text: My preemie has been in the NICU for 60 days and is coming home soon. I have been pumping every three hours and she has been drinking a portion of it since the beginning. She is consuming approximately 500 ml per day now but I am pumping approximately 1500 ml per day. My freezer is very full. I know that fresh milk has the antibodies that frozen milk does not have so I am giving her all fresh milk at this point. My husband will be staying home with her for the latter half of our combined one year parental leave so we are hoping that he can give her the frozen milk at that time. Has anyone else done this? Most info says that milk is "good" for up to six months in a deep freeze so we are not positive if we are doing the right thing. Thanks!!

What's Next for Egypt?
The Egyptian military's forceful removal of the country's first democratically elected president — and the ensuing violence — is the latest reminder of the dangerous chaos that continues to engulf the Middle East.
What happens next will have critical implications for both Israel and the United States.
Under the brief tenure of Mohamed Morsi, a leading figure in the Muslim Brotherhood, relations between Israel and Egypt deteriorated. The Brotherhood advocates Israel's destruction and supports Hamas, the terrorist group that governs in Gaza. Though Morsi upheld the 1979 peace treaty with Israel during his single year in office, its status was tenuous as he mostly shunned the Jewish state while warming up to other Islamist governments.
As JTA reports in our cover story, Israel is eyeing events to the south with cautious optimism. Jerusalem has enjoyed close cooperation with the Egyptian army in recent decades, with both parties interested in combating terrorist groups and maintaining stability. "To get rid of the Muslim Brotherhood is great for Egypt and for the region," said Zvi Mazel, Israel's ambassador to Egypt in the late 1990s.
For its part, the Obama administration, which cozied up to Morsi more than it should have, needs to do all that it can to exert its influence during this transitional period. It must work with Congress to find a way to continue to provide financial assistance to Egypt, even though U.S. law currently prohibits such aid in the event of a military coup.
The $1.55 billion in aid, most of it defense assistance conditioned on Egypt's observance of the peace treaty with Israel, is an important tool for U.S. leverage during this critical period.
The United States also must work to nurture the development of truly democratic parties and institutions that won't just pretend to democracy, as the Muslim Brotherhood did.
Egypt's first experiment in democracy failed miserably, as have, unfortunately, most of the recent experiments with democracy in the region. Indeed, balloting has, more often than not, led to the ascent of Islamist, often radical forces that then proceed to act in decidedly undemocratic ways. The first all-too-glaring example was the triumph of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Democracy requires more than free elections. It requires the development of civil society institutions that protect the rule of law and civil rights.
The military takeover in Egypt was a blow to democracy but so was the rise of the extremist Muslim Brotherhood. Let's hope that the military-led interim government's plan for new elections leads to a better result — for both Egypt and the region.

This year, legislators in both Missouri and Kansas will spend a lot of time dealing with education. Funding, transfer policies and classroom curriculum are all on the agenda, but there is another serious issue which educators say is no less important: chronic mobility. Each school year, thousands of metro students change schools multiple times, causing havoc for the public education system. Sam Zeff talks to Mayor Sly James about a new approach to providing assistance to families dealing with this problem.
Ready to go spelunking?

The show is described as "an irreverent yet loving review of Yiddish Vaudeville." The show includes cheap jokes, magic tricks, ukulele music, hypnotism, a Yiddish bullfight poem and a live, onstage beheading.

Mark Twain made no point of calling the hare "rabbit" Rabbit
It seems like no one knows the reason why early colonists dropped the word hare.Yet hares are very different from rabbits. Besides biological differences hares will never be pets. Rabbits are pets, bunnies.
The hare is a special animal, creature of wild nature,lore, religion and legend. Why are prescriptivist fighting over a hyphen and not a word against the misnomering of the Hare?
What's in a name
.E. hara "hare," from W.Gmc. *khasan- (cf. Du. hase, O.H.G. haso), possibly with a sense of "gray" (cf. O.E. hasu "gray"). Cognate with Skt. sasah, Afghan soe, Welsh ceinach "hare." Hare-brained is from 1548, on notion of "flighty, skittish;" hare-lip is from 1567.
"þou hast a crokyd tunge heldyng wyth hownd and wyth hare." ["Jacob's Well," c.1440]
1398, "young of the cony," from Fr. dialect (cf. Walloon robète), dim. of Flem. or M.Du. robbe "rabbit," of unknown origin. The adult was a cony (q.v.) until 18c.
"Zoologically speaking, there are no native rabbits in the United States; they are all hares. But the early colonists, for some unknown reason, dropped the word hare out of their vocabulary, and it is rarely heard in American speech to this day. When it appears it is almost always applied to the so-called Belgian hare, which, curiously enough, is not a hare at all, but a true rabbit." [H.L. Mencken]

coney island, (no longer an island, but it once was) got its name from the hares conys that were found on the island.
(there might be some rabbits kept as pets nowdays, but no wild hares or rabbits live there now!)

Well whatever happened to the hares of Coney Island?
Now I wonder Helen, what manner of meat was found in those delicious New York hot dogs that were once called "coneys"? Why didn't they call them "haries"?

Nathans (of coney island) has kosher (all beef--and only the front end of cow beef!) hot dogs. (i don't know if hare (or rabbit is kosher or not..)
as for what happened to all the coney's--ask BranShea--they all disappeared while NY was still New Amsterdam! lots of brooklyn (and queens) place names are dutch..(well lots of NY (city and state!) place names are dutch..
all the Kills (freshkills, fishkills, Peekskills, are dutch in origin (as is Flushing and Harlem (in the netherlands its spelled harlaam) Bushwick and van wyck and van dyke, and all the vans are dutch too, and so is flatbush.
and NY brownstones bear an uncanny resemblance to the town houses of amsterdam.. complete with stoops.. (and wife's inside have coffee clatches, with cookies!)
my guess is all those thrifty dutch housewives made a lot of rabbit stew!

Ho,ho,ho Helen, we may have all eaten them , but at least we respected their good names. (Harlem is called Haarlem here)
(what's in a name)I hope all those Kill names onely refer to hares,though I have my doubts. Cause I don't really know who ran faster, the hare or the indian.
No,no!I remember now ; kil/kiel is an old Dutch word for a small stream. We have here Dordtse Kiel, a little stream.
Kill--- No kill
Online ethymology:"stream," 1639, Amer.Eng., from Du. kil, from M.Du. kille "riverbed," especially in place names.
Is there any water to be seen round those place that bear the name Kill? Helen?

Oops-- i remembered the dutch haarlem had 2 a's--just got them in the wrong place (it was late)
and yes, all the kill's are waterways (stream, etc) or located (if town/city's on streems (Fishkill and Peekskill are city's on the hudson river at places were streams join this river)
the Great Kills is a stream in the marsh lands of Staten Island (there is a great kills harbor too)
Dutch kills (a neighborhood in western queens is one of the few that doesn't have a waterway. the kill was "improved" out of existance! --dutch kills is near the Newton creek, and van Dam Avenue in queens..(a largely, but not entirely, industrial wharehouse area.)
we also, now that i think of it, have some dorps.. New Dorp comes to mind (dorp --a small town or settlement.)(also in Staten Island)
(in the movie, 39 Steps, (an alfred hitchcock movie) a character says he comes from "a one shay dorp" (he is a visitor from South Africa)-- a shay is a kind of carriage (a fancy horse drawn carriage), and a dorp, a small town--
how small? today we would say "blink and you miss it" or "only big enough to have 1 traffic signal(or light)", but a town only small enough for there to be only one fancy carriage is pretty small.
is dorp still used in the netherlands?

I should bring a little rowing boat then and row down the kills of New York.
Yes, dorp pl.-dorpen is still the same. Many dorpen have been annexeted by expanding cities, just like it happened in New York.
But there are countless little villages. I give you one in Friesland. Church in the centerpart, some houses and then farms starting from the outsides.
These are parts where hares can be found. Rabbits live in the dunes and sandy woods.
Aldsjerk, Friesland
Hey!Oops! I wonder where all the cows have gone. ( High tech barns?)

i can't embed a satelite photo of new dorp (staten island) here (google limitation)
but here is a link
the blue outlined road in lower right corner is hyland blvd, the main cross street is New Dorp (rd?lane?)
like most of NYC its pretty developed with very few open bits of land.. (but like most of staten island, small one and two family homes!
the only thing i really know about friesland is, its dialect is the closest to english.. (it's possible to construct some sentences that make sense (and have the same meaning!) in both english and friesian.)

the only thing i really know about friesland is, its dialect is the closest to english.
There are a couple of Frisian languages spread out in the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany. The same Wikipedia (cum grano salisch) has a sample text from West Frisian (Frysk). I knew a Frisian once, and showed him Beowulf in Old English. He was able to pick up the meaning of the text better than Anglophones. The Frisians are also the butt of many moron-style jokes in Germany. A famous German comic, Otto Waalkes, comes from Friesland, and he sometimes plays to the stereotypes that other Germans have about that area._________________________

Every high school student in Wisconsin would take the ACT college entrance exam during their junior year under a proposal up for a vote in the Legislature's budget committee.
The plan by state superintendent Tony Evers and Gov. Scott Walker was before the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee for a vote Tuesday.
A series of tests including the ACT exam for college juniors would replace the Wisconsin Knowledge Concepts Examination starting in the 2014 school year.
All 11th grade students would take the ACT, as well as another test designed to assess job skills called WorkKeys. Students in elementary grades would take a new test being designed by a 28-state consortium that includes Wisconsin.
The state would pay the $50 cost of high school students taking the ACT.

Yeah, you can find links to this signing in a couple places so far, with even some of them saying Bogans should be with us by Monday's game against Charlotte. Main bullet points on Bogans are that he plays good perimeter defense and can occasionally hit a 3-pointer, but otherwise not much from an offensive standpoint.
It's never a bad thing to have another perimeter defender in your backcourt, but not sure where Bogans would get his minutes. If Shump and Fields continue to start, then you would expect Bibby, Walker, and TD to grab all the minutes off the bench. We've already seen TD essentially phased out the last 2 games with Shump's emergence, but then again that might be due to his shoulder issues. Maybe Bogans can play some 3 behind Melo or maybe he's just going to be an insurance option in case we run into teams where we show no ability to defend the other team's pick and roll or the like.

Once of the biggest things though is I want to add air conditioning because I plan on actually driving the car & I have become too old & fat to be uncomfortable.I know there are probably people here who have done this, and I am sure it has been discussed, but my search turned up empty. I am looking for any & all advice that is available for this upgrade, any particular vendors I should use or avoid, modifications needed, that sort of thing.

Wishful Thinking?
"If a man could have half of his wishes, he would double his troubles."
— Benjamin Franklin (1705 – 1790)
So? Maybe those troubles would actually be worth it, Benji. Ever think of that? Probably not.
Because you're dead.
But if you were alive I don't think you'd see the harm in my team having a good run like the Yankees did in '96, '98, '99 and 2000 if it meant I'd have to endure a decade of them being awful. I do remember the '90s I'll have you know.
So let's just entertain this idea for a second and ask the baseball gods to grant me these three wishes:
May the Cardinals Reach the Post-Season
Doesn't seem like this is still out of reach but I feel like I better wish for it anyway. The rest of the schedule appears to support the possiblity: three games with the Cubs — who have proven thus far in September that they are still the Cubs — and then the Pirates, Reds, three more with the Cubs, then the Diamondbacks and Reds to finish out the season. Excluding the NL Central leaders, it doesn't seem like that tough of a task.
Then again, "the Cardinals shouldn't have made it this far" say the baseball pundits.
May the Palin Hype Be Exposed for What It Actually Is: HYPE
Yeah, I know it's asking a lot to have the baseball gods interfere in politics, but this is important… very important. Sure, she's attractive. She's sassy. She's got that sparkly star-quality that has been absent from the GOP since the Reagan years. But does she really warrant this?
I think as the double standard dissolves, the hair comes down and we US Americans get a handle on what she really stands for (teaching creationism in schools, taking away a woman's right to choose, making sure firearms are still readily available) people will get a clue and start digging on those issues. Having Palin one literal heartbeat away from the highest office in the world is pretty scary s*** if you ask me.
May Successful Baseball Players Learn Not to Injure Themselves In Frustration and Damage Their Teams' Chances at Making a Playoff Run
Carlos Quentin slamming his wrist against his bat because he was upset that he struck out was not cool. Carlos Quentin slamming his wrist against his bat (because he was upset that he struck out) and subsequently ending his season was definitely not cool. Didn't anyone learn anything from Kevin Brown? If your name is Donnie Dolittle and you ride the bench, fine, go ahead and take yourself out of the lineup indefinitely. But if you're the catalyst for everything that has been good for the surprise Southsiders this season, then you certainly need to grow up and NOT hurt yourself.
Thankfully, the Sox aren't out of the playoff hunt because of this, but they are a million times better with Quentin in the lineup.
These are the only things I ask for, folks. That's it. Nothing else…
But before I go, I'd like to introduce Gov. Palin to Bill Maher:
You can hate him. You can hate me. But don't hate us 'cuz we're right.

I've come to the belief that we're all underestimating the sheer audacity of the Republicans (at our peril) as they try to wrest the "change" mantra away from Obama and make general statements to counteract the fact that the last zealot that was elected with only a vague notion of how to run things and a deeply held belief in God walked in and wrecked the place.
After seeing the report on MSNBC last night that the lovely Gov. Palin has been not just stretching the truth about her "Thanks but no thanks" reaction on the "Bridge to Nowhere", but is out-and-out lying about it by saying it seven times until yesterday, all in different speeches, I actually thought to myself, "They're not gonna say it again. They can't. It's been proven to be not just a game of political truth-juggling, but an outright fabrication. They'll let it fade away and forget they even asserted it." Then about an hour ago, as she was speaking in front of an adoring crowd in Virginia, she said it AGAIN!!! Obama had better take off the gloves and fast.
You've got to admit that the whole Palin thing is funny though. I don't know if you saw the MTV VMA's but the guy hosting made a joke out of Palin's daughter's situation. He said he felt sorry for the father, who is just a boy having unprotected sex one day and then rushed to the Republican Convention the next day and that's a lesson on safe sex. "Wear a condom or become republican" Lol, it was hilarious.
In all seriousness though, it would baffle me if the tag team of stupidness got elected. If they win this country deserves the hell that's coming toward it.
I'll be glad for ya if the Cards make it to the postseason 'cuz I do not hate you 'cuz you're right.

Just please answer me this…Why do all liberals, democrats,…whatever you want to call yourselves, think that all republicans are stupid? I'm finding this to be more and more evident as this presidential campaign continues. I also wonder why, Jeff, you seem to be so very angry (as all liberals are) about our world in general. It's as though not only are you trying to convince everyone around you, but also yourself, that this country is horrible and we should be ashamed to be Americans….that the only one to save us is Obama. One last thing…us AMERICANS in these "fly-over-states" have a vote too.
I wouldn't go as far to say that I am angry. I'm not really. Does the state of our nation bother me? Sure it does. Do I think Obama will fix it all? No. But his proposal would be a good start. I've endured 8 long years of idiocy (that's where we Libs get the "Republican = Stupid" thing) from GW Bush and I want it to change yesterday. I have said it many a time that I don't believe all conservatives are alike. My dad is an o'reilly-lovin, gw-supportin', gun-blazin' GOP backer and I love him just the same. At the same time, when we invade countries without circumstance and throw our nose-in-the-air attitude around the world, it does embarrass me. I have lived in Spain and China for extended periods of time and the world sees us Americans (because of our government representatives) as bullies. They see us that way for a reason and I expose those reasons ad nauseum with the hope that it will — eventually — change. Remember, without liberals, women wouldn't be able to vote, blacks would be enslaved, and women wouldn't have the right to choose what they do with their own bodies (just to name a few).
I agree with the math teacher. Look at the news sources from the other posters…MSLSD and MTV. Incredible, the lack of thought that must go into assertions such as those of Mr. Maher. If humans are evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes? Are they unable to evolve? (contradicting the theory) To answer your question Mr. Math teacher, Liberals are so much more "enlightened" (indoctrinated) than US Americans. That is why they consider everyone who thinks unlike them as ignorant. They will always try and solve our problems for us with more and worse public policy, as long as the "fly-over states" (gun-toting, religion-clinging voter core) allows them. I yearn to be free….from Liberal government control. BSRS should stick to what they do best, baseball.
For the record, I do believe it was obvious that I quoting a joke [aka thing not to be taken seriously]. For one, I'm not claiming I know much about the political world, and frankly I don't care as much as the next person because I'm not even old enough to vote yet, but I'm not stupid. I don't base my views on MTV or the other comedic shots at the republican party so don't be so quick to make your assertions Mr. Brian_Dez.
Also, I think Jeff will agree when I say: Can anyone these days take a joke? Why so serious?
V – http:/flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com
Ha ha! I love it! Nothing gets people charged like baseball and politics! Can't wait for my Texas-secession father to chime in. Yikes!
The guy hosting the MTV thing was Russell from England (it was me!!). Actually it wasn't me but it was strange seeing Russell Brand on American TV.
On the subject of the election I think I speak for the whole world when I say that we want Obama to win, firstly because everybody wants to like America again, and secondly with the introduction of Palin we are all getting a little uneasy about having people who believe in "the rapture" in the White House.

A running relay just Chi(town) of Mad (City)
Team covers distance between Madison and Chicago on foot
Countless people make the trip from Madison to Chicago, but it's safe to say that not too many of them do it exclusively by foot.
That is what six local athletes did on June 11-12 as they took part in the annual MC 200 relay race, in which team members alternate running shifts to cover the distance between the two cities.
The race poses a unique test, even for seasoned runners, and that challenge is exactly what caught the attention of Anna Nieznanski of Franklin and Mary Wiczynski of Hales Corners, two of the members of the local team.
"It is a cool experience," Nieznanski said, who is also the assistant softball coach at Whitnall High School. "It is a neat thing to say that you've done. It is something different. Running from Madison to Chicago is something not a lot of people have done."
Wiczynski, who was responsible for putting the six-person group together, added, "I've known Anna for a number of years, and we are both competitive people. We like to try new and crazy things, and I guess we just put this on our lists. It's interesting, new and a challenge."
'Are you crazy?'
They both found that the concept is difficult for many others to understand.
"I have never seen so many people look at me like 'you're crazy,' " Nieznanski said. "They say, 'Why are you doing this?' "
Wiczynski said, "People do give you funny looks, like 'are you joking?'"
The MC 200 race allows for relay teams of up to 12 members but as low as two.
"As a joke, I first called Anna and said we could do it together," Wiczynski recalled. "We then realized it was 200 miles, so each of us would do 100 miles. We decided we better get some more people together."
They wound up with six runners, which fell into the race's "ultra" category for teams of two to six people. Teams of more than six people were called "regular." There were several divisions for both ultra and regular squads.
Nieznanski's fiance, Ryan Seefeldt, drove a van carrying the runners, their equipment and supplies.
The setup was that one of the six would do the running at one particular time, with the van going on ahead to a transfer area, which occurred every three to nine miles. At that point, the runner would go into the van, with another person coming out to run the next shift. The six alternated, following the same order, through the day and night.
Each person on the local team would run for about 30 to 75 minutes, then would rest for 3½ to five hours between shifts. At the end of the race, Nieznanski said, each runner totaled anywhere from 28 to 40 miles.
They ran through all kinds of weather, experiencing hot and stifling conditions on Friday night to rainfall that was so strong it forced a 90-minute delay in the race on Saturday morning.
Nieznanski said the group found ways to cope with the heat. "I think the heat index was over 100 degrees, but we had coolers and we used washcloths wrapped around ice cubes to cool ourselves," she said. "We also just kept pushing fluids."
Chicago, via Milwaukee
The race began in Madison at 8 a.m. on Friday, and the group traveled though the Glacial Drumlin Trail to the New Berlin Trail, winding up at the Greenfield Park Golf Course at dusk.
They then used city streets to go from the golf course to the Milwaukee Mile at State Fair Park, West Allis Hale High School and Martin Luther High School in Greendale, where they arrived about 11 p.m.
The local runners had an advantage, since they all lived in the area. "That was a cool thing," Wiczynski said. "We could say, 'Hey, we're home!' "
Beyond the familiarity, the local surroundings also enabled those who were not running at the time to go to Nieznanski's home for a quick shower, some food and about 20 minutes each of rest.
The group made it to Oak Creek-South Milwaukee about 2 a.m. Saturday and Racine-Kenosha by 4 a.m. By dawn, they were in Zion-Waukegan, Illinois.
Following both rural roads and city streets, they made their way to northern Chicago by 8 a.m. With the race pushed back by the rain delay, they reached the finish line at Chicago's Lincoln Park by mid-afternoon.
Finishing up, and then sleep
Seefeldt then drove the van home as all the runners finally were able to get some significant sleep. "He was a real trooper," said Nieznanski of her fiance, who drove the entire race course.
The group finished in 30 hours, 45 minutes, 24 seconds, which placed it second in its division of mixed (men and women) ultra teams. Wiczynski said the local team was 60th overall of about 200 groups.
Nieznanski said the group benefitted from the experience.
"We did things we didn't know we would be able to do," she said. "It was fun; a lot of work, but worth it. The challenge was to keep your muscles fresh, keep them from tightening up between shifts. You have to run, recover, then run again. That is different than running a marathon."
Wiczynski said the running itself was the easiest part. "The tough part was staying up for 30 hours," she said. We kept eating (protein) bars and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I don't think I will have another Cliff bar for a long time."
Despite all the difficulties, both runners said given the opportunity, they would run the race again someday. "I would, actually," Wiczynski said, "with a close-knit group of friends."
Local participants who ran in the MC 200 relay race from Madison to Chicago earlier this month:
Matthew Hibbard, Franklin
Mary Wiczynski, Hales Corners
Anna Nieznanski, Franklin
Sam Sporleder, Franklin
Bill Gebhard, Oak Creek
T.J. Kells, Brookfield

This much is clear, even after a devastating ACL injury, we can still expect Shump to give it his all on the basketball court. If he ever develops a drive to the basket game, watch out. He already has the shooting, verticality, quickness, and defensive savvy.
The Knicks should do the right thing and lock this kid up for the good of the franchise. A hard worker and a defensive beast! A future DPOY, IMO.
Signature created by AmareforPresident
He is honestly the best basketball player on the knicks right now. He can defend any one in positions 1-3 and has been developing a nice jump shot while continuing to clean up on the glass, pick pockets, disrupt plays, and bring a crazy amount of energy to the team. I feel he is directly responsible for uplifting the knicks to a win in game 2 over the pacers. He is blossoming into a full grown man with intensity and focus. No one in the game looked more like a basketball player then shump did last night. That put back slam was just the icing on the cake. I jumped out of my seat and scared the **** out of my wife when it went down. I predict a solid 20 pt - 6 reb - 4 ast - 3 steals average for him next year.
Plenty of time to lock him up but the Knicks will pick up his 3 and 4th year rookie contract option. He's been big in the playoffs when it counts unlike some of the vets like Camby and Kidd.
Finally the real Shump woke up, he should take Smith's minutes.
At one point when Indiana was getting close and about to take the lead.....Reggie Miller said the Knicks were lacking a sense of urgency.....
I looked at the 5 on court and you could say that about 4 of them....but not about Shump. The guy was playing his ass off no doubt about it!
Sent from my LG-P999
Haha, thanks my dude but I cant take credit for that. One of my cousins produced that track and Billionz is a dude from around the way. I just have some strong influences in the entertainment biz, just using my connects to push some of my fam and friends through various channels in hopes of getting them more shine. I probably wouldnt have done so well with the Knicks this year if it wasnt for Wonder Mike(Sugar Hill Gang) hes fam and always connected me to a lot of peeps. Plus everytime they played at the games the Knicks won (hint, hint,) lol.
Felicia Temple [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
(another family member) sang the national anthem a lil while back. Shump and her have been staying in contact ever since. Remember her name because she is going to make some noise this year.
yesterday, I also got a chance to see Amare, Novak, and Copeland, some Knick city dancers and kids.. They were chilling in the longue waiting to see Sugar Hill. Allan Houston came in and gave him an autograph Jersey, and Woody shouted out an old verse from one of his albums before they all boarded the bus and bounced out of town. It was a good night I really wanted to say a few extra things to Novak and Stat but it just wasn't the right time. Hopefully I get to see them again soon. if I do, hopefully it's in a more relaxed/lay back environment, that way I can lay down the hammer on them...lol
I really think the Knicks are going to do it this year.
Shump is the future of face of the franchise. We should build the team around him. He have the right attitude. He plays hard every night. Give it 3 more years and then make him a captain.

Thank you for visiting Little House in the Suburbs. If you like what you see, please SUBSCRIBE.
I thought that with all of the emphasis on recycling and reusing these days, a no-sew rag rug post would be more common. However, in my own internet research, I find that it's something of a unicorn.
It follows the same principle that we all used in making those funny cotton loop potholders–under, over, under, over. See? You've already got 3/4ths of the technique.
No-Sew Homemade Rag Rug (Or trivet, potholder, centerpiece, place mat, what-have-you.)
1. Cut strips of fabric 1-3 inches wide and remove seams. I like three foot strips, but the length only matters for how often you want to be taking the time to join new strips.
2. Tie two strips in a simple loose knot. You'll be trying to shove fabric through this later, so too tight and you might get aggravated. Also, notice that the pieces in the picture are UNEVEN. At the end of every strand, you'll have to join a new one, and it looks better if that's staggered.
3. If you want stripes like mine, arrange your strips so that they alternate A,B,A,B when you lay them flat. Then take the one on the right side and go under, over, under.
4. Continue taking each right-hand strand and going under, over, under (Notice that it's not a TIGHT braid. Just snug enough to lay flat and hold it's shape.)
5. When you get a braid about 1/2 the length of the rug you want, it's time to turn. I went under, over, under with that gray strip and then turned it to the right so I could tuck it in the edge of the original braid.
Depending on your material, your rug may not want to lie flat if you turn it too quickly, so you may not get to tuck EVERY strand into the original braid. Sometimes you might have to skip tucking a couple so you can turn the corner smoothly.
6. Work your way back down to the starting knot following the exact same pattern as you used to make the original braid, just tucking the end through each time. (If you want the stripes, tuck it in it's OWN color as you come around and down.)
7. Once you get back down to the original knot, and work your way around the curve, skipping and tucking as necessary to lay flat, it's time to add a strip! To maintain the stripes, I joined one of each color together and stuck it through the starting knot in a way that kept the pattern. Then I continued braiding the same way I had been all along, but now it was under, over, under, over, under–>TUCK!
Intermission: WHEW, this is way harder to explain than it is to do! For another explanation, in fact the only other explanation I've seen on the whole internet, click here.
Let's also pause to learn how to join (slip-knot) strips to each other:
Cut a hole in the ends of both strips you want to join. Shove the new on through the old one. Then push the tail end of the new strip through it's own hole and tug until snug.
Back to our regularly scheduled tutorial…
8. Braid all of the way down to the end and back up the other side to the original knot. Add another strip where ever you can sneak it in to make eight strips.
9. Pick up that right-hand gray one, and go under, over, under, over, under, over, under, over, under–>TUCK!
9. Every time you work yourself back to the beginning knot, add another set of strips until you get the size rug you're looking for.
10. Once the rug is the width you want it across
the middle, it's time to work yourself back down to 8 strips, then 6, 4, 2, and finally none in a way that doesn't throw off your overall shape. When I decreased in the picture, I went under, over, under, over, under–>TUCK–>TUCK AGAIN under two more blues horizontally—>snip off the excess. Continue until you run out of strands.

LEED BD+C: Homes v3 - LEED 2008
Villa Alegre Phase 1 & 2
LEED Platinum 2011
LEED gave us better plans, better processes and better quality at minimal additional costs to the project. The major focus defined in the design charrettes was energy and water efficiency: Water because we have so little water and energy because we have so many opportunities.
Santa Fe Civic Housing Authority completed the first 111 affordable LEED for Homes units in the Santa Fe area: Villa Alegre Phase 1 and 2. The project broke ground in June of 2010 and achieved LEED Platinum certification in November of 2011. The project is a single-family attached (townhouse) project consisting of 44 one- and two-story buildings that have between two and six units each. Phase 1 of the project consists of 60 family units plus a community center; phase 2 consists of 50 senior housing units, one caretakers' unit, and a community center.
"After reviewing the ARRA grant requirements and modifications made by the development team, we found value in LEED certification as it related to transforming our plans into the greenest and most sustainable project possible within our budget. LEED gave us better plans, better processes and better quality at minimal additional costs to the project ," said Ed Romero, Executive Director of the housing authority.
Villa Alegre is located at 851 and 871 West Alameda Street, less than three-quarters of a mile from the Santa Fe Plaza, a national historical landmark on the National Register of Historic Places. This infill project had to adhere to historic district requirements to preserve the City's cultural and historical significance. The architect strived to integrate the project into the historical neighborhood fabric and build harmony with the community.
Also high on the architect's list of goals was quality designed and constructed units (especially within the Low Income Housing standard) and maximizing housing opportunities in the Santa Fe historic downtown area. The project team succeeded in making 97 of the 111 units affordable. Mike Duty stated, "We wanted everyone to have a ground floor experience through entry portals and backyard courts. Also, it was important for everyone to have a visual and physical connection to the landscaped common spaces. This does not occur on many housing projects."
The project focuses heavily on reducing energy use by incorporating a geothermal exchange system with ground-source heat pumps and a 240-kilowatt photovoltaic system. The units also feature ENERGY STAR windows, high-efficiency lighting fixtures, compact fluorescent bulbs, and high-density, blown insulation. Other energy efficiency upgrades include instantaneous water heaters, programmable thermostats, high-efficiency furnaces and air conditioners, and mechanical ventilation to enhance the indoor air quality. As a result of incorporating energy-saving products and technologies, all of the units in this project have achieved a 42 or better Home Energy Rating System (HERS) index score and will be ENERGY STAR qualified, and many units will exceed the 2030 Challenge.
It was important to the project team and the community to have a water-efficient project. Located in the arid high desert of New Mexico, Villa Alegre only receives an average of 14 inches of rain a year. The project team focused on reducing water use with design goals of 61% indoor water savings and approximately 65% exterior water savings.
Site Context
The senior side of the project scores an impressive Walk Score of 86; the family side scores 78. There are 286 amenities within a one-mile radius. These amenities range from public transportation, DeVargas Mall, museums, and the Santa Fe Plaza. The plaza was the original center of town and is still the "heart of Santa Fe." The plaza has numerous annual events such as Spanish and Santa Fe Indian Markets, Fiestas de Santa Fe, and Santa Fe Bandstand. The project started as a demolition/disposition of 104 public housing units that were deemed insufficient to bring up to current building standards.

I am curious about whether other nursing toddlers personify the breast, the way my daughter does (she is almost 2). I don't think of it as a problem; it's sweet, and part of her growing imaginative world. (I'm sure if it had seriously bothered me, I could have clamped down on it; so if I hope nobody will be put off ebf by reading this and finding it freakish!) But it's pretty intense right now, and I don't know anybody else who nursed this long (and I'm abroad, away from LLL groups); so I'd appreciate knowing from you guys whether other toddlers act this way.
My daughter pretends my breasts are a whole other person, like a special doll or teddy -- only more so, because she shares her dolls, trucks and other toys with my breasts. She likes talking to them, and wants them to talk back. She gives them presents; they express desires for food, water, toys ("nana want a banana, please please"; "THANK YOU", she ventriloquizes, when an imaginary banana has been offered); they apparently want to read stories with her, and particularly like magazines; if she sees a picture she finds interesting, she says, "Nana see it too!" When I say, "Let's go to the park", she says, "Nana come too!" She is also very protective of them: sometimes imagines they feel sad, and says, "Feel better, Nana". She has a similar relationship with elbows -- she tends to play with my elbows while nursing, and now has an intense play relationship with my husband's elbows, too, which has really helped their bonding. "Ambulance siren! Elbow hear it!" This is useful in public, I can usually get her to switch her affections from breast to elbow. So, I know all this sounds a little weird, but I think it can be hilarious at times. It seems a positive development for her: it's role-playing a good, loving relationship. I have moments of being weirded out, but then I can get usually get her to cut it out or switch to the elbow or teddy without major angst. But I'm curious: is this unusual behaviour? In what I've read, on this site and in "Mothering your nursing toddler", there are a lot of examples of toddlers who pretend to be the mummy nursing, or who offer their teddy a go at the breast. My daughter did that too. But now the breast has a whole mind of its own. Any of you have similar experiences? And is the elbow thing common? Does this sound strange?

Low-Carb Breakfast Casserole with Sweet Italian Sausage, Mushrooms, and Cheese
(Makes 6 servings, recipe created by Kalyn.)
2 or 3 links sweet turkey Italian Sausage
1-2 tsp. olive oil + 1 T olive oil (more or less, depending on your pan)
1 lb. sliced mushrooms (I used plain white mushrooms, but Crimini mushrooms would be great)
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese, rinsed and drained
8 eggs, beaten until whites and yolks are well combined
1 tsp. Spike seasoning (optional but recommended, can also use any other spice blend you like with eggs)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese + 2 T for sprinkling on top
1/2 cup pizza cheese (a low-fat blend of Mozarella, Provolone, Romano, and Parmesan; can use other low-fat white cheese)
fresh ground black pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Add 1-2 tsp. olive oil to a small frying pan, squeeze sweet turkey Italian sausage out of casings, and cook until sausage is done and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. I used the sharp side of a metal turner to break the sausage apart as it cooked.
While sausage cooks, put cottage cheese into a fine strainer, put strainer in sink and rinse cottage cheese gently with cold water and let drain. Wash mushrooms, spin or pat dry, slice, and brown in about 1 T olive oil in a separate pan.
Break eggs into a medium sized bowl, then beat with a fork until yolks and whites are well combined. Add Spike seasoning, drained cottage cheese, and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and stir together.
Spray 9 X 13 glass or crockery casserole dish with olive oil or non-stick spray, then layer mushrooms, sausage, and pizza cheese. Pour egg mixture over other ingredients, then use a fork to gently stir so ingredients are well-distributed in eggs. Sprinkle 2 T Parmesan cheese over top and grind over some black pepper.
Bake casserole until eggs are set and slightly browned on top, about 25 minutes. Serve hot.
This will keep well in the fridge for as long as a week. When I make egg casseroles like this, I often divide them out into individual containers, then microwave it for breakfast all week. Be careful not to microwave too long or the eggs will get rubbery.
