Log in to share your thoughts Re: I'm really losing patience with my daughter's temper tantrums. Any suggestions? Temper tantrums by definition are an explosion of rage and frustration, when a toddler completely loses power over her emotions. Most toddlers are more susceptible to tantrum behavior when they're tired or hungry -- when they're already grumpy and not thinking clearly. So the best way to prevent tantrums is to keep your toddler well-rested and well-fed: Nip them in the bud with a nap, a snack or another distraction when you suspect one is brewing.When your daughter is mid-tantrum, there are a few ways to calm her down faster. First, a don't: Don't bother trying to reason with her. You won't get anywhere, and it will most likely spin her even further out of control. Instead of explaining why she can't have what she wants, relate to her -- even if it seems counterintuitive. Calmly tell her why you understand why she would feel angry or frustrated. Make her feel like she is absolutely justified in being so upset. Eventually her emotions will evolve from anger into sadness, which is a solid step towards the tantrum's conclusion -- and happier feelings. The Bump Editors How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? One great things about toddlers is that their attention spans are not that great. I've started basically ignoring my daughters tantrums. Although they are not bad, they are frustrating. She yells at the top of her lungs when she doesn't get something she wants. So, I simply tell her firmly that she's not getting her way and yelling won't change that, then I walk away. After a few minutes she calms down and moves to something else. I'm winning these small battles more and more these days. I think I'm more proud of myself than my LO! We're also having less of these battles, so I think it's working. missjessy24 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? My 22 month old threw the hugest fit at the grocery store last night. I let her push her own mini cart, but she kept going her own direction, running into things and putting stuff in the cart. When I touched the cart she would yell at me tell me no! (She's normally very helpful and listens well!) After 2 warnings I took the mini cart away and put the groceries in my cart as she started wailing! I picked her up and tried to continue my shopping while she threw a tantrum in my arms. An older lady told me I should take her outside and expressed that no one wanted to hear my child scream..I was completely bewildered and unsure of what to do! I continued shopping and she continued screaming until I grabbed a bag of pretzels and gave her some, she got into the cart and happily munched away through the rest of the shopping trip. Generally I reserve timeouts for big no-no's and it seems that usually ignoring the fit and then discussing the issue once she's done works best; but should I have taken her to the car for a time out? I was so embarrassed and had never had this situation get this far in public before! aagghhhh!! samrose25 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? Basically you've placated your daughter and allowed her to think her behavior was OK. In the end you rewarded her tantrum with a treat? It's not always convenient to be a mommy but I think taking her to the car for a time-out may help this issue in the future. I understand how embarrassing this can be (we've all been there) but what did your child really learn from this experience? Chenani | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? My son is just starting to throw little tantrums. I would have told that lady to mind her own business. But yes I would have let me cart, groceries and all in the isle and walked out with her. Taken her to the car until she calmed down, explained to her how much upset mommy. If she didn't calm down in the car I would have just left the grocery shopping for another time. Every mom will have this experience and I'm sure there were other moms in the store empathizing with you and not everyone is a rude as that lady. Jriddle29 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? When my oldest was about 2yo we left the store due to a temper tantrum. She is now almost 6 and we haven't had a melt down since. I agree with just leaving the cart unless it is an extreme situation and there is something you can't leave without. firstname.lastname@example.com | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? Yes, we have all been there. I can't stand those old ladies who act like they have never had a naughty little monkey act out in public. We all know it is a bunch of bologna. It is terribly inconvenient, but I have just walked out of a store before. If they are throwing a fit and there is really nothing else you can do to reason with them, maybe you have to take them out of the situation. I wasn't able to get my laundry soap which made me a little irate, but letting them get away with that kind of behavior just tells them that if they keep pushing you will just give in. It will get better. At least that is what people keep telling me. My big boy is almost five and the situation I am referring to happened just a few weeks ago. Grr.... saranewgz | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? that's when online grocery shopping is worth the shipping & delivery costs! ivyshek | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? Dear Samrose25, I have definitely been in your shoes. As a single parent, the only way I can get to the store alone is if I get a babysitter. I have never left my groceries in the store. After all, I'm just going to have to turn around and go back there. I usually give my son something to do while we shop to prevent the tantrum from starting (he has a leap frog leap top reserved only for the car and the supermarket). If he does start to have a tantrum, I just have to strap him down and listen to the screaming. Now that he can undo the seat belt, I have to hold his leg with one hand and push the cart with the other. It's awful, but it's the supermarket, not a library or a movie theater. I figure he will outgrow it. I go to the store when it opens on Saturday morning so that the lines are short and there are fewer people around if we have a total melt down. I hope this helps. alexismcbrayer | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? I have a 20mo, and I have definitely felt the tantrums start to grow a bit. I am sorry that lady had the NERVE to tell you something. It's like seriously, I agree, you weren't at a library. Ugh, you must have just wanted to snap at her. But it is frustrating to give in to either your child or to that little old lady. But I agree that expressing your disappointment to them will help them see the difference in the future and possibly understand the consequences of their behavior. They may seem small and that they don't understand, but they totally pick up on that stuff. I too ignore my daughter when she throws fits, or when we are at home, if she is wailing, I jokingly wail along with her to show her how silly she is acting. She usually calms down after a few pretend wails. :) itzybrat | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? I usually just ignore my son's tantrums. He is quite vocal when it comes to not getting his way. After about a minute or less of ignoring him he just stops because he isn't getting the attention that he wants and moves on to something new. I remember my mom telling me one time that in the grocery store I threw a major tantrum on the floor kicking and screaming. She told me she got down on the floor next to me and proceeded to do the exact same thing...I never had another tantrum out in public again. Lemons28 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? Samrose25....funny, but you may have actually taken your child out of the store...but because that woman made that comment, perhaps you wanted to prove a point. Dont let other people's stupidity bother you. We've all been there. I have 3 boys under 6 1/2 years of age! fedratam | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? Well, my daughter is only 7 mo so I haven't quite gotten to that stage yet but from watching Supernanny and watching lots of my friends deal with these exact same situations, I have noticed that in some cases (depending on the child) ignoring them can work. Once the child has calmed down, take them in your lap and explain why they couldn't have whatever it was they wanted. The other tactic I have seen is like the other moms said, remove them from the situation after ONE warning and giving them a time out. If they do not calm down soon and start to behave to the point you can go into the store and resume your shopping, just go home. I have personally seen a mom not deal with her child's temper tantrum while in line at Target and even though I have a child it made me uncomfortable and I felt that she needed to handle it. I wouldn't want to subject other people (if I could help it) to my daughters screaming either. I think the lady that spoke to you should have kept her feelings to herself because it just adds fuel to the fire. You are embarassed enough already but at least I think now you have some tools to deal with the situation. Good luck! mdhohenshelt | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? I'm not sure if I was just lucky but when my now almost 8 year old daughter would start a tantrum (which didn't happen that often) I would pick her up and hug her or kneel down and hug her and talk her down from it. I'd tell her to take a deep breath and look at me and I'd take deep breaths with her until she'd calm down. It'd only take seconds for her to regain control of her emotions.. then we'd talk. Now we have a 9 week old... we'll see if it works this time around! shorty0717 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? I just had baby number five 7 weeks ago and have yet to experience temper tantrums. My eldest is almost 16 and when I had her I braced my self for the terrible two's and each baby after that I waited for it to come but it never did. I'm not bragging at all. I feel sorry for parents that I do see in the store struggling w/ tantrums. I try to do my part as a fellow-mom by smiling at them as if to say 'i feel your pain' or 'it's ok' and maybe waving or smiling at their little one. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for the parents. I'm def glad it isn't me. shawndancy | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? I have to disagree with telling a child he or she is justified in being so upset. Saying you understand why they're upset is fine, but telling them that it's okay to overreact just isn't a good idea, I think. And different methods work with different kids. When I was little, I'm told my grandparents dealt with tantrums using reverse psychology, LoL. They'd tell me I wasn't being loud enough and to cry louder and kick harder. I eventually just gave up, heh. claripossum | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? Well, shawndancy, what's the trick? My son is 6 mos. but I cringe at the thought of what seems to be the inevitable supermarket tantrum. Before I had a baby I stuck my nose up at "those moms", now I feel overwhelming empathy, like it can happen to the best moms!! bmcarr2 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? Recently I was shopping with my 3 yo and was getting him something special but throughout the shopping trip he kept being rude so I told him at checkout that he would have to earn it back when he was nice, that usually works, but today he threw a huge tantrum as we were walking out and while I was loading him in the car. I'm pretty sure someone called the cops on me! I buckled him in closed the door and stood outside until he calmed down and then explained to him that the way he acted was not ok and the rest of the day went really well. I have found that I loose more patience if I can hear the tantrum. So putting him in his room or in the car until he is calm helps me calm down faster too. breannacharles | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? Dude I got spanked when I was a kid. Never violently, but always out of love & just enough to make it sting so I wouldn't want to repeat the offense. I don't resent my parents at all for that, and I'm pretty sure it worked because even though my brother and I were far from perfect, people always commented on how well-behaved we were. Obviously you wouldn't swat your kid's bum in front of anyone (that would be humiliating for them) but I think taking them to a quiet spot and disciplining them and telling them why they got spanked and that you love them and lots of hugs and kisses is the way to go. I turned out fine! Although I'm sure it's not the easiest solution, I plan on doing the same with my son once he gets to that age. (I'm not looking forward to it though!!) IndieMum | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? Hitting your child for any reason is not okay. If your husband gave you a quick stinging swat just to keep you in line would you feel loved? N you would feel abused funny how that works isn't it? My advice for avoiding tantrums in the store is not shopping when they are tired or hungry. If they throw a tantrum anyway calmly take them outside until they calm down and talk to them about what made them upset and what would be a more appropriate response. Cuddles and love work better than ignoring them and it teaches them that you love them the same no matter how they are acting. drnkmrck | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? First to samrose25...The next time a stranger tells you how to parent your child... let them know how rude unwarranted and infuriating it is when you are already dealing with a hard situation. It happened to me once and I not so politely let the nosy non helpful woman know exactly who was in charge of the situation ME! As for the question at hand... I'm big on talking to my daughter as if she is an adult, because very soon she will be. I ask her why she's crying, screaming, acting out... I have to ask this question a few times until it gets through her emotionally fit...then we deal with it. She doesn't get what she's screaming for but she does get my understanding and attention and resolve. She's 15 months old and understands more than most people give her credit for. People usually think she's well past two when she calms quickly and responds to my questions. KJR2009 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? I personally do not see a problem with spanking either. My parents did it with all 3 of their kids, and never had a problem. I do believe spanking should be done only in one place (like the butt). I have a 20 month old and I use time outs, but she gets a spanking if she does something to hurt someone or herself (something more serious). I am a Christian so I truly believe it is important to punish correctly, and get to the root of the problem )Prov 22:15: "Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him."). Everyone has their own opinions and that is alright, I do not think there is just ONE way to fix tantrums or punish your children. Good luck mommies! momofgirls2 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? Well one thing to remember is that every child is different. Some Chldren may respond one way and the others another way. Keep in mind that when trying things to take care of these tantrums that everything someone tells u about thier child might not work on yours. cfoley2011 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? I don't have an answer, I have a question. I have a 18 month old boy. He throws terrible tantrums. He will hit anything that is around him if he doesn't get his way. I have tried time out, ignoring him, trying to talk to him, I have even spanked him on his butt (with his diaper on) and nothing phases him. I don't know what else to do. I am very nervous to take him to a store with me, because he might throw a fit and start hitting me. I need HELP!!!! I also have a 21 year old daughter that never acted like this. Is it the boys that act like this or what? bod6991 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? Umm...I think you are a liar, shawndancy. All kids have meltdowns at some point. Your kids may not have had enormous tantrums but they most certainly had their moments. Schoenbeck | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? Hi bod6991, I have found that when my son (who is now 3) would throw tantrums and it seemed like NOTHING would work, I would have to find something that he hated to snap him out of it. For him, this was kind of restraining him. I would basically put his arms down and hug him so he couldn't do anything. He hates being restricted and not having his arms free, so I would hold him in this position and repeatedly tell him that I would let go when he was ready to calm down and talk to me. I would do the same with timeout, make him go to it until he was ready to be nice, calm down, and talk about it. I have only had to do this a couple times because it really seems to work with him. Good luck, hope this helps. 18alyssa | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? I'll probably get a lot of hate mail for this, but spankings do have their place. I have discovered that my oldest son (almost 5) will throw a tanturm so we can go home. If we are in the store, removing him for a time-out is really just giving him what he wants-to go home so we can play. I have instituted the rule that we will complete our shopping. I usually start out ignoring the tantrum and walking away (while keeping him within sight). That will stop the first couple. If he continues to throw tantrums, we go to the warning system. After the second warning, we got the bathroom and get a spanking. The next one (and yes, there have been this many in one trip) gets another spanking and I tell Daddy. That usually solves it. I have to say, my son is very, very strong willed and is acting out because he has a new little brother. It has been a very trying 6 months (it started about 2 months b/4 little bro was born), but we are working thru it. Just keep working with your child to achieve success. DEWCHW | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? TO DMKMRCK as a parent who believes in spankings, I must correct you. Spanking is NOT hitting. We discuss spankings before they happen, they are warned and they are told that the reason they are getting a spanking is for disobedience and because Mommy loves you so much and wants you to be safe and obey. No one hits someone and tells them they love them. Spankings if used properly are NOT hitting. Don't get the 2 confused please. You cannot look down on parents who spank, you CAN look down on parents who hit. There is a difference, please be aware. asj3286 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? I agree with asj3286 and DWECHW - spankings are NOT the same as hitting and spankings DO have their place. I'm a new mom with a 1 yr old little boy. I'd like to think my LO is and will always be an angel. I also know this is wishful thinking. My LO constantly walks around "plotting" on what to get in to next. :-) He's still pretty little and I have no intentions of spanking at this stage. However, I do reserve that right for when he's older. I will not be that parent who has to abandon her grocery cart because my child is screaming/wailing and kicking his feet over an item I took from him or said no to. Even at this age, I prepare him for our trips to the store by talking to him before we hit the grocery store or Target or wherever it is we are going so he knows what to expect. He may not be able to talk back to me but he understands everything I say. I was always told that our children are direct reflections of us so if we are walking around in public ignoring and not controlling unruly behavior from our children, what does that say about us? jcmom32010 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? I cannot believe how many people I know that I know who have had a stranger come up to them at a store and tell them what to do with their kids. I once had someone come up to my children who were bickering and point in their faces and tell them that they were naughty. I put her in her place very quickly as I think everyone should. These are our children and everyone has a different parenting style and why would a stranger think they have a right to change that. As for the temper tantrums this is what I have found. My first was a tantrum KING! He could throw two hour tantrums with nothing that would help. I have since made sure that I keep track of what each one of four kids favorite toy and lovey is at any given moment so I know what will make the biggest impact when I threaten to take it away. I also FOLLOW THROUGH and they know I will. If I say no more blankie for the day in the store they know when we get home it is GONE for the day! silverfam | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? I too can not believe how people think that they can come up and give you their opinions about how to deal with your child. It's nosey and uncalled for. I mean who do they think they are? It's not as if your in a library or movie theater...in that case obviously we would remove our children from the situation. Personally, I was raised with the grocery store spankings. I agree with the above on spankings. Yes, they do not need to happen in front of everyone since that would on humiliate the child and yourself even more and also spankings are completely different than abuse. Obviously there are situations that spanking is not ideal but I disagree with those who talk down on parents for disciplining their OWN children. I have an 8 month old and yes, spankings will not be used for quite awhile with him, but it will happen someday. No, I am not looking forward to it but from my experience it works the best. And obviously if your child is still alive and kicking, and a very happy child, then you are more then capable of raising a child and should be able to discipline your child how you please and others who do not approve of it do not have to use your methods but they should keep their opinions to themselves in public. kjurden1314 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? Honestly, this has a lot to do with what you allow your child to do, and how you deal with them. Talking to your child like a baby with the "mommy doesn't like when you or mommy this, mommy that" doesn't work. If you want your child to act normal, speak to them normally. Don't baby talk your kid or they'll act like a baby, it's common sense. My sister cut the baby talk with her daughter when she was old enough to understand what Summer was telling her. For this reason, her daughter behaves very maturely in public. Granted, she'll still talk cutesy to her on occasion, for the most part she talks to her how I am talking to you. I've never seen a happier, more well adjusted child. Be firm with your kid, teach them respect. Parents don't teach kids manners or respect anymore, they try to reason with their kids, cut deals, negotiate...no, you are the parent your child is the child, you don't reason, you tell them what they can and cannot do and if they choose not to abide then make the consequences clear. Don't give them a reward for behaving, they should just behave in general. What you're teaching them is that good behavior is on a rewards basis. Why would they behave if they have no incentive? They should know that good behavior should be always and bad behavior comes with consequences and that's the bottom line. You can't be your child's friend, be a parent people stop coddling your kids, you teach them nothing and they will be sorely disappointed come later in life when they expect everyone to coddle them and it doesnt happen. amandabear1 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? And P.S., let's be real, but when you're out and about, do you really want to hear an out of control child? I think that's more rude than somebody saying something to be honest, if I wanted to hear that, I'd work in a daycare. If your kid cant control themselves in public then don't take them out in public until they learn some manners and you learn how to control them. amandabear1 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control?

Tate85 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? I would first like to respond to amandabear1, I agree with you as much as parents need to teach their children manners. As far as saying you dont want to hear a child throwing a fit in the store I understand that but you also have to think that maybe that child has autism, maybe that mom cant afford to get a babysitter, maybe that womans husband is deployed. I am a military wife and there are many times we do not get the luxury of having a helping hand. Also I have family and friends whose children have autism. Every child is different. Chrisanddannielle | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? I do not agree with Amandabear about anyhting but the manners. You never know the situation regardless of how much you think you know. You and that old lady from the grocery store should start a club, raising a child is not an internment camp. To each their own and unless there is some sort of abuse involved my advice to you would be to mind your own business. aannefrench | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? My son is now 19 months old and has just started to test the boundries with tantrums, mostly when we have to change activities or he's tired of being in the car. Although the worst was in target, he shimmied out of the seat belt and tried climbing out of the cart! So fer i've found the best results actually come from telling him a game plan before, if i say, we are going to play with dog for a few minutes, and then go in and make dinner, he isn't suprised when it's time to go inside and so far has come without a fight. For the car, i tend to make sure he has entertainment, a string cheese, music, we have a few toys that stay in the car, so they are always new and different from the ones he just came from, and for the store, i found the best way was to totally involve him in the act of helping Mama shop. He gets his own list, and a big crayon to mark off on. That way we check things off together, i let him put things in the basket and pick out flavors. he's been a much better kid, since i started including him in the activites rather than just toting him along. It might help... email@example.com | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? Leaving the store would be showing the child that they control what you do. That is silly. You are the parent, if your child is not behaving then take control and make her sit in her spot in the cart. If she screams she screams. Who cares? Tell all those old ladies that make comments to shove it and you will handle your own. When my daughter throws a big tantrum we start with the warnings. If the warnings don't work, then we do the spank in a private spot like the bathroom or an isle where no one is at. If its just a little tantrum I just ignore her and she usually quits. If no one else wants to hear it then maybe they should go to the store when children wont be there, there are better lines then anyway. kristenriley89 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? @amandabear1 Its hardly fair to say that if your child has tantrums then don't take them out. I agree with you about everything else but this is unfair. Just because your niece is good in public doesnt mean that every other kid is. And how are you suppose to teach your kid NOT to do something, if you never give them a chance to do it. Its aggravating to see parents doing nothing about the tantrum but you cant expect a mother to stay home all day for fear of a tantrum. Thats ridiculous. Afunky6 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? bod6991 I also have a 19mo old boy with uncontrollable tantrums. I am running out of ideas on how to handle him. He is normally a very sweet little boy but when he gets mad he screams, throws himself on the ground, kicks, hits, bites, you name it. When my intensity goes up by either correcting him, trying to restrain him or swatting his hand or butt, his intesity goes up also. I am praying that this is not a sign of things to come! I really want to stop this before it gets worse!. My best option right now when he gets out of control is to put him in his crib, close the door to his room and give him a time-out. He can't speak yet and I know that is part of the frustration. What should I do in a restaurant for example? I take him outside or to the bathroom, but he screams so loud that people can still hear him and they are looking at me like I'm abusing him! Help! sarahr1202 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? I have a daughter. She is 19 months old and for the past 2 weeks she had a lot of tantrums. I didn't now what to do so I asked my friend which gas a masters degree in curriculum and instruction and she gave me the same advices as in this article AudreySimpson | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? This could be a problem, especially if they do something in public.My friend went with her little girl to a Pageant Dresses For Girls and when she saw a dress she started crying that she wanted it but my friend couldn`t aford it so she left embaressed. ioana06 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? Hi , Well as a mere male and brought up 3 daughters had one or two bad moments . I decided after daughter number one gave me one more tantrum than i needed in the local shop it was time sort her out . So took her out side couldn't stop said bad behaviour off home we went . Being the first borne, was a little spoilt . So next time I was off to the shop just left behind but told her why. Told her that her tantrums were not on, and WHEN she was prepared to behave better I would then take her shopping with me . It took a wee while to get the message through but i refused to give in . From then on we set boundaries for our children and did our level best to keep them . Yes we did give the odd smack on the rump but it was very rare . As for interfering people , that is always going to happen some one ALWAYS knows better than you at those times. Just keep cool remove said child from the situation , set boundaries and keep them best you can and NO double standards . Every child is different and so is everyday with them but it sure gives you plenty to do . Enjoy them they grow up so fast ..Ianmfk Gran dad to four ianmfk | how-can-i-keep-my-childs-tantrums-under-control My baby is 13 mths and she explodes she won't stop until she gets what she wants how do I break her from thar coocoo23 | How can I keep my child's tantrums under control? My LO is 22 months and he's been throwing tantrums on and off, in public and at home but I've received many compliments on how well behaved he is. (I guess I'm doing something right) There are so many things you can try. It's not about sticking to what the books say. We get caught up in this circle of what's right and wrong and stop believing in ourselves. ..It's about deciding what you want to happen when you tell her to stop or when the answer is no...deciding what's best for your situation and your child. Be consistent with the course of action and also both parents and caretakers HAVE to be on the same page on what's allowed and what's not. Having said this I'm up to the point of (most of the time) when I remind him of the consequence he reacts positively and decides to obey. Repetition is the mother of retention. Being Consistent is key and when all else fails, take a deep breath, exhale slowly and pray if need be but DONT give in to the tantrum or your anger. This will give you enough time to gather your strength to follow through. Oh and one more note...watch what she's eating. I've noticed that certain foods and juices have a negative impact on his behavior. I've eliminated these from his diet and it does help. The healthier he eats the calmer he is. Hopes this helps!

Charles W. Grady
Holy and Creative Light, teach us to love this earth, our home. Together we live in one small house, even though to us it seems so large, with so many rooms. This quiet star, marbled blue and white, was hanging here and spinning in black space long before we came. Whole families, kingdoms, empires of teeming life arose and passed away before us. Now we are here, not knowing how or why. Slowly we have begun to learn about our house: how delicate, how self-contained, how easily torn apart! Holy it is, this bubble of rock, water, air—not to be consumed, nor smashed like the careless child's toy, but to be cared for and cherished, to be kept clean and livable for all the later tenants in their generations. Teach us to be servants of life, and not prideful masters. For we are caretakers and stewards here, with a great responsibility: to watch over the house, to savor its beauty, to breathe its air.
Eternal One, addressed by the human heart through many names, but never to be encompassed by any name, even the holiest: we would know more of ourselves within this hour. We would find more light, knowing dimly somehow that to be a human is, precisely, to be responsible. To feel shame at the sight of misery condoned; to feel shame when we hear of suffering shrugged away; to resist the inroads of arrogant wrong from whatever quarter; to struggle against oppression. We would stand up with quiet strength, and together plant our tree of justice and truth, our flower of mercy, our stone of understanding, our foundation for peace. May wonder and adventure, curiosity and humor, live in us always. May we search in faith for the green fields beyond the desert of this time, and look for the dawn coming over the sea's horizon rim, and for the stars beyond the dark. Amen.

I was impressed that we were up and running within 30 minutes of downloading the software. I dare anyone to find a product that is as easy to install, set up, integrate, and get into production.
- Evan Marks, Infrastructure Manager at COCC
Optimizing the network, systems, web and applications (within our Hybrid Cloud) are all critical to the health of our business, and SolarWinds' solutions combine to enable us to give us early warning of any developing problems.
- Damian Fasciani, Technology Services Manager at Realestate.com
SolarWinds' website monitoring software provides intuitive user experience testing with dashboards that display alerts and graphs for Websites on both sides of the firewall—no agents required! Drill into Website load times, user experience for complete transactions, page load speed by location, heaviest page elements, waterfall charts, and images not displaying as intended.
SolarWinds' website monitoring software proactively monitors web transactions from the end user's point-of-view. Easily monitor internal (behind the firewall), customer-facing, SaaS, and cloud-based apps, and get an at-a-glance view into the status of all monitored applications using a slick Web-based dashboard. Because website monitoring software is installed within your firewall, monitoring internal Web applications is secure. Even better, no agents are required!
SolarWinds' web monitoring software offers pricing that's a fraction of the cost of competitors, and licensing that's so simple, you can be up and running before other quotes hit your inbox!
SolarWinds' web monitoring software's simple pricing model means you can quickly lock down what your costs will be. Simply multiply the number of recordings by the number of locations you want to monitor from, and that tells you the total number of licenses you need. Click here to get a quote online.
Most software vendors claim their software is easy to use. But at SolarWinds, we take "easy-to-use" to a whole new level with our interface which is intuitive, customizable, and provides for easy troubleshooting with drill down capabilities.
A transaction recording is made up of individual pages (login, select item, checkout, pay, etc.), and SolarWinds' web performance monitoring software keeps track of each page as a separate event. When you monitor individual pages, you gain greater insight into the pieces that make up a transaction and where problems are occurring. It could be that the overall application completes as expected in a timely manner, but one of the pages takes longer than it should. If it's the final step/page in the transaction, customers could abandon at that critical point.

SolarWinds' web monitoring software allows you to test the user experience from multiple locations (inside the firewall or in the cloud) to gain insight into the global user experience.
SolarWinds' website monitoring tool provides a wealth of performance data to help you identify and troubleshoot Website load time issues.
Web Performance Monitor integrates with SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM) and Network Performance Monitor (NPM) to identify whether performance problems are due to slow loading page elements or due to an issue on the Web or application server, database, network or application services.
The integration with SolarWinds SAM and NPM offers additional visibility that's required to ensure website issues don't affect end-user performance. Identify the root causes of performance problems in your websites and Web applications. This integration will allow users to:
With SolarWinds Web Performance Monitor, you can perform cloud-based transaction monitoring quickly, easily, and inexpensively. Finally, you can get the monitoring you need at a price that's just a fraction of the cost of expensive hosted monitoring solutions. Plus, we empower you to run synthetic transactions from Amazon EC2 whenever and wherever you want, putting you back in the driver's seat.
As system administrators, you monitor the health of websites and Web applications, whether they're internally hosted or developed, you can get extended visibility on whether application issues are caused by a CSS or JavaScript issue, a component failure or server hardware issues. Monitor systems and websites and ensure they're delivering the expected performance to users from multiple locations. Start monitoring page load time, Web component load times, and more.
SolarWinds Web Performance Monitor allows you to quickly and inexpensively deploy transaction players to Amazon® Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and run tests whenever you want with SolarWinds' website monitoring software.
Cloud-based transaction monitoring offers huge benefits if you have a mobile workforce or global clients accessing your Web applications or websites. By deploying SolarWinds Web Performance Monitor players outside of your on-premise environment and in the cloud, you can gain visibility into how these applications are performing worldwide – not just in your home office.
Quickly and easily record complex multi-step transactions with absolutely no tedious scripting involved with SolarWinds' website monitoring software.
Want to record user interaction without writing a complicated script? With SolarWinds® Web Performance Monitor, you can! The all new recorder makes monitoring transactions even more easier:
The recorder is built into a Web browser and requires absolutely no scripting. Simply push the "record" button and then record the Web transactions. When you have finished, click the "stop" button and save the recording to use on the player modules. That's it—it really is that simple!
Web Performance Monitor's Web-based reports makes it easy to generate reports on page load speeds, transaction health, website availability, and key performance metrics.
Web Performance Monitor provides reports to show overall availability and performance of websites. The simple interface facilitates modification of built-in reports, as well as easy creation of custom reports with the Web console-based Report Writer or any standard SQL reporting service.
Monitoring transactions are much easier with custom properties. Give additional structure to your transactions, create dynamic groups, account limitations, or create groups for various resources.
Web Performance Monitor allows you to create custom properties for transactions or recordings. For example, you can group transactions based on applications, business groups, or departments. Once a transaction or recording is selected you can use custom properties to filter or group transactions, create dynamic groups, report values, limit accounts.
SolarWinds Web Performance Monitor allows you to set custom thresholds for transactions and discrete steps.
The alerts and notifications feature of SolarWinds Web Performance Monitor enables you to set warnings and custom timing thresholds for individual steps and entire transactions. You are also automatically notified when a transaction fails, indicating an application failure. In addition, you can create escalation rules for notifications and how responses are handled. A complete history of availability and duration lets you spot any past problems.
SolarWinds Web Performance Monitor allows you to use the multi-tenant UI to monitor Web application performance for large deployments or managed service provider (MSP) environments.
With a built-in multi-tenant UI, you can leverage SolarWinds Web Performance Monitor for large, global deployments or MSP environments. The ability to monitor everything from one instance translates into lower hardware and software costs.
Navigate Web Performance Monitor's intuitive UI and see how you can identify slow Website load times by transaction, page, or location.
Web Performance Monitor Delivers the Power & Scalability You Need — With the Simplicity & Cost Savings You Crave!
Watch this short video and learn how WPM allows you to constantly monitor availability and response time from one location or locations around the globe. Find problems before your users do!
This is the first post in a series on how to get the most out of Web Performance Monitor. WPM is a powerful tool with some very useful features that might not be so obvious.
When IT professionals in the REA Group began to build a 90 per cent virtualised private cloud to accommodate realestate.com.au, Australia's leading web site for residential property, they chose a range of SolarWinds networking and application monitoring tools to help them. It was a critical project as the site attracts more than 20.4 million Visits a month. But SolarWinds' solutions helped the IT team to meet their 99.99 per cent uptime target and have also empowered engineers to make better informed decisions by delivering new levels of transparency and enabling better systems access
With nearly 1400 servers and more than 100 websites, web applications are vital infrastructure in COCC's thriving operation. Little wonder that issues accessing those sites received the highest level of attention in the company.
SolarWinds announced the latest update to its Server & Application Performance Management portfolio with the release of Web Performance Monitor (WPM) v. 1.5, which includes the new Cloud Player Portal.

These days, the smartphone and tablet computer are among some of the most popular and widely-used tools that exist in the world. It seems like just about everyone has some kind of advanced little smartphone in their pocket or purse, and they're basically just little tiny computers that just so happen to make phone calls at this point. It's tough to believe that before 2007, the modern smartphone as we know it today didn't even exist. The iPhone changed all that, however, and now we've got an entire market full of advanced smartphones that you might hope to pick from if you're thinking about upgrading your technology situation. Similarly, the tablet computer has taken the world by storm. We had always imagined that one day tablet computers would be developed to a degree that wind up giving them some serious usability. In 2010, Apple introduced the world to the iPad, and things haven't really been the same since. In just under three years, and entire tablet computer market has risen up and now consumers have a ton of choices if they're thinking about adding to their technology arsenals.
All of this crazy technological development of course means that there is an ever-increasing demand for applications and programs that users can install on their wonderful little devices. Apple's App Store software coined the phrase "There's an App for That," and this continues to be true of just about everything. If you want to do it, there's an application that can help you get it done. WhatsApp is one of the most popular of these such applications, and is used by millions throughout the world. The app is designed to allow users to send text messages for free, no matter what service provider is being used. This is great for international and cross-platform texting, but the application has come under fire for violating privacy regulations in both Canada and the Netherlands.
WhatsApp requires that users submit the details of their contact lists when installing WhatsApp, but this isn't the problem. Once the list is uploaded, WhatsApp actually retains the phone numbers of contacts who don't actually use the service, instead of simply deleting this information from any and all servers. Privacy laws in the Netherlands and Canada stipulate that this isn't OK, and that personal information can only be held if it's going to actually be used for the service.
Since WhatsApp is a very big deal, it's going to make some changes to its terms of service and hopefully appease these European courts. The app is used for everything from small business management to simple chatting among friends, so it will be smart for them to fix this apparent oversight. It's interesting to see the ways in which we're continuing to develop our technological capabilities. Apps like this one make it clear that as we get more and more connected, we've got to make sure that we're all respectful of others' privacy.

Pre-Existing Drugs May Restore Sensitivity to Leptin, an Appetite Suppressing Hormone
Hearts in the medical community beat with considerable excitement at the discovery of leptin in 1994. A hormone produced by fat, leptin has a very useful talent: it tells the brain when to stop eating. So hopes were high that leptin would become the basis of an anti-obesity treatment. What could be simpler than to dose an obese person with a hormone that says, "You're not hungry any more, and you want to stop eating."
Unfortunately, a snag soon emerged. Obese people do not respond to leptin. Scientists faced two mysteries: First, how do people become resistant to leptin in the first place? And second, are there any drugs that increase sensitivity to leptin?
Those questions have remained unanswered for a long time. But a Children's Hospital Boston study, published in the January 7 issue of Cell Metabolism, may have found the answers to both.
First, it appears that a stress-induced condition causes the hypothalamus, the region of the brain that responds to leptin, to resist the hormone.
Second, two drugs (4-PBA and TUDCA), which are already approved by the FDA for use in other medical applications, appear to greatly increase leptin sensitivity. The receptivity of lab mice resistant to the hormone increased as much as 10-fold when the two drugs were used as "chemical chaperones" to prime the mice for leptin injections.
The Boston study found that a condition called "endoplasmic reticulum" stress in the body's peripheral organs leads to leptin resistance. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a cellular component that produces proteins. Other cellular components, called "molecular chaperones," then fold the protein into its ultimate three-dimensional shape and transport it. When the chaperones can't keep up, a stress response is triggered, called "unfolded protein response" (UPR).
The researchers suspected that ER stress and UPR blocked leptin's action in the brain and were at fault for the hypothalamus's leptin resistance. Previous studies had already shown that mice bred to have ER stress were leptin-resistant and tended to obesity. Once the researchers ascertained that such was the case, they turned to an experimental drug therapy that involved using 4-PBA and TUDCA as chemical chaperones.
Currently, 4-PBA (buphenyl) is used to treat cystic fibrosis and urea cycle disorders, while TUDCA (tauroursodeoxycholic acid) is used to treat liver diseases. Both are also being studied for possible treatment of Alzheimer's and Huntington's diseases. Because both drugs are already FDA-approved, the researchers believe that it will be easy to move them quickly to human trials.
A side benefit of the drugs' role as chemical chaperones is that they have also been shown to reduce ER stress in mice with type 2, restoring insulin sensitivity and normalizing blood sugar levels.
Besides being a safe treatment for increasing leptin sensitivity in obese people, the drugs could also enter the rapidly expanding pharmacopeia of diabetes treatment medicines.

Amylase - urine
Amylase - urine
This is a test that measures the amount of amylase in urine. Amylase is an enzyme that helps digest carbohydrates. It is produced mainly in the pancreas and the glands that make saliva.
Amylase may also be measured with a blood test.
How the test is performed
A urine sample is needed. The test may be performed using:
How to prepare for the test
Many medicines can interfere with test results.
- Your health care provider will tell you if you need to stop taking any medicines before you have this test.
- Do not stop or change your medications without talking to your doctor first.
How the test will feel
The test involves only normal urination. There is no discomfort.
Why the test is performed
This test is done to diagnose pancreatitis and other diseases that affect the pancreas.
Normal Values
The normal range is 2.6 to 21.2 international units per hour (IU/h).
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The example above shows the common measurement range for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
What abnormal results mean
An increased amount of amylase in the urine is called amylasuria. Increased urine amylase levels may be a sign of:
- Acute pancreatitis
- Alcohol consumption
- Cancer of the pancreas, ovaries, or lungs
- Cholecystitis
- Ectopic or ruptured tubal pregnancy
- Gallbladder disease
- Infection of the salivary glands (called sialoadenitis, may be caused by mumps or a blockage)
- Intestinal obstruction
- Pancreatic duct obstruction
- Pelvic inflammatory disease
- Perforated ulcer
Decreased amylase levels may be due to:
- Damage to the pancreas
- Kidney disease
- Pancreatic cancer
- Toxemia of pregnancy

Hola! I am a pharmacist born and raised in beautiful Puerto Rico. My profession brought me to Florida and here I am; now recently married and working in 2 hospitals.
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. My MD suspected it was due to food sensitivities/intolerance, so she ran some blood tests and discovered i was having an immune response to chicken, bakers yeast and dairy. (all the foods i love and was eating everyday!)
Now im in the process of changing my diet, learning how to cook allergen free and just taking control of what goes into my body. Because, as a pharmacist, I rather treat my condition in a holistic way, than with toxic drugs!
ANDDDD My husband is so happy that I'm finally cooking.

Hi, my water is supplied by a small community well system (9 houses). The pressure and flow is less than adequate; that's not going to change.
I just completed a new master bath remodel and installed the above shower bar system, as well as a Grohe rainhead. Surprisingly, the rainhead gives me better pressure than the handheld. There is not enough pressure to really use the Trio to its full potential, so I want to remove the flow restrictor. (I can only use one shower head at a time). I removed it from the hose, took out the filter and can see another little plastic doohickey, that I assume is the flow restrictor? If that's it, how do I get it out? Want to make sure that's it before I get too aggressive trying to pull it out. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Drill it bigger. |
Do you think what I've described is the flow restrictor...right below the screen? If only I had a drill. |
You may be able to reach in with needle nose pliars, or tweezers, and unscrew or pull out the 'plastic doohickey'. |
Thanks Randy...guess it sounds like that doohickey is the flow restrictor. I'll get some pliers and give it a go. |
Well, I pulled it out with a crochet hook; it was the flow restrictor and hurray, I have water flow/pressure vastly improved in the hand held. |

... moreRainforest Estate is also a great base for exploring all the natural wonder and excitement of Tropical North Queensland.

So why not spend your next holiday or host a special event in your own private resort on secluded acres of sweeping lawns, tropical gardens and lush, tropical rainforest?
... less
Rainforest Estate is a luxury residence with a high level of quality furniture and fittings. Inside the residence is not a place for children to "run wild". However well behaved children (and adults) are more than welcome. They also provide a cot, high chair, play pen and baby bath for their very young guests. Mobile infants will require parental supervision at all times. There are also many games, DVDs and toys for children to amuse themselves.
Many indoor and outdoor areas at Rainforest Estate are flat with easy access but some restrictions will exist (for example the upstairs areas) depending on the mobility of the individual. They do not have special facilities such as handles and bars to assist disabled guests however some facilities (such as the gentle walk in / roll in access to the pool) provide good assistance.
General Comments
Rainforest Estate is a truly spectacular property, one of the best in Tropical North Queensland.
All external walls at Rainforest Estate are full floor to ceiling glass, providing a seamless fusion between indoors and outdoors. Garden views, tropical breezes and the sights and sounds of the natural world are allowed to permeate into every room.
However all rooms are fully screened to ensure the wildlife remains outdoors. All have air-conditioning, louvre windows and ceiling fans to ensure year-round comfort in any conditions. Therefore you have the best of both worlds - open, airy tropical daytime living, and comfortable, secure nights for deep and peaceful sleep.
Extensive elevated timber decks and boardwalks provide access to the separate pavilions via an ornamental rainforest creek and tropical gardens. Rainforest Estate's abundant, tropical grounds are in a pristine rainforest valley with only a handful of large acreage properties nearby.
Away from suburbia, passing traffic and other unwanted intrusions, yet close to all the action that Tropical North Queensland offers. Beaches, restaurants and shopping are just five minutes away.
A permanent rainforest creek runs along the southern boundary for over 200 metres. Walking tracks follow the creek to steps that provide easy entry into a cool swimming hole fed by a permanent mountain stream as well as to the upper reaches of the natural rainforest vegetation. Tropical birds, butterflies and Australian native wildlife are in abundance from dawn to dusk (and after dark if you're game to explore).
Apart from the extensive facilities available for your pleasure and leisure, the property is also fully stocked with everything you'll need for a fantastic holiday. From the welcoming French champagne, huge tropical fruit basket and flower arrangements on arrival to the well stocked spices pantry and the extensive DVD, CD, book and indoor and outdoor games collections, you'll want for nothing. But if you do need something special, they're always available to assist with anything required.
Further extensive information about Rainforest Estate and the region is available on their web site.
Every conceivable luxury and technology is available. The property is gated to ensure privacy and includes a home automation system to control lighting, fans, pumps, irrigation and security, seven digital televisions with Austar and DVD channels, Bose audio system throughout and Broadband Wifi Internet.
There are extensive book, video and compact disc libraries along with indoor and outdoor games and toys for all age groups.
Rainforest Estate is also a spectacular venue for weddings, wedding receptions and special events such as birthdays, anniversaries and corporate incentive events.
There is a maximum of 60 guests for a "fine-dining" or a "cocktail style" event.
Additional charges apply for such events and can be packaged with accommodation.
How To Get There
Rainforest Estate is approximately 60 minutes drive north of Cairns International Airport (CNS). You can hire a car and drive along the scenic Captain Cook Highway or transfer by helicopter (there is a helipad on the property), private limousine or scheduled mini-bus. Your hosts will be waiting to greet you with icy cold French Champagne and complimentary tropical fruit to get you quickly settled into the tropical holiday mode. Your experienced hosts are dedicated to helping you get the most from your holiday, with advice on tours, transfers, restaurants or car hire, or on personal services such as shopping, spa treatments, a chef, a driver, a helicopter - so you can relax and enjoy your North Queensland holiday retreat.

How to litter box train your bunnyFriday, February 22nd, 2013 Issue 08, Volume 17.
Many people have pet rabbits, and after a little training, these animals can roam the house just like other pets. Contrary to popular belief, rabbits arent dirty. In fact, this reputation often stems from inattentiveness and lack of cleaning on the part of the pet parent. In reality, rabbits are "prey" animals who will instinctively keep a clean home to prevent the build up of odor that would reveal the location of their dens to potential predators. Unlike other mammals, rabbits and other lagomorphs produce two types of droppings. Fecal pellets are the commonly found ones that are round and dry. These can be seen in piles and can number in the dozens. Rabbits will also produce cecotropes, which are formed in a region of the rabbits digestive tract. These cecotropes contain important nutrients and healthy bacteria and fungi, which are essential to the health of a rabbit. Rabbits will eat the cecotropes as they exit the body. Fecal pellets are not usually eaten and are the droppings that will need to be contained. It has been said that rabbits can often be litter box trained and seldom have accidents outside of the box. Rabbits prefer one or two places Advertisement Buy a litter box that the rabbit can easily access. Standard cat litter boxes often work well. Confine the rabbit to one room and place the litter box in the cage with the rabbit. Observe where the rabbit likes to relieve itself. If its in the litter box, this is a great first step. If not, simply move the litter box where the rabbit is doing its business. Once successful, give the rabbit a little bit of freedom at a time. Try letting the rabbit out of the cage in the confined room with the litter box nearby. Gradually give the rabbit more freedom, luring it to the box with treats and praise. Make sure the pet is aware of the litter boxs location. If the bunny continually makes mistakes, it could be a signal that the rabbit would like the litter box moved to a different spot closer to where the accidents are occurring. It may take locating a few boxes around a large space before a rabbit grows acclimated to using the litter box. Then you can gradually reduce the number of boxes. Rabbits can take time to catch on to litter box training, and even when youre fairly certain the training is complete, you may still find a few pellets left near the box. Some people overlook rabbits as pets because of fear of the unknown and the idea of droppings all over the home. However, rabbits can make affectionate and agreeable pets for families that have the time to devote to training. 1 comments
