Sound: This is a typical Rammstein album. Combining classic sounds with pulsing heavy guitar that rocks the foundations of your house. The guitar sound phenominal and, when combined with the drums, synthesised sounds and lryics it sounds pure awesome! The whole album combines guitar and synthesized sounds. Unlike other nu-metal bands, they use their nationality to make them unique. The heavy guitar, synthesized sounds and the mix between German and English makes them completely unique (to the best of my knowledge) in this genre. // 10
Lyrics: I can't comment on 99% of the lyrics used by Rammstein because I cannot speak German. But the use of english in "Amerika" makes their lryics mostly unique. Not many bands can say that they sing in both English and in German, around 80% of "Amerika" is sung in german but the chorus, which is sung in english "We're all living in Amerika, Amerika is wunderbar..." makes them different. The notes and tones that lryics are sung in fit in with the heavy guitar that is used. // 8
Overall Impression: Compaired with other artists in this genre, e. g. Slipknot and Korn this album outclasses any albums that I have heard from ether of these bands. But however there are many awesome albums in this genre, like Toxicity, that are just as good as this album. And I'm sure that there are many better albums out there. In general, this album is a good as it is because of the use of language, guitar and synthersized sounds to make their songs. If I ever lost this album I would certinaly buy it again. I fully reccommend buying this albumand other Rammstein albums like "Mutter." // 10
Sound: Rammstein's 2004 release of Reise, Reise was the high point of my 2004 year. This was shortly followed by the equally amazing Rosenrot. Rammstein is one of Germany's hardest working bands, and their music shows this. The album cover is inspired by a blackbox. The CD slip itself says "Flugrekorder, nicht offne." Which means "Flight recorder, do not open." // 10
Lyrics: 01. Reise, Reise (Arise, Arise) - Reise, Reise is the first song of this CD. Rammstein uses it's old meaning, which is "Arise, Arise." The more modern translation means "To voyage." Anyway, onto the song. The opening is a black-box recording from a plane crash in Japan. Which is then followed up my drums and what sounds like "Ho... hey... ho... hey." This song is about voyaging the seas.
02. Mein Teil (My Part) - this is one sick song. In Germany someone posted on a forum "Seeking a young 18-30 year old male willing to be slaughtered. The Master Butcher." He found someone... And before he killed him, the man requested his penis was cut off. Then the murder victim and the murderer ate it together. Sick, huh?
03. Dalai Lama - Till's voice is complimented by a lead bass (I play bass, I love lead bass). The name of the song comes from the fact that His Holiness The Dalai Lama is afraid to fly. So what's the song about? A plane crash! Really good vocals and an awesome chorus.
04. Keine Lust (Don't Feel Like It) - man, Doktor Flake Lorenz's keyboards rock in this! Till's voice is gruff! And the guitars rock! It's a trifecta from heaven! Kind of sexual lyrics, in a sense. But it doesn't matter, does it? It's Rammstein!
05. Los (Go/Less) - I take this as the forming of their band. "We were nameless, and without songs. A little songless, but we are not toneless. You do hear us." It's a real nice song, Till's voice rocks as usual. Pretty simple music, actually. But it's good.
06. Amerika (America) - rock on. This song is excellent! I don't know if it's "antiAmerican" or not but it kind of sounds that way. Rammstein is talking about how American culture is everywhere. "We're all living in America, Coca-Cola, wonderbra!"
07. Moskau (Moscow) - "This song is about the most beautiful city in the world. Moscow!" That's how the song opens. Very good. Till's voice is complimented by a Russian female's voice. A nice mix.
08. Morgenstern (Morning Star) - I like this song. Till's voice is unusually gruff at the beginning. But during the chorus it picks up and it operatic! It's unbelievable. It's actually pretty good. He's talking about an ugly girl, but at the end of the song he says "Now I see with my heart, She is beautiful." A nice message.
09. Stein Um Stein (Stone By Stone) - stalker-ish. Till is talking about walling someone in stone by stone. They will never be able to get out. They will be part of the foundation. "I will always be with you."
10. Ohne Dich (Without You) - a love song. A good love song. I really like it, Till's voice is soft, the music is soft. It's just really good. Every once in awhile a song comes along that leaves me wordless - this is one of those songs.
11. Amour (Love) - a song about love! A very true song also! "It drops softly like snow. First it gets hot, then cold, in the end it hurts." Very true. Till's voice is VERY deep on this track, and the music is very good. // 10
Overall Impression: This is Rammstein. The amazing Ramming-Stone. This is a buy, you have to buy it. Actually, why are you still reading? Go buy it! It's excellent, like all of Rammstein's CDs. I'd buy this CD if I lost it (which I almost did, and my heart dang near failed). I love the CD. There is nothing to hate here. This is one of their best CDs! // 10
Sound: I think that the sound of Rammstein gets better as each album comes out, they add new elements to each album. Till's vocals have seemed to improved. The guitar playing of Richard Z. and Paul Landers) is the same old powerful guitar it always was (which is a good thing.) Flake's keyboarding is only getting better, I really like it in "Amerika" and "Stein Um Stein" Christoph's drumming is still amazing. // 10
Lyrics: I can't comment much on the lyrics, but I've seen the English lyrics to "Mein Teil", "Amerika", and "Keine Lust" and they're all amazing. Till Lindemann still sounds like the same old Till with his powerful voice, which comes to play in the chorus of Mein Teil. // 10
Overall Impression: I don't think any bands right now in my books could come to par with Rammstein. All the songs are impressive, the only song I didn't like was "Amour", but it will probably grow on me. If it was stolen, I would get a new copy right away. // 10
Sound: Many people think of a brutal german band when they here Rammstein, especially if they only heard songs from "Herzeleid" and "Sehnsucht" (which are probably the most aggressive albums).
With "Mutter" and "Reise, Reise" Rammstein proofed itself as a multifaceted band which impulsive songs and quiet romantic songs.
At the beginning is the single "Reise, Reise". The choice of this song as a starter makes sense: First, the title is the same as the album title, and second, this song shows the new Rammstein style. Accordion and melancholy atmosphere at the beginning and in the end, and in between the typically Rammstein riffs.
Songs like "Mein Teil", "Moskau" and "Amerika" are pretty known. These are from "Reise, Reise", too.
Later the music gets more quiet, at least the intros like from "Stein um Stein" or "Amour". Actually "Ohne Dich" seems so odd that I first thought of anything else but Rammstein!
The first romantic songs appear with "Ohne Dich" and "Amour". The topic of love is not mentioned in the first three albums so clearly.
Flutes, more keyboard and an real "sing" voice are really refreshing after these aggressive songs.
"Los" is maybe the one which is outstanding: we actually find an acoustic guitar on Drop C Tuning! Yes, an acoustic guitar. I like it so much and reminds me on Alexi Laiho playing acoustic guitar metal on the streets and gets caught by the police (youtube it!). Really awesome work.
9/10 because I personally don't like "Moskau" and "Mein Teil" too much. The sound of both is too loud compared to the other songs, when i drive around in my car listening to "Reise, Reise", all is fine. But the next song "Mein Teil" blasts my ears off! // 9
Lyrics: As you probably know, Rammstein sings most of their songs on german.
The Lyrics are artistically, too. Sadness, cannibalism, americanisation, love (3 songs!) are the main topics of the album.
"Los" takes another special part: we find lots of words belonging to los in it. "Los!" can mean "Go!", but appears in "gottlos" (godless) too. That's a nice idea of a song.
"Moskau" compares Moscow to an old prostitute, who's ugly but popular.
"Amour" compares the Love to an wild cruel animal.
"Stein um Stein" describes how a girl cemented alive in the base of her own tomb.
"Dalai Lama" is even a modern version of "Erlknig" by one of the most famous author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Instead of an ill child riding on the horseback with his father, this song tells the story, where a child (probably the Dalai Lama) is sitting with his father in the plane caught by a strong storm. You expect the plane to fall and kill the child (as it is dead in "Erlknig", too), but instead the father hugs his son fearfully so strong, that the boy suffocates.
Till Lindemann's father was author of fairy tales. I guess he learned a lot from him when I listen to that awesome lyrics. // 10
Overall Impression: The music gets more quiet at the End. This could be a symbol for "Reise, Reise" (Voyage, voyage): The voyage, which started at the beginning, makes the band disappear and so the music gets more quiet.
An other interpretation is that it shows simply the fear of changing things: the wish to finally go away at the beginning accompained by aggressive music, which shows the strong motivation and the fear of finally leaving at the end.
In both cases we are talking about an epic album that must have a place in every CD box if you like Metal. Even for girls and guys who mainly don't like Metal some romantic songs fit perfectly to them. A great album- maybe on of the greatest by Rammstein. // 10
Sound: Rammstein, the german industrial metal band, created this CD during 2003 and early 2004 in Malaga, Spain. This CD continues the bands previous work on mutter almost perfectly, but, I'd like to point out (to me) it is the first album of (as I call it) the bands mainstream era, with slightly more "pop"-y sounding songs compared to stuff from earlier CD's, but that, I mean, the album sounds more like stuff you would usually find playing on the radio more frequently...not that there's anything wrong with that, I still love the CD and it's currently my favorite Rammstein CD.
Aside from what I've written above, this CD still sticks to the old Rammstein way, to singing in german (aside from parts of "Moskau" and "Amerika"). From the CD onwards, the band started adding in lyrics from languages other than german, like Moskau, Amerika and, very briefly, Mein Teil. The songs pan across multiple styles, from the party sounding atmosphere of Moskau to to the power ballad that is ohne Dich.
It should also be noted that a section on Stein Um Stein sounds EXTREMELY like the bridge for Rosenrot, there is also a sample used is both songs aswell. // 9
Lyrics: This is the part that mainly explains the "mainstream era" I talked about earlier, the lyrics for this CD appear a lot more refined (not sure whether that's the right word), as in previous CD's, there are songs with lyrics that include incest (Spiel Mit Mir) , Hard sex (Rein, Raus), Rape (Weisses Fleisch), necrophilia (Heirate mich)..., and on this CD, there are hardly any traces of these things (aside from small references from time to time, but not whole songs about them).
The song list for this disc is as follows:
01. Reise, Reise (Arise, Arise): I beleive the lyrics rcanabalism
eference to a mutiny of a ship out at sea, but don't hold me to that.
02. Mein Teil (My Part): this is the only song that is about a taboo like subject I was talking about earlier, the Armin Meiwes cannibalism case in 2001 to be exact.
03. Dalai Lama (Dalai Lama): I beleive this song is about a plane crash, I haven't listen to this song enough times to figure it out, it's kinda like the black sheep song to me, the only song I don't like on the album)
04. Keine Lust (No Desire): this song is about the band being too successful for their own good, as I see it, as they can't be bothered to do anything (as One of the lines say "I don't feel like chewing anything because I don't feel like digesting it"). The video also shows a VERY good description of what the songs about, with the band all fat... with no desire to exercise it off.
05. Los (-less): this song does not mean the word "less", but actually the prefix "-less", due to this, it contains many plays on words. It is possible that it explains the experience of Rammstein as a musical group, but with the word play, it could be anything.
06. Amerika (America): this song is mainly about the dominance the US has over the rest of the world in ways of culture and how the entire world is persuaded in to doing things the same (like how you usually see 10 burger kings in the same city ;)). The video is also a good example of this, showing many places from a round the world, with what the US has done (africans watching a TV, monks eating fast food, a japanese biker dressed like "The Fonz"...). This song also has the first english lyrics to appear on a song by Rammstein (that's not a hidden track, like stripped, or altered version , like Du Hast and Engel)
07. Moskau (Moscow): for me, one of the best songs of the album. The song refers to the Russian capital of Moscow and features two perspectives on the city: its beauty and culture, and the undercurrents of corruption and prostitution., it is more of a part driven song, and features lyrics other than german (like Pussy from liebe Ist Fur Alle Da or Te Quiero puta from Rosenrot).
08. Morgenstern (Morning Star): Another one of my favorite songs from this CD, it is about a girl who is so ugly that she hides from the daylight so as not to scare it away, and at night she pleads with the morning star to make her beautiful... I ain't kidding.
09. Stein Um Stein (Stone By Stone): yet again, another song that is one my favorite list for this album, it is about a man building house with no doors, windows, fences, gardens... to entomb his victim alive, out of love, I think. There is a nice little play on words in the song, right before the solo Wenn ich sie in dein Leibholz ramm-Stein um Stein, due to the german grammar and conjugation rules, the verb ramm, meaning to ram must be placed at the end of the sentence. Thus, this creates ramm-Stein, wordplay alluding to the name of the band.
10. Ohne Dich (Without you): the power ballad of the CD, and it's a good one. Lyric-wise, it basically follows around the title "without you", about not being with the one you love.
11. Amour (Amour): final song, and is also a Ballad similar to the previous The song talks about love and the pain that goes with it. The song compares love to a wild animal that looks forward to catch and keep people with its long teeth and arms. It also talks about the subtle nature of love (lsst sich fallen weich wie schnee- it falls like soft snow) but also how it often ends ( am ende tut es weh- at the ends it hurts).
Tills voice compliments the music style extremely well, with his growly sounding voice, even for the ballads it fits very well.
Lyrics may have been held back a bit, compared to previous albums, but it still makes to a good album, not perfect though, as some of this taboo subjects fitted Rammstein very well. // 8
Overall Impression: Honestly, In my opinion, this is probably one of Rammsteins strongest albums, even though it felt a bit held back in the lyrics department. Definite buy for anyone who likes metal with a side of experimental-ness to it. Highlights of the album are definitely Moskau, Morgenstern and Stein Um Stein.
I loved the album mainly due to it being Rammstein (so this review will be biased), only down side was the lyrics, and lack of those good old subjects from previous CDs. // 9
Sound: The album sounds amazing. I've listened to every song many times, and I can't stop. The guitar is heavy in places but can also be quite soft. Either way, it goes exceptionally well with Till's amazing voice. As usual, Christoph makes playing the drums sound easy, as he effortlessly does more and more complex and mind-blowing drum riffs. Flake seems to have improved quite a lot since 'Mutter', or at least he is doing a lot more noticeable work. I couldn't wait for the album to come out, and when I'm at school I can't wait to get back home to hear it again! Who have we left out? Oliver. It wouldn't be complete without his amazing bass skills. This album is just as good as any other Rammstein albums, if not even better. // 10
Lyrics: Obviously, I can't understand the lyrics, as they're German. I can understand some, but not all. One thing I do know is that they work. I've always been a fan of Till Lindemann's amazing vocals, and he sings even better in this latest album. He uses deep, booming, heavy vocals mixed with soft quiet singing, which really works. I would say that Till is one of the best singers I've ever heard, probably THE best. // 10
Overall Impression: Rammstein have always been one of my favourite bands, and the release of 'Reise Reise' has made me like them more. No other bands can compare to them, they are 100% unique, and amazingly good musicians and singers. I really couldn't pick out any favourite songs from the CD, as they're all equally great. Maybe one of the things I could do without are the female lyrics in 'Moskau'. To me, they sound too much like they shoudl be on the Eurovision Song Contest, and sure the concert is fun to watch, but you wouldn't exactly call it great music would you? If someone stole this or I lost it, I would buy it again. If I had no more money, I'd do whatever I could to get it back. Overall: I love this album, and this band. // 10
Sound: I must admit the first time I heard the album I was a little amazed by the softness of some songs. But that was only the first time, after listening to it again and again. I can only say it is the best album they have made so far. November I'm gonna see them live here in the Netherlands. Get goosebumps just thinking about it. Till seems to be daring to sing more with every album his voice makes the hole thing sound awesome. // 10
Lyrics: Since I am from the Netherlands and we have German on highschool I do understand the lyrics they are as always excellent. Not afraid to sing about some topics other artist wouldn't dare singing about. Like a magician conjuring up a formula they seem to do the same with words. Thats what makes them even more unique. // 10
Overall Impression: It is what it is, there is no way you can compare Rammstein with any other band they have their own sound. The band keeps maturing with every album. // 10
Sound: Reise, Reise is nothing short of an absolute masterpiece. Rammsteins sound has taken the next step UP the ladder. Incorporating new instruments, like the harmonica, and exploring new techniques and ways to go about things has added to the whole experience. The opening Reise, Reise has a melodic richness about it thats in a way saddening, yet empowering. Mein Teil, an instant classic, a Rammstein song that everyone will love. Dalai Lama is one of the Rammstein songs driven by Christoph on the drums. When the guitars come in here though, it has Rammstein written all over it. Unmistakable. Keine Lust is a song that has a more 'developed' sound to it but still is Rammstein. Los is so awesome that I have to listen to it at least twice in a row everytime I hear it. An acoustic guitar for Rammstein? Of course! Richard or Paul, who ever is the one playing it has taken a simple guitar riff and permanently etched it in my mind. Amerika is getting overplayed.
It still is a totally kick ass song, but I've got to admit its one of my least favorite songs on the album. But to have such an awesome song as one of the least favorites only says that the album is great! Moskau, holy crap! What a song! The mix of German/Russian is perfect. The guitar is so so so 'love-hate'. It reminds me of hope in a communist Russia. This song is one of my favorites on the whole album! Moskau, raz dva tri! Morgenstern has a choir in it. A little bit risky, but the risk has paid off. This song is undoubtably good, but I caught myself thinking, I would have ended it here. Oh theres more, OK. It's kinda like that. Stein um Stein has confirmd for me that Till Lindemann is the best singer in the world. He sets the emotion for this song, and even though I can't completely understand the lyrics, I can tell what the point of the song is from Till's voice and the guitars, and Flake on keyboards. Ohne Dich is a soft song. It reminds me some what of Seemann, it has that rolling melody to it that makes you sit back and say 'Whoa!'. Plus, Olli backs Till saying 'Ohne Dich', his first time singing on a song. Amour, my favorite song on the whole album. Phenominal, this is the song that makes me appreciate the bands three year break. This song I can see being heard in movies all over, on commercials, all over the place. It is such a powerful song, it is just perfection! // 10
Lyrics: The lyrics of course are in Deutsch, with some Russian, and some English. Till has proved his excellency at taking the responsibility at vocals and going beyond whats required. The lyrics are still of the Rammstein humor thats caused people to squirm. But without question, it adds that little punch to the perfect song and makes it unforgetable. I know how to play guitar, only because the guitar is such a big part of Rammstein songs. Now, I'm learning German, just because the lyrics are so powerful in a language I dont understand, I want to feel what its like to actually understand them. I can't imagine what it'd be like. The lyrics are still fitting in flawlessly with the other instruments. The Russian woman in Moskau is a little treat I want to thank Rammstein for. Lyrics: just perfect! Flawless! Awesome! // 10
Overall Impression: Reise, Reise is now my favorite album, knocking Mutter down to #2. It has been arranged so that it can be listened to over and over and over again, with out having to skip any songs, or without feeling let down. Every song has made me say this is so cool! The album is just perfect. I don't know how many times I can say this, but its just awesome. I definitly recommend it to everyone. This is the best album ever, not only for Rammstein, but for any band. Rammstein has again shown that they are musical geniuses. Just straight up perfect! // 10
Sound: The sound of Reise Reise is more raw sounding than the predecessor Mutter. Though the strings are present there is greater emphasis on the guitar riffs which seem to be more present then ever creating a heavy sounding almost nu-metal feel to the album. Some critics have labelled it in the now seemingly overcrowded goth metal genre something which I don't really see but overall the sound is well polished to an extent where every instrument is heard accordingly and in time and rhythm. // 10
Lyrics: As various members of Rammstein have commented it is this album where Till really shines! Not only has he explored different techniques (a raised high distorted voice on Mein Teil) He has also had to adapt his voice to new styles such as down tuned guitars and an acoustic number in los. However he adapts well considering the deep rusk voice. The lyrics composed see Rammstein taking a normal approach with dark, romantic lyrics being chosen as well as the normal controversial lyrics as well. // 10
Overall Impression: Rammstein have progressed with each album adopting new styles to perfect a sound and this is a fighting comeback for a band that were always going to struggle to beat the incredible album of Mutter. But they have adapted and changed and though they can't beat Mutter they have just about matched it. But only just! For fans who adored Mutter this album can really be seen as a hit or miss record due to the expectations. For fans who adore Rammstein and the overall Rammstein sound its great to see this dark and often misunderstood band return. // 10
Sound: First of all, this review is more than likely going to be quite biased, I love Rammstein. They are hands down my favorite band. That ou of the way, this album is arguably Rammstein's greatest achievment. If you look at their past album's (Herzeleid, Mutter, Sehnsucht) they have very heavy, industrial-ish sound. Reise, Reise is one step towards "maturity" for them, the music is more balanced, flows a lot better, and overall is the most powerful and inspiring. If you listen to the songs Reise, Reise; Los; and Amour, you'll know what I'm getting at. The only songs I don't love with all my heart are Morgenstern, Stein Um Stein, and Ohne Dich (however depending on my mood, they can be the best songs on the album). They might not be as heavy as past songs, but they certainly have more power. The sound of this album is more moving than any other by Rammstein. // 10
Lyrics: First, many people choose not to listen to Rammstein simply because a majority of the songs are in German. This shouldn't be what is happening, Till's voice on this album is greatly improved from older albums. The transition from Herzeleid/Sehnsucht to Mutter is nothign compared to Mutter to Reise, Reise. Till enounciates much more clearly, and the way he rolls some words off his tongue during the songs is brutally amazing. The only thing I can say about the lyrics, is that the message in each song is so fun to figure out, translate the lyrics (there are sites that help) and interpret them to your own life, I find that every Rammstein song can be applied to real life in some way. Awesome. // 10
Overall Impression: This album, compared to all the other albums, is probably the best. Not even thinking about Rosenrot, this one takes the cake. Even if some days you can't listen to anything but old Rammstein songs, I always come back to Reise, Reise in the end. It is my alltime favorite Rammstein CD, and if you have never bought a Rammstein CD before, I recommend this CD, or Mutter. It gives a taste of every side of Rammstein, heavy, slow and soft, everything. Buy this CD. The most impressive song on this album, is definatly Reise, Reise. It start off slow and builds up to a magnificent ending. If someone stole this CD from me, I would buy it, and then go buy 20 more. It's that good. Don't beleive me? Go buy it yourself. // 10

A 74-year-old grandma says she was roughed up by NASA investigators and local law enforcement agents at a Denny's restaurant in California, and they took her moon rock, according to the Associated Press.
Last May Joann Davis was trying to sell the rock, smaller than a grain of rice, when the investigators swooped in and grabbed her so roughly she sustained bruises and lost control of her bladder. Officers apparently interrogated her for two hours, then let her go.
Today, according to the AP, no charges have been filed, and NASA isn't talking.
Davis says: The tiny rock was a gift from astronaut Neil Armstrong to her late space-engineer husband, and she was only selling it to help her sick child and leave an inheritance for her other offspring.
NASA policy says: Any and all material gathered from the moon during the Apollo mission is government property and can't be sold for profit.
Guess it's pretty obvious, NASA isn't handling this very well.
On the other hand, old age doesn't give anyone a free pass to break the law.
What do you think?

The Great Barrier Reef needs no introduction. Nestled in Queensland's Coral Sea and spanning over 2600 kms, the reef is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms called coral polyps.
Despite being such an extraordinary, irreplaceable natural resource, the Reef is constantly at risk. Over the past 40 years, ACF has worked to conserve this unique ecosystem and protect it from the threat of petroleum extraction, limestone mining, overfishing and trawling.
Perhaps our greatest success was influencing the expansion of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park in 2003 and 2004. Over 3500 dedicated submissions from our supporters to the Marine Park Authority saw environmentally protected areas of the Reef increase from 5 per cent to one third of its expanse.
Over the past 40 years, ACF has worked to conserve this unique ecosystem and protect it from the threat of petroleum extraction, limestone mining, overfishing and trawling
We pushed for the formation of a single body to oversee the reef, which resulted in the establishment of the National Park and the Maritime Authority. With the support of the community we advocated for World Heritage Listing for the Reef, which was achieved in 1983 after an extensive media campaign.
Today, the Reef faces ongoing challenges such as coral bleaching, caused by increases in water temperature linked to global warming. Melting sea ice and climbing global temperatures pose a real and pronounced threat to the viability of this national treasure.
We stand for the Great Barrier's ongoing preservation, so future generations can appreciate the diversity of life that flourishes in the Reef.

Please do write it up, I currently have a idea running in the back of
my head of making inferno drawtermable, and leveraging the recent
port of drawterm to os x. Then no need to use X11 for inferno.
There's probably a better/more simple way of doing this.

Shakers, one of many cults that flourished in the 19th century, are remembered mostly for their beautiful, simple-lined furniture. Only two of their communities survive, one in Maine and one in New Hampshire. Other settlements have been restored as tourist attractions. The author is a high school librarian in Ashburnham, Mass. He stresses the Shakers' influential early communities in central Massachusetts, where Mother Ann, the founder, based her ministry after she arrived from England in 1774. The author claims the cult's insistence on celibacy didn't cause its decline. Mass production, he says, made the Shakers' handmade goods relatively expensive, and they lost their self-sufficiency. As the 19th century ended, the young headed West, communal living became less popular, and it became illegal in some places for religious societies to take in orphans and other unwanted children. One student of Shaker life is quoted: "To find a group of people who have been living righteousness for 200 years instead of just talking about it is a rare and beautiful experience." (Harvard Common Press, $15.95)

It is Saturday afternoon and in the elegant auditorium at Dom Modi (House of Fashion) in Moscow, the crowd of 300 is buzzing. Suddenly the lights dim, music blares, and a spotlight at the end of the runway hits four stunning models wearing three-quarter length white wool coats. "Ladies, I want you to get used to the color white," a voice booms over loudspeaker. A second spot picks up the emcee and host of the show, designer Vyacheslav ("Slava") Zaitsev, 49, a vision of sartorial splendor in his black suit, winged collar and punky spiked hair. "White means discipline," he announces sternly. "Discipline is a key word in our state now. I advise you to wear white again. It will liberate you."
As the Soviet Union's pre-eminent couturier, the ebullient, flamboyant Zaitsev is not above enlisting political ideology in his campaign to educate women about fashion. From his pulpit at Dom Modi, he preaches, bullies and cajoles his audience; he instructs in lines, fabrics and colors. "Russian people have always led rich internal lives with lots of thirst for knowledge," he says. "But they have never cared about their external being and never looked good. It's not just a question of aesthetics. There's been no war for 40 years now. The standard of living is higher. I'm trying to open them up, to help them free their imaginations."
Zaitsev admits that is a struggle in a society that still outwardly condemns extravagance and prizes conformity. Yet signs of change abound. Most promising is the example of fashion-conscious Raisa Gorbachev. "She is serious about what she wears," says Zaitsev, who declines to say whether he designs her clothes. ("No, no," declares one of his assistants. "Raisa buys her clothes at the All Union House of Fashion over on Kuznetsky Most.") Zaitsev's semiweekly shows at Dom Modi are always sold out (women line up for hours to buy $4.50 tickets) and are crowded with foreign ambassadors, tourists, secretaries and even stocky working women who could be on their lunch break from a Moscow street repair crew.
Zaitsev, whose position in his own country is comparable to Saint Laurent in France or Calvin Klein in the U.S. (if they had no competition), works within limits unimaginable to his Western counterparts. He earns a monthly salary of 250 rubles ($375). He must use material alloted to him by the Ministry of Light Industry. (Denim, for instance, is nearly always in short supply, and he often has surpluses of heavy wool.) The Ministry's board must approve his designs and set his prices. (Zaitsev's friends Pierre Cardin and Saint Laurent regularly send him and his employees presents of shoes, cosmetics and Western fashion magazines unavailable in the U.S.S.R.)
Yet the very existence of Dom Modi represents a major victory for Zaitsev and forward-looking fashion forces. After years of lobbying he persuaded the authorities in 1982 to build Dom Modi, a state-owned, semi-independent enterprise that occupies a ten-story building and employs about 650 people. On the ground floor is a showroom where customers are circling warily around brightly clothed mannequins. Upstairs, Olga Zabotura, a 31-year-old Aeroflot stewardess, is placing an order for a red Zaitsev coat. It will take two months for delivery and will cost 230 rubles ($345), a month's salary. "You can't get this quality in the state clothing stores," she says. "It's a good price." (His casual wear ranges from 150 to 250 rubles, and evening clothes start at 250.)
Zaitsev reached the pinnacle of Soviet fashion from humble beginnings. Born in the town of Ivanova in central Russia, he was the son of a cleaning woman and a textile worker. An excellent student at technical school, he was admitted to Moscow Textile Institute. After graduation he was assigned to the Moscow House of Workwear. From the start he was controversial. He was roundly criticized by authorities for his first collection, bright floral printed overalls for workers (which, not surprisingly, never reached the assembly line). But the attention got him a job offer at the All Union House of Fashion, where he developed his name and his collections during the next 15 years.
Zaitsev's energy makes plausible his claim, "I care nothing for money. All I need is my work and my friends." Home is a three-room apartment a stone's throw from Red Square. On a weekend visit during which he serves tea and homemade cakes ("I'd be a chef if I weren't a designer"), he introduces Sergei, a handsome, blond, former Dom Modi model. "Seryozha is a poet," says Zaitsev, affectionately calling him by the diminutive. "He's been reading Baudelaire in the other room. He's very intelligent, but he has a job in a factory right now." Responds Sergei, pulling on a red armband for his obligatory weekend traffic patrol duty: "I hate it." On the walls are Zaitsev's small paintings and photographs of his son, Yegor, 25 (the product of an early marriage), who now works with his father at Dom Modi. "He's got talent, but he's young," says Zaitsev.
The two Zaitsevs may well become the U.S.S.R.'s first fashion dynasty. Yegor specializes in young men's clothes with a distinctly heavy metal look. ("I can do avant-garde better, but I will let him learn," says Slava paternally.) Their relationship is close but tempestuous. "First I started to resemble my father," explains Yegor over coffee in the Dom Modi cafeteria. "Then I decided I didn't like the main trend of Slava Zaitsev, classics and Russian folk style. Fashion is so international now I don't believe it's good to work only in this style. I have disagreements with my father, more every year."
Slava Zaitsev laughs. He is less concerned with age-old oedipal conflicts than with the current challenge of dressing his country's 280 million people. "There is solidarity between us," he says of Yegor. "We both realize that we have a big mission."

One of the top all-purpose performers in school history, Redmond began as a key special teams returner and blossomed into one of college football's premier running backs.
Redmond first saw key action as ASU's top punt returner for the Sun Devils' 1996 Pac-10 champion squad, while he also saw action behind All-American Terry Battle at running back and totaled 327 yards on 71 carries with two touchdowns.
After Battle left school a year early to start an NFL career, in 1997 Redmond paired with Michael Martin to form a sensational one-two punch, as he rushed 155 times for 915 yards to complement Martin's team-high 1,031 yards.
After Martin graduated, Redmond was ASU's clear-cut top rusher as he paced the squad in rushing in 1998 and '99. As a junior, Redmond rushed for 883 yards and then totaled 1,174 rushing yards as a senior in 1999. He scored 25 total touchdowns between his junior and senior seasons and he was a three-time First-Team All-Pac-10 selection.
In terms of the Sun Devil record books, Redmond stands third in career carries (633) and third in career rushing yards (3,299) while he also ranks fourth all-time among Sun Devils in rushing touchdowns (32). His 350 all-purpose yards against USC in 1998 remains a school record and Redmond ranks second all-time behind Wilford "Whizzer" White in career all-purpose yards with 5,617. ASU's punt returner all four years, Redmond also is the all-time school leader in career punt returns and ranks second in career punt return yardage.
Redmond was chosen in the third round (76th overall) by New England in the 2000 NFL Draft. He played three seasons with the Patriots, two with the Oakland Raiders and one with the Arizona Cardinals. Redmond was a key figure in New England's game-winning final drive in Super Bowl XXXVI.

22 – RB Woody Green (1971-73)
Undoubtedly the best running back ever to play for Arizona State, Green holds the school record with 4,188 career rushing yards, a total he reached in only three seasons of eligibility.
Statistically, Green carried 232 times for 1,310 yards with 12 touchdowns in 1971, then set a still-standing school record of 1,565 rushing yards on 234 carries with 15 touchdowns in 1972 and then capped his ASU career off by rushing 209 times for 1,313 yards with 12 touchdowns as a senior in 1973.
In total, Green owns three of the top six single-season rushing totals in ASU history, including a school record 21 100-yard rushing efforts.
A Consensus All-American in 1972 and '73, Green is one of only three Sun Devils to earn multiple Consensus All-America honors.
A First-Team All-WAC selection all three years, Green helped guide ASU to a sensational combined record of 32-3 including WAC championships each season and wins in each of the first three Fiesta Bowls. Green was named the Offensive MVP in the 1972 Fiesta Bowl after carrying 25 times for 202 yards with four touchdowns in ASU's 49-35 victory over Missouri.
In addition to being ASU's all-time leading rusher, he is the school record holder in career carries (675) and total touchdowns (48) and is tied with Terry Battle and Cameron Marshall for the highest rushing touchdown total in a single season (18). Green had sensational career averages of 6.2 yards per carry, 126.9 yards per game and 1.33 touchdowns per game.
After his legendary collegiate career, Green was selected in the first round (16th overall) of the 1974 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. Though he only played three seasons due to career ending injuries, Green carried 375 times for 1,442 yards while catching 58 passes for 562 yards with 11 total touchdowns.
Green was a charter inductee of both the ASU Sports Hall of Fame (1975) and Ring of Honor (2011).

23 – RB Travis Williams (1965-66)
Though his likely is not a household name among recent Sun Devil fans, Williams created lasting memories both during his time at Arizona State and in the NFL.
Williams came to ASU by way of Contra Costa Community College, the same school that produced 2013 signees Demetrius Cherry and Eriquel Florence. At Contra Costa, Williams starred in both track and field and football and in 2009 he was rated as the third-best athlete in school history. At 6-foot-1, 220-pounds, Williams was decades ahead of his time in terms of size and speed; during his junior college career he set a national JUCO record by running the 100-yard dash in 9.3 seconds.
As a Sun Devil, Williams was a two-year starter in the backfield and was ASU's leading rusher in both 1965 and '66, totaling 523 yards in '65 and 551 in '66. Williams totaled three career 100-yard rushing games during his two-year Sun Devil career.
After being drafted by Green Bay in the fourth round of the 1967 NFL Draft, Williams made a record-setting debut into the National Football League, as he unbelievably averaged 41.1 yards on kick returns, an NFL single-season record that has yet to be broken. Additionally, he returned four kickoffs for touchdowns in his rookie season, a single-season league record that has only once been tied and never exceeded still nearly 50 years later. For perspective, the second-highest single-season kick return average in NFL history (37.7) also was recorded in 1967 by the great Gale Sayers.
Williams' top overall season came in 1969 when he was the NFL leader in all-purpose yards (1,517) after he totaled 536 yards in 129 carries with four touchdowns, 275 receiving yards on 27 receptions with three scores as well as 517 kick return yards and 189 punt return yards in 13 games for the Packers. Overall that year, Williams averaged 8.2 yards per touch, which ranked second in the NFL.
After playing four years with Green Bay, Williams played for the Rams in 1971 before a knee injury ended his football playing career.
For his career as a return specialist, he averaged 27.5 yards on 102 kickoff returns with six touchdowns and 16.4 yards on 13 punt returns with a touchdown. He also totaled 1,166 rushing yards with six touchdowns and 598 receiving yards with five scores. In 1997, Williams was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame.
Williams' career and life in general took a tragic turn after his career was cut short due to injury as he ultimately returned to the Bay Area and became entangled with drugs and alcohol and eventually became homeless. He died on the streets of California of heart failure in 1991 at 45 years old.

Honorable Mention: RB Gene Foster (1962-64), FB Bob Thomas (1970), RB George Montgomery (1989-93), CB Courtney Jackson (1996-99), RB Tom Pace (2000-01)
A starter at halfback for the Sun Devils in 1963 and '64, Foster was ASU's leading rusher in 1964…Though he only lettered one year at ASU, Thomas' lone season as a Sun Devil was a memorable one as he became only the fifth recorded player in school history to top the 1,000-yard rushing mark…A starter for ASU's undefeated 1970 squad, Thomas totaled 1,033 rushing yards from his fullback position—as well as three touchdown runs in ASU's milestone Peach Bowl victory over North Carolina—helping him net Second-Team All-WAC honors…ASU's leading rusher in 1991 and the owner of four career 100-yard rushing games, Montgomery was a team captain and Honorable Mention All-Pac-10 selection as a senior in 1993…A three-year starter at cornerback, Jackson was ASU's leader in interceptions his final two seasons with the Sun Devils…Jackson earned First-Team All-Pac-10 honors in 1999 and Honorable Mention recognition after each of the two previous seasons…A key fan favorite during his time with the Sun Devils, Pace joined the team in 2000 as a walk-on but ultimately lead the team in rushing that season…Pac e was also a standout kick returner during his two seasons with ASU…After ASU, Pace went on to play five seasons in the Arena Football League with Arizona and Utah.
24 – RB Mario Bates (1991-93)
After a standout prep career in enemy territory for Tucson Amphitheater High School, Bates' career in Tempe was limited but not short on highly impressive efforts.
Bates began his career rushing 108 times for 473 yards with two touchdowns in 1991. In 1992, he began at a feverish pace with 441 yards and four touchdowns on 66 carries in only three games—including a 214-yard outburst against Washington—before suffering a season-ending injury. At the time of his injury, Bates ranked third in the nation in rushing yardage.
Fully recuperated in 1993, Bates was a grinder for the Devils, posting the third-greatest total of carries in a single season at ASU (246) while totaling 1,111 rushing yards with eight touchdowns, helping him earn First-Team All-Pac-10 honors.
Awarded a medical redshirt for the 1992 season, Bates surpassed two years of eligibility at ASU to enter the 1994 NFL Draft and he was chosen in the second round (44th overall) by the New Orleans Saints. He played in New Orleans from 1994-97, then back to Arizona to play for the Cardinals from 1998-99 before ending his career with the Detroit Lions in 2000. He totaled 3,048 career rushing yards with 38 touchdowns and 65 receptions for 419 yards in the NFL.

25 – S Mike Richardson (1979-82)
Perhaps the jersey number with the greatest abundance of talent, Richardson's multitude of All-America accolades enables him to take the cake among his elite peers.
A starter at safety all four years in Tempe, Richardson remains ASU's all-time leader in interceptions (18), including team-highs in 1980 (eight) and '81 (six). In 1982, Richardson finished third on the team with 127 total tackles—a year in which ASU had an astronomic total of seven players with at least 100 tackles on the year.
One of the most heavily awarded players in school history, Richardson was regarded as a Consensus All-American in 1981 and '82, with his senior season being a unanimous selection. Richardson remains one of only three Sun Devils to earn multiple Consensus All-America honors, joining RB Woody Green (1972-73) and S David Fulcher (1984-85). He also earned Honorable Mention All-America accolades as a sophomore in 1980. In terms of conference awards, Richardson was a First-Team All-Pac-10 member in 1981-82, a Second-Team pick in 1980 and an Honorable Mention selection in 1979. He was also a two-time Playboy Magazine All-America pick and was a team captain in 1982.

He finished his NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers in 1989.

ASU's leading rusher in 1962-63 and also a standout linebacker on defense, Lorick exemplified iron man football with his work on offense, defense and special teams.
In addition to his achievements as a ball carrier, Lorick returned two of his team-high four interceptions for touchdowns in 1963.

27 – HB Bobby Mulgado (1954-57)
The debate for the best to wear No. 27 is razor thin at best, as no Sun Devil has worn the number since Mulgado's career concluded in 1957.
Arguably the most versatile player in program history, the McKeesport, Pa., native created an impact in every way for Arizona State College—literally.
Mulgado formed a sensational one-two punch with Leon Burton from 1955-57, and in 1956 Mulgado had a team-best 755 rushing yards on 107 carries with eight total touchdowns. He followed that up with 681 rushing yards and eight scores as a senior beside Burton, with whom Mulgado combined for over 1,800 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns on the ground in 1957. Also that season, Mulgado hauled in a team-best six interceptions on defense. Also as a senior in 1957, Mulgado caught 16 passes for 339 yards and threw two touchdown passes.
The definitive "specialist", Mulgado was the nation's leader with a 19.1 yard-average on punt returns in 1957 with two touchdowns, while he also starred in the kicking game, leading ASU in punting in 1955-57 and kicked field goals and extra points as a senior.
In all, Mulgado totaled 93 points in 1957, second nationally only to his teammate Burton.
A team captain and First-Team All-Border Conference member as a Sun Devil, at the conclusion of his college career, Mulgado totaled 2,003 rushing yards with 21 touchdowns, ranking him second in school history at the time only behind legendary Wilford "Whizzer" White.
After his time in Tempe, Mulgado was picked up as a free agent by the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League before being selected in the fifth round of the 1959 NFL Draft by Philadelphia. In addition to his time with the Roughriders, Mulgado also played for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the CFL.
His number was retired the Sun Devil football program the season after his college playing career completed. In 2011, he was one of nine inaugural members of ASU's football Ring of Honor.
28 – K Thomas Weber (2007-10)
Weber arrived at ASU as a walk-on in 2006 and after four-year kicker Jesse Ainsworth departed, ASU handed him the reins as a redshirt freshman. Showing absolutely no first-year jitters, Weber put together perhaps the most sensational season by a kicker in school history as he ultimately earned First-Team All-America honors and became the first freshman to ever with the Lou Groza Award.
During his incredible 2007 season, Weber connected on 24-of-25 field goal attempts and also was listed on the All-Pac-10 First Team in addition to his national honors. Not just a standout on the field, Weber also garnered First-Team Pac-10 All-Academic recognition as a redshirt freshman.
Though his final three years didn't match the stellar quality of his first, Weber did continue to rack in additional accolades as a Sun Devil including 2008 Playboy Preseason All-America honors and Honorable Mention All-Pac-10 awards in 2008 and '10.
Weber concluded his college career on a high note, as he connected on five field goals in ASU's thrilling double overtime Territorial Cup victory over Arizona in Tucson.
Statistically, Weber hit 68-of-87 field goals (.781 pct.) with a long of 53 yards while he also made 136-of-143 extra points. In addition to his placekicking duties, Weber served as ASU's punter in 2007 and '08, averaging 39.2 and 41.4 yards in those two seasons, respectively.
In all, Weber stands second all-time at ASU in made field goals and points scored, while he also was a sensational student-athlete as he was a four-time member of the Academic All-Pac-10 team, earning First Team, Second Team and Honorable Mention (twice) honors. He also was the 2011 recipient of a postgraduate scholarship presented annually by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame.
Honorable Mention: SS/CB Raye Williams
A three year starter in the secondary, Williams played strong safety in 1976 before moving to cornerback the next two seasons.
29 – FS Nathan LaDuke
LaDuke, a premier athlete at Phoenix's Alhambra High School, was a versatile threat that chose ASU over a handful of scholarship offers including BYU, Nebraska, UCLA and USC.
A three-sport standout in high school, LaDuke was a state champion wrestler and an all-state pick in baseball in addition to his prowess on the gridiron.
At ASU, LaDuke was a three-year ball hawk in the secondary at free safety. A three-time All-Pac-10 honoree and a two-time Second-Team All-American; LaDuke was a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award in each of his final two seasons. The only player in school history to lead ASU in interceptions three seasons, LaDuke is ASU's career leader in interception return yardage (324 on 14 interceptions), while he also remains fifth on ASU's all-time list for total tackles (360). LaDuke's versatility also shows with the fact that he is tied with LB Brett Wallerstedt atop ASU's all-time solo tackles chart (238).
LaDuke was picked by the Phoenix Cardinals in the 11th round of the 1991 NFL Draft and he also spent time with the Arizona Rattlers in 1992, '95 and '96. He was inducted into ASU's Sports Hall of Fame in 2006 and into the Arizona High School Sports Hall of Fame in 2010.
Honorable Mention: CB/FL Bruce Hill, TB Jerone Davison, TB Michael Martin, OLB Robert James
Hill started at cornerback in 1983 before ultimately switching to receiver, where he was a starter as a senior in 1986…Perhaps his most notable achievement as a Sun Devil was his contribution to ASU's 1987 Rose Bowl victory as he hauled in a pair of touchdown receptions—including the go-ahead score—from quarterback Jeff Van Raaphorst to help the Devils take down Michigan…Davison was ASU's leading rusher in 1992 and garnered Honorable Mention All-Pac-10 recognition that year…After suffering a neck injury early in ASU's Pac-10 championship season in 1996, Martin returned to full health as a senior in 1997…That year, Martin returned with a vengeance as he rushed for 1,046 yards and was the recipient of the Gene Autry Courage Award, an accolade since also won by the likes of Anthony Robles and others who have overcome injuries and other physical limitations to thrive in athletics…An Honorable Mention All-Pac-10 selection and a team captain as a senior, Martin concluded his ASU career in style as he was named the MVP of the 1997 Sun Bowl after rushing for 169 yards with a touchdown in ASU's 17-7 victory over Iowa.
30 – SE Calvin Demery (1969-71)
When discussing the top receivers in program history, Demery is rarely mentioned in the same conversation as the likes of J.D. Hill, Steve Holden, John Jefferson, Aaron Cox, Keith Poole, Shaun McDonald and Derek Hagan, but his achievements rival many of ASU's all-time greats. In fact, statistically he remains one of the very best in school and very few Sun Devils at any position made as sensational of a debut as Demery did in ASU's season-opening 48-26 win over Minnesota on Sept. 20, 1969.
In his first game as a sophomore during a time in which freshmen were in eligible for varsity action, the Phoenix South Mountain High School graduate set school single-game records of 11 receptions for 201 yards against Minnesota, marks that stood until 1973 and '76, respectively. That year, Demery earned First-Team All-WAC honors after establishing single-season school records in receptions (45) and receiving yards (816) while also adding four receiving touchdowns.
After a knee injury limited his junior season, Demery became the favorite target for a first-year quarterback by the name of Danny White and again paced the Sun Devils with 43 catches for 641 yards with five scores as a senior in 1971, helping ASU claim victory in the inaugural Fiesta Bowl.
At the end of his career he was ASU's all-time leader in receiving yards per game (74.0), a record that stood for over 30 years until Shaun McDonald's 77.5-yard average from 2000-02.
Demery was selected in the eighth round of the 1972 NFL Draft by Minnesota, where, according to records, he played five games his rookie season.
Honorable Mention: QB Dick Mackey (1952-54), WR/TE Richard Mann (1966-68), SE Greg Hudson (1973), WR/DB Ron Brown (1980-82), TB Mike Crawford (1983-85), FS Jason Shivers (2001-03)
Mackey, ASU's top quarterback in 1952 and '54, was also the team leader in interceptions in 1953 and '54 and a team captain in '54…A two-year starter at wide receiver/tight end, Mann contributed to the program beyond graduation as the team's wide receivers coach under Frank Kush from 1974-79 mentoring the likes of John Jefferson, John Mistler and others…The Offensive MVP of the 1973 Fiesta Bowl, Hudson had a team-high 62 receptions that season in addition to 974 receiving yards and eight touchdowns…A two-year starter in the secondary, Brown also made an impact on offense including a 52-yard touchdown to close the door on Oklahoma in ASU's 1982 Fiesta Bowl victory…Brown gained his greatest recognition as a Track and Field gold medalist in the 1984 Olympic Games…Crawford was the team leader in rushing in 1985, including a 100-yard effort in his final collegiate game occurring in the 1985 Holiday Bowl against Arkansas…Shivers was ASU's leading tackler all three years he played in Tempe, totaling 314 stops as a Sun Devil…A Freshman All-American according to Sporting News in 2001, the Phoenix South Mountain High School product earned Honorable Mention All-Pac-10 recognition in 2002 and Second-Team All-Pac-10 honors the following year…Shivers left ASU a year early to enter the NFL Draft and was selected in the fifth round by the St. Louis Rams…He ultimately played one year in the NFL and five seasons in the Canadian Football League.

Featured Golf News
New Portuguese Resort Promises Four New Courses
While new golf course development in the United States is at a virtual standstill these days, other parts of the world are moving ahead with large-scale projects. Asia has gotten most of the attention, but now Europe and particularly eastern Portugal will see an entire new resort town, Parc Alqueva, including four new golf courses, built along the recently created Alqueva Reservoir.
Alqueva Reservoir is a 155-square-mile man-made lake that was created by the Portuguese government by damming the Guardiana River in the Alentejo region. It is now Europe's largest man-made lake. The Alentejo had been the driest and hottest region in the country and was subject to persistent droughts, had little infrastructure and was economically segregated from the rest of Portugal and Europe. The idea was to create a hydroelectric generation dam, provide massive irrigation to the area, and to offer recreational opportunities.
During the 1950s, the Portuguese Prime Minister, António de Oliveira Salazar, ordered a study of the feasibility of the dam project, and the potential benefits of the Alqueva dam have been discussed for decades. An initial effort was undertaken after the Carnation Revolution of 1974, but it was abandoned in 1978. The Portuguese government eventually made a firm decision to build the dam in the 1990s during the Cavaco Silva and António Guterres regimes.
The project became reality in 2002 when the floodgates were closed at the Alqueva Dam. It took over two years to flood the lake to full capacity. In 2004, the hydroelectric power station started to generate electricity, with a capacity of 240 megawatts. As of 2025, the lake should supply irrigation water for 1,100 square kilometers in the Alentejo.
Under the heading of "I can't help it if I'm lucky," Andre Roquette, a native Portuguese, and his family had large land holdings in the area and used a portion of their property to operate a winery under the name of Esperao. The rest was arid ranch land. With the creation of the reservoir, they now have waterfront property and access to irrigation water in mass quantities.
Being young and ambitious, Roquette rounded up a small group of partners and created Sociedade Alentejana De Investimentos E Participacoes (SAIP) to develop 5,000 acres into an entire resort village with a master plan calling for housing, hotels, village centers, marinas, spas, sports camps, equestrian center, organic farming, vineyards and a diversity of recreational facilities.
The entire project will involve an investment of 1 billion euros ($1.35 billion USD). Under strict environmental planning, the Portuguese government, wishing to avoid development problems similar to elsewhere in the Algarve, has allowed only 10 percent of the waterfront area to be developed, thus leaving nearly 900 kilometers of shoreline in its natural state.
The land area of Parc Alqueva is divided into three parcels known as Roncao, Postoro and Areias. Roncao has the most lake frontage, Postoro a lesser amount and Areias none at all. The lands include an ostrich farm and areas where pigs are let to run and eat the nuts from the oak trees - resulting in the most flavorful hams in the country, and also the Castle of Monasaz, a former king's palace from the Middle Ages. The castle will be incorporated into one of the hotel complexes.
The initial parcel to be developed is Roncao. It will have the marina, a hotel and the first golf course.
Massachusetts-based golf course architect Roger Rulewich has done the routing for all four courses and designed the first layout with a working name of Roncao D'el Rey. Rulewich, Robert Trent Jones, Sr.'s design associate for 34 years before opening his own firm in the early 1990s, had done a lot of work previously on the Iberian Peninsula at Sotogrande and Valderama in Spain when working under Jones.
Rulewich describes the site for Roncao D'el Rey as being a mostly open, rugged, rocky and dusty environment making earthmoving difficult. Dave Fleury, Rulewich's construction partner, is on-site running the job along with Roquette's supervisor Simao da Cunha.
The course routing was purposefully kept from the water's edge because hydro-generation reservoirs notoriously vary in surface elevation, but views of the water will be almost constant from most every hole on the course. Although vegetation is sparse on the site, there are scattered oaks and olive trees that will be strategically utilized to define fairways, backdrops and entries into greens.
The first nine holes of the Roncao D'el Rey course should be grassed this year, with a grand opening in 2012 to coincide with the debut of some of the resort facilities. The grasses slated for installation are 419 Bermuda on the fairways and bent on the greens, which will take some care considering the hot summer temperatures in the Alentejo.
The next course at Parc Alqueva will be at the Areias parcel (one of two for that area), a site that Rulewich is particularly excited about. "It is a totally different site that has a gentle topography, nice rock outcroppings and native material that is much easier to contour. The beauty of the plan is that environmental authorities considered the Areias to be so special that they would not allow any housing on this parcel and we get to build two golf courses there."
Build out for the project has no definite finish date at this point; it will be determined by the success of the development as it progresses.

In early 2012, Peter Breiner travelled 9,100 miles from his Manhattan home to Wellington to conduct recordings sessions of two albums for the Naxos label which this year celebrates its 25th anniversary.
For four days, 105 members of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra played Breiner's original arrangements of works by Mussorgsky and orchestral suites from two Tchaikovsky operas.
The exclusive documentary bask, directed by Sasha Santiago, captured this event. It is a continuation of the highly successful and critically acclaimed series of operatic suites by Janacek, that Breiner began recording with NZSO in 2007.
The NZSO, one of the most respected performing and recording orchestra in the world today and the first orchestra in the world to launch a website, is premiering this extraordinary documentary online to the world.
Here it is > Peter Breiner & the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra from Sasha Santiago on Vimeo.
The programme includes Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, his two song cycles – Songs and Dances of Death and The Nursery, and two Tchaikovsky operatic suites – The Queen of Spades and The Voeyvoda – all of them newly arranged and orchestrated by Breiner, performed by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.
The digital only release of two Naxos CDs took place in New York on 10 October 2012.

Kapp paints an i llusion of experience\; his paintings are representational and graphic with the primary focus being a description of movement though space. In today's world\, so much of life is organized by our car culture. City streets are still populated by pedestrians and cyclists\, but it is the car that determ ines the structure and design of many of today's cities. Kapp paints pedest rians\, trains and the automotive ribbons of energy\; it is this pictorial movement through space that expresses the pulse of life in the City.\n< p style="text-align: justify\;">The paintings can be seen as portraits of o ur time particularly because of our fascination with the car culture. Kapp records a moment in the rush of the city and creates the feeling of speed w ith the velocity of his brushstrokes. It's as if he draws us into a chaotic world and makes order of it by suspending the ceaseless activity of commer ce and urban life. Cars and buildings become abstract marks of color on a d istant plane making us wonder what processional we are witnessing. Whether it is the exodus of the commuters at the end of the day or the randomness o f a pedestrian crossing\, Kapp captures the energy of life in New York and Los Angeles with a simplicity that allows us to participate in the dynamics of urban complexity.
