Gov. Phil Bryant has signed into law two bills designed to protect the rights of gun owners.
House Bill 485 protects personal information collected from applicants for concealed carry permits. It removes personal information from public record requirements. Applicant and permit holder information is still available if ordered by a court. It takes effect immediately.
House Bill 2, effective July 1, clarifies the legal definition of carrying a concealed weapon.
"Sensitive gun owner information is entitled to privacy protections, just like medical records, tax documents and personnel files," said Bryant.
"Law-abiding citizens should not feel like they are doing something wrong by having a concealed carry permit," said House Speaker Philip Gunn. "This law exempts their names and addresses from being a matter of public record, which we feel will protect their rights and identities."
Under the new law, a citizen licensed to carry a concealed weapon will not be penalized if part of his or her weapon is visible. Case law has established that if any part of a weapon is obscured from view, including by a holster, it is considered concealed.
House Bill 2 also permits active duty military personnel or veterans who are at least 18 years of age to apply for a concealed carry permit. Civilian citizens must be at least 21 years of age to apply.
The National Rifle Association supported both measures.

When you begin your search for beauty care products, are you thinking of your feet and their needs? Probably not. Most likely, you are thinking about your face, hands, neck, eyes, or lips and wondering which products to buy in order to deliver soothing, cleansing or moisturizing to those areas of your body. It's a shame, but the feet are often the last part of the body to be considered when beauty products are being purchased. However, the feet justly deserve to be pampered with delightfully scented beauty care products that cleanse and moisturize with gentle yet effective action.

Spielberg's "Lincoln" Reveals Two Little-Known Black Heroines
At a recent Petersburg, Va., screening of the film "Lincoln," hosted by the Virginia Film Office and the City of Colonial Heights, I was curious to see how African-American characters close to the Lincoln family, would be portrayed. My concern was based on experience with historic films when Black characters were often minimized, stereotyped or left out altogether. In June 2011, I contacted the Virginia Film Office (VFO) to express my concern that Black characters be included, and with the assistance of a VFO executive, sent a letter to Steven Spielberg encouraging him to at least highlight a little known woman named Elizabeth "Lizzie" Keckley, who was confidante and friend to Mary Todd Lincoln. Much to my surprise, the Virginia Film Office emailed me a response, "…we did submit your request to Steven Spielberg and his team…it looks promising for Elizabeth Keckley to be included in the film."
"Lincoln" is a powerful history lesson that focused on the Civil War leadership of President Abraham Lincoln, brilliantly portrayed by actor Daniel Day-Lewis. The film tells how President Lincoln skillfully maneuvered Congress to pass the 13th Amendment to permanently abolish slavery. And, while the film would have been enhanced by featuring the involvement of Abolitionist heroes like Frederick Douglass, Rev. Henry Highland Garnet and Rev. Francis J. Grimke, I am glad that at least Keckley and a few other African-American characters were portrayed.
Actress Gloria Reuben does a sensitive portrayal of Keckley, a pioneering dressmaker extraordinaire and confidante to Mary Todd Lincoln, played by Sally Field. Reuben captures the grace of Keckley, who was born into slavery in Dinwiddie, Va., and overcame brutality, humiliation, and sexual violence and somehow managed to purchase freedom for herself and her son. When, as a free woman, she relocated to Washington, D.C., Keckley opened a sewing business and designed gowns for wives of the most powerful men of the era. Her clients included Varina Davis, wife of then-Senator Jefferson Davis; Mary Custis Lee, wife of then Colonel Robert E. Lee, and many others. A compassionate woman, Keckley also established a re-settlement camp on the land where Howard University now stands, for Black people fleeing slavery.
Although her role is small, Keckley is shown as dignified, well-dressed and in direct conversation with President Lincoln about the plight of Black people. She is seen sitting next to Lincoln, in the balcony of the Congress, where she bears witness to major events in U.S. history, including debates between famous Abolitionist Senator Thaddeus Stevens, brilliantly portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones, and his opponents as they fought over passage of the 13th Amendment. In my view, she is a symbol of the Black working middle-class.
The second little-known Black woman portrayed in the movie is Lydia Hamilton Smith, played by actress S. Epatha Merkerson, former star of Law and Order. For 25 years, Smith was the housekeeper and intimate companion of Senator Thaddeus Stevens, powerful chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. She was also the senator's business partner and managed his properties in Pennsylvania and Washington, DC. And, amazingly for a woman of her era, Smith also owned property of her own, including a boarding house across the street from the Willard Hotel, in Washington, DC.
While I wish Spielberg had put emphasis on the critical contributions Black leaders made in the war to abolish slavery, I still commend him for including scenes with Black Civil War soldiers, Keckley, Smith and others in this highly personal movie profile about Abraham Lincoln. While there are many details missing about the fascinating Black characters in "Lincoln," the void leaves opportunities for other producers. In closing, I wish to thank the Virginia Film Office for passing the concerns of a history buff to the Spielberg team.

How do you know if there was a convict in your family?
There are several different records that may indicate if a person was a convict:
- A marriage certificate of the ancestor may state 'married with the permission of the Governor'. This indicates that one or both people were convicts.
- A death certificate may state 'prisoner of the Crown'.
- The person may be listed as a convict in population records such as musters and census records.
- You may stumble across some correspondence or online database that refers to your person as a convict.
- There may be a suspicion in the family that the person was a convict.
Now you can start on the exciting research to find your convict ancestor!
Also make sure to look at our case study of convict John Knatchbull (below).

The truth about what happened to many of the Convict Records
When conducting your convict research many come to a 'dead end' or discover a 'gap' in the records where what your looking for simply hasn't survived. Ever wondered why? Read an article written by Christine Shergold titled New South Wales Convict Records - 'Lost and Saved' to find out about the organised destruction of records by the Colonial authorities in 1863 and 1870.
Where to find NSW Convict records by government department
This overview "Where to find convict records" is designed to assist researchers in identifying the main government agencies responsible for creating and maintaining convict records. View at a glance which government departments created and kept records relating to convicts.
Trial and Transportation
Historical background to transportation
The practice of banishing undesirables had a long history in England, but it was not organised as a definite system until the Transportation Act 1717 which made transportation an alternate punishment to death in certain circumstances, and a punishment in its own right for some offences. Botany Bay had been considered a possible outlet for convicts during the 1780s. In 1786 the British government decided to make use of this region. In October 1786 Captain Arthur Phillip was appointed Governor of New South Wales and set sail with the First Fleet on 13 May 1787, arriving in Botany Bay with some 775 convicts on 18 January 1788.
From the outset convicts were used as a labour force, initially working for the government on necessary public work projects, then for private settlers who began arriving in 1793. Once the early problems had been overcome the settlement expanded and by 1821 NSW had taken shape as a colony in which farming, grazing, commerce and a variety of other economic activites flourished. Between 1788 and 1842 about 80,000 convicts were transported to NSW. Of these, about 85% were men and 15% were women. Almost two thirds of convicts were English (along with a small number of Scottish and Welsh), with the Irish making up the remaining one third. Most were first offenders with the majority being convicted of petty larceny or receiving stolen goods. Transportation of convicts to NSW finished in 1842, although some convict 'exiles' continued to arrive until 1850.
Convicts were usually given sentences of transportation for seven and 14 years or life. Some convicts in the 1830s received ten-year sentences. About one quarter of the convicts were sentenced to 'the term of their natural lives' and a proportion of these had reprieves from the death sentence.
British & Irish trial records
The majority of convicts to NSW originally came from Great Britain. Following apprehension, after committing a crime, a person was brought before a magistrate and formally charged. If there was enough evidence, the prisoner would be detained in gaol to await trial. If found guilty the prisoner could be sentenced to transportation or death, which was then often commuted to transportation. The prisoner would then be sent to a gaol or hulk to wait to board a convict vessel for the Australian conlonies.
If a person was tried by a Quarter Sessions court in England, these records are held in the County Record Office of the county in which the trial occurred. The Society of Australian Genealogists holds a number of records relating to English Quarter Sessions. If a person was tried by an Assizes Court, the records are held by the National Archives (United Kingdom), at Kew, London.
Proceedings of trials of prisoners from the City of London and County of Middlesex Gaol Deliveries can be searched online at Old Bailey, 1788-1834. There are few records of trials surviving for Ireland. Some records are included in the Ireland-Australia Transportation Database, 1788-1868, which is available on the National Archives of Ireland website.
Records of the voyage
Convict Indents
The starting point for any convict research is the Convict Indent which is a list of convicts transported to NSW on a particular ship. The early Indents only provide name, date and place of trial and sentence. Later Indents contain more information such as physical description, native place, age and crime. The Indents often contain numbers of Tickets of Leave, Pardons or Certificates of Freedom as well as details of any further crimes committed in the colony. Convict Indents are arranged by vessel. Printed indents were distributed to magistrates and officials to enable them to identify individual convicts and to provide the magistrate with relevant facts on their history.
Ships musters and papers, 1790-1849
Most papers were usually brought on the vessel from the port of embarkation. These lists of convicts generally show only name, date and place of trial and sentence. There are sometimes copies of indentures with the owner of the ship contracted to transport convicts or a muster taken before embarkation or after disembarkation in NSW.
The lists of free passengers on convict ships are included in the Index to Miscellaneous Assisted Immigrants, c.1828-53, which is available in the reading room.
Many of the original records are held by National Archives (United Kingdom) and have been copied as part of the Australian Joint Copying Project (AJCP).
Surgeons journals
The journals of the Surgeon Superintendents usually contain details of persons (convict, military, crew or passengers) treated by the surgeon in the course of the voyage. Deaths are also recorded. There may also be mention of convicts' behaviour during the voyage and a description of the voyage. Not every convict transport has a surviving surgeon's journal. The journals are arranged alphabetically by ship and were copied as part of the AJCP. See Convict ships to NSW and Van Diemen's Land link below for reel references for surviving Surgeons journals.
Transportation registers database
This is a new searchable database compiled by the State Library of Queensland. The convict details are taken from the British Home Office records, which are available as part of the AJCP.
Historical background
Under Governor Phillip most convicts were kept in government hands to construct buildings, roads and to cultivate the land needed to establish the settlement. Phillip's successors continued to make use of convicts. Macquarie, in particular, had an extensive public works programme that derived in part from his ambitious plans for the colony and partly from the fact that after 1815 the number of convicts arriving exceeded the capacity of private settlers to employ them.
After the opening years the majority of convicts were assigned to private employers who were responsible for their discipline and provided lodging, food and clothing in return for their labour. Assignment benefited government and private employers alike but the system was far from uniform in its operation. Benevolent, wealthy employers usually treated their convict workers well and gave them the opportunity to improve their position. Extra rations and indulgences such as tea, tobacco and rum, improved accomodation and wages were often offered to keep the services of the best men. Assigned male convicts were generally employed as field labourers or tradesmen; women became domestic servants.
Misdemeanours such as insolence, laziness, disobedience and absconding were punished by flogging, time on the treadmill or assignment to a road gang. For more serious or frequent offences the most severe punishment short of execution, was transportation to one of the penal settlements, such as Newcastle, Port Macquarie, Moreton Bay or Norfolk Island. Convicts who went to these settlements undoubtedly experienced the harsher side of the convict system, with hard labour, severe punishments and little or no attempt at rehabilitation.
Records of assignment
Very few records of assignment and employment of convicts have survived. There are a number of indexes available in both the Sydney Records Centre and the Western Sydney Records Centre. Another major source for the early period of convict is the Colonial Secretary's Papers 1788-1825 available online.
For more details on records of assignment arranged by name of ship see:
Additional information from Musters and Census
The Government conducted census and musters of the inhabitants of the colony. It was often voluntary to attend a muster so not everyone is included. There are several records covering the early years of the colony. Transcribed musters include 1801-02, 1805-06, 1811, 1814, 1822 and 1823-25. The 1828 census is also useful for tracing residents in the colony. After 1828 there is an 1837 General Muster of Convicts. Other surviving census records include 1841, 1891 and 1901.
A Measure of Freedom - Tickets of Leave
Convict discipline depended not only on punishment but also on incentives and rewards. One inducement for good behaviour included tickets of leave, ticket of leave passports, tickets of exemption from government labor and pardons. Governor King introduced the ticket of leave system in 1801 and from Macquarie's governorship, minimum time periods had to be served before the granting of a ticket.
Ticket of leave (ToL) men were seen as the elite workforce. The convict was required to be sober, honest and industrious and the petition had to be endorsed by the local magistrate. There were exceptions made for those with influential friends in Britain or who had performed amazing acts of heroism. The ticket allowed the convict to work for themselves on condition that they remained in a specified area, report regularly to local authorities and if at all possible, attend divine worship every Sunday. A ToL had to be carried at all times.
ToL are often annotated with references to Certificate of Freedom (CF) numbers, pardon numbers, correspondence or colonial trials. The correspondence numbers often relate to the Principal Superintendant of Convicts' correspondence which has not survived. You could also try searching the Colonial Secretary's correspondence or the local Bench of Magistrates for more information.
Ticket of leave passports
A prisoner holding a ticket of leave needed official permission to move outside the district for which his ticket was issued. A ticket of leave passport was often indicated on convict records with the annotation PP. The passport was usually issued for a 12 month period after which it could be renewed.
Sentence Served (Certificates of Freedom)
A Certificate of Freedom was a document stating a convict's sentence had been served. The certificate of freedom was introduced because of the need for former convicts to prove that they were in fact free. It was only available to a convict with a finite sentence of 7, 10 or 14 years. Convicts with a life sentence would receive a pardon. In most cases claims to freedom were made without difficulty. A convict would make a declaration to the local magistrate who would send to Sydney to check the indents. If all was in order a certificate was issued after a fee had been paid.
For more details on where to find Certificates of Freedom see:
- Certificates of Freedom 3 May 1827 to 23 Jan 1840
- Certificates of Freedom 23 Jan 1840 to 31 July 1863
Pardons: Conditional and Absolute
Convicts with life sentences generally received pardons. In the formative years of the colony the Governor possessed the discretion to grant free pardons and conditional pardons as rewards for good behaviour, for special skills or for undertaking special responsibilities. Governor Macquarie introduced new regulations setting minimum periods to be served for both pardons and tickets of leave.
There were two types of pardons:
- Conditional Pardons - the convict was free as long as they remained within 'Government limits', that is the colony, until their original term had expired. The vast majority of convicts granted pardons received a CP.
- Absolute Pardons - the convict's sentence was entirely remitted. That is, they were free both within and outside the colony and could return to Britain.
A Colonial Pardon was a pardon given for a crime committed in the colony.
Bank accounts
During the years up to 1821 convicts were permitted to bring money and goods to the colony and use them for their own purposes. Commissioner Bigge, however, recommened that any property brought by convicts should be confiscated and not returned until they had reformed. This in effect created convict bank accounts.
The Surgeon-Superintendents were entrusted with convict monies on the voyage out and deposited them in the Savings Bank on arrival. Convicts with wealthy friends or relations could also have money deposited on their behalf. A convict could also earn money for extra work or duties performed.
The convict could not access the money until proof of reformation had been shown such as having a ToL, pardon or on completion of sentence. Extenuating circumstances, such as the money being required to pay for defence in a court trial, was also taken into consideration. Applications could be made to access the sums held to their credit and if approved a warrant was issued which authorised the money to be withdrawn.
Families of Convicts
Wives and families of convicts sometimes accompanied their convict relations or came out later. Children were placed on board the convict transports with their parent(s), often with no official record of their voyage or arrival being recorded in the indents. The children were supported and fed at government expense and orphan homes were established to accomodate those separated from, or deserted by, their parents. Young children were permitted to stay with their mothers in the Female Factory until they reached the age of four when they were sent to the Orphan School and could be returned to their mother when she left the Factory.
Convicts, who had been in the colony for a period and who did not commit further offences were eligible to apply to have their families brought out at the expense of the Crown. Applications had to show that convicts would be able to support their families upon their arrival and not incur any further expense to the Government. In general, families were not permitted to reunite in Australia unless the convict applying had a Ticket of Leave which allowed convicts to work for themselves, to provide a means of supporting their families.
Births & Deaths
State registration of births, deaths and marriages was not introduced until 1 March 1856. The recording of baptisms, burials and marriages in church registers was well established in England but the first Acts in NSW to regularise and validate the practice, as well as to authorise registration, were not passed until 1825 for Anglicans, 1834 for Roman Catholicas and Presbyterians, 1839 for Wesleyans and 1840 for the Congregational, Independent and Baptist denominations. Nonetheless, records were kept prior to these years.
The death of a convict is sometimes noted on the convict indents and that of those who died on voyage out was recorded in the surgeons' journals. Subsequently, although records of deaths were kept this was not on a regular basis, prompting Macquarie to complain that before his arrival no regular account of the death of convicts and settlers had been kept. Macquarie established a register of convict departures. Later governors followed a similiar practice but the statistical material available is by no means complete.
Executions formed a special category and from 1802 were recorded in the Sydney Gazette and later in other colonial newspapers. State Records holds records of the various gaols and the correspondence of the Sheriff who was in charge of executions.
Governors encouraged marriage and family life believing that it served moral ends and brought stability to society. Various enducements such as tickets of leave, pardons and assistance with establishing households were offered. It was not uncommon in the early years for convicts to marry again in the colony even though they already had been married prior to transportation. Some acted in the belief that their spouse was dead, others either thought they would never see their spouse again or believed incorrectly that transportation annulled marriage. Divorce was not possible in NSW until 1873.
Until the 1820s marriages, regardless of the faith of the individuals involved, were conducted only by the Church of England and involved the issuing of a licence or the proclamation of banns on three successive Sundays before the ceremony. Approval in the case of convicts had to be given by the Governor and returns of applications for the publication of banns were sent by the local clergy to the Colonial Secretary and remain in his correspondence. For convict marriages after 1825 see Registers of convicts' applications to marry, 1825-51 (NRS 12212). The registers contain details about the parties applying for permission to marry, including those who were not convicts. Some marriages that were approved may not have gone ahead with some convicts making more than one successful application to marry. For the period 1826-41 see the Index of NSW Marriage Banns, available on microfiche in the reading room.
Colonial Trials and Court Records
New South Wales was a penal colony and that played a major part in determining the structure and operation of the various courts. By 1820 the Bench of Magistrates could punish convict offenders with extra work, consignment to a gaol gang, imprisonment and transportation to a penal settlement. Corporal punishment remained the most common punishment imposed on male convicts.
Floggings interfered less with a convict's availability for work than did imprisonment and were imposed for absconding, neglecting work, insolence, and drunken and disorderly behaviour. Only a court could order a flogging and masters were forbidden to whip their servants. Flogging came under criticism in the press and in 1823 the treadmill, which was approved by prison reformers, was introduced as an alternative. During the 1830s solitary confinement also came into favour.
Convicts who reoffended while still serving out their sentence in NSW could be tried in a colonial trial and if found guilty of a serious crime, retransported to another penal colony, such as Norfolk Island or Van Diemen's Land. Most of the convict records of country Benches of Magistrates were destroyed in the nineteenth century. For surviving records consult the Convict Guide under colonial trials. For other records see:

Penal Settlements
Penal settlements were intended as places of incarceration and punishment for convicts who committed serious offences after reaching NSW. During the 1820s penal settlements were used as a means of making transportation more of a deterrent and they came under control of the military. Norfolk Island acquired a reputation for extreme harshness and severity. Women were forbidden to go there and stories of brutality abounded. Many places served for a time as penal settlements: Newcastle (1804-24), Port Macquarie (1821-28), Cockatoo Island (1839-69), Moreton Bay (1823-39), Norfolk Island (1788-1814, 1825-53) and Van Diemen's Land 1803-53 (State Records NSW has convict records for 1812-part 1825 only).
For more details of the records concerning penal settlements see the Convict Guide.
Letters about convicts
Most researchers engaged in tracing a particular convict would be aware of the major records such as indents, tickets of leave, certificates of freedom or pardons. An often neglected source is the correspondence found within the Colonial Secretary's Papers.
The correspondence of the Colonial Secretary is one of the most valuable sources of information about all aspects of the history of NSW. Chiefly responsible for this was the Colonial Secretary's pre-eminence in public life and the fortunate survival of the greater part of those papers.
As the number of convicts increased and the convict system became more complex, a wider range of matters were the subject of petitions. By the 1830s a convict could request things such as to have a spouse assigned to them, to live out of barracks, to marry, to have Fridays off or to be informed on the progess of an earlier petition. Often these petitions and memorials can provide valuable information about the convict, their family and other circumstances.

A case study of convict John Knatchbull - showing what records you may find
John Knatchbull - a convict example
John Knatchbull was born in Kent, England in about 1792. He served as a volunteer in the British Navy from 1804-1818, rising to the rank of captain. He seems to have then fallen on hard times and in August 1824 he was found guilty of stealing with force and arms at the Surrey Assizes. Knatchbull was given a 14 year sentence and transported to NSW on the Asia V. References to John Knatchbull, alias John Fitch, turn up in a number of convict records, such as the convict indents, Tickets of Leave and Ticket of Leave Passports. What makes Knatchbull more intriguing is that he continues to get in trouble for the rest of his life, thereby leaving a steady stream of records about him. You will find examples of these records scattered throughout the page that detail the rest of Knatchbull's life, including his trial for forgery and seven year sentence to be served in Norfolk Island, where he took part in an mutiny on the convict colony before turning informer on his fellow mutineers. Knatchbull returned to Sydney in 1839 to serve out the remainder of his original sentence. In January 1844 he murdered shopkeeper Ellen Jamieson with a tomahawk while stealing money for his upcoming marriage. He was found guilty of murder and hanged on 13 February 1844.

Driver reports being threatened by armed motorcyclists
Published: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 5:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 5:33 p.m.
SILVER SPRINGS - Two armed members of a motorcycle gang were arrested after they allegedly threatened a driver who cut them off.
The victim told Deputy Craig Kinsey he was being chased by two men riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles as he headed east in the 6000 block East State Road 40 and when the lanes merged, he cut off the motorcycles.
He said the riders, one of each side of his vehicle, ordered him to pull over but he refused and one man took a semiautomatic firearm from his waist and pointed it at him, telling him to stop.
The second man also pulled out a handgun, but did not point it at him. He did pull out an expandable baton and swung it at the vehicle, according to reports.
Deputies Owen Confessore and Kimberly Minton found the men, identified as Marc Edward Knotts, 44, and Michael Alan Crosby, 47. The officials also found the weapons and methamphetamine.
Knotts and Crosby were each charged with aggravated assault. Crosby additionally was charged with possession of a controlled substance.
The men are from the Outlaw Motorcycle gang, officials said.

This week's cook, Lois Nerem, has pretty much come full circle. Lois grew up in the Thor area. She graduated from Eagle Grove High School and the American Institute of Business in Des Moines. She met her future husband, Chuck, when she attended the graduation of her cousin; Chuck's brother graduated in the same class. Chuck Nerem is a Renwick native. He graduated from Renwick High School, the University of Iowa and Spartan School of Aeronautics in Tulsa, OK. Chuck spent 26 years in the United States Army and the family lived in Oklahoma for three years, Iowa for two years, Nebraska for 37 years and now back to Thor, Lois' hometown.
The Nerems are the parents of three children: daughter, Tracy Nerem, who lives in Winside, NE; son, Brett Nerem and his spouse, Lori, who live in Colorado Springs, CO; and daughter Kris Nerem-Lowery and her spouse Cornell who live in Gowrie. They also have four grandchildren, two girls and two boys, and three great-grandchildren, two girls and one boy. Lois and Chuck have been married for 53 years and attend Ullensvang Lutheran Church in Thor.
Besides raising their family, Lois was a court reporter, the Area Director of the National Kidney Foundation and the Executive Director of a Child Crisis Center. Chuck was a rancher and an aircraft inspector and mechanic after retiring from the Army. Lois now spends her time writing children's stories, cooking, reading and raising money for Children's Cup International. Chuck's hobbies include singing, welding art objects, anything military, reading, and building grandchildren's toys.
Lois says, "Anything that promotes good conversation and ambiance at the table is a favorite menu. You will find that I tend to go to familiar recipes that have either been in my family for many generations, or to recipes that have made a great impression on me for "whatever reason." I am also very drawn to recipes with sour cream or buttermilk. I very seldom add salt to anything and it has not affected the things I bake. All of the recipes with the exception of the "Roni's" and the Apple Crisp freeze very well. When I bake I usually double every recipe. I figure if I've got all the ingredients right before me, why not??! It's always good to have some extra things in the freezer(s)—I have three!"

Some of the great fall weather has finally arrived and after a cool and dry start, we are warming things up to near or slightly above normal temperatures. The average high this time of year is now 86, we will be close topping out at 87.
Drier air has moved into the area and another shot is moving in tomorrow. It will still be warm each afternoon, but the mornings will be cool and the forecast is rain free through the weekend.
Today: Patchy fog this morning followed by plenty of sunshine today. It will be warm with highs in the mid to upper 80s but it will be less humid. Winds will blow NNE -NNW 10-15 mph.
Tonight: Mainly clear and cool with a stray patch of fog. Winds will be NE 5 mph with lows in the mid 60s north, upper 60s to near 70 south.

September Infants and Toddlers
September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/1/2012 6:41 PM EDTHi All! Happy September. DD is doing great, but at 3.75, not really a toddler anymore, so I am going to start a Preschool Updates in the General category. Even though she isn't technically going to preschool, I know several of you are making the leap to preschool, or have kids about that age. I decided to post it here, since with the new look to discussions, I wasn't sure if all of you would see a post in the Parents/General forum.
Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/1/2012 9:32 PM EDTOur pediatrician suggested we could start solids with DS at 3 months. He will be 3 months next week and we are trying to decide if that's something we want to do. Did anyone else start solids at 3 months?
Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/1/2012 9:46 PM EDTMy DD is 2.5 months and I honestly can't imagine starting her that early. I've always heard/read that it should be closer to 4-6 months so that's what we'll stick with.
Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/2/2012 11:58 AM EDTWe were told it was ok at 4 mos, but I all the reading I did said 6 mos is the newer recommendation. Research shows that their digestive tracks really aren't ready for food that early, and the foods that you can give to a very young baby aren't nearly as nutritions as BM or formula. So if food isn't for "nutrition" and their tummies aren't ready, what's the point? Especially since we were doing exclusively breastmilk, I thought DD was getting all the nutrition that she needed. Even at 6mos, she really wasn't all that into food and then at 7mos she very suddenly became super excited about food and now loves when I feed her bits off of my plate. I am reading "Child of Mine" by Ellen Satter and really like it. Her view on things is that you should almost never put cereal in a milk/formula bottle (except for treating reflux), and if their motor skills aren't developed far enough to open their mouths when they see a spoon and for their tongues to move food from a spoon into their mouths... then they aren't ready. At the end of the day, it is a decision that has to fit your family and your comfort level.
Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/3/2012 9:34 PM EDTCLC why is your pedi suggesting starting solids this early? The only reason I have heard of it, like Boston said is for reflux. If it is for hunger reasons, 3 mon is a big growth spurt time and maybe needs to be fed more often. Even when you start to introudce solids, it's not for nourishment it is jsut to get them used to eating.
AFM- it was a beautiful weekend, it already feels like fall. We had a scary day yesterday. DS and I were attacked by bees. We were at my parents house and DS was playing in the yard and stepped on the cover for the sprinkler system, which woke the yellow jackets up. With in seconds they were swarming him. There had to have been 1000 of them. As soon as I scooped him up he screamed and I knew he got bit. We ran inside and he had one on his hand still. I only got bit twice and DS three times. I have never been bit before so I was worried that I would be allergic. Both of us were okay. But man do stings hurt, I understood why he was screaming. (Actually, my stings still hurt! I waited way too long to take the stingers out. I ran inside today when I saw a bee, I may have a bee phobia now. I feel so lucky that we got away with only 5 stings, it could have been much worse.
Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/4/2012 5:02 AM EDTI saw this posted on pinterest and wanted to pass it along.
They are timeout bottles and look adorable. I'm not sure how well they will work but I figured it was worth sharing.

posted at 9/4/2012 8:04 AM EDT
OMG, July, that is SO scary! I am terrified of bees and have never even been stung. But I flip out when one comes near me at all. I can't imagine going through that. You were brave to step in with 1,000 bees swarming around!
AFM, DD has been in an awesome mood the past 3 days (knock on wood). She is smiling up a storm, loving tummy time, and is almost sleeping through the night!
I wonder if Luv had her baby yet?? Can't wait for an update!
Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/4/2012 8:05 AM EDTWTH, BDC tried to stop me from posting, saying to remove these banned words, but didn't tell me the words?!
Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/4/2012 8:18 AM EDTAJuly - That is so scary. I'm glad you and your DS are doing okay. Only 5 stings is pretty impressive considering the number of bees and I'm glad neither of you reacted. Feel better soon!
Also, the pedi didn't give us a concrete reason as to why we could start solids early. She just mentioned that normally she waits until 4-6 months but that with our DS she would be comfortable with him starting at 3 months. I think for now we are going to hold off but I was just curious as to whether anyone else had started early.
Liz - almost sleeping through the night! How exciting. She's welcome to come give William a little lesson. We can't seem to break the 3 or 4 am wake up.
As for us, William threw up everywhere while sleeping last night. The poor little guy, it was coming out of his nose as well and he was not pleased. We got him cleaned up as best we could and calmed down but I've kept him home from daycare. Hoping it was just a one time thing. Luckily no fever at this time but I'm going to keep monitoring that.
Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/4/2012 9:04 AM EDTclc, I should correct myself. She is not fully sleeping through the night, she still does wake up for a feeding. But, she is sleeping from 10:30-3ish...so for me, that is close enough!! I will be so excited when she does 10-6!!
Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/4/2012 11:42 AM EDTLooking for a little advice. DS#2 is almost 1. He has been fighting us tooth and nail on diaper changes lately. He is so strong and wiggly that it often takes both DH and I to get through a change, especially a p00p one, without him making an utter mess. We've tried distracting him with various things (clean diaper peek-a-boo, his play cell phone, etc.), but I think we need some new exciting toys to keep him occupied. Any good ideas of things that might be diaper-change friendly?
Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/4/2012 12:05 PM EDTKiwi: My DS can easily be distracted with a partially fully water bottle during a change. We usually have one handy because we use wet cotton pads rather than wipes. Good luck! I also have a wiggly allegator!!!
CLC: I'd wait. I'm not sure that solids would be a success anyway at such a young age. Is it because he can sit up really well and has very good head control? Or maybe your pedi is more old school?
AFM: DS finally had his 12 month pedi visit, and at 19lbs he's up to the 5th percentile for weight! Woo hoo! He's quite long too at 80th for length, so I guess I'll need to be modifying the waistbands on his pants once winter comes. He can get away with high waters in the summer (6-9 month waist size fits him best) but not in the winter!!! He's really starting to talk now, and cruising like crazy, but still no walking. He is climbing like a monkey though! Boys! What a difference from DD!
DD is doing well and is such a little chatterbox at 28 months. We've been doing more time outs when necessary, but I'm not sure if it's really helping. Even despite her being so spirited, I just love this age :)
Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/4/2012 12:08 PM EDTCLC - We started DD on cereal at ~5 1/2 months. The pedi gave us the go ahead at 4 months, but I didn't feel it was necessary to a) give DD food she didn't need and b) make our lives more complicated... to feed DD food she didn't need. I absolutely would not judge anyone for feeding solids earlier than we did, it was just my personal preference.
For a couple weeks, she only got cereal once a day. Then I think we did twice and at the second feeding we started introducing purees along with the cereal.
Kiwi - DD (18 months) was giving us SUCH a hard time for diaper changes a couple months ago, but luckily she has calmed down. You already mentioned distracting him, so the only other thing we did was that I would get the clean diaper all set up and take off her wet diaper while she was standing, so that I wouldn't need her to lie down as long. Unfortunately dthat oes not work for p00py diapers!
It seems like now that DD is aware of wet/poopy diapers she doesn't struggle so much. She'll point and tell me she did a "boop" (which could mean wet or more) and then I ask if she wants me to change her and she almost never struggles anymore. I can't believe what a big girl she is!!
Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/4/2012 12:08 PM EDTKiwi - My DD (2 yo) has gone through this stage a couple times and they were both fairly short-lived (maybe a couple weeks), but I don't remember the specific ages. We tried a bunch of things to get through the diaper changes, but the one that worked best was to give her our phone with Elmo or Mickey Mouse playing on YouTube. I only needed about 5 minutes of the video to get her through the diaper change. Good luck....I remember it to be a pretty horrible stage to go through.
Also, if anyone is looking for a fun toddler activity, we just went to Davis Farmland this weekend and it was awesome! They have a sprinkler park that is really big and very clean, as well as animals everywhere (many are just free roaming and the kids can just run up and pat them), hayrides, good food. I was very impressed and would definitely go back! I believe they also have apple picking in the fall. We took advantage of a Boston Deal earlier in the summer, so it was cheaper than their regular rates....but I would definitely recommend!
Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/4/2012 12:23 PM EDTAjuly, yellow jacket stings hurt really bad for quite awhile, but I have never heard of anyone having a yellow jacket allergy, although technically possible. People call all stinging things like that "bees," but they are not all the same in the way it really matters. Not that your experience was any better, but just to help with the bee fear...
Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/4/2012 12:58 PM EDT@ajuly09: Describe what happened to you and your child to your dr and or pediatrician, he may recommend that you have an EpiPen (available by prescription) on you, in case it happens again. Bees, wasps, hornets...sometimes the second tme you are stung is much worse, better to be prepared.
Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/4/2012 6:35 PM EDTThanks for your concern all! It was quite an experience. I'll ask the pedi about future stings, it was one thing I was worried about. Hope you are right Kar that they are different than bee stings!
Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/5/2012 7:40 AM EDTCLC - 3 months seems really early to start solids. We started at 4 months and I sort of wish I'd waited another month. Once you start it's more work and messier. And they aren't really getting any (or much) nutrition at this point. It's just for learning at the beginning. Unless your pedi has a specific reason for starting this early, I'd wait.

But our pedi was routinely "breaking" rules because our DS was so much bigger than normal... start solids early, turn your car seat early, etc. i waited until 6 months, because that is what the AAP recommends for breastfeeding moms (or did 2 years ago.. I suppose I should check and see if that has changed.)
trouble- I know that oshkosh makes pants that can be tightened around the waist, so does the gap- and I swear that their jeans are made for skinny kids- although they fit DS around the waist, he split a pair at the bottom of the zipper- I think from his hip girth...
kiwi- at that age, we had the same issue. first I gave him two choices- the hard way or the easy way- and we explained what that means (easy way, he lays there and I do it, hard way, dad restains him). He didn't get it at first, but learned pretty quickly that he liked the easy way. we would give him a choice of toys- but with bowel movements, since he got so crazy, we never handed him an iphone. we also gave him treats for a while- he loved reeses cups, and they make these little ones (yes I broke the peanut butter rule) and since they melted in his mouth, I wasn't worried about him choking. his bink also worked, as we took that away around the same time. good luck- that totally sucks... DS is older by a year now, but for a few months, we have been doing all of his pee changes standing up, and he is so much more cooperative.

I also have a wiggly son and diapers changes lately are awful. Nothing works. Actually if DD talks to him it might distract him long enough to throw the diaper on. I have become a pro at throwing a diaper on in less than 10 seconds.
DS is so small to. At his 12 mon check up he was only 18 lbs 5%. He is going to fit into all the same clothes he wore in the spring. I had a pair of pants on him yesterday that he wore 6 months ago and they still fit him with room to grow. He is not walking yet either but cruises like crazy. The last week or so he has been very vocal. But I still can not make out any words besides, mama, dada and maybe throw and ball. We still have him backward in the car seat. I know the new rule is 2 yrs but my pedi said when he is 20lbs he can get turned around, we will see what he weighs in at his 15 month check up in October.

Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/5/2012 1:09 PM EDTAjuly -- That is so scary! Glad you're okay.
Clc - That does seem awfully early. We started at 4 months but it took until close to 5 for DS to get it (and boy, does he get it now -- can't get enough!). Reflux is the only reason I've heard, but if you don't feel the need/prefer not to start, definitely hold off. Sorry your DS is sick, too. Hope he's better!
Liz - So glad DD is doing so well. This is when the fun age starts! Hopefully those nighttime sleeps will just get longer and longer. And did I see on FB that you're staying home with DD for good (or the near future)? Is that a new development?
RE: diaper changes, I know our DS is going to be a nightmare on this. He's only 6 months but whichever way we place him on the changing table, he feels the need to look directly behind him so he arches his whole body. DH said the other day he nearly flung himself off the table trying to see what the cat was doing.
AFM - I started my new job yesterday, and DS is doing his second day of daycare today (he did his first as a trial last week, was with my dad yesterday and will be with MIL tomorrow). So far so good, although my first day was on about 3 hours sleep since DS decided to wake up at night, which he's unfortunately been doing more. So far so good on all fronts. I didn't cry until I got home yesterday afternoon. DS was in his swing and was totally tired and zoned, but when he saw me he got this huge grin and started trying to wiggle out of the swing to get to me. Ahhhhhh, I just melted into a puddle of goo.
I have a few new questions: With so many caregivers, we're really trying to nail down DS's schedule. Our pedi really wants us to get him off the third nap. I've posted about this before and others have said to just let him do what's natural, but his awake time really wasn't extending and neither were his naps. We're keeping the third one for now but trying to push him a little on nap #1 and #2 to see if he can stay awake and sleep longer. We're doing well but the big problem is that he's getting up super early and it seems to be a pattern. For a long time, he was waking up at 6 or 6:30, but lately it's 5:30 at the latest and it throws his whole schedule off. He wakes up tired and hungry, which he never did before. We haven't changed bedtime or anything and this happened before we messed with nap or feeding schedule.
We've also changed his feedings per our pedi's advice. We were still making five 6 oz. bottles per day and DS was eating 3 decent size solid meals, too. As I'd mentioned, he was very fussy on the bottle, so we essentially cut his feedings by 6 oz (we split one bottle between 2 feedings) and he's finishing most of it and behaving much better on the bottle. I was just surprised, though, when the pedi said this was part of a process of shifting the ratio of solid to liquid diet. The pedi wants DS eating more of his nutrition than he's drinking by 9 mos. This makes sense to me logically, especially since I'm not bfing anymore, and DS is all for it, but I can't get out of my head all of the bfing advocates who say that babies should get most of their nutrients in liquid form before a year. My pedi's point was that, if he switches to cow's milk at a year, we don't want him drinking tons of that and it would be a drastic shift if we hadn't started changing the proportions. Have others gotten similar advice?

I feel like I should post something interesting since I actually managed to get here AND the comment box isn't grayed out. DD's 18 month appointment is (finally) next week. Why do I look forward to these so much? I weighed her at home and she was over 28 lbs. Too funny when you see her next to her 5'1" mama.
DH has MRSA so I'm a little stressed about DD catching it, but the nurse assured me that it would be contracted wound to wound so she should be fine if she doesn't have any open cuts and DH is keeping his covered and washing hands frequently. I think someone posted a while back about their LO having it? Or maybe it was just staph in that case.
Re: September Infants and Toddlers
posted at 9/5/2012 2:46 PM EDT
My Mom had MRSA this summer while in the hospital with cellulitis. She didn't want anyone to get it so only my Dad visited her. He had to wear a gown. At the end she was going to PT in another part of the hospital and hospital staff like the hairdresser and priest were allowed in without a gown, so she was confused why it was OK. The nurses said that it had go from open wound to open wound, so it sounds like if your DH is extra careful and DD doesn't have any cuts, you could be ok.

An international banker once visited and spent hours pacing about the orchards, returning – with the excitement of a small boy – to the kitchen clutching a trug brimming with discarded lemons. To his chagrin I gently explained that the majority of those that fell to the earth were rotten inside hence why we didn't use them. And then there was the svelte London fashion designer that fell in love with home produced Majorcan crisps and salted almonds and whom we found stowing away countless packets in her suitcase. Other friends have delighted in the local fiestas, their eyes on stalks during the Moors and Christians mock battle that takes place in Soller in May or the wild antics of the devils at the Night of Fire in August.

A Meridian store clerk stopped a pair of would-be robbers in their tracks Monday night.
Police say two armed men tried to rob the clerk at the Gas 'n Go at College Park about 10 p.m.
But officials say the clerk pulled his own gun on them, and the suspects ran away. No shots were fired, and no one was injured. The suspects are still at-large.
Police say about an hour later an employee at a local hotel was robbed at gunpoint. The female victim was outside the Hampton Inn on Highway 11/80.
Police say the suspect took the victim's purse and then ran away from the scene. That suspect is also still at-large.

Sacramento King: Going, going, gone!
The Sacramento Bee is reporting this morning that the Sacramento Kings have been sold to an investor group out of Seattle.
In a statement released by The National Basketball Association this morning, they said:
"The NBA received an executed Purchase and Sale Agreement for the transfer of a controlling interest in the Sacramento Kings from the Maloof family to an investor group led by Christopher Hansen and Microsoft billionaire Steve Ballmer. The proposed transaction is subject to the approval of the NBA Board of Governors and has been referred to the Board's committee process for review."
Sunday night there were reports that the Maloof family had sold the team.
If the deal is approved by the NBA's board of governors, the team would move to Seattle next season and would be renamed to the Super Sonics, after that franchise left Seattle for Oklahoma City in 2008.A sale price wasn't release, but the entire franchise is believed to be worth around $525 million.
Sacramento officials are vowing to continue moving forward with plans to bring in a rival investor group and make the case for keeping the team in Sacramento.
"When it comes to keeping the team in our community, Sacramento is playing to win," the mayor said Sunday night in a prepared statement.
There have been a number of suitors eying the Kings over the past year, but nothing has solidified
Arena operator AEG recently committed $59 million to a downtown project to help build an arena. The deal may prove to be a strong argument to keep the team in Sacramento.
Sleep Train Arena is woefully unsuited for an NBA team and has proved lackluster in drawing larger acts to the arena due to their low capacity compared to larger concert venues in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Let the games begin.

Effect of PBT2 in Patients With Early to Mid Stage Huntington Disease (Reach2HD)
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Huntington disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease which affects over 30,000 people in both the United States and Australia. HD is characterized by brain cell death that usually begins between the ages of 30 to 50, and results in motor, cognitive and behavioral signs and symptoms. While there are medications to help relieve some of the disease symptoms, there is no known treatment to address the cognitive impairment associated with HD.
Normally occurring metals in the brain play a significant role in diseases such as Alzheimer disease and more recently, HD. PBT2 is a drug designed to interrupt interactions between these biological metals and target proteins in the brain, to prevent deterioration of brain cells. PBT2, has shown in animal models, and as well as in a small group of patients with Alzheimer's disease, it may improve cognition. There is some indication in animal models of HD, that the drug may improve motor function and control and reduce the amount of brain cell degeneration. Based on these results, this clinical trial is investigating whether the drug will have similar effects with HD patients.
PBT2-203 will evaluate how safe and well tolerated PBT2 is at a dose of 100 mg or 250 mg a day administered as oral daily capsules compared to a placebo over six months treatment period. The trial will also measure whether there is an effect on cognitive abilities as well as other HD symptoms including motor and overall functioning of individuals with HD.

Works as advertised!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This fairing does exactly what it is supposed to; cuts down on wind noise and drag, increasing gas mileage.
I had put an Aeroblade load bar and fork mount bike rack setup on my VW, and couldn't open my sunroof due to the excessive noise coming off of the rack. After installation, no more issues; still a bit of noise, but it is barely noticeable.
This is not made to fit the Aeroblade crossbars, but a bit of customization to the load bars and fairing clips, and it works perfectly. There are several videos on youtube on how to accomplish this.
excellent for your sticker collection
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have the 44in wide version on my 2009 VW GTI. I've been living with it for about a year and a half. It cuts down on wind noise with my bars for sure, but with a bike rack too, the wind isn't completely silenced.
This is pretty easy to install, but from my experience, trying to take the fairing off the bars can be pretty disastrous... I broke all but one of the clips holding it to my front bar trying to take the fairing off a few months ago. I think the plastic had become brittle over the winter from freezing temps. Ultimately I had to buy replacement clips from a third party reseller (they're pretty inexpensive, so it wasn't a huge deal.) The fairing itself also feels pretty flimsy when you're handling it, but once it's safely attached to your car the wobble aspect isn't as much of an issue!
Hopefully Thule will invest in higher-quality plastic for their parts in the future..

Works Great
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is awesome at making your rack more quiet. Very easy to install. Looks awesome. I doubt it does much for your MPG.
Works great, cuts down on wind noise
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I got the 38" one for my 06' Impreza (per Thule's recommendation/configuration tool). It's a little short on both ends and leaves about a 1-2" gap on the driver/passenger side but it has no bearing on it's effectiveness. I just thought it would reach to the ends so it's flush with the crossbar mounts. That said, it works perfectly and cuts down on the wind noise from the crossbars. Assembly and installation was fairly easy, but it does feel kinda flimsy overall. Nevertheless, once it's installed you don't need to ever touch it and it really reduces/eliminates wind noise.
Hey Julian, did you notice any major difference in fuel consumption after installation? Did your MPG noticeably decrease?
I've heard of it reducing your mileage but I haven't noticed anything different by looking at how many miles I can go on a single tank. If it does change, it's fairly insignificant. So to answer your question, no, the MPG did NOT noticeably decrease :) Hope that helps!
Works GREAT!
I bought a whole Thule system from BackCountry.com except for the lock cores that I bought from our local RackWarehouse.com. My '06 Subaru Forester looks like ... well, a SUBARU!
I purchased the 44in fairing for my 08 Ody, but it was too big to install on the factory roof rack. Got the 38 and it works fine.

MOAB Fairing flimsy
I bought the Moab basket and while I am happy with the basket itself, I find the fairing to be flimsy and perhaps counterproductive as at highway speed it bends back with the pressure, possibly creating MORE drag. Anybody have the same problem and can you replace the fairing with one that is more substantial??
Is there any way to lock it to the bars?
Is there any way to lock it to the bars?
Nope. But it is attached with nuts and bolts, so it would be pretty hard to remove without a lot of time. Hope this helps.

Attach your GoPro camera to flat surfaces with these industrial strength waterproof adhesive mounts. Can be removed when heat (from a hairdryer) is applied. Compatible with ALL HERO3, HERO2, and HD HERO Original Cameras
5 Flat Adhesive Mounts
How to Apply & Remove Adhesive Mounts
To apply GoPro adhesive mounts please follow these 3 steps:
Apply the mount to a smooth, and fully cleaned surface. A textured surface or any imperfections to a smooth surface can keep the adhesive from making a strong bond.
Firmly press the mount into place ensuring full contact over the entire surface area.
Be sure to apply the mount at room temp, and also allow at least 24 hours for the mount to properly adhere to the surface.
To remove the adhesive mounts, you can use a hairdryer or heat gun to soften the adhesive and slowly peel it back.
Please note that you will not be able to reuse an adhesive mount once you remove it.

Thanks for trying to help here. I guess I'll just see what happens tomorrow. Hopefully I get a nice surprise. I know a number of other people in the local area who will be happy when it happens.
I'm doubtful they will show up tomorrow given that the trick is working with Lafayette, LA tomorrow, but we could be surprised. Hopefully they will soon...
I didn't have ANY locals until 2010, so I know how the anticipation gets to you. I'm lucky in that most of mine were only in testing for a week before going live, but the months leading up to that was surely nail-biting worthy.
