to tie the game at 7-7. It was the same score as the two teams went into the locker rooms at halftime.
The Ducks are outgaining the Cardinal 232 yards to 213, but Stanford has more first downs, 13 to 8. Stanford has been able to control the clock by running the ball effectively and converting on third down.

Opposition Motion--Canadian Wheat Board

The hon. member for Windsor West.
Opposition Motion--Canadian Wheat Board
Business of Supply
Government Orders
1:50 p.m.
Brian Masse Windsor West, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to speak to the motion from the member for Churchill discussing a central principle of democracy, which is people having their rights, especially having their rights respected. It is bound from a tradition of legislation that has been duped by the government and usurped by the people who have the vehicle of the Canadian Wheat Board as part of their conditions of doing business and their investments, not only in terms of their businesses but their families.
It is important to note that Canada's current challenges stem from a lot of different issues related to our massive geography, our disperse population and a very diverse group of individuals and people across this country with different interests. In the 1920s, the farming community felt enough need to band together to create a collective to be able to compete in the open markets with the wheat product they were providing. It is important because there was motivation at that time to do so, which came about from their personal experiences and their understanding that if they could come together as a collective, at times it would be to their advantage.
We do that even to this day in many respects, and we have in this country in many other fora. The credit unions are an example. When it became impossible for the farming community or others to get access to credit that was reasonable and fair, people got together. Still to this day, in cities we have collectives of financing, accounting and services in the banking industry because the profits then go back to the people. They understand that together they do much better than they do alone.
We also do this when we form cities, municipalities and towns. Instead of having independent police or fire departments, everybody understands that if we work as a collective and pay a fee for this, then we will get that service and that insurance. This is about respecting a tradition that was set up in the 1920s.
In 1943, they went to the single-desk marketing. The legislation that was created for the Canadian Wheat Board calls for it to have vote if it wants to dissolve or change the concept that it has now. To be clear, this board does not bring in a profit for itself. It has democratically elected its members, ten of whom come from the farming community and four of whom are appointed by the government, and it chooses a chair. That is critically important because in the legislation from the government, it would not allow the democratically elected farmers to remain on the Canadian Wheat Board. It would appoint its own people to dismantle it and it would not allow the elected farmers to make those difficult choices, even if they did not want to and are forced to have this legislation.
The member for Churchill should be commended for this motion because it goes to an important piece, not only behind the Wheat Board, but understanding that legislation that was a protectiveness chamber, that was here and there are expectations toward it, would be dismantled. That could set a pattern for other legislation. The government is saying that it says that but that it will disregard that altogether.
The member also needs to be commended because there has been a plebiscite with 63% of farmers saying that they would like to keep the Canadian Wheat Board. The farmers have had their vote and they were very clear on that mandate. The Conservatives often talk about having a clear mandate from the Canadian people when they only had 38% of the vote. That is unacceptable. Their 38%, which we hear daily in the House of Commons at question period, ad nauseam, seems to make some type of a mandate for an absolute majority of everything from legislation to discourse that happens not only in this chamber but also in our committees. However, the reality is that Canadian farmers were far louder when they said that they did not want to dismantle the Wheat Board.
When we look at some of the economics of this, with an economy that is fragile right now, world markets in a turmoil and a great deal of uncertainty coming up, why would the government actually do this without an action plan? There has been no study or analysis. We do that as a regular business. Cities and towns do that before making multi-million dollar contracts, awards and services. However, meanwhile, we would have billions of dollars tied up in the future and we are not even seeing an economic analysis presented before us, which is unfortunate because it shows the reckless abandon of ideology that the Conservatives have and the reckless nature of their intent to ram this through as fast as they can. I believe they want to do so because of electoral timing. They want to tear down the Wheat Board and bring in the different changes that will take place before the next election.
Once again, farmers have been out there saying that they would prefer to keep this as the particular option right now. There could be a further debate among farmers about what they want to do. I know in Ontario they had that debate and they had that choice. However, they had that debate first, which was much more effective than what is taking place here.
All the member for Churchill is doing is defending the rights of those individuals who have the system in place that they have invested in. They have invested their families, their money and their lifelong interest into their farms and to have that thrown to the wind without an economic analysis and without the due diligence necessary is completely unacceptable.
It is important to go back to the 63% of people who responded. There has been a debate about the type of plebiscite that took place and the different types of problems that they faced. We should go to the suggestion by the member for Churchill to have that educated, earnest attempt to let farmers understand the consequences of what is going to take place, to know them and to face them in a very strategic way. However, we need to do so in a responsible way before we undermine ourselves, our country and our farmers, especially when they have the right to make the destiny for themselves, not have it imposed on them by others.

Parm Gill Brampton—Springdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, tomorrow is a special day for Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists. Tomorrow marks the holy day of Diwali, the Festival of Lights. It is a joyous celebration of good over evil, light over darkness.
The foundation and meanings of Diwali can be shared by Canadians of all faiths. This holy day is often observed with the lighting of an oil lamp, the setting off of fireworks and the generous giving of gifts and sweets. These traditions bring families, friends and loved ones closer together under the values of peace and friendship. Diwali is a time that reminds us all about the incredible contribution toward this great country by Indo-Canadians.
I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of my constituents of Brampton—Springdale, to extend my most sincere best wishes for a happy, healthy and joyous Diwali to all those celebrating around the world.
Status of Women
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Jonathan Genest-Jourdain Manicouagan, QC
Mr. Speaker, last week there was an article in a weekly paper in my riding about the status of women in Fermont. The article confirmed what everyone already knows: violence; verbal, physical and sexual abuse; geographic isolation and distress are commonplace for women in Fermont.
During a recent visit to my riding, I witnessed the extent of the social tragedy currently playing out in Fermont when I met with staff at the shelter that provides assistance to women. This centre has seen a 300% increase in demand for its services over the past year. The cost of living in the region has also increased.
These women have had enough. I am calling on the Minister for Status of Women to come up with a contingency plan and concrete assistance measures for isolated regions experiencing an economic boom, in order to fund projects that provide a safe place and housing for women. The women of Fermont also have a right to health as well as physical and economic safety.
Norman Lalonde
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Guy Lauzon Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have some very sad news to tell this House. Cornwall's own "Mr. Canada" has died. Norm Lalonde, who single-handedly began Canada Day festivities in Cornwall, has, unfortunately, passed away.
In the early 1970s, Norm took it upon himself to celebrate Canada's birthday. He gathered together about 200 residents, cooked some hot dogs, let off some fireworks and led everyone in the singing of Canada's national anthem.
From that very humble beginning, Norm grew this event into one of the largest celebrations in eastern Ontario. Today, crowds of 25,000 to 30,000 proud Canadians regularly turn up at Lamoureux Park on July 1 every year to celebrate Canada's birthday.
We owe all this to "Mr. Canada", as Norm was affectionately known in Cornwall.
Our condolences go out to his wife and greatest supporter, Thérèse, and his children, David, Patricia, Stephen and Norm Jr.
God bless Mr. Canada.
Rick Hansen
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Justin Trudeau Papineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday marked the kickoff of the 25th Anniversary Relay in honour of the Rick Hansen Man in Motion World Tour. Some 7,000 participants will retrace the Canadian portion of the gruelling journey completed 25 years ago by an extraordinary man who wanted to make the world a better place, inspire Canadians and help people with spinal cord injuries.
This relay will remind us all of the importance of investing in research for effective cures to help improve the lives of thousands upon thousands of Canadians.
Rick Hansen has been an exemplary role model for our society, having inspired so very many of us to surpass ourselves over the past quarter century. It is with profound admiration and gratitude that we recognize today the depth of his contribution to Canada and to medical research around the world. With that in mind, this year, relay participants will proudly carry the Rick Hansen Medal as it makes its way across the country.
I wish everyone involved with the Rick Hansen 25th anniversary relay tremendous success.
Capital Experience

Barry Devolin Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock, ON
Mr. Speaker, there is a special group of students in Ottawa today participating in a program I call a "Capital Experience", wherein student leaders from each of the seven high schools in my riding come to Ottawa for three days each year to learn about career opportunities in public life.
They have visited Parliament, the South Korean Embassy, Amnesty International, the Department of Foreign Affairs, the press gallery, the University of Ottawa and Summa Strategies.
I wish to thank those who shared their time with these students and thank the businesses and services clubs that sponsored them.
Today, I welcome to Parliament: Katelyn Lloyd and Iain Sullivan from Brock; Chad Leroux and Matthew Steele from Crestwood; Meredith March and Amber Wilson from Fenelon Falls; Samantha Brixi and Puru Shah from Haliburton; Samantha Thompson, Alec Becking and Dan Lowe from I.E. Weldon; Megan Connell and Mandi Manderson from L.C.V.I.; Courtney Kavanagh, Keira Mann and Robert Ridenaur from St. Thomas Aquinas; and Kali Tucker from Apsley.
I ask my colleagues to join me in wishing these young people all the best as they make decisions regarding their future careers.
Jean-Marc Aubin

2:05 p.m.
Claude Gravelle Nickel Belt, ON
Mr. Speaker, for over 30 years, Jean-Marc Aubin has been an ardent defender of education rights for francophones and has dedicated himself to developing French-language services.
Mr. Aubin was a founding member of Collège Boréal and president of the Association canadienne-française de l'Ontario. In the 1990s, he was president of the French language section and, under his leadership, that section carved out its own unique place in the region and in the province. Mr. Aubin is currently the chair of the Conseil scolaire public du Grand Nord de l'Ontario. He is always ready to bring forward innovative projects to benefit students and the francophone community.
In November 2010, he was awarded the Jean-Robert Gauthier prize for his outstanding contribution. In May 2011, he was decorated with the Ordre de la Pléiade, an honour bestowed by the Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie.
Mr. Aubin continues to focus on and promote the rights of Franco-Ontarians. I am pleased and very proud to rise today to congratulate Jean-Marc Aubin.

Devinder Shory Calgary Northeast, AB
Mr. Speaker, tomorrow, October 26, 2011, marks the celebration of Diwali, the Festival of Lights, and Bandi Chhorh Divas around the world. A holiday in India, Diwali symbolizes the victory of good over evil.
I would personally like to wish happy Diwali not only to people in India or people of Indian descent but to all Canadians. Canadians of Indian origin would like to thank their parliamentarians for sharing in the celebration of Diwali on Parliament Hill for many years.
This year as we celebrate 2011 as the Year of India in Canada, there is an opportunity to learn more about the richness of Indian culture. As Canada and India continue to forge closer ties economically, we also see the contribution the vibrant Indo-Canadian community has made to the fabric of Canada.
On behalf of the constituents of Calgary Northeast and my family, I wish all of my colleagues a very happy Diwali and Bandi Chhorh Divas.
Hunting Season
Statements by Members
October 25th, 2011 / 2:05 p.m.
Cheryl Gallant Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, fall is a special time of the year in Renfrew County. It is a time of traditional heritage activities as the days get shorter and the nights grow longer.
Farmers are finishing up with the fall harvest, loggers are preparing to go into the bush for the winter cut. It is a time for church suppers and getting caught up with neighbours at craft fairs and bazaars as we ready for winter and, best of all, it is hunting season in the Ottawa Valley.
For the first time in over 15 years, law-abiding sportsmen, thanks to our Conservative government, can look forward to doing what they have always done without the heavy, oppressive hand of big government on their shoulders.
There is a new attitude in Ottawa. It is one that respects the rights of individuals to enjoy lawful activities without passing judgment and constantly telling people what they can and cannot do.
In the great riding of Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke we value our freedom, and when it is fall, it is hunting season in the Ottawa Valley.
Community Care and Home Care

2:05 p.m.
Alexandrine Latendresse Louis-Saint-Laurent, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to rise today in the House to acknowledge the exemplary work of Aide à la communauté et services à domicile, a community care and home care agency based in my riding of Louis-Saint-Laurent that serves the entire greater Quebec City area.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of this non-profit organization, which in that time has served almost 15,000 people in need by providing them with almost one million hours of care. It has created almost 1,500 jobs, not to mention all the young people it has reintegrated into the workforce. Today I am proud to recognize their contribution to our society.
Community groups play an essential role. To the extraordinary people who are the backbone of our society, people like Linda Couture, the founder and managing director of this care agency, and her entire team of dedicated employees and volunteers, we wish a happy 25th anniversary.
Multiple Sclerosis
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
LaVar Payne Medicine Hat, AB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to draw the attention of the House to 20 Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada staff and volunteers who are in Ottawa today to raise awareness on the importance of continued MS research in Canada.
MS affects thousands of Canadians and is a disease for which there is presently no cure. This disease knows no bounds. It affects young and old, male and female alike. It not only affects people living with the disease but also their families and caregivers, health care professionals, researchers and people who fight against MS.
Our government is investing in research such as funding and developing an MS monitoring system, providing new tax support for caregivers, and working closely with provincial and territorial governments, medical associations and the MS Society of Canada.
Close collaboration will help ensure that people living with MS and their caregivers get the support and advice they need to ensure they have the opportunity to participate fully in all aspects of life.
I encourage all members of the House to support programs that more directly meet the needs of the people affected by MS today and advance research to help us find a cure for tomorrow.

Mr. Speaker, Diwali is an opportunity for all of us to reflect on the past year, to look forward and plan for the future with renewed optimism. Many people in my riding of Newton—North Delta, including myself, will gather with family and friends to give thanks, to celebrate and to contemplate.
Diwali, the Festival of Lights, celebrates the light within each of us as we welcome the coming new year. It is a time where hearts are filled with joy and minds look forward to the bright new future.
Every Canadian can share in hope for the future. We pride ourselves on our openness and we strive to build an inclusive society.
We are not there yet. We must draw on the good within each of us, to open our hearts and minds, and increase our understanding of one another. At this time, let us all recommit to this goal.

Lois Brown Newmarket—Aurora, ON
Mr. Speaker, as the number of people suffering from chronic hunger and malnutrition grows due to crises resulting from conflicts, natural disasters and poverty, it is even more important than ever to help those in need.
Today, we welcome to Canada Josette Sheeran, executive director of the United Nations World Food Program, and I am proud that Canada is the second-biggest donor to the World Food Program.
For more than a half century, the World Food Program has been on the front lines of major food crises around the world, providing food to those who need it most. Today, the WFP is playing a crucial role in East Africa, using all means available to deliver food to the more than 13 million people affected by drought.
Canada and the WFP are working together to put an end to famine among the most vulnerable populations.

Skip to comments.Hillary Did The Right Thing And Said NO
Posted on 08/17/2012 10:06:45 AM PDT by Biggirl
Give Secretary of State, of the United States of America Hillary Clinton CREDIT for saying NO to the Vice President slot of United States of America President Barack Hussein Obama ticket, instead Vice President Joe Biden stays where he is.
Considering that the President Obama White House is now becoming a sinking ship, just like the ill-fated Titanic, SOS Clinton who is looking more and more at a possible 2016 run for the White House, WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH SUCH A SINKING SHIP. Seeing that this ship is even sinking even more with the addition to GOP/Republican candidate for the United States White House by Mitt Romney of United States House of Representatives Paul Ryan (R/WI) to the ticket as his Vice Presidential choice, and the interest and support for both Mr. Romney and Rep. Ryan has increase since last Saturday, it is not surprising that SOS Hillary just said NO to the VP slot.
I say GOOD JOB Hillary, you KNOW that President Obamas effort to try to add you to that position was simply and that it would be an act of a very desperate President and man. Let this sinking ship sink, and take your life back. Besides it is well-known that there is no love lost between the Clintons and the Obamas. So in other words, THANK-YOU SOS for say NO.
If Romney wins, how does Hillary stay in the spotlight for the next four years?
In 2016, we'll have to remind black voters how Hillary turned her back on Obama in his hour of deepest need. It's racist.
Consider for a moment Richard Nixon, 1962 to 1967, he suffered two devastating losses, yet rose again in '68 to become President. He spent those years in NYC, close to the real power people behind the scenes.
Hillary is well positioned to both hob knob with the real power and stay in the public limelight through various means: TV, public appearances, as a 'talking head' etc. She is banking on an Obama defeat, count on it.
I like the way you think.
By pushing her unqualified daughter. Hillary is slippery and will do anything.
So is Soros and others.
In 2016, well have to remind democrats how Hillary turned her back on Obama and the party in their hour of deepest need. It was pure selfishness on her part.
It's also their next step on the road to serfdom uh communism. Sure hope Romney/Ryan are who they say they are.
Hillary can't stomach the thought of a black man in the White House for another four years. It's racist.
Could you elaborate?
Obama honored Hillary by making her Secretary of State, and this is how she repays him? Such disloyalty! Such racism!
Like Don Vito said: "keep your friends close and your enemies closer"
I think Hillary will run for president in 2016. Huma Abedin will be her VP. Would love to get fresh news from the freepers. I just started a site called http://cramerchronicles.com/...
The Chicago machine is in a total panic over the wipeout that will be slow Joe getting waxed by Ryan in the debate....that will be the final stand for the Obama regime...
We were tossing out ideas of how we could frame this situation to alienate black voters from Hillary in 2016. The Hillary was disloyal line could work, but not if you preface the whole thing with "SOS was not an honor."
No doubt the press will continually mention that had Hillary been on the ticket this time around, that Romney wouldn't have won. Other than being appointed to a vacated Senate seat from NY (Cuomo could appoint her), she'd have to start appearing regularly on the Sunday morning programs, or she'd have to take a job as an analyst with one of the tv networks.
If all the Dems can come up with in 2-3 years is Hillary, then they're more desperate than I thought. Unfortunately though, the Dems don't look to qualifications when picking their candidates. They rely on the diversity factor. She's about the only well-known female Democrat out there at the moment. Her Senate record isn't anything to brag about, nor is her time as Secretary of State anything to write home about. If anything, her and Obama have made our standing in the world even worse, and appeased the terrorists around the globe. Bush ended up with the results of the security lapses under Clinton. I pity Romney, because he will have to deal with what Obama and his minions have wrought.
Hey that's not fair! Chelsea is just as qualified as her mother.
The article link from Drudge said that Valerie Jarrett broached the topic of Hillary replacing Biden during a "policy" meeting with HIllary. I guess Obama couldn't even ask her himself. He was more than likely on the campaign trail. It's obvious who's running the country...and it ain't Obama.
Would you buy a ticket on the Titanic if you knew about the iceberg?
Just last week, Chelsey was talking about running for some office so you can bet Hillary will be right there with her. She'll do what her lovining husband did and go on book tours and speaking engagements.
It's been said he would support Romney. Also, he will hedge his bets.
In about 2 hours, we may find out Slow Joe's replacement.
Hillary would have helped President Obama had he been white.
This election will represent such a monumental defeat for liberalism that I'm not sure even Hillary will be able to run. In the next four years repercussions of Obama's foreign policy will continue to accrue, and Hillary will be tainted.
The stench emanating from this presidency will cause the Democratic Party to have to coalesce around more centrist pols, if one can be found. My guess is that the party will beg Evan Bayh to get back in, or perhaps even someone like Mark Warner from Virginia.
