The 2011 Western Michigan football season made us all feel like we were on a roller coaster ride. Expectations were much higher in Kalamazoo for this team, as the Broncos finished 7-5 and 3rd in the MAC West, right where many expects had them projected pre-season. We saw some great accomplishment from the team and individuals, while other moments left us shaking our heads. This team could even be argued as the best team in school history with a win over Purdue in the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl. Regardless of the outcome, the one thing this Bronco team did do was keep us entertainment. Here's a look back at the top 10 best moments for the 2011 Western Michigan Football Team.
Top 10 Best Moments
10. Opening drive at Michigan: After watching this team practice for 4 weeks during camp, we were all excited to see what this team could do against Michigan. What we saw on the opening drive of the game was one of the best put together drives we would see all season. The Broncos moved methodically down the field compiling a 15 play, 71 yard drive, and taking over 7 minutes off the clock. Alex Carder went 8 for 8, with 4 passes going to Jordan White, and Antoin Scriven capped off the drive with a 1 yard TD.
9. John Potter breaks MAC PAT record: With 9 PAT's against Toledo, John Potter became the MACs all-time leader in consecutive PATs made with 114. Potter has since extended that streak to 128. The Third Team All MAC pick also holds the Bronco record for most tackles by a kicker with 35 and led the MAC in scoring by a kicker this year.
8. Homecoming: Offensively, homecoming against Bowling Green was the most well rounded game of the season. This would be the only time all season the Broncos would have a 100 yard rusher as Tevin Drake finished with 112. Alex Carder had 212 yards passing and 3 touchdowns and nearly gained 100 yards on the ground himself, finishing just 5 yards short of the century mark. This win put the Broncos at 4-2 and had the team feeling as if they were unstoppable.
7. Chleb Ravenell scoring the game winning touchdown against UConn: Ravenell was one of 3 Broncos to finish with over 100's receiving. But it was Ravenell's 2nd TD of the game that was the most important. Ravenell scored on a 41 yard pass from Carder with 1:35 left to put the Broncos up 38-31 over the defending Big East Champs. Carder finished with what was at the time a school record 481 yards and 5 touchdowns.
6. Tyler VanTubbergen against Akron: If Alex Carder would have thrown for 252 yards, 6 touchdowns on 19-21 passing, no one would have been too surprised. But the fact it was his back up Tyler Vantubbergen which made people disbelieve the stats. VanTubbergen looked like a seasoned vet during his first career start. He also had a rushing touchdown and 60 yards rushing. Akron's defense was one of the worst in the country this year, so the question remains, what type of numbers would Carder have put up had he been healthy?
5. Carder and White at Toledo: Anytime you score 63 points you'd think you would have won. Against Toledo, Western did just that but allowed 66 to the Rockets. However, Alex Carder threw for school records 548 yards and 7 touchdowns, while Jordan White tied the record with 16 receptions and 3 touchdowns.
4. Drew Nowak wins MAC Defensive Player of the Year: For the first time since Ameer Ismail in 2006, a Western Michigan player took home the MAC Defensive POTY. Nowak finished 3rd on the team in tackles and led the MAC in sacks with 8.5.
3a. Jordan White becomes the all-time leader in receptions in Bronco history: White's 9th reception against during the Broncos final drive against Ball State moved him into first place as the all-time receptions leader in school history passing Jamarko Simmons. The Broncos ended up defeating Ball State 45-35, moving them 1 game away from becoming bowl eligible.
3b. Jordan White named first consensus All-American in Bronco history: White was named an AP (3rd team), Walter Camp (2nd Team), and AFCA All-American making him the first player from Western Michigan to make all 3 lists.
2. Broncos invited to Little Caesar's Bowl: It's not the MAC championship but it might as well be. Prior to the team banquet it was announced that the Broncos would take on Purdue in the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl. This was the best case scenario for Western after failing to make it to the MAC Championship game. Many believe that had Western not been invited to the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl, that the Broncos would have passed on a bowl game altogether
1. Beating Central for the first time in 5 years: Enough said!
Future 1: If the Broncos get their firs even bowl win after defeating Purdue that would become the top moment of the year.

In the wake of the assault of 83 women and seven men at the Navy Pilot's Tailhook Association Convention in September 1991, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) received a mandate in 1992 to provide counseling for female veterans who were victims of sexual assault or harassment while in the military (1). For a subset of sexually traumatized female veterans, counseling for the trauma is complicated by more severe psychopathology (2). For these women, the sexual trauma in the military often represents a retraumatization (3). Their clinical picture frequently resembles that of patients with complex posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (4)—more chronic, characterologic, and impaired with multiple comorbidities—and requires more intensive treatment than needed by women with less severe pathology (4,5,6).
Despite considerable investment of VA resources in combat-related PTSD treatment, there remains a large group of male veterans with PTSD who are chronically ill and who are considered treatment resistant (5,7,8). This chronicity is likely due to several factors, but the prevalence of comorbid psychiatric disorders is certainly contributory (8,9). For example, although 85 percent of the men treated in specialized VA PTSD treatment programs receive a diagnosis of PTSD or subthreshold PTSD, it is also relatively common for these individuals to have personality and substance use disorders (9). As with female veterans, male veterans with chronic PTSD are more likely than those without PTSD to have been retraumatized by their military experiences (10). This retraumatization may be another factor in the relative lack of efficacy of first-line PTSD treatments that are used more successfully in nonveteran populations—for example, exposure therapy (5).
We sought a treatment approach that could address the characterologic issues noted above as well as PTSD and other psychiatric symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy is a cognitive-behavioral treatment that integrates validation and dialectical strategies into the therapeutic interaction. It was specifically designed to treat borderline personality disorder (11).
We believed that dialectical behavior therapy would be a good clinical approach for some veterans with chronic trauma-related disorders, because these individuals were noted to have features similar to those noted among patients with borderline personality disorder: high rates of hospitalization and substance abuse, impulsivity, mood instability, and interpersonal difficulties (2,12,13). We describe the development of a dialectical behavior therapy program in a large Midwestern VA medical center.
Standard dialectical behavior therapy consists of four essential treatment components: individual therapy, skills training, telephone coaching, and a consultation group for clinicians. The individual therapy, skills group, and consultation group are conducted weekly. Individual dialectical behavior therapy requires a validating therapeutic relationship and uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to facilitate behavior change and skills acquisition. Individual therapists are available to "coach" patients through crises by telephone.
The skills are taught in modules and include mindfulness, interpersonal skills, regulation of emotions, and distress tolerance. The consultation group provides a venue in which clinicians can receive consultations about their patients, coordinate care, and get feedback from other clinicians.
Clinicians interested in learning dialectical behavior therapy attended a two-day workshop and participated in a six-month multidisciplinary self-study group. From December 1996 through November 2000, a total of 33 clinicians provided services. The clinicians varied in their clinical orientation before learning dialectical behavior therapy—about two-thirds identified themselves as cognitive-behavioral therapists and 30 percent as psychodynamic therapists. To further facilitate program development, we paid for additional consultation from clinicians who had studied with Linehan (11) to become dialectical behavior therapy trainers. Although more intensive training in dialectical behavior therapy is recommended, this training process allowed for sufficient skills acquisition (14).
Thirty-three female and 50 male patients participated in the dialectical behavior therapy programs from December 1996 through November 2000. During the year before enrolling, 26 patients had one or more psychiatric hospitalizations, for a total of 47 admissions. All patients had undergone treatment and received ancillary treatment while participating in dialectical behavior therapy (medication, case management, or both). Characteristics of the participants are summarized in t1.
Most patients were in the program for one continuous trial, but nine enrolled in the program more than once—that is, with at least six months between trials. A majority (66, or 78 percent) were in the program for at least three months, and about half (42 patients) were in the program for more than six months. No differences were noted between men and women in the duration of participation.
Consistent with the origins of the program, most patients—70 percent of women (N=23) and 62 percent of men (N=31)—had a history of trauma meeting DSM-IV criterion A1 for PTSD documented. Half the patients (N=42) met criteria for PTSD at the time of the study. A majority (73 patients, or 88 percent) had more than one axis I diagnosis for which they were seeking treatment. A little more than half (34 patients, or 55 percent) of those with a personality disorder met criteria for borderline personality disorder.
Clinicians considered, in retrospect, that most program participants were appropriate for dialectical behavior therapy. Dialectical behavior therapy was considered inappropriate for only four of the 83 patients: one who was paranoid and was dishonest about his drug dependence; one who had a diagnosis of schizoid personality disorder and had difficulty seeing the need for this therapy; one whose primary clinical issue was gender identity disorder, for which dialectical behavior therapy is not considered to be particularly helpful; and one who was functionally illiterate.
We retained the essential features of the dialectical behavior therapy treatment model but made four modifications. In Linehan's model (11), therapists are generally available for coaching calls according to the patient's need, because patients can better generalize skills if they are helped to apply them when they are most needed. Although all therapists were available for coaching calls, most were available only during normal clinic hours. It is possible that this limitation diminished the effectiveness of the therapy; however, this stipulation attracted to the program clinicians who would not otherwise have participated.
The second modification evolved because some patients had cognitive or learning impairments and required additional help understanding the skills and completing the written homework assignments. Skills tutors were provided for these patients. Tutors were clinicians or clinician trainees who met with patients once a week for one hour. Tutors attended the weekly consultation group meetings. The concept of tutors fits well within the dialectical behavior model.
Our third modification was the development of a step-down group for patients who completed the initial dialectical behavior therapy treatment and acquired most of the skills but who still felt a need for ongoing help with skills implementation. Participants in the step-down group continued with their individual therapists within the dialectical behavioral therapy framework. They met every other week for 90 minutes. A specific dialectical behavior therapy skill was highlighted in each group session. Unlike our standard skills groups, the step-down group had both male and female participants, most having completed the full cycle of the dialectical behavior therapy skills group at least twice.
To further address resource limitations, our final adaptation involved time limitations for the skills and consultation groups. The time allocation for the skills group was shortened to 90 minutes or two hours, depending on the individual therapists. Because of the number of clinicians involved in the program, we currently have two 60-minute weekly consultation groups, and therapists attend whichever one best fits their schedule. Skills group updates are sent to clinicians by confidential e-mail. Nonetheless, there is rarely sufficient time to address administrative issues, provide individual patient updates, and discuss clinical dilemmas.
We sent patients and their therapists comparable surveys asking about their perceptions of the program. The clinicians received one survey for each patient they had treated. The patients and therapists rated the overall benefit each patient derived from dialectical behavior therapy on a scale from 1, no benefit, to 4, substantial benefit. Patients also rated their commitment to the program on a scale from 1, not at all, to 5, extremely. Last, therapists and patients rated their satisfaction with the program on a scale from 1, not at all, to 5, extremely. Twenty of the 27 individual therapists responded, providing information on 71 patients. Fifty-five of the 80 patients who had been asked to participate returned surveys, yielding a response rate of 69 percent.
Both sets of ratings indicated that 62 patients (60 percent) were perceived as or rated themselves as deriving at least some overall benefit. For the 46 patient-therapist pairs, the association between clinicians' and patients' ratings of patient benefit from dialectical behavior therapy was strong. Although dialectical behavior therapy was developed to treat female patients, ratings of benefit did not differ by gender.
Satisfaction with the program was high among both patients and clinicians. Thirty patients (55 percent) rated themselves as very or extremely satisfied. Patient satisfaction was strongly associated with patients' ratings and clinicians' ratings of patient benefit. No gender differences in satisfaction ratings were noted. All clinician responders reported that they were either very or extremely satisfied.
The duration of participation in therapy was strongly associated with clinicians' ratings of benefit and moderately associated with patients' ratings of benefit and of satisfaction. When duration in the program was controlled for, patients' level of commitment was a significant predictor of patients' ratings of benefit and satisfaction and accounted for an additional 31 percent of the variance in patients' benefit ratings and 28 percent of the variance in patient satisfaction ratings.
Before the development of our dialectical behavior therapy program, female veterans often experienced repeated hospitalizations in predominantly male inpatient wards or were referred to therapy groups comprising primarily men. Male patients with complicated trauma-related disorders were often considered treatment resistant (5,7,8) and were provided with primarily supportive therapies, because the expectation of treatment benefit was low. Although dialectical behavior therapy has not been a panacea, most providers and patients in our study reported that it provided at least some treatment benefit. Among patients with chronic and severe illness, even some benefit can result in a significant improvement in quality of life.
Adapting dialectical behavior therapy to any new clinical setting will require a dialectic approach to be successful—maintaining basic dialectical behavior therapy principles on one hand and modifying specific applications and expanding to new populations on the other. In our VA setting, specific issues we confronted in developing our program included cognitive impairment, literacy issues, diagnostic heterogeneity, and limitations on the availability of clinicians and of training funds. The adaptations we made to the standard dialectical behavior therapy model improved the feasibility of this approach in this setting without departing from it basic principles (15).
We initially thought we might have to modify the skills or their presentation to make them more palatable to male veterans. We were surprised to learn that these men were receptive to the skills in their current form. No gender differences were observed in perceived benefit or satisfaction with the program. Consistent with Linehan's formulation (11), instituting a dialectical behavior therapy program has been an intervention not just for patients but also for therapists, and we continue to learn from our patients and from each other.

Vt. encourages more landowners to open to huntingThe Associated Press | November 05,2013BENNINGTON - The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife is encouraging landowners to make their properties available to hunters.
The department says amount of posted land has roughly doubled between 1971 and 2011, about 100,000 acres to between 200,000 and 230,000.
Hunting license sales have also been on the decline, from about 91,000 licenses sold in 1987 to about 73,500 in 2004.
The Bennington Banner reported that recent legislation has given landowners the option to use "hunting by permission" signs, which work similar to posted signs but are more inviting. The signs are still being worked on.MORE IN This Just InBy Josh O'Gorman Full StoryBy Gordon Dritschilo Full StoryCASTLETON - Police have released a picture of a man who robbed a convenience store Monday night.

Diesel produced from algae is potentially the greenest biofuel available. In terms of energy produced per acre of land, algae biodiesel outperforms plant crop biodieselby more than a factor of 10. Compared to soy biodiesel, algae is more than 100 times as efficient a method for fuel production.
But will it run in my vehicle?
Soladiesel is an algae-derived diesel produced by Solazyme, Inc. In recent testing, Soladiesel passed American Society for Testing and order viagra or levitra Materials (ASTM) D-975 specifications as well as the new ASTM ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) standards. That is the uk suppliers of viagra standard used for "diesel fuel oils suitable for various types of diesel engines."
The fuel's chemical composition is identical to that of standard petroleum based diesel, and Soladiesel is fully compatible with the existing transportation fuel infrastructure. Having fewer particulate emissions, Soladiesel also has a more desirable environmental footprint than standard petro-diesel.
But where can I get it for my vehicle?
That still seems to be a few years in the offing, although the Solazyme press release did include the statement from Jonathan Wolfson, chief executive officer of online viagra prescription Solazyme: "Solazyme's leadership in the green fuels space will continue to grow as we now execute on our strategy for commercial launch." They will have some competition with Sapphire, and Green Fuel Technologies and PetroSun might beat them to the punch. But hopefully this will simply breed ever more efficient, cleaner biofuels.

The DOE has set target goals for feedstock costs (i.e. harvesting, storage, preprocessing and transportation excluding the cost paid for biomass) of $0.37 per gallon in 2012 and $0.33 per gallon in 2017.
Of the 245 million tons of waste generated annually in the United States, at least 50% is cellulosic biomass, representing a potential source of 120 million tons of feedstock per year.
The nation's and world's appetite for such a system is almost unlimited. Americans produce 4.4 pounds of waste per person per day, or 229 million1 tons annually nationwide. At the estimated conversion rate of these technologies of 52 gallons of buy ultram without no prescription ethanol per ton of garbage, this MSW represents a potential fuel source of over 6.5 billion gallons of ethanol per year. Current annual targets of both the Administration and Congress for future domestic ethanol production are about 35 billion gallons, and CleanTech's system will help the U.S. meet this goal.
Aurora Venture Communications Group is now featuring an online webcast audio interview with Mr. Michael Kime, COO of CleanTech Biofuels, Inc., who also Co-Wrote and Co-Produced the award winning feature documentary, "Can Mr. Smith Get to Washington Anymore". The interview covers a range of topics including Mr. Kime's personal insights into the conflux of environmental and political forces that are driving the www.investordaily.com.au market and the media's interest in waste-to-energy technology. The interview can be found online at: http://www.avcg.net/CLTH.
CEO of CleanTech Biofuels, Inc., Edward Hennessey, commented: "As ethanol production from food crops has exploded in recent years, there are increasing concerns over the amount of arable land once used for food production being displaced for energy crops. Additionally, concerns have been raised regarding the energy and pollution balance of other methods of generic viagra wholesale ethanol production. Consequently our business model which leverages the existing infrastructure for municipal solid waste collection and canadian generic cialis online disposal to collect biomass at a low or negative feedstock cost is beginning to http://www.aco.ca/viagra-generic-canada receive the recognition we feel it deserves."
Hennessey further stated: "We believe that we will achieve profitability quickly relative to other cellulosic ethanol producers who must develop their infrastructure to collect and transport more expensive feedstocks such as switchgrass, wood waste, or corn stover. Moreover, biomass derived from garbage should not be subject to increases in commodity prices that plague producers currently manufacturing ethanol from corn."

If there are impatient and anxious emotions behind your words then I'm totally there with you. Algae oil is the way to go and I just cannot wait for the stuff. But, I want oil companies to keep their profit rich hands as far away as possible. It's too bad that Chevron and Solazyme are in bed together. The more control the www.markwellgroup.com.au oil companies have over algae oil, the more we will have to wait for them to decide when it goes into my tank. And trust me, they will make $$millions/billions more from me and you while we wait. From what I read, investment capital is ripe and ready to flood into this new market sector...the "Green Chip" sector. As long as the oil companies stay out of it, algae oil will be in our tanks by next year or 2010!

And has anyone really thought through what happens when (not if) that stuff gets into the environment?
Consider a world where this wonder algae is loose in the oceans, or waterways, excreting hydrocarbons fatal to all other life around it. It would be quite successful as organisms go, particularly if it fed on dead matter.
It would also be an ecological disaster that would make any oil spill pale in comparison.
Of course we can depend on the company that develops this to be nice and responsible forever and best price for generic levitra to put the proper safeguards in place (And if you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you...).

Look, people should be able to like whatever music they like. And I have no quarrel with Kitty Pryde whatsoever, beyond her co-opting the name of one of my favorite X-Men, and I have nothing to say one way or the other about her skills as a songwriter or rapper.
My only thing is that this is a song where a guy is treating a girl with disrespect and the girl is singing about how she's OK with it, and even likes it, and his jerkiness is feeding into her marriage fantasies about him. And for a YA author, one who I really like and admire and am inspired by, one who holds a position of power and influence over a certain demographic, to come out and say I LOVE THIS SONG, was kind of a boner killer for me.

Iran Report, Gaffe Provide GOP Opening
Candidates continue to hit Obama, and he isn't making it any harder
Republican candidates continue to find Israel-Iran the most favorable foreign policy battlefield as they look ahead to next year's general election. Gov. Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, and Rep. Michele Bachmann have all used this week's report on Iran's nuclear progress to hammer President Obama's alleged softness on the issue, and you can expect frontrunner Mitt Romney to continue his attacks along a similar theme. "The focus reflects not only competition to be regarded as the strongest ally of Israel," according to the Times, "but also a sense that projecting toughness on Iran may offer one of the few political openings on foreign policy that Republicans can use." Yeah.
And as if they did not have enough ammunition, you have an open-mike moment yesterday, in which French President Nicolas Sarkozy was overheard confiding in Obama (who is in Paris), of Prime Minister Netanyahu: 'ÄúI cannot stand him. He is a liar.'Äù To which Obama reportedly replied: 'ÄúYou're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!'Äù That Obama finds Bibi frustrating is about as newsworthy as the fact that the subway took too long and was too crowded this morning on my way to work. But it still serves to (further) confirm the impression that Obama and Bibi have a bad personal relationship and that, under their leadership, their countries have experienced a weakened one (surely U.S. ambassador Dan Shapiro was protesting a bit much when he insisted yesterday that the "special relationship" is "stronger than ever before"); and with just a little imagination, you could call this Obama'Äôs fault.
At this point, the list of alleged personal slights at Bibi—the missed photo-op, the 45-minute Hillary Clinton phone call, the "'67 borders' surprise, and on and on—is long enough that this is just another drop in the bath. But it's what we're talking about today instead of, say, how Obama may very well be completely committed to preventing Iran from getting the bomb, even if it means the use of U.S. military force (such is Jeffrey Goldberg's argument in his latest column). Which means it's a good day for the GOP.

FORT BLISS, TX — Soldiers assigned to the 377th Transportation Company "Heavy Trucks," 142nd Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 15th Sustainment Brigade, participated in a week-long tactical exercise from March 4 through 8, to prepare the unit for an upcoming deployment to Afghanistan.
The 377th TC specializes in the movement of heavy equipment which means everything from cranes to M1-A1 Abrams tanks, which plays a vital role in the logistical operations of the greater Army.
The exercise began with the unit occupying a training area north of Fort Bliss where conditions were recreated to replicate overseas contingency operations. Once there, the unit began training in convoy operations involving reacting to improvised explosive devices and enemy combatants or aiding local nationals in need.
Spc. David Butler, a wheel mechanic, of Heavy Trucks Company, said there were things he learned even though it will be his second deployment with the Heavy Trucks Company.
While the convoy negotiated its route, troops ran into challenging obstacles. The convoy came in contact with an 'injured' local national who required assistance. Soldiers had to decide to assist the person or continue on with their mission. The convoy stopped and rendered aid.
"You need to try to stabilize them but don't let it interfere with your mission," Butler said. "It's important to show them that you are not there just to disrupt people's lives. You want to show them that we actually do care."
The Soldiers were presented with a group of peaceful protesters. First instinct may have been an offensive approach since being able to distinguish enemies from ordinary citizens can be difficult.
"[Soldiers] need to realize that not everybody over there is your enemy just like not everyone there is your friend," said Capt. Jon Bender, commander of Heavy Trucks Company.
"It's important to have situational awareness and notice the tell-tale signs between a possible hostile enemy compared to someone who may be protesting but doing it peacefully. Part of the challenge is having a good understanding of the culture," Bender added.
The overall purpose of the training was to certify their Soldiers prior to going to Afghanistan, Bender said.
"We've got a lot of new Soldiers and a lot of new people coming in. Whenever there was a variable, the way they reacted was very [noncommissioned officer] driven – because they are the ones with that experience."
"Nothing can really prepare you for the real thing," said Spc. Stephanie McAllister, a truck driver assigned to Heavy Trucks Company. "
But in this kind of environment it's the best you are gonna get. You get to see with your own eyes how things can really play out. It gives you a better idea and concept of what you can do."
"As a transportation unit, specifically a heavy truck unit, there are training requirements that [the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, Calif.] just doesn't provide," said Command Sgt. Maj. John Simmons Jr., 142nd CSSB.
"The challenges this unit may experience may be unique so the training that's required would also have to be unique, transportation wise."
As operations in Afghanistan begin to decrease, units are also experiencing a decrease in the available funding which brings a new challenge for units who have experienced more than ten years of war.
"When the war was in full swing everyone wanted to give the war fighter whatever they needed and the funding existed to make that happen," Simmons said. "[Units] were able to identify a piece of equipment they wanted and say, 'I need it and I need it now.' But now we have to take what we have, consider it and forecast the usage of it."
Simmons also explained that although units now have to take a tactical approach to budgeting, the unit is not deterred.
"It's really just going back to a method that had always been in place and an ability the military has always had," he said. "But we are coming from an era where we once got everything we wanted. I'm confident that even with budget constraints, we are going to be outfitted with everything we need to do the mission and to be successful."

Franciscan LEAD is a dynamic Catholic leadership opportunity for teens that are ready to step up to the next level in leadership and evangelization. It is a five-day, Christ-centered, sacrament-soaked, prayer-fueled immersion in Catholic teachings on leadership, evangelization, and discipleship inspired by the life and witness of St. Francis of Assisi. Franciscan LEAD is directed and facilitated by well-trained young adults and youth ministers and will equip and empower high school youth to witness the Catholic faith to their peers and prepare them for ongoing service in evangelization. The week is rooted in the truths of Scripture, the Catechism, and the lives of the saints. Each day of training will consist of workshops on discipleship including how to develop a prayer life, overcoming sin through the Sacraments, and other practical tools for developing their faith. The week will also include evangelization training on being an effective witness through topics such as how to share their personal testimony, servant leadership, how to answer difficult questions about Catholicism, and being an authentic witness.
I went into the LEAD week totally nervous and having a few problems with my faith, and came out feeling strong and confident in my faith as a soldier of God. Throughout the week all my fears about who I was and what I had to do vanished. I found confidence and strength in God and I slowly, through the week, realized that God has it all under control and that He loved me for who I was.
WHO? Youth can apply to participate in Franciscan LEAD for the summer after their freshman year in high school through the summer after their senior year in high school. Applicants must be a registered conference participant at one of the Steubenville Youth Conferences this summer. We are looking for youth who…
… Love Jesus and His Church
… Are ready to take their Catholic faith to the next level
… Want to learn how to share their love of Christ with friends and classmates
… Want to go deeper in prayer
… Want to inspire others to answer Christ's radical call to love and serve
WHY? Franciscan LEAD offers a distinctively Catholic perspective on leadership. The specific skills and competencies taught are:
The youth come back energized and really ready to plan a leadership role in the parish. They are well equipped and really really develop their prayer life. They are also ready and willing to sacrifice their lives to be a witness.
Franciscan LEAD is for youth who are passionate about their Catholic faith, active in their youth group, and ready to step up to the next level of leadership through evangelization and discipleship training!

I made a forum post way back while I was working on this and then proceeded to fall off the face of the earth for like, 2 years. I used acrylic paint on a wood body. Coated in several coats of polycrylic finish for protection.
The body itself came from a Saga guitar kit. All the internals, as well as the transparent pickguard and pick-up covers were purchased from other suppliers and assembled by American Music in Seattle. I'll try and get the specs from the guy who owns it. Thing plays like a gold knife spreading nutella on french toast.

Awesome job! As a guitar modder/builder myself I really appreciate the amount of time that goes into these kinda things :D Personally, I suck at finishing so all my guitars are very plain colours (ronseal on wood XD) (I'm much more into the woodwork and electronics/playabillity side) but that is a SCHWEET paintjob! I love all the little monsters :D Congrats man! Shred her until your fingers bleed (in the best possible way XD)
I really need to see if I can get the guy who owns it now to post a video. It sounds incredible.

There's been a lot of press lately about EV launches and buy levitra pricing strategies of big auto companies, like Nissan with their LEAF. But out of the shadows, practically-unknown Envision Motor Company has emerged and announced that they will be launching not one, but three EVs this summer, all with a price tag under $30,000, once the $7,500 federal tax credit is applied.
The all-electric vehicles will include a seven-passenger wagon, a utility van and a small pickup truck. All models will be sold at a selection of dealerships across America.
The vehicles will be outfitted with 24kWh sodium nickel chloride batteries and AC motors. The company states they'll have a max speed of www.way2age.com 75 mph and a 200-mile range. They have onboard chargers and can juice up at home on a 110V circuit in six to eight hours. The vehicles have already passed crash testing.
The EVs will make their debut on a test-drive tour around the country that starts in May.

The regular gasoline versions are sold as low-cost vehicles starting at about €9,000 for the follow link brand viagra without prescription buy wagon (that's about $12,000), but they are fine and sturdy cars nevertheless and http://www.jubileecampaign.nl/buy-viagra-generic sell very well in France. This means that EMC would either adapt them to use an electric powertrain or factory-build it. This puts the conversion price to $25,000 for a selling price of $37,000. I hope they'll sell them on viagra canada pharmacy the European market as well (€27,000 is quite affordable for an EV).

Tesla have to be pretty conservative about charge/discharge of their batteries - you wouldn't want them to last as long as my laptop battery (regularly overcharged => massively shortened lifetime). I think that the ZEBRA cells are probably more robust in this aspect.

The ZEBRA supports (at least 1000 cycles) at 100% DOD.
Tesla don't charge to 100% (http://www.teslamotors.com/blog2/?p=39) and stops discharge before 0%, so their 50kWh battery isn't giving up 50kWh of energy.

How do you think you are you gonna get your H2? A: From fossil fuels. And until CO2 sequestration becomes a reality, you're still going to have GHG emissions and pollutants. On top of that, you're gonna have to spend tens or hundreds of billions of dollars on hydrogen infrastructure, all to fascilitate operation of a more costly and less reliable vehicle.
Unless and until fuel cells make a hundred-fold leap in terms of cost and www.accessibleadventuresvt.org reliability, hydrogen just doesn't make sense -- for the consumer or for the environment.
And I don't know how many times this needs to be said, but EVEN if you charge an EV with 100% coal-generated electricity, it's still much better in terms of CO2, NOx, SOx, particulates, etc. than a conventional car. Charging at night and taking into account the actual power-generation mix makes it all the better.

The link you provided to Tesla's website says that they keep the state of order cheap levitra charge above 2% and below 95% SOC. Some quick math, and we get 93% of usable Li-Ion battery capacity in the Tesla. That small difference hardly makes these efficiency figures believable.
24kWh/200 miles = 120 wh/mi. The roadster uses 135 wh/mi.
There's just no way a wagon, van, or pickup truck gets 11% better efficiency than a super small, light-weight Roadster.

That "super small, light-weight Roadster." is actually heavier than the EMC pickup truck. The Roadster is gineric levitra 2700 pounds whereas the www.markwellgroup.com.au pickup truck will weigh about 2400 pounds. Which is about an 11 percent difference....................

Welcome to the world of "The Walking Dead" television show — and the subject of a local father-daughter podcast.
Mountain House residents Jasmine Aivaliotis, 16, a junior at Kimball High School, and Michael Aivaliotis, her father, are the hosts of the weekly "The Walking Dead Girl."
The podcast — a downloadable audio program that people can play on a computer or mobile device — has about 700 listeners worldwide, said Jasmine Aivaliotis. The Facebook page of the same name has more than 6,000 likes.
"We're having fun doing it," she said. "We adore 'The Walking Dead.'"
Each week, father and daughter review the latest episode of the AMC television series that combines horror, drama and adventure. The show follows a group of survivors, led by sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes, in a post-apocalyptic world dominated by zombies.
The podcast, created this summer, has given the Aivaliotises a chance to do something together about an enthusiasm they share.
"We wouldn't be able to do it if we weren't passionate about the show," Michael Aivaliotis said.
He once produced a podcast about his software profession, called "VI Shots," so the know-how and equipment were ready in his home office.
A fan of podcasts, Jasmine Aivaliotis said she was influenced by the popular "This American Life" podcast, which is also a weekly National Public Radio show.
Realizing they had the means, the father-daughter team published the first "The Walking Dead Girl" podcast June 23.
Each week, they spend about three hours preparing to record their hourlong podcast.
They first watch "The Walking Dead" with the rest of their family Sunday night. Then they watch "The Talking Dead," a live talk show that analyzes the latest
episode with special guests, often including cast members. They finish up by viewing the week's episode a second time and taking detailed notes.
Michael and Jasmine Aivaliotis record their weekly podcast in a home studio decorated with "The Walking Dead" posters, autographed cast photos and snapshots of themselves with the actors at a Nov. 1-3 convention in Atlanta.
Sixteen cast members recorded audio introductions for the podcast, Jasmine Aivaliotis said.
"It was crazy fun," said the 16-year-old, noting that the highlight of the convention was meeting her favorite actor, Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick Grimes.
She has performed in some Kimball High stage productions and said Lincoln encouraged her to keep her acting dreams.
Mementos of the convention in the Aivaliotises' studio include a replica samurai sword signed by cast member Danai Gurira, who plays the sword-swinging Michonne.
With the midseason finale for "The Walking Dead" scheduled to air Sunday, Dec. 1, the father-daughter commentators are eager to talk about the outcome of an expected showdown between Grimes and a villain known as The Governor.
"At the end of the day, we say what we feel," Jasmine Aivaliotis said of their unscripted show. "Sometimes we don't agree, and that makes it interesting."
For now, the show is a hobby, but when it stops being fun or "The Walking Dead" ends, they'll stop, too, Michael Aivaliotis said.
To listen to "The Walking Dead Girl" podcasts, go to http://thewalkingdeadgirl.com, which also links to the Facebook page.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Two men have been arrested in the stabbing of a Philadelphia cabdriver in a robbery that netted around $200.
KYW-AM reports (http://cbsloc.al/1dM2CuG) 21-year-old Luis Moreno and 22-year-old Alejandro Gonzalez were charged Tuesday with aggravated assault, robbery and related counts.
Police say the 37-year-old cab driver was stabbed 11 times around 1:30 a.m. Monday before he was able to wrestle away a knife from one of the suspects and turn it on his attackers.
The cabbie flagged down police and was taken to a hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening wounds to his head, arm, chest, hand and neck. His name has not been released.

Trimethylglycine (TMG) is also called glycine betaine, but the name trimethylglycine signifies that it has three methyl groups attached to each molecule of glycine. TMG was discovered to be beneficial to heart health back in the 1950s.146-150 TMG operates along a pathway similar to that of vitamin B12. It is a "methyl donor," providing extra methyl groups to hasten the conversion of homocysteine back to methionine.151 When a TMG methyl group is donated to a molecule of homocysteine, it converts to the non-toxic amino acid, methionine.152-153 Research showing TMG's ability to promote healthy levels of homocysteine, alone or in conjunction with other nutrients, confirms its status as an important nutrient for cardiovascular health.154-162 For example, in a recent cross-sectional survey study, participants who consumed >360 mg/d of TMG had, on average, 10% lower concentrations of homocysteine and 19% lower concentrations of C-reactive protein than those participants who consumed <260 mg/d.163

Why Glu Mobile (GLUU) Stock Is Still Surging
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Glu Mobile Inc. (GLUU) are higher by 1.41% to $6.47 on heavy trading volume on Tuesday afternoon as the mobile apps and games company continues to see success with its highly popular "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" game.
The free to play app was launched on June 25 and is currently number three in the Apple (APPL) App store.
Players can join the Kim Kardashian character, voiced by the reality TV star herself, as they build their own aspiring celebrity and live the Hollywood life.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Stocks
The game is expected to earn Glu Mobile $200 million, Bloomberg reported. Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates GLU MOBILE INC as a Sell with a ratings score of D. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate GLU MOBILE INC (GLUU) a SELL. This is driven by some concerns, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The area that we feel has been the company's primary weakness has been its disappointing return on equity." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Software industry and the overall market, GLU MOBILE INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for GLU MOBILE INC is currently very high, coming in at 71.78%. Regardless of GLUU's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, GLUU's net profit margin of 0.29% is significantly lower than the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 201.38% to $3.79 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, GLU MOBILE INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 10.73%.
- GLUU has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.45, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- This stock has increased by 120.08% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Regarding the future course of this stock, we feel that the risks involved in investing in GLUU do not compensate for any future upside potential, despite the fact that it has seen nice gains over the past 12 months.

Societies committed to civil liberties struggle with the problems presented by dangerous persons. Must authorities charged with protecting public safety wait for violence to occur before intervening? When, if ever, is some form of preventive action acceptable? Most countries have decided that dangerousness linked to mental illness justifies preventive interventions, perhaps because the possibility of successful treatment allows self-protective intent to be leavened by benevolent impulses. But what ought we to do when the dangerous person does not meet ordinary standards of mental illness and successful treatment is unlikely?
This is precisely the dilemma captured in a new book, by Australian criminologist Deidre Greig, based on a case that arose roughly a decade ago in Victoria, Australia (1). The protagonist of the story, Garry David, tied the correctional and mental health systems in knots, provoked a startling legislative response, and left the courts simmering in confusion. The David case provides an object lesson in both the difficulty of dealing with persons with severe character disorders and the dangers of subordinating psychiatry to the goal of protecting the community—a lesson with relevance to the American setting.
Garry David was born in 1954 to a teenage mother who abandoned him two years later, at which point he became a ward of the state. He lived thereafter in state institutions, apart from brief and not entirely happy visits with his mother. His first known offense, breaking and entering, occurred when he was 11 years old, and by the age of 18 he had been convicted 44 times, mostly for larceny and once for carrying a firearm. Transferred to an adult correctional facility before he turned 18, David remained in custody, with only four brief periods in the community, for the rest of his life.
What was to be his final period of incarceration began in 1980, when David shot the owner of a pizza shop, ostensibly to draw police to the scene so he could "go out in a blaze of glory." One of the policemen was shot before David was captured. David was tried and given a 12-year minimum sentence. He turned out not to be a model prisoner. Over the subsequent 11 years, David threatened that, once discharged, he would bomb bridges, police stations, and other public facilities, massacre people indiscriminately on the streets, and poison Melbourne's water system. He also subjected himself to at least 75 separate acts of self-mutilation, the list of which is difficult even to read, including swallowing razor blades; cutting off pieces of his ears, nipples, and penis; and inserting fish bones into his eye.
Victoria's correctional system, like most around the world, was not well suited to dealing with a prisoner who used his body as a weapon of manipulation. As David's case became a focus of media attention, questions were raised as to why he could not be prevented from harming himself. Frantic administrators transferred him back and forth between correctional and secure mental health facilities, looking for a way of simultaneously containing him and stopping his self-abuse. David further complicated matters by reaching out to the press with complaints that his desire for rehabilitation was being thwarted by the malevolence of the system, leaving officials thoroughly frustrated.
If Garry David was hard enough to handle as a prisoner, the prospect of having him on the loose produced something close to apoplexy among police, prosecutors, and the general public. But because his prison term was due to expire in early 1990, it was not at all clear how he could be retained. Civil commitment under the mental health law was one much discussed option. But although laypersons assumed that anyone who mutilated himself and threatened others in the ways David did had to be "crazy," the majority of psychiatrists who examined him concluded that he suffered from no diagnosable mental illness. Instead, David was said to have a severe personality disorder, a diagnosis that was confirmed by a special panel of senior psychiatrists. Australian psychiatry considered this disorder not to constitute a mental illness. Furthermore, under the prevalent interpretation of the governing law, a personality disorder alone did not meet the criteria for involuntary hospitalization.
With the clock ticking toward David's release and public fear of his potential for violence rising, the psychiatrist who had overall responsibility for his care suddenly reversed his opinion and certified David for transfer to a psychiatric facility. Dissension grew within the psychiatric services; psychiatrists believed that they were being used as a mechanism of last resort to satisfy the political pressures being brought to block David's release. David himself lodged an appeal with the Mental Health Review Board of Victoria, which many observers thought might well result in his discharge.
Before that could occur, however, the government acted. It introduced in the Victoria parliament the Community Protection Bill of 1990, a law that, remarkably enough, applied to only one person. The statute's stated aim was "to provide for the safety of members of the public and the care or treatment and the management of Garry David. . . ." Its provisions called for the state's Supreme Court to review David's status, including his "dangerousness and the necessity for his continued detention." The court had the discretion, if it found David more likely than not to be dangerous, to have him confined in a psychiatric facility, a prison, or some other "institution of detention." Periodic reviews were mandated. This kind of legislation aimed at a single person, analogous to the British bills of attainder that so exercised American colonists during our Revolutionary era, would be unconstitutional in the United States. Victoria later rejected this approach as well. But in 1990, the bill was hastily pushed through the parliament to prevent Garry David's release.
What came next can hardly have been surprising to anyone. The mental health review board found no basis for David's continued confinement in a psychiatric facility, transferring the issue to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court under the new, hurriedly conceived statute. The court heard testimony from the psychiatrists involved in David's case about his risk of violence to others, and, despite its evident discomfort with the whole process, concluded that he should continue in confinement; this judgment was confirmed repeatedly at subsequent hearings. Amid endless court proceedings, David continued his pattern of self-injury and property destruction, and he again continued to be moved among penal, psychiatric, and medical services. Participants in the process felt uneasy about the extraordinary means being used to detain David. Finally, in what seems in retrospect the inevitable denouement of the situation, in June 1992 Garry David died of peritonitis, a complication of his repeatedly slashing his abdomen and puncturing his intestines over the previous two years.
In the aftermath of the Garry David case, Victoria revised its commitment law to allow involuntary hospitalization of persons with "mental disorders," a term conceived as broader than "mental illness" and hence including the personality disorders. A new sentencing statute was also adopted that allowed indeterminate sentences to be imposed on certain offenders. Through this statute, legislators hoped to avoid a repetition of the crisis that arose when Garry David's sentence expired—at least in the case of defendants who could be identified in advance as likely to pose an ongoing threat to public safety. But neither of these tools was available as the system struggled with David himself.
What are the lessons of Garry David's case? Without question, all societies, democracies not excepted, feel a need to protect their members from persons who appear likely to commit acts of serious violence. But radical measures taken during what Greig (1) calls a "moral panic" can create more problems than they solve. As difficult as Garry David was to manage, it seems likely that even with his history of violence he represented at least as much of a danger to himself as to other people. Because he had never lived outside an institution for more than a few months since the age of two, it is doubtful that he could have survived for long in society. Indeed, at times he appeared to realize that: he indicated his willingness to negotiate some sort of voluntary admission and supervised period of transition to less restrictive care. Crafting such a program, with close supervision and the ability to intervene if any crime was committed, might have represented an alternative to the course chosen by the Victoria government.
One cannot, of course, underestimate the capacity of someone like Garry David to undermine any plan and to create turmoil for its own sake. There may have been no good option here. However, the development of legislation targeted at the detention of a single individual harmed the structure of civil liberties in Victoria and constituted a troublesome precedent that placed other high-profile offenders at risk of being dealt with similarly. Moreover, the events that preceded passage of the Community Protection Act, involving the psychiatric confinement of a person who was almost uniformly believed not to meet existing commitment criteria, undermined the legitimacy of psychiatry's role in the involuntary treatment system. One judges from Greig's account that this action generated persistent acrimony and suspicion among the psychiatric profession, the legislature, the courts, and the criminal justice system.
The United States is not immune to the dangers of moral panic. Indeed, some observers might argue that we are in the midst of one right now. Many states—often in the tumultuous aftermath of a horrendous crime—have adopted legislation permitting indefinite involuntary commitment in psychiatric facilities of sexual offenders who have completed their sentences (2). As with Garry David, it is questionable whether most of the prisoners are likely to benefit from available treatment—and even whether that is the real intent of the laws. Rather, it appears that American law is willing to tolerate the pretense of therapeutic goals to justify detention with largely preventive aims. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld these laws (3,4), they—like Victoria's Community Protection Act—strain the limits of legitimacy and are likely in the end to produce backlash. Public safety is a vital objective of government, but its pursuit by means subversive of our civil liberties will end in more harm than good.

Celebrate National Walking Day With Walkabout
Written on April 4, 2012 at 4:03 pm , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Brittany Vickers, editorial intern
Spring is nearly as famous for mini-makeovers as New Year's is for resolutions. It's time to shed the winter weight, reset goals and gear up for summer! But instead of jumping in head first and taking on too much, too fast, try little changes…one step at a time.
"Walking just 30 minutes a day can dramatically affect your physical and emotional health," says Andrew Weil, M.D., founder of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center in Tucson.
It's something we hear often, but walking workouts are often fall by the wayside when the busy get, well, busier. If you're looking for a little extra motivation to stick to your plans, check out Walkabout with Dr. Weil – a 28-day quest for good health. Walkabout has 50 ambassadors leading the way, each one with a different style for you to choose from, no matter what your fitness level.
You can follow whichever ambassador you want via social media (isn't it a beautiful thing?) Links can be found at Healthy Footnotes, Dr. Weil's blog. Once you find someone to suit your style, keep your friends (and Dr. Weil!) updated on Facebook for a double dose of accountability. And there's no better day to join the quest than today—it's National Walking Day!
But there needs to be a little something-something at the end to make the challenge even sweeter, right? Don't worry, you're covered. Participants who post regularly will be entered into a random incentive drawing, with chances to win prizes like Walkabout T-shirts, hats or a pair of Dr. Weil's new Rhythm Walking Shoe to complete their walking wardrobe. If you really dig the program, the opportunity to become a walking ambassador in 2013 may be presented before you know it.
Are you ready to get started? Head to Dr. Weil's Integrative Footwear Facebook page for more information and get moving!

Supply and demand drives markets. In Florida, rising demand for construction is hitting an obstacle: a restricted supply of construction labor. The Observer has this report: ("Labor shortfall threatens construction boom," by Nolan Peterson).
"After five years of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, a shortage of skilled labor threatens to take the wind out of the sails of Sarasota's resurrected construction industry," the paper reports. "The problem is that a lack of workers threatens to drive up construction costs and limit the amount of projects contractors are able to tackle."
It's not just a matter of rising cost for labor. In fact, wages may not be rising at all—instead, contractors who can't find enough good help are just turning down jobs. Reports the Observer: "Brian Jones, director of development for Core Construction, said he noticed smaller sub-contractors turning down jobs, but it wasn't until CECO Concrete Construction, the nation's largest concrete subcontractor, stopped taking new jobs in Florida for 2014 that the scale of the problem became apparent.'
"That caught us off guard," Jones told the Observer. "We didn't expect a contractor as big as that to start canceling jobs."
The dodge is simple: Instead of listing employees as hourly workers, list them as...

Dr. Layton and his students made their first discovery of Chinese porcelain and bottle glass fragments in 1984 in some Mitom Pomo house depressions at a site, which he named Three Chop Village, halfway between Fort Bragg and Willits. (What possible explanation could there be for the pottery fragments? Had the archeological site been contaminated with garbage from a more recent settlement? "The Hop Sing hypothesis.") Layton and his students knew that the native Pomo had possessed these artifacts, that they hadn't been deposited there at a later date/ when pieces of porcelain and bottle glass worked into beads were found.
Dr. Layton's initial interest in the ship was for the purpose of dating the pottery fragments. While little is known about the Pomo people of the period, substantial academic material existed to date the Chinese pottery. The pottery fragments were like being able to "inject a dye into the vein of history". Through these artifacts, Archaeologists might be able to trace the settlement and trade routes of the Pomo people and learn something of their ways.
Layton' spent the next 10 years unraveling the Frolic story. His research evolved from the study of Pomo Indian settlement patterns and Chinese pottery, to a study of maritime commerce and the opium trade in the first half of the 19th century, shipbuilding in Baltimore/ the slave trade/ and the economic development and ethnic diversity of the north coast.
Layton's research into the origin of the pottery fragments led him to a community of sport divers and local residents of the area who had long ago named the cove "Pottery Beach" for the many shards washed up on shore. They brought him cardboard box after cardboard box of salvaged artifacts: ceramic fragments/ ship's hardware, firearms, jewelry, shoe horns and toothbrushes, etc. "The kinds of things that were made then and bought then, produced today and bought today." These sport divers donated most of the artifacts on view in the exhibit Journey of the Frolic to the museum.
Layton traced the history of the wreck through an 1850 newspaper article in the "Alta California", and from there into the ship's history in the opium trade through the "Bombay Times" and other defunct venues. He discovered that the records of the ship's owners, the Augustine Heard Co., were archived at Harvard University. Layton planned an afternoon to look over the records but discovered 264 shelf feet, almost a football field of papers stacked on edge. On it's final voyage, the Frolic was carrying household goods from China for sale in Gold Rush San Francisco. He calls the Frolic a "floating Cost Plus - a veritable emporium of Chinese export items". The ship was also carrying a complete, prefabricated house with oyster shell windows.
The Frolic was a two-mast clipper brig of "209 tons, 97' long and 24' wide, built by the Gardner Brothers of Baltimore. Completed in 1845, her hull was of white oak and her decking and masts of pine, with a V shaped hull, or "Sharp built". (Why would she have a V shaped hull? She was built for drug running, an illegal enterprise that required speed above all. Cargo vessels were built with U shaped hulls to hold larger loads, but were slower in the water.) Her best sailing time was just over ten miles an hour with an average speed of about 5.5 mph - she was one of the fastest ships of her class.
The Gardner Brothers were known for their fast ships, which were used as privateers and slavers. They built the Venus, which was the subject of a federal investigation and earned the Gardner Brothers lots of publicity.
An account of the Gardner Brothers shipyard is preserved in the writings of an eighteen year-old slave who worked for the company. This young man grew up to achieve international recognition as the abolitionist writer and orator, Frederick Douglass, the most prominent African-American of the nineteenth century. Douglass writes that competition for jobs in the Baltimore shipyards of the 1830's erupted into bloodshed between the young English and Irish immigrants, and the free and indentured blacks.
Douglass carried a scar on his cheek, which he received in a shipyard brawl.
The Frolic was built to carry opium from Bombay for sale in Canton. Though banned by the Chinese government and technically illegal, the opium trade was a profitable venture for British and American shipping interests.
China produced silk, porcelain and most importantly tea for export to the West. But there was very little that the Chinese wanted in return except silver (coinage).
Consequently, a major negative balance of trade evolved between the entire tea consuming world and China. In an effort to solve their economic problems, the British government gave a monopoly to the British East India Company (1770's) to grow poppies in India and produce opium for sale to China. Within 10 years the British had succeeded in balancing their trade with China. By the 1830's the Chinese were spending more on opium than they received for their tea, causing inflation in the value of Chinese silver. The Emperor, in an effort to deal with foreign "barbarian" merchants and force the British out of business, confiscated several thousand trunks of opium. The British used this as an opportunity to attack China and exacted a 3 million dollar ransom on Canton. In the settlement, Britain received 5 treaty ports, including Hong Kong, which it still holds today. The opium trade remained illegal but continued unhindered by the Chinese government.
January of 1849 - Gold discovered at Sutter's Mill in the Sacramento River Valley. The beginning of the California gold rush. There was no north coast lumber industry in California at the time, but rapid growth and regular fires in San Francisco created a high demand for timber and household goods.
By 1850/ steam ships were coming into favor in the opium trade. They were more reliable, and could carry more cargo. Having outlived her usefulness/ the Heard Co. was looking for a way to unload the Frolic, which had developed rot in her hull and was otherwise outdated. The California gold rush opened up a new market to the Heards and provided them with an opportunity to use the Frolic for one final profitable voyage. The Frolic's journey from China to the California coast took 44 days, a distance of some 6000 miles.
Mistaking their distance from shore in the coastal haze, the Frolic wrecked on the reef at the north edge of what is now the Preserve, the night of July 25th, 1850. No lives were lost in the wreck. Captain Faucon and his officers landed at Big River after abandoning ship and making for land in the lifeboats. They left at least 18 of the Malaysian, Chinese, and Lascar seaman behind on the boat or on Big River Beach to fend for themselves. (What became of them?) 10 days later Faucon arrived in San Francisco where news of the wreck was publicized in the local paper.
The Frolic was well insured. The Heard Co. may not have made as great a profit as they might have had the cargo reached San Francisco, but they still saw a return on the venture. (Was there a deliberate scuttlebutt? Why would the captain abandon the ship without making an effort to salvage the cargo? Why was he so anxious to cut his losses?)
Edward H. Faucon, Captain of the Frolic began his merchant seaman's career in 1829 as first mate aboard a fur-trading vessel on the California coast. This was late for the fur trade, which was already suffering from over hunting by the early 1820's. The ship carried New England manufactured goods to the Pacific Northwest, trading them to the natives in exchange for furs, especially those of the sea otter, which was hunted to extinction for its luxurious pelt. These furs, in turn, were exported to China. A chapter of the book Two years before the mast, by Richard Henry Dana, is devoted to Captain Faucon
Before her death in 1942, Catherine Faucon (daughter and sole heir) donated her family's extensive collection of heirlooms to museums and archives. In this process she carefully edited and burned the records of her father's participation in the opium trade.
The only document saved dating to his employment in China was a small penciled Portrait, sketched there sometime during the late 1840s, a reproduction of which is exhibited in Journey of the Frolic.
Additional study materials on the Frolic story are available on request, including a videotape of Dr. Layton's training lecture. A permanent exhibit of artifacts from the ship is on display at the County Museum in Willits

An Upstate mom said Facebook needs to re-evaluate its policy on
breastfeeding photos because some are getting removed, but some moms said the photos are educational, not pornographic.
Carla Engle is a mother of four and has her own page on Facebook dedicated to parenting.
Called "The Primal Parents," the posts talk about everything from midwives to birthing to breastfeeding.
"We post things on breastfeeding and breastfeeding awareness," she said.
But Engle and other breastfeeding groups that she's a part of on Facebook said they're seeing recent problems with their postings - some are being reported as offensive or are removed.
Engle directed us to a site for "This. Milk. Matters." - a page dedicated to breastfeeding, where the group has posted about links and pictures being removed from their page. Engle herself said she's had similar issues with pictures.
"We could have a breastfeeding photo up one night, and we would check on it the next day and it's gone," she said.
Facebook's own guidelines allow posting of breastfeeding photos, so why are they being removed? Facebook told FOX Carolina that they couldn't speak to the specific photos that were removed, but reiterated their statement regarding breastfeeding photos.
"We agree that breastfeeding is natural and beautiful and we're very glad to know that it is so important to some mothers to share this experience with others on Facebook," the statement read. "We take no action on the vast majority of breastfeeding photos because they follow the site's terms of use. Photos containing a fully exposed breast (as defined by showing the nipple or areola) do violate those terms and may be removed. These policies are based on the same standards that apply to television and print media. It is important to note that the photos we act upon are almost exclusively brought to our attention by other users who complain."
Engle is one of more than 5,000 people who have petitioned Facebook to re-evaluate their policy on breastfeeding photos and said that the site needs to look at and consistently enforce those guidelines.
Engle said her page and those like it on Facebook only serve to educate parents.
"We are out there trying to help women who do not have this resource other than our groups - you may be offended, but we're not. We're there to help them achieve their own personal life goals," she said.
