Hey there,
Do I still need to sterilize my breast pump each time I use it, my son is 14 weeks old. I had heard that for over 3 months it's not nessesary. Is washing and air drying sufficient? (and sterilizing once in a while)
Hey there,
Do I still need to sterilize my breast pump each time I use it, my son is 14 weeks old. I had heard that for over 3 months it's not nessesary. Is washing and air drying sufficient? (and sterilizing once in a while)
i wash with warm soapy water after each use and run them through the dishwasher twicee a week or so.
I agree with PP. Warm, soapy water will take care of it. And if you want you can sterilize the pump parts every couple weeks. That's what I do.
I just started doing the same thing. I pump 2-3 times at work and after sessions 1 and 2 I wash with soapy water and rinse well. I dry with paper towels (not sterile per se). After my last pumping session I wash again with soapy water and nuke for 5 minutes in the microwave with a steam sterilizer so they are ready for the next day.
Sometimes when I am busy and I do not get to pump a 3rd time or if I get to go nurse her instead I do nothing since they were washed with soap after the last pump. If this happenes for several days in a row then I make sure to toss them in the microwave to steam before I leave for the end of the day.
Samantha: born 3 1/2 weeks early on Sept 2006 6lbs 4 oz 18 inches long with situs inversus totalis. Now a strong healthy little girl that wants to be a NICU doctor, loves her little sister and breastfeeds her dolls!

Milk donated with while nursing first LO: 1,200

I rinse well under very hot water after each use, and then wash with soap and steam sterilize about every other day. No problems yet!
i sterilize my pump parts everyday. i have been told that it is not important to do it at all, but for some reason i just feel more confortable doing it. i will admit i am getting tired of boiling everything everyday!
In my BFing class, our instructor said to sterilize the parts 1-2 times per week. I bought an Avent microwave sterilizer that is very convenient -- much faster than boiling water.

Mercedes-Benz B Class
The Mercedes B-Class offers a remarkable amount of interior space. However, it's no fun to drive and seats only five. …
The Renault Espace is comfortable and safe, but its rivals are more spacious, more versatile and cheaper
Most seven-seaters look like pointy minibuses, but the Renault Espace is a stylish and classy looker.
You can fit seven people inside, but it's best to save the rearmost pair of seats for kids. Access to these two pews isn't that good, either, not least because the Espace lacks the sliding doors of some rivals.
There's a wide range of seating permutations, though - the front pair even swivel round to face the rear - and you won't want for practical touches or storage areas. Visibility is excellent, too, and the driving position comfortable.
On the other hand, don't expect much space for luggage when all seven seats are in use, even in the longer Grand Espace. Also, the seats don't fold into the floor, although they're easy to remove.
The way it drives is more impressive, though, with a very supple, comfortable ride and nimble handling. The diesels are mostly refined unless you work them very hard and make more sense than petrols.

A new slate roof at 75
December 4, 2013 —
At a ceremony on November 20, Superintendent Dr. Nancy Hackett handed out heavy pieces of slate of the type used to repair the roof at the Jeffersonville School. Among those honored with their very own bit of history were former superintendent Dr. Ken Hilton and the first superintendent of the Sullivan West Central School District, Mike Johndrow.
The ceremony marked the 75th anniversary of the historic building and also completion of restoration of the slate roof, which was the subject of attention from the school board for several years.
In 2009, the school board thought the 75-year-old roof would have to be replaced entirely at a cost of some $4 million, but further study showed that roof could be fixed more economically, retaining many of the existing slate tiles.
The low bid for the work came in at $1.7 million from the West Babylon-based Milcon Construction Corporation.
Hackett delivered a brief history of the Jeffersonville School District, which merged with the Youngsville School District in 1958, which in turn merged with the Narrowsburg and Delaware Valley districts in 1999 to form Sullivan West.
She said there were several time capsules placed in the building: one dated to the opening of the school in 1938; another dated to the creation of an addition in 1960; and one was created in 1989.
She said the school was creating a time capsule for 2013, which would include, among other things, a flash drive with before and after pictures of the slate roof. She said, "We're hoping that flash drive technology still exists" when the time capsule is opened.

Retreat of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet
Retreat of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet Scientists say that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet
is retreating more slowly than they thought. In fact, it may
have been growing just 8,000 years ago -- long after the end
of the most recent Ice Age.
Listen to this story (requires RealPlayer)
December 27, 2000 -- New evidence suggests that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is retreating more slowly and contributing less to rising global sea levels than scientists once thought. In fact, said researchers at a recent meeting, the sheet was still growing as recently as 8,000 years ago -- thousands of years after the most recent Ice Age.
"Our previous best estimates that the ice sheet was adding 1 millimeter per year to global sea level are almost certainly too high," says Robert Bindschadler, a glaciologist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
Right: Antarctica is divided by the Transantarctic Mountains into East Antarctica, or "Greater Antarctica," and West Antarctica, or "Lesser Antarctica." Most of Antarctica is covered by ice, with an average thickness of nearly a mile -- constituting roughly 90 percent of the Earth's total amount of ice. The Antarctic ice sheet is the largest body of fresh water on our planet, amounting to 70 percent of the total.
This revised assessment is based on a synthesis of new data including past sea-level rise estimates presented at a workshop this fall on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Bindschadler, who organized the fall workshop, discussed the latest research results and changing views of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet's history at the American Geophysical Union's annual meeting in San Francisco on December 16.

But analysis of a 30-by-50-mile rise in the ice sheet near the Ross Ice Shelf called Siple Dome suggests that this feature was not overrun by a massive ice sheet in the past, which is what the reconstruction suggests. A team of glaciologists from the University of Washington led by Charles Raymond used an ice-penetrating radar to study the subsurface layering of Siple Dome.
Another line of evidence that throws the ice sheet's ancient bulk into question is the discovery that the ice sheet was still growing as recently as 8,000 years ago. The reconstruction assumed that the ice sheet reached its maximum growth 20,000 years ago and has only been in retreat since then.
Above: These two figures show former temperatures with major periods of glaciation labeled. The dashed lines are the present global average temperature of about 15° C (59° F). The solid curves show small changes from this average. Note that the temperature drops only about 5° C during a glaciation. This has occurred about every 100,000 years, with smaller wiggles in between. The most recent glaciation, 20,000 years ago, is called the Laurentide, and Earth is still recovering from it.
According to a new reconstruction of historic sea level around the world by W. R. Peltier of the University of Toronto, a major jump in sea level occurred before the West Antarctic Ice Sheet began its current retreat, but there is no sign of a subsequent rise large enough to account for melting of so much West Antarctic ice.
The question of how fast the ice sheet retreated still challenges scientists. Recent work, however, leads Bindschadler to conclude that the ice sheet experienced a rapid retreat phase some 7,000 years ago that was preceded and followed by a slower retreat that continues today. Bindschadler points to the geologic record of dated stages in the retreat of the ice sheet's continental base as evidence that it has shrunk in fits and starts. Such episodic retreats may be controlled more by the varying depth of the underlying surface and water than by the changing climate.
Above: Sea level rise is one of the greatest threats of climate change. In New York, the Battery tide gauge measured an increase in sea level of roughly .25 meters since 1920. (Graph based on data from the Goddard Institute for Space Studies) [more information]
"The portion of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet we have focused on for the past ten years appears to be in a stage of near-zero retreat now," says Bindschadler, "but what it will do in the future is still uncertain."
"If you extend the new evidence and the new line of reasoning into the future, the behavior of the ice sheet is more difficult to predict," he says. "It suggests, however, that if the ice sheet loses its hold on the present shallow bed it is resting on, the final retreat could be very rapid."

In 1905, The Field Museum was in dire need of a permanent home. Its original building, the Palace of Fine Arts from the World's Columbian Exposition, was rapidly deteriorating. Contained within "The 1909 Burnham Plan for Chicago," the plans for the new building were controversial both because of the proposed location and the style of the architecture. Burnham initially planned to place the museum on Congress Street in the center of Grant Park. Opposition arose to having any buildings in the park, and a legal battle that went all the way to the Illinois Supreme Court moved the museum's proposed location. They initially decided to rebuild the museum in Jackson Park, and the steel and marble were delivered to the site in anticipation of construction. The plan was changed again when the South Park Commission reacquired land just south of Grant Park, and the museum was ultimately built at its present location just south of Roosevelt Road. Construction on the new building began on July 26, 1915. In 1918, the plans for the Museum were altered to allow the Museum to act as a hospital during World War I. Though the Board of Trustees reluctantly gave in to the agreement, the government cancelled the contract before any recovering soldiers were ever seen at the Field. For more information on the Museum's brief relationship with the military, click here.
Workers moving several exhibits from the old Field Columbian Museum building to the present Field Museum location.
Construction took almost six years to complete and cost approximately $7,000,000. The foundation alone took one year, and extends down 95 feet in some places. When it was first constructed, the building was made of 350,000 cubic feet of white Georgia marble and covered 20 acres of floor space. On May 2, 1921, the Field Museum was reopened to the public. Since that time, many additions have been made to the Museum's floor plan, most notably the 2005 construction of the Collection's Resource Center which added 186,000 square feet on two under-ground levels. The Museum's exhibition space occupies over 480,000 square feet on the Ground, Main and Upper levels. Stanley Field Hall itself accounts for a half an acre of floor space, with a length of 300 feet and a width of 70 feet. The Hall's floor is comprised of 300 million year old fossilized limestone.

Neoclassical Inspiration: The Erechtheum and other Grecian and Roman Temples
See more images of the Grecian elements of the Field Museum's architecture here.
Looking at The Field Museum is almost as good as looking at some of the most famous temples in Greece and Rome. Based on the original Beaux Arts designs from the World Exposition by Charles B. Atwood, the architectural style is undeniably inspired by the Erechtheum at Athens, the Temple of Minerva Polias at Priene, the Pantheon at Rome and many other notable Grecian and Roman designs. The Erectheum, thought to be the main inspiration for the building, resulted in the caryatid porches and many of the details on the numerous Ionic columns throughout the museum. At a time when critics were praising the new, modern skyscrapers, architects such as Burnham and Anderson showed a deep appreciation for the Beaux Arts style that came across in the majority of their work. While the magnitude of the building is incredible, the fine details that decorate every arch, colonnade, wall and ceiling are just as impressive. For more information on the history, construction and architecture, click here.
The Real Man with the Plan: The common misconception about the actual architect of The Field Museum
Though the famous Daniel Burnham was responsible for the initial planning of The Field Museum and included it in his famous "Plan for Chicago," his associate William Peirce Anderson was the real architect who designed the neoclassical structure that is visited today by over 1.25 million people a year. An accomplished yet modest architect, Anderson was trained in architecture at Harvard and then at the L'ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris before joining Burnham & Graham. Later, after Burnham left the company, Anderson became a named partner in Graham, Anderson, Probst & White, which became the largest architecture firm in the country and was responsible for the design of many of Chicago's greatest landmarks. It is often overlooked that Anderson was responsible for designing The Field Museum, Union Station, Marshall Field & Co., the Continental and Commercial Bank, and the 1910 People's Gas Light and Coke Company.
Henry Hering's Lovely Ladies and Missing Maidens
In 1916, a year after construction had begun on the new building for the Field Museum, Henry Hering was commissioned to complete statues, low level relief panels, and other decorative features for the building, including the memorable lion medallions on the exterior and interior of the building. Hering, a native to New York and prolific sculptor who studied under the famous Augustus Saint-Gaudens, produced eight caryatids, four low level relief panels, and four muses representing the aims of The Field Museum. Upon inspecting Hering's designs before confirming them fit for the museum, Anderson wrote to President Stanley Field: "It seems to me that these models are one [sic] of the finest pieces of decorative sculpture that have been produced in modern times."
But not every design commissioned by the museum would become a reality. Though the reasons are still unclear, eight statues that were meant to depict the four cardinal directions as well as the four elements, were sculpted in clay but never realized in marble. These statues, meant to be placed above the north and south entrances to the building, are now known as the Missing Maidens. For more on Henry Hering and the story of the Maidens, click here.
Hering's caryatids, sculpted female figures serving as pillars, can be seen on the exterior of the building on four separate porches. Some of their faces are slightly damaged by acid rain that began eroding parts of the museum in the early 1980's.
Low Relief Panels
Above each caryatid porch resides a different low relief panel or frieze also designed and created by Hering. Each one depicts a different department of the museum: Anthropology, Botany, Geology, and Zoology.

Geology, Low Relief Panel by Henry Hering, Winged female figure holding a globe with North and South American continents and a torch representing fire.
Zoology, Low Relief Panel by Henry Hering, Winged female figure holding a horned animal skull.
The Muses
Located at each corner of Stanley Field Hall, the four muses depict the purposes for which The Field Museum was founded.

With fewer than 40 days until the new La Crosse Performing Arts Center opens its doors, the theater is still about $800,000 short of meeting its fundraising goal.
It was just about a year and a half ago when 11-year-old Katie Sauer of La Crosse performed in her first musical "The Wizard of Oz" at the La Crosse Community Theatre and fell in love with the stage.
But as much as she loves performing, she also loves taking a seat as an audience member, and when the new theater opens you can bet, she'll have a special seat to call her own.
As construction workers are busy drilling all 450 seats into place at the performing arts center, Sauer can hardly wait for the theater to be finished so she can take a seat and watch a show.
"I like just watching the shows and having them tell a story on stage without really noticing it," said Sauer.
But she doesn't want just any seat.
"It's pretty good," Sauer said sitting in one of the theater's chairs. "There's boxes in the way."
She wants one with her own name on it.
"I liked the idea of having my own seat and so I just really wanted to buy one," said Sauer.
So when the theater launched the "Name a Chair" campaign to help raise money for construction, Sauer set out to raise $1,000 all by herself to purchase her very own seat on the theater's main floor.
"I water a lot of plants for my grandmother when she's gone, and then I babysit, too, with my friends, and I get Christmas money and birthday money and stuff like that," said Sauer.
Katie is the youngest donor a part of the "name a chair" campaign.
Executive director David Kilpatrick said her investment adds up to much more than cushions held together by a metal and wooden frame.
"They're making a lifelong commitment to the arts," said Kilpatrick. "They're making a lifelong commitment to La Crosse. They want to be a part of something that's going to be here for all of their entire lives, and they want to get in on the ground floor."
Katie won't find out which seat is officially hers for awhile, but just knowing she's left her mark on a place she loves make all of the hard work worth it.
"You know you're helping support the community theater and whenever you want to come and see a show, you could probably come and sit in your seat to watch it," said Sauer.
Sauer will pay off her chair in four yearly installments. She just made her first $250 payment this past weekend.
She's not the only one in her family buying a chair in the new theater. In total her family will have bought six chairs on the theater's main floor.
There are still about 300 seats left for sale. The price ranges anywhere from $250 to $1,000 dollars.
If you are interested in buying your own seat, contact David Kilpatrick at the La Crosse Community Theater at 608-784-9292.

I took a bunch of parenting classes and now I'm hearing other things so its confusing. I've been reading some things about breastfeeding and I'm pretty sure that's what I want to do. I have some questions though. everything I'm reading can't possibly be true. I don't have long to decide.
1. Why didn't any of the classes I took talk about nursing? They talked about sterilizing bottles and how much formula to use. They told us what kind of formula is best and gave us samples and coupons for it. we got diaper bags full of stuff from nestle. There's all this proof that breast milk is better, so why don't people talk about it?
2. Is it true that the post partum nurses might try to talk me into giving formula even if I tell them I don't want to use it? Why would they do that?
3. How likely is it that I won't be able to make enough milk? I've found a lot of stuff online that talks about people not making enough milk.
4. Does a mothers age have any bearing on ability to breast feed? I haven't found much about young moms nursing.
5. Do you have to follow a special diet if you're nursing?
6. Is it harder to make a breastfed baby sleep through the night? Or are the classes I took wrong about how to do that too?
7. What sort of supplies do you have to have to breastfeed?
8. Are some babies really allergic to their moms milk?
9. Does breastfeeding supply baby with enough iron and vitamin D? I've read that you have to suppliment with extra vitamins.
10. Does not using a feeding schedule cause matabolisim problems in the baby? I read that a couple of places but I don't understand how that would work.
11. Can breastfeeding lead to bone loss in the mother? My foster family claims it does. "the baby would just suck everything right out of you"

I have an 18month old son, he weaned himself at 15 months. So my milk has been dried up for quite a while now. But today in the shower I noticed some discharge that looked a lot like colostrum. ?? Has anyone else had this happen?
My sister just had a baby, and my best freind is also nursing an 8 month old- I am wondering if my milk is coming back because of that, or if maybe I have a yeast infection... I am totaly lost for words on this one!
I nursed all three of my children, and this never happened. I dried up within three days of completely weaning all of them... so for my milk to be back is confusing!
thanks so much!

A foggy day
Serving as a fundraiser for the radio station, the powers that be (scads of volunteers) had prepared a fantastic show replete with great food (thanks to Jill Padua), an amazing array of goodies raffled off and music, music, music. Hostess Maureen Neville and her cadre of tireless elves created an incredible evening of entertainment and good cheer, and my fog (momentarily) lifted as I worked the room, photographing the lineup of (IMHO) gifted musicians parading their many talents across the stage. Kathy Geary, Elizabeth Rose, Brewster Smith, Jeff Lackey and an adorable children's chorus were at the top of their game, along with Doug Rogers & the Hoy Polloy, Janet Burgan, The Human Lard Dog and Little Sparrow.
Feeling both naughty and nice, I got chewed out for (duh) talking too much while catching up with some friends seldom seen, and crossing my fingers, I was hoping to go home with a raffle prize or two. I did win some wine, but paid it forward, hoping that Santa was watching and might reward me as I stood under the mistletoe, hoping for the best. I got my wish (you know who you are) so maybe the New Year holds promise after all? Doing my best to capture the spirit of the season, I snapped away and have put together a little album of the festivities. To view and share with your friends both near and far, "like" us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/riverreporter) and enjoy. Meanwhile, I'll get back to my list. In fact, I had better check it twice, since I'm a bit foggy on the details.

Looking back at some more pictures from 2009
I owe a few fans pictures so I was looking at my old camera and found some pictures that I wanted to share
First of all, here are my nieces Kirsten and Krystal. I took them to the Kids corral where kids and adults too might get autographs if the kids ask nicely. It was a hot day in the middle of the summer.
I love you girls!
I was driving to work when I spotted this bus so I chased it down until I could take a picture. I have another picture that I wa closer but I like this one where you can see a little of a mountain in the background. It startled me that I got too close.. i
From the Viva Los Dodgers festival. "ESTA ES MI CIUDAD" means "THIS IS MY TOWN", the theme for 2009.
This is Dee. Check out her Vin Scully tatoo! It was done by Trublue, a tatoo parlor owned by a die hard Dodger fan.

Hello Emma, Andrei here. Thank you for checking out my blog Taking Me Out to the Ballgame @ http://drei.mlblogs.com/. I'm glad you enjoyed the pics. I also have a Dodger blog as well BLOGGIN' IN L.A. @ http://dodgerdrei.mlblogs.com/. Come check it out, I hope you enjoy my blog. I really enjoy your blog as well. I too am on a mission to go to as many MLB and Minor League Parks as well, especially the Dodger farm system. If all goes well, I may go to Albuquerque this year. Well, thanks for checking out my blog and I hope to see you on my Dodger blog as well, my fellow Dodger fan. GO DODGERS !!!!
Ohhhhhhhhhhh man. Looking at those pics makes me YEARN for baseball to be back. It's cold and nasty and cloudy here in Chicago (haven't seen the sun in a month)…. so I'm very jealous of that SoCal charm that is the weather. Ugh.
thanks! I'l check out your other blog. I've been wanting to go to Albuquerque. I have never been there. Go Dodgers!
It has been raining here a lot and the biggest storm will be Wednesday but I know what you mean, the weather here is nice! I have a friend on the train that all year long he wears shorts. it does not get cold enough for him to wear long pants.
When I met Dee last year, I just had to take a picture of her tatoo.
Your nieces are adorable, Emma! And your friend's Vin Scully tattoo is great. I would be too chicken to get one.
haha Jane! I coudl not do it ethier. I am so afraid of needles.
wow! that is an awesome tat! im not a big fan of body art but that is pretty cool. i definitely respect it.awesome pics. it is so much fun looking back at great memories from the season. it wont be too much longer till we are making mew ones!
You said you were headed to work, but then saw the bus and chased it down. I hope you weren't late..lol
Yeah Matt, the tatoo looks awesome. Trublue does great job. the kid running the shop is a great kid and a huge Dodger fan. He has season tickets in the field level as well as the Pavilion. I can't wait for new memories for 2010!.
At least I am not an ambulance chaser! LOL. I was just a little late🙂 but all for a good cause!
Chasing the bus to get a picture? That's something I would do. A woman after my own heart! u go!!
Reading your blog I KNOW that is something you would also do! LOL
Nice photographs, what a fun day at Dodger Stadium it must be. That venue will be my first ever stops should I plan to go in California. Great entry.
Matthew T.
A Vin Scully tattoo – that is TRUE dedication. Or maybe just craziness😉. I love Harry Kalas (rest his soul) but I'm pretty sure I'd never have him tattooed on my arm. Nonetheless, the tattooer did an amazing job!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Caravan is coming up next week! Yippy!!
If you do come, let me know. I loved to give you a tour of Dodger Stadium!
Dee has a picture with Vin. Yeah, that is true dedication. I could not get one either. I probably cry if I was to get a tiny one. I am such a chicken when it comes to needles. Matt Kemp got his tatoo in the same place.
Hey, Emma. Cool photos, esp. of your nieces! The Vin Scully tattoo is an interesting concept, but I think I'd stick with the T-Shirt! (Not crazy about tattoos, but that's just me).
And yeah, I can't wait for baseball to start, either, even though many of us Red Sox fans think it will be a long year for our team! Hmmm!…
I wonder if you would mind sending me an e-mail? I have a question I want to ask you about your "pro blog" ITD. I'd appreciate it! Thanks!
Me too! I'll stick with t-shirts!
I think your Red Sox will do just fine!
I just sent you an email!
You always have thee best photos seriously! It's crazy😀
Does she really have a tattoo of Vin Scully on her arm?! O.O!! Oh my!! That is devotion. You know i was thinking of getting an Angel logo tattooed somewhere on my body but not anymore! Too scary of a thought🙂
She definitely has that tatoo! She was by the Vin Scully Press Box that day so I asked her if I could take a picture. She told recently that that day she went inside Vin Scully Press Box with Landon the guy that did the tatoo and they spent some time with Vin. I adore Vin but I would not a tatoo! a shirt yes even a jersey if they had them!
The picture on her shirt is from one of the Dodger Magazines last year.

Just curious on how long you sent breastmilk with your child to daycare?
I breastfeed my 9 month old daughter and will do so for quite a while yet and am just curious how long to send the milk with her to daycare.
What did/do you do?
Just curious on how long you sent breastmilk with your child to daycare?
I breastfeed my 9 month old daughter and will do so for quite a while yet and am just curious how long to send the milk with her to daycare.
What did/do you do?
I stopped sending milk when ds was about 10-10.5 mos old. I was going out of my mind pumping at work, and trying to find time to pump at home just to have milk to send. And somewhere around 10 mos, ds just started refusing a bottle. I had the babysitter try giving him milk in sippy cups or even holding a regular cup. He just didn't want anything to do with it.
I just decided that as long as he was eating well (solids), and she offered him a sip of water now and then so he didn't get dehydrated, I'd let it go. It killed me to know that 90% of the milk that I worked so hard to supply him with was being dumped! Believe me, he made up for it at home though. The minute we walked through the door I had to plant myself on the couch or he would have a fit!.
So you really have to take many factors into consideration when making this decision. How long is she there every day? Is she eating solids well? Will she take a sip of water from cups?
Ultimately, you have to do what is best for both of you, and what you're comfortable with.
Hope this helps.

I stopped sending milk to daycare at about 13 months. We tried other milks but allergies intervened, and now DS drinks water at daycare. Like the previous poster I nurse DS just about as soon as I walk in the door.
I pump weaned and stopped sending milk to the sitter's house at about 11 months. Ds still nursed morning and night, but had pretty much given up day nursing on the weekends, except for the occasional pre-nap session. My supply during the day was about down to nothing, and I was so, so ready to quit pumping. Our ped had also given his blessing to starting a little moo moo milk (which ds tolerated with no problem), so I would just send along some moo moo milk to the sitter.
I've only pumped occasionally for about the past month, so DD gets mostly other fluids when I'm not home (since about 13 months old). She refused to take a bottle well before that and didn't drink very much out of a sippy, so we were just building up extra milk that we don't really have a use for (and I can't donate because of my meds-also I think most milk banks only take milk expressed before a baby is 6 months old).
Loving mama to JP (DS, 1/03 ~ nursed 6 mos), EL (DD1, 9/05 ~ nursed 4 yrs), EJ (DD2, 3/08 ~ nursed 3 yrs 9 mos), and
JM (DD3, 6/12 ~ currently nursing), all born naturally
Devoted wife to SAHD P, my hero
A few of my favorite things that I've discovered on the forum: co-sleeping, baby-wearing, tandem nursing, baby-led solids, cloth diapering, APing, selective vaccination...the list goes on
This is very interesting to me, because my little guy is now 9 months, and I thought I'd have to pump while at work until he was weaned. So, how much breast milk do your children get total do you think? I'm curious, because I've been pumping 3 times a day, and I'm about done with it.
Do your kids get cereal, and if so, do you use milk in it?
At daycare my DS eats rice cereal mixed with fruit. It's hard to estimate how much breastmilk he gets with me, sorry.
Is your LO finishing all the bottles that you send? If she is refusing some you might be able to cut back on pumping to 2x per day.
She will usually eat what I send with her to daycare. I figure I will continue to send the same amount until she starts to eat less ebm.
Thank you all for the replies..it is so wonderful having a community I can come to for these questions!
My DD will be 1 on Sunday. I still send 4 bottles to daycare each day. She still drinks 3 of those. The fourth is "just in case." While I'm sooo ready to be done with pumping, I want to make sure she is eating enough well, balanced food before I stop send ebm.
Mom to Alyssa (11/26/05)
I sent pumped milk to daycare until DD was 15 months old. I have been pump weaned for one month now and I LOVE IT! I pumped 3 times a day for the first 12 months. I cut out one pump session every 2-3 weeks or so, starting with the 5 am session, then the lunchtime session, then finally the late afternoon session. It got to the point where I was only pumping about 2-3 ounces (alarming bc I use to pump 12-16 ounces per day!) from the afternoon session, so it just wasn't worth it anymore.
DD and I still continue to nurse in the morning and evening, and in the middle of the night if needed.

I'm not to sure about Kidd to the Mavs. The Mavs have Rodrigue Beaubois and could go after Ramon Sessions or Raymond Felton. I'm pretty sure some of you know how much I want J-Kidd to be a Knick. It would kind of being like flipping off the Nets. I pissed off with the Nets off-season moves.
Kidd aint coming. Grunwald failed. They learned NOTHING from last year. Lin better comeout and be every bit of linsanity that he was, and If he gets hurt were up ****s creek without a paddle. Lets not mention that hes never been a starter through a whole NBA season( or half for that matter). Thats to much for a kid whos still developing. I just hope they have some kind of plan here. Im not talking felton either.
We need Kidd, but it looks like he's using the NY media and market as a bartering lever again.
What an enormous dick pimple he is.
I'd be fine with Raymond Felton, to a degree, but if he comes back (if he even wants to come back, that is) and has a season like he did in Protland, I'd be fuming.
He won't earn a lot in his next contract because, well, he just didn't earn it in his time away from NY.
He can play though, and his dedication has always been praised. He might get a shot at the starting 1 with Lin at the 2 until Shump gets back. Denver played him and Lawson together effectively.
I cant believe our guys in the FO wasted all that time and energy on Nash and it doesnt look like he ever really was going to come here. Shouldnt of wasted the time. Should of just went at kidd early. Maybe would of made him feel wanted more then just the guy we got bc we couldnt land Nash. Grunwald has been disappointing thus far. But it is early.
There's not a team in this league that doesn't want Lin's bird rights.
Lin will be back.
Hopefully he brings back some of that epic Linsanity.
Houston are not a threat. The Raptors, now that they have Landry, are a threat, IMO. I think they'll pay big ~ $40M-$44M.
Did not know Dragon wanted that much. Not sure he'll get that, but I'm fine with 8Mil for him. It's likely we roll the dice that Lin is close to what he did during Linsanity.
Please god no felton.. I'd rather have douglas at point than him. I HATE Felton.. His chucking of shots drove me absolutely insane. I got zero enjoyment out of watching him play.
Normally I don't ever say "oh well x player just benefited from the coaches system" but honestly with him it was the truth. There was like a 3 month period where he put up decent numbers in the D'Antoni system but he has never come close to that level of play since then or throughout his entire career. Keep him away. Get someone else I don't care who it is.
It's not Grunwald's fault. I don't think he could've done any more than he did to lure these guys here. At the end of the day, Kidd won his first ring with the Mavericks, so he'll obviously have a lot of loyalty towards them.
Since we're not getting Jason Kidd either, we need to look at other FA guards on the market.
How about Aaron Brooks? He can run an offense (kind of) and he can also score, would be a great Jason Terry-type for our team.
We could look into Ramon Sessions, but man that guy cannot score worth a damn.
How about Jameer Nelson, who is now a free agent?
And then, of course, there's Raymond Felton, but we all know about the deficiencies in his game already.
If Kirk Hinrich has not been signed yet, Grunwald needs to be on the phone with his agent RIGHT NOW.
To waste all this time to only come up with James White shows our mindset is to make noise and not make championship teams.

The Owls' Agenda for Avoiding Nuclear War
Journal Article, Washington Quarterly
Summer 1986
Authors: Joseph S. Nye, Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor, Albert Carnesale, Member of the Board, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Graham Allison, Director, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School
The debate over national security and arms control has focused primarily on weapons: more or fewer weapons, different kinds of weapons. During the 1984 presidential campaign, for example, President Ronald Reagan defended his administration's military buildup, the biggest in peacetime. Former Vice President Walter Mondale advocated a freeze on deploying new weapons. Numbers and types of arms have preoccupied governments and specialists on both the right and the left. This definition of the problem is far too narrow. Suppose the United States completed the current strategic buildup, or that super-power arsenals were cut in half. In both cases the United States and the Soviet Union would retain thousands of strategic nuclear warheads. Each would still be able to attack or retaliate and destroy the other society. For the foreseeable future, then, we must focus on the fundamental question: What practical steps can the United States take to avoid a major nuclear war with the Soviet Union? This book begins with a simple--some will say simplistic--proposition: the primary objective of the United States in either building up or building down nuclear arms should be to protect and defend U.S. values and institutions by avoiding nuclear war with the Soviet Union. The first question to be asked about a proposed increase or reduction in nuclear arms is how it would affect the probability of such a nuclear war. An even more important responsibility is to look beyond numbers and types of nuclear armaments and ask what else affects the probability of a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union. Recent discussion has paid too little attention to this critical question.

The first incident concerned a burglary at the Mr. Lucky game room at 310 E. Milam St. The business was once Ernesto's Barbecue.
Sometime during the early morning hours of April 10, burglars apparently pried their way through the back door of the business and went inside.
Detective Roland Rodriguez said the intruders then set about prying open the coin boxes of all 35 of the establishment's slot machines.
"They took monitors from a couple of machines," Rodriguez said. "But they didn't get any money."
The detective said the burglars also took a digital video recorder that was part of the business' security system.
Rodriguez said that that was apparently so they would not be identified by any security video taken while they were in the establishment.
The victim in the second crime told officers he had spoken to several prospective buyers of his homemade trailer before he noticed someone had helped himself to it without offering to pay for it.
The victim, Freddie DeRusse, said the 7-by-10-foot trailer had a stainless steel bottom, was made of square tubing and was worth $2,000.
DeRusse said he kept the trailer chained to a pole behind his radiator shop at 108 W. Kennedy St.
He had last seen the trailer on April 6 and noticed it was missing on a week later.
Anyone who might have information that could lead to an arrest in either of those incidents may be eligible for a cash reward of as much as $1,000 from Coastal Bend Crime Stoppers.
The organization may be contacted by calling 362-0206 or by calling toll-free to (877) 362-0206.
Internet users may reach the organization by email at coastalbendcrimestoppers.com.
Witnesses never have to reveal their identities to claim a reward.

3 unnamed moons
|Native Species:
|Bajoran system
Bajor sector
Alpha Quadrant
|Bajoran Provisional Government
Independent / United Federation of Planets Non-Member Ally
Formerly under dictatorship by Cardassian Union
The inhabited M-class world Bajor (or Bajora) was the eleventh planet of the Bajoran system in the Alpha Quadrant. It had five moons, two of which were named Derna and Jeraddo, and was the homeworld of the Bajorans, a warp capable humanoid species. After decades of Cardassian rule, the planet gained its independence and became affiliated with the United Federation of Planets in 2369.
History Edit
- See also: Bajoran history
Early historyEdit
Bajor was the homeworld of the Bajorans, one of the oldest civilizations in the Alpha Quadrant which began to flourish about half a million years ago and undertook its first interstellar flights around the 16th century. (TNG: "Ensign Ro"; DS9: "Explorers")
Cardassian occupation and recoveryEdit
From about 2319 to 2369, Bajor was occupied by the Cardassian Union. During this time, the Cardassians not only decimated the Bajoran population and destroyed large parts of its infrastructure, but also poisoned several areas of the planet in order to compromise the food supply after their withdrawal. Affected regions included the Dahkur and Rakantha Provinces as well as the Northwest peninsula. Following the occupation, the Provisional Government took steps to revitalize the planet's agricultural sector, such as using special grain processing centers and irrigating the Trilar Peninsula. In 2371, the Bajoran Agricultural Ministry developed soil reclamators that could detoxify the soil, but their number was limited, causing quarrels about their usage. (DS9: "Dramatis Personae", "Shakaar", "Sanctuary")
The Federation also assisted in reclaiming the planet's full natural potential, e.g. in 2369, when the USS Enterprise-D assisted in the reconstruction of the Bajoran aqueduct system. (TNG: "Birthright, Part I") Later measures included conducting an agrobiology expedition to the Janitza Mountains in 2371 during which it was discovered that the ecosystem was much more diverse than the orbital scans had indicated. (DS9: "The House of Quark", "Fascination") Signs of progress in healing Bajor's wounds included the opening of a new nature reserve in Hedrikspool Province in 2370 and the fruitful Katterpod season of 2373. (DS9: "Shadowplay", "Rapture")
Political structure Edit
During the occupation, the Cardassians installed a puppet regime called the Bajoran Occupational Government. Following their withdrawal from Bajor in 2369, a Provisional Government was established which consisted of Ministers who were organized in the Bajoran Council, the Board of Ministers, the Chamber of Ministers and the Council of Ministers. (DS9: "Emissary", "The Collaborator", "Dramatis Personae", "The Alternate", "The Homecoming", and more) Some Bajoran organizations like the Kohn-Ma or the Alliance for Global Unity also criticised or even openly opposed the Provisional Government. (DS9: "Past Prologue", "In the Hands of the Prophets", "The Homecoming", "The Circle", "The Siege")
The planet was also further divided into different Provinces. Additionally, nation-like factions, e.g., the Paqu and the Navot, continued to exist on Bajor after the occupation and maintained clearly defined borders between each other. (DS9: "The Storyteller", "Shakaar", "What You Leave Behind" et al.)
Although Bajor maintained a secular government, religious leadership personified by the Kai as the head of the Vedek Assembly was also an important aspect of social cohesion on Bajor and, thus, also held great political influence. (DS9: "Emissary", "In the Hands of the Prophets", "Shakaar" et al.)

Bodies of water Edit
Due to a slight green tint in Bajor's atmosphere, the seas on Bajor appear green in color when seen from orbit. (DS9: "Past Tense, Part I")
Provinces Edit
The continents are subdivided into numerous Provinces:
- Dahkur Province
- Eastern Province
- Hedrikspool Province
- Hill Province
- Kendra Province
- Lonar Province
- Musilla Province
- Rakantha Province
- Tozhat Province

In the mirror universe, Bajor was occupied by the Terran Empire before being liberated by the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. Following the end of the occupation, Bajor petitioned the Alliance for membership, was accepted, and ultimately became an influential member world. The space station Terok Nor orbited Bajor.
In 2370, the Intendant of Bajor was Kira Nerys. (DS9: "Crossover")

Appendices Edit
Background Information Edit
- According to the script for "Emissary", the pronunciation for Bajor was "BAY-jor". [1]
- In the pre-production stages of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine the writers worked on the idea of a starbase on the surface of Bajor, before deciding to set the series aboard a space station.
- Robert Hewitt Wolfe, and later Bradley Thompson, made and continually updated a map of Bajor which featured the places mentioned in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Bajor may have a 26 hour day, according to various mentions throughout the series and at the startrek.com database for places [2]. This was never fully confirmed.
- According to Star Trek: Star Charts (pages 34, 42-43, 46), Bajor was the seventh planet in the Bajoran system. The planet's government was named the "Third Republic of Bajor", and the planetary capitals of this planet were based in the cities of Dahkur and Sahving. 3.8 billion Bajorans lived on Bajor in 2378. The Bajorans have been warp capable since 2328, and their first interstellar flight was in 1571. Bajor was admitted into the Federation in 2374, but the process was not ratified. Bajor was listed as having five moons, and, in the system map, the five moons are depicted in orbit about the planet. The Bajor system was a single star system. Primary was a Class G star with a magnitude of +5, which was the same brightness as Sol.

I am going to have a child in about 5 months so I realize some would say it's too soon to start thinking about this, but I'm a researcher...
I am confused about the basics of pumping. There seem to be so many choices I am a bit overwhelmed. What kind of pump do I need? What kind of bottle? How do I store milk? How long can it be stored? What do I store it in? How many bottles do I need? How many storage containers do I need? Glass or portable?
I've tried to find a website that will just explain the very basics of breast pumping to me, and what I need to buy, but I can't find one. Can anyone link me to a page that will clear this whole mess up for me?


text: My LO is one week old. She is gainging weight and seems very content, so I'm sure she is getting enough milk, but nursing is very painful because she is not latching on correctly. Her little neck is so strong, so it seems like the only position that works is cross cradle so I can hold her head still. Otherwise she turns it and thrashes all over the place. She also will not keep her hands out of the way. It seems like every time I finally get her to open wide enough she shoves her hand into her mouth. It's really hard to hold both hands when one of my hands is holding her neck. When I finally do get her to open wide enough it seems like she always slides down onto the nipple. I'm pretty large breasted so I'm afraid the shape of my breast is just too akward for her, and I don't want to have to sandwich my breast constantly. What do I do?

A Milwaukee man is facing multiple charges after an investigation alleged he was running a fraudulent funeral home in order to collect money from Wisconsin Medicaid.
According to a release from the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Douglas L. Patton has been charged with counts of medicaid fraud, theft by fraud, theft, forgery as a party to the crime, operating as a funeral director without a funeral director in charge.
According to the release, Patton submitted a fraudulent application to collect funding from Wisconsin Funeral and Cemetery Aids Program (WFCAP). WFCAP normally helps Medicaid recipients with funeral and burial expenses.
The release said Patton forged the signature of next-of-kin whom he claimed signed the application on behalf of the deceased that agreed to his services as a funeral director.
He applied and was paid $1,500 for the false claim.
According to the release, the criminal complaint alleges Patton falsely claimed to have performed funeral services and sold burial items that were deemed as fraudulent claims after an investigation. Patton received over $2,000 for that claim.

/ Wiregrass RC&D Hosts a Farmer Workshop/Meeting
Loading Tree...
Attendees view plasticulture demonstration with micro-irrigation.
By Fay Garner, Public Affairs Specialist, CMO, NRCS, Auburn, AL
The Wiregrass Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Council in Ozark, Alabama, went out of their way to help area farmers, especially small and limited resource farmers, learn about resources and programs available to help them succeed at farming.
The Council secured a national RC&D grant for the "Tri-State Farmers Outreach Workshop" that was held in February at Landmark Park in Dothan. The 200 plus attendees received updates on government programs and attended breakout sessions of their choice on plasticulture with micro-irrigation and small ruminant health.
Speakers from the Tri-state area (Georgia, Florida, and Alabama) universities and state, federal, and local agencies presented information about programs and services offered by their respective organizations. Demonstrations on various practices were installed on the surrounding grounds of the park. Vendors and agencies set up displays inside to give information about their wares and programs. Outside, a large farm equipment vendor displayed tractors, implements, and other farming machinery so the attendees could inspect the items and talk directly with a representative.
Willie E. Durr, Coordinator of Houston County Alabama Cooperative Extension System (ACES), opened the meeting and greeted those present and William Holman, Executive Director of Landmark Park, welcomed everyone to the beautiful Activity Barn conference facilities and grounds of the Park.
James Currington, Executive Director of the Wiregrass RC&D, spoke to the audience about the purpose for the workshop and thanked everyone for attending.
Ann Bowers, Outreach Liaison from the Florida Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) moderated a session called Governmental Program Update that featured representatives from Tuskegee University, and federal and state agencies.
NRCS representatives included District Conservationists Steve Yelverton (AL) and Jason Hayford (FL), along with Jack Lewis, Georgia Assistant State Conservationist, who talked about NRCS programs available to the group. Farm Service Agency personnel Aaron Wells (Houston County) and John Dorrill III (Coffee County) presented details about their programs. The attendants were then invited to ask questions of the agency representatives in a panel discussion.
Miles Robinson, Director of the Alabama Small Farm and Rural Economic Development Center at Tuskegee University, gave an update on the Center's small farm issues, community development, markets for new enterprises, and mini-grant opportunities.
Scott Hughes, Chief of the Office of External Affairs for the Alabama Department of Environmental Management, and Lisa Harris, facilitator of the Alabama Clean Water Partnership, offered the audience information about their programs and progress in increasing the quality and quantity of the natural resources in Alabama.
After a complimentary lunch of barbeque with all the fixings, the attendees were offered the choice of participating in concurrent break-out sessions.
At the indoor session on Small Ruminant Health, Dr. Maria Lenira Leite-Browning, an Alabama A&M University Animal Specialist, spoke to the group about parasites and control. Rick Hudson, Regional ACES Agent, gave a presentation on Intensive Grazing Systems and Rotational Grazing. Dr. Richard Browning Jr., an Animal Scientist at Tennessee State University, spoke about genetic Management of small ruminants.
There were plenty of people interested in the outside breakout session. The day was overcast, but that did not damper the enthusiasm of the group who loaded onto a tractor-driven, hay bale-lined trailer to go about a quarter mile behind the Activity Barn to view field demonstrations on cross-fencing, solar energy powered water sources, soil testing and fertility, and plasticulture/micro-irrigation.
ACES specialists William Birdsong, Neil Kelley, and Brandon Dillard awed the crowd with a demonstration of laying down micro-irrigation tape under plastic using a large tractor with a special attachment. The group witnessed first-hand the steps needed to set up the conservation practice and learned that this method of growing crops creates better yields on less land, provides higher quality products, and uses half the water of traditional farming methods.
The group observed how the specialized attachment to the tractor made the raised seed bed then installed drip tape, laid down plastic, and secured the edges of the plastic with dirt all at one time. The demonstration showed how as little as two people can lay about an acre of plastic and hook up the drip tape to an existing water source all in a day. The group found out that the drip-tape water system targets water to only the seed bed, thus watering the plants more efficiently.
The attendees were told that the key to growing crops under plastic is having a good water source and quality seed. They also learned that you can often replant for three years before replacing the plastic and the crop harvest can be up to three times more than what you normally would get from a conventionally farmed acre.
Fertilizers and chemicals can also be applied through the drip-tape water lines through the irrigation system.
The demonstration was videoed by a local news person along with some participant interviews. The day's events were aired in an extended segment on the local evening news.
The Tri-State Farmers Outreach Workshop was deemed a success by the Wiregrass RC&D staff, presenters, sponsors, and the attendees. Some farmers said they were aware of certain agencies but were glad to learn of the specific programs available, how they could benefit, and the steps needed to apply.

Attendees learned about programs and services available to them.

NRCS personnel from GA, FL, and AL spoke about the programs of the agency.

NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports on the news conference between Secretary of State John Kerry and Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
Jason Reed / AP
Secretary of State John Kerry, accompanied by U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan James Cunningham, left, meets with Afghan President Hamid Karzai at the Presidential Palace in Kabul, Monday.
KABUL -- Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who has infuriated U.S. officials with anti-American rhetoric, on Monday denied suggesting that the U.S. was colluding with the Taliban to convince Afghans that foreign forces were needed in the country beyond 2014.
In a joint news briefing with Secretary of State John Kerry, Karzai said the media misinterpreted comments he made during a visit by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on March 10.
Karzai said the point he was trying to make was that by continuing to bomb and kill innocent Afghans, the Taliban is giving a reason for the U.S. to stay.
It was the media, Karzai said, that misinterpreted that to mean collusion, a word he said he did not use.
"If (Taliban) want the international community to leave this country, their forces, they must stop hurting Afghans or hurting the international community." Karzai said. "To the United States, I'm in full support of saying that they no longer fight the Taliban, that they will focus on fighting al Qaeda and the other terrorist networks."
Kerry arrived in Afghanistan's capital Monday on an unannounced visit that aims to repair fractured ties with President Hamid Karzai.
For his part, Kerry said the United States and Afghan leaders share the same goals – bringing the Taliban into peace talks.
"I'm confident that the president absolutely does not believe the United States has any interest except to see the Taliban come to the table to make peace," Kerry said.
The meeting came on the same day the U.S. turned over the detention facility at the U.S.-run Bagram military base north of Kabul to Afghan control, which has been a priority for Karzai. U.S. officials say they've been assured the most dangerous prisoners will not be released.
It is Kerry's sixth visit to Afghanistan since President Barack Obama took office, but his first as secretary of state.
State Department officials told reporters traveling with Kerry that he is optimistic the U.S. and Afghanistan can overcome recent differences, including the awkward moment earlier this month when Karzai accused the U.S. and the Taliban of colluding to convince Afghans that foreign forces were needed beyond 2014.
The officials said Kerry was not in Kabul to lecture or chide Karzai, adding that he acknowledged the relationship was "not always going to be easy."
The secretary of state arrived in Kabul this morning just a day after another unannounced visit to Baghdad. Kerry plans to meet with Afghanistan's president Hamid Karzai to discuss political and security issues. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
Kerry is optimistic the two countries can move in from Karzai's anti-U.S. rhetoric, which the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan warned was putting the lives of Western troops in danger.
Anja Niedringhaus / AP
An Afghan prisoner leaves with his belongings from the Parwan Detention Facility outside Kabul after the U.S. military gave control to Afghan authorities, Monday.
On Sunday, Kerry visited Iraq before leaving for dinner in the Jordanian capital, Amman, with Pakistan's powerful army chief of staff, Ashfaq Kayani.
The secretary of state is not visiting Pakistan during this trip as the country is in the midst of a political transition.
NBC News' Catherine Chomiak and Alastair Jamieson contributed to this report.

I don't get it because I still nurse at least 3 times a day, usually 4 or 5, I am so mad it's back! Does this mean I have to start back on birth control too? The last time I breastfed while on B.C. I bled profusely, and irregularly! I am very afraid of having that happen again. If I talk to my doctor he'll just say to wean. He's been encouraging me to wean for some time now, and we're just not ready yet. It is still such a huge part of everyday life for us. Any suggestions?

E. P. Sanders's retrieval of Judaism
The Jews of Jesus' time, the preacher intoned, were slavishly devoted to the practices of their ancestors. They studied scripture but did not apply it. Their temple was "rotten to the core." Ancient Judaism was a religion whose rituals were "impressive, inspiring and empty." It was a faith preoccupied with the superficial and lacking in substance.

My daughter is 3 weeks old. I've been using a breastshield ever since the beginning due to very flat nipples and she's only had about 2 bottles since birth. My first question is, is there a chance I will ever get her off of the shield all together?
Secondly, I have a 2 year old and when I am in public I find it very hard to nurse for several reasons...
1. I am still having to run after my toddler
2. I cannot find a way to be discreet enough. I have received many comments and looks and it is almost as if people think breastfeeding is gross. How do you handle breastfeeding in public? Is there a sling you recommend or a position? Also,with me having to put on the shield it draws even more attention.
I hope to receive an answer soon. I'm almost afraid to go out anymore because of it.
