In a survey as part of an ongoing study funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 40% of 9-and 10-year-old girls surveyed have tried to lose weight.

The National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders reports that at least 8 million people in the United States have an eating disorder and 90% of these are women, whose conditions began in their teens.

More and more children are looking to their peers for cues about how to be in the world. Where they really need to be looking, according to child development expert Gordon Neufeld and physician and mind-body wellness expert Gabor Maté, is to their parents. More
Reynolds: All of us who are raising children want to find a balance between hands-on parenting and helicopter parenting. I think you have managed to find that balance when you urge introverted parents not to project their own history onto their introverted child. Can you say more about this? More

Manaka wasn't a bastard, it was all those fckd up girls around him...
Well he did sorta rape Honoka...even though it was rape with partial consent. Wait, that's an oxymoron.
He didn't do anything. She ran away.
Where did honoka go anyway? She seems to have disappeared in the last 30 chapters. Replaced by ugh Yui, no doubt. I don't think she'll ever appear again as anything more than an extra character
She's touring with Nana's company because the scout thought she looked good enough to be a "star".

text: U.S. goal is to end Afghan combat mission in 2013By Barbara Starr and Adam Levine, CNNUpdated 7:03 AM ET, Thu February 2, 2012U.S. soldiers from 2-87 Infantry Battalion fire mortars in August 2011 in Kandahar province , Afghanistan.Story highlights Lieberman sees "no rationale" for stepping up the withdrawal timetableU.S. forces to transition to a training role, Panetta saysThe U.S. goal is for Afghan forces, advised by Americans, to take the leadNATO to meet in Chicago in May to discuss the warThe United States and NATO want to end their combat mission in Afghanistan next year, transitioning primarily to a training role in which Afghan security forces will take the lead, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Wednesday."Our goal is to complete all of that transition in 2013 and then, hopefully, by mid- to the latter part of 2013, we'll be able to make a transition from a combat role to a training, advise and assist role," he told reporters traveling with him to Brussels, according to a transcript released by the Pentagon. The result will be that "2014 then becomes a year of consolidating the transition and making sure that those gains are in fact held, so that we can move towards a more enduring presence beyond 2014."That enduring presence will include "a large civilian presence" involved with development, he continued. Under Panetta's scenario, the transition would come a year before the 2014 deadline to end the war in Afghanistan that had been set by the Obama administration.A U.S. administration official stressed that a transition in 2013 is the hope, but "nothing is final" until leaders of the NATO countries convene in Chicago in May.

Adam Smith, ranking member of the House Armed Service Committee, called Panetta's timeline "a reasonable goal."But the committee chairman, Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon, said it was too early to make such predictions. "Announcing a change in mission in Afghanistan -- before we have even validated the Afghan Security Forces can maintain stability in the areas we have already transitioned and ahead of the fighting season -- is premature," he said. And Sen. Joseph Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, said in a statement, "There is absolutely no military rationale that I am aware of for suddenly accelerating the current timetable for withdrawal from Afghanistan. This change is not justified by facts on the ground. While we all share the goal of drawing down our military presence in Afghanistan, this should be driven by developments on the ground in Afghanistan, not by the whims of Washington."Late last year, Gen. John Allen, the commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, said U.S. forces will begin to be deployed this year within Afghan units as advisers and trainers, reducing the direct combat role of foreign troops in the country.Afghanistan's security force exceeds 305,000 and is headed toward 352,000 this year. At the same time, the United States will be withdrawing forces throughout 2012, with the goal of reducing U.S. troop strength to 68,000 by year's end from more than 100,000. There will also be 38,000 troops from other NATO countries.The U.S. goal is for Afghan forces, advised by Americans, to take the lead."That will, in many respects, be a preview of how we'll see our forces postured in the years to come," Allen said in December. "The crossover point where we become largely an advisory, assisting and education force versus a force that is engaged at any given moment in counterinsurgency, that crossover point remains to be determined."The United States will still maintain its commitment to transition to an Afghan lead by the end of 2014, according to Pentagon spokesman Capt. John Kirby. "Nothing has changed about the strategy our troops are executing: We are working to prevent Afghanistan from ever again becoming a safe haven for al Qaeda and its allies," Kirby said in a statement. "Nothing has changed about the goal of developing strong and capable Afghan security forces." The news comes a few days after France announced that it will withdraw its troops a year earlier than 2014. That announcement came after four of its troops were killed by an Afghan soldier.The Obama administration has taken pains to show that the alliance is still strong and committed to the 2014 deadline."The end of this process, the end of this transition, the end of this drawdown in which the Afghans fully move into the lead, is slated to be 2014," White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said in Chicago on Tuesday. "Just as we made decisions about the pace of our drawdown, other nations will make decisions."NATO will meet in May in Chicago to discuss the war and to ensure that the 28-member alliance is "aligned on our drawdowns and transition," Rhodes said.But there are significant questions as to whether the NATO and Afghanistan can sufficiently weaken the Taliban or bring them to the negotiating table. A leaked NATO report underscores concerns about Pakistan's support of the Taliban. The document revives the longstanding accusation that elements in Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence agency are aiding the insurgency in Afghanistan.It says the ISI knows the whereabouts of all senior Taliban commanders, according to a Times of London journalist who has read the classified NATO document.The Obama administration is trying to get the Taliban to negotiate and has proposed a transfer of some prisoners from Guantanamo to Qatar as a sign of good faith by the United States. The administration said any discussion about releasing the detainees would be preliminary and would hinge on the Taliban renouncing terrorism and agreeing to peace talks. In addition to the release of Guantanamo prisoners, the Taliban would be allowed to open an office in Qatar.But that proposed transfer is controversial. In a letter to President Obama on Wednesday, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-California, a former Marine officer who served in Afghanistan, warned that the release would "send the wrong message to the Taliban.""Releasing prisoners strictly for the purpose of accelerating negotiations undermines the U.S. mission in Afghanistan and deliberately ignores the threat of a Taliban resurgence," Hunter wrote.Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, who attended a briefing by administration officials on Tuesday night about the potential release, called it "really, really bizarre.""This whole thing is highly questionable because the Taliban know we're leaving. They know we're leaving. Put yourself in their shoes." McCain said. "There are many people who are experts in the region who say they are rope-a-doping us." Even as the United States plans its withdrawal, it is working on ensuring that it can continue to supply troops. The Obama administration is temporarily lifting a ban on military assistance to Uzbekistan, a Central Asian nation that plays a crucial role in providing an overland supply route for U.S. military cargo into Afghanistan.Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signed a waiver January 18 under which the United States can provide Uzbekistan with "non-lethal" defensive equipment, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Tuesday.More from usEngineer in California Metrolink train crash diesFDA: Manufacturer never had permission to sell device connected to superbug deathsMemphis professor: ISIS 'called for my assassination'Powered by Livefyre

owner of Evanson Jensen Funeral Home, Lemmon, South Dakota, died April 8, 2012, at age 92. Evanson served with the U.S. Army in France during World War II. Following a year at St. Olaf College, he transferred to the University of Minnesota, graduating with a degree in mortuary science. He returned to Lemmon to work with his father, who owned Evanson's Funeral Home and Evanson's Furniture in addition to operating an ambulance service. This business later became Evanson and Son and then Evanson Jensen Funeral Home. He retired in 1986. Evanson was an organizing member and served on the board of directors of KBJM Radio, Lemmon Livestock Market and Gregorian Manufacturing. He was involved with the Lemmon Housing Authority, helping to oversee the first HUD elderly housing complex in Lemmon, and was a member of the original Lemmon Economic Development Board to revitalize Main Street. He also served on Lemmon's school board and city council, the Lemmon Volunteer Fire Department and Lions Club, serving as president for the latter at various times.

Andrew Wiggins accomplished something no other Canadian basketball player ever has.
The 18-year-old, six-foot, eight-inch Thornhill resident, who attends high school at Huntington St. Joseph's Prep in West Virginia, was named the recipient of this year's Naismith Prep Player of the Year award.
Named for Canadian basketball inventor James Naismith, the award is presented annually by the Atlanta Tipoff Club to high school basketball's top male and female player.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper yesterday released this tweet after learning of the award: "Just heard the news that the best High School basketball player in the United States is Canadian Andrew Wiggins. Congratulations @22wiggins!"
Mr. Wiggins replied via a tweet: "@pmharper Thank you sir, I appreciate your support!"
The former Vaughan Secondary School star, who led the Voyageurs to an OFSSA title in 2011, has averaged 23.6 points and 11.7 rebounds a game for Huntington Prep this season.
Gus Gymnopoulos, who coached Mr. Wiggins at Vaughan Secondary two years ago, calls him "the best player in the world at his age".
When the Voyageurs went on a blistering 46-1, season-long run to claim their first of back-to-back OFSSA titles in the 2010-11 season, Mr. Wiggins was a raw talent. But Mr. Gymnopoulos had already experienced coaching his two older brothers, Mitchell Jr. and Nick. He thinks the brothers helped Andrew in his development.
"He's the third boy out of a family of six children. Andrew had three role models (including former NBAer dad, Mitch Sr.) showing him how to do things, in terms of the genetics and athleticism.
"All three of the brothers are top-shelf athletes. Not much separating the three boys. I just think maybe Andrew benefited because he had the older brothers to beat up on him when he was little," said Mr. Gymnopoulos.
The former coach is convinced Mr. Wiggins had to go south to continue his development after the 2010-11 season.
"Absolutely 100 per cent it was necessary for him, for the type of talent and skills he possessed," he said.
And Mr. Gymnopoulos has little doubt his former player will soar to great heights in the next few years in college and, ultimately, the NBA.
"I think one of Andrew's greatest strengths is his understanding of how to play and not necessarily trying to figure out the tactics behind it all. He feels so comfortable on the court," he said. "When things are stressful he can tone down and not take it as a big deal. When a challenge is placed in front of him, he can respond to it. One of his greatest strengths is his mental ability."
A member of Canada's under-18 team that won a bronze medal at the 2012 FIBA Americas Under-18 Championship, Mr. Wiggins is the son of former National Basketball Association player Mitchell Wiggins and former Canadian track-and-field runner and Olympic silver medallist Marita Payne.
Older brother Nick is in his junior season on the Wichita State basketball team.
Previous recipients of the Naismith award include NBAers Kobe Bryant (Lower Merion High School) in 1996, Shane Battier (Detroit Country Day School) in 1997, LeBron James (St. Vincent-St. Mary High School) in 2003, Kevin Love (Lake Oswego High School), 2007 and Brandon Jennings (Oak Hill Academy), 2008.
The inaugural awards were given to former NBA player Dennis Scott and Lynne Lorenzen in 1987.
Mr. Wiggins is still mulling over which U.S. college to attend among an elite group. He is said to have narrowed his choices down to Florida State, North Carolina, Kentucky or Kansas, all legendary basketball schools.
Mr. Wiggins could not be reached for an interview at press time.
He is also considered the consensus choice to be the No. 1 pick of the 2014 NBA draft.

Justin Sayre to Celebrate Fire Island in Show at the Ice Palace
The show will celebrate the magic of Fire Island, and Molly Pope will be the show's special guest, with other names to be announced. Brandon James Gwinn will serve as musical director.
Sayre's The Meeting operates under the myth of the "gay agenda" and is structured as any organizational meeting for homosexuals would be - business of the day, upcoming events and social issues are discussed, ridiculed, and interwoven between comedy sketches, musical numbers, and other "homo-hijinks."

-Post has been updated-10:45am Big Brother displays "IT'S TIME FOR A LUXURY COMPETITION!" on the living room tv screen. All the house guests except Victoria are still sleeping. Big Brother starts playing the Holla messages over and over again to wake up the house guests. Big Brother blocks the feeds and when they return Frankie, Derrick and Cody head into the living room. Frankie yells Oh My GOD! Derrick screams yes! Yes! That's what I'm talking about!! They get Caleb to come down from the HOH room and show him the tv screen.

Big Brother 16 Spoilers Rewind Episode
-Post has been updated-Most of the time twists rarely work out on BBUS and they end up BORKING the game. With that said as far as twists go I didn't mind the BB rewind. The timing though was horribly wrong. They should have pulled it out during the Zach, Donny or Nicole evictions, one of the BIG fan favorites. Instead it happens near the end of the season and doesn't give us anything other than one exciting episode on TV.

Derrick says I'm just going over things. If I don't know it by now, I'm not going to know it. I'm thinking about the positives about why I'm here. Derrick says I need to win HOH. Frankie says and I'm counting on that. Derrick says Not only to get further but I've got to have it for the resume. Frankie says don't think I didn't think about that when I won this veto. Derrick says your resume is stacked! Frankie says you know what I'm saying.. did you need to win this? I don't understand that question.

The suit challenges four parts of the law and asks a court to require North Carolina to obtain pre-approval for certain voting law changes under a part of the Voting Rights Act that remains in effect.The lawsuit is part of Attorney General Eric Holder's response to a June Supreme Court ruling that struck down a Voting Rights Act requirement for a patchwork of states and local jurisdictions to get permission from the Justice Department or a federal judge before enacting voting law changes.North Carolina lawmakers approve controversial election changesThe four sections in dispute are: the requirement of photo ID to cast ballots; the shortening of early voting from 17 days to 10; the elimination of same-day voter registration during early voting; and restrictions on counting some provisional ballots.The photo ID portion of the North Carolina law was the center of controversy because Democrats said that it didn't include protections for voters who don't have identification and that it disproportionately would affect minority voters. Photos: The Voting Rights Act 14 photosPhotos: The Voting Rights Act 14 photosThe Voting Rights Act – The Voting Rights Act is often called the crown jewel of the civil rights movement, yet many Americans do not know why or how it was passed. Pictured, NAACP Field Director Charles White speaks on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday, June 25, after the court limited use of a major part of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965, in effect invalidating a key enforcement provision. Here are some key moments and characters in the voting rights saga. Hide Caption 1 of 14Photos: The Voting Rights Act 14 photosThe Voting Rights Act – Three young civil rights workers were murdered in 1964 in Mississippi while trying to register black voters. The infamous murders showed that segregationists were willing to kill to keep African-Americans from voting.Hide Caption 2 of 14Photos: The Voting Rights Act 14 photosThe Voting Rights Act – John Lewis, a young activist who later became a congressman of Georgia, heads to a fateful encounter on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama during a 1965 march. Lewis was brutally assaulted by state troopers during the "Bloody Sunday" march that made voting rights a national issue.Hide Caption 3 of 14Photos: The Voting Rights Act 14 photosThe Voting Rights Act – Marchers during the 1965 voting rights campaign in Selma, Alabama gather for a rally on March 26, 1965, a few weeks after "Bloody Sunday." Black residents were beaten, fired from their jobs and imprisoned trying to vote.Hide Caption 4 of 14Photos: The Voting Rights Act 14 photosThe Voting Rights Act – Viola Liuzzo, a Detroit housewife, was murdered while participating in the voting rights campaign in Selma, Alabama, in 1965. Her death outraged the nation and helped spur passage of the Voting Rights Act.Hide Caption 5 of 14Photos: The Voting Rights Act 14 photosThe Voting Rights Act – President Lyndon Johnson, pictured here discussing the act with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1965, went on national television to call for passage of the Voting Rights Act. He ended his speech by saying, "And we shall overcome."Hide Caption 6 of 14Photos: The Voting Rights Act 14 photosThe Voting Rights Act – Rep.

Studies of recent elections have shown in-person vote fraud to be rare.Some voter photo ID laws have been upheld by the courts. In August, the Justice Department filed similar lawsuits against Texas seeking to block the state's 2011 election redistricting plan and a new voter photo ID law. The federal government is also seeking to require Texas to seek future pre-approval for voting law changes.North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory signed the voting law changes last month.McCrory's office issued a statement on Monday with a link to a video showing President Barack Obama being asked for and presenting his driver's license at an Illinois polling station before voting in the 2012 presidential election. "I believe if showing a voter ID is good enough and fair enough for our own president in Illinois, then it's good enough for the people in North Carolina," McCrory said. He said North Carolina is in line with a majority of states with voter ID laws, and said voters without identification will be able to get free identification cards from the state in January. "Protecting the integrity of every vote is one of the most important duties I have as governor of this great state. And that is why I signed this common sense legislation into law," McCrory said.In a speech earlier this month at a convention of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Holder repeated his criticism of the June high court ruling on the Voting Rights Act, calling it "a deeply flawed decision that effectively invalidated a cornerstone of American civil rights law."He said despite the ruling, the Justice Department would find ways to try to accomplish the goals of the section of the law that was struck down. "We will continue to vigorously enforce federal voting laws not affected by the Supreme Court's decision -- including all remaining parts of the Voting Rights Act," Holder said.The Supreme Court called the pre-clearance portion of the law unconstitutional in part because of its disparate treatment of the affected states.The ruling left standing other portions of the 1965 law, which was reauthorized by Congress and signed by President George W.

But TC will conveniently ignore these type of post to increase the view count. For the record, I think they need to do more with their VC and making it more enticing for the modern tastes. Miiverse is fantastic, but I think they can do even more with it. Also they need to get that video chat more in line with their actually games! | |

As a Nintendo Fan I can see that Nintendo are not doing so good as of now, but I will not write them off yet. We do happen to be in a recessionary time and I believe, that all consoles will not do so well. All this crap about Nintendo been underpowered and not a next gen console etc. Who cares, if you don't like what they have to offer, move on. Talk about Microsoft and Sony and make the sunshine out of their hole, whatever makes you happy. I just can't understand how people have a go at other companies, when the ones their supporting have just as many problems. --- You complain Nintendo doesn't do 1080p.

Terotrous posted... There's a difference between being critical of Nintendo and mindlessly hating on everything they do. the thing is though, most people who are critical are thrown into the later group anyway so whats the point. --- Retro reviews at http://www.youtube.com/user/TheLonelyGoomba | |
I think we should learn to appreciate video games as a whole. Every system has pros and cons and the exsistence of Nintendo pushes Sony and Microsoft to aim higher and vice versa being hypercritical of a rival system to validate your support of a console or company is a waste of time. People should focus on the games and what they like and realise the exsistence of rival companies is good for the industry. |

"Turn Tyler Pink"
Tyler, Texas — Steve Countryman, Tyler Fire Department Captain, says "Turn Tyler Pink" all started because of one woman who was very close to the Tyler Fire Family, " This all started with Tonia's story. and you know this was a young lady that was the picture of hell. She had a young child, it was their only child just a couple years old. She lost her battle and we saw what effect that had on that family and ya know we just wanted to do whatever we can to give them just a little bit of relief."
Tonia Malcolm, the late wife of a Tyler Fireman, lost her battle with cancer in 2008.
But out of Tonia's tragedy comes a trail of pink that will continue her legacy, forever.
Turn Tyler Pink is something the Tyler Fire Dept has done since 2009, in Tonia's honor.
Their mission to raise awareness about cancer, something that people struggle with every day, including some of their very own, even still today.
Countryman says, "This past year we have had four of our firefighters family's that have been diagnosed and/or treated for cancer." Including the wife of Firefighter Shawn Hatton from station 10. Shawn's wife Emily says she's one of the lucky ones.
She says, "I was diagnosed in April and I had a lot of biopsies and finally on May 4, this year, I had surgery and they were able to get all the cancer."
Emily Hatton now wears a "survivor" sweatshirt that the Tyler Fire Dept. made for her.
She said without her Tyler Fire-Family, she doesn't know what she would have done.
She says, "They brought us a check to my house after I was home recovering from my surgery. Not only were they there financially for us but they were there emotionally to support us as well, just being there to pray for us."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Between the HEARTBEATS
Photographer goes beyond rehearsed poses to capture ballet dancers in the moment
Bruce Monk is part of the background at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet -- like music and sweat.
After a short stint as a company dancer in the mid-1980s, he has taught and choreographed at the RWB School for 23 years.
For all those years, Monk has also been a fine-art dance photographer, able to glide unnoticed through the wings during performances and capture images that probably no outsider could.
"I'm kind of invisible, because I'm there all the time," says the 56-year-old Vancouver-bred artist. "You stop being observed and just become the observer...
"You can catch those between-the-heartbeat moments when people, in some cases, are working so hard, they can't be anyone other than themselves."
Monk studied photography at the Ontario College of Art while completing his ballet-teacher training at the National Ballet School. His accomplishments behind the lens aren't well known here, but his work sells internationally through his website.
"There is more of my work in Hong Kong than there is in Canada," says the Osborne Village resident, who is married to former RWB soloist Gail Stefanek.
Monk's images have been used in ad campaigns for Leica and Hasselblad cameras. In the 2001 Hollywood movie Vanilla Sky, Penélope Cruz played a dancer/photographer and Monk's work was used for hers.
In the 2005 movie Two for the Money, the daughter of Al Pacino's wealthy character was into ballet and their walls were adorned with Monk photographs.
As the final event of its 70th season, RWB is partnering with Mayberry Fine Art to present Dancer's Camera, an exhibition and fundraising sale of Monk's black-and-white dance photographs.
The artist describes the onstage and backstage images as something of a "time capsule and self-portrait" of the company.
Half the funds raised will go to the David Moroni endowment fund to support the RWB School.
Tonight at the gallery, there's an elegant opening with a $50 ticket price that includes a wine-tasting and chance to buy prints before the public. The exhibition is on until May 21. The prints vary in size from 5 x 7 to 12 x 12 inches and in price, if unframed, from $575 to $1,150.
The gallery is waiving its cut of sales, says co-owner Shaun Mayberry, an RWB supporter. "Bruce has a fantastic eye for composition," he says, adding that Monk's work in the darkroom is "an artform in itself."
Monk chose 17 of his best images from at least 150,000 possible shots and platinum-printed three limited-edition prints of each. Platinum printing is an antique method that produces a one-of-a-kind print. "Each one is handmade, like a sweater," he says.
Dancer's Camera includes three Monk images that have earned a place in the permanent collection of the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography.
Most of the photos, dating from 1987 to 2003, were captured with vintage cameras. The artist uses his knowledge of choreography and music to open the shutter at precisely planned moments to capture remarkable, sometimes dreamlike effects.
Monk's photo credit is familiar to Free Press readers because he gets a stipend from the RWB to shoot performances and some publicity photos. But he hates studio shots, leaves that to others and has "zero regrets" that he's not a career photographer.
Monk says he has almost no interest in photographing stars in the spotlight. His eye is drawn to the art form's soldiers -- unsung crew members and lowly, nearly anonymous members of the corps. He often shoots figures in silhouette or shadow. "Personality is not important," he says.
In 1998, he won his greatest honour to date: first prize in an international competition run by Hasselblad cameras. He was flown to New York and lauded for the image, titled From the Gantry.
A gantry is a catwalk high above the stage where crew members toil during a ballet. From this vantage point, two dancers in tutus are seen from the waist down, while their upper bodies are seen in exquisite shadows on the floor.
"The personality is eliminated," says Monk, "but hopefully the humanity comes through even clearer."
Brush with greatness
Platinum printing, which Bruce Monk used for the show Dancer's Camera, is one of the earliest methods of photographic printing. It provides much greater tonal range than silver gelatin -- 255 gradations from black to white. "It's like a piano with 255 keys," says the photographer, who often speaks in musical metaphors.
Monk, who has been messing around in darkrooms since the age of 10, rents a basement where he makes the costly, labour-intensive prints. He has to spray the walls and floor with water to raise the humidity for the process. It uses toxic chemicals that can produce deadly gas. Nonetheless, "I really love the darkroom," he says. "Platinum printing is like playing chess with yourself."
Monk, who uses digital negatives and enhances the tones on a computer screen, applies platinum emulsion to the paper with a brush. After nearly 20 years, his failure rate is 50 per cent, usually because a microscopic defect in the paper creates a black spot.
Platinum prints don't deteriorate. They will last hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Monk made his first platinum print in 1991, the same year he had a bout with cancer. "If I'm not going to last, I would sure like some of my work to," he says.

With 10.450 km (11.773 km including all detours and alternatives) the E4 is by far the longest European trail, although there is a substantial gap in construction in Romania/Bulgaria. The alternative through Serbia is ready waymarked. Starting off in the southern tip of Spain in Tarifa, it leads northeast, across the Pyrenees through France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Serbia (alternative Romania under construction), Bulgaria and Greece. The Peloponnes part (260 km) has been renovated in 2012 and 2013. Several ferry rides lead across to the island of Crete and finally Cyprus.
After leaving Switzerland, the route offers a choice between the alpine route, for experienced mountain hikers only, and a less demanding subalpine alternative. They converge again before leaving Austria.

direction, people, books
- hi there!
i was wondering if it would be possible to walk this trail in the other direction - so in other words, is the trail well marked both ways? i'll be walking from vienna to salzburg, so my question applies to the austrian bit of the trail.
also i'd like to know if there are any books or maps available about this part.
and last but not least: would you reckon i'd meet many fellow hikers on the way?
thanks so much for your answer, and thumbs up for the website! it's such a great help.

GPX, GPS File
- Is there a GPX file for a GPS of the E4 anywhere on the net?
Thanks, David - Traildino 2013-05-10 18:21:51
- David, we are working on it as Traildino. But I can give you some advice: check this page.
By clicking on "Routes" you get access to the GPX file. I know from experience that the routes that hikers added to OSM usually have a good quality. However, the this E4 is only partly added to OSM, so you will find only about 50% of the entire E4 covered in this track. Well, it's a very long way of course!
