National Pork Board threatens lawsuit against Jennifer Laycock aka The Lactivist.
Jennifer is a huge proponent of milk banks and supporting mothers who chose to breastfeed. She raises money for he local Ohio milk bank by selling T-shirts that support milk banks and breastfeeding on cafe press . Slogans on her shirts are quite irreverent and very witty. The objectionable Tee? A plain T-shirt that simply says “The Other White Milk” as of this writing Cafe Press yanked the T-shirt off their site. Jennifer points out that she has made 8.00 in TOTAL for the t-shirt, and she is not so much angry about their objection to her using the slogan- but in their lawsuit demand her effort to support breastfeeding- and has another agenda.
To read more about the incident, visit Jennifer’s breastfeeding blog, http://thelactivist.blogspot.com/2007/02/overzealous-big-pork-stomps-on.html

July 21st is the Day! The final installment of Harry Potter will be released. I am meeting this day with mixed feelings. Its like reading a great book and being a little sad when it is over- wishing you had never read it so you could read it for the first time all over again.
You can pre-order your copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows through Amazon.com ins the US here : US Pre-Order Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
If you are in Canada save on shipping and order from Amazon.ca : Canadian Pre-Order Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
There is also an “adult” version- which means a different jacket cover, and it can be also bepre-ordered Adult Edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallowshere
I am not sure yet if the two version will vary- often the American version is a bit different and been “Americanized” and Canadian is the same as the British publication.

These ones you have to watch a 10 second video ad, then after live cam begins:
Live Hummingbird cam- Tons of action here!
African Watering Hole Cam Feed can be spotty- but here are lions, zebra and more. VERY cool!
