Minsk Tractor Works
Minsk Tractor Works (Belarusian: Мінскі трактарны завод, Russian: Минский тракторный завод, МТЗ, MTZ) may refer to two entities: a plant in Minsk, Belarus and a plant association in Belarus.
Minsk Tractor Works is a major industrial enterprise in Minsk, Belarus. It is a part of the association "Производственное объединение 'Минский тракторный завод'", or Proizvodotvennoe Obiedinenie Minskiy Traktorniy Zavod (ПО "МТЗ", PO MTZ), or Industrial Association "Minsk Tractor Works". In addition to the main plant in Minsk, the association includes a number of plants that produce parts and attachable tools for tractors and other vehicles produced by MTZ.
The plant was established on May 29, 1946. The first tractor, the MTZ-2 model, was manufactured on October 14, 1953.
As of 2005 it has nearly 20,000 workers. The plant produces over 62 models of vehicles. Its main civil production has been four-wheeled tractors of model "MTZ", known as Belarus. By 1995 the plant manufactured 3,000,000 tractors. In 1999 it produced 58% of all tractors manufactured in CIS. For several years the plant has been holding 8-10% share of the world market of wheeled tractors.
Mtz tractors were exported to western europe.The most popular exported model was Mtz-50(52).There were no major difrences betven the exported ones and not exported ones ,but one major difence was that the exported tractors were painted red.
Since 2000 the tractors of the plant manufactured for export have been certified for the European Union. During their operation in the era of the Soviet Union, they have been awarded the collective titles of the Order of Lenin and the Order of the October Revolution.
In 2013, the plant tractors were certified in USA by the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) and in Canada by Environment Canada and received full approval for their import and distribution in both countries. Since 2010, distribution of Belarus tractors in USA and Canada is carried on through a local distributor MTZ Equipment Ltd. One of the contributing factors to the return of the MTZ tractors to North America was the fact that the factory started making tractors with compression ignition diesel engines matching the current emissions standards, including Tier 3/4i/4 (USA/Canada) and Euro 3a, 3b, 4 (Europe).

Soldier course
Hi Folks,
I just wanted to clarify two points:
If I'm using an internal hearth (hearth bricks cut to fit inside of the soldier course) does the soldier course bricks get mortered to the layer of insulation?
If I'm using a hearth where the soldiers sit on top of the hearth bricks, do the soldiers get mortered to the hearth bricks?
Thanks in advance,
Re: Soldier course
Hi, Valen. Welcome.
It seems most lately are not mortaring the soldiers down to either the hearth or the inulation layer. They are mortared together (sides). The shear weight will keep it from shifting. The purpose being differential expansion of the dome and floor, theoretically allowing outward dome expansion independent of the floor. It's still not clear how significant this is, as many earlier builders did indeed mortar to either the floor or the insulation layer.
Having said that, I have yet to get to that point of the build, so I'm sure others will chime in.
Re: Soldier course
Yeah...I didn't mortar mine to the floor, just the back. As soon as you mortar the back of the bricks and they are wedged together- it's really strong. This seems to be the way everyone else has done it. I didn't ask why, I jsut followed suit.
Re: Soldier course
Ditto... Don't try to mortar them to the insulation. Also, leave a small gap between the soldiers and floor bricks (I used some strips of corrugated cardboard). This leaves a bit of room for expansion.

1916 Standing Liberty Quarter, MS64+ Full Head1916 25C MS64+ Full Head PCGS. The Charles Barber-designed dimes, quarters, and half dollars were almost universally disliked, and all were replaced in 1916 by new designs of great artistic merit, the Mercury dime and Walking Liberty half dollar by Adolph A. Weinman, the Standing Liberty quarter by Hermon MacNeil. The Barber designs lasted 25 years inclusive. Even though the new Standing Liberty quarter design was well-received, the George Washington birth bicentennial in 1932 would doom MacNeil's design to be among the shortest coin series of the first half of the 20th century, enduring only until 1930, or 15 years inclusive. The 1916 quarter, produced to the extent of a meager 52,000 pieces, made it by far the lowest mintage of the series. It is an issue that is widely sought-after in all grades, a situation that started as soon as the low mintage was known. This is a lovely, glowing coin that exhibits light reddish patina over thick mint luster. There are no obvious abrasions on either side of this high-end piece.(Registry values: N4719) (NGC ID# 242Y, PCGS# 5705)

The ex-husband of Melissa Huckaby, the California woman accused of the assault and murder of 8-year-old Sandra Cantu, said his former wife suffered from depression and other mental health problems but he didn't believe she was capable of violence.
"I do believe the emotional issues came into play quite often in her lifetime," Johnny Huckaby told "Good Morning America's" Chris Cuomo in an exclusive interview today.
"She did suffer from depression. She did have issues with ... her self-persona, who she saw herself as," Huckaby, 26, told "GMA."
Huckaby said his former wife was prescribed medication at one point. "So I imagine at some point in time, she did see somebody for the problems," he said.
ABC News has learned that Huckaby was admitted to a local hospital in the days after Sandra's disappearance and that she'd had at least two other relationships with men she claimed abused her.
Watch the full interview today on "Good Morning America," which airs 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. ET
The couple married in August 2003, when Melissa was five months pregnant. They separated in August 2004 and divorced in September 2005. Melissa was given full custody of their daughter, now 5.
A volunteer Sunday school teacher, Melissa Huckaby was charged Tuesday with murder with the special circumstances of rape with a foreign object, lewd or lascivious conduct with a child under 14 and murder in the course of a kidnapping.
Prosecutors say Huckaby raped and murdered Sandra Cantu, a neighbor in her Tracy, Calif., trailer park, and then stuffed the girl's body into a suitcase and dropped it in an irrigation pond.
"My initial reaction was shock and complete disbelief," Johnny Huckaby said. "It's not something you want to think anyone possibly [is capable] of doing -- let alone somebody that you knew. And that's a mother of your child."
Huckaby said he holds out hope that the allegations against Melissa weren't true, particularly for his daughter's sake.
"I wouldn't wish this on anybody. Especially on the family members of the victim," he said. "But mainly for my daughter. I mean, I do not want my daughter growing up with that type of legacy to look forward to."
Despite her struggle with depression, Huckaby described his ex-wife as a generally "carefree person," not prone to violence. He added that as far as he knew, Melissa was doing well since their split.
"Well from what I understand she went to school and she got a job," he said. "She was making fairly good money. She had a pretty good life going the last I'd heard."
"I don't see this being any type of intentional situation," Huckaby said of the alleged murder.
Huckaby said he was shocked when he saw television coverage of Melissa in the courtroom during her arraignment
"The way she walked out there ... was not the person that I knew," he said. "It was, looks like she was a person in somebody else's body."
Melissa Huckaby, if convicted, could face the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole. Prosecutors have said they have not decided whether they will ask for the death penalty.
Johnny Huckaby, who said he had not talked to his former wife for more than three years, is seeking custody of their daughter. He has remarried and has two other children.

Poster presentation
A number of neurodegenerative diseases, among others Alzheimer's disease (AD), are characterized by aggregation and accumulation of misfolded proteins. These protein aggregates are partly ubiquitinated. Tau protein, which aggregates during AD, is poly-ubiquitinated in AD brain to some extent.
In order to find modifiers of tau aggregation and posttranslational modification we screened for proteins, which interact with tau protein. In previous experiments we showed that the tau protein interacts with the protein axotrophin of unkown function.
Affinity-purified antibodies against axotrophin C-terminus labeled tau protein aggregates in AD brains.
Axotrophin harbours a C4HC3 zinc-finger-like motif in the C-terminus, which is referred to as Ring-variant domain and has been implicated in protein ubiquitination. Recombinant expression and refolding of the C-terminus of axotrophin allowed us to test the E3-ubiquitin-ligase activity. We found that axotrophin shows E3-ubiquitin-ligase activity in combination with several E2 enzymes and becomes autoubiquitinated. Ubiquitination of tau protein but not KLC1, another axotrophin-interacting protein, was mediated by axotrophin.
Further investigation of ubiquitination effects on the protein tau will give more insights about the E3-ubiquitin-ligase axotrophin and especially its role in AD.

Kane and Lynch writer hired for game adaptation follow-up.
UK, June 24, 2009 - It seems videogame adaptation Hitman may be set for a sequel.
IESB is reporting that studio 20th Century Fox has hired writer Kyle Ward to pen a follow-up to the 2007 actioner.
Ward wrote another game-to-film script, the forthcoming Kane and Lynch, as well as Fiasco Heights for Platinum Dunes.
The first Hitman starred Deadwood's Timothy Olyphant as Agent 47, and featured Bond babe Olga Kurylenko as his love interest. Whilst picking up generally negative reviews, the film made almost $100m at the box office.
Seems like a logical step to me, I just hope they don't keep Olyphant and maybe have the next Hitman game ready to go around the same time.
What do you think? Will a successful movie sequel convince Eidos to make another Hitman game?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The typical American family continues to work harder with little to show. Incomes were no higher last year than a year earlier after accounting for inflation, while more people lived in poverty.
Income inequality remained at a record high, with any income gains going only to the rich. The founding principle of our country — equality of opportunity — is now being challenged.
Median household income was about $51,000 last year, a sharp 9 percent drop from the peak of approximately $56,000 reached 13 years ago. This drop has both short-term and long-term causes. Much of the short-term impact traces to jobs. The country has suffered two recessions in the past 13 years, including the one between 2007 and 2009, the deepest one since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Unemployment, though down from its peak, is still relatively high. For example, at the peak of real median household income in 1999, the jobless rate was only about 4 percent. In contrast, last year the unemployment rate was nearly double that figure.
The role of education is clear. Comparing 2012 with 1999, individuals with a bachelor's or higher degree have experienced an increase in unemployment and a loss in real earnings, but the slippage has been much milder than that suffered by individuals without college degrees. For college grads, median real earnings dropped a sizable 10 percent, but they plunged by about 20 percent for those with a high school education or less.
Median household earnings, adjusted for inflation, have increased at an annual rate of less than one-half of a percentage point over the past 45 years. But income inequality has widened, with the top fifth of earners gaining an eight percentage point gain in their income share, while other groups have seen their shares erode.
Some people have been able to migrate up from low salaries to higher incomes as their careers progress. But, for many, especially in the last few years, it seems to have been a "lost decade." The root causes of these longer term trends relate to education, the rise in the services sector with more part-time jobs, the demand for highly skilled workers, global competition, and innovation.
The large, extended weakness in household earnings represents the greatest issue of concern in terms of implications for the nation. Until the economy grows at a faster pace and we restore "full" employment (with the unemployment rate down to around 5.5 percent), employees may see minimal wage gains and only modest gains in total incomes.
Total income equality should not be a goal, since it would dissuade individuals from acquiring more education and skills, working harder, or taking greater risks. America is a country established on the belief in the "equality of opportunity," not "equality of outcomes." Yet, a large disparity in incomes, with most of the gains concentrated at the top, can lead to political instability. People generally are focused on whether their own incomes are rising or falling and how they are doing relative to their neighbors and others. Both trends are now negative — most Americans are at best treading water, while the rich are becoming richer.

Final Fantasy IV lists
Role Playing Games0
My Role Playing Game of Fame
This is a list of games I consider my all-time favorites. They may not all be the best games, or even necessarily good games, but for one reason or another, I enjoyed my time with them enough to include them on this list.
Games I Completed9
Games I've played to the completion of the main storyline or to where I felt I'd experienced most of the game. Since Giant Bomb doesn't have entries for Flash games or apps, here are the Flash games I've played to completion: Achievement Unlocked: po...
My DS Games0
The DS is my favorite platform. These are all the games I own.
What I'm Playing10

AgentJ: Collection
Every Video Game I've Ever Beaten.617
Basically a list of all the games I have beaten in my life. I know it looks short, but that is due to the site not listing a few obscure games and because they don't register multiple versions of a game, instead preferring to umbrella them all into o...
Game Boy games I TOTALLY own3
I mean "own" as in have in my possession; I haven't even beaten Tactics Ogre or Tactics Advance yet.
365 Games To Play Before You Die40
These are all the game that have appeared on my (ir)regular blog of the same title. They are in no particular order and I'm going to update it as I go along.
Games with Music that Haunts Me10
I tend not to think about music so much in games. I guess it's all about how it fits together. But sometimes a track really stands out, and I turn into a Youtube zombie until I can find it. Here are games that spring to mind as having tracks that par...
History of RPG's I've Played and Recommend.14
I've had the benefit of playing a lot of great RPG's over the years. Here's a list of all the games I can remember. The list is not in any particular order, but the first two games are some of my all time favorites.Note: This list will be randomly up...
Games That Shaped My Life0
I was born in 1980, so I've pretty much grown up with the gaming industry. There were a few games before me that I was too young to appreciate, but from the NES on I've had a front row seat to watching games go from text-only to 200 hour behemoths....
My Top 100 Favourite Games of All Time6
This list used to be about my top 50 games ever, but since Giant Bomb wants me to put 95 items into a list for a new quest I thought hey, why the hell not? Keep in mind I revise this list every now and then, check back frequently to see changes. A fe...

My French Game Manual Collection4
Being that I live in Canada, it is a requirement by law that all products have bilingual packaging. This obviously extends to video games and in some cases, their manuals. I first noticed this when I became "hardcore" into video games with the purcha...
Best of 19910
Runner-up: Smash TV
My Epic RPG Rankings6
I've played every game on this list, and completed many/most of them. The rankings still need lots of teasing out. I'll admit, there's a fair amount of nostalgia bias going on, and as you can tell I don't see the PSX era as the Golden Age some do.
RPG Rating - Top 10045
Top 100 RPGs of all time (yes, I play that many RPGs) in my opinion. Mostly JRPGs, as I just prefer the genre. Order does matter. Yes I realize FFIX is the only FF not on the list, that is entirely intentional. Feel free to comment on absent game...
Extensive Ever Expanding List of Every Game Ever Beaten0

Every Game I've Beaten (That I Remember)9
So somewhere in the darkness of the late 90s, I decided that the breadth of games that I had gone through merited a list. Perhaps for absurdity's sake, perhaps to try and convince myself to kick the "childish" habit; whatever the case, I now have pro...
Ever Single Wiki I have Ever Spotlighted9
This is for the weekly Spotlight and not for the old Spotlight. This is more for my own sake as opposed to you entertainment, but you will notice that some of the entries have my commentary attached.
JRPGs That I Have Completed0
Every JRPG that I have finished, in the approximate order that I completed them in. I used my own judgment to decide which titles count as RPGs and which do not.
Japanese Role-Playing Games: I've Played a Few17
A list wherein I recall all the JRPGs I've ever bothered to play to completion. I got curious. Surely I haven't wasted half my life playing these things, right? Of course not. Eep. The list isn't in any particular order. Unless I alphabetized them at...

Including Super Famicom (Japanese) titles that weren't released in North America. My favorite system, along with the Genesis. I used to have a big collection of these. Seeing the prices that they go for these days, I wish that I had kept them. -_-...
Retro games that have Quick Looks0

Obama said to waver on aliens
Posted: August 30, 2014 at 3:14 a.m.
WASHINGTON -- Under pressure from nervous Democratic Senate candidates in tight races, President Barack Obama is rethinking the timing of his pledge to act on his own to reshape the nation's immigration system by summer's end and could instead delay some or all of his most contentious proposals until after the midterm elections in November, according to people familiar with White House deliberations.

Ps. 116 An exuberant thanksgiving to the Lord for delivering the psalmist from death. It is impossible to be precise about the threat that hung over the psalmist (perhaps sickness), but he looks back to his cry of distress to the Lord and proclaims with gladness that God heard him. As a result, he determines to offer sacrifices to the Lord. For the use of this psalm at a feast, see introduction to Ps. 113.

Texas Architect July/Aug 2008: Regional Response
Texas Architect is the official publication of the Texas Society of Architects, each edition features recently completed projects and other editorial content largely written by AIA members in Texas. That collective participation was the basis of Texas Architect's recognition by the national AIA with a 2010 Institute Honor for Collaborative Achievement.

For Wilson, it speaks volumes about the nature of art that one would find Judd's enigmatic pieces in such an isolated place. Wilson recalls the observation of the French artist Jean Dubuffet many years ago: "True art is always to be found where one least expects it, there where no one is thinking of it, or mentioning its name." Because Judd's work is in such a remote part of West Texas, it easily qualifies as being in such an unexpected place. Or at least it used to be. That was truer back in the early 1970s than it is today. Marfa now enjoys a similar demographic to the art- ists' mecca of Taos, with Judd's work as the

Originally written on The Victory Formation | Last updated 1/31/13
Tayshaun Prince was the last remaining member of the Detroit Pistons 2004 Championship team. He was also the only one in the entire starting five from that team that spent his entire career with the Piston. Prince was traded last night, along with Austin Daye, to the Memphis Grizzlies in a 3-team deal. The Pistons received Jose Calderon from the Toronto Raptors, while Rudy Gay went to Toronto. Was this a sad day for Pistons fans? Not for most. The team stinks, and Prince wasn't much of an asset to it anymore. But this one fan who eagerly waited for Prince to run out of the tunnel last night with the team received the bad news and reacted accordingly. It also appears that he may have followed Prince since his days at Kentucky. I used to get jerseys all the time to wear to pro games. I no longer buy them, because I am not sure how long the player will remain with the team. I thought for sure that Prince would be the one to go before the others, besides Sheed.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Even your governor, though, Chairman Priebus, Scott Walker, Republican governor of Wisconsin, has said that Governor Romney has to be much more bold and specific in laying out this case. And he wants to unleash Paul Ryan, the congressman from Wisconsin, as well, thinks that the -- the whole Romney campaign has to be more in the Ryan playbook, has to be putting out more bold and specific ideas. Is he right?
PRIEBUS: Well, I don't think he quite said it that way, George. I know he said that months ago. He's not right, as we sit here today. I mean, the fact of the matter is...
STEPHANOPOULOS: He used the words bold and specific this week.
PRIEBUS: Listen, I'll tell you about specifics. First of all, Mitt Romney talks about -- all the time about reducing the GDP spending from 25 cents on the dollar down to 20, reducing small business taxes from 35 to 25, reducing income taxes across the board by 20 percent.
I mean, for crying out loud, we've got Paul Ryan on the ticket. There can't be anything more specific than a budget that we passed to get a hold of the 10-year debt window, the deficits that are out of control that the president promised that he would fix.
As far as specifics go, we're the only ones talking about how to save Medicare. The president's the one that raided Medicare by $700 billion. I mean, we've got specifics coming out of our eyeballs, George. And if so -- I just think that we need to keep pounding away on those specifics and keep talking about those specifics so that the American people know that -- because I think that people out there, George, have made up their minds that clearly this president didn't fulfill the promises and the mission that he laid out four years ago.
And now, over the next 46 days, we have to lay out to the American people not just that we need to start having people in office that commit to the promises they make, but that we need to lay out the vision and lay out the specifics as we are doing, but more clearly and more consistently on a daily basis. I mean, we have to win the day. We have to win the mission on a daily basis.
STEPHANOPOULOS: A couple more quick questions. Governor Romney put out his tax returns, 2011 tax return on Friday. The Obama campaign say that Romney continues to fail the test of full disclosure. Your response?
PRIEBUS: I think it's totally bogus. I mean, they've given away over 30 percent of their income to charity. The Romneys are -- I just -- we mentioned that I'm in Kenosha and Racine, Wisconsin, today. You know, a lot of communities have families that are extraordinarily generous, that they're the ones that show up and save the symphony, they help build the wing in the library. The Romneys have been successful, but they've also been the types of people in the community that -- that we thank God for every day through their generosity and their kind heart.

I found out recently that I am having a boy. Do you have any good ideas for Japanese names for boys that are easy to pronounce for English speakers and that don't mean something weird in English?
I found out recently that I am having a boy. Do you have any good ideas for Japanese names for boys that are easy to pronounce for English speakers and that don't mean something weird in English?
Well, my family's Japanese names are based on two different roots.
My mother's middle name is Akiko (root aki = bright or shining) from which we have Akio (brother, AH-KEY-OH) and Akira (YDS, AH-KEY-RAH).
My father's middle name is Hisao (root = eternal, forever) HEE-SAH-OH. My sister and my middle names are based off that. My ODS's middle name is Hisao.
Mama to Timothy born 3/28/2006 and Benjamin born 1/1/2009!
I like CHICKENS!
Noah (Although I've heard this is a girl's name in Japan.)
Kobe (Yes, I know it is actually a city )
I always liked Kenta or Kenji. Both typical Japanese boy names and easy to pronounce. We named are son Ryusei...and no one can pronounce it
Posh- SAHM to Ryusei Sept 07- My Microtia baby
�Baby #2 due 1/31/11�
PoshMommy: Now you have me curious if I've got it wrong. Is it rye-u-say?
I like Kenta and Kenji, too! They are really cute. Unfortunately, I was lurking on a baby name site and they were making fun of "Weird but True" names and Kenji was one of the names they made fun of.
I thought of two more names:
Hiro--Hero (My friend named her son that. She told me that, unfortunately, his American daycare workers kept misprouncing it, using a long "i" sound. I thought this was really insensitive of them.)
Thanks for many ideas. Everything sounds good, and I still haven't decided which name to choose. I want to have some more names ready to choose with my husmand, so I am still looking.
It seems that one or two syllable names are easy to pronounce for Americans and easy to find English nick names.
There is a three syllable name, Tomoki, which my friend suggested. Is it difficult for Americans to pronounce? or does it have/suggest some weird meaning in English?
I know several boys named Kei or Kai. They are pretty cute! I really like Koji but know the long o sound is difficult in English. I like Makoto, Masaki and Takuma. With our first we were going to name him Ryo but realized later (and had a girl!) that people would have had trouble with it. We are due next month and have pretty much decided on Taiyo (if it is a boy) although people keep suggesting Hiroshi. We figure people can call him Tai (Ty) for short if necessary. Although that could change any time- we are not due till the 13 and it might be a girl! I lived in Japan and Asia for years so I really like Japanese names but agree they are very difficult for English speakers. My Hubby is Yoshiaki and you should hear people try to say his name!
Good luck- and keep the ideas coming!
Amanda- due Feb 13
The RY sound is kind of like RL sound not sure if that makes sense. I usually just tell people Ri You Say. Every first born male in DH'S family's name starts with Ryu so I went with it. But someone told me that in Japan Ryusei is becoming a popular name. Kind of like the name Aidan is here.
Posh- SAHM to Ryusei Sept 07- My Microtia baby
�Baby #2 due 1/31/11�
I had a friend in college named Hiroumi and I loved his name. No one I knew had trouble pronouncing it after he told us how to say it. I can't remember the meaning, but I remember thinking it was a great name with a great meaning.

Rocks Releases Mamba
The latest version of Rocks cluster distribution – an open source toolkit for real and virtual clusters – has been released.
The recently released Rocks toolkit, code-named Mamba, is available for both CentOS 5.8 (Rocks 5.5) and CentOS 6.2 (Rocks 6.0). According to the announcement, the Rocks-supplied OS rolls have all updates applied as of May 7, 2012.
Rolls extend the system by integrating into the management and packaging mechanisms used by the base software, simplifying installation and configuration of large numbers of computers. Rocks 5 and 6 rolls use the same codebase but are compiled on the different CentOS operating systems, so they are not interchangeable.
Additionally, Xen is no longer supported by RedHat/CentOS 6, and KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine) is only supported for 64-bit machines. KVM is hardware-only virtualization and requires the KVM-related feature to be enabled in the BIOS. New support has been added for Yum repositories.
Mamba is available for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. For more information, see: http://www.rocksclusters.org/wordpress/.

Dear Friends and Prayer Warriors,
First of all, I want to thank you all for your prayers for our family. It has been an interesting few months to say the least. In January, hospice had called mom and I in, to inform us that dad had taken a turn for the worse…They put him on oxygen to help with breathing without choking. He had also stopped eating. They were certain that dad only had a few days left. Now, here we are almost to April, and dad is still with us, reminding me once again that Gods timing is perfect and only HE knows when HE will choose to take His child home. We are thankful for the hospice staff, as well as the nursing home staff, who continue to take such good care of dad. His condition has baffled all of them, since they are not familiar with this Lewy Body Dementia. The one thing that we are sure of, is that this disease is completely different than any other dementia disease that we (or them) have ever seen. One day dad seems like he could go on for awhile and the next, we wonder if he will survive the hour. It has been extremely difficult on mom and I as we feel like a yo-yo in this whole process. We are thankful for Gods provisions for us through this time, but we are both exhausted. I left in January with the Dartts on tour, wondering if when I said goodbye to my dad, if that would be the last time I would see him. Here we are 3 months into the year and he is still hanging on.
Many people have asked about his condition, so I thought I would give a brief physical update. Dad has been pretty much bound to the bed for the past year. They sometimes get him up for showers if they feel he is strong enough, but for most of the time, it is bed baths. His eating patterns change daily. One day he may eat 100% of his meals and other days, maybe nothing at all. It just varies on how he feels. He was choking on food and drink, causing fluid in his lungs and that still continues from time to time. He is no longer on the oxygen, but he does get breathing treatments as needed. His weight loss is what all of us are shocked by. I have never seen my dad so small!! His legs are the size of my wrist! He is down over 240 pounds since this all began.
I have pleaded with the Lord to take him home! There are days I have even begged the Lord to take him…In some ways I feel its the best situation for all of us involved, but obviously there is a reason, a purpose in all of this that God is trying to teach us. What exactly? I have no idea, but I do know that each day that my mom goes in to that nursing home, she is a witness to so many people there. While I was home this last month, I observed something about my mom. From the moment she walks into the nursing home, she knows nearly every single person that is in there…both working staff and residents. She goes by the room, and speaks to each of them on her way in, or on her way out. She has taken CD's to some of them, prays with some of them and communicates to a few that can't even respond. I have seen my mom grow leaps and bounds over the past year. I realize now that last year when hospice had us planning dads funeral, that mom was not ready. She would not have been able to cope. A year later, I see a woman who is stronger than ever, who has grown in her faith and in her christian walk. On our gospel cruise in February, I had my mom speak at the ladies seminar one afternoon. She was so mad at me for making her speak, but I knew it would be good for her. I told her that she just needed to share whatever was on her heart. In the 10 minutes she spoke, she had most of the room in tears and wrapped the whole meeting up with her words of encouragement. I believe that God has something BIG in store for my mom down the road. I don't believe He is finished with her…nor is He finished with any of us. We, as Gods children, are constantly growing, being stretched and molded into His image. Its an ongoing process that will continue as long as we are living here on earth. I am so thankful that God doesn't give up on us when we feel like giving up. This may be one of the reasons God is keeping dad around…for our own growth. As I see him laying there, unable to communicate with us at all, sleeping most of the time, I think wouldn't God have more use for him in the angel choir?! He could be free from the pain, suffering and sorrow here on earth and have his brand new body, free from the troubles here on earth. But maybe its us that really need dad down here, to encourage us to be stronger than we thought we were, and by allowing us to depend more on our Heavenly Father than we ever thought we could.
As things continue to move forward, however long it may take, the needs are still there. At the end of the year, we lost several supporters (monthly giving). I began to fret, worry and stress! But, God has used some amazing people each month to help fill in the gap and continues to supply our needs. Yes, it is month to month. No, nothing is ever completely certain; however, God has brought us this far and I know He will not leave us now. There are many ways I am trying to support mom….I recently added all their music to iTunes for download. The Dartts allow me to sell mom and dads CD's on their sales table each night, but as those CD's continue to run out of stock (like so many have already) iTunes has all 20 recordings that you can download for years of enjoyment. I am thankful for some very special people who made that all possible! With Easter around the corner, albums like 'He's Alive" , "Hallelujah Praise the Lamb", and "Because He Lives" will make your heart rejoice!
Also, I have set up a new form of accepting donations through GoFundMe.com, along with the already set up PayPal account. Using Facebook as a social network to help spread the word. We have many needs right now that seem to overwhelm us. Instead of dwelling on them, we are just asking for help and prayer from you, our friends, and then letting God do the rest. We will continue to walk by FAITH as we have the past many years. I have seen miracle after miracle that God has provided, and I know He has a few more in store for us. So, mom and I will keep pressing on. I will remain on the road with the Dartts ( we are currently on our 4 month tour to the West Coast) until mom calls me home, and needs me there with her. We will walk this road together, finding God's strength, peace and guidance. We will sing praises unto the Lord for His goodness and mercy, for even in this valley we walk, we always have something to be thankful for!! As we look around us, we see so many hurting people. Mom and I are blessed that God picked out this valley for us and has chosen to hold our hand through it all.
And to you….the prayer warrior, the faithful supporter, our friends….We thank you that you have chosen to walk with us. We could not have made it this far without you…your cards, your phone calls, gifts and prayers. Please know we love you! Keep on Keepin' on!
Looking forward & upward.

Learn more about Fallen Earth (PC):
We know it started in Asia, somewhere in India or Pakistan. A bunch of locals came down with some sort of virus that killed just about everyone who came into contact with it. Unfortunately, during the early stages, the virus was highly contagious and the infection was all but undetectable, so it spread fast. The later stages of it caused some sort of muscle contractions that looked like dancing, which reminded someone of a multi-armed Hindu god, and so it got named the Shiva Virus. Despite all the technology and wealth available, people died by the thousands. Then the nukes started going off. Not sure who started it or how, but within a few days, a good chunk of Southern Asia was irradiated wasteland. A couple of invasions and some more nukes later, and the whole world pretty much got screwed.

An average Mental Health Therapist in the United States can expect to take home roughly $41K annually. Earnings generally vary between $32K and $62K per year. While years of experience and the particular employer impact pay for this group, location is the most influential factor. Most workers in this position report high levels of job satisfaction. The vast majority of Mental Health Therapists (83 percent) who participated in the survey are women. Unfortunately, some people in this line of work are without benefits — slightly more than a fifth lack coverage. On the flip side, a strong majority have medical insurance and more than half receive dental plans. Respondents to the PayScale salary survey provided the data for this report.

The descriptor "mental health therapist" includes a variety of professionals that conduct therapy as part of their daily responsibilities, such as clinical psychologists, marriage and family therapists, school therapists, social workers, and general therapists. Therapy includes the use of psychological methods - such as cognitive behavioral therapy and psychoanalysis - to help patients overcome behavioral and psychological obstacles and problems. Techniques used by mental health therapist include cognitive-behavioral therapy, word association, and a wide variety of psychological tests, among many others. A mental health therapist can work in their own practice or for a particular company or organization. As part of a company, the therapist may focus on employees' problems and how they affect productivity and job performance.Read More...
Depending on the type of therapy performed, different educational requirements and credentials are necessary. Academic qualifications range from master's degrees for social workers and marriage and family therapists to doctoral degrees for clinical psychologists. A therapist must be able to listen to an individual, help diagnose or identify issues, and use a variety of techniques to help the patient work through those issues.

Mental Health Therapists who transition into a Clinical Director role may receive large pay increases as the latter position pays an average $70K per year. Career advancement for the typical Mental Health Therapist often leads to becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker or a Clinical Supervisor; median salaries in these positions are $9K higher and $10K higher, respectively.
Universal Health Services, Inc. attracts talent by shelling out the biggest paychecks in the area — the median in that office is $41K.
Survey results imply that Mental Health Therapists deploy a substantial tool kit of skills at work. Most notably, skills in Spanish Language, Patient Counseling, Family Practice, and Substance Abuse are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts in pay of 9 percent. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Clinical Supervision. Those proficient in Case Management are, more often than not, also skilled in Clinical Psychology.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Mental Health Therapists with more experience do not necessarily bring home bigger paychecks. In fact, experience in this field tends to impact compensation minimally. People who have worked for fewer than five years bring home $40K on average. Median compensation in the five-to-10 year group, however, is higher at approximately $44K. Mental Health Therapists see a median salary of $49K after reaching one to two decades on the job. Folks who have racked up more than 20 years in the field report incomes that aren't that much higher than less experienced individuals' earnings; the veterans make just $51K on average.
Home to some of the best pay for Mental Health Therapists, Los Angeles offers exceptional salaries, 18 percent above the national average. Mental Health Therapists can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like New York (+15 percent), Baltimore (+13 percent), Minneapolis (+4 percent), and Philadelphia (+3 percent). Cleveland is home to the smallest salaries in the field, lagging the national average by 11 percent. Two other places where employers offer below-median salaries are Indianapolis (10 percent less) and Denver (8 percent less).

In this course, attention will be given to different aspects of the relationship between technology and society and directions for the future. The nature of technology and the process of innovation are driven by social influences and pressures. Those social influences mean that technology reflects and often reinforces the structures of social, economic, and political power in any society. Students will examine the way in which technology is affected at a fundamental level by the social contexts in which it develops, challenging the common view that technological change follows its own logic of process independent of human actors. Students will develop critical thinking skills to understand how technology is shaped by social factors and how technology contributes to shaping society by examining various case studies.

Students in Grade Ten are expected to continue to increase their analytical skills, reading increasingly complex texts across all genres and writing cogent, well-supported analysis and argument essays using evidence from those texts. Students at this level can trace the development of a theme or argument through a text and provide an objective summary of the text without editorial bias. Through reading and writing and the use of appropriate reference materials, the student acquires academic and other contextual vocabulary, showing independence in acquisition and usage. In the early high school years particular focus is brought to world culture and how points of view can vary with cultural experience, as well as how interpretations can vary between artistic mediums. In Grade Ten, students will create more complex arguments, addressing counter-arguments and using sophisticated structures and formal manuscript styles. Their expository essays will convey increasingly complex ideas, excluding extraneous details and using graphic and digital elements to convey information. Narratives will develop personal experiences employing dialogue, pacing, description, reflection, and multiple plot lines. Students are proficient by Grade Ten in all steps of the writing process editing effectively and using digital publishing options. Research using appropriate formats for citation and evaluating sources is routine. Through repeated exposure, students will become confident presenters and participants in discourse with both peers and experts.

The right snorkel for young swimmers
from Topeka, KS
on 11/23/2009
My daughter's swim coach prefers the jr. snorkel for young swimmers because their lung capacity isn't as strong as an older swimmer. My daughter is 12 and we are happy that we ordered the jr. snorkel.
Highly recommended
from Fenwick, Michigan
on 7/9/2014
My son is 9 and needed a snorkel for his swim team. This snorkel is a perfect size for him. He says it is very comfortable to wear while swimming. Excellent quality.
Just what we needed
from GA

My daughter just turned 9 and needed one for swim team. I wasn't sure about the size, but based on other reviews ordered this one. It's perfect.
Works great!
from Mandeville, LA
on 5/2/2013
Wonderful aide for young swimmers. They keep their heads down and swim much longer; eliminating much of the playing from team practice while improving stroke.
generally good, but a little short
from ON, Canada
on 4/23/2013
My son said he always got water in the tube when he was practicing butterfly in the team. I think it's due to the short tube. The other kids using the non-junior Finis snorkel didn't have this problem.
Love it!

Excellent quality, cheap noseclip
Darryl Zurn
from Hudson WI
on 12/6/2012
The one-piece plastic nose clip broke as my daughter was trying to get it on for the very first time. Broke right in two before she could even get it on her nose.Otherwise, quality seems very good. Several "training sessions" in the bathtub proved the snorkel could take multiple mishandlings and still perform very well. Except the nose clip, of course.
good product
Spring eagle
from Greeley, CO
on 10/7/2010
My kids love this product. But my son broke the nose clip the day we received it. They don't seem need it at swimming practice.
from Boston, MA

It works just fine, never leaks, stays right where I want it to.
Necessary for training
Grace A.
from Gainesville, GA
on 2/9/2010
My coach required us to get a snorkle for training. I'd used the regular Finis in practice. I'm a petite person, and I really like this Finis Jr. better. If you're a competitive swimmer like me, you won't need the nose plugs that come with it.
Finis Jr. Snorkel

Fits great on my 10 year old. Has trouble blowing all the air out because of the curve on the end.

This product is perfect for our age group team. Our kids range in age from 6 to 10 and it works perfect for them. Bonus, it comes with a nose piece that works good!
Sturdy and fits nicely

My 6 yr old grand-daughter can easily use this snorkel.

Noelle Z.
from Hood River, OR

Good concept but difficult for a child to use. My 7 year old didn't have enough room on her face for her goggles and the strap across her forehead.
recommend buying replacement valve
from Connecticut
on 10/31/2008
My 8 yr old uses this snorkel at swim team practice. It works fine, fits her head nicely and is relatively sturdy with one exception. The Purge valve is made of very soft, thin silicone that easily rips, especially when played with by an 8 year old! We ended up having to order a replacement valve after only one week of use. The valves are inexpensive but shipping is not! I strongly recommend purchasing an extra valve or two when you buy the snorkel.

Thank you for spreading hope. Drs don't know everything! The important thing is to try everything and never give up!
