Daycare drop-off without tears

All right, this is a tip I'm a little hesitant to write about since I've tried it all of once so far, but it worked so well this one time I feel it would be a shame to keep it to myself!

Mikko's been attending a German-immersion preschool for almost a year now. I've always been a little conflicted over our decision to have him go, but as it happens, it's been a really good thing for us to have those two half-days a week for Sam and me to get some toddler-free work time in (today, for instance, Sam is shrink wrapping DVDs with the dangerous heat gun and I am editing Carnival of Natural Parenting posts), and for Mikko to have regular contact with more energetic and creative caregivers and a sweet group of kids.

Lately, though, we've been going through a regressive phase of "No Schule, no Schule" (see? — bilingual! Ha!) as a litany throughout the car or bus ride and major waterworks when we pull up to the building. I feel awful. I don't know whether it makes sense to let him stay home for awhile or not. It's not a question of "giving in" vs. "showing him who's boss" (ugh!), more just that sending him to preschool is a decision that works best for our family as a whole and so it's our long-term goal — in that sense, then, isn't it better to stay consistent and upbeat about school rather than emphasizing his current anxieties by taking a break?

With that in mind, we're trying to determine how best to make drop-off less traumatic for us all. I know for a fact, both from discreet spying and from the teachers' reports, that Mikko calms down as soon as Sam or I exit, and when we come to pick him up, he's having a good time and doesn't want to leave.

The main teacher's suggestion, and my mom's as well when she was visiting and witnessed the breakdowns, is to drop him off as quickly as possible. Lisa at Edenwild already wrote a perfect post explaining why I don't like the drop-and-run style of leaving my child. It seems disrespectful to him to sneak away and not explain that I'm going and when I'll be back and say a proper goodbye. That said, I do understand the concept of not lingering, something that's very difficult in this particular preschool, since the teacher (the same one telling me to leave quickly) is very chatty (often about what he thinks I should be doing better as a parent, you see!) and I seem to be always stuck trying to talk with him at the same time as I soothe Mikko and get him interested in some toys. Now, when I do make must-leave-now noises, the teacher steps up to hold Mikko and wave goodbye to me and then find a new activity, so I'm pleased with that; I wish the teachers were as sensitive to Mikko and the other kids as Lisa is as a nursery volunteer, but I'm glad at least they've bonded well with Mikko. Still, dropping your child off quickly can't happen unless the teacher cooperates with you! I can't just drop him off crying with no one standing by to calm him.

BUT, the other tip the teacher and my mom gave me for drop-off worked a treat today! So here it is, finally:

If your child is old enough, have him or her walk into the school.

It's so simple, isn't it? Mikko gets clingy when he's feeling threatened, which is understandable, and I automatically was picking him up to cuddle him close as we walked in. But my mom and the teacher pointed out that if he walks by himself, he takes more of a responsibility for entering the school. Then it's not his parent dragging and forcing him into the school — he's now chosen it for himself. I also offered him his backpack to wear, but he chose to have me wear it. Still, I think the general concept is a good idea, particularly for a two-year-old who's asserting his own autonomy anyway. I let him choose which door we went in, and he chose the one (of course) with an elevator just inside. He pushed the buttons on the elevator, and when we get into Schule, he takes his own shoes and jacket off, with some help.

I think all of it together helps make him feel more in control. He knows what's happening and when it's happening, because he's performing it himself.

So there you have it. I know it won't work with pre-walking kids, but it's worth a shot for the rest!

If anyone has any other ideas on how to gently separate from your child, please let me have your tips. We've started our babysitting co-op, so soon Mikko will be exposed to new caregivers and environments, and we'll see how he responds to that!

Olivia said...

That does sound like a great idea. Lately, my 10 month old has not been happy when I leave for work in the morning, even though she gets to stay with daddy. We figured out that if he picks her up and takes her to another room to play instead of me dropping her off and leaving, she is much happier.

I don't have experience yet with with daycare/preschool drop off, so I will be tucking this suggestion away for later use.

molly said...

Oh, my, that picture of Mikko is just precious. How do you ever put him down? :)

Eden is going through this very thing, but she's still in diapers so we haven't started preschool yet...but we've got the whole "I want to be independent" waterworks thing going on. I'm going to try morphing this idea into other situations, like asking her to take Elmo out to the car and put him in his "carseat," or having her take off her own clothes to get ready for her bath instead of me doing it. (We've tried that last one already, and it cuts the tears off like magic.)

It's just nice to know how normal this all is.

Amber said...

These days my daughter tells me every school morning that she doesn't want to go. No tears or anything, she just objects on principle. And then when I go to pick her up she doesn't want to come home. For her, it's less about school being difficult than transitions.

I have no tips to ease separation, because I've never dealt with crying when I left. However, I can say that knowing that it's the TRANSITIONS more than the SEPARATION that's hard for me child has helped me to assuage any guilt I might have felt. She enjoys herself once she's in a situation, she just doesn't always want to move from one place to the next. And who can blame her? I sometimes feel the same way as an adult.

Melodie said...

What a great idea! I hadn't heard of this one. Will certainly tell my daycare parents as the need arises. Thanks!

Hobo Mama said...

Thanks, everyone!

And thanks for mentioning transitions, Amber! That's definitely a challenging aspect for Mikko, too. Getting dressed, going out, getting into the car, getting out of the car — they all require transitioning, and they all take a loooong time now we have a 2-year-old. I try to avoid scheduling a series of run-in errands when I have him with me for that reason!

Molly: Those are great ideas. I'm going to borrow those! :) As for the picture, can you stand the cute?! That was from about a month into his preschool days. I still get sad looking at his first day pics, because I know how overwhelmed he must have been.

Olivia: Thanks for mentioning daddy drop-offs. We experiment with trading off who does the drop-off and you're right; I think the tears are less when Sam does it.

brandonsmom said...

we'll be starting preschool later this year, and i'm positivte i'll need some tips on this because i have an extremely clingy little boy. such a cute picture of mikko, and i'm impressed that the german is already wroking! :)

Betsy B. Honest said...

I as well send my preschooler to a German language Kinderschule. She's 4 now and has been going for almost 2 years and we do not have drop off tears - she loves it! But when she started going she was 2.5 and I just really needed a little time for naps with my newborn. And there were tears. Even though she'd been going to part-time daycare for a year before that.

And Frau Dora and Frau Erika at the Kinderschule totally recommended the drop and run technique and would shoot each other these totally German looks everytime my little daughter would cling to my leg sobbing at drop off. But I couldn't just shake her off my leg and run. That's absurd.

The Frau's thought it was my fault because "girl sees mother make big deal of it so girl makes big deal of it too." But I so wasn't.

It got way worse before it got better where she started throwing these huge scenes that were nearly impossible for me to deal with while holding a newborn in a sling. I once turned around after dragging her sobbing all the way to the door (we were about 20 minutes late by the time we got there) because I was crying by then too (very post-natal) and oh dear... what a mess.

What finally worked for us is I walked her through every little micro-step of going to school. First we'll park the stroller under the big tree, then we'll go through the big door and mom will hold it open, and you can walk up the ramp, and then we'll take your coat off and hang it at your hook... etc. etc.

I have no idea why that worked with her so well but when I started taking her anxiety seriously instead of thinking it was a big stunt to make my life harder everything resolved with an efficiency and speed that was almost... dare I say... German.

Betsy B. Honest said...

Also it totally was about transition anxiety, not seperation anxiety.

And that picture? So adorable. Oh the curls. The chubby wubby cheeks. So so cute.

Lisa - edenwild said...

That solutions makes perfect sense, considering the situation, because it sounds like he does enjoy school, but maybe he just wanted to be in control. The transitions thing makes sense, too. Maybe transitions are just easier when they get to have some say with them?

Lisa - edenwild said...

Oh, and thanks for mentioning my posts!

Dear Hobo Mama. I read this post a while ago, before my son was even attending daycare. I made a mental note and today I tried it out. My son (17 months) cries when I drop him off, although he is happily playing and wants to show me all sorts of things when I pick him up. This morning I gave him on a light little backpack, some shoes he chose out of the drawer and we walked to daycare (it is a 2 min walk from our house - 10 min when you need to stop and look at a million things on the way!). He walked up to the daycare where the woman looking after him was waiting and lovingly greeted him. He let her help him out of the jacket and went to go play with a toy. He looked around when I said goodbye, but did not seem to mind me leaving at all. I am sure this little tip of yours made the miracle happen!

Lauren @ Hobo Mama said...

@Anne-Mette: Yea! I'm so glad it helped. That sounds like a lovely transition for him. I hope it continues to go well for you both.

Bulldog cuts

Guillaume Latendresse’s older brother, Olivier, was among the players cut by the Hamilton Bulldogs toay. Latendresse has been assigned to the Cincinnati Cyclones of the ECHL. Thomas Beauregard and goaltender Loic Lacasse were also among the players sent to the Cyclones. All three were with the Cyclones earlier this year when they won the Kelly Cup.

  1. krob1000 says:

    I actually wanted Beuaregard to play for Hamilton this year…I really thought he could be a diamond in the rough. I think that little Desharnais guy may have just scooped his job. Beauregard has a nose for the net and you can tell his on ice intellect is exceptional.

  2. mjames says:

    I think you are spot on with your comment on Beauregard. He did not look that bad whe he played with the Habs. I hope he makes it to Hamilton.

  3. nightmare_49 says:

    krob – When HabFan pointed out the demotion last night it hit me the same way and i noticed thru training camp that the Habs purposely kept Beauregard away from Desharnois as a test to both of them. When the Bulldogs have a few forwards injured i’m sure Beau will be the 1st call up. In Cincinnati Beau would get much more ice time to develop and prove them wrong.

  4. krob1000 says:

    I hope so and I am glad to see from both of you that Beauregard’s play didn’t go unnoticed by others to…I thought maybe I was partial tohim because I am a little bit bias at times in favour of offense but he seems smart and appears to have tha killer instinct offensively that is hard to find. He is always aware and seemed to make the right plays last year and this year IMO in the exhibition play but I only saw the televised games and one in Ottawa so perhaps he played his best hockey in those games. I hope he earns his way to the farm real soon.

  5. Skotbot says:

    I agree wholeheartedly. (sic?)

    I assume they figure he will get more ice time, etc down in Cinci.
    Im not toooooo familiar with the guy, however he has stood out more than others.

    Do I listen to pop music because I am miserable?
    Or am I miserable because I listen to pop music?

  6. usversusthem says:

    Man, I feel bad for Olly Lats. Playing two levels of professional hockey below your younger brother, but in the same organization, must kinda suck.

  7. HabFab says:

    Unfortunately one of Beauregards problems is that he is not owned by Montreal but rather by the Bulldogs.The Canadiens are going to push their players first for those roster spots.

Baggage Allowance

Always worth checking luggage and baggage allowances before you travel

Baggage allowances can be complicated, varying according to routes and class of seat and taking into account the number, weight and dimensions of bags, free allowances, and ever-changing aviation rules. In general, excess baggage and special items can be carried for an additional fee.

For all airlines flying into and out of the UK, a recent safety requirement has been introduced restricting the weight of each single item of luggage to 32kg. This is not your full baggage allowance, rather a measure to reduce strains and injuries among baggage handling staff.

Remember, this information is liable to change so always check on your airline and airport websites before you start packing.

Hair Wars: Amanda Bynes Does the Half Shave

Surprise — the troubled one-time star's latest 'do actually is trendy.

@AmandaBynes/Twitter; Getty Images

Amanda Bynes' actions usually cause her to look like she's emerged from a trailer park. Case in point: her face piercings, matted faux-hair extensions and penchant for wearing hooker heels on the cardio floor of Equinox in West Hollywood.

On Thursday night, the She's the Man star made her latest publicly announced appearance change by undergoing a half shave — the first thing she's done in a very long time that, dare we say it, actually is kind of cool.

Rihanna has been sporting a half shave on her Diamond's World Tour, while fellow performer Cassie has been a longtime fan of the 'do. Brazilian model Alice Dellal, who has been a face of Chanel, also is a half shave devotee.

STORY: Hair Wars: Rihanna's Mane Man on Her Latest Shaved 'Do

Bynes took to Twitter to share the news.

"I buzzed half my head like @cassie! No more old photos! This is the new me! I love it!"

Whether she's en route to a trendy turnaround or is slowly creeping into old Britney Spears baldness territory, only Bynes can tell.
For now, we just dig her hair.

Up-and-Comers Topline 'Silent Hill' Sequel

Adelaide Clemens and Kit Harington have signed on for the video-game sequel, which begins shooting Monday in Toronto.

Adelaide Clemens and Kit Harington have signed to star in Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, the sequel to video game movie Silent Hill.

The movie, being directed by Michael J. Bassett (who helmed Solomon Kane, which never got U.S. distribution), begins shooting in Toronto Monday. Samuel Hadida and Don Carmody are producing.

According to the producers, Revelations builds on the father-daughter storyline from the 2006 movie. Monday’s announcement summarizes the new plot this way: “For years, Heather Mason (Clemens) and her father have been on the run, always one step ahead of dangerous forces that she doesn’t fully understand. Now on the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by terrifying nightmares and the disappearance of her father, Heather discovers she's not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her in Silent Hill forever.”

Sean Bean played the father in the first film and it’s unclear whether he will return.

International sales are being handled by Lionsgate.

Clemens, repped by UTA, RGM Artist Group and manager Ashley Josephson, appeared in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. CAA-repped Harrington appears in HBO’s upcoming series Game of Thrones.

Nicholas Hoult joins 'Mad Max' movie

Zoe Kravitz, two others in talks to walk 'Fury Road'

Nicholas Hoult is walking "Fury Road," the new "Mad Max" movie from series writer-director George Miller.

Zoe Kravitz, Teresa Palmer and Adelaide Clemens also are in various states of negotiations to join the actioner.

The movie is set a short while after the story detailed in 1985's "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome," which keeps Mad Max, the character originated by Mel Gibson, relatively young.

Details are being kept quiet, but it is known that Hoult's character is named Nux. Kravitz, whose character's name is Five Wives, Palmer and Clemens are in a convoy being chased by bad guys.

Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy are starring in the pic. The movie will shoot in Australia this summer; Warner Bros. will distribute.

The U.K.'s Hoult made his feature debut in "About a Boy" and starred in the British series "Skins." His work in "A Single Man" earned him a BAFTA nomination. The actor, repped by UTA and Independent, also will appear in Warners' remake of "Clash of the Titans."

Sunset Marquis: Secrets of Rock 'n' Roll's Wild Hotel

The Black Crowes at the Sunset Marquis
The Black Crowes at the Sunset Marquis

Flea's rooftop cannonball, David Lee Roth's roomful of cocaine: Delicious (and sometimes debauched) tales of excess from the music industry's legendary hangout.

This story first appeared in the Feb. 15 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.

When it comes to hotels, Hollywood’s A-list splits its allegiance widely -- sleeping around all over town, from the Sunset Tower and Chateau Marmont to the Four Seasons, Peninsula, Montage, Beverly Hills Hotel and Hotel Bel-Air. The music crowd, however, has just one real mecca: the Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood. The bond has remained strong ever since it opened 50 years ago this April, just as the Sunset Strip rock clubs, only a block away, began to take off. And it’s never more apparent than on Grammy weekend, when the hotel is packed with nominees who consider it a second home. (This year alone, 21 of the nominated artists have recorded at the hotel’s in-house subterranean studio, NightBird.)

To celebrate the Marquis’ half-century mark, THR interviewed more than two dozen big-name performers, behind-the-scenes players and longtime employees for a backstage pass to the hotel’s hidden history. Jam sessions by the pool? Cocaine in the villas? Beautiful chanteuses stretched across mixing consoles in lace and roses? The Sunset Marquis is where cliched rock ’n’ roll fantasies actually come true.

PHOTOS: THR's Hitmakers 2013: The Creative Minds Behind Katy Perry, Bruno Mars and Flo Rida's Biggest Singles

George Rosenthal, founding owner: It was purposefully built as a hotel for the entertainment industry. I wanted to emulate the Garden of Allah [silent film star Alla Nazimova’s mansion-turned-hotel on Sunset Boulevard], the environment they had there, at least psychologically. It was a regeneration of what I’d only read about: a wonderful gathering place for the exchange of ideas for writers, musicians, people in the film business.

Mark Rosenthal, co-owner and CEO: It really started as an apartment hotel. Basically, every room had a kitchenette.

Paul McGuinness, U2 manager: It was inexpensive. It wasn’t at all luxurious. In those days there was no restaurant, no bar. You had a direct line to Turner’s liquor store, though. So there was a sort of self-catering.

G. Rosenthal: The hotel later expanded to the three properties to the north, which we call the villas, and then to the new restaurant and the villas to the back.

Bob Gruen, photographer: In the early ’70s, it was much funkier than it is now.

McGuinness: There was Astroturf around the pool.

Ann Wilson, Heart: I hated the Astroturf.

STORY: Jack White Covers THR's 2nd Annual Music Issue

Paul Rodgers, Bad Company: I remember staying at the Sunset Marquis in 1968 with Free. It was a hip boutique hotel long before boutique hotels were hip.

Billy Gibbons, ZZ Top: We ran across the Marquis while performing on the Sunset Strip with the Moving Sidewalks way back in 1969. We were looking for a side street to park the band car. Alta Loma Road provided Marquis guests with the back-alley shortcut off Sunset. Handy!

Paul Fishkin, co-founder, Modern Records: The Chateau Marmont was cool as shit and had incredible history, but it was sort of a dump. The Riot House [Continental Hyatt House, now the Andaz West Hollywood] had its own particular rock and roll legacy. So did the Tropicana.

Michael Des Barres, singer: The Tropicana was for the seven-guys-in-a-van bands with the bass player with extraordinary halitosis.

Sharon Oreck, music video producer: After you had some album sales, you could go to the Sunset Marquis.

Fishkin: It attracted all the hip musicians and business people that came out of the ’60s culture.

Penelope Spheeris, documentary filmmaker: It was a hideaway -- you couldn’t find it if you were drunk.

Gruen: First of all it’s on a cul-de-sac. So you don’t just drive past it on Sunset Boulevard. And then when you go in, you go down a few steps and into a long, lower hallway where the front desk is. And then you enter into the bright center, where you’re surrounded by the hotel. For New Yorkers who don’t really want to be in L.A., L.A. is out there somewhere on the other side of the walls, but inside you’re kind of protected.

Dave Navarro, Jane's Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers: Somehow they’ve managed to keep it kind of underground. I never grasped how they did that.

Cyndi Lauper: I first went to the Sunset Marquis in 1980. I was just signed. I was very excited. It was a rock and roll hotel. It wasn’t stuffy. They had trees and a garden and even bunnies for a while. And the room that was in back, I think it was 135, I dyed The Bangles’ hair there for their video. Ozzy and Sharon [Osbourne] stayed there, and Kelly, when she was little, sneaked into the whirlpool with me.

Deborah Harry: I love the gardens and the feeling of solitude they give.

Des Barres: A lot of the kids that checked in to that hotel had never been in a hotel before. For an 18-year-old Brit from the north of England, room service was like being served by Islamic vestal virgins.

Bettinardi BB32 Putter Review

Written by: Tony Korologos | Date: Thursday, April 29th, 2010
Categories: Golf ClubsGolf EquipmentGolf GearReviews

This is the final putter review for Putter Week 2010.  Did I save the best for last?

I’ve been drooling over Bettinardi Putters for some time.  Bettinardi Golf has really established a good brand which is associated with very high quality and high performance.  My new BB32 mallet putter carries on that high level of quality and performance and possibly even raises the bar.

Bettinardi BB32 Putter

I knew I found a great putter when I hit the first putt with it.  I was in bare feet, taking photos of a bunch of putters for reviews.  I threw a ball down, tore the wrapper off the head and didn’t even do a practice stroke or line it up.  I knocked in about a 25 footer with about a foot of break.  How good would this thing be if I took the time to aim or tried some practice strokes?!?!

BB32 Design

The BB32 putter is a face balanced mallet.  What is face balanced?  You can tell if a putter is face balanced by balancing the putter via the shaft, on your finger.  When balanced, the face will be pointing up to the sky and be perfectly parallel to the ground.  When mallets are face balanced, at least to me, they feel “right.”  For me to switch from a blade to a mallet could only happen if the mallet was face balanced.

Unlike lower quality putters, the putter head is not cast and then skim milled, where they just mill the outside.  The entire putter head is milled from a single block of material.  Bettinardi uses a local supplier which provides them soft materials for their heads, resulting in softer feel.  Yes I know, “soft metal” doesn’t sound logical, but when you are talking about the precision of putting, it can make a big difference, especially with distance control.

The double bend shaft helps put the center of gravity and balance right where it needs to be in the swing.

The BB32 is available in two weights, 332 grams and 348 grams.  The weight of the putter can be seen milled into the label on the bottom of the head, inside the single honeycomb.  Mine is 348 grams.

Bettinardi BB32 Putter Milled Face

Speaking of honeycombs (not the cereal), the face of the putter has a honeycomb pattern milled into it (pictured above).  This pattern is patented by Bettinardi.  The milling provides even more feel, and with the putter’s three degrees of loft gets the ball rolling quicker and smoother than standard putters.

Bettinardi BB32 PutterBB32 Looks

All you have to do is look at this thing and you almost fall in love.  She is a beauty.  I might buy her a few drinks and try to take advantage of her.

There’s nothing busy or distracting about this putter.  The black nickel finish looks very stunning, clean and classy. The single white aiming line really stands out and impresses itself on the player contrasted against the black nickel finish.

BB32 Feel

Those soft metals I mentioned before, along with the perfect weighting and honeycomb milling in the face, produce an incredible feel.  This putter is buttery smooth and simply loves to travel on the intended target line.  I’ve mentioned many times, that to me it is important for a putter to “want” to travel on line.  This baby does.

Distance control with the BB32 is almost automatic.

The BB32 comes in the two weights I mentioned, 332 and 348 grams.  Available shaft lengths are 35″ and 34″.  And good news for lefties, a left handed model is available.

Bettinardi makes all their putters in Chicago, not China.  That way they can keep a close eye on the manufacturing process and quality.  They don’t crank out thousands of clubs a day.  That isn’t what they are about.  To Bettinardi, quality and craftsmanship are paramount, and it shows in the performance and enjoyment I get out of my BB32.

Hooked On Golf Blog

I’m watching the 3rd round of the Wells Fargo Championship yesterday on my killer system.  Phil Mickelson is close to being a factor, but his driving is so bad that he might miss the planet if it didn’t have gravity.

Phil gets to the 15th hole, a par-5.  Right during Phil’s tee shot the “get in the hole” pinhead in the gallery does his thing and yells “get in the hole.”

Memo to pinheads who yell at Tour events

Shut up.  It isn’t cool to yell “get in the hole” or “you’re the man.”  You are a moron.  Take up viewing another sport where heckling and being a drunk horse’s ass is acceptable.

Memo specifically to yesterday’s pinhead

“Get in the hole dude,” do you realize you yelled get in the hole when Phil hit a TEE SHOT on a PAR-5?  Let me help you out since you know nothing about golf.  The tee shot on a par-5 won’t have a chance of going in the hole, because… it is a par-5 and the hole is almost 600 yards away.  It will take a minimum of two shots to get to the hole.

To make the heckler look like even more of an idiot (which I wasn’t sure was possible), Phil’s shot was awful.  The drive went in the water hazard left of the fairway.  Perhaps if the bonheaded moron has to yell something in Phil’s swing he should yell “get in the fairway.”

Sam Helberg
Aaron Davitch
South Site
Date Given:
July 30, 2012

The volunteers who serve in Sunday School and Wednesday Connection are men and women who can speak and live the truth of God’s word before the eyes of our young people, in the midst of the ups and downs of life.

Sam Helberg is one of these brothers, and he shares his passion below and tells how God blessed him as he served.

Psalm 145:4 has always been a dear verse to me: "One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts." I know that if it were not for the faithful teaching of my pastor and Sunday school leaders when I was growing up, I would not have the same faith in our Lord as I do now.

Now that I am older, it is my responsibility to help train the next generation for Christ. With this in mind, I volunteered as a 5th–6th grade boys small group leader, little realizing how God was going to stretch and grow me more than the young men I taught.

Through the year I faced unexpected challenges, including the death of a friend, a breakup with a girlfriend, two moves, a job loss, and near bankruptcy. Each experience was a chance for me to share God’s everlasting love with my group. Each event was a time for me to teach by living the example, not just speaking about it. Each incident made me point to our Savior; and each time, the teacher become the student.

I only hope my students were as blessed from God as I was. I cannot wait for next year!

We are trusting God to provide team leaders, teachers, worship leaders, small group leaders, and one-on-one aides to serve the children of Bethlehem in the coming year. Perhaps you are one of them.

If you are interested in joining us in ministry, please contact the following representatives:

Release  Horizon League · @ ·

INDIANAPOLIS -- Loyola’s Gina Valgoi (Detroit, Mich.) and Milwaukee’s Shelby Schaal (Waterford, Wis.) have been named the Horizon League Women’s Track and Field Athletes of the Week for the week of April 16 - April 22.

The previous record was set by Kristyne McGuinn back in 2001. The junior currently leads the Horizon League standings and ranks 77th in the nation in the event.

Schaal, a senior for the Panthers, competed in the heptathlon at the Kansas Relays. She won the event with 5,063 points and broke the school record during the process. She now stands 40th in the nation and 26th in the region. Schaal set season-best times in both the 200m (26.10) and the 100m hurdles (14.57) during the seven events.

Loyola will be back in action this weekend at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa. Milwaukee will travel to cross-town rival Marquette for the Marquette Invitational.

What halter to get my horses for Christmas?

I am one of those people that likes to get their animals Christmas gifts. This year I plan on getting my horse and pony halters with their names on them.

I am not sure if I want to get nylon halters or leather halters for them. And if I get leather, I don't know if I should get them halters with nameplates or ones without and get nameplates separately.

The nylon halters I would get would be these: Saddles Tack Horse Supplies - ChickSaddlery.com Personalized Monogrammed Nylon Halter

The leather halters would either have a nameplate: Saddles Tack Horse Supplies - ChickSaddlery.com Popular Leather Sale Halter with Nameplate

Or I would order one separate and add it onto a nicer halter. I am kind of limited on the price as I am 16 and don't have a job, but I could always get it for them later using Christmas or birthday money (my birthday is 15 days after Christmas) or try and rake leaves or something for some spare cash.

I am leaning towards a nylon halter because I am afraid I will spend a lot of money on nice leather halters and they will get broken somehow, but leather looks classier IMO. Any suggestions? And, do you guys have any leather halters you like that I can get in horse and cob size, preferably dark brown?

I just use a plain rope halter on mine (as I don't care for "fancy" just to bring them to saddle), but I look to buy a nice girth for them for the holiday. So to each own.

But if I'd get a halter as a present (even if it's for the animal), I'd go with the leather one. Not sure about nameplate (that depends on how much more it cost for me), but it would be cute too.

Edit: I voted for #3... :)

I would go for either a leather one or a breakaway nylon halter.
My horse freaks if I tie him and the rope gets over his head and the only way he calms down is if his halter snaps... So a breakaway (whatever kind) is necessary. I've heard other people be in bad situations like that, so I'm always for breakaway (they sell breakaway tabs which are nice too)
    11-25-2012, 10:04 PM
I do have a few rope halters and some nylon ones, but they are kind of dirty. The orange clay here doesn't come out of anything, and last time I washed them they took forever to dry and weren't noticeably cleaner. I would like something to look nicer for when people come over and and end up seeing the horses, the farrier/vet comes over, or we take them places. Just want to class it up haha.

All of our horses have breakaway halters, with the leather crown piece, but again the orange mud stains them. I am a neat freak about my leather tack and clean it frequently, but the nylon doesn't clean well.

I guess this is more of a "what do I want for my horses?" thread haha, they probably couldn't care less with whatever I get them unless it involves food. I have never had leather halters though, so I have no clue which is best. So far it seems like leather is a winner, and I will get nameplates afterwards.
    11-28-2012, 12:31 AM
I would definitely go with leather halters if you say your halters are getting that dirty. You can always clean and condition leather and make it look nice which is much harder to do with rope halters or nylons. Also leather doesn't rub their face as raw if you leave them unattended in the pasture for a day or two depending on how well it fits them. And name plates aren't too expensive to invest in and they're a great addition to a nice leather halter. In my opinion, you don't have to spend a lot of money on a leather halter. As long as you clean it and condition it with lots of oil(I prefer olive oil which doesn't darken the leather too much and cleans as well as conditions because of its natural chemicals) it'll be soft and beautiful! Just make sure to not leave your horses with halters on in an area where they could catch themselves; in that case, no halter is very safe..
    11-28-2012, 08:34 PM
I guess because "my" colors are lime green and bright purple they get noticeable dingy and dirty faster than a navy or red would. I could try to get pictures tomorrow of what I mean if it'll help any.

Not sure if I am getting the leather halter with the nameplate(link in OP) or a halter I liked on smartpak.com for $55. I think adding a nameplate to that halter with the order is $12 but I am not sure.

How sturdy are leather halters and how easy are they to repair? I am thinking they are comparable to leather bridles, some brands are better than others and some are really sturdy while others aren't.

Registered Thoroughbred Gelding For Sale

Buzz Light - 2003 Registered Thoroughbred Gelding for sale

"Buzz" is a handsome, well built gelding. Standing at 16.2 hands tall, this boy would make an excellent jumping, eventing or dressage prospect. Buzz has never been raced or seen a track but would love some competition and a consistent job. He enjoys all the attention he can get! Buzz has a solid foundation on him. He is solid at walk, trot, canter, halt, back and knows his cues very well. Buzz has nice smooth gaits, is very light in his movements and doesn't drag his feet. This boy is very light in the mouth and doesn't pull against pressure on the bit. Buzz is very flexible and does well during bending exercises. I would say Buzz would prefer the arena over trails, but will do both. Buzz saddles ups nicely, is not cinchy and looks great in both a western and dressage saddle! He takes the bit with no problem, bathes, trailers well and stands for the farrier. Buzz has excellent, solid feet and is 100% sound.

~ Buzz is up to date on all vaccinations, de-worming, hoof care, sheath cleaning and has just had his teeth floated.

Horse Tack Review

Martin Saddlery
Chocolate One Ear Headstall with Silver Dots
Western Bridles

For Sale on eBay

Manufacturer: Martin Saddlery (View all products by Martin Saddlery)

Model: Chocolate One Ear Headstall with Silver Dots (View all Chocolate One Ear Headstall with Silver Dots reviews)

Category: Western Bridles

Purchase: I bought it from State Line Tack. It was $57. I bought it to match my Texas Star tack set. (The headstall wasn't small enough to hold my gag bit on my horse.) Unfortunately, SLT no longer carries it, and I'm unsure of where you could get it now.

Likes: Everything. The supple leather, the shiny dots, the even stitching and the all around good quality. It fits my horse great, and looks great on him. I've had people asking me where I got it. It's chocolate colored, and if I remember right they had one or two more colors you could get it in. I should have bought all of them.

Dislikes: I can't find anything that I don't like, honestly.

Quality: Wonderful. It's a great addition to any tack room. I really wish they had a matching breast collar for it.

Summary: I love it.

The National Archaeological Museum

If you enjoy history, archaeology and ancient relics you will definitely want to visit the National Archaeological Museum in Naples. The museum is one of the most important and leading archaeological museums in the world. It contains an unprecedented collection of Roman-Greco antiquities from Pompeii, Stabiae, Herculaneum and other archaeological sites located in and around the region of Campania. It is also the oldest archaeological museum in Europe.

The building which houses the museum was built during the later half of the 16th century, initially called the ‘Palace of the Royal Studies’. Among the most important in the museum is the Farnese collection of Charles of Bourbon, including Roman sculptures and portraits, added to the museum at the beginning of the 19th century and the archaeological findings from Herculaneum, Pompeii and Stabiae, towns buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

The museum contains over 100 various exhibitions located throughout the basement, mezzanine, ground and first floors of the museum, some dating as far back as 200 BC. Also in the collection are many sculptures attained from Pompeii, Herculaneum and other archaeological sites in Campania. The frescoes located throughout the museum, collected from various sites around Campania and southern Italy give us a wonderful insight into the everyday life in these cities during Ancient times. These paintings range from human sacrifices to burial rites to the beginning of spring. What perhaps amazes the most is that these frescoes, sculptures and other antiquities have survived so well the eruption of Vesuvius as well as over 2000 years of existence.

Opening times: Tuesdays closed, Wednesday-Monday   9am – 7.30pm

Admission: €6,50, 18-25 years €3,25, under 18 and over 65 free

How to get to the museum:

The museum is located in the historical centre of Naples, at the top of ‘Via Toledo’ and is easily reachable by foot from Hostel of the Sun, by taking the Metro Line 1 to ‘Museo’ station, or the buses R4, C57 or C63.
