Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi, I'd like to help you with your question.
The fact that you are concerned enough to bring this topic up with your wife says a lot about how her drinking is affecting you, if not her at this point.
There are two points that are problematic in this situation. One, you are concerned about her drinking and she is not listening to you. Either she is an alcoholic and is in denial, or she isn't concerned with your feelings on her alcohol use or in any other situation in your relationship. If you see signs that other concerns you have in the relationship are being ignored, this needs addressed. If you wife is in denial, this is a sign she is an alcoholic and does not want to face the consequences of her use.
Two, the fact that you feel she has worked her way up to 4 to 7 beers. Someone who is increasing their use of alcohol is in danger of alcohol abuse or addiction.
If your wife refuses to get help, you can still work on this issue. Contact Al Non at http://www.al-anon.alateen.org/ for ways you can help yourself and your wife. They can help you work on your feelings about her drinking and also help you determine if she may have an alcohol problem.
Denial is a very difficult thing to work through. If your wife is alcoholic, then there are ways you can help her. Intervention is one. Getting support for yourself is another.
Here are some books that can help you. One is called How Al-Anon Works for Families & Friends of Alcoholics by Al-Anon Family Groups. Another is Addict In The Family: Stories of Loss, Hope, and Recovery. by Beverly Conyers. You can find these on Amazon.com or your local library may have them available.
I hope this has helped you,

I once asked this question but does anyone using this package?
Vi0L0 commented on 2015-06-04 13:20
updated to 15.5-1 - AKA "nothing interesting":
- it doesn't support xserver 1.17
- looks older than ubuntu vivid driver which we are using ie in catalyst-test@AUR
- i've added initial support for 4.1 kernel (using kolasa's patch, tested on 4.1rc5)
- rel notes: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDCatalyst15-5LINReleaseNotes.aspx

Vi0L0 commented on 2014-10-03 20:54
updated to 14.9-1:
- official, stable release
- it doesn't support xserver 1.16
- I added my fresh patch for kernel 3.17 rc6.
Notes about the patch:
1. it probably wont work on 3.17 kernels older than rc6 because I don't know how to tell preprocessor about rc version :P
2. im unable to test resume/suspend
3. im not the developer, just pressing random keys :P so the patch could be less/more noobish :-)

Vi0L0 commented on 2013-10-27 18:36
upgraded to 13.4-15:
- added staticlibs and libtool to the options and it fixed the whole libfglrx_ip.a bug
- the package is a lot bigger because I added !strip to the options, it's leaving symbols in the libraries so the package (and libs themselves) are bigger - but it could be useful, especially in some debugging

but should stay until sysvinit isn't dead

After reading last www entries i was thinking about removing this pkg...
But still i had some hope and looks like somethings going on with sysvinit, ie today stativ has added sysvinit-scripts package to the AUR
My proposal: let's wait :>

Hey Vi0L0,
What's the state of Catalyst-daemon, now that we have completely switched to systemd? Just wondering, because the Wiki still has information on it but currently we can't use it.

Silent update.
I didn't like the way how ati's code was cluttering PKGBUILDs or catalyst_build_module scripts, so i turned this code into ati_make.sh file and import it's content with . (source)
New way also fits to ati license better... ;P
Oh and now all AUR catalyst's packages have 2.6.38 patch so they support 38 rc3, rc4 and probably newer rcs (no rc1, rc2 support, but hey rc3 and rc4 are much better).
Change is mainly cosmetical, there's no need to update packages.
Vi0L0 commented on 2010-09-29 14:24
@toffyrn: well, maybe yes, but i decided to not add it, since this solution is targeted more likely for multi-kernels systems, and not everybody is using stock kernel26.
Instead there's a info in post install/upgrade which is telling that you need kernel's headers
toffyrn commented on 2010-09-29 13:41
Perhaps kernel headers should be added to dependencies? Without it build fails...

What an informative website! Being a woman (ha, ha!!), I would never have attempted a microwave repair on my own if I hadn't read about all of the other successful, easy repairs. First, I shut the circuit breaker to my microwave. Then I removed the 5 screws holding in the bottom panel, unplugged the motor and removed the one screw holding the motor in place. I attached the new motor, plugged it back in and put all screws back. The hardest part of my whole repair was removing the bottom panel because it was so tightly wedged between my recently refaced cabinets. Other than that, the repair was a "piece of cake". The part came a few days after I ordered, which was also a big plus.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
removed the bottom plate 7 screws, unplugged the wire connector from the motor , on the inside of the micro i removed the plastic piece that rotates the glass table, i then removed 1 screw holding the motor and reinstalled the new one!

The nation's best amateur skateboarders will come together to compete in the Zumiez Best Foot Forward Finals in Detroit, MI. It all goes down from 2-10PM on Saturday, August 9, 2014 at 220 Bagley Ave. The Michigan Theatre will come alive with mind blowing skateboarding on a custom built skate course as well as live performances by Odd Future Records' Trash Talk, and Detroit's own punk rock legends DEATH, sponsored by Converse.
The Zumiez Best Foot Forward crew has spent the last 4 months crisscrossing America, hosting free contests at some of the best skateparks in the country. Zumiez is providing the winners from each of those stops an all-expense paid trip to the Motor City for the final showdown, where those 37 skaters will compete for a shot at a Bones sponsorship, cash prizes, and a cross country exposure trip for the top 3 to shoot footage at the best street spots and private parks on the planet.
After spending the summer celebrating classic Americana, Zumiez Best Foot Forward is invading the historic Michigan Building, one of the most storied venues in US History and the birthplace of the American road trip. It is the site of Henry Ford's first auto shop, and was a premiere event space since the 1920's. The building has lain dormant for nearly 40 years, until now. Admission is free but space is limited, get there early and witness history in the making!

William Goebel
Jan. 4, 1856
Lackawanna County
Pennsylvania, USA
Feb. 3, 1900
Franklin County
Kentucky, USA
Governor of Kentucky. One of the most controversial politicians in his state's history, he served as Governor for four days in 1900. He remains the only Governor in the US who was assassinated while in office. The son of German immigrants, Goebel was born in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania, and raised in Covington, Kentucky after the Civil War. He graduated from the Cincinnati Law School in 1877 and became a prominent attorney in Kentucky's Kenton County, often fighting big business interests. From 1887 he was a member of the State Senate and was its President pro tempore from 1894 until his death. A progressive Democrat, he championed railroad regulation, trade unions, and expanded civil rights for women and African-Americans, and sought to dismantle corporate monopolies within the state. But his single-minded pursuit of power and cold, abrasive personality made him many enemies. On April 11, 1895, Goebel killed political rival
John Sandford
in a gunfight (some called it a duel) in Covington; he was tried for murder and acquitted on the grounds of self defense. Around this time the Republicans began gaining ground in Kentucky's political machine and Goebel's partisan tactics grew more brazen. In 1898 he overrode a Governor's veto and pushed through the Goebel Election Law, which created a commission, hand-picked from the Democrat-controlled General Assembly, to select all county election officials and review the results of state elections. Republicans claimed that in practice this would amount to one-party rule in Kentucky and even some Democrats questioned its legality. (The law would be repealed in 1900). Goebel's ruthless maneuvering to secure the nomination for the 1899 Governor's race divided his party even further, and tensions ran high among the voting public. The Republican candidate,
William S. Taylor
, won the election by a narrow 2383 votes and took office in December, but Goebel contested the results, charging ballot fraud. He received threats that if he won on appeal he would be killed, and was assigned bodyguards. On January 30, 1900, as Goebel walked to the State Capitol building, he was shot in the chest by a sniper and rushed from the scene for treatment. Declaring a state of emergency, Governor Taylor called for the militia to occupy Frankort and attempted to have the Assembly meet in London, Kentucky, a Republican stronghold, but its Democratic majority ignored the order. The following day the legislature announced it had thrown out enough disputed votes to declare Goebel the winner, and he was sworn in as Governor on his deathbed. His only acts in that capacity were to countermand the state of emergency decree and order the Assembly back to the capitol. Taylor refused to recognize the ruling. The militia remained in Frankfort, and as armed citizens on both sides of the issue began mobilizing in the streets Kentucky seemed poised on the brink of Civil War. Goebel died from his wounds on February 3, making a political solution to the crisis more feasible. The election appeal was upheld over Taylor's protests, and Goebel's running mate,
J. C. W. Beckham
, succeeded him as Governor. In the Spring of 1900 sixteen men were indicted for complicity in Goebel's murder, including Taylor, who avoided arrest by fleeing to Indiana. Five stood trial and three were convicted: Kentucky Secretary of State
Caleb Powers
, accused of masterminding the plot; Jim Howard, the alleged gunman; and
Henry Youtsey
, charged as Howard's accomplice. But due process in the trials and subsequent appeals was so muddied by corrupt partisanship (including biased judges, rigged juries, and perjured testimony) that it became impossible to determine guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. In 1908 and 1909, Governor
Augustus E. Willson
pardoned all but one of those who had been indicted for the assassination. Henry Youtsey, who did not appeal his conviction, was paroled in 1918 and pardoned in 1919. With so much conflicting evidence surrounding the case, most historians believe that Goebel's killer or killers will never be identified with certainty. A monument to the Governor stands on the grounds of the former State Capitol building, just yards from where he fell.

Wisconsin senior guard Kirk Penney was named an honorable mention All-American by the Associated Press Thursday. Penney, one of just 11 players in the country to average at least 16.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists, led the Badgers to the Big Ten title and an appearance in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament this season.
Penney was a unanimous first-team all-Big Ten selection this year, becoming the first Badger since 1952 to earn first-team all-Big Ten honors in consecutive seasons. He was also a first-team all-region choice by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, the U.S. Basketball Writers Association and the Basketball Times.
Penney finished his career with 1,454 points, good for sixth on Wisconsin's all-time top-scorers list. His 217 career 3-pointers are second most in school history, and his 83 wins were the most by any player in school annals. This season, he averaged a team-best 16.2 points to go with a team-leading 100 assists. His 6.0 rebounds per game were second best on the squad. Penney played 1,119 minutes this season, second most in school history.

Five justifications for alarm management
Does the financial ROI combined with the overall operational benefits justify the expense of implementing an alarm management solution? This article finds that the most effective way is to perform an alarm assessment.
By Jeff Gould
THE MOST OFTEN asked question by anyone considering an alarm management project is probably, "How do I justify alarm management?" There are plenty of articles written on how an alarm system should perform but how can a company justify and validate the necessity to do alarm management?
Justification is not just financial ROI; rather, it is the combined benefits and needs associated with solving a problem. The question that needs to be answered is this: does the financial ROI combined with the overall operational benefits justify the expense of implementing an alarm management solution?
The most effective way to justify alarm management is to perform an "alarm assessment." This is the first step in the six phases of any successful alarm management project:
- Benchmark & Assessment
- Alarm management philosophy
- Alarm analysis / rationalization.
- Implementation and execution
- Continuous improvement
- Maintenance
This article will examine the first phase, Benchmark & Assessment, as it relates to justifying alarm management projects. For more information about the other Alarm Management Project phases, please refer to Senior Applications Engineer, Michael Marvin's whitepaper, "Five Steps: Integrating Alarm Management to Boost Production."
The Alarm Management Assessment
Alarm management assessment is comprised of three sub-sets:
- Technical Benchmark & Assessment
- Business Justification
- Project Plan
The Technical Benchmark & Assessment
Technical Assessment addresses measurable and philosophical information associated with the current alarm system. Quantifiable metrics are based on static alarm configurations (static alarms are the alarms that are configured on an analog or digital input, or control block on a control system) and real-time, or dynamic alarms (alarms that ring in and appear on the operator's console). Assessing the static alarms reveals whether too many alarms are configured, thus generating too many real-time alarms for the operators to handle. Similarly, by analyzing real-time alarms, operators can determine whether there are too many alarms (irrelevant or nuisance alarms) in normal load conditions and during upset situations.
For the sake of simplicity, the target alarm counts for each metric are summed up in the following two figures.
NOTE: A common misperception is that the target average must be 144 alarms per day. If the plant is operating normally 24 hours a day and 7 days a week then 144 is the correct objective. If, however, upsets occur as is the case with the majority of facilities, then a more typical average number will likely be around 200 alarms per day.
A common pitfall when benchmarking and assessing an alarm system is the tendency to not collect event information. The top 100 operator actions that are archived into an alarm and event historian, as well as the incidents that are logged into the incident database, will provide significant information to apply to the creation of an accurate business case for alarm management.
The last component of Benchmark and Assessment is a review of the alarm philosophy, assuming one exists, to determine whether it sufficiently outlines management of change procedures (who is changing parameters, when it happens and why it is being done) and whether philosophy objectives are met. Finally, interviews and reviews should be completed to assess the operators' perception and experience with the current alarm system.
Only after this information has been collected, can the next subset, Business Justification, be completed effectively and easily.
The Business Justification
Alarms are designed to help the operators mitigate safety, environmental and financial loses. Incident investigations repeatedly show a very real financial loss associated with any safety and environmental incident, therefore, any properly configured alarm that is missed by an operator has a financial loss associated with it. All too often, it is the dramatic events that are scrutinized and brought to attention, yet it is the small, lower priority alarms that create a significant compounding financial effect. To accurately define the priority of alarms, all alarms must have an Impact Category assigned to them to determine both the level and area of concern.
Once the consequence of not responding to an alarm is understood, the time that an operator has to respond to the alarm must be considered. The alarm priority is set taking both of these elements into effect.
Since every alarm should alleviate loses, improper alarm configurations end up continually costing the plant profitability and opportunity. Based on this understanding of what an alarm is and the significance of each alarm, a successful business plan can be created and a justification can now be made regarding the size and scope of an alarm management solution. An effective guideline to follow is that each successful justification must address one or all of the following three key concerns:
- Environment, health, and safety issues
- Insurance costs
- Plant and operational reliability
Justification #1: Regulatory Requirements

PONTOTOC — Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) announced that the Economic Development Administration is providing a $189,000 grant to assist the Three Rivers Planning and Development District (TRPDD) in developing and implementing a comprehensive economic development strategy.
The federal grant will support an overall $270,000 project to establish an economic development framework to support job creation and investment in Calhoun, Itawamba, Lafayette, Lee, Monroe, Pontotoc and Union counties, which are represented by the district.
The grant will be matched with $81,000 in non-federal funding. The grant will cover a three-year span to facilitate a continuous planning process. The federal funding derives from funding approved by Congress for the EDA in the FY2010 Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations Bill.
In its application to the EDA, the TRPDD indicated that the grant would be an investment that is "market-based and results-driven in that it seeks to increase higher-skill, higher-wage jobs and private-sector investment in the region" by promoting a comprehensive economic development strategy that will "help TRPDD as it looks beyond the immediate economic horizon, anticipates economic changes and helps diversify the local and regional economies."

Superstars are the lifeblood of the NBA. The sport has been built on the personalities of its elite performers, and their success and popularity often drives the success and popularity of the league.
The attention they bring to the game and to their teams often brings with it residual benefits to those who surround them. It's why casual basketball fans recognize names like Steve Kerr or Derek Fisher, players who weren't stars in their own right, but who benefited by having their exploits illuminated on the grand stage by virtue of their association with the superstars they played with.
The great superstars elevate the play of their teammates, making them better players capable of performing at levels higher than their individual talents would probably dictate otherwise. When combined with the added attention of playing alongside a superstar, this often results in tangible, financial benefits; it's like being able to eat leftovers off the superstars' gourmet feast. When I worked with the Phoenix Suns, we used to joke that Steve Nash ought to receive a cut of his teammates' new contracts, as he helped them inflate their market values. For example, Steven Hunter went from earning the veteran's minimum to a five-year, $16.5 million contract coming off a season in which he played less than 14 minutes per game with Nash.
However, there is another unlikely beneficiary of experiencing the performance inflation and added attention from being associated with a superstar: the opponent. Players who raise their level of play while matched up with superstars during the playoffs can earn themselves larger contracts by elevating their profiles in the views of the public, the media and (most importantly) the decision-makers who hand out the contracts.
There is no greater superstar in the league than LeBron James, and he unquestionably makes his teammates better players. But here are three opponents who have had strong showings guarding "The King" during the 2013 playoffs and stand to benefit immensely:
Jimmy Butler | Chicago Bulls
Eligible for extension: Summer 2014
2012-13 salary: $1.1 million
Expected Average Annual Value (AAV) of extension: $6.5 million/year

In most organizations, negotiation strategy is thought to derive from business strategy, yet negotiations from an anthropologist's viewpoint are much more idiosyncratic and complex. In order to exploit negotiation as a source of competitive advantage, leaders must focus on ways to enhance the organization's support of its negotiators. This chapter describes the characteristics of successful negotiating organizations and outlines the authors' nine step plan for building a world-class negotiating organization. This chapter was originally published as chapter 2 of "Built to Win: Creating a World-Class Negotiating Organization."

Infinity Blade 2 was given away free of charge on the App Store last week in celebration of the store's fifth birthday and, according to Chair Entertainment publicist Laura Mustard, shifted 5.7 million copies during the seven days of the promotion alone.
1.7 million of them came during the first day.
Infinity Blade 2 offers in-app purchases to bolster its income, something which could generate significant revenue when there are 5.7 million new players. However, Chair doesn't place too much importance on in-app purchases.
"While we normally notice an increase at times when we've done free promotions, we don't think it's significant, because the game is balanced in a way that does not require any IAP,"" explained Mustard.
The Infinity Blade 2 offer had a positive knock-on affect on the first game, which sold 2.5 times what it achieved in the week prior.
All Things D reports that the two games combined have now sold almost 50 million copies.

What is an interest rate lock?
An interest rate lock is a mechanism that guarantees your selected interest rate will be applied to your mortgage. Unless your rate is locked, your interest rate is unprotected and can change daily, sometimes throughout the day until you instruct your lender to lock you in.
When is the best time to lock?
There's no hard and fast answer for this question. Interest rates change constantly, and trying to time the market is nearly impossible. What is most crucial is that you and your loan officer are confident that your loan will be able to close within the time frame of your lock period.
Lock Rules:
There are no general lock regulations that lenders must follow but there are common guidelines most lenders adhere to:
• The loan application must be received and reviewed by the lender
• The loan application has been documented and verified
• The loan application meets the criteria set for the rate
If an interest rate requires a credit score of 740 with a minimum of five percent down the lender will need to have your application, your credit report and all documentation required for the loan. This also means your appraisal must be completed and reviewed by the lender.
Some lenders may allow a lock prior to this documentation review but if any of the information on the application is found to be in error and does not match the original application the lender is under no obligation to honor your lock.
You're In Control:
A mortgage company will not lock in your mortgage rate until you instruct them to do so. Regardless of any advertised rate you see or the rate quote you receive from the lender until you give specific instructions to lock your rate will be unprotected.
Most lenders issue a Lock Agreement at the time of the original loan application for you to review, spelling out their own lock in requirements. Lenders will ask that you review the document, sign and return to them, keeping a copy for yourself.
Some lenders have a "float down" policy which allows a borrower to lock in a lower rate should interest rates drop after the rate was locked in, but those programs are not common. If a float down program is available, it will likely have an associated cost.
It's also important to remember that interest rates can affect your ability to qualify for a mortgage. When rates are higher borrowers can qualify for less and when rates are lower borrowers can qualify for a larger loan amount. This is important if you are just barely qualifying for the amount requested. For example, if interest rates today are at 4.00 percent and you are approved, barely, then you should strongly consider locking in your rate. Your lender will be able to tell you at how high rates can be before you're no longer qualified.
Lock Terms:
A rate lock is a way of shifting interest rate risk from the borrower to the lender. In order to compensate for the risk, the lender will charge more for a rate lock as the length of the lock period increases.
Lenders can increase the price of a longer term lock by adjusting the points paid or adjusting the interest rate offered.
When interest rate locks expire, or are "blown," most policies dictate that you will take the higher of your initial locked rate or current market rates. This keeps borrowers from allowing their rates to expire in an attempt to obtain the new, lower rates.
The Answer?
Deciding when to lock can keep you up at night. After all, if you lock and rates move down then you've lost the lower rate. On the other hand, if you lock and rates move up, you're protected. Now ask yourself this question: if you were to lock and you locked at the wrong time, which way would you rather be wrong? The prudent answer is locking then rates moving downward. If you lock and rates move upward, you made a good choice. If you don't lock and rates move upward, you may no longer qualify for the mortgage.
When is the ideal time to lock in a rate for a purchase? No one can anticipate what rates will do in the future. But to obtain the best possible outcome make sure you're in a position to lock, based upon your lenders lock guidelines. Get your documentation to your lender as soon as you can and understand in advance at what point you're able to lock. Choosing a loan program and locking in your interest rate are two of the most important decisions you can make with your loan. Make the right ones. Lock it right.

IAEA Chief Hopes Tehran Meeting Will Aid Diplomatic Efforts
November 29, 2012
by Charles Recknagel
VIENNA -- The UN's nuclear watchdog agency says it hopes a meeting in Tehran next month with Iranian officials will strengthen diplomatic efforts to end the nuclear crisis.
IAEA Director-General Yukiya Amano said in Vienna on November 28 that his deputies will meet with Iranian nuclear officials in Tehran on December 13.
Amano added that "the IAEA remains firmly committed to dialogue. There is an opportunity to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue diplomatically. Now is the time for all of us to work with a sense of urgency and to seize the opportunity for a diplomatic solution."
Amano earlier said he was "unable to report any progress" on getting Iran to cooperate on answering questions about the possible military dimensions of its nuclear program.
"The agency has continued its intensive efforts to resolve all of the outstanding issues related to Iran's nuclear program," he said. "However, no concrete results have been achieved."
Amano also said international sanctions against Iran were having no visible impact on its nuclear program.
Amano said the IAEA delegation would try to reach an agreement in Tehran over a structured approach to Iran answering all outstanding questions about the possible military dimensions of its nuclear program.
He also said the IAEA would use the meeting to again request access for inspectors to Iran's Parchin site, where the agency believes Iran may be removing evidence of past nuclear work.
"Despite repeated requests, Iran has still not granted to the agency access to the Parchin site. Satellite imagery shows extensive activities at the Parchin site, including the removal and replacement of considerable quantities of earth," Amano said.
"This could make it much more difficult for us to undertake effective verification. Nevertheless, it is important that agency inspectors should have access to the site."
The IAEA believes Iran carried out tests a decade ago at Parchin relevant to the development of an explosive device. However, Tehran has refused to let inspectors visit areas of the military and research facility where the agency suspects the tests took place.
Iran backed away from a tentative deal reached by Amano in Tehran earlier this year to permit expanded international inspections of its nuclear facilities. Since then, the IAEA has expressed continued frustration with the lack of cooperation from Iran.
But Amano said the window for a diplomatic solution to the Iran nuclear crisis remained open because all sides still sought a peaceful resolution to it.
Adding Enrichment Capability
The two-day board of governors gathering in Vienna, which ends on November 30, comes after the IAEA reported earlier this month that Iran could soon start operating many more centrifuges at its underground Fordow facility.
The IAEA reported in its latest quarterly report on November 16 that Iran was poised to double the number of centrifuges in operation at Fordow to 1,400 compared to 700 previously.
The Fordow facility enriches uranium to the 20 percent enrichment level, a short hop technically from the higher levels of enrichment needed to produce nuclear weapons material.
Western countries worry that increasing the number of operational machines at the bunker-like facility brings Iran closer to having a breakout capability for producing atomic bombs. However, experts believe Iran still remains years away from having a workable nuclear arsenal.
Tehran denies any allegations it is seeking a nuclear weapons capability, saying its program is entirely for peaceful purposes.
The 35-nation governing board of the IAEA rebuked Iran at its last meeting in Vienna in September by expressing "serious concern" about Iran's continued enrichment of uranium despite UN Security Council calls for it to suspend its controversial nuclear activities.

text: You'll definitely be able to tell if you go overboard with protein. Unfortunately a lot of this is trial and error. I'm able to do a strong PT once a week and rotate in a protein heavy RO once or twice each week in addition. I basically figured it out by increasing the strength and duration of my PTs and not seeing any signs of too much protein. Then I started adding the protein RO several weeks ago.

The Day After
Cindi and I were up first thing and off to the Y. I figure if we were able to faithfully maintain our exercise routine THIS week, we'd be able to do it through anything! We got home and visited a bit with Sis and Jimmy and then gave some serious thought to lunch. We decided on breakfast. Bekah made the pancakes. I did the sausage. Cindi made the eggs and fixed some low-carb pancakes for us. The afternoon was entirely leisurely - just visiting and talking or resting. Then to visitation for Doris - still so hard to fathom she's gone. On the way home we decided to eat out. We ended up at Zapatas and I had an excellent dish of shrimp in very hot sauce; Cindi stuck with our usual standby - fajitas (we just don't use the tortillas). Back home we spent the evening finishing up some pies and visiting more around the table. It's only nine and yet we're all pretty wiped and thinking about bed. Sis and Jimmy are leaving tomorrow (a day earlier than they had planned originally) because of Jimmy's work. Bummer. Still, we've been so blessed having this time with them.

What do you do for low-carb pancakes?
I'm thinking about doing all meat and greens for Advent. Abstaining from meat really isn't a stretch for me, but giving up bread, pasta and fruit is KILLER.
- William Weedon said...
We use ground flax seed and almond flour and we mix it some pumpkin with pumpkin spices. Very tasty!

Lisa and I would hit up Zapatas after church at Hamel. We loved the cheap buffet.
BTW, we are so thankful for the time we spent at St. Paul. What a wonderful place!

MYRTLE BEACH, SC JULY 23, 2014 – Last Friday, July 19, Vice President and General Manager of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans Andy Milovich accepted a challenge to receive an in-game prostate exam while singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame". The catch? Fierce Fallon's Facebook Page had to reach 10,000 'Likes' by Thursday at 12:00 PM EST. Supports quickly jumped onboard and blew past the 10K goal shortly after 4:00 PM on Monday afternoon. Milovich is now set to receive the exam during tomorrow's Prostate Cancer Awareness Night. The exam will be administered by Dr. Glenn Gangi of Atlantic Urology Specialists in Conway, SC.
Thursday's timeline of events will include Milovich on-air with Pelicans Radio Broadcaster Nathan Barnett before and after the exam as well as live video and radio broadcast of Milovich during the exam. The exam and the rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" will be broadcast live during the Pelicans play-by-play broadcast of the game.
"The promotion is humorous in nature but the exam is not, " stated Senior Director of Community Development Jen Borowski. "Andy is a trooper for sharing such a personal experience live. We are taking every precaution to keep the video and photos of the exam respectful to both Andy and our fans."
The challenge began Friday afternoon with a tweet and Facebook post by the Pelicans. It wasn't long before social media was a blaze with re-tweets, 'Likes', and more. ESPN Reporter Darren Rovell was the first person with a mass Twitter following to tweet about the event, and as Milovich stated earlier today during an interview on WRNN Hot Talk, "One Darren Rovell tweet later and here we are."
Over the past few days Milovich has done multiple interviews with media outlets across the country. At one point, during his interview with Mighty 1090 (San Diego's ESPN station), the GM of the Lake Elsinore Storm, and friend of Milovich, Dave Oster pledged to do the same if Fallon's page reached 12K Likes.
Through it all Milovich has maintained that, "If 'taking one for the team' keeps one child from growing up fatherless, then it will be worth it."
Fans can find the broadcast locally on the radio on ESPN Myrtle Beach 1450 WRRN AM and online at ESPNMyrtleBeach.com, on the TuneIn Radio App, and via the MiLB First Pitch App. A live video broadcast of the game and the exam is available with a subscription to MiLB.tv, which is available now for $29.99 for the remainder of the season or on a monthly plan of $12.99, and can be purchased at www.MiLB.tv.
- Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S.
- With early detection prostate cancer is often treatable, leading to a 97% cure rate.
The Fierce Fallon Facebook Page belongs to Carolina Forest 10-year old Fallon Emery who is battling brain cancer. In December 2013, Fallon was diagnosed with brain cancer. Fierce Fallon's Facebook Page has showcased Fallon's courageous battle and incredible spirit. The community has rallied around Fallon and her Facebook Page to show both personal and financial support for Fallon and her family.
The team's Strike Out Cancer efforts at Thursday's game will feature a Prostate Exam Reminder Giveaway (a.k.a. a foam finger with a blue reminder ribbon) to the first 1,000 men 18 and older. Ed Randall's Bat for a Cure will also be on hand auctioning off a team signed bat and providing potentially lifesaving information.
July 24 is also a Thirsty Thursday, featuring $1.00 Bud and Bud Light Drafts from 6:00-8:00 PM, presented by Celebrations Nitelife, 96.1 WKZQ, The Weekly Surge, and WBTW News 13. There will also be postgame fireworks presented by East Coast Pyrotechnics.
Prostate Cancer Awareness Night is the fourth night in the five-night Strike Out Cancer series, which concludes on Sunday, August 3 with Breast Cancer Awareness Night. During each game of the Strike Out Cancer series, the Pelicans players are wearing unique uniforms, which are currently being auctioned off. The auction closes on August 15, and fans can bid online. All proceeds from the auction benefit the American Cancer Society, the Mary Kay Foundation and the Bruce Dal Canton Fund.
On Saturday, August 2 the Pelicans are hosting Coaches vs. Cancer and a silent auction to benefit Fierce Fallon. The auction will feature autographed items from various college and professional coaches including Steve Spurrier, Dabo Swinney, Will Muschamp (Florida Gators Football), Clint Hurdle (Pittsburgh Pirates) and many more. Those that wish to support can also donate at www.fiercefallon.com.
For tickets for Prostate Cancer Awareness Night or any or Pelicans home game in 2014, please call (843) 918-6002, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, visit www.MyrtleBeachPelicans.com, or visit the Pelicans box office, which is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Senate unanimously passed the Delaware Aquaculture Act June 26. The bill allows the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control to establish regulations for the leasing of acres in the Inland Bays. DNREC will determine costs of leases and lease terms.
Sponsored in the House by House Speaker Rep. Pete Schwartzkopf, D-Rehoboth Beach, the bill gained widespread support amidst opposition from recreational boaters and commercial clammers.
"I have grown up around the Inland Bays, so I know how much of a treasured resource they are to our community and how big of a tourist attraction they are," Schwartzkopf said in a press release. "This is also a resource that can produce millions of dollars in unrealized potential. We have seen states up and down the East Coast benefit from shellfish aqua farming, and we have seen what works and what doesn't.
According to the release, if signed into law, the bill would allow commercial shellfish farmers to lease one- to five-acre tracts of shellfish grounds in Delaware's Inland Bays.
Farmers could lease up to five acres in Rehoboth and Indian River bays combined and could lease one to five additional acres in Little Assawoman Bay.
Leases would be renewable annually for 15 years, at which time the lessee could renew for another 15 years. Delaware-based residents, partnerships or corporations would be charged $100 per acre each year, while out-of-state farmers would pay $1,000 per acre annually, states the release.
The proposal is popular with many environmentalists because oysters filter pollutants out of bay water, improving the health of the bays, and the program will build a new industry in Delaware.
In addition to filtering bay water, oyster cages used to raise oysters will also establish habitat for fish and other bay organisms, said Chris Bason, director of the Center for the Inland Bays in Rehoboth Beach.
"Harvest of the shellfish removes excess nutrients from the Bays and farms will also provide the opportunity to grow oysters for the restoration of wild oyster reefs," Bason said. "The fact that this bill was made possible by the work of so many committed stakeholders is a heartwarming example of how a community can cooperate to restore the bays while improving the economy."
Bason said the areas chosen for oyster leases are isolated and not prime clamming or boating locations.
He said if 56 acres are leased, that would be less than 1 percent of the bays. Bason said leased acreage would be capped so leases would not take up more than 5 percent of the total 22,000 acres of bays.
The Center for Inland Bays study recommends several lease areas in each of the three Inland Bays. Under the recommendations, Rehoboth Bay would have 261 acres, or 2.8 percent of the total bay area, available for lease; Indian River Bay would have 125 acres or 1.3 percent available; and Little Assawoman Bay would have 227 acres or 10 percent.

A FORMER headteacher has spoken of his concerns that a previously 'good' school has been placed in special measures.
Robin Campbell, who was head of Pleckgate High School, Blackburn, for nine years, said he was surprised at the number of staff departures since he retired 18 months ago.
His comments came as a petition was launched online calling for an investigation into the leadership of current head Cherry Ridgway.
The school was rated inadequate after an inspection in December, with inspectors pointing out 'a culture of mistrust' between governors, teachers and Ms Ridgway.
Ms Ridgway said she acknowledged the school had some difficulties but hit out at 'inflammatory' statements made on the online petition.
The petition was also criticised by a teachers' union, who said the issue should not become a 'trial by social media'.
Launched by Sue Brown of Hoghton, and addressed to MP Jack Straw, it states: "Morale at the school is now so low we fear for the welfare and health of the staff, children and parents feel powerless to stop this as loyal, supportive governors have also been disbanded.
"This has got to stop."
Mr Straw said: "I am not in a position to launch any kind of investigation but I will be looking into this matter."
Mr Campbell, who supports an investigation at the school, said: "As the former head of what was a good school I am very saddened to see its decline over the past 18 months.
"To have moved into special measures in such a short time is very disappointing and I was surprised at the number of staff who have departed.
"These were good staff in the majority, all of whom had the interests of Pleckgate at heart.
"The three previous Ofsteds were good or good with outstanding features and something has gone wrong somewhere.
"I am sure parents will be equally as concerned."
Signatories of the petition included a former deputy headteacher and other members of staff, past and present, as well as pupils.
One said the council had 'failed the school by not carrying out an impartial investigation' while another that she was 'sad at the demise of what used to be one of the best schools in the borough'.
Ms Ridgway said: "I am very disappointed by some of the inflammatory and untrue statements that have been made about this school and me personally online.
"However, I acknowledge the very real concerns some people have about this school in light of the Ofsted judgement and I want to address these.
"When I joined the school as headteacher in 2012, Ofsted had already highlighted concerns about teaching and I had to make changes that were necessary and in the best interests of pupils, but some people inevitably found these changes difficult.
"These changes have already started to pay dividends, with improved attendance, strong achievement in maths and improving attainment in science all highlighted in the recent Ofsted inspection, but of course there is still a long way to go and we have a robust plan to place to continue our journey of improvement.
Coun Dave Harling, Blackburn with Darwen Council executive member for schools, said: "We are aware of the online petition and debate around issues at Pleckgate High School.
"This does nothing to help education or the welfare of pupils and is highly damaging."
Blackburn NUT rep Simon Jones said the petition was not the way for people to make their feelings known.

Examiner: National Online Games
4/5 - "Mafia has all the allure of those party-night murder-mystery game boxes, and you can play through one in significantly less time. Grab your friends, serve some popcorn, and hide your identity – Mafia is a StarCraft II custom map worth playing." - Daniel Tack (Mafia Review)
NEW! Now released is Mafia Simulator, by Illidan and Raiden. This program simulates Mafia games and graphs out which groups win. It's a good way of balancing your setup and figuring out how games will go. It also includes a game log so that you can read each event that happens in the simulated games! This impressive program has many features and is worth a try.

What is Mafia?
Mafia is basically a faithful rendition of the party game of the same name, which you can learn about at http://wiki.epicmafia.com and http://mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page.
At a basic level, Mafia is like Survivor With Guns. At night, the mafia elect to kill someone. At day, the town votes to lynch somebody. The mafia win when the town is dead and the town wins when the mafia are gone.
Of course, that's the simplest possible setup. There are in reality many roles and variations that can be used; my rendition of Mafia tries to include lots of options, but it is impossible to include all of the possible house rules that people might want (I'd be working until the day I die and not make even half of them).
For this reason, my Mafia will include roughly three dozen roles, many of which are familiar to veteran players, but some of which will be fairly unique. There are many options, but this is still my interpretation of the game; I have optimized the experience and game mechanics to work best with the battle.net service and playerbase.
What are the features?
- Many combinations of options and role setups
- Lots of custom UI, including a full-feature setup screen
- Customized chat and log system
- Dynamic tutorial system (optional)
- Carefully-made game mechanics that flow smoothly and react dynamically
- Lots of polish, including a natural day-night lighting scheme, weather, and several execution methods
- Variant save slot
- Stats tracking, points leaderboard, and points rewards
- Custom-made UI art by Irrational and Dgrayed
- Custom-composed music by KingAdamXVII
What is done so far?
There are currently 28 roles (with about three dozen in total planned) and countless combinations of game options and role setups with more to come in the future. Beyond that, all of the game mechanics are finished. I will also add more execution types later on when I get bored.
Where can I play Mafia?
Play it on North American, European, or Southeast Asian battle net, under the name -Mafia-. You can organize matches in the Mafia channel; this is the preferred method because the players are much less likely to leave mid-game and will be more knowledgeable about Mafia.
Visit the Mafia website for a discussion board (comments, critique, suggestions, etc.) and more information!

#6 ikillforeyou Posted Jul 18, 2011
I love it, I'm not a big fan of how easy it is to die, though, you should add more 'survivor' roles, the only roles that are guaranteed to not die on the first day are godfather and survivor, I know many people who just hate dying on the last night.
You may also consider making it so if someone is killed in the night they don't perform their action, it's happened several times to me that in the end there's one mafioso and one serial killer and they kill each other, causing a draw.
It would be nice if bodyguard could be healed, too. so only one person would be killed in the duel.

Fine motor activities encourage the development of eye-hand coordination and help children practice the skills required to handle or manipulate small objects with their fingers. Appropriate materials for fine motor activities for infants and toddlers are those that generally match their developing skill levels and are challenging.
Fine Motor Activities to accelerate fine motor skill development:
- Play dough is an amazing activities which kids enjoy the most and it helps in development of eye and hand co-ordination. Molding and rolling play dough into balls - using the palms of the hands facing each other and with fingers curled slightly towards the palm. Rolling play dough into tiny balls (peas) using only the finger tips.
- Using pegs or toothpicks to make designs in play dough.
- Cutting play dough with a plastic knife or with a pizza wheel by holding the implement in a diagonal valor grasp.
- Tearing newspaper into strips and then crumpling them into balls.
- Use to stuff scarecrow or other art creation. Scrunching up 1 sheet of newspaper in one hand. This is a super strength builder.
- Using a plant sprayer to spray plants, (indoors, outdoors) to spray snow (mix food coloring with water so that the snow can be painted), or melt "monsters". (Draw monster pictures with markers and the colors will run when sprayed.)
- Picking up objects using large tweezers such as those found in the "Bedbugs" game. This can be adapted by picking up Cheerios, small cubes, small marshmallows, pennies, etc., in counting games.
- Shaking dice by cupping the hands together, forming an empty air space between the palms.
- Lacing and sewing activities such as stringing beads, Cheerios, macaroni, etc.
- Using eye droppers to "pick up" colored water for color mixing or to make artistic designs on paper.
- Rolling small balls out of tissue paper, then gluing the balls onto construction paper to form pictures or designs.
- Turning over cards, coins, checkers, or buttons, without bringing them to the edge of the table.
- Making pictures using stickers or self-sticking paper reinforcements.
- Playing games with the "puppet fingers" -the thumb, index, and middle fingers. At circle time have each child's puppet fingers tell about what happened over the weekend, or use them in songs and finger plays.
More activities to accelerate fine motor skill development:
Most fine motor activities require children to move their hands and fingers in unfamiliar ways. The best starting place for accelerating your child's fine motor development is to help him strengthen his pincer grip.
Consider investing in some low-cost beads of different sizes, where the largest is approximately 1 inch in diameter and the smallest bead is approximately 1/4 inch in diameter. Using a rigid cord (a pipe cleaner works well), have your child use his thumb and pointer finger to pick up a large bead and thread it on the cord. As your child gains comfort with this activity, gradually introduce smaller and smaller beads which are more challenging to hold and manipulate.
After your child is able to easily thread the smallest beads on the rigid cord, replace the rigid cord with a floppy shoe lace or string. This floppy lace will provide your child with a "moving target" as he tries to thread the bead with his dominant hand and steady the cord with his non-dominant hand.
For older children who are already comfortable with the proper pincer grip, focus on helping your child gain a strong pencil and scissors grip. As a starting point, print some printable tracing worksheets and direct your child to trace over the lines, curves and shapes. Or, to make homemade worksheets, use a yellow marker to draw the shape and then have your child trace your lines with a blue or red marker to see the shape magically turn a different color. Tracing not only requires a strong pencil grip to hold the pencil or marker, but it also requires strong coordination of the muscles in the hand to stay on the narrow line while tracing.
After your child finishes tracing, have him use scissors to cut out the shape. Begin with simple lines and curves and then move to basic shapes, such as circles or ovals, and then to more difficult shapes such as triangles, squares, and other multi-sided shapes.

Maybe in 2014 the Florida Panthers will earn some respect in South Florida.
While the state of Florida is not exactly hockey heaven, a Miami television station set back whatever progress the Panthers had made of late in a recent attempt to show the home team's logo. The NBC affiliate was recapping the Panthers-Rangers matchup on New Year's Eve, and although the New York emblem was represented accurately on the screen, Florida's logo was not even kind of close.
The depiction was more reminiscent of the Carolina Panthers mascot, but ultimately it looked like someone had simply typed "panther" into Google and pulled up the first image result.
Florida is in the basement of the Atlantic Division with a 15-20-6 record, but hey, it's a new year, and anything can happen. The team could start winning, and its home market might start using its actual logo.
Check out the local TV station's mix-up in the photo below.

The prospect of a growing solar power supply could add bearish pressure to the California carbon allowance (CCA) market over the next three years, according to traders polled by ICIS, if the resultant fall in emissions is not offset by dirtier power imports.
However, views differed on the extent that it had already been priced in, given uncertainty around future generation and import mixes.
California's solar initiative, a programme aimed at increasing solar generation in the state, and federal tax incentives have caused a surge of solar power to enter the market. The California Independent System operator (CAISO) reported 4,093 MW of solar power on 8 March, more than double the daily generation produced in June 2012.
As solar power continues to flood the Californian power market, emissions should either decline or remain flat depending on the amount of total generation over the next few years. A broker said the large scale solar projects still in development could replace older, less efficient natural gas plants.
"Obviously, it would make the market more bearish," a trader at a public utility said. "More and more of [solar generation] is coming online too."
Two carbon brokers, however, said most of the solar generation has already been priced into the market, and the additional generation would not necessarily alter the demand for CCAs.
California's changing mix
According to the California Energy Almanac, the state produced 1,834 GW of solar power in 2012, a rise 41% in generation from the 1,097 GW produced in 2011. California has an additional 15,689 MW of power that is under construction or in development, according to a March report from the Solar Energy Industries Association, a solar trade group.
For comparison, California produced 1,580 GW of coal-fired power in 2012, or nearly half of the 3,120 GW generated in 2011.
Looking at total generation, it rose from 293,652 GW in 2011 to 301,966 GW in 2012. This translates into solar's share of total generation rising from 0.5% to 0.9% over this period.
Natural gas is still expected to be the primary electricity source in California, cutting generation from more CO2-intensive sources, such as petroleum and coal, according to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
The EIA, a group that collects and analyses US energy information, also notes the boom in solar capacity in California would likely peak at 5,460 GW of power by 2016. After that, capacity would likely level off through 2020, because of the expiration of the federal solar investment tax in 2016, which helps to fund some solar development in the US.
This could mean that any reductions in emissions from solar power would likely plateau in 2016.
According to the EIA, renewable generation in the state should peak around 36% of total generation by 2017 with a bulk of that generation coming from hydroelectric and solar sources, the EIA said.
Replace SONGS generation
Environmentalists had hoped that the California Public Utilities Commission would replace the 2,200 MW of lost generation from the San Onofre nuclear generating station (SONGS) with the rising generation from solar panels.
However, the CPUC instructed Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric to replace lost generation with mostly natural gas-fired generation. The plan calls for a minimum 725 MW of power to come from renewable sources, or preferred sources.
SONGS, which closed in 2012, provided Southern California with CO2-free generation that helped the state meet its greenhouse gas target. The retirement of the nuclear power plant caused natural gas generation to rise from over 91,000 GW in 2011 to 121,000 GW in 2012.
Traders said the closure of SONGS has already been priced into the CCA market, and the new CPUC plan would likely not have an impact on the market. Dan X. McGraw

My kids want a pet. As someone who requested a horse for every single holiday, be it President's Day or Christmas, for about 12 years, I can understand their desire. As a mom with many bells to answer to, I can understand my reluctance. I have an easy excuse for saying no to cats and dogs as my son and I are allergic. We have any number of insects in cages, nets, bags at any point in time. But the most recent requests have been for fish.
My question is this: Can I handle a fish? I mean, it seems simple, but do I really want to add supervising fish feeding 2x/day and cleaning a bowl to my daily tasks? Will the excitement wane and I be left with having to organize fish babysitting over Thanksgiving? Am I totally over thinking this?
Somehow it seems that adding a fish to our lives runs counter to my desire to simplify things. But then again, Chinese kept fish ponds to encourage peace and tranquility. Will we all achieve some greater peace by watching a fish swim in circles?

Warren County Local History by Dallas Bogan
|Dallas Bogan on 19 September 2004
|original article by Dallas Bogan
|Return to Index to see a list of other articles by Dallas Bogan
The writer has always been fascinated by river traffic and has often found
himself sitting along the Ohio River bank in the Cincinnati area simply watching
the watercraft going up and down this historic waterway.
Due to simpler transportation methods, such as the vast trucking and rail systems, the great river infrastructure has taken second place and seems to concentrate on hauling heavy freight.
This has not always been the case. The steamboat, in the early days of river traffic, traveled the great Mississippi River valley system for passenger and trade purposes. Secondary water passages such as the Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, White, Arkansas, and Red, were a significant part of this network.
Before the steamboat era, river traffic downstream had always been cheap and easy, the different type boats simply drifting with the current.
I have at another time written about the flatboats and their necessity concerning the migration of the pioneers and the transportation of their merchandise.
Products of the Miami Valley were shipped downstream, via the Great and Little Miami River systems, to the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and eventually down to New Orleans.
While researching this subject, I found the first recorded exports down the Mississippi were in the first half of 1801. From January 1 to June 30, 1801, goods were transported in 450 flatboats, 20 keelboats and 7 large canoes.
Twenty-five different types of cargo were recorded in this vast enterprise, the largest being flour, cordage (ropes and cords), and meats and skins, respectively. Also included were whiskey, peach brandy, cider, lard, iron nails, soap and ten pairs of millstones.
The number of flatboats on the western rivers increased until after the War of 1812. On the Ohio River in the first months of the winter of 1810-11, there passed over the falls at Louisville Ky., 197 flatboats and 14 keelboats.
The "Despatch," a steamboat built around 1817, recorded on a voyage of 25 days from Natchez to Louisville that it passed 2,000 flatboats going down stream; no record was made during the night trip.
The sight of several flatboats being fastened together was not uncommon. One gentleman recorded on one occasion that he was on board a fleet of eight flatboats moving together in a way that resembled a kind of floating town. He could travel over the roofs and take a sizable walk.
Bartering was the main feature on the trip southward. Each flatboat carried different consignments. On one craft hogs were killed, and on another limited amounts of whiskey were bargained for. A dry goods store was in operation on one of the boats and stopped at different towns to trade.
Our story teller relates that at one point 100 boats would land at New Madrid in a single day and would cover several acres. At dawn the next morning, all would be underway.
The Ohio was the main tributary of the Mississippi River system. At the height of river traffic Cincinnati was considered the nucleus of all ports. It was centered in the richest agricultural district in the West, the Miami Valley. During the War of 1812, the city annually exported several thousand barrels of flour.
Large droves of hogs were moved to the city to be slaughtered and shipped down river. Because of the many pork-packing facilities, Cincinnati was accordingly called "Porkopolis."
Flatboats did not return up river. One estimate revealed that for a period of several years, 500 persons descended the river from Cincinnati to New Orleans with their loads and returned by foot.
At a later time, the introduction of larger craft resulted in a vessel called a barge. It could be maneuvered upstream by means of oars, poles and ropes. Sails were used when the winds were right.
Freight was transported up the river systems from New Orleans rather than over the mountains of the East. Barges could normally make two round trips from this southern city annually. Cargo would consist mainly of sugar, cotton, molasses, and coffee.
Keelboats were built not only to descend but also ascend the river, this type craft appearing at the end of the 18th century. As the name implies, it was fitted with a keel that also had a pointed bow and stern. Sail, oars or poles provided propulsion, the latter being most common in a shallow river such as the Great Miami.
On the top end of the pole was fitted a shoulder piece, while the opposite end was ironshod for digging into the riverbed or bank. Polers pushed in relays while walking along planks mounted on the gunwales (the upper edge of the side of the boat).
A more practical method was needed to transport freight up the numerous waterways. The invention of the steam engine, and eventually the steamboat, elevated river traffic to great heights, and in the process, eliminated the labors of the past.

Tom Brady: Everybody Has to Improve
FOXBOROUGH — This can be considered a make-or-break year for Tom Brady to capture his fourth Super Bowl ring.
The pieces are in place with additions of cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner shoring up the pass defense, which has so often acted as the Achilles' heel of the Patriots. Jerod Mayo and Vince Wilfork both return to full health and should bring the effectiveness back to the team's lowly run defense.
On the offensive side, Brady's offense stands largely unchanged from a year ago. Brandon LaFell arrived from the Carolina Panthers, a team that had notched its best record in the past six years at 12-4. Julian Edelman re-signed after a career-best season by the numbers, 825 yards and 84 receptions better than what he accomplished in 2012, a year in which he started only three games.
For Brady, it's Edelman who epitomizes the Patriot work ethic and how this team should work in training camp, which will set the tone for the year.
"He's another guy who's really fought his whole career,'' Brady said. "I'm proud of him coming back and getting another opportunity to work with him.''
Along with Edelman and LaFell, Brady is confident in the team's younger receivers and their progression to help build up the offense in 2014.
But for a demanding quarterback like Brady, it's not just youngsters like Aaron Dobson and Kenbrell Thompkins that need to really strive for development, but every single receiver on the roster.
"It's about making improvements, and it goes from the guys who are the newest on the team to the guys who are the oldest on the team,'' he said. "You work hard to put yourself in a good position to compete, and when you get your opportunity, you go to make it happen.''
Brady's sophomore season marked a stretch of success that any NFL player would dream about. He won the backup job behind Drew Bledsoe, and when the high-paid franchise succumbed to injury, Brady muscled his way to a championship.
The rest is history. Broken records. Three Super Bowl wins. Brady's competitive nature has become legendary and his quarterbacking skills have most definitely improved since he got his first shot.
However, his last Super Bowl win was a decade ago, with devastating losses to the New York Giants in XLII and XLVI, signifying the elusive nature of success that Brady has endured.
Training camp offers a fresh start. And every year the Patriots find themselves in contention for the Lombardi Trophy.
"It feels great,'' Brady said about getting his feet wet on the field Thursday. "I'm excited to be out here with my teammates, working to get better. It's a long training camp, and we can be the team that we want to be. It's going to be a lot of effort, and when we start the season, hopefully we'll be a better team than we are now.''

A MOTHER and daughter told a court Rolf Harris sexually assaulted them both while doing a promotion in a shop in Australia in 1991.
One of the witnesses told London's Southwark Crown Court she was "shocked" when Harris allegedly grabbed her breast and touched her bottom when she was 15.
The youngster, then a keen artist, went to shake the TV star's hand but Harris said "give us a hug". Speaking via video-link, the woman, who has not been named, told the jury: "He put his right hand on my left breast and through my shirt. He put his other hand on my right butt cheek. It was very deliberate."

She recalled pulling away and rejoining the crowd.When her mother asked what was wrong, the teenager replied that he was "a dirty old man", she recalled.
Her mother also claimed Harris sexually assaulted her that day, saying she felt him rubbing his groin against her buttocks as he stood behind her.
The mother, who was also giving evidence by videolink, said she responded by treading on his foot and telling him "You are a disgusting creature."
The mother told the court his expression switched from "smiling and friendly" to an "almost sneer".
Harris, 84, is accused of 12 counts of indecent assault between 1968 and 1986, all of which he denies.The hearing was adjourned until today.
