An unsentimental elegy to the American West, "Sweetgrass" follows a group of modern-day cowboys as they lead their enormous flock of sheep up into Montana's breathtaking and often-dangerous Beartooth Mountains for summer pasture.

This astonishingly beautiful yet unsparing film reveals a world in which nature and culture, animals and humans, climate and landscape, and vulnerability and violence are all intimately meshed.

Thomas Stonewall Jackson Biography
Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson (January 21, 1824 - May 10, 1863) was a Confederate general in the American Civil War. He was born at Clarksburg, Virginia (now in West Virginia) in 1824, and was orphaned at an early age.

He attended West Point, class of 1846, and served in the Mexican War. He resigned from the Army in 1852 and became professor of artillery tactics and natural philosophy (physics) at Virginia Military Institute (VMI).

When the American Civil War began, Jackson rose to prominence and earned his nickname after the first battle of Bull Run (known to the Confederates as the First Battle of Manassas) in July 1861, when Brigadier General Bernard E. Bee exhorted his own troops to reform by shouting, "There stands Jackson like a stone wall. Rally behind the Virginians!" Jackson was quickly promoted to divisional command.

In May and June of 1862, he was given an independent command in the Shenandoah Valley. There he soundly thrashed the Union forces in a series of battles, showing great audacity, excellent knowledge and shrewd usage of the terrain, and the ability to inspire his troops to great feats of marching and fighting.

In mid-June, he and his troops were called to Richmond, Virginia, to help oppose McClellan's advance up the York-James peninsula. They served under Robert E Lee in the series of battles known as the Seven Days' Battles. Jackson's performance in those battles is generally considered to be lackluster, for reasons that are disputed, though a severe lack of sleep after the grueling march from the Valley was probably a large factor.

Jackson was now a corps commander under Lee. At Second Battle of Bull Run (or the Second Battle of Manassas), he helped to administer the Federals another defeat on the same grounds as in 1861. When Lee decided to invade the North, Jackson took Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, then hastened to join the rest of the army at Sharpsburg, Maryland, where they fought McClellan in the battle of Antietam. The Confederate forces held their position, but the battle had been extremely bloody for both sides, and Lee took the Army of Northern Virginia back across the Potomac River, ending the invasion.

Jackson's troops held off a ferocious Union assault at Fredericksburg, Virginia. At the Battle of Chancellorsville, Jackson's forces flanked the Union army, and in an intense battle deep in the tangled woods drove them back from their lines. Darkness ended the assault, and by bad luck Jackson and his staff were mistaken for a Union cavalry force by Confederate troops and fired upon. Jackson was hit by three bullets; his arm had to be amputated, and he died seven days later of complications from the wound. Upon hearing of Jackson's death, Robert E. Lee mourned the loss of both a friend and a trusted commander. The night Lee heard of Jackson's death, he told his cook, "William, I have lost my right arm", and "I'm bleeding at the heart".

Jackson is considered one of the great characters of the Civil War. He was profoundly religious, a deacon in the Presbyterian Church. He disliked fighting on Sunday, though that did not stop him from doing so. He loved his wife very much and sent her tender letters. He generally wore old, worn-out clothes rather than a fancy uniform, and often looked more like a moth-eaten private than a corps commander. He was also known to regularly chew lemons during marches, a taste for which he had acquired during his time in Mexico.

In command Jackson was extremely secretive about his plans and extremely punctilious about military discipline. Upon hearing of Jackson's death, Roberte E. Lee mourned the loss of both a friend and a trusted soldier The South mourned his death; he was and still is greatly admired there. He is buried at VMI, and memorialized on Georgia's Stone Mountain and in many other places.

Craft & Crumbs #Crafternoon

October 21, 2015

The thought of organising a fundraising event simultaneously thrills me and terrifies me. I love planning. I’m the person who creates a Facebook event for her birthday six months in advance. I have post-its in every shade and I have to have a relevant emoji after every event in my iPhone calendar.

But paired with stellar organisation skills is a deep, overwhelming anxiety that I’m not doing enough, I’m doing everything wrong, I’m missing something, I have no idea what I’m doing, no one will care, no one will turn up, and/or whatever I’m organising is going to fall flat on its arse, much like all the parties I’ve ever planned on Sims 2.

An education in medication. #WMHD15

October 10, 2015

Today is my 75th day on antidepressants. Sertraline, to be exact. I’d never heard of it until the day I had a breakdown in my doctors’ surgery’s reception, and at first I treated it like a child hating its new baby sibling. This tiny, tiny white pill was apparently going to help things, but I had no idea how and resented it for being so smug in its ability where I lacked it.

But now we are best friends. The kind of friendship where you walk into the friend's kitchen and help yourself to food, know how to work the oven, and make yourself at home taking control of the TV remote. We’re comfortable, we’re tight, and if it ever moved away, I would cling on to its ankles wailing that Skype calls would never be enough.

Today is also World Mental Health Day. So, to mark it, I've written down the things I have learnt since starting medication, in the hope that it might help others who are battling between unwelcome sibling and clingy friend.

Raise your hand. Be brave anyway. #YAtales

October 02, 2015

You could hear the incensed whispers from across the country.

“What the hell is she playing at???”

“She’s disrupting the status quo, someone do something!”

“Is she ill? Shall I call 999? I’m gonna call 999.”

There was no doubt that my old university course mates, now dispersed across the UK, would have sensed that something was awry in that packed out room at Waterstones Piccadilly where, sat at the back by a protective pillar, I had just raised my hand to ask a question.

This is unheard of. You don’t ask questions. It is the one Victorian tradition we are ok with keeping: you do not ask questions. No one asked questions in university lectures. And if you did, you were shunned and burnt at the stake. So why on earth had I found myself feeling compelled to put my hand in the air like I just don’t care?

It's a matter of trust

While a good reputation takes time to build, but can be destroyed overnight. This is particularly true of the accountancy and audit profession, which lives off its credibility. Distrust has recently become a major issue, especially with the recent public backlash experienced by politically implicated persons in the accounting profession.
Bongani Coka, CE of Saipa. Photo: The Legacy Project
Accountants need to keep in mind that establishing trust requires more than just honesty: it requires the ability to practice sound moral values. Major drivers of trust are openness, competence, benevolence and integrity.

The quality of ‘openness’ has a distinct ethical undertone as the disclosure of information can assist those who are affected by the information to either advance or protect their interests.

Failure to disclose such information effectively bars those affected by it from enhancing or protecting their interests. Consequently, a lack of openness on the side of a professional accountant will be perceived as unfair or unethical by their clients and other key stakeholders, which in turn will undermine public perceptions of the trustworthiness of the professionals.

Due to the recent spate of scandals, the South African public now question accountants’ ability to act in a manner consistent with the code of ethics for accountants and their competency to provide a quality service with the required skill.

A professional accountant may not mislead his employer or client as to his level of expertise or experience. Where appropriate, clients or employers must be notified of any limitations that the professional accountant may have.

In addition, Section 130 of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants requires a professional accountant to maintain professional knowledge and skill at a level required to ensure that a client or employer receives a competent professional service based on current developments in practice, legislation and techniques; and act diligently and in accordance with the applicable technical and professional standards.

Professional accountants are expected to employ an inquiring mind to their work founded on the basis of their knowledge of the organisations’ financials. Their training in accounting enables them to adopt a pragmatic and objective approach to solving issues. Using their skills and intimate understanding of the organisation and the environment in which it operates, professional accountants in business must ask challenging questions.

They are also the front runners when it comes to upholding the quality of financial reporting and providing the broader public with reliable financial information. Regardless of the level of assurance, the public assume that due diligence was taken into account when the professional accountant compiled the financial statements.

Trust for a professional accountant’s client involves having confidence that they will act in their best interest or refrain from taking advantage of them. The possibility that they might break this confidence introduces the element of risk, with a dash of fear and anxiety peppered into the mix.

The greater the perceived risk, the harder it may be for the client to trust their accountant.

Any debacle in the accounting profession raises the question of ethical behaviour and shines the spotlight on the responsibility of the professional accountant to maintain the balance between serving the public interest and that of their client.

Professional Accounting Organisations (PAO) accredited by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) must be pro-active in their approach to any matter that may bring their institutes into disrepute as a result of the conduct of their members.

Random checks and balances must be conducted on PAO members to ensure that they remain in good standing and a PAO should encourage the public to lay a complaint for investigation should they experience misconduct or unprofessional behaviour from any PAO member.

The link between integrity and ethics is so intimate that the two concepts are often used as synonyms.

In terms of section 110 of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, obligation is imposed on all professional accountants to be straightforward and honest in all professional and business relationships. Integrity also implies fair dealings and truthfulness.

In conclusion, gaining clients and public trust by a professional accountant requires openness, having the competence and consideration of what clients say is important to them, and making sure they provide that to the satisfaction of a client in an ethical manner.

Trustworthiness is within our sphere of control, and consequently it is something that can be deliberately changed or cultivated.

As a profession we are impacted by trust, let us try to restore it.

Rechavia Dental Center

By Dr. David Schlussel, DDS

The word laser stands for “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation”. Lasers have been one of the greatest scientific inventions of the 20th century. Initially developed in the 1960’s, lasers have sprung up in almost every aspect of daily life. They have a great range of applications and are used in optical disk drives, laser printers, and barcode scanners; DNA sequencing instruments, fiber-optic and free-space optical communication; laser surgery and skin treatments; cutting and welding materials; military and law enforcement devices — the list of its applications are endless.

The application that interests me personally is its use in dentistry. Just like there are individualized hammers used in construction, carpentry and demolition, there are also many different types of lasers used in dentistry. And just like each hammer has its application and use, so too lasers have their individual applications (with occasional crossover from one type to the other). Some lasers can be used on hard tissue, like teeth, to fix cavities while others work on soft tissue to treat gums or for taking biopsies. Yet another usage of lasers is to smooth excess or diseased bone.

Some of these types of lasers are Carbon Dioxide, Nd:YAG, Diode and Erbium lasers, each with their own excellent properties. Different manufacturers also have different operating parameters for each of their lasers. No one laser is a magic bullet to be used for all procedures.

One laser that is taking off in popularity is the Nd:YAG laser. This laser is used in particular to treat periodontal disease. The properties of this laser are such that they have a deep penetration into the tissue that allows it to affect deeper tissue that cannot be reached. The human body, on average, is made up of approximately 60% water and laser energy that is absorbed by water will cause vaporization of the soft tissue that is being treated. This is prevented with Nd:YAG lasers because they are not absorbed by water. The Nd:YAG laser energy is absorbed by darker colored substances. This is significant because one of the main bacteria involved in periodontal disease, Porphyromonas gingivalis, is pigmented in dark colors. This makes the Nd:YAG laser like a guided smart bomb targeted to kill the main cause of the disease.

There are several companies that manufacture Nd:YAG lasers. One company, Millennium Dental Technologies, has manufactured a laser called the “Periolase MVP-7” laser. This laser was designed with one purpose in mind: to treat periodontal disease around teeth (and the equivalent around implants). Because of the unique properties of the Nd:YAG laser, it is perfectly suited to treat periodontal disease. Only diseased tissue is affected without collateral damage to healthy tissue. This allows the Periolase to treat periodontal disease in a very precise manner without adversely affecting healthy tissue. The procedure performed with the Periolase is called LANAP, which is an acronym for Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure. This is also known as LAR, Laser Assisted Regeneration. This procedure has the world’s first ever FDA clearance for True Regeneration™! During LANAP, the laser helps the body create new root surface, bone and the ligament to attach the tooth to the bone. This is all done without having to add one foreign agent such as bone or growth factors to the affected area.c

There are several major benefits to treating periodontal disease with LANAP using the Periolase. First, there is no scalpel involved. This allows dentists to preserve more tissue, keeping what we want and only removing the diseased tissue. The laser is able to microscopically dissect the unwanted tissue from the tissue that is needed for healing.

Next, there is no suturing involved. Because the tissue is not opened up, there is no need for suturing and that translates to less postoperative discomfort. In addition, because there are no sutures, there is no place for harmful bacteria and plaque to accumulate which translates into faster, more comfortable healing. Most patients go back to work the next day and report little pain or swelling.

This is a fascinating procedure that is taking the dentistry world by storm and helping patients keep their teeth longer and mouths healthier. To learn more about LANAP and the Periolase, you can visit or contact our office.

Rechavia Dental Center is located at 15 Ibn Gevirol Street Jerusalem

Whenever the question of incorporation comes up, many small business owners almost instinctively recoil. But, the reality is that incorporating your small business has some big ramifications, and in many cases it is a necessary part of running a business even if you never plan on selling stock.

Hey Adam,

Great info! We already had an S-Corp from our other businesses, so we put my Internet marketing biz under that, or I probably would have gone sole proprietor in the beginning.

End Citizens United Engages In Successful Fundraising Efforts

August 26, 2017 - Author: steph

Every single day there are machinations going on behind the scenes in Washington D.C. that fundamentally change how our government works and by way of transience, our lives. In 2008 the Federal Exchange Commission (FEC) welcomed James Bopp, a timid and unassuming lawyer, into their court. Bopp argued that he should be allowed to air a hit piece against Hillary Clinton via on-demand video. The FEC laughed him out of the building. Two years later Bopp AGAIN appeared in court, this time in front of the Supreme Court on behalf of the conservative hit group Citizens United. He argued for looser campaign financing rules. He won.

Ever since Bopp and Citizens United won in their court case with the Supreme Court the wheels have fallen off in Washington D.C. and the United States government. Bopp’s argument was purely about making as much money as possible off of the backs of the American people. He wanted to free up the law so that millionaires and billionaires could literally pour money into the government in order to buy elected officials and get regulation passed or destroyed that was in their best benefit. Bopp continues to fight for even looser regulation to this day.

Like End Citizens United on Facebook.

Even if Bopp has been successful thus far in de-regulating the rules that keep our government operating, he hasn’t been unopposed. End Citizens United is a left leaning political action committee who’s sole focus is on repealing the disastrous and damaging Citizens United decision from 2010. End Citizens United is currently run by President Tiffany Muller and her goal has been single minded in focus: she wants to maker her PAC’s name a reality.

Ending Citizens United could be one of the biggest blows to crony capitalism that the United States has ever seen — so of course End Citizens United is being opposed vigorously by conservatives. Still, despite this opposition the American people are flooding the donation boxes in order to back Muller and her work. Through just the first quarter of Donald Trump’s disaster of a presidency the PAC has raised over $4 million. These donations are coming in hand over fist by people who believe in the cause. End Citizens United also has a donation limit so that millionaires can’t co-opt the campaign. The average donation is just $12.

End Citizens United needs to prepare for the 2018 Congressional races because much of the future of the country will be decided during these elections. That is why End Citizens United is getting so much money ready. They are going to support all of the progressives who are willing to fight for campaign finance reform. End Citizens United will try their best to stem the tide of dark money in politics for the benefit of everyone.

    Keep on writing such useful information. Really helpful for the blogger like me.:)

  15. says

    A good blogger very well knows the importance of an active and bustling blogging communities. The advantages of using blogging communities are many. Referral traffic is the main advantage. Then comes user engagement, networking opportunities and loads of other similar advantages.

    The list here is an impressive ones. Some well known communities have been mentioned. I see lots of familiar names in there.

    What I feel about communities is that one must be active in there, to leverage all the benefits. This is a time consuming task to some extent.

    Time is something that I’m running short on. That’s why, these days, I’ve limited to being active on few, in fact, very few communities. Kingged and Klinkk are the ones that I rely upon.

    Among them too, Kingged has been rewarding me very well! Ever since I started being active there, my blog has been blessed with good referral traffic, user engagement and social shares! 🙂 Further, the networking prospects associated with it are also cool!

    I found the link to this article on Kingged.

  16. Ryan Biddulph says

    All are winners but I’m huge on Kingged. Loving each community….I need to get Blog Engaging again too. Thanks for the reminder!

    Hi Tharun,

    There is of course no doubt these are interesting communities but one thing is clear, the list wouldn’t had being complete without kingged.com

    It is simply a beautiful community and that is where I found this post as well.

  18. says

    These are comprehensive lists of blogging communities. I personally use some of these bloggingg community to boost my content visibility and reach.

    i had success with them, Thanks for sharing

  19. says

    I strongly recommend Blogengage and GetBlogTraffic.net. Brian from Blogengage is relally amazing with many informative and helpful sharing. in addition, they have a very big community that you can join and sharing your knowledge with everyone.
    thanks for your information.

  20. says

    From that list of communities, I amusing Kingged, IndiBlogger and BizSugar. Although, I am quite unsatisfied with BizSugar, as I found its dashboard to be buggy. And don’t know why, but my posts never go live there on the platform.

    Indiblogger and Kingged are just awesome. At both the platforms, one thing is sure- the content accepted will be of good quality. So, user don’t need to worry about their content.

    Although Kingged have no comparison, as its a money making platform which makes it just different from all other communities. Further, the active participation of Admin group is also a good thing about this community.

    Inbound and Klinkk are new to me. And definitely I would give it a try, at least to explore the platform just once.
    Anyways, thanks for sharing it here on kingged.com.

  21. says

    Hello Tharun,
    This is really great collection.

    I already joined kingged community. I know some of these but other are new for me. I will join all other website to promote my blog. and I hope this method will be very helpful for my New year Blog.

    Thanks Tharun for sharing such great places to share latest content.

    Areesha Noor!

  22. Martins says

    This is the list am looking for, to know the best blogging communities I can join, am also searching for tech blogging communities, can you make a list about it?
    I will sure join this ones above.

VILLANOVA, Pa. -- This time, a slow start was just way too much to overcome for the University of Delaware football team.

Delaware, playing longtime rival Villanova in its annual Battle of the Blue rivalry, fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter and could never recover in falling to the Wildcats by a 28-7 verdict at soggy Villanova Stadium Saturday afternoon.

The Blue Hens (7-4, 5-3 Colonial Athletic Association) fell to Villanova for the sixth straight time and for the 11th time in the last 12 seasons. Still, Delaware will hold out slim hopes of earning an at-large spot in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. The 24-team field will be announced live at 11 a.m. on ESPNU.

If Saturday was indeed the final game of the 2017 campaign, it was a year in which the Blue Hens made great strides under first-year head coach Danny Rocco. Delaware nearly equaled the win total from the previous two years and won seven games for the first time since the 2014 season. The five wins in conference play marked the best season for the Hens since 2011 when the team also went 7-4 overall and 5-3 in league play.

The Blue Hens, who finished the regular season having won five of the final seven games, could not generate enough offense to keep up with Villanova, which had struggled offensively itself for most of the season. The Wildcats (5-6, 3-5 CAA) snapped a four-game losing streak.

Delaware fell behind 14-0 after the first quarter and was down 28-0 after Villanova scored twice in the third stanza. Earlier this season, the Hens came back from a 20-7 halftime deficit to Stony Brook, 10-0 to Maine, and 3-0 to Albany before mounting comebacks. This time, the comeback never materialized.

Delaware finished with more first downs (18 to 16) and total yardage (336 to 322) than Villanova but managed just 44 yards in the first quarter and just 116 in the opening half. The Hens were also hurt by two interceptions, including one in the first quarter when Villanova linebacker Jeff Steeb picked off a pass by J.P. Caruso and sprinted into the end zone untouched from 38 yards out to give VU a 14-0 lead six minutes into the game.

Curuso (above left) hit on 21 of 33 passes for a career-high 197 yards and an 11-yard touchdown strike to Jamie Jarmon with 59 seconds left in the game to avoid the shutout. Jarmon caught five passes for 26 yards while Vinny Papale had three catches for 70 yards and Joe Walker hauled in three passes for 79 yards. Walker also had a team-high 37 yards rushing and threw an 18-yard pass.

Defensively, Delaware allowed a season-high 261 yards rushing as Villanova running back Aaron Forbes ran for 140 yards. Quarterback Jack Schetelich threw two touchdown passes to Taurus Phillips and ran for another score.

Blue Hen safety Nasir Adderley led the Hens with 12 tackles and forced a fumble while senior defensive tackle Blaine Woodson made 11 stops, including sack.

• Rocco, now in his 12th season as a college head coach, has never had a losing season and has won seven or more games 10 times
• Jarmon extended his pass-catching streak to 16 games and secured his team-leading sixth touchdown reception of the year. The six touchdowns is the most by a UD receiver since Michael Johnson had nine and current Baltimore Ravens tight end Nick Boyle had seven in 2013
Jake Roth is tied for the UD single season record with 23 kickoff touchbacks this season
• Punter Nick Pritchard averaged 40.0 yards on five punts and had three land inside the Villanova 20-yard line. His 25 punts inside the 20-yard line breaks the UD single season record of 24 by All-American Eric Enderson in 2015
• Delaware did not force a turnover for the first time this season. The Hens had intercepted 10 passes over the last five games.
• All four Delaware ball carries had nine rushes on the day. Walker finished with a team-high 37 yards, Caruso added 34 yards, Khory Spruill (above right) had 29, and Kani Kane added 21.

"We didn't start well today, which has happened several times this season, but we've always found a way to respond, which has been extraordinary. But today it just didn't happen. Nothing really seemed to go our way and we didn't make the plays when we needed to. I am disappointed and surprised that we didn't rise to the occasion. Villanova may have played one its best games of the season. Give them credit. They beat us to the punch in most phases of the game today."

On the future of Delaware Football
"Winning today really would have put us way ahead of schedule in terms of our rebuilding process. Seven wins is a solid season and we realize that. We won some tight games and beat some good football teams. I am excited about our future. We will learn from this experience and be a better football team next year."

"All season long we have been able to fight back and keep it close and rely on the defense to keep us in the game. We've used that energy to keep it going. It just didn't happen today. You just can't play all season like that. I thought both teams had a lot of energy today but they had more. It's disappointing."

Going Back To The Finals

By Flin Flon Bombers, 04/12/17, 6:30AM CDT

Nate Hooper scores two goals, Brenden Newton makes 36 saves, as the Bombers take Game 7, rallying from three games to one down, to return to the Canalta Cup Finals.

Nate Hooper (Winnipeg, MB) had a great rookie season with the Flin Flon Bombers.

The 1998 born forward had a lot of responsibility put on him during the season, playing on the team’s top line with Greyson Reitmeier (Nakusp, BC) and Jason Lavallee (Thetford Mines, QC), and eating up veteran type minutes, and for that he was rewarded with a 29 point (8g, 21a) rookie campaign.

That was on full display again in Game 7 of the Bombers SJHL Semi Final matchup against the Nipawin Hawks last night, where Hooper scored the opening goal and added an empty netter to help the Bombers take the game and series 3-0.

He now has 6 points (5g, 1a) in 12 playoff games.

Hooper scored 4:20 into the first on a giveaway behind the Hawks net and fired a shot up in under the cross bar for the unassisted game winner.

Lavallee added his sixth of the post season early into the second period after firing off a one timer over the glove of Hawk’s starter Kristian Stead, shooting the puck that was banked off the backboards from defenseman Braden Lacoursiere (Unity, SK).

Hooper scored the empty netter with 1:04 left in the third.

Flin Flon found themselves down 3-1 in the series, but rattled off three straight wins for to punch their ticket for a return to the Canalta Cup Finals for a second straight year.

Another storyline for the turnaround is the play of goalie Brenden Newton (Medicine Hat, AB).

Newton came in relief in game four and has allowed only two goals in over 222 mintues of play, including making 36 saves on 36 shots last night for his first shutout of the playoffs.

Overall the second year goalie has a record of 3-1 with a goals against average of 1.14 and a save percentage of 0.965.

The Bombers will return to the Canalta Cup finals for the second straight year, this time taking on the Battlefords North Stars, no confirm schedule has been made.

The Wrong Stuff: Mountaineer Ed Viesturs on Making Mistakes

Kathryn Schulz's new book, "Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error," was published last month.

Excerpts from Viesturs' interview with Schulz which appeared in Slate on June 14, 2010 follow.

You've written that the worst mistake of your climbing career occurred on K2which is a bad place for a mistake, given its reputation as the deadliest mountain in the world. Can you describe what happened?

I was with two other climbers trying to make the summit, and we'd had to sit at our high camp for three nights waiting for the weather to clear. Finally we had what we thought was a window of opportunity, so we started climbing. About halfway into the day, the clouds below us slowly engulfed us, and it started to snow pretty heavily. I always contemplate going down even as I'm going up, and I was thinking, "You know what? Six, seven, eight, nine hours from now, when we're going down, there's going to be a tremendous amount of new snow, and the avalanche conditions could be huge."

I talked to my partners, and either I was overreacting or they were underreacting, because they were like, "What do you mean? This is fine." So I was kind of alone in my quandary. I knew I was making a mistake; I knew I should just simply go down, that I should unrope and leave my partners and let them go, but I kept putting off that decision, until eventually we got to the top. When we got down to camp that night, I was not pleased with what I had done. I'd have to say that was the biggest mistake I've ever made in my climbing career.

Really? Given the many fatal mistakes made on mountains every year, this doesn't sound so bad. You made it down safely, after all.

Yeah, but a mistake is a mistake even if you get away with it. Even though we succeeded, I don't ever want to do that again. I felt on the way down that the conditions were pretty desperate. We could've gone down in an avalanche at any minute. We just got really, really lucky. There were moments I was convinced we weren't going to make it down, when I said [to myself], "Ed, you've made the last and most stupid mistake of your life."

I think a lot of people, when they survive a situation like that, they're willing to do it again. They're like, "Well, you know I got away with it one time, I can probably get away with it again." You do that too many times and sooner or later, it's not going to work out.

Did you make more mistakes early on in your climbing career? There's that old saw about how experience is just another name for having made a lot of mistakes.

I don't really look back and say, "Oh my God, that thing I did was really idiotic, how could I have done that?" I think I always wanted to be careful. I didn't want to die in the mountains. I do think, though, that as I climbed more, I became more conservative, just because of all the things I'd learned.  When you're less experienced, you don't even know about the mistakes you're making.

Speaking of conservative decisions, I heard you once turned around when you were 300 feet from the summit of Mount Everest. Three hundred feet out of, what, 29,029?

Yeah. That was my first trip to Everest, and I was likedaaaaaaahhh! You know, there's the top, I could see the top, 300 feet away. But it was the obvious decision; all the indications were that we needed to turn around, and I just realized that I was going to have to go home and come back another year. And even though it was slightly frustrating, I wasn't disappointed. If I have to turn around because of conditions beyond my control, as long as I haven't given up physically or mentally, I don't call those failures. I can live with those.

When the stakes are big, the small stuff matters.

Climbing is the small stuff. The higher you climb, the less and less chance you have of being rescued. And that's when minor mistakes have huge, huge consequences. These high-altitude mountains are one of the few places on the planet where there is literally no help. If you screw up and break a leg, it's up to your partner to get you down. If he can't, you're dead. It's one of the few places in the world where your decisions have real consequences. I think a lot of people don't ever experience that—"Man, every decision I make has a consequence right now." That's a very interesting feeling.

The majority of accidents and deaths in the mountains are what I call self-inflicted. You make bad decisions, you choose to climb in bad weather, you make a dumb mistake like not clipping into a rope or not putting on your crampons, and then in a heartbeat, it falls apart. It's those little things that you have to constantly remind yourself about. It doesn't matter if I've been doing this for 30 years; I still have to be just as careful. But I think as you do something more and more, you have the tendency to become complacent.

I'm reminded of an old saw: "There are old mountain climbers, and there are bold mountain climbers, but there are no old, bold mountain climbers."

"but there are no old, bold mountain climbers"

Willi Unsoeld.

"In 1976 Unsoeld and his daughter Nanda Devi were on an expedition to climb her namesake mountain Nanda Devi, the second highest peak in India. His daughter died during the climb, which was plagued by accidents and eventual tragedy. Asked at his home (where a picture of Devi was over the fireplace) how he could continue climbing after losing his daughter, Willi responded: "What -- you want me to die of a heart attack, drinking beer, eating potato chips, and watching a golf tournament on TV???"[4]
Unsoeld died in an avalanche during a winter climb of Mt. Rainier in March 1979 at the age of 52. He was leading an Evergreen student climb at the time and died descending from their high camp in Cadaver Gap along with one student, Janie Diepenbrock.[5]
Jolene Unsoeld and their two sons, Krag and Regon, reside in Olympia, Washington, where Evergreen is located." http://bit.ly/aqZDXQ

Krag has been a friend since '74.

Ed is a bulldozer of a man. I've never seen anybody with his abilities at altitude. I've climbed to 18,700 on two occasions and been involved in the rescue of a stranded climber on my first ascent. That said, I've never climbed anything higher and 18700 is a serious challenge.

K2 has killed so many fine climbers that it is just a combination of good judgment, good conditions, good conditioning and luck to survive that peak. Hell, I'd undertake the North Face of the Eiger in bad weather, ten times, before I'd give even a passing thought to K2.

Oh, Joe - did you know that Ed is a DVM?

Posted by: 6.02*10^23 | Jul 30, 2010 6:44:58 PM

I've always been fascinated by that extreme mountain climbing stuff, and I have no idea why - I've never scaled anything higher than Stone Mountain (large lump of granite in metro Atlanta area with Confederate soldiers carved into one side, at least partially done by Gutzon Borglum [spelling?] - the guy who did Rushmore) in my whole life, and I'm terrified of heights, too. Way back, I read Tenzing Norgay's book, "Tiger of the Snows" (Tenzing was the Sherpa who reached the summit of Everest with Hilary in the 50's), I think it was called, and I learned all about things like moraines and cravasses and cornices & whatnot. Great read.

John Lennon. Celebrities Choice. 1966.

(John Lennon & others.) CELEBRITIES CHOICE. National Book League, London 1966.

Current Selling Prices $100 + / £50+

It is always worth looking at pamphlets and thinnish wraps items as they can be rare and are often overlooked. There is at least one dealer who looks at nothing else. This piece from 1966 might attract attention because of the words 'celebrity' - the right contributors can make a pamphlet worth its weight in gold This one not only has a contribution by John Lennon but also Philip Larkin and Harold Pinter. I described the last one I saw thus:
'8vo. Illustrated wraps. pp 24. The favourite books of such diverse celebrities as John Lennon, Julie Christie, J. Paul Getty, Joyce Grenfell, Philip Larkin, Harold Pinter, Margery Allingham, Joan Sutherland, etc. John Lennon had chosen some interesting books. he has divided them into up to the age of 11 (Alice, Wind in Willows), teens (Brave New World, Animal Farm, 1984, Sartre, Steinbeck, Thurber), from the age of 20 (De Sade, Heller, A.A. Milne, Alan Watts), current reading (Thomas Stanley, Pre-Roman Britain). Harold Pinter chooses 2 Becketts, a Donne, a Dostoyevsky, a Joyce, and Kafka's The Castle. Philip Larkin as usual plumps for Barbara Pym...'

In Hunter Davies bio of the Fabs he notes that, of the Beatles, only Lennon had a proper collection of books--the only books I can recall Davies mentioning were 'The Mass Psychology of Fascism' and 'The Passover Plot.' I have also read somewhere he had a copy of 'Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of Crowds' - a book that if it was updated would have a chapter on the Beatles. Last week I met a woman in her early 60s who had known the boys in Liverpool in the Cavern days, she described John as short-sighted and consequently rather aloof, Paul as friendly - but all the girls loved George the most and, oddly enough, were also crazy about Pete Best who was considered very handsome. His good looks may have lead to his being edged out of the group...She was at the Cavern on the momentous day that Brian Epstein came to check them out. When, a little later, she turned up at a gig where all the fans were screaming the house down and you couldn't hear the music, she stopped following the group - sic transit gloria mundi...

VALUE? This has sold in the past for $120 and more and appears to be quite hard to find and is easy to miss. It has to be in very nice condition, pamplets often get creased and mangled. Once Beatle collectors have got all the major and minor books they start looking around for ephemeral stuff such as this, what in a bibliography would be a 'B' item (contributions to books.) I once saw a rather silly Beatle book going for £10--an attempted genealogy of the moptops that apparently was produced in a mere handful of copies --that must now be worth a goodly sum. There are also rarish opuscula on trivia such as the supposed death or disappearance of Paul...

While I for one would certainly pay good money for a Hunter Thompson biography of the Beatles, especially if it were illustrated by Ralph Steadman, I don't think such a thing exists -- I'm guessing you mean Hunter Davies' bio of the Fab Four, instead. Candi at "handpickedbooks"

Thanks I have now corrected this--well spotted. He was known in Private Eye as 'Oonter Davies' --for no good reason. N
