'Onsaemiro' is a rice paper packaging project by student Kim Soonhee of Hoseo University in South Korea, developed to satisfy the growing need for health-conscious products.
The rice paper itself has an unusual coloring in both a brownish red and a gray, which is also reflected in the coloring of the packages. The leaf-like shapes of the containers also borrow from the shape of the rice paper itself and like the translation of the word "Onsaemiro" itself, this is a reference to nature.
Rice paper is quite thin, transparent and typically doesn't have a lot of personality as compared to some other foods. Aside from the light coloring and the woven texture on the rice papers, this packaging concept manages to give the simple, healthy food some additional much-needed interest.

Recommended Reading for CAD Managers13 Apr, 2011 By: Robert Green
CAD Manager's Toolbox: This guide is light on CAD, but heavy on management — and it contains some great insights.
I've never recommended a book in the "CAD Manager's Toolbox" column before, but this time I'm going to make an exception. Recently, I read a book by Jim Collins called Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap ... and Others Don't — and it was great indeed.
While Good to Great is essentially a management book, not a CAD book, I found the viewpoint to be very relevant for CAD managers nonetheless. The core message I took away is that you succeed because you focus on doing the things you do well a little better every day via leadership.
There is even an assertion that no company was ever successful just because they bought the latest software — sounds like heresy to CAD managers, right? But further reading reveals that successful companies implement software that helps them to better execute the tasks they already do.
If you want to improve your management chops and peer inside the mind of senior management, this book is a great read that doesn't take very long to get through.

If you were watching the March 25th edition of The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News, during the "Is It Legal?" segment with Kimberley Guilfoyle, you would have seen Bill O'Reilly use a mobile phone to illustrate one of the items in the piece….
So, who would ever have thought they would ever see Bill O'Reilly holding a Tardis-backed phone? Surely it can't be his phone? Can it?
Maybe he borrowed it from Craig Ferguson…

Hubby Jenkins (New York)
Hubby Jenkens is a talented multi-instrumentalist who is on a mission to share his love and knowledge of old-time American music. Born and raised in Brooklyn, he began to delve into his Southern roots – following the thread of African American history that wove itself through country blues, ragtime, fiddle and banjo, and traditional jazz.
Hubby got his higher musical education started as a busker, and developed his guitar and vocal craft on the sidewalks and subway platforms of New York City, performing material by those venerable artists whose work he was quickly absorbing. An ambitiously itinerant musician, he then took his show on the road, playing the streets, coffee shops, bars, and house parties of cities around the US.
After years of busking around the country and making a name for himself, Hubby became acquainted with the Carolina Chocolate Drops. Since 2010, he has been an integral part of the Grammy award-winning group, while continuing to work as a solo artist.

Janet, You Got Some 'Splainin' To Do!

He regularly contributes to AlphaBaskets and lends his institutional insight to educate advisors and investors about commodities and the forex markets, including about trading gold in different currency terms.
We had perhaps the lowest guess on The Street on Friday for this number, calling for only 125,000 new jobs to have been created and saying too that "We could…possibly… see something as low as 115,000… and everyone should be prepared for that initial shock." As we put forth those figures, we received several responses suggesting that we had lost our bearings economically and in retrospect rather obviously we had for despite the fact that we were amongst the very lowest on the Street we still missed the number by a full 100,000 when it was reported out at +38,000!
We liked the initial response by our friend, Mr. Steve Liesman, of CNBC, to the report when he said "We seem to have lost a digit somewhere" for indeed at least… AT LEAST!… 100,000 jobs were lost when the actual number was compared to The Street's consensus expectations. Further, all aspects of the report were dismaying, beginning with the truly material downward revisions in the previous two month's data. As we have said for years here in TGL, in most economic data points it is the "Direction of Revision" that is more important than is the fresh data itself, for in periods of economic weakness all data…or at least most data… is revised for the economic worse, while in periods of economic strength the reverse is of course the case. That said, last month's non-farm payrolls were revised downward from +160,000 to 123,500 and the previous month's number was revised downward… again… by even a bit more.
Private payrolls were revised down from +171,000 to 130,000 and the new month showed growth of only +25,000… a "miss" ty the consensus of 125,000! Average hourly earnings were expected to have risen by +0.2% and at least that was matched by the report itself, but there had been hope that the number of hours worked might have risen even as non-farm payrolls were expected to have risen sharply too. They did not: average hours worked rose only as expected and that too was therefore a disappointment.
Let's not mince words here: this was a devastatingly bad report. There is nothing in it that can be spun into something positive suggests when labor conditions turn for the worse they do so over a broad period of time. This chart then has the look of that sort of broad "topping" out. Any… and we mean ANY… thoughts of a June increase in the O/n Fed funds rate has been taken out behind the barn and shot… several times until thoroughly and completely dead. Further, thoughts of a July rate increase may not have been shot and hit, but certainly they've been shot at and perhaps even badly "winged." Dr. Yellen, with her own economic center of gravity being her expertise in employment, has in the immortal words of Desi Arnaz "Some 'splainin' to do." Dr. Yellen will be given the opportunity to "'splain" the data later today when she speaks at a World Affairs Council meeting just after noon in Philadelphia today. We wish her well.
Turning to the metals markets, no one anywhere should be surprised by the fact that gold is higher, although some may take issue with the seriousness and the size of that strength. However, and very simply put, the employment report on Friday, as noted above, not only took any thoughts of tighter monetary policies off the table from the June FOMC meeting, but has almost certainly taken those same thoughts off the table from the impending July meeting also. Indeed, there will be thoughts argued that further easing, rather than potential tightening, is the order of the day. We'll take issue with that latter thought, but we'll wholly agree with the former two.

Chrome and Mozilla are working on a new concept called Web Intents/Actions. It extends the hyperlink idea, allowing sites to share features and functionality. A big part of the idea revolves around creating a collection of verbs (calls to action). I want to do a workshop, explaining the Web Intents concept and then ask the following questions:
How do we define 'the right words'?
How do you sort services into collections under a word?
How do you come up with calls to action that work with the broadest audience?

WASHINGTON — Pete Stark is sitting in a gilded meeting room in the House of Representatives. It is home to the powerful Ways and Means Committee that the Northern California Democrat might never chair, precisely because of the sort of verbal exchange he is attempting to explain at the moment:
"He said to me, 'Don't pee on my leg.' And in a sense I said, 'I won't.' "
Stark, nearly 78, is dissecting the latest in a hit parade of outbursts, this one pertaining to the likelihood of California's longest-serving congressman relieving himself on a constituent.
His colorful tirades don't offend the working-class Fremont district that has sent him to Washington 19 times. Now, though, Stark's temper threatens to cost him one of the most prestigious seats in Congress -- chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
The job could come open if a pending House investigation finds that the current chairman, Rep. Charles B. Rangel of New York, broke ethics laws by failing to report thousands of dollars in taxable income even while he was head of the tax-writing committee.

Berlin: Maybe even the experienced German players felt like they were in a weird dream. They have been reminded that football can deliver miracles.
And there are games in football that are like a natural phenomenon one cannot explain. The humiliating 7-1 (halftime 5-0) defeat of World Cup hosts Brazil came close, reports Xinhua.
For Germany it was a game full of records. Not only that Thomas Mueller notched his fifth tournament goal when opening the score, it was also Germany` s 2,000th in internationals.
Miroslav Klose` s strike to put Germany 2-0 up in the 23rd minute made him the World Cup`s all-time top-scorer on 16 goals.
It was like a tropical tornado of abominable power that blew Brazil away, reports Xinhua.
As much as the Germans must have been surprised about going 5-0 up within the space of 29 minutes (Toni Kroos 24th/26th and Sami Khedira 29th), they were also amazed at the naive attitude of Brazil` s defence.
Andre Schuerrle added twice more in the second half (69th/79th) before Oscar scored a consolation goal just before the end.
Germany came along with the same starting eleven as in their game against France, meaning Philipp Lahm played as right back and Sami Khedira and Bastian Schweinsteiger took control of the defensive midfield.
But this time Khedira played a much more offensive role, pushing the German attacks forward with a sensational determination. Lahm again was a key figure at the back along with Mats Hummels and Jerome Boateng in the centre.
The so-called new German pragmatism they showed in the tournament so far was quickly a story of yesterday as the midfielders Khedira, Schweinsteiger and Kroos were generated the devastating tornado up front.
The strikers Mueller, Klose, Oezil, had a lot of space and reminded one of the qualities they showed at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Quickly the Germans took advantage of the space they were given by the Brazilians.
Within seconds the variability of the German team was obvious to all. With precise passes they abandoned all thoughts about defence. Maybe that was what Khedira was talking about ahead of the game when he said: "Our football became more shrewd, more mature."
Without Neymar and Thiago Silva, Brazil was a plaything for the Germans. Like a surgeon having to do an emergency operation, Germany`s football was clinical that made the football world sit straight and listen.
German coach Joachim Loew substituted Hummels at half time in order to save his energy for the final Sunday. Per Mertesacker and Schuerrle came on. That`s a message which is well worth taking a closer look at.
Like in a pre-season friendly, Germany replaced a few regulars. And even now Brazil tried to ease the pain by scoring, but German keeper Manuel Neuer came into his own to shut the hosts out. He again proved that he is one of the world` s best.
For Brazil it was not only that Neymar and Thiago Silva were missing, it was simply against all odds what happened: They opened all doors to their opponents. So far the story that World Cup told the football world was: First of all, stay back then start to think about the festival up front.
As for the final, the German team still faces a huge task. They have to forget what happened in Belo Horizonte in order to avoid misleading thoughts. They haven`t won the World Cup yet, there is one more game to go.
The final either against the Netherlands or Argentina will be a new game, and far from another natural phenomenon like the one against Brazil. That win was their first ever win in a major tournament against Brazil.
At the 2002 World Cup they lost 2-0 to a fantastic Brazil as they did twice in the Confederations Cup tournaments 1999 and 2005. This time every shot seemed to hit the back of the net.
On the other hand, it would be more than an understatement, not to see the German team as a serious candidate for winning the 2014 World Cup. Some say they are 2014 World Cup top act. Now it`s on them not to lose control of themselves.

State government employees rarely make headlines, and when they do, the news is often bad. That's especially true in these cash-strapped times, when layoffs, postponed pay raises, cries of inefficiency and marches on state capitols are all the public ever hears about the nation's more than 2 million state government employees.
But Wednesday, May 7, many government workers will get public plaudits when 19 states mark State Employee Recognition Day, an annual event sponsored by the National Association of State Personnel Executives (NASPE).
"With nearly every state facing a budget crisis, it's more important than ever to show our dedicated state employees how much they are appreciated," said Sue Roberson, NASPE president and director of the Indiana Dept. of Personnel.
Festivities in participating states range from an awards ceremony in Georgia to a barbecue in Idaho to a singing contest in Washington.
South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R) has asked local merchants to offer discounts to state employees.
"In challenging economic and budget times, these dedicated servant leaders have assumed additional responsibilities and extra duties. . . .observance of South Carolina Employee Recognition Day provides a special time to express our appreciation and gratitude to our state employees for their hard work and dedication to our continued well-being and quality of life," Sanford said in a press release.
States holding employee recognition days include: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
State Employee Recognition Day was created in 2001 by former NASPE President Donna Traywick and former South Carolina Gov. Jim Hodges (D) in partnership with the National Governors Association. In 2002, 12 states reported holding some kind of recognition event for their employees.

Hard-line Serb wins race for Kosovo town
PRISTINA, Kosovo (AP) — A hard-line Kosovo Serb became the mayor of Mitrovica North on Sunday following a prolonged electoral race soured by the killing of one candidate and the arrest of another.
Goran Rakic, a Belgrade-backed candidate, won 52.6 percent of the ballots, according to official preliminary results. More than 28,000 people were registered to vote.
Rakic's main contender, Oliver Ivanovic, is in detention after a European Union prosecutor indicted him for allegedly committing war crimes against ethnic Albanians in 1999 and alleged murder in 2000. In January, Dimitrije Janicijevic, a candidate for mayor from a party that collaborates with ethnic Albanians, was gunned down outside his house.
NATO peacekeepers and EU police heightened security measures during Sunday's vote, the fourth such ballot in as many months. Previous attempts failed because of violence and intimidation.
During the initial poll on Nov. 3, a group of masked men smashed polling stations and destroyed voting material. The attack was blamed on Serb extremists wanting to disrupt the vote because they fear it endorsed Kosovo's 2008 secession from Serbia. That voted was annulled but the winner of the Dec. 1 subsequent poll then forced a new vote after he refused to swear allegiance to Kosovo's predominantly ethnic-Albanian institutions.
Serbs in Kosovo's tense north defy rule by the capital, Pristina, and back a Serbian claim over the territory.
Serbia and Kosovo are locked in an EU-led effort to overcome their differences and move closer to eventual membership in the 28-member bloc. As part of the talks, Serbia allowed its minority in four northern municipalities to vote in Kosovo elections despite strongly rejecting its secession.
The four municipalities in the north have said they will create a union with another five Serb-controlled municipalities scattered elsewhere in Kosovo that would give the minority more say over daily affairs.

Diplomatic is not a word often associated with Boris Johnson, new British Prime Minister Theresa May's surprise choice for foreign minister.
The former London mayor has a history of using his rapier wit — often in his regular newspaper columns — to mock other leaders and peoples, making for some awkward moments in the months to come.
Not all of his tackles have been rhetorical. During a trade visit to Japan in October 2015 he accidentally took out a 10-year-old boy during a game of street rugby.
The bumbling mop-haired politician known internationally as simply "Boris" also has a knack for being photographed in unflattering poses.
One of the most iconic images shows him dangling in mid-air, a British flag in either hand, after getting stuck on a zip wire during the 2012 London Olympics.
– Hitler-inspired EU –
In May, Johnson accused the EU of trying to create a superstate, continuing what he called a thousand-year-old tradition of trying bring the continent together under a single government.
"Napoleon, Hitler, various people tried this out, and it ends tragically. The EU is an attempt to do this by different methods," Johnson told The Sunday Telegraph in remarks that caused outrage in Brussels.
– 'Sadistic nurse' Hillary Clinton –
Writing in the Daily Telegraph in November 2007, when Clinton was running against Barack Obama for the US Democratic presidential nomination, Johnson described her as follows:
"She's got dyed blonde hair and pouty lips, and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital."
Before meeting Clinton last year he sought to paper over the comment, saying he was sure the "very distinguished" White House hopeful would take it "in the light-hearted spirit in which it was intended".
– 'Part-Kenyan' Obama –
In April, Johnson created a storm by suggesting that Obama had removed a bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office because of anti-British feelings linked to his African heritage.
"On day one of Obama's administration it was returned, without ceremony, to the British embassy in Washington," Johnson wrote in the Sun newspaper.
The ensuing row dominated the first day of Obama's visit to London where he pushed for Britain to remain in Europe.
"Some said it was a snub to Britain. Some said it was a symbol of the part-Kenyan president's ancestral dislike of the British empire, of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender," he added.
– 'Wankerer' Erdogan –
In May, Johnson won a prize for most rude poem about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan from the Spectator magazine which organised a contest in support of a German comedian facing charges for mocking the Turkish leader.
Johnson, whose great-grandfather was Turkish, came up with the following rhyme.
"There was a young fellow from Ankara/Who was a terrific wankerer/Till he sowed his wild oats/With the help of a goat/But he didn't even stop to thankera."
– African 'piccaninnies' with 'watermelon smiles' –
Writing about then Tony Blair's globetrotting ahead of a visit by the then prime minister to Africa in 2002, Johnson said he would be hailed by "flag-waving piccaninnies" with "watermelon smiles".
"No doubt the AK47s will fall silent, and the pangas (machetes) will stop their hacking of human flesh, and the tribal warriors will all break out in watermelon smiles to see the big white chief touch down in his big white British taxpayer-funded bird," he wrote.
Johnson apologised for the remarks when challenged about them six years later.

New York: Baseball player Alex Rodriguez has reportedly bought Oscar-winning actress Merly Streep`s Los Angeles property.
Rodriguez has bought a modern mid century mansion in the Hollywood Hills from Streep and closed the deal on Thursday, suggest reports.
The airy home comes with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a pool, marble floors, a smartphone-controlled security system and extensive skylights.
Streep bought the home in 2013 for USD 4.5 million and listed it for USD 7 million but Rodriguez reportedly paid less than the asking price.
"She`s a fan of his and of the Yankees, and they got along great," a source said.

Walk into a camera shop and you're faced with a thousand options. With technology breaking new ground, and causing prices to drop, which camera is right for you?
"Digital has changed photography absolutely, fundamentally at every level. But what it's done with cameras is give you a lot more value. Today's low-end camera, the affordable camera is so much more sophisticated than it ever was with film" says Paul Burrows, Editor of Camera Magazine. He's compiled a list of the top five cameras selling for around $200 or less.
"Very stylish little camera. Priced about $229 somewhere about that. You might even get it a little bit cheaper. Compact, slips in a pocket, slips in a handbag. 8.2 mega pixels resolution: all that means is lots of image quality and a good little zoom lens."
"Now the FE 20 is another camera at 8 mega pixels and a three-time zoom so that's kind of the standard features set at this price which is just under $200 but it has an interesting little feature called face detect and what that means when it sees a face in a scene, it locks onto it and exposes and focuses accurately for the face."
"The LS80 is available in a number of colours and colours are getting to be an important selling feature. People like something better than black or silver. Another 8 mega pixel camera and again another one with the image stabilisation feature."
"Nikon of course are a very big name in photography. Lots of professionals use Nikon cameras. Again, very compact, very stylish. Another 8 mega pixels camera with a 3 time zoom and an interesting little feature which is image stabilisation so avoiding camera-shake when you're shooting in low-light."
"Canon Powershot A470. It's Canon's more or less entry-level model. Just under $150 that's incredible value for money. 7 mega pixels. Slightly less than 8 but not anything you're going to notice in your image quality and a three-time zoom."
While $200 will get you a good camera these days, this is one of Australia's biggest sellers. It's three times the price but it has three times the features including triple zoom capacity, automatic night/day adjustment, face recognition - it knows when you're smiling, can tell the difference between a fast or a slow-moving shot, it's got widescreen, automatic flash and it takes video.
It's the PANASONIC TZ15 - $549
Features include: 10x optical zoom, 9.1 mega pixels, intelligent auto 3 inch lcd screen, movie mode and 29 millimetre wide angle lens.
Now you've got the tools you might still need talent.
Grant Schwarz is a professional photographer. "A good camera doesn't necessarily make you a good photographer, but here are some tips that can help: If you're taking pictures of family and friends make sure you get in close because the face is the most important and always focus on the eyes and try and keep out of harsh sunlight."
"For scenery shots try and keep two thirds of the actual scene itself, and one third sky. Rather than split it down the middle and try and keep your main subject off to one side rather than directly in the centre."
"If taking photos indoors make sure you have the window behind you or if the window is behind the subject, make sure you turn your flash on."
"Your 2 features in a camera you can't live without auto focus and flash, but luckily these days most cameras include those."

Any one else have this problem???
Too much milk...
I know there are those of you who would say this isn't a problem...especially if you are struggling with your supply but I really have too much.
DD is 5 weeks old and at night she'll sleep about 6 hrs. After she's been asleep about 4 hrs, I'm supper hard and full almost to the point of engorged. So I pump because otherwise I can't sleep due to the discomfort. When I pump, it takes me pumping 3 oz from each side just to soften...not empty. We recently starting giving DD a bottle (with milk I've pumped) for one feeding a day and the same thing happens. If I don't pump, I'm engorged by the next feeding.
So far I've been freezing everything I pump but I'm running out of freezer space and containers to freeze it in. And is not like I just have 4 bottles for storage. I have:
4-5 oz bottles
8-2 oz bottles
10-6 oz bottles
15-8 oz bottles
And they are almost all currently in use. I don't want to buy more but I hate the thought of just dumping the milk I pump.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Re: Any one else have this problem???
You might want to consider donating to a milk bank or a private donation.
If approved, milk banks will supply a pump and bottles free of charge - I have donated to the National Milk Bank (add .org to this to go to their site). I have also donated privately to a mom with an adopted baby through the MilkShare yahoo group.
I have had an abundant supply too, it drop a bit after awhile and is now more managable.
Either way, donating milk is a way to help other babies who really need BM or preemie babies in a NICU.
Also, I found that using the BM storage bags saves on space in the freezer. I lay my flat to freeze, then store then upright in a larger ziploc bag.
Re: Any one else have this problem???
Buy some Ameda or Gerber BM bags. You can freeze those laying down and it takes up a whole lot less space than using bottles.
You baby is still young and your supply is regulating. I was like that until DD was about 6 months old! LOL I had a freezer stash by that time of almost 150 oz and I still was pumping enough for DD to have at daycare!
Re: Any one else have this problem???
I would get bags, too. I have some I'm not using if you want to try them. :)
She's REALLY young, and I agree- your supply IS still regulating. I would get pretty engorged at night when mine were that old, too. :) Give it a little time so she and your body can reach an agreeable milk amount, LOL and then see what's going on. I'd say 3 months is when the engorgement ended for me, but I have two eating off of there, so you may still have to pump off the other breast when she wakes up. :)
Re: Any one else have this problem???
My milk supply was like that for the first 4 months. I gave the extra to my toddler. I would donate privately if you really can't store more. Otherwise I would get bags too because if something were to happen that you couldnt breastfeed for a few days, that milk will be a lifesaver to have on hand. With my first daughter I had problems with my gallbladder and I got sent to the hospital, I had to pump and dump for 72 hours after they ran the test they needed. DD had formula almost that entire time and her tummy did NOT react well. I really wished I had pumped milk then!
Re: Any one else have this problem???
My supply was about like that for 6-8 weeks (I can't remember for sure...) You might try pumping a bit less, or going as long as you can stand before you pump so that your body adjusts faster. That's what I did.
Re: Any one else have this problem???
I always have a TON of milk in those first couple of months. I think in a few weeks, you will notice that your body will adjust to your baby's needs and you won't have such an abundance.
It's good to have all that milk on hand, just in case. You can freeze it in a regular freezer for up to 3 months, a deep freezer for up to 6 months.
And donating is a great idea!
Re: Any one else have this problem???
My fav way to store brm... freeze milk in ice cube trays and then pop into freezer bags. The trays I used with my first measured out to each cube being 1 1/2 ounces. Made it really easy to know how much milk to get or leave without wasting it. If you do not have a deep freezer then make sure you are storing your milk in the main part of your freezer and in the back- not near the front or in the door.
If you belong to a moms group or something you could ask if anyone needs some for supplementing- I did that for several moms.
As your baby gets older though your milk will start to regulate itself better. However if you do continue to pump a lot or miss feeding to use bottles and then to pump then your body will continue makingthat much milk because it goes on demand. Therefore if what you want to do is get your milk to not do that then only pump or hand express to relieve the engorgment but not to really pump. Take a shower during these times or just let the milk drain out but don't really stimulate t to keep flowing with pump or hand- kwim.
Anyway it does eventually even out...Minda
Re: Any one else have this problem???
I have been pumping almost 15 months for my daughter...I had this issue about 4 weeks post after my 4th baby was born I was exclusively pumping because she couldnt breastfeed yet-she was a 27 weeker (1 lb 11 oz) and only taking in a teaspoon of my milk at a time through a feeding tube. I had 1/2 the NICU freezer ful- then they said i had to store the rest at home because other mom's needed the space- by the time she came home at 3 months old , i had my entire chest style deep freezer full and 3/4 of the upright deep freezer full-i used 2 containers and eventually bags to store my milk, bags took up less room... each container/bag had 4-6 oz of milk and there were over 400 of them !!!!. Kirsten came home at 3 mos old and , at 4 1/2 lbs exclusively breastfeeding and i still had to pump after she was done because i was still full. within 1 month of her coming home she had to get tube fed again due to some severe GI /feeding issues and had to be re-hospitalized a few times . I am so glad we didnt toss that milk! We were able to provide a big ol' stash of frozen milk from the min she was admitted - so there was never an issues of her not getting my milk because none was on hand when in the ICU She is still tube fed about 99% of her feeds - has a G-tube now-and as she got older my supply went down-that breastmilk was a fabulous backup! I have used up all that milk and struggling to keep up with the supply of 32 oz through her feeding tube a day- which would have been no prob back when she was a newborn because i was pumping about 2 liters worth a day back then! right now you are making a lot of milk because your baby is so young and you are transitioning your supply to meet her needs .As far as storingyour milk, lansinoh makes great breastmilk storage bags that store really flat- and if you want to continue to use container i have about 50 extra ones from the NICU-some new but most used used but clean (dishwasher safe) ill ship em out to ya free! I am using my milk faster than i can store it up so many of these containers are just sitting here.
Re: Any one else have this problem???
Personally, I would just keep storing it and rotate as needed. I'd even buy a deep freezer if I had to!
I had tons of milk with my twins (WAY more than they could take for MONTHS) and to this day I cannot believe the NICU didn't recommend that I freeze it! :headscratch: I was pumping 16oz every 3hrs round the clock and my twins were only taking 1oz at a time on a GOOD day! I wish my milk was that way with ALL my babies but I wasn't so lucky.
Re: Any one else have this problem???
I liked the Lansinoh freezer bags for breastmilk. They are great and easy to write the dates on.

|Photo: Doug Goodman
|New MPA Chairman Thomas O. Ryder pointed to Amazon.com and its 'flawless' next-day delivery service.
MPA representatives said this year's attendance at the conference would total around 550, a slight increase from last year's attendance.
'Quaint' delivery systems
In his inaugural address this morning, Thomas O. Ryder said magazines had to "rethink" their delivery systems, which he called "quaint." Amazon.com, he pointed out, "flawlessly" executes next-day delivery to its consumers. Magazines, on the other hand, require a six- to eight-week wait for subscriptions to kick in.
"I promise you, that's going to change," Mr. Ryder said. He also pointed out the folly in depending so heavily on the U.S. Postal Service for delivery, given the convulsive changes that have hurt it -- and the dynamics underpinning those changes that look likely to worsen.
Mr. Ryder also addressed the basic economics of the business. "In the future," he said, magazines needed to be "produce[d] for less and sell for more." He bluntly warned, "If you doubt that, you are wrong."
Competing with TV
He went on to wonder, as publishers have for years, why magazines as a medium are not competing effectively with TV. That medium was a particular sore spot for Mr. Ryder, who called its hold on advertiser imaginations "vulnerable." He touted magazines' editorial strengths, which he stood in sharp contrast to the "absolute drivel" he said constituted the bulk of TV today.
Mr. Ryder also cited the industry's need to "rethink" its staffing and build in more ethnic diversity. "By 2020," he pointed out, "so-called minorities" will make up the majority of the American population.
Recent successes
As the MPA's new chairman, Mr. Ryder succeeds Gruner & Jahr USA Publishing's president-CEO. Dan Brewster. In his parting address, Mr. Brewster touted the MPA's recent successes in two of the three goals he'd set out for his two-year term: staving off postal rate increases and marketing magazines as ad vehicles. The third mission of his tenure, he said, was reforming magazines' retail systems, which, he said to laughs from the audience, was a "goal I'm going to leave for my successor."
In his own remarks, Mr. Ryder implicitly acknowledged this challenge, saying magazines' "retail sales channel" was "on life support."
In other MPA-related news, TV Guide, which declined to renew its membership during the American Magazine Conference in 2000, rejoined the association.

Colorado lefties are in danger of losing what little credibility they have remaining with their overwrought hyperbole on the Republican gubernatorial candidates.
The latest example: ProgressNow's hysterical screed Monday denouncing Bob Beauprez's entrance into the race for the GOP nomination for governor as a "joke."
"For Beauprez to enter the crowded Republican gubernatorial race now is a slap in the face of every other conservative candidate in that race–especially considering Beauprez is no more viable a contender for governor than Tom Tancredo or anyone else," said ProgressNow executive director Amy Runyon-Harms.
It's touching to know that Runyon-Harms is so deeply concerned about the feelings of the other Republican candidates, but we at Cheap Seats can't help but think the lady doth protest too much–way too much.
Let's remember that Beauprez, a former congressman, showed he can appeal to Democrats and independents by winning election twice in the evenly split 7th Congressional District before leaving to run for governor in 2006.
If Beauprez were truly a non-factor, we suspect she wouldn't be quite so determined to tear down his candidacy before he can even issue an announcement.
We had the same feeling shortly after the Denver Post's Republican primary debate, when we saw the libs at ColoradoPols and ProgressNow Minister of Propaganda Alan Franklin rip into Mike Kopp's performance.
The camera may not love Kopp like it loves Greg Brophy—and let's face it, Brophy has been irresistible in these debates—but Kopp is a serious candidate who delivered a solid performance at the Post forum. Of course, you wouldn't know that from listening to the left's post-debate commentary.
Pols insisted that Kopp was "downright awful," while Franklin said in a post-debate interview with the Denver Post's Kurtis Lee that Kopp "was just kind of soft and muddled and didn't really powerfully articulate a position that would rally people to him."
Franklin added, "And I'm saying this impartially, really."
After we stopped laughing at Franklin's hilarious vow of objectivity, we put two and two together and concluded that the left had a game plan going into the debate, namely that Kopp would be declared the loser no matter what he said or did.
Why? We're not the first to observe that Kopp may be the candidate most feared by Democrats. His steady, unflappable demeanor doesn't lend itself to the attack ads that are the bread-and-butter of the Colorado Democrats' campaign strategy.
As we watch ProgressNow maneuver to discredit the Republican candidates, we can't help but wonder how this group maintains its tax-exempt status despite its blatant anti-GOP agenda. Then we remembered that the Obama administration's Internal Revenue Service only targets Tea Party groups and conservatives, not thinly disguised Democratic Party wolves in sheep's clothing.
We advise voters to remember that the left has an agenda for the 2014 election that has nothing to do with helping vet the candidates and everything to do with forcing its radical agenda on Colorado. Something to bear in mind the next time ProgressNow takes an unprovoked shot at a Republican.

A person interested in becoming an oncology nurse must have an active registered nursing license, says DiscoverNursing.com. They also must have at least 12 months experience as a registered nurse, 1000 hours of which must be in adult oncology, according to the Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation. A prospective oncology nurse also must complete 10 hours in oncology continuing education to qualify for the Oncology Certified Nurse, or OCN, certification,
A nurse who meets the requirements for the OCN certification can register for the test and pay the testing fee online, says the Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation. The prospective oncology nurse must pass a three-hour, multiple-choice exam, which consists of 165 questions as of 2015.
A person interested in becoming an oncology nurse can earn a registered nursing license by completing an associate degree or bachelor's degree in nursing. Registered nurse associate degree programs, available at community colleges, can be completed in approximately two years. Bachelor of nursing degree programs, available at four-year colleges and universities, can be completed in approximately four years. Some colleges and universities offer accelerated bachelor's degree in nursing programs, which can be completed in as few as 16 months, says Duke University. A newly licensed nurse interested in future certification as an oncology nurse can seek employment in a health care facility's oncology department and gain experience treating cancer patients.

Leak Testing
Avoid breathing the A/C Refrigerant 134a (R-134a) and the lubricant vapor or the mist. Exposure may irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Work in a well ventilated area. In order to remove R-134a from the A/C system, use service equipment that is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J 2210 (R-134a recycling equipment). If an accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before continuing service. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
For personal protection, goggles and gloves should be worn and a clean cloth wrapped around fittings, valves, and connections when doing work that includes opening the refrigerant system. If R-134a comes in contact with any part of the body severe frostbite and personal injury can result. The exposed area should be flushed immediately with cold water and prompt medical help should be obtained.
General Motors vehicles are now manufactured with fluorescent dye installed directly into the air conditioning (A/C) system.
Fluorescent dye will assist in locating any leaks in the A/C system. Leaks in the A/C system will be indicated in a light green or yellow color when using the leak detection lamp
Use the leak detection lamp in the following areas:
All fittings or connections that use seal washers or O-rings
To prevent false diagnosis in the future, thoroughly clean the residual dye from any area where leaks were found. Use an approved A/C dye cleaner.
NOTER-134A leak detection dye requires time to work. Depending upon the leak rate, a leak may not become visible for between 15 minutes and 7 days.
- Check the system with an approved halogen leak detector. Ensure that the vehicle has at least 0.45 kg (1 lb) of refrigerant in the A/C refrigeration system in order to perform a leak test.
- Follow the instructions supplied with the halogen leak detector.
- Follow a continuous path in order to ensure that you will not miss any possible leaks. Test all areas of the system for leaks.
- Clean and dry all surfaces in order to prevent a false warning. Liquids will damage the detector.
Halogen leak detectors are sensitive to the following items:
Windshield washing solutions
- Repair as needed.

Another little tidbit of advice:use the search function and read a lot of posts. Many of your questions have probably already been asked and answered by some very well informed folks. There is a lot to read and absorb on the forums, so take your time and browse around for a while.

Media Systems and Information Environments: A comparative approach to the agenda-setting hypothesis
Title: Media Systems and Information Environments: A comparative approach to the agenda-setting hypothesis
Author: SANTANA PEREIRA, José
Date: 2012
Citation: Florence : European University Institute, 2012
Series/Number: EUI PhD theses; Department of Political and Social Sciences
The present dissertation aims at the comparative study agenda-setting (i.e., the impact that media content has on the importance people give to several political and social issues) in Europe. The focus is set in the 2009 European Parliament election campaign period, and one of the central goals is to observe whether the media agenda-setting capacity varies from country to country or not, and why. The hypothetical causes of cross-country variability are the nature of the several European media systems (in terms of development of press markets, freedom of press, journalist professionalization, state intervention, media partisanship) and their effects in the informational environment, both from the perspective of the supply (information quality) and demand (trust in the media). The results show that these macro-level dimensions vary considerably in Europe, and that there is a link between media system dimensions related to politics, information quality and agenda-setting.
Defence date: 20 November 2012; Examining Board: Professor Mark N. Franklin, European University Institute (Supervisor); Professor Alexander H. Trechsel, European University Institute (Co-supervisor); Professor Shanto Iyengar, Stanford University; Professor Susan Banducci, University of Exeter.

So you've noticed a knocking sound when you brake or hit a bump? Sounds like a clunky metal sound coming from the forks? Well, most of the time when this happens it's the headsets fault. Most of the time. A few checks will help you determine the problem and with a simple guide you can avoid the mechanic and sort it yourself.
So let me begin (scratches ear, licks nose and shakes head violently):
There are several different types of headsets out there but for this short guide we'll focus on the two most common: threaded and threadless. One way to determine if your headset is loose is to brake hard and listen out for the 'clunk' sound or lift up the bike by the headset to see if there is any play or movement in the headset. If you've definitely got a clunk sound or movement, your headset might need adjustment.
Here's how:
- For threaded headset you'll need 2 large adjustable wrenches or 2 headset wrenches.
- Place first wrench on top lock nut and loosen it a little (anticlockwise). Then place second wrench on bottom locknut and tighten slightly clockwise. Check again if there is any play in it the headset. If there is, tighten lock nut on top tight, and check again. Remember there's tiny adjustments so you might have to go through this a few times to get it right.
- For threadless headset like with most road, hybrid, and mountain bikes, it is a little easier to adjust assuming it just needs a tighten. You'll need a allen key set. Like with the threaded headset, check if there is any play/movement in the headset (and not the brake) before you begin.
- To adjust: First loosen your stem bolts at the side of your stem. Loosen each a bolt a little at a time. Wiggle stem side to side to ensure that it is loose. Then loosen top bolt. Check again if headset is loose by gently dropping the bike.
- Gently tighten the top bolt until you feel resistance. Pull the brake and see if there is any play. If there is, gently tighten top bolt again and repeat until no play is felt.
- Once achieved align the stem with the front wheel and tighten the stem bolts. Check stem again and make sure it turns freely.
Remember if you are unsure or if you think that there is another problem (stem is seized etc) bring it to a bike mechanic to check to be on the safe side. I know a few mechanics here at The Bike Institute that are happy to help.
I'm off to chase squirrels now but catch me again next week for more advice on bike repair and maintenance - Woof!

NTERILIZER® provides products and protocols for the sterilization of Liquid Nitrogen in Assisted Reproduction (AR) clinics.
We offer an inexpensive and easy to implement method to sterilize Liquid Nitrogen in each of the three situations where contamination can occur: at preparation, during storage and at warming.
Sterilize Liquid Nitrogen for each situation
UV sterilizing technology
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is widely used to sterilize water, air and surgical materials.
UV radiation is subdivided into UV-A (wavelength 315-400 nm), UV-B (280-315 nm), and UV-C (40-280 nm). UV-C is the most energetic portion of ultraviolet radiation; it can cause electronic excitation leading to the breaking of chemical bonds and the formation of unpaired electron species, known as radicals, that are highly reactive and can damage DNA and cell replication deactivating all kinds of microorganisms from viruses to fungi. The technology to generate UV-C is based on a bulb that contains gaseous mercury which, when subjected to electricity, emits an ultraviolet radiation, 95% of which is at 253.7 nanometers. This wavelength is in the region of maximum germicidal effectiveness and is highly lethal to virus, bacteria and mold spores.

A Call for Proposals to Address Faith and Civil Discourse
Tulsa, Okla., June 28, 2012 – What contributions should people of religious faith make to civil discourse in the United States? Phillips Theological Seminary is inviting individuals to submit proposals on this topic for presentations to be delivered during the ReMind & ReNew 2013 conference, January 23-23, in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Through this "crowd-sourced" approach, PTS hopes to surface ideas for how to engage in meaningful conversations among people of faith about issues that often divide.
Anyone 18 years old or older is invited to submit a proposal. Persons who have experience in building bridges across divides are urged to apply; with particular interest in anyone who has recent experience in making contributions to civil discourse. A proposal should be no more than 250 words and should clearly respond to the question around which the conference is organized. Nine presentations will be accepted. PTS is committed to hearing diverse points of view; the hope is that presentations are informative, inspiring, thought-provoking, delivered with intelligence, passion, and humor.
The ReMind & ReNew conference will be comprised of presentations, conversation and worship. Each presentation will take no less than 20 minutes and no more than 30 minutes, and conversations will follow each presentation. Presenters chosen will receive a $300 honorarium and travel cost to the conference. Deadline for proposals is Monday, July 30, 2012. A decision on accepted proposals will be made by August 3, 2012.
The purpose of ReMind & ReNew conference is to gather religious professionals and interested publics for thought-provoking and spirit-renewing presentations, conversations and worship. More than 200 participants from diverse disciplines are expected to attend.

I know, I know - you've never heard of the brand, the product, and what does it even do??!
IASO is a Korean brand which has been around since 2001 however is only just finding its way to the European market. Their mantra is to provide a strong yet gentle and deep yet clear skincare. And that's exactly how I would describe the IASO Intensive Clear Booster. The company itself describes this booster as an 'intensive skin retexturiser' and it contains the following active ingredients:
AHA/BHA complex
Aloe Leaf Juice
Tea Tree Leaf Oil
Cetella Asiatica
Aloe Leaf Juice
Tea Tree Leaf Oil
Cetella Asiatica
I use it every day both in the morning and in the evening right before my moisturiser - the consistency is very thin and has very little scent to it so you literally cannot feel it on your skin. Surprisingly enough for something you can barely detect on your skin, it's incredibly effective. Within a couple of months I have noticed that the texture of my skin is visibly smoother and firmer (I sound like a skincare ad here aha!). But swear to God it's made my skin flake-less and so damn smooth!! You can see how pretty much flawless my skin looks (touch wood!) in this post (okay, okay, I am wearing a foundation but you can still see that the complexion is really smooth, no bumps, lumps or dry patches!). Definitely one that I would recommend over say Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Serum (which although I really enjoyed using it for the lovely scent, it has never turned my skin into something better and silkier as promised) or even Yonka Hydralia Serum (which I used to love more than life itself).
You can buy IASO Intensive Clear Booster here. The lovely company has also offered 15% off on all purchases via the GO-IASO website to all Cityscape Bliss readers - just use CITYSCAPE at the checkout! The offer is valid until 31/12/15. Thanks IASO team!
Have you used this brand before?
I'd love to hear how this booster works for troubled skin!

Hi Ramesh!
This is really nice. Krishna never made a flaw..what came across as His flaw, (for example, the killing of Gandhari's sons, in the eyes of Gandhari) was actually part of His 'leela'. Krishna is 'Ach-chyutam'; He is the only one who is flawless. All others can aspire to be at the most, 'anagh' or washed of sins, but not flawless.
Hare Krishna!
- July 29, 2009 at 10:28 AM
- shri ramesh sadasivam said...
Hi Ayesha,
When I say Krishna flaws, I meant the accumulation of negative karma. And I didn't mean only in this incarnation.
I'll give you an example. When he took the form of Vamana, he asked for a boon from Bali and used it in a way unexpected by Bali and took away his kingdom.
When he was Lord Rama, he payed the price.His step mother did the same thing to him.
This is the law of Karma. When you do something to others, you too will get the same in one way or other.
Krishna knows this. But owing to the upholding of Dharma, he accumulates such negative karma now and then, and he washes them off. Mostly by paying the price.
When you want to plant a seed, you know your hands will get muddy. You know you can wash it off once the job is done. Thats what, I said, Krishna does. He flaws and pays the price.
What you say is also right. He is 'Ach-chyutam'.
In that perspective, he never eats, never sleeps, never breathes. He was never born. Nor does he have a father or a mother.
This is sathsang. We can discuss this further, if you like.

Hi Ramesh!
Krishna is beyond 'Karma' because He is Parmaatmaa. Karma is only for the Jeevaatmaas. I reiterate that it was His 'Leela', to convey a message.
- July 29, 2009 at 7:32 PM
- shri ramesh sadasivam said...
Vanakkam. Konjam Busy- athaan vara mutiyala.
Thanks for your appreciation.
Krishna is beyond Karma. True. But while he takes an incarnation he subjects himself to Karma!. It is his play, but he plays by the rules. He doesn't keep the rules only for others.
A good ruler abides by the rules. Just because he is the law maker, he doesn't say these laws are not for me. He too abides by them. Thats is what Krishna is.Krishna is a genuine King. He doesn't have one law for the citizen and another law for himself.
He breaks the laws only while performing miracles. Other than those special instances, he always plays by the rules.
- July 29, 2009 at 9:40 PM
- Ayesha Parveen said...
Hi Ramesh!
That is what I have said all along: Krishna is beyond karma and so, what is perceived by mere jeevs to be a flaw in Him, is actually His Leela to convey a message.
Best wishes :)
- July 29, 2009 at 9:47 PM
- shri ramesh sadasivam said...
I think my statement, "He flaws and pays the price" has stirred up this converstation.
I tried to show Krishna in a more lovable perspective. When we say Krishna is almighty, he can do this, do that, people tend to ask, "What big almighty? Where was he when Tsunami came?"
Thats why I said, he participates in his creation. Like any of us. That is the point I am trying to make here. And, while participating he subjects himself to Karma. He binds himself and then he unbinds himself. He knows both sides. Not just theoretically, but also practically.
I never said that in the point of mere jeevs.
- July 29, 2009 at 10:48 PM
- shri ramesh sadasivam said...
I don't contradict your statement. But when you say he is beyond Karma, he becomes a little distant from us. When you say, he is beyond Karma but still he subjects himself to karma, he becomes more adorable isn't it? :)
