The Peace Corps established a program in Guyana in 1966. From 1966 until 1971, more than 160 Volunteers served in Guyana. In March of 1995, the Peace Corps officially reopened a joint Peace Corps Office for Suriname and Guyana. During 1997, Peace Corps/Guyana and Peace Corps/ Suriname split to form two separate programs.
Peace Corps History
Main article: History of the Peace Corps in Guyana
The Peace Corps first received a formal invitation from Guyana in 1966, the year of the country's independence. From 1966 until 1971, more than 160 Volunteers served in Guyana with the Peace Corps. At that time, education Volunteers broadened the school curricula to include technical and vocational subjects, including home economics, crafts, and manual arts. Technicians, architects, and engineers also assisted in developing and carrying out plans of Guyana's Ministry of Works and Hydraulics. The Guyana program was discontinued in 1971, after the government of Guyana requested all overseas voluntary agencies to leave.
In 1993, the Guyanese government, led by President Cheddi Jagan, approached the Peace Corps about the prospects for the Peace Corps to reopen its program in Guyana. In March 1995, the Peace Corps officially reopened a joint Peace Corps office for Suriname and Guyana. The first Volunteers arrived in 1995, serving in the areas of community health and youth development. In 1997, Peace Corps/Guyana and Peace Corps/ Suriname split to form two separate programs. Approximately 30 Volunteers arrive each year to work in the community health project and the education and community development project (which includes information technology). In total, more than 380 Volunteers have served in Guyana with the Peace Corps.
Volunteers serve at sites ranging from the capital city of Georgetown, with a population of 300,000, to small, remote villages with populations fewer than 300. They are affiliated with a variety of schools, nongovernmental agencies, and government health facilities. The work of Peace Corps Volunteers in Guyana is well-received by the people of the communities in which they serve.
Living Conditions and Volunteer Lifestyle
Main article: Living conditions and volunteer lifestyles in Guyana
During pre-service training and the first three months of Volunteer service you will live with a Guyanese family. Most homes have electricity and indoor plumbing, and many have televisions and telephones.
Living with a host family allows for your integration into the community and helps ensure that you live safely and securely in the community. Following pre-service training and your first three months of service, Volunteers have three housing options: continue living with a Guyanese family; living in an independent house/flat connected to a family's house; and living in a separate house that is part of a family's compound. The Peace Corps strongly prefers that Volunteers live with a Guyanese family in their house or compound as a first option.
In order to encourage integration into the Guyanese culture and to minimize American presence in an area, no more than two Volunteers may live in the same house except in unusual circumstances. Exceptions to this arrangement must be approved by the country director. All Volunteer housing must be scrutinized by the Peace Corps' medical officer and safety and security officer and be approved by the program director.
Houses in Guyana typically are constructed from wood or cement block and have two to three rooms. Most towns have running water and intermittent electricity. Rivers serve as a main water supply source in many villages.
Main article: Training in Guyana
You will participate in eight weeks of pre-service training, which will take place primarily in communities outside of Georgetown. Training will focus on four interrelated components—cross-cultural understanding, technical training, health, and safety/security issues. Pre-service training also includes opportunities for continuous assessment, by both trainees and training staff, of trainees' progress in cultural adjustment and adoption of technical skills.
Most of your training—Mondays through Wednesdays—will be done in the villages that serve as training sites. Currently, these sites are on the east bank of Demerara and roughly a half-hour ride by public transport to the city. On a weekly or biweekly basis, trainees will have sessions in Georgetown, giving them the opportunity to become familiar with the city.
A large portion of training deals with broad aspects of cross-cultural understanding, adaptation, and the role of Peace Corps Volunteers in development. This part of training is common to all Volunteers regardless of your technical project. To be effective on the job and have a personally satisfying service, it helps to become less of an outsider to the Guyanese. Trainers will work with you—individually and in groups—to help you adapt to the new culture and be ready for your eventual assignment.
You will also learn to understand Guyanese Creole, or Creolese. The training staff will help you identify words and phrases heard in everyday conversations. You will practice Creolese idioms and gestures and learn the common proverbs and folktales that enrich Creolese communications.
Health Care and Safety
Main article: Health care and safety in Guyana
The Peace Corps' highest priority is maintaining the good health and safety of every Volunteer. Peace Corps' medical programs emphasize the preventive, rather than the curative, approach to disease. The Peace Corps in Guyana maintains a clinic with one full-time medical officer dedicated to Volunteers' primary healthcare needs. Additional medical services are provided by referral to in-country consultants. Testing and basic treatment are also available in Guyana at local, American-standard hospitals. If you become seriously ill, you will be transported to a medical facility in either Panama or the United States.
Diversity and Cross-Cultural Issues
Main article: Diversity and cross-cultural issues in Guyana
In Guyana, as in other Peace Corps host countries, Volunteers' behavior, lifestyle, background, and beliefs are judged in a cultural context very different from their own. Certain personal perspectives or characteristics commonly accepted in the United States may be quite uncommon, unacceptable, or even repressed in Guyana.
Outside of Guyana's capital, residents of rural communities have had relatively little direct exposure to other cultures, races, religions, and lifestyles. What people view as typical American behavior or norms may be a misconception, such as the belief that all Americans are rich and have blond hair and blue eyes. The people of Guyana are justly known for their generous hospitality to foreigners; however, members of the community in which you will live may display a range of reactions to cultural differences that you present.

Packing List
Main article: Packing list for Guyana
This list has been compiled by Volunteers serving in Guyana and is based on their experience. Use it as an informal guide in making your own list, bearing in mind that experience is individual. There is no perfect list! You obviously cannot bring everything we mention, so consider those items that make the most sense to you personally and professionally. You can always have things sent to you later. As you decide what to bring, keep in mind that you have an 80-pound weight restriction on baggage. And remember, you can get almost everything you need in Guyana (with the exception of clothes in big and tall sizes).
You are likely to be either teaching in a school or working as an educator in a health center or NGO, so keep that in mind when choosing appropriate professional clothing to bring. The climate is another consideration when packing. We recommend cotton or linen clothing for comfort, but synthetic materials or blends may be easier to wash and they maintain their shape better, especially during travel. Since clothing is generally washed by hand in Guyana, often with a scrub brush, clothing can wear out faster than normal and durability is important. There are a few dry cleaners in Guyana, but they are expensive. Avoid bringing items that are susceptible to mildew and mold (e.g., suede shoes).

The bags don't look very strong & I would be worried about tears. Plus, they are sealed with twist ties so they have to be upright & I try to store flat! If anyone has used them & has an opinion let me know!

And just when I thought self-weaning was a myth! I was out of town Thursday and Friday, back home Friday night to put my 4.5 yo twins to bed. When DS2 went to nurse, he took a sip, then, to my shock--he's the most mommy-milk addicted creature I can imagine--he looked up at me and said, "I don't like mommy milk anymore." !! "And [DS1] doesn't either." DS2 proceeded to nurse some, and then when I told him he doesn't have to drink it if he doesn't like it he stopped. DS1 took a sip and said he didn't like it any more either.
I was wondering if this would stick the next morning. DS2 came running into my bedroom as usual "I want mommy milk!" After taking a sip, though, he said again, "I don't like mommy milk anymore." DS1 asked if he could have a little more, took a sip, and confirmed he still didn't like it either.
I just needed to share with some women who would understand my mixed feelings about this. I'm glad, because I do feel that it's time, and I really wanted it to be self-directed. And we still cuddle when they would otherwise nurse, which I generally enjoy more. But I'm sad, too, particularly because it was so sudden and without warning. I didn't know that the last time I nursed them would be THE last time I nursed them!

When we play G-State, and he's not put on the charity strike, like he was against the Kings, hopefully we prove we can outscore our opponents without the refs' help.
Yes, and all the D'Antoni haters will wish they never doubted him.
Yes, of course.
His game also causes major problems for any team when he can blend in his slashing prowess, like u said. His moves in traffic are creative and wily and can be surprisingly fluid.
Imagine when his shot even reverts halfway back to normal and he can drop that, all while teams have to fear games like last nite just as much as him catch n shooting 20pts in a Q.
When we play G-State, and he's not put on the charity strike, like he was against the Kings, hopefully we prove we can outscore our opponents without the refs' help.

Stick to playing pokemon kid...lol
Gallo has one decent game and I give him his props, that has nothing to do with the **** worshipers on here. I can analyze the games myself, k thx.
I'd love to see this level of enthusiasm when your Gallo goes through another slump. Don't be mad at me because i have destroyed you and others lately on here. Victims include Team Suckbury, WarriorsfanSince2010 and you kid. The best part is when a group of you battered bitches get together after being knocked the eff out and claim victory. Your like Bush with a Mission Accomplished Banner,
your words don't mean $hit... they make my job easier...lol
Now if you want to talk basketball I'm all for that, Problem is a lot of people on this site are sensitive and cant handle being wrong. Thats why even Metrotard has an ounce of my respect because hes a "leader" and his own man. He can tone it down and extend an olive branch.
The rest of you lost followers are fickle little snots. Metro is an athlete a boxer even... your some azn kid with a squirtle tattoo. So let me talk to you in terms you ca understand. Gallo is softer than a level 1 Jigglypuff. Get back in your Pokeball until Ash chooses you lest you want to get smoked by a level 99 Charizard .
One thread your on jimmchief meat and attacking metrocard now your on metrocard's meat attacking other posters.
you already been swagged on damn you like bitch the way you fiend for attention.
Knicks 2012
When Gallo slumps? Fool. I was administering the same beatdowns to you then, too.
It's like your rapists looked like Stephon Marbury and Gallo and now you can't shake a rationale opinion on either, or anything associated with them. Sadly, that means most things Knicks present and recent past.
Jigglypuff? Pokeball? Level 99 Charizard? Squirtle?
****. You already lost this game called life, now you cant help but lose it in KO too it seems.
You lose the right to talk about being wrong when that's all you've been. Hearing you still attempt to talk about Gallo carries as much weight as a pip-squeek rodent trying to tell the exterminator which tool he should use to finish him off.
It's asinine, weak, and will result in self-destruction either way.
You've been finished off. Basketball sense? Talent judge? Athletic knowledge? All fails. When you couldn't stand the basketball truth and heat, and started up that Jack Russell Terrior act of yours people started putting you in your place while you bled all over the forum.
You're getting real sore so I'll ease up. And maybe take KingStarbury's wisdom into account: a damn fool who cant help but embarrass himself, the forum, and the Knicks should just be ignored.
And nice read on calling me Asian. Another fail in your long list of it..I'm white and Russian. Come to any of the NY gyms I've fought out of and some truth will get dropped on that perpetually wrong mind of yours.
You defend three point shots and Gallo's chucking of them. I basically had to beat a dead horse in stating the obvious to your brain dead ass... Three pointers are a trap. The Chicago Bulls game was a false revelation as we were shooting 3's at an unsustainable rate. After winning 2 we dropped 6 games in a row because of our 3 point shooting thats a fact...
Then you start talking about Gallo like hes an All-Star in a slump or something.. I even made some counter points to his defense, with observations like D'Antoni misusing him, Gallo being overrated and unfairly being pressured by Media, idiot Fans and D'Antoni to be something hes not. Even Gallo said he does not feel he has what it takes to be a star....lol But go on keep ignoring facts cuz they undermine your argument, you wouldn't be the first...LOL
As an Italian I want Gallo to do well, which is why calling me a hater is silly, but unlike you when i am wrong i don't ignore the facts when they prove me wrong. At one point we were debating Chris Paul v Deron Williams here about 2 years ago. I was Deron Williams all the way and looking back at it I would probably say i was wrong as I now feel Chris Paul is a decisively better guard (He accomplishes more with less then Deron). My point is we all make mistakes, what separates posters like myself and you is that you can't get over your mistakes and face reality. GALLO sucks right now, you cannot defend that period. Denver don't want him, fans don't want him, scouts don't care for him. Now that may all change but right now Gallo is more responsible for the 8 losses then he is the 4 wins. If you cannot see that, your just a homer. The only hater on here is you and the other Gallo apologists...
And I'm sorry if your username and weak posts would suggest come clueless insecure azn fan behind them, you just project that way...

first quarter...wtf?
rest of game... excellent play by all; knicks stopped shooting stupid crazy 3's,
put the ball on the floor, drove to the basket, and got it together.
Note: 33-39 at free throw line / 6-15 from three
gallipini played one of best games of his career, getting to free throw line more than he shot threes, a major accomplishment.
stud outperforming everyone on court, awesomeness personified.
tuffiaf solid and smart, even with bad pinkie.
who called mrs. fields a smart cookie? good one! he's a keeper for sure, getting better all the time!
chandler - another excellent game, blocking, driving, swooping and hooping.
feltip feelin it, feedin it, nice game all around, love his teardrop.
and our ace in the hole? tony chill douglas, finally having a good game,
i believe he is the difference maker.
amazingly, Dalembarf was hardly a factor, only 1 bound and 0 points.
Ty-reak is a freak, a great player.
Carl Landry, a force of nature. if Landry Fields married him, he'd be Landry Landry!!
ps: why is anybody dissing Clyde Frazier? i don't get it, he's one of the few reasons I listen to the entire game, to hear his knowledgeable commentary. the greatest knick of all time, the consummate team player, a believer in defense being the key to winning championships.
cheers to all.

Thank you. I am going to continue nursing her for all of the reasons cited above and because I know it's what's best for our famly.
I'm sensitive and the doctors have been wearing me down but I've got to toughen up!
In all actuality, I've got to wonder about a pediatrician that is advising me to stop nursing. DD has a terrible, mysterious rash, I need the best medical experts, I don't need someone whose research and education is so dated that she isn't even familiar with the benefits of extended breastfeeding.
I am going to the library and I'm checking out those books. Thank you for the support and advice. It is greatly appreciated. I will keep you posted.
So far, the doctors are all stumped as to what is causing the rash.

The Wisconsin Department of Justice has obtained a judgment in an environmental lawsuit against Sani Enterprises, according to a release.
The State of Wisconsin brought the case against Sani Enterprises for violations of state environmental laws regulating the maintenance of underground tanks for storage, handling or use of flammable or combustible liquids and the proper abandonment of unused tanks, according to the release.
The tanks are on property known as the "Highway 50 Citgo" at 5616 75th St. in Kenosha, according to the release.
Officials said the laws are designed to protect the waters of the state from harm due to contamination from such liquids.
The lawsuit was brought against Sani Enterprises because it did not bring its storage tanks into compliance until after the Department of Safety and Professional Services referred the violations to the Department of Justice, according to the release.
Sani Enterprises then cooperated with the DOJ and brought the tanks into compliance, according to the release. Sani Enterprises agreed to pay forfeitures, costs and surcharges totaling $5,000.
It is important to have tanks in compliance with the code because soil contaminated with petroleum products contaminates groundwater flowing through it and can emit petroleum vapors that seep into nearby basements, the DSPS said in the release.

Hey, Rich Kids! Work Retail, Learn The Value Of A Dollar. Not.
This is the sort of story that makes me want to throw a chair. From today's New York Times:
Steven D. Hayworth, chief executive of Gibraltar Private Bank and Trust, is thrilled that his daughter will be working this summer at a women's clothing store before heading to college in the fall. It is not the particular job that pleases Mr. Hayworth. Rather, he is hoping his daughter will make the connection between how much she earns each day and what that will buy.
"As a parent who has worked his whole life and has had a little bit of success in my career, one of the huge life lessons I learned early on is the value of a dollar," said Mr. Hayworth, whose bank is based in Coral Gables, Fla. "Particularly for children of upper-middle-class and affluent families, there's no perspective on value. When the new Range Rover pulls into the driveway, there's no concept of how many hours of hard work went into owning that vehicle."]
Unlike many collegebound children today, Mr. Hayworth's daughter would have had no worries if she had not been able to find a job. She could have spent the summer by the pool knowing her parents had the money to put her through college.
I'm finishing my book this month, a memoir of working retail in a national chain of stores for two years and three months, part-time, for $11/hour. However much little Miss Hayworth learns from slumming it for a while on the sales floor, I doubt she's going to learn "the value of a dollar" from crossing over to the dark side of the cash wrap
She doesn't need the money. She's taking work away from someone — maybe one of the millions of workers over 40 or 50 or 55 who can't even get a job interview in their field or industry, even with decades of experience — who does.
Yeah, a little rich kid showing up to please Daddy is going to fit in just great with a group of co-workers who know the value of a dollar because they count every single one they earn. They may have many kids or be single moms or be putting themselves through college or, as were three of my colleagues, be working retail despite a prior criminal record, making it really tough to get any job.
Rich kids think work is sorta cute. Something to do before they head off the Hamptons for the weekend or start Harvard med school or head off on Mummy's yacht.
A Range Rover costs $78,425 to $94,275. At a median national retail wage of about $8, she'd be working full-time for five years – if she didn't, like people who really need her job, have pesky stuff like rent, food, car payments, insurance or student debt.
In the world of investment banking, $78,425 is pocket money.
You want to teach kids what a Prada/Range Rover/pair of Manolos really costs? Send 'em far away from home, so they're paying the real cost of housing and commuting to that job. Make sure it's the only job they can get. Make 'em stay in it for a full year, including the holidays.
They'll still have no idea — because they'll be too tired to shop and too intimidated to go into a store full of expensive shit they can't afford. Many of our customers drove Range Rovers. They were some of the most spoiled, nasty, entitled people you could imagine.
I worked retail with two kids, both in their early 20s, one of whom stayed barely three months who was clearly from a well-off family. Not an unpleasant guy, but his sole raison 'detre was scooping up as much of our product at the healthy employee discount as possible. The money, as anyone working retail knows, is low and the work both physically and emotionally grueling.
Playing poor is an insult to those who really are. Playing poor is no joke to those earning poverty-level wages selling overpriced crap to the rich.
She won't last a month — because she won't have to.

text: I'm wondering if I need to start prescription meds to increase my milk. I really want to keep nursing but I can't pump at work and my supply is dropping. I have tried most of the "natural" ideas (fenugreek, blessed thistle, water, healthy eating, more sleep, etc.) and those things don't seem to be working. Can you all give me some info. about the meds, especially if you are using them? When is it a good idea to take it? Are there any side effects? Does it help most women? Thanks for your help!

"Internet Purchases Only"
"Not a Retail Store Stock Item"
This item is viewable at our retail store in LEXINGTON, KY. It may be on display and is
available for immediate purchase and pick-up.
*Please Note!! Many of our pictures are stock photos provided to us by the manufacturer and do not necessarily represent the actual item being purchased. Please verify this picture accurately reflects the product described by the title and description on this page before you place your order.
The MINI MONSTER provides significant sound suppression—and excellent
flash and dust signature suppression—yet adds only 2.75 inches to your
weapon's length and weighs only 14 ounces, adding minimal change to the
portability, stowability, and maneuverability of your AR-15, M4, M16, C8
SFW, or other rifle. For firearms with barrels 14.5 inches or longer
using standard M855 ammunition, the MINI reduces the average maximum
sound pressure level below the OSHA 140-decibel safe level.
SureFire sound suppressors require an adapter for attachment to a
firearm. Adapters for the MINI sound suppressor screw directly onto the
original rifle muzzle threads—see Parts and Accessories below. Adapters
for this suppressor vary in compatibility with US military bayonet,
blank firing attachment, and M203 grenade launcher—verify before
ordering if this is a concern.
Chosen by the US military, SWAT
teams, and law enforcement agencies across the country, proven in the
world's toughest combat conditions, only SureFire sound suppressors for
rifles and machine guns combine every important suppressor feature:
excellent sound, flash, and dust signature reduction—key components of
SureFire's Total Signature Reduction™ (TSR); minimal and consistent zero
shift regardless of attach/detach cycles; rock-solid attachment in
seconds; compact size; minimal weight; fail-safe baffles to prevent
bullet side-exit; and extreme durability permitting full-time use—in
fact, your SureFire suppressor should outlast your firearm barrel.
SureFire Fast-Attach® sound suppressors provide crucial tactical
benefits—they protect shooter and team members against both permanent
and temporary hearing loss, enhancing situational awareness and
communication; reduce sound signature, concealing shooter's position;
reduce or virtually eliminate muzzle flash and dust signatures,
concealing shooter's position, preserving night vision and unobstructed
view; reduce recoil, improving bullet impact observation and allowing
faster follow-up shots.

Comments about Learning Resources New Sprouts® Breakfast Basket:
This was my first new sprouts food product purchased and it is so cute and fun! The basket is durable and well made as well as the food and all perfect size for a toddler. Super impressed it was to be a gift but I gave it to her early and ordered more sets. We're really enjoying playing with it. Very excited to find such a durable, well made quality product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Delicious Fun!
By Second Time Around
from Salt Lake City, UT
My boys love to play kitchen and play with pretend food. These foods are so great are made of soft, durable plastic and are great for little hands, ages 2 and up. The variety is great and introduced many healthy breakfast foods to my boys. It actually got them excited to try some of these foods in real life. It's amazing how play time can transfer into meal time and help with my picky eaters. The play food is so much fun and great for imaginative play. I love that it comes with the basket so I can store the food inside. The play food is by far the best play food because it is durable and doesn't dent it. We love it and would highly recommend it.**Disclosure: I received the product free of charge in order to do an honest review. This in no way influenced my review and all thoughts are 100% my own.**

Perfect Addition to Any Play Kitchen
By Party of Three
from Michigan
This play set encourages imaginative play and healthy-eating habits making it fantastic for acting out certain real life situations. It is so much fun to play with! This is such a wonderful set! I love that this set includes both healthy (yogurt and eggs) and "fun" choices (cinnamon roll and pancakes). The orange juice is a great touch too and a must have at the breakfast table! The realistic pieces are durable yet flexible so they do not stay caved in when squeezed like most other play food. I also noticed that the pieces are the PERFECT size for little hands!
Life-like food that makes play time fun
By Inspired by Savannah
from Putnam, CT
You really have to see this pretend food up close, as it really looks real. While we don't eat bagels or cinnamon rolls in our house, the girls were able to tell me what they were, when we first started playing with the food items. I held up each item and asked them to tell me what it was it, its color and asked if they liked it. This was a great way to see how much the girls know. With Savannah being our picky eater, I thought this breakfast basket would tempt her to want to try more things besides eggs, fruit, ham and bacon in the AM. And, it did. Now, we have pancake picnics on the play mat a few times a week, which is usually followed up with the girls playing grocery store with the cute sturdy basket that comes with the New Sprouts breakfast basket set, and kitchen, where they are the cooks and make Mommy breakfast. It is so great to not only see the girls playing and getting along together, but also talking about the different pretend foods and how they plan to cook and serve them up. I think I may have two budding cooks on my hands. :-)Disclosure: I received a free sample from the vendor in exchange for an honest review. All views shared are mine and mine alone.
Great play food for little kids!
By Lisa at Ahh~Mazing Reviews
from Olive Branch, MS
Thank you Learning Resources for providing me with a New Sprouts Breakfast Basket, free of charge, for review on my blog Ahh~Mazing Reviews. These are my own honest opinions.We are huge fans of Learning Resources and are always excited to work with them on reviews and giveaways! We fell in love with the New Sprouts line of play food after receiving some earlier this year. We were excited to receive the New Sprouts Breakfast Basket recently for review!This basket of toy food includes so many great items such as a glass of orange juice, bowl of cereal, egg, pancakes, banana, strawberries, and more! Davey likes to put the egg on the toast and make egg sandwiches like Mommy and Grandma eat. He was excited to get a toy banana, as that is one of his favorite foods, and I don't think any of his other food sets include a banana. The bowl of cereal is really cool, and looks like a real bowl of cereal, milk and all!The basket the food comes in is sturdy and durable. Davey loves using these baskets to pretend to have a picnic! The play food itself is durable as well, and doesn't even show teeth marks! I have tried and tried to tell Davey not to put the food in his mouth, just to pretend, but he always tries to take a bite out of it. The food is made of soft, durable plastic which has held up well to my wild child!
Good Product

I got this for my Granddaughter who was turning 2. She loved it! Quality of the product was very good.
Great for Pretend Play!
By M_Oachs
from Burnsville, MN
My children LOVE playing and pretending in their kitchen set, making dinner, lunch and breakfast for themselves and anyone else they can find in the house! I love watching them learn, pretend and grow as they play with each other!So when I saw the New Sprouts® Breakfast Basket from Learning Resources, I knew it would be a great addition to their kitchen set! They didn't really have any breakfast foods and, after all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right???!! :) They NEEDED to get some good breakfast foods so I could get breakfast in bed! :)This basket full of fun and delicious breakfast foods was a perfect fit for their kitchen set play and fit nicely on their storage shelf! They literally play with at least one of these foods every day and they especially LOVE the orange juice, cereal and yogurt!This is a really fun basket of foods and I highly recommend it for any kitchen set-loving children who love to pretend and love breakfast! :)

So realistic
Durable - Long Lasting
By Kari
from Boston
The first thing I noticed about the Breakfast Set is the detail that was put into every piece of food that makes it look realistic. I also liked the variety of options that I don't normally see in a children's pretend food set, like the cereal with milk in a bowl, and the cantaloupe slice. The pretend food is durable. It has been played with numerous times and at the end of the day gets throw into the basket, and still looks as good as new. We have a number of Learning Resources products and I'm always happy with the quality, the products are are long lasting. With two active little boys we've never had any break or crack.

Love New Sprouts Breakfast Basket!
By Angie

I love how durable and realistic this New Sprouts Breakfast Basket is. So many of the play food sets we have purchased are poor quality and we end up throwing the away. The pieces look just like real foods that my kids eat. My kids love this set

April 22, 2004: Resembling a diamond-encrusted bracelet, a ring of brilliant blue star clusters wraps around the yellowish nucleus of what was once a normal spiral galaxy in this new image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (HST). This image is being released to commemorate the 14th anniversary of Hubble's launch on April 24, 1990 and its deployment from the space shuttle Discovery on April 25, 1990. The galaxy, cataloged as AM 0644-741, is a member of the class of so-called "ring galaxies." It lies 300 million light-years away in the direction of the southern constellation Volans.See the rest:
The sparkling blue ring that encircles the nucleus of AM 0644-741 is 150,000 light-years in diameter, making it larger than our entire home galaxy, the Milky Way. AM 0644-741 lies 300 million light-years away in the direction of the southern constellation Volans.
Ring galaxies are an especially striking example of how collisions between galaxies can dramatically change their structure, while also triggering the formation of new stars. They arise from a particular type of collision, in which one galaxy (the "intruder") plunges directly through the disk of another one (the "target"). In the case of AM 0644-741, the galaxy that pierced through the ring galaxy is out of the image but visible in larger-field images. The resulting gravitational shock imparted due to the collision drastically changes the orbits of stars and gas in the target galaxy's disk, causing them to rush outward. As the ring plows outward into its surroundings, gas clouds collide and are compressed. The clouds can then contract under their own gravity, collapse, and form an abundance of new stars.
The rampant star formation explains why the ring is so blue: it is continuously forming massive, young, hot stars, which are blue in color. Another sign of robust star formation is the pink regions along the ring. These are rarefied clouds of glowing hydrogen gas, fluorescing because of the strong ultraviolet light from the newly formed massive stars.
Anyone who lives on planets embedded in the ring would be treated to a view of a brilliant band of blue stars arching across the heavens. The view would be relatively short-lived because theoretical studies indicate that the blue ring will not continue to expand forever. After about 300 million years, it will reach a maximum radius, and then begin to disintegrate.

Phares honored by Third Ward Elementary
Students cheered as a former Randolph County superintendent of schools was inducted into the Third Ward Elementary School Heroes Hall of Fame Program Friday.
Dr. James Phares, who currently serves as the West Virginia superintendent of schools, was honored as a person who has set a good example in life for others to follow.
Third Ward Elementary Principal Debra Schmidlen welcomed Phares, giving students background information about the Elkins native.
"Last year, Dr. Phares proposed a full renovation project for our school to the Comprehensive Educational Facilities Plan," Schmidlen said. "Through local Qualified Zone Academy Bonds funding and a grant with the State Building Authority, we received basically a new school.
"We are very proud of the way our school looks and we would like to thank Dr. Phares for being instrumental in making this happen."
Students roared with excitement as Phares joined Schmidlen on the stage. Phares led the student body in a cheer for the West Virginia University Mountaineers.
"Well, thank you for this award," Phares said. "I am truly honored. I love Elkins. I love Randolph County and I love the kids that I went to school with here, and those I grew up with.
"You know when I was hired in Randolph County as superintendent we were under a lot of scrutiny from the state and the Office of Education Performance Audits," Phares said. "With a lot of hard work by good people, many of whom are here today, a couple of board members, central office staff and most appropriately the teachers that work with you every day, we faced the reality of where we were and set to work to address our deficiencies to make them right.
"Together as a team, our school system through much turmoil gained full accreditation and became the premier school system it had always been and was when I was a student."
"And when the excess levy passed back in 2010, it kind of validated the community confidence in our board of education, and in all of our teachers and in all of our staff," Phares said. "The evidence is here in this school with its $3 million renovations and this beautiful gym. It's hard to imagine what it used to look like."
Phares shared what makes him the proudest about being honored.
"It is written right up here," Phares said, pointing to the air ducts where a phrase is painted: "I will try my best and never give up."
"I am honored to be in your hall of fame," Phares said. "This is more than just a great new school. It represents the promise that as West Virginians we will do what it takes to give all of our children, you included, a quality education. My wish for all of you is that all of your dreams come true."
Past residents inducted into the Third Ward Elementary School Heroes Hall of Fame Program include Jack Basil, Roger Bolyard, Judy Guye Swanson, Dr. Mary Boyd, Joe Grahame, Richard Walden, Sandra DiBacco, Derek Fincham, Cheryl Ware, Barry Band and Carolyn Shepler.

Those are great!!
My favorite so far is when Elias looks up at me and smiles while still nursing and i see his little tongue still moving while he's smiling..i think it's the cutest thing!!
Those are great!!
My favorite so far is when Elias looks up at me and smiles while still nursing and i see his little tongue still moving while he's smiling..i think it's the cutest thing!!
Definitely the smiles are the best, especially after I've been at work all day. The ear prints on the arm are also the sweetest thing.
My favorite story is a few weeks ago when my almost 8 MO was sitting on the sofa between DH and me. She wasn't hungry but was in a playful mood. She was going up to my chest and rooting while making a growling sort of noise, then flinging herself toward my husband and doing the same thing. Back and forth, she did that for about 5 minutes. My husband & I were in tears laughing so hard!
Another favorite was the time when she was only a few weeks old and my husband put her up on his shoulder to burp her. Instead she latched onto his earlobe and started sucking away. The funniest part was the yelp he let out!
My favorite moment-- my son sometimes has a sleepy milky smile when he's done feeding...such a sweet beautiful thing! His little lips curl up at the corners as he releases my breast and falls asleep... sigh!
What I wouldn't give to remain a nursing mom forever!
My favorite nursing memory concerns my first daughter. I had to fight *hard* against all sorts of obstacles (hospital neegligence, pushy in-laws) to nurse her, and I won. I will never forget how proud I felt to have fought that uphill battle and triumphed.
My other favorite nursing memory is of my first daughter coming to see me after I had been away from her for a couple of hours for the first time. She toddled over to me and said, "Oh, Mommy!" Then she got in my lap and had a good nursing, after which she looked up at me and said, very satisfied, "oh, mook!" We are going through a very rough patch in our relationship now, so I am glad I have that time to look back on.
What sweet moments to share! My Mom was a La Leche League-er with me and she told me her favorite moment was when I couldn't resist smiling at her while nursing and the milk would dribble out of the corner of my mouth. The first time my son did this for me, I understood what she meant! I also love the moments when I catch my husband looking adoringly at the two of us when ds is nursing - it's as if he is awed and amazed that I can nourish and sustain the life of our precious baby boy. I have to agree, we Moms are pretty amazing and awe-inspiring!!
I love when right before she latches on she makes these little noises like aah and aow. And she makes this little panting noise. She waves her arms and kicks her legs in excitement. And shows a big grin.
I love how she shows me she wants to bf. Now at 3 months old, she moves her arm up and down and pats my chest with her little hand.
These all make me cry!!
With my first she was about a week old when my husband stayed in bed with her while I took a shower. When I got out my husband was laughing hysterically. He is VERY ticklish and she had latched on and was going to town on him. Well he would not pull her off, it tickled so much he was afraid he would hurt her.
With all 4 my favorite thing is sleeping with them we call it nappy-nini and how they look up at me with a huge smile in their eyes. I love that they nurse almost all night!!
Oh it makes me teary to read these, I will say that I had no idea that the breast feeding relationship could be and IS so special. I love so many things, the fact that it is our time, no one else can experience that with Thomas, I also love those nursing grins, oh yeah those sweet nursing noises are great too!
Hi everybody,
I love the way Robert smiles at me while we settle in after a day at work/daycare.
Another memory that always makes me smile is from early in our breastfeeding relationship. He was such an avid eater that he would open his mouth super-wide to latch on and looked just like the "Hungry Hungry Hippo" from the Milton Bradley game.
Aw these are so touching.
I love it when my son can't stop smiling when he's nursing and milk gets all over his face. He'll even start giggling and then he'll nurse again but he'll have to pause and smile.
My other favorite moment is when he grabs my finger and holds it while he eats.

The allure of Western Michigan University's wildly popular vocal jazz program and the welcoming spirit of fellow student musicians made Loren Battley's transition to Western a highly enjoyable experience.
Battley attended a 2010 performance by WMU's internationally acclaimed vocal jazz ensemble Gold Company. The experience clinched her decision to transfer to WMU from the School for Music Vocations in Creston, Iowa.
Originally from Downey, Calif., the senior jazz voice major was surprised upon arriving in Kalamazoo by the warm greetings she received from students throughout the WMU School of Music and elsewhere in the Bronco community.
"In my previous educational experiences, instrumentalists never socialized with vocalists, and vice versa," says Battley. "It's nothing at all like that here. Everybody has been just completely welcoming and helpful."
Battley is the first recipient of a vocal jazz endowed scholarship named to honor the accomplishments Diana Spradling, who recently retired from the WMU faculty. Spradling is the author of "Jazz Singing: Developing Artistry and Authenticity," and her former WMU students include Broadway performers, studio singers, recording artists, members of national touring companies and several university-appointed jazz voice professors.
A highlight of Battley's WMU experience has been performing with Gold Company. Through the rigor and excellence of the program, new doors have in turn opened for Battley. Recently, she was a featured performer during WMU's annual Excellence in Diversity Awards that honor faculty, students and staff for their efforts to build a more inclusive, equitable and diverse University community.
Battley's learning opportunities have not been limited to the realm of music. As a former WMU student ambassador, her smiling face has been seen around campus, leading tour groups of prospective Broncos.

19 top-three league team finishes in past 34 years
SEARCY, Ark. — The Central College men's and women's tennis teams rounded out their spring break trip to Arkansas Wednesday as both squads were swept by Division II Harding University (Ark.) 9-0.
"Despite the result, I was pleased with the effort," said coach Steve Tyler. "Harding is a very good Division II team with a lot of international athletes who are playing on scholarship."
Neither Dutch squad saw much offensive production, The Harding men (15-0) blanked Central (6-6) in four matches on the day.
Sophomore Zane Hendricks (Fort Dodge) accounted for the two highest-scoring matches for the Dutch. He was bested 6-4, 6-4 at No. 3 singles and teamed with Collin Schares (freshman, Johnston) at No. 3 doubles, suffering an 8-4 defeat.
"This Arkansas trip sends the men into Iowa Conference play having seen some very good competition," said Tyler. "That should bode well."
In women's action, Harding (11-2) was equally dominant, holding Central (7-11) scoreless in six matches.
Blake Taylor (sophomore, Tama, South Tama HS) and Riley Taylor (senior, Tama, South Tama HS) played at No. 1 doubles and were shut down 8-2.
"Obviously the spring is not the traditional season for the women, but the experience will be good for the future," said Tyler. "Our main goal for the women on this trip was to work on improvement and look forward to next fall."
Both Central teams were 1-2 in spring break showdowns.
The men's squad rests for 10 days before hosting Westminster College (Mo.) and conference foe Buena Vista University March 24. Start time is 9 a.m. As of Wednesday, Westminster is 3-6 and Buena Vista is 4-5. Central toppled the Beavers 9-0 in the fall.
The women's squad has three matches remaining in the spring season, which resumes March 27 when Grand View University visits the A.N. Kuyper Athletics Complex for a 4 p.m. start.

Lincoln Families HEALTH ACTION NETWORK presents a "Courageous Conversation" - What parents need to know about the RESPONSE program
Wednesday, November 20th
6 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
Lincoln High School Cafeteria
Presented by School Psychologist Jim Hanson and
Vicki Crow, Lincoln Parent
Our students have high expectations for themselves, and so do teachers and parents. Research shows that 86% of parents are unaware when stress, anxiety, or depression causes their children to think about hurting themselves. Hear from Lincoln parents and staff about what you can do to help your own child or other Lincoln children.
Because our Lincoln community has experienced suicide, the Lincoln staff and the Parent Health Action Network introduced RESPONSE: A Comprehensive High School-based Suicide Awareness Program. RESPONSE is listed as a National Best Practice by the American Society of Suicide Prevention and the Suicide Prevention Resource Center. Vicki Crow will tell her story as a Lincoln parent about losing her son and what parents should know. Know what to say and do if someone might be thinking about it, and they learn where to go for help. With RESPONSE, you can learn what you as a parent or community member can do when you feel in your heart that something just isn't going right.
It might be your child, another parent's child, or a spouse or co-worker. Come to discuss and learn. Leave prepared.

My baby boy Sven is almost 11 month old. He was breastfed till 5th month and afterwards we started to introduced solid. Now he is eating porridge with vegetable and meat, burgoo, fruits etc, but still breastfeeding in the morning, evening and night time. Though he is not gaining a lot of weight (3.1 kg when he was born and now around 7.6 kg...he is a small Asian guy), he is quite healthy and energetic, busy crawling and studying everything at home.
Today we went to the health center for a regular body check, and the doctor told us the Sven is not gaining enough weight, and she ask us to add formula milk to his porridge or burgoo (which is prepared with normal milk + expressed mother's milk). And she stated that formula milk is full of nutrition.
Though the doctor did say it is good to continue with breastfeeding, I am really reluctant to add formula milk to my baby......
Any advice?

Does Anyone like Shakespear
If you do put your favorite play/poem/whatever written by him
Romeo and Juliet
The Merchant of Venice.... or MacBeth... or A Midsummer Night's Dream. It's pretty much all awesome.
My favorite villian ever is Iago.
i like Summer's night dream
i read it and watched the show and loved it
Romeo and Juliet is clasic
I don't really like Romeo and Juliet. (don't know why most interprete this as his best :p_)
My fav is Midsummer Night's Dream. Apart that I like Macbeth, Merchant of Venice, Othello.

in which iago is a villain from othello... the main one i like. about a moor driven to jealousy by iago, bearing in mind some people don't really trust moors due to the time it was set. "the green eyed monster doth mock the meat on which it feeds" something like that is the main quote... and something about the beast with 2 backs, was another quote earlier on referring to sex :p
Merchant of Venice, favourite character Porshia!!!!
The Tempest is good, too. I think the new movie is butchering it though.
Othello is awesome,we were watching it at school
awesome tragical love story
At my school were are doing a slapstick shakespere comedy
(slapstick is like the three stooges !!)
Comedy of Errors
I love MacBeth and Othello and The Tempest.
Although, I used to pop onto Guild Wars during special event weekends and have my character yell "Hark, what light through yonder window breaks?" in different regions until someone gave me the correct following line (from Romeo and Juliet).
Romeo and Juilette or Caesar.
We did Macbeth last year for school.
I would say Romeo and Juliet is a good one.
My friend and I love to re say quotes from him
Hamlet. the tragedy is grand and spreads like a disease.
I'm not crazy about his work, but the Seven Ages of Man was pretty amazing to me.
Hamlet and Macbeth
No Shakespeare is "bad". You have to love the man that introduced more words into English than anyone else in history.

Q: What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
A: Last July I was "Pomegranate", a main character in Fort Stockton's Water Carnival production of Surf's Up!, which required acting, swimming and dancing. During a practice I did a handstand into the swimming pool, but slipped and gave myself a concussion. Needless to say, Pomegranate had a serious headache and an overnight stay in the hospital. That was not in the script!
Q: Do you cook and/or bake anything? If so, what are your special dishes?
A: I love making brownies and grilled cheese sandwiches! I also decorate cakes and I designed a special "Panther Paw" (school mascot) football cake for one of my friend's 16th birthday.
Q: If you were handed 10 million dollars, what would you splurge on?
A: I would splurge on a fabulous, fantastic Olympic-sized swimming pool!
Q: If you could meet one celebrity, who would it be and why?
A: Angelina Jolie who is an Academy Award winner and a respected UN Goodwill Ambassador.
Q: What is unique about you (something no other contestant can say about themselves)?
A: I own and operate my own dance studio, Kelli's Dance Studio LLC.

As far as I know, the polished BW bolt for a reflex wont affect anything that much at all. Maybe it would allow you to lower your reg pressure, but it is not worth the $100 dollars. If anything, I would see if you could get it polished by pooty but even that wouldnt do much.
Why not?

I didn't mention this in my last post, but it's SO exciting. My sister, Nene, not her real name, that lives in Atlanta with two boys is also expecting a sweet baby 8 days before me! We're 19 months apart, so we've always been super close and I feel so blessed that I get to walk through this experience WITH her! She also found out last week that she's having a GIRL!!!! I die. I literally die of excitement.
This Friday, Mister Husband and I are taking a little trip down to a 4-d ultrasound place to find out what we're having EARLY! Why are we doing this?? Easy. Two words. NURSERY PLANNING!
Now, some of my long-time followers might be thinking.... "WAIT! You already designed your nursery, like, years ago".... and you would be correct. BUT things change, AND unfortunately, some items stop being sold. So, while I still adore my original nursery plan... there have been many fun and inspiring changes that have made me SUPER excited to get started!

- Palliative care nursing in rural Western Australia
- Author(s)
- McConigley, Ruth; Kristjanson, Linda; Morgan, Adrian
- Abstract
- This article presents the findings of a study of rural palliative care nurses in Western Australia. The number of rural centres in Western Australia offering palliative care services is increasing; however, at present there is little empirical data available about the roles of the nurses involved. This study was undertaken to begin to correct this deficit. The study examined basic social processes associated with the role of rural palliative care nurses, and identifies issues that affect the nurses' professional practice. A modified grounded theory approach was used to form a conceptual framework that describes rural palliative care nursing. Theoretical sampling techniques were used to identify the six palliative care nurses working in rural Western Australia who participated in the study. Data were generated using in-depth interview and participant observation techniques. Constant comparative analysis of the data was employed to allow concepts to emerge from the data. The central theme that developed is the all-consuming nature of the rural palliative care nurse's role. Three subthemes relating to multiple roles, expectations of nurses, and coping strategies are also discussed. This research explored issues that rural palliative care nurses feel are relevant to their professional practice, and it describes the basic social processes inherent in the rural palliative care nurse's role. Recommendations for nursing research, education, administration and clinical practice are presented.

Thirty years after the Israeli attack on the Osirak reactor in June 1981 the consequences for Iraqs nuclear weapons program remain hotly debated. A new history of this program, based on several new Iraqi sources, yields a net assessment of the impact of the Israeli attack that differs from prevailing accounts. The attack had mixed effects: it triggered a covert nuclear weapons program that did not previously exist, while necessitating a more difficult and timeconsuming technical route to developing nuclear weapons. Notwithstanding gross inefficiencies in the ensuing program, a decade later Iraq stood on the threshold of a nuclear weapons capability. This case suggests that preventive attacks can increase the long-term proliferation risk posed by the targeted state.

West Desert District Office
|Release Date: 07/01/13
Personal Fireworks Displays Allowed on July 4th at Bonneville Salt Flats
Salt Lake City—The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), West Desert District is allowing an exemption to the fireworks restriction on July 4th along the access road of the Bonneville Salt Flats, near Wendover, Utah. The BLM will patrol the area during the festivities and will provide a dumpster at the access road for disposal of fireworks trash. This exception applies only to personal fireworks displays from 6 a.m. on July 4th to 6 a.m. on July 5th.
"We have made this temporary exception to the fireworks restriction to provide a safe and fun location for celebrating the 4th of July," said West Desert District Manager Kevin Oliver. "In past years, we have successfully provided this area for personal fireworks on the 4th of July. The Bonneville Salt Flats are an important resource used by many different groups including racing, and filming. With the public's help keeping the area clean, we don't anticipate any problems," said Oliver.
The public is being asked to practice the following:
Leave No Trace – Bring a trash bag and carry out what you bring in, including spent fireworks.
Firework Safety – Be sure children are properly supervised when setting off fireworks. Be sure fireworks are cold before placing in the trash. Make sure that all personal fireworks are legal for use in Utah.
Driving Safety – Wear your seatbelt. Don't speed, and most importantly, don't drink and drive.
The Bonneville Salt Flats is managed by the BLM Utah as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern and a Special Recreation Management Area, and is on the National Register for Historic Places. To learn more about the Bonneville Salt Flats visit: www.blm.gov/ut/st/en/fo/salt_lake.html.
Fireworks are prohibited on all BLM-managed lands in the West Desert District. Currently, fire danger is very high and human-caused fires pose a threat to the public and the public lands.
Follow us on Twitter @BLMUtah
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

How often am I supposed to be paid?
Generally, employees must be paid twice a month. All work done from the 1st to the 15th of the month must be paid no later than the 26th, and work done from the 16th to the last day of the month must be paid no later than the 10th of the following month. Your employer is required to set regular paydays, and must pay employees on those days. If your employer sets the payday before the 26th and the 10th, then that set payday is the day you should be paid. Your employer may pay you more than twice a month, but cannot make an agreement with you or other workers to pay you less than twice a month.
Exceptions: The above rule may not apply to exempt administrative, executive and professional employees, or to union members.
- Some administrative, executive and professional employees may be paid once a month because they are "exempt." (See our Fact Sheet Exemptions from Overtime Pay for more information on which employees are administrative, executive or professional.)
- If you are in a union and covered by a collective bargaining agreement that has a different pay arrangement, that agreement trumps the above rules and sets your paydays.
Does my employer have to let me know when the paydays are?
Your employer is required to post a notice listing regular paydays and the time and place of payment. The notice should be posted where all the employees will see it, or if that is not possible, then the notice can be posted at your employer's office.
Does my employer have to stick to the posted paydays, or is there a "grace period" for late pay?
There is no grace period for regular pay, but your employer can wait until the next check to pay overtime. For example, if you are paid weekly, then your regular hours during the pay period must be paid on the check for that period—but your overtime hours for that period must be paid by the following check.
What if we disagree about the amount of wages I'm owed? Can my employer wait until we agree on the amount?
No. If there is a disagreement about the amount of wages owed to you, your employer still must pay you the undisputed amount (the wages she acknowledges are due). You can then file a claim with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) for any amount that remains in dispute. Although your employer may note on the check "payment-in-full" or other similar language, you can still cash your check without giving up your claim for further wages. However, to make sure the employer knows that you are not accepting the check as a full payment, when you cash the check you should consider crossing out "payment-in-full" and write "under protest" on the back before endorsing the check.
Can my employer pay me with a voucher?
No. Your employer must pay your wages using cash or a form of payment that can be exchanged to cash (e.g., a check). Your employer can deposit your wages into a bank, savings and loan, or credit union of your choice provided that you have voluntarily authorized it. Your employer cannot pay you by a "voucher" that is subject to a service charge, nor can it pay you by any method that is redeemable in services or goods other than money. These provisions do not apply to students, or employers that are cities, counties, or school districts.
Does my employer have to give me a check stub with my check?
Your employer must give you a statement that shows your gross wages, total hours worked (only if you are "non-exempt," or the type of worker who has the right to receive overtime pay), any deductions from your pay, your net wages, and the beginning and ending dates of the pay period. It must also include your name and your employer's name and address. This payroll information can be on the check stub, or it can be on a separate statement. Your employer is required to give you this statement every time you are paid, even if you are paid in cash. You should keep all of your check stubs in case you ever have a payroll dispute with your employer.
If my paycheck bounces, do I have any rights?
Yes. Your employer is required to have enough money in the bank (or a credit arrangement) to cover your paycheck for 30 days after the date it is issued. If your employer's check bounced, and you attempted to cash or deposit the check within 30 days of receiving it, you can collect a penalty from your employer. If your employer doesn't pay you the owed wages immediately after the check bounces, it will owe you an extra day of wages for each and every day you remain unpaid (in addition to the amount of the paycheck itself). This penalty begins on the day you present the check to your bank for deposit and accrues until your employer pays you or for 30 days, whichever is shorter.
Your employer may be able to avoid paying the penalty by showing that the mistake with your check was unintentional. In order to receive this penalty you must file a claim with the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE).
You may have the right to additional (or different) penalties if you file a claim in civil court rather than filing a claim with the DLSE. You should consult a private attorney about filing a claim in civil court.
Finally, if your employer does not have enough money to pay you, it has committed a misdemeanor and may have to pay a criminal penalty.
How do I report my employer for late or bounced paychecks?
Contact the Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement ("Labor Commissioner") and tell them you want to report your employer.
What if I am not paid on time or my check bounces after I quit or have been fired?
If you are fired, your employer is required to pay you all of your wages immediately, including any accrued vacation time and overtime pay. If you quit, you are entitled to all wages within 72 hours of giving notice (or on your last day if you give more than 72 hours notice). If you are not paid on time, your employer may have to pay your wages plus a penalty. (For more information on receiving your final pay and any associated penalties, see our Fact Sheet Getting your Final Paycheck.)
Can my employer make me sign a release before I am paid?
No. It is illegal for your employer to agree to pay you only if you will sign an agreement releasing it from any claim related to your unpaid wages. If you signed a release like this before you were paid, it is not valid and you can still file a claim for any wages that are still owed. Your employer has committed a misdemeanor by making you sign the release before paying you, and may have to pay further fines.
I work for the government. Am I still covered?
It depends. The above rules do not apply to employees of counties, municipal corporations, school districts and students of nonprofit schools.
What should I do if I am not paid on time?
You should start by asking your employer for the wages you are owed and remind your employer that the wages are late. It is best to do this in writing (and keep a copy of the note).
If your employer refuses to pay you, you may have to take legal action. If you file a claim with the California Division of Labor Standards Employment ("Labor Commissioner"), you will not need a lawyer (although you can bring one). The Labor Commissioner is able to award you most of the unpaid wages and penalties described above.
You can also choose to file in Small Claims court or Superior Court. In Small Claims court, you do not need to find a lawyer (in fact, lawyers are not permitted in Small Claims court), but the maximum amount you can recover is $7,500. If your claim is greater than $7,500 then you should file in Superior Court.
For larger cases filed in Superior Court, you will have a much easier time if you hire a lawyer to represent you. Unfortunately, it might be difficult to find a lawyer to represent you unless you have a particularly large case. If you are not sure where to find a lawyer, you should start by contacting your local Bar Association and asking for a referral. Many questions about filing in court can also be answered by the Superior Court Clerk.
The turnaround on Small Claims Court claims is usually faster than Superior Court. The Small Claims Court hearing is normally held within 30 to 70 days after the claim is filed. See the California Courts Self-Help Center for more information. Many counties also have a Small Claims Legal Advisor's Office that can you help with your claim.
If you file a court case, you can recover your lost wages plus any penalties your employer might have to pay (see Section 7). Remember, however, that the daily penalty is only available if you do not recover the money for late charges or the "triple damages" penalty.
Filing with the Labor Commissioner or in court can take time; you may want to see if your employer will pay the penalties voluntarily to avoid the hassle. For more information about filing a claim with the Labor Commissioner, see our Do-It-Yourself Guide Recovery of Unpaid Wages: How to Represent Yourself Before the California Labor Commissioner.
