He smiled and took a bite out of the second hot dog. "Hey, you could always come along with me! Only issue is that it's pretty dangerous, and it's not easy for me to protect both myself and someone else." He chuckled. "If not, you may not see me again... I'm only stopping here to rest for a few days... After that, I'm travelling again. Besides, I can't stay in one place for too long, because trouble will find me, and I don't want anyone else to get caught up in that trouble."

A European envoy held out a possible compromise in a fight with China over carbon emissions charges on airlines, saying Wednesday that Europe might alter its system if Beijing helps negotiate global regulations. China, India, the United States and Russia oppose the European Union charges that took effect Jan. 1. Beijing has barred its carriers from cooperating and has suspended purchases of European aircraft. Talks on a global system have begun in the International Civil Aviation Organization, a U.N. body, said Matthew Baldwin, director of aviation for the 27-nation EU.

The Bureau of Land Management has notified the White House of its intention to regulate methane emissions from coal mines on public land. A pre-rule notice to the White House Office of Management and Budget said BLM is considering proposing rules "concerning the capture, sale or destruction of waste mine methane." The agency said its goal is to comply with executive and secretarial orders requiring the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Houston-based Waste Management Inc. has introduced eight natural gas-fueled transfer trailers at its El Sobrante Landfill in Corona. Transfer trailers are used to move trash from surrounding communities to the landfill. The trailers are the first of their kind at the landfill, with better fuel efficiency and near-zero emissions, according to a news release. The trucks and trailers are part of the company's goal of reducing fleet emissions by 15 percent by 2020. Earlier this year the Corona landfill invested in a diesel-and-electric hybrid bulldozer. About 80 percent of Waste Management collection trucks serving Western Riverside County run on compressed or liquid natural gas, the company said.

Britain announced plans Tuesday to finance a new generation of nuclear power plants and renewable energy facilities, in a move that illustrates the differences in energy policies among European Union countries as the bloc grapples with the challenge of reconciling economic and environmental objectives. While Germany intends to phase out nuclear power, and France's new president, François Hollande, says he hopes to reduce his country's reliance on it, the British government appears to be moving in the opposite direction with its proposals, which are intended to attract $175 billion in investment to build new reactors and renewable energy plants.

Critics question city's commitment to renewable energy. Despite promising to install solar panels on as many municipal buildings as possible, including City Hall and Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco has not awarded contracts for solar projects in nearly three years. The city has attributed much of the delay to a labor issue that has taken two years to resolve. But some critics argue that the city has allowed bids for such projects to languish, at the expense of both green jobs and climate change initiatives.

The Natural Resources Defense Council says the document on the proposed football stadium failed to fully analyze traffic-related health risks. An environmental group that has supported a proposed downtown Los Angeles football stadium and helped the developer secure special treatment in the courts issued a sharply worded critique Tuesday of environmental documents prepared for the project. Posted. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-0523-me-nfl-stadium-20120523,0,3843572.story Stiffer pavement can drive up fuel efficiency – study. Getting better fuel economy isn't just about the type of car and how it's driven; it's also about what the car is driven on, according to a new study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Research produced by MIT's Concrete Sustainability Hub found that using stiffer pavement on roads across the United States could reduce fuel consumption by up to 3 percent. Those savings could amount to using 273 million fewer barrels of crude oil per year, valued at $15.6 billion at today's oil prices, and decrease carbon dioxide emissions by 46.5 million metric tons.

Re "Exclusion of hydro is foolish" (Dan Walters, May 21): The Renewable Portfolio Standard is not "foolish" because it excludes large hydroelectric facilities. This definition of renewables has been used since passage of the Private Power Producers Act in 1976 where large hydroelectric is defined as "conventional generation." Since then, California's policy has been to encourage a diverse portfolio of renewable energy resources.

Re "Shouldn't hydro count against the carbon reduction mandate?" (Dan Walters, May 21): Excluding large hydroelectric dams from California's renewable energy goals is good public policy. For example, allowing Hoover Dam, which was built in the 1930s, to count toward the renewable energy goals of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power would prevent hundreds of new jobs from being created and it would dilute the overall effectiveness of a policy that is designed to spur the development of technologies, like solar and wind, that have a real future in our state.

It is discouraging to see our state's landmark law on climate and clean energy, the 2006 Global Warming Solutions Act (AB32), under attack again. The investment and innovation unleashed by AB32 is creating jobs and is spurring transformation of our buildings, vehicles, lighting and energy generation systems to run cleaner, smarter and more efficiently. While the law continues to enjoy broad public support, you would not know that if you listened to those who would keep our state addicted to the dirty ways of the past.

Roofs, like coffee, used to be black tar. Now both have gone gourmet: for roofs, the choices are white, green, blue and solar-panel black. All are green in one sense. In different ways, each helps to solve serious environmental problems. One issue is air pollution, which needs no introduction. The second is the urban heat island. Because cities have lots of dark surfaces that absorb heat and relatively little green cover, they tend to be hotter than surrounding areas — the average summer temperature in NewYork City is more than 7 degrees hotter than in the Westchester suburbs.

Since April, the environmental organization Greenpeace has had a bull's-eye on Apple in its campaign to clean up the Internet "Cloud" that stores our music, apps, and photos.

A FRENCH-AUSTRALIAN reporter held for two weeks for taking unauthorised photos in Baghdad has appeared before an Iraqi judge for the first time, looking dishevelled but in good health, an AFP journalist says.
Nadir Dendoune, who also holds Algerian nationality, was arrested last month in the south of the capital for allegedly taking photos of security installations without a permit, and a judge is set to decide soon whether he should be released or charged with an offence.
Dressed in a jacket and jeans, the journalist appeared handcuffed at the Central Criminal Court of Iraq in Baghdad's heavily-fortified Green Zone, unshaved and visibly thin.
"Trying to keep in good spirits is not so simple," Dendoune told AFP briefly, speaking in French. "But I am being treated well at the moment."
In a 30-minute hearing which took place with French embassy officials in attendance, the reporter "was coherent, but quite weak", according to a witness who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The judge handling the case, who cannot be named under Iraqi law, told AFP he would "carefully consider (Dendoune's) testimony."
"We will keep him in custody until the investigation is complete," he said, but declined to say how long Dendoune would be held.
A judicial source said when Dendoune was arrested on January 23, he was carrying a camera with which he took photographs of offices of Iraq's intelligence services, police and army.
Journalists in Baghdad are required to seek prior approval from the capital's security command centre in order to take photographs at checkpoints and of members of the security forces.
Dendoune's lawyer Naama al-Rubaye, however, argued that Dendoune was simply "exercising his journalistic duties. He had no intention of breaking the law."
"We have asked for his release," he added.
The reporter was visiting Iraq to compile a series of stories on the upcoming 10th anniversary of the US-led invasion of the country for French monthly magazine Le Monde Diplomatique.

If the ANC's message was brutal, it was also necessary and in its way democratic. The party was saying it had grown tired of the president's arrogance, his aloofness, the way he centralised power, surrounded himself with a small clique of boyars and alienated himself from the grassroots. As one delegate put it, Mbeki won the government but lost the party.
Mr Mbeki may have lost his bid to be re-elected leader of his party. His power to influence the party's choice of candidate for the presidential elections has declined, if not withered, as a result. But neither mean that Mr Zuma is a shoo-in as South Africa's next president. True, it is quite a comeback for the man who only last year was acquitted of raping a family friend. But not all the anti-Mbeki feeling swirling around the marquee in the grounds of the University of Limpopo is automatically pro-Zuma. Mr Zuma may be a device for getting rid of Mr Mbeki, but once deployed, a section of his vote will want to have another look at the man it nominates as presidential candidate.
Mr Zuma will enjoy substantial powers of patronage as party leader, not least over the ANC's MPs in parliament, who could bring forward the date of the presidential elections. But Mr Mbeki remains the country's president until 2009 and will want to hang on to every minute of his expiring mandate. It gives him enough time to revive corruption charges against Mr Zuma, which are being considered by the National Prosecuting Authority. The only question is which comes first: the election or the next trial.
Zuma loyalists began yesterday to play down the differences between a Mbeki and a Zuma presidency. And it is true that, despite the contrasts between the character and education of both men, they may not be that different in policy. Mr Zuma, backed by trade unions and the communist party, will worry market analysts. But even if Mr Zuma as president paid more than lip service to re-distribution, South Africa would remain a market economy. Its policies on Aids might get tougher. Mr Zuma has called for Aids and crime to be treated as national emergencies, even though his personal habits may fall short of this goal. He testified at his trial that he had unprotected sex with an HIV-positive woman and then took a shower in the belief that it would protect him from the virus. A Zuma presidency - with its links to trade unions - might be less tolerant of Robert Mugabe's tyranny in Zimbabwe.
That, for the moment, is for the future. The ANC still has to navigate its way through the uncharted waters of a bitter split in its ranks. Even if Mr Zuma manages to shrug off corruption charges, South Africa deserves a better choice than a dubious populist as its leader. Mr Zuma has shown he can whip up a frenzy of support. That is a long way from being able to give his country the leadership it deserves. The first two presidents of a free South Africa have seen their country grow richer and stronger - if not fairer. South Africa's choice of its third will shape a continent whose hopes and potential have repeatedly been destroyed by bad leadership of the sort Jacob Zuma appears to offer.
· This article was amended on Monday December 24 2007. When we said that the ANC still had to navigate its way through "unchartered" waters we meant to say "uncharted". This has been corrected.

Lindsay Lohan Is Just an Innocent Victim
Lindsay Lohan is back in LA after her trip to NY, and she wasted no time hitting the town and grabbing dinner at Nobu last night. She caused a stir earlier in the week when she used Twitter to accuse Justin Timberlake of cheating, but the starlet is already backtracking. She said, "I would not discuss my personal life, let alone someone else's, on the Internet! Clearly! Twitter needs to fix their s--t. I didn't write 'jb cheater!' What does that even mean? It's annoying." This isn't the first time LL has had issues with a social networking site, but it doesn't seem to stop her from trying them all out.

Orgel late show sends Fortune through
A dramatic last-gasp strike from Dan Orgel steered Temple Fortune A to an exhilarating victory in east London to set up a quarter-final clash against Redbridge Jewish Care.
A dramatic last-gasp strike from Dan Orgel steered Temple Fortune A to an exhilarating victory in east London to set up a quarter-final clash against Redbridge Jewish Care.
The former Redbridge marksman found the net with time running out after Woodford had scored the goal that most fans believed would take the tie into extra time.
Fortune, wearing their change colours of green and white stripes and green shorts, looked the better team in the first half and Woodford goalkeeper Elliot Gold was the busier from the start.
Watched by MSFL Chairman David Wolff, the opening goal came on 32 minutes when Orgel picked up Kane Gilbery's pass to expertly clip the ball past Gold and into the corner of the net.
With Fortune on top, a second goal arrived after 38 minutes and what a goal it was. Kane Gilbery was fouled just outside the left side of the Woodford penalty area and up stepped Michael Goldberg to sumptuously crack a 20-yarder high into the right hand corner - a free-kick David Beckham would have drooled over.
Gold made numerous saves throughout to keep Woodford in the tie and they were given a lifeline a minute from the interval when Fortune debutant 'keeper Bentley Levy brought down Paul Biller as he attempted to round him. James Ryan got to his feet and scored to Levy's right.
Paul Hyams' teamtalk clearly lifted the Wanderers who came out fighting in the second half and forced Fortune on to the back foot. Gold continued to impress throughout the second half making save after save and give the team hope.
Captain for the day Adam 'Igor' Poole attempted to lift the team and in the dying minutes commanded his troops to throw everything at it.
Woodford missed a glorious chance to equalise when a shot was blazed over the bar from close range, whilst Orgel should have scored a couple and Goldberg was denied what looked like a penalty when fouled from behind as he attempted to shoot just inside the penalty area.
With 92 minutes on the clock, a Woodford corner found Martin 'Gazidas' Sales who, courtesy of a diving header, found the smallest gapped at the far post. To what the fans (Melvin Marks) were saying, "the magic of the cup," the celebrations where bigger than when Will Smith saved the world on Independence Day. Woodford could now once again see there name in the draw for the next round.
Extra time was looming as Woodford certainly looked like the team with impetus thanks to their late equaliser. But drama was to follow in the last minute as Fortune went up the other end, Josh Marks flicking through to Orgel who outpaced Poole, took the ball wide to the right and superbly fired home, creating jubilant scenes amongst the Fortune players and spectators. Such was the euphoria, the injured Josh Tiano's explosive celebrations gave him severe cramp which took a while to quell – what a painful way to celebrate the winner!
So ended a thrilling hard-fought cup tie which sent Temple Fortune into a mouth-watering quarter-final against Premier Division Redbridge next month.
Jubilant Fortune manager manager Lee Fegan said: "Overall, it's been a determined and hard-working display by the team in a tough tie which was well-refereed by Tony McEvoy.
"When heads could have dropped by their equaliser, the lads rolled up their sleeves and grabbed a tremendous winner.
"We had expected an onslaught in the second half after the penalty had given them a lift, but just for our work level and effort alone I feel we deserved to win.
"Special mention to Scott Kay and Josh Gilbery who were absolutely brilliant. And I cannot ignore Dan Orgel's finishing – top class! I'm very proud that we've reached the club's first CA Cup quarter-final for years so a big well done to the lads."
A Woodford source told JC Sport: "This game was a proper cup tie battled out by two good teams. Woodford were graceful in defeat and we wish Fortune all the best in the near future.
"The game almost sent two Woodford players into retirement after pictures appeared on Facebook of them hanging up their boots. Before chairman and manager convinced them to rethink the decision mainly due to them not getting a refund on subs."

Ted Leonsis gave an hour-long talk on Wednesday at the National Press Club, and colleague Michael Lee over at Wizards Insider was kind enough to transcribe some of the owner's comments.
Here are some excerpts:
On how he views these Capitals as a generational team with a 10 to 15 year window.
"Last year, the under-reported story of our team was how many young players joined our team, when the year before, we had the most points in the regular season and we changed things up. We probably took steps back because we brought in so many players.
"I'm sure young players will make our team this year. I do think, our young players that form our core, led by Alex Ovechkin. It's their time now. They are not even in their prime.
"The team will make the playoffs, as I promised, 10 to 15 years in a row. There is a 10 to 15 year horizon. Woody Allen said, half of success in life is showing. Well, you've got to make the playoffs in order to compete for the Cup."
On why he decided to keep Coach Bruce Boudreau around despite the Captals' second-round playoff loss in a sweep by Tampa Bay:
"You can never make it in any business, on emotional decisions, right after something bad happens. We're not happy that we don't have playoff success. Analytically, the coach has a fantastic record. I think the best record in the NHL during the regular season during his tenure. That's a pretty strong statement.
"At the same time, our team hasn't gone deep enough into the playoffs. So we have to look, as franchise, as the protector of the asset, on would be better off as a franchise, changing a player, firing a coach? And its not an emotional reaction. It just can't be done. Through the analytics, we thought, it's better to keep the team and the franchise and the continuity together and see how we do this year. That's how we came to that."
Leonsis was also asked about Washington hosting the Winter Classic. He talked about how he joked on Comcast that he would host it at the Kastles stadium, but said he doesn't know when or where it would happen.
At the end of Leonsis's talk, the National Press Club presented him with a mug. He joked, "Not exactly the cup I was expecting."

Sri Lanka has scrapped its national anthem's minority Tamil language version, a move that may add to the country's ethnic tensions after a bloody decades-long civil war.
Public Administration Minister John Seneviratne said Monday the Cabinet decided only the original Sinhalese-language version of the song should be sung publicly.
Sri Lanka's constitution recognizes the version sung in Sinhala, the language spoken by the country's ethnic majority. But it is ambiguous about the Tamil version.
"There is only one national anthem which is constitutionally recognized," Seneviratne said.
The decision could further divide a nation that has just emerged from a 25-year civil war that claimed at least 80,000 lives.
The Tamil-language anthem has been sung in Tamil schools and public offices in Tamil-majority areas for nearly 60 years, constitutional lawyer Jayampathy Wickramaratne said.
Tamils have long complained of systematic marginalization by ethnic Sinhalese-controlled governments in language use, jobs and education.
Suresh Premachandran, a lawmaker from the Tamil National Alliance party, said the decision imposes an unfamiliar language on the Tamil people.
"This will only widen the gap between the Tamil and Sinhala people," he said. "We are urging the government to withdraw this (decision)."
Sri Lankan troops defeated the Tamil Tiger rebels last year, ending the country's civil war, but the government has yet to follow up on its promises of equality and power-sharing.

WELDON � Authorities in Halifax County are investigating the shooting death of a 2-year-old girl inside a home.
Police told local media outlets that officers were called at around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday after someone reported shots being fired into a house.
Officers say a 2-year-old girl was killed. Police Chief Mark Macon says a 54-year-old woman inside the home was also injured and was in critical condition at a local hospital.
Hours before the girl's death, a teenager was wounded in another shooting outside Weldon. Authorities are still investigating both shootings and have not said if they are related.

I went in for scans on Friday last week. I have an appointment on Thursday this week to review results. Well, no waiting until Thursday. My onc just called with results. Three tumors showing up on MRI near spot of last resection done Feb 7 2014.
He is going to review with the surgeon.
He is not sure what the recommendation will be. It may be to do another liver resection ASAP. Or possibly to do chemo first then resection. Or possibly to do some other treatment like obaltion (spelling).
Craig once told me that this is a marathon. And after six surgeries, 24 chemo treatments, and now dealing with another challenge.... Well it reallyl is a marathon.
The good news is other organs are clear...
I feel really bad for my poor wife. Her first husband died from bone cancer. Her father just entered hospice care for pancreatic cancer. And now we need to deal with my reoccurence as well.
Aug 12, 2014 - 2:54 pm
You know what they say, 'third times a charm' which means, all will be well.
I know the gut-wreching feeling you experience when the bad news comes in, and my heart goes out to you.
I pray they will jump on it quickly, now that they have the results from your scans.
I had an Ablation in April, which is a whole lot easier recovery than a resection. So, if the tumours are small enough, I hope that is a possibility for you.
Good luck! You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Aug 12, 2014 - 3:55 pm
Waiting for the results are always hard but then when the doctor calls ahead of time, it's even scarier. It is hard to put your loved ones through the emotional roller coaster. Hope that the surgeon has a great plan of action for you and it is good news that it is in no other organs. Good luck to tackling this new hurdle.
Aug 12, 2014 - 5:51 pm
I know Craig mentioned the marathon...did he mention the emotional roller coaster as well?
Hoping all will be well for you.
Aug 12, 2014 - 6:34 pm
Sorry, you did not get the news you were hoping to hear. There are options and you are on your way to a treatment plan...that is the good news as well as no other involvement. Our families bear the burden of our illness but I am sure your wife wants to be nowhere but at your side.
Be assured of my prayer that you will soon be NED again. Hang in...you can do it!
Aug 12, 2014 - 7:02 pm
Dang it! Wish that your remission would have been longer. There is also chemoemobilzation and y90.
Get it out before it spreads.
Take care and stay strong!
Aug 12, 2014 - 8:34 pm
Hopefully they'll get a plan of attack soon and get you NED. It's tough being the patient or the caretaker. I will keep both of you in my prayers.
Aug 13, 2014 - 7:14 am
I am truly sorry that you had to get that call. I have recurred enough times myself so i truly understand how you are feeling. I hope you and your wife took a little time to cry together and are now ready to fight again. You are in my prayers.
Aug 14, 2014 - 2:39 am
Not a news we want to here, but i know your spirit with a little help from your friends will carry you through.
All the best,
Aug 14, 2014 - 12:09 pm
I am so sorry that the news was not better.
I hope that there are good options for dealing with this latest liver issue.
Your dear wife certainly has had much to deal with.
Prayers for you all,
Marie who loves kitties
Aug 14, 2014 - 2:35 pm
It's so random. Gone, back, gone back. It's like a never ending hurricane. I hope you get a good plan and become NED again soon.

Affiliated Computer Services ACS, Xerox Girlfriend read my text messages from my phone at her work @ ACS! Lexington Kentucky
Due to the recent discovery of the NSA Intelligence programs, I thought the world should know that employees at ACS, Affiliated Computer Services can key in a phone number on a simple box on a screen and read your text messages. I am not sure why this company has unlimited access to text from any phone number. What I do know is that my girlfriend at the time of the incident was training to use that program and instead of entering in her number as instructed she simply entered in my phone number and went through all of my text messages.
At the time I felt very intruded upon and very angry and the only reason I chose not to expose it back then is that she just started the job that I had pushed her for months to get and do something with her life. That's what she chose ACS, and chose that day to enter my phone number read all my text messages and then came home raising the roof off over what was in the messages.
This is absolutley unconstitutional that she was able to read these texts. I don't care how or why they have this program at this company but for a trainee to be able to just look at any phones texts they wish by just entering in any phone number is absurd and they also do work for the government. This is somehow related and needs to brought to the attention of americans. Thanks and have a good day! There is 100 percent truth and have the name of the employee and when and what she read!

I booked some inpark lodging way back several months ago. Two night at Swiftcurrent in Many Glacier and four nights at Rising Sun on St Mary Lake.
I will concentrate on the east side unless I end up flying Kallispell and then I may spend most of the last day in the Lake McDonald.
My main interests are photographing/seeing scenery (hopefully spectacular), wtaerfalls and wildlife (hopefully).
While I do enjoy shorter hikes, the longer ones are becoming harder as I accumulate more issues. To now, while I have avoided "difficult", I have been able to be non-stop throughout the day. We'll see how this year goes.
I'm working on the very easy scenery. Just off the GTTS road and a few other locations. I'll list those in another post.
This post will concentrate on hiking.
This is what I've put together so far hike-wise.
Many Glacier.
I have most of two days before leaving for St May Lake and some sunset photography.
Grinnell Glacier - shortened by taking the shuttle boats. I selected this over Iceberg since it's shorter (though more elevation gain) but mostly because it's got great scenery throughout the hike. This reminds me of Mt Washburn in Yellowstone though it might be harder on the body and easier on the heart.
A selection from Redrock Falls, Apikuni Falls, Swiftcurrent Nature Trail.
Logan Pass
Hidden Lake Overlook
Highline Trail. I selected this because it appears to have great scenery throughout so if I decide to stop part way and return I would be satisifed with what I saw.
Deadwood Falls?
Lake McDonald.
Avalanche Lake / Gorge?
Two Medicine
If I go there it will be on a "daytrip" so I have to allow for an hour driving in daylight each way.
Select from:
Aster Park Overlook that includes Aster Park Falls and Paradise Pt, Twin Falls or Rockwell Falls.
Depending upon how I/m doing I might be able to link together two of these.
Saint Mary Lake
St Mary Falls and Virginia Falls.
All comments and/or recommendations are appreciated. Remove, Add, etc.
Please remember that I don't want to add a 15 mile hike with an elevation gain of 2,000 ft. That might be more than I'm willing to try.

Your itinerary sounds great! I would definitely recommend the extra effort to get to Virginia Falls, I think it's probably the most incredible falls in the park. Here's some other great waterfall hikes: http://www.hikinginglacier.com/glacier-best-waterfall-hikes.htm. The Highline Trail is a must and if you only to go Haystack Butte which is a little over 3 miles one way you will see the most spectacular scenery along that trail. Two Medicine is my favorite part of the park...the lake is incredible!
Report Abuse
Are you buying Bear Spray? I figure you are hiking by yourself? You wouldn't need it if you were on a ranger led hike.
A couple of the boat tours looked interesting to me. I think a couple of them involve a short walk and one of them you actually get on a second boat. They looked easy, not very expensive and good.
I also like the sound of the Red Bus Tour that leaves from Glacier Park Lodge. It included a boat ride at Two Medicine plus the Red Bus tour. And it was just a short one (3 hours or so). The all day tours seem a bit much. We had planned on doing one to Waterton though.
Iceberg Lake and Ptarmigan Tunnel both looked good to me at Many Glacier. I think they were shorter than Highline, but I don't know the elevation gain/loss on those.
Hopefully, I will get to finally make there next summer. I think your plan sounds fine and you have allowed enough days you could do more or less and kinda go at whatever pace you feel like.
At least in Glacier you aren't at really high elevations to start with. A lot of the hikes that I've done in Colorado start out at 11,000 and then end up at 13,000+. I think a lot of your hikes will be just at the very beginning stages of what I consider moderate altitude(6,000 or so). I know you are at sea level (I am at like 500ft), so maybe that first day plan on taking it a bit easier.

For St Mary Falls and Virginia Falls--- You will quickly find the St Mary Falls but the trail is not marked well after that. You will go by a few places where you ask yourself, "Is this the falls?". Keep going. Virginia Falls is a pretty tall fall and worth getting to. We had it all to ourselves because everyone else turned back thinking they had already seen it.
Report Abuse
I'm planning on St Mary Falls and Virginia Falls together.
You mentioned that Two Medicine is your favorite part of the park. What and why?
First, I responded to one of your posts about Bryce NP. Only just recently and way after you asked. I've been to Bryce Pt twice for sunrise and never Sunrise Pt. I'm sure you can't go wrong with either but I had read about Bryce Pt before my first trip and it was spectacular. Bryce Pt deck actaully protrudes into the canyon. Both times I was there about 30 people were waiting for the sun to come up. It also gets quite windy there.
I'm planning on bear spray and won't hike there alone. I'm not sure who will be going with me. Daughter for part of the trip or friend for all. If I'm alone for part of the trip I'll go on ranger-led hikes or get together with others at the trailhead.
I don't think I'd do well on the Red Bus tour. I like to go at my own pace and if I see something I like I may explore a bit. A tour would restrict and frustrate me.
I know the Grinnell Glacier hike gets shortened somewhat by taking two shuttle boats.
Two Medicine also has a shuttle boat that shortens some of the hikes. And the boat rides might be nice even though I think these are intended to be shuttle and not leisurely tours. Going early and coming back later may give some great views.
Iceberg and Ptarmigan Tunnel are too long considering I already have a couple that are too long and I'm planning on them (Grinnell Glacier and Highline).
Yes, the elevation is lower than at some other parks. Close to what Zion is. That makes it a bit easier on the heart and breathing. I'll have to train a bit to get the legs in top shape.
I have descriptions for all the hikes that I printed from hikinginglacier.com. I have maps and photos so I'll know when at each.
Thanks for the responses so far.
It's hard to imagine falls that are so small compared to Yellowstone Lower Falls or even the smaller falls at Yosemite can be spectacular but I found the height actually detracts from the beauty. I think Lower Calf Creek Falls can match most others.

I imagine you know this, but I thought I would mention it.
I checked with the airlines and you can't bring any kind of pepper spray (even in checked luggage) on an airplane. So, you will have to buy it when you get there. You can then donate it(hopefully you will have not had a need to use it) or just mail it back to your house.
Everything I read suggest that Highline is the best one. I don't think the elevation gain/loss is that much. It is just long. A lot of people take a short side trek(1 mile) to Grinnell Glacier overlook. I think that side hike has a huge elevation gain though.
Usually those bus tours don't appeal to me either. We took one in Yellowstone and enjoyed it more than we thought. It was a sunset tour and was a good way to wind the day down without little effort.

FYI---just west of the footbridge at the bottom of Virginia Falls (across the creek) is a pit toilet. I was very happy to find it. It's not easily seen.

Grinnel shortened by boat is not so easy due to the denivellation but it worth the effort...On the way back if you have time, it's nice to hike to Grinnel Lake and then back to the boat or hiking to many Glacier hotel.
Apikuni falls is short but...STRENOUS as the denivellation is in less than one mile.
Iceberg is not so long and scenery is stupendous.
The swiftcurrent pass trail is a must and you can hike till the foot of the pass ...It's about 4 miles with a very small denivellation and you have scenery, lakes and very good chance to see wildlife(bears, mooses,...).
At two medecine, twin falls is nice and you can go by boat at the trailhead and upon your time or back by boat and another small hike or longing one of the shore to hike back to two medecine store...
At Logan Pass, the hiden lake overlook is not a trail but you hike on a boarwalk...Nice but very busy...Not our favorite.
Highline trail is nice.
At lake McDonald, avalanche is nice and you can on the way back do the trail of cedars...
Finally while on the west part, the drive to Bowaman Lake worth the miles and there are some nice hikes there(Quartz lakes, Akokala lake). On Rising sun, Okotomi lake is not so hard and very scenic.
Good hikes.
August is a nice month to hike.We'll be there, again from July 30th to August 13th.
Itinerary is : 1 nigh Kalispell, 3 nights Bigfork, 2 nights Apgar, 2 nights East Glacier, 3 nights Rising sun, 3 nights swiftcurrent and 3 nights Missoula...
NB : I've written some trip report on our precedent sejours with description of some hikes...
Report Abuse
Thanks. I'll review what you wrote. I'm afraid that what you consider short and easy might be a little long and not so easy for me now.
I am a bit concerned about Grinnell Glacier being too strenuous but I will try to get ready for it.
Unfortunately it will also be in the first couple of days of the trip so I won't be used to the elevation yet. I live at zero elevation.
It appears our trips will overlap somewhat. When will you be at Rising Sun?
Report Abuse
I think I'm jumping around a bit so I'll try to concentrate on individual areas.
Two Medicine.
I'll most likely have one day. If I leave Rising Sun early (about an hour drive each way) I wonder if I'll have time for both Twin Falls together with Upper Two Medicine Lake (taking the shuttle boat) and then Aster Park (which includes Aster Falls and Paradise Point).
If I have to choose I wonder if anybody has done both of those areas and has an opinion.
Or, what if I plan on Twin Falls (side-by-side falls sounds interesting) and skip Upper Two Medicine Lake for Aster Park which I've read has spectacular views of Two Medicine Lake.
When I plan I always have a first, second and possibly third level plan. For some reason I almost always get done more than I think I can.
Logan Pass.
I realize Higline is probably longer than what I want to do. However, I don't think it's overly strenuous and I can turn back any time.
Many Glacier.
I selected Grinnel Glacier over Iceberg because I've read that the scenery on Grinnel Glacier is throughout the hike (and great views of the lakes below) whereas for Iceberg it's mostly near the end. True?
Also, I would go on the ranger-led Grinnel Glacier Hike. The problem with this hike is that I don't think I'd want to plan on not doing the whole thing. The highest elevation is about 6500 feet so it's probably similar to Angel's Landing in Zion as far as altitude and change is concerned.
The the issue is probably more the legs than the Oxygen.
Report Abuse
We'll be in Rising Sun from august the 5th to august the 08th(finally 3 nights...).
For Iceberg, the first 1,2 miles are scenery with views on swiftcurrent valley, then it's in the wood for 1.2 miles with the ptarmigan falls in middle of the trail. Then it's very scenic with views on the valley where there are a lot of streams and falls...on the right and mountain on the left.
The advantage of Grinnel with boat shortening is that there are less people than in Iceberg...(Iceberg is the easiest middle difficult hike of this part...).
The most difficult part of Grinnel is the last 0.3-0.4 miles after the pit/picnic stop...I'm not sure it's a good idea to stop...Better to do the whole hike and walk to the Grinnel Glacier and have a good rest here.
We've seen a lot of people not able to make those final step after stopping 1/2 hour at the picnic spot...
For the highline, it's possible toi hike till the Granite Chalet and then back by the by-pass and so shorter and take the shuttle to be back at Logan pass.
Arrive early since parking in Logan Pass is not always easy...

Thanks - merci beaucoup. I'll be at Rising Sun the nights of Aug 6 - 9. I may shorten it a day or two depending upon who I go with. I don't like to shorten.
You are confirming some of the things I'm reading. Since the most difficult part of Grinnell is last little bit I could stop there if I have to. But it's not like me to do that. You are correct about stopping. Once you stop it's difficult to start again. It's very funny because after sit for a while I have to slowly move everything before I start again.
I have two days in Many Glacier but don't want to do two long hikes. I could always do the first part of Iceberg and Redrock Falls on the same day. Those two trailheads are near each other.

We're in Bretagne, west part of France , in Vannes(golfe du Morbihan).
Our next venue in USA is in May in NY : museums, some musicals- Ghost/Porgy and Bess/Jesus Christ Superstar, and perhaps jazz(depending/program) and NBA or NHL if Knicks or Rangers are always in play off.
And evedently shoping for the girls + some restaurants.

I see on the map that you're on the west side.
New York is a great city.
We hadn't been there in many years. Then we went in 2001 (a few months after 9/11), in 2007 (and Philadelphia and 2008 (and Boston).
Some of the things I really enjoyed was taking a subway to Brooklyn and then walking back on the Brooklyn Bridge, walking around Central Park early in the morning taking photos and the Staten Island Ferry. Great views of Lower Manhattan.
Also, excellent views from Top of the Rock.
Nw wildlife but you can walk all day.

I reread your posts and I saw that you selected the first part of the Swiftcurrent Pass trail as a must.
This is excellent as I wanted to hike to Redrock Falls and that's the first 2 miles of that hike.
I'm having a bit of an issue with Two Medicine but I'll work on that.
I'd like to get to Twin Falls and Rockwell Falls. I'm uncertain about Aster Falls and Aster Park Overlook but would somehow like to plan this all in without making it too long.
Thanks for the help.

Now of course I'm not sure(since I haven't been there)and I don't know what you want to do at Two Med. But, it seems to me that most of the stuff there is short and sweet or long and strenuous. And it seems that the short and sweet stuff has big payoffs. So, I imagine a day or even 1/2 day you could see a lot there. That was kinda the plan I had anyway. I was going to even include Glacier Park Lodge, Goat Lick Area and a meal at Izzaak Walton.

Two Medecine is scenic by itself : the lake with all the mountains around is a must to see.
The "shop", an old and ancient ranger station transports you in old times...
And Twin Falls/Upper two medecine lake with boat to go and upon the time you have on the back trip is not difficult.
To have a quiet rest on twin falls was one of our excellent "souvenir" two years ago...and the hike to Upper two medecine lake is not difficult.
To come back to "trailhead" as i mentioned before, or back by boat or by one of the 2 shores and the south one is easy with chance to see some wildlife(we saw mooses here...).

Frustrated City Council members this week blocked tentativeplans to build a few dozen low-income apartments at Second Avenueand Centre City Parkway on the site of the vacant Lopez Market,which the city quietly bought for $780,000 last summer.
Council members said low-income housing would be a poor fit for that location because it's the eastern edge of Escondido's 11-acre Mercado District, a mostly vacant area that city officials hope to transform into something similar to Old Town San Diego.
In addition to complaining that low-income housing was inappropriate for that area, council members said they were confused and disappointed that the plan to build such housing there had gained so much momentum without their knowledge.
They said staff members hadn't told the council about buying the Lopez Market property, or any plans to develop it.
"A company's going around telling people they're going to do this housing project, and we knew nothing about it," said Councilwoman Olga Diaz, explaining that council members made their unhappiness clear to staff members during a session closed to the public Wednesday afternoon.
Councilwoman Marie Waldron agreed.
"We never approved the project or anything," said Waldron. "We're not ready to decide what we're going to do there."
Mayor Sam Abed, who recused himself from Wednesday's discussion because he owns property in the Mercado District, said council members should be fully informed about significant property purchases and any decisions about what to build on city-owned land.
"Transparency is an important part of what we do," he said.
Roni Keiser, the city's housing division manager, said the council wasn't told about the purchases of Lopez Market and two nearby properties because the city handled them differently than ordinary property acquisitions.
Escondido bought the properties with part of the $1.3 million it received in federal stimulus money to replace buildings that had been boarded-up or abandoned during the national foreclosure crisis.
In accepting that money in 2009, the council authorized the city's housing division to buy individual properties without seeking specific approvals, Keiser said. In addition to the Lopez purchase, the city also bought properties on Elm Street and El Norte Parkway, she said.
No guarantees
Keiser said the council wasn't told about a private developer's plans to build about 40 apartments for low-income residents on the Lopez site because the city has never had a formal agreement with that developer, Amcal Housing of Los Angeles County.
Keiser said Amcal officials had hoped the council would agree to give them the Lopez site, which is about four-fifths of an acre, and approve their design plans for the site.
Amcal officials created detailed design plans and showed them to some local residents and officials this winter, including Keiser. But Keiser stressed that the company understood it would eventually need council approval.
Mario Turner, Amcal's vice president of development, confirmed that Friday.
"Staff never made any promises to us," said Turner. "It was our risk, our time and our money."
Turner said Amcal considered the Lopez site a great opportunity to bring "workforce" housing to a downtown area where it was needed.
"We thought this was a great opportunity, so we decided to do some preliminary work," said Turner, explaining that he was surprised by the council's rejection of the idea this week. "But I think at this point, we need to regroup."
Condos preferred
Maria Bowman, chairwoman of the nonprofit Mercado Business Association, said this week that she was relieved the council blocked the plan for low-income housing.
Bowman contends that condominiums or market rate apartments would be a better fit for the Mercado, which is bounded by Valley Parkway to the north, Pine Street to the east, Fourth Avenue to the south and Quince Street to the west.
Bowman, who said she was shocked to discover the plan this winter, contends the Lopez site should become parking or restaurants.
"When I found out about this, I wanted to buy the land back and keep the plan for a mini restaurant row," said Bowman. "I understand it was a good time for the city to buy that land cheaply. But we want condos, not low-income housing."
Councilman Ed Gallo agreed.
"That's not a location for affordable housing, but it's a good spot for a nice mixed-use project," said Gallo, suggesting he'd like to see retail shops built underneath market rate or for-sale housing units.
However, because the city bought the Lopez properties with federal housing money, there are restrictions on what can be built there, city officials said. Councilwoman Diaz said the city might have to sell the property and give the money to the federal government, or use the money to buy properties where the council would approve low-income housing.
Bowman said she worries sometimes whether the real estate market will ever allow the city's dreams for the Mercado to happen, explaining that developers have not been upbeat about building condos in downtown Escondido since the recession began.
"I'm torn between our dreams and the reality of the real estate market," Bowman said.
Councilwoman Waldron said she was still optimistic that a specific plan adopted several years ago for the Mercado area would eventually come to fruition, especially with more than $1 million being spent on Mercado-area street and sidewalk improvements this winter and spring.
The upgrades, which will include a pedestrian square featuring fountains, benches and lush landscaping, are being paid for with a"smart growth" grant from the San Diego Association of Governments, the county's regional planning agency. Bowman said the upgrades are scheduled to be complete in June.

The Environmental Burden of Disease due to transportation noise in Flanders (Belgium) 2004
Exposure to environmental noise due to rail, road and air traffic affects public health. Cardiovascular diseases, sleep disturbance and annoyance are the most-reported harmful effects of noise exposure in scientific literature. In this article, the transportation noise burden of disease in Flanders is quantified based on the disability adjusted life year methodology (DALY), combining the burden due to premature death and disability in a single index. The estimation relies on relevant health statistics, exposure-response relationships and the distribution of exposure. The estimated number of DALYs due to environmental noise in Flanders 2004 was 20 517, corresponding to 1.7% of the total burden of disease in Flanders or 21.8% of the total environmental burden of disease in Flanders due to particular matter, ozone, carcinogenic air pollutants (i.e. lead, ultra violet radiation, benzene, radon, nickel, arsenic and polyaromatic hydrocarbons) and noise. The results establish that traffic- related noise exposure has a large impact on public health. Nevertheless, the results must be interpreted carefully because of the rather large uncertainty range attributable to the variety in exposure level, the uncertainty in exposureresponse functions and the choice of severity weight.

Addabbo's & NY Blood Center's Summer Blood Drive: Win 2 Tickets to WPLJ's Scott & Todd Blast Off Morning Show!
Queens, NY, August 5, 2011 – Each summer, New York Blood Center reaches out for blood donors during a time of critical shortages. To help their effort, NYS Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr., is joining the NYBC's Summer Blood Tour and WPLJ's (95.5) Scott & Todd's Blast Off Morning Show, to hold a local blood drive on Saturday, August 20 from 9 AM – 3 PM. Look for the busmobile parked in front of Rite Aid, 65-35 Woodhaven Boulevard (65th Road), Rego Park. Every donor will get a free Scott & Todd Phone Scam CD. If Addabbo's blood drive collects at least 40 pints of blood, donors will win a chance to attend Scott & Todd's WPLJ Friday Morning Blast Off show this fall. Be a part of the excitement of live radio along with other blood donors and the crew at WPLJ. Invite your family, friends, co-workers, church, temple or mosque members and neighbors: the Senator's district-wide goal is to collect 50 pints.
Donors are required to bring a valid ID with a picture or signature; must be between ages *16-76th birthday and weigh 110 pounds; (*16 year-olds need parental permission on a special NYBC form; ages over 76 must have a doctor's note); eat well and drink fluids before donating; no tattoos for the past 12 months.
If you've never donated blood, or if you need some motivation to spend about an hour on a summer Saturday giving blood, consider:
· Just one pint of blood can help save the lives of several people.
· 1 person in 3 will need a life-saving blood transfusion in their lifetime.
· One pint of blood can be separated into several components (red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, platelets and cryoprecipitate).
· Platelets help blood to clot and give those with leukemia and other cancers a chance to live.
· Car accident victims who have suffered massive blood loss may require transfusions of 50 pints or more of red blood cells.
· Cancer, transplant, trauma, and open-heart surgery patients require platelet transfusions to survive.
· There is no substitute for human blood.
· Much of today's medical care depends on a steady supply of blood from healthy donors.
· Every three seconds someone needs blood.
· Approximately 32,000 pints of blood are used each day in the U.S.
· Blood centers often run short of type O and B blood.
· Shortages of all types of blood often occur during the summer and winter holidays.
· If all blood donors gave at least twice a year, it would greatly strengthen the nation's
blood supply.
· Anyone who is in good health and is at least 16, weighs at least 110 pounds, may donate blood every 56 days.
· The actual blood collection takes approximately 10-20 minutes. The entire process, from when you sign in to the time you leaves, takes only 45 minutes to one hour.
· You cannot get AIDS or any other blood disease by donating blood.
· A heart surgery uses an average of six pints of red blood cells and six pints of platelets.
· One out of every 10 people entering a hospital needs blood.
For questions regarding eligibility, please call New York Blood Center at 1-800-688-0900. For questions about participating in Senator Addabbo's summer blood drive, call Peter DeLucia, Director of Special Events in the Howard Beach District Office, at 1-718-738-1111. Please help Senator Addabbo reach his own district-wide goal of collecting 50 pints and save lives this summer.

In the Wine Country of Long Island, a Rising Star: Merlot
By FLORENCE FABRICANT; Special to The New York Times
Published: August 22, 1990
CUTCHOGUE, L.I., Aug. 18— Long Island merlot may not be as familiar as California cabernet, but recent vintages of these lush, smooth, fruity wines are gaining a fine reputation.
''It's the one red wine they are producing of very high quality and it will earn great respect for the region,'' said Marvin Shanken, chairman of M. Shanken Communications, which specializes in wine and spirits publications. On Saturday afternoon The Wine Spectator, one of Mr. Shanken's publications, sponsored a gala barrel-tasting of 1989 merlots from 12 of the Island's 15 wineries.
That party helped raise money for Lyme Disease research at Stony Brook Hospital; more than 600 people turned out.
''Merlot is attracting a lot of attention because it seems to be emerging as the best red grape for this area,'' said Larry Fuller-Perrine, the wine maker at Gristina Vineyards, which will release its first merlot, the 1988, in a few weeks. ''It's taken awhile to find out, but by 1986 it appeared that we could get the most consistent results from merlot.''
Ted Conklin, who owns the American Hotel in Sag Harbor, a hotel known for its wine list, said the vines' age was important: ''The land had previously been planted with potatoes and cauliflower, and it had to take at least six years for the stuff they put in the soil for those crops to leach out and for the wines to lose their squirrelly, herbaceous taste.''
There are now 13 merlot-producing wineries on Long Island and that number may be 17 by 1992. Of the 1,400 acres of wine grapes planted, 300 acres are devoted to merlot. In July, an international merlot symposium was held in Riverhead, bringing in winery owners and wine makers from California, Washington and France.
Many participants, among them Alain Querre, owner of Chateau Monbousquet in St.-Emilion, an area in Bordeaux where the merlot grape dominates, were impressed with Long Island's merlots. At $10 to $12 a bottle, Mr. Conklin said, ''Long Island merlot is, generally speaking, a better wine for half the money than a $20 bottle of Pomerol or St.-Emilion from France.''
Many experts say the North Fork is the premier red-wine region in the Northeast. The climate is what attracted Alex and Louisa Hargrave there in 1973, when they startled the potato farmers by planting grape vines.
Unlike upstate New York's, Long Island's growing season is longer, averaging 210 days, about the same as that of Bordeaux, and permits red as well as white grapes to ripen. Red grapes require a longer growing season; their successful cultivation is very limited elsewhere in New York State.
Charles Swift and Jim Cassel, owners of Island Vineyards, cultivate 36 acres of merlot grapes that they sell to Palmer Vineyards in Aquebogue. The growers said they expected to get $1,400 a ton this year, up from $1,100 to $1,200 last year. ''It's partly because the French rated us so high,'' Mr. Swift said.
Merlot wines tend to be softer and ready to drink sooner than cabernet sauvignon. Of the 1989 ''barrel samples'' - wines made from last year's vintage and not yet bottled - some, including Hargrave, were tannic. Others, like Pugliese, were full of fruit. Bidwell Vineyards' 1989 merlot was rich and full-bodied. The 1988 vintage ''was the best vintage so far,'' said Ray Blum, the owner of Peconic Bay Vineyards. His 1988 is round and soft, with more richness than structure.
The 1988 merlots from Bedell Cellarsand Bidwell Vineyards are smooth, elegant and ready to drink. Both the Bridgehampton Winery's and the Hargrave Vineyard's 1988's could use more aging.
At the barrel-tasting, the Long Island wineries poured out their chardonnays, sauvignon blancs, gewurztraminers, rieslings, cabernet sauvignons and sparkling wines in addition to merlot.
And a buffet of appetizers, including smoked seafood, corn salad and grilled vegetables from 16 restaurants and food-producing companies, was served along with the wines. The hundreds of partygoers filled a giant tent and feasted on 900 ears of sweet corn, rosy slices from 300 grilled duck breasts and 500 lobsters glossed with herb butter, along with platters brimming with swordfish, tomatoes, potatoes and berries prepared by Starr Boggs, chef and owner of Starr Boggs Restaurant in Westhampton Beach.
As California has been touting the rapport between its cuisine and wines, the marriage of Long Island-grown white and red wines with its seafood, duck and produce is so natural that one wonders why it took so long.
Mr. Shanken says the regional affinity should be paid even more attention. ''All the other wines people consume in the immediate New York area come from 3,000 miles away, either from Europe or the West,'' he said. ''These come from 100 miles away, they're reasonably priced and I say shame on the wine trade and the restaurants in the New York region for not paying more attention to them.''
