Mendenhall Glacier by Helicopter and Guilded Walk @ Juneau, Alaska on 6/15/2015
Juneau, Alaska
Alaska, known as America's last frontier and the North Star state, is home to frozen landscapes and towering mountain regions. Juneau, the state capital, is one of the southernmost Alaskan cities in a region known as the Inside Passage. Fjords, glaciers, and icebergs dominate the seascape, attracting glacier hikers, kayakers, explorers, whale watchers, and other thrill seekers. Many cruise lines offer Alaskan cruises and begin at Vancouver Island and go as far north as Glacier Bay National Park, giving tourists a view of the seas not seen from land. One of the most popular tourist areas in Juneau is the Mendenhall Glacier, known for it's ice caves and glacier trekking opportunities. A beautiful temperate rainforest surrounds Juneau, offering gorgeous hiking trails through the mountains, rainforests, and leading to many glaciers. The state capital is also known as one of the hotspots during the Gold Rush era and preserved its history along an area called the Perseverance Trail.

Want To Visit Alaska With Andy Albright? | The Alliance
The Alliance is going to Alaska, and Andy Albright wants you to be there with us !
Do you want to go? 2019 is the year, you can step up by helping families, win a trip to Alaska and get paid on top of all that!
It's the last great frontier, filled with ice glaciers, amazing creatures and nature like no place in the world. This trip will take you to Seattle, Washington where you will board Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the Seas, which will take you to Alaska's inner passage.
What are the main ports you'll enjoy during this first-class cruise?
In 2020, The Alliance takes the Great Alaskan Frontier Cruise to Seattle, Wash.; Juneau, Alaska; Skagway, Alaska; and Victoria, British Columbia.
For full contest details, visit NAALeads.com/contests.
The trip will start off in Seattle, Washington in the Emerald City, named for its verdant forests and parks. Explore the Northwest landscape at Discovery Park, stroll along Elliott Bay at the Olympic Sculpture Park, seek out the Seattle Center, home of the Space Needle or check out the Museum of Pop Culture.
You’ll join your Alliance family on one of the world’s most innovative ships, Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas. The ship is filled with edge-of-your-seat entertainment and dining that defies the imagination. Enjoy experiencing the waves on the FlowRider surf simulator, take in the view from 300-feet up from the North Star, feel the thrill of free-falling on RipCord by iFly and sip hand-crafted cocktails paired with surreal views in Two70.
Then, it’s off to Alaska!
Juneau is the largest U.S. state capital— and one of the hardest to get to. Flanked by mountains, tundra and rainforests, it’s basically inaccessible except by air or sea.
Once you arrive you’ll find adventure in every corner. Go dogsledding over Mendenhall Glacier, or prospecting along centuries-old mining trails. In Juneau, the thrills are as endless as the surrounding wilderness.
Watch for humpback whales, orcas, harbor seals, and Steller sea lions as you cruise through the icy Alaskan waters on a charter boat.
Since its Klondike Gold Rush Days, Skagway has served as an outpost for thrilling Alaskan adventure. Take an old-time street car ride along bustling Broadway Street and get lost in riveting historical reenactments. Here you’ll also discover plenty of ways to amp up the adrenaline, from dog-sledding on Laughton Glacier to rafting Lynn Canal, the longest fjord in North America. Known as “the world’s longest outdoor museum,” Chilkoot Trail encompasses 33 miles of hiking trails. Follow in the footsteps of Klondike stampeders as you trek through dense rainforest, enjoy incredible scenery, and discover the Gold Rush ghost town of Dyea. This is the ultimate outdoor challenge.
One of Alaska’s lesser-known gems, Endicott Arm Fjord marks the southern edge of Fords Terror Wilderness area. As you drift through its 30-mile-long stretch, you can’t help but be awed by the surrounding granite cliffs, mountain valleys and dozens of gushing waterfalls. Keep your eyes peeled for harbor seals splashing in icy waters near the ship. Along the shore you might also glimpse brown bears, bald eagles, sea ducks, deer, moose and wolves.
Your journey through scenic Endicott Arm Fjord ends with a front-row view of Dawes Glacier. Standing over 600 feet tall and a half-mile wide, this very active icecap is known for its spectacular calving displays which produce huge, chunky icebergs.
As one of the oldest cities in the Pacific Northwest, Victoria delivers a delightful blend of romantic British pomp and outdoor Canadian pursuits. Culture seekers and adventure junkies alike get their fill at the southern end of Vancouver Island. Here you can admire traditional Victorian architecture at Craigdarroch Castle and eat your way around Canada’s oldest Chinatown.
Kick off the afternoon lunching on xiaolongbao buns in Chinatown.
Get into some active adventure, whether it’s water-biking False Creek or mountain-biking the North Shore. Head to Robson Street for mainstream chain stores, or hit the quirky indie shops of Gastown, Main Street and Commercial Drive.
Lonsdale Quay Market is home to 80 unique shops, while Granville Island’s art studios sell First Nations carvings and jewelry. Evenings are best spent dining and drinking in Yaletown’s hip warehouse district.

Finally Conquering Mount Verstovia | Sitka, AK
I tried to hike this mountain 9 years ago, but weather deteriorated so quickly that I had to turn back. This time, we were more prepared. We also slid down the snowy peak on our butts, which is so fun!

Lyrics by Shoeless Jeff & Scott Free

Beat by Marc Antonio Pritchett
Lyrics:
VERSE 1 --THE MIDWEST:
In the Midwest, see Ohio, Buckeyes are from this
One was Neil Armstrong, capital is Columbus
Humming Michigan, my Michigan—state song to sing
Great Lakes do surround it; the state house is in Lansing
In the Hoosier State, Indiana, you can find happiness
500 laps 'round Indianapolis
Badgers burrowed in the Badger State Wisonsin
Have you ever drunk a bunch of milk in Madison
The Illinois, Golden Prairies and Plains yeild:
Beans of soy, wheat and hay in Springfield
Minnesota, over 10,000 lakes in all
Called the North Star State, centered in St. Paul
We go to Iowa, the Hawkeye, 29th to join
Rows of tall corn grow in Des Moines
Ya know Missouri is the Show Me State, a waltz is their diddy Go make your way through the gateway to Jefferson City
The North Dakota state bird, the Western Meadowlark
Watch it peacefully emerge from elms in Bismarck
South Dakota, Mount Rushmore was carved right here
Beware the coyote call Sioux Falls to Pierre
There in Nebraska, it’s so plentiful, the crops aren’t shrinkin’ Huskin' corn in the city named for Abraham Lincoln
Then to Kansas, Sunflower State, come take a peaka
Home on the Range on the plains of Topeka
The Panhandle Oklahoma, the shape, ya know it’s nifty T
he mistletoe grows in Oklahoma City
CHORUS:
Fifty, Fifty States in This Land
Fifty, Fifty Capitals
Fifty, Fifty States in This Land
Something Unique ‘Bout them all
Fifty, Fifty States in This Land
Fifty, Fifty Capitals
Fifty, Fifty States in This Land
Something Unique ‘Bout them all
VERSE 2 --THE WEST:
To the west, Montana, Treasure State, it’s great, I’m tellin’ ya Cause silver and gold were found buried right in Helena
Wyoming known by the Cowboy State—watch them ride, man
When they cross on horse the Great Divide right into Cheyenne
Colorado, you’ll want to remember
Rocky Mountains—Aspen to Denver
Let’s go to the Northwest: Washington peninsula
Seattle Space Needle or a play in Olympia
In Oregon, the Beaver State, went fishin' for salmon
Settlers in wagons took the Oregon Trail on right through Salem
Idaho, the gem state, its deep gorge is noisy
A yell into Hell’s Canyon reaches Boise
In the Gold Rush Californians stackin' up gold,
It's the Golden State, home of Sacramento
Go to the Southwest, in Arizona—see this?
Red desert and the Grand Canyon in Phoenix
“Oh Fair New Mexico,” enchanting land they say
The oldest state capital, known as Santa Fe
Beneath Nevada desert skies, where the stars are pretty
Its always dry, find the sagebrush in Carson City
Utah, the Beehive, the bees all stay busy
Watch the Tabernacle Choir sing in Salt Lake City
Alaska’s vast, it’s is the Last Frontier, did you know?
You can trek the tundra plain all the way to Juneau
Hawaii, Islands where they like to say “aloha” like they knew you Why, you might see a volcano burst outside Honolulu
CHORUS
The Sound of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights)
As well as the visible green or red glow of the Aurora Borealis (or Northern Lights), there is also created an intense radio emission that can be converted to sound.
Professor Carolin Crawford here explains the phenomena and introduces us to that sound of the Aurora Borealis.
The Aurora Borealis is created by solar wind hitting the earth's atmosphere. The charged particles of the solar wind are normally deflected away by the shield of Earth's magnetic field, but some are able to leak into the magnetosphere around the earth, where they are then guided along Earth's magnetic field to reach deeper into the atmosphere. Here they collide with the oxygen and nitrogen molecules of the air, to produce a luminous green and red glow that is the aurorae (Northern or Southern lights).
These moving charged particles that create the northern lights also produce intense radio emission at very low frequencies. We can 'hear' the aurorae as a busy chatter when these radio signals are converted to sound, varying on the real timescale that you can hear.
This is an extract from a lecture by Carolin Crawford, Gresham Professor of Astronomy: 'The Sounds of the Universe'.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:
Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There is currently over 1,000 lectures free to access or download from the website.

My Friend Irma: Irma's Inheritance / Dinner Date / Manhattan Magazine
My Friend Irma, created by writer-director-producer Cy Howard, is a top-rated, long-run radio situation comedy, so popular in the late 1940s that its success escalated to films, television, a comic strip and a comic book, while Howard scored with another radio comedy hit, Life with Luigi. Marie Wilson portrayed the title character, Irma Peterson, on radio, in two films and a television series. The radio series was broadcast from April 11, 1947 to August 23, 1954.
Dependable, level-headed Jane Stacy (Cathy Lewis, Diana Lynn) began each weekly radio program by narrating a misadventure of her innocent, bewildered roommate, Irma, a dim-bulb stenographer from Minnesota. The two central characters were in their mid-twenties. Irma had her 25th birthday in one episode; she was born on May 5. After the two met in the first episode, they lived together in an apartment rented from their Irish landlady, Mrs. O'Reilly (Jane Morgan, Gloria Gordon).
Irma's boyfriend Al (John Brown) was a deadbeat, barely on the right side of the law, who had not held a job in years. Only someone like Irma could love Al, whose nickname for Irma was Chicken. Al had many crazy get-rich-quick schemes, which never worked. Al planned to marry Irma at some future date so she could support him. Professor Kropotkin (Hans Conried), the Russian violinist at the Princess Burlesque theater, lived upstairs. He greeted Jane and Irma with remarks like, My two little bunnies with one being an Easter bunny and the other being Bugs Bunny. The Professor insulted Mrs. O'Reilly, complained about his room and reluctantly became O'Reilly's love interest in an effort to make her forget his back rent.
Irma worked for the lawyer, Mr. Clyde (Alan Reed). She had such an odd filing system that once when Clyde fired her, he had to hire her back again because he couldn't find anything. Useless at dictation, Irma mangled whatever Clyde dictated. Asked how long she had been with Clyde, Irma said, When I first went to work with him he had curly black hair, then it got grey, and now it's snow white. I guess I've been with him about six months.
Irma became less bright as the program evolved. She also developed a tendency to whine or cry whenever something went wrong, which was at least once every show. Jane had a romantic inclination for her boss, millionaire Richard Rhinelander (Leif Erickson), but he had no real interest in her. Another actor in the show was Bea Benaderet.
Katherine Elisabeth Wilson (August 19, 1916 -- November 23, 1972), better known by her stage name, Marie Wilson, was an American radio, film, and television actress. She may be best remembered as the title character in My Friend Irma.
Born in Anaheim, California, Wilson began her career in New York City as a dancer on the Broadway stage. She gained national prominence with My Friend Irma on radio, television and film. The show made her a star but typecast her almost interminably as the quintessential dumb blonde, which she played in numerous comedies and in Ken Murray's famous Hollywood Blackouts. During World War II, she was a volunteer performer at the Hollywood Canteen. She was also a popular wartime pin-up.
Wilson's performance in Satan Met a Lady, the second film adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's detective novel The Maltese Falcon, is a virtual template for Marilyn Monroe's later onscreen persona. Wilson appeared in more than 40 films and was a guest on The Ed Sullivan Show on four occasions. She was a television performer during the 1960s, working until her untimely death.
Wilson's talents have been recognized with three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: for radio at 6301 Hollywood Boulevard, for television at 6765 Hollywood Boulevard and for movies at 6601 Hollywood Boulevard.
Wilson married four times: Nick Grinde (early 1930s), LA golf pro Bob Stevens (1938--39), Allan Nixon (1942--50) and Robert Fallon (1951--72).
She died of cancer in 1972 at age 56 and was interred in the Columbarium of Remembrance at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood Hills.
