Margaret Lea Houston (April 11, 1819 – December 3, 1867) was married to Sam Houston in 1840; she was his third wife, marrying him during his term as a representative in the Congress of the Republic of Texas. She became the First Lady of the Republic of Texas in 1841 during his second term as the President of the Republic of Texas. For thirteen years, Margaret remained in Texas while Sam was in Washington, D.C. serving in the United States Senate. She became First Lady of the state of Texas in 1859 when he was elected Governor of Texas after it had been annexed by the United States. In spite of her brother Henry Lea serving as a state senator in Alabama, Margaret was reluctant to play the part of a political wife. She did so only sporadically. As the Governor's wife, she became a recluse in the unguarded Texas Governor's Mansion, partly because of her pregnancy and partly out of fears generated by a hostile political climate. Sam and Margaret had eight children and were together until his death in 1863.
Margaret came from a strong, close-knit family in Alabama. The Lea family, some of whom had preceded Margaret in moving to Texas, provided a family nucleus that had not been a part of Sam Houston's life since his years among the Cherokees. Her mother Nancy Lea was a constant in their lives, alternately providing the couple with temporary housing or moving in with them to manage their household. It was Nancy's foundation as much as Margaret's that converted Sam to the Baptist faith, twenty-one years after he had been baptized a Catholic in Nacogdoches. (The earlier baptism was to comply with the rules governing the Anglo-American colonies in Mexican-owned territory.)

Early life and marriage to Sam Houston[edit]
Margaret Moffette Lea was born on April 11, 1819 in Marion, Alabama, one of six children of Temple Lea and his wife Nancy Moffette Lea. Temple died when Margaret was 15. Nancy Lea moved into the home of her son and daughter-in-law Henry and Serena Lea, accompanied by her son Vernal and younger daughters Margaret and Antoinette.[1] Margaret was described as a beauty, "accomplished, well-connected and deeply religious."[2]
Margaret was a talented pianist who also played Spanish guitar.[3] She wrote poetry and loved romantic novels.[4] Margaret's father Temple Lea had been a Baptist circuit preacher. Nancy was a delegate at the formation of the Alabama Baptist Convention in 1823, during which Nancy had the distinction of being the only female delegate.[5] Temple was the state treasurer of the convention .[6] The wealth in the family came from the Moffettes. Nancy was the financial manager of the family, developing an Alabama cotton plantation.[7] Margaret Lea was baptized by Reverend Peter Crawford at the Siloam Baptist Church at age 19. She received additional religious training at the Judson Female Institute.[8] Rev. Crawford also performed the marriage ceremony of Margaret Lea and Sam Houston in 1840.[9] Sam Houston was introduced to Nancy Lea through Antoinette's husband William Bledsoe when Houston was in Mobile, Alabama, promoting Texas land sales through a company in which he had a financial interest. Bledsoe had become acquainted with Houston through Nancy's son Martin Lea. Houston's business meeting with Nancy Lea was followed by a garden party at the Bledsoes' home where Houston met Margaret.[10] Houston's sales pitch on the land prospects was convincing enough that the Bledsoes and Nancy Lea left for Texas before Margaret's wedding to Sam on May 9, 1840.[11] The marriage was her first and Houston's third (counting his marriage under Cherokee law to the widow Diana Rodgers Gentry, who was part-Cherokee.) Her family had opposed the marriage as they disapproved of Houston's age, divorce, and reputation as a hard drinker and a rake.
Because of Margaret's youth and religious nature, many of Sam Houston's friends thought that the marriage would not last for six months, but it was quite successful. They observed that Margaret acted as a tempering influence on Houston, who reformed his behavior in middle age. She encouraged him to stop his heavy drinking, a problem in earlier years, and to attend the Baptist Church.
Margaret's dislike of politics[edit]
Her brother Senator Henry Lea served in the Alabama state legislature during the period Margaret and other Lea family members lived in his home. Margaret had seen first-hand the life of a public personality.[1] She married one of the most public politicians of her time. The former governor of Tennessee had already served his first term as President of the Republic of Texas, and was at the time of their marriage a member the Texas House of Representatives from San Augustine for the 1839–1841 session.[12] Margaret was not receptive to the public life of a politician's wife and preferred that Sam stay home with her. She disliked campaign traveling, frequently requiring Sam to leave her behind.[13] Yet, when she rose to the occasion, such as the extended East Texas Redlands tour of the late summer and fall of 1841, Margaret became an impressive political asset.[14] She rode in the 1841 presidential parade in the City of Houston for Sam's second term as president. But she stayed home rather than travel to Austin for Sam's inaugural.[15] In June 1845, Margaret accompanied Sam to Tennessee for the funeral of Andrew Jackson. In the days that followed the funeral, old friends and supporters of Sam's feted him at parties and dinners. Margaret chose not to attend the events held in her husband's honor.[16][17]
Galveston and city of Houston[edit]
After the wedding ceremony the newlyweds spent their honeymoon week at the Lafayette Hotel in Marion, Alabama, while Margaret recovered from an illness that arose shortly after the nuptials.[18] They then boarded the ship New York to Galveston, joined by Margaret's slave Eliza. Nancy Lea had established a residence in Galveston and joined the local Baptist church. Margaret and Eliza shared Lea's house while Sam traveled on business.[19]
Sam owned a rental residence in the city of Houston, but Margaret found she did not like living in a city with so much activity. She returned to her mother's home in Galveston.[20]
Ben Lomond and Grand Cane[edit]
The new bride spent the next several months shuttling between her mother's house and Sam Houston's 2-room dog trot cabin at Cedar Point in Chambers County.[21] Houston had purchased the property from Tabitha Ijams Harris in 1837 during his first term as the Republic's president.[22] It became the first home of the new couple in 1840. Margaret named the house Ben Lomond, after a Scottish locale she had read about in a Walter Scott work [23] Margaret delegated management of the household to her mother Nancy.[24] Sam kept Ben Lomond for the rest of his life, retreating there with his family in 1861 after he was forced out of office and in financial straits.[25]
Grand Cane[26] in Liberty County was 23 miles (37 km) north[27] of Ben Lomond and a communal gathering point for the Lea family. Margaret's sister Antoinette and her husband William Bledsoe lived in a three-room pine log cabin there while attempting to establish a sugar plantation. Nancy Lea used her funds to pay any debts the Bledsoes were unable to meet.[28][29] Vernal and Mary Lea moved to Grand Cane in 1841.[30] The first Grand Cane post office was established in 1846, with Vernal as postmaster.[31] Margaret and Sam would visit her family members at Grand Cane, and Margaret often retreated there when Sam was traveling. Because the Bledsoes were so often in a financial bind, the property had been transferred to Nancy's name. One time the property had been transferred to Sam, although his ownership was in name only, on paper to help the Bledsoes avoid creditors. In 1845, Margaret, Antoinette and Nancy were co-founders of the Concord Baptist Church at Grand Cane.[32] William Bledsoe died that year and was followed in death a few months later by Vernal's wife Mary. The in-laws were buried side-by-side at Grand Cane.[33] The next year, Antoinette married wealthy merchant Charles Powers and moved to Matagorda Bay.[34] In 1849, Vernal married Catherine Davis, and the two moved into the Bledsoe cabin.[35] Vernal died in 1852, and Catherine remained in the house the rest of her life.[36][37]
The events with Mexico leading up to the Battle of Salado Creek in 1842 caused Sam to send Margaret back to Alabama for her own safety. When she returned to Sam in September, they lived with the John W. Lockhart family on Washington-on-the-Brazos.[38] They eventually got a small home in Washington-on-the-Brazos, which Margaret decorated.[39] The Republic of Texas treasury was unable to pay Sam's presidential salary. Nancy Lea joined the couple shortly after learning of the death of Margaret's brother Martin and helped out by managing the household.[40] The couple's first child Sam Houston, Jr., was born in this house on May 25, 1843.[41]
Raven Hill and Woodland (Huntsville)[edit]
In 1844, Sam acquired the Raven Hill plantation at Huntsville and built Margaret a new home.[42] After Texas became part of the U.S., Sam Houston was appointed by the legislature to represent the state in the United States Senate, and in March 1846 he left for Washington, D.C.. He took up temporary residence at a hotel in the nation's capital and returned to Texas when it was possible.[43] Margaret had initially planned to accompany him but changed her mind when she found she was pregnant with their second child. She stayed behind at Raven Hill, and Nancy "Nannie" Elizabeth was born on September 6, 1846.[44] Margaret required surgery and follow-up medical attention in 1846 for removal of a breast lump and recurring breast and abdominal swellings. Margaret's only anesthesia for the surgery was biting on a silver coin during the operation.[45]
Sam swapped Raven Hill in 1847 to his overseer Captain Frank Hatch, in exchange for Hatch's property named Bermuda Spring.[46] The Houstons renamed it Woodland Home.[47] Their third child Margaret "Maggie" was born April 13, 1848 at the new residence.[48] Margaret and her mother Nancy hosted many guests at the Woodland house, including various Indian tribes who came to visit and camp out on the land.[49] On April 9, 1850, daughter Mary William was born.[50] Their daughter Antoinette Power was born here on January 20, 1852.[51] Son William Rogers was born in this house May 25, 1858. The family vacated the house after it had been sold to J. Carroll Smith on November 19, 1858, to pay Sam's campaign debts.[52]
Margaret's best friend in Huntsville was Frances Creath, the wife of a local minister J.W.D. Creath who pastored the church Margaret and Sam attended.[53] The Houstons' overseer Thomas Gott was instructed to enlarge an area of the creek to accommodate baptisms, and the Houston home was made available for regular services.[54]
Virginia Thorne[edit]
Virginia Thorne was an orphan adopted at age seven in 1842 by Margaret's brother Vernal Lea and wife Mary. Her care had been entrusted to Margaret upon Mary's death.[55] The relationship between Virginia and Margaret was a contentious one, culminating in 1850 at the Huntsville home with Virginia's allegedly being beaten and threatened by Margaret.[56] Virginia eloped with overseer Thomas Gott, who had witnessed some of Margaret's behavior, and the couple immediately filed assault and battery charges against Margaret. A grand jury investigation resulted in a deadlock. The matter was referred to the local Baptist church, whose elders acquitted Mrs. Houston.[57]
Independence house[edit]
Sam was re-elected to the United States Senate in 1853. In August, Sam bought a house in Independence, Texas, near Baylor University.[58] Nancy Lea had already moved to Independence the preceding year.[5] Son Andrew Jackson Houston was born on June 21, 1854 in the new home.[59] Margaret's sister Varilla and husband Robert Royston had moved to the area.[60] When the Houstons moved to the Governor's mansion in Austin, their Independence house was converted to a parsonage leased to the Independence Baptist Church.[37] Nancy Lea sold her own silver to purchase a bell for the local Baptist church.[61] The bell is located at the intersection of Farm to Market Road 50 and Farm to Market Road 390.[62]
Sam's conversion[edit]
In 1833, in the living room of the Adolphus Sterne House in Nacogdoches, Houston had been baptized into the Catholic faith in order to qualify under the existing law for property ownership in Coahuila y Tejas.[63][64][65] By 1854, Margaret had spent 14 years trying to convert Sam to the Baptist denomination. With the assistance of George Washington Baines, she was able to convince Sam. Word had spread about the upcoming Baptism, bringing spectators from neighboring communities into Independence to witness the event. On November 19, 1854, Sam was baptized in Little Rocky Creek, two miles southeast of Independence.[66][67] The baptismal site is marked by the Texas Historical Commission as located on Farm to Market Road150 at Sam Houston Road.[68]
Life in the Governor's mansion[edit]
The Texas Governor's Mansion had been built during the administration of Elisha M. Pease, who moved into the mansion in June 1856.[69] The bachelor Governor Hardin Richard Runnels[70] was the only other resident of the mansion before the Houstons. Until 1931, the state government of Texas made no provisions for furnishing and maintaining the mansion, and governors and their families (and supporters) had to assume the financial costs.[71] Neither had there been any provisions in the state budget for a security force, military or private, to guard the mansion itself or the first family.
The Houston family with its retinue of slaves moved into the mansion in December 1859, during a political climate that was openly hostile to the new administration. Margaret feared for the family's safety in the unguarded mansion. Sam personally ordered furniture for the mansion. Runnels had requested furniture from the state legislature, but the matter had not made it to the floor before the arrival of the Houstons.[72] The family quarters were on the second floor, and the twelve slaves remained on the ground floor. A governess was hired to look after the Houston children. Margaret withdrew from the public eye, permitting only family to visit her.[73] This included Nancy Lea's cousin Robert E. Lee[74] who was stationed at Fort Mason.[75]
The Houstons' youngest child, a son named Temple Lea, was born in the mansion August 12, 1860, and delivered by Dr. Beriah Graham. Margaret was waited upon by her personal slaves.[76][77] After recovering from childbirth, Margaret's only excursions outside the mansion were church activities.[78]
On March 5, 1861, the state Secession Convention reorganized the state government, requiring a loyalty oath to the Confederate States of America by all state office holders. Houston refused. On March 16, the convention removed Houston from the office of Governor of Texas.[79] The Houstons vacated the mansion, and Houston was succeeded in office by Lt. Governor Edward Clark.[80]
Steamboat House[edit]
The Steamboat House was built in 1858 by Rufus W. Bailey. Sam Houston rented the house where he spent his final days, dying here in July 1863.[81][82] The house was moved to the grounds of the Sam Houston Memorial Museum in 1936.[83]
Later years and death[edit]
Margaret departed the Steamboat house to return to the home of her mother in Independence,[84] who had begun to prepare for her eventual death as early as 1850.[85] She built a tomb on her property and had a metal coffin built for herself, storing it under her bed.[86] Nancy Lea died February 7, 1864.[87][88]
Margaret bought the Root house in 1864 from Major Eber Cave, a family friend from Nacogdoches who had married the daughter of Sam Houston's friend Adolphus Sterne.[89] The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Washington County, Texas as the Mrs. Sam Houston House.[90] Sam had always handled the finances, and Margaret found herself cash poor after his death. He had died in bad financial shape, and Margaret did not have money to erect a tombstone at his grave.[91] The Texas legislature gave her Sam's unpaid gubernatorial salary. In order to enroll Sam Jr. in medical school, Margaret rented out Ben Lomond.[92]
Margaret opened Sam's correspondence and records to Rev. William Crane when she arranged for him to write General Sam's biography, which was eventually rejected by the publisher.[93]
Women of character, culture and staunch devotion to their families and church. Each in her own way greatly influenced the career of Sam Houston and the course of Texas History
Margaret died during a yellow fever epidemic on December 3, 1867. She was buried at 11 p.m. by her servant Bingley, family friend Major Eber Cave, and her two daughters Nettie (Antoinette) and Mary Willie. No funeral service was performed.[95] Margaret and her mother Nancy are buried together in the Houston-Lea Family Cemetery in Independence.[96]

Superstar Components 2011
Ric McLaughlin | Blog, Mountain Biking Uk | 05/10/2010 16:10pm
Neil from Superstar has been in with a box of new stuff…
Superstar pride themselves on 'cutting out the middle man' and offering up well thought out products at fantastic prices straight to you direct from the Far East. For 2011 they're set on continuing to diversify their product range and from what we've seen it all looks bob on…
First out of Neil's magic box of new stuff was the Plasma chain device. Features include ISCG and ISCG 05 fitments, bash ring or non-bash ring options and a smattering of colourways. Superstar are focused on offering customisation and thorough after-sales care with all their products so the Plasma will be available in tons of colours and each individual part is fully replaceable.
They're also producing an XCR single ring guide too for just £16. We reckon this will make a lot of sense for people toying with the idea of going single but who aren't convinced it's for them yet.
For the shovel-handed amongst you, they'll soon be adding 150mm long lock-on style grips to their line-up. They're ideal for the big of paw or just those who want a bit more room.
Neil also had a new Trizoid rear DH hub with him. It features the whirry goodness of 120 point engagement, 12x150mm sizing and some meaty Japanese EZO bearings. It's ridiculously easy to service too and retails at £159.99.
Trust us when we say that Superstar have some BIG things in the pipeline so keep an eye on their soon-to-be-updated webber. In the mean time though, there'll be some thorough wrecking and rating going on in the mag very soon…

Run With Big Dog Ink @ Wizard World St. Louis Comic Con
Run With Big Dog Ink @ Wizard World St. Louis Comic Con
Legend of Oz: The Wicked West, Critter Ursa Minor and Penny for Your Soul!
Run With Big Dog Ink At Wizard World St. Louis Comic Con
Wizard World shows and comic book conventions are great places to learn about independent titles that fans may not have heard of previously. Often these books are not as well represented on store shelves, but that doesnt mean they wont be in the future. Fans may be surprised to learn that some of their favorite TV shows such as The Walking Dead and movies such as Surrogates, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and Kick Ass started as independent/small press comic books.
Wizard World St. Louis Comic Con attendees can visit the Big Dog Ink booth (No. 321) for the opportunity to take a look at independent and small press comic book publishers to check out their original titles. The booth will have several hit comic book series available, including Legend of Oz: The Wicked West, a western reimagining of The Wizard of Oz, Big Dog Inks super hero comic book Critter and its horror titles Ursa Minor and Penny for Your Soul. You never know when the book you pick up at a comic book convention today may become tomorrows hit TV show or movie.
Big Dog Ink will also allow fans to meet creator Tom Hutchison, the writer behind many of the publishers books as he will be signing at the booth all weekend. Tom is always happy to review portfolios of aspiring artists and give them feedback on their art and great tips to try to break in.
The Big Dog Ink booth will also feature a Wizard World St. Louis Comic Con exclusive comic book for its super hero series, Critter, featuring a limited edition cover by Corey Knaebel, another of the Big Dog Ink artists. Since Corey will be appearing at the show, fans can also have a great fan experience and personalize their item with an autograph. The limited edition of only 250 copies will be available for just $15 at the booth.
Knaebel will be splitting his time between signing at the booth and appearing at his own Artists Alley table. He will be selling sketches and original art to fans.
Trade paperbacks are a great way for fans to get into a new comic book. They typically collect 5-7 individual issues of any given comic book series. These are books that previously came out individually but may now be difficult to hunt down. Trade paperbacks are also great for fans just getting into comic books as they give you an entire story arc of a comic book series. By the time youre done reading the trade paperback new single issues will be available at your local comic book store, usually monthly.
Big Dog Ink will have several trade paperbacks at the booth in many different genres. From wild west fantasy to horror, the Big Dog Ink booth likely has a trade paperback available in a genre that fans love.

It was while I was at a graduation this past weekend that I realized it – that time of year is upon us.
Time to reflect on years past, a world of difference from the innocent hopeful you once were, cheesing widely for your parent's 300 photo ops in your cap and gown, to the older and (theoretically) wiser you in the mirror.
Is this year your 15th year reunion? Or your 30th? When was the last time you cracked open your dusty yearbooks?
Whether the changes you see in the mirror are for the better or worse, everyone wants to look their best while they reminisce about prom (were sleeves really that painfully puffy?), hairstyles (the sleeves were obviously meant to match the hair), music and fads that were cringe-worthy. Class reunions, NOT a form of a torture despite what you think, are really meant to be about fun and enjoying the past. Stop comparing yourself to how you want to be seen. Embrace who you are and focus on the good things about you.
And stop taking yourself so seriously. That Vanilla Ice haircut you sported looked great in your class picture.
If, when you look in the mirror, there are a few things you want to change for your reunion and maybe recommit to the New Year's resolutions you've left in the dust after the first few months of 2011, here are a few suggestions:
Drink more water – There is nothing better for your skin than drinking 8 8 oz glasses of water a day. If that means less Coca Cola and other sugary liquid offerings, all the better.
Eat more whole foods – You are in luck. More and more farmer's markets are opening up this time of year. Take advantage of them by putting your juicer or blender to good use. Processed foods do a number on the human body, the least of which making you age prematurely. Fight back with a host of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants offered in fresh fruits and vegetables.
Get off your duff – Even walking around your building at work several times a day can make a big difference. It gets your blood pumping, your heart rate up and keeps you more energetic. Ever heard, "An object at rest stays at rest"? Hold on to that the next time you think up an excuse to stay in your seat.
Get more sleep – Studies show a lack of proper rest triggers the hormones that make you hungry and slow down your metabolism. This means you reach for quick fixes such as donuts or sugar masquerading as an energy drink and your system burns the excess calories at a slower rate.
Stop stressing – Life is tough enough without adding worries to the mix. Stress can cause an increase in appetite for some (stress eating when you are so preoccupied you don't realize you've just consumed three platefuls of spaghetti) or lack of sleep in others (racing mind that just won't shut down). Or a nasty combination of both. Do yoga. Go for a run. Whatever helps you take your mind off your problems. Or simply lets your mind free to come to a solution instead of stewing endlessly.
Reunions can be terrifying for some and a blast for others. Either way, use this reunion season as a chance to renew your goals to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Yes, that video switch can be used in a residence. You just need to find a way to provide the unit with 12V power. The power is both for the antenna amplifier and the RF Modulator in the video switch. You will need the modulator.
VCR can be connected any number of ways but the easiest would be to use the AUX port if it is open.

When I was a child, my mother was big on the idea of eating our veggies. Of course, my sister and I weren't keen on her idea. My mother started a chart for us. Every night that we ate all of our vegetables, we got a star. If we got five stars in a row, we got to go to Dairy Queen and get an ice cream cone.
It probably sounds silly but it's a fond memory that I have.

Thoughts on Changing Child Care Situations (page 2)
Changes in child care situations can occur at any time, and saying good-bye is often difficult. Some children face change with ease; others do not. Parents and child care providers working together can prepare a child to meet the demands of changing situations and to understand the importance of old friends as well as new ones.
What Parents Can Do
Think through your reasons for changing care before taking any action. If you're satisfied with the child care, you may decide, for example, that a longer drive from a new home is preferable to searching for a new program. If your reasons for changing are based on dissatisfaction with the care, you should probably first discuss your concerns with the provider and attempt to reach agreement on the issues in conflict. BANANAS' staff is available to mediate minor disputes if both parties think we can be of help. Visiting other programs at this time may convince you that even with some areas of disagreement, you and your child are better off staying put. Or, you may decide to go ahead with changing care. Remember that once you've given your provider notice, it can be difficult to reverse your plans. Take your time in making this important initial decision.
Parents should always give a child care provider as much notice as possible. A two-week notice seems minimal; a month would be better. Many times the contract signed between parent and provider determines the length of notice and should be honored. Telling the provider might be difficult. Some parents may feel comfortable saying "I will be changing jobs soon, and I would like John to go to child care closer to my work. It's going to be so hard to change care." For others, a brief statement "John will be leaving care at the end of the month" is enough. A notice period gives everyone involved the opportunity to think and talk about the change. Leaving a family child care home may be especially difficult because of the close personal feelings which develop between the provider and the family. If your child is at a center, be sure that all the staff knows about the departure. If your child has a favorite staff member, ask the center director if you can speak directly to that person so you are sure s/he knows when your child will be leaving.
Other suggestions:
- Examine your feelings about leaving the child care program. You may feel sad, guilty, angry, relieved and/or ambivalent about the transition. Once you analyze the situation you could realize that you need to make plans to get yourself, as well as your child, through this change. You might also discover you and your child experience a different degree of anxiety. Don't project your feelings onto your child. At the same time, don't assume because you have few concerns the same holds true for your child. You may be able to evaluate your child's reaction more objectively if you can identify your own feelings.
- Be clear with your child about when the last day will be. Try not to tell your child too soon (one or two weeks is plenty, depending on the age of your child – the younger the child, the shorter the time should be). If you tell your provider before you tell your child, be sure the provider knows you are waiting to tell your child. Be clear with the provider that you want to be the person who tells the child about the change.
- If you have to leave a home or center suddenly, even a day's warning or preparation is well worth the effort. Explain to your child what has happened and that you will be discussing the situation with the provider. If the sudden parting involves some disagreement, do not ask your child to take sides or get involved. It will be easier for the child to remain neutral if you discuss the dispute with the provider when your child isn't present.
- Choose the new program with care. Visit a number of programs before committing yourself and your child. If you are confident about the new situation and trust the program, you will be able to communicate this trust to your child. Try to show your child in words and deeds the positive feelings you have for the new program.
- Share this Handout with both your present and your future child care programs and enlist their aid. You may want to arrange with the provider whose care you're leaving a way for your child to get involved in saying good-bye, for instance, by bringing a farewell treat the last day.
- Don't feel like you've failed if your child is upset about leaving a program. It is sad to leave old friends and familiar surroundings. Prepare yourself for some tears or "acting out" and give yourself a little extra time the last day for final good-byes. Children should feel free to express their emotions even if your feelings are different. Although you can point out the new horizons that lie ahead, your child may not feel positive about the new child care situation until s/he has had time to adjust.
- Think about and then discuss with your child any changes in routine or schedule that will occur as a result of changing care – like getting up earlier, eating breakfast away from home, driving with an adult other than you, etc. If your child has changed child care situations before, s/he will probably be able to draw parallels from those previous changes.
- Take your child for a short visit to the new home or center. Plan on spending enough time for the child to say hello to the new staff and to look around and get a feel for the new situation. If you ask your child a leading question like "How do you like the new place?" be prepared for "I don't," "I won't go," "It looks yucky!" Children are usually very loyal and may feel they are "betraying" their old friends for new and, as yet, unknown ones. Acceptance of a new situation always takes time. If possible, leave a very young or resistant child at the new program for a short time at first and then gradually increase the stay. You may feel guilty about leaving a reluctant or upset child. Discuss your feelings with the new provider. S/he can help both of you let go when it's time.
- After the move, pay attention to your child's feelings. Help your child think about the changes with simple statements like "Maybe you miss ____; I can understand that" or "Perhaps your day is very different now." Recognize how important changes are to children by allowing them to express their feelings.
Some children get used to a new child care situation in a short time. For other children, the adjustment is more difficult and they may cry or refuse to go to the new program. If the parent remains calm and enlists the aid of the new provider, the experience can usually become a positive one. After several weeks, your child will help you know how the new child care is going in actions and behavior – talking about the day, eating and sleeping well at home, being active and cheerful. But if you still have concerns at this time because your child is not entirely happy about going to child care, talk to the new provider and/or call the BANANAS Warmline: 658-6046.
What You Can Do With Your Child
Children may need some encouragement to face the change. Here are some activities a parent or provider can suggest:
- Play games or act out situations which involve change and leaving; suggest to your child that a favorite doll is going to visit a new school and see what happens.
- Say good-bye by drawing a picture or writing a letter to the provider s/he is leaving. If appropriate, the child may want to select a small present for the provider (soap, handkerchief, etc.) or give the program a toy s/he has outgrown.
- Make a scrapbook of the old child care situation (with your help). It could include the child's drawings, pictures drawn by other children or photos of the program.
- After the situation has settled down, call or visit with the staff or friends from the old child care situation if the distance isn't too great.
What The "Old" Child Care Program Can Do
The provider's role is especially crucial. Your help can make a smooth transition for the parents and the child.
- If possible, take a picture of all the children together. Have a copy made for yourself and one to give the child. Don't forget to somehow get yourself in the picture. If the child has been in your care for some time, your picture will be more important than the playmates!
- Plan a small farewell party at lunch or snack time. Be sure the other children know in advance the purpose of the party, perhaps using a simple statement like, "John is going to a new child care program and I will miss him."
- Remember to talk about the child after s/he is gone. This will help children who miss their friend learn to separate. This will also show children that you value them and will miss them too, if they should leave.
- Maintain contact with the family, if possible. Write or call the child soon after the departure so the child knows you care.
- If the child is leaving the program at your request, the situation is more complex for you and the family. Providers, like parents, need to keep children out of disputes. If you initiated this change because the child's developmental needs weren't being met, give the parent that information through statements like these "Joe needs more one-to-one attention than he is getting in my large family child care home. Why don't you look at family child care homes which serve fewer children?" or "Susan seems bored in child care because all of the other children are so much younger. I think she would enjoy being around children closer to her age." Such suggestions help parents search for a new program which will better fit the child's needs.
What The "New" Child Care Program Can Do
Making a child feel welcome in a new program is important. Here are some suggestions which may work for you:
- Convey to the parent your ability and willingness to work with the family during this transition. It is comforting for parents to know you have experience with children who may be insecure, sad or anxious when they first enter care.
- Encourage a new child, especially a very young or reluctant child, to bring a favorite toy or blanket to child care. Bringing a "piece of home" along can help.
- Ask an "old-timer" from your program to show the new child around. Children can sometimes break the ice faster than adults – the sooner the child makes friends in care, the smoother the change should be.
- It may be helpful to maintain a little distance with a child who is having trouble adjusting. Some children respond better if they are allowed to "warm up" to a provider or program at their own speed.
- Talk to the child about the old child care situation. Neutral questions like "What do you miss the most about your last program?" or "What is different about this child care program?" can give you some clues about how to make the child more at ease.
- After a reasonable period (3-4 weeks), share with the parent any concerns you may have about a child who is having trouble adjusting. The parent may have some good suggestions for you. You may have a better perspective on the situation, if, for example, you find out that the child reacted in the same manner at the last program but eventually adjusted. If the parent gives you permission, a chat with the former provider may also give you ideas about how to help a child.

EXETER – Amidst concerns from both members of the Exeter Town Council and the Exeter Planning Board regarding the Split Rock Mobile Home Park, the town council said the building inspector is in the process of assessing the situation at the park on South County Trail.
The planning board and the town council discussed the issue at a joint work session Monday.
The questionable status of the park came to the attention of the planning board and town council when Susan Littlefield, a member of the planning board and veterinarian, made a house call to one of the trailers in the park.
"It was not pretty," Littlefield said. "I did a drive-by a couple of days ago and it looks like there are at least seven [trailers] abandoned in there, but it's not easy to tell what's abandoned and what isn't."
William Monahan, town council vice president, said the building inspector, Ronald A. DeFrancesco, is in the process of assessing the situation and is expected to return a report back to the council in August.
"We will then be in a position to act on it," Monahan said of the situation.
J. Michael Abbott, chair of the planning board, also said he drove through the mobile home park.
"I was likewise aghast," Abbott said. "I didn't realize the condition and how poor conditions have gotten there. There are poor facilities that look like fire hazards and rodent hazards."
Abbot said some of the trailers were open and lacked windows.
"There were household bits coming out the windows," he said.
Again, Monahan said the council couldn't act on the situation until the building inspector returns his report next month.
The issue is also complicated by the fact that one individual owns the property, who then leases it to the trailer owners.
Francis DiGregorio, a planning board member, called the issue "complex."
"There are two parties to deal with," he said. "And some people who haven't paid rent in two years. The owner doesn't have much control over what they do [with their trailers.] It's a real dilemma, and as much as a social problem, as it is a physical and habitat problem."
Bill Haas of the planning board called for the fire marshal to get involved.
"I think the fire marshal can have a major impact on this if you want him or her to," he said.
Abbott said the planning board's intent is not to "kick anyone out" of their homes, but said ultimately the planning board hopes to acquire the Split Rock property and use as a site for developing affordable housing.
"That would be a big, big score for us," Abbott said. "And hopefully for the residents."
However, Abbott acknowledged that the issue needs immediate attention.
Councilor Calvin Ellis agreed.
"We have become keenly aware [of the situation]," Ellis said. "It obviously needs attention. We're waiting for August and then we will consult with legal counsel. My expectation is the council is going to be serious in taking every step to mitigate these problems and certainly an abandoned building needs to be moved."
Monahan said the licensing on the trailer park is up in November but the council is pre-empting the expiration by taking action by way of the building official now.
"There are serious health and safety issues," DiGregorio said.
Councilor Raymond Morrissey added: "The bottom line is someone has to be accountable."

Brighter Future: A Study on Solar in U.S. Schools is the first nationwide assessment of how solar energy helps to power schools in communities across America.
The Climate Group and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) announce their partnership to create a campaign through Facebook to accelerate the rate of US residential solar adoption. The main component of the campaign is a web app where solar owners can access a badge to display their solar ownership on Facebook. In return, they permit us to us to include their Facebook profile in our solar owner database to share with people interested in solar power.
Solar has seen a 70% compound annual growth since 2010, with over 4GW installed in 2013. Indeed, preliminary numbers indicate that approximately 28% of all new US generation capacity installed in 2013 was from solar. Despite this growth, solar generation is still a small part of the overall generation mix. This holds true even for the states with the highest solar penetration.
As distributed generation (DG) solar energy systems continue to become more accessible and affordable, increased adoption of these grid-energy reducing technologies is likely. SEIA proposes the following principles as a foundation for designing rates that properly value and enable a high penetration of DG, while recognizing the interests of utility shareholders and non-generating customers in a system with just and reasonable rates. Overall, SEIA asserts that these principles are consistent with the imperative of public utility commissions and energy service providers to maintain reliable, cost-effective service to all customers while protecting the right of customers to generate their own energy in a manner that provides many public benefits including environmental protection and economic development.

Current energy dialogue in the U.S. is centered on the solutions that reduce energy costs as well as the carbon pollution from the electricity and transportation sectors. However, a third sector is missing from this dialogue: the thermal energy that is used for heating and cooling applications.

Today I'm sharing some of my favorite gift ideas to make for your friends and family, as well as gifts for quilters that would be welcome at your guild's holiday party swap--or under your own tree.
I was so happy to see so many hand embroidery designs at Quilt Market last month. I began learning hand sewing techniques as a young girl, and hand embroidery is still one of my favorite pastimes.
Here it is, the second week of January, and I still haven't settled on
my Word of the Year. You know, the mantra that you use to help you focus
on what you want to accomplish before the next time the ball drops.
What is modern quilting? There's no set definition. Typically, though, modern quilts have large fields of solid colors, take an improvisational approach to cutting and piecing, and highlight contemporary commercial fabrics.
What's black and white and fun all over? One of Jamie Fingal's quilts. Jamie considers herself a rebel quilter, saying "no" to batting, bindings, pins, and rules
One of the recent trends that seems to have come out of nowhere is the popularity of English paper piecing patterns. They're everywhere you look!
Hand-sewing techniques and embroidery are so much easier if you use the right tools. Sharp needles, tiny scissors, and exquisite threads are in every sewing kit, but the humble thimble is often overlooked.
I enjoy raw-edge appliqué for many reasons. It's certainly a faster way of appliqué quilting than than hand appliqué and I like the extra texture it brings to my fiber art.
Right now, I'm looking for quick quilting projects to make. Running through the file of quilting ideas I keep in my head, I remembered these sweet little free-motion stitched stockings by Diane Rusin Doran from Quilting Arts Gifts 2011.
Last week I blogged about tricks for machine stitching in circles. Today, I thought I'd share how to appliqué a circle.
During almost a year of sharing quilting ideas with you via the Quilting Daily blog, I've noticed something interesting: circles are popular. Whether the circles are sewn with hand stitching or machine quilting doesn't matter. Every time I write about circle motifs, the post gets a big response.
I just returned from the Quilt Market trade show in Houston, and my head is buzzing with ideas. There was so much to see: so many colorful booths filled with the latest fabrics, embellishments, and tools for quilt making.
Every Tuesday, the teams from Quilting Arts, Cloth Paper Scissors, and Stitch magazines gather in the common area of our office space for show and tell. Each week, we ooh and aah over projects big and small-from handmade quilts to encaustic experiments to toss pillow covers.
I almost fell off my chair laughing when I saw this fiber art postcard from U.K. artist Priscilla O'Rourke. It seems no sooner had she received her copy of the February/March issue of Quilting Arts Magazine than she turned a photo of the staff she found on the Editor's note page into quilted imagery.
I started Cloth Paper Scissors magazine back in 2004 in part to give voice to forms of art that mixed fabric and stitch with paint, glue, and embellishment but were not strictly speaking art quilts. Forms like altered books, fabric and paint collages, shrines, assemblages, and paper quilts.

Tara Reid arrived in Sydney, Australia on Saturday and apparently aged 30 years during the flight. Jesus, she looks likes she should be working the concession stand at a Bingo tournament. And then after work she can go home to her trailer in Orlando filled with cats, empty gin bottles, and put on a tattered bathrobe that says "Sassy" on the back. The government should put Tara Reid's face on cartons of cigarettes. Not only will people immediately stop smoking, they'll buy packs just to throw out their car window onto the freeway. You know, in case voodoo really works.
Tara Reid looks like my grandmother
I hate the VS line of "pink" it's not sexy. Teenage stuff.
Oh holy hell..
God she looks like the cryptkeeper.
I meant all the typos in the post..
Get it together dude. Bathrobe, not bathroom!!!
Awww, he fixed it..
budaily had this ages ago. and shes charging something mad. go see
This is the best site by far, but the new photo viewing format sucks. you can't click and just see the enlarged version of the photo you've clicked on: it requires another step. That said, please kindly ignore the fact that I've just implied that I wanted to see a larger picture of Tara Reid.
Holy crap, my eyes.
lol #3 – good call.
She looks like Gollum in the first pic!
She looks like Gollum in the first pic!
Mommy, make the scary wax-woman go away!
Why is she carrying a balloon? Did she bring her special balloon all the way from the States? When I first saw the picture, after retching, I thought she was wandering the halls of a hospital after undergoing some radical, but tragically unsuccessful, treatment.
Who woulda thought the flashing of one augmented boob a few years back would result in this? Gone are the days she could crawl, anally bleeding, out of Dennis Rodman's bung-alow… gone are the days of her watching Paris get waved through another velvet rope as she dies a little inside… gone are the days her rippled belly engengered so much interest… gone are her days as a thousandaire. I believe we refer to that color as "whorange".
dongball – this just started relatively recently. i'm with you on all accounts – i need my trainwrecks just a click away, not 7.
come on superficial – put it back to how it was please!
Tara Reid looks like she's on the way to looking like the next Phillis Diller from Match Game fame. Wow, how she has fallen far from the hottie we saw in Van Wilder.
Then I want to motorboat your Grandma's boobies…. Brbrbbrbrbrbrbrbrb!
OK, THAT I wouldn't do with your weiner. That's more gross than the brit-gina and paris' vaccum mouth…
#7 and 13, not only that but it is making the site RIDICULOUSLY slow..
I feel like I'm on DIAL-UP!!!!
Ok, Serious Question: What exactley does Tara do for a living. I see her on this site, and occasionally on Extra, but Job wise? She hasnt starred in anything since American Pie. Shes not on TV. So why all the Jet Setting? always at the beach, now Sydney? I'm being honest here, not trying to make a joke or anything. She couldnt have possibly made that much money in her short lived career as an actress. Anyone have a clue how shes pulling this off?
I don't mind the new picture format too much — as long as I'm viewing the site in a browser. In the RSS feed, it's broken and I get a bunch of missing image links. That's annoying.
Who is the low down no good egg suckin dog responsible for this change in format?
I guess that International Date Line was too much for Tara's plastic surgery to handle. Man, she's a wreck.
OMG! She's HIDEOUS!…she started sliding downhill right after Josie and the Pussycats. And you spoiled youngsters and newbies to the internet have NO IDEA what "slow" is. Oh, boo-hoo-hoo! I had to wait 2 more seconds to see some beast's face! Cry me a river! I once repaired computers with a 10 Mhz clock speed and we thought 20Kb/s was fast!
New picture format has broken the RSS feed…
when did Tara start chemo? she's on chemo, right?
#19 I think she make her living as a crackwhore. Not even the main crackwhore, but assistant crackwhore..
Having just made this long flight to Sydney, NSW recently, it's not surprising she looks like a weathered tarp covered in glitter. I'm not sure I came out so well myself.
#23 you're old.
I was going to comment on the fact that a flight to Australia from the United States is long and tiring and I'm sure a lot of people come out looking like this… but you'd think Tara Reid would fix herself a littttle tiny bit more than this, considering she is still getting photographs taken of her (despite no longer having a career).
Plus, I'm pretty positive that the appearance of her orange skin, skeleton like neck, and saggy chest result from something other than an airplane ride.
"Grandmother", HA-HA! The only thing I'm seeing are two breasts (?) and a gigantic face. Ladies, take-it from Tara; gigantic balloon-tits make you really attractive. Oh, and an incredibly emaciated neck. Lose neck-fat, stat!
Wow….if your grandma looks like Tara Reid, then your grandma is freaking HOT.
looks like she had a supersized glass of aids to drink….
poster child for why we should all slather on the sunscreen
The fact that she's flaunting her plebian Victoria's Secret Pink wardrobe shows how much of a D-List star she really is.
she looks like Bea Arthur…..'s mother!!
Ewwwww…..And she looks MAAAAAAD skinny! What the hell, Tara, back to the old yeyo, girl?
19 – Sadly, people still pay c, d, and e list celebs to hawk their stuff. And, even sadder, there are men and boys around you would pay to get her autograph and a picture with her (sigh).
after she went to the airport she went to SKYBAR
she looks like pam anderson with no makeup ….. you can all see her on that fab new site "eeeeeewwwwwwww.com"
Actually the saddest thing is that one lonely balloon shes carrying for no reason, it looks like shes being discharged from the hospital!?!?
Then your grandma needs to lay off the sauce and Mystic Tan.
So this is what it looks like to have the life sucked out of you…
"Grandma, I'm not going anywhere with you. People will think I'm hanging out with Tara Reid!"
Yes, the new photo format SUCKS!! Put it back to the old way, when you could just click on the image you wanted to see englarged. Hmpf. I don't want to see all the photos. blah.
Can you say, "ANOREXIA NERVOSA"
Who is Britney's fan? I got a news that she had a profile at interracialconnect.com, a niche interracial dating site for singles from each race. seems the username is britenybabe there. wanna check and IM her there. OMG.
This is how you look after years of partying and getting screwed. Britney, this is your future and if you don't change your way.
um, is this post sponsored by AA or the anti-tobacco people? Cause I think I just quit smoking and drinking
So I left this picture open and left my comp for a min, I came back and my niece and nephew who are just learning to speak are saying ewwwwwwww in unison at my comp. It was kinda funny that even at that age they know she is gross.


text: Red Bull Ring unlikely to host F1 soon 12 May, 2011 Dietrich Mateschitz May 12 (GMM) Austrian billionaire Dietrich Mateschitz has repeated his recent claim that Formula 1's return to his homeland in the near future is a "more than minor" chance. The Red Bull mogul was speaking as the former Grand Prix venue at Zeltweg, previously called A1-Ring but now renamed the Red Bull Ring, is ready to re-open. Mateschitz has rebuilt the facility which had been demolished following its last Formula 1 event in 2003, at a huge cost. It has obtained Formula 1 homologation status, moving the likes of Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel to admit they would like to see the Red Bull Ring added to the Grand Prix calendar. Bernie Ecclestone said in Turkey that a return to Austria is "possible". But Mateschitz told Kleine Zeitung: "If you look at the new Formula 1 circuits, the ones that came recently and the ones that are coming, one has to say the probability of formula one returning to Spielberg is more than minor." Triple world champion and Niki Lauda agrees that the chances are small, but he said: "There are several obstacles to overcome, but, firstly, no one knows what Mr Mateschitz is planning." Tweet

Osteoarthritis is on the rise, and it's affecting people at younger ages. Experts believe this phenomenon is partly a result of the increased incidence of obesity. Every extra pound puts three extra pounds of pressure across each knee—one of the most common sites of osteoarthritis. Research shows that people who are obese and have knee replacement surgery are on average about eight years younger than normal-weight patients, and their pain scores and complication rates are much higher too. The link between pounds and risk of osteoarthritis isn't limited to the strain that excess weight puts on joints. Fat cells churn out hormones, including leptin, adiponectin and resistin, which are thought to damage joints. The more fat a person carries on her body, the more of these hormones she has circulating. What's more, osteoarthritis is no longer thought of as just a wear-and-tear disease, but is believed to be exacerbated by inflammation, which can lead to swelling and worsen pain, and free radicals, which can damage cartilage. The good news? Many of these factors can be improved with some simple changes to your diet.
•If you're overweight, lose weight, advises Patience White, M.D., vice president of public health at the Arthritis Foundation. Studies show that shedding even a few excess pounds can reduce pain and may slow the progression of osteoarthritis.
•Follow the Mediterranean diet. It may help you lose weight, and thanks to its high concentration of fish and nuts, it is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to be anti-inflammatory. Theoretically, omega-3s could help reduce the inflammation in joints. The Mediterranean diet is also rich in antioxidants, which may combat the free radicals that degrade joints, says Cathy Rosenbaum, Pharm.D., a holistic clinical pharmacist in Cincinnati and CEO of RxIntegrative Solutions (www.rxintegrativesolutions.com).
•Eat foods rich in nutrients that may help regenerate collagen and improve the health of the joints. These include zinc, found in chicken, eggs, oysters and beef; vitamins C (citrus fruits, tomatoes, strawberries), D (fortified milk, fish liver oils) and E (wheat germ, vegetable oils, nuts); phosphorus (beef, poultry and fish, especially salmon and halibut); and calcium (dairy products, sardines, dark-green leafy vegetables, fortified cereals and juice).

Listen Historian's Notes Resources Transcript
This edition of the Almanac was a bit of a stretch. The only way I could
make the information relevant to any particular week of history was by utilizing a now much doubted interpretation of the runes on Poteau Mountain. I felt that the overall story of the rune stone was interesting enough to take the chance so I went ahead and used it for this particular week. A lot of what I'll call secret history lies within the borders of Oklahoma. I think it is really interesting material.
Farley, G. In plain sight: old world records in ancient America. Columbus, GA: Isac Press, 1994.
The longboats make a long trek this week on the Oklahoma Audio Almanac.
Hello, Im Steven Knoche Kite.
Situated in the middle of what is now the 48 contiguous United States the land that makes up Oklahoma
has been crossed and re-crossed by a large number of diverse groups. Perhaps of all the tribes, troops,
and various entourages crossing our state none has caused more controversy than the Vikings. Vikings in
Oklahoma, is that possible? Some say yes and others no; the argument has raged for decades, possibly centuries.
The argument for the existence of Norsemen in Oklahoma rests primarily on various rocks found throughout
the state on which are believed to be carved Nordic runes, the alphabet of early Scandinavian cultures.
The argument against the Vikings lays mainly in the kinds of runes carved and the fact that no one
can decisively interpret the letters. Rune stones, as they are sometimes called, have been found throughout
the eastern half of Oklahoma. There have been two small stones with runic carvings found in southeast
Oklahoma, one near Poteau as well as one within the city limits of Shawnee. The most well known of the
Oklahoma finds, however, is the Heavener Rune Stone located on Poteau Mountain just north of the town
of Heavener. The Heavener rune stone is large and impressive, a sixteen-inch slab of rock standing twelve
feet tall, ten feet wide. Inscribed on the stone are eight symbols or runes ranging in height from 9 1/2
to 6 1/2 inches tall. Some language experts have expressed doubt over the authenticity of the runes while
others believe them to be proof positive that the Vikings visited Oklahoma.
The connection between the Heavener Stone and this particular week lays in the first official translation
of the runes. A cryptographer and runic expert studying the Heavener Rune Stone translated the inscription
to read November 11, of the year 1012. Could a Viking explorer have stood on Poteau Mountain this week
almost one thousand years ago carving this date? There is little doubt that the symbols are runes, but
experts have concerns regarding the date translation. Other linguists have translated the inscription
has meaning to invite barter, while still others believe the rock is a boundary marker with the inscription
reading Glomes Valley.
Cryptic carvings this week on the Almanac.
I'm Steven Knoche Kite.

Let's face it, as Canadians, you and I may be turning into selfish jerks, generally.
Attawapiskat may be more proof. Why does the current government not give a damn that some Canadians are living in worse than third world conditions?
Why did the Prime Minister not arrive in Attawapiskat to survey the current misery as he did in Jacmel, Haiti? We love to get on our goodness high horses and launch our shiny, new CC177 Globemaster transport planes around the world as caring, empathic people, but our own native people, screw them.
It's not all the faults of Liberals and Conservatives either, it's us, dear fellow citizens, because we don't really give a shit about our First Nations people. And the current government, a weird and devious bunch that does nothing ever, that does not appeal to populist bullshit myth (I work, they don't, they're lazy, I'm not, yada,yada) is only interested in our selfish side, because that's where the votes are.
So nothing will be done to let these people live with a modicum of respect and in liveable environments. And yet these people are financially audited way far more than we are as citizens, and at the same time, massively underfunded in every aspect of social programming compared to you and me. Yes, they have problems, but hey, I'm still getting over the five kids being gun-murdered in Alberta by another jealous kid. As they say, shit happens.
Every day in Attawapiskat, when shit happens, some of them don't even have toilets.
