The investigation began on Monday after 28- year-old inmate Steven Gonzales approached uniformed security officers at the unit to say he was having issues with his cell mate, officials said in a news release.
Gonzales further indicated that officers should go to the assigned cell.
A responding officer approached the cell and found the cell mate lying on the bottom bunk covered with a mattress. He was unresponsive, the release said.
Security and medical personnel initiated life-saving measures, and the victim was rushed to the infirmary on a gurney.
Emergency medical personnel arrived at the scene and pronounced the offender dead at 5:58 p.m.
TDCJ spokesman Jason Clark said Gonzales has been placed in administrative segregation.
The name of the victim was being withheld Tuesday until his family could be notified of the incident.
Gonzales was received by the TDCJ on Jan. 15, 2008, from Dallas County to serve a life sentence for murder.

Representatives of AirLife presented Ebrom with the award for EMS Person of the Year at their annual "Leaders in Emergency Care" recognition dinner Aug. 15.
"Casey Ebrom has assisted in the transition of Karnes County EMS by leading his crews headfirst into the surge of growth seen in their community by Eagle Ford Shale drilling activity," said an AirLIFE representative during the presentation. "With the support of his director and local county government, they have expanded their service and enhanced their team to elevate their availability and care to their community."
"Casey strives to provide high quality care and continued commitment to excellence."
"The purpose of this annual event is for the staff of AirLIFE to recognize individuals and agencies within our service area that demonstrate excellence in the provision of emergency healthcare, patient advocacy, and leadership in healthcare system development," said AirLIFE President and CEO Shawn Salter.
All of those recognized were chosen by AirLIFE flight nurses, flight paramedics and flight communicators based on interactions they had experienced with hospitals, EMS agencies and individuals in emergency medicine during the previous year.
Ebrom said he was very surprised and deeply honored to be recognized for his work, especially considering the AirLIFE service covers a very large part of South Texas where hundreds of EMS workers work with AirLIFE crews to make sure people get the highest quality of emergency healthcare.
His work with Karnes County EMS began in October of 2010 as an EMT, Ebrom said. He became a paramedic in February of 2013 and has been working for Karnes County EMS and helping improve the quality of local EMS services ever since.
"It has been a good experience here," Ebrom said. "It has been a good transition here, going full time. Essentially we can do everything that the ER can do now, with all the medications we can do that now in the truck. I am glad we have got that on board now."
He hopes to expand the outreach efforts of Karnes County EMS, Ebrom said, in the months and years to come, as a way to play a part in bringing the highest quality of healthcare to the people of Karnes County.
Ebrom is a resident of Karnes City, is a graduate of the Karnes City High School Class of 2010 and is the son of John and Geralyn Ebrom of Karnes City.

Report: Minnesota coach released from hospital
Kill expected to coach team at Wisconsin
Jerry Kill was released from the hospital Sunday, one day after the Minnesota Gophers coach was rushed there following a seizure in the team's locker room, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported.
Defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys told the Pioneer Press, "... it wouldn't surprise me" if Kill returned to his coaching duties Sunday afternoon. He is expected to coach the Gophers (4-2, 0-2 in Big Ten Conference play) on Saturday at Wisconsin.
"To him it's a big deal in the fact that he wishes it wasn't public," Claeys said. "It doesn't affect how we do things and how we prepare and all that. So that, without a doubt, is the most frustrating thing to him. Other people who have (seizures) don't have such a public job. A lot of people live with it and do their jobs. It just so happens that during the season, it's more public."
Kill has had a series of seizures during the past few seasons and has visited the Mayo Clinic because of the issue. Last season, he had suffered a seizure on the sideline during a loss to New Mexico State.
Saturday's seizure was minor, Claeys said, and all team meetings were on schedule. Players were told Sunday morning via text messages that the coach was released from the hospital.

Stanion to join Pictet after Barings exit
Percival Stanion, the head of the multi-asset group at Baring Asset Management, has agreed to join Pictet in a similar role alongside two former colleagues.
Stanion will join Pictet Asset Management in the coming months as head of multi-asset strategies, following his surprise decision to quit Barings last month.
Stanion will report to Olivier Ginguené, head of asset allocation and quantitative investments at Pictet. He will be joined by Andrew Cole and Shaniel Ramjee, who will also leave the multi-asset team at Barings after working their respective notice periods. Cole and Ramjee will assist Stanion, with all three based at Pictet's London office.
Pictet intends to launch a diversified growth fund for Stanion in the near future and produce further products over time.
Renaud de Planta, chief executive of Pictet Asset Management, said in a statement: "This hire demonstrates our determination to expand our existing multi-asset strategies for clients both in the UK, and elsewhere."
Stanion will also become vice chairman of asset management, excluding Switzerland, and will co-chair a strategy unit with Ginguené, working closely with chief strategist Luca Paolini.
Pictet Asset Management manages £92 billion and is part of Geneva-based private bank Pictet Group, which manages client assets totalling £266 billion. It has a separate investment business led by Yves Bonzon which serves its wealth division.
At Baring, Stanion manages the firm's £9 billion multi-asset fund. He has scored several strategy coups over years, including a warning that markets were facing a storm in June 2008, two months before Lehman Brothers went bust. Yves Bonzon warned in October 2008 that an avalanche was set to hit Europe, leaving peripheral economies badly exposed.
Following Stanion's departure, Marino Valensise will step down as chief investment officer at Barings to take over as head of multi-asset. Barings has hired Ken Lambden, previously global head of equities at Schroders, to replace Valensise.

The Isiah era will always forever be a tainted time in my life. I felt so free when he stopped coaching/gming this team...even though his dirty ass has connects with NYK.
Dolan is just stuck in being star struck. Zeke was a freak on the court and won chips, plus he has the respect of many ballers around, in and out of the league. He obviously has some purpose; just keep him away from the books. Hes a baller so naturally he can recognize talent but building a team is probably not in his cards. His management of money has hurt the team and damn near his legacy. Just keep him at a safe distance and let him do what he does best getting the respect of talented players and persuade them to become a Bocker.
The Isiah era will always forever be a tainted time in my life. I felt so free when he stopped coaching/gming this team...even though his dirty ass has connects with NYK.
The problem with Isiah is he knows talent, but Isiah is CLUELESS on what talent goes best together, and how to turn skillful talent players into team-players on the same-page .. this is how we know Isiah Thomas havnt departed from the Knicks organization.
Marbury/Crawful/Tim Thomas couldnt lace-up Ward/Houston/KVH sneakers on a bad day. Plus Jerome James/Curry/Jefferies/and Zach couldnt lace-up Motumbo/Doleac/K.Thomas/and a no show Mcdyess sneakers on their worst days.
Having 3 outstanding frontcourt players who performance in the NBA range as the league top-players at their position on any given night .. however on the Isiah/Dolan headcoachless Knicks the 3 outstanding frontcourt players stand "alone" as individual-players. Not team-players.
Isiah & Dolan are seperated but not divorce...
I just love me some Dolan and Thomas sexytime! I hope they go balls deep on center court and someone trips on the crusted remains of the love fluid.
Damn this is getting my balls all wound up!
Real Talk
Yahoo said Dolan offered Zeke a job but Zeke has reservations about coming back right now.
Dolan is certifiable, someone made the comparison to the Detroit Lions bringing back Matt Millen as the GM, which would never happen. Millen was an incompetent GM so was Isiah, how could Dolan possibly bring him back.
Methinks Dolan has never heard (or possibly didn't understand) Einsteins definition of insanity...
Either that or Dolan is both a peter puffer and insane!!!
WOW we insult Ewing with a D League offer and try to bring back Isiah in the same week!!!!
My Plea to Isiah
Seriously....we don't want you back Isiah....if you find the next Lebron James in 2nd round it would not be enough to wash away the bad feelings!
If you saved the lives of each and every Knicks fan's favorite family member you could not wash away the bad feelings!
You had your shot and failed in a major way! Give it up!!!!!
I have learned not to hate you ....provided you stay away from our team....I have spent the past 3 seasons cheering for FIU because I felt by building them into a winner it would keep you away from The Knicks....you failed there too....now looks like my biggest fear could come true.
My Plea to Dolan
You are the dumbest Billionare in the world....seriously this has to be true!
You don't care about the fans...and I don't want to care about you! And that's how it should be, see OKC fans don't talk about their owner and who the hell owns the Celtics,Spurs or Clippers? Owners are not suppossed to be figures...unless they know how to market themselves (Cuban and Ivan Drago) or really good at what they do (Jerry Buss) you do neither! Fade away...if you hate the media stop making moves that draws such negative attention!!!!
I hate the bashing we get in the media....yet because of you....we deserve it! Our team deserves to be the butt of all the corny NBA commentators jokes despite having some very smart men with integrity (Isiah has neither) in our front office!
Actually, we the fans do not deserve it, we pour time, energy and money (most important to you) into this team and will always do so....see a threat to become a Nets fan is an idol one because it is not possible for the real Knicks fans to ever leave this team....which sadly leaves us with the reality of dealing with you as a owner.
Speaking of The Nets....I would rather them win an NBA Title than having Isiah back....and honestly this is the majority feelings of fans!!!

putting it all in perspective:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
It doesn't really matter if James Dolan decides to rehire Isiah Thomas. We can whine and kvetch and wring dem hands, but the Knicks have already been Zeke'd. The owner can lunch with his former GM/Prez/coach/consultant all he wants, and Isiah can send out all manner of hints that makes it sound as if he has more important things to do besides get paid to do for Dolan what he's already doing for Dolan, and none of it means a damn thing. The Knicks are in far better shape, literally and figuratively, than they were with Isiah directly running the show; but this team is Isiah Thomas'. You know that. You better learn to be OK with that.
James Dolan runs MSG, and he runs the New York Knicks. And because he knows absolutely nothing about basketball, he leans on Isiah Thomas for insight. And because he knows nothing about basketball, he thinks that Isiah Thomas is the sort of guy to lean on for basketball insight. James Dolan has been more or less leaning on Isiah since 2003, with a slight back off from that stance from 2008 until February of 2011, and the Knicks have been consistently Knicks-y throughout. Always famous, always full of obvious headlines, always capped out.
This is all an apparent "thing" because respected MSG sports president Scott O'Neil resigned last week, and Dolan enjoyed what apparently was a delightful lunch with Isiah whilst guarded by an MSG security detail on Friday. The meeting was first reported by Marc Berman of the New York Post, and then on Sunday Frank Isola of the New York Daily News reported that there was "no doubt" Thomas would again be part of the paid Knick crew once a few off-court pursuits had sorted themselves out.
And there can be no doubt that the man's fingerprints are all over this team.
It's been that way since just before the 2011 trade deadline, when the Knicks shepherded a shepherd-load of assets to the Denver Nuggets for Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups. Anthony could have been had, along with some creative financing, the following offseason for a contract worth much less and anyone following the NBA and its impending lockout knew as much at the time but Isiah the Caddy decided to go for the green and the Knicks have been trying to make it work ever since. Former GM Donnie Walsh, now aware of his station, stepped back soon after.
Glen Grunwald jumped in his place, and late last season Mike Woodson took over Mike D'Antoni's head coaching spot. Both were former teammates of Isiah's in Indiana, and Grunwald once worked under Thomas with the Toronto Raptors. These things don't happen by accident, and it bears repeating that if Grunwald had any basketball sway over his bossiest of bosses, Jeremy Lin would still be a New York Knick.
Lin was O'Neil's guy. He championed him at the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference last spring, and reportedly wanted nothing to do with the re-hiring of Thomas (or the aborted attempt to re-hire Isiah as a consultant in August of 2010). Apparently just the idea of keeping Thomas around as an unpaid consultant was tolerable enough for O'Neil following that 2010 flirtation with official status, but the combined shock of losing Lin and Thomas' lingering presence was probably too much for the guy.
And too much Thomas is never enough for Dolan, though you get the feeling the Knicks are at a saturation point with Isiah.
Tyson Chandler and Amar'e Stoudemire are up front, this time, instead of Jerome James and Eddy Curry. It's Carmelo Anthony that is flinging 20-footers, not Jamal Crawford, and the ancient vets this time around are the well-respected Jason Kidd and Marcus Camby, instead of Jalen Rose and Antonio Davis. The Knicks might be capped out, Jeremy Lin might be in Houston, and the vaunted (and well-heeled) frontline of Chandler, Stoudemire and Anthony remains an uneasy fit; but on paper this squad is a significant presence even with Isiah's fingerprints still smudging a few corners.
This and the early September blahs that tend to mark every NBA offseason are why Knick fans greeted the Thomas/Dolan meeting with a collective shrug over the weekend. The Knicks don't have many pieces to move, no cap space to waste, no exceptions to toss at those who deserve half as much. The damage, both good and bad, has been done; and even if that chemistry never comes about a healthy Knick team should be expected to eclipse 50 wins.
Myriad factors, most involving the much-needed rebuild that Donnie Walsh helped usher in back in 2008, went into this; but Isiah (both in drafting one of the assets since sent to Denver) and strange instances of good timing (better players on the market than existed under Isiah's reign, Stoudemire's injury which helped the team's defensive emergence, if not resurgence, under Woodson) also played a part. There's no doubt that most Knicks fans are worried about this name-heavy roster, but the Knicks are in a better place right now, and there's not much left for Isiah and by extension, Dolan to screw up.
We think. They've surprised us before.
Just don't act surprised when it's officially announced, via press release and not press conference. Isiah's been lurking all along; the only eventual difference is that he'll have a place in the payroll, and in your game program.
my suspicions are being confirmed. the smart guy in the Knicks org quits because he can't stand Dolan inserting his rich boy d*ck where it don't belong (getting rid of Lin, re-hiring Zeke). stupid stupid too much money he didn't earn stupid. Papa Dolan, please rein in your a$$hole son before he runs this organization into the ground. little Jimmy will forever be a stain on this prestigious New York sports team. a damn shame.
Tiger.... this is the racist BULL-SH.. I dont like from our veteran members .. the Knicks super-star Carmelo Anthony who raise ticket prices sky high did not want a Black Billups, a Black Balkman, a Black Fields, a Black Douglas, and a Asian Jeremy Lin on the Knicks got his superstar status wish. Plus the way Carmelo Anthony called the shots lastseason it looks like Melo dont want a Black Amare on the Knicks either.
As a Denver Nuggets Carmelo Anthony did not want the strong-leadership of the number #1 draft pick Kenyon Martin on the Nuggets team, plus the Nuggets were offered Ron Artest twice in a trade by the Pacers & Kings but Nuggets refuse to accept the trade b/c Melo didnt want a dominating Ron Artest callin shots on his Nuggets team.
Lets get this right ....
Dolan didnt hire Donnie Walsh .. Isiah Thomas hired Donnie Walsh as the Knicks GM as a debt owed, and paid in full.
Recall: Pacers GM Donnie Walsh hired CBA destroyer, ex-Raptor owner Isiah Thomas as the headcoach of the Indiana Pacers ....
Dolan hired celebrity coach Damnphony .. the sameway Dolan hired HOF media coach Larry Brown .. I dont recall owner Dolan ever Firing Isiah Thomas .. owner Dolan did FIRE Chekkett, Grunfield, Layden, and Walsh.

Hiwan Golf Club
Evergreen, Colo.
August 10-13, 2004
WEIR, OâBRYANT, LEE AND HEDGE ANYTHING BUT ROCKY IN COLORADO
Colorado native Tait shoots personal low at Hiwan for three-shot lead
EVERGREEN, Colo. â On a day dampened by periodic rain showers and two stoppages of play totaling one hour and fifty-one minutes, Colorado natives Tyler Weir of Boulder and Shaun OâBryant of Colorado Springs along with Richard Lee of Vancouver, British Columbia, and Josh Hedge of Billings, Mont., fired even-par 70s to earn a four-way share of the lead after the first round of the Transamerica Junior at Hiwan. In the Girls Division, Ashley Tait of Littleton, Colo., finished her first-round with a 1-over-par 71, good enough for a three-shot lead heading into Thursday.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Transamerica Junior at Hiwan features 98 players, 72 boys and 26 girls, ages 13-18 from 20 states and Canada. Thirty-one juniors call the host state of Colorado home. The 54-hole stroke play event returns to the over 7,000-foot elevation Hiwan Golf Club for a second year.
Despite unusually chilly morning temperatures dipping into the fourties, Weir and OâBryant were able to complete their rounds before the delays began. Weir couldnât have asked for a better start to his round, making birdie on four of his first five holes. He credited his putting experience for the early success on Hiwanâs traditionally fast and unyielding greens.
âI like tough greens because Iâve played on them my entire life,â the 15-year-old Weir said, who carded five birdies on the day. âI made a 15-foot birdie putt after almost holing out for eagle on No. 1, and I sank a 30-foot birdie on No. 3. I was just trying to make pars, but I started making every putt I hit.â
OâBryant also found the stroke with his putter, needing only 13 putts to finish his 1-under-par 34 on the front-nine.
âI didnât put myself in a position where I couldnât make par,â the rising senior said. âThese greens are tough and I made some good up-and-downs when I needed to.â
After a win in his first AJGA eventâthe Nike Golf Junior at Las Crucesâthe 13-year-old Lee continued his strong play by carding 3 birdies on the day en route to a 36-34â70.
âI think if I take more time on my shots tomorrow that I can go low again,â Lee said. âI hit a lot of approach shots into the middle of the green, and hopefully I can hit some more good shots tomorrow.â
Hedge, who finished tied for 15th place in last yearâs Transamerica Junior at Hiwan, hopes to continue his solid performance after a first-round 70.
âEvery shot is demanding and if you donât hit it right, you can get penalized,â the 18-year-old rising senior said. âThis is the toughest course Iâve ever played, but I love it.â Tied for fifth place at two shots back of the leaders are U.S. Junior Amateur Champion Sihwan Kim of Fullerton, Calif., Jesse Lee of South Pasadena, Calif., and John Wisner III of Tucson, Ariz. All shot first-round 2-over-par 72s.
Taitâs sensational 71 is seven shots better than her best round at the 2003 Transamerica Junior at Hiwan where she finished in second place. Her round included birdies on Nos. 1, 12, and 16.
âMy short game was really on today. I only missed one putt within 10 feet,â the 17-year-old Tait said. âI need to improve on my lag puttingâI left myself a lot of five footers that I was fortunate enough to make.â
Alone in second place three shots back of the leader is Amanda Martinez of San Antonio. Martinez started her day with birdies on Nos. 1 and 3 en route to her 34-40â74. Stephanie Johns of Ashland, Ore., sits alone in third at 76.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA has a membership of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.
Titleist, the AJGAâs National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Associationâs success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, a supporter of the AJGA since 1983, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004.
The second round of the Transamerica Junior at Hiwan will begin Thursday morning at 7 a.m. off the No. 1 tee. For more information about the Transamerica Junior at Hiwan, please contact tournament headquarters at (303) 674-3369, ext. 328,.

Hard to win with Felton-Amare playing this way. But, if Chandler starts and gets his 20... We had a chance to win this.
I hope Gallo is dealt no matter what come trade deadline. This is the only way to prevent Dantoni from starting him and playing him 40 minutes. We get no points from our SG-SF combo.

Living conditions and volunteer lifestyles in Madagascar
|Living conditions and volunteer lifestyles in [[{{#explode:Living conditions and volunteer lifestyles in Madagascar| |6}} {{#explode:Living conditions and volunteer lifestyles in Madagascar| |7}} {{#explode:Living conditions and volunteer lifestyles in Madagascar| |8}}]]
|As a Peace Corps Volunteers, you will have to adapt to conditions that may be dramatically different than you have ever experienced and modify lifestyle practices that you now take for granted. Even the most basic practices— talking, eating, using the bathroom, and sleeping — may take significantly different forms in the context of the host country. If you successfully adapt and integrate, you will in return be rewarded with a deep understanding of a new culture, the establishment of new and potentially lifelong relationships, and a profound sense of humanity.

Few countries in the world offer the level of mail service considered normal in the United States. If you expect U.S. standards of mail service, you will be in for some frustration. Mail takes a minimum of two to three weeks to arrive in Madagascar. Some mail may simply not arrive (fortunately this is not a frequent occurrence, but it does happen). Advise your family and friends to number their letters and to include "Airmail" and "Par Avion" on their envelopes. Packages take six to nine weeks by airmail and about six months by surface mail. If someone is sending you a package, it is a good idea to keep it small and to use a padded envelope; that way it will be treated as a letter.
Despite these delays, we encourage you to write to your family regularly and to number your letters. Family and friends typically become worried when they do not hear from you, so it is a good idea to advise them that mail service is sporadic and that they should not worry if they do not receive your letters regularly.xxxxxxxxx
Volunteers in Madagascar may receive packages but are responsible for all duty fees, which may be imposed on food and cosmetics and are based on the items' value. Also be aware that packages containing valuable items may occasionally get lost or held up.
Your address during training will be:
"Your Name", PCT Peace Corps
Corps de la Paix
Poste Zoom Ankorondrano
101 Antananarivo
Once you have become a Volunteer, you will receive your mail directly at your assigned site.
You will not have routine access to a telephone during training, although the training site does have telephones for emergency use. While international phone service is available in major cities, it is very expensive. Calling cards (such as those available from MCI, Sprint, and AT&T) do not work in Madagascar. So while calling the United States is possible, it can be a frustrating experience, and if you are calling from outside a major city, it will take longer to get a line. Writing letters is the best method of regular communication with family and friends.
Few Volunteers have phones in their houses although many are now buying personal cellphones so family and friends can call them. But, many of the Volunteer sites do not have cellphone service so these can only be used when the Volunteers go to a larger town.
Computer, Internet, and E-mail Access
Few Volunteer homes have electricity, so bringing a personal computer to Madagascar is not recommended. Computers are available for use by Volunteers at the Peace Corps office. Although some of the major cities have Internet cafes, it is best to assume that, at best, you will have only limited access to the Internet and e-mail.
The staff at your post in Madagascar would like to request that you set up a unique email address to use during your Peace Corps service. You can leave this address with all friends and family before you leave. And having the email address that we request will greatly facilitate communication with you once you are at your site.
Please set up an email account at yahoo.com that looks like this: firstname.lastname@example.com. So, for example, if your name in Samson Thomas, your e-mail address would be: email@example.com. We appreciate your assistance in helping us communicate with you!
Housing and Site Location
Volunteers are posted throughout the country. Housing conditions here vary from mud houses with thatched roofs to modern cement houses with running water and electricity. Your project, the area of the country, and the availability of housing all have a role in the type of home you will have. Many Volunteers have only a pit toilet and a thatched shed for taking bucket showers. Environmental Volunteers tend to live in more remote areas (near the national parks and protected areas), while education and health Volunteers generally live in areas of greater population density.
During training, you will live with and have most of your meals with a host family. A homestay is considered one of the most important aspects of the training program and is required for this period. Trainees generally stay in a village with three or four other trainees and one or two staff members. Volunteers often form strong and lasting friendships with their host families.
Living Allowance and Money Management
As a Volunteer, you will receive a modest living allowance that will allow you to live on a par with your colleagues and co-workers. The amount of the allowance is based on regular surveys of Volunteers and the cost of living in Madagascar. The living allowance is usually deposited quarterly, in local currency, in Volunteers' bank accounts, so an ability to manage funds wisely is important. The allowance is currently equivalent to approximately $128 per month. In addition, you receive a monthly travel allowance.
You will also receive a leave allowance of $24 per month, which is standard across all Peace Corps countries and paid in local currency along with your living allowance.
Volunteers suggest you bring cash and credit cards for vacation travel. The amount depends on the amount of traveling you plan to do while serving in Madagascar. Some local banks offer ATM cards, but only for local accounts. Only a few Malagasy establishments accept credit cards, so they are mostly useful for travel to other countries.
The local currency is the Malagasy ariary (MGA). The current exchange rate is approximately 2,150 ariary to the dollar.
Food and Diet
The staple food in Madagascar is rice, which is eaten with vegetables, beans, or meat. Many fruits and vegetables grow in Madagascar, and with a little creativity one can enjoy a varied diet. Most Volunteers prepare their own food. Some, after becoming more familiar with their site, hire someone to help with household work, including cooking. Meat and dairy products are available in the larger towns, but they can be expensive.
If you are a vegetarian, you will be able to eat well in Madagascar after you learn about local foods and their preparation. Some Malagasy are not familiar with vegetarianism and will not be prepared to serve a vegetarian meal if you are a guest in their home. However, a sensitive explanation of your preferences will be accepted. Most vegetarian Volunteers have no difficulty after an initial adjustment period.
Volunteers' primary mode of transport is public buses and taxi brousses (small vans usually loaded with people and goods). Buses and minibuses travel among towns on irregular schedules (i.e., when full), so travel in Madagascar is never a timed affair.
Many Volunteers use mountain bikes. If you plan to ride a bicycle, wearing a helmet is required, and we ask that you bring one with you from the United States. If you do not have one when you come, Peace Corps will provide you a helmet, but it will likely be one that was used by former Volunteers. The Peace Corps issues men's bikes to Volunteers, which can be difficult for a woman in a skirt to ride. Many female Volunteers wear shorts under their skirts to solve this problem. Volunteers are not allowed to drive or operate motor vehicles or motorcycles (two- or three-wheeled) in Madagascar.
Geography and Climate
Madagascar is south of the equator, so its seasons will be the opposite of what you are accustomed to. At the winter solstice, for example, when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn, the weather is warm. Conversely, at the time of the summer solstice in June, the weather is cool.
Madagascar has a tropical climate with rainy and dry seasons. During the rainy season (November to March), southwest tradewinds drop their moisture on the eastern mountain slopes and blow hot and dry in the west. North and northwest monsoon air currents bring heavy rains in summer, decreasing as one moves southward, so that, for example, the rainfall in Fort Dauphin is half that in Tamatave. During February and March, eastern Madagascar can be hit by cyclones, which may impact other areas, particularly in the north. The dry season runs from April to October.
Seasonal changes in temperature in Madagascar are also influenced by altitude and latitude. From December to April, the coastal regions are very hot and dry in the west but very hot and wet in the east. Average midday temperatures in the dry season are 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30°C) on the coast.
From December to April (summer), the central plateau is warm, with periods of rain. In June, July, and August (winter), the central plateau gets very chilly, while the west coast is warm and dry and the east coast is warm with occasional showers.
Social Activities
There are several radio stations in Madagascar, some of which play popular music. Many Volunteers bring shortwave radios so they can listen to international broadcasts (BBC, Voice of America, Radio Nederlands, etc.). Madagascar has no cinemas.
The most common form of entertainment is socializing with friends and neighbors. Music is very important to the Malagasy, and singing together can be a lot of fun. While Volunteers are encouraged to remain at their sites to develop relationships with people in their community, the Peace Corps recognizes that occasional trips to the capital or to visit friends are also a necessity. Vacation time is allotted for non-work-related and approved absences from one's site.
Professionalism, Dress, and Behavior
One of the challenges all Peace Corps Volunteers have is attempting to fit into the local culture and act like a professional while at the same time maintaining one's own cultural identity. It is not an easy thing to resolve, and we can only provide you with guidelines. You will be working as a representative of a government ministry and will be expected to dress and behave accordingly, whether you are in training, traveling, or on the job. While some of your counterparts may dress in seemingly worn or shabby clothes, this is undoubtedly due to economics rather than choice. The likelihood is that they are wearing their best. A foreigner who wears ragged, unmended clothing, however, is likely to be considered an affront.
Malagasy regard one's dress as an expression of one's respect for others. Neatness of appearance is valued more than being stylish. Unfortunately, just one inappropriately dressed Volunteer could cause a Malagasy host agency to form a negative opinion about the Peace Corps and share it with other officials at national and regional meetings. Volunteers are therefore expected to dress appropriately to avoid jeopardizing the credibility of the entire program.
Following are Peace Corps/Madagascar's guidelines for Volunteers' dress. (They have been formalized in response to advice from people in Madagascar and other countries where the Peace Corps works and are meant to inform, not to offend.)
- Women's dresses and skirts should fall to or below the knees.
- Men and women should wear shorts only at home, when exercising, or when doing work for which Malagasy counterparts are also wearing shorts. If shorts are worn in public, they should be of walking length for both men and women.
- Hair should be clean and combed. Men's hair should not be longer than shirt-collar length, and beards should be neatly trimmed.
- Men should not wear a hat indoors.
- Flip-flops should not be worn as professional footwear.
- Female Volunteers should wear appropriate undergarments, including bras and slips.
- Excessive body piercing or tattoos should not be visible.
Personal Safety
More detailed information about the Peace Corps' approach to safety is contained in the Health Care and Safety chapter, but it is an important issue and cannot be overemphasized. As stated in the Volunteer Handbook, becoming a Peace Corps Volunteer entails certain safety risks. Living and traveling in an unfamiliar environment (oftentimes alone), having a limited understanding of local language and culture, and being perceived as well-off are some of the factors that can put a Volunteer at risk. Many Volunteers experience varying degrees of unwanted attention and harassment. Petty thefts and burglaries are not uncommon, and incidents of physical and sexual assault do occur, although most Madagascar Volunteers complete their two years of service without personal security incidents. The Peace Corps has established procedures and policies designed to help you reduce your risks and enhance your safety and security. These procedures and policies, in addition to safety training, will be provided once you arrive in Madagascar. At the same time, you are expected to take responsibility for your safety and well-being.
Rewards and Frustrations
Although the potential for job satisfaction is very high, like all Volunteers, you will encounter numerous frustrations.
Perceptions of time are very different from those in America. The lack of basic infrastructure can become tiring. Host agencies do not always provide expected support in a timely manner. The Malagasy generally perceive Americans as very rich. Adapting to a new culture as a Peace Corps Volunteer is often described as an intense series of emotional peaks and valleys.
As a Volunteer, you will be given a great deal of responsibility and independence in your work—perhaps more than in any other job you will ever have. Often you will need to motivate yourself and others with little guidance. You might work for months with little visible impact and without receiving feedback on your work. Development is a slow process. You must possess the self-confidence, patience, and vision to continue working toward long-term goals without seeing immediate results.
The AIDS pandemic strikes across all social strata in many Peace Corps countries. The loss of teachers has crippled education systems, while illness and disability drains family income and forces governments and donors to redirect limited resources from other priorities. The fear and uncertainty AIDS causes has led to increased domestic violence and stigmatizing of people living with HIV/AIDS, isolating them from friends and family and cutting them off from economic opportunities.
As a Peace Corps Volunteer, you will confront these issues on a very personal level. It is important to be aware of the high emotional toll that disease, death, and violence can have on Volunteers. As you strive to integrate into your community, you will develop relationships with local people who might die during your service. Because of the AIDS pandemic, some Volunteers will be regularly meeting with HIV positive people and working with training staff, office staff and host family members living with AIDS. Volunteers need to prepare themselves to embrace these relationships in a sensitive and positive manner. Likewise, malaria and malnutrition, motor vehicle accidents and other unintentional injuries, domestic violence and corporal punishment are problems a Volunteer may confront. You will need to anticipate these situations and utilize supportive resources available throughout your training and service to maintain your own emotional strength, so that you can continue to be of service to your community.
To overcome these difficulties, you will need maturity, flexibility, open-mindedness, and resourcefulness. Judging by the experience of former Volunteers, the peaks are well worth the difficult times, and most Volunteers leave Madagascar feeling they have gained much more than they sacrificed during their service. If you are able to make the commitment to integrate into your community and work hard, your service could be a truly life-altering experience.

This was supposed to be a year the Big Ten went airborne.
Seven of the top 10 passing quarterbacks from 2011 were back, as were nine of the 12 primary starters under center.
Blame it on injuries, on graduation losses, on hybrid signal-callers or parity, but the Big Ten isn't flying all that high.
More conference teams rank in the bottom 25 in the nation in passing than the top 50. And that won't change much once league play begins.

Gears of War 3 has been delayed until Fall 2011. Why beat around the bush? The news sucks, especially considering how good Gears 3 has been looking over our last few visits. What was once to be a roaring April has now gone out like a lamb; wasn't that supposed to happen to March?
According to an official statement released by a Microsoft spokesperson about the fate of Gears 3, it's merely a business decision:
"Gears of War 3 promises to be the biggest entertainment launch of 2011. The teams at Microsoft Game Studios and Epic Games have done great work thus far readying the title for release in the Spring of 2011. However, we've elected to move the launch of Gears of War 3 until Fall 2011 to make it the marquee title for the holiday season."
So, what does this mean for next year? And what does Epic have to say about this?
Well, we heard from Rod Fergusson, Executive Producer on Gears of War 3, who helped put to rest any conspiracy theories:
"I know fans are going to be disappointed with the new release date, but rest assured that this is a business decision between partners, and not a quality issue. Gears 3 was on track to be the most polished Gears of War game ever when it released in April, and this additional time allows us to polish it that much more before it hits shelves next fall. Next week we have a major multiplayer press visit at Epic HQ, and I'm really looking forward to the fans getting to see and hear about Gears 3 Versus multiplayer for the first time. Lots more exciting news to come."
Bummer! We've barely started the 2010 holiday season, and already our eyes are on the end of 2011. If GOW3 is the marquee title for the holiday season, does that mean the yearly Halo ride seemingly comes to a close? What other Microsoft titles will they have to entice Xbox fans?
With big games like Rage and the next Call of Duty dated for the end of next year already, it's already looking pretty epic. Now, with the addition of Gears of War 3, it's just getting ugly! Even worse, we're a year away from finding out what happens to Carmine?! Oh the humanity!

Not the time for reckless funding change for dialysisMarch 14,2013As everyone knows, the U.S. Congress is in a budget-cutting mood. The creators and overseers of our inflated federal budget have seen the error of their ways, and now they are getting serious about budget reduction. They are determined to cut the fat where it is least needed: kidney dialysis.
Wait a minute, some people (myself included) might say. Kidney dialysis the cleaning of blood for people whose kidneys are no longer up to the job is a life-saver. With the kidney-killing disease of diabetes on the rise nationally, and with long waiting lists for organ transplants and no mechanical kidney looming on the medical horizon, it is perhaps more necessary than ever. Dialysis has been a federally-funded Medicare program for many years, but now some in Congress want to whittle down its cost. Cost-control is of course important, but as we in Vermont are discovering, changing the health care system must make the patients needs a first priority. For them and sooner or later you and I will be one of them such changes are potentially a matter of life and death. For our sakes, Congress cannot afford to act now and fix unwanted problems later.
In brief, here is whats happening in the corridors and committee rooms of Congress, as reported in the Jan. 19 New York Times. The battleground, for the moment, is the cost of dialysis-related medications called, End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) drugs, which help the sickliest patients. Two years ago, the U.S. General Accounting Office warned Congress that they should act carefully in setting compensation levels. As an aide to a U.S. senator told the Times, sometimes when you try to do too much, and too quickly, you screw up. Nevertheless some in Congress are trying to overturn a well-needed two-year period of merging the funding of these medications into the entire bundle of dialysis funding. Unfortunately, if Congress were to not follow the recommendations of the GAO report and bundle a special group of life-saving medicines, patient access to them would be jeopardized. Federal lawmakers did the right thing by including a provision in the fiscal cliff bill temporarily extending the current way that Medicare Part D covers certain medications while other major changes are being made to the way Medicare pays for dialysis care.
If this all sounds like inside baseball well, it is. Even in the Vermont Statehouse, it was often hard for me, as a member of the House of Representatives, to determine, much less describe, all of the powerful moves, countermoves, and forces behind health care reform. Over the years I found that the best way to judge the rightness or wrongness of an issue was to judge, as best as I could, who in the real world would be helped and who would be hurt.
In this case, it is the estimated 388 Vermont dialysis patients themselves who are most at risk. Dialysis is a land of limbo. For some it is a way of staying alive while doing ones time on the transplant list. For others, it is the only way to avoid death by kidney failure. Vermont, to its credit, has developed a top-line system of dialysis centers, where skilled specialist technicians and doctors develop ongoing relationships with their patients, most of whom must visit for several hours about three times a week. While I support intelligent healthcare cost-saving, charging ahead with wholesale changes in dialysis treatment is hardly the place to start. Congress including our lone Congressman, Peter Welch must take a deep breath and use the prescribed waiting period and move carefully, thus ensuring the high quality of this vital program.

One of our advent calendar activities was to write a letter to Santa. I thought this would be fun since this is the first year my son can really write all of the alphabet by himself. I had to help him with the spelling, but I was so proud of him for writing it out himself. I knew he wouldn't be able to write an entire letter so I created a fill in form that he could write in the important parts himself.
I created some new versions in 2012 of the printable letter to Santa for you to download: Printable Letters to Santa
And I am offering this printable Letter to Santa for you to use with your child!

My son worked really hard to write his letter.
Here is his finished letter.
Our local post office has a special mail box for Santa letters. My son was really excited to drop it off!
Does your child write a letter to Santa each year? I would love to see it!

Laurier Inspires
Three projects approved for Lauriers Presidents Innovation Seed Fund
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Dec 10/09
The Presidents Innovation Seed Fund committee has approved three projects that will help generate revenue and increase the number of services Laurier provides.
The $200,000 fund was established to support positive, forward-thinking initiatives that have the potential to produce new revenue and/or reduce the universitys operating costs.
Each of the approved initiatives clearly increases Lauriers capacity to achieve its goals, said Steve Farlow, chair of the funds implementation committee. At the start of the fund in September, the committee was hoping for proposals that could leverage our existing resources, and we are thrilled that the Laurier community is rising to the challenge.
While several proposals submitted for the current round of funding are still being considered, the committee has approved funds for three initiatives:
Laurier English as a Second Language (ESL) Program
Submitted by David McGuire, manager of international student recruitment
This initiative will introduce ESL programming to Laurier, providing a new source of revenue for the university as Laurier currently refers all students who need ESL training to other institutions. The Laurier ESL program will complement existing ESL offerings in the region, and aims to increase the number of international students that Laurier recruits. The program will initially be offered at the Brantford campus and will benefit from the campus integration with the downtown core, providing students with constant opportunities to practice their language skills in everyday settings. The program will start in September 2010.
Submitted by Julie Pong, academic advisor
This program will aim to increase student retention rates by proactively assisting first-year Faculty of Arts students who are struggling academically. Fourth-year students who have overcome similar difficulties will counsel groups on study skills and goal setting. If successful, BOOST will increase student retention rates and retain revenue that would otherwise be lost, while increasing the academic achievement of Laurier students. It can be readily expanded to other faculties if needed. The pilot program will begin in January 2010.
Brantford Advanced Summer Acceleration Program (ASAP)
Submitted jointly by Holly Cox, manager of Brantford recruitment and registrarial services, and Len Friesen, associate professor
ASAPs purpose is to increase the number of college transfer students recruited by Laurier Brantford. The program provides a continuous course of study, and is specifically designed for international students, as continuous study eliminates problems they might otherwise encounter with their student visas. This program has the potential to be further leveraged by Laurier as Ontario colleges continue to expand transfer agreements with universities and an increasing number of college students seek university degrees. ASAP is expected to begin in Spring 2010.
The committee is extremely pleased with these projects, as they each surpass the basic fund criteria by addressing multiple institutional objectives, said Farlow. They can be expanded to other faculties and campuses, and they also have the potential to build linkages within and between faculties and campuses.
For example, Laurier Brantford will be collaborating with the Faculty of Social Work on the delivery of diversity training in preparation for the arrival and integration of new international students.
All three projects showcase creativity, innovation and collaboration, said Laurier president Dr. Max Blouw. I am very pleased that the Waterloo, Brantford and Kitchener campuses have a role in the approved projects and will benefit from the funds provided.
The Presidents Innovation Fund continues to seek ideas large and small to generate new revenue and reduce operating costs. If you are interested in submitting an initiative, visit www.wlu.ca/innovationfund for more information, or contact the fund committee at email@example.com.

Last Thursday at 5:30 p.m., approximately 40 friends and neighbors joined the Habitat for Humanity Board of Directors, Clovis Mayor Gayla Brumfield and our newest prospective homeowner, Sonia Dunlap, to hold a short groundbreaking ceremony at 2100 West Manana Blvd. in Clovis.
After a short opening prayer, Brumfield spoke regarding the need for affordable housing in the city of Clovis, and of her support for the mission of Habitat for Humanity. Dunlap was too overcome with gratitude to speak, and expressed her sense of overwhelming gladness quietly.
Brumfield and Dunlap were joined by Pastor Scott Seymour of Trinity Methodist Church and Habitat Board Directors Melveta Walker and Gary Rhode in turning over several shovelfuls of dirt to complete the ceremony.
Clovis churches plan to be a big part of this next build. Along with Seymour, we were joined by Pastor Bonita Knox of Trinity Lutheran Church and Rev. Alan McAlister of Central Baptist Church, members of the Clovis Ministerial Alliance.
Habitat members are excited to see the commitment expressed by these representatives. As a nondenominational faith-based organization, church support is vital to the success of our mission.
We plan to have booths at both of the upcoming county fairs this year, and we'll be looking for help staffing those booths.

Hi there!
My 2nd son is 5 weeks old and I'm going to go back to teaching soon. I'll be part time for about 3 weeks, which is nice because summer break is coming right up. But those few days away from home is going to be bad on the BFing. I'd like to keep it up at least through the summer - if I can get through those couple of weeks.
I wasn't able to BF with my first for more than 6 weeks - BAD thrush. So I've made it that far at least.
1. How does one start pumping? I did this morning after the first feeding and I think it wrecked the rest of the day. He wanted the breast all day and yesterday he was fine with every few hours. I want to build up a stash not only for work, but when I leave for 2 nights at the end of May.
2. When I am back at work, I won't be able to pump for long periods of time. I teach from 7:30am until 12, so I could pump between 12 and 1. Then I teach the rest of the day until 4:30. So can I make it on one pumping per day?
3. If those work days wreck my supply, can I take BFing back up during the summer after my school is out?

John Rice grew up on a farm. He knows his way around a chicken coop and has handled hay, hogs and cattle on a daily basis. From an early age he was taught the conventional forms of farming. He used pesticides to clear out unwanted brush, a local neighbor to process meat and vaccinations to assist an ailing animal. Rice knew how to operate the system and in 1988 he relied on those familial skills to help him along after purchasing 197 acres around his house in Tebbetts, Mo.
But after 30 years of conventional farming, Rice, then 47-years old and working for the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), was looking for a new way to turn a profit on his small acreage operation.
"I started looking into organic farming in 2002 and was certified organic by the USDA in 2005," Rice said. "The idea came about after my wife, Julie, was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. We did some research and read about the health benefits of organic food. At the time, Julie and I were looking for a way to increase profits on our small farm. By getting into the organic niche, we thought we'd have a chance to do well."
John was forced to relearn the skills necessary for farming before beginning the three-year process to become organic certified. No longer could he use commercial fertilizer or herbicides. Instead, organic manure was used and more work had to be done by hand. Rice also had to spend long hours working with his local veterinarian obtaining official documents that detailed what went into certain vaccinations, therefore clearing the way for use on his organic-raised animals.
In addition to work on the land and with the animals, the paperwork increased.
"Julie does all of our bookkeeping," Rice said with a smile. "She's really good at that stuff and it's important to stay on top of it for the annual certification inspection. The organic certifier wants to see a paper trail regarding what's been taking place on the farm. Julie is able to provide all of that detailed information, from when an animal was born, the lot it was assigned, any vaccinations it's been given and who it was finally sold to. Having that all on hand makes the certification process that much easier."
"It's a more labor intensive way of farming for sure," Rice said. "But, its added considerable value to our product and we think the extra work is worth it."
The Rices, recognized around the state as JJR Family Farms, started in the world of organics with eggs.
"Eggs are an easy way to start out in organics," Rice said. "We were able to build regular customers by selling at the local Columbia Farmer's Market, and we expanded our products from there."
In the six years since becoming certified, JJR Farms has expanded and now sells organic products such as meat and eggs, to retail markets in Columbia and Kansas City.
"I enjoy meeting the people that we're selling to," Rice said. "These individuals are looking for an honest producer who plays by the rules and we like to think we fit that bill."
Selling at the Columbia Farmer's Market has been really good for us. We get direct feedback from our buyers and we can adjust what we're doing accordingly. Whether it's changing the looks of our packaging or staying on top of what the popular food item is right now, we get a lot of benefits from talking with people one-on-one."
Rice says bacon and pork chops are the most popular item right now while beef moves a little slower.
"Currently, we have about 30 fat hogs," Rice said. "We sell about 100 a year. We also have about 50 head of cattle. Around 20 of those will be sold at the sale barn and 15-to-18 will be sold at the market. We also have around 400 laying hens, so we collect the eggs from them. Unfortunately, there's not an organic certified poultry processor around here so we're not able to sell the chickens as organic at this time."
Before Rice can sell his certified organic meat, he has to have his hogs and cattle butchered at an organic certified processor 251 miles away.
"I drive out to Eureka, Ill., once every other month," Rice said. "There's an organic certified processor out there that we like to work with. They make sure that everything from the spices used in our organic Italian pork sausage to the proper labeling of the product are certified organic."
Since becoming certified organic, Rice has worked with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to add fencing and watering systems to his land.
"We started working with John in 2009," Josh Stewart, NRCS resource conservationist said. "Since then, we've provided financial and technical assistance to help John install five water tanks, 8,100 feet of pipeline and 7,000 feet of cross-fence on his land. Currently, he has an Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) contract with us. Not a lot of people know that NRCS has some great opportunities available for organic farmers."
We're always happy to help people find ways to improve conservation efforts on their land, organic farmers or conventional."
Rice, now in his sixth year as an organic certified producer, plans to dedicate even more time to his organic operation after he retires from MoDOT.
"I've really enjoyed working in organics," Rice said. "I never thought I'd be able to hit the streets and beat on people's doors to market an organic product. But I've met a lot of really nice people and built some great relationships with folks interested in our product.
"It takes three years to transition into a certified organic operation, but it was worth the wait. We enjoy providing our customers with chemical, antibiotic and hormone-free food that is raised to meet the husbandry standards of the Animal Welfare Approved organization."
Individuals interested in making the transition to an organic operation can find more information on the USDA website, or by contacting an NRCS office serving your county. Look in the phone book under U.S. Government, Department of Agriculture, or click here.

Zombies are EVERYWHERE!! Wait, don't panic- we mean in pop culture, not outside your window. But why is that?
Bad guys and monsters seem to go through phases: one decade there's a dozen movies about aliens, ten years later it's vampires. And right now, it's zombies. And monsters don't pop up for no reason at all. There must be something that makes us fixate on one antagonist trope; some qualities they hold that echo a deeper cultural fear… So what are we afraid of now? It might just be technology. Watch the episode and find out!

Surrounded by lawns with mature trees, and grounds leading directly into the Royal Forest of Dean – an ancient woodland and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – seven properties, two of which we feature here, enjoy the perfect setting for a relaxing break, whatever the season. The properties are spacious, comfortable and cosily heated and they share an attractive courtyard setting with a number of other properties. As well as being a haven for wildlife and home to the Cannop Valley and Nags Head RSPB reserves, the historic Royal Forest of Dean is crisscrossed by nature trails and cycleways – superb for walking and mountain biking. And this glorious forest area offers so much for visitors of every age to do. Outdoor pursuits can be enjoyed at one of the many activity centres, there is a famous sculpture trail to follow and craft centres to explore, and both the fascinating Clearwell Caves and Forest Steam Railway Centre are close by. Among the myriad of exhilarating activities to be found within about 20 minutes' drive of the cottages are quad biking, a climbing tower, high trees rope adventure, and canoeing on the River Wye at Symond's Yat. There is also a sports hall that can be hired at £15 per hour (summer only), with a badminton court, table tennis table and table football (equipment can also be hired if required). Magnificent Tintern Abbey, the thrill of horse racing at Chepstow and cinema at Coleford are all just a short drive. Visitors can enjoy wonderful days out exploring Gloucester, with its cathedral and historic docks area, the Malvern Hills and the beautiful Wye Valley as well as the picturesque villages and quaint market towns of the Cotswolds, which are also within easy reach. Golf, riding and fishing are all found locally and the delightful little town of Lydney, with its good shops and leisure centre, is just 3 miles. Village shop and pub 0.5 miles.

Animals are being robbed! But this duo won't take it lying down. Watch as one loveable alligator and one feisty rabbit confront the fashion victims who stole their skins in "Stolen for Fashion," featuring the voices of Pink and Ricky Gervais!
I pledge not to steal, wear, or buy the skin of any animal. I will choose cruelty-free fashions instead.
Heads up: By signing up here and giving us your details, you're acknowledging that you've read and agreed to our privacy policy.
Animals on fur farms are often killed with gas, electrocution, or poison, or their necks are broken. These methods are not 100 percent effective, and some animals "wake up" while being skinned.
Snakes and lizards are often skinned alive because some people believe that live-flaying makes leather more supple. Ouch!
Animals on fur factory farms are fed meat byproducts that are considered unfit for human consumption.
In addition to causing the suffering and deaths of millions of animals each year, the production of wool, fur, and leather contributes to climate change, land devastation, pollution, and water contamination.
Project Runway's Tim Gunn exposes fashion cruelty. Watch his video and then—as Tim would say—make your cruelty-free fashion work!

I generally always breastfeed with pillows, my boppy when I'm at home, or borrowed pillows when I'm at family's homes.
My problem is that I absolutely SUCK at anything that doesn't involve a boppy! I can't do it with no pillows at all, not without being supremely uncomfortable. I usually wind up slinging the baby around, frustrating her, and if I do manage to get her latched properly, I'm uncomfortable as hell and she keeps popping off. That's not very conducive to nursing in public, something I Want to be be able to do (with a capital W!).
My question is how do you do it without pillows? Can anyone direct me to a good set of pictures that SHOW me the proper positioning? I just don't think I'm doing it right.

Hi there!
I am under Windows 7 x64 and Opera 12.14 32bit, I can not use "Import" every time I do SP6 hangs (better say everything) and the only easy way out is by pressing CTR+ALT+DEL and log off/log in again.
Any ideas, Please?
