Lore:People A
[edit] Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal (?b - ?d)
A Kamal, also known as Ada'Soon Dir-Kamal,[1] who led the Akaviri army that sacked the Skyrim city of Windhelm in 2E 572.[2] Wulfharth, the Underking, was summoned to help repel the invasion of the "Akaviri demon" (source differ on who summoned him).[2][3] Dir-Kamal decided to bypass Riften and retreat from Skyrim, instead setting his sights on Mournhold. The Nords refused to let him get away and pursued him into Morrowind, where his army was crushed between them and a Dunmer army led by Almalexia. Remnants of Dir-Kamal's army would survive and go on to cause trouble in Cyrodiil.[2]
[edit] Agnorith (?b - ?d)
Brother of the First Emperor of Tamriel, Tiber Septim, and the father of Empress Kintyra.[4]
[edit] Ahzidal (?b - ?d)
Ahzidal, the Embittered Destroyer, was the first great Nord enchanter, and possibly the first human to master the Elven methods of enchanting He was born in the city of Saarthal late in the Merethic Era and his talent for magic and enchanting was quickly noticed. As he grew, his talent quickly surpassed that of his instructors and of every person living in Saarthal. Eventually, finding he could progress no more among his own kind, he left his home and sought out Elven instructors who could teach him more, leaving behind everyone he knew, including his wife and child. He was gone for several years, learning all that he could, but when he returned he discovered his home destroyed, burnt to the ground by the Elves, and everyone he knew dead or gone. He swore an oath of vengeance, taking the name Ahzidal, meaning "the embittered destroyer". He would go on to fulfill that oath, but at the cost of his sanity.
[edit] Aiden Direnni (?b - ?d)
The leader of the Direnni Clan who won many battles against the Alessian Empire, culminating in his victory at the Battle of Glenumbria Moors in 1E 482, at the cost of greatly weakening his clan's power.[5][6]
[edit] Akorithi (3E 369 - ?d)
Queen Akorithi was the Queen of Sentinel and wife of King Camaron. She was the mother of Aubk-i, Greklith and Lhotun.
[edit] Alandro Sul (?b - ?d)
Alandro Sul was the shield-companion of Nerevar during the War of the First Council. It is said he is the immortal son of Azura. According to an ancient Nordic account of the Battle of Red Mountain, he wore the Wraith Mail during the battle, and fought the Ash King Wulfharth. He defeated Wulfharth, but was struck blind during the fight. After the battle, he lived with the Ashlanders, and is credited with spreading the belief among them that the Tribunal murdered Nerevar.
[edit] King Alinor (?b - ?d)
Aldmeri King of Summerset Isle during the formation of the Aldmeri Dominion in 2E 830.[citation needed]
[edit] Empress Alessia (?b - 1E 266)
Alessia, also known as Queen Alessia or Saint Alessia, led the First Era rebellion against the Ayleids, freeing the humans of Cyrodiil from slavery and founding what became the First Cyrodilic Empire. As its first Empress, she established a new religion, a fusion of the Nordic and Aldmeri pantheons known as the Eight Divines. On her deathbed in 1E 266, she was sainted by Shezarr (in some stories Akatosh), and her soul placed in the central stone of the Amulet of Kings. The Covenant between gods and men was made here. Belharza was elected her successor as the second Emperor of Cyrodiil.
Alessia is not her birth name, but rather a corruption of a title, Al-Esh ("High Highness"), that was given to her by her followers. Another title bestowed on her was Paravant ("The First"). From corruptions of these two titles come countless other names by which she is known to various peoples, including Perrif, Paravania, and Aleshut. The Alessian Order is so-called because she purportedly appeared to Marukh in a vision and bestowed her teachings upon him. For more information, see the full article on Alessia.
[edit] Alisanne Dupre
Alisanne Dupre was a member of the Dark Brotherhood who had become the Listener of the Black Hand by the year 4E 187.
Dupre maintained a private residence in Bravil, from which she commuted to the Brotherhood's last Cyrodilic sanctuary in Cheydinhal. While there she discussed the state of the Brotherhood with Rasha, her last remaining Speaker. Among the topics they discussed was the destruction of the Wayrest sanctuary, and the potential re-opening of the Shadowscale training facility in Archon, Black Marsh, a plan that was ultimately abandoned due to lack of funds.
When the feud between Bravil's two largest skooma traffickers turned violent, Dupre was forced to hire a battalion of spellswords to protect her and her property. Ultimately the effort proved futile, and Dupre was killed while attempting in vain to guard the Night Mother's crypt from desecration, incinerated by a fiery spell cast by a mage.
[edit] Amaund Motierre (?b - ?d)
A member of the Motierre family, a very old and powerful Breton family firmly established in Cyrodiil. They were apparently powerful enough to find the ambitious Amaund a seat on the Elder Council. Around 4E 201, Amaund yearned to take the Ruby Throne for himself, and was looking for a way to have Emperor Titus Mede II assassinated so that he might have it.[7]
[edit] Amiel Lannus (?b - 3E 153)
A renowned knight who first made a name for himself in the War of the Isle, Sir Amiel Lannus was a hero of Cyrodiil, maybe all of Tamriel. He formed the Knights of the Nine in 3E 111 which performed many great deeds before the political machinations of the War of the Red Diamond tore the order apart. Sir Amiel spent many of his final years living in solitude in the order's former priory.[8] In 3E 153, he made a final quest to recover an ancient relic he had been seeking for decades, but unfortunately did not survive the attempt.[9]
[edit] Governor Amiel Richton (2E 816 - 2E 864)
Richton became the Provisional Governor of Stros M'Kai after winning the Battle of Hunding Bay. Died in the year 2E 864 at the hands of the rebel Redguard Cyrus.[10]
"Bold Admiral Richton", a popular drinking song, is mentioned in The Balladeer's Fakebook.
[edit] Ancano (?b - 4E 201)
An Altmer agent of the Thalmor assigned as "advisor" to the Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold. The other members of the College deeply and somewhat openly distrusted him due to his Thalmor allegiance. He vehemently denied that he was a spy, claiming only that the Thalmor wished to promote relations with the College (even though he belittled their work and importance frequently). He was deeply distrustful of the Psijic Order, which he viewed as a rogue organization and enemy of the Thalmor. When the Eye of Magnus was brought to the College from Saarthal, he turned on them, killing several mages, including Arch-Mage Savos Aren. He sought to gain control over the Eye, and nearly created a devastating catastrophe which would have had enormous ramifications on Winterhold and possibly all of Tamriel. However, he was thwarted and killed before he could do anything truly disastrous, and the Eye was subsequently secured by the Psijic Order.[7]
[edit] Andorak Septim (?b - ?d)
Emperor Uriel IV's son, Andorak was disinherited by vote of the Council, and a cousin more closely related to the original Septim line was proclaimed Cephorus II by the next year, 3E 248. For the first nine years of Cephorus II's reign, those loyal to Andorak battled the Imperial forces. In an act that the sage Eraintine called "Tiber Septim's heart beating no more", the Council granted Andorak the High Rock kingdom of Shornhelm to end the war. Andorak's descendants still rule Shornhelm as of the Fourth Era.[11]
[edit] Anthil Morvir (2E-? - 2E-?)
See Gor Felim. The purported author of the play A Hypothetical Treachery.
[edit] Antiochus (?b - 3E 120)
Crowned the Emperor of Tamriel in 3E 99[12] after the death of his father, Pelagius II. Antiochus was certainly one of the most flamboyant of the usually austere Septim family. He had many mistresses and nearly as many wives, and was renowned for his grandness of dress and his good humor. The province of Summerset was nearly lost under the leadership of Antiochus, 11 years (3E 110) after he took the throne. An alliance between Antiochus and the Kings of Summerset only managed to defeat King Orgnum of the island-kingdom of Pyandonea due to a freak storm.[4] Legend credits the Psijic Order of the Isle of Artaeum with the magic behind the storm.[4][13] Unfortunately, his reign was rife with civil wars, surpassing even that of his grandfather Uriel II. Emperor Antiochus died after 13 years of rule and his daughter, Kintyra II, took the throne.[4] He was considered a good ruler despite his drinking and "moral laxity".[14]
His character plays a substantial role in the popular historical fiction The Wolf Queen.
[edit] Saint Aralor the Penitent (?b - ?d)
Patron of Tanners and Miners. This foul criminal repented his sins and traveled a circuit of the great pilgrimages on his knees.[15] His famed hair shirt is an artifact coveted by the Tribunal Temple.[16]
[edit] Arden-Sul (?b - ?d)
Arden-Sul was a powerful prophet and ruler from an old time in the Shivering Isles. The events of his life and death are widely disputed by the people of the Isles, particularly in regards to the Sacellum. As with everything else in the Isles, the division in viewpoints lies between Mania and Dementia. The only thing the ruling powers seem to agree on is that he was a prophet who preached in the building that shares his name, the Sacellum Arden-Sul and had 213 followers. The Manic and Demented versions of his death have even become part of the ritual of accession for each respective duchy. A longer version of his life can be found in the book The Prophet Arden-Sul. Not much is known about Arden-Sul. Some say he was a hero, some say he is some sort of god. The Heretics believe that Arden-Sul is the true lord of the Shivering Isles and that Sheogorath is just a man who needs to be overthrown. The Zealots believe that Sheogorath is a living god (an Aedra bound in human form) and that Arden-Sul is the personification of Sheogorath's mortality. The beliefs of the maniacs and the demented contradict each other almost completely. For more information, see the lore article.
[edit] Arlimahera, Blood Queen of Hegathe (?b - ?d)
Queen of Hegathe, an entry written in her journals in 2E 412 is the earliest known record mentioning the name of the Dark Brotherhood.[17]
[edit] Arniel Gane (?b - ?d)
A Breton researcher and Alteration mage at the College of Winterhold in the Fourth Era. Arniel studied the ruins of Saarthal, and had a particular interest in Dwemer artifacts. He was both passionate about his work and paranoid that it would be stolen or compromised. He endeavored to discover the secret behind one of the greatest mysteries of Tamriel: the disappearance of the Dwemer. In 4E 201, his work came to a head when he finally succeeded in having the dagger Keening brought to the College from Morrowind. He used Kagrenac's tool in an experiment he had devised to try and recreate the event that caused the Dwemer's disappearance. Unfortunately, Arniel's recreation proved to be too accurate. He has not been seen since.[7]
[edit] Arngeir (?b - ?d)
A powerful Greybeard who lived in and around 4E 201. At the time, Arngeir was the only human of the order with the control over his thu'um necessary to speak without fear of wreaking havoc. Therefore, he acted as the Greybeards' representative during this period. He was the right hand of Paarthurnax, the Grandmaster of the order. Arngeir tutored the Dovahkiin in the Way of the Voice and helped the last dragonborn bring about the defeat of Alduin.[7]
[edit] Arslan II (3E 319 - 3E 377)
Father to the future Daggerfall King Lysandus.[18]
[edit] King Athyn Llethan (?b - 3E 425)
The figurehead Dunmer ruler of Mournhold known as the "Grace of All Gods, King of Morrowind, Duke of Mournhold; Defender of the People and the Law; Loyal Servant of the Emperor and Empire", etc.[19][20] He was the uncle and successor to Queen Barenziah after The Arnesian War in 3E 396, and he was succeeded by King Hlaalu Helseth.[21] Shortly before his death, he was dealing with complaints about high tariffs on liquor.[22][23] It's rumored Helseth poisoned him.[24] Hlaalu Brevur is one of his ancestors.[citation needed] King Llethan left behind his wife, Ravani Llethan.
[edit] Prince A'tor (?b - ?d)
Son of the last 'High King' of Hammerfell, King Thassad II who had died in 2E 862. Prince A'tor made a bloody attempt to recapture the city after it was taken by the Forebears, but was eventually defeated by combined forces of the Forebears and Tiber Septim's fleet at the Battle of Hunding Bay near Stros M'Kai.[25] It is rumored that his soul was enchanted into an extremely powerful blade which was instrumental in liberating the island of Stros M'Kai from the clutches of Lord Richton, but the sword has not been seen since that time.[10]
[edit] Prince Attrebus Mede (4E 18 - ?d)
Prince Attrebus Mede was the son of Emperor Titus Mede.[26]
[edit] Lord Auberon Flyte (?b - ?d)
Lord Auberon Flyte and his wife Doryanna were the rulers of Anticlere, a region in the Iliac Bay, formerly known as Reich Gradkeep. They were the leaders of Anticlere's knightly order, the Knights of the Flame.
They became regents of Reich Gradkeep following the slaughter of the previous ruler, Lord Graddock, and most of his family during the War of Betony. Of the previous ruling family, only one sickly infant survived. Lord and Lady Flyte ruled in regency until the infant's death. Lord Flyte's strong, almost dictatorial style was just what Reich Gradkeep needed to restore order after the bloodbath caused by the Treaty of Reich Gradkeep. After the infant's death, Lord Flyte and his wife were elevated from regents to rulers by their subjects. They also agreed to rename the region in his honor; thus, Reich Gradkeep became Anticlere, named after Lord Flyte's ancestral home.
[edit] Aubk-i (3E 386 - ?d)
Queen Aubk-i was born to King Camaron and Queen Akorithi of Sentinel. She was sister to Greklith and Lhotun. She was married to Gothryd of Daggerfall, and became the new Queen when Gothryd ascended the throne in 3E 403.
[edit] Augur of Dunlain (?b - ?d)
The Augur was once a Breton mage and a well-respected, brilliant student of the College of Winterhold. He delved into magic in a way no one had seen before, and showed a particular talent for the School of Restoration. However, during an ambitious magical experiment, he lost his corporeal form, appearing instead as a large sphere of blue-white light. He has resided in the Midden, the catacombs beneath the College, ever since. He possesses a unique wisdom which the College has relied on in times of need. In 4E 201, he guided the College through the potentially disastrous crisis they faced following their excavation of Saarthal and the discovery of the Eye of Magnus.[7]
[edit] Queen Ayrenn of Alinor (2E 555 - ?d)
Queen Ayrenn of Alinor was a leader of the Aldmeri Dominion in the Second Era. She was born on the 5th of Second Seed in 2E 555 to her father King Hidellith and her mother Kinlady Tuinden, and all of the Summerset Isle reportedly celebrated for fifty-five days. She was nimble and quick-witted in her youth, and would often disappear for days at a time. In 2E 563, amid many signs and portents, she disappeared, and her brother Naemon was eventually named heir to the throne. There are many myths about how Ayrenn spent the intervening years, but when her father died in 2E 580, she surfaced in Valenwood to the surprise of all and returned to formally claim her birthright, becoming Queen on the 7th of Frostfall (hence her nickname, the "Unforeseen Queen").
[edit] Azra Nightwielder (?b - ?d)
Azra Nightwielder was the original Shadowmage, and a pioneer of Shadow Magic. He was the first to discover that shadows were not merely an absence of light, but the reflection of possible worlds created by forces in conflict. Azra attempted to manipulate his own shadow to such an extent that all possible versions of himself would become melded into a singular existence. Redguard soldiers, fearing the power he would command should he succeed, surrounded him in northern Hammerfell. During the fight, Azra lost control of his magic and blasted a large hole in the ground, having apparently perished. A small village grew around this crater; it was named Azra's Crossing in homage to the wizard.
Many years later, during the Imperial Simulacrum, an Umbra' Keth (Shadow of Conflict) formed due to the ongoing War of the Bend'r-mahk. In 3E 397, an unknown hero on a quest to destroy the Umbra' Keth discovered a large crystal in the depths of the Fearfrost Caverns. Inside this crystal was Azra Nightwielder, who was suffering from memory loss and couldn't recall his identity. Azra connected his shadow with the hero, who promised to uncover the mage's identity. The second incarnation of Pergan Asuul, a shadowmage who was trying to strengthen the Umbra' Keth by battling with the hero repeatedly, revealed the mage's name with his dying breath, which helped to restore Azra's memory.
Azra and the hero met again in the crater in Azra's Crossing. Azra provided vital information pertaining to the Star Teeth, which were needed to defeat the Umbra' Keth. The shadowmage appeared at the final battle between the hero and the Umbra' Keth, and has not been sighted since.
Although less well known, Azra was also a pioneer in the field of enchanting staffs, and, although his methods grew to be considered rudimentary by the standards of the Fourth Era, he was still considered a genius in his field. Many of his staves can still be found scattered across Tamriel. Master Neloth of House Telvanni is a collector of Azra's work, and has admitted to have learned a lot from studying his staves.
Azra Root, an expensive herb, bears the shadowmage's name.

Current Exhibition:
- At Home with Morris – Katherine Green
4 April – 2 June
At Home with Morris is a new exhibition of an on-going project by photographer Katherine Green. This is the first time the work has been exhibited as a series.
The project is a series of intimate domestic studies about home decoration and personal taste. It focuses on the homes of William Morris admirers who have chosen to decorate their environments with his designs.
This series explores identity and taste, at a time when the predominant trend in home decoration is for minimal and 'neutral' design. Few other designers inspire such dedication and passion and for the majority of the homes photographed, decorating with Morris designs is an extension of personal and political beliefs.
For the past two decades, ideas of home decoration and design have radically shifted. Access to cheap simple designer furniture and style are infinitely more accessible since the opening of stores like IKEA. From the 1990's we began seeing various formats for home decoration and property programs on the television. The trend towards creating a neutral (usually beige) canvas which other people could 'project their personalities' onto has become important for many when considering decorating. In contrast these images are full of personality and idiosyncrasies, and are a celebration of pattern, politics and beliefs.
Katherine says:
I set out to make simple and quiet studies of domestic interiors but quickly became interested in some of the similarities I found between the inhabitants. They were all passionate about Morris and his beliefs, and this interest was lived out through their decoration. It reminded me of the way teenagers sometimes populate their rooms with their idols, and I wondered whether this had similarities. I enjoy meeting people who aren't swayed by the current trends but are led by their own interests and beliefs. I love the way, there's a total abundance of print, pattern and colour – it's all consuming and exuberant, a statement and a commitment. To me it shows personality and passion.
Katherine Green is a social documentary photographer based in London, UK. Her work often focuses on the idea of community and what makes or bonds communities. Her work has been exhibited as part of Road to 2012 at National Portrait Gallery and she currently has an exhibition called Centre Stage at The Lowry, Salford 2(6 January 2012 – 12 May 2013). Katherine studied postgraduate photography at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design, London and Fine Art at Surrey Institute of Art & Design. Katherine is commissioned by galleries or works on personal projects which often culminate in an exhibition.
Her work has been published in Sunday Times, The Guardian, The Independent and Time Out and she has had solo shows in London, Luton, Rugby, Scunthorpe and Wolverhampton. She has self-published two books, Wood Street, E17 and Last Days at the Dogs and is included in the National Portrait Gallery's Road to 2012 publication.

The Federal Government has officially begun a parliamentary inquiry into alleged price discrepancies between Australia and overseas for technology products.
The inquiry, first announced last month, will investigate whether price differences exist with hardware and software sold locally compared to the US, UK and Asia Pacific.
Communications minister Stephen Conroy has requested the Standing Committee on Infrastructure and Communications, chaired by Nick Champion, investigate whether Australians are being hit harder for technology prices, and look at ways of limiting the gap.
The investigation comes as a result of a lengthy campaign by Labor backbencher Ed Husic, who late last year attacked IT vendors for ripping off Australian customers.
He told Parliament in November Australian buyers were paying up to 80 percent more for comparative technology products and vowed to improve "value for money".
"I want to keep the spotlight on and let the vendors know that if they think they can ignore the issue or ignore Government, well in fact Government has a very big interest in ensuring prices are fair," he told BIT sister publication, iTnews.
Husic today said the inquiry would not only give consumers the opportunity to get questions answered, it would allow vendors to educate the public about the factors involved in setting local prices.
"As much as it's about consumers and businesses having a say, it gives vendors an opportunity to explain what's going on," Husic said.
"I've been working with these issues for a year, trying to get answers which haven't been forthcoming, and I hope the vendors themselves take the opportunity to engage fully in this enquiry and educate the public as well."
The committee will take submissions from today until July 6.

Our Garden: It's a learning experience.
First of all, here's the world out front.
I won my little battle against the weeds in the path and we've trimmed up some of the hedges. There's a fun hot-pink something-or-other blooming now. So yay for the front of the house!
Now onto the veggie garden.
I'll be honest with you. When I was editing these photos last night, I was wondering why I was even sharing them at all. There's not much of a ta-da here.
In fact, some of these are downright embarrassing. The weeds! The cucumber beetle damage!
Oh, those cucumber beetles. Two weeks ago, I didn't even know what they were. Then one morning I found about 20 on each of my pumpkins, squash, cucumbers, melons, etc. I tried the old soap and water trick. That did nothing. I tried a slightly harsher, but still natural store-bought spray. Nope. Then I got up the courage to try the "squish their little bodies and leave the carcasses on the leaves so that it smells like death to them" method.
I wore gloves, but I still screamed the whole time. I'm not going lie. At least out here, there's no one to hear me! So I just scream away as much as I need to in order to get the job done.
I don't know if it was really my bug killing or not, but after a few days, I saw a lot fewer beetles on my plants. And now there are hardly any at all. I trimmed back most of the damaged parts and look! We have zucchinis growing! I think that means I may have done something right! I think they might survive!
So why am I showing you photos of my sad-looking plants? Is this supposed to motivate you to go out and create a beautiful garden of your own? Well, maybe, but probably not. But also, maybe your garden looks like mine. And maybe you know nothing about gardening and it's a learning experience for you too. So maybe you'll realize that you're not the only one with a half-successful garden in a bloggy world where we only show off our best. I just love getting a little taste of reality up in here every now and then.
Or maybe your garden doesn't look like mine. Maybe it's thriving and full and weedless and maybe this will help you realize how much you've learned in your gardening pursuits and how much you really do know. And maybe you'll share some of that knowledge with me!
One day I'll be just like you, Experienced Gardener Lady. And this is how I'm getting there.
Don't worry. I did pull that weed after I saw it in this photo.
People have been checking up on our garden. They drive by and report back to Chris' parents. They've been saying nice things. I know they just can't see all the weeds from the road, but it does make me feel encouraged.
If it wasn't looking so good, I know we'd hear about it. "So, I hear you're having a little trouble with the old garden, there." With a little wink and a smile. Or something like that. Because we're those crazy kids with the too-big garden who moved here from the city and suddenly we think we're little farmers or something. But they don't say that! They just say it's looking good!
And we have corn! I can't wait until the rows get to be really tall. I don't know what it is with me and corn fields, but I just love them.
This. This view is what makes me feel like it's all not so bad. The leeks and the broccoli and the cauliflower. They're all just as happy as can be.
Can you tell my mind is just spinning? Can you tell I have 1001 thing to show you and tell you all about this garden? Can you tell I'm lost and hopeful and overwhelmed and a little proud all at the same time?
I guess that's why the only way I can sum it up is to say: Yup, it's a learning experience.
And the season's really only just getting started. Pin It

I'm so envious!! If I planted a veggie garden like that, the deer would mow it down overnight. Sigh...

I think you are doing a terrific job and heck you already have produce and that's good this early in the year. I've been gardening for many, many years and there are two things you can do that might help a little. Always (if you can) water in the morning and plant your plants a little closer together (don't leave a lot of space between the rows) and you'll have less weeding to do. I buy most of my seeds and plants from Burpee on-line. They tend to be more bug resistant and just grow better. Keep up the good work. I know you are going to have a garden you can really be proud of.

You should be proud of your garden. It is bound to have challenges and a learning curve, but they all start somewhere and at least you guys started. I think you might be pleasantly surprised when it comes to harvest time. If and when we move one day, and the veggie garden becomes a reality, I will be looking to you for advice :)

Your home looks lovely and your garden is really coming along! Good for you! For a beginner, you must be doing something right. I can picture you out there screaming as you squished the bugs! Very funny visual! I would have done the same!
I gave up on veggie gardening long ago. I didn't know so many bugs and critters were so hungry here for fresh produce! But I am getting the old gardening urge once again and maybe, just maybe.... someday soon. I will be sure to learn a few things from you as you go along! xx - 11 June 2012 15:34

You're gardening, that in itself is something to be proud of...and don't let anyone fool you, a gardener is always learning something new.
A couple of helpful hints that saved me a lot of extra labour: (hope you don't mind?)if you plant borage around the perimeter of your garden those pests will hit it rather than your cucumbers, etc.. Just plant it as far away from your melons, cukes, and squash as you can. Also, if you mulch around your plants with straw (not hay!) you cut down drastically on the weeding, help keep the ground soft and moist, and it breaks down to make even better soil next year.

I have read that you can lay down layers of newspaper between your rows to act as a "mulch" and keep down the weeds. You'll have to weight it down with some rocks or "stake it" in places with popsicle sticks or sharpened twigs, though, unless you cover it with a layer of other type of mulch. The newspaper is better than plastic because it is organic and will gradually decompose, adding fiber to the soil. I know it sounds crazy but it would be a cheap form of mulch if you subscribe to the newspaper!

Squash bugs are a terrible thing. have had them myself.
The only thing that works against them are row covers. We bought our row cover material from an AG Supply house, cut them the length we needed and put white plastic piping under them like a little hoop house and then cement blocks to hold them in place.
Organic Magazine or on-line forum may also be of help.
We take them off as soon as the flowers are in bloom. Seems to work for us here in MI!
Good luck!

I think it's looking great! We have been very lucky with a small but very productive garden this year for the first time. But because of our extreme summer, our garden was producing much earlier than most & it will soon be finished. The spaghetti & acorn squash have all matured & are now safely residing inside a nice dark closet. And I think I picked the last zucchini this morning. The things that are still going strong are the lemon cucs, peppers & all the tomatoes, but we had to put up shade cloth to keep them from cooking on the vine.....lol! Now that we know what & how to do this gardening stuff, we want to make it much bigger next season! Just hang in there; yours is coming along fine!

European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said on Friday that inflation expectations remain well anchored and there is no inflation risk in any euro area country.
"Should risks to price stability emerge, the Eurosystem has sufficient tools at its disposal to absorb excess liquidity," Draghi said in a speech at the 14th ECB Watchers Conference in Frankfurt.
"Price stability will remain a cornerstone of economic and monetary union," he added.
Political choices are dominating the monetary policy, Draghi told the conference. The Eurosystem will continue to supply liquidity to solvent banks where needed, he reiterated.
He also noted that the objectives of the ECB's three-year long term financing operations or LTROs have been 'broadly met'. Citing evidence from the April bank lending survey, Draghi said supply side constraints on bank credit have been removed.
"The full supportive impact of the three-year LTROs needs time to unfold," the central bank chief said.
"In the current environment of very weak credit demand and heightened risk aversion, a rebound in the volume of credit will be particularly slow."

Cassava is grown widely in developing countries
FLICKR/IITA Image Library (International Institute of Tropical Agriculture)
[LIMA] A study that last year claimed to have found a way to boost the protein content of a staple crop rich in energy but poor in protein has been retracted after researchers failed to find any supporting data to back up its claims.
The study, published in PLoS ONE in January 2011, has been cited at least five times.
The authors claimed to have created a genetically modified (GM) cassava crop that expressed a gene called zeolin, thereby increasing the protein content by 12.5 per cent and potentially allowing the plant to become "capable of supplying inexpensive, plant-based proteins for food, feed and industrial applications".
But the study was retracted this month after the authors were unable to find the zeolin gene in plants from subsequent studies. The retraction notice says that "an institutional investigation revealed that significant amounts of data and supporting documentation that were claimed to be produced by the first author could not be found" and "the validity of the results could not be verified".
Cassava is a staple food in many developing countries, but its nutritional content — especially in protein and micronutrients — is low, something that the researchers from the Laboratory for Tropical Agricultural Biotechnology at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in the United States and Mayaguez University in Puerto Rico said they were on the verge of overcoming with the GM cassava.
The lead author of the article, Mohammad Abhary, left the Danforth Center in the middle of 2011, and the corresponding author Claude Fauquetdid not respond to SciDev.Net's requests for comment.
In a statement to Retraction Watch blog, Danforth president James Carrington, admitted that questions arose shortly after the paper was published, when the researchers tried to extend the findings.
Carrington said a more systematic analysis "indicated that the materials published in the paper were not as described, and that the materials that were described could not be found".
Rodomiro Ortiz, professor of plant breeding and biotechnology at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, told SciDev.Net that the case confirms the need not only for rigor in initial research, but for experiments to be repeated before publication.
"It's unfortunate to come to this situation but [retraction] was necessary to keep the ethical values of scientific research," he added.
Ortiz, a breeder of several crops including cassava, had been sceptical when SciDev.Net asked him for an independent comment about this study in 2011, saying that the genetic material of wild and native cassava varieties should be further studied for cassava biofortification, instead of using genetic modification.

"its nutritional content — especially in protein and micronutrients — is low"
Dr. Hindhede during a blockade during the first world war proved a human being needs only one gram of protein intake for every ten pounds of body weight. The World Health Organisation says we need 3.5 grams per ten pounds body weight. Dr. Hindhede found a vegetarian need not worry about protein because they will get what little protein they need from the food they eat. A 'high protein cassava' is not required.

The concept of "publish or perish" shouldnt be overemphasized in critical research such as GMO. Cassava is a starchy root crop with high productivity and photosynthetic potential. Also there are wide genetic diversity among cultivated germplasm and in related wild species , indicating the importance of taping through conventional breeding programs this naturally oocuring genetic diversity in improving the cassava crop.

Congrates for Dr Carrrington, His courage , honesty and faithfullness to his scientific mission and his noble principles are highly appreciated by scientific community. As Rodomiro Ortiz said, Wild species and indigenous cultivars must have been exploited before running after molecular transformation to transfer bacteria and virus genes!! see a lot of information on wild cassava as resource of protein in www.geneconserve.pro.br and in publication of this researcher.
Nagib Nassar,Universidade Brasilia,Brasil ( Brazil )

Wild Manihot species as a safety source of protein should have been exploited befoe looking to another unsafety aource in virus or bacteria and trying to transfer it by molecular means. So many successful work has been done on this subject by this author and his associates at the Universidade de Brasilia, through very low expensive projects supported by the Brazilian National Council of Research Development- CNPq, Brasilia and the Canadian International Research Development Center - IDRC. Not obly rich in Protein hybrids were obtained, but essential amino acids which do not occur in common cassava were reached. See for example this article published some five years ago in Genetics and Moleculkar Research :Amino acid profile in cassava and its interspecific hybrid by
Nagib M.A. Nassar1 and M.V. Sousa2

The first publication on transferring high protein content from the wild was in 1982 (thirty years ago) by Nassar and Dorea in Turrialba as follows: Protein content of cassava cultivars and its hybrid with wild Manihot species
NMA Nassar, JG Dorea - Turrialba, 1982. The case of Wild Cassava rich in protein was documented in several publications in the decade 1970 by Nassar and co workers. For example publication in the leading Suisse Journal Experientia in 1977 as follows : NASSAR, NM A. and COSTA, C. 1977. Tuber formation and protein content in some wild
Manihot species native of Central Brazil. Experientia (Basel) 33: I304- I305
Pollyanna Gomes ( Brazil )
1 October 2012
In my MSc thesis, analysing protein content in cassava interspecific hybrids and their progenies developed by my supervisor Prof Nagib Nassar, Universidade de Brasilia, I could detect and select progenies which have protein content as high as 6,00 percent. Their essential amino acids profile revealed to be rich in amino acids normally absent in common cassava, such as arginin, methionin and tryptophane. In the meantime they showed very low HCN content which exclude any possibility of atribution to Nitrogen due to hydrocyanic acid hydrolysis. These results are expecting for publication at Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, Springer. This fact support what was said above that exploitation of the wild is necessary before looking for sources of protein in bacteria and virus genes.

Science News
Just a few words of introduction to this most devastating news for the icons of modern science. Marilyn vos Savant holds the Guinness world record for the highest IQ, presently at 228. Working for Parade magazine, she was once posed with this question:
"What one discovery or event would prove all or most of modern scientific theory wrong?"
The question was posed by a Jennifer W. Webster in the May 22, 1988 issue. Ms. Savant's answer was:
"If the speed of light were discovered not to be constant, modern scientific theory would be devastated."
As for what Ms. Savant said in the past that she might now apply to the fact that E ≠ mc2, she once stated: "I'm beginning to think simply that mathematics can be invented to describe anything, and matter is no exception." (Mario Livio, The Golden Ratio, 2002, p. 245).
Now, I hate to say "I told you so," but I did tell you so. In fact, this breaking of the speed of light was just a matter of time. We predicted it in my book Galileo Was Wrong: The Church Was Right (GWW). It all stems from the 1887 Michelson-Morley experiment (MMX). Einstein himself said: "If Michelson-Morley is wrong, then Relativity is wrong" (Einstein's words to Sir Herbert Samuel on the grounds of Government House, Jerusalem, Israel, cited in Einstein: The Life and Times, p. 107). What Einstein meant was that if his interpretation of MMX was wrong, then his whole theory would be wrong. Well, in GWW, we stated over and over again that Einstein's interpretation was definitely wrong, and this is proven by the recent neutrino experiments. We stated in GWW that MMX showed a small but real presence of ether. Einstein misinterpreted MMX and concluded that there was no ether, which resulted in him postulating that: (a) space was a vacuum and the speed of light through that vacuum would never change, and (b) that nothing could travel faster than the speed of light. The reason Einstein made this misinterpretation of MMX was because he assumed as his foundational fact that the Earth was revolving around the sun at 18.5mps instead of not moving at all. In fact, he knew that one of the solutions to MMX was to conclude that the Earth wasn't moving. Michelson himself admitted this to be the case when he wrote: "This conclusion directly contradicts the explanation of the phenomenon of aberration which has been hitherto generally accepted, and which presupposes that the Earth moves" (Albert A. Michelson, "The Relative Motion of the Earth and the Luminiferous Ether," American Journal of Science, Vol. 22, August 1881, p. 125). But neither Einstein nor the rest of the scientific community wanted to go in that direction. As his biographer put it: "As Einstein wrestled with the cosmological implications of the General Theory, the first of these alternatives, the Earth-centered universe of the Middle Ages, was effectively ruled out" (Einstein: The Life and Times, p. 267). The cost for this was high. It would require the total upheaval of science. It would require the speed of light to be unsurpassable; require time to dilate, mass to increase, length to shrink, and twins to age a different rates. It was just a matter of time before this haunted house of mirrors was exposed to be fallacious. The neutrino experiment is just one in a long line of falsifications of Einstein's theory. The neutrino experiment just happens to be one of the more precise and verified. This means that modern science has no explanation for MMX, and the only one remaining is the one that Einstein decided to reject – that the Earth is not moving. Once again, modern science has vindicated Holy Scripture.
As we would expect, the science community is trying its best to downplay or dismiss the neutrino results. But they really can't. The results were not just from one experiment. According to the article below there were 16,000 trials of the experiment, and all 16,000 showed that the speed of light was broken by the neutrinos. It's time for science to go back to the drawing board.
Neutrino OPERA experiments
After 3 years of data taking in the CNGS neutrino beam from CERN with the OPERA detector at LNGS, and several months of analysis and checks, a really unexpected result has come out last week: the time of flight of CNGS neutrinos detected by OPERA appears to be shorter by 20 parts per million as compared to that of light. The researchers, after a careful scrutiny of statistical and systematical errors have decided to publicize this astonishing anomaly with a series of seminars and with a paper recently appeared on the archives. The goal is to go along with a broader evaluation of the community with the hope of collecting ideas, proposals and eventually to trigger independent measurements for the understanding of the effect, and hopefully to lead to its confirmation.
The OPERA detector at LNGS was designed for the study of neutrino oscillations in appearance mode, but it is also well suited to provide a precision measurement of the neutrino velocity over the 730 km baseline of the CNGS neutrino beam sent from CERN to LNGS through the Earth's crust. A time of flight measurement with small systematic uncertainties was made possible by a series of accurate metrology techniques to which contributed various specialized European institutes. The data analysis was based on a large sample of about 16000 neutrino interaction events detected by OPERA. The sensitivity of the measurement of (v-c)/c is about one order of magnitude better than previous accelerator neutrino experiments, notably the MINOS experiment in the NuMI beam from Fermilab. Just to give a feeling of the level of accuracy reached by the researchers, the baseline of nearly 730 km was determined with a global uncertainty of 20 cm, while the time of flight measurement is affected by a total error of ~10 ns.
The results indicate for CNGS muon neutrinos with an average energy of 17 GeV an early neutrino arrival time with respect to the one computed by assuming the speed of light in vacuum of (60.7 ± 6.9 (stat.) ± 7.4 (sys.)) ns. If we transform this measurement into a relative difference of the muon neutrino velocity with respect to the speed of light one obtains: (v-c)/c = (2.48 ± 0.28 (stat.) ± 0.30 (sys.)) ×10-5, with an overall significance of 6.0 σ. The dependence of this time anticipation on the neutrino energy was also investigated yielding a negative result, within the statistical errors.
Despite the large significance of the measurement, the confidence of the Collaboration on the data analysis, and the many check conducted to look for instrumental effects and systematic errors, there is a potentially great impact on physics that motivates and justifies great care and prudence. For this reason, on the one hand the OPERA researchers will continue their studies aimed the investigation of possible still unknown systematic effects that could explain the observed anomaly, and on the other hand, they will improve their measurement by increasing the statistics and by trying to have a better assessment of the present systematic errors.
Tiny Neutrinos May Have Broken Cosmic Speed Limit
Published: September 22, 2011
Roll over, Einstein?
The physics world is abuzz with news that a group of European physicists plans to announce Friday that it has clocked a burst of subatomic particles known as neutrinos breaking the cosmic speed limit — the speed of light — that was set by Albert Einstein in 1905.
If true, it is a result that would change the world. But that "if" is enormous.
Even before the European physicists had presented their results — in a paper that appeared on the physics Web site arXiv.org on Thursday night and in a seminar at CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research, on Friday — a chorus of physicists had risen up on blogs and elsewhere arguing that it was way too soon to give up on Einstein and that there was probably some experimental error. Incredible claims require incredible evidence.
"These guys have done their level best, but before throwing Einstein on the bonfire, you would like to see an independent experiment," said John Ellis, a CERN theorist who has published work on the speeds of the ghostly particles known as neutrinos.
According to scientists familiar with the paper, the neutrinos raced from a particle accelerator at CERN outside Geneva, where they were created, to a cavern underneath Gran Sasso in Italy, a distance of about 450 miles, about 60 nanoseconds faster than it would take a light beam. That amounts to a speed greater than light by about 0.0025 percent (2.5 parts in a hundred thousand).
Even this small deviation would open up the possibility of time travel and play havoc with longstanding notions of cause and effect. Einstein himself — the author of modern physics, whose theory of relativity established the speed of light as the ultimate limit — said that if you could send a message faster than light, "You could send a telegram to the past."
Alvaro de Rujula, a theorist at CERN, called the claim "flabbergasting."
"If it is true, then we truly haven't understood anything about anything," he said, adding: "It looks too big to be true. The correct attitude is to ask oneself what went wrong."
The group that is reporting the results is known as Opera, for Oscillation Project with Emulsion-Tracking Apparatus. Antonio Ereditato, the physicist at the University of Bern who leads the group, agreed with Dr. de Rujula and others who expressed shock. He told the BBC that Opera — after much internal discussion — had decided to put its results out there in order to get them scrutinized.
"My dream would be that another, independent experiment finds the same thing," Dr. Ereditato told the BBC. "Then I would be relieved."
Neutrinos are among the weirdest denizens of the weird quantum subatomic world. Once thought to be massless and to travel at the speed of light, they can sail through walls and planets like wind through a screen door. Moreover, they come in three varieties and can morph from one form to another as they travel along, an effect that the Opera experiment was designed to detect by comparing 10-microsecond pulses of protons on one end with pulses of neutrinos at the other. Dr. de Rujula pointed out, however, that it was impossible to identify which protons gave birth to which neutrino, leading to statistical uncertainties.
Dr. Ellis noted that a similar experiment was reported by a collaboration known as Minos in 2007 on neutrinos created at Fermilab in Illinois and beamed through the Earth to the Soudan Mine in Minnesota. That group found, although with less precision, that the neutrino speeds were consistent with the speed of light.
Measurements of neutrinos emitted from a supernova in the Large Magellanic Cloud in 1987, moreover, suggested that their speeds differed from light by less than one part in a billion.
John Learned, a neutrino astronomer at the University of Hawaii, said that if the results of the Opera researchers turned out to be true, it could be the first hint that neutrinos can take a shortcut through space, through extra dimensions. Joe Lykken of Fermilab said, "Special relativity only holds in flat space, so if there is a warped fifth dimension, it is possible that on other slices of it, the speed of light is different."
But it is too soon for such mind-bending speculation. The Opera results will generate a rush of experiments aimed at confirming or repudiating it, according to Dr. Learned. "This is revolutionary and will require convincing replication," he said.

I know this has been discussed on here before and reading a previous discussion helped me before. I completed a goodreads giveaway for my first novel and it was easy to use and fun. I then tried rafflecopter but apparently my wordpress blog isn't in the right format or something?
At any rate I can't use rafflecopter. I tried to do a second goodreads book giveaway but it wasn't approved. So my guess is that they only let you do one giveaway per new book? Does anyone know of another giveaway method besides using goodreads or rafflecopter? I just got a box of books from my publisher to be used in giveaways and I need to figure out how to use them wisely.
I thought about just posting it on my own blog, but sadly I don't have many views on there yet. Any ideas?
Tags: giveaways, goodreads, marketing, rafflecopter
Well, there is always the old-fashioned way of doing giveaways. Having people leave comments for their entries. Many times there are wonderful book bloggers out there who would be delighted to host a giveaway. You provide the prize and they host it on their site (which probably has more views and followers than your personal site). They get more hits for having a giveaway and you get more people hearing about your book and wanting a copy of their own. It's a win-win situation.
On my site, I try to host 4-8 giveaways a month for authors, personally. And, if a blogger does it on their site, then they may be able to use the rafflecopter widget (which makes things easier all around). I would suggest seeking out blogs that cater to your own genre as much as possible (ie, paranormal, contemporary, romance, mystery, etc - I don't know what your book is about) and finding people who already blog about that and have a following. You can also try out blogs that do general fiction as they can generate a lot of buzz too.
Good luck. If you want, you can check out the giveaways I do. I have done about 50 of them, and have a couple active ones right now. I don't provide my own prizes generally - the authors provide the book(s) and I do the hosting and most of the advertising.
Another idea...join a blog hop & do the giveaway on your own blog. By joining the hop (one that included your genre) you will not only generate views to your blog but also be in control of the giveaway yourself. Just a thought :)
I'd be willing to host a giveaway for you. http://www.shaynagier.com
Thanks for your suggestions everyone. Shayna, I'm checking out your site now. If you could email me your mailing address I'll send you some free print copies of my book. You can reach me at email@example.com
Hi Logan,
I have done five giveaways on Goodreads, and gave away over forty copies. I also found a list of book bloggers on the Internet at http://bookbloggerdirectory.wordpress.com. I wrote to many of them and ask for reviews. Many said no, but some said yes. I must have sent out another three or four dozen copies. Some also held giveaways of my book on their websites.
The combination of these strategies gave me more than sixty reviews on Goodreads and eighteen on Amazon. But you have to be prepared to spend money and time. My book has been sent all over the U.S., and to Canada, England, Australia, and Spain.
This is a very time consuming process.
Good luck.
Thank you for the advice Andrew. I have just mailed my first book out to Canada this weekend and I'm having my first author review posted tomorrow! I'm very excited. I think you're right, it just takes time to get the word out there. I only have 4 amazon reviews and two on goodreads so far.
Oh I wanted to ask you about the goodreads giveaways. Were all five of them copies of the same book? I was wondering if they would allow you to do multiple giveaways of the same book. Thanks
Hello Logan,
My apologies for not responding sooner.
Yes, Goodreads allows multiple giveaways of the same book. I only have one book, and as I said have done five giveaways. You can also pick which countries are eligible to participate, but remember that you will then have to pay international postage.
I also strongly sugget you use Kindle to make your book into an ebook. Go to https://kdp.amazon.com. This allows you to participate in the KDP Select program.
Here are two other helpful websites:
These websites offer various ways to market your book, some free, some for which you have to pay. Note that you cannot participate in many of their marketing strategies until you have a minimum number of reviews (10 -15), and usually at least an average rating of 4 stars on Amazon.
A lot of people who rate books will only do so on one site, either on Amazon or Goodreads. I was able to get a number of people on Goodreads to cut and paste their reviews on Amazon so I could get the minimum number of reviews required to participate in some of these marketing strategies.
Facebook is another strategy, but I am apparently the last person on the planet not interested in Mr. Zuckerberg's website.
I still think the book bloggers are key. Marketing is hard work. I'm sure a lot of good books fail because nobody ever learns about them.
Good luck.
Hi Logan,
We exclusively do book giveaways on our website Dream ( http://www.dreamonus.com/books ) We use social media to spread the word around. If you want to know more about Dream here's the video presentation ( http://screencast.com/t/S1CSDTRJXiPq )
You can start as many giveaways as you want and its free to use!
Any questions, please let me know I would be happy to help you out!
Regards, Vish Chap
This is why I love this site. I have never even heard of Dream. I will work on setting up my first giveaway ASAP. Thank you.

Wish I would have read more reviews first...
They're cute little wedges, but I trusted the "relaxed fit" note, and didn't read the reviews. I should have. As others have said, they run quite narrow - so much so, in fact, that my foot never did seem to get fully into the shoe as I was wearing it all day, and by afternoon, the sides on the top of my foot and near my little toes were downright pinchy and raw from rubbing. I had hoped, that like my other Crocs, they would stretch out a tiny bit with the first wearing. They do not seem to have done so. The length is fine, but the width is too tiny for my average to maybe a bit wide feet. I wear Cleos all the time, and I adore them. Other Crocs that I've gotten that were "relaxed fit" have been great. These were not. I was hoping for something similar with a bit of a heel, but this is not the fit I need. If your feet are narrow, this may be the one for you.

WAY too narrow!
Unfortunate that I could not stretch these out, as the colors of the Patricia II are SO great, but I'll have to stick with the Patricia. Maybe you can add some fun colors to that line??

Good for multi-activity use
My 9.5 feet are average size/shape - these fit perfectly in a 10. I LOVE how they are nice looking with a skirt, and at the same time comfy and sturdy enough for long, brisk walks (pushing a stroller loaded with groceries and a child up and down hills) without my feet feeling fatigued whatsoever. A bit pricier than some of the other styles, but worth it as my constant go-to pair of shoes. Also like that the Croc branding is a simple silver word on these rather than the button with a crocodile on it. A classier look.

The antislavery movement was among the most powerful reform movements to sweep nineteenth-century America. This anthology examines the movement's evolution from the early years of the republic through the Civil War era. These writings, from abolitionists as well as modern-day historians, reveal the origins, motivations, and character of the antislavery movement.
"The 21 essays, speeches, book excerpts, and personal observations, organized historically, look at the movement from both inside and out. The anthology offers a solid starting point for research."
-- Booklist (September 2002)
"This title in the new American Social Movements series provides a more thorough historical overview. Students seeking authoritative primary and secondary sources...will find this readable and a useful research tool."
-- Booklist (September 2002)
"In the new American Social Movements series, these anthologies of articles, speeches interviews, and scholarly essays are for an older, sophisticated audience. There are some fascinating present day writings sure to open up discussion...There is as much here for adults as there is for teens; in fact, the books would be excellent for family discussion."

I just bought this nailer yesterday so have not truly put it through its paces. However, I did a small project with it yesterday and I've got to say I am impressed. I had ordered a Bostitch from ****** for $144, but yesterday I went to Sears looking for a 3 gallon compressor to power it. I saw this nailer on-sale for $59, and having heard good things about it, cancelled my Bostitch and bought this one. This nailer is quiet (for a nailer), and there is zero kick when you pull the trigger. Loading nails is very easy, and it drives them home quite well. I have not messed with the depth adjustment yet, and did not have any jams to clear. Overall, I can't imagine a better value even if I'd bought it for more money.

This finish nailer is a very nicely designed tool with several good features. The ruggedized lightweight magnesium body, adjustable nail depth, bounce-fire or single-fire switch, and removable nose cover for jam clearing are especially helpful. It performed flawlessly with a full box of 4000 1-1/2" nails while building my 6'x300' privacy fence. It comes with a molded storage case, a small bottle of oil, a spare nose guard and a manual. Truly an excellent value for the price!

IE - message
I am currently working on a website for my company however everytime I open up the site in IE I get the following message:
Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site...
Operation Aborted.
I googled the message and it said that it is a java problem the only thing is that I tryed just about everything that I can think of and cannot find the problem.
Can someone please tell me what is wrong. I have spent hours trying to figure this out and need help.
The ip address to the site is
I hope that this is viewable being that I am running out of ideas
thanks for all your help.it loads fine for me in IE6, IE7, FF & Opera...
:SMy boyfriend helped me with it last night and we got it to work. Thanks for checking it out thoughahh cool :D though it was looking fine...have you noticed that if you move your cursor off "Home" then the area to its right is no longer a link.
I believe I saw that you could add "display: block: to the "a" tag to get around this, then clicking
anywhere in the link box will take you to that link.
another thing, your CSS code should be put into a linked file outside the page's html code. this would
eliminate a lot of duplicate code in the html files.

Question about this map

Much more support that you'd expect from an open sandal, thanks to rear stability posts and a three-point Velcro® strap system that tightly secures the heel, instep, and forefoot. But security doesn't come with compromises, as all strap interiors are lined with Lycra®/neoprene for comfort. The rear strap even comes off, making this the "convertible" of sandals.
