Asia Times: Turkmenistan's dream destined to be blown away Second, because the new lake - and much of the catchment trenches - will be in a desert basin, the amount of water lost to evaporation will be enormous. The crown jewel of the Soviet scheme was the 700-mile Karakum canal, which draws water from the Amu Darya and routes it to agricultural oases dotting Turkmenistan's Karakum Desert. Draining water from a depleted river into a basin in the heart of a desert in order to water a thirsty, non-native crop will certainly not improve matters. www.atimes.com /c-asia/BJ26Ag01.html   (706 words)

Roach, Steve - The lost pieces - Groove Unlimited The Tangerine Dream -ish After the Dream was written in the wake of Roach's seminal Dreamtime Return ; the drum-box-driven Mojave: At the Tree suggests Roach's collaborations with Kevin Braheny, composed between the Western Spaces and Desert Solitaire albums; and Red Shore is the kind of gorgeous, haunting soundscape heard later on Well of Souls. The Lost Pieces presents an intoxicating flow ranging from his classic floating atmospheric period ( Structures From Silence, Dreamtime Returns) to the dark tribal ambient direction (of Origins and Suspended Memories - Forgotten Gods). A collection of unreleased or non-album tracks Roach composed between 1988 and 1992 (a particularly fruitful period), Lost Pieces covers a lot of terrain. www.groove.nl /cd/3/32080.html   (706 words)

Metroactive Movies 'The King Is Alive' Within days, the group is transformed to Survivor Part III, strugglers in "a godforsaken place with all these lost souls." No group of lost souls is complete without a bloodless intellectual, like Harry (David Bradley), who decides to while away the time with an amateur theatrical--a desert production of King Lear. Whether this Dogme has had its day or not, Kristian Levring's The King Is Alive brings the austere scheme one improvement, gleaned from the primitive filmmakers circa 1910: if you're going to shoot in available light, head to the desert where there's plenty of light available. The King Is Alive is the best looking of all the Dogme 95 films. www.metroactive.com /papers/metro/06.07.01/kingisalive-0123.html   (706 words)

QUARANTINE - Jim Crace - Penguin UK Two thousand years ago four travellers enter the Judean desert to fast and pray for their lost souls. Crace, a master at integrating his setting into the very fabric of his story, describes the desert in minute detail... Crace is obsessively careful in his attention to details: no word, no sentence, no passage is misplaced as he carefully reconstructs his imagined ancient Judea, as he describes the sufferings of its pilgrims, as he moulds the evil of Musa's soul into its full, horrifying form. www.penguinbooks.co.uk /nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,0_014023974X,00.html   (836 words)

Three Dog Night by Peter Goldsworthy, Published by Viking - The Northern Rivers Echo Newspaper, Lismore Doctor-turned-acclaimed writer Peter Goldsworthy has woven a gut-wrenching tale about the fragility of love and friendship, and how Australia's central desert is a heart of darkness that beckons lost souls, however erudite those who possessed them while on earth. The book's ultimately tortured narrator, psychiatrist Martin Blackman, is a long-time expatriate who has returned proudly to Adelaide with his English wife, Lucy, a fellow head-shrinker, with whom he is obsessively, compulsively - his words - in love.

WarCry™ Network Serving as the chosen avatar of Ares, the God of War, your journey follows Kratos from the Aegean Seas to the Desert of Lost Souls, and finally through the roads of the Athens, the city blessed by the goddess Athena. So, God of War definitely brings quite a bit to the table for any blood thirsty gamer, but as some would say “there is no such thing as perfect.” Overall, God of War comes remarkably close, but there are still a few aspects I would have really loved to see incorporated into the game. God of War serves as a perfect example of how a development team’s passion and dedication to their game correlates directly into superb gameplay. www.warcry.com /scripts/columns/view_sectionalt.phtml?site=15&id=67&colid=6849   (1012 words)

Antinomian Antics: Sabotaging the Matrix Like many other Gnostic Christian groups, the Cainites believed the Earth we inhabit was a sort of cosmic prison or zoo, a labyrinth for the souls of the fallen and the lost ruled over by an incompetent and insane Demiurge. Some Gnostics advocated a total rejection of the world and society, living in the desert as ascetic monks; others married, worked and played alongside their neighbours without ever discussing their spiritual pursuits. Epiphanes’ subversive reading of Mosaic Law was shared by the Cainites, a mysterious second-century Christian group who took their name from Abel’s homicidal brother. www.v72.org /esoteric_antinomian.htm   (1084 words)

Elminster's Ecologies Appendix 1: Battle of Bones and the Hill of Lost Souls - Forgotten Realms (AD&D 2nd Edition Campaigns) - Campaigns (AD&D 2nd Edition) - Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition - Dungeons & Dragons RPG Ask the average dull peasant when and where the Battle of Bones took place and likely he will scratch his head and stammer that it was in the year 1090 Dale Reckoning, at a battlefield bordering on the southwest edge of Anauroch, the Great Desert. These individuals were hand-picked by Elminster himself to share everything they know about these two places, revealing tidbits of information about the land itself and its inhabitants today - information that just might save the life of an adventurer or two. Elminster himself has even thrown in a few personal notes. www.trollandtoad.com /p116437.html   (421 words)

Movie (Metro Times Detroit) Based on a 1980 novel by Marc Behm, Eye of the Beholder uses elements of film noir (stylistic as well as thematic) to explore the bizarrely symbiotic relationship between two lost souls struggling to connect. By making the action of Eye of the Beholder unravel under Eye’s unwavering gaze, writer-director Stephan Elliott (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert) has both fetishized and eroticized surveillance as the ultimate intimate encounter. Eye of the Beholder is a whirlwind of hypnotic imagery, yet it never quite finds the necessary emotional undercurrent. www.metrotimes.com /editorial/review.asp?id=51616   (421 words)

Journal of Religion and Film: Angels Carrying Savage Weapons: Uses of the Bible in Contemporary Horror Films y by Mary Ann Beavis The former film is creative and original in its use of the Bible, which is interpreted through the lens of Jewish folklore regarding the pre-existence of souls. At the end of the film, Sharon flees to the desert with her daughter to await the Rapture, and when it fails to materialize, she murders the child in despair. Although the emphasis is on the Bible’s horrific aspects, the assumption is that God, goodness and truth will ultimately prevail (if only the cinematic antichrists would read to the end of Revelation, they would realize that their causes are lost). www.unomaha.edu /jrf/Vol7No2/angels.htm   (421 words)

The King is Alive As the days pass these lost souls become more weary, and The King is Alive becomes not only a movie about survival, but of exorcising old demons and fulfilling sexual desires, with the raw sexuality that Center of the World strived for, but did not quite achieve. Story Line: When an airplane takes too long to be repaired, a group of tourists in the North African desert, decide to return to their departure city via bus. Dogma "style" dictates the use of hand held cameras, natural light only and filming on location. www.reelmoviecritic.com /2000/id1075.htm   (421 words)

The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: The Best Thing Since Gefilte Fish? One of Auslander’s freshest vignettes is his “Startling Revelations from the Lost Book of Stan,” the saga of an American Jewish traveler who discovers the “Extremely Old Testament” in a dark cave in the Negev Desert. Heimish likens Shlomo’s sexual self-gratification to the horrors of the Holocaust: Shlomo “mopped the murdered Jewish souls off his hands with a couple of tissues, flushed them down the toilet and hid the Jergens behind the medicine rack,” Auslander writes. Auslander may indeed be, as one of his peers has declared, “the freshest voice in Jewish literature since Philip Roth arrived on the scene.” But like gefilte fish, and Manischewitz wine, Auslander’s wit might be a delicacy that never finds a following outside the ethnic niche market. www.thecrimson.com /article.aspx?ref=506565   (745 words)
