Coffee Filter Flowers
Mother's Day is right around the corner. It's time to pick out that perfect Mother's Day gift; a gift that will express how much you appreciate and adore her. I'm not sure if it is the spring season, or the desire to give Mom something beautiful, but the gift of flowers is a gift welcomed by thousands of mothers around the world on this holiday. Potted plants and fresh flowers are go-to staples, but if you want to give Mom a very special, floral arrangement then consider Coffee Filter Flowers. Coffee Filter Flowers give you the opportunity to create one of kind, beautiful flowers that will not wilt and that Mom can keep year round. Plus, these flowers will be created by you, and let's face it Mom has always loved showing off your artwork since you were little.
If you're planning a Mother's Day bunch these flowers would make great centerpieces and compliment your Coffee Champagne Cocktail you will be serving!
Materials needed:
- 1 box BUNN Coffee Filters
- Food coloring- Assortment of colors
- Bowl(s)
- Scissors
- Pipe Cleaners or Drinking straws
- Floral Tape or Masking Tape
Directions for making Coffee Filter Flowers:
- In the bowl, mix food coloring and water for the desired color you wish to dye your flowers. (We suggest doing multiple colors to make a colorful bouquet.)
- Next place filters in the food coloring and water mixture.
- Allow the filters to soak in the mixture. The longer you let them soak the darker the color you will achieve.
- Remove filters from the water.
- Remove excess water and dye by gentling squeezing.
- Lay filters flat. Allow the filters to completely dry.
- After the filters are completely dry, stack the different colors of to achieve the desired color combination you wish to have in a flower.
- Fold and cut the ends of the dyed filters into the shape you desire.
- Next, pinch the centers of the coffee filters in the middle of the flat bottom between your index finger and thumb. While pinching the middle of the filter, begin to fold all sides of the filter up until they all meet each together. The area of the filter you are pinching will become a point.
- Attach the pointed edge of the filters to a pipe cleaner or drinking straw using floral tape or masking tape. You've created a Coffee Filter Flower!
- Repeat this process to create a bouquet of flowers.
- For an extra touch, fill a clear vase with coffee beans and stick the Coffee Filter Flowers into the vase.

Please post all your lovely advice...
Please post all your lovely advice...
Rent a Hospital Grade pump! I was using the PIS and not having much success. I rented a Medela Symphony and it is wonderful. Even if you just rented one for a few months to build up your freezer supply!
Use a touch of olive oil to lube up the cone part where your nipple slides back and forth - good advice from my lactation consultant!
Power pump. 10 minutes pumping, 10 minute break, 10 minutes pumping, 10 minute break, 10 minutes pumping
Also, if concerned about supply if you are not already middle of the night pumping, set your alarm (if you need to) and pump every 3 hours for a week.
If the pump requires the mother to break the suction, it is because you are pumping too long apparently.
Are you pumping too long?
Most moms should limit pumping to no more than 20 minutes at a time. Pumping for very long periods is more likely to make your nipples tender. Shorter, more frequent pumping sessions do more to increase and maintain supply than longer, less-frequent ones anyway.
Keep a bottle of water handy and look at a picture of your baby. It's amazing what looking at a pic of baby will do for your let down.
If you have a manual pump, try storing it in the fridge. I pump throughout the day to increase my supply for when I start donating my breastmilk and since I don't get a ton at each pumping (except the morning pumping), I store my pump in the fridge. The cold suction actually feels great on my nipples and helps to reduce the slight pain I get when I pumped. Just a thought!
Mommy to Clara (2) and BW (5)
I had trouble with my Medela PIS getting water droplets in the tubing. I would wash the parts and let them air dry on the dish rack, but found that if I took a q-tip and wiped out the tiny crevices where the tubes attach at the back, it would decrease the water droplets going into the tubes (which mess up your suction and are a PAIN to dry out). Also buying a 2nd (or 3rd) set of valves, shields, etc. to use while your others are drying is a great idea if you are pumping several times a day.
I also had better luck with a hospital rental pump than the PIS.
Move the horns around a bit on your areola to be sure that you're stimulating and emptying all of the ducts.
I made myself a 'hands-free' nursing bra. I used a 'sport style' nursing bra, and cut slits in them for the horns to go in, that way I didn't need to hold them.
It was great for pumping at work - I just closed the door to my office and was able to continue to work. It helped with let-down as well as I wasn't sitting there holding the horns waiting for the milk. Like the saying goes - a watched pot never boils!
Hands free is the way to go :-)
I googled Hands Free Bustier and ordered one--best $30 I have ever spent!
I read somewhere if you suddenly have a decrease in amount when pumping, get new membranes for your pump (the little white circle things that go in the bottle part)....I guess they break down over time and can get tiny little tears in them that decrease suction.
Maggie (31), Mama to Mya (11/20/06) and Dash (8/4/08).
I have a question that no one, including my doc seems to answer with a clear answer. I keep getting all breast feeding or nothing speach. So I'm looking for a judgement free/real knowledge from someone out there that has gone through this.
I'm on my second pregnancy. I tried breast feeding my first child and it was a nightmare, I have inverted nibbles and needed to wear some plastic device, I cracked, I bled even though I used the cream. I ended up with post pardum and life was not fun for me for a while. I ended up going to formula and a bottle with her.
I do not want to go that route again, but do want my next child to have the benefits of breast milk. I would like to pump from day one not even attaching my next child to the breast. I know I'm going to get such a hard time from the nurses that I don't want to breast feed, but no one has walked in my shoes. Anyway, I just want to know if anyone has pumped from day one and fed by a bottle without ever attaching baby?
I did. I knew I was going back to work after 6 weeks plus my baby had some breathing problems and was not with me for the first 2 days. So I pumpped from the beginning. Don't feel bad! The most important thing is that your baby WILL get the breastmilk.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I want to go this route as well with number 2. I also had issues with flat nipples/cracking/pain with my DD and do NOT want to have to go through that again. My solution is going to be try to latch DS on at the hospital and pump and get him on a bottle as soon as i bring him home. I already got flak from one dr. because i said i just wanted to pump and rather than argue with every freakin nurse in the hospital i'll just do it my way!
I started out trying to BF but dd was readmitted to the hospital at 4 days with problems so I began to pump plus we were already having BFing issues. After 2 weeks of not being able to eat she was allowed to receive ebm. Well that's when the confusion began. In order for her to come home she had to eat x amount of ounces from a bottle x amount of times a day and the other times she could try to bf. So everytime we were going to bf I would call the LC to help over the course of 4 days and 2 LC's later it just wasn't working and she was having awful confusion with choking. When we got home I was going to pitch the bottle's and just do breast well before being released we were given a weight check day since she had already lost so much. The pedi told me basically if she didn't gain then they would have to discuss readmitting her for further watching to that scared me. I continued to pump and try the breast but in the end she had so much confusion that I exclusively pumped until she was 7 months when I had to have 2 surgeries. So yes 100% pumping can be done. It's not easy I would of much rather her of bf but she really didn't want to and fought me. So if it's what you want to do I say go for it!Originally Posted by cjsmom
This doesn't work for me. If it doesn't for you, stare at the pump and watch the milk flow. Will it to flow faster. It works for me, and maybe for you, too.Originally Posted by haydensmom
Also, get comfy. For different people, comfiness is different! I, for instance, find that spreading my legs and putting my head/pump parts down between my knees is the best position while others most likely feel differently.
Just find out what works for you and fly with it.
Bump! Pouring a glass of milk and leaving it out in view while you pump can also be helpful, for those who have difficulty thinking milky thoughts (visualization).
Watch Tv..have a snack and a bottle of water close by and invest in a electric pump.. and set up a pumping schedule.
What helped me was to watch the milk come out. Be amazed at what your body continues to do for your baby. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and feel the milk letdown as you exhale.
So, I guess I was meditating in a way.

Software for Structure Prediction
"As can be expected based on experience from previous Lasergene modules, DNASTAR has done a great job with Protean3D - NovaFold to create a user-friendly, intuitive interface for organizing and displaying protein structures. I particularly liked the automatic linking of sequence selections between the sequence, analysis and structure display panes and the drag-to-rotate feature in the structural display window."
"I recently had an opportunity to try NovaFold for several protein structure predictions. I was impressed by how well the predicted models fit my expectation. Visualization of the structures in Protean 3D is also beautiful and easy to work with. My ability to evaluate and modify the structures as necessary is made very easy in your software."
DNASTAR NovaFold is protein structure prediction software that is based on I-TASSER, the award-winning software package developed by Prof. Yang Zhang's laboratory at the University of Michigan. NovaFold utilizes the I-TASSER algorithms developed by Prof. Zhang that combine threading and ab initio folding technologies to build accurate, full 3D atomic models of proteins with previously unknown structures. NovaFold is available as an add-on to Protean 3D exclusively
Advantages of DNASTAR NovaFold include:
Hybrid Method of Prediction Technology - NovaFold uses a hybrid method of protein structure prediction which yields highly accurate
models. This approach first identifies structural fragments from multiple templates, and then builds the fragments of sequence not matching a template.
Seamless Integration with Protean 3D - NovaFold is accessible through the menus and panels within Protean 3D, making it simple to integrate structure prediction into existing protein analysis work.
Flexible Licensing - Select a term license which allows you to run NovaFold for a predefined period of time, or choose to pay per prediction.
In addition to offering DNASTAR NovaFold exclusively on the Amazon Cloud, our full suite of DNASTAR Lasergene software is now also available on the DNASTAR Cloud.

Dancing in a Music VideoSaturday, August 28th, 2010
Yeahh…don't know quite how that happened (and I'm not gonna leave the YouTube link, sorry guys). Reggie gave Saskia's number to Tic Tac, another hip life artist. Tic Tac asked Saskia to be in his video and bring along her friends. Come Tuesday, there we were at Rockstone's Office getting ready for filming (/waiting three hours for Tic Tac and the other artist Eze to show up).
They had a pretty slutty scene with a red car, but I didn't do that part. Saskia and I just did a couple dancing scenes that mostly took place in the Office. They begged Saskia to dance by the car. She refused but finally agreed to dance behind it. Some of the things the other girls in the video had to do, or thought they were supposed to do, were disgusting. Gyrating against the car, against the rappers; wearing belly shirts and tiny skirts. They told me and Saskia that we didn't have to do that. The final product of the video doesn't look that bad though, they didn't use the worst clips.
The whole thing was pretty low budget. I just wore the clothes and makeup I showed up in. I didn't even realize when I was about to go on set, and they hardly gave us any instruction. Now I know that a lot of the girls in hip-hop videos probably feel awkward while they're dancing in front of the camera, because honestly, the whole thing is really silly. It doesn't feel at all in person how it looks on screen. Saskia and I had no idea what we were doing most of the time, but it didn't really matter; the final product looks professional.
I feel a little bad for participating in a video that is so clearly sexist and materialistic. At first I was confused by the lyrics, "Materialism, materialism/shouldn't be the reason for the killing." I asked Eze, "If materialism is bad, why the big red car? Why do you flash a wad of bills?"
"We are against the materialism of the robber."
"But you're materialistic in the video, aren't you?"
"My materialism is okay. I have earned the money honestly."
I frowned. "But don't the lyrics say materialism is bad?"
"No, no, killing and robbing are bad, but money is good. We are saying, you want to have money like us, not like the robber."
"Don't you feel bad advocating materialism?" I said. "I mean, I know American rap videos are totally materialistic too, but in America we mostly at least pretend that materialism is wrong, even if we actually are materialistic."
"As long as you arrive at the money legally, it is okay, it is good," he said. "You should not steal or kill to get money, you should earn it honestly. Like me, by rapping."
I nodded and gave up.
The whole ordeal was tiring, but at times great and a little out of this world.
For instance, Eze showing up in a bright green suit and personally delivering us rice for dinner.
Or our new friend Cassie, who had a whole closet full of makeup, heels, and tight clothes stuffed into her bag that she couldn't wait to share, and who said we had to come visit her in Tema. She commented me on Facebook later, "Let's stay in touch, always."
Or a man named Green who tried to convince me to study the Bible with him on Sunday (I'm Jewish) and asked why I wasn't wearing a short dress like the other girls.
Or the two main girls from the video, Leona and Natasha, who could not get enough of me and Saskia. They would touch our hair, ask about America and Europe, and say, "Come here, baby." When Leona would try to talk to me, Natasha would say to her, "You're stealing my new best friend, baby." For the scene on the couch with the bad guy, Leona and Natasha were given blue twenty-cedi notes to rub down their dresses – which they tried their best to keep, but I don't think they succeeded.
Saskia and I weren't in the best mood by the time we left at 4:30 in the morning – and that was leaving early; the others stayed til 7. But it was certainly an experience, I can tell you that.

HSGP is a warm and welcoming community of humanists, atheists, agnostics, free-thinkers, and non-theists of all stripes. The group aims to enrich the lives of any who join us through explorations in science, philosophy, history, and the arts.
We are primarily an educational organization, providing bi-monthly lectures by experts in various fields; opportunities for intellectual discourse over books, arts, and specific discussion topics; and social events such as game nights, potlucks, and special celebrations through the year. Our members have diverse and passionate interests in topics such as separation of church and state, evolution, technology, and environmental issues.
We offer a community of secular minded people who want to spend time with like-minded individuals in a non-religious setting. Though we do not (yet) provide childcare at HSGP events, we do have a playroom and a family bathroom available, so parents are welcome to bring their children. Please consider joining us, for events that interest you, or as a member of our growing community.
About Humanism (from the American Humanist Association)
Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism and other supernatural beliefs, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.
The Humanist Society of Greater Phoenix meets twice a month (not quite the same as every other week) on Sunday mornings. Meetings are free and open to anyone who is interested in learning more about Humanism or the speaker's topic.
Doors open at 9:00 AM. We begin by enjoying the company of our fellow Humanists over coffee and breakfast. The program begins at 10:00 AM, when we share announcements and then hear from a guest speaker. Our post-lecture discussions usually end by 11:30, when we invite members and guests to participate in light clean-up chores.
We do not yet have childcare available for every meeting, but our center has a pleasant Kid's room, and members of the community often cooperate to maximize the number of adults who are able to attend the meeting.
At our regular Sunday meetings, breakfast is available for a donation of $5.00 or $1.00 for coffee only. Whether you are just coming to hear the speaker or wish to have coffee or breakfast as well, please check in at the welcome desk by the entrance door. Of course, other donations are always gratefully accepted.
Volunteer to help keep our Breakfast Program going. Find a slot that fits your schedule. Click on Breakfast Volunteer Schedule. To volunteer, send an email to email@example.com.
For your convenience, the membership desk is immediately behind the welcome desk at each Sunday meeting. Stop by to join or renew your membership in HSGP, or to update your records such as your email address.
The Humanist Society of Greater Phoenix is open to presentations on a variety of topics, many of which are controversial. Please note that the opinions expressed by our guest speakers do not necessarily reflect the viewpoint or philosophy of HSGP.
Our speakers' program and various discussion forums are open to all who want to keep their minds stimulated or wish to explore a topic of interest with other Humanists. We demonstrate the people-centric values of Humanism by being a positive influence in the community. We do this through our meetings and lectures (free to the public); community service, such as our support of Tumbleweed Center for Youth Development and the work they do for at-risk youth; and networking with students at campuses throughout Maricopa County to encourage debates and humanistic activities. We affiliate with other groups (including the Freedom from Religion Foundation and Secular Coalition for Arizona) that work to preserve separation of church and state and thereby protecting individual rights.
Our Membership is drawn from a cross section of the Greater Phoenix area. Members range in age from early 20s to 90+, with backgrounds from many professions and walks of life. The only requirement for membership is interest in the principles of Humanism. Participation can be limited to simply attending meetings, or becoming actively involved in projects.
HSGP is an educational non-profit organization. All dues and donations are deductible for income tax purposes.

BioShock 2 Officially Announced for Late 2009; Involvement of Creator Ken Levine ConfirmedPublisher Take-Two Interactive today officially confirmed that a sequel to 2K Boston and 2K Australia's underwater shooter BioShock will arrive during the company's fiscal fourth quarter in 2009.
Take-Two's fourth fiscal quarter runs from August through the end of October.
BioShock 2 is under development by the Novato, California-based studio 2K Marin. The new development house is rumored to consist of several former 2K Boston and 2K Australia employees.
The publisher also announced that BioShock creator Ken Levine will be involved in the development of the sequel, though his role on the project was not specified. Levine's home studio of 2K Boston is rumored to be working on a new X-COM title.
"[Ken Levine] is critical to BioShock," said a Take-Two representative.
No platforms were announced. The game will likely make an appearance on both Xbox 360 and PC, and comments made earlier in the year by 2K Games president Christopher Hartmann indicate the game could also be released on PlayStation 3.

Emergency management officials in Hamilton County want residents there to be prepared for possible flooding this weekend.
A Flood Watch goes into effect Friday evening for the area. Sandbags will be available in Noblesville beginning at 3 p.m.
Friday for residents in food-prone areas. The Indianapolis Department of Public works is also encouraging Marion County residents
to clear storm drains and drainage ditches to reduce the risk of flooding.
One man was killed and another left in serious condition after a gunfight Thursday night on the near-north side. Tyler Webster,
21, of Indianapolis was found dead in the driver's seat of a gold Chevrolet Impala in the 2800 block of North Harding
Street about 11 p.m. Kyle Lewis, 19, of Indianapolis was found in a nearby alley with gunshot wounds. A passenger in the Impala
was taken in for questioning by police.
Target Corp. says about 40 million credit and debit card accounts may be affected by a data breach at the start of the holiday
shopping season. The retailer said customers who made purchases with their cards in its U.S. stores between Nov. 27 and Dec.
15 may have had their accounts exposed. The breach did not affect online purchases, the company said. Target advised customers
to check their statements carefully for suspicious charges.
Authorities have identified a man fatally shot at his Indianapolis home Wednesday after he led police on a chase. Duane Slentz,
49, fled Brookside Park in a black Dodge after he was questioned by a park ranger who said he smelled like alcohol. He fled
to his home in the 3800 block of South Franklin Road, where he crashed into another car before locking himself in the house.
He was shot through the house by an officer who heard him cock his gun. Slentz was on probation for drunken driving.
One person was killed Thursday in Boone County in a crash involving a pickup and a semi. The collision happened just after
7 a.m. on State Road 47 east of State Road 39, north of Lebanon. State Road 47 was blocked after the incident.
Indianapolis Animal Care and Control confiscated more than 200 rabbits, three turtles and a goat Tuesday from a south-side homeowner. The woman, who lives in the 2100 block of Dudley Avenue, was breeding the rabbits in an unheated garage that authorities described as filthy and unhealthy. The goat was injured in an attack by a dog weeks ago. Many of the rabbits are pregnant. Animal rescue groups are helping IACC with the animals.
A Fishers man says he woke up to find a gun pointed at his head Tuesday morning. The homeowner, who lives on Adam Court near 106th Street and Lantern Road, called police about 2:40 a.m. after the two armed intruders left his home. It wasn't clear if they had taken anything or why they entered the home. The couple who live in the home left their garage door open and the door to the house unlocked. A few houses away, two cars were broken into and ransacked. Police set up a perimeter and used police dogs, but didn't find the men.
A 10-year-old Indianapolis girl died Tuesday after being struck by a car on the city's southwest side. Police say a driver heading west in a Mercedes in the 6800 block of West Thompson Road about 7:20 saw two children in the middle of the road and swerved to miss them, but couldn't avoid the girl. The speed limit in the area is 40 mph and the lighting is poor. The driver stopped at the scene and is cooperating with police.

G-Star Clothing - Getting that Industrial Feel
With the winter months fast approaching, fashion fans thoughts tend to turn to more heavyweight clothing and this is an adjective that can certainly be applied to the G-Star and G-Star Raw fashion lines which are surging in popularity across the UK.
It is fair to say that the fashion label, G-Star has their own inimitable sense of style and this is something that comes from years of dedication that has been placed in perfecting this predominantly denim clothing range. G-Star herald from the Netherlands and this is undoubtedly influence d their own particular design principles as they jeans, shirts, t-shirts and jackets really are quite unlike anything else available on the market today. G-Star, and in particular their G-Star Raw range, have a highly industrial feel which is ideal for the winter months and which has certainly being striking a chord with their legions of fans. G-Star has almost two decades of experience in the field of fashion and this is something that is clearly reflected in their designs whether this be in the form of G-Star T-shirts or their unparalleled denim line up. G-Star are really beginning to make their mark in the fashion world on a global scale and this is a phenomenon that is set to continue when they reveal their winter clothing range.
G-Star – A Broad Appeal
When of the most impressive aspects of the G-Star and G-Star Raw clothing range is the broad appeal that it has across a variety of demographics in the fashion world today. There are few labels out there, particularly denim labels, that are able to boast such a universal appeal as G-Star but this is an achievement that they have brought about by listening to their fans and constantly reinventing their style principles. G-Star started out by predominantly offering denim clothing but by expanding into the world of T-shirts, shoes and fashion accessories, G-Star have managed to increase their fan base substantially and introduce a whole new generation of fans to the G-Star clothing range.
G-Star – Knowing What You Like
Of course, it goes without saying, that fashion is purely a matter of personal taste and this is something that G-Star realises but don't compromise their design principles because of it. G-Star has immense confidence and bravado concerning their fashion line-up and given the resoundingly positive reception they have been receiving, it certainly looks as though G-Stars confidence is well founded.

I'm new to this forum - I just saw a posting about it in the Packer Forum. I was a prolific poster in JSOnline and the Green Bay Forum about 5 or 6 years ago, and I'm just now getting back into it. Posting about the Packers is fun; Posting about Politics is also fun - and not exactly welcome in the Packer Forum. I look forward to using the Back Alley section for that.
I'm 65 years old, born and raised in Wisconsin, got out of the army in Texas in 1979 and stayed there. I've been a Packer fan since before Vince Lombardi took over.

My name is Steve and I have been a Packers fan since 1974. I was born in 1965 and grew up in Chippewa Falls Wisconsin.
I wish I could say the Packers were always my favorite team but as a youngster growing up in a household where no one showed any organized sports allegiance I formed my opinions the way many kids do, I backed the winner of the first championship game I remember.
That game was Super Bowl following the Miami Dolphins perfect 1972 season so my favorite team became the Miami Dolphins. The next year, when the Dolphins returned to the big game it was only logical, since I liked the Dolphins, that I hated the Minnesota vikings (at least I got that part right right from the start.)
When Bart Starr was hired as head coach ( I still have my Fresh Start With Bart bumper sticker) I started to research this team called the Packers and found out they were from my home state. That was great now I had a local team to root for. Then I realized that my most hated team was from a neighboring state and that made it so much better. Then I realized that my most hated team was also a divisional rival and the game was on.
Since then I have been a full fledged Packers fan My first favorite players that I can really recall were Steve Odom and Ken Payne. I loved the Dickey to Lofton connection and I can still remember Howard Cosell comparing Paul Coffman favorably to Kellen Winslow the All World Tight End from the Chargers. Like many of you I followed the team steadfastly through the dark ages of the late 70's and the 80's, always optimistic and often disappointed. I was hopeful, as all Packers fans were, that Forrest really would set the pack on fire and that they truly would fly high with Lindy. Alas it was not to be. Then things slowly started to change for Packer fans throughout Packerland and indeed the world. A man by the name of Ron Wolf came in and good things began to happen.
Mike the first came in and so did a huge monster of a man known by packers fans everywhere simply as Reggie. It was the start of something big and I think everyone could sense it. For the first time the Pack really was back. I was at Lambeau field when a Future Hall of Famer named Brett Favre made his first start there and it was one of the most memorable times of my life (coincidentally I was also there when he made his last start there as a member of the hated purple gang from across the river and that was also a memorable time) I watched the Packers defeat the Patriots in superbowl XXXI on a small TV on a couch off by myself in a house full of people watching the game on a big TV (not a big screen just bigger than the one I was watching on) because I wanted to experience the event all Packers fans hope for on my own. I don't think I said 10 words to anyone that day and when it was over, after the initial cheers, there was no jumping up and down and screaming and clapping, there was just a bunch of heartfelt handshakes, slaps on the back, a hug or two here and there and more than a few tears of joy and a huge sense of pride.
The following year, after the final whistle sounded I rose from my seat at my brother's house, put on my shoes and coat and simply said "see ya later" and left. Nothing more was said. Nothing needed to be said. It was like a 180 degree turn from the feelings of a year earlier. Disappointment, not euphoria was the word of the day and the weeks that followed. Like all Packers fans though I got over it. It was not the end of the world and it was not the end of the Packers. I watched the Packers beat the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV all by myself (the alternative was to watch it with a bunch of Bears fans and after enduring their company two weeks earlier that was not going to happen.) from about the middle of the second quarter I don't think I sat down for more than 5 minutes and I think I wore a path in my carpet.
My carreer choice has made it so that I do not get to enjoy each and every Packer game live any more but I look forward to each and every one of them with the same fervor as ever. Well, some a little more than others perhaps but the fact remains that I am a Packers fan through and through. In the past few weeks I have been considering selling off some of my packers memorabilia collection as I could use the money and the vast commercialization of everything nowadays has made obtaining new pieces far less enjoyable than in the past. I don't have the money to scour eBay for the good vintage stuff anymore and the new stuff just screams "flush your money away." Just writing this short (trust me, if I spend any amount of time here you will consider this short) introduction has buoyed my spirits however. I don't think I will sell anything. It is all a part of my fandom. It has a place and it serves a purpose. It reminds me, not that I need reminding, every time that I walk into my apartment that I am a fan of the greatest sport franchise on the face of the earth. The Pack Will Be Back? In my heart they never left.
I have to go now and if anyone is still reading, thank you. It's time to get some work done but I will be back (I heard those groans)
Go Packers, Green & Gold Forever
I respect your right to have your opinion but that doesn't mean I agree with it or respect you for having it.

My name is Steve. Im 62 years old. Haved lived in Ohio all my life. I started watching the Packers in 1960 at the ripe old age of ten. I consider myself fortunate to have grown up rooting for the 60's Packers and to still be a fan of the real "Americas team". My first game at Lambeau was opening day 2007. I ended up going five times that year, including the Seahawks playoffs and the Giants championship games. What an awesome year! I met some great people there tailgating and have been fortunate to get tickets for about four games a year. I post tailgating pictures regularly on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal Packers page. You will usually see me in my stripped bibs in pics with tailgating fans. I actually have a couple hundred pics there. Its something I really like doing, photographing the tailgates at games. Im really happy to have sites like this to come to. Its fun to share our love for the Packers and to hash out our joys and frustrations as fans. I always learn from other peoples opinions. I feel blessed to be here. Go Pack!

My name is Thomas Reddy. I live in Las Vegas and write general interest and sports articles for Yahoo and other websites. I am a diehard fan of the NFL. Since I am originally from New York City, I am partial to the New York Jets but as a sports gambler I follow every team with great interest. I was asked to join the site and am happy I did. I always appreciate the opportunity to read everyone's opinions. It gives me a more refined ability to judge a season or a game and can be the difference to being on the right side of a spread or an over/under. Looking forward to some great conversation with other footballphiles.
My archive of articles can be found here, if anyone is curious how I see the start of the 2014 season. I do think the NFC North will be a very competitive division and the Pack will need to do better than 8-7-1 to make the playoffs this year. The Division is well balanced and anyone can win on any given Sunday.

SC Beekeeper Events are always open to the public. We encourage anyone to attend our events and local association all across South Carolina.
Our State events happen twice a year in the Spring and Summer. We invite top honeybee researchers and scientist in the United States to speak at these conferences. These and other Speakers bring the latest in beekeeping information and developments. Beekeeping Vendors from across the U.S. come to make beekeeping supplies available to all attendees.
Local associations have monthly meetings usually on first, second or third Thursday of each month. Please check out our
Local Associations Tab
for locations. At these meetings, you will find honey bee and beekeeping information that concern the local area. Also contact your local association for Basic Bee School Classes.
These local associations participate at a local level for honeybee education at Festivals and other public events. They begin their membership drives in the fall for the local and state membership. If you are looking for events in your area, there is a local association near you,

I literally sat and stared at these once I had them up. Literally. They are fantastic! I was a little worried about the quality because the price seemed so cheap for the product but it was all for nothing. I saw that some people had to put the crystals on and thank goodness mine came completely assembled. Just for that I'd give 5 stars!! :o) I have one in my entryway (which is on the smaller side) and another in my long hallway. They add just the right amount of fabulousness without being overbearing. They also put off fantastic light and sparkle, I couldn't be happier. ***If you want a more modern look go with the small round bulbs and not the candle flame looking ones. It makes a more definitive modern statement and I love the way they look with the chandeliers***
I bought this light fixture to go in my bedroom for a glam/ luxe look. when i first took it out of the box i was not very impressed it did look a bit cheap to me. when i finally got it up and turned on the light...i was like wow..even my husband likes it a lot. my 4 year old stared at it so long he fell over(he was spellbound)...mine did come fully assembled. the crystals are not good quality but with the quantity of them i guess you can afford to skimp on quality. it cast a beautiful shadow on the wall that looks like a huge peacock feather(like the little circles on their feathers) the crystals are hung by tiny hooks and where each crystal is on the fixture there is a tiny flower looking accent...so it looks like the crystals are hanging from little flowers.however that feature cannot at all be seen online not once you have it hung up. The installation was not too bad...very standard!
This is a beautiful light done in chrome with a diamond patterned shade and within each diamond hangs a small round crystal. The bottom is hard to see in the photo but it is a kind of a bulbous shape done in attached roundish crystals or glass. I know, my description makes it sound ugly but it's not ugly or gorgeous: it doesn't add to or detract from the light. The ceiling plate is chrome and is mainly smooth without any kind of engravings or scrolling, it has some minor ribbing that transitions from the ceiling plate to the pole. Amazingly packed: the box had a square metal rim running around the interior of the box to help protect the light from being bashed. Then the entire shade was lined in the interior with cardboard and then the whole thing was wrapped tightly with cellophone so that the crystals could not move and be damaged in transit: very impressive. Probably the best wrapped light I've seen. Came with the usual white gloves so you wouldn't smudge the crystals. When the light is on it casts a very pretty mottled shadow upon the ceiling, and if the sun hits it all the crystals cast a spectrum of light.
Fixture is a gorgeous statement maker. Using 65 watt bulbs provides excellent lighting and wonderful crystal shimmer. Installed fixture in my townhouse dining room. Since the townhouse has standard ceiling height, the drop distance from the ceiling is perfect. DOWNSIDE: it took two of us working for 3 hrs to wire individual crystal beads and wire to fixture. Be sure you want to spend that much time!!!! Very tedious!!!! I wonder what the fixture would have cost if all the crystals were factory installed?
The internal wiring is aluminium, this is an indication that this manufacturer cuts corners. The material is also very light, not that you would want a chandelier to be heavy. The Crystals are not actually crystal, they are made of glass. It is nice that they package quite a few extras in case you loose a few. Also, the crystal on the bottom is made of plastic and has a noticeable line from the molding process. This is the most unappealing portion of the chandelier. It is actually very easy to install and comes with extra parts to fit your homes needs. The chandelier itself looks beautiful. Even better than the picture. Even with the shortcomings in quality, the elegance at this price should earn it at least 4 stars.
looks better on picture too big i was expecting something different but its pretty
For the price, you couldn't go wrong for a well made product that not only matches the decor of my room, but also looks very classy and fancy. I recommend this product!! :)
Good chandelier for bedroom or hallway. Quality is okay for the price. Recommend to shop around in person first to get an idea of your preferred style.
I don't usually review my purchases but decided to for this piece because everyone should have something this beautiful in their home. The light was easy to hang and we had no issues. It is absolutely worth every penny...so feminine and pretty. i8 hung one on my bedroom and one in my daughters room and the play on walls from the crystals is so pretty and fun. I recommend this fixture for dining rooms that don't have high ceilings and bedrooms. It's just perfect, enjoy.
Bought this chandelier after reading the reviews so I feel I made an educated decision. The quality isn't the best, and the chrome smudges like crazy, but they include white gauze gloves so you can keep fingerprints to a minimum. Thankfully, the crystals came installed on mine so I didn't have to do that! The chandelier came packed very well in lots of styrofoam and was marked "House of Tiffany". The little flowers between the crystals are cute and it does come with extra crystals. Because this is a flush mount, it worked well in my 8 foot ceiling closet where I didn't have a lot of clearance. It greatly improved my lighting with the four 60 watt candelabra bulbs. It is just spectacular when lit. My only (Slight) negative is the ugly plastic crystal looking base of the light (looks like grapes??) - but I am going to get a chrome cap to replace it. Otherwise, I'm thrilled with this purchase and for what I paid for it, it's perfect. It makes my walk in closet look like a celebrity's!

I also made around 4 lbs of seitan, based on the recipe from Real Foods Daily. I omitted the oil and used bean cooking liquid instead. I have 1.5 lbs of it marinating in some jerk marinade. I will either bake it or grill it later on for dinner, depending on how lazy I am. Grilling is much messier, but would probably taste better. I promise to take a pic of that. I will be serving it with green beans, brown rice, sweet potatoes and a pineapple-habanero relish. I used 1 tbsp of sesame oil in the Jerk marinade.
I've been trying to bake lower calorie bread/buns for myself. It's a challenge to do so with whole grains, but I think I've found a winner. I have morphed several recipes and come up with this one. I've also used sprouted wheat instead of the oats with great success.
I also marinated some tempeh in Braggs, liquid smoke, garlic, pepper and ginger and baked it until it absorbed the marinade (I also used a cup or two of water, so it wouldn't be too salty. I cut an 8 oz portion of tempeh in half, then cut them in half, lengthwise. The tempeh pieces fit perfectly on my little buns, and 2 oz of tempeh seems like a lot when you cut it this way.
Here's my breakfast sandwich, consisting of the tempeh, homemade sprouts, homemade vegan mayo, ketchup, mustard, onions and tomato. 300 calories.
I am going to commit to blogging here at least 3 times a week. I miss it.
I have made some changes to my personal business website and I would love some feedback if you all wouldn't mind looking.

They are so cute, cuddly and utterly vulnerable. Polar bears grab the admiration and attention of people the world over for their fluffy white coats as well as huggable size. They garner respect from animal lovers for their hunting skill as well as survival tactics in one of the harshest environments on Planet. But regardless of their overwhelming attraction these giants are actually in threat of being actually wiped off Earth absolutely.
Ice melting should be actually a core focus of conservation efforts for the polar bear as this is actually impacting the polar bear the most. Polar bears depend on substantial stops of drifting ice to perform their daily exercises connected to enduring. Polar bears prey on fat-laden seals from these stops of ice, they mate, as well as some even deliver their cubs on them. The issue by having the ice melting is actually that lots of polar bears have actually gone hungry since there is actually not enough ice for them to hunt their prey. This alters their capability to reproduce and bring their cubs to term that directly impacts population numbers. Even, when ice is also far from land, polar bears are going to drown trying to swim a long way distances to find them. All of these elements have made the polar bear more land bound.
When polar bears are on land they are actually more probably to come face-to-face with a predator, folks. Occasionally folks hunt polar bears as trophies as well as additional people eradicate polar bears while defending themselves. People additional impact polar bears when companies construct facilities in their natural environment, thus modifying it irrevocably.
Who Is actually Helping, as well as Just how
Major contributors to the match to cut the Arctic Polar Bear provide the Coca-Cola Provider as well as the World Wildlife Fund. All together these businesses are raising money to analysis exactly what is actually inducing international temperature change as well as performing by having governmental agencies to oversee greenhouse gas discharges. More significant ventures provide energies to eliminate unfavorable mortal interactions providing poaching as well as extreme travel and leisure and defending critical environment spaces such as birthing dens.
Know-how is actually power. Come to be more informed regarding this essential subject matter by visiting Polar Bears at World Wild Life.

Hi Florida members!
Wanted to encourage anyone who can drive to the West Coast on June 17th to help us out with a fun and exciting fundraiser that has been locally planned and driven by one of our own hardworking, committed members - Alli Creek. See the link above which appears in the Events Calendar at the top of the Forum. Alli's email address and phone number appear in the link. If you are interested in helping her out (and she would love some extra help!!!) please contact her asap. It would be awesome to use this opportunity to gather and meet some of you ladies....and I know everyone is always looking for a way to help get involved in the PF more than just posting on the Forum. Here's your chance!
Hope to see many of you there!

Yesterday we had our 35 week appointment and the doctor told us that it's time to start weekly biophysical profiles (BPP). This is a test that measures the babies' development. When I was pregnant with Mia I was asked to do kick counts, but this time I can't do that because it's too hard to determine which baby is which with each movement. In an ultrasound they can see exactly which baby is moving, how much and what parts they're moving.
A BPP is a noninvasive ultrasound that determines babies' movement, breathing, muscle tone, heart rate, and amniotic fluid. Each of these areas is graded Normal or Abnormal. Normal is given a score of 2 and abnormal gets a 0 as long as the score 8-10 everything is considered fine. If the score is 6 or below they will determine if the babies need to be delivered early.
This test usually takes about an hour, but as Dr. Jamison said yesterday it all depends on how cooperative the babies are. The test won't work if the babies are sleeping so it's a good idea to eat something right before. It's also a good idea to go to the bathroom right before because it could take a long time and you don't want to be stuck on that table too long with a full bladder.
This ultrasound is similar to every other ultrasound it just focuses on other areas not as much on growth like my previous ultrasounds have been. I have to have these BPPs done every Friday from now until the babies come. I have my first one tomorrow I'll let you all know how it goes next week.
