The 2011 UCI World Cup series is going into its 3rd round in Offenburg (Germany) this weekend. BMC is sending a large international contingent to fight for world cup points in various categories.
Swiss-based BMC Mountainbike Racing Team's roster of four is lead by German Champion Moritz Milatz who placed 6th at last weekend's Dalby Forest world cup. Patrik Gallati remains on his side aiming at the defence of his top-15 placing at the Pietermaritzburg world cup in April. Julien Tamarcarz and Balz Weber are giving their debuts on the world cup scene in 2011.
The United States national team is heavily Swiss influenced. A grand total of 5 riders dressed in stars and stripes will be speeding through the mud on a BMC bike: Stephen Ettinger will be aiming for another top-10 placing in the men's U23 category. Jack Hinkens and Kerry Werner round up the BMC MTB Development Team USA roster.
On the women's side, Chloe Forsman and Erika Zaveta are shooting for experience and glory in the U23 category, racing alongside the elite women on Sunday. The two Americans will be joined by Swiss U23 Champion Michelle Hediger of Team Fischer-BMC and her British teammate Jane Nüssli.
Offenburg is located at the foot of the Black Forest. The area is popular among cyclists on and off the road for its fantastic training routes. Offenburg has been known for giving the world's best mountainbikers great racing conditions for years. The Offenburg world cup has established itself as a firm foundation of the UCI World Cup series.
While the race course had forced competitors to cover large parts of the race by foot, trail work has made it technically easier and more resistant to typical German weather patterns such as rain. While the course has become faster over the years, the competition has become more fierce. It will make up for a weekend of interesting high-speed dirt action in the beautiful German Black Forest.

Has anyone seen a 2011 Pantera to see if it has the 2010 style grip? In all the advertising pictures it seems that the 2011 Pantera didn't get the new grip design. Why is that?
Has anyone seen a 2011 Pantera to see if it has the 2010 style grip? In all the advertising pictures it seems that the 2011 Pantera didn't get the new grip design. Why is that?
Firecat 400
The Martin website shows it with the old style grip. I guess Martin didn't want to change the Pantera for 2011.
2011 Martin Firecat 400/NAP Apache Dropaway/Truglo Xtreme Sight/Custom 8" Stabilizer/Victory V6 Arrows
2007 Martin Jaguar /Trophy Taker Dropaway/Extreme Sight/Custom 21" Stabilizer/Victory V6 Arrows
Bow String Depot, Custom String Builders email us @ firstname.lastname@example.com
Here is what I find odd or interesting depending on how you look at it.
The 2011 riser must have been redesigned for the new rod style TRG but they didn't update the grip? It sure looks like the 2010 CCS is wider and wouldn't fit with the TRG rod. I have never seen one in person but that is what it looks like to me. I think it makes the 2011 Pantera look dated already.
Firecat 400
The new riser was updated to give a thinner grip, not neccessarily for the new TRG/SOS. The TRG/SOS would have worked perfectly well on the older risers. I think the reason they left the grip on the Pantera the way it was is due to the fact it was their best selling bow for 2010. I personally like the old style grip better. My hands have big flat palms, and the old grip just fit them better. More stable for me. Then new thinner riser seems to kind of "float around" on my hand. I've actually been trying to think of a way to thicken the riser on my Firecat.
When I was at the local bow shop I saw a few 2011 and 2010 bows and they didn't look compatible to me. The 2011 riser has C shaped channel cut in the side of the riser that is round. The 2010 CCS that I saw looked to be flat and wider. The dealer went so far as to say that Martin was looking at making an adaptor kit to allow the TRG to be used on the older style CCS bows.
Firecat 400
MLN, I meant that if they had chosen to make the cut-out in the riser, the TRG/SOS would have had room to work on the older risers. I didn't mean to say they were interchangeable. I certainly wouldn't have an older bow outfitted with the TRG/SOS due to the machining neccessary. Now with an adapter kit, maybe. Likewise, the new riser would work fine with the CCS if they had included the riser cut out's for it. I do think they are onto something with the new TRG/SOS though. It takes a little getting used to seeing your string and cables sitting so close to your arrow at full draw, but the set-up gives good clearance when fired. One thing people need to know though, the TRG does get rubbed by the cables, and it transfers some plastic to the cables themselves. It makes it look like the cables are wearing, but they aren't. They just need cleaned, and re-lubed. I like Bohning's new "string conditioner" for that part of the cables, and good old string wax for the rest of the cables and string. The new Bohning stuff is very slick, and tends to not gather the plastic residue as bad as a wax does.

Sorry, misunderstanding on my part.
I thought it was cool that Martin was considering making an adaptor kit.

The Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department responded to a 6:20 p.m. call about a dead body in a ravine near the 12-mile marker of the canyon road west of Patterson, according to a release from Sgt. Anthony Bejaran of the sheriff's department.
When the first deputy arrived where the body had been reported, he climbed about 300 feet down into the ravine before finding the body, according to Bejaran.
A of Tuesday afternoon, there were no witnesses or suspects nor many details regarding how the body ended up where it was found, Bejaran said.
Detectives have said the body was that of an adult male, but the man has not been identified. The body was removed from the ravine with help from the sheriff's department's Special Vehicle Operations Unit and the West Stanislaus County Fire Protection District.
An autopsy, performed Monday, Oct. 8, should provide a cause of death and may give investigators information about when the man died, but pathology test results were not available as of Wednesday morning, Oct. 10, Bejaran said. He said Tuesday he hoped more details would be available within the next couple of days, but he said he was not sure when whether or not that would be the case.
As of Wednesday morning, the sheriff's department was only looking into the matter as a death — not as a homicide or even a suspicious death, Bejaran said. However, he indicated that was subject to change, depending upon the conclusions reached by the pathologist.
Sheriff's deputies walked more than a mile along Del Puerto Canyon Road and along the canyon floor below on Tuesday, Oct. 9, using metal detectives as they scoured the area for any physical evidence they could find related to the case, Bejaran said.
The only suspicious items they found were a couple of black plastic bags about 20 feet down from the side of the road that contained marijuana remnants, such as stems, and some harvested marijuana, he said. The bags do not appear to be related to the investigation regarding the dead man, Bejaran said.
The discovery of the body Sunday comes after homicide detectives recovered the bodies of two men on Aug. 4 who had been bound and shot near the 10-mile marker. The coroner's division has since identified those men as San Jose resident Esteban Carlos Martinez, 39, and 53-year-old Redwood City resident Pedro Garcia-Valencia. The sheriff's department held off on releasing Garcia-Valencia's identity for some time because it took awhile to get in touch with his next of kin in Mexico, Bejaran said.
As of Tuesday, there was no evidence connecting the latest death investigation and the double homicide investigation, he said.
Susan Conyers, a Del Puerto Canyon resident, said this week that many canyon residents have become unsettled by the recent findings of bodies in the area.
"We're a small community," she said. "It's not normal to have bodies dumped on the side of the road. We need closure, just as the family needs closure."
Several residents also have noted that there are illegal marijuana grows in Del Puerto Canyon, pondering whether they may be run by cartels.
Bejaran said the sheriff's department has responded twice within the past year to marijuana grows in the canyon. The sheriff's department tries to send patrol deputies into the canyon during the evening hours as often as possible, but they spend more time patrolling the areas around Patterson and Grayson, where they receive more calls for service, he said.
"I can understand the nervousness of residents," Bejaran said. "It's rural and dark, and is accessible from both Stanislaus and Santa Clara counties."
Anyone who has information about this past weekend's case can call Detective Jon McQueary at 525-7099. Anyone with information about the double homicide in August can call Detective Cory Brown at 567-4485.
Callers can also leave an anonymous tip by calling Crime Stoppers at 521-4636. Tipsters can also email tips at www.modestopolice.com/CrimeStoppers, or text them to 274637 by typing "Tip704" plus the message and be eligible for a cash reward.

The BMC Racing Team will send a 10-man lineup to one of the oldest races in Belgium – Friday's Kampioenschap van Vlaanderen.
Kristoff Seventh In 2010
The 196.8-kilometer race that was first run in 1908 features 16 laps of a 12.3 km course and is one of the few that permits 10 riders. "It's a typical Belgian race – flat with some cobblestones," BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Fabio Baldato said. "We'll be looking to Alexander Kristoff for sure. But if there's wind and rain, it can completely change the complexion of the race. In that case, (Marcus) Burghardt and Michael Schär are strong in those conditions, too." Kristoff, seventh here a year ago, will look to continue his recent success that includes a runner-up placing Sunday at GP de Fourmies. "I am hoping for a good result again," Kristoff said. "I will try to get the right position and start my sprint around 200 meters. At Fourmies, I went too soon and had to use too much energy at the end."
BMC Racing Team Kampioenschap van Vlaanderen Roster (Sept. 16):
Chad Beyer (USA), Marcus Burghardt (GER), Chris Butler (USA), Alexander Kristoff (NOR), John Murphy (USA), Taylor Phinney (USA), Tim Roe (AUS), Michael Schär (SUI), Danilo Wyss (SUI), Simon Zahner (SUI).

The camera will be primarily for photography but I will need the video facilty for school concerts ect. Questions? Will my lenses work with the 600D? I'm considering a 18-200 particularly for video work and binning the kit lenses, what do you think? Will teleconverters work with zoom lenses? Or should I look at perhaps a prime or two and use my current lenses. I've got about a £1000 to spend.

Customer Raves & Reviews
High Quality
Classic New York Tri-fold Invitations We are very pleased with the wedding invitations that we ordered. The design is just as we wanted it and the customization was easy. The workmanship is excellent!
Great product!
Classic New York Half-fold Invitations Great product! Was satisfied with the personalization and outstanding customer service. The classic New York printed beautifully on the luxe pearl paper.
Great Quality Invite
Classic New York Square Invitations Invite was great quality and layout just as you see on line. Very pleased!
Looks Great on Pearlized Paper!
Classic New York Tri-fold Invitations The card quality and printing looked great on the pearlized paper as opposed to the regular. The pearlized paper gave the invitation a pop! The personalizing needs to be approved and checked by you (so ensure no typos!). It did come exactly how it looked! I ordered a single one which was a cool way to check how my invitation would look before the big order! The shipping date is accurate and it does take 5-6 days to print before shipping, so ensure enough time when ordering your invites. I like the modern look and was able to fit all the information between the inside and back of the invite!
Gorgeous Invitations
Classic New York Pocket Invitations My fiance and I had Magnetstreet recommended to us by his cousin who was married last year. We ordered our Save The Dates and were so happy with the service that we ordered our invitations as well! My only complaint was that the numbers of our items were slightly off-- when all was said and mailed, we were left with about 7 extra invitations, ZERO envelopes, and about 20 extra reply cards-- I think there might have been a mixup in the inventory when they compiled our order. I would have complained to the company but anyone who has been a bride-to-be with a full time job knows that there is little time for customer service battles, especially when you're at your deadline for sending those invites.. That, combined with the groom's mother having a couple extra ivory colored envelopes that fit our invites lying around, we were able to send our last few invites despite the envelope shortage. Despite that little envelope snafu, I still highly back the company. The online design tools are spectacular such that I felt confident ordering my invites/reply cards, knowing exactly what they would look like before they even came. Both our Save The Date Magnets and our Invitations got rave reviews, and we will surely be returning to order our Thank You cards after our special day.

Hey Guys (and Gals),
About a month ago I purchased a Martin Bengal after being out of archery for almost 12 years......man, does it ever shoot great. My last outing had the shafts touching in group after group......and I can't shoot that well. I'm so sold on these Martins that I ordered a new Pantera yesterday.....along with a three week wait from the factory. My question is....does anybody have any experience with the new Acu-Trak Single Cam? Martin says that Cam lean are now a thing of the past......is it? Anyway, I'm really jazzed about getting this great new bow.....I'll let all of you know how it shoots.....after some tuning, or course.
Take care all.....and keep your arrows dry!

Family takes girl injured in Spencer wreck off life support
SPENCER A young girl injured in a Friday night collision that claimed the life of five others has been taken off life support, officials say.
Taliah Williams, 8, died at Brenners Childrens Hospital at 6:38 p.m. on Saturday, making her the sixth fatality, and third child involved in this crash.
Spencer Police said in a short statement released Sunday night.
Williams was one of nine people inside a GMC Envoy that struck a tree and caught fire on South Rowan Avenue, near 11th Street.
The cause of the crash remains unclear.
The small SUV was driven by Angela Monique Dunlap, 28 of South Yadkin Avenue, and included her daughter, DaJa Cathcart, 10, Sean Javan Jacobs, 25, and Karizma Nichole Sexton, 4, both of N. Jackson St., Salisbury, and Vincent Eugene McNeal of 915 N. Jackson St., Salisbury.
Davion Williams and Javion Williams, both 6, remain at Brenners Childrens Hospital in Winston-Salem.
The other survivor, Charles Patrick, 10, of 917 N. Jackson St., Salisbury, was treated for minor injuries.
The Spencer Police Department would like to give their condolences to the family of those that have died, the statement said.

BRP Lower Triple Clamp 98-11 KX 80/85/100 (TCL-5628-L)
Price: $179.95
Product Details
The BRP lower triple clamp is a stronger, more accurately machined part than the OEM unit that is comparable in weight. BRP lower triple clamps feature a 2 pinch bolt design with increased clamping surface on the forks which in turn will help prevent fork twist in the event of a hard landing or crash. Machined from billet aluminum and finished in our signature black anodize, BRP triple clamps will give your machine that factory look.
This is fairly easy bolt on assembly which requires the steering stem to be pressed into the lower triple clamp and should be done by a qualified mechanic, but the installation requires basic hand tools and can be performed by the novice mechanic.
Send us your stock lower triple clamp with stem installed and we can press it out and back into the new lower at a nominal fee.SPECIAL NOTES:
Depending on the model there may be additional hardware required such as; headlight & odo brackets or mounts that are an additional charge. The lower triple clamp does not come with steering stem but in most cases is available from BRP. If you add the steering stem to your order we can do the installation for you. PLEASE SPECIFY IN THE CUSTOMER NOTES SECTION DURING THE CHECK-OUT PROCESS We also offer additional offsets for certain models.

Truman Posted October 9, 2012 By Sidney Milkis Progressivism, Conservatism and the Revival of Battle for the Soul of America in 2012 President Barack Obama delivers remarks in Osawatomie, Kansas, White House Photo, Pete Souza, 12/6/11. PD. This post is adapted from remarks delivered at a special GAGE Colloquium on "The 2012 Presidential Election in Historical Context." While American democracy is often prosaic, from time to time it gets caught up in an ongoing battle between progressivism and conservatism. Elections, such as 1912, 1936, 1964 and 1980, ask voters to choose between profoundly different visions of the nature's future, raising such fundamental questions about the nature of rights and the meaning of the Constitution. This election year seems to promise, or portend, another surrogate constitutional convention. President Barack Obama and the Democrats and Mitt Romney and the Republicans have invoked and drawn inspiration from the election of 1912, the origins of the contest between Progressivism and Conservatism that has reverberated through our own political time. Last December, President Obama took up the mantle of Progressivism in an address delivered in Osawatomie, Kansas – the same site where in 1910 Theodore Roosevelt delivered the important "New Nationalism" speech that launched his final election battle, as the standard bearer of the Progressive Party, which he famously dubbed the Bull Moose campaign. Although TR did not win the election, the Bull Moose Campaign had the best showing of any third party before or since, garnering 27.4% of the electoral vote, and spearheaded a three-decade progressive advance against the "gilded age" Republican Party– and its "stand pat" defense of industrial capitalism – culminating in Franklin Delano Roosevelt's triumph of 1936. The Progressive Party introduced the idea of economic rights, including national health care, and promised to advance the rights of African-Americans, immigrants, and, especially women. With his December 2011 speech, Obama sought to ensure that he first term would not be judged on his record alone, but also would make clear the historic differences that divided Democrats and Republicans. A "ruthless pragmatist" during the first three years of his presidency, he now echoed TR's Bull Moose Campaign in seeking to rediscover the message of hope and change of his 2008 campaign – and to set the tone for his re-election.

The widely followed personal-technology columnist Walt Mossberg wrote Wednesday night in The Wall Street Journal that he liked the new virtual keyboard in the Z10, one of the two BB 10 models unveiled at the launch, as well as the collection of all messages in the Hub. In fact, he called that keyboard "the best and fastest out-of-the-box virtual keyboard I've used."
But, he noted, the 70,000 apps for the new BlackBerry -- which is now also the name of the company formerly known as Research In Motion -- is a fraction of those available for the iPhone or for Android devices.
'Radical Reinvention'
Mossberg also pointed to the lack of cloud-based storage, such as Apple's iCloud or Google Drive. Overall, Mossberg said, the Z10, the new Q10 model and BB10 "represent a radical reinvention" of the product line, offering "decent" hardware, a "logical" user interface and a general ease of use. This launch, he said, "has a chance of getting RIM back into the game" if it can attract more apps.
However, BlackBerry may be on the way to solving any apps hurdle. The 70,000 apps does not match iOS or Android's library, but it is far more than any consumer or business user can digest quickly. More important, the company has stressed the ease with which developers can convert their Android apps for the BB10 platform, so the stream of apps may soon start flowing.
We asked Al Hilwa, program director for Application Development Software Research at IDC, about apps for BB10. He described the batch of 70,000 as "a pretty good number," and said that amount at launch "was somewhat unexpected." He noted that developers will spend their time creating apps for platforms with sufficient numbers of devices, and, right now, "there's a battle for the third platform" that is largely between BB10 and Windows Phone.
'Fresh, Useful Ideas'
Hilwa added that, while "most of developers' energy" right now is directed at iOS and Android, the company formerly known as RIM "seems to be rejuvenated."
David Pogue at The New York Times apologized on Wednesday for ever having said that the company was doomed, now that the new BB10 devices were out. He described the Z10 as "lovely, fast and efficient, bristling with fresh, useful ideas." (continued...)

You will be encouraged to increase your activity level steadily once you are home after surgery. Walking is great exercise! Walking will help your general recovery by strengthening your muscles, keeping your blood circulating to prevent blood clots, and helping your lungs remain clear. If you are fit and did regular exercise before surgery, you may resume exercising when you feel comfortable and your doctor gives the approval. However, strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and abdominal exercises such as sit-ups should be avoided for six weeks after the surgery.
You will be sent home on a soft diet, which means you can eat almost everything except raw fruits and vegetables. You should continue this diet until your post-surgical check-up. If the diet is making you constipated, call your doctor's office for advice.

text: So i went to my first 3d shoot yesterday and as far as i could tell, I had the only Martin on the field. I shot a 318/444 and was satisfied since it was my first time being out there. Now here comes the crazy part. Since ive been shooting my Martin, ive thought as it as a "loud" bow. For a while when shooting it sounds like a screen door slamming with the spring pulling the door shut. While out shooting I had a guy from colorado springs who is a product tester listen to as I shot for excess noise actually complimented me on how quiet my bow is. The only things i have is a 10 inch stab(unknown brand) limbsaver limb rubbers, and some string leeches. I guess I'm not as worries as i should be since i was shooting against a brand new bowtech something or another(guy just set it up that night prior to the shoot). So Im going to stick with my Martin till a) it breaks completely and is not fixable, or b) i find a reason to replace it at all.

We sat on a daybed in the cramped housekeeping unit behind an old motel. "My husband gets out of prison in September, and we want to put our family back together." The woman speaking was the biological mother of our youngest daughter, 13-year-old Rae Lynn. Rae Lynn sat next to her mother with her head down. I could see tears rolling off her cheeks onto her knees.
From my earliest days, I had dreamed of having a perfect family. When we discovered that we were not to have the requisite flesh-of-our-flesh offspring, we watched the Lord piece together a patchwork family. It was at times like these that the traditional "woven of whole cloth" families looked mighty enticing. Especially now, when it seemed we were in for another gut-wrenching upheaval.
Rae Lynn had deeply mourned the loss of her abandoning mother and dreamed of a moment like this for nearly three years. Her imagination had conjured up a hundred ways for her mother to ask forgiveness and beg to take her back. I didn't have to ask if she wanted to live with her mother and her stepfather. No matter how scary the home situation or how much Rae Lynn loved us, she would fight to get home to her mother. Because we have legal guardianship of Rae Lynn, the courts would have the final say.
Of one thing we were sure: We couldn't keep ripping our family apart and stitching it back together again. I resolved to get through this, if we must, and move on. I looked at my husband, Keith, and saw that this was as hard for him as it was for me. Thinking about our other two children, I said to Keith, "Once the courts make the decision, it must be final. We can't continue to put the family through this kind of pain. If Rae Lynn leaves, we cannot take her back again."
Driving home after the visit, I looked in the visor mirror and saw this precious daughter struggling with dual loyalties. The Lord spoke inaudibly, but I heard Him as clearly as if His words were coming from the radio: "And how many times have I taken you back, Wendy? No matter how much pain it costs Me, My door is always open to you, is it not? Can you do less for this little one?"
It reminded me once again what a challenge it is to have a patchwork family. Not patchwork in the sense of the carefully constructed quilting patterns like Jacob's Ladder, Road to Oklahoma and Wedding Ring. We're more like the crazy quilt that was popular in Victorian days. Made of odd-shaped patches of worn velvets, silks, corduroys and wools, the pieces are randomly stitched together, then richly embroidered.
The most intriguing feature of a crazy quilt is the irregular patchwork. Open-door families are like that. Whether the family is blended by marriage, built by adoption or foster parenting, or even created in a group-home setting, the unexpected shapes result in a beautiful pattern. In Matthew 25:34-40 we are called to reach out to those the Lord referred to as "the least of these." It may disrupt the seamless composition of a traditional family, and it may leave us open for heartache, but the blessings can far outweigh the pain.
Running a hand across the variety of textures in the patchwork — nubby corduroy, well-worn wool, slippery silk, plush velvet — exposes the richness of their combination. Because patchwork families don't share genetic traits, sometimes the diversity is striking. All families have differences in temperament and personality, but they're more noticeable in brothers and sisters who weren't raised together from babyhood or who don't share a common childhood. In our family, we not only enjoy these different textures, but our colors add interest as well, from fair-haired and blue-eyed to brown-skinned with black eyes.
The more intricate a pattern, the more it says about the quilt maker. Just as a much-worn patch from an heirloom quilt inspires a memory ("This blue wool was from the dress Grandma wore when she met Grandpa"), our patchwork family is a living reminder of God's love. I look at my oldest daughter and thank God for the miracle that brought her into our life. Seeing our 6-foot-tall, 16-year-old son peering into the refrigerator, I'm reminded of the baby picture — clipped from a magazine and taped to a long-ago refrigerator as a commitment to pray for another child to adopt. And when I look at Rae Lynn, I remember that God sometimes unexpectedly gives us the most wonderful gifts.
The real magic of a crazy quilt happens when the quilt maker embroiders the pieces. Over the top of every seam is an intricate design of multi-colored embroidery. I've seen quilts that never repeat the same embroidery stitch, going from delicate feather stitches to blanket stitches to lazy daisy chains. What a miracle to learn that when God stitches a family together, the thread that connects is stronger than shared genetics. It's the thread of love.
A similar crazy quilt construction is evident throughout history as God keeps His door open to His children. From the fall of Adam and Eve through the blending of foreign marriages into the line of David, from the covenant with the Jews to the New Covenant, it's a fascinating patchwork. On those days when I yearn for an uncomplicated family woven of whole cloth, I picture the complexity and beauty of that crazy biblical quilt. Opening the door of our home — and the heart of our family — is kingdom work.
Rae Lynn is still with us. Her mother has not yet acted on her intentions. If Rae Lynn leaves, it will feel as if a hole has been torn in the fabric of our family, but we'll keep the relationship open. As the Lord reminded me that day in the car, we need to be ready to piece her back into this patchwork family if the time comes. The emerging pattern may be uncertain, but we continue to trust the Quilt Maker.
Every 60 seconds of every day, we help another family work through a crisis involving their children. Helping families thrive in partnership with you.
Parenting in stepfamilies is a two, three, or four-person (sometimes more!) dance. Parent-stepparent harmony is the crux of successful parenting within your home. The two most critical relationships in any stepfamily home are the marriage and the stepparent-stepchildren relationships.
The marriage must be strong to endure the many pressures that stepfamily couples face and provide the backbone to stepfamily stability. Almost as important is the stepparent-stepchildren relationship. The stepparent's role in the family is critical because it dramatically affects the level of stress in children. Less stress in children equals more harmony with stepparents; that in turn leads to more harmony in the marriage.
Many people assume incorrectly that stepparenting is the sole responsibility of the stepparent. This assumption pits husband and wife against one another when the stepparent flounders or upsets the children. On the contrary, stepparenting is a two-person task.
Biological parents and stepparents must work out roles that complement one another and play to each other's strengths. Just as in two-biological parent homes, parents and stepparents must be unified in goals and work together as a team. Stepparents who are struggling need biological parents who will step up to the plate.
Stepparents and biological parents do not function in a vacuum, isolated from one another. In fact, what is needed most is a working alliance between the parent and stepparent that helps to clarify the stepparent's role. Smart stepparenting means planning and parenting together.
No one ever dreams of growing up and becoming a stepparent. It's just not part of our "and they lived happily ever after" fantasy. Nor does society teach us an effective stepparent role. We make it up as we go.
"I feel more like a maid than a mother."
"I feel more like a maid than a mother."
But not all children feel negatively toward stepparents.
When I was four years old my father died, and two years later my mother met my stepdad. There were six of us kids to raise, plus he had three from his previous marriage. When they got married he helped her raise us and treated us like his very own kids. I never knew my father; Ted is the only real father I ever knew. Though we have had our ups and downs I would never trade him for any other father in the world. Stepdaughter

Please remember when the "going gets tough" that all the hard work and discomfort of stepparenting can pay off. It probably won't live up to the fantasy you have created, but it can be pretty good. Remember, there are both rewards and challenges; only determination will bring rewards.
General stepfamily integration and bonding with a stepchild hardly ever happens as quickly as adults want it to. It just doesn't happen on their timetable. Stepfamily researcher James Bray discovered that stepfamilies don't begin to think or act like a family until the end of the second or third year.1 Furthermore, Patricia Papernow, author of the book Becoming a Stepfamily, discovered that it takes the average stepfamily seven years to integrate sufficiently to experience intimacy and authenticity in step relationships.2
Fast families can accomplish this in four years, if the children are young and the adults are intentional about bringing their family together. However, slow families, according to Papernow, can take nine or more years. In my experience, very few adults come into their stepfamily believing it will take this long. They want a quick, painless blending process. In fact, if they had known the journey would take so long, they might not have signed on in the first place.
So why does it take so long to combine a stepfamily and bond with a stepchild? Here are a few reasons:
Bewildered by the scenario, I asked for more information. He had become this girl's second stepfather after her mother divorced a second husband. The girl's biological father was uninvolved in her life, leaving a deep wound in her heart. Her first stepfather was aloof, distant and critical.
I suggested to the gentleman that, because of them, he had two strikes against him when he remarried her mother. But the real clincher came when I asked how long he had attempted to win his stepdaughter's heart. Three months. You see, he simply didn't take into consideration all that this girl had been through and how long it takes for step relationships to develop. His intentions were good. His actions were on target. He just wasn't patient enough.
The attitudes and expectations you carry either make bonding with a stepchild easier or more difficult. In addition, there are many factors that, in truth, have very little to do with you, and everything to do with the child and his or her other relationships and past.
Finding a map for your stepfamily journey means understanding the factors that make or break your place in the home. Keep reading to continue pulling the pieces together.
The cardinal rule for stepparent bonding is to let the children set the pace for their relationship with you.
Effective stepparents know that building a connection with stepchildren takes time, yet they don't emphasize "deepening the bond" to the point that they miss the relationship they currently have. Learn to find the nuggets of good in the relationship you have now. Be patient and keep seeking to grow with your stepchildren, but don't add too much pressure.
Parents and stepparents tend to assume that children want a close, warm relationship with the stepparent. Biological parents want their children to be happy with their choice of mate, and stepparents assume they need to be someone special to the children. Kids say otherwise.
When asked how the stepparent role should be performed, parents and stepparents generally envision the role in similar ways. In one study, close to half of them said the ideal stepparent role should be one of "parent" as opposed to "stepparent" or "friend." In contrast, 40 percent of stepchildren identified "friend" as the ideal role. Far fewer children thought a "parent" role was ideal.3 "Parents" give hugs and expect obedience to their rules; "friends" offer support and encourage positive values in a child's life.
Stepparents need to learn to relax into their role and not expect too much of themselves. To expect too much is to set themselves up for disappointment and frustration. Biological parents also need to relax and let stepparents and stepchildren carve out their relationship.
James Bray discovered that most stepchildren in the early years of stepfamily life view the stepparent like a coach or camp counselor.4 Such people have limited authority with children and provide instruction, but they are not "parents." However, just because your stepchildren don't give you unsolicited hugs does not mean you don't have a decent relationship. Having stepchildren who talk to you only when they want something is not an indication that you are a poor stepparent. It represents where you are today. Relax and trust that the relationship will grow over time.
Stepparenting changes as relationships grow.
"Early in remarriage, the most successful stepparent-stepchild relationships are those where the stepparent focuses first on the development of a warm, friendly interaction style with the stepchild. Once a foundation of mutual respect and affection is established, stepparents who then attempt to assume a disciplinarian role are less likely to meet with resentment from the stepchild."1
Closeness and the authority to discipline develop over time, and neither should be rushed. For example, stepparents are often eager to build a relationship and commonly seek one-on-one activities with stepchildren. But for a time, stepchildren are often uncomfortable being alone with a stepparent.
The research evidence suggests that the best stepparent initially works through and with the children's parent.
The ability to lead and influence children comes the old-fashioned way — you earn it. Trust, respect and honor grow out of a relational history, and there is no quick way to establish that. Stepparents must be dedicated to building a relationship over time.
Effective stepparents gradually move into disciplinary roles. Power comes with relationship and grows over time. Let's look at three positive relationship styles that give way to parental authority.
1. The baby-sitter role. Baby-sitters have power to manage children only if parents give them power. When our favorite baby-sitter, Amy, comes to watch our three boys, I remind them in front of her that she is in charge while we're away. "She knows the rules and if you disobey her, you are disobeying me. She has my permission to enforce the consequences. Plus, she'll tell me about it later and you'll have to deal with me, too." After saying this before a number of date nights, my kids now finish the sentence before me. "We know, we know. Amy's in charge."
2. The "uncle/aunt" role. After a moderate relationship has developed, stepparents can move into the "uncle or aunt" stepparenting role. If my sister comes to my house and Nan and I are away for a few hours, she carries some authority with my children simply because she's their aunt. She is not a full-fledged parent but carries power through her extended family kinship. Stepparents can gradually gain a basic level of respect that allows children to accept them as extended family members by marriage. Stepparents can become more authoritative: clearly communicating limits and encouraging family discussion of rules. Furthermore, as personal bonds deepen, shows of affection and appreciation can become more common. One-on-one activities can become more frequent and personal connections increase.
3. The "parent" or stepparent role. Eventually, some stepparents will gain "parental" status with some stepchildren. Younger children tend to grant stepparents parental status much more quickly than adolescents. It is quite common to be considered a baby-sitter by an older child, an aunt by a middle child, and a parent by the youngest child. These roles can be confusing so be sure you and your spouse are a solid parenting team. Discuss circumstances often and work together to make changes over time.
Stress in a stepfamily generally divides people along biological lines. When push comes to shove, the allegiance (or loyalty) between parents and children often wins out over the marriage unless the couple can form a unified position of leadership. If they cannot govern the family as a team, the household is headed for anger, jealousy, and unacceptance.
Unity within the couple's relationship bridges the emotional gap between the stepparent and stepchildren and positions both adults to lead the family. If a biological parent is not willing to build such a bridge with the stepparent, the stepchildren will receive an unhealthy amount of power in the home. All they have to do is cry "unfair" and their parent protects them from the "mean, nasty" stepparent. This almost always results in marital tension, conflict, resentment, and isolation.
Now let me balance this truth by noting that biological parents must take a "both/and" stance with their children and new spouse. They must invest time and energy in both. Early in the remarriage, for example, it is especially important to stay connected with your children. But eventually the marriage must be made a priority, even in front of the children.
No one in stepfamilies experiences more loss than children. This truth is difficult for most adults to recognize simply because they are consumed with their own losses. It's human nature to notice our own wounds more than someone else's. Yet children, because of a lack of maturity and coping skills, need more help processing their grief than adults.
The death of a parent or a parental divorce means children lose control of their lives, lose contact with parents, grandparents and siblings, and lose continuity to living arrangements and routines.2 Life in a single-parent family and stepfamily is full of transition and change.
Here are just a few changes that bring loss to children:
This list doesn't begin to capture the kinds of changes (losses) forced upon children when families end and begin. And some changes have greater impact than others.
For example, couples need to realize that marriage for them is a gain, but for their children it is another loss. This important truth — that remarriage often disrupts the parent-child bond and produces insecurity in children — is not intended to make you feel guilty. If you are a parent, you need to understand the impact loss has on your children. If you are a stepparent, you need to empathize with — not resent — your stepchildren's grief.
I believe that one of the hardest things children in stepfamilies must learn is to share a parent with a stepparent or stepsiblings. They've lost so much already, it's understandable why they would resist "losing" another parent. To protect their relationships, children may push away a stepparent. This brings about competition and insecurity, especially if a stepparent takes the threat personally.
I wish I could count the number of stepparents who have described their stepchildren as "jealous" and "trying to be manipulative." I respond with, "I know that's what it looks like on the outside, but what they are on the inside is hurt. These children have experienced a great deal of loss in the past and that makes them scared of more hurt. One of the things they fear most is losing their parent to you. Don't get hooked into competing for time. You're the adult. Back away every once in a while and give them exclusive time with their parent so they don't fear you quite so much. Someday, when they allow you in, you can share time with their parent more equitably."
Respect and be aware of how previous losses creates fear in children.
We all like to know what is expected of us, especially regarding our family roles. Stepparents often discover that the ambiguous nature of their role leads to great frustration. Being a smart stepparent starts by knowing your place in the family.
Jennifer, now a 28-year-old mother, reflects on how awkward it was at 13 to embrace her mother's new marriage and the family's move to a small Arkansas community. "It took me years to appreciate what my stepfather did for me," Jennifer says. "He provided for us and loved me — even when I wouldn't give him any credit. I just couldn't let myself love him for a while. But eventually I relaxed and let him in, and now we have an awesome relationship. What a blessing he has been in my life."
Finding your fit may not be easy, but take time and be patient. As your role becomes clearer, you can confidently begin building a closer relationship with your new children.
First, recognize that you are an added parent figure in the child's life; you are not a replacement parent. A child who feels that his biological parent is being displaced will resist your influence. Honor and encourage the biological connection.
Second, realize that a child's openness to you determines the pace at which you are allowed into his heart. While acting in loving ways facilitates bonding, the child's level of openness largely depends on factors that are out of your control: the age of the child, his relationship with the other parent, the amount of time spent in the stepparent's home. So flexibility is the key to finding the right stepparenting fit. Listen to the child's openness cues and respond in kind. For example, if the child calls you "Mommy" or "Daddy," by all means allow it; if that label isn't comfortable for the child, don't demand he use it.
As the emotional connection with a child develops over time, stepparents move through a progression of roles.
An adult can enjoy relational authority only after a child has developed an emotional attachment. Stepparents must earn this level of influence over time; it cannot be demanded. Until then, accept that you are limited to positional authority like that of a teacher, coach or baby sitter.
A baby sitter has influence only if it is given by parents who tell the children that the sitter is in charge while they are away. The same is initially true for stepparents. A biological father, for example, can empower a stepmother by saying, "She knows the rules, and if you disobey her, you are disobeying me. She has my permission to enforce the consequences." This borrowed authority allows stepparents behavioral management of children while they initially focus their energy on relationship building.
When a moderate relationship has developed, stepparents can relate to the child like an uncle or aunt. When my sister Cherilyn visits, she carries some authority with my children because she's their aunt. She is not a full-fledged parent in their hearts, but she carries a unique influence because she's family.
When stepparents achieve this level of connection, they can become more authoritative, deepen emotional bonds and share greater affection with the child.
Eventually, stepparents may gain significant parental authority with some stepchildren. Younger children tend to grant stepparents this status more quickly than adolescents.
Stepparents who have limited visitation or have adult stepchildren often find that being a friend or mentor works best. Their role is much like a father-in-law who seeks to encourage and support without overstepping boundaries.
Like the gradual acceleration of a train, stepparents slowly gain momentum, moving from a minor role in a child's life to progressively more influential ones. The challenge is to accept your current level of relationship while optimistically moving forward.
