"More and more people around the world are beginning to wonder, 'Does the globe have a sustainable strategy?" Simmons said. 'It's all about sustainability. Sustainability means protecting or improving our living standards. And without abundant water and energy, we are not sustainable,' he said. 'There's no question that our oceans are energy's last frontier.' Referring to Maine's year-round island communities, Simmons noted that by definition 'islands rarely have adequate local resources to be sustainable. Iceland is the only one with sustainable energy because it has abundant geothermal resources. No others have been able to do it.' Simmons said that the critical resources in the world's future economy will be energy and potable water. Population growth will exacerbate the demand for both resources. 'Energy is the most serious scarce resource among many right now,' Simmons explained. 'In my opinion peak oil is past tense. What I'm also worried about is that peak global gas is also past tense. Black coal is heavily depleted and so we have probably now seen the peaking of fossil fuels entirely.' 'In the United States I suspect we will be at 350 million people by 2030. That number will be much larger in other regions of the world, ' he continued. Simmons noted that presently in China there are 18 cars per 1,000 people, while in the United States the figure is more than 900 per 1,000 people. Demand for automobiles will continue to rise in China as well as in Brazil, India and other developing countries, leading to further depletion of fossil fuel resources. 'The bigger concern is the scarcity of other resources, starting with water,' Simmons said. 'If oil is precious, water is priceless.'"

...REVIEWS November 16 The Pets by former Sugarcubes bassist Bragi à "lafsson is one of the stranger books I have read in recent years. But judging by the book’s nomination for the Icelandic Literature Award and favorable reviews in Iceland and abroad, this strangeness seems appreciated. With a straightforward and humorous style, the author manages to catch the readers’ attention from the first pages. November 16 This year marks the 30th anniversary for the present farm at Vallanes, under the stewardship of farmer Eymundur Magnússon. The farm is also known as Módir Jörd or Mother Earth. What began as a conventional dairy farm, has transformed into an organic vegetable and grain a forest of over one million planted trees with products ranging from energy, medicine and food. November 16 Photographs taken by the late Sigurdur Guttormsson, featuring the Icelandic working class from 1930 to 1945, are currently on display in Unnar Ã-rn’s exhibition in Gallery Ágúst in . The photographs are a rare insight into the living conditions and architectural history of Iceland in the years around 1940. © Copyright icelandreview.com (Heimur hf) • Borgartúni 23 • 105 Reykjavik • Iceland • Tel.(354) 512 7575 • Fax.(354) 561 8646 •"

...wine was aged for four months on French and American oak resulting in a wine with all the complexities and elegance of a fine wooded Chardonnay. "On the nose this Chardonnay displays citrus fruit and melon with a hint of vanilla oak in the background. The palate is dry but rounded and packed with apricot and citrus flavours that are supported by lovely nut and vanilla oak" is how winemaker Pieter Badenhorst describes the 2008 vintage that will mature well over the next two to four years...
