The announcement two weeks ago that The Tallest Man On Earth will release his first new album since 2012 this spring on Dead Oceans was met with open arms and eager anticipation. While the album trailer is a beautiful indication of what's to come, the first single, "Sagres," takes us a step further into the world of Dark Bird Is Home. It's an album that presents Kristian Matsson at his most personal and direct, deeper and darker than ever at times, yet also an album with strokes of whimsy and the scent of new beginnings. It feels fresh and well timed. Hear "Sagres" via YouTube or our Soundcloud page.
The Tallest Man On Earth's Dark Bird Is Home is out May 12th on Dead Oceans and available for pre-order now. All iTunes and SC Distribution pre-orders come with an instant free download of "Sagres".
For the next few years, the Dark Bird tour will come to your city or a town nearby, and for the first time Kristian is bringing a band to the stage with him. Click 'Read More' to see full dates + pre-order information.
Dark Bird Is Home, the fourth album from The Tallest Man On Earth, doesn't feel like it came from one time, one place, or one tape machine. The songs and sounds were captured in various countries, studios, and barns, and they carry a weather-worn quality, some dirt and some grit.
While Dark Bird is The Tallest Man at his most personal and direct, deeper and darker than ever at times, it's also an album with strokes of whimsy and the scent of new beginnings — which feels fresh for Tallest Man On Earth, and well timed. Reliably, the melodies and arrangements are sturdy and classic, like old cars and tightly wound clocks. The lyrics and their delivery are both comforting and alarming, like tall trees and wide hills.
The other musicians and layers on this recording put a wide lens on familiar themes. Fear and darkness, sleep or lack of it, dreams in the dark and in the light. Moving, leaving, going. Distance and short stops, long straight lines, temporal places. More hopefully, a grateful nod to a traveling partner, a healing mind. Maybe a little forgiveness needed. Definitely some things to forget.
Tallest Man On Earth Dark Bird Is Home is out May 12th on Dead Oceans and available for pre-order now. Watch the album trailer above or on our Youtube page.
The Tallest Man On Earth and synthesizers? You betcha. Kristian recently stopped by Asheville's Moog Music factory for a new session. Supplied with an array of Moog equipment, Kristian and tourmates Strand of Oaks take on "There's No Leaving Now" in a completely new way. Watch above.

Martin County unemployment rate decreased compared to March of last year
Martin County — The county's unemployment rate fell sharply in March to 7.0 percent, almost two percentage points lower than a year ago.
Every county in Florida saw a lower jobless rate in March than the previous month, helping the seasonally adjusted statewide rate fall to 7.5 percent, the lowest since October 2008 and below the national rate of 7.6 percent.
The last time Florida's unemployment rate was below the national rate was January 2008.
Martin County's rate dropped by six-tenths to 7.0 percent, matching the state's non-seasonally adjusted rate. County-level rates are not seasonally adjusted.
The jobless rates in all three Treasure Coast counties were at their lowest since June 2008.
About 500 more Martin County residents had jobs in March than the previous month and about 1,020 had jobs who were unemployed a year earlier, according to data released Friday by Florida's Department of Economic Opportunity.
Still, that left an estimated 4,495 Martin County residents unemployed and actively seeking work in March, though that was about 1,150 fewer than a year ago.
Whether a person is eligible for or receiving unemployment compensation or other benefits is not a factor in whether that person is counted among the unemployed.
Speaking at a manufacturing plant in Naples, Gov. Rick Scott said Friday morning that 32,400 private-sector jobs were created in Florida in March.
The governor said, "We are now closing in on the halfway point to our goal of creating 700,000 jobs in seven years."
Nonagricultural employment in the Port St. Lucie metro area, which encompasses St. Lucie and Martin counties, increased in March by 2,200 jobs from the previous year.
Industry sectors gaining the most jobs were professional and business services (1,300 jobs); leisure and hospitality, and government (300 jobs each); education and health services, and mining, logging, and construction (200 jobs each).
March is typically the peak of the season for the leisure and hospitality sector, among others, but
Mekael Teshome, an economist with the Pittsburgh-based The PNC Financial Services Group, said of the job growth, "I don't think it's a statistical fluke. We have genuine job creation."
Teshome said job growth in the Treasure Coast "is consistent with what we're seeing at the state level."
The jobless rates in St. Lucie and Indian River counties fell by eight-tenths of a percentage point.
"The Treasure Coast's recovery has been fairly resilient, even as the rest of the country has been experiencing a cool-down," Teshome said. "We may have some bumps along the way, but ultimately the trend is down for unemployment."
Here are some of the top industries on the Treasure Coast, and the number of jobs gained they have gained or lost compared to a year ago.

Dark and peppery, this vibrates with mineral and black olive overtones, featuring a supple core of dark plum and spice flavors, finishing with remarkable intensity, tension and refinement. Shows power, exuberance and finesse in equal measure.Drink Dates: 2014-2020

The deepest colored of the Syrahs, the 2010 Syrah Bionic Frog is a smoking 100% Syrah that comes from the Coccinelle ('Ladybugâ?� in French) Vineyard, which is a four- acre plot that was planted to Syrah in 1998. Showing beautifully from bottle (I first tasted this from barrel close to two years ago), it offers up a deep, layered and complex aromatic profile of black currants, smoked herbs, mulch, game and hints of pepper. This flows to a full-bodied, ethereally textured Syrah that has surprising polish, building richness and a rock star finish that doesn't lack for length. A classic Bionic Frog that has both richness and elegance, it will benefit from another year or three in the cellar and shine for 15+ years. Drink 2015-2025.Drink Dates: 2015-2025

Good bright, deep red with ruby highlights. Knockout Hermitage-like nose combines blackberry, gunflint, clove, pepper and rose petal. Sweet and densely packed, with dark berry and pepper flavors complemented by deeper-pitched elements of smoke and leather. The utterly palate-saturating finish features substantial dusty tannins and outstanding clarity and lift for such a rich wine.Author: Stephen Tanzer

Tony Clarke was a young attorney in Bradford, McKean County, when he first stood before Judge John Cleland.
Clarke started practicing law in 1991, and in his own words, was full of vim and vigor and probably a little overbearing.
The young lawyer, who argued both criminal and civil cases Clelands courtroom in Smethport, the county seat, said the judge called him into his chambers and gave him advice on handling himself. Clarke said he was encouraged by what the judge said: to tone things down.
Clarke was glad he wasnt called out or humiliated in open court, as he has seen happen to other attorneys.
Ill never forget that, he said. I took that seriously and appreciated that he took it in that fashion.
Clelands courteousness, his attention to detail, watchful eye for the law, and his handling of court cases have drawn praise from those who have presented cases in front of him or have worked beside him.
The judge was chosen to hear the biggest case in Centre County history and the one thats grabbed the nations attention the child sex abuse case against former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. The trial is scheduled to begin June 5.
They dont come fairer or more open-minded, said Fred Gallup, an attorney from Bradford, the largest town in McKean County, and someone who said he has known Cleland since the early 1970s.
You got the best judge in the state to hear the Sandusky case, Gallup said.
Clarke remembers Cleland for how he crafts his orders on motions and spells out his decisions, no matter the complexities of a case.
His rulings on them were always clear and considerate and well-reasoned and related to the facts of the law, Clarke said.
He added: I think Jerry Sandusky is going to get the fairest trial he could have gotten. Honor and privilege
Cleland graduated from Denison University in Ohio with a bachelors degree in history in 1969. He graduated from George Washington Universitys National Law Center in 1972.
He was a law clerk right out of school then went into private practice for 10 years at a firm in Kane, McKean County, from 1974 to 1984.
Cleland took the bench in McKean County in 1984 when he was appointed by then-Gov. Dick Thornburgh. He was elected full time in 1985 and re-elected twice before retiring in 2008.
From there, he was appointed to the states Superior Court in 2008 to 2010.
Hes had his current senior judge status since 2011.
Cleland hired current McKean County Court Administrator Joanne Bly almost 20 years ago. She was quick to say how much shes enjoyed working with Cleland.
Its been an honor and privilege to work with Judge Cleland, she said. Stacy Wallace worked for Cleland, too, as a law clerk after she graduated from law school in 2001 and then clerked for him while he was on the Superior Court.
Shes also argued cases in front of him in the civil arena.
In various child custody trials, Ive seen Judge Cleland put children at ease in what would be an uncomfortable setting, said Wallace, a McKean County attorney. Hed win the children over by talking with them about his experiences in a variety of things in which they could relate whether it be cleaning out horse stalls or resolving conflicts with siblings.
Cleland declined to be interviewed for this report. Some who have worked with him in McKean County declined to do so as well or didnt return messages seeking comment.
Respect is earned
Before taking the bench for the Sandusky case, Cleland was perhaps most known as the man selected to lead a panel investigating the Luzerne County cash-for-kids corruption scandal. There, he investigated how two former judges took money in exchange for imposing harsh sentences on juveniles and sending them to for-profit detention facilities.
He told the Bradford Era newspaper in January 2010: Two judges stand criminally charged for conduct that had the unmistakable effect of harming children. Whether they are guilty or innocent of any specific criminal charge brought by the United States Attorney is not for this Commission to decide. But, there is little doubt that their conduct, whether criminal or not, had disastrous consequences for the juvenile justice system that must be understood and prevented from happening again.
Our focus is on developing recommendations to improve Pennsylvanias juvenile justice system. That is the task the (l)egislature defined for us.
The final report was made in May 2010.
Two years prior, Cleland had been appointed to fill a vacancy on the states Superior Court and served a two-year term. The recommendation came from a northwestern Pennsylvania state senator from nearby Jefferson County, Joe Scarnati, the Senate president pro tempore.
Judge Cleland is an outstanding individual who I have known and respected for many years, Scarnati said in a statement to the CDT. Judge Cleland believes respect is earned and because of his intellect and even-handed approach, he has earned the respect of just about every individual that has appeared before him.
Authentic, fair trial
Judge Maureen Lally-Green was Clelands colleague on the Superior Court. She described him as a judge who will dig deep into the meaning of the law when weighing a decision.
Hes careful about what he does, said Lally-Green, whos known Cleland in a professional capacity since the late 1990s. As a colleague on the bench, I saw it.
Lally-Green said Cleland allows both sides to articulate their arguments. Everyone will get a truly authentic, fair trial governed by a man who is honest, humble, of integrity, and even-tempered, said Lally-Green, now with the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh as its director of church relations.
Chris Mattie, an attorney in Eldred, McKean County, remembered an civil suit that resulted from a car crash death perhaps 15 years ago. Mattie said he and the other attorneys in the case filed a slew of motions and Cleland heard oral arguments all afternoon, working well after the Smethport courthouse closed for the night.
I stayed around Smethport, dont ask me why, and I finally saw him leaving at 8 oclock that night, Mattie said. He had entered orders on every motion.
Rule of law
Clelands even-tempered and deliberate demeanor has already been on display in short bursts in Centre County court.
Most recently, on May 9, Cleland presided over a hearing to determine the legality of subpoenas issued by the defense seeking records such as psychological evaluations and school records.
When Cleland sat down on the bench, he explained his conclusions about the law to frame the dozen or so attorneys arguments on why they shouldnt have to turn over records to the defense.
The hearing went smoothly each attorney had 10 minutes to argue, and Cleland organized them into groups according to the similarities of their arguments. As Cleland shepherded the first round of arguments from school districts attorneys, he wanted more clarity.
He sat back in his chair, and with a friendly smile as though he were a counselor seeking to get to the bottom of a problem, said to Amendola: What do you really want? Cleland saw through Amendolas explanation, which centered around his quest to see if the records would show the boys had behavior problems before they met Sandusky.
Do you care if they went to school every day in kindergarten? Cleland said to Amendola. Amendola said no.
Before adjourning that day, an attorney from Washington stood up and asked Cleland why he denied a friend of the court motion from the National Center for Victims of Crime asking him to throw out the subpoenas. Cleland had denied it earlier without explanation.
He looked at the attorney, seemingly careful to choose his words as not to insult or dismiss her while still relying on the letter of the law.
The request was premature, he said.
I dont feel your perspective has been lost, he told her. Its not as though there are uncounseled parties here. The important other principle goes to the rule of law, which is that although we have loosely referred to victims, until the prosecution proves a crime has occurred, there are no victims.
Careful thought
Cleland showed his fairness in February during a hearing on several matters, one of which was modifying Sanduskys bail to allow him visits with his grandkids. Prosecutor Jonelle Eshbach capitalized on the emotion running through the community at the time, when Sandusky was seen on his porch by neighbors. Eshbach argued Sandusky had the privilege of being on house arrest and should be in jail. She wanted him confined to the walls of his home. But Cleland stopped her before she could finish.
Why is that a privilege? he asked.
Cleland didnt agree. He asked if Sandusky got special treatment, if he posed a danger to the schoolchildren or showed signs of trying to contact them.
He later denied the prosecutions motion for stricter confinement and granted Sandusky visits with his grandkids.
A short time later in that hearing, Cleland weighed one of the most crucial decisions so far whether to pick a jury from Centre County, as the defense vehemently wanted, or to go outside the county, as the prosecution lobbied for.
Cleland heard arguments from the attorneys and turned to Sandusky, who took the stand to testify.
The law is clear in cases like this, Cleland started to explain, as a parent might do when advising a teen child about driving for the first time.
Cleland made sure Sandusky knew the defendant is the one who usually calls for an out-of-county jury. He made sure Sandusky had talked it over with Amendola, and made sure Sandusky knew it would not be grounds for a post-conviction appeal.
If you oppose the commonwealths notion, and I agree with you, you will not be permitted to argue later on that I made a mistake and that I agreed with you, Cleland told him. The next work day, Cleland ruled in Sanduskys favor.
Servant to the people
Jury selection for the Sandusky case is set for June 5. It will be up to Cleland to manage the process.
People here are skeptical an impartial jury can be found.
Bethany Blood, a former law clerk for Cleland, remembers him taking the time to talk to prospective jurors. She said she could figure out which ones didnt want to be there.
Cleland took command.
He took a few minutes to explain to the jury pool how important their job was, said Blood, now an attorney in Erie. I think that that really helped the jurors look at serving on a jury in a different light.
When the trial was over, Clelands job wasnt: he answered any questions the jurors had, Blood said.
Lally Green, the former Superior Court judge, said Cleland sees his job in the context of being a servant to the people. Shes sure hell make justice the top priority.
I think you in Centre County are very blessed to have Judge Cleland be the judge in this case, she said.

Justice Dept Condemns Revised Google Book Deal
The Justice Department criticized on Thursday a revised legal agreement that would allow Google Inc. to build a vast digital library, saying the deal failed to address antitrust and copyright concerns.
While acknowledging that progress had been made, lawyers with the department told the U.S. District Court in New York that "issues remain."
Despite good faith efforts by all involved, the revised agreement "suffers from the same core problem as the original agreement," the department said in a statement of interest filed with the court.
"The amended settlement agreement still confers significant and possibly anti-competitive advantages on Google as a single entity," the DOJ said about the settlement between Google, The Authors Guild and other involved parties.
"Thereby enabling the company to be the only competitor in the digital marketplace with the rights to distribute and otherwise exploit a vast array of works in multiple formats," it continued," the DOJ said in a release authored by assistant U.S, attorney John Clopper.
Among the department's concerns is the possibility that Google could gain exclusive control over so-called "orphan" books, which are titles that are not protected by copyright or in which ownership cannot be determined.
"The court should carefully examine whether there exists a means for rival distributors to access orphan and rights-uncertain works," read the DOJ statement.
Judge Denny Chin is set to hold a hearing on February 18 on Google's digital book project.
For its part, Google said the amended settlement would allow new distribution channels for the books.
"If approved by the court, the settlement will significantly expand online access to works through Google Books, while giving authors and publishers new ways to distribute their works," the Internet search giant said late Thursday.
"We look forward to Judge Chin's review of the statement of interest from the Department and the comments from the many supporters who have filed submissions with the court in the last months."
Google emphasized that the DOJ filing acknowledged progress in the revised deal, and "reinforces the value the agreement can provide in unlocking access to millions of books in the US."
Other objections to the agreement were filed last month by Amazon, Consumer Watchdog, several French publishers, author Ursula K. Le Guin, the Open Book Alliance (OBA) and others.
"The Department of Justice has made it crystal clear that the proposal before the court is overreaching and cannot be approved, said the OBA in a release.
"We are particularly heartened that the government identified the anti-competitive consequences this proposal would have on digital book sales and the search market."
Online retailer Amazon, which makes the Kindle e-reader and operates its own digital bookstore, urged the judge to reject the amended agreement, saying it violates anti-trust and copyright law.
In 2008, Google reached a settlement with the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers to a copyright infringement suit they had filed against the company in 2005.
Under the terms of that settlement, Mountain View, Calif.-based Google agreed to pay $125 million to settle outstanding claims and create an independent "Book Rights Registry" that would provide sales-based compensation to authors and publishers who agree to digitize their books with Google.
Google and the authors and publishers drafted the revised agreement now before the court after objections from France, Germany, the U.S. Department of Justice and others.
The modified deal constrains the definition of books covered under the settlement to those registered with the U.S. Copyright Office by January 2009, or those published in the U.S., Britain, Australia or Canada.
"The changes do not fully resolve the United States' concerns," the Justice Department said.
David Balto, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, said the DOJ was incorrect in assuming the settlement gives Google a competitive advantage.
"The DOJ's view is clouded by taking a microscopic and static view of an incredibly dynamic marketplace," the former anti-trust attorney told the AFP news agency.
"Ultimately the court will get this one right and approve the settlement because, as the DOJ acknowledges, it will bring profound benefits to millions of consumers."

Urban League chief: Wealth gap a 'wake-up call'
For example, the Massachusetts Association of Minority Law Enforcement has appealed to the Urban League to address the lack of high-ranking Latinos and blacks in the command staff of the Boston Police Department while the city continues to experience violence in largely minority neighborhoods. The law enforcement group has reached an impasse with Boston Mayor Tom Menino and Police Commissioner Edward Davis on ways to diversify the department's command staff.
"Police departments should reflect the ethnic makeup of the communities that they serve," said Morial, who has known Menino for years.
However, he said one of the goals of the convention is to strengthen the Eastern Massachusetts affiliate of the Urban League so it could address local concern like those posed by the Massachusetts Association of Minority Law Enforcement.
Morial said that despite the myriad issues the Urban League can address, the group remains focused on jobs and job creation since it is the source of most inequality. "We hope that we can be seen that we have research, we have proposals and that we are an organization that goes beyond rhetoric," he said.

Feds who took TSP withdrawals during shutdown locked out of contributing for next six months
During the 16-day government shutdown last month, more than 14,000 Thrift Savings Plan participants withdrew money from their accounts, the highest number of hardship withdrawals in a single month ever. This may have helped participants weather the financial uncertainty of the shutdown. But, under TSP rules, it also means they'll be unable to contribute to their 401(k)-style retirement accounts for the next six months. Now, the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, which oversees the TSP, is concerned that not all those participants will take the initiative to restart their contributions when the penalty period expires next spring.

30 May 2013 07:32 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--South Korea's LG Chem plans to cut output at its 180,000 tonne/year butadiene rubber (BR) plant in Daesan to 60-70% capacity if prices fall below $2,100/tonne (€1,617/tonne), a company source said.
BR prices averaged $2,175/tonne CFR (cost & freight) NE (northeast) Asia on 23 May, according to ICIS.
"If BR prices fall below $2,100/tonne CFR NE Asia, we will consider reducing the operating rate to 60-70% capacity," the source said.
The plant is currently running at 90-100% capacity, the source added.
Weak market conditions and a sluggish automotive sector have weighed down BR prices, industry sources said.
BR prices have dropped by 16% since early March when prices averaged $2,600/tonne CFR NE Asia on 7 March, ICIS data showed.

Mayor Bill McKean called it an "exciting time."
"This is not something we do every day," the mayor said shortly before members of the Berne City Council authorized the purchase of a new fire truck for the community.
Fire Chief John Crider appeared before the council and recommended the city accept the lowest bid submitted for the fire truck purchase — a base bid of $431,757 from UST Fire Apparatus, based in Delevan, Wisc. Crider also recommended council agree to an option contained in the bid that will replace the truck's standard body with a stainless steel one.
That option, the chief said, comes with an additional $7,080 price tag, but should extend the life of the vehicle significantly.

Hope everyone had a great Hallowe'en! Anyone go to parties or trick-or-treating? Post pics of your costumes if you had one I love seeing other people's but I don't dress up myself since I can never think of anything good! I don't have that many friends in the city yet so didn't do anything in particular. Also, had to finish an essay Thank goodness it's done, and it's the weekend (and I can get away with still being up, it's 2:15 am).
@Caitlin- it must have been really cool to watch Andy Murray win the Olympics then! There's something about someone from your country winning a gold medal, even if it's a sport you don't really like but even more special if it's one you do like! One of my favourite equestrians is Canadian and he won gold in 2008, don't remember if I did but I probably went crazy.
My birthday is July 31 The same as Juliet's (from Romeo and Juliet) and Harry Potter's (I've actually never read or watched HP, just not my type of book/movie. But my friend loves it and she reminds me every year that we share a birthday).~Love names, literature, royals and horses~ <3

@Catalina- Love your costume. It's so funny!
@Lauren- essays suck! In my AP English class we had to write four mini essays in a 70 minute period. (rolls over and dies). I'm glad you got it done!
I went to a masquerade party tonight and it was so much fun. Took my mind off the SAT scores I won't be getting for weeks and weeks and weeeeeks.

@Catalina, Emily- haha! nice!
@Athena- yeah I know. I took AP English too. For the exam (and in class practices) it was 3 essays in 2 hours, plus 1 hour for multiple choice, though obviously in class we didn't break it up. One of the most difficult things I've ever had to do in school, but trust me it pays off. And I love your mask!

Cryptographic algorithms are constantly evolving to meet security needs, and modular arithmetic is an integral part of these algorithms, especially in the case of public-key cryptosystems. To achieve optimal system performance while maintaining physical security, it is desirable to implement cryptographic algorithms in hardware. However, many public-key cryptographic algorithms require the implementation of modular arithmetic, specifically modular multiplication, for operands of 1024 bits in length. Additionally, algorithm agility is required to support algorithm independent protocols, a feature of most modern security protocols. Reprogrammability, particularly in-system reprogrammability, is critical in enabling the switching between cryptographic algorithms required for algorithm independent protocols. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are a viable option for achieving this goal. Ideally, the targeted FPGA will have been designed with the architectural requirements for wide-oper...

No use being done yet on my little rampage.
What about Andy Hrovat? He dominated everybody during the season, but boy oh boy was he a head case. He had to have been. I mean how do you go from beating Josh Lambrecht 9-4 to losing 17-2? I mean that just doesn't happen without something mentally going wrong. I have the Michigan Stat book from Hrovat's senior year and he dominated many of the wrestlers who finished ahead of him at nationals that year.
He wrestled Jessman Smith twice that year. Beat him 14-4 and then 10-4. Yet, because Smith placed 3rd, while Hrovat placed 7th, Smith is looked at as the better wrestler.
Not everything worth remembering in wrestling, happened at nationals. Take this fan's word for it.

3 babies, one husband, 10 years in Australia - from crazy, carefree backpacker to crazy, kickass mumma! But always Canadian and proud of it!
I've been receiving Paid Parental Leave since the birth of my 4th child in April, so I'm starting back to work in a week and a half and I have to admit, I'm a bit nervous!
I am lucky enough to work from home, but I will be juggling 2 school kids, a 3 year old and a 4 month old, on top of my usual housework and helping hubby on our farm.

Mummaof4 replied to the topic What age did your toddler start walking? in the forum Toddler 1 year ago
12 months, 15 months and 9 months. Such a huge range of normal!
My youngest was very low in iron around 18 months old. We did smoothies with Spatone in them, which is a flavourless liquid iron supplement that is easily absorbed by the body. You can get it at most health food shops.

I have no idea how people explain these things to kids. We live on a farm so Dad bringing home a kangaroo he's shot for dog meat or a sheep he's butchered for meat is normal and has always been a part of our kids life.

He was only going 3 days a week last year and now 5 so it's a big change for them.
Mummaof4 replied to the topic Did you walk the kids to school on first day and meet their teacher? in the forum School 1 year, 3 months ago
They don't like us to go into the classroom, it's a 2 story building so the verandas get pretty packed. My big girl is in year 3 and she has the same teacher she did last year, who is also my friend from playgroup, so I didn't go in this time. I did take my 5 year old to Pre-Primary because it's a new classroom for him, although I already know his teacher.
Mummaof4 replied to the topic Losing the first tooth – how old? in the forum School 1 year, 3 months ago
My big girl lost her first tooth, bottom front, just after she turned 6. She lost those 2 and then didn't lose anymore for nearly a year, but she turns 8 in June and she's lost 6 now. I have all of them, I think they're cool! She didn't freak out or anything, most of them have come out at school so she's hopped off the bus very proudly!
Mummaof4 replied to the topic How did you encourage tummy time? in the forum Baby 1 year, 4 months ago
I really stressed out about this with my first 2, I used to lay next to them on the floor to try and stop them screaming. Number #3 I got over it. If they hate it, it's not good for them, babies know what they need. As long as he isnt flat on his back all day, I don't believe it's necessary.

Hey Guys,
We are one week away from play. We are still looking for volunteers for scorekeeping each night, you will get paid.
There are some new FIBA rules this year. Please familiarize yourself with these changes. Most notably, Technicals are now 1 shot and the ball, and only 2 Technicals before you are Fouled Out. Also, Technicals and Unsportmanlike fouls now have a $10 fee paid to the league before you can return to play.
The Kamloops Basketball Officials Association (KBOA) is looking for new refs. If you would like to learn more please come to the first training session Tuesday October 14th. We will be doing session every Tuesday until the end of November. Great way to earn some cash and enjoy the game.
See you all on Sunday!
We are now booked for the new season at the TCC again. Sunday nights, 7:00 and 8:15 games. This year I will be trying to find a few scorekeepers. If we get volunteers from the teams, we can cut some team fee's. If I have to find other people to pay them, the fee's will be $1700 per team.
I have refreshed the spares list for anyone that is looking for a team. If you need to pick up another player, please take a look at the list.
Our first game is on October 19th and we play till March 15th. Team rosters and fee's will be due Sept 30th.

George Washington Carver.
His year of birth remains uncertain, but is estimated to be 1864. He was named George after his father. Because George senior died (in a farm accident on a plantation several miles away) before his son was born, the child had no surname.
When he was but an infant, nightriders, who trafficked in the slave market, kidnapped little George and his mother. Farmer Carver, his owner, sought at length to recover Mary and her son. He did succeed in regaining the child in exchange for a $300 racehorse. Unfortunately, he was never able to find the mother.
At first, Herr Carver and his wife believed that their retrieved child, found next to a tree, soaking wet and shaking with cold, was not going to live. When it appeared that he would survive, they feared that the persistent, hacking cough that choked his breath would leave him permanently speechless.
George took hold of life and did not lose his ability to speak. When he was barely ten years of age, he experienced what he would later describe as his "conversion". "God came into my heart one afternoon," he tells us, "while I was alone in the loft of our big barn." He remembers kneeling down at the time by a barrel of corn, and praying the best he could. It was an experience that nourished his unwavering faith for the rest of his life.
George, who took the surname of Moses Carver who raised him, had to face difficulties other than his poverty, frail health, and orphaned status. Though he possessed an insatiable appetite for learning, he was often rebuffed because of his colour. One instructor refused to teach him because he was black. Highland University denied him admission for the same reason. He was finally accepted at Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa. The school was named after a Methodist bishop, Mathew Simpson, an Abolitionist and a lifetime friend of Abraham Lincoln. At Simpson he earned a bachelor's and a master's degree in agriculture.
His great ambition, even overriding his dreams as a scientist, was to train and equip young black men and women so that they could become a more vital part of the American work force. He began to realize this ambition when Booker T. Washington invited him to join the faculty at Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama. Carver stayed there for 47 years and bequeathed his life savings of $33,000 to the school.
At the time of his arrival, the Institute's agricultural department consisted of nothing more than a barn, a cow, and a few chickens. Ever resourceful and never discouraged, Carver instructed a small group of students on how to collect materials--pots, pans, tubes, wire, etc.--that could be used to construct laboratory equipment. "Throw nothing away. Everything can be used again!" These words were a virtual lifelong motto for the resourceful and ingenious George Washington Carver.
Carver persuaded southern farmers to diversify and rotate their crops by planting soil-enriching peanuts and sweet potatoes instead of soil-exhausting cotton. His next task was to discover marketable uses for the superabundance of these new crops that were littering the fields. Here is where his resourcefulness proved to be of virtuoso calibre. From the peanut he made cheese, milk, coffee, flour, shampoo, axle grease, pickles, ink, dyes, soap, wood stains, and insulating board, to name but a few of his 300 products. The peanut quickly became a $200 million-a-year industry that not only rejuvenated the cotton fields, but also produced substantial revenues. From the sweet potato came vinegar, molasses, starch, breakfast food, tapioca, mucilage, crystallized ginger, synthetic rubber, and 100 additional products.
Carver was showered with many honours. The Roosevelt Medal, which he received in 1939, bore the citation, "For distinguished service in the field of science, to a scientist humbly seeking the guidance of God and a liberator of men of the white race, as well as the black." These words are most fitting inasmuch as they underscore his faith in God and his service to mankind. Carver's resourcefulness was inseparable from his faith in God's Providence. God loves to hide his secrets; humans love to discover them. George Washington Carver was both a seeker and a finder.
At the time of his death, in 1943, eighteen schools were named in his honour. Carver himself would have deflected the attention to God, who had not forsaken, toward the end of the Civil War, a child who began his sojourn on earth orphaned, enslaved, destitute, abandoned, and sick. God's own resourcefulness will not be outdone. (+)
