Around 85% of foreign workers are employed by businesses partly or wholly foreign-run, known in China as Joint Ventures and Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprises respectively. These companies are well-established, but facing more competition from local businesses, whose expertise is increasing steadily. One of these companies will probably be your best bet for a job, as there won't be the starting communication difficulties.
Expats looking for employment in China are most likely going to find jobs in the IT and communications sector, as foreign language teachers, or in the finance sector. There are also a number of international companies/organisations based in China that offer employment opportunities for expats. The most convenient way to search for job openings in China is by using online job portals. These enable you to filter your search according to job function, industry, salary and location, or search for keywords.
Examples of job search sites listing jobs in China include:
For jobs with international organisations based in China see: UNJobs.org.
Certain daily newspapers also feature Career sections and publish job advertisements in their print issues and online. For examples of Chinese newspapers in English see:
Another good option for jobseekers in China is to turn to recruitment agencies which can help you find suitable jobs and guide you through the entire application process. However, before choosing one make sure that it is accredited and have a look at online reviews.
Also make sure to look directly on the websites of companies/organisations that interest you. These will often include a section called Employment or Vacancies, where their present job openings are announced. In this respect, you might find it useful to look at the yearly report prepared by Chinahr, a Chinese recruitment agencies, which lists the top 50 companies to work for in China. In 2012, China Mobile Communications Corporation occupied the first place, followed by Procter & Gamble and Baidu. To view the entire list, see the English article on China.org.cn.
You might also be interested in job fairs for expats that take place yearly in Shanghai and Guangzhou.
For information on finding jobs in Hong Kong, see Finding a Job, CVs, Interviews and Etiquette for Expats in Hong Kong.
First impressions count. Your CV (curriculum vitae) is your introduction to the employer, therefore it is essential to have a strong CV, highlighting your academic qualifications and professional experience. Although there is no general CV template and different companies have different preferences, there are some core characteristics that all good CVs have in common.
First of all, your CV should be concise. Ideally, a standard CV in China should be around 1-2 pages long. It is recommended to submit both an English copy and a Chinese translation.
It is also essential that your CV is well-structured. This is easily achieved by dividing the CV into various sections and using subheadings to denote these sections. Typically, CVs in China include the following sections: Personal Details, Education, Work Experience, Further Qualifications, IT Skills, Language Skills and Interests. Unless otherwise specified in the job advertisement, your CV does not need to include References. You may, however, include a section on Career Objectives.
Generally, your personal details should be listed first with your name and surname on top and your contact details (address, telephone number and email) underneath. If applying for work with a Chinese employer, make sure to also include your date of birth, nationality and immigration status. It is also common to include a photograph in the top right-hand corner. If applying for an international company based in China you can normally leave out the date of birth, nationality and photograph.
Sections devoted to education and work experience should be arranged in reverse chronological order, starting with the most recent and any gaps should be accounted for. When listing your academic qualifications, make sure to include the dates attended, the name of the educational institution and the study programme, the degree obtained and any relevant focus during your studies. In terms of work experience, remember to indicate the start and end date, job title and name of the company/organisation you worked for. It is also recommendable to include one or two lines about primary responsibilities and achievements in your recent jobs.
Last but not least, make sure that your spelling and grammar are correct, avoid using informal language and explain any abbreviations used. Furthermore, your CV should be written in a positive tone, pointing out strengths and achievements throughout, yet in a modest manner.
Employers will typically request a cover letter as part of your job application. Cover letters should be one A4-page long and drawn up as a formal business letter. The purpose of a cover letter is to explain your motivation for applying for the position, how your skills and qualifications match the employer's requirements and what you will bring to that particular role. When writing cover letters, pay attention to the requirements mentioned in the job advertisement and comment on how you fulfil these. Chinese employers will appreciate it if you present your abilities in a modest tone.
Expat jobseekers should also keep in mind that in China personal connections (guanxi) and recommendations are of paramount importance. Therefore, if you know that you have a contact in common with the recruiter or if you know someone who works for the company, include that contact in your application.
Further useful information on writing job applications in China can be found on the EuroChinaJob website or on the Hudson website for Job Seekers. For samples of Chinese curriculum vitae see for example the 51 Jobs website.
Generally, interviewers will first give you the opportunity to introduce yourself, present your motivation and argue why you are a good candidate for the position. Following on from this, employers will ask questions about your previous employment and test how your skills match their requirements. Finally, you will have the opportunity to ask questions about your potential future role. All in all, it is key to show that you understand how the company/organisation operates, what its objectives are, and how you could contribute to its success.
In China, it is important to take a copy of your CV, cover letter and copies of your transcripts to the interview.
International companies based in China as well as large domestic companies often use assessment centres for recruiting purposes. Such assessment centres last a day or two and include a range of tasks, such as presentations, group activities and written tests, to test your suitability for the position.
When applying for jobs in China make sure to use formal language and polite wording throughout the application process. Avoid using slang and colloquial expressions and explain all abbreviations you use. In written applications, short versions such as don't and isn't should be avoided and instead spelled out as 'do not' and 'is not'.
When attending a job interview, remember that punctuality is key! It is better to arrive a few minutes early than keep your employer waiting. Another important rule is to dress appropriately. Even if the company/organisation does not have a specific dress code it is still advisable to opt for business-wear in discreet colours and avoid using eye-catching jewellery, high heels or heavy make-up. However, try to avoid dressing all white as white is the colour of mourning in China. On the other hand, a hint of red might be a good idea as it is considered a lucky colour.
Throughout the interview make sure to sit straight and make appropriate eye-contact with the interviewers. Show that you are professional and do not forget that a smile can take you a long way!

There were celebrations galore for mountaineers and mountain lovers. Year 2001 began with Millennium celebrations and ended with plans for the celebrations for the International Year of the Mountains.
The new Millennium celebrations began when the Himalayan Club invited three surviving Tiger Sherpas at a special gathering in Mumbai. This was a fitting honour to the last three living recipients of the Himalayan Club Tiger Badge. They were Ang Tsering (nearly 100 years in age), Nawang Gombu and Tobgay Sherpa.
The Himalayan Club, fulfilling its historic role, awarded the Tigers Badge to those Sherpas who had achieved outstanding success in mountains. The badge was awarded only to a select few, judged by many criteria. HC records of the Sherpas, which were instituted by H.W. Tobin with the founding of the Club in 1928, were maintained as one of the chief occupations of Tobins successors as Hon Local Secretary in Darjeeling.
Ang Tsering was on the expedition to Everest in 1924 when Irvine and Mallory were lost near the summit. In fact he is the only surviving participant of that pre-War expedition. He was also on Nanga Parbat when Will Merkl died in a storm. He was awarded German Order of Red Cross personally signed by Adolf Hitler.
Nawang Gombu is the most honoured and celebrated Sherpa in India today who has climbed Everest twice, the first person to do so. He is Honorary member of the Alpine Club, London. He has also received many National Awards and honours. His association with mountaineering world is long. Tobgay Sherpa has been an instructor at mountaineering Institutes, both at Darjeeling and Uttarkashi. There are many mountaineers who has learnt their early mountain craft from him.
Another tradition was upheld when the British members of the Himalayan Club gathered in London on 27th April for the London Re-union which has been an annual event for decades. Bob Pettigrew, the honorary local secretary gave the lead and Sir Chris Bonington proposed the toast. Harish Kapadia, Hon. Editor of the Himalayan Journal was the speaker.
The Nanda Devi Sanctuary
The Nanda Devi Sanctuary has been in the news during the year. Last year a large Indo-Tibet police expedition had climbed the main peak of Nanda Devi by entering the Sanctuary. One climber died on their ascent. Immediately following them a British trekking group spent few days in the sanctuary. This year in 2001, President of the Indian Mountaineering Foundation, Mr. N. N. Vohra, took pains to organise an expedition to investigate whether the Sanctuary should be opened for mountaineers, trekkers and researchers. It may be recalled that the Nanda Devi Sanctuary is closed since 1983. Local villagers are also not allowed to enter the Sanctuary for traditional grazing rights. The team from the Indian Mountaineering Foundation was cleared by the Ministry of Environment and Forest, Chief Wildlife Warden, and the Government of Uttaranchal. This was required as per the law as the area is declared a National Park under the Act of Indian Parliament. This team studied the area and submitted a detailed report to the Indian Mountaineering Foundation which was forwarded to various departments in the Government. No final decision has yet been taken to open the Sanctuary for trekkers and mountaineers. But from the press report it appears, that a limited access to scientific expeditions may be allowed.
Following the IMF trekking team, a large expedition of the Indian Army entered the Sanctuary to clear the old garbage lying there from 1970s. They also reached the summit of Nanda Devi and Dunagiri peaks but no further details are available. It must be mentioned that at least two expeditions to the newly formed Uttaranchal State, and attempting peaks bordering the boundaries of the Nanda Devi Sanctuary faced serious permit problems locally. Generally, to climb the peaks on the walls of the Sanctuary from outside was permitted and many expeditions have made ascents in the past, like on Changabang from the north and Nanda Devi East peak from the eastern approaches. However the new states authorities stopped a Korean and an American expedition which were attempting Kalanka and Dunagiri respectively. After long delays, the Korean team had to change plans and attempt Nilkanth peak. Future expeditions to the Uttaranchal States (consisting of Garhwal and Kumaun regions) and particularly to the peaks on the rim of the Nanda Devi Sanctuary should be careful in accessing the situation when they apply.
Nun-Kun Peaks
Due to the troubles in the Kashmir state no expeditions were permitted to popular peaks of Nun and Kun during the year. Similarly, no climbing has been allowed in the entire are of Kishtwar. Both these areas of southern Zanskar and Kishtwar have been affected by terrorism in Kashmir.
Arganglas Valley
A major International expedition climbed in the Arganglas valley in the areas near the Siachen Glacier. The team consisting of 2 British, 2 American and 4 Indian mountaineers explored an vast unknown area and made several first ascents. Arganglas is an area where perhaps largest number of unclimbed exists. The two American mountaineers, Mark Richey and Mark Wilford climbed a challenging route on the peak Yamandaka (6218 m), the most challenging climb in the Indian Himalaya during the year, if not in a few years.
Tirsuli West Peak
One of the major climb was the reported first ascent of Tirsuli West, one of the last unclimbed 7000m virgin peaks in Garhwal. The expedition was from the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering, Uttarkashi and was led by its vice-principal Major K. S. Dhami. The Institute has now been at the forefront of training mountaineers in India and its instructors have made some major ascents on various expeditions.
During the year expeditions visited several areas in the Indian Himalaya. There were no major expeditions to Sikkim, Kishtwar and Zanskar. Out of 138 expeditions, 60 were to routine peaks which are not covered here as listed below. Out of these 19 were foreign expeditions and 41 from India.
The Indian Mountaineering Foundation
During the year in November 2001, elections for the President and the Governing Councils for the Indian Mountaineering Foundation were held in New Delhi. The current President, Shri N. N. Vohra was elected unanimously for the two year term. 12 other members were elected and Shri H. C. S. Rawat and Ms. Rita Marwah were appointed Vice-Presidents of the Foundation. Shri N. N. Vohra is an experienced bureaucrat and a senior official, who has served in the various high capacities with the Government of India. With his knowledge of the functioning of the Government he has been instrumental in solving various matters and to get help to promote mountaineering in the country. With Mr. Vohra at the helm of affairs the Indian Mountaineering would be in safe hands.
Major Expeditions In The Indian Himalaya In 2001
Gangotri glacier area:
Shivling (6543 m)
(A.) Expedition : French/Brazilian Leader : Ratouis Emmanuel (3 members) Period : April May
This was an expedition consisting of climbing guides from the French Alps. They climbed the west ridge of Shivling in 20 hours from the base camp. All four climbers reached the summit. The leader, Emmanuel made a ski-descent, completing a wonderful climb and descent. The other summiteers were; Marchand Severin and Razel Jean Claude.
(B) Expedition Swedish Leader : Krister Jonsson (3 members) Period : May June.
Though the expedition suffered from bad weather, they managed to make an excellent accent on the west ridge to summit of this difficult peak. 2 members reached the summit starting on the 3rd June and reaching the top on the 5th in a 3 day push. Summiteers were Magnus Eriksson and Christian Edelstam. Later, on 9th and 10th June, in 2 days, the leader made a fast solo ascent to the summit. All the ascents were made via the west ridge.
( C ) Expedition German Leader : Bogdan Brakus (11 members) Period : May
This experienced team climbed to the summit by the west ridge. They established advanced base camp at 4850m, Camp I and 5100m and Camp II at 5850m and from there all the climbs were made. According to the expedition, the climb was very serious and they had to undertake climbing on vertical seracs of 75 m. at height of above 6000m.
On 23rd May, 2 members reached the summit, they were Beand Tritsches and Johann Hirschbichles. On 24th May, the leader with Michael Schoff and Karl Eisenberges reached the summit. While on 25th May, 2 members reached the top. They were Jorg Hanel and Christian Mqurchqer. This was a quick climb by a very experienced team.
Meru Central (6450 m)
Expedition : Russian Leader : Valeri Babanov and Zdanovitch Igor (2 member team) Period: September
This strong team attempted Shark's Fin on the north face of Meru Central. They made a base camp at 4300m and advanced base camp at 4900m. This is a technically difficult route and they faced several rock falls, avalanches and continuous bad weather. Finally on 22nd September, the leader reached the summit in a big push.
This was their second attempt on the peak this year. Earlier, the same team had attempted the same route in April-May. But had failed to proceed beyond 5850m. Their dedication later in the year paid dividends.
A jury, presided over by Sir Chris Bonington, awarded GHM's Piolet d'Or award to this expedition for the outstanding climb in 2001.
Meru (6261 m)
Expedition : American Leader : Peter Takeda (3 members) Period : May-June
Expedition had multiple aims in the Gangotri area. First they attempted Meru which they failed to climb due to technical difficulties. Two camps were made up to 6000m. As a consolation, later they climbed Kedar Dome reaching the summit on 14th May. The summiteers were Charles Bird, Jonathan Degenhardt, Mahesh Dixit (LO) and Arvind Bist (LO of nearby expedition).
Meru North Peak (6450 m)
Expedition : Japanese Leader : Hiroyoshi Manome (3 members) Period : September-October
This small expedition from Japan was attempting the northeast face and the north pillar route. They established camps and reached 6050m. Several falling stones and objective dangers were experienced. However, an avalanche destroyed the cache of their equipment rolling down all the plastic boots. The attempt had to be given up.
Meru South (6660 m)
Expedition : Spanish Leader : Jordi Coromings (6 members) Period : September-October
The expedition established various camps by 17th September. Advanced base camp was at 4900m and the final Camp 3 was at 5900 m. From this camp the first attempt was made between 30th September to 2nd October reaching up to 6100m, while the second attempt on 6th & 7th October reached 6400m. They encountered serious danger from falling stones and gave up the climb.
Bhagirathi III (6454 m)
Expedition : German Leader : Walter Holzler (3 members) Period : April-May
The expedition had the intention of attempting the southwest pillar. They made a base camp at 4450 m at Nandanvan and Camp 1 at 5000 m. However, continuous bad weather and snowfall made the peak rather dangerous and the route almost impossible to attempt. They gave up the climb.
Manda I (6511 m)
Expedition :Korean Leader :Hyoung Duk Kim (2 members) Period :September

Central Garhwal
Tirsuli West (7035m) and Shambu ka kila (6160m)
(A) Expedition : British Leader : Colin R. Knowles (6 members) Period : April May
The 8 member team reached the base camp via Malari and going up a subsidiary gully of Kunti Bhannar. They then proceeded south along Shepherd Pass to make a base camp at 3600m on the Siruanch glacier. After observations of the route, Tirsuli West was not attempted as they found excessive objective danger on the face from a hanging glacier. So they turned their attention to peak 6160m, 5 km north of Tirsuli West. They followed the southwest face and reached the summit on 16th May. The summiteers along with leader were Ms. Benham Angela, Arnison Roland, Drinkwater Christopher, Philips Andren and T. Kajannagh. This peak was named as Shambhu-ka-Killa (Fort of Lord Shiva).
This expedition also had problems with the new formed Uttaranchal State Government despite the clearances obtained from the Indian Mountaineering Foundation, they had difficulties in approaching the mountain.
(B) Expedition : German Leader : Ralf Messbacher (7 members) Period : May
The expedition reached the base of this unclimbed peak and traversed smaller peaks up to 6320m while trying to reach the west ridge of Tirsuli West. However, the peak was not attempted beyond this because of continuing bad weather, avalanche and loose rock danger. The expedition generally suffered from rather poor weather.
Nanda Ghunti (6390 m) from both sides
This British expedition was led by Martin Moran with 6 members. They climbed in May June. Martin Moran has been a consistent visitor to the Indian Himalaya and almost every year he has made noteworthy ascents and explorations in the range.
The present expedition had the original intention of attempting Trisul. But this was given up due to continuous bad weather.
On 19th May, the recce of the route on Nanda Ghunti was undertaken and Camp I was established at 5400 m, on 25th May. Andrew Nisbet and Mike Brennan climbed Nanda Ghunti on 2nd June, via the south face a new route. This route is steep but follows directly to the summit. They climbed a curving couloir between two pinnacles (50-55 deg. angle) to gain the upper slopes. They graded the climb as AD+.
The summit of Nanda Ghunti was also climbed via the north ridge the normal route, on 2nd of June, same day as the other team. The leader with Tom Rankin, Ian Lee Bapty, Des Winterbone and H. Singh (HAP) reached the summit. This is a long strenuous approach from Hom Kund over Ronti Saddle which has a big cornice on its north side. Apart from reaching Hom Kund at 4650 m, it has the start of 50 deg. steepness on the north ridge. The rest of the route is easy.
Lampak South (6181 m)
Expedition :Indian Leader :Swaraj Ghosh (7 members) Period :August September
Lampak group of peaks stand on the Lampak glacier near Joshimath. Not many expeditions attempt these peaks. This team from Howrah, West Bengal climbed Lampak South (or Lampak II). The summiteers were Swaraj Ghosh, Anal Das, Sibrata Banerjee, B. Biswas, N. P. Rao, Gautam Chatterjee and B. Jetty.
Nilkanth (6596 m)
(A) Expedition :Japanese Leader :Daisuke Narumi (4 members) Period :September The expedition intended to attempt the north face via the west ridge. They tried to overcome a dangerous icefall on the north face. However, many avalanches stopped their progress. One member was sick and hence they called off the expedition.
(B) Expedition :Korean Leader :Ja Eok Gook (7 members) Period :August
The expedition originally intended to attempt Dunagiri, which is on the outer walls of the Nanda Devi Sanctuary. They proceeded with full clearance going towards this peak. However, they were denied permission locally from the state of Uttaranchal. They had to change their objective at the last minute to attempt Nilkanth. They set up Camp II, but due to stone fall, avalanches and crevasses, the attempt was called off. Their heart was certainly not in it.
(C) Expedition :Slovania Leader & Members: Marco Prezelj, Matija Jost, and Dr. Zarko Guzej Period :October
A strong Slovanian expedition was the only team which successfully climbed Nilkanth this year. They climbed the summit via the west ridge on 14th October and they had an excellent spell of weather all throughout. They approached the summit from Hanuman Chatti, Baenakuli along the Khirao Ganga to Panpatia glacier in the north.
Kalanka (6553 m)
Expedition :American Leader & Member: Carlos Buhlar and John Roberts Period :September
This expedition too faced problems of clearances and delay from Uttaranchal State Government locally. This peak is situated on the rim of the Nanda Devi Sanctuary and they were to attempt from outside the sanctuary. They approached the mountain along the Bagini glacier planning to attempt the stupendous north face. They were delayed due to the bureaucratic hassles. Finally, they made a recce on 11th September and established Camp 1 at 5660 m. However no attempt was made on the wall and the team also faced problems of acclimatization due to rush tactics.
Kamet (7756 m)
(A) Expedition :Polish Leader :Jerzy Tillak (8 members) Period :July August
The expedition was attempting the west ridge and this was a team of strong climbers. They reached 7390m on 26th August having approached this peak from Gamsali and Niti. Among the higher camps, Camp IV was at 6600m and Camp V at 7120m. They encountered very high winds and loose powder snow which forced them to give up the climb.
(B) Expedition : Indian (Senior citizen expedition) Leader : Ashwini Kumar (67 years) Period : Sept. Oct.

However this expedition came from Jankar Sumdo in the east and followed the right flanking glacier from here. The peak is opposite the Gangstang glacier. The team was led by 71 year old leader. They attempted the summit on 8th August, reaching 5750 m. Unfortunately, on most of the other days the weather was bad and they faced constant danger of rock fall. The summit attempt was given up.
Gangstang (6162 m)
Expedition: Japanese Leader :Tsuneo Suzuki Period :August This well known peak was attempted by senior citizens from Japan in two different expeditions from two different directions. The above expedition attempted the south west ridge. They approached from Keylong via Biliang Nala and set up a base camp at 4650m. The leader was a veteran mountaineer, 65 years old, and the members was consisting of senior members which were between 66 and 72 years old, including two ladies over 64 years.The summit was climbed on 5th and 8th August, totally by 6 members with 2 Sherpas and other 4 high altitude porters.

The remote Pangong Range lies to the south of the famous Pangong Tso Lake and to the north of the Ladakh range, in Ladakh. This was a young team of soldiers from the crack 8 Mountain Division of the Indian Army. Base Camp was established on the Chushul- Tangtse axis.
On 21 Aug a base camp was set up at Tatsang Lungpa, (4900 m). Camp I was established at an altitude of 5560m, next to small glacial lake on 23 Aug . Camp II for the ascent of Kangju Kangri, was established on the lateral moraine of the Kangju Glacier, at an altitude of 6020m on 27 Aug 2001. For the ascent of Pt. 6580m, Camp II was shifted to an altitude of 6010m on 01 Sept on a different axis. The Camp was further shifted on 02 Sept, below the Shimdi la pass and established at an altitude of 5400m for the ascent of Kakstet Kangri and Pt. 6134m. Climbing as separate sub teams, as part of same expedition, the team made four ascents of Kangju Kangri 6725m, Unnamed Peak 6580m, Kakstet Kangri 6461m and Unnamed Peak 6134m.
18 members, including the leader crossed the 5630m high Shimdi la Pass and recorded the first known traverse of the range, finishing at the southern bank of the Pangong Tso. The expedition accomplished its objectives in excellent shape and form, all in a time frame of fifteen days.
Ramjak (6318 m)
Expedition : Indian Mountaineering Foundation Leader : Lt. Col. S. Upadhyay (9 members) Period : August
Ramjak is an unclimbed challenging mountain with sharp ice dome as the summit. The peak is located near Shingo la which is a popular trek route from Himachal to Zanskar. At least 3 expeditions have failed in the past on this peak and one Indian climber died on its slopes. The first to try the peak from the western approaches was a ladies team from Mumbai which attempted it in 1994 from the Bagrari glacier. In 1996 another team from Mumbai attempted the peak, where Dinesh Shertate died at 5400 m due to medical complications.
This year the Indian Mountaineering Foundation expedition reached the area in early August and trekked on the well known route from Darcha - Palamo and set up base camp little short of Chuminakpo at 4620m. After a recce, Camp 1 (4880 m) was set up besides a glacial stream running down from the glacier. Next three days were spent in recceing the place for Camp 2 which was ultimately set up on 11th August. On the 12th, they reached a rock wall and fixed ropes (400 m) through a gully and after surmounting the wall, at 5800 m they saw a long ridge running to the summit. However, the summit was too far for them and they were deterred by the terrain and the expedition retreated.
Chakula (6529 m)
Expedition :British Leader :Michael J. Ratty (5 members) Period :August
Michael Ratty has been attempting this peak for few years. This year they succeeded in making an ascent from south face on 13th August. Trevor Willis, Christopher Mothersdale reached the summit. Their LO was sick and had to be evacuated. This peak is situated in the Rupshu district and is one of the prominent high points in the area. It has religious significance and is situated near a monastery. The monastery had requested the expedition not to carry any meat on the mountain which they obliged.
The Arganglas International expedition 2001
A team of mountaineers from India (4), U.K.(2) and U.S.A.(2) climbed in the Nubra Valley of Ladakh. The area is situated near the Siachen Glacier in the East Karakoram. The team made the first ascents of three peaks, explored 5 glaciers and attempted two peaks. No mountaineering party had ever visited this area. A large number of peaks are located around these two glaciers which were photographed and recorded.
Leaders of the joint team were Sir Chris Bonington and Harish Kapadia. They had organised two expeditions jointly in the past in the Indian Himalaya. The Arganglas region near the Siachen glacier is home to the Argans, a community comprising the off-springs of Yarkandi or Kashmiri Muslims who used to frequent the trade routes to Central Asia, (a region that after Sept 11 has leaped back into the international spotlights) and the local Ladakhi women with whom they cohabited.
For armchair adventurers all around the world, sharing the joy of this expedition was just a click away. Pictures from a digital camera were being uploaded and latest information on the expedition was provided on www.bonington.com, thanks to Boningtons son Rupert who runs a multi-media company in the UK.
The Base camp was set up in a dry lake bed at the foot of the Phunangama Glacier (4800 m / 15,750 ft). Two advanced base camps were set up on the glacier. Teams then divided in smaller teams and operated as small independent parties from there. There is phenomenal potential here for alpine style climbing on peaks up to 6800 meters.
Abale (6360 m / 20,865 ft) and Amale (6312 m / 20,708 ft) and other Peaks : In between companionable bridge sessions, the other members had been occupied with their own climbs and explorations. Shroff and Muni along with Samgyal Sherpa climbed a virgin peak which they named as Abale (6360 m) (grand father) with its corniced summit in the Nono glacier just before the heavy snows and clouds came swirling in. Satyabrata Dam, a navy officer from Mumbai and the liaison officer Capt. Lingwal and Sherpa Wangchuk climbed another peak Amale (6312 m) (grand mother) The British climbers, Bonington and Jim Lowther were forced back because of bad weather from their attempt but reached an unknown pass Konto La.
First Ascent of peak Yamandaka (6218 m) by its North Face and descent by the Shingskam Topko : The hi-tech could not really minimise some of the risks, or the thrills of the unknown as the two Americans or two Marks -- Mark Richey and Mark Wilford discovered. They had a tough but successful climb of the North face of Yamandaka where they had to spend three nights perched on tiny ledges chopped into the ice with just enough room to try and sit or lie down.
From the day they arrived in BC below the Phunangma glacier, Mark Wilford and Mark Richey were at once captivated by the obvious and direct line on peak 6218 m s north face. The wall was estimated to be about 4000 ft high and a steep mix of rock and ice. On the 8th of Sept. two Marks crossed the Phunangma glacier and set camp at the base of the face beneath a huge boulder.
From Sept. 9th to the 12th Marks climbed over 20 pitches of 60 meters each of technical rock and ice on the face. All rock climbing was done with crampons in full winter conditions. A fair amount of direct aid was employed including 2 pendulums. They sack-hauled on most of the pitches and the second jumared with a heavy pack. Several sections of frighteningly loose, stacked blocks had to be negotiated. At one point, a television-sized rock, set loose by hand pressure, nearly severed the lead rope. The ice climbing was mainly confined to the initial four pitches of 45 degree snow and ice and then the final three pitches of water ice up to 70 degrees and including the final overhanging cornice. They braved snowfall on all days except the 11th and topped out in a full blizzard which dumped nearly a foot of snow. They made three bivouacs on the face, the first two were excellent platforms and they were able to erect a small tent. The final open bivouac on the face was a narrow ledge chopped into a 50 degree ice slope. Heavy spindrift during the night kept them from much sleep. They also spent one night just below the summit.
Due to the heavy snowfall their original plans of descent down the North East ridge to the Phunangma glacier seemed excessively dangerous. Instead, they opted for a descent down the South face of the mountain to a glacier system on the opposite side of the range. In fact, the gentle disarming glacier ultimately funneled its way down into a steep and terrifying gorge leading all the way to the Nubra valley. By the time they realized this, they were too exhausted to retrace path, already day 7 on 5 days of food. Finally, after ten hours of brutal descent, they stood atop a huge water fall longer than their rope. Beyond, the smooth canyon walls disappeared out of sight. Unwilling to make this final commitment, they searched for an escape. One side of the canyon presented a slight weakness. Wilford led up a wall of huge blocks literally cemented in place with mud. As Mark put it "It was the most frightening pitch I have ever climbed" Two more vertical pitches of rock and 500 ft of scrambling led them finally to the Canyon rim and their 7th night out in the Shingskam Topko Valley. The following morning, they descended to the Nubra valley where they met a very relieved porter sent down to look for them. That day expedition companions were ready to send out the search helicopter. Back at ABC, they had built a lovely temple and prayed for their safety. Argan Kangri (6789 m) the highest peak on the glacier and was one of the prime aims of the expedition. However bad weather and poor snow conditions did not allow an attempt on this peak till towards the last days of the expedition. The expedition also reached Konto La (5920 m / 19,422 ft) a col between Karpo Kangri (6540 m / 21,460 ft) and Pk. 6640 m at the eastern head of the Phunangma Glacier.
Explorations in the Rassa and Yah Glaciers : Harish Kapadia and S. Dam with three porters formed an independent team and to explored the above two glaciers in the area, containing a large number of unclimbed peaks. Later they traversed to west to enter the Yah Glacier which is near the shapely peak of Nya Kangri (6480 m / 21,260 ft). Covering ground on rocks and soft snow and across crevasses the steep pass, Yah La (5770 m / 18,930 ft), was reached on 23rd September but it was not possible to descend on the other side towards the Sumur Lungpa as intended. The party retraced route back to the Arganglas valley and joined the main team the next day.
To end, I cannot help narrating an anecdote that happened during my lecture in London at the Himalayan Club dinner last April. Sir Chris Bonington, proposing a toast, narrated how we enjoy on our joint expeditions. It is not only cheese and biscuits on our trips, we have Mr Gandhi supplying tasty Indian food and Mr Gandhi supplying Mumbai bhel and Mr Gandhi supplying dosas. He went on making mouth-watering mention of the local Gandhi Stores in Mumbai, who had supplied food to our expeditions efficiently.
After the dinner, an elderly lady came up to me and asked me in all seriousness, as I listened in amazement; By any chance, was Mahatma Gandhi a food supplier?

Following the success of our 'Designing for STEM' Program as part of the UMI piloting activities with the Creative Digital Media students and TY students in Loreto Secondary School Fermoy, we look forward to running a shorter two hour version of the workshop with TY students at the Sacred Heart Secondary School Clonakilty next week. The workshop will take place on Thursday March 8th from 11-1pm. Sarah is in contact with the teacher we will meet on the day. We will also run a version of the workshop as part of the CIT Innovation Week activities. We have 30 students from the Media Communications Department, Marketing and PR and Engineering Department taking part in this workshop.
Following the end of the local piloting stage of the UMI-Sci-Ed Project, our research team will arrange to sit down and discuss the positive and negative aspects of the pilots, what we should change, what can stay the same and how do we introduce more UMI technologies. We will need to develop a plan of engagement to ensure we maintain communication with the teachers and students from the schools names above and we will also want to connect with more schools to begin the development of broader pilots. We will also need to discuss how we are going to implement our third scenario, Workplace Learning. A meeting will take place the week of March 12 – 16th.


text: The Hawkeye White Bite Rich Patterson - October 04, 2010 It doesn't get much better than a summer afternoon on the lake tangling with hard-hitting, hard-fighting white bass. (July 2007) By Rich Patterson Photo by Ron Sinfelt.It was a perfect fishing Saturday. The sun was bright, and the air was cool. Coralville Reservoir's crappies would surely be hungry and husky this September day. I fish from a small rowboat, so I normally avoid Coralville and its legions of roaring powerboats. Some toss up wakes big enough to swamp my tiny boat, and they always make fishing frustrating. But this was a Hawkeye football afternoon, and I knew the vast bulk of speedboaters would be watching the game. I had the big lake nearly to myself that perfect fall afternoon, but there was a problem: I couldn't find the crappies! They weren't in their normal mid-autumn staging areas. All the honeyholes were empty. In desperation I switched to an old tactic taught me by my dad, also a rowboat angler. I rigged one rod with a simple hook and fathead minnow. The other rod had a medium weight twistertail jig. As I slowly rowed, they ran at different depths. From time to time I changed my rowing cadence to let the lines work different depths, and altered oar pulls to make the boat zigzag down the lake. Trolling this way made it likely that sooner or later at least one of my baits would pass in front of fish. It worked! A half-mile down the reservoir my rod arched as a husky fish bulled its way toward Iowa City. An alluring part of fishing the big reservoir is the mystery generated every time a fish hits. It could be one of many species; at the other end of my line could be a white or black crappie, largemouth, channel cat, relatively rare mooneye, or one of several other species. This fish was a bulldog fighter that bored down. It was obviously bigger than any crappie I'd pulled from the lake. I suspected a catfish until I was able to work it close to the boat and catch the silvery glint of its side reflecting the fall sun. Parallel lines on a white background could only mean two fish: a white bass or a wiper. The mystery was soon solved as I worked the 15-inch white bass close enough to hoist into the boat. White bass are one of the most mysterious of Iowa's commonly caught fish. They are not well known, and are usually unpredictable. Perhaps that's because they're one of our few pelagic fish. Bass, bluegills, crappies and even trout are homebodies, predictable; when not making seasonal movements from deep-water wintering areas to summer habitat, they stake out turf and stay there, so the big largemouth that lurks near a stump in May is likely to still be there two months later. Find the right structure, and you've found bass, crappies and many other species. Not so the wandering white bass and its huskier hybrid cousin, the wiper. Both are "pelagic," meaning that instead of relating to structure, they wander through the water column of big lakes and rivers, cruising, usually in schools, through hundreds of acres of water. Here today, gone tomorrow. Most well-known pelagic species such as salmon, tuna and bluefish roam the oceans. Voracious, and constantly on the move, they spend their lives trailing mammoth schools of minnows, eating as they swim. Powerful athletes, pelagic fish constantly exercise. You don't catch tuna, blues or salmon -- you battle them.Iowa lacks an ocean and the powerful pelagic game fish that live there, but we have white bass and wipers, close relatives of the powerful striped bass of both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Although smaller than the ocean swimmers, pound for pound white bass are just as powerful, and they're common in Iowa's large lakes and reservoirs and in its rivers. Not as common as white bass, wipers, a white bass/striper hybrid, also swim in some Iowa waters and can top 12 pounds! Their small cousin, the yellow bass, is also found in some Iowa waters. I'll never forget the first white bass I caught. Living in Kansas, I took an evening trip to Kanopolis Reservoir. As the sun dropped below the prairie behind me, fish churned the surface just beyond casting range. I could see silvery shad jumping into the air in a futile effort to avoid the massacre below; maddeningly, the school stayed just out of range of my light lures. But I had a secret weapon: Deep in my tackle box was a rarely used Kastmaster, a dense, heavy lure that'll outcast just about anything. It splashed into the school, and a bass immediately snapped it; minutes later a 3-pounder was in my hand. I caught a few more before the school moved beyond casting range."White bass are a hit-or-miss fish," said Iowa angler Dave Novak. "You don't catch any or you catch a bunch of them." Finding the school makes all the difference, and in an Iowa river or reservoir, that school could be a few feet or a few miles away.Steve Krotz, manager of the fishing department at Cedar Rapids GOT outdoors store, spends his life in only two places -- in the store talking with anglers or out on the water fishing."There's great white bass fishing in Lake Macbride, Pleasant Creek, Coralville, and the Iowa and Cedar Rivers, but not too many people fish for them," he said. "Probably because they're hard to find." Krotz has two secrets for finding these elusive fish. "The easiest way is to look for fish churning the surface as they feed on shad. Usually that happens in the last hour of daylight each evening, but on very hot days the fish tend to be more active when it's a little cooler just after dawn. You simply maneuver your boat near the school and cast. The other way is to troll. That can work anytime," he said.According to Krotz an electronic fishfinder can help locate these fish. "Watch the screen for the dark blob that indicates a school of small shad and get ready. White bass are likely there, too," he said.Sometimes getting into a school of white bass is a surprise. That happened to Pat Herron. "I was fishing for smallmouth bass in a big pool in Indian Creek just above the Cedar River. Suddenly the water was alive with fish as a school of white bass moved in. They were only about eight inches long but fought hard. I caught a bunch of them before they moved on," he said. White bass are generally a summer fish. They seem to vanish when it gets cold. "I have caught them just after ice out below the Coralville Reservoir tubes in the Iowa River but most productive fishing happens during the warm months," said Krotz. Iowa Department of Natural Resources fishery biologist Paul Sleeperis partially responsible for Eastern Iowa's good wiper and white bass fishing, having stocked adult white bass in Pleasant Creek Lake in 1992. Prolific at spawning, the species thrived to produce outstanding summer angling. Sleeper stocks wipers in Lake Macbride and Coralville. "We usually stock around 300,000 wiper fry that we get from Delaware into the two lakes. Last year I received 62,000 2-inch-long Nebraska wipers and split them between the two lakes. There are now several strong year classes in the lakes. I know of two 13-pounders caught last year. The bigger fish are harder to catch, probably because they are feeding on 5- to 7-inch long shad and don't pay much attention to the small crankbaits that so many anglers use," he said. According to the biologist there are no wipers in Pleasant Creek. In the other lakes telling one from the other can be challenging, but a fish over a couple of pounds is likely a wiper. White bass even perplex fishery biologists. Catfish, crappies, black bass, and trout have been extensively researched. Not so white bass. That, combined with the wandering habits of this fish makes it difficult even for biologists to help anglers predict where to find them. Like successful anglers, biologists recommend watching for schools of fish breaking water late in the evening. Interestingly the white bass is a true bass. Better-known largemouth and smallmouth bass are actually in the sunfish family. White bass have two close relatives -- the smaller yellow bass that sometimes stunt in Iowa lakes and degrade fishing and the massive striper that they resemble. Stripers don't live in Iowa, although many Hawkeye anglers mistakenly call white bass "stripers." Fish culturists created a cross, called the wiper that grows rapidly and can reach 13 or 14 pounds, about half way between the size of a white bass and a striper. While white bass readily reproduce wipers don't. Populations must be maintained by regular stocking. Big wipers are probably the fightingest game fish in Iowa, but they're not common. Because they don't reproduce, but do provide thrilling fishing, the IDNR currently plants them in Iowa's largest waters. These include Rathbun, Saylorville, Red Rock, and Coralville Reservoirs, Lakes Macbride and Manawa, and Pool 14 of the Upper Mississippi River.According to IDNR fishery research chief Don Bonneau, yellow bass, the smallest of Iowa's true bass, usually stunt when stocked in small ponds and lakes. White bass don't. About the only good Iowa yellow bass fishery is in Clear Lake. "This is the only Iowa lake where yellow bass consistently grow to a size acceptable to anglers," he said.Stunted yellow bass have degraded angling for all species in several Iowa lakes and aren't stocked anywhere. White bass and wipers never stunt. Another good thing about white bass is their abundance. There are big ones in many waters across Iowa. "White bass exist in all large reservoirs, the Upper Mississippi River and the chain of Iowa Great Lakes," continued Bonneau. An avid angler, the biologist feels some of the best white bass fishing is below the big reservoir dams. He feels slack water fishing is best in Red Rock, Saylorville, and Rathbun Reservoirs. "White bass populations are cyclical, somewhat like crappies. The species provides outstanding angling during high cycles. They're prolific, and angling has little impact on their population. No angler should feel guilty about keeping them," Bonneau continued. IDNR fisheries biologist Randy Schultz has sampled white bass in lakes as small as 100 acres but says they do best in very large bodies of water with high gizzard shad populations. "They are common in Iowa's natural lakes. Storm, North Twin, Blackhawk, Okoboji, Spirit, Minnewashta, Upper and Lower Gar and Clear Lake are good bets," he said. "Lake Manawa near Council Bluffs has an excellent wiper population, and Three Mile Lake in Union County is another good bet."Scott Gritters is an IDNR fishery biologist stationed on the Mississippi River, Iowa's largest body of water. "White bass are common on the big river," he said. "Our creel surveys show that they rank between the third and ninth most commonly caught fish. Any white bass over 16 inches is a good one, and the state record is a 20-inch fish that weighed 3 pounds, 14 ounces." Noting that he grew up near the Des Moines River near Pella, the biologist added, "I still fish white bass in the Red Rock tailwater and on the reservoir itself."Walleye tournament angler Dave Nichols is also a savvy white-bass fisherman. "This is one hard fighting fish. In the Mississippi River I've noticed that a school of white bass will drive bait into the rocks and then go into a feeding frenzy. The water is churning with white bass gorging on shad."Very often walleyes will follow and be down below the bass feasting on wounded bait."Once you find a school of white bass they're easy to catch. Cast any lure that imitates a shad, and these aggressive fish will attack it. Sometimes I put on a very heavy jig and hope it will quickly sink through the bass to the walleyes waiting below, but often a white bass will grab it before it gets far beneath the surface," he said.Biologist Gritters says gulls are often an indicator of white bass. They are a natural fish finder for any observant angler. "Schools work as a team to trap and confuse minnows. The bass churn the water. Gulls key in and pick up the injured minnows for supper," he said.With the exception of fishing smaller inland rivers when white bass move along shore, a boat is almost essential to find and approach schooling fish. "Anglers shouldn't approach too closely with the boat. A lot of motor activity will drive the school away, especially if they've been pressured," said Gritters.White bass schools can be hard to find, but once a school is located, the fish are remarkably easy to catch. Spinning equipment is ideal, especially a rod-and-reel rig that allows long casts. They'll attack any lure that even remotely resembles a gizzard shad. Dense, heavy lures like Kastmasters, or heavy leadhead jigs help reach a long ways into a distant school.Gritters likes using in-line spinners. If the fish refuse to take them, he switches to a floating silver Rapala. "Sometimes I loop the line around the front treble hook to keep the lure from diving at all. This makes it look like a wounded minnow on the surface," he said. In reality, nearly any silvery spoon or spinner will work. I prefer using spoons or leadhead jigs dressed with white twistertails or hair. A plain jig with a live minnow works great, but when bass are aggressively feeding, artificials are just as effective, and don't require rebaiting. Although biologists and seasoned anglers all agree that white bass are fun to catch, they don't agree on their food value. Some think they make good eating, but only if handled properly. "White bass make excellent eating if prepared right," said well-known South Dakota angler Tony Dean, who also fishes the Hawkeye State. "They don't freeze well, and are best if eaten when very fresh. Fresh white bass fillets that have had the red bloodline removed are as tasty as walleyes. Most people can't tell them apart."IDNR biologist Bonneau agreed. "This is a fish that grows fast and doesn't live very long. Anglers can't catch enough to deplete their numbers, and they are very good eating when properly prepared and eaten fresh," he said. Bonneau also recommends removing the red bloodline, which will be easily seen once you've skinned the fish. As midsummer's sultry heat hangs over Iowa, even bluegill fishing slows down. The hot season can make fishing for most species challenging, but it's the very best time for white bass. The formula for success is simple: Go to a large Iowa lake, reservoir, or river in the evening or early morning, look for fish churning the water under wheeling gulls, quietly motor over and cast a silvery or white lure into the baitfish massacre. Chances are good that you'll never experience more-exciting fishing. Get Your Fish On. Plan your next fishing and boating adventure here.

Kenneth Windsor joined 403 Squadron on April 15th, 1943. (Source 403 ORBs)
Thursday, 15 April, 1943
The weather was clear and bright. Rodeo 204: W/C Johnson led the Squadron which, with 416, acted as 4th Fighter Echelon, crossing into France at Bercks Mer at 25,000 feet. The Wing swept to port, being vectored by Special Control to the St. Omer area where it maneuvered to contact enemy aircraft, which were not sighted. There was neither flak nor enemy shipping sighted. The Wing came out West of Calais at 25,000 feet and in about Dover. Up at 1730 and down at 1850 hours. Sections:
Blue Section Red Section Yellow Section
F/L Magwood W/C Johnson F/L Godefroy
F/O MacKay P/O Dowding Sgt McGarrigle
F/O Fowlow F/O Cameron F/O Aitken
Sgt Brown F/O Wozniak
Thirteen sorties of local flying were made and two sorties went on patrol at Beachy Head. P/O P.K. Gray, W/O J.A. Wilson, F/S G.M. Shouldice and Sgt K.D. Windsor were all posted in for flying duties from 401 Squadron. F/L R.W. McNair, DFC, was posted supernumerary from 412 Squadron. He has a record of eight destroyed, five probable, eight damaged – mostly gained in the Middle East. Cpl S.W. Calvert, Armourer, was posted to the Squadron from 3 PRC Bournemouth.
He was shot down on June 20th.
Sunday, 20 June, 1943
It was sunny and bright today with approximately 3/10ths cloud. Circus 313: S/L Godefroy led the wing whose role was that of forward target support in the Abbeville – Amiens – Poix area while 12 Bostons were bombing the Poix aerodrome. The Wing crossed out at Rye and joined up with the Hornchurch Wing. They began climbing and crossed into France at Quand Plage at 12,000 feet, then flew to Abbeville and Amiens at 22,000 feet and Poix at 23,000 feet. Appledore Control then gave a vector of 010? and the Wing reached Aux-le-Chateaux at 24,000 feet. Yellow Section of 403 Squadron went down on three FW 190s that were 1,000 feet below and going in the opposite direction but were unable to engage them. Six FWs were seen by the Squadron and a further 12 were reported coming in behind the Wing at 24,000 feet. They were first reported as friendly but later were found to be FW 190s and the Wing turned to face them. 421 Squadron were engaged, and their CO, S/L R.W. McNair, DFC, fired at three e/as, two with no results and the other was shot down and destroyed. The Wing was now approaching Abbeville and was somewhat broken up. As the Wing Leader tried to reform the Wing, a further 50 FW 190s were seen coming towards Abbeville at 27,000 feet and this prevented the Wing from reforming. 403 was ordered to dive towards the Somme Estuary which they did but Blue Section had become separated. Near Aux-Le-Chateaux, Blue 1 had spotted a FW 190 making for Blue 4, Sgt Windsor, and ordered Blue Section to crank but Blue 4, Sgt Windsor, did not respond and was next seen with black smoke pouring from his aircraft as he had been hit. Later, while Blue Section was trying to reform, Blue 2, P/O Elliot, lost height on account of oxygen trouble and Blue 1 and 3 followed him as he dove. They lost sight of him in thin cloud and he wasn't seen again and is posted as missing. By this time, Blue 1 and 3 had lost the Squadron and so made for the coast. A gaggle of about 20 FWs were encountered and, after 1 FW was reported as being right beside them, Blue 1 ordered Blue 3 to break. Blue 3 merely did a gentle turn and was hit by the FW 190. He was later seen by Blue 1 to be in a spin with about eight FWs on his tail. This was the last seen of Blue 3 (P/O F.C. McWilliams) and he is reported as missing. South of Le Touquet Blue 1 out-turned the other FW 190s and crossed out at Hardelot. 421 Squadron did not formate on 403 Squadron but climbed up to 32,000 feet and crossed out at Cap Gris Nez and in at Dungeness at 5,000 feet. There was no flak reported and no shipping seen. The Sections were as follows:
Blue Section Red Section Yellow Section
F/L MacDonald S/L Godefroy F/O Marshall
P/O J.C. Elliot P/O Abbotts P/O Dowding P/O F.C. McWilliams F/O Fowlow P/O Ogilvie
Sgt K.D. Windsor WO Wilson Sgt Small

Ken Windsor's obituary
KENNETH DIGORY WINDSOR Kenneth, widow of Della, passed away peacefully, with his family by his side, at Grace General Hospital on Friday, February 1, 2008, at the age of 88 years. Kenneth was born on January, 3 1920, the son of Digory and Dorcas (Lovell) Windsor. Ken was eldest son of a large family, born in the rural town of La Riviere, Manitoba. As a young man he served as a Spitfire pilot of the Royal Canadian Air Force, Squadron 403, in England during the Second World War. While overseas, he met, and married, Della on December 3, 1942. On his return home after the war, he took up the position of salesman with Canada Packers Ltd., where he worked faithfully for nearly 40 years, until his retirement. As well, Ken was actively involved as a Chief Instructor with the Canadian Air Force cadets, #191 Squadron, in particular, as range officer, winning numerous awards. After retiring, Ken and his wife enjoyed many hours outside, spending the summers planting flowers, and reading in their gazebo. His numerous friends, and relatives will remember Ken, as a fair and compassionate man who had a genuine caring for the plight of others. Ken loved to interact with people and would easily converse with anyone who crossed his path. He also cherished his time spent hunting, fishing, and golfing with friends and family and had a real love and respect for nature. Ken will be sorely missed by his brothers, Mike (Crystal City) and Ivan (Winnipeg), as well as his children, David, Kenneth, Craig, Dale, and Kimberly, as well as cherished grandchildren, and great-grandchildren throughout Western Canada. Ken was predeceased by his loving wife Della, three brothers, (Clem, William, Jack), and three sisters (Mildred, Velma, Edna).

I love Pinot Noir, and Chile has so much to offer with so many different expressions of Pinot Noir from different valleys. Pinot Noir can be quite a difficult grape variety for winemakers both in the vineyard and in the winemaking process. All in all, Pinot Noir does best in cool climate areas as this maintains its delicate fruit structure and the important acidity to keep it well in balance.
The Casablanca valley is well known as one of the cooler valleys in Chile, and its from here I have chosen this week´s wine, from one of the smallest producers and one of the first to plan in the Casablanca valley, Villard Estate. In the Casablanca valley, while morning can be misty, during the afternoon, cool winds blow through the valley keeping the vines cool from the intense sun.
Today I tasted Villard Estate Expression Reserve Pinot Noir 2011, Casablanca Valley, Chile
Bright pale ruby red in colour with quite intense aromas and flavours of raspberries, red cherries, and some savoury notes of bacon, and a touch of spice. Lovely intensity of the fruit flavours, with soft and delicate tannins and ta refreshing.
This is a lovely wine to drink on its own or perhaps with some strong cheeses and cured meats, or more delicate meat dishes such as pork. Pinot Noir is really quite delicate, so you need to think of dishes that would not be too overpowering. Its still quite young, and you can choose to drink it now, or allow it to evolve a bit more during the next 5 years (if you can wait!)
Conclusion: A really nice example of Pinot Noir from the Casablanca valley and from a small producer giving you something different to try and explore.
Price: approx. 13 – 16 USD per bottle

A little color never hurt nobody!
This is an outfit that I wore to the Duvall Fashion show about two weeks ago. The compliments I received were a bit overwhelming because when it comes to my fashion, I'm my own biggest critic, but hey, if you like it, then I love it!
What's interesting about this outfit is that it's proof that you can take any dull item and turn them into something else. The shorts that you see above are actually pants that I tucked underneath to give them a more parachute, harem trousers effect.
I bought the pants from the thrift store for $1 and the colorful africanesque shirt from the thrift as well for another $1. The dark green cardiganesque sweater was a nice touch to the outfit and was bought for $3 at the thrift. I paired these with one of my favorite pairs of combat boots from Forever 21 that I brought for $49.
I love this outfit! what do you think?

As of June 3, Tracie Hittman Nutrition has its second intern! Emily Tachon will be interning with me until the end of August to complete her degree in Community Health Education.
Emily is in her last semester at UW – La Crosse. In order to complete her Community Health Education degree she needs to fulfill a preceptorship (internship) with a cooperating preceptorship site. Emily chose Tracie Hittman Nutrition due to her interest and passion for nutrition and likes the holistic approach toward nutrition and wellness.
Emily grew up in the country outside of Belleville, WI and likes to drive her dad's gator around her parents' property. Emily describes herself as easy-going, fun and a people person. Emily has thought about different career paths from Nursing to Exercise Sport Science but decided on Community Health Education because of the broad base of health education and the ability to work with a diverse group of people. Emily enjoys educating individuals on how to live a long and healthy life that includes diet and exercise. Emily enjoys playing with her two dogs, Tracker and Bandit, hanging out with friends and running. Emily also likes to spend time with her family and play with her two nieces.
Along with interning with Tracie Hittman Nutrition, Emily is an ACE certified personal trainer and will be doing part of her preceptorship with CORE Health and Fitness. She is excited to get experience in both the nutrition and exercise fields.
During Emily's experience with me, we will be working on new programming for upcoming classes and new videos! Emily is thrilled to put her education into practice with both Tracie Hittman Nutrition and CORE Health and Fitness.
