When was the last time you saw an eagle descend from the sky, or stood in awe as a glacier cracked and an ice berg emerged?

Imagine your sense of wonder as you glide past glacier after glacier or your first sight of a cresting whale. While we have much to be proud of in our Alberta parks, I think Alaska is mother nature’s most spectacular show piece.

This year over 30 ships are providing you the incredible delights of warm, pampering service combined with the awe of this magnificent journey.

Remember, there are no roads to Glacier Bay, nor to many other top Alaskan attractions. That’s why exploring these pristine areas by ship is such a privilege.

Cruising Alaska offers us breathtaking views of Alaska’s natural wonders, as well as nights of thrilling entertainment, fine dining, pampering service, and an endless variety of activities.

From the moment you depart the convenient port of Vancouver, this will be the vacation you have only dreamed about.

As you cruise along the Glacier route, you will experience a magical, unspoiled land where walls of ice rise up from crystal blue seas and landscapes of wild flowers give way to snow-capped peaks.

Alaska is a mecca for lovers of wildlife and vast wilderness. It is a place where you see sea lions gathering to bathe in the sun and the bald eagles circle overhead searching the waters for salmon. And you might see humpback or orca whales as they acrobatically breach the water’s surface.

You’ll be spellbound by the beauty of the Inside Passage. You’ll pass quiet bays, wooded islands, innumerable mountains and waterfalls cascading from granite cliffs - a panorama interrupted only by sightings of sea lions and whales frolicking in the waters around you.

Even more fun can be had as you visit ports as interesting as Ketchikan, southerly most port on the Inside Passage route and known as the “salmon capital of the world”. This port is also renowned the world over for its famous totems. Enjoy a stroll down famous Creek Street, the towns “red light” district; visit Misty Fjords, America’s newest national monument or attend the “Salmon Bake” and sample the local fare.

Juneau, Alaska’s capital and your first taste of the gold rush era, is a contrast of wild, natural country and thriving city. Explore the fascinating City Museum, quaint St. Nicholas Church and stop at Juneau’s favorite watering hole, the Red Dog Saloon.

The treasures beyond the city limits will beckon you too. Tour Mendanhall Glacier by motorcoach or helicopter. This river of ice, with craggy rock sentinels 3,000 feet above sea level is a natural wonder.

Skagway, a magnet for gold-seekers in the late 1890’s, was referred to as the “roughest town on earth” with its over 80 saloons. You can relive the racy Klondike days in this colourful turn-of-the-century town where cancan dancers and other entertainers in 1890’s garb will welcome you or take an authentic horse drawn taxi into town and explore the “Trail of 98″ museum.

The plank sidewalks, false front buildings and narrow-gauge White Pass and Yukon Railroad will make you feel as if you were back in the days of the Gold Rush.

On northbound cruises, you’ll also visit Sitka. When Alaska was still Russian territory, this was her glittering cultural centre in the West. Today, evidence of Russian culture can be found in the priceless icons and paintings of the onion-domed St. Michael’s Cathedral. Remnants of Sitka’s Indian culture are preserved in the National Historic Park.

A cruise to Alaska us the ideal vacation for couples, families, single people, honeymooners and fun-lovers of all ages and interests.

And there is no other way to do it with so much ease, affordability and excitement than by modern cruise ships.

Comparison sites are all the rage as people endeavor to preserve money on their motoring costs. All The Same, how do the sites work and do driver need to pay more to use them?
The hypothesis behind a Comparison Insurance web site is certainly a noble one. A user visits the site, puts down their details, and they then receive quotes from a selection of insurance companies facilitating them discover the best policy.

Nevertheless, the sceptics among us will wonder what’s in it for the company? It is clear that even though Insurance Comparison sites are free to use, they must make a profit in some manner.
The simple answer , is they do. Nevertheless, they don’t actually cost the consumer any cash. This is because comparison websites make nearly all of their money through two of sources - advertising and commissions. Each time you are redirected from a comparison site on to a provider’s site, the comparison web site realizes a referral commission - it is almost identical to a finder’s fee becuase they are arranging your business the way of the insurance company.
The good part however, is that this additional cost is not passed on to the car owner. In fact, many insurance companies even offer better deals through compare sites than they do on their own online internet sites because be reported as the cheapest car insurance company.
With some financial products it’s comparatively simple to discover the offers availiable - for instance, if you are taking out a loan you would usually search for the cheapest rate of interest and provided there are none hidden fees and charges to consider, the cheapest deal is the victor.
Naturally many another people will still feel grieved that the comparison site is getting a commission. All The Same individuals
can constantly remember that if the insurance firm does not pay off the commission to the comparison web site they could be paying a insurance broking agent. In reality the money not paid in commission would have been spent on TV ads to draw you in to their brands anyway.
That’s because likening deals on the basis of which is the cheapest won’t inevitably aid you in bagging the greatest insurance policy.
For example, one car insurer might be cheaper than the other - only this may only be because its cover has more exclusions.
The only way to check the best company for you is to obtain quotes from all of them - but of course the expectation of ringing around more than forty suppliers is daunting at best. So when you next start looking online for car imports insurance think that it might be smarter and more cost affective to start with a insurance comparison web site.

Antidotes for an Alibi

These poems read to me like poetry versions of flash fiction. Now, I like flash fiction very much, but I like the more fabulistic kind. Amy King is writing the fabulistic kind of flash fiction — I want to say, “the good kind” — in poetry. What does this mean? Well, when lineated, the line breaks in the poems point to the jumps in the narrative. When not, the poems still take the same little leaps that poems take. I guess I’m struggling with the new sentence this morning. I am not seeing “torsion” as I understand it, nor am I looking for it — I am just saying that these poems have little leaps in them that flash fiction of a similar type does not. For example, this poem, “Evening In,” is a story of screening a particular kind of call:

Evening In

Mother phoned the premature death
of father to me. A machine shuffled
her words. I played back the story
of my childhood and grieved.

Now, I would probably end the stanza here, or title it something different. In any case, the evening in begins with a message in a machine. I would think flash fiction might use “the machine” and not jump so quickly to “story of my childhood.”

After
dinner, blocks of toddler teak wood
fell, then floated, mistaken for cork.
Household acts boiled over Aunt Max’s
black pot rim where we succumbed
to the likelihood of work. We were all
enchanted when the little kettle dripped
and wrote proverbs to complete our pact
with amazing accents. Dessert hints
wafted past raised cups of homeground
coffee, whiskey-tinted, under
the blue haze of living room light.

In this second part of the poem, the progression is chronological. After dinner, some french press coffee and dessert. I don’t think “household acts” and “dessert hints” would be in flash fiction. They are too mysterious. Interestingly, the references to fables and fiction continue, in “enchanted,” “writing,” “proverbs,” “pact, ” and “accents.” The line break after “dripped” makes it unclear whether the kettle (presumably whistling) is writing or that “we” who are enchanted are writing. But overall, a little story of a poem, which is recognisably a poem, not fiction.

In the next-previous prose poem, “Land into Sea,” the jumps are between sentences — I don’t see each sentence doing as much heavy lifting as in a poem, and I see bigger jumps between the sentences. I also see bigger jumps — associative ones — than in fabulistic flash fiction. It has the logic of some poems where the themes are established, play together a while, and then reach a conclusion. We start with a relatively concrete example, a fabulistic but also realistic fear:

On the car-hugging road, I am shocked that one day I fall
asleep and the stray dog could die.

Not the road is hugging the car, not the car the road (as car commercials would have — did you know most city car commercials are filmed in downtown LA?). In any case, car, road, sleep, dog, death. Very clean and neat. Then, out of the shrubbery at the side of the road — a crowd.

These orders of truth awaken self defense, so urge the crowd, “Betray yourselves.” Every fugitive deserves retreat at depths the bathysphere can’t reach.

Who is the fugitive? The narrator? The dog. The dog and the narrator. The narrator is more likely to fall asleep and die than fall asleep and kill a dog. I.e., life is fugitive. So you see, by figuring out the difference between the first sentnce and the second sentence, you’ve got poetry, because flash fiction tends to spell this sort of stuff out, not point all sorts of different directions. But, note, this is sentences which are addressing different people and having different characters, not necessarily “torque-ing” as I understand it.

Since lame-o short reviews usually mention the title, I’ll say — I like this title and the way is points to the flash fiction in poetry theme. For what is an alibi, but a very specific sort of potentially verifiable narrative. And what is an antidote to that, but the fabulistic.
