Private guided Great Dolomites Traverse
Make it private! Your companions, your dates, your tour - we do the rest.
Self-guided Great Dolomites Traverse
Everything but the guide...custom tour design, hikes, and all the details.
The Dolomites, where sheer pink and yellow limestone pinnacles tower like monuments over quaint villages, flowery meadows, wooded valleys, and sun-soaked trails. Italian, Austrian, and ancient Ladin cultures intermingle peacefully in the small, scattered villages in this mountainous corner of Italy. The Dolomites also boast a surprising variety of beautiful wildflowers in the grassy meadows below the mountains. This inn-to-inn tour starts with a circuit the Val Gardena, our favorite corner of the Dolomites, before venturing east through the Badia valley to the soaring rock towers that surround Cortina d'Ampezzo. You're also welcome to join us for either half of the tour. Dolomites West covers the first 5 nights from Selva to Ortisei, while Dolomites East includes the last 6 nights from Ortisei to Cortina.
Our tour begins in Bolzano, a beautiful small city filled with plazas and museums, including the South Tyrol Museum of Archeology, where you can see Ötzi, the 5300 year old ice man found in a nearby glacier. We'll meet in Bolzano and then take a 1 hour drive to Selva. Selva is a small, sunny village at the upper end of the Gardena valley, with miles of hiking trails radiating in every direction. We'll start our tour with a loop around the Gardena valley, visiting a couple high huts along the way, before heading east through the hidden Funes valley, past the mighty Sella mountain, on to the historic mountaintop Lagazuoi, and finally to Cortina d'Ampezzo. We'll have 4 nights in high huts and mountain inns (note, there are no single rooms at the huts, and we will all be in dorm at Lagazuoi), and 6 nights in comfortable and casual 3-star hotels with great food. You won't want to leave!
Our typical day starts with a delicious buffet breakfast at our hotel – a feast of freshly baked bread and pastries, local meats and cheeses, cereal, fruit, eggs, coffee and freshly squeezed juice – which gives us the energy needed for the task ahead. Soon we'll be out on the trail, where you'll get to choose between an easier or more strenuous hike for the day. Each morning, you'll be handed a lunch to carry, and at a mid-point along the way we'll choose a beautiful spot to stop and enjoy our picnic. We get a lot of compliments on our imaginative lunches – making them something to look forward to as well!
For our hikes, there are many route options, and a lot of flexibility most days, and we should finish each day around 4 pm, giving you time to wash up, relax, perhaps settle into the pool, or just gaze upon the outside panorama from your room balcony. After that, we'll enjoy dinner together at our hotel's fabulous restaurants. These are multi-course feasts, often featuring delicious local Austrian and Italian specialties. We will leave one dinner in Ortisei free, giving you a chance to explore on your own.
The Dolomites is truly a special region. With beautiful inns and hikes, this Dolomites tour will make an unforgettable vacation.
Day 1
Selva – Arrive in Italy and transfer by train to Bolzano, your gateway to the Dolomites. From here, you'll take private taxi transfer to Selva, surrounded by stunning scenery at the upper end of the Gardena valley.
Bolzano is a pleasant city with large squares, outdoor markets, and a captivating natural history museum (home of the famous Ötzi iceman). We'll enjoy a wonderful welcome dinner and settle in to our comfortable and friendly 3-star hotel for the night.
Day 2
Plattkofel hut – Hiking hut-to-hut, we'll start with a circuit of the towering Sassolungo mountain group, to the Plattkofel hut, tucked at the base of jagged, imposing rock spires.
With comfortable private rooms and hot showers, Plattkofel is more a comfortable mountain inn than a hut, with a quiet ambiance that allows us to relax and enjoy a beautiful evening high in the mountains.
Day 3
Schlernhaus hut – After a night at Plattkofel, we'll continue on a mellow high-level traverse above the Alpe di Siusi, the largest mountain meadow in the Alps. The rolling trail brings us past the famed Catinaccio/Rosengarten group, with a stop at a lively alpine hut for lunch.
Finish the day at Schlernhaus, an historic mountain inn atop the mighty Schlern peak, with breathtaking views in every direction. Trails radiate from the hut for optional walks to even higher views. Schlernhaus is somewhat more rustic, with private rooms, bathrooms down the hall, no showers. Their beautiful dining room is a cozy place to relax in the evening enjoying a night high in the Dolomites.
Day 4
Ortisei – We have our choice of either a rugged descent through a narrow gorge or an easier descent across the vast meadows of the Alpe di Siusi, where we'll catch a bus or cable car down to Ortisei, a beautiful village with shops and cafes lining their cobblestoned, pedestrian-only main road.
In the evening, you can unwind and enjoy the excellent cuisine at our wonderful 4-star hotel. This marks the end of our Dolomites West tour, and beginning of the Dolomites East hike. Dinner is on your own your first night in Ortisei.
Day 5
Ortisei – On our 2nd day, we might take a dayhike through high scenic meadows, where we can look back on almost our entire route so far.
Or for a more adventurous outing, meet up with a local guide for a via ferrata climb on one of the local routes.
Day 6
Genova hut – Leaving Ortisei, we'll hike into the beautiful and quiet Val di Funes to the Genova hut. This gorgeous valley is not to be missed, with quiet meadows and extensive views of the towering Puez-Odle mountain group.
Genova hut is another comfortable stop, with a variety of private rooms and small dorms, and a tasty and filling traditional menu.
Day 7
Corvara – For strong hikers, a dramatic hike through high, rocky landscapes brings us high across the Puez-Odle group where the massive Sella mountain dominates.
An easier option leads down from Genova hut, into a quiet side-valley filled with historic mills. Passing quiet farms, you'll finish with a short taxi ride into Corvara.
Day 8
Corvara – We have a number or great choices for a dayhike from Corvara.
Perhaps an energetic ascent up into the high rocky plateau of the Sella, to the rifugio Boe. An easier option leads us through gentle, scenic meadows of Pralongia, with constant panoramic views of the entire region. Stay in Corvara a 2nd night.
Day 9
Lagazuoi hut – Today's dramatic walk takes us high above the valley to the rifugio Lagazuoi, a popular hut perched at the summit of a mountain with incredible views and rich history.
This was the scene of fierce fighting in WWI, and many tunnels and artifacts remain to this day. Despite it's mountaintop position, Lagazuoi has comfortable rooms and hot showers, and takes care to serve abundant and delicious meals.
Day 10
Cortina d'Ampezzo – Finally, we'll cap our trip with a long descent on a quiet, lightly-traveled route through the Fanes National Park.
This surprising descent is filled with waterfalls, and promises yet another memorable day. We'll finish in Cortina d'Ampezzo, the lively town at the heart of the eastern Dolomites for a final, celebratory evening.
Day 11
depart – Today we say arrivederci, and depart for our post-tour destinations.

Old speedsters sputtered and chugged across the dew-covered grass, gasoline fumes broke the crispness of the autumn air. The 1910 Pullman had just pulled onto the grounds of the Radnor Hunt, site of the 4th annual Concours d'Elegance. Next, it was the Bugatti's turn, joining two others that had shown up that morning. It was enough to make any car lover smile, even automotive historian Beverly Rae Kimes. "You can never have too many Bugattis," she quipped. Bugattis are now just revered relics of a glorious motoring past, one this show celebrates. But if there's any combination of letters that sets modern enthusiasts' hearts aflutter, it's AMG, the performance arm of Mercedes Benz. Those letters mean blitzkrieg-like power and handling and for the first time, the folks in the land of the three-pointed star give the M-Class a hefty dose of vitamins. With such a wonderful vehicle at my disposal, what better way to spend it than at the Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance? Although the timing was strictly accidental, it seemed fortuitous to have this sport-tuned SUV in time to roam the rolling hills of Chester County. This was accommodated courtesy of a distance rally held in conjunction with the show. It was really just a long drive, not a race. A sheet of cryptic directions tells you where to drive. Your mission is to do it correctly. The instructions usually go something like "Turn left at the right arrow." My navigator and I took in 72 miles of disgustingly breathtaking horse farms, covered bridges and lots of stone and brick farm houses. The Mercedes Benz ML55 seemed to be the perfect companion to escort us through fox-hunting country. Although the ML is available as the 320 (with a 215 horsepower 3.2-liter V-6) and as the 430 (with a more powerful 268 horsepower 4.3-liter V-8) it's the ML55 (with its 342 horsepower 5.5-liter V-8) that makes a long drive in the country palatable. When you need to turn around, the ML55, being an SUV, can do it, even if you have to go off-road. Navigating the narrow 18th-century roads, the ML55 proved up to the challenge, taking the turns, dips and corners with ease. Since this was not a timed rally, it was easy to take in the sights and enjoy the challenge of the back roads. Although the all-aluminum engine is capable of speeds of over 150 mph, on this drive it just provided a pleasant amount of grunt. AMG modifies the 5-liter overhead-cam V-8 through increased displacement. It was done by modifying the engine's crankshaft, allowing for greater stroke of each piston. The manifold was modified and electronics changed, all with the intention of increasing power. This ML pulls very strongly, with a smooth, surly growl to remind the driver that this is no ordinary truck. A five-speed automatic obediently clicks off the shifts, although manual shifting via a side-to-side activated shifter is standard. It's not needed however, as the autobox does a good job of reading the driver's intentions. The fully independent suspension, unusual in this class, did a good job of insulating passengers from road shocks. The full-time four-wheel-drive system provides a 50/50 torque split and makes sure that this SUV stays on track. Combined with the traction control system, grip is exceptional for a sports truck, even in damp weather. The AMG comes with outrageous 285/50R18 tires and special 5-spoke wheels housed under bulging fenders. Red brake calipers are visible through the wheels and they do an excellent job of stopping the vehicle. But pedal action was disappointing, with a soft feel that hindered the otherwise smooth operation. The other disappointment was the amount of wind noise at highway speed, making it noisier than one would expect. But after taking roads and matching speeds with Porsches, it was easy to see how this truck seemed appropriate to drive to such an exquisite, low-key show. Th e Radnor Hunt Concours was extremely successful this year, having a good turnout and perfect weather in addition to a stunning field of rare cars. The 1947 Franay-bodied Bentley Mark VI Convertible was exquisite to view. Ditto the flawless 1930 Packard 745 Derham Roadster and an awesome 1934 Riley Imp. The mouth-watering black 1958 MGA Roadster stuck in my mind. Equally hard to forget was the 1927 Bugatti Type 35C. It won the Grand Prix of Barcelona and was hidden during the Spanish Civil War, only to be rediscovered in 1962. With an exposed running gear in the cramped cockpit, this car's patina would be tough to replicate. The show this year spotlighted DuPont, a rare luxury marque that was manufactured through the early 30s. Everett DuPont was on hand, having driven his DuPont LeMans Speedster over 30 miles to the show. This is one collector who likes to drive his cars. Although proud of the car's heritage he does make one admission. "It's a chore to drive," he said reluctantly. That's one thing that can't be said of the ML55, especially inside. In true M-B fashion, the cabin gets the typical full-lux treatment. Leather and smoked wood trim afford the truck a unique feel, especially given the black interior of the test vehicle. The dash has unique black-on-white gauges trimmed in chrome. The stereo, phone pad and GPS system are all integrated into one unit. To get at the otherwise excellent audio system's cassette or CD slots, one must push a button and wait for the GPS/audio screen to lower. How long will this unit last? The dash was easy to figure out, if you're familiar with Mercedes Benz vehicles. Two minor appointments seemed glaring in their absence: The tilt wheel had to be adjusted manually, as did the climate control. Surprising given the sticker price. But this vehicle was an extremely safe one. Front and side airbags are standard, as are anti-lock four-wheel-disc brakes. This is in addition to traditional safety systems such as the Mercedes Benz Baby Smart system, which detects the presence of a child seat up front and deactivates the airbag. So this vehicle could be the one vehicle that does it all, with comfort, off-road agility and on-road performance, a rare combination to be sure. But would it be your only vehicle? It depends. For some, one vehicle is never enough. Back at the show, collector Ray Carr, with his wife, was looking over an exceptional Jaguar Mark V Drophead. "Wouldn't you rather just have one car like that rather than 25?" she asked. Carr's answer was short and sweet. "No" I'd agree. 2000 Mercedes Benz ML55

I awoke to my sister shaking my shoulders, holding me at the top of the stairs saying "Becki! Run! RUN!"
I ran down the stairs with her hot at my heels.
I had just turned 9 at the time, and while my memories of this fateful night are disjointed, they are also crystal clear.
My big sister Heidi running outside to take the car and get help.
My two big brothers running down the stairs, Cam managing his guitar, his skis, and an oil painting of him on his motorbike all under his arm, rushing out to dump his goods then right back in to be by my father's side.
My mum yells "someone grab the leash I'm going up for the dog!" and disappears back up in to the thick cloud of smoke that has engulfed the upper story of our old farm house. She returns with the dog, Stew grabs me and the dog and pulls us out to the other car.
Mum slips on the ice, twisting her wrist. The ceiling collapses as Cam and Dad struggle vainly to rescue the hand written report cards, but end up with the national geographic maps; and dad deflects a piece of lumber, burning his fingertips.
The large picture window explodes, glass and flames erupting out in to the cold Canadian Winter. We ended up gathering in the homes of our neighbours, watching as the volunteer firefighters from the next town over bravely fought to contain the flames as our house disappeared in to ash.
The next day, two men walked down the street, still in bathrobes and slippers. One we knew well, but one was new to our sleepy little hamlet of Goodwood, Ontario. The man we had never met handed us the keys to his house. His family was leaving that day for two weeks in Florida, and he wanted to allow my now-homeless family free run of his home while they were gone. Even though we had never ever met.
I use this memory to remind me that there is so much GOOD in humanity. When tragedies strike, I do find it comforting to remember this. With that in mind, with this Gin and Topics I would like to share some videos to remind us how fantastic people (and animals!) really are.
1. I am a dork. A big nerdalinger. My friend tried to convince me to go out on a Saturday night recently, and I replied "Yes, sure, maybe…but Doctor Who is on…" Why I love this show so very much- it is the triumph of intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism.
2. When I face a daunting task, I watch this. Listen to this girl prep herself for her first ski jump. I love her analysis post jump. Amazing!
3. It's a Great Dane and a Mini Pig caught snuggling! Your arguments are invalid!
4. Best Goal Ever- Kitchener, Ontario hosted the Special Hockey International tournament 2013 this year, and this clip sums up why this is such a powerful opportunity for people of all abilities. Watch both the diligence of this little player, and also the players around him that work patiently to support his success. And I dare you not to cry!
5. And, still on the hockey theme, I leave you with this little bit of inspiration. The recent events at the Boston marathon were beyond tragic. But in true American style the people of Boston picked themselves up and dusted themselves off. And they sang. They sang their hearts out. This might be the most moving rendition of The Star Spangled Banner ever.

Great story Rebecca, and love the inspiration theme of today's Gin & Topics. The great dane and pig…ADORBS!!!
yvettepistorio You can find more of Brutus and Piggy on youtube…I love them!
RebeccaTodd yvettepistorio Is this the same piglet that goes down the stairs for the oatmeal?
Erin F. RebeccaTodd yvettepistorio No, that's Hamlet! Another favourite. Hamlet has a bunch of videos up, too, but Brutus and Piggy stole my heart this week.
Rebecca Amy Todd – This is amazing and wonderful.
Rebecca, you are such a beautiful person. I love that you shared that part of your story today.
Also, that little girl … I felt so nervous for her!! One time, I jumped off a 40 ft high ravine into a river and it was TERRIFYING. I totally felt that girl's nervousness and then the success. Although, my jump ended in a fractured tailbone … What a darling!!
KateFinley Thank you Kate! I was honestly a blessing to learn so young the difference between people and stuff. Stuff can be replaced.
Yikes!!! Sorry to hear young Kate hurt herself, but I bet, knowing mature Kate, that it didn't stop her from taking risks!
KateFinley G'ah!! That's terrible!
Good! I am glad you enjoyed it Erin.
I love this! Thank you for sharing your story and for the inspiring videos.
The girl who has her first ski jump makes me think I should do a pre- and post-cap Tough Mudder video.
Erin F. YES do it!!! I would love that. I have a feeling that once you are done, it will all seem worth it. Great idea Erin!
RebeccaTodd Erin F. Great idea Erin!!
Oh RebeccaTodd this is so wonderful and so timely. We need distraction today and your incredible story, and the videos you chose, provide exactly that. Well done! And thank you.
allenmireles Excellent thank you! We were so lucky that night that we only lost stuff. My heart aches for those who have lost people this week.
RebeccaTodd allenmireles It is a crazy story – one if my WORST nightmares. Brrrrrrr.
Wow, harrowing story, well told! I hadn't watched the national anthem video — what a moment. "Rampahts" — heh!
RobBiesenbach Thanks Rob! Great to see some unity, especially with today's events.
RobBiesenbach Wasn't that amazing! Hair raising.
Wow, I had no idea about your family and the fire. I agree that there is more good than bad in the world. Not so sure that hockey a sport, to paraphrase George Carlin the only place outside of a hockey rink that you ever see a puck is at the bottom of a urinal.
Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes You kiss your mother with that mouth!!?? #hockey
belllindsay I think we ought to ask Beckett to write a post about his mom.
Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes belllindsay I'll have you know, Beckett thinks I'm the Oprah of social media. 😉
belllindsay Does that mean he wants you "off the air." 😉
Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes No. He thinks I"m fat.
belllindsay Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes HAH!!!
belllindsay Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes Ooo Josh, thems be fightin' words!
RebeccaTodd belllindsay Don Cherry is an overrated hack.
Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes RebeccaTodd belllindsay Well we all know THAT.
RebeccaTodd Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes But he's OUR overrated hack. 🙂
Uh oh, I just received hate mail from Bob and Doug Mackenzie. A
Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes Actually, my original post featured Bob and Doug, but given the events of this week, I changed my tune.
RebeccaTodd I mentioned Bob and Doug to a couple of coworkers this week and discovered they had no idea who or what I was talking about. Young hosers.
Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes RebeccaTodd Heathens! Actually, Bob and Doug coined the word Hosers- before The Great White North, neither Hosers nor Hoseheads were in the dictionary!
Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes RebeccaTodd KOOrookookookookookookoooooo!
belllindsay Joshua Wilner/A Writer Writes RebeccaTodd We do that at least once per family gathering. It's a Todd Family Rule. Like "If there are more than three Todds present, there must be a shrimp ring".
John_Trader1 Thanks, John! The post I had originally drafted seemed a little trite in the light of all that has occurred this week. You can tell a Canadian is at the helm with two hockey vids and no football, though, eh?
John_Trader1 RebeccaTodd AND we take our hats off. Jeeze that makes me mad when people don't take their hats off during the anthem.
John_Trader1 SpinSucks Thank you very much, sir!
RebeccaAmyTodd Stop with the videos that put a tear in my eye. Just stop it. 🙂
John_Trader1 If that one of the young kids in Kitchener doesn't make you cry, you are made of stone!
RebeccaAmyTodd It was my fav – reminded me of teaching pee wee lacrosse and watching them score their first goal. Unforgettable.
John_Trader1 Nice! I really love to see peer mentoring. The impact on both parties is astronomical.
belllindsay SpinSucks That RebeccaAmyTodd made me cry.
jasonkonopinski belllindsay SpinSucks Mission accomplished!
jasonkonopinski You're a pretty easy crier though. 😉 SpinSucks RebeccaAmyTodd
belllindsay True story. SpinSucks RebeccaAmyTodd
the little kid hockey player did make me cry – and the big kid hockey game already made me cry earlier this week! good ones!
karimacatherine Thanks for the share! 🙂
belllindsay My pleasure!
… the triumph of intellect and romance… Hah! Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!!
jdrobertson Hah!!! Now I do believe that the older you get, the righter you are. Even when you are wrong, you are wrong based on more information. Of course, The Doctor is over 900 years old…
RebeccaTodd jdrobertson Hah!!!! You are absolutely right in your observation once again offering proof-positive that blondes are getting a bad rap! However, may I point out: Those of us of the octogenarian persuasion (four score and seven) are protected by divine rite from ever being wrong about anything. We are protected from contradiction by church, clergy and congregation. And above all you young whippersnappers. Aside from that Ms. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?
jdrobertson RebeccaTodd I once had a discussion with my now-deceased next door neighbour. Cocky young me asked her what the greatest technological advancement in her time was, believing I knew the answer-certainly it would be tv or computers. When she replied "well, I guess it would be electricity in our home", it humbled me beyond belief. While I did not always agree with her conclusions, that woman, even when incorrect, knew a hell of a lot more about EVERYTHING than I did. She passed finally at 99, and I only wish I had spent more time cataloging more of what she KNEW, right or wrong.
RebeccaTodd jdrobertson Surely the joy of learning is truly a wondrous thing! Your line … based on more information…. has already been plagiarized in my computer for use in my next paper. Yesterday, I thought I'd show off for a group of kids who were playing with a yo-yo. I ended up spending the next hour with them teaching me a couple of tricks I'd never seen before. I can fly a kite too. Better than those smart-aleck yo-yo sharks. So there!
jdrobertson RebeccaTodd Caveat- not my line! From the new Louis C.K. special Oh My God! This link is probably NSFW… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXcWeFn-YYM
RebeccaTodd jdrobertson I'm sure you meant caveat emptor –
jdrobertson RebeccaTodd In this case, not so, more of a general warning than a purchase specific one. I like the words Caveat in general, and use it to form all sorts of faux-Latinisms like "Caveat Fragro!" but both of my parents speak Latin, so in my household growing up, we gleaned a few random words.
Good of you to share your story, Rebecca. The hockey videos…awesome, thanks.
Word Ninja Thanks for stopping by! I just can't get enough of peer-to-peer mentoring… the teacher in me I guess. So great to see these two buds working hard for that goal!
RebeccaTodd Yes! Love to see that, too. I've taught college, and I volunteer (creative writing workshops) at the local teen center; it's great to witness those moments.
Word Ninja RebeccaTodd Wow amazing! Thank you for your volunteering efforts! When that light flips on…so exciting!
Thanks for sharing a very personal, powerful story… and also demonstrating how to use a personal narrative and yet have it ultimately not be just about you. Nicely done.
As to the videos, I particularly like the young skier's post analysis, which applies nicely to much of life… I won't quote it to avoid spoiling the payoff.
creativeoncall Thank you very much Chuck! Yes- the clip of the little skier is just so amazing. And I agree- it is the post jump analysis that really make it all worth it!
Great story from your childhood RebeccaTodd . Thanks for sharing and for the inspiration.
spinchick RebeccaTodd Thank you! Maybe it makes me a Pollyanna but I really do think that human beings are fantastic.
That was an awesome post. But you know me, I do love a story well told.
ExtremelyAvg Thank you very much Brian! The first draft seemed rather…trite after the events of the week. I hope this was suitable.
Awww, that was awesome @Rebecca Amy Todd How great was your neighbour to lend you a home? It just goes to show you how giving people really are when given the opportunity. Great selections. Love, love, love the little pig.

Reduce what you can, [carbon] offset what you can't
It is nearly impossible for even the most energy-efficient and sustainable organizations to completely avoid activities that result in emissions which negatively impact the environment. Enter carbon offsets. They provide organizations with a meaningful way to balance out their emissions and meet their sustainability goals.
When you work with 3Degrees, we'll deliver a just-right carbon offset product that meets your needs — sourcing high-quality, third-party verified carbon offsets from carbon reduction projects that matter to you. Interested in sustainable forestry projects in the Pacific Northwest? Or biogas projects from farms within your state? We can help. Trying to qualify for LEED points? We can help with that too. See, we've been in this business for a long time. In fact, 3Degrees has purchased and committed to over three million tons of carbon offsets — all in the name of building a better world.
Carbon offsets: A Simple Balancing Act
Carbon offsets enable organizations to reduce their environmental impact by supporting projects that reduce, absorb or prevent carbon and other emissions from entering the atmosphere. A carbon offset is created when one ton of greenhouse gas is captured, avoided or destroyed in order to compensate for an equivalent emission made. By purchasing carbon offsets, your organization will not only lower their carbon footprint, but you will provide carbon reduction projects with revenue that helps make them economically viable.
Common Project Technologies
Earn LEED Points
Interested in earning LEED points to achieve the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Power & Carbon Offset Credit? Our 3Degrees LEED-accredited experts can help. We've enabled hundreds of green building projects around the world to reduce the environmental impact of their energy use through REC and carbon offset purchases — all while earning LEED points.
When you work with 3Degrees, you'll get more than you bargained for (in a good way):
- Access to high-quality Green-e® Energy certified RECs and Green-e® Climate certified carbon offsets
- Expert LEED-accredited professionals who walk you through the purchase process — start to finish
- Fast LEED quotes and prompt contracting and settlement
- Comprehensive REC and carbon offset purchase documentation for LEED submission
Carbon offset partners
Carbon Standards
We source carbon offsets that are third-party verified using objective carbon offset standards. What does this mean? It means the carbon offset products that we sell at 3Degrees are guaranteed to produce real, measurable and permanent results that make an impact.
We're proud to work with the following carbon offset registries:
Product Certification & Quality
Carbon offsets are independently audited under programs such as Green-e® Climate, offered by the Center for Resource Solutions.
Green-e® Climate is an independent certification program for carbon offsets sold in the voluntary market. The Green-e® Climate logo identifies carbon offsets that meet the program's high environmental and consumer protection standards. At 3Degrees, we support the Center for Resource Solutions in their mission to provide transparency, reliability and customer protection with regards to carbon offset purchases.
We offer Green-e® Climate certified carbon offsets sourced from landfill gas projects registered on the Climate Action Reserve.

Provisions Have Implications for US, Global Businesses
Starting on July 1, 2014, key provisions of Canada's Anti-Spam Law (CASL) governing commercial electronic messages (CEMs) will go into effect, per our advisory thoroughly analyzing CASL. The statute and its implementing rules generally prohibit sending CEMs without the recipient's express consent, and as noted in the advisory, extend far beyond just email, reaching CEMs sent to instant message and social network accounts, as well as short message service (SMS) texts to cellphones. And, CASL governs CEMs sent from or accessed by domestic computer systems, meaning the law's provisions will extend far beyond Canada's borders and affect CEMs sent from other countries, including the United States.
Additional provisions of CASL take effect in the coming years. Sections of the law related to unsolicited installations of computer programs or software come into force January 15, 2015, and CASL's private right of action takes effect July 1, 2017. Our advisory provides more information regarding CASL's scope, exceptions, and enforcement powers, as well as how it will affect domestic and foreign businesses with interests in Canada. Compliance measures by those potentially subject to CASL should be well underway, but with a month to go, there is still time to review the law and take action where necessary.

Roadkill Survey
This map shows where ASC volunteers have recorded roadkill sightings.
Roads are a common cause of death for wildlife species.
The ASC Roadkill Survey recruits cyclists and runners to record roadkill observations in an effort to research and reduce animal-vehicle collisions.
This data helps our partner scientist at the University of California-Davis Road Ecology Center study the following:
Ultimately, this project aims to bring together ecology researchers and transportation policy makers to re-design transportation systems based on an understanding of how roads affect natural landscapes.

I take these as eye protection, recommended by a whole-health therapist, and because I had an eye operation several years ago when a retina started to loosen. I've had no problems, and I can only assume the Rutin helps.

Rutin (for my Cat)
Posted by Reviewer2800314 on Aug 26, 2008
I purchased this product for my cat at the suggestion of my vet. I crush it up with my mortar and pestle and put it in her wet food. Her condition (fluid in the thorax) seems to be improving since I've been giving the Rutin to her. My order from iHerb was super-quick and the Rutin is very fresh. I would recommend iHerb.com to anyone looking for good quality herbs for whatever purpose. Thanks so much !!!!

Mercyhurst poll: Obama holds 8-point lead in Pa.
Pennsylvania's reputation as a swing state could be in jeopardy.
That's one conclusion that can be drawn from a newly released poll of likely voters statewide, conducted by Mercyhurst University's Mercyhurst Center for Applied Politics.
The other conclusion is that Pennsylvania voters are leaning toward President Barack Obama, who enjoys a comfortable lead over Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
The poll of 522 likely voters, conducted Sept. 12-20, found that 48 percent of likely voters in Pennsylvania supported Obama, compared with 40 percent for Romney.
The poll showing Obama in the lead marks the continuation of a long and growing trend.
Pennsylvania, long considered a political swing state, has voted for Democratic candidates in each of the past five presidential elections, including 1992.
Erie County has been leaning left even longer.
In fact, Erie County voters haven't gone for a Republican presidential candidate since 1984, when they, along with the majority of voters from 49 states, chose Ronald Reagan over Walter Mondale.
Can Pennsylvania still be considered a swing state?
"The jury is still out on that," said Joseph Morris, director of the Mercyhurst center.
"After this election, we will have to decide whether Pennsylvania is still a purple state, or whether it's blue," he said, referring to the color that represents a Democrat-dominated state.
For now, Morris said he would characterize the president's lead as comfortable.
But it's not insurmountable, Morris said, explaining that events or even the upcoming debates could help shift the balance.
"Six weeks is an eternity," he said.
What does seem clear is only a small share of prospective voters are in a mood to be swayed.
"We have only 6 percent of likely voters in Pennsylvania say they are unsure about how they will vote. It's a relatively small number," Morris said.
Another set of numbers suggest few voters expect to change their minds. Morris said 91 percent of both Romney and Obama supporters feel very confident of how they will vote.
In a state that has elected two Republicans among its last four elected governors and maintains strong Republican majorities in both houses of the General Assembly, Pennsylvania's recent presidential votes can be difficult to understand, Morris said.
"It may have to do with the issues we are facing at home, and that we favor a Republican approach to solving them," he said.
The findings of the Mercyhurst poll, conducted by trained Mercyhurst students, are generally consistent with those of other statewide polls.
Despite the gap, Morris said he believes the race remains fluid.
The debates, he said, are among several factors that could shape the outcome.
"In close races, having those candidates on the stage can really be important in voters' minds," he said.
JIM MARTIN can be reached at 870-1668 or by e-mail.

KABUL, Afghanistan - Dozens of international aid workers evacuated Kabul on Wednesday as Afghan residents panicked over what they thought might be a U.S. strike, racing into the streets at the sound of fighter jets swooping low over the capital.
"Is it from America?" asked one person as the roar rattled windows. Another said, "I think maybe it is an American jet."
But the fighter jet belonged to the ruling Taliban religious militia and headed north toward opposition territory.
Still, fear is close to the surface here.
It is felt by everyone in the beleaguered Afghan capital and has been since Tuesday, when deadly terrorist attacks in the United States launched speculation that suspected Saudi terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden - who has lived in Afghanistan since 1996 under the protection of the Taliban - may have been involved.
The Taliban demanded Wednesday to see evidence backing allegations that bin Laden runs a global terrorism network responsible for the airborne strikes on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
"We will study their evidence first. This is the first phase. The question of extradition comes later," Abdul Salam Zaeef, the Taliban's ambassador to Pakistan, told a news conference in Islamabad. He did not say what the Taliban would do if presented with what they consider to be compelling evidence.
The Taliban, who espouse a harsh brand of fundamentalist Islam in the roughly 95 percent of Afghanistan under their control, have always insisted that the United States provide evidence against bin Laden before they would agree to act against him in any way.
The presence of bin Laden, referred to here as "the Guest," upsets many Afghans and has led to U.N. sanctions against their country, but the Taliban have refused to hand him over to the United States for prosecution on charges of masterminding the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in East Africa that killed 231 people, including 219 Africans and 12 Americans.
In August 1998, in retaliation for the embassy bombings, Washington sent 70 Tomahawk cruise missiles smashing into eastern Afghanistan. Bin Laden escaped unhurt.
On Wednesday, most international aid workers, including all but four of the 80 U.N. staff in Afghanistan, left the country. The United Nations sent in three emergency flights, and more flights will arrive today to take the four remaining U.N. employees to neighboring Pakistan.
The disheartened parents of two American aid workers being held here will also be aboard the U.N. aircraft today. In addition to the two U.S. aid workers, six other foreign nationals are being held, accused by the Taliban of preaching Christianity in this deeply devout Muslim nation.
John Mercer, the father of Heather Mercer, 24, and Nancy Cassell, the mother of Dayna Curry, 29, will leave the Afghan capital more than two weeks after they first arrived here to be close to their children. Heather's mother, Deborah Oddy, and her husband, Delbert Oddy, from Lewiston, N.Y., arrived Sunday.
John Mercer had refused to leave, along with three Western diplomats from the United States, Australia and Germany. But instructions, apparently from their respective governments, were received late Wednesday, ordering them to vacate, U.N. officials said.
The remainder of the international relief community is also leaving today.

I like the glock platform, and am interested in a 9mm target pistol. I cant see much difference in the two. whats up?

Just with a quick check to the Glock website the 34 has an extended barrel, greater slide dimensions and long distance between the sights.
Apparently the 34 is supposed to be used for competition/target shooting, so that would probably be a good bet for you.
February 26, 2009, 02:53 PM
The 17L has a 6-inch barrel, instead of a 5 3/8-inch barrel; the longer sight radius makes it a bit easier to aim, but in some competitions, it can bump you into or out of certain classes.
February 26, 2009, 03:01 PM
I've owned both, prefer the 17L.
It's only .8" longer, so there won't be any real difference in performance. If you have any ambitions of competition or carry, the 34 fits that bill much better.
Sight radius is a non issue with those barrel lengths.
February 26, 2009, 03:03 PM
In the description section of this page they explain a little about the .8" longer reasoning: http://www.janes.com/extracts/extract/jiw/jiw_0018.html

...I missed it here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?p=2790294
February 26, 2009, 05:28 PM
IIRC, the 34 was the replacement for the 17L. (I have a 35, btw)
February 26, 2009, 05:32 PM
here's a pic of my 17L (actually a G24 w/ 9mm KKM conversion barrel), G34, and G17. all have the same frame, just different slide/barrel lengths.
February 26, 2009, 10:48 PM
Thanks. i asked because the shop has both the 34 and the 17L, and both are new.

The Pizza Man Back for Another Million
Midwest Thoroughbreds' homebred The Pizza Man will look to become the first horse to win the Arlington Million (gr. IT) back-to-back Aug. 13, but will have to pick up his recent form to do so.
Midwest Thoroughbreds' homebred The Pizza Man will look to become the first horse to win the Arlington Million (gr. IT) back-to-back Aug. 13, but will have to pick up his recent form to do so.
Midwest Thoroughbreds' The Pizza Man, in preparation for his next start July 9, worked a half-mile July 2 at Arlington International Racecourse.
Should his performance at Churchill Downs on Saturday evening be a good one, trainer Roger Brueggemann would send the horse to Arlington once more for a defense of his Arlington Million (gr. IT) title.
Jockey Jose Ortiz and trainer Rudy Rodriguez wrapped up Aqueduct Racetrack's 19-day spring season April 24 with their second and third straight meet titles, respectively, while Midwest Thoroughbreds was the leading owner.
Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots closed its 144th racing season March 27 with Florent Geroux, Mike Stidham, and Midwest Thoroughbreds taking the respective jockey, trainer, and owner titles.
One of the most successful partnerships in Thoroughbred racing, that of Midwest Thoroughbreds and trainer Jamie Ness, ended quietly with a phone call the week of Feb. 15.
The road to the $350,000 Tampa Bay Derby (gr. II) begins locally Dec. 19 when 2-year-olds face off in the $100,000 Inaugural Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs. The Saturday card features two other stakes.
Midwest Thoroughbreds' well-traveled grade I winner The Pizza Man has taken up residence at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots to prepare for a 2016 campaign that could include a trip to Dubai.
Apprentice jockey Lane Luzzi, son of veteran New York rider Mike Luzzi, won his first race Dec. 4 when he rode Midwest Thoroughbreds' Flo's Strawberry in Laurel Park's third race.
The Pizza Man, coming off a good fifth-place finish last out in the Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT), proved too much for his Hollywood Turf Cup (gr. IIT) field, easily capturing the Nov. 26 race in which he was third a year ago.
Well-travelled The Pizza Man will make his way back to the West Coast for the $250,000 Hollywood Turf Cup (gr. IIT) Nov. 26 at Del Mar.
A minor lung infection will keep Midwest Thoroughbreds' homebred Arlington Million (gr. IT) winner stateside.
Rejuvenated from a six-month winter/spring Florida vacation, The Pizza Man has come back remarkably strong this season and is now on-track to face Europe's best runner in the Longines Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT).
The order wasn't especially demanding for The Pizza Man Oct. 23, as the Arlington Million (gr. IT) winner cruised through an easy breeze on the Churchill Downs turf in preparation for the Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT)
Work All Week, the champion male sprinter of 2014 and winner of last year's Xpressbet Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I), has been retired because of a stress fracture in his right knee.

Canterbury Park reported increases in pari-mutuel handle, purses, and attendance for its 2015 meet that ended Sept. 12.

The Laurel Park's winter meeting ended March 29 with apprentice jockey Trevor McCarthy taking the jockey title and four conditioners sharing the trainer title.

Daniel Ricciardo can't wait to get back behind the wheel of an F1 car at Albert Park
- From: AAP
- January 16, 2013
Daniel Ricciardo is preparing himself for a close shave even before the new Formula 1 season gets under way in two months' time.
While on holiday in his Australian homeland over the past few weeks, Ricciardo has not only let his hair down, but also decided to grow a beard.
The 23-year-old is due to leave Australia later this week and head to the Toro Rosso factory in Faenza for a seat fitting prior to making a number of personal appearances in the UK.
Ricciardo appreciates he will have to lose the beard beforehand.
"It will come off. I've been living the beach lifestyle and haven't been bothered to pick up a razor in a while.
"I'll get rid of it. I've got to look young again," he said before jokingly adding: "It's been nice to let it grow and prove I'm a man."
Ricciardo has also confirmed the team are "on schedule" to take part in the first test early next month.
Although Toro Rosso have yet to announce a launch date for the STR8, Ricciardo has revealed he will be in the car on the opening day of the test in Jerez.
"I'm in constant contact. Now the fun is over it's back into business mode, getting some info as to how it's all looking," said Ricciardo, via video link on the team's official website.
Like any driver at this time of year, and after returning to full time training a fortnight ago, Ricciardo is itching to get behind the wheel for the opening race in Australia on March 17.
"I've got the holiday spirit out of my system, enjoyed a good time in Australia," added Ricciardo.
"Since I've been training, all my friends are back at work, so it feels like we're back in business and ready to go.
"Training's fun, I enjoy it, but I enjoy nothing more than driving a car. That's the best training we get.
"So I'd like Melbourne to come around quickly. Testing's all right, but racing's better."

De La Hoya Meets Arum at His House For Peace
Despite an ongoing internal conflict within his company, BoxingScene.com has been advised that on Thursday Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya traveled over to the Beverly Hills home of Bob Arum, the CEO of Top Rank, to make peace and hopefully work towards a business relationship in the future.
"I did go up to his house to make peace with him," De La Hoya said. "I told him, 'Look, this meeting is not a business meeting. Let's bury the hatchet. And who knows, maybe down the road we can work together.' Top Rank is a major player in the boxing industry and Golden Boy is the player in the boxing industry. So why not get the two powerhouses together and make the fights that the fans want to see?"
De La Hoya, and Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, are at odds over having a working relationship with Arum. Schaefer, who doesn't mind if De La Hoya makes peace with his former promoter, has no interest in ever working with Arum again. The two companies have not promoted a fight together in five years.
Some believe the internal dispute will result in Schaefer parting ways with Golden Boy, but De La Hoya makes it clear that he wants him to remain with the company.
"I keep hearing rumors that Richard is going to get fired," De La Hoya said. "That's not the case. I want him to stay. There's no reason that he should be thinking that. I want him to stay."
For his part, Arum believes the two promotional entities could certainly work together if De La Hoya takes over business operations of Golden Boy.
"We've met and spoken but I'm not going to go into what we've spoken about," Arum said. "I would certainly say that none of this nonsense of Cold War and 'I won't deal with this guy' - none of that will prevail if Oscar takes over the company. There will be no animosity between the two companies."
Hoya will learn a lot spending time with the master in the business. The old veteran in the sport won't be around for long so he better stay in touch as often as he can.Comment by Risen on 05-03-2014

I agree with Schaefer, I think this is apart of Oscar's 12 step addiction recovery program but whatever the reason maybe I hope they put aside their differences not just for the sake of boxing but for DLH.Comment by TLC8 on 05-03-2014
I truly believe Oscar and Arum wanted to patch things up for the right reasons. For idiots to read more into it, and orchestrate your theories, confirms "fans" like you are part of the problem; you're drama driven. Schaefer can…Comment by King_ on 05-03-2014
