Mad about Madagascar
David Attenborough loves its exuberant wildlife, but this island in the Indian ocean has much more besides lemurs to offer, reveals Kate Eshelby
Wednesday 09 February 2011
Madagascar wears an unexpected coat: like its many chameleons it constantly changes its appearance from African to Asian. Waves of rice paddies and primary-coloured pousse-pousse (hand-pulled rickshaws) masquerade as Asia but the copper-red soil reminds you that this enormous island once belonged to a very different continent.
Sir David Attenborough returns to this extraordinary country in a new BBC series starting tonight. It's a place that has long fascinated naturalists – not least because of all those chameleons (it's home to about half of the world's species). It is also home to that strange family of primates, the lemurs, which can be found here – and only here. The lemurs are old-world primates, animals that died out everywhere on the globe except for Madagascar, a chunk of land which floated away from would-be predators millions of years ago. But lemurs are far from Madagascar's only claim on the attention of visitors.
Antananarivo, Madagascar's capital, is unlike any other African city. Ripened green rice-paddies lap at the ring of hills around the city. Church spires sprout from the hilltops and bright Creole houses peep down. Vintage French cars (Madagascar was formerly a French colony) zip along steep cobbled roads. And red-brick farmhouses, reminiscent of rural France, sit on islands in the middle of paddy fields, where buffalo wade in the water and rickety rowing boats float.
One of the city's finest sights is the flight of long steep stairs leading to Avenue de l'Indepéndence, along which market sellers demand a moment of your time. "Buy vanilla?" one lady offered, thrusting armfuls of pods towards me. The smell was delicious: pungent and sweet. Here vanilla sells at a fraction of the price it fetches in the UK. Other vendors had big bunches of flowers, cinnamon and baskets of locally grown lychees for sale.
I was staying at a delightful guesthouse called la Varangue, near the President's Palace. It felt a little like boarding in the home of a likeable aunt. The rooms were full of collections of oil lamps, antique irons, copper kettles, gramophones and coffee grinders. The scent of chocolate permeated the hallway. The chef here is known for his scrumptious chocolate sculptures, and the food was world-class and exquisitely presented.
From the capital, my guide Rako drove westwards along the RN7. To see this vast island in all its glory, this impressive road is the ideal conduit. It crosses the backbone of the country, and is Madagascar's version of Route 66. Both highways pass frontier cowboy towns, prairies, desert, canyons and giant rock boulders, before ending at the beach. But Madagascar's beach has crazy-looking baobab trees, and Madagascar's road is mellow to drive, with each twist revealing a new colour.
We passed hills cocooning villages and families travelling in wooden carts pulled by humped zebu cows. Antsirabe was one of the first towns we encountered: here, there was an almost constant pitter-patter of fast-moving bare feet as men darted around pulling passengers in pousse-pousse. Everyone rides these rickshaws, from school children to a nun I saw climbing aboard in full headdress.
From Antsirabe, the RN7 runs out of the hills and dips into thick rainforest: much of it formed by Ranomafana National Park. Here, I stayed in a bright and airy room at Setam Lodge. That evening the light and views over the forest were ravishing; I walked through the neighbouring village, fringed with rice paddies, past a gleaming river glittering with sunlight.
Mist whispered from the trees in the morning, and a walk up a steep trail rewarded me with my first glimpse of lemurs. Before humans arrived on the island, there were lemurs as large as gorillas here. Smaller, red-bellied versions flashed through the forest, their long tails flying out as they performed gravity-defying leaps. Rare golden bamboo lemurs also inhabit these forests – and I was lucky enough to see one close up. He sat just metres away, eating bamboo. The way he clutched the stem and tore off outer sections with his long fingers looked just like a human eating sugar cane.
Walking on, I passed a German lady in Wellington boots, who had been living in the park for a year researching frogs. 'There are so many species here, and many more still remain undiscovered," she said excitedly. "But the tragedy of Madagascar is how quickly the primary forest is being destroyed." Because of tavy, a traditional (but illegal) slash-and-burn technique, much of Madagascar's forest is set alight annually for planting rice. Deforestation is a major problem here.
Back on the road, men wearing straw hats wandered along with enormous herds of zebu. They were heading for Ambalavao, which holds the country's biggest weekly zebu market. It's held on a plateau on the outskirts of the town, surrounded by mountains. Ambalavao itself was beautiful, with plenty of old gabled houses and wooden carved balconies.
Then the road twisted into southern Madagascar, which is hot, dry and desert-like. Here Isalo National Park unfolds its space and savannah, like Madagascar's own Arizona. I stayed at Jardin du Roy, which lies inside the park. It is sunk into a basin of rocks and is impressively camouflaged. The simplicity of its exterior is almost monastic, yet this hides chic and luxurious interiors.
Beyond the hotel there are miles of park. Water cascades from the jungle above and bright light skips across the rocky overhangs. These grottos and jungles are isolated within steep canyons; stumbling upon them is like finding your own enchanted world. Above, the landscape is straight out of a Western. After a day of walking I sat up on one of the rock plateaus to admire the panoramic surroundings. As evening fell, the sky turned red and the yellow sandstone flashed bright gold.
And then Rako drove onwards to my final destination, the coast. Here I stayed at Ifaty in Le Paradisier, a small hotel with individual thatched cottages spaced out along the beach and an infinity pool that seemed to end in the sea. Each morning pirogues like pond skaters would glide by, and women would come to collect cockles from the beach. Behind the long stretches of deserted beaches were groves of baobabs, their distinctively squat silhouette like no other tree. They are topsy-turvy, with fat trunks topped by a frenzy of branches. Another oddity, in this most peculiar land.
'Madagascar', narrated by David Attenborough, starts tonight at 8pm on BBC2.

Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish physician and author best known for his Sherlock Holmes detective stories.
Review quote
* First Rate The Times Educational Supplement * It is especially appropriate that the man who played Sherlock Holmes' chronicler in the popular series narrates these tales on audio. Hardwicke's reading is subdued, but clear and precise. The Strand Magazine * You should listen to these wonderfully atmospheric pieces...Edward Hardwicke has the perfect voice for this: resonant, old-fashioned, precise - everyone's idea of a Victorian gent.

Our friend had to go to work and asked us if we would entertain Joslyn. She wanted to find some company for her sexy redhead friend.

Even before we made it to the house she was already sucking him off in the car and whipping out her huge tits. It did not take much hunting to make this one happen.

Charlie Villanueva Criticizes Detroit Pistons' Lack Of Readiness
When the Detroit Pistons play a good team on the road, they almost always lose.
Case-in-point: a 114-75 loss Sunday night to the San Antonio Spurs, who were playing without Tony Parker.
It's almost like the Pistons go into these games waving the white flag ahead of time.
"We didn't really come to play today," said Charlie Villanueva. "This is the best team in the league, and especially the fact that we beat them the way we did back in Michigan. We knew they were going to come ready to play and they're the best team for a reason. We didn't come ready to play."
That seems to be a trademark for the Pistons, who are 8-21 on the road. Villanueva, who has had some strong games in recent weeks, had modest success in 25 minutes of action against the Spurs Sunday night. He was 4-of-11 for 10 points and had 10 rebounds.
But the Pistons shot horribly – 28-of-66 from the floor for 32.6 percent. Not being ready to play, especially on the road, seems to be a theme in recent weeks for the Pistons. They're hoping a return home will help. But eventually, they'll go back on the road. Will they be ready? Don't count on it.
Villanueva continues to get his chance to show the Pistons that he deserves to be around for a fifth season with the team. He was signed to a huge free agent contract four years ago, and has fallen short of expectations. In the second half of the season, he has seen more action and frequently has had some good performances.
But, the jury is still out on if Villanueva should stay another year with the franchise.

Weak Mid-Atlantic Disturbance Turns Into Named Storm
After a brief increase in development chances yesterday from the NHC, it seemed as if the subtropics were going to be dormant for at least a few more days. And then development chances shot up this morning, and then Tropical Storm Claudette was born this afternoon. This was well forecast by the mesoscale models whether Claudette wanted to be late to the party or not as far back as 48 hours ago. The system evolved over North Carolina as a frontal system with a slight dip in central pressure on Saturday evening. Since then, the system went over the loop current with 80°F+ water surface temperatures. Fronts dissolved overnight and a tropical cyclone…with 50 mph was born.
It wasn't too much of a surprise that this system had winds of 45-50 mph. The mesoscale models had a weak tropical storm while the system was over the eastern US. Even the global models had a weak reflection of a warm-cored system with a closed center. HRRR notably had development and/or intensification pegged by yesterday afternoon. The below ASCAT imagery from this morning confirmed that thought process. Because of the small spatial size of this system, it is no shock that the smaller scale models did better this time around when compared to the global models.
Current Information:
- Winds: 50 mph
- Pressure: 1004 mb
- Movement: NE at 17 mph
The good news for eastern Canada is that Claudette is quickly moving into an area of strong and intensifying shear. Combined with considerably cooler water, this tropical storm will become post-tropical by Wednesday at the latest. Satellite imagery is already showing an exposed center. Claudette is expected to continue to accelerate toward the northeast and toward the eastern end of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.
Even as this system is quickly removed from our memory as a short-lived tropical system by midweek, it does bring up a good point for what will likely be a season of non-MDR/non-deep tropics type systems. With the large convective squall line crossing the Midwest and central Appalachians today, one has to think that these continental systems may be a decent source of (sub)tropical systems this year. At the very least, there is a cool front coming down the Appalachians this week with embedded shortwaves/energy that should be watched for both severe weather and maybe even tropical weather. In fact, this system ends up in exactly the same spot in 84 Hours. Obviously this time it looks frontal however.
It will be interesting to see how far south that front comes. Some indications show that this front could come as far south as south Georgia with increasing weekend rain chances and decreasing temperatures for Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas. Getting into that new phase will probably result in more severe pulse-type systems than normal.
Current Squall Line in the US
More than 500 reports have been recorded at the SPC between yesterday and today[below] from central Minnesota to North Carolina. These reports will probably continue into the Carolinas and much of the southeast through Wednesday. The moderate risk continues into the overnight hours in a secondary line well to the northwest, close to the location where the current squall line began.

The Atlantic is Clear, But The Tropics are Very Active Out West
The second month of the hurricane season continues to be inactive in the Atlantic, but July is shaping up as a very active month for the western two-thirds of the Pacific. It has been more than two weeks since Tropical Storm Bill crossed the United States. The Atlantic seems to have collected every piece of meteorological calmness it can: high vertical wind shear, basin-wide dry air, and some cooler waters in the development region. There is a large contrast in the Pacific Ocean where three tropical cyclones are already crossing the basin and one disturbance may have some impacts on Hawaii in the next week. I'll get to that forecast, but first I want to start in the Atlantic.
On the water vapor image above there are a few things to note (in no particular order):
- There are two upper level lows, one north of the Turks and Caicos and the other in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. These are well developed, and they both keep a lid on tropical development. Both ULL are expected to crawl west of west-southwestward over the next few days. Both will slide unfavorable dry and sheared air into the Gulf, Western Atlantic, and Caribbean.
- The jet is anticipated to lay across the Caribbean this week with 100 kt of shear. You can see the effects of a currently much weaker shear just east of the Lesser Antilles, but much stronger high level winds (30-40 kt at 100-200mb) are currently in place. Some divergence is assisting this activity.
- Extended Saharan air layer and otherwise dry air across the basin. This is visible on the loop above in the reddish-brown color. Large plumes of this dry air are coming from Africa and continue to travel across the Atlantic with tropical waves and the ULL. You can see the extent of the dust in the modeled image below. Even the thinner, or blue/light purple, dust can be seen in the skies above the Caribbean and Gulf coasts as a haze.Sunsets and sunrises are likely red in the heartland of the US where this dust is mixing with smoke from fires in Canada. The more thick the dust layer is the more detrimental that layer is to tropical cyclones
It is pretty obvious that tropical cyclone activity will remain low through at least five days , and probably through 10 days. The NHC agrees with this sentiment. A secondary source for development may be the MCS train that has been traveling toward the east coast through the southeastern US. The waters in the Gulf of Mexico are very warm and supportive for development should atmospheric conditions get more favorable.
The Active Pacific
Counting below from China eastward there are three tropical cyclones: TS Linfa, Typhoon Chan-Hom, and Typhoon Nangka. All three are forecast or are currently causing troubles from the islands of the western Pacific and/or the Chinese mainland. The typhoons are both expected to intensify as the move west-northwestward. Nangka is expected to cross waters to the north of Guam midweek.
Much farther east, the central pacific hurricane center will likely be busier toward midweek as well. Move two blobs southeast of the Hawaiian chain and you can see an organizing invest 96E. That system currently has a high chance of development. Current forecast models bring this system to the north of the islands toward the end of the week as a minimal tropical storm. Slow development is expected with 96E. The next name on the CPHC name list is "Ela".
Long Term Signals (and Geek Signals):
Note: If you have no knowledge of atmospheric waves, read this recent blog post by the National Hurricane Center first: https://noaanhc.wordpress.com/2015/06/25/the-ups-and-downs-of-predicting-tropical-cyclone-formation-the-role-of-atmospheric-waves/
The long term wave signals that climatologist and meteorologists like to use for long term forecasts are very supportive for Pacific activity through this week, but fall flat as the signal is investigated farther east. Below are the Madden-Julian Oscillation from the GFS and Euro Ensembles. Note that the signals are opposite in propagation direction, but the end result is a nearly muted (within the center circle) for favorability in any basin. For the Atlantic we want to see the signal in the left side of the diagram. For Pacific cyclones, we want to see the signal in the upper part of the diagram. Note that the distance from the center of the diagram is a direct representation of the favorability of the MJO signal. Looking at the diagrams, they both show very favorable signals for the western Pacific. We have three tropical cyclones there now. If the GFS is correct, activity will be increased slightly toward Oceania closer to July 20th, but if the Euro ensembles are correct then the eastern Pacific may see a slight increase in activity next week. The Atlantic shouldn't seek much of any help from this signal.
The Kelvin wave forecast shows a slight increase in activity for the eastern Pacific and western Atlantic basins during the middle of the month. Important: These global waves are only creditable for general trends in tropical activity. The Atlantic will have to moisten and shear will have to lessen before any substantial activity can occur. My current forecast is for no tropical activity through July 15th with a fairly high confidence.
More updates as always on twitter @JonathanBelles,
Stay safe,
Tropical Storm Bill: Cross Country Rain Maker
The second tropical storm of the 2015 Atlantic Hurricane Season will likely be known as the second drought buster that did more harm than good, and then kept going. Just about two weeks ago, a previously upper level system moved into central Gulf of Mexico from the far western Caribbean and had worked its way down to the surface with tropical storm force winds. Even as a warm-colored blob on the hurricanes.gov webpage, scatterometry wind analyses showed that tropical storm force winds expanded into a sizable portion of the Gulf. The eastern semicircle of 91L was very much like a tropical storm with the aforementioned winds and plentiful convection. It took numerous hurricane hunter flights in order to close off a closed low, which didn't happen until June 15th.
Note: This post may contain some opinions, and these are my opinions alone. They do not reflect the opinion of any government, public or private agency.
Leading up to this nearly late classification, there were some wranglings on social media about the social science applications of the definition of a tropical cyclone. In this instance, the "closed surface wind circulation about a well-defined center" (NHC) was deemed by many as being in the way of offering tropical storm advisories onshore and marine areas. Coastal flood warnings, gale warnings, and flood watches were replaced in part by tropical storm warnings upon formation 155 miles SSE of Galveston, TX. This is sort of the reverse of the Hurricane Sandy situation. NHC continues to work on these policies, and we should see changes in the next couple of years.
Gulf system exemplifies why we're developing future option to issue TC forecasts and warnings before TC formation. http://t.co/azRExr1JZe
— Dr. Rick Knabb (@NHCDirector) June 15, 2015
Even while we were pretending that this was a tropical storm without a name, the forecast for this system was well done with the exception of one slight westward jog as named Tropical Storm Bill approached the coast around midday on June 16th. These jogs are pretty hard to forecast. The two driving points during this tropical system's approach was the flood potential and potential for Bill to go well inland as a tropical cyclone. Satellite imagery below showed that Bill had a characteristic strong feeder band on the eastern and southern sides. That band also reignited with severe weather and other convective activity as it approached the mid-Atlantic.
Bill's Bath in Texas
Flood watches of a few flavors were issued in the days leading up to landfall. As Bill made landfall on Matagorda Island just before noon, a strong feeder band set up shop in extent from just west of Houston to southeast of Corpus Christi mainly offshore. As advised by the WPC's final advisory, the top ten rainfall amounts from Bill were:
- 12.53″ in Healdton, OK
- 12.50″ in Montague, TX
- 11.77″ in Ganado, TX
- 11.52″ in Newport, OK
- 10.09″ in Burneyville, OK
- 9.51″ in Kirbyville, TX
- 9.17″ in Sealy, TX
- 9.03″ at Alice Int'l Airport, TX
- 8.63″ in Sulphur, OK
- 8.57″ in El Campo, TX
Rainfall amounts of 4″ or more fell in 8 states.
Water rose roughly 3 feet above normal as Bill came ashore at Port Lavaca, TX according to the landfall notice. Two deaths in the United States are at least indirectly attributed to flood waters including a two-year old boy and an 80-year-old woman. Both deaths were in Oklahoma. The woman may have tried to drive through flood waters which, in combination with a very wet May, were caused by Bill. Source: http://bigstory.ap.org/article/0a20616725b9472393a01026e1ffb05f/midwest-braces-remnants-bill-texas-spared-worst
The Long Tracker
As a tropical cyclone, Bill tracked across six states and affected more than a dozen additional states. It's final track point as a tropical depression lies in Kentucky, roughly 550 miles from the Gulf of Mexico and more than 950 miles away from its initial landfall point! If you wanted a really good drinking game about a week ago, I would have kindly suggested that you drank every time the words "brown ocean" were tweeted by scientists. This philosophy is the thought that saturated ground could be somewhat favorable for development or at least uninhibitive to tropical cyclones. The theory says that saturated ground and provide both a heat and a humidity source that inland tropical cyclones typically lose as they move inland. You can see this theory in play in Tropical Storm Fay (2008) over Florida and Tropical Storm Erin (2007) over Oklahoma. Models did a decent job at pegging the steady nature of the strength of this system through the southern Plains and into the Ohio Valley. There were two distinct pressure drops well inland possibly due to this process. One of the these pressure drops occurred as Bill approached the Red River. The OK Mesonet data is below:
As Bill moved across the Mississippi River, it became truly just a rainmaker for most. It not only helped relieve drought in the southern Plains, whether they needed it or not, Bill also helped relieve drought in the southern Midwest. Bill had at least one more trick up its sleeve as it crossed the country. Along with the flood warnings that followed Bill to the east coast, there was enough energy in front of Bill to re-energize the characteristic stronger eastern semi-circle. Although not entirely due to Bill, the mid-Atlantic and mid-Appalachians saw more than 250 severe wind reports on June 20th into the morning of the 21st. These reports, below in verification of the SPC outlook, also saw a few reports of tornadoes and hail.
You can see the eastern side of the remnants of Bill explode as it approaches the east coast and then decay as it moves into the northern Atlantic on the below NASA satellite imagery. Baltimore, Washington, and Richmond all had severe weather warnings of one kind or another. You can also see how clear the rest of the tropics were (and remain) and how much stronger the Mesoscale Convective System was in comparison to this named system. This loop reminds us that a name is not necessarily a sign of strength, especially during the spring in comparison to the plains severe storms.
Remembering Bill
Just like Erin and Fay, Bill will likely be remembered for being a long tracking rainstorm rather than a 60 mph tropical storm that formed quickly in the Gulf of Mexico. Ana and Bill also drive home the point that it only takes 1 or 2 landfalls to make a season memorable for a certain area, even in an El Niño. These two storms are likely the first time two consecutive tropical cyclones to make landfall in the US since 2008. With five months left in this season, it is important to remember that it only takes one to cause problems. Let's hope that the third system is a charm and stays out to sea. It'll likely take a while until the damage toll is realized, at least from flooding alone.
I'll be watching for our next system. Let me know if I missed anything, or what you would like to see here.
Thanks, Jonathan (@JonathanBelles)

Nice place that's in a quiet neighborhood but not far from all the things to do in hvar city. Beaches, market nearby, having a kitchenette stocked with pots and pans and dishes was great!Only drawbacks were that wifi does not reach the guest rooms. Also, the hostel is listed as a bed and breakfast but breakfast isn't provided

Hart also noted that Piper was the only wrestler that went to visit him when he suffered a stroke back in 2002. Piper died from a heart attack on Friday.

MMA legend Don Frye is quite the opinionated person, and he proved that once again when asked about CM Punk trying to pursue a career in UFC.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 09/03/14 -- Gridstore, a leader in software-defined storage (SDS) optimized for Windows Servers and Hyper-V, today announced that Front Porch, a Sonora California-based provider of ISP software and services, has chosen Gridstore to provide its innovative storage technology allowing them to utilize the most modern technology that is capable of handling vast amounts of data while delivering the necessary performance and still being mindful of the bottom line.
Tweet this: @front_porch_inc embraces #Hyper-V from @gridstore software-defined storage for its corporate data center
"At Front Porch, it is important that we keep current technologically. We looked at our previous, long-time vendor, and the cost for maintenance alone was going to be an expensive proposition," said Martin Strong, Director of Network Operations, Front Porch. "That got us thinking and looking for a new solution. We saw an article and then a white paper about Gridstore. We thought it looked like an interesting approach."
Front Porch had utilized storage technology from its previous vendor for the past decade. At the time of Front Porch's maintenance renewal, the costs were extremely high for both the NetApp storage and their VMware environment. The financial bottom line was a key driving force in Front Porch's decision to look at and ultimately give Microsoft Hyper-V and Gridstore a test drive. Front Porch made the move away from VMware to a Hyper-V solution implemented on a new hardware platform including three clustered Dell 910s and five Gridstore performance nodes in a single site installation, supporting the entirety of IT operations within the company. Front Porch first took the proposed configuration through a test, where early on it was apparent that if the entire storage load was moved to the Gridstore environment, performance was going to improve.
Straw added, "When we made the switch to Gridstore it was at a cost that was less than what we would have had to pay for maintenance alone with our previous NetApp/VMware configuration."
Front Porch realized numerous benefits from the Gridstore implementation:
- New, higher capacity, lower cost storage at a price point that was less than the maintenance renewal of VMware + NetApp
- Easy-to-deploy solution and outstanding support from Gridstore
- Gridstore's storage delivered increased performance as well
"Gridstore is a solution that worked well out of the box and has provided us with great value in its acquisition costs alone. We calculate the Gridstore system will pay for itself in a year."
About Front Porch

The ancient tribes of Gaul are in turmoil: Rome is encroaching on her lands, her townships, her way of life.
Only one tribe has the nerve to stand up to the threat, the Arverni, led by King Celtillus. But, when he is murdered, it is left to his 19-year-old son, Vercingetorix, to unite the tribes into one great army.
Warrior King Legacy is the story of a young man desperate to fulfil a legacy. From the ordeal of his birth, to growing up in a brutal world where only the very strongest will prevail, to the siege of Alesia and beyond. It is a story of courage, of love, of vengeance, and of tragedy.

Emotions high at Pike River sentencing
Relevant offers
A survivor of the Pike River coalmine disaster has told of his shattered life since the November 2010 blast which killed his brother and 28 workmates.
''I should have died on that day and often wish that I had,'' Daniel Rockhouse said in a victim impact statement, read out today at the sentencing of Pike River Coal Ltd (in receivership) at Greymouth District Court.
''This tragedy has left me feeling tremendous guilt for not being able to help others and questioning why I survive.
''My marriage had collapsed and my wife has returned to Germany with my children due to my anger and behaviour since this event,'' the 27-year-old father of four said.
His statement was read out in court by a lawyer, along with many others by families of the 29 men killed.
Most criticised Pike River for killing their husbands, partners, sons and children and for failing to take responsibility for their actions.
Judge Jane Farish said she would sentence the company tomorrow.
In April, she convicted it on nine health and safety failures and blamed it for causing the explosion.
Rockhouse said November 19, 2010 started out a happy day because he was going on one month's leave at the end of his shift.
He met his brother, Ben, 21, underground in the West Coast coalmine and they joked around as always, oblivious to what was to take place.
''I lost my much-loved little brother, very close friends and workmates that day.''
While he did not hear the explosion and spent a considerable amount of time unconscious, he said the exhausting trudge out of the mine supporting his good friend and fellow survivor Russell Smith ''will haunt me forever''.
Rockhouse had shifted to Australia to work in an underground coalmine to support his family.
''Not a day goes by without feeling fear and regret as I enter the mine.''
He said the blast's financial burden had been significant, such as relocation costs to Australia and having to start afresh in another country.
''I now have little to show for my adult life and the road ahead looks very bleak.''
Since the blast, he had undergone considerable counselling but had gained little benefit from it and was now unable to afford more.
The mother of victim Michael Monk, Kath Monk, said the blast had been called an accident.
"However, the definition of an accident is an unforeseen event or one with no apparent cause but in our eyes, this was not the case.
"We are disgusted that to this day no-one from Pike River Coal has apologised personally to our family for the loss of Michael. The lack of accountability of this disaster has been really hard to accept.
"It is really hurtful and insulting that no-one has accepted responsibility. It makes us feel that there is so little value placed on the lives of the 29 men."
The blast had robbed her family of seeing Michael marry, have children and have a successful future, she said.
Michael was a handsome, self-assured young man with a smile that "could light up a room", hence his nickname, Sunshine, she said.
"Michael's death has been a shattering experience and nothing can prepare you for this."
Her family would continue to fight to have the men's remains brought out of the mine, she said, sentiments many other families echoed today.
Milton Osborne's widow, Anna Osborne, told of her raw devastation at being unable to bring her husband's body home. She was unable to hold a memorial service for him as a result.
She said she had struggled with depression, anxiety and illness since becoming a widow "in the blink of an eye" at age 44,
Negligence by "so many people" had caused her dear husband's early death, she said.
"This was no accident. It was totally avoidable and unnecessary.
"This disaster should have and could have been avoided. So many people at so many levels failed our guys and destroyed our worlds."
The former Labour Department, now part of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, had laid the nine charges against Pike River Coal Ltd.
They related to methane, strata and ventilation management, mitigating explosion risk and impact, plus health and safety management for contractors, subcontractors and their employees in the underground West Coast coalmine.
Each charge carries a maximum penalty of $250,000.
