            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1948587</link>
            <description>&lt;b&gt;Tea Leaf Pickers Required To Be Virgins &amp;amp; Have C-Cup Breasts&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Fauna on Friday, April 22, 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.chinasmack.com/2011/pictures/tea-leaf-pickers-required-to-be-virgins-have-c-cup-breasts.html' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.chinasmack.com/2011/pictures/te...up-breasts.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The special “tea willow basket” tool used by the C-cup virgin tea pickers revealed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;April 19th, the Henan province Gushi county West Jiuhua Shan scenic area revealed the specialized collection tool “tea willow basket” that its tea-leaf pickers use when picking Kou Chun Cha [literally, &amp;quot;Mouth Lip Tea&amp;quot;]. This tool is made from Xinyang’s famous weaved willow wood and is placed between the breasts during use, to receive the tender tea leaves that the female tea-leaf picker plucks with her mouth. Previously, the information published in the local recruitment ad for tea-leaf picking girls required that the girls have C-cup breasts and be virgins as well. After this information was released, it was reposted on various major discussion forums and caused a great deal of discussion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/2811/chinahenantealeafpicker.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/2811/chinahenantealeafpicker.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/2811/chinahenantealeafpicker.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/2811/chinahenantealeafpicker.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/2811/chinahenantealeafpicker.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <description>Someone requested me to send a 3kg parcel (tea) to US. I have never done this before, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Any suggestion which postage company gives the best rates?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Does the postage company provides box? or Do I have to buy? If yes, where to buy box?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Where to buy bubble wrapper?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Is there tax?</description>

            <title>High Fever - Febrile seizure</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1757032</link>
            <description>My son (16months) got fever yesterday morning and we gave him paracetamol (seems like his usual fever). And just 2 hours ago, when my wife feed him medication at about 1am, he was till ok. My wife then went down to clean up, and I can hear my son still talking to himself and then he climbed down bed himself. Walked around like normal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly he came to me and collapse in front of me and started to shiver. I thought he was playing with me. But then I noticed something was wrong. He was stiff and shivering all over. His eyes were looking up. Not responding to call. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went into shock. My wife too. Mother in law came and helped us. We tried to wake him up. The shivering and stiffness lasted about less than 5 minutes, but he is still very weak and not responding to us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We quickly pack and headed to hospital. The Medical Officer said most likely my baby is getting Fever Fit, but our baby has to admit to be monitored. The pediatric will come and see our baby in the morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Febrile_seizure' target='_blank'&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Febrile_seizure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am now back home to pack and then rush back again. The feeling that I just went through is so scary. I have never felt this scared before. God please help...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any of you guys have experience of such... please share...</description>

            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1729751</link>
            <description>When our baby first got into food, my mother in law used this recipe to cook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pork Meat (no fats) - just for the taste&lt;br /&gt;Brokoli/Spinach&lt;br /&gt;Pumpkin/Carrot/Potato&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She will mix the components and sometimes used all of it as 1 combo...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When baby is still small, she will grind all of it (except the meat)... Easier for baby to swallow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our baby likes it a lot... His daddy also likes to lick the leftover..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For dessert, Fruits such as Apple, Orange, Banana, Grapes, Kiwi</description>

            <title>How many did Amniocentesis?</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1703336</link>
            <description>&lt;b&gt;What is amniocentesis?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amniocentesis is a prenatal test that allows your healthcare practitioner to gather information about your baby&amp;#39;s health from a sample of your amniotic fluid. This is the fluid that surrounds your baby in the uterus.&lt;br /&gt;Inside pregnancy: Weeks 15 to 20&lt;br /&gt;A 3D animated look at a baby in the second trimester of pregnancy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most common reason to have an &amp;quot;amnio&amp;quot; is to determine whether a baby has certain genetic disorders or a chromosomal abnormality, such as Down syndrome. Amniocentesis (or another procedure, called chorionic villus sampling (CVS) can diagnose these problems in the womb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amniocentesis is usually done when a woman is between 15 and 20 weeks pregnant. Though all women should be offered the option of having an amnio, women who choose to have this test are primarily those at increased risk for genetic and chromosomal problems, in part because the test is invasive and carries a small risk of miscarriage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a few other reasons that amniocentesis may be done:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * To assess the maturity of your baby&amp;#39;s lungs when considering an early delivery for medical reasons (unless it&amp;#39;s clear the baby needs to be delivered immediately regardless of lung maturity&lt;br /&gt;    * To diagnose or rule out a uterine infection&lt;br /&gt;    * To check on the well-being of your baby if you have a blood sensitization, such as Rh sensitization. This is a complex condition that can occur if your blood is a different type than your baby&amp;#39;s. (Note: Obstetricians are increasingly using Doppler ultrasound for this purpose instead of amnio.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More: &lt;a href='http://www.babycenter.com/0_amniocentesis_327.bc' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.babycenter.com/0_amniocentesis_327.bc&lt;/a&gt;</description>
