Sightseers

Bear Witness

Alaska tour boat guide Stacie Calder faces the deep freeze in this scenic cozy series debut perfect for fans of Paige Shelton. No nine-to-five cubicle career will suit Stacie Calder-the naturalist much prefers working in the great outdoors. Specifically, the spacious and spectacular Alaskan wilderness, whose rugged charms she shares with sightseers on the top deck of the tour boat where she works. But one May afternoon, Stacie's passengers see more than glittering glaciers, frolicking harbor seals, climbing bears and soaring seabirds…they also witness a man lying dead in the frigid Alaskan waters. And it seems likely that someone gave him a fatal push. Stacie didn't know the unfortunate victim, but he sure wanted to know a lot about her. He spent most of his final afternoon bombarding her with questions quite awkward to answer. And when he wasn't in her hair, he was arguing incessantly with the boat's beleaguered crew. Which makes for a suspect list about as long as the passenger manifest. Furthermore, as police helicopters relentlessly circle her boat in search of any clues, Stacie is shaken to find herself on that suspect list. Before the tour boat reaches shore Stacie-accompanied by her beautiful blue-eyed husky, Sasha-must deduce just who sent the testy tourist tumbling into the turgid waters and have the authorities take custody. Because if she can't, then the killer might aim a fatal ice-cold stare at Stacie.

The Swiss Alps: Geneva, Zermatt, Zurich, Lucerne, St. Moritz, & Beyond: Travel Adventures , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 220min

The Swiss Confederation spans some 41,293 square km in west-central Europe. Bounding Switzerland are Germany to the north, France to the west, Italy to the south, and Liechtenstein and Austria to the east. Around 70% of Switzerland's terrain is mountainous, much of its land rippling along the Bernese, Rhaetian, and Pennine Alps. The mighty Rhine River drains 68% of the land here, and some 60% is either pastureland or forest. Switzerland enjoys a high standard of living, with among the world's lowest unemployment, highest income, and longest life expectancy rates. The Valais region encompasses Switzerland's most rugged terrain. Our coverage extends from the gateway city of Geneva to the upper reaches of the Walliser Alps along the Italian frontier. Visitors are apt to enter the region in Geneva, a small, cosmopolitan city between the border of France and the western end of Lake Geneva, known in French as Lac Leman. The city bustles with the business of international organizations, plays along a garden-lined lakefront, and harbors a pleasant pedestrian old town. The city of Lausanne lies across the lake, drawing visitors for its own pleasant lakefront and the Olympic Games History Museum. Beyond, in the Valais region, protrudes the magnificent Matterhorn Peak, with famed Zermatt at its foot and secluded Saas-Fee just over the hill. In southeastern Switzerland, Zermatt reclines amid a cluster of 38 4,000-m peaks. Above the town towers the distinctive hook of the Matterhorn crest. But, curiously, few here pay much attention. In this glamorous town, electric taxis tear through the alleys, moving shoppers, sightseers, and skiers at a frantic pace. For this jet-setting clientele, Zermatt isn't a place to relax; it's a place to play, and play hard. All of the details you need to know are in this guide - where to stay, where to eat, where to play and where to party. Plus the mountain climbing adventures, the hikes and walks, the bike trails and much more. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert E. Prout.

Grand Canyon Tour, Hörbuch, Digital, 76min

Welcome to Grand Canyon National Park! As you approach the Grand Canyon, you are crossing the Colorado Plateau, a 130,000 square mile bulge in the earth's surface spanning half of Utah and a good portion of Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. Around its edges are the upthrust Rocky Mountains, the stretched-apart Great Basin, the contorted rocks of Arizona's Transition Zone, and ancient volcanoes. Despite all the geologic activity around it, the Plateau has managed to stay relatively flat and unfolded, but as a whole, it has been uplifted more than a mile. It is the uplift, and the down-cutting, that have created the Canyon. About five to 10 million years ago, the Colorado River began to carve its way down through the domed region on its way to the sea. Like a knife slicing through a layer cake, the mile-deep river canyon exposed multi-hued layers of time, a geologist's dream come true. But you don't have to be a geologist to appreciate the Canyon's grandeur. Erosion by wind, water, and gravity not only widened the canyon, it created an amazing variety of towers and spires, ridges and side canyons, shadows and highlights. The rainbow of rock colors is most intense in early morning or late afternoon light. If you are lucky, you will see a storm chase through the canyon, casting shadows and mist as it goes. Sightseers have been coming to view the wonders of the Canyon since 1883. Prospectors soon found tourism more profitable than mining and built accommodations for them. One of the earliest visitors was Theodore Roosevelt, a lover of the West's wide-open spaces. He pushed for federal protection and in 1893 the area became a Forest Reserve. In 1908, it received a promotion to National Monument and in 1919 the National Park was formed.

Buenos Aires Travel Guide , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 34min

The city of Buenos Aires is a beautiful combination of classic European design and the grandiose allure of Latin American flare. This capital city of Argentina has a lot to offer travelers, and not just because it is the birthplace of the tango. In fact, the tango is merely a part of the trifecta of local passions that many visitors seek out, with steak and wine being equally favored. However, the French design, Italian cuisine, and Spanish nightlife have made this city a medley of culture, fun, and flavor. Between romantic restaurants and a vibrant nightlife, Buenos Aires is passionate, exciting, and offers an atmosphere that is not to be missed. This Argentinian capital is not only one of the most exciting cities on the continent, but in the world. Not only is this city an infusion of culture, it is also incredibly generous. There are a wide variety of free activities, allowing travelers to save their funds for one of the many delicious and elaborate dining or drinking experiences the city offers. Additionally, the city is renowned for the local residents who offer free tours, giving sightseers the best perspectives of the city. And most of the city's parks feature free yoga or tai chi classes with welcoming atmospheres, so any one is able to participate. Plus, it is not unusual to encounter an impromptu tango show on the streets, which will often invite bystanders to participate. Straggling between the ethos of both Latin America and Europe, Buenos Aires features Belle Époque architecture, along with tree-lined avenues and cobblestone streets that are filled with adorable cafés and boutiques. Modeled after Paris and Madrid, the city was remodeled in the 20th century. However, public art and graffiti accent the historic buildings, bringing a liveliness and uniqueness to the surroundings. Known for good times, great food, world-class wine, and late nights, visitors should be prepared for the city to come alive each night. Most nights, one a.m. is c ungekürzt. Language: English.

Keepin' It Simple

Artist: Oren Masserman Album: Keepin' It Simple Review by Kevin Mathews Sometimes, there is something to be said about consistency in pop music. From album cover image to album title to music to lyrical content, singer-songwriter Oren Masserman has no problem getting his message across to anyone who will take the time to listen. The cover of Masserman's sophomore effort features a young boy climbing a coconut tree in the obvious pursuit of a prized coconut. The sky is golden and cloudy, the location is presumably somewhere on an island paradise, perhaps Hawaii? The album is appropriately called Keepin' It Simple as well! The fact that Masserman is a lifetime surfer completes the picture rather emphatically. A casual listen to Keepin' It Simple will probably raise comparisons in most folks' minds with the best-selling albums of fellow surfer dude Jack Johnson. Definitely, there is a similar easy-going, upbeat, positive vibe about Masserman's music that is highly reminiscent of Jack Johnson's very popular oeuvre. Older readers will no doubt recognize the indelible mark of Jimmy Buffet on the Masserman's entire 'island escapism' schtick. Remember, the word here is 'consistent,' as Masserman's songs never stray from the formula set out from the opening song 'Mango Kisses.' Instrumentation is stripped down, with acoustic guitars and ukeleles providing accompaniment and a multitude of percussive instruments keeping time whilst the melodies are uncomplicated enough to support natural harmonies. Lyrically, Masserman takes inspiration from his own life experience, i.e. a lifestyle of traveling, surfing and sailing. In other words, the good life. Certainly, it is impossible not to visualize sandy beaches, fruit drinks, sun-kissed tanned bodies when listening to the music on Keepin' It Simple. Masserman never claims to be anything except for what he is: an ukulele strumming surfer dude enjoying the easy life that he paints so vividly in his sunshine pop songs. As Masserman explains in his official bio, "There's a message, a vibe, a feeling that you get with this music. And it feels so good. This is life. This is what we have. This is what we do. We might as well be stoked while we're living. " How can one argue with such positivity? Keepin' It Simple - Eat your fruits and vegetables Star Christian Aherns Oren Masserman's is enjoying "Mango Kisses" off of his latest album release called, Keepin' It Simple. The U.S. Department of Agriculture should be placing the nourishing album on the food pyramid. The iTunes version is the perfect complement to the summer season. The Southern Californian import aka Masserman fits perfectly in the Hawaiian music scene. The ocean is Oren's muse and he brings a certain charm listeners became familiar with by the release his début original album, Spread the Aloha. Oren has been a longtime member of the Surfrider Foundation and is apart of the Maui Chapter. The surfer/sailor and singer/songwriter molds all of his passions into his music. Due to the musician's geography and passions, he is able to use his gift as a forum to spread awareness. The track "Ocean Song" is a piece emphasizing the importance of taking care of the oceans both locally and internationally. The song "Smooth Sails" not only reflects his work with Trilogy, a sailing company, but a breezy song that allows your mind to drift. Most people are completely dependant on electronic devices and nothing is more liberating than going to the beach and hiding beneath the sun without a care in the world for the next forty minutes. His sailing song naturally fits into the Maui beach setting by uplifting the listener. The trio of songs which reappears off of Spread the Aloha definitely round out the vibe of the current album, Keepin' It Simple. "Baja Banditos," is a change of scenery from "Tonight With You," allowing other great coastal regions to be explored lyrically. The song which likely brings his fellow classmates back to memory lane is "8 Sunriver (When We Were Young)" because he is a long way from Southern California. Nonetheless, he never will forget his time in California surrounded by great friends and family. Masserman's enjoyable track "Tonight With You" instantly draws a picture anyone would want to be apart of. Hawaii is a tourist destination and a mushrooming musical scene all wrapped up in one great package. Keepin' It Simple reminds sightseers the importance of enjoying the breathtaking beaches without sounding redundant. Vacationers always enjoy the bar scene with the bevy of talented musicians who decorate the scene with their ukulele's in hand. Take a tour of Keepin' It Simple via iTunes or the website which has four complete tracks that will make you completely relax. When you are stressed out at work and need to unload remember to load your phone with a few simple songs reminding you of a beach somewhere instead of the recycled gust from the air- conditioning vent in your office. Day-trippers enjoy everything from snorkeling to luaus and Oren Masserman's latest album is your passport to a pyramid of nourishing soul food in the form of various lighthearted songs. If you are barefoot on a beach and about to light a bonfire then kick back with your iPod and enjoy simplifying your life. Oren says, "It's the music that reminds us all how to feel good, dream out loud, and smile big."
