A minor accident Monday afternoon turned into a major incident.
A Lenoir County mother has filed a complaint against the Lenoir County Sheriff's Office and Sgt. Michael Manning regarding his involvement investigating a traffic accident at the corner of Highland Avenue and Pollock Street.
However, a witness to the accident says there are no grounds to the complaint.
Around 5:40 p.m., a bicycle rode by 17-year-old Matthew Lewis and a Toyota Camry driven by 60-year-old Robert Pressly collided on the 600 block of Highland Avenue.
Matthew immediately called his mother, Kimberly Lewis, telling her he'd been hit. His foot was injured in the accident, and Matthew said he and his damaged bike couldn't make it further than the corner.
Pressly said he had been heading west on Highland when he saw Matthew riding his bike in the middle of the street. Pressly said he moved close to the curb in order to pass him, and honked his horn to make sure Matthew was aware he was there. When they were about halfway down the block, Pressly said the handlebar of the bike hit his side-view mirror.
"He just turned and ran right into me," Pressly said. "I got out to see if he was fine, he said, 'I'm good, I'm going home.' "
Matthew's account differs from Pressly's. Matthew said he checked behind himself twice to see if a car was coming, and didn't see one. He said when he heard the engine noise, he believed the car was coming from the opposite direction, from the other side of the intersection.
The accident happened when Matthew turned right to head down the sidewalk along Pollock Street. The Lewises believe Pressly caused the accident, but Pressly said Matthew turned into his car. A KDPS report corroborates Pressly's claim.
"I did not run into that boy," Pressly said. "Didn't want to, didn't mean to. And it's just turning into a big thing I do not want to get in."
Moments after the collision, Matthew's family, who lives nearby on Pollock Street, joined him, and law enforcement arrived at the scene.
"They started cussing at us, and I called 911 and the police showed up," Pressly said. "There was a big to-do. All of them were hollering at us and stuff. The police finally locked two of them up."
First reporting were Manning and Kinston Department of Public Safety Ofc. Jay Eubanks. According to Manning's report, submitted by LCSO Deputy William Shambeau, a woman was in the street talking on a mobile phone, not allowing traffic to move.
Kimberly said one of her daughters, Kia Lewis, was taking pictures with her phone of the incident. Manning said he told her to stand on the side of the street.
According to the LCSO narrative, "Kimberly Lewis then came into the street yelling at me and the female telling her to come to her side of the street and saying, 'You ain't got to do nothing, these (expletive deleted) tell you to do. Don't pay them no (expletive deleted) mind. You come on over here."
Kimberly has a different recollection of events, starting with Manning getting out of his car in an intimidating manner and yelling sternly at Kia.
"I said, 'Kia, come on and get out the street — before you get hit, No. 1, and before he tries to take you to jail,' " Kimberly said.
After that, Kimberly said Manning began yelling in her face.
"I said, 'Get your (expletive deleted) hand out of my face,' because he was pointing his finger in my face," Kimberly said. "He came off aggressive, to the point — he was just so rude, and racist and not compassionate for the situation. KPD was more compassionate than the Lenoir County (deputy) sheriff was."
Kimberly continued, "So my daughter (Bianca Lewis) here comes up, and she says, 'Look, you don't need to be pointing your finger in my mama's face.' He then said, 'You need to shut up, you need to shut up.' "
Kimberly said she instructed Bianca, who is 24, to go back to the house and along with Kimberly's granddaughter, 4-year-old Ta'Yana Marshall.
According to the Lewises, Bianca was talking to herself about the situation and holding onto the girl's hand when Manning asked her what she said, and to "shut up and come here." They said Manning then came from behind and grabbed Bianca by her neck, twisting her around. They said the 4-year-old fell down onto the street in the process.
"He's choking her, he's turning red," Kimberly said. "I ran to him and said 'No, you don't do that.' I'm running to get my daughter, and he pushes me. My reflexes went back to him when he pushed me. Then my fiancé grabbed me, and that's when Kinston police came to restrain me."
Manning's report says he and KDPS Capt. Milton Kivett advised everyone to stop cursing, or they would be arrested for disorderly conduct.
According to the narrative, Bianca continued to spew obscenities towards the authorities.
The report states Manning told Bianca he was arresting her for disorderly conduct and grabbed her arm to place her in handcuffs. It went on to say she started pushing and hitting him, and Kimberly came up to pull him off her. The report mentions Kivett took Kimberly into custody, while Eubanks took Bianca into custody.
Kimberly said when they were cuffed, but before they were put in the patrol cars, Manning held up a can of pepper spray to the faces of her, Bianca and Kia, threatening them to say something with the intention of spraying them, which he didn't do.
LCSO Chief Deputy Chris Hill said he found that allegation hard to believe, as he would have been notified of such actions following the incident.
"They would have called me and told me of something like that," Hill said.
He added, "It seems like everybody wants to blame law enforcement for their problems. Every time they get arrested, they want to cause a diversion or create a diversion. I'd have to question why somebody would want to say all of that stuff."
Kimberly and Bianca are both charged with assault on a government employee and disorderly conduct. Both charges are misdemeanors.
Pressly said from his vantage point, law enforcement officers on the scene were in the clear.
"Two or three ladies got really out of hand," he said. "They were hollering and screaming at me and my wife. Called my wife a whole bunch of names, saying they were going to beat her up. Then they were hollering at the cops.
"The police didn't instigate nothing. I don't know what happened to it."
Kimberly said she and her family have no problem with law enforcement. Her late husband, Gregory, was a member of the Greenville Police Department. He died in 1998. She also heaped praise on the Kinston police officers in general and Eubanks in particular.
Kimberly also said that while she's filed a complaint against the LCSO, she's looking at filing suit in federal court on the matter. The family has not yet retained legal counsel.
Kimberly and Bianca are due in court on the charges April 2. Eubanks issued no citation in the vehicle accident.

From the Publisher"[Spielvogel's text] is very well organized and contains rich detail that really explains events, people, and historical forces. . . . The graphics are great and I love the inclusion of film."
"Too many textbooks . . . read as little more than a piling on of recent scholarship with little attempt to integrate this into a larger narrative framework. Spielvogel integrates this scholarship into a very well written textbook that . . . kept me engaged. . . . When the author writes in the preface, 'That story is an exciting one; yet many textbooks fail to capture the imagination of their readers,' I was initially skeptical. But I found that he delivered on his promise, a pleasant surprise . . . ! Chapters on Napoleon, for instance, made for gripping reading."
"I have had occasion through the years either to critique or review . . . a number of Western Civilization texts. Few, if any, equal this text for comprehensive coverage of the subject; none surpass it. This is a quality text in every sense of the word."
". . . it is clear to the reader that Spielvogel has an expert knowledge of the material, which he presents in a fluid and insightful narrative. I really appreciate the balance of political, social, economic, religious, and cultural history. . . . This is difficult to achieve when writing a textbook. The scholarship is up-to-date, accurate, and presented in a cogent, concise manner."

By s.e. smith, Networx
If you pay for garbage service, getting that monthly bill can sting, especially with prices rising across the US in response to rising costs for handling fees and programs intended to encourage people to cut down on their waste production. The agony is even worse when you don't just pay for it: you're also the one who takes your trash to the dump. Even if you don't pay for garbage service, reducing the amount of waste you generate ought to perk up your ears, because it makes a big difference to the environment.
Fortunately, those of us with years of rural living experience have some skills we can bequeath to you when it comes to the garbage reduction department, because there are few things we enjoy less than taking a load of trash to the dump. Not only is it majorly gross, it's a sober reminder of exactly how much waste we generate on an annual basis (4.4 pounds per person per day in 2011!).
So, how can you get your trash habit under control?
1. Bring home less stuff
This might seem obvious, but it bears repeating. Everything you bring into your home needs to be processed in one way or another; if it can't be used up, recycled, or repurposed, where does it end up? The garbage.
Thus, buying jam in jars can be a good decision, because the jars can be sterilized and used for home canning, used as storage containers, or turned to all kinds of creative crafting uses. Buying meat packed on a styrofoam tray? Not such a good call, because all that shrink wrap and styrofoam is ending up in one place: the trash.
Think about what you need and how you plan to use it before you buy, and try to avoid unneccesary products and packaging. You may also want to consider the waste stream of the products you're buying. Some industries are notorious for generating high amounts of waste (for example, bleached virgin paper involves substantial resources to fell trees, process timber, pulp it, and bleach it to give your paper that gorgeous white color) and you might want to consider turning to alternate sources, like post-consumer products that use recycled components.
2. Compost
There's no reason food scraps should be going in the trash (although composting fish, meat, and dairy can get complex and isn't recommended unless you're an advanced composter). And yard trimmings should be getting composted too. But did you know there are a ton of other things that can totally get composted? Paper, cardboard, and fiberboard scraps, dust bunnies, hair, pet food, cupcake cups, and more can all be appropriately disposed of in the compost.
Scared of compost, or don't have the room? Lots of cities, like Portland, offer curbside compost pickup and take greenwaste to a central processing facility. Others provide compost containers free or at low cost, along with a quick orientation, to residents who want to take up composting. Ask about composting programs in your area.
3. Recycle
Another one that might seem obvious in a recycling-heavy world, but hang on a minute. First of all, the number of recyclable things is a lot larger than you might think, and you might actually be able to get money for your recycling. In addition to curbside pickup, most cities have a transfer station that provides buyback and redemption credit for residents who bring recycling with the right markings, including glass bottles and some types of cans.
Not only that, but mandatory buyback and takeback programs for lots of products are also in place in a number of states. That means that instead of throwing something away, you can not only return it for recycling and processing, but get some cash for it. Pretty cool, eh? If a required takeback program doesn't apply, a product might still have one through a manufacturer, dealer, or support organization; for example, old cell phones can often be given to domestic violence organizations, who use them to provide survivors with phones they can use to place emergency calls (you can dial 911 from a cellphone even if it's not connected with an active network).
4. Reuse
Obviously, the most fun of all. It's easy to turn trash to treasure if you're motivated, and a lot of products can find new life as something else, or as a component of another thing you're using around the house. Before throwing something out, assess why you're tossing it, and think about potential alternative uses.
For example, holey old socks are terrible for wearing, but they actually make great dust mitts. Slip one over your hand and run it along hard-to-dust surfaces, and watch the grime lift away! Likewise, ragged tees and other clothes can be cut up into household rags for cleaning, used in rag-rags, and added to the stuffing of pet toys, allowing them to bypass the dreaded trashcan.
5. Compression central
Inevitably, you're going to generate some garbage. Give yourself some motivation by downscaling your trash service to the smallest possible container, so you'll be limited each week. If you end up with extra because of a special situation (like when you're moving), take the extra trash to the dump or consider asking for an extra can for just that week.
At the same time, compress your trash. Tightly-compacted trash fills a can more slowly, obviously, and allows you to waste less space. Turn dump trips to an every six months endeavor instead of every month, and prevent constant overflows from your trash bin every week.
6. Say no to rats (and other pests)
If there's one thing we all know about garbage, it's that it tends to attract unsavory elements. By keeping a lot of waste out of your can, you'll make your garbage much less interesting to visitors like Norway rats. It's especially important to make sure food waste and trash contaminated with food never ends up in the can, because if it does, it will appeal to raccoons, skunks, rats, cockroaches, and other creatures you definitely do not want stopping by. Remember that insects can show up anywhere, but they especially love old, established cities with a rich history; if you're enjoying a handsome pre-war home in Hyde Park, for example, you might need a Chicago exterminator to help you eliminate cockroaches and start with a clean slate.
A skilled handyman can help you build a trash enclosure that also doubles as a sorting facility, giving you a chance to engage in last-minute interventions to keep things that don't belong in the trash out of it. Your enclosure should have high fences and locking doors to ensure animals can't get in and knock your cans over to get at the trash. If repeat pests are a problem, tie or lock the lids down to keep animals out.
7. Think outside the box
Many of us use specialty products in our lives that tend to generate a lot of waste in the form of packaging and other components, even though we don't really need to. For example, it's not uncommon for people to maintain a huge array of cleaning products with separate types for windows, counters, tubs and tile, and so forth. Did you know that you can use an all-purpose cleaner, including one you make yourself, instead? A jug of vinegar will meet a lot of cleaning needs, with a lot less waste.

Tips to Avoid Breaker Trips
- Unplug electrical appliances that are not in use. Electrical current still runs to the appliance even if it is not turned on.
- Be especially aware of how many appliances you have plugged in during very cold or hot weather. Air conditioners and space heaters, for example, are energy suckers. In the winter, you will more likely have more lamps burning.
- If you have few outlets, try to spread your biggest energy users around.
- Also, if you have few outlets, putting an extension plug or power strip will tax your system more. It is still only one outlet.
- Make sure none of your appliance cords are damaged, frayed or melted.

FAYETTEVILLE — Troy Snowden could go from starting the season as an assistant coach to ending it as the head coach of a girls' state basketball champion.
In mid December, Snowden replaced Karlyn Stephens as East Columbus' head coach after Stephens took the head softball coaching job at Southeastern Community College.
By all appearances, the transition was seamless.
"I knew we had a good team, just didn't know how far we would go," Snowden said. "The team gelled real well and the girls are playing excellent."
That could be an understatement.
With two double-digit wins followed a close victory over a 28-1 team, the third-seeded Gators (20-5) have advanced to the NCHSAA 1-A East Regional semifinals, where they'll take on No. 1 seed Lejeune (25-0) tonight at 8:30 p.m. at Crown Arena in Fayetteville.
The winner advances to the regional final at noon Saturday against the winner of the other regional final pitting No. 1 Riverside (28-1) against River Mill Academy (26-3), which play at 7 p.m. tonight.
Snowden, who's been an assistant for both the boys' and girls teams for the past four seasons, said the transition "was real smooth" after Stephens left.
"It went real well," he said during a news conference Monday at the Crown Coliseum, which is adjacent to the Crown Arena. "There was no switch over, no letdown one way or the other (just), 'We're going to miss coach Stephens, but coach Troy's here. We'll keep on going.'"
And go the Gators did, opening the playoffs with a 51-33 win over Ayden-Grifton followed by a 63-48 victory over Pamlico and a 58-54 win at 28-1 Lakewood on Friday night to advance to the regional semifinals.
"I feel very confident we are where we need to be with our inside game as well as our outside shooters," Snowden said, although he called the four-point win over Lakewood "an average performance."
"I'll take the win," he added, "but, no, it wasn't one of our best games."
The Gators are led by 6-foot junior Lauren Jenkins, who averages 16 points and 9 rebounds a game for a team that goes nine deep and has only two senior starters. One of those seniors is point guard Brittany Hall, who is averaging 12 points and 7 assists a game.
Sophomore Kayla Brown averages 10 points and 5 assists.
Snowden described his team has zone-oriented featuring an aggressive 1-3-1 scheme while on offense the Gators generally use a deliberate attack focused first on getting the ball inside to Jenkins.
"We use our strength, which is inside. We work inside out," Snowden said. "We have moments where we run, but we're more a slow down, traditional, pass it around, look inside … type of offense."
As for his opponent the Devilpups, Snowden said he knew they were led by "very, very good" senior guard Chatori Major, who has scored 30, 29 and 34 points in Lejeune's three playoff wins, all at home.
And while many foes have tried what Snowden and other coaches call "trick defenses," including a box-and-one and triangle-and-two, against Major. Snowden said that isn't in the Gators' game plan.
"No, we're going to play our game," he said. "We're not going to change anything do anything. No need to confuse the girls at this point in the year."
Also, he said, a change now might give the players "the wrong impression."
"S we're going to stick to our strength," he said. "As long as we stick to our game plan and we don't step out of our box, I think we'll do fine."

The lead character, Woody, voiced by Tom Hanks.
Source: Moviefone.ca
Hmmm. I've never heard of the film Ninja; have to put that one on my radar. The Centurion has that Gladiator feel to it; let's hope it has at least as much appeal.
Centurion looks nice, I hope it lives up to some of its historical (in more ways than one) counterparts.
I like these kind of movies, but I guess i should, since I am a history student.
The other one that got me going was Boondock Saints II. I've been itching for that one ever since I bought the first one for 5 bucks at some local cheap-crap store 😀
The Toy Story posters are great. I think I forgot how much I love all of those characters. Any news about Zurg and Stinky Pete being in the third installment? Also that movie Ninja looks bad. I know nothing about it other than the title but with a title like that I assume it would be horrible. It's like the movie Fighting. Bad title. Bad movie. And whateverthat 3D Nicholas Cage thing is sounds awful. I already hate Nicholas Cage, seeing him in 3D would be even worse.
Oh, yah, another "cool Ninja" gimmick movie… That first poster of it looked like GI Joe's own "cool Ninja" gimmick Snake Eyes…
re: boondock saints
Oh I'd love to see them fire those guns while resting their heads on them like that, they have their fingers on the trigger, so it could happen, that would be the most awesome part of the movie… *BAM* "oh @!#% what the hell?? My head is !@#%#ing bleeding! Oh, why did I fire that stupid !@#%$^ gun! @$^#$%!!"
Yah, then they look like they're dual wielding desert eagles, lol. I'd love to see them shoot those too, and have them both fly back and smack themselves in the face. Man, by the end of the movie they would have beaten themselves up to a pulp, no need for a villain…
re: Centurion
Looks cool, reminds me of the tv show Rome. All we need is Ray Stevenson out there killing people all by himself, lol.
re: Toy Story 3
Can't wait, I'm surprised they didn't have a poster with Mr. Potatohead with a "3" attached to him instead of an ear or an eye or something, lol.
re: The Lovely Bones
Looks cool, the movie trailer for the movie makes it seem very interesting as well, can't wait.
re: drive angry
LOL, are they serious?? That is coming out in theaters? Nicolas Cage just spirals further down the drain…
re: Ong Bak 3
Man, he's gotta lay off those noodles, I always remembered him more defined than that, or is that someone else??
re: Princess and the Frog
Eh, I don't know, I usually like these animated movies, but I didn't really like what I saw from the teasers so far, that frog seems kind of arrogant and annoying… The cute black princess is a plus though… 😛
re: Twilight
LOL, just kidding…
re: The Box
Eh, looks pretty boring, how long can they stretch out a couple arguing over what to do with the box???? I understand it as a Twilight Zone episode, but a whole movie??? Come on…
re: Pirate Radio
Eh, not going to comment on this either, looks… uninteresting…
After waiting so long I can officially say i am stoked for TS3!

"Have some fun with this audio, the producers did!" (AudioFile)
"The individual books are bookmarked"
Contrary to what a previous reviewer said, the individual books all have chapter markers so you can jump directly to a particular book if you know the chapter number.
"Great for the Road"
We downloaded this for a Thanksgiving week 1600 mile road trip with a four and two year old. I thought they wouldn't enjoy the stories without the pictures in front of them, but they couldn't get enough. Definitely helped to fill the time, and entertained the adults enough, too.
No, it's not a substitute for the books with pictures, but definitely worth it for travel. Also a good value for the number of books on this program.
"Your kids will love it!"
I bought this audiobook for a car trip to disney, but ended up using it daily. There are enough stories to keep them interested and the length is perfect for the longer errands around town.
I bought this (these) book(s) for ME! Used to read them to my children when they were younger than my grandchildren are now. Dr. Seuss is the Man! Good listening for all ages. You can't grow up until you understand all the messages he presents to be a better human being. I still listen...what fun is growing up anyway?!
"Good, but....."
The source material is unquestionably good; the readings are *mostly* very good; the music is intrusive, superfluous, and frankly, grating. Dustin Hoffman is the best of the bunch, showing incredible class and demonstrating that he is an Actor (capital A) even when reading "Horton Hears a Who". Not bad for a car trip, but you'll miss the pictures.
"Finding the Book"
It goes without saying the books are great but I don't care for the format. My son is four and knows which book he wants to hear. This format does not allow you to skip to a specific book.
"Great for the car"
My Daughter loves this in the car - keeps her quiet on long trips and therefore worth every cent.
Some of the stories are very well read by great readers.
Highly recommended
"What is it with the music???????"
Why spoil great reading and a wonderful book with loud silly music throughout? Someone has been watching too much bad video. Dr. Seuss did not write this with background music.

"Timeless stories, indeed"
Besides reading the stories, on and off, through my life.Having these Dr.Seuss stories, read to me + my family, by some of my favorite stars. What a bonus !!!

No way. Each story was one per night, different way of doing story time.
"Great if you have the books"
A large part of the appeal of Dr Seuss books is the strange and fantastic pictures that accompany the rhymes. Obviously you are not going to get these with an audio book. I would therefore recommend this only once you have got the books. That way your child and you can really enjoy the thorough nonsense of the Seuss phenomenon.

What are Your Must-Have Baby Items?Tweet
We still have a lot of stuff from when our first two kiddos were born, but some of the items are worn out or no longer working.
We'll need to look for a new stroller, a new swing, new car seats, among other things.
There have been so many new brands and types of baby products that have come out since DS2 was born, and it seems a little overwhelming. Friends who have just given birth this year have brands of strollers that I've never even heard of before!
What are your must-have baby items? (If you have a review on a blog of some of your favorite items, please feel free to leave the link(s)).
I'm going to need all the help I can get when it comes to finding the right baby products!
Sage and Savvy is brought to you by Hawaii Mom Bloggers sharing the latest in products, movies, and more!

Must have item, a large (water-proofed inside) diaper bag with bottle holder pockets and such to keep it very organized. No more plunking things into an oversized tote, thank-you.

We travel frequently so our Ergo is a must have for us! Also, we love our Britax carseats.

I absolutely loved my last car seat, but I don't think it's available any more. It was a fisher-price brand and for a handle it had one flexible cloth strap. The strap could unhook to become twice as long so that I could put it behind my back. It's hard to explain, but I could wear the car seat like a sling almost. The car seat was the lightest I've ever found and it was easy to carry that way. I could use both my hands. Or I could leave the strap 1/2 length and carry it on my shoulder like a purse. It was an amazing invention and I got questions everywhere I went about it. That doesn't help you out much, but if you see a car seat like that - try it out! :)

I second the Ergo - it was a LIFESAVER and can be used even in toddler years. What a great investment that was!

The Juppy Baby Walker
Is a great product... my baby girl was using a normal walker and then she doesn't like it anymore... So we get the Juppy and she wants to run on it... lol... Great idea who made it!

my must have item was the boppy - it was a lifesaver for nursing and tummy time and even sleeping!

our must have was a graco infant car seat/carrier

One of my favorite must have baby items is the bouncy seat. I have the boppy version and we used it all the time for at least the forst 6 months and even longer. I am planning on using it again for baby #2.
- October 15, 2010 at 7:42 AM
- Hannah said...
I think some of the coolest must have items are Tommee Tippee products.
They have mats and bowls that you use at the table so your older baby can't knock food over, and clever spill proof cups and bottles. They also have innovative pacifiers!
- October 16, 2010 at 8:21 AM
- Champagne Wisdom said...
Our must have is Dr. Brown's baby bottles - the wide mouth version. They're harder to find, but you can order online - and they're great for interchanging bottle and breast. Also Boudreaux's Butt Paste - I swear by it!!

The biggest must-have item I can think of is a battery operated swing. It was a LIFE SAVER for me during the early years of both of my kids
- October 19, 2010 at 5:35 AM
- Kimberly said...
I think a few must-haves that I didn't realize were so important were the Halo sleep sack swaddle (it really works!) and the Bumbo seat. It has a tray so it can double as an activity seat and really comes in handy when baby needs to be in a seat but doesn't want to recline.

For the first few months, my musthave item was those gowns with the open stretchy bottoms. It makes it a ton easier for changing diapers ....Tiffypoot @ (aol.com)

I too will go with the swing,that is such a life saver

I know this is odd, but baby bottle brushes! They are multi purpose and can be used to clean water bottles, wine glasses, etc.

- Mami2jcn said...
It's funny that someone said pacifiers...none of my 3 ever wanted one. My 2 sons enjoyed the infant swing but my daughter hated it. The one thing that I used for all 3 of them, and I still do with my youngest, is a Boppy Pillow. It's great for support when you're rocking the baby to sleep. I own 2 of them (one for upstairs and one for downstairs...yes, I'm lazy). :-)
Congrats on baby #3!

I loved my Moby wrap and was able to use it until my daughter was a over a year old. At first it took a little work to get it on but after a week or two it was super easy.

My all-time favorite baby item was always Johnson's diaper cream. Not goopy like so many others...but creamy & soft & worked so well on my babies!

my must have item is my Medela breast pump esp when I went back to work! Plus it saved us money instead of buying formula.

We were given a bottle warmer at our baby shower and thought it was a crazy/useless item. We shoved it in the closet. Eventually after our son was born we realized how annoying it was boiling water at 2am!!!! After setting up and testing the bottle warmer, I literally announced how amazing this invention was to the world - ringing one of my neighbors bells as well to tell her the great news! I LOVED our bottle warmer and was sad to pack it away until baby #2!

my must have baby item is our fisher price swing! bub still uses it at 10 months and 20 pounds (of course he sits up in it half the time):) it was the ONLY thing that would calm him when he was a tiny one and the only way he would sleep through the night. It was worth every penny!

The Bumbo is the best. I did not have it for my first child. But once it came out with my second child I loved it. He could sit down and play or just watch the family.

Definitely our Bum Genius cloth diapers, the Boppy pillow, and the baby carrier. I don't know how I would have survived without them!

my boppy was the best following a c-section and an additional surgery i don't think i could have breast fed without it

A good swaddler! With our last baby we've been using a Woombie and like it so far.

Must have items for baby: a sling, wrap or other infant carrier (my babies loved to be held), a battery operated swing, lots of BIG receiving blankets, and a good swaddling blanket.

My must-have baby item was our cradle swing. It got me through those first few weeks when I needed a moment to relax.

It seems silly, but our most-used, absolutely ESSENTIAL baby item was a large exercise ball. My daughter was colicky and had severe reflux and spent almost 24 hours a day crying. It got exhausting walking through the house & bouncing her and one day I pulled out the exercise ball that I used to bounce one when I was near labor. Bounced with her on it & it calmed her down!
My husband and I spent almost 5 months rotating on and off ball duty with my daughter.

baby swing!!! totally. this helped with out little one until about 6 months when she really wanted to wiggle out of it. but it was a lifesaver when i needed a shower!!

The bumpo baby seat is one all the new moms I know rave about!

My must have baby item is the fisherprice infant to toddler rocker. We got one when we had ds #2 and used it just as much with ds #3. It is nice to have a safe place to put baby when you have to get things done and older siblings are playing around. You certainly get your moneys worth too, since the kids can use it until they are 3+ years old. Congratulation on baby #3.

I think even when you use reusable wipes, its always a good idea to have some disposable ones on hand. I opt for 7th Generation so its not totally laden with chemicals, but sometimes a little wipe is a miracle worker!
- November 21, 2010 at 9:24 PM
- paula michele said...
I also think the Moby Wrap is a must have. My son had reflux. The Moby Wrap was the one thing that would always calm him down and put him to sleep. I would put him in it and he would stop crying. It seemed to help the pain and give him some comfort.

The most important items, in my book, are cloth diapers. No, I don't mean for diapering, but for everything else. Yep, thos cutsy little handmade "burp cloths" are all fine and dandy, but they don't work! You need 2-3 6-packs of those Gerber cloth diapers that you can find everywhere. I guarantee that you'll use them for everything- spit-up, changing pad, to prop baby's head up in the swing... And when they get older, you'll still use them: blankets for stuffed animal, to clean up the spilled grape juice ASAP, as a cooling wet rag for feverish foreheads. AND then, when you think you're through, you'll find yourself dusting with one and think of all those days when your grown kid was just a little one!

- rubymoon said...
My must have's are probably the same things that were important to my Mom--a pacifier, a lot of cloth diapers (for bottoms and burping) and Bag Balm for the bottom (works better than any commercial "for baby" ointment. Who would think cow balm is that good?

A must have baby item is a swing. They are fantastic for putting the lil ones to sleep so that you can do the dishes or a load of laundry or just use the restroom!

links...they look like chain links that connect. i received a package of these at my shower and i was like oh gee thanks. they turned out to be one of my favorite gifts! connect the links to a toy on the stroller and it will never hit the floor, the uses were endless! then when my daughter got older she loved playing with them

We have the Chicco carseat/stroller combo from Babies R Us and we love it! Their models are really all the same, they just have different patterns! Otherwise, my favorite all time baby item is our Tots Bots Easy Fit cloth diapers :D

I keep my grandson sometimes and he has a pacifier attached to a little plush puppy (don't remember brand name). Makes that little paci sooo much easier to find! Keeps it from going down the couch, carseat and other hiding places!

Oh, I won a thing called a No Throw a month or so ago that is wonderful. It is like a leash for the pacifiers but is for bottles and sippy cups. It's so nice, and easier on your back, to not have to bend over every two seconds when they figure out it's like a game to throw their things. Lol.

I must second some great items like the Boppy, the swaddler, swing so many great items your readers have suggested I have to go with the half size playpen that has a changing table and bassinet type bed on top. They are wonderful, keep baby close then as they grow the play pen comes in handy for those important times, traveling, when needing a nap outside or when you are needing to do something outside and baby/toddler must be contained for a short period of time

White bath towels, and sweat socks. Sounds weird but I HATED those baby towels/washcloths - invariably they'd soak through whenever we got done with bath time, and my son was still wet. So, I bought some really absorbent regular white towels and used those. The sweat socks, I put on my hands inside-out and used them instead of washcloths - they worked better, and I was able to keep a firm grip on the baby the whole time. I turned all my friends onto this little tip :)

A more specific comment on my Diaper bag comment above. Must have a Carter's 5 Piece Unisex Diaper Bag Set, I like the ones with the brown color. They have a changing pad inside. Lots of organizer pockets. A removable accessory pouch. There is a smaller tote with bottle and food carrying pockets that can be unclipped and used separately.
The thing about this diaper bag is the reasonable cost factor. You can usually find them on the internet for under $30, if you put in a search for Carter's Diaper Bags.

Surrender to Me
Surrender to Me (Mass Market Paperback)
Related Editions
She had lost nearly everything . . .
When a terrible tragedy left her penniless and alone, Lady Astrid Derring did whatever it took to survive. She fired half her staff, borrowed gowns, and subsisted on cucumber sandwiches from the galas she attended. She endured the wagging tongues of the ton and the indecent proposals from noblemen who deemed her ripe for the plucking. Finally, she finds a way to escape the shame and restore her good name. But it will require a dangerous journey to Scotland, where she will come face-to-face with danger . . . and a sinfully handsome rogue who may be the greatest threat of all.
Any gentleman would lend his hand to a lady in distress, but handsome, rough-hewn Griffin Shaw is no gentleman, and Astrid is far from safe in his company. Accompanying her through the Highlands is a small price to pay for luring her into his bed. Entranced by her boldness, enchanted with her beauty, he is determined to thaw her cold heart. However, he soon finds himself wanting more than a brief affair with the proper lady. Nothing less than the total surrender of her heart will satisfy him.

Saying that caring for the loved ones of servicemembers should no longer be seen as the sole province of the two agencies most closely identified with the military, President Obama Monday laid out a what he said was a coordinated, comprehensive approach to improving the well-being of military families.
Sixteen agency heads have signed on to a plan to make supporting military families a priority across the government, Obama said in a White House ceremony. The agencies have made a total of 50 commitments that will pay special attention to the health, education and career opportunities of military spouses and children, he said.
This collaborative effort is the result of Presidential Study-9, which Obama in May 2010 directed the National Security Staff to develop a coordinated governmentwide approach to supporting military families. The 25-page report details what each agency committed to do. First Lady Michelle Obama and Second Lady Dr. Jill Biden have been leading the effort.
The agency commitments break down into four broad areas, the President said. They include well-being and psychological health, education for military children, career and education help for military spouses, and better, more accessible child care.
Obama said many of the programs that the agencies have committed to improving or expanding are not new, but the cabinet-level, governmentwide commitment to the issues is.
"In other words, we're not simply reaffirming our responsibility to our military families, we are upping our game," the President said. "In fact, these 16 members of my cabinet have signed their name to this report, pledging personally to see this through. And not only to fulfill these commitments, but to make sure that as we go forward our military families are being heard across the government. That's what we're looking for here."
Nicole Alcorn, a military spouse who was at the White House for Monday's event, said the signatures of the agency heads was not merely symbolic, but an indication that all sectors of the government would be-as the president put it Monday-- "on the hook" for seeing to the welfare of military families.
"Its across-the-board accountability, their personal commitment and professional commitment," said Alcorn, whose husband is a Navy explosives disposal expert, in an interview. "It's very much that it takes a village, and when everybody takes a little bit of ownership, we become involved, there's a sense of buy-in and responsibility."
Sue Hoppin, another military spouse who founded the National Military Spouse Network and who also attended the White House event, said she was hopeful that the administration's effort was the beginning of a long-term change in how the government as a whole approaches military family issues.
"This is the first time I think that they've approached it at this level," she said. "There's a recognition in America now that the responsibility for military families and servicemembers doesn't just reside at VA or DoD. Our military children are in public schools. Our spouses certainly fall under the Department of Labor. There are interesting things going on at Health and Human Services to help wounded warriors. These agencies should really be talking and breaking down the stovepipes, and coordinating more of an effort at a federal level to support military families."
Hoppin said new initiatives relating military spousal employment were some of the biggest breakthroughs. The Labor, Commerce and Defense departments, together with the Small Business Administration will help to market veterans and military spouses to private industry as job candidates.
"I'd be surprised if you met a (military) spouse who hasn't had to write a financial plan for an organization or who hasn't had to deal with a little PR campaign for a spouse group," she said. "Just in everyday life, military spouses are gaining valuable experience that makes them very valuable employees."
Another of the specific interagency commitments announced Monday brings together DoD and the Department Health and Human Services to address the psychological health of military families. Todd Bowers, a staff sergeant in the Marine Corps reserve said that was an area that deserved the government's focus.
"I always tell people that I volunteered for my military service, and subsequently my deployments," he said. "My family was drafted. That's something that I don't think the American public fully understands. The impact that this has is overwhelming for these families at times. Every time I've deployed-the four times I've deployed since 9/11-each time gets harder and harder for my family. So when I look at this, I'm going to try to put myself in their shoes, because each time that I'm leaving or I'm coming home, it's not until I see their tears that I fully understand the impact of my choices and what it does to them."

The Blue Bulls' Currie Cup campaign will go into the last round after Louis Fouche kicked 21 points in a 26-13 victory over Western Province at Loftus.
The Bulls will now hope the Lions and Sharks win away at Griquas and the Cheetahs respectively on Saturday, which would leave them having to win the Gauteng derby next weekend to sneak into the semi-final.
WP will be hoping for the reverse of the aforementioned results to maintain any hope of a home play-off. They were comprehensively beaten at the breakdown this evening, which was the root of the struggles. Their defence continues to be impressive, but their attacking play is sterile and this doesn't bode well this close to the knock-out phase.
The match was largely uninspiring, with the Bulls dominating possession but doing nothing nearly imaginative enough to consistently threaten the tryline of a organised and physical defensive unit. WP were equally impotent, and, in addition to their lack of clout in the tackle, never exhibited the tactical kicking game to play in the areas they needed to. A woeful lineout effort, where hooker Siyabonga Ntubeni struggled to find his jumpers, further undermined their cause.
The Bulls were the slicker of the two sides, sticking to their forward-based gameplan with great discipline and forcing errors from the visitors. Fouche banked two penalties, before powerful and patient phase play from the Bulls eroded the WP defence and left Akona Ndungane with a mismatch on the touchline. The winger scored, and even though WP flyhalf Demetri Catrakilis sunk a penalty just before the break, the hosts would have felt far more confident going down the tunnel.
And rightly so. Fouche continued to punish WP for ill-discipline, slotting three penalties after the restart to Catrakilis's one to give his side a commanding 20-6 lead going into the final quarter.
WP upped the ante, but the Bulls responded well, turning up the physicality at the gainline and in so doing denying their opponents the momentum they needed ask telling questions.
They, however, folded with twelve minutes to play, conceding a penalty try after repeatedly sacking a WP rolling maul. Catrakilis converted to give his side hope, but their discipline let them down once more, Fouche taking the game away from them with his accurate kicking to seal a crucial victory.

About Me Avid Cook
I am glad I've finally purchased this product and highly recommend this to others. I'm tired of ice trays that are open to the freezer smells and anything dropping into the cubes. This should be mandatory!
I ordered two and then two more
By KarenG
from Lake Crystal, MN
I ordered two ice cube trays, then two more. No more water spilled on the floor or into the freezer, and cubes are easier to get out. However, the tabs that are supposed to help open the top cracked and broke off leaving sharp edges/points. Don't bother with the tabs on the top lid, or make them thicker. Now we have ice cubes again!
Wonderful addition

Have been searching for covered ice trays for ages. I was very pleased to find them at an affordable price. The ice stays odor free!

Great for our RV
By Martha

I bought one of these trays as a test for use in our motorhome. It worked fine, so I've just ordered two more. I like it much better than the ice cube trays sold in camping stores, which produce tiny cubes and are awkward to use.
I would buy this product again....
By Hampton Mom

I use this product for ice cubes. I got tired of buying ice when I can make ice in the comfort of my own home. I love the fact that this product can be stacked on top of each other, not using alot of space in my freezer.

Just what I hoped for
By grace

The quality off Our city water prevents us from having an automatic ice maker. We bought 6 ice trays and use a larger container to store the cubes. My family loves iced coffee winter and summer, so cubes are essential. 6 works perfectly

Smoke sparks Arlington boys to win over rival Stanwood
Gavin Smoke scores 10 in fourth-quarter rally that helps the Eagles defeat Spartans
Annie Mulligan / For The Herald
Stanwood's Cannen Roberson shoots over Arlington's Noah Jones during the Eagle's win over Stanwood High School on Tuesday night at Arlington High School.
Annie Mulligan / For The Herald
Arlington players and fans celebrate on the floor following the Eagle's win over Stanwood High School Tuesday evening at Arlington High School.
And Arlington victories.
When his team needed a spark, Arlington's Gavin Smoke caught fire. Smoke had 10 fourth-quarter points -- to go along with the eight of Terry Dawn -- as the Eagles came from behind to defeat Stanwood 54-49 in a nonconference game Tuesday night at Arlington High School.
Arlington outscored the Spartans 23-11 in the decisive fourth quarter, thanks in large part to Smoke who hit a 3-pointer to start the big run for the Eagles.
"Gavin hit that shot, that's when the momentum shifted, at least for me," said Arlington head coach Nick Brown. "… Gavin Smoke just came to play. He's a fiery-hot kid. He can flat out play."
Smoke, who finished with 13 points, hit a 3-pointer with 5:26 remaining in the game to cut Stanwood's lead to three, after the Eagles trailed by as many as 11. He added another basket on Arlington's next possession to cut their deficit to one.
With a large contingent of Eagles fans -- dressed all in black -- cheering and screaming, Arlington completed the comeback. Dawn went to the line, with the Arlington student section chanting, "Terry! Terry!" and sank two free throws with 33 seconds to play in the game, giving the Eagles a 52-49 lead.
"I was feeling it, but those chills started kicking in (on the free throws)," Dawn said. "I knew with those last two we were going to beat them. I knew I could do it."
After Stanwood missed a couple 3-point attempts, Dawn -- who also had eight rebounds and four steals -- added his 18th and 19th points on two more free throws to give Arlington its final total.
"As a team we played an excellent game," said Smoke, a junior. "We beat an excellent team in Stanwood."
Arlington, which remains undefeated at 4-0 overall, led early, but a Cannen Roberson 3-pointer put Stanwood up 7-5 about five minutes into the first quarter. The Spartans then led all the way until there was 1:46 to play in the game, when Dawn tied the score at 48.
Junior Noah Jones had nine points and six rebounds for Arlington and Kaleb Bryson added seven -- four in the fourth quarter -- for the Eagles.
Brown said that Arlington made some adjustments at halftime, opting for more patience. He wanted the Eagles to find more open shots against Stanwood's zone defense.
"We got a lot more patient," Brown said. "We started waiting for the shots to come. Then the kids hit shots."
Each team was supported by a large fan contingent, making for a loud, exciting atmosphere in the Arlington gym.
"It's like going into a different world," Smoke said. "That was the most exciting game I've ever played in. What an experience."
"That was so big. Our crowd was great," Dawn added. "They fed us. They gave us the energy to come back and keep going."
When the game was over, the players weren't the only ones who were tired.
"I'm exhausted," Brown said.
There was some confusion with 6:23 remaining in the game, when Jones was fouled while shooting. The Stanwood player who fouled him said something, the referee heard him, and whistled a technical foul.
Dawn went to shoot the technical free throws, but the Stanwood coaches, players and fans hollered that Jones should shoot first. The referees conferred, then let Dawn shoot. He made two shots, that later didn't count after the referees conferred for about five minutes, then sent Jones back to the line.
When all was said and done, Jones made one free throw, Dawn made two (again) and Bryson added two on a layin after the Eagles were awarded possession. That five-point Arlington swing cut Stanwood's lead to 41-36.
Count Brown among those confused by what happened.
"I honestly don't know (what happened)," Brown said. "I still don't entirely know what went on."
Brown called the play "pretty big" and said it was definitely helped contribute to the Eagles' run.
Roberson finished with 12 points and four rebounds to lead Stanwood (2-2). The Spartans' Drew Sears had 10 rebounds -- and five points -- before collecting his fifth foul with 33 seconds to go. Mason Garcea added nine points -- six of which came in the fourth quarter.
"I think (Stanwood head coach) Zach (Ward) is one of the best coaches in the state," Brown said. "We have nothing but respect for (the Spartans). They are really good. … Their defense is probably the toughest we'll play."
Smoke was thrilled to get the victory over Arlington's rival, but said it was just that -- one win.
"It's a big win, but it's just one game," Smoke said. "We've got a lot more."

Eclat d'Arpege is by far my favorite fragrance. I can't think of a time that I didn't receive a compliment when wearing it. It's soft and my husband says it's incredibly sexy. Others have mentioned in their reviews that it wears off quickly, however it's common for me to not be able to smell it mid-day, yet I still receive compliments. I would rather be subtle and let people meet me when I walk in a room, not my perfume.
