Glacier Bay Country Inn Unveils New Amenities Not Common to Alaska Lodges

Glacier Bay Country Inn Unveils New Amenities Not Common to Alaska Lodges













Glacier Bay Country Inn

Gustavus, AK (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

An impressive new 2000sq foot recreation room awaits those staying at the Glacier Bay Country Inn near Gustavus, Alaska. Built to highlight 18ft high ceilings with exposed beams, the rec room is a showpiece featuring floor to ceiling windows with beautiful views and enough activities within to keep travelers entertained for hours after a sumptuous meal, strenuous hike, or full day of Alaska fishing. The recreation room comes equipped with pool tables, ping pong, gaming tables – including dual-screen Xbox gaming – and a sound-proof theater room. Movies will be shown on a 10 x 6ft 1080p HD projection screen with surround sound. The theater accommodates 20 people comfortably in recliners with terraced seating.

“During the summer, it remains daylight until 11pm so we wanted to provide some extra activities for our guests to enjoy after they arrive back from their day adventure,” said owner Jim, “Plus, the kids and teenagers will love watching movies in the theater room and playing games in the spacious rec room.”

Exterior improvements include a ramada for the outside deck. Conversation won’t be dampened around the fire pit or in the newly installed hot tub when inclement weather makes a visit to the inn. Rain or shine, guests can now enjoy hot tubbing and picnicking or just sitting around the fire on the outside deck with views of wildflower meadows.

A two-bedroom cabin is another added highlight for the coming season (estimated completion date mid-summer). Built to overlook the expansive meadow, it contains two large bedrooms—each with its own bath. There is a common area between them with floor to ceiling windows. For added convenience and comfort, the owners have added a small refrigerator, sink, microwave, television and internet service. Plus, a fireplace has been added. The two-bedroom cabin can accommodate a family, two couples, six guys or just a couple.

All the cabins have state of the art Infrared Heaters, flat screen High Definition TVs, Cable and Wireless Internet. The kitchen is newly remodeled. The lodge has a fresh coat of paint. There’s a newly cemented walkway with landscaping to the front door and newly-built disability accessible ramps. Even the website is new.

About Glacier Bay Country Inn

Glacier Bay Country Inn is a luxury vacation and Alaska fishing lodge located in Gustavus, Alaska. Guests can enjoy a wide variety of adventures including kayaking with the whales, scenic hiking, tours into Glacier Bay National Park and world class Halibut and Salmon fishing. Minutes from Glacier Bay National Park on its own 163 acre piece of Alaskan Paradise, this is no ordinary Lodge. Alaska Airlines has direct flights into Gustavus, Alaska. Glacier Bay Country Inn welcomes guests from late May through early September.

Peter Thomas Senese Announces Donation From Sales Of Critically Acclaimed Novel CHASING THE CYCLONE To I CARE Foundation: Reunites 3 Abducted Children With Families

February 20, 2012 By jspositi Leave a Comment

Peter Thomas Senese Announces Donation From Sales Of Critically Acclaimed Novel CHASING THE CYCLONE To I CARE Foundation: Reunites 3 Abducted Children With Families













Peter Thomas Senese’ CHASING THE CYCLONE


New York & Los Angeles (PRWEB) January 20, 2012

Best-selling author Peter Thomas Senese is writing with a deep purpose: royalties generated from his critically talked about novels have and will continue to be donated to the I CARE Foundation, a not-for-profit charitable organization the writer is a director of that was created to help prevent international child abduction. Peter Thomas Senese’s resources have been put to great use: over the past week alone the I CARE Foundation was able to orchestrate the return of three abducted children, including a child taken from a cancer fighting mother, a young child taken and detained in war-torn Ivory Coast for the past 8 years, and another child removed from the southwest. Three international thriller E-books by best-selling author, filmmaker, and child advocate Peter Thomas Senese have been the primary financial resource of the I CARE Foundation. Fortunately, top book critics are raving about the writer’s geopolitical must read, inspirational thrillers. Peter Thomas Senese’s geopolitical novels include CHASING THE CYCLONE, THE DEN OF THE ASSASSIN, and CLONING CHRIST written by best-selling geopolitical thriller writer Peter Thomas Senese. All three titles are available in E-book. Chasing The Cyclone will be released in hardcover this February, while both CLONING CHRIST and THE DEN OF THE ASSASSIN are presently available in hardcover.

Commented Peter Thomas Senese, “It has been very satisfying to know that the sales generated from my works are protecting children, and potentially saving lives. I am honored to work with my esteemed colleagues, including renown Department of State “Hague Convention Attorney Network” lawyers Patricia Lee and Joel Walter and the brilliant child psychologist, Dr. Alex Gimon, all whom are directors and warriors for targeted children of the foundation.”

Amazon’s renown HALL OF FAME reviewers are praising Peter Thomas Senese’s international legal thriller CHASING THE CYCLONE as an electrifying story fans of high suspense thrillers should read. CHASING THE CYCLONE, presently available exclusively as an E-book on Amazon in E-book, is a heart-pounding story of father’s search for his internationally abducted child inspired by the author’s own experience chasing the cyclones of abduction.

Amazon Hall of Fame book reviewer Daniel Jolley commented, “Chasing The Cyclone” isn’t just a powerful novel; it’s a call to arms against a growing epidemic that is tearing lives apart behind the headlines… “Chasing The Cyclone” is much more than just a superb, can’t-put-down novel, though; it is a book with a purpose… Peter Thomas Senese has become an outspoken advocate on this issue, and ‘Chasing The Cyclone’ makes for a clear and profoundly effective call to action. I would go so far as to encourage every loving parent to read this book, as the bond between this father and son is one to be emulated…”

Amazon Hall of Fame book reviewer Harriett Klausner added, . . . “This is an exciting cautionary thriller that grips readers from the onset . . . “Chasing The Cyclone” will shake the audience, this exciting cautionary thriller grips readers from the onset…”

Dr. Grady Harp, a highly respected Amazon Hall Of Fame book reviewer said, “Peter Thomas Senese now opens the windows on the magnitude of these tragedies in his excellent “Chasing The Cyclone”… As if the fast paced energy of this story weren’t enough to satisfy the reader, Peter Thomas Senese demonstrates his quality as a writer of distinction on many levels… this impossible to put down book…”

In the wake of recent international events, including Iran’s capture of a U.S. drone spy plane by possible cyber-hacking combined with Russia’s immediate protective agreement to develop major oil fields in southern Iran, along with the death of North Korea’s isolationist dictator, Kim Jong, II, author Peter Thomas Senese is pleased to announce the release of his geopolitical thriller The Den of the Assassin on e-book.

The multi-dimensional plot is set on Wall Street and is based upon historical events that jettison the reader on a thrilling global geopolitical journey into the hidden and unseen worlds that exists within nations that have different global agendas than the United States and the West, including but not limited to China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. Most concerning, as each nation has become more reliant on one another in our global society, a new level of extraordinary vulnerability to our national security has been created, one perhaps we may not be prepared for. In The Den of the Assassin, believe readers will find the uniquely accurate information on this subject that is carefully weaved through an intricate, entertaining storyline to be quite fascinating – and disturbing.

Amazon Hall of Fame book reviewer Daniel Jolley stated, “This is one seriously good thriller. Billed as “a novel of international finance and espionage,” Den of the Assassin is a super-realistic exploration of frightening possibilities, unsurpassed heroism, Lucifer-like evil, and terrorism of the worst kind . . . Peter Thomas Senese does a masterful job traversing the inner hallways of diverse institutions as he slowly brings all of these diverse elements together for a slam-bang climax … “Peter Thomas Senese displays a wealth of knowledge of geopolitics, espionage, and international finance, describing all the technical intricacies of the story’s elements and implications with great attention to detail -without ever letting the pace get bogged down or become confusing to the reader. He also keeps a number of secrets close to the vest, saving them for just the right time in the story . . . Many a writer of thrillers seem to drop the ball somewhere in the middle of their novels, but Peter Thomas Senese’s’ knowledge of geopolitics, international finance, and 21st century terrorist threats keeps the fires of detailed complexity and story evolution stoked and red-hot for the entire ride. Tyler Boxter is no James Bond, but Den of the Assassin proves to be just as exciting as any 007 caper – and much more realistic.”

Cloning Christ, Peter Thomas Senese’s theological thriller that asks the question, “What would you do if you held the potential True Cross of Jesus in your hands, and it contained blood and hair strains on it? has had readers from around the world talking about the endless possibilities Senese brings out in his novel that pushes the question of where and how science and faith can co-exist in today’s world.

Amazon Hall Of Fame book critic Harriett Klausner commented, “Fans will relish this thriller. The tale is loaded with action yet uses the characters as symbols of mankind similar to a medieval passion play like Everyman. The cast represents the faithful, the disbelievers, the dividers (torn between science and religion) or the selfish. “Cloning Christ” brings the debate of religion vs. science to the forefront in an exciting manner that focuses on the sacredness of life.”

Peter Thomas Senese is a child abduction prevention advocate actively engaged in trying to stop international child abduction and human trafficking. He is a director of the I CARE Foundation. 100% of Peter Thomas Senese’s royalties earned from the E-book releases of Chasing The Cyclone, The Den of the Assassin, and Cloning Christ will be donated to the I CARE Foundation. He added, “The I CARE Foundation is actively trying to reunite other children who have been internationally abducted with their families. I think my readers have a deep sense of satisfaction knowing that when they purchase one of my novels, they are making a measurable difference in the life of a defenseless child – and that is pretty cool.”

Explore Talent Announces New Blog, “Oprah Winfrey’s Bodyguards Fight with Indian Journalists”











Oprah Winfrey in India


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 19, 2012

ExploreTalent, a premier online social-network for talented individuals in the entertainment industry, announced a new blog on their news site today, titled, “Oprah Winfrey’s Bodyguards Fight with Indian Journalists.” Explore Talent is a professional site that connects actors, models, musicians and dancers in the United States. The company posts blogs on their site so that members can stay up to date on celebrity news. The online community has been responsible for new collaborations and business ventures in entertainment. Explore Talent is responsible for countless models and actors getting acting jobs and modeling jobs by finding out about casting calls. Explore Talent also helps aspiring entertainment professionals further their careers with contests that showcase their profiles to members of the social media community. Furthermore, the Explore Talent site features celebrity videos, exclusive interviews with actors, actresses, and musicians, such as Joan Rivers, Usher, Akon and T-Pain.

The blog, (http://news.exploretalent.com/oprah-winfreys-bodyguards-fight-with-indian-journalists/) details that Oprah Winfrey’s visit to India quickly turned sour this week, when her own bodyguards got into a scuffle with Indian media, according to Reuters (1/19012). When Winfrey decided to drop in on the Hindu temple town of Uttar Pradesh without any advance notice to visit a center where child widows are abandoned by their families, Indian journalists wanted to get a glimpse of the cable network owner. However, her bodyguards were not keen on the idea, and a fight broke out.

“Oprah Winfrey was in one of the ashrams where the widows stay. Journalists wanted to go in, but were refused entry,” Superintendent of Police for Mathura region, Prem Gautam, told Reuters.

According to Reuters (1/19/2012) Vijay Kumar Arya Vidyarthi, a reporter of the Press Trust of India news agency, said one cameraman was “manhandled” by Oprah’s security guards because they were angry that he climbed a wall to film Winfrey. In response, the journalists threw stones at the bodyguards. Police were called, and they held Winfrey’s security team until they wrote an apology letter to the media.

Explore Talent’s proprietary software and vast infrastructure is the most advanced entertainment-based technology of its kind. The site’s popularity is based on the fact that there are many ways for talent to network, make friends and connect with other industry players, participate in wide variety of contests and earn prizes for being active on the site. The easy access to a pool of six and a half million members attracts industry players who are posting every month about 50,000 new auditions and job openings which is 30 times more than any other site.

Little Bear Sees Launches First-Ever App for Children With Cortical Visual Impairment










Honolulu, HI (PRWEB) January 30, 2012

The new mobile app will help children with cortical visual impairment (CVI) improve their vision.

The Tap-n-See Zoo app, released this month, features animal characters that float across the screen. When children tap the screen, the animals come toward their finger, providing an interactive activity that helps them to improve their eyesight while learning cause and effect. It has been developed by Little Bear Sees, a company that aims to help children with cortical visual impairment (CVI) learn how to improve their vision.

“We are very excited to launch this app, which is truly the first of its kind to help children with CVI,” said Aubri Tallent, co-founder of Little Bear Sees. “With intervention, it is possible for children with this condition to improve their vision significantly and make remarkable progress, which is why we do what we do.”

Developed for the iPhone and iPad, the Tap-n-See Zoo app provides a simple cause and effect platform that will entertain all children, including those without CVI. Its full version is customizable in a number of ways, including the ability to change the background color, the types of animals that appear, the reward sounds and the size, speed and color of the animals. There is also a “lite” version available.

In the future, Little Bear Sees plans on creating additional apps that include more complex features, which will allow for even more advanced learning. The company will also continue working toward helping kids with CVI and other visual impairment disorders through its website, upcoming book and additional products.

“Like this new app, Little Bear Sees is based on our family’s experiences with our son, who has CVI, and our struggle to find doctors and therapists who knew how to handle the condition,” said Tallent. “There are many stories of children not receiving the help they need because of misdiagnoses, and so our goal is to change that.”

Little Bear Sees (http://littlebearsees.com) is dedicated to raising awareness of CVI and providing families around the world with the resources they need to help their children improve their vision. The full version of the Tap-n-See Zoo app is available at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tap-n-see-zoo/id491247565?mt=8.

The blog, (http://news.exploretalent.com/oprah-winfreys-bodyguards-fight-with-indian-journalists/) details that Oprah Winfrey’s visit to India quickly turned sour this week, when her own bodyguards got into a scuffle with Indian media, according to Reuters (1/19012). When Winfrey decided to drop in on the Hindu temple town of Uttar Pradesh without any advance notice to visit a center where child widows are abandoned by their families, Indian journalists wanted to get a glimpse of the cable network owner. However, her bodyguards were not keen on the idea, and a fight broke out.

“Oprah Winfrey was in one of the ashrams where the widows stay. Journalists wanted to go in, but were refused entry,” Superintendent of Police for Mathura region, Prem Gautam, told Reuters.

According to Reuters (1/19/2012) Vijay Kumar Arya Vidyarthi, a reporter of the Press Trust of India news agency, said one cameraman was “manhandled” by Oprah’s security guards because they were angry that he climbed a wall to film Winfrey. In response, the journalists threw stones at the bodyguards. Police were called, and they held Winfrey’s security team until they wrote an apology letter to the media.

Explore Talent’s proprietary software and vast infrastructure is the most advanced entertainment-based technology of its kind. The site’s popularity is based on the fact that there are many ways for talent to network, make friends and connect with other industry players, participate in wide variety of contests and earn prizes for being active on the site.
