Recap | Final Stats | Photo Gallery 1 | Photo Gallery 2
HEAD COACH Ryun Williams
(opening statement)
"Great night for our seniors. (I'm) really proud of what they have done for this program and how they have been so important to turning this program around. To get a great Border War win in a great college basketball game with two really competitive teams out there tonight, it's a good way to finish the 18 game grind of the conference schedule."
(on important win)
"This is still part of the conference season and we won this thing. We were the most consistent throughout the 18-game grind. These kids want to go compete whether we are coming off of a loss or a win and I'm glad we're coming off a win."
(on holding the trophy)
"It's great. We've come a long way. Our program has made great strides in a short amount of time and all the credit goes to those kids. So to be able to present the trophy to my team was the best. (I'm) really proud of them."
(on Ellen Nystrom)
"We thought in our motion we can get some penetration, and she is obviously a very good driver. She actually went left tonight and scored a lay-up. We thought if we could move the ball we could get some good driving opportunities and she had a really nice games. Our kids competed really well tonight in the half court tonight. To hold Woodward to zero points is impressive. We just wanted to turn ourselves loose and go compete. Just wind ourselves up and turn ourselves loose."
(on beating all teams in conference)
"It was important. Our kids don't like to lose, and they wanted another shot at a really good Wyoming team. It feels good to beat a good basketball team; we have a ton of respect for those Cowgirls. We had to earn every basket tonight and so did they."
(on finally beating Wyoming)
"It will be good to go back home for Christmas. All my pals and even my family gives me grief for not beating Wyoming. My mom even, she said it was hard to take off the brown and gold, it feels good. The Border War, it's a big game for a lot of people, including us."
(on postgame)
"It's really cool. It's been a great four years. It's been up and downs, and to end it like this just means everything to me."
(on crowd)
"I actually looked at the ref after a media timeout and was like, 'look at this crowd' and he said it was like the old days. Looking at that was huge, we even had some of the student section filled which never happens."
(on energy)
"Yes, the final home game and playing Wyoming again, we really emphasized that this is a rival game. This is obviously their only rival game so they treat it like that all the time, and we have to treat it like that too. We came out wanting to win this game and then, honestly, I think that we all came together. After our last game we all talked about it and decided that we have to finish this season together and that we have so much potential. That's how we played tonight, we did it as a team, and that's the best part about our win."
(on Ellen Nystrom's performance)
"That's what's so good about Ellen is that she's such a long body and much taller than most team's guards."
(on upcoming tournament)
"We don't have that great of a track record right now in the Mountain West tournament and we know that. Tonight we played, as a team, one of the best games of the season. I've been talking about how we haven't peeked yet and we're still getting there, but it's great to have a game like this, get that confidence, and know we can play like this again in (Las) Vegas."
(on teammates)
"This group of girls is really special and you don't get teams like this all the time. I've loved all my teammates, but this year they're really something, and it's fun to get to celebrate something like that on the court, with our fans, on our last game, with each other."
(on motivation)
"We were excited to play this game and to get revenge, which was the biggest motivation. It's a big game, It's a rivalry game, so we just wanted to show our fans how we can play, go out there and leave everything on the court."
(on win)
"We got our confidence up after two loses and it's really important for us."

Hollywood Docket: Brendan Fraser Sues; Kelsey Grammer Wins; And the Funniest Lawsuit of the Year
A roundup of entertainment and media law news including a win for Leslie Moonves and a setback for Beyoncé.
Brendan Fraser is suing producers of William Tell...The Legend, alleging they violated a written agreement to star in a proposed film about the Swiss folk hero known for his expert bow-and-arrow marksmanship.
PHOTOS: Crazy Cases! 18 of Hollywood's Outrageous Entertainment Lawsuits
In a complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court last Friday, Fraser says he was approached in early 2011 by Arclight Studios to star in the film. The project was acquired by producer Todd Moyer, who allegedly ran into trouble financing the project.
Fraser says he forgoed other jobs, incurred out-of-pocket travel expenses to market the film to prospective investors and in November 2011, got Moyer to agree in writing to pay him for his acting services. According to the complaint, he was to receive $2.25 million in fixed compensation, 10 percent of which was to be paid as a "hold fee." The rest was to be deposited into an escrow account.
Fraser now alleges in his lawsuit against Moyer that the terms of his "pay or play" deal have been violated and that Moyer has delayed commencement of production on the film. Asserting breach of contract, fraud, and promissory estoppel, he's seeking $3 million in compensatory damages. Fraser is repped by Marty Singer.
STORY: Mark Burnett Settles $70 Million Legal Battle With Former Partner
In other entertainment law news:
- Kelsey Grammer has successfully defended a copyright infringement lawsuit that alleged that he along with other producers of the BET television series The Game lifted an author's script for an episode of the show. The plaintiff had alleged that she had given the script to her agent, who implied that it would be sent to producers. The episode in question aired in 2007, and the judge said her claims were barred by statute of limitations.
- The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals has absolved CBS and its chief executive, Leslie Moonves, from liability for not quickly disclosing a $14 billion write-off in 2008. The appellate circuit notes that the "red flags" such as an economic slowdown at the time were public knowledge and that suing shareholders hadn't shown that the company committed securities fraud by ignoring accounting standards for valuing goodwill.
- In an ongoing multi-million lawsuit by video game company Gate Five that alleges that Beyoncé walked away from an agreement to develop a game, a judge has rejected the singer's motion to dismiss, saying at a hearing last month, "They were in the drafting process of a substantial and serious deal and someone pulled the plug. This motion is denied. I am not going to go further with this. I'm surprised this is so meritless." Beyoncé is expected to testify in the case.
- Is suing entertainment companies some sort of performance art for some individuals. In the funniest case of the year so far, a Maryland man is suing Mark Burnett, saying he came up with the idea behind The Voice, suing Comcast and its chairman Brian Roberts, saying he came up with the idea behind cable television, and suing Barbara Eden, saying that if she had told others that he created I Dream of Jeannie, his life would be different. And somehow, a mysterious person named Xuxa is involved. Here's the funny complaint.

A qualitative study of nursing staff members' interpretations of signs of gerotranscendence
Aims. This study was conducted in Sweden and investigated whether nursing staff working with old people could recognize signs of gerotranscendence and, if so, how they interpreted such signs. Another aim was to describe how the staff addressed and cared for older people, 65 and older, showing signs of gerotranscendence.
Background. The theory of gerotranscendence is a theory that, present a new understanding of the ageing process. Gerotranscendence is regarded as a natural developmental process, and the term transcendence implies a shift in an older person's meta-perspective and a new outlook on reality.
Methods. Proceeding from Tornstam's description of signs of gerotranscendence, an interview guide was designed, qualitative interviews performed and the theory of gerotranscendence was used as the basis for the qualitative analysis.
Findings. Findings showed that staff working with old people noticed signs of gerotranscendence. However, their interpretations were highly variable; in some cases such signs were interpreted as what might be interpreted as 'pathological'. This is probably because the staff had no theoretical tools with which to make other interpretations. Some signs were interpreted as common and in some cases as 'normal'. These could be theoretically understood from either an activity or developmental perspective.
Conclusions. Staffs' need an interpretative framework allowing them to understand the signs they sometimes observe in older people. Having an interpretative framework in which these signs are seen as normal aspects of ageing would enable staff to develop a different attitude towards older people and another approach to caring for them.

The International Monetary Fund has issued a sobering report for the western world. In short, the analysis maintains that the world's wealthiest nations are deluded in thinking that austerity cuts will chip away at debt. The report is warning of massive write-offs and defaults in order for the world's economy to remain afloat.

Keywords: IMF< First World, debt, haircuts, war debt
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to the reports, the majority of the Western world will require defaults, a savings tax and higher inflation. Debt levels have reached their highest in more than 200 years.
Debt burdens in the First World have become extreme by any measuring stick. A wave of haircuts, either negotiated Depression Era-style write-offs or the standard mix of measures used by the IMF is required, the report argues.
"The size of the problem suggests that restructurings will be needed, for example, in the periphery of Europe, far beyond anything discussed in public to this point," Harvard professors Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff say.
Overall, developed nations are working under the delusion that they are different from poorer nations and can therefore chip away at their debts with a blend of austerity cuts, growth, and tinkering. "Forbearance" is just another form of debt.
Advanced economies, many assume, "do not resort to such gimmicks" such as debt restructuring and repression, which would "give up hard-earned credibility" and throw the economy into a "vicious circle."
This line of thought, researchers say, rely on the "collective amnesia" of European and U.S. history. They are structured upon "overly optimistic" assumptions that risk doing far more damage to credibility in the end. This only drags on the crisis, blocking a lasting solution. "This denial has led to policies that in some cases risk exacerbating the final costs," it said.
Higher burdens are placed upon northern taxpayers with debt pooling in the eurozone. This could drag the EMU core states into a recession and aggravate their own debt and aging crises. Germany and the creditor core would do better to "bite the bullet" on big write-offs immediately rather than buying time with creeping debt mutualization, the paper argues.
Western debt burden is now so big that rich states will need same tonic of debt haircuts, higher inflation and financial repression, defined as an "opaque tax on savers" - as used in countless IMF rescues for emerging markets.
"The magnitude of the overall debt problem facing advanced economies today is difficult to overstate. The current central government debt in advanced economies is approaching a two-century high-water mark," they said.
Financial repression can take many forms, including capital controls, interest rate caps or the force-feeding of government debt to captive pension funds and insurance companies.
Some of these methods are already in use, but not yet on the scale seen in the late 1940s and early 1950s as countries resorted to every trick to tackle their war debts.

Menswear season in Paris brought the lofty catwalks back to the people, with a series of shows that twinned the glamour and energy of high fashion with genuine wearability.
Life & Style | Beauty & Fashion
Summer menswear in Paris a relaxed affair
Nostagia, rock'n'roll and summer blues feature prominently in menswear collections
- Image Credit: AP
- A model wears a creations for Lanvin's Spring-Summer 2014 men's collection presented on June 30, 2013 in Paris.
Loose shorts, rolled-up sleeves, jackets with the arms lopped off and high-waisted loose pants in highly enviable colours added a distinctly relaxed feel to the normally frenetic 47 shows, and countless off-calendar events.
Givenchy, the strongest show of the season, which evoked tribal energy through plays on graphic lines and colour, featured some great single garments that were surprisingly wearable. It was thanks to their tonal balance and softer silhouette.
Indeed, this season was the story of a lengthened, slimmer silhouette. The boxy torso that's been around for quite a while has settled into a shape that's leaner and, at times, looser, as seen in some ultra-stylish suits courtesy of Lanvin.
The colour on highest rotation was a beautiful cobalt blue, with rich burgundy and soft grays adding to the cool, summery energy seen throughout the five days of shows.

Lanvin's spring-summer 2014 menswear show evoked a film noir movie set.
Perhaps it was the huge industrial retro lights that beamed from the centre of the runway, reflecting the hazy quality of an old movie. Or perhaps it was the black-heavy looks themselves: The slicked-back hair, the turned up collar of a sheeny black slim trenchcoat or the high-waisted 1930s pants.
Whatever it was, it worked, producing a nostalgia that made this strong collection from designers Alber Elbaz and Lucas Ossendrijver look so finessed. There were some great, stylishly loose suits in black and white that were light and worn on bare skin.
Elsewhere, a long retro clay blazer that hung to the mid-thigh cut a great silhouette with one sleeve rolled up. And a lightweight pale gray New Romantics-style bomber with studded crossover had a great stiff texture and hard old-fashioned upturned collar. However, the collection's time-dial was jolted towards the end to the 1980s and 90s with colour-blocking and some garish shattered-glass effect pants.
Saint Laurent
Hedi Slimane delivered an ode to the rockabilly styles of the 1950s with a twist of glam rock in an energetic Saint Laurent Paris menswear show on Sunday.
Most of the looks, like pointy buckled "winklepicker" shoes with white socks, bolo ties, greased hair, red bandana neckscarves, sleeveless black leather and leopard jackets – as well as his signature skinny pants – produced no great fashion surprises. At points, the 44 ensembles even seemed a touch repetitive, delivered predictably on stomping near-adolesecent models.
But crucially, the vision of this spring-summer 2014 collection felt much more at ease and consistent in its style than the almost directionless rebellion of last season.
Among the looks were also some great, imaginative single pieces, like one show-stopping black piped red jacket that could have come straight out of a 1950s cabaret. Elsewhere, a Grease-style leather waistcoat featured a great, removed section at the back to expose the sparkly undergarment.
Items like this will no doubt ensure that Saint Laurent under Slimane continues to sell buoyantly, as it has for the last 12 months. Elements of the 1970s and '80s infused this musing nicely, with shiny, skintight black pants sported alongside a rock 'n' roll leopard tuxedo and black mesh undergarment.
The programme notes, which list nothing but the pounding soundtrack, are testament to where this designer's priorities lie: His Saint Laurent shows are where fashion and music fuse.
Givenchy delivered what could possibly be one of its most imaginative shows in recent memory: A kinetic play of stripes and colour that confirms why designer Riccardo Tisci's collections are among the most eagerly anticipated on the Paris calendar.
The mood of the show was tribal-meets-machine, with electronic circuitry prints appearing alongside loincloth shapes, leggings, printed Aztec-like neck adornments, sandals and even primal face paints.
It takes a designer as bold as Italy-born Tisci to pull off something this wacky and anachronistic. The 57 looks evoked, through their sheer number, as well as through the tensions created by diagonal, vertical and horizontal lines on multiple-layered ensembles in blue, red and gray, the feeling of a jostling army. Red disk motifs, a reference to both the modern computer and a primitive symbol, recurred on knee-length apron skirts as well as long and short-sleeved vests.
But what truly made the show a coup was that among all this intellectual musing, most of the looks were completely wearable.
"True style has no rules," designer Maria Grazia Chiuri said of the collection – only the second menswear outing in Paris for the storied Italian house.
The Valentino show, with a uniform theme, was more coherent than last season - and felt as if Chiuri and her design partner Pier Paolo Piccioli were finding their feet in this new territory for Valentino, a label that's known principally for its womenswear.
The idea of "no rules" played out in the 47 looks – mostly to good effect – where uniform was broken up and subverted. The show's opener was the most successful example of this, with the uniformity of the bread-and-butter sharply tailored suits broken up with contrasting bands of blue dye.
However, in some of the military-inspired looks, a dalliance with camouflage didn't feel very fresh.
California-born designer Rick Owens can always be expected to produce the most high-octane menswear show of the day.
But what was certainly not expected was the appearance of Estonia's punk-metal group Winny Puhh dangling upside down in lycra leotards blasting out a tune on an electric banjo. So bizarre was the spectacle that, when the 38 all-black looks (plus the two contrasting white ones) starting filing by, revellers didn't immediately take notice.
Despite this, it turned out to be a strong collection.
Simple black forms in leather, sheer paneling and with zippers formed a dropped-waist monochrome silhouette that ended mostly above the knee. There was a distinct feeling of the rebellious adolescent – the goth that dresses only in black – that pervaded the looks. After the show, Owens described the collection as "energy with a wink." But when the metal music stopped, energy with a headache was nearer the mark.

China to Double Oil Capacity by 2013 0 comments
What does this mean? It means that it see's use doubling so it is increasing capacity by double by 2013.
China works to double SPR capacity by 2013
Oct 4, 2010 By Liutong Zhang and Kang Wu
China is moving quickly on construction of its Phase II strategic petroleum reserve and FACTS Global Energy believes most SPR Phase II sites will come on stream by 2012-13, doubling China's SPR capacity. China will also expand commercial crude storage capacity by about 18 million cu m (about 113 million bbl) by end 2012.
As a market with huge growth potential, China has also attracted interest in its crude storage business from foreign companies. But barriers for foreign investment in the crude oil storage business, however, still exist.
The rapid expansion of Chinese crude oil storage capability, coupled with the robust growth in oil demand, will substantially increase China's demand for crude imports.
China became the world's second largest crude oil importer in 2009 and is set to import even more crude in the future to feed its rapidly expanding refining sector in the face of stagnant domestic production growth. The increased imports have prompted expansion of crude storage facilities, both strategic and commercial.
Storage capacity and flow of crude in and out of storage facilities have become one of the major factors in determining China's demand for imported oil. As a market with huge growth potential, China has also attracted investment interest in its crude storage business from foreign companies.
This article updates developments in China's strategic petroleum reserve and commercial crude storage since 2009 (OGJ, Sept. 21, 2009, p 64).
China's SPR
Fig. 1 shows the time line of China's SPR program, the primary goal of which is to reduce the impact of potential crude oil supply disruptions. China officially formalized the SPR program in the 10th Five-Year Program in 2001 and construction started on the 5.8 million cu m Zhenhai base 3 years later, completing SPR Phase I with a total capacity of 16.4 million cu m in 2008

We live in Jacksonville, Florida. I was raised Southern Baptist and republican but I am now agnostic and pretty moderate mostly leaning Democrat these days. I am pretty much Democrat but I haven't been able to admit it yet. Blame it on how I was raised. My husband considers himself Libertarian. I cuss a lot, I am a wine *****, and I love to watch funny and scary movies. I am addicted to FB and I love to cook! I am currently a SAHM but every once in a while I help my friend out with her business. We just bought our first house and it's so exciting. We are getting the hang of landscaping and house projects. :) I have never seen snow and I have a horrible temper. Usually once a day I lock myself in a bathroom and put the shower on so I don't have to hear my daughter throw a fit over me not singing twinkle twinkle little star for the 802nd time before noon. Sometimes I put a little bit of Kahlua in my morning coffee too. ;) I pretty much wear yoga pants 24/7 because I'm still trying to lose like 50 lbs that I gained when preggo. We don't want any more kids EVER. My dad passed of lung cancer in June and my mom is currently re-living her teenage years at the age of almost 50. I love hard rock, older country, and all kinds of other music. I like baseball, football, and softball. All of that + beer and I'm happy. I play softball for my husbands work and I am usually playing short stop or pitching. I stay up way too late and get up way too early. Story of my freaking life.

Born | Frederick Benjamin Carlin 27 July 1912 Northam, Western Australia, Australia |
Died | 7 March 1981 (age 68) Perth, Western Australia, Australia |
Education | Guildford Grammar School Kalgoorlie School of Mines |
Occupation | Engineer, soldier |
Spouse(s) | Gertrude Plath (m. 1940–?) Elinore Arone (m. 1946–55) Cynthia Henderson (m. 1963–64) |

Frederick Benjamin "Ben" Carlin (27 July 1912 – 7 March 1981) was an Australian adventurer who was the first and only person to circumnavigate the world in an amphibious vehicle. Born in Northam, Western Australia, Carlin attended Guildford Grammar School in Perth, and later studied mining engineering at the Kalgoorlie School of Mines. After qualifying as an engineer, he worked on the Goldfields before in 1939 emigrating to China to work in a British coal mine. In the Second World War, Carlin was posted to the Indian Army Corps of Engineers, serving in India, Italy, and throughout the Middle East. After his discharge from service in 1946, he emigrated to the United States with his American wife, Elinore (née Arone).
Sparked by an idea he had had whilst in the military, Carlin proposed that the couple honeymoon by crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a modified Ford GPA (an amphibious version of the Ford GPW Jeep), which they named the Half-Safe. Beginning their trip in Montreal, Canada, the Carlins finally completed the transatlantic crossing in 1951, after unsuccessful attempts. From there, they travelled to Europe, temporarily settling in Birmingham to raise more money. They resumed their journey in 1954, travelling overland through the Middle East before arriving in Calcutta. After a short fundraising trip to Australia, Carlin's wife left to return to the United States. He resumed the journey with new partners, travelling through South-East Asia and the Far East to the northern tip of Japan, and then to Alaska. After an extended tour through the United States and Canada, he and Half-Safe finally returned to Montreal, having travelled over 17,000 kilometres (11,000 mi) by sea and 62,000 kilometres (39,000 mi) by land during a ten-year journey. Following Carlin's death in 1981, Half-Safe was acquired by Guildford Grammar, his old school, where it remains on display.
Early life and military service[edit]
Frederick Benjamin Carlin was born on 27 July 1912 to Frederick Cecil and Charlotte Amelia Carlin, in Northam, Western Australia, a small town in the state's Wheatbelt. His father had been an electrical engineer in the Western Australian Government Railways.[1] Raised in Northam, his mother died when he was aged four,[2] and, at the age of ten, he was sent to board at Guildford Grammar School in Perth.[3] After leaving school in 1929, Carlin enrolled at the School of Mines in Kalgoorlie, where he studied mining engineering. Upon his qualification as an engineer, he worked for a short period of time as a miner in the Goldfields, before transferring to work for a British coal mining company in Peking, China, in 1939.[4][1] Upon the outbreak of the Second World War, Carlin enlisted in the Indian Army. Before leaving for India, Carlin married Gertrude Maria Meredith Plath, who had been living in China with her aunt and uncle. The couple wed on 20 April 1940, at Tientsin, although they separated before the end of the war.[5]
Having originally enlisted at Shanghai,[4] Carlin was later posted to the Madras Sappers in the Indian Army Corps of Engineers. In August 1941, he was promoted to the position of second lieutenant, as part of a number of "emergency commissions" made at the start of the conflict.[6] During the war, Carlin served in India, Iraq, Persia, Palestine, Syria, and Italy,[7] and by the conflict's end had been promoted to the rank of major.[8] Towards the end of the war, Carlin met an American Red Cross volunteer nurse, Elinore Arone, who was originally from Boston. On his discharge from service in 1946, the couple emigrated to Maryland, where they were married in June 1948.[2]
Half-Safe and early preparation[edit]
Throughout the war, the Allies had made use of a number of different varieties of amphibious vehicle. One of the more commonly used was the Ford GPA, a modified version of the Ford GPW Jeep (also known as a "Seep").[9] In India towards the end of the war, Carlin had noticed a GPA in an army vehicle lot. To the mockery of his fellow engineers, he suggested that the vehicle could be used to take him around the world, supposedly remarking: "with a bit of titivation, you could go around the world in one of those things".[10][11] This idea remained with Carlin after his marriage, and he proposed to his wife that the couple honeymoon by crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a modified GPA. After a considerable amount of trouble, the Carlins finally managed to purchase a 1942 Ford GPA (serial number 1239) from a government auction in Washington, D.C., for US$901. The vehicle had originally been manufactured at Ford's plant in River Rouge, Michigan, one of 12,778 built during the war.[8] He originally tried to convince Ford to sponsor his proposed trip, but the company refused, believing the craft would not make the journey.[11] The vehicle required a number of modifications to make it seaworthy, including the addition of a more boat-like bow, a rudder, a larger cabin, and two extra fuel tanks – one at the bow and one under the "belly" of the craft, at the stern.[12] Inside the cabin, a bunk was installed, and the dash was modified to include aircraft instruments, as well as a two-way radio (including a 19-set transmitter and receiver). In total, the vessel's length was extended by three feet to 18 feet (5.5 m), and the fuel capacity to 200 gallons (760 L) from the original 12 gallons (45 L).[13] The construction of the under-belly fuel tank allowed it to be jettisoned when empty, reducing further its full weight of three tons (6,720 lb or 3,048 kg).[14] The vessel was christened Half-Safe, after the slogan of Arrid, a deodorant brand – "Don't be half-safe – use Arrid to be sure".[11]
Failure of first attempts[edit]
The couple began testing their craft in 1947, and experienced problems with carbon monoxide removal, with the vessel's enclosed structure potentially increasing the risks of carbon monoxide poisoning.[12] The Carlins chose Montreal, Canada, as the official starting point of their circumnavigation attempt. They set out from the city in late 1947 for New York City, where they were to launch Half-Safe for the first time, with the intention of crossing the Atlantic via the Azores.[11] A trial run was made in early January 1948, watched by "crowds of sceptical waterside workers".[15] The couple's first attempt to complete the transatlantic crossing occurred on 16 June 1948, launching from New York Harbor. Cheered on by "100 amazed wharf labourers", they were first washed up-river by a strong tide, but then made their way out into the Atlantic at a speed of five knots.[16] The Carlins failed to maintain radio contact, prompting a search by the United States Coast Guard.[17] The craft was eventually landed five days after its departure, 40 miles (64 km) south of New York City near the Shark River inlet in New Jersey.[18] The couple had experienced problems with the steering gear and rudder, which made the vessel unable to steer at sea unless the wheel was constantly manned.[19] With Half-Safe sailed back to New York, the Carlins commenced their journey for a second time on 3 July,[20] but were once again forced back to shore a few days later, this time after nearly being asphyxiated due to a cracked exhaust pipe.[1]
A third attempt was made in late July, but was again not successful due to the mechanical troubles and heavy seasickness the Carlins experienced.[21][22] The Carlins set out for a fourth time in early August, and progressed further, being sighted several days after their launch by an American destroyer almost 200 miles (320 km) off of New York.[23] However, the couple soon lost radio contact, prompting Pan-American Airways to direct their crews to search for their craft.[24] Half-Safe and the Carlins were finally rescued approximately 270 miles (430 km) off New York by the oil tanker New Jersey, bound for Halifax, Nova Scotia.[25] Seven days into the voyage, a propeller bearing had welded itself fast due to lack of lubrication, leaving the vessel to drift aimlessly for a further ten days without means of steering it or navigating.[11] According to a message Carlin radioed from the tanker to his friends in New York, the couple "drifted and fished", enjoying a "pleasant life, cheaper than Atlantic City".[26] At the time of the couple's rescue, he considered abandoning the entire voyage, but was convinced to continue by the tanker's Norwegian captain, who greeted Carlin with the words: "Hell, you're not going to leave that god-damned Jeep lying around?!"[12]
Transatlantic crossing[edit]
The Carlins' fourth failed attempt in two months led them to abandon the project for a period of time in order to raise more money. With the New Jersey arriving in Halifax two weeks after their rescue, Carlin took up a position with a local marine salvage firm, while his wife returned to her family in Boston, and worked in a law office.[27] One final attempt was considered in November 1948, but postponed due to the approaching winter weather, with Half-Safe stored in a Halifax garage.[28] In mid 1949, the couple began to ready Half-Safe for a further attempt at the crossing. Testing in late August revealed a burnt-out clutch,[29] which was repaired, and Carlin recognised the need for much larger amounts of fuel. To achieve this extra capacity, two fuel tanks were tied behind Half-Safe, painted bright yellow to aid visibility from the air. Further alterations were also made to the craft's superstructure, and extra stabilising rudders were added.[27] The Carlins launched again in early September 1949. When the vessel was 35 miles (56 km) off shore, both of the auxiliary fuel tanks were lost, necessitating return to Halifax.[30] Carlin almost decided to abandon the journey and liquidate Half-Safe, but was convinced by his wife to continue.[12]
When they struck a hurricane between the Azores and Madeira, and the superstructure looked like caving in, he got Elinore to recite the escape drill out loud in the tumult: "You shout 'OUT' – I get out and wait. You follow and grab the gear. I follow you – KEEP IN CONTACT!" They couldn't inflate and board the raft in that sea, and provided that the equipment wasn't wrenched from their grip they should be able to go on living, even though they carried no life jackets, for both were strong swimmers. He warned her: "Keep your face down and away from the spray – it hurts."
Over the following six months, the Carlins again made modifications to their vessel, with the most important being a large, purpose-built tank that was to be towed behind the craft. This increased the total fuel capacity of Half-Safe to 735 gallons (3,337 L), with the vessel also carrying 30 gallons (136 L) of water, eight gallons (36 L) of oil, and six weeks' worth of provisions.[12] The couple left Halifax on 19 July 1950, and, after a 32-day voyage, arrived on Flores, the most westerly island of the Azores.[11] Their landing was well-received, with LIFE featuring the crossing in a multiple-page article later that year, which also featured many of the Carlins' photographs.[32] However, the journey had not occurred without mishap – Carlin was forced to remove the cylinder head several times in order to clean the carbon from the valves and replace the head gasket, and the couple lost radio contact halfway through the voyage, leading to fears they had been lost at sea. From Flores, the couple progressed to Horta on the island of Faial, a distance of 150 miles (240 km).[33] They then travelled to Madeira, having obtained surplus fuel from a passing Portuguese cruiser midway through the trip.[34] Although originally expected to head directly to Lisbon, Portugal, from Madeira,[35] the couple instead chose to head for Morocco via the Canary Islands, coming ashore at Cap Juby in the Spanish territory of Rio de Oro on 23 February 1951.[36]
From Cap Juby, the Carlins drove north through the coastal regions of Morocco to Europe. The hot daytime temperatures, which reportedly reached 170 °F (77 °C) within the vehicle's cabin, necessitated that Half-Safe be driven exclusively at night.[8] The vehicle reached Casablanca, French Morocco, on 16 March 1951, and the British territory of Gibraltar in mid April, after it was sailed across the Straits of Gibraltar.[37] From there, the Carlins drove through a number of European countries, where they engaged in sight-seeing, before finally sailing across the English Channel and concluding the first part of their journey in Birmingham, where they arrived on 1 January 1952.[38]
Europe and the Middle East[edit]
Tired, weary, and lacking in money, the Carlins decided to remain in England to rest and recuperate. Throughout the journey from Nova Scotia to the Azores, both Carlin and his wife had suffered from severe hallucinations, including one instance where he had jerked awake to find himself 60° off course.[31] Another important objective of their time in Britain was to repair Half-Safe, which had sustained large amounts of damage during the crossing, not least from Hurricane Charlie, which battered the vessel whilst it was amongst the islands of Macaronesia. The repairs to the craft were accomplished with the help of RAF Group Captain Malcolm Bunting, who had served alongside Carlin in India. To raise money for the continuation of the journey, Half-Safe was exhibited in department stores throughout Europe. During this time, Carlin also completed Half Safe: Across the Atlantic by Jeep, a book chronicling the first half of their journey, which sold 32,000 copies and was translated into five languages.[11] The book was generally well received, with a reviewer in The Montreal Gazette describing Carlin as "an adventurer of the old school – full of the explorer's instinct, and with a dry wit that makes his story an odd mixture of high-adventure and real understatement".[39]
The Carlins set out again in early 1955, arriving in France on 22 April 1955.[13] The vehicle continued through Switzerland, northern Italy, and Yugoslavia, where in May 1955, it was reported that Half-Safe had had its first flat tire, whilst travelling through Belgrade.[40] The Carlins then continued through Greece and Turkey, sailing across the Bosphorus to Asia Minor, before progressing through Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan to Calcutta, India.[12] Carlin later noted: "the 2000 miles across the Atlantic from Nova Scotia to the Azores were in many ways much less worrying than a similar distance covered on murderous roads in Persia".[41] At Calcutta, the Carlins decided to transport Half-Safe to Australia via steamer. At the start of his voyage, Carlin had said he would not travel to Australia or New Zealand, because petrol was "too dear" there.[15] However, a lack of funding meant the side trip was necessary. The trip also allowed Carlin to meet with his family, who still lived in Perth – his brother, Tom Carlin, had become a captain in the Royal Australian Navy, and was actively involved in nuclear weapons testing on the Montebello Islands in 1952, as part of Operation Hurricane.[42]
Far East and return to North America[edit]
Half-Safe's Australian tour began in late October 1955 in Perth, where Carlin grew up, and included a tour of his old school, Guildford Grammar. The Carlins then went to Adelaide, and subsequently progressed to Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane.[41] Half-Safe was returned to Calcutta on a steamship in January 1956. However, Elinore, Carlin's wife, left the trip in Australia, having finally tired of the long travel and the constant seasickness she was experiencing.[12] Carlin continued his journey alone, with the first leg consisting of a sea voyage from Calcutta to Akyab, Burma, across the Bay of Bengal. At Akyab, he was joined by Hanley Barry, another Australian. The two met on Burma's coast in late February 1956, and from there crossed the Arakan Yoma mountain ranges to the Irrawaddy River, where the vehicle was bogged down in mud for two days. After extricating Half-Safe from the mire, the pair progressed to Rangoon, arriving on 11 March.[43] From Burma, Half-Safe was driven overland to Bangkok, Thailand, and from there to Saigon, on the coast of Indochina.[44] From there, Carlin and Barry set out to sail from Indochina to Japan, passing through several ports and islands in the South China Sea. Upon his arrival in Hong Kong in early May 1956, Carlin was "mobbed by autograph-seeking girls", having been delayed on his voyage by engine trouble and headwinds in the South China Sea.[45] He arrived in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, in early June, and from there travelled to Keelung on the northern tip of Taiwan, and Okinawa, part of the American-administered Ryukyu Islands.[46] Carlin and Barry drove ashore at Kagoshima Prefecture at the southern tip of Japan in July 1956, and from there drove overland to Tokyo.[47] Barry returned to Australia at this stage, while Carlin rested in Japan, again performing much-needed repairs. An American journalist for The Japan Times, Boyé Lafayette de Mente (originally of Phoenix, Arizona), offered to accompany Carlin on the journey from Japan to Alaska, departing in early 1957 for the first stage of the trip from Tokyo to Wakkanai, Hokkaidō. The pair left Tokyo on 1 May 1957 to great fanfare, cheered off from the Mainichi and Yomiuri Newspaper buildings. The craft sprung a leak while crossing the Tsugaru Strait, separating the southern island of Honshu from Hokkaidō, and collided with submerged rocks near the port of Muroran.[48] They finally reached Wakkanai on 12 June 1957, despite what de Mente later described as Carlin's aggression and "irascible character" during the trip.[49]
Carlin's aim was to travel directly from Wakkanai to Shemya, a small island in the Near Islands group of the Semichi Islands chain, part of the Aleutian Islands running southwest of the Alaskan mainland. The craft was carrying enough fuel to last for approximately 21 days, but did not make contact within this time, causing the US Coast Guard's search and rescue station to be notified.[50] Half-Safe finally landed on Shemya on 8 July, with the pair having made an unexpected detour to visit the town of Petropavlovsk on the Kamchatka Peninsula, at the time part of the Russian SFSR.[51] From Shemya, Carlin and de Mente sailed to Adak Island, a distance of 350 miles (560 km), then a further 580 miles (930 km) to Cold Bay, and thence along the Aleutian island chain to the mainland town of Homer, arriving in late August.[52][53] Carlin and de Mente then drove Half-Safe overland to Anchorage, where de Mente flew home to Phoenix. He would go on to write Once a Fool: From Tokyo to Alaska by Amphibious Jeep, a detailed account of his experiences with Carlin and Half-Safe, as well as becoming a prolific author on topics relating to Mesoamerica and East Asia, publishing over 100 books.[49] Carlin subsequently drove solo to Seattle, Washington, arriving in early November 1957.[54] Whilst travelling the Alaska Highway in British Columbia, he encountered the collapsed Peace River Suspension Bridge. While other motorists queued for a nearby ferry, Carlin simply drove Half-Safe into the river and across to the other side.[55] Continuing on to San Francisco, California, where he met his wife for the first time in two years, Carlin then continued onwards through the United States and north to Canada. He arrived in Toronto, Ontario, on 10 May 1958,[56] and three days later arrived in Montreal, where he finally completed his ten-year journey.[57] He and Half-Safe had travelled 17,780 kilometres (11,050 mi) by sea and 62,744 kilometres (38,987 mi) by land over ten years, passing through 38 countries and over two oceans, with the entire trip costing him around $35,000.[3][58]
Later life and legacy[edit]

After the conclusion of the trip, Half-Safe remained in the United States, where it was occasionally exhibited by Carlin's friend George Calimer, who was a co-owner of the vehicle. Carlin remained in the country for a period, appearing on the lecture circuit, before returning to Perth, where he took up residence in Cottesloe. Having divorced his second wife Elinore by December 1955, Carlin wed for a third time on 1 June 1963 in the United States, marrying Cynthia Henderson. Although the couple's marriage was short-lived, the union produced one daughter, Deirdre Scott Carlin, who was born in March 1964.[2] Carlin died in Perth in March 1981, of a heart attack, and was cremated at Karrakatta Cemetery.[2] His second wife, Elinore, who completed the first half of his journey alongside him, died in 1996 in New York City.[8] Carlin left his share in Half-Safe to his old school, Guildford Grammar, as well as a sizeable endowment for the purposes of funding a scholarship. He had previously offered the craft to the Western Australian Maritime Museum, which declined the offer due to a lack of exhibition space.[59] The Guildford Grammar School Foundation subsequently purchased the other share in the vehicle, transferring it to the school's campus in Guildford, Western Australia. The school also posthumously published The Other Half of Half-Safe, which detailed the second portion of Carlin's journey.[60] In 1999, the craft was transported by truck across Australia to Corowa, New South Wales, where it featured in an annual celebration on the Murray River, along with 16 other amphibious vehicles from the Second World War.[8] Half-Safe is currently exhibited in a specially-made glass enclosure at Guildford Grammar's main campus.[13] Money from Carlin's estate was used to found the Charlotte Carlin Scholarship (named for his mother), awarded for "the proficiency of the English language with the avoidance of clichés".[60] Guinness World Records recognises Carlin as having completed the "first and only circumnavigation by an amphibious vehicle".[61]

I used to be on a very low sleeping schedule due to insomnia but found a way to curve this problem like OP. I feel disgusted upon waking up from these night sweats. What sucks even more is these night sweats are commonly associated with bad dreams, VERY bad dreams. Can't pin-point what is the cause but I've been dreading to go to sleep nowadays. [/quote] I feel like a lot of emotional bagagge is being cleared through our dreams and in our real life. Things I have not thought about for YEARS are coming back up and I am having to deal with them...its hard to explain but if you experience that feeling or memory trigger its this wave of emotion that you have to deal with. I think our dreamlike state can sometimes help us with this...it can be very uncomfortable at times tho! [/quote] Well said, we're experiencing an internal karma type process. The course of the cycle has tragedy before triumph. :hf: [/quote] I agree...I go through total waves of emotion, been like this most of my life and have learned over time to try and manage it. Its this weird internal battle for yourself and defining who you are and what your place is in life. We learn from this and get to finally know our true selves. [/quote] I like what you said about energy in another thread i posted in. We're very powerful bodies of energy exchanging outlets of infinite charges to anything that picks it up. I think the brain/receiver has been kicked up a few notches and our bodies are compensating by flushing our bodies out through swear. A cleansing. :) [/quote] Thanks for reading my other thread :) WHich one did you post in? I don't have it set to update me when people post in an older thread! I totally think our bodies/DNA act like an antennae to send/receive information to and from the environment around us. The more we tap in, the more we change and EVolve or DE-evolve (as most people are just zombies nowadays) tuning into the lower frequencies (what they eat, listen to, EMFs, etc around us) [/quote] OOps I read what you said wrong :) lol which other thread did you comment in? [/quote]
Original Message
I used to have problems with sleep...basically an insomniac, but over the last year I have really worked to maintain a healthy diet and overall lifestyle. I have kept a great sleep cycle 7.5-8 hrs the last 6 months to a year or so and really have been pleased with some of the changes I made to my lifestyle so I could get some better zzzz's.
I am not currently sick and don't have ANY other symptoms of something else going on, actually had more energy the last week or so than normal, I use melatonin most nights, and I sleep grounded, but the last week or so I have woken up 5/7 nights and have almost sweated through my sheets every night!
Anyone else having problems with their internal thermometers at night!? I feel like I am waking up drenched in sweat about 3-4 am a few nights just in the last week!
I know some DNA/lightbody awakening can happen at night, so perhaps this is related to the slight increase in solar activity the last week or so, but I just wanted to check to see if anyone else was having some odd sleep disturbances.
