Lumicycle LED 4Si £265.00
Great performing, top notch road light… although we'd be very tempted by the LED3Si too

The LED4Si is Lumicycle's flagship road light. It's not as powerful as Lumicycle's MTB-oriented XPG systems – a claimed 1120 lumens against 1500 for the XPG – but the 4Si is designed for the road and has a tighter beam, so it can get away with less total output and get better battery life. And 1120 lumens is still a lot...
As the name suggests, the LED4Si uses four LED emitters, housed in a beautifully made, CNC machined and black anodised lamp unit. Lumicycle is clearly keen on passive cooling, with the lamp body being heavily finned for two-thirds of its length.
At the front is the lens assembly and a rather useful 'glow ring' – a translucent bezel that diffuses a bit of light around its periphery to give a bit of side visibility when riding past junctions and the like. To avoid dazzling the rider when out of the saddle, there's a little 'eyebrow' on the top edge of the casing, which works well.
The bar clamp is the usual style of hinged mount with a cam-action locking lever. It's got rubber pads inside to grip the bar, but rather than use thinner or thicker pads to accommodate different bar sizes, Lumicyle supplies an extra link to introduce into the hinge. This works well but is something of a faff – you have to push out the hinge pin and then press it back in. If you regularly swap lights between standard and OS bars I'd suggest new handlebars... The clamp bolts on underneath and offers a bit of angle adjustment to compensate for the light not being mounted dead centre.
At the back is the power socket, which is a conventional jack type. The battery is carried in a Cordura pouch with a Velcro strap – the supplied 2.6Ah battery is small enough to stow under the stem, leaving just a short run of wire. If you opt for the bigger 5.2Ah battery it'll probably need to go under the top tube. It's worth noting that the batteries come with two power leads should you want to run two light units. Some lights have more overt rubber seals and grommets at the connectors, which inspire confidence, although I didn't experience any issues with the Lumicycle in the rain.
Next to the socket is the switch, which is a momentary-action up/down toggle rather than the more usual push button. In terms of usability, the switch is borderline genius – flick it up to make the light brighter, down to dim it. Obvious. It's easy to find, too, because it sticks out. There are five modes in total, with the usual low, medium and high being supplemented by a full-bore 'Smart Boost' mode and a flash setting.
Smart Boost unleashes the full 1120 lumen power of the LED4Si, but only for three minutes in the interests of battery life and heat management. If you know you're going to need lots of light for longer, a long upward push on the switch from High locks it into Smart Boost mode until it either overheats or the battery gets depleted. If either of those things happen the light switches itself down to a lower setting. When the battery's getting properly empty you won't be able to access anything more potent than Medium, although that's ample for most purposes on the road – I was comfortable at late-teens speeds on unlit country roads with it, with High and Boost still in reserve for descents. The beam pattern is fairly tight, although still with a healthy degree of peripheral illumination. It carries well and appears to be directional enough to not dazzle other road users.
A single LED acts as a status indicator and battery gauge, with steady colours (green, yellow, red) telling you how the battery is and overlaid flashing telling you what setting you're in (assuming that you can remember which colour means what). With fairly aggressive use of the higher-power modes, I was getting around six hours out of the LED4Si, which squares with Lumicycle's claimed numbers of 10 hours on medium, four on high and just over two on Boost. The 'smart' auto-cut-off charger fills the battery back up in about three hours. If you need to charge in two locations you'll need to remember to take the charger or get a second one – there's no USB charge option.
The Lumicycle LED4Si is a very good light indeed – top-notch construction, great performance, decent battery life. It's in the premium price bracket but it's a top-quality product. I'd be tempted by the LED3Si, though – one less emitter, better battery life but £65 cheaper...
road.cc test report
Make and model: Lumicycle LED 4Si
Size tested: Black
Tell us what the light is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
"The LED4Si has the most penetrating, intense beam of all the Lumicycle lights making it most suited to fast road riding," according to Lumicycle. Hard to argue with that, really.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the light?
Four LED emitters are housed in a rather lovely CNC-machined alloy housing that's generously endowed with cooling fins. A translucent bezel at the front passes some light to the sides to help other people see you, and an "eyebrow" on top prevents any light spill upwards that might dazzle you while riding. At the back there's the power socket, status LED and a rubberised toggle switch. The test system had a 2.6Ah Li-ion battery -- there's a 5.2Ah unit available if you need more run time.
The LED4Si is beautifully made and finished. The lamp housing is CNC-machined aluminium, anodised black. The bezel is secured by four tiny Torx bolts and everything's weather-sealed. The battery lives inside a simple Cordura bag with a Velcro strap to attach it to your frame or stem.
Lumicycle uses a very intuitive control system on its LED lights. Rather than a push button, there's an up/down toggle switch. Hold it up to switch on, and then flicking it down switches to a lower output and flicking it up switches to a higher one. It's slightly complicated by the presence of a flashing mode (long press down from off) and the Smart Boost extra-high-output mode (which turns itself down after three minutes unless you lock it with another long up press) but fundamentally it's an excellent system. The LED uses a mix of colours and flashes to communicate both power level and battery state, if you can remember what means what.
The clamp is the common hinged, cam-lock design, with rubber pads to aid grip. Oversize bars are accommodated by adding an extra link in the hinge, which works well once done but is somewhat more fiddly than swapping rubber pads around.
No problems during the test, although the power connector is a standard jack with no particular extra protection. There's no reason to expect any issues unless you start pulling the plug out in torrential rain, but there are lights out there with more overt seals around the connector.
Claimed run times range from 31 hours on low to 2.2 on Boost -- I got over six using a mixture of Boost, high and medium, so Lumicycle's numbers look entirely plausible. The light comes with a smart charger that cuts off when the battery's fully charged, which takes about three hours from flat.
With up to 1120 lumens on tap and a well-designed beam pattern, the Lumicycle is a great performer. The medium setting is fine for most purposes, with high if you're cracking on and Boost still to come.
It's hard to assess durability during a relatively short test period, but the Lumicycle is solidly made and we're not aware of any issues.
At 400g for lamp and battery, the Lumicycle is a decent weight but not class-leading -- Exposure's all-in-one units are significantly lighter, with the roughly equivalent Toro, for example, being a claimed 100g lighter.
It's definitely in the premium category, but this is a very well sorted light. For my money, Lumicycle's own LED3Si is a better value proposition, though -- doing away with one LED emitter doesn't make as much difference as you might think, it still has ample power, you get longer battery life and it's £65 cheaper.
Tell us how the light performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Excellent -- there are more powerful lights out there on paper, but the Lumicycle is definitely powerful enough. The beam strikes a good balance between spread and penetration.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the light
The up/down toggle switch is brilliant -- it's easy to find in the dark and it's very intuitive.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the light
Self-contained lights are always going to be neater than having wires and battery bags dangling off the bike, and changing the clamp between standard and OS bars is a bit of a faff.
Did you enjoy using the light? Yes
Would you consider buying the light? Yes, although I'd probably go for the cheaper LED3Si
Would you recommend the light to a friend? Yes
Anything further to say about the light in conclusion?
Lumicycle doesn't seem to be as well known as Exposure, but its products are every bit as good (and in some respects better) if you don't mind plug-in battery packs. Excellent.
About the tester
Age: 38
I usually ride: Whichever's nearest the door My best bike is:
I've been riding for: Over 20 years I ride: Most days I would class myself as: Expert
I regularly do the following types of riding: cyclo cross, sportives, general fitness riding, fixed/singlespeed, mtb, Track; to the shops; with the kids
I'm glad you like Lumi's.
My favourite thing about them is the historic compatibility. My halogen set from a few years ago are still interchangeable with last years LED set - same battery interface, cables, charger, fitting for helmet mount etc. So having upgraded I've now got two chargers and an additional (admittedly aging) battery, plus the option of still using the old halogen lights with the new batteries if I want. It accounts perhaps for the slightly retro appearance, but it's a handy thing, and bodes well if they keep it up for the future.
Of course, if you regularly switch one lamp between different gauges of handlebar, it is possible to buy an additional clamp for about a tenner - changing the whole clamp is slightly less of a faff than adding/removing the extra link, although obviously it's not instant.
Oh, and after a year of use I have never succeeded in recalling wehat the battery indicator light means in its various combinations.

FWIW after I tested the original S4i (last year I think) I went out and bought one, it was that good. I like the subtle revisions for this year (the cute eyelid over the glow ring) and the price has also come down. The S3i is probably the better bet as a commuter/audax light because of the longer runtime and it comes in at a measly £200, which is a complete bargain. Compared with the likes of the Lupine Piko (which I tested a few months ago and costs stupid amounts of money) there's no contest. After a couple of years with mine I have nothing bad to say about it.
Sorry if I sound like a complete fanboy - I just like stuff that works brilliantly and costs sensible money. That they're a small British company based in Bournemouth is a bonus.

This looks like a really nice light. When I compare it to the lights I use I can see some really useful improvements. But, how much?
I use two of http://goo.gl/os7R9 to give me redundancy, not extra light; one is plenty bright enough.
At the speed that LED technology is progressing I'd rather buy something from DealExtreme at 35 quid and sling it when it breaks, safe in the knowledge that its replacement will be the same price but equipped with LEDs that are more efficient.
When I first got into DealExtreme lights, in the Autumn of 2010, the SSC P7 LED was all the rage. It's now been superseded by the Cree XML-T6 and there's no reason to think that next winter there won't be another LED along that will be even brighter for the same power consumption.
I'm now in my 3rd winter using these cheapo lights and they rock.

I'm toying between this, which I think is now called the "Race", and the "Apex" which I think was once called the 3 XPG.
Lumicycle market the Apex as a road light. It has a slightly wider beam, and should apparently be better on off-road cycle ways. Its low power settings are lower than the Race which may work well in town where illumination is not needed. It compares well with the Freeway here - 160 lumens as opposed to 150 but spread wider. I wonder though if it will be too wide and I'd not be able to make use of it at brightness on unlit roads or paths because of fear of dazzling others.
I already have an old Lumicycle battery pack from their Halogen days, so buying just the light will come out cheaper.

A slow start on offense for the Lady Dinos led to an early deficit and ultimately a 40-24 loss on the road to Delta on Thursday night.
The game had an impact on the Region 12 standings as a CHS win would have created a tie for the top spot in Region 12.
Delta jumped out to a 22-7 lead at the half and led 37-17 after three quarters. Both teams struggled in the final quarter as the Lady Dinos were unable to overcome the large deficit.
With the loss, the Lady Dinos (15-6, 8-2 Region 12) clinched the number #2 seed from Region 12 and will host a home playoff game against Stansbury on Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Carbon High Gymnasium.

Carbon County residents joined thousands of people from across the state in the Take Back Utah rally in Salt Lake City on Saturday. They drove their ATVs, UTVs and trucks up State Street to the State Capitol in a procession that went on for miles.
They wanted to demonstrate that masses of people fear being denied access to Utah's scenic backcountry by wilderness and roadless designations on federal land. Carbon County Commissioner John Jones addressed the crowd, telling them that ranchers, miners, gas drillers and recreationists need to band together and make their positions known in the ongoing debate. Jones said public lands are spacious enough to support multiple use.

nevermind, I actually read your post and saw the unattended part. The RH tool that I used in the past to create the ks file took care of that for me. But I may have done it differently -- I was using a floppy and doing a network install.

OtterBox carrying cases are already widely credited as some of the world's best . Their protective Defender and Commuter cases are highly reviewed and extremely popular. But even so, the company's been promising something new since 2012 and with their latest OtterBox Armor case for iPhone 5, they've delivered.
"The OtterBox iPhone 5 Armor Series case is a reinvention of an OtterBox classic that brings protection against water, drops, dust and crushing force," says the company.
But we feel that's a mild understatement. This super-tough case can actually survive a plunge of up to 6 metres, thanks to metal latches, an o-ring seal, port covers and mesh coverings.
Since it was only unveiled a little over a month ago at CES, the iPhone 5 Armor case, which is also available for iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S III, is basically the newest thing on the market.
But already, it's been surrounded by great reviews calling it one of the best. PC Mag listed the Armor case for iPhone 5 in its roundup of the 20 coolest cases at CES.
And for its part, OtterBox is calling it the toughest case ever built, adding, "This case was made with confidence. We encourage you to use it with some."
Otterbox has long been a leader in iPhone accessories, and with this latest offering, it looks as though the company intends to keep its crown. As for us, we're thrilled to have the Armor case for iPhone 5 available so early in its release, and we're pretty sure you will be too.

Listen to the Cancer.Net Podcast: Colonoscopy–What to Expect, adapted from this content.
A colonoscopy is a diagnostic examination used to look inside the entire large intestine, which plays an important role in the body's ability to process waste. The colon makes up the first five to six feet of the large intestine, and the rectum makes up the last six inches, ending at the anus.
After giving pain medication and a sedative (medication that causes drowsiness) to reduce discomfort, the doctor inserts a colonoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a light and a camera) into the anus and throughout the full length of the colon. The doctor views the image captured by the colonoscope on a video monitor. During the procedure, the doctor can perform a biopsy (the removal of a small amount of tissue for examination under a microscope).
A colonoscopy is used to determine the cause of colorectal problems and to screen for colorectal cancer in people who have no symptoms.
The medical team
Typically, a gastroenterologist performs a colonoscopy with the help of a nurse in a doctor's office or at a hospital. A gastroenterologist is a medical doctor who has completed five to six years of specialized training in gastroenterology, which is the study of the function and diseases of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, and liver.
Preparing for the procedure
When you schedule the examination, you will get detailed instructions on how to prepare.
Tell your doctor or nurse about all medications you are taking, and ask whether you should take them on the day of the test. In addition, discuss any drug allergies or medical conditions you have.
Because your colon must be empty during the colonoscopy, you will be asked to avoid solid food and drink only clear liquids (such as fat-free bouillon or broth, black coffee, strained fruit juice, or gelatin) for one to three days before the procedure.
In addition to the liquid diet, you will need to take a laxative (a medication that causes bowel movements) or give yourself an enema (a process that involves injecting liquid into your anus to cause bowel movements) the day or night before the colonoscopy. If your doctor prescribes a laxative, it will be given either as a pill or as a powder that you will mix with water before drinking.
Meanwhile, arrange for a friend or family member to drive you home after the procedure because you will be groggy from the sedative. And check your insurance coverage, including whether it covers the medical facility where you will receive the test, the doctor who will perform the colonoscopy, and the anesthesiologist (if an anesthesiologist will be involved in giving the sedation).
Before the procedure, you will be asked to sign a consent form that states you understand the risks and benefits of having the colonoscopy and agree to undergo the test. Talk with your doctor about any concerns you have about the colonoscopy.
During the procedure
When you arrive for your colonoscopy, you will need to remove your clothing and change into a hospital gown. You will then lie on your side on an examining table in a private room with a sheet draped over your body.
The nurse will give you pain medication and a sedative through an intravenous (IV) line, which is inserted in a vein in your arm. You may feel a slight stinging sensation where the IV needle is inserted.
The colonoscope will inflate your colon by blowing air into it to provide a better view of the colorectal lining. As the doctor guides the colonoscope through the curves of your colon, you may need to change your position slightly to allow better access.
If there is an abnormal growth, or polyp, in your colon, the doctor will use a tool at the end of the colonoscope to remove it or perform a biopsy. This usually does not cause pain. Although bleeding may occur at the site where the tissue is removed, the doctor can stop the bleeding using tools passed through the colonoscope.
The procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes to complete.
Generally, the pain medicine and sedative you receive before the colonoscopy should limit the discomfort you may feel during the procedure. However, you may feel cramping. Taking slow, deep breaths may ease this pain. You may also feel discomfort from lying still for an extended time.
In rare cases, the colonoscope may puncture the colon wall, and surgery may be required to repair the perforation (hole). Talk with your doctor if you have any concerns about this small risk.
After the procedure
You will stay at the facility where you have the colonoscopy for up to two hours after the procedure while the effects of the sedative wear off. A friend or family member may then drive you home.
You can expect to resume your normal activities the day after your colonoscopy. However, contact your doctor immediately if you have severe abdominal pain, a fever, bloody bowel movements, dizziness, or weakness.
Questions to ask your doctor
Before your colonoscopy, consider asking your doctor the following questions:
- Why do you recommend that I have a colonoscopy?
- Who will perform the colonoscopy?
- What will happen during the colonoscopy?
- How long will the procedure take?
- Will it be painful?
- Will I receive medications to reduce discomfort?
- What are the risks and benefits of having a colonoscopy?
- Whom can I talk to about the costs (if any) of this test I may be responsible for paying?
- What will happen if I don't have this examination?
- Will I need to avoid any activities after the colonoscopy?
- When will I learn the results of the test?
- Who will explain the results to me?
- Will I need additional tests?

POTSDAM Joshua J. Gurrola, 19, of 4 Hepburn St., Norfolk, was arrested Monday by St. Lawrence County Sheriffs deputies and charged with endangering the welfare of a child, fourth-degree criminal mischief and criminal obstruction of breathing, all class A misdemeanors. He was also charged with second-degree harassment, a violation.
It is alleged that Mr. Gurrola had a verbal argument with a significant other which resulted in him breaking a DVD player, pushing the victims head into a vehicle window and grabbing hold of the victims throat and squeezing, all in the presence of a 10-year-old child.
Mr. Gurrola was arraigned before Pierrepont Town Judge Robert G. Camp and was remanded to St. Lawrence County jail in lieu of $1,000 cash bail.

It won't be a few weeks until Apple actually holds its iPad Mini event. But the October 23 date can't come quick enough for some who are already speculating about all the details Apple is expected to reveal later this month.
One of the big revelations we're all waiting for regarding the new mini tablet is how much it will cost. And today rumors that sound at least possible (if not probable) began to circulate about the iPad Mini's price.
One of the leaks, first reported by German blog Schimanke, reportedly comes from the inventory of Media Market, a European electronics retailer, and sets the iPad Mini's starting price at around €249 (about $322 U.S.) That includes the Value-Added Tax that applies in Europe or on European goods sold in North America.
Meanwhile, TechCrunch, which reported on the Schimanke leak, has had the good sense to ask whether this estimate is even remotely possible.
After having looked into the newest iPad's bill of materials (BOM) cost – which essentially summarizes the total cost of each of the tablet's major components – TechCrunch found that Schimanke's estimate is, in fact, within the realm of possibility.
Factoring in "Apple's famed commitment to high profit margins," TechCrunch writes that "the iPad Mini reportedly starts at $316.05 for BOM and manufacturing cost per unit, and is sold for $499, giving a rough margin of $182.95."
As for the the top of the line devices, "the margin jumps considerably, with the $829 64GB Wi-Fi+LTE iPad apparently carrying a manufacturing cost of $408.70, parts included, for a difference of $420.30."
We won't really know for sure until Apple officially announces the new device's cost, as it's expected to do at the October 23 event, but it seems likely that it'll be in the neighborhood that the rumors so far have described.

2009 Lexus GX470 Ownership Costs
Cost of Ownership data coming soon
There is no cost of ownership information available for the 2009 Lexus GX470 Base Sport Utility at this time
2009 Lexus GX470 Base Sport Utility cost of ownership data is powered by
Ownership costs are the costs to purchase and operate a vehicle over a period of time. Understanding these costs may enable you to save money and help you make a wiser decision when choosing your next new car.
Regardless of the "value" claims that you may read in car reviews or hear in advertisements, the economic value of a car is based on how much it will cost to own and operate compared to its purchase price. In a sense, purchase price is "what you pay" and the ownership costs are "what you get."
Ownership costs can differ greatly. The cost to own and operate two different vehicles with equal purchase prices can differ by thousands. Of course when evaluating ownership cost for used cars and trucks, a vehicle's condition and mileage will greatly impact ownership costs, therefore it's important to compare similar vehicles in similar condition for an accurate picture.

for used Lexus GX470.
Basic Warranty:
The basic warranty covers everything except items that are subject to wear and tear or replacement in the ordinary course of vehicle ownership, such as oil and air filters, wiper blades and brake pads. Tires and batteries are often excluded, but usually have their own warranty provided by the manufacturers of those items. Emissions equipment is required by Federal law to be covered for five years or 50,000 miles.
Drive Train Warranty:
In some cases the drive train warranty continues after the basic warranty has expired. This part of the warranty covers most of the parts that make the vehicle move, including the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft. Like the basic warranty, consumable parts such as hoses and belts are not covered. However, most of the internal parts of the engine, such as the pistons and bearings, which are also subject to wear and tear, are covered by the drive train warranty.
Roadside Assistance:
Many manufacturers provide a service that will rescue you if your car leaves you stranded, even if it's your fault. Lock yourself our of your car? Run out of gas? Got a flat tire? A call to the manufacturer's toll-free number will result in somebody showing up who can help you out. There is a huge variance in these programs so check ahead of time to see what is covered and what you will have to pay for.
Rust or Corrosion Warranty:
Rust or Corrosion Warranty: This warranty covers the vehicle's sheet metal, and protects you from rust and corrosion that are severe enough to cause a hole - surface rust is not covered. However, if you keep your car washed and waxed rust shouldn't be a problem.

In a continued effort to promote safe and responsible off-highway vehicle use, Governor Michael Leavitt has declared May 4-10 as off highway vehicle safety week in Utah.
"OHV riding is a great sport for the whole family and a good way to see Utah's outdoors," stated Utah State Parks and Recreation off highway vehicle specialist Eric Stucki.
"The purpose of this safety week is to remind riders to be properly trained and educated and to ride responsibly."
Stucki offers the following guide to riding responsibly and trail etiquette.
Motorized users must yield to non-motorized users.
Ride only on designated roads and trails or other areas marked open for use. Respect closed areas and private property. Don't cut switchbacks or take shortcuts. Remember, areas signed as wilderness are closed to all motorized vehicles.
Try to stay in the middle of the trail to avoid widening it. Trail widening is ugly and expensive to repair.
Leave gates as they are found, open or closed, unless posted otherwise.
Be courteous when passing hikers and other vehicles.
Avoid muddy trails, save them for future trips when they are dry.
Utah law requires all riders, from age eight until a Utah driver license is received, to complete the know before you go training course in order to operate an off highway vehicle on public land.
Children under age eight cannot operate an OHV on public lands.
"The safety of children riding all terrain vehicles is absolutely a priority in Utah," says Stucki.
"We strongly encourage parents to select a properly-sized vehicle for their child. In class, students must be able to comfortably reach their brakes and foot pegs, or they are not allowed to continue the course."
Stucki added that Utah law requires a parent to attend the education class with their child and that parent and child learning doesn't end in class.
To register for the class or for information on Utah off highway vehicle laws and riding areas, contact the information center at 800-648-7433.

|Arrival of Spring
I am thrilled to announce my new Arrival of Spring series – a collection of glass art, interpreting Hockney's striking use of light, colour and form. These were created in collaboration with the Royal Academy to celebrate David Hockney's exhibition. This is a result of extensive experimentation in our studio producing a wide variety of unique work, all inspired by the breadth of Hockney's paintings. I have known David Hockney since my early days in Bradford, and I was delighted to have been asked to create works based on the artist's latest exhibition. Each signed piece is unique and signed by me.

|Deep Gap Man Arrested in Wilkesboro
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 12 June 2013 05:39
A Deep Gap man was arrested late Monday night by Wilkesboro Police as they were checking a property and found the man, armed with a large knife. Just after 11:30 Monday night, 28-year old Bobby Scott Taylor was spotted walking among tractor trailers parked on a lot behind the Blimpies on US 421,
the officer spotting a large knife with its orange handle protruding from his pants pocket. Taylor was detained while his name was run for a warrants check, that report showing outstanding warrants, but while running the name, another officer reported that there might be a gun involved, as he was working a gun theft case. A search of the area turned up a rusty handgun, serial numbers filed off the weapon, but officers were unable to definitively tie the gun to Taylor, and he was served the outstanding warrants—failure to appear on two assault counts—and the James Mountain Road man was jailed under $5000 bond.

MT. WASHINGTON, New Hampshire (NEWS CENTER) - An avalanche in Tuckerman Ravine on Mt Washington swept a group of twelve climbers off the side of the mountain, sending three people to local hospitals.
The group, which included a Marine who lost a leg while serving in Iraq, was about fifty feet from the summit when a wall of snow engulfed them, leaving them in a battle for their lives.
"I just kept moving my hands and swimming," climber Stephanie White explained while demonstrating her frantic attempts to keep from being buried. "I ended up being peeled off backwards through the snow and I was swimming and going, 'damn, is this my time?'"
The group, which goes by the name 'Ascents of Honor', was filming their climb for a documentary. The climbers all had extensive experience with winter and ice climbing, and were prepared for the extreme conditions on the mountain.
"We are professionals," stated Thom Pollard, a film maker who was documenting the journey. "We've climbed many mountains around the world collectively, and were prepared for anything that could happen."
Pollard says he was at the head of the group when the avalanche started. The climbers were tied together in teams of three and all used ice axes to try and keep from being dragged down the mountain.
While nine of them were able to keep from being swept away, one three-man team did not emerge with the others once the snow settled.
"When everybody stands up after the avalanche and looks around to see what happened, the initial feeling is one of fear, ultimately, for the three you can't see now," said Pollard.
The nine remaining climbers worked together to stabilize their footing, then proceeded to climb down the slide to look for their colleagues.
"I was just thinking about what if he hadn't made it, and it was really emotional, but we had to keep it together," recalled Pollard.
The group tried to use their satellite phone to contact rescuers, but were unable to get a connection. About three hours after the avalanche, they were able to see lights off in the distance, which were those of rescuers who had been summoned by the three men who were swept away.
The men, Andy Politz, his son JP, and Iraq War veteran Keith Zeier, were rescued and brought to area hospitals to receive treatment for their injuries. They are all expected to recover from their various bumps and bruises, with the most serious injury, amazingly just a broken leg.
"The mountain spirits were good to us," declared White. "We were a very fortunate group, very fortunate."
"For such an event, it is amazing that most of us just ended up with bruises, minor frostbite and just exhaustion," she added.
An avalanche warning had been issued on Thursday by the Mt. Washington Avalanche Center. Tuckerman is a glacial area that slopes eastward on the southeast face of Mt. Washington.
An avalanche warning had been issued on Thursday by the Mt. Washington Avalanche Center. Tuckerman is a glacial area that slopes eastward on the southeast face of Mt. Washington.
It's popular with climbers and extreme skiers and is prone to avalanches this time of year. The group consulted with the US Forest Service Snow Rangers and adjusted their plans due to the warning, but made the ascent slower than expected and conditions changed more than they had anticipated.
The climbers say they were able to reach safety on their own, and appreciate the assistance of the rangers in helping recover the injured members of their group and assist them in getting down to the base of the mountain.
They say their experience, and preparations made the difference during an adventure which nearly took a tragic turn.

Submission Is social media toppling Rush Limbaugh?->
bdking writes: More than 140 sponsors have pulled their ads from Rush Limbaugh's syndicated radio show since the right-wing talk host called a Georgetown University law student a "slut" two weeks ago. Limbaugh is no stranger to controversy, but "Slutgate" is the first big one since social media began helping to shape public debate and corporate strategy. If social media continues to fuel an advertiser exodus, will this be the beginning of the end for Limbaugh and his national platform?
