The Machame Route is the most popular of all the routes up Mt Kilimanjaro and it offers the mountain climber fantastic scenery and panoramic views. Also known as the "Whisky Route" it is also the most challenging, much tougher than the easier Marangu or "Coca Cola" route. Accommodation on this route is in tents and the climber has to face steeper climbs over long distances accomplishing the feat in 7 days of rich hiking experience.
After the brekfast drive to Machame Park Gate, this normally takes 40min to get to the Machame Gate.On arrival you go through the registration with the park authority as we weigh the bags and food, this process normally takes like at least 45min depending with the number of people. The Kilimanjaro trek in this World Heritage Site begins at the end of the tarmac road, walking for about 6 hrs, gradually ascending through the cloud forests of Kilimanjaro and onto giant heather forested hills at Machame Camp (2850 m).

Originally from Russia moved here 16 years ago. Still speak fluently and working on writing and reading now. Currently attending a University with one more semester till graduation. As I don't get too much free time between school and work, but I still find it. We only live once. I like spending time with friends and family. Family is big. I like going out to bar or night clubs, and staying at home or watching a movie is always good. With so little of free time, I don't have time for games. I always go by the theory of "if I am not happy or my girlfriends is not happy, or we just don't see a future in this. We have to tell one another, and not waist time. I like hockey and going to watch the blues as well.

Good co-op game, a little repetitive and bland

The controls are tight and responsive and the graphics are up to par with current generation titles though nothing really spectacular.
After shooting enemies, the death cinematic are a little anticlimactic compared to other third person shooter's.
The co-op segments feel forced and some feel really unnecessary. There are several places where the co-op segment could be removed with the addition of a jump button. And why do you need both characters to open a door that one could pass through faster.
The level design is a bit better than the first game. However the levels are still really linear but they feel a little more open than the first game.
In single player, your partner's AI has been improved from the first game and he will no longer drag you into the middle of a fire fight to heal you.
The first game was a mess of glitches that at times resulted in your character begin trapped inside of objects and the like. The second AOT has a much higher level of polish and game breaking glitches seem to be nonexistent.
Overall, Army of Two: The 40th Day is a solid third person shooter and a good co-op game if not a little repetitive and bland.

Controls are jittery, layout on paddle non-sensible
Unbalanced game play, difficulty spikes and crests inexplicably
In-game cut scenes cannot be skipped
Customization options often border absurdist or poor in quality
Sound is grating
Reviving your partner often involves an obligatory "grab, drag, pause and turn" before actually beginning the healing process.
Ludicrous AI spawns
Best played with the dumb-as-a-brick AI partner; a real one is a sure fire way to get into a fistfight that night.

Weak attempt to enhance Ao2

2 out of 6 gamers (33%) found this review helpful
- Camera angles are over the shoulder now, instead of having a 360 degree vantage point. Easy to get camera stuck into a wall when evading enemy fire. Easy for enemy to kill you, even if you can't see them.
- Gave blind fire a more realistic mechanic, no longer can get cross hairs and also the shots are more sweeping.
- Allow weapon modification whenever not in combat - Good. Locking many upgrades, even with sufficient funds and buying lower upgrades - BAD!!!!
- They did install some new group decision mechanics which alters money and which route the players take. (assassinating contacts, etc.) This is an ok attempt to change things up.
This gets a weak rating, as I would much rather go back to normal Ao2.

Not Impressed

I'm going to be honest. I havent even played the game for more than an hour, but thus far? I am really un-impressed by it. Lackluster combat system, last-gen graphics, some bad voice acting all make this game a horror story for me.
In my book, this is the exact kind of game I like staying away from. Maybe some people think this kind of game is acceptable these days but I dont. These days, video games can offer a lot more than just mindless shooting and stabbing with some crazy random jubmled story. Just look at games like Heavy Rain or Drakes Fortune. Both prime examples of great story and gameplay.
So as I see it? This game isn't even worth the slot it uses up when you rent it. You could definitly have something better in it. I would reccommend this to nobody.
Very Good

Story: A little bit cliché. But, action lovers may find this appealing. Tons of strategic gunplay battles but leaves you wanting more but never lives up to the standards you set ahead of time.
Gameplay: Clunky transitions, Weird A.I movement.
If you're feeling a action shooter game. This maybe something that will hold you over until the next big shooter comes along then go for it. As for a peek into new innovation and shooting gameplay I would say pass.
Very Good

It was supposed to be a Monday.
Mondays are rarely ever cute. I decided I was going to make the most of my Monday by being low-key. In other words, I was going to do NOTHING. I think I did enough last week. I deserve a day off… right?
Then midday, I logged onto Facebook. I had no intention of checking out social media sites, email or even answering my phone. Seriously… my phone had been ringing since dawn and the chimes alerting me of incoming messages was enough to throw a pillow over it to muffle the sound. I had no reason to be contacted by anyone on Monday… and if it were urgent, there would have been at least three back to back calls. Never happened, so I didn't even bother checking Caller ID. But I gave in to this nagging little voice that told me to connect with the world… and when I did… I had an Oh. Em. Gee. moment.
An author I am connected to on Facebook congratulated me on the USA Today review. After asking what was she talking about, she posted a link. I was so shocked, I fell back on my bed and hit my head on the headboard. Yeah… it really hurt, but who cares. I was featured in USA Today without having committed a crime!
We poppin' bottles, (explicit phrase that may or may not offend some readers)!
Yes, after I waited to make sure I wasn't going to pass out from a concussion from hitting my head and then all of the celebratory dances I reenacted, I felt like I was in a Drake video… It went something like this.
I know I did not "make it" yet and not sure if or when I will, but for an hour or so, an observer would have been making calls reporting suspicious behavior. I was THAT excited and over the top. (By the way, it took me fifteen minutes to find a clean, clear edit of that song and if you don't watch it at least once I will give your phone number to telemarketers.. I'm just sayin'.)
Then I got scared… and I kind of panicked. I've been doing that a lot lately. I mean a lot. To the point where I may or may not need counseling services to get through it. Okay, it's not that severe, but it's bad.
And then I hopped in my car and took off driving that afternoon. A thing I do when I need to clear my head, but lately I have had so many thoughts running through my head so that was probably not the best idea. Ultimately, it led to a Starbucks dumpster diving expedition. (I accidentally threw something very valuable away and didn't realize it until midnight Monday night… I will never be that distracted ever again. I'm still soaking in bleach to get rid of the memories.)
But the truth is, I feel like this…
Yeah… exactly. Big difference from the chick at the top that will have some serious explaining to do if she ever got pulled over by the cops while smelling like an NBA locker room post championship.
Every year, there are a handful of films that are worthy of Oscar buzz. And when they make the cut, the masses look at each other confused wondering… "Have you heard of Cadillacs on the Western Horizon in March?" And we all shrug because none of us have heard of this movie, but it's supposed to be a piece of art with great acting and beautiful dialogue. It will make you laugh, cry and even change your life. So we all go to the theaters to see it. Of course we go. It's the latest, greatest thing and everyone is going to see it so we can have the once in a lifetime opportunity to judge and see if this great movie is a great movie. Ironically, this movie is available on DVD and has been shown on a few flights from time to time, but now with the Oscar buzz, it's in all the major theaters so you must see it on the big screen.
You know you will become exiled if you don't give in and go see it, so you buy your tickets and sneak in some Goobers because who wants to pay four dollars for a box of Goobers? You wait, even suffer through the people crowding you, because they don't observe the unwritten single seat between strangers rule in movie theaters. And then the movie starts… and ten minutes in you groan silently. The movie is just okay.
And you start to miss every other line because in your head you debate if you should give in to the hype of the movie or are you looking at it objectively. I mean… everyone else is into it, so why don't I like it, you might ask yourself. Some possibly even walk away believing that the film studios created a marketing campaign that led us to believe it was the must see movie when in fact it obviously wasn't. Either way, the movie didn't live up to the "hype" of it and you are now pissed.
Okay, maybe pissed is extreme, but you are ready to tell anyone who mentions they want to see it that it was *shrug*… just a'ight.
You walk out the theater with all of the Cadillac viewers and some are just sighing romantically with a few sniffling into their crumpled tissues. You on the other hand think, what the heck was that??? I can think of ten movies that deserve that nomination. But did the movie fail you or did it fail the hype?
And the poor Cadillac writers, director, producers, actors and even the catering crew have been floating on a high because their little fourteen dollar budget film is getting recognition, but they have no clue that they are on a very delicate pedestal now. And the day after the Oscars the voice of public opinion will be unleashed… the people that helped it earn $100 million the month before Oscars suddenly agree it was just so-so… great movie on it's own merit, but now hype has made it just okay. And their once happy, content world in the place where they ranked has shifted. They went from big fish in a little pond of indie filmmakers to small fish in a vast ocean… oh and they only learned how to doggy paddle up until then.
I can't even swim. Well I used to know how, but then this really cute guy at my friend's pool when I was young thought it would be fun to throw me into the deep end and I nearly drowned so I was kind of traumatized and scarred and well, I have these recurring nightmares about drowning, too… so I just dip my feet in or wade in the shallow end. I really don't like swimming, just relaxing in water… oh crap, I am rambling. You really could care less that I don't know how to swim, huh?
So where were we? Oh yeah… we were talking about platforms. No, wait. I meant, pedestals…
The pedestal is something author JK Rowling tried to avoid when she penned a novel under a guy's name recently. She wanted her work to be judged on its own merits and without people scrutinizing it for her Harry Potter success or even loving it because of her Harry Potter success. I am not JK Rowling, but I know exactly how she feels and every other person that wanted to just embrace their passion without the extra… and I am scared of extra.
My unspoken motto has been I just want to grow as a writer. The Love Sessions was a personal test for me… the shallow end test without my floaties and swim board. Of course I got into the pool ready to attempt the back floating test, but I primarily focused on the doggy paddle. I was no longer afraid of the water… well some bodies of water. Let's not get carried away.
I once wanted to be good enough according to my own standards, but now there is pressure to be more than good enough for you so if hype ever enters the picture, I can survive it. Don't get me wrong, I want to be great for you – the reader. I just never felt the pressure of it all on a level like this.
But I am ready.
I am eager to take on the task of plunging into the water even though I just learned how to doggy paddle… and a paper bag to ease hyperventilation is no longer needed (besides it will get all wet and soggy in water). Now that I have crawled out of the scary little corner, I am determined to learn how to do the breaststroke so when (not if) my time comes, I don't have to drown in that overwhelming ocean.
And who has time to drown in an abyss of their own fears? With all of these characters floating around in my head waiting to be penned, I know I don't.

Haiti will need $11.5bn over the next three years to rebuild following the massive earthquake that flattened much of the capital, Port-au-Prince, in January.
The Haitian government and international agencies released a draft of the Preliminary Damage and Needs Assessment (PDNA) plan on Tuesday to a gathering of representatives of 28 nations in Santo Domingo, the capital of neighbouring Dominican Republic.
Alejandro Zapata, the UN regional assessor for natural disasters, said that the figure is an estimate, of which two-thirds should go to refashioning the poverty-ridden country by addressing social inequalities.
The PDNA, put together with the UN, World Bank, and Inter-American Development Bank, is to be used as a framework for reconstruction talks to be held with major donors in New York, in the US, on March 31.
The proposal addresses economic and governance issues in the country, including reforming the judiciary.
The funds would be needed for "reconstructing the state and the economy in the service of all Haitians," the report said.'Unprecedented situation'
The report was published two months after the January 12 earthquake killed more than 220,000 people in Port-au-Prince and its surrounding towns and villages.
"The earthquake has created an unprecedented situation, amplified by the fact that it struck the country's most populous region and its economic and administrative centre," the report said."The total amount of money needed stands at $11.5bn and breaks down like this: 50 per cent for the social sector, 17 per cent for infrastructure including housing, and 15 per cent for the environment and disaster risk management," it said.
However, Patrick Delatour, Haiti's tourism minister, said that the actual figure needed could end up being anything between $8bn and $14bn.
The 7.0 magnitude earthquake caused damage of more than $7.9bn - about 120 per cent of the country's gross national product (GDP) - according to the report.
About 70 per cent of those losses were attributed to the private sector while $4.4bn of damage was to public buildings and infrastructure.
The government said in the report that they would develop infrastructure and new economic opportunities outside Port-au-Prince and decentralise power during the reconstruction process.

In a privacy statement released in the wake of the NSA surveillance scandal, Apple says its proprietary messaging and video chat services are "protected by end-to-end encryption so no one but the sender and receiver can see or read them."
Even Apple employees, the statement says, cannot read such communications. Also, the company adds, "we do not store data related to customers' location, Map searches or Siri requests in any identifiable form."
As The Verge points out, a Drug Enforcement Administration memo that leaked in April complained that it is "impossible to intercept iMessages between two Apple devices."

Earth Abides is not a typical post-apocalyptic novel. It doesn't present a world of mutants, giant cockroaches or bands of marauders. It simply shows the slow and inevitable decay of man and all his works, in the teeth of attempts by the protagonist to restore the old ways of civilization. In that it succeeds beautifully and shows us the grandeur of our world and the majesty of what we have wrought...then compares it to the greater majesty of nature and the eternal gaze of time. The novel works best as a family drama, more Swiss Family Robinson than Mad Max, and has no sensational adventures to offer other than the daily tribulations of life. For man may be a great creature, but he is still small and the world doesn't really need him at all...
Earth Abides is the most meditative and serene post-apocalyptic novel I've ever read, and it's recommended for more thoughtful readers who won't be easily bored.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you, George R. Stewart,
Glenn R. Anderson (Orlando, FL United States) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Earth Abides (Hardcover)
George R. Stewart's "Earth Abides" was written in 1949, so of course there are some anachronisms that occasionally jolt the reader. The Giants play at the Polo Grounds and the Dodgers at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. There are no interstate highways and radios all have vacuum tubes.
These minor historical curiosities aside, what truly amazes is the timeless of Stewart's story. How many science fiction novels from 1949 still rate the glowing reviews of "Earth Abides" you will find here? By comparison so many modern sci-fi stories are formulaic, written with short, choppy sentences, shallow characters, and action sequences ready made for transfer to the screen.
Stewart's vision of the future, where education and especially reading, slowly fad away after an apocalypse applies more to today's world than that of his own. His characters have little ability to bring back the technological remnants of the dead world, and truly, if 99% of the people on the planet were to disappear how many of us have the skills to keep the power going, the water flowing, and automobiles running decades after the disaster? His characters adapt to their environment in the most natural way.
In the nearly four decades I have been reading books this is one of a handful that has made a memorable impression and which I consistently continue to recommend.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic... At First.,
"Men come and go, but Earth abides." These chilling words written by George R. Stewart leave the reader feeling bare and stripped in the popular science fiction novel "Earth Abides." A novel I read and still can't decide what to think about it.
This book is filled with puzzling situations, frustrating moments, and mind-bending problems that make the reader ask, "What would I do?"
Plague has struck the world, and people are dying by the millions. A lone survivor, Ish, on a mountain camping trip manages to fend off the disease with snakebite. He returns to a frozen, empty world, and is determined to find civilization and life in the seemingly dead planet. Most of the people he meets are in shock, having seen the horrors of death and destruction of the planet and are stupefied, unable to talk sense or even take care of themselves. One man Ish comes across is drinking himself to death; only eating things out of cans and seems only half-alive. Through his journey's, Ish has a growing urge to settle down and establish life as he knew it again. He alone must save the human race.
I thought this book was very interesting, at first. The beginning was intriguing and exciting to think about. But after a while, the idea became old, and boring. Ish just begins to muse over the world's pathetic state, talk about how he's the only intelligent person left, and even starts to become a little snobbish to say the least. The way women were used merely as wombs, though logical in such a situation, got a little annoying also. The detail and wordiness left my mind to wonder away from the book, and I even recall something as simple as a storm drain overflowing taking up two pages to talk about. Ish's endless attempts to get people to think and work for themselves also become a bit momentous and bothersome. It really makes you want to slowly go crazy along with Ish, as you read his "bible", page after page of musing nonsense. I really wanted to tell him to start enjoying life and give up on trying to control everyone's thoughts and actions, just to let things go. But there were moments of truly beautiful writing and raw honesty that drew me out of the droning slump. When Ish finds something to believe in, though, it was really disappointing to have it destroyed so suddenly. Ish becomes so obsessed with saving the world, he becomes very self righteous and stuck up, he transforms from a hero into someone you are sick of and increasingly angry with. The author looses his grip on the story and turns the book into a guide of what to do if you find out the world's population has come to an end, and it's up to you, being the only truly sane and intelligent person, to save the planet. The character's personalities fade, and you are left with a bunch of names and occasional dialogue.
The novel begins with a bang, and ends with a whimper, which makes the reader want to whine as well. It was not something I'd want loved ones to read, but I would highly recommend the first two hundred pages, and then move on to something else. The people who say they truly enjoyed this book through and through, in my opinion, are liars. It's a thoughtfully written piece, and deserves the recognition it receives, but if you are looking to be entertained, find another book, "Earth Abides" will leave you out in the cold.

1.0 out of 5 stars Earth Abides,
"jackal38" (NY, NY) - See all my reviews
The idea of an apocalyptic end of our planet and of humankind has always been extremely prevalent in society. From religion to movies, theories of annihilation can be found everywhere. But few books attempt to tackle the subject of life after the end. I think George Stewart wrote this book in the 60's and I wanted to see what his ideas were on that subject. The premise was great, but I was extremely disappointed with Earth Abides because Stewart brings in many themes/ideas but never goes into any of them in any detail whatsoever. There is absolutely no emotional connection with any of the characters,and even less so with Ish, the main character. I felt like I was waiting for something to happen throughout the book, and it never came. The author attempts to tackle way too many "big" subjects at the same time, and in the end,he fails. The only reason I gave this book even one star is because the reader can learn about how the world may deteriorate in the future when man is no longer here.One could say that that is a positive thing.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Flat Earth,
Having loved this story 20 years ago as a teenager, it pains me now to find that it is surely the worst novel on my bookshelves. All the characters are two-dimensional. The dialogue is uniformly stiff and amateurish. The story's hero is arrogant, aloof and dismissive of anyone he perceives as inferior. Since he actually perceives *everyone* as inferior, the book quickly becomes very tiresome. Perhaps the saddest aspect of "Earth Abides" is that the story is clearly and shockingly the fantasy of someone who dreamed of existing in a world without people, or at most with just a thin sprinkling of simple folks over whom he could rule as their intellectual master. "Earth Abides" is a truly awful book.

4.0 out of 5 stars What Man Wrought,
Jeffrey Swystun (Toronto & Mont Tremblant) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Earth Abides (Paperback)
Earth Abides, written in 1949, tells the story of the fall of civilization from deadly disease and its "rebirth". It is actually three books in one: the disintegration of the world, the establishment of a new collective culture, and the moral weights of leadership. I initially read it as a post-apocalyptic novel and was rewarded with a philosophical treatise on the loss of a way of life and the dangers of man oversimplifying himself. The development of the tiny band's subsequent generations is more terrifying than a plague wiping out the planet. It is a story of 'what man wrought' but not in the way one anticipates. Originally classified a "science fiction" novel, now, with time, it must be categorized as literature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally believable sci-fi,
Ce commentaire est de: EARTH ABIDES (Mass Market Paperback)
It blows my mind to imagine a book like this having been written over 50 years ago as it deals with the end (and reformation) of civilization in a way that is believable and lacking artificial plot devices to keep things moving and interesting.
Amazing that a book of this era could present the death of the American way of life as a positive ending (and still get published).
5.0 out of 5 stars A timeless story of a global biological holocaust,
Roger J. Buffington (Huntington Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews
The premise of this novel is that mankind suddenly experiences a biological holocaust in the form of a new disease--a form of super-measles that wipes out all but a tiny remnant of mankind. The author explains that "mankind had too long been rolling an endless succession of sevens" and that like all animals that had multiplied out of turn, the sudden catastrophe was inevitable to set the balance back to what nature intended. This novel tells the story of a very small group of survivors, and suggests what life would be like under in the aftermath, and perhaps, more profoundly, what such a scenario might mean for mankind.
The author's premise is that little or nothing of civilization would survive such an event. In the story **very minor spoiler** although the survivors make attempts at preserving the skills and lessons of civilization, this eventually becomes impossible against the tide of events sweeping mankind back not just to barbarism (in which some skills and beliefs might have survived) but to downright savagery and superstition. The most profound thought that the author successfully imparts is that all of the traditions, skills, and manifestations of our civilization could--and would--be lost in a single generation. Unforgettable is when one of the characters in the story looks out at the ruins of the San Francisco Bay Bridge (before it too passes away) and asks--"who built this." The protagonist thinks for a second and answers: "the Americans built it." The next question is "who were the Americans?" I have never forgotten this exchange, which I felt illustrated brilliantly how important it is for one generation to impart the best ideas of civilization to the next, and how easily all our achievements and successes might be lost in the face of a global catastrophe.
The reader need not and probably will not agree with all of the author's conclusions about what would happen in this scenario. Would we really lose the skill of a written language? Would we really fall all the way back almost to the Old Stone Age? The author will challenge the reader's own thoughts on this subject, and that is fine. One need not agree with all of the conclusions that the novel contains to enjoy this story.
Although written many years ago, upon re-reading this novel recently I found that it had lost little or none of its impact or relevance. It features a bit more prudishness than a modern novel might contain, but in my opinion is none the worse for this. The story is well-told, the prose is quite good, and the storyline moves along all the while capturing and retaining the reader's interest. This is a novel that I would recommend to everyone.
5.0 out of 5 stars Ancestor of King's "The Stand" Offers Far-Greater Reality,
Christian E. Senftleben "christian__s" (Costa Mesa, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Stewart's books was perfectly creepy and emotional. I identified with the protagonist greatly, and do not feel he was too passive or overly-cerebral. Truth be known, in the few crises I have known, I've often reacted much like him. Okay, I'm a little more attached to things than he is, but I feel this is a plot contrivance to allow the story to go forward.
Having read and re-read "The Stand" quite a few times now, I was struck by Stewart's decision (1) not to gather large groups together, (2) not to restart civilization (e.g., electricity, running water, et al), and (3) to cover such a large span of time. "The Stand" covers perhaps up to a year after a plague wipes out 99% of the human race. This book covers over a half-dozen decades. I feel that all three of these decisions demonstrated a far more likely result than King's use of dreams as a "deus ex machina" to gather persons into two camps for the "final conflict" between good and evil.
Born in 1976, I am only now becoming aware of these post-apocalyptic classics. I have now finished "On the Beach" by Nevil Shute, "Alas, Babylon" by Pat Frank, and of course this one. The first two dealt with the all-too-real Nuclear Nightmare that even I experienced (though all those younger than me can't even remember there being a USSR). Shute's book was "a stern warning of things to come" and "Alas, Babylon" was more of a man vs. nature story.
But this one, it dealt with the nightmare that first captivated me in "The Stand" - a world decimated by plague, leaving the infrastructure intact. While Stewart did not pick up the thread the way I wish he had - that is, some form of civilization being preserved, rather than yet another "Time Machine"-style primitive culture that barely recalls our culture. However, Stewart does spend a great amount of time talking about the decay of this world, and that fascinated me. Storm drains clogging, water seeping into houses and rotting the carpets, termites collapsing houses over the work of decades, dust settling into the corners of the Golden Gate Bridge and grass growing there, and the work of rain and frost on the Northeast roads. All of this riveted me.
My biggest complaints are mostly minor, such as (1) how could running water go on for 20 years? (2) why did it take so long for the electricity to run out, and the biggest one (3) why were there no signs of panic (e.g., looting, riots, massive traffic jams as swarms of panicked people ran about in civilization's death throes, et al).
My biggest gripe, however, is spiritual. Nobody in this book, even former churchgoers and clergy, feel any need to reach out to God. Admittedly, I'm biased, being a Christian, Biblical scholar, and future University prof. But I am a rational being, and I feel a rational argument can be made for the spiritual side of man, a characteristic that even the protagonist recognizes, even if he can't properly articulate, let alone address, this "God-shaped hole" in each of us.
Now, I realize that science fiction, even more than other genres, allow us to paint on a blanked canvas (the devastated world) our worldviews on such things as man's innate goodness or evil, the necessity or redundancy of God (e.g., church, Scriptures, etc.), the expression of our social nature, the necessity (or redundancy) of modern technologically-dependent society, and so forth. I understand that we're not all going to agree; I don't feel it's my job to insist on homogeneity amongs everyone. However, if I wrote a book along these lines, I would make sure to include atheists, skeptics and agnostics, along with members of other religions (at varying degrees of dedication) along with those persons I feel "make sense" from my perspective. While by no means do I feel "all religions lead to God" or that "you just need to be sincere," I do agree that any description of a post-apocalyptic (or any other) reality, in order to be fair to the multiplicity of human thought and experience, must recognize that "it takes all kinds."
That said, I did find myself chilled by the spiritual apathy evidenced, among other things, by the community's perception of "Evie," the mentally-challenged pariah. "We don't want no idiot children ruining the gene pool" the protagonist declared in some fashion on numerous occasions. While I may see, in a survival-based world, the necessity of taking precautions, I did feel that the cold and unfeeling attitude ("should we have even let her live?" Ish asks himself repeatedly) was frightfully inhumane. There is no "all are created equal" here, no "all are God's children" here. While I understand expediency, I do not feel it must be carried out heartlessly.
However, apart from this one real gripe, I truly do recommend this book to anyone interested by such things, like me. After borrowing this book from a library (copies are hard to find!) I've decided to buy it. I suppose that's the best recommendation I can give...
5.0 out of 5 stars A Remarkable Book,
Marc Friedlander "Libre" (Howard Beach, NY United States) - See all my reviews
Having just finished reading Earth Abides, by George R. Stewart, my mind cannot put it down. When I began the book, I expected an apocalypse type novel, and it is that, but it is very much more. I was drawn into the existence of the main character, Isherwood Williams, in such a profound way that I am quite at a loss without him. He is not a formula hero, in that he has human frailties. He is a ponderer and a worrier, much like me. Perhaps that is why I was able to relate to him so easily. He takes nothing at face value, instead he is always fretting, contemplating, and evaluating. His successes are mitigated and his blessings are mixed, as is often the case in real life. There is nothing about the book that is formula, which is a rarity in this genre. On the contrary, it is a truly original work, replete with both adventure and philosophy. The writing style flows beautifully, without an unnecessary phrase or a word out of place. It is a true work of literature, one of the best books I ever read. I am sure that its effect on me will endure, and I will remember this book and its vivid characters for the rest of my life.

Effective regulation emerged as a key theme for the development of the credit derivatives industry, according to an industry discussion forum hosted by inter-dealer broker CreditTrade in London last night.Speakers noted that participants and regulators needed to better understand and manage the risks associated with new products and the growing use of cross-sector risk transfer between insurance companies and banks.
"These are complex and bespoke deals," said Clive Briault, head of prudential policy at UK regulator the Financial Services Authority (FSA). "Issues such as operational risk, pricing difficulties, lack of transparency and cross border-transactions all need to be considered, as well as inadequate senior management understanding and scrutiny of deals."
The FSA, the UK's main financial watchdog, along with the Bank of England, have voiced public concern on a number of issues regarding credit derivatives, including whether risks are genuinely passed on to counterparties and the exposure of the insurance sector to the credit derivatives market.But Briault insisted the FSA was not "seeking to kill off the credit derivatives market". However, he added that the risks inherent in the business needed to be properly managed, and stated that, currently, in some cases they may not be.
"The CDS market needs to put more energy into regulation issues," said Tim Frost, head of credit trading for Europe at JP Morgan Chase in London. JP Morgan Chase is the largest participant in the credit derivatives market and trades about 150 contracts on about 45 names during a busy London trading day. Speakers said transparency and visibility in pricing was also key to facilitating the effective growth of the market. "With the continuing evolution of contracts, we need an accurate approach to mark recovery rates and correlation risk," said Frost. "The market's ability to calculate this needs to keep pace with the growth of the credit derivatives markets."

After reviewing traditional Christology and the various liberation Christologies including black, Hispanic, Asian, white feminist, and women of colour, the author explores whether and how "queer" might be a social location for Christological study, concluding with the view of Christ's person and work from a queer perspective.
"Christology from the Margins" not only articulates a queer Christology but also engages in a "queering" of biblical texts that have only ever been read through the lens of heterosexual perspectives in the past. With a strikingly engaging style, this author examines an area of study that will continue to attract students and scholars for the foreseeable future.
'Christology from the Margins is a marvelous and clear survey of ancient and contemporary understandings of Christology in one volume - useful for college and seminary students
Tom Bohache was ordained in 1988 and has worked in primarily gay and lesbian denominations since then, whilst also being involved in teaching students preparing for ordination. He has published in the fields of New Testament and liberation theology and is currently in a doctoral program at the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

Faked, Forgotten, Found: Five Renaissance Paintings Investigated Museum curators and conservators recently uncovered a 16th-century painting beneath the surface of what they suspected to be a 19th-century fake. The painting, which been in museum storage for over 30 years, was evaluated with other works in 2013, when CMOA Conservator Ellen Baxter found intriguing evidence of its origins. This exhibition peels away the secrets of this and other works from the collection.06/28/2014

The Obama administration's signal late last week that the federal government would continue to offer contributions to the health care premiums of congressional staffers appears to clear the way for Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) to lift a hold on the nomination of Katherine Archuleta to head the Office of Personnel Management.
Coburn announced at a July 31 Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee meeting his intention to block a quick floor vote on Archuleta's nomination until the administration made clear its position on health insurance benefits for congressional employees who are being forced out of the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program and into insurance exchanges created by a provision of the 2010 health care overhaul.
Under the law, members and staff are required to move to exchanges. But the provision does not specify whether the government is allowed to make contributions to defray premium costs. Many lawmakers feared that staffers would have to pay their entire premiums out of pocket, which could induce many to leave for more lucrative private-sector jobs. Hill staffers are scheduled to begin enrolling in the exchanges Oct. 1.
Coburn is waiting to review the regulations before commenting on whether the administration has satisfied his request. OPM is expected to publish proposed regulations governing coverage for Hill staff later this week.

2010 Nobel Prize Laureates
Elsevier congratulates the 2010 Nobel Laureates and their prominent findings in the fields of Medicine, Physics, Chemistry and Economics. We feel privileged to have had the opportunity to work with several of these remarkable scientists in the creation and publication of their award-winning research. To celebrate and salute these outstanding scholars, we are pleased to make the articles they have published with Elsevier freely available to the scientific community.
2010 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
Elsevier congratulates Cambridge scientist Robert G. Edwards, Editor Emeritus of Reproductive BioMedicine Online, who has been awarded with the 2010 Nobel Prize in Medicine for the development of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF), a breakthrough that has helped millions of infertile couples worldwide to have children.
Along with former research partner Dr Patrick Steptoe, their ground breaking research led to the first live birth of an IVF baby in July 1978. The success of their pioneering work was modestly announced in a letter to the Editor of the Lancet in August of that year.
According a statement released by the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine committee in Stockholm, Robert G. Edwards's achievements have made it possible to treat infertility, a medical condition afflicting a large proportion of humanity - more than 10% of all couples… Approximately four million individuals have been born thanks to IVF... Today, Robert Edwards' vision is a reality and brings joy to infertile people all over the world.
Access a variety of freely available articles published throughout Professor Edwards' career
2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
Elsevier congratulates Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi and Akira Suzuki for being awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for palladium-catalyzed cross couplings in organic synthesis".
The scientists were honored for discovering more efficient ways of linking carbon atoms together to build the complex molecules that are improving our everyday lives. Palladium catalysts in general have higher chemical yields and higher functional group tolerance. Palladium-catalyzed cross couplings are an investigative chemical tool that has vastly improved the opportunities for chemists to create sophisticated chemicals, directly enhancing product development in pharmaceutical and electronics industries, for example.
The Reactions in brief:
The Heck coupling is the palladium catalysed carbon-carbon coupling between halides and activated alkenes in the presence of a base.
Richard F. Heck, Professor at the University of Delaware, has published in Inorganica Chimica Acta, the Journal of Organometallic Chemistry and Tetrahedron Letters.
The Negishi coupling is the palladium cross coupling reaction which uses an organozinc compound, and an organic halide to produce a new carbon-carbon covalent bond.
Ei-ichi Negishi, Professor at Purdue University has published in Heterocycles, Inorganica Chimica Acta, the Journal of Molecular Catalysis A: Chemical, the Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, Polyhedron, Tetrahedron, Tetrahedron Asymmetry and Tetrahedron Letters.
The Suzuki coupling is the palladium-catalysed cross coupling between organoboronic acids and halides.
Akira Suzuki, Professor at Hokkaido University published one of his first papers on Pd coupling, in Tetrahedron Letters. He has also published in the Journal of Organometallic Chemistry and Tetrahedron. <link to product pages>
In 1987 Richard F. Heck published the book Palladium Reagents in Organic Syntheses (Best Synthetic Methods) (out of print) with Academic Press. Heck, also contributed a chapter, Vinyl Substitutions with Organopalladium Intermediates to the 1991 book Comprehensive Organic Synthesis, Volume 4.
Ei-Ichi Negishi contributed a chapter, "Zirconium-promoted Bicyclization of Enzymes" to the title Comprehensive Organic Synthesis, Volume 9. In 1982; he also contributed several chapters to Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry, Volume 7. More recently, the author wrote a chapter, "Vinyl- and Arylmetals" for the 2005 book, Comprehensive Organic Functional Group Transformation and "C–C Bond Formation (Part 1) by Addition Reactions: through Carbometallation Mediated by Group 4-7 Metals" for the 2007 title Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry III, Vol. 10. These chapters are only a few of his several contributions.

2010 Nobel Prize in Physics
Elsevier congratulates Andre Geim, Advisory Board Member to Physica E: Low-dimensional Systems and Nanostructures, former Editorial Board Member of the same publication and Professor of Physics and Royal Society 2010 Anniversary Research Professor at the University of Manchester, United Kingdom, and Konstantin Novoselov, Professor and Royal Society Research Fellow at University of Manchester, United Kingdom, for being awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize 2010 in Physics "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene".
This year the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the discovery of graphene, a simple yet remarkable material with very unusual properties. The use of graphene is expected to have a major impact on the development of new computers, electronics, materials and solar cells.
Besides publishing many of their own papers with Elsevier, Andre Geim has served as Guest Editor, organizing several topical issues on graphene for Solid State Communications.
Konstantin Novoselov, contributed a chapter, "Graphene: Electronic Properties", to the 2008 title Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology.

The 2010 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel
This year the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for two scientific achievements that have lead to practical innovations in everyday life and have enhanced the means for scientific and technological exploration. Elsevier would like to congratulate the winners with their impressive achievements.
Charles K. Kao was awarded one half of the prize "for groundbreaking achievements concerning the transmission of light in fibers for optical communication." His interest and enthousiasm inspired and innovated researchers to engage with the potential that was to be found in the field of fiber optics.
Williard S. Boyle and George E. Smith received the other half of the prize "for the invention of an imaging semiconductor circuit- the CCD sensor."
In recognition of the importance of their work,
we are pleased to make the laureates' key articles published by Elsevier freely available.

DeskSpace 126.96.36.199
DeskSpace is probably the best choice in this particular category, as it provides up to six desktops that can be easily controlled using a few keyboard shortcuts.
Control multiple desktops with the aid of a cube
DeskSpace was built for multiple purposes, amongst which the most important ones are to offer you an effortless way to expand your desktop space and to avoid and eliminate desktop clutter.
With this tool, you can work with multiple desktops and switch between them for more productivity. It does so by letting you navigate a desktop cube, whose faces are practically the six desktops you are currently handling.
Unobtrusive running mode
There is no interface to the program, managing it can only be done from the system tray menu, but this does not bring major inconveniences. From here, you can change the way the application works, including wallpapers and names for each of the virtual desktops, keyboard shortcuts and icons.
The system tray menu also allows you to manage the window dragging and window compatibility settings and to tweak the system tray icons and menu behavior.
Seamless navigation
The thing we liked the most is definitely how quick the application actually works. Switching between two desktops takes less than a second, despite the visual effects that you see every time this process takes place. We must admit that we had no idea that the 3D effects we've seen on Linux distributions gifted with Compiz are also possible on a Windows machine.
An efficient desktop organizer
To sum up, DeskSpace is a great way to organize your desktop efficiently, thus gaining more space for your windows and icons. Switching between the desktops is a stunning visual experience achieved in 3D.

Rob Zombie returns to the theater with his latest directorial effort, the horror film The Lords of Salem. The movie features a stellar cast including Sheri Moon Zombie, Meg Foster, Judy Geeson, Patricia Quinn, Dee Wallace and Bruce Davidson. The story deals with the curse of the witch Margaret Morgan on the town of Salem and its effects on a beautiful, young DJ, Hiedi Hawthorne. The film features a bevy of Zombie driven visuals from giant bigfoot like creatures to mummified priests and, of course, a coven of witches. Listen as Doc and Santos debate how successful Rob Zombie is with the film and how wonderful and frightening Meg Foster is as Margaret Morgan.
Discussing a new trend in horror television, the grue-crew circle VOD horror content on Netflix and Amazon with the TV series Hemlock Grove from Eli Roth and Zombieland from the writers of the feature film. Hemlock Grove takes it serious with a town full of bizarre characters and creatures while Zombieland goes the zombie-comedy route mixing gore and hilarity. After delving into each series, the topic shifts to the impact such content has on the future of horror television.
In this episode's news section, Dave discusses Dexter's final season and the possibility of a spin off series. Will it feature Deb in all her cursing glory? We can only hope! Next is information on the sequel I Spit on Your Grave Too. The BluRay specs are in from Scream Factory for John Carpenter's The Fog. And Dave ends his segment with fascinating updates about the release of Still Screaming, a documentary about Wes Craven's Scream franchise.

Northern RI Conservation District is seeking agricultural producers to lease land at Snake Den Farm, a 150-acre farm in Northern Rhode Island.
Click here for the application for land, and read more about the Snake Den Farm project.
For additional resources about the farm, including opportunities, amenities and the application process, click here.
For business planning resources, click here.
For more information on the soils, please see this soil map table and refer to the Soil Survey of Rhode Island. Click the links for more information on wetlands, topography, and field numbers & acreages.
In November 2013, the Northern RI Conservation District signed a lease with the RI Department of Environmental Management to oversee the management of historic Snake Den Farm, a 150acre farm located on Brown Avenue in Johnston. The farm is located within the boundary of Snake Den Park, a 744-acre State Park that stretches from Hartford Avenue to Greenville Avenue, along the Brown Avenue Historic District. The farm was founded in 1789, and was maintained as a working farm for over 200 years. For more information on the history of the farm, click here.
It is the Northern RI Conservation Districts mission to use a sustainable, conservation-minded approach to bring historic Snake Den Farm back into agricultural production. Using this approach, we strive to:
While getting the land back into production is NRICDs primary goal, in time we are working on developing a program to create a center for agricultural education, re-open the historic farm museum to the public, and make Snake Den a community attraction. We are looking forward to community involvement in our project and want to make it a place for the public to learn and enjoy.
Wish List
We have some start up needs that we are hoping our community of partners, friends, neighbors and those who have invested in the property in the past and have a fondness for this farm may be able to assist with.
We need:
If you have any of these items that are in excellent condition and are willing to donate them, please contact us and we will arrange a pick up.
We are also taking donations to alleviate some of the start-up costs involved with this project. First and foremost, we are looking to get the second floor of the farmhouse up to code, which is a cost that exceeds $12,000. We have a very limited budget for this large undertaking, so anything helps! If you are interested in making a tax deductible donation to Snake Den Farm, please call us at 401.934.0840. Right now we accept checks, and should be able to take credit cards shortly.
Interested in learning more about this project?
Contact us and we will be happy to assist you!
