"The gold standard of the performance-trainer category by Runner's World."
"A lightweight neutral running shoe… flat and flexible, very appropriate for fitness walkers and runners."
"A shoe that can see you through a tough 9-mile hike and many 6-mile walking workouts and a joy to wear."
"Walkers will appreciate the addition of flex grooves in the midsole and outsole that improve its flexibility."
"Light and flexible yet providing enough support and cushion for your walking workouts."
"Lightweight, flexible shoe has been a favorite lightweight performance shoe for many years."
"The split-toe design lets you toe-off more powerfully… and help walkers achieve a quick, powerful stride."
The DS Trainer is a favorite for a lightweight training shoe that also provides some stability. It is called the gold standard of the performance-trainer category by Runner's World. The models keep getting lighter, and the weight is down to just over 7 ounces. They also made the upper seamless so there are fewer spots for irritation and possible blistering. If you walk in the rain, you'll appreciate the Wet Grip outsole that gives you better traction on wet pavement. This is a good choice to check out when you are shopping for a performance training shoe.
The Ryka Indigo is a lightweight neutral running shoe that has a good amount of cushioning. It is flat and flexible, very appropriate for fitness walkers as well as runners. It has a little bit of arch support in the insole. They come in regular and wide.
This shoe is impressive in how light and comfortable it is. It is designed for heel-strikers, which is good for a walking stride. The Ghost has a nearly seamless upper. For those who need a waterproof shoe, it comes in a GTX version with Gore-tex to keep out the rain. This is a shoe that can see you through a tough 9-mile hike and many 6-mile walking workouts. They are a joy to wear.
The 1080 has been a favorite model for New Balance for several years. Now they've improved it and rebranded it as the Fresh Foam 1080. It has more cushioning and an extra-wide footprint. Walkers will appreciate the addition of flex grooves in the midsole and outsole that improve its flexibility. If you have difficulty with your shoes having a sloppy fit, the interior bootie fit system will help keep your foot in place. This shoe is built for neutral feet and is flexible and comfortable. It has enough cushioning for longer mileage, such as training for the half marathon distance. New Balance shoes come in widths, which is appreciated by those with wide feet. New Balance has been changing its shoe lasts, so be sure to try on this shoe if you've worn past models to ensure it still fits you right.
The lighter the shoe, the faster you can walk. The Kinvara borders on being a minimalist shoe, with very lightweight construction. Wearers love them for being light and flexible yet providing enough support and cushion for your walking workouts. They would probably be best for walks of two hours or less rather than long-distance training.
The minimalist upper fits more closely around the ankle and feels more secure compared to the previous versions, according to women who have bought this model. The toe box shape changes from version to version so you may want to try on a pair of these shoes at a running store. These shoes are very flat, with a heel drop of only 4 millimeters, which is very good for a walking shoe. Saucony also says they have made this version even more cushioned and flexible while not adding any weight.
This lightweight, flexible shoe has been a favorite lightweight performance shoe for many years. The Pegasus comes in widths, including narrow, normal and wide, and in male and female specific designs. Since the Pegasus 31 model, the upper has been redesigned and the shoes have an even lower heel drop of 10 mm. That means they are flatter, which is better for walkers. They have become even lighter while maintaining good cushioning for longer walks. The upper features an interior bootie to give you a good fit. It won the Best Buy Award from Runner's World.
Brooks launches into the new trend of flatter shoes and rounded heels, which are design elements that walkers need. They also construct it with a split-toe design that lets you toe-off more powerfully. Those elements help walkers achieve a quick, powerful stride. Yet it has enough cushioning for a cushy feel. It has a seamless upper to eliminate edges that can rub your feet wrong and lead to blisters.

"All art is erotic. The first ornament that was born, the cross, was erotic in origin. The first work of art, the first artistic act which the first artist, in order to rid himself of his surplus energy, smeared on the wall. A horizontal dash: the prone woman. A vertical dash: the man penetrating her." --Ornament and Crime, 1910, Adolf Loos
Adolf Loos (December 10, 1870 in Brno, Moravia–August 8, 1933 in Vienna, Austria) was an early-20th century Viennese architect, noted for one particular essay/manifesto entitled Ornament and Crime.
1 Architectural theory
2 Major works
3 Architectural work
In his essays, Loos was fond of using the provocative catch phrase and has become noted for one particular essay/manifesto entitled Ornament and Crime written in 1908, in which he repudiated the florid style of the Vienna Secession, the Austrian version of Art Nouveau.
In this essay, he explored the idea that the progress of culture is associated with the deletion of ornament from everyday objects, and that it was therefore a crime to force craftsmen or builders to waste their time on ornamentation that served to hasten the time when an object would become obsolete. Perhaps surprisingly, Loos' own architectural work is often elaborately decorated. The visual distinction is not between complicated versus plain, but between "organic" and superfluous decoration.
Loos was also interested in the decorative arts, collecting sterling silver and high quality leather goods, which he noted for their plain yet luxurious appeal. He also enjoyed fashion and men's clothing, designing the famed Knize of Vienna, a haberdashery.
Loos is known for his entry to the 1922 Chicago Tribune competition, which took the form of a single colossal Doric column. But it was in the field of private houses that he most completely developed his unique spatial language.

A house and studio for Dadaist Tristan Tzara in the Montmartre section of Paris, France, 1926
Khuner Villa, Kreuzberg, Austria, 1930
Villa Müller, Prague, Czech Republic, 1930
Architectural work
Loos' work, although varied in style, is most known for a period of houses of highly stereometric form and white color. The exteriors were greatly simplified in ornament. The interiors were, constrastingly, highly complex spatially and materially luxurious.

The artists behind songs such as "Taxman," "Baby, You're a Rich Man" and "Money (That's What I Want)" offer the ultimate business case study, according to a forthcoming book about the Fab Four.
Called "Come Together: The Business Wisdom of The Beatles," authors Richard Courtney and George Cassidy chronicle how four teenagers from Liverpool, England, built a multi-billion-dollar franchise with multigenerational and global appeal. They also strive to dispel an apparent widespread myth that the Fab Four were terrible businessmen by arguing that their band's legacy lives on today, more than 50 years after debuting.

I think we should be grateful, particularly as women, that we have some power to control our image, and are given a platform to have a voice.
As my exams come to an end, I'm thinking about the direction I want to take my blog, my career and all that goes with it. I have many interests and passions, many of which I've rejected from sharing on my blog on the basis that conventional wisdom suggests it is better to focus on one or two key things. This has also coincided with a recent, rather cliché, existential crisis of what I want to do with my career, even though I still have a few years of education to go. Yes, I'm thinking about it, and there are so many different paths and directions I could take that I'm wondering what choices I can make now and what impact they will have.
Living in this age, I have a platform to share my interests, engage with others and develop my digital identity. But what do I do if I haven't really figured out my self yet, let alone my brand?
I define this blog as 'Fashion and Culture'. I've written on feminist issues, on travel, on fashion shows, even occasionally political issues, and I'm actually thinking about a piece on the EU referendum. The umbrella of 'fashion and culture' may not cover all I write about, but I see no need to be too proscriptive.
Outside of my blog, I'm on instagram. I love it, and it's a fantastic platform. But how influential and defining is an instagram bio? Given the nature of instagram and the way people engage with it, I think that the bio is enormously important if you're trying to build a following. But how do I define myself in the context of instagram? I am a student. I am interested in fashion, culture and feminism and increasingly interested in social and political issues. I love to write. I love to photograph. I love to draw. I'm starting to make films. Like most I have strong views on music, and play it myself. Travel, food, exercise, health. These are just some of the things I'm interested in and might post a photo of. So how do I sum that up in a compelling but short bio? Do I need to?
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this in the comments. Are we blessed for having such an issue in the sense that we have some control of our image and our public identity? Or does it constrain us, does it put us in a box? Let me know your thoughts.
I think it's so easy to get caught up in all this. So many people talk non stop about personal branding etc etc but I think it comes naturally. To keep an open mind, chill, and just focus on the things you enjoy and that's the best way to build it.
Yeah I agree. I think it's really easy to overthink it!

"The Rose and the Thistle" by Laura Frantz
In 1715, Lady Blythe Hedley's father is declared an enemy of the British crown because of his Jacobite sympathies, forcing her to flee her home in northern England. Secreted to the tower of Wedderburn Castle in Scotland, Lady Blythe awaits who will ultimately be crowned king. But in a house with seven sons and numerous servants, her presence soon becomes known.
No sooner has Everard Hume lost his father, Lord Wedderburn, than Lady Hedley arrives with the clothes on her back and her mistress in tow. He has his own problems--a volatile brother with dangerous political leanings, an estate to manage, and a very young brother in need of comfort and direction in the wake of losing his father. It would be best for everyone if he could send this misfit heiress on her way as soon as possible.
Drawn into a whirlwind of intrigue, shifting alliances, and ambitions, Lady Blythe must be careful whom she trusts. Her fortune, her future, and her very life are at stake. Those who appear to be adversaries may turn out to be allies--and those who pretend friendship may be enemies.
It took a little bit to get into the rhythm and flow of the language of the book, but I was entranced by the setting. This time period fascinates me and I kept stopping to look up things online for more information about the time period and the kings and etc. I liked Blythe and Everard and wondered if they actually would fall in love as they were so at odds at first. I found the book to be well written and interesting. I look forward to reading more books by Laura Frantz.
Christy Award-winning author, Laura Frantz, is passionate about all things historical, particularly the 18th-century, and writes her manuscripts in longhand first. Her stories often incorporate Scottish themes that reflect her family heritage. She is a direct descendant of George Hume, Wedderburn Castle, Berwickshire, Scotland, who was exiled to the American colonies for his role in the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715, settled in Virginia, and is credited with teaching George Washington surveying in the years 1748-1750. Proud of her heritage, she is also a Daughter of the American Revolution. When not at home in Kentucky, she and her husband live in Washington State.
According to Publishers Weekly, "Frantz has done her historical homework." With her signature attention to historical detail and emotional depth, she is represented by Janet Kobobel Grant, Literary Agent & Founder, Books & Such Literary Agency of Santa Rosa, California. Foreign language editions include French, Dutch, Spanish, Slovakian, German & Polish.

"Every Flower of the Field" by Sara Davison
Book: Every Flower of the Field
Author: Sara Davison
Safe is the most dangerous feeling of all.
For as long as she can remember, Rose Galway has been a captive, controlled by one man or another. To her, though, God is the one holding the keys, refusing to set her free despite the desperate pleas she has sent heavenward.
Detective Laken Jones has known hardship too, including the daily trauma of racism. Still, nothing he has gone through compares to what Rose has endured.
He wants nothing more than for her to experience hope and healing and maybe even happiness in her life.
But first he has to find her.
Laken is willing to risk everything to set Rose free. And to help her find her way to God. Even if that means letting go of her—and the future he envisions for the two of them—forever.
Excerpt 3
The neighbor, a man in his fifties or sixties who looked like he normally wore a suit and tie to work but tonight wore a red T-shirt and gray track pants, stopped a couple of feet from the gates. After he'd scanned Laken's identification, his shoulders relaxed slightly. Good. Apparently, race wasn't going to be an issue. Laken slid the badge into his inside pocket. "Are you the one who called in the report of banging?"
The neighbor nodded. "Yes. It's been going on for close to an hour now. I wasn't sure whether to bother you over a noise, but when it went on for that long I started to wonder if someone might be in trouble."
"I'm glad you called. I'd like to get onto the property so I can check the place out, but the gate is locked. Do you by any chance have a ladder I could borrow?"
He pursed his lips and studied Laken a moment before nodding. Then he strode to a panel on one of the columns next to the gate, lifted the cover, and typed in a code. Laken stepped back as the gates slid slowly open. "I have a ladder in the garage."

"On My Honor" by Patty Smith Hall
Book: On My Honor
Author: Patty Smith Hall
Genre: Christian / Historical Fiction / Romance / Intrigue
Release date: January, 2023
Ginny Mathis was finished with nursing school and had no intention of staying rooted in the Outer Banks—then war broke out. With her father away, she feels duty-bound to stay and help her mother and younger sister. While working as a clerk for the Oregon Inlet ferry, naval officers ask Ginny and others to be watchful for German U-boats reportedly spotted in the area. So to help occupy her teenage sister, Ginny enlists the Girl Scout troop she leads to help watch for suspicious activity along the coast.
Timothy Elliott is no stranger to death. As a British reporter working with the M-6, he's numb to the losses of war after two years of fighting the Germans. Maybe that's why he volunteered for this mission—to connect with an ex-German naval officer who stole the Furor's battle plan for the Atlantic war. When the boat giving him passage to New York is bombed near the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Tim is thrown from the boat and wakes up in the care of a group of young girls.
Ginny follows her sneaky sister on a clandestine mission and discovers the shipwreck victim. Ginny knows she must take charge, but is this man the enemy, or does he hold secrets that could turn the tide of the Battle of the Atlantic in the allies' favor?
I have been reading all the books in the Heroines of WWII series and that has introduced me to some new to me authors. Patty Smith Hall is one of those new to me authors. I enjoyed reading the book overall but there were a few things that just didn't make sense to me. When Tim first meets the Girl Scouts who rescue him, he tells them he is looking for a "friend" that he was traveling with, but then is surprised that they know about him. Also, Ginny is given a picture of Tim and Rolf by the Coast Guard, but then the leader of the Coast Guard is surprised she knows what Rolf looks like. Also, there was a big thing made about Tim's British accent, but Ginny and Belle's mom was from Britain and she would have had an accent, too, so it would have been normal, not unusual. I wasn't aware of the German attacks so close to the US shore so it was interesting reading about this part of history. I really liked the biblical faith element and the characters praying and wanting to do the right thing. I look forward to reading more books in this series.
Multi-published author Patty Smith Hall lives near the North Georgia Mountains with her husband, Danny. When she's not writing on her back porch, she's spending time with her family or working in her vegetable garden.
More from Patty
Did you know that the Girl Scouts (or Girl Guides) serviced as spies on HIs Majesty's Secret Service during World War One? I didn't either until I picked up a book on female spies at my local Barnes and Noble. There were only two paragraphs about how the girls worked with the MI5 for the duration of the war. It was enough to get my heart pumping!
Being a former Girl Scout myself, I was amazed at what these young girls did to help our country during the war. What activities did the Girl Scouts/Girl Guides do in World War II? Anything asked of them. They organized drives for anything from fat (to make bullets) to paper, stepped into positions left vacant by men serving on the front and worked Victory gardens to provide food for their community. They did so many things, I can't begin to name them all here. By March 1944, the Girl Scouts had provided over 15 million volunteer hours toward the war effort.
Isn't that amazing? No wonder I had to write a book about them!

"Refining Josie" by Corolyn Miller
Book: Refining Josie
Author: Carolyn Miller
Genre: Christian Contemporary Romance
What'll it take for the prodigal daughter to share her deepest secrets… and her heart?
Josephine Green returns to the islands in an attempt to reconcile with her family, but with a cloud over the family business, and little in the way of gardening skills, Josie's painful past and flaky ways prove less than endearing for Greener Gardens' hardworking crew.
Stuck without any other options, Josie is forced to accept her sister's offer of a job that takes her to Breakers Head where she encounters Aussie teacher, Lachlan Jones.
A long-lost relative might've brought Lachie to a tiny music recording studio on the Independence Islands, but it's also brought questions about how to care for someone he barely knows, especially considering he's the last family she has. Questions regarding his future soon pale when he encounters the vibrant-haired Josie, whose sass and attitude takes some getting used to.
Neither imagined more until they began to bond over music and environmental causes. Both discover that first impressions need not be lasting ones.
But with the future of Gardens Gardens looking shaky, and Josie's faith and self-worth just as tenuous, can deepening a friendship into something more ever work? And what happens when Lachlan's work means he has to return to Australia after Christmas? What'll it take for two hearts to heal and make a future possible?
This Breakers Head novel is Carolyn Miller's final book in the Independence Islands Series featuring five islands, six authors, and a boatload of happily-ever-afters.
The Independence Islands Series: beach reads aren't just for summer anymore.
It was nice reading this book and wrapping up the whole series. After meeting Josie in the other books in the series by Caroyln Miller, it was interesting to get to understand Josie better and why she was acting the way she was. There was a nice biblical faith thread. There were a few confusing things that I think were "British-isms" which would have worked if it was from Lachlan's point of view, but from Josie's it didn't fit. The ending felt a little unfinished with Lachlan's gift because it didn't really show what he chose to do. I think it would be nice to go back and read all the books by each author one after the other since they each generally had their own storyline and it was kind of hard to keep them all straight when you had six different overarching storylines.
Carolyn Miller lives in the beautiful Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia, with her husband and four children. Together with her husband she has pastored a church for ten years, and worked as a public high school English and Learning and Support teacher. She loves reading, music, films, gardens, art, travel and international food, and really enjoy creating worlds where flawed people can grow in faith, hope and love.
A longtime lover of romance, especially that of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer's Regency era, Carolyn holds a BA in English Literature, and loves drawing readers into fictional worlds that show the truth of God's grace in our lives.
Her novels include The Elusive Miss Ellison, The Captivating Lady Charlotte, The Dishonorable Miss DeLancey, Winning Miss Winthrop, Miss Serena's Secret, The Making of Mrs. Hale, A Hero for Miss Hatherleigh, and Underestimating Miss Cecilia, all available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Book Depository, Koorong, etc
More from Carolyn
Wow! Well, here we are celebrating the release of Refining Josie, my final book and THE final book in the Independence Islands series. It's been a journey, hasn't it? Six authors, five islands, and a boatload of happily-ever-afters.
As a long-time lover of gardens, plants, flowers and trees, it's been so fun showcasing various parts of what life could be like as someone working in the gardening industry on these islands. I'm married to a horticulturalist, who once upon a time worked at Lyme Park, which was showcased in the 1995 production of Pride and Prejudice. He has also worked at Kew Gardens in England, and it was fun to use some of his experience in these books. (You can see some of my pics on Instagram and on my website)
For Refining Josie I was glad to finally round out some of the family challenges Samantha Green and her family's 'Greener Gardens' business have had to deal with along the way, and to give Josie Green her own voice. This is a story about a prodigal daughter, and some of the 'why' behind the behavior, factors I think readers will relate and respond to well.
As an Aussie, I was also happy to include an Aussie hero, someone with some challenges of his own, so I hope you enjoy getting a tiny taste of a Hugh Jackman-esque hero.
Come visit the Independence Islands once more, and enjoy Refining Josie, a story of heart, hope, humor and a dash of Christmas romance.

"The Me I See in You" by Angeles Echols
Book: The Me I See In You
Author: Angeles Echols
Genre: Coffee Table Inspirational
Take a peek into the eyes of our future…and be encouraged.
The Me I See in You is a testament of the commitment, dedicated educators and caring communities have in changing the trajectory of young lives. In it, you'll meet graduates with incredible stories and extraordinary outcomes, thanks to the academic, emotional, and social resources provided by EYM and a caring core base of teachers, mentors, family, friends, funders, and the EYM board of directors.
"When asked what I see on the horizon for our youth, I see in my youth the essence of what it is "to be human," to dream, do the work, to love, and forgive with grace. Through tears, triumphs, disappointments, successes, failures, inequities, biases and racism, I see a world full of hope because our youth with guidance and support will not waiver. They will continue to strive to be and share their best selves with unlimited potential.
I think not only of these former students but each child that has come across my path and the me I see in each of them!" –Angeles Echols
Yvette, a little chocolate beauty who was once teased, but now with an MD and Master's degree, is a role model for young Black women and girls.
LaShia, who rolled her neck and eyes at me and adamantly told us what she was and was not going to do at EYM… I smiled and asked her mom to leave the room. (What was said in that room, we will never tell)
Todd, who sat at my desk and reviewed EYM's online programming, discovered flaws, said "Don't cry, Ms. Echols, I can fix this," and built EYM's online interactive platform, Access/No Excuse (ANE).
Adam, who built the teacher, student online tutorial component of (ANE) while attending Cal Tech and teaching at EYM part-time.
Ashley, who gave me a hug and said, "Take my credit card and get what you need for EYM. I will bring my team and design the landscape for EYM." Shot during a drive-by, she's forgiving and, refuses to be bitter.
Rob, seeking that street credit as a teen, now a film producer and director, reminds me frequently that EYM saved his life. I then remind him that he saved himself, with God's grace and the support of his family and village!
Themba, reminds me that the potential of an EYM graduate is without boundaries. Never giving up or giving in, he passed the California State Bar and continued to reach back to help others, producing the first EYM golf tournament!
Suha, a gentle soft spoken EYM graduate, now in Medical School, who became a tutor at EYM and quietly showered me with love and encouragement as an adult.
When you look upon a child whose eyes have already begun to dim due to deferred hope don't speculate on how long it will take before the light is completely extinguished—find a way to set it ablaze.
1. Who would you say inspired you the most in your life?
Early learners
2. If you could spend the day with anyone (living or dead) who would it be?
Too many to choose
3. Do you have a special writing area?
Early in the mornings, with very little light, in bed! or with a movie playing that's all action for light. When images change on the set, it keeps me up and accents my focus.
4. How do you balance writing time with the demands of life/family?
Demands of Life and Family are non-negotiable...it's a responsibility and demands a positive or negative reaction. Writing is negotiable. I do it as I feel it.
5. Anything else you would like to share?
My favorite quote from my own work.
"They told me I was a nerd, too tall, too dark, too thin, too black, hair too short and
nappy and too ugly to make it. But they never called me dumb or stupid. That I
remembered and ran with it and it taught them to respect me even if they didn't like
me! At Hamilton High School in Memphis Tenn., helping them with their math cost
them $5.00 dollars a chapter!!! Homework was $7.50 for every two assignments. I
was an entrepreneur at 16 years old. No one wanted to date me, but I was respected."
Angeles LaRose Patricia Echols was born in Memphis, Tennessee. She graduated from Cornell University, where she earned her B.A. in psychology, with an emphasis in child development and human behavior. While attending Cornell, Angeles discovered a love for the arts and teaching. In Ithaca's downtown community centers and in the local Baptist church. After much prayer and soul searching, the path was chosen for her. She would become an advocate for children: an educator and mentor, empowering children, parents, and families.
Angeles founded Educating Young Minds Tutorial Program, reaching at-risk children and their families, channeling their energies toward achieving excellence. She accomplished this by linking high expectations with socio-academic improvement, proven teaching and learning strategies and activities for students with varied needs, skills and abilities.
The truest testament to Angeles' work is the young men and women who graduate from EYM, succeed at college, and then return to their communities as role models and as leaders.
Her new book, "The Me I See In You" highlights some of the students that have graduated from EYM, accomplished many of their academic and professional goals and have come back to support EYM in various ways. You will be encouraged by their stories.
This is not Angeles Echols' first foray into writing. She is the author of interactive bio- Ray Charles, The Man. The Music, The Legacy (commissioned by the Ray Charles Foundation).
Angeles lives in California with her husband. When she is not running her business or writing, Angeles travels with her husband.
More from Angeles
As an educator, there are days filled with profound rewards. To see the light go on in a student's eyes when they grasp a concept or make a connection from one end of a logical stream of thoughts to another. Learning.
The hard work of making sure each student receives the right type of stimuli, attention, and motivation is rewarded in many different ways. Sometimes the reward comes in the form of the discovery of a new approach or technique. Other times it comes in seeing the student advance in such a way that the indelible mark they make on society or the world is a reason for celebration.
"The Me I See in You" is a celebration of some of the students that have attended Educating Young Minds, Inc. (EYM), a learning center that utilizes the holistic approach to educating and serving their students and the families of those students.
Now in their adulthood, these former students are teachers, attorneys, doctors, film producers, computer specialists, and social workers, just to name a few, and they are sharing stories on the impact EYM has had on their lives. Each of the twenty-one students also leaves the reader with a few notes of encouragement and advice.
Since this is a coffee table book in its paperback and hardback form, there is a great amount of attention given to the pictures on the covers as well as those placed in the interior.
I believe this is an exceptionally beautiful way to share encouragement and inspiration. I am proud that I was able to celebrate these students in a creative way that draws those that will read everything from cover to cover and those that just wish to scan the writing and look at the attention-grabbing pictures.

Here is what we saw. I have indicated in red the position where the ice serac fell away (for a more detail analysis of the position, see the photographs provided by my team mate, Mel Huang).
We were very lucky. Had we set off two hours earlier we may well have been swept away. Others weren't so lucky. There were as many as 100 people in the Khumbu Icefall that morning. How many were trapped by the avalanche we didn't know, but it soon became clear that a major tragedy was unfolding before our eyes.
In fact the catastrophe could hardly have happened at a worse time, or in a worse location. A ladder had fallen out of position at a steep section of the route through the Icefall, causing a bottleneck. At that moment 40 or 50 Sherpas were standing above the ladder in the path of the avalanche, waiting to come down. Many were killed instantly, not by being buried, but from shards of shattered ice exploding like shrapnel. Injuries were horrific, and many survivors and rescuers were traumatised by what they saw.
Shortly after the avalanche occurred we arrived at the foot of the Khumbu Icefall and peered up into the ice through the lenses of our cameras. We were relieved to see many little figures – survivors – still up there on the ice. We did not know then how many had been killed, but radios were crackling, and over the next few hours the true picture began to emerge.
Somewhere near the skyline we could see figures trapped above the fallen ladder and gingerly edging their way down. They were very close to the West Shoulder where the serac had fallen, as this picture shows (bottom right).
Those who were already acclimatised to the altitude, including Sherpas and western guides, headed up to the avalanche site. Some took ladders to restore the route, and others took spades to help retrieve the fallen. At around 10am helicopters began arriving to bring down the dead and injured to Base Camp, where an emergency room had been set up at the Himalayan Rescue Association's Everest Base Camp Medical Clinic.
Crowds gathered at the helipads and watched in disbelief as one by one the deceased were brought down on long lines. The helicopters returned again and again, and we lost count of the number of journeys they made.
In all 16 people died that day. It could have been anybody – a team of western clients from International Mountain Guides (IMG) were climbing through the Icefall at the time and just 15 minutes away from the tragedy – but it so happened that all of the dead came from Nepal. While not all teams lost members, all of us had those who were friends or family of the dead. It was the worst single tragedy in the history of mountaineering on Everest.
Two days after the tragedy the Government of Nepal announced they would provide 40,000 Nepalese rupees (around $400 USD) to each of the families of the deceased. This triggered a labour dispute which a week later led to the mountain being closed for climbing.
Luckily the Government of Nepal was not the families' only means of support. In the immediate aftermath of the tragedy many appeals and trust funds were set up to raise money for those who had lost family members. For example, the Chinese climbers Quingyong Zhang and Geng Zhu, part of the Everest Chinese Dream Expedition team who lost Sherpas in the avalanche, pledged 7 million Nepalese rupees (around $70,000) to the families of the victims. A fund set up by the American Alpine Club had raised $50,000 before the end of April. The Japanese climber Ken Noguchi announced he would be making a donation of 10 million yen (about $97,000). A GoFundMe page for the families of three Sherpas employed by Himalayan Guides aims to raise $50,000 and is well on the way. Sir Edmund Hillary's Himalayan Trust has so far raised another 29,000 New Zealand dollars (around $25,000 USD). National Geographic photographer Aaron Huey raised an astonishing $424,000 by selling prints over the course of 8 days. A list of other organisations accepting donations can be found on Alan Arnette's website (under General News & Notes). It is hoped these funds will be managed responsibly, so that the money finds its way to those who need and deserve it.
Viewed through the lens of time his words sound quaint and patronising, but the sentiment is genuine. Since that morning in April many people have blamed western climbers for a disaster which owed an enormous amount to terrible luck. There is an element of danger in mountaineering, as there is in sailing a yacht, driving a car, or crossing a road. Sometimes you just have to hope it doesn't happen to you; this time we came within such a whisker that all of us were scarred by it. While the wound will never fully heal, the goodwill and generosity of those who love the country of Nepal has ensured the families of the dead will not be forgotten.
Sincere condolences to all those who perished in this avalanche.Every profession , sport or vocation has its darker sides including mountaineering.As a former seafarer and now adventurer i understand the perils of doing or trying to accomplish the unthinkable which is what adventure is all about.I myself have led a charmed life escaping death on numerous occasions. At times we humans pay a high price for our adventures.Hope the deceased Sherpa families are suitably compensated.
I compared one pic taken before the avalanche with another one taken after the avalanche, found the location of that serac fell away is a little higher then that you marked.
I have marked it on a pic, how to sent it to you?
Thanks for sending the before and after photos, Mel. They're great, and I felt they deserved a separate post.
I love your self deprecating humor about no one reading your blog but you are so wrong. I absolutely loved your post and read them often. Please continue to post your adventures and I will keep reading….
I have been working on a documentary about Everest and I have come across some footage that you shot. Would you be able to let me know if I can license it for broadcast use?
It's very unlikely. I am always being asked for this footage, and I nearly always say no.

Sun News Network lives. And you won't be forced to pay for it through a mandatory tax.
The reason was simple: Sun News is not exceptional, and hence does not qualify for an exception. Though it is certainly different from the other Canadian all-news channels, it is not significantly more Canadian nor does it serve a goal of the Broadcasting Act that the other services don't.
It said it couldn't continue to operate at seven-figure losses without the distribution order. But with the announcement of the new proceeding, it says it will keep operating.
This denial was predictable. It was only in 2009 that the CRTC officially opened the genre of mainstream news channels to direct competition, allowing all of them to be treated equally and allowing the free market to dictate carriage and pricing. To then turn around four years later and start re-regulating this genre makes no sense.
But Sun News had some important and valid points to make in its favour. It argued it was being treated unfairly by competing distributors (notably Bell, which owns CTV News Channel). It said it couldn't come to deals with certain distributors, and that as a channel that provides 100% Canadian content and more than 90 hours a week of original programming, it should be treated better than channels that air reruns of Lois & Clark.
So the CRTC did what it usually does with controversial issues: It struck a compromise. No mandatory carriage, but it is proposing that all digital television distributors be required to offer all Canadian news channels to their subscribers, that they be required to group Canadian news channels together on their channel lineups, and that they be required to package Canadian news channels together.
Due to incumbency, non-Canadian services are distributed for the most part in packages that enjoy high penetration and therefore significant access to potential viewership by Canadians. These services have also secured more lucrative wholesale fees when compared to their Canadian counterparts. On average, non-Canadian news services receive a wholesale fee of $0.73 per subscriber per month, whereas English- and French-language Canadian news services receive on average a wholesale fee of $0.36 per subscriber per month.
Distributors must make Canadian national news channels available in a package and on a stand-alone basis, and require the inclusion of Canadian news services in packages that offer non-Canadian news services.
Distributors must make Canadian national news channels available in "the best available package consistent with their genre and programming" unless the channel agrees otherwise.
Distributors should file carriage agreements for Canadian national news channels and non-Canadian news channels with the CRTC within five days.
When a carriage agreement with a Canadian national news channel has not been renewed within 120 days of expiring (or agreed to within 120 days of launch for new channels), the agreement should go to the CRTC for dispute resolution unless the news channel no longer wants to be carried.
Wholesale rates for Canadian national news channels should be "based on fair market value", considering previous rates, penetration rates, volume discounts, packaging, rates paid by unaffiliated distributors, rates paid for "services of similar value to consumers", interest in the channel, and retail rates for packages or the channel by itself.
Note that these rules would apply to national news channels under Category C, not to regional news channels like CP24, or to news-like Category B channels like BNN or Argent.
As it stands now, Sun News is carried by most major television providers in Canada, including Bell, Shaw, Rogers, Videotron, Cogeco, Eastlink and Sasktel. The largest holdouts are Telus Optik TV and Manitoba's MTS.
But getting an order requiring distribution would give Sun News a leg up on negotiations. It would no longer have to beg for a spot on the dial. And submitting the channels to automatic dispute resolution would give distributors (and Sun) additional incentive to come to a deal.
The packaging requirement would give Sun News its biggest boost, requiring distributors to distribute channels like Sun News in their most popular news packages, and possibly force people to subscribe to it if they want non-Canadian channels like CNN, MSNBC or Fox News.
The exact details of how that would work will probably be worked out through this process.
One thing this won't do, though, is put Sun News on analog cable, which is still used by about 20% of Canadian television subscribers. The CRTC says it made it very clear that it will not add new services to analog cable, and it won't make an exception here. So despite Sun's arguments that its competitors are on analog cable and its viewership skews toward older Canadians who are more likely to have analog cable, it won't have access to them unless (or, likely, until) they upgrade to digital.
Expect this proposal to meet opposition, both from Sun News opponents and from distributors who oppose more rules about how they should package and number channels.
But though I have issues with forcing Sun News onto subscribers who might want CNN or MSNBC (assuming this is a result of this process), the proposal strikes a balance between the desire to encourage new Canadian news channels and the desire for consumer choice.
Remember that this policy would apply to all Canadian national news channels. If Global decided to launch one or expand its BC1 service nationally, or if a channel like BNN decided to convert to this category, it would have the same obligations and benefits.
The CRTC is accepting comments on this proposal, and has not set it in stone yet. It has not called a hearing to discuss it, and generally proposed policies presented in this way have already been decided on and will be approved. It will be up to interveners (in this case, the cable and satellite distributors or other broadcasters) to bring up any issues the CRTC may not have considered and to recommend minor changes to the policy, but the commission is unlikely to be swayed to abandon it entirely.
The CRTC is accepting comments until 8pm ET Sept. 9, and those that file comments may reply to others' comments by Sept. 24. After that, the commission will consider a decision, and the new rules could take effect within 90 days of a decision on a new policy. "The Commission intends to act swiftly on this matter," it says.

Do you believe in fairness? Do you believe in freedom? Do you believe in Canada? Do you believe in puppies?
Both Sun News Network and its (primarily left-wing) opponents are debating the network's application for mandatory carriage on cable and satellite systems, which was published on Monday and will be the subject of a CRTC hearing on April 23. Each has prepared talking points to further their causes for and against. Unfortunately, a lot of them are based on incorrect information or oversimplifications of complex issues.
This is primarily the fault of the CRTC, which has a very complex regulatory system governing television distribution (and in particular specialty channels), one that is constantly changing.
To help clear up some of this, I'll offer some perspective on the claims made so far in this debate so you can form a better opinion (or, more likely, use them against your opponents in your Twitter flame wars).
For the claims from Sun News, I'll primarily refer to tweets from "Canadian TV First", its marketing campaign to support this application.
Sun News Network wants to take away your freedom to not pay for Sun News Network.
That's spin, of course, but it happens to be true. Quebecor's freedom-loving, CBC-criticizing network is one of 22 existing and yet-to-be-launched cable channels that are applying to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission asking for it to require all Canadian cable, satellite and IPTV providers to put their channels in their basic packages and require all subscribers to pay for them whether they want them or not.
On Monday, the commission announced a hearing April 23 in Gatineau to consider applications related to mandatory carriage, as well as licence renewals for independent television stations and specialty services.
Different specialty channels have different categories that have different rights and responsibilities. Most new channels are what's called Category B. Channels in those categories come with no requirement for cable or satellite companies to carry them. They have to negotiate carriage with each cable and satellite company, and agree on things like wholesale rates and packaging. Older specialty channels are Category A, which have genre protection, meaning that new channels can't compete directly with them. They also must be made available on all digital cable systems, but can be made discretionary (meaning the subscribers decide whether they want to pay for them). Mainstream news and sports channels are Category C, which are designed to maximize competition and remove genre-related protections.
Adding these together, it comes to $0.85 per month or $10.20 a year in French markets and $0.78 per month or $9.36 a year in English markets that goes on cable bills for mandatory channels.
The commission doesn't make this status easy to get. There has to be a compelling reason why all Canadians must have access to these services. Existing ones qualify because they provide essential news and information to minority-language communities (CBCNN, RDI and TVA), target underserved, disadvantaged minority communities (APTN, AMI, M), provide essential information on a non-profit basis (Avis de recherche and CPAC) or offer an essential service (The Weather Network/MétéoMédia, which got the status with a promise to become a national emergency broadcaster).
makes exceptional commitments to original, first-run Canadian programming in terms of exhibition and expenditures.
The key points here are that it has to be exceptional, and it has to be exceptionally Canadian. It will be up to the CRTC to decide if the new proposed services meet those criteria.

I often get asked about what sort of photographic gear serious amateurs should buy. Normally, I direct them towards this excellent primer on building a digital SLR system, written by Philip Greenspun. It is, however, a bit on the long side. Here is a briefer encapsulation.
I would go with Canon or Nikon. This is mainly due to compatibility, both across a wide range of accessories (lenses, flashes, etc) and across long spans of time. Both companies make excellent gear that will be usable for decades. I happened to go with Canon and have always been happy with them.
There are other brands that have advantages (both in terms of price and features), but the market for Canon and Nikon related gear is broad and deep.
Get a crop-sensor dSLR. These cost about $600-700 and are very capable cameras. One thing to remember, though, is that they will multiply the effective focal length of all your lenses by 1.6. As such, a 50mm lens on a crop sensor is akin to an 80mm lens on a film body or full-frame dSLR.
Get a memory card, but don't worry about filters and things unless you are going to be working in very wet or dusty places.
Get a couple of batteries. You don't want to find yourself in the middle of an excellent and unexpected photo session, but unable to snap any more shots.
Buy the kit lens. It won't be of great quality, but they are usually very cheap when bought with the camera body. They are also often the only way to get cheap wide angle capability for a dSLR.
Buy a 50mm f/1.8 lens. These have great optical quality, can allow fast shutter speeds in dark circumstances, and can often be purchased for about $100. A 28mm or 35mm lens would more closely approximate a 50mm 'normal' lens on a film camera, but these tend to cost a lot more.
Get a tripod. It's not necessary for absolutely every kind of photography, but it is useful for most. It is also a good way to keep your camera stored in an accessible and highly visible place (which prompts me, at least, to go out shooting more often).
Get a camera bag that works for you. This is a tricky process that usually takes some experimentation. You want something big enough to carry what you need, but not so big you can never take it anywhere. You also need to decide whether you prefer a shoulder bag (much more accessible), a backpack (more comfortable), or something else. When carrying around just one camera and lens, don't bother with a camera bag. Just bring a plastic bag in case of rain. Having your camera stuffed a way in a bag when walking around will make you miss photos. Bags are for carrying extra gear, and providing protection in transit.
Beyond this, the sequence really depends on what you plan to shoot. Some people might start with flash(es), some people might save their pennies for professional grade zoom lenses. Others might improve on their kit lens with consumer grade zooms (such as the reasonably high quality lenses that zoom from around 30mm to around 100mm and are available for under $500). Some people might assemble a collection of primes. Some people might save up to go straight to a full-frame body.
You may want to sell the consumer zoom once you have professional grade ones, though it can be useful in situations where you need a wide range of focal lengths but can only bring one lens. If you never plan to get a full-frame dSLR, a professional grade wide angle zoom specific to crop sensor bodies might be a good idea.
A second body, so you can use two lenses without having to swap.
If you've worked your way through all of that, probably know a lot more about photography than I do. If you are in need of more distant horizons, there are two words to consider: medium format.
That's a very pretty picture.
It was taken at Lisa Poushinsky's Round Barn Party. More photos from the party are on Facebook.
It was shot on my Canon Rebel XS, using a 70-200mm f/4L IS lens and a large soft gold reflector.
1) Modern kit lenses have exceptional image quality (sharpness), although distortion is sometimes an issue.
2)Tripods can often be purchased for very little at value village type stores. I don't think it makes sense to spend a lot on a tripod in your initial kit unless you really want to do night photography. For evening photography, a prime lens coupled with the high sensitivity of crop bodies is plenty – and not having a tripod allows for more spontaneity.
If you're going to spend the big bucks to assemble any portion of the kit above, it's worth shelling out $200 for a good point and shoot (P&S) digital camera, small enough to fit in a pocket. Try to have it with you all the time, to capture images that turn up when you aren't lugging around heavy SLR kit.
I'll second that last comment.
A good P&S in your pocket is better than the best dSLR back at the hotel.
Canon is releasing a new crop sensor body. I already have an APS-C sensor, in my Rebel XS, so I'm not too excited.
I am saving my pennies for a full-frame 5D.
The video capability in the 7D could be a worthwhile feature for a lot of people, though apparently video from dSLRs is really wobbly.
It's the world's smallest camera with a full-frame sensor.
Ricoh has come up with a new take on the dSLR. In their new GXR system, each lens has a built-in sensor.
THERE has long been a product in the middle when it comes to choosing a camera; somewhere between the expensive heavyweight kit used by professionals and simple point-and-shoot snappers. Not only are serious amateurs interested in this part of the market, but the pros are too. In the 1980s many news photographers carried something like a small Canon AF35M in their gadget bag. With a relatively fast lens, a motorised film winder and, in particular, its innovative autofocus system, it was a useful backup to bulky single-lens reflex cameras.
Now autofocus is universal and 35mm film has been replaced by digital imaging sensors and memory cards. But choosing a good mid-range camera has become more difficult. It is not just that most cameras now pack almost as many megapixels as anyone needs. Some have been redesigned to create new types of cameras especially for digital photography. Indeed, some mid-range models are capable of producing results close to that of the best digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLRs).

4 area men indicted for mortgage fraud
DEARBORN HEIGHTS/DEARBORN – A 17-count indictment charging four defendants with conspiracy, bank fraud, and mail fraud was returned by a federal grand jury Wednesday morning, according to Acting United States Attorney Terrence Berg.
According to the indictment, Hassan Nagi, 30, of Dearborn Heights, Ali Haidous, 24, of Dearborn, Safi Bzeih, 35, of Dearborn, and Hussein Aoun, 23, of Dearborn Heights conspired to secure fraudulent mortgages on 16 properties between April 2005 and April 2008.
The value of the mortgages totaled $1.9 million. The properties were located in Detroit, Dearborn, and Dearborn Heights. The loans were issued by various national financial institutions, including Countrywide Bank, Washington Mutual, Fifth Third Bank, IndyMac Federal Bank, Net Bank and Sun Trust bank.
The indictment alleges Nagi worked as a mortgage broker and was responsible for submitting false and fraudulent applications to obtain the mortgages. Haidous was a real estate appraiser who provided fraudulent appraisals for the properties. Bzeih and Aoun recruited sellers and "straw buyers" for the properties.
According to the indictment, after the defendants identified a willing seller of a property, Nagi secured financing for a "straw buyer." False income and employment information was provided to the lender using fraudulent W-2 forms. In support of each loan, Nagi also submitted an inflated appraisal, created by Haidous.
After the inflated mortgage was funded at closing, the seller received sufficient funds to pay off any existing mortgage, as well as a "bonus" for participating in the mortgage fraud scheme. The remainder of the proceeds from the inflated mortgages were shared between the defendants and straw buyer.
"Mortgage fraud is a serious and economically damaging crime because it harms both our financial institutions, as well as the integrity of the market," Berg said. "These are not victimless crimes and we will do all we can to ensure those who commit fraud are brought to justice."
"We remain dedicated to preventing mortgage fraud and putting unrelenting pressure on these criminal groups," said Andrew G. Arena, Special Agent-In-Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Detroit.
An indictment is a charging document and not evidence of guilt. Each and every defendant is presumed to be innocent.
Nagi, Haidous, and Bzeih were expected to appear in federal court before Magistrate Judge Virginia Morgan at 1 p.m. on Thursday for their initial appearances and arraignment on the indictment. Aoun is a fugitive in Lebanon.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Leonid Feller.

You all are lucky today, got lots of reading to catch up on now!
OK, decided not to go to bed after my last post and played a $6/$.50 6 player Turbo SNG, ended up taking first when I won a 4 way all in pot with 6, 6. Then I check my 5, 10 when the flop came 2, 5, 5 and let him move all in with his 8, 8 and now I'm $27 richer! I have to say, I really, really like the Turbo structure at PS.
Soooo here's the plan: I had $215 in tournament money, and I fiddled farted my last $20 on a Limit HE ring game down to $0.00. I'm going to leave it at that. I am going to play that $215 as far/long as I can and see how much real cash I can accumulate in my Cash account once the $215 tournament money is gone. I'm not going to touch any of the money on the cash side until the $215 is gone.
I think it sounds fun, and I'm actually excited to see if I can turn this $215 into something great! I will keep you updated at the end of each blog.
