Elysium or the Elysian Fields (Ancient Greek: Ἠλύσιον πεδίον, Ēlýsion pedíon) is a conception of the afterlife that developed over time and was maintained by some Greek religious and philosophical sects and cults. Initially separate from the realm of Hades, admission was reserved for mortals related to the gods and other heroes. Later, it expanded to include those chosen by the gods, the righteous, and the heroic, where they would remain after death, to live a blessed and happy life, and indulging in whatever employment they had enjoyed in life.
The Elysian Fields were, according to Homer, located on the western edge of the Earth by the stream of Okeanos. In the time of the Greek oral poet Hesiod, Elysium would also be known as the Fortunate Isles or the Isles (or Islands) of the Blessed, located in the western ocean at the end of the earth. The Isles of the Blessed would be reduced to a single island by the Thebean poet Pindar, describing it as having shady parks, with residents indulging their athletic and musical pastimes.
Bear's Den (also called by the name of its most outstanding landmark, Bear's Den Falls) is a 6-acre (24,000 m2) nature reserve in New Salem, Massachusetts. The reservation is close to the Quabbin Reservoir and is owned by the Trustees of Reservations.
The property takes its name from a large black bear once shot here "though more romantic -- yet unsubstantiated -- stories exist" according to the Trustees of Reservations.
The Middle Branch of the Swift River passes through the steep granite cliffs of Bear's Den reservation on its way to the Quabbin Reservoir. The gorge is 75' deep and rimmed with hemlock. At one point, a change in elevation creates a waterfall. According to one description:
So as you walk the 150 yard path from the road and bear left through the jagged opening in the ridge, you have a limited sense of the waterfall being there until you step through and into this amphitheater of Mother Nature. Once inside, you sense an isolation from the rest of the world. It's a great experience and unique for a location so close to the road.

Elysium. It's not as good as District 9, but not as bad as the original reviews would have you believe either. Regardless of quality, it still has some sins. So obviously, we wanted to share our findings. Tomorrow: Animated sins. First time ever. Maybe not the last. Remember, no movie is without sin! Which movie's sins should we recount next?

Elysium is a crap overall but Kruger made my day :)
full speed ahead
towards synchronized sunrise
focused in weak eye
deconstruct our memoirs
neurotic human form
negative system report
feel sorry for losers
neither shrink nor struggle
insipid & helpless
no emergency exit
exhausted coexistence
steal the last breath
scratch those shadow mirrors
there's no turning back
as we're ready for new dawn
upcomin breakin' news
sadistic web tentacles
28 already old
stuck in great spirall fall
chaotic killin' spree
none of us will take it's toll
under the surface - the beast well hides
self respect is all we've gained
new world is ours to come
just believe in a splendid failure
digital future anthem
