Ok, trundling round the bootsale on Sunday morning, snapped up 7 Star Wars Sets for £20. Including Jabbas Barge, the bloke had it upside down, felt a bit sorry for him. Anyway, was wondering what sort of value it has- there are no figures, but it has 100% pieces otherwise.
I will post a pic soon, along with the others. They are aoll in good condition, no boxes, but with manuals.
I was going to ebay them, Im not usually a Star Wars man but I feel I have maybe kickstarted my collection.
Anyway, if anyone could help me as to a rough value for Jabba, I may be tempted to part with it on ebay..

You got a great deal. I'd say you could get £60- 90 for the minifig-less Sail Barge set. You have the skiff and sarlacc that go with the set too?

Hi Drock, unfortunately not, seems like it is just the Barge. Didnt notice the other two until I saw the instruction manual and realised they were missing!!

Really clever whales don't spout English
Can whales talk? We know they can sing — but can they talk? If so, they are one step ahead of the Gallagher brothers, perhaps even two.
Biologists working for the U.S. Navy's marine mammal programme in San Diego, California, have just issued a report into this interesting question, compiled after studying beluga whales for 30 years.
One beluga whale in particular excited their attention. His name was NoC. At least, they say that was his name. In fact, it was the silly name they foisted on him, which must have given rise to a lot of NoC-NoC jokes within the more waspish sections of the whale community.
Beluga whale Noc started making speech-like sounds to his handlers
His real name could well have been Roger or Geoff, but sadly he was never so articulate as to be able to correct them.
Anyway, one day a diver who was under water repairing NoC's ocean pen heard someone say 'Out! Out!' So he made his way to the surface and asked the waiting researchers why they had asked him to get out.
'We were incredibly puzzled,' recalls one of them, Michelle Jeffries. 'But then, it dawned on us that the call must have come from NoC. We looked around at each other and thought: he's trying to imitate human speech. It was incredible.'
One of the more unusual human mimics in the animal world is Kosik, an Asian elephant in South Korea
For the next five years, the team at San Diego recorded all NoC's utterances. They have now concluded that NoC wanted to communicate with human beings, and was willing and able to learn new sounds in order to do so.
At the same time, a 22-year-old elephant called Kosik, a resident of the Everland amusement park in South Korea, has learnt to speak by putting his trunk in his mouth and shaking it around whilst exhaling.
Kosik can now speak seven words in Korean, which is seven more than I can.
These words are 'yes', 'no', 'sit', 'hi', 'good', 'lie' and 'down'. This beats the late and unlamented Jimmy Savile, who could only say, 'Now then, now then', which may look like four words, but is actually only two.
Biologists studying another disc-jockey, Chris Moyles, over a prolonged period of time discovered that, though Moyles was capable of making a limited number of grunting noises, he was unable to say anything intelligible to the human brain.
Intriguingly, what Professor Lindy Weilgart from Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia said about NoC also applies to Chris Moyles: 'We can't know what he was trying to say, but whether he was doing it because he was bored and just wanted to stimulate himself, or because he was trying to reach out to humans, it's a sure sign of intelligence.'

There are also distinct physical similarities between Moyles and the beluga whale, though scientists have so far been unable to determine whether they are related.
It would now appear that, between the two of them, Kosik the elephant and NoC the beluga whale could co-present a Radio 1 programme with considerable verve.
Who knows? With a few more words of English under their belts, they might then graduate to something more sophisticated, like BBC Question Time, ready to answer the audience's questions on topics ranging from Scottish independence to the future of the NHS.
The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, never easy, once said, 'If a lion could speak, we could not understand him.' Oddly enough, ever since he spoke those words, other philosophers have been trying to work out what he meant by them.
Personally, I think he meant that the experience of being a lion is so removed from the experience of being a human being that, even if we shared the same language, we couldn't understand what he was getting at.
Is this true of all animals? If so, perhaps Question Time should put its invitations to Kosik and NoC on hold.
Or they could at least create a level playing field by asking Kosik and NoC on with guests who are known to spout a similar amount of gobbledegook. Lord Prescott, Will Hutton and Dame Vivienne Westwood spring to mind.
Might I sound a final note of caution to any member of the animal kingdom who happens to be reading this column and may be toying with the idea of talking out loud?
One of the reasons human beings like animals is because animals are so discreet. We know that, if we tell our dog or our cat a secret, they will be sure not to repeat it.
That is why, for all their flamboyance, parrots have never really caught on as family pets: no one likes a chatterbox. In my opinion, Kosik and NoC were foolish to stick their necks out and start speaking. Much wiser are their fellow whales and elephants, who are probably perfectly capable of speaking English, but prefer not to.

McGahee close to returning after passing physical
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Bills rookie Willis McGahee passed a physical on his injured left knee Tuesday, one of the final steps that would allow the running back to begin practicing as early as next week.
John Uribe conducted the physical in Miami. Uribe is the University of Miami team physician who surgically repaired the three torn ligaments McGahee sustained during the Hurricanes' loss to Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl last January.
"He's ready to play," Uribe said. "He's worked pretty hard to get back to where he is and the fact that his biology cooperated is pretty amazing. He looks very good."
McGahee's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, was excited by the findings, and said the results all but clear the way for his client to begin practicing.
"It was a successful visit and he's on his path to an amazing recovery," Rosenhaus said. "There doesn't appear to be any reason not to go ahead."
Rosenhaus said the Bills approved McGahee's exam in Miami, and that Uribe was passing along the results to the team's training staff.
The final step for McGahee's return is getting clearance from Bills team doctor John Marzo.
Bills president Tom Donahoe declined to comment on the test results.
"We will offer a comment when Willis has been cleared by our doctors for practice," Donahoe said.
The findings back up the results of the Bills' most recent tests, which showed McGahee's injured knee to be between 90 and 92 percent rehabilitated.
Uribe said the most important measure was comparing the strength in McGahee's injured leg to his healthy one.
"I would like to see more mass in his (injured) leg, but it was pretty close to normal," Uribe said. "His strength certainly measured proportional to his other knee. He's not going to be in any danger because of that, so it's OK for him to play."
McGahee, selected 23rd overall, opened the season on the reserve nonfootball injury list. The earliest he could take the field is next week, after the Bills (3-2) travel to play the Jets on Sunday.
NFL rules bar a player on the injured list from practicing until between Week 6 and 9. Once McGahee begins practicing, the Bills would have three weeks to determine whether to place him on the active roster.
Because of his long rehabilitation, McGahee is expected to require at least two weeks of practice before the Bills would consider using him in a game.
McGahee has spent the last two months working out on his own while being limited to watching practice from the sideline. The most he has been allowed to do is catch passes in a stationary position.
Last August, he signed a five-year contract that could potentially be worth $15.53 million. The deal is laden with incentives that more than double a base contract worth just over $7 million, including bonuses.
McGahee's presence could spark a running back competition in Buffalo. Returning starter Travis Henry was initially unhappy -- calling it "a slap in the face" -- the day McGahee was drafted.
Henry, who finished fifth in the NFL last season with 1,438 yards rushing, has since said he is open to competing with McGahee, who set school records with 1,753 yards rushing and 28 touchdowns last season.
Rosenhaus said his client is eager to show what he can do.
"He looks like he's closing in on getting back on the football field, which is going to be a remarkable accomplishment," Rosenhaus said. "We'll pop the champagne when he breaks that first touchdown." ^------

Research Institution:
AbstractThe unique stresses in the spacecraft environment including isolation, containment, weightlessness, increased radiation exposure, and enhanced microbial contamination have resulted in a compromise of the immune system in every human or animal that has ever flown in space. Identifying and monitoring the microbial population in the spacecraft environment has therefore been identified as a key maintaining crew health on extended missions. While molecular methods are rapidly supplanting phenotypic identification of micro-organisms, the most successful rapid approaches have employed organism-specific nucleic acid "probes" or primers for PCR amplification. Identification by nucleic acid hybridization therefore implies a priori knowledge (or at least suspicion) of a putative organism. Such assays (including DNA microarrays) are therefore limited in generality by the number of probes or primers on hand. Sequencing of DNA is more general but time consuming and problematic in microgravity. This project describes an "open" or exploratory system with no such limitation which is also superior in speed to DNA sequencing. By leveraging the wealth of publicly available ribosomal RNA sequences for thousands of bacterial strains, and rapid mass spectrometry of novel, mass-modified RNA fragments, the system can identify bacterial species in complex organism mixtures and report their relative abundances. The technology is amenable to high-throughput automated analysis of over 200 samples in less than 2 hours and is compatible with any sample type from which total DNA can be isolated.

Whoa: RELEVANT's Site Traffic Quadrupled This Summer
We don't usually do anything in the way of tooting our own horns, since there are so many other horns to toot. But we saw recently that the number of people coming to our website has quadrupled since our redesign in late June (yes, as in 400 percent growth). What makes that especially surprising is that late summer is usually the lowest time of year for traffic on sites like ours, because people are, you know, out doing things. So, we want to say a massive thank you to everyone who comes, reads, shares and contributes to this site.
And probably the most exciting part is that we're nowhere near done. Our developers and designers are hard at work on massive new sections launching soon, like RELEVANT U, Next, Reject Apathy, The Drop and RTV—not to mention our mobile site, a lot more interface improvements and some really cool surprises. So, keep coming back (and tell your friends!). The best is definitely yet to come ...

I created a live Ubuntu USB that has persistent storage using Universal USB Installer. Every time I boot the USB, I keep getting an alert message telling me that the drive is low on space. Is it not possible to clear or remove files in persistent storage?
Yes it is possible.
If you're booting from the USB, you don't want to repartition the whole thing, you just want to recreate the loopback casper-rw partition.
I've just done it with a Karmic Koala USB stick from 2009. Current ones may work a bit differently (I've been on a bit of a holiday from Ubuntu the last year or so).
Enable expert mode and remove "persistent" from the kernel boot command line. Then it won't even try to use the casper-rw file for persistence (it will use a ramdisk overlay instead).
Say your usb stick is mounted at /cdrom (for some reason that's what I got).
You will need to do
and prompt it to proceed even though the file is not a block device.
If it complains that your USB stick is mounted read-only, use
first, to make it read-write.
You can also do the mkfs command line on any other working linux system where you can mount your USB stick.
You should use dd command to delete the partition table of USB and later use gparted to repartition the USB.
dd bs=1024 count=1 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb where /dev/sdb is your usb drive, be carefull with this command!
And start gparted to repartition.

Alfred Stieglitz Autochromes
Photographer/publisher/gallery owner Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) played an instrumental role in promoting photography as a fine art through his journal Camera Work and his gallery "Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession," later renamed 291.
The Collection
In 1907, Stieglitz traveled to Europe where he was introduced to the newly marketed Autochrome Lumière color photography process. Originally patented in France in 1903, the autochrome process received a U.S. patent in 1906.
Likely in 1910 at Oaklawn, the family home in Lake George, Stieglitz experimented with the Autochrome process. Included here, among others, are portraits of Stieglitz and his family, the painter Dorothy Obermayer Schubart, Stieglitz's business associate Joe Obermeyer, Stieglitz's niece Flora Stieglitz Straus and copy prints of paintings by Katharine N. Rhoades and Marion H. Beckett. Originally attributed to Stieglitz, some may be the work of Edward Steichen or Frank Eugene. These digitized glass plate photographs are part of the Alfred Stieglitz/Georgia O'Keeffe archive. Currently, only portions of these papers are available online.

I don't believe the Bonds to St Louis story. You have to link to a story, cause this town would riot if Bonds came to town. Not me personally. He's a dick, but he can hit and I really don't care what a player is "like" (I'm never going to hang out with this dude). But this town A) has to like the person beind the player and B) is as racist as any town in the good ol' USA. Ain't no way Bonds is playing for St Louis.
Horacio is also inconsistent. Soriano was talented, but he is done, his arm will never be the same. Is too bad, he had great stuff. Pitching is cruel on the arm, and most young pitchers give out along the way, that is why theyre so pricey. Horacio is basically another Pineiro, but the Braves are not going to give anything good for Soriano in the hopes that he heals and becomes the promising superstar he was suppose to become. Man, Schmidt was the one to go after. Bring us Zito!! The Manny talks are just noise, were not going to pay Manny money.
Glad youre back Bradley, Frankly I was getting bored with the petit burgoise condescending posts on sports.
Sorry to bore you Seme, but I'd love hanging out with you guys at a ball game! The binary dialectical supposition of the dealings for players/pawns regarding their biological and racial inevitableness is so enlightening. I'm headed up to Shoreline for some ice skating later, but I'll be back for more of this fantasy play afterwards.
What was the name of that gorilla that used to live at the Tacoma Mall? And how in the hell did he get a job in the Mariner's front office?
Not like this trade was particularly bad, but Jesus, I'd like to see the M's make a move that somehow made them a better team. That's kind of the idea.
I guess we can add pretentious to SeMe's list.
$55 million for Gil Meche?! What a ridiculous contract. And from KANSAS CITY no less.
This is precisely the reason why it's impossible to listen to a baseball game on the radio anymore. Broadcasts have become nothing more that a series of paid ads occasionally interrupted by play-by-play.
Bonds isn't going to St Louis. Honestly, where can they put him? You'd have to bench Juan Encarnacion or Chris Duncan.
As for the trade, what a terrible trade. With teams overpaying for relief pitchers, this was a perfect opportunity to get a good return for someone like Soriano, and instead we get a piece of trash like Horatio Ramirez.
And also, I hear the Mariners have re-opened discussions with... Joel Pineiro. Yeah. Given he was only the worst starting pitcher in MLB, I can't imagine there will be a lot of competition for his services. He is the Mariners pitching equivalent of herpes: he's about as enjoyable to watch, and he will never really go away.
Imagine this rotation on opening day: Felix Hernandez, Jarrod Washburn, Horatio Ramirez, Jake Woods and Joel Pineiro. The New York Yankees couldn't score enough runs to outpace all the runs that rotation would allow. That's a team that loses 90 games on paper. Bavasi just signed his own pink slip with this trade.
DOUG Wrote:
"$55 million for Gil Meche?! What a ridiculous contract. And from KANSAS CITY no less."
Let's not forget that baseball contracts are guaranteed..$55 Mil for an exceptionally average pitcher?
I wish I was hungover just so it would make it easier for me to puke.
That's the last straw. Screw pro ball. I'll never watch another game again.
Jensen's got the right idea. I've read how the economics of the game have lead to enormous contracts for mediocre players, but the only way baseball will come back to earth is if we start staying away - from the ballpark and the TV.
Probably won't happen for a while, but honest to god, how much higher do ticket prices need to be before people just stop going to the games?
I'm with Jensen and Doug -- I'm tired of all this crap too. Baseball is the sporting peep's Wall Street now. Just give me the game and save all the board room stuff for yourselves. I don't give one fucking christ about it.
Also, there needs to be a rule about the same six commericals on the KOMO not running a fucking million times. Over multiple seasons, no less.
I guess I'm saying that I want a riot.
And, it used to be that you hated a new signing after the season started. Rich Aurilia pushed that to the extreme when he made an error on his frist try at shortstop on opening day. But now, Seattle hates Horacio even before he even leaves Atlanta. M's need someone up there who's an actual fan and not just a dumb bullshit business douche.
Well, Matt from Denver, I think they aspire to the NBA model, where salaries get so out of whack, they have to build huge, free, profit-making stadiums financed by the citizens. That goes on for several years until the citizens wizen up and say "screw you" (ala Sonics).
A couple days ago, it sounded like they'd spend the money to get Zito. Now it looks to be another year of nothing.
Him @ 11 - But baseball was where the profit-making stadium trend began, 15 or so years ago. The Mariners have their stadium, so do most baseball teams. (Dodger Stadium, from the early 60's, is the fourth oldest ballpark in MLB, after Yankee Stadium, Wrigley Field and Fenway Park, and I wouldn't be surprised if Shea Stadium was number 5.) I think the super-mega contract trend began after most of those stadiums were up and running.
It just sounds like baseball owners are lousy businessmen. I'd like to see the bottom lines of some of these teams. Maybe there's a method to the madness, and maybe that method is that fans are suckers.

Research Institution:
AbstractThis SBIR Phase I project will develop a program to utilize uranium tetrafluoride (DUF4), a processed byproduct from the creation of nuclear energy, to create SF4, SF6, and NF3. SF4 and SF6 would be created by mixing DUF4 with sulfur oxides and halides (and oxygen for SF6) at varying temperatures, pressures, and stoichiometries. In addition, the generated SF4 would be mixed at varying temperatures, pressures, and stoichiometries with NOF to try to create NF3. A two-step process to create NF3 with SF4, NH3, and fluorine will also be performed. The broader/commercial impact of the project will be the expansion of a market for nuclear waste by-products that is currently insufficient to utilize the existing supply of nuclear waste. By expanding the market, the potential to expand the nuclear power industry might be more palatable.

Health & Safety:
Generally I feel safe on campus, but I'm usually not here too late.
Overall Experience:
in my field (arctic ecology/biology) this is a great school, and I'm confident about my future job prospects
I don't participate in athletics here, but I attend the hockey games and the university team is awesome!
Overall Experience:
A fantastic university in a beautiful natural setting very close to the Arctic Circle
Campus Housing:
I don't live on campus.
Greek Life:
Not a priority of mine as a student.
Not a big part of my life as a student.
Overall Experience:
UAF is dominated by atypical students, older and non-traditional.
Overall Experience:
The swimming pool is too small for the locker room and the gym is too big for the locker room. The food here is great. The cafeteria is massive, they have a all you can eat dinner for 10$ with a wide variety selection of food. Overall people are respectable in your typical school settings. Stay on track and you'll do great. I would choose this school again because the in state low tuition. There are only to universities in the state to choose from. This campus sits on a hill away from traffic and is huge and there is a lot of history involved and there is a lot of activities for student to take part of.
Health & Safety:
I believe the campus is safe, but I would normally walk with someone at night.
Don't think there are many options just because it's so cold in the winters.
Overall Experience:
So far the people here are very helpful and sweet. It's a bit cold in the winter, but I think that makes for excellent study conditions.
Overall Experience:
Courses vary wildly in quality across departments and especially between professors. It may take 6+ years to earn a degree by taking the right instructors at the right times. Both semesters are very difficult emotionally because of the dark and cold, and many students do not make it out alive.
Well, there's hockey, but most of the players are rapists.
Overall Experience:
If you are thinking of coming here, DON'T. I wish I could have the last 5 years of my life back. A dreadful place, awful administration, the worst professors, and a prevalent atmosphere of despair.
Health & Safety:
It really is a tight knit cmunity, that cares
Overall Experience:
There was a huge lack of communication and guidance. But we got it all figured out kind of.
Campus Housing:
If you need it it will work!
Everything costs so much even for students , gym racquetball wall climbing and the water is contaminated yet they continue to serve the fountains sending emails out saying drink at your own risk!
Overall Experience:
Good opportunity great scaled models and there is so much opportunity 1 on 1 with proffers, online it's just incredible !
Greek Life:
None, that i know of.
Needs to be upgraded. Unfortunately, that is not something that will happen anytime soon due to budget cuts.
Overall Experience:
Fantastic school.... Only problem -- Which all schools have a select few of-- are the hard headed professors who don't take mistakes very well to the point that they try to deny everything, even when proven wrong.
Health & Safety:
I'm not entirely sure about health & safety. I believe there was a title made to address the allowance of carrying a gun onto campus which was unsettling to me. I know there are some close minded people and worry if they would harm another group of people for just being different.
Overall Experience:
My experiences with courses and professors are relatively positive. There is a diverse array of classes available for many majors as well as many helpful instructors. My only concern is the math department which could improve a bit.

This Friday sees the release of the long-awaited "Cloud Atlas," a three-way collaboration with some of the most talented filmmakers working today: Tom Tykwer, the German director behind the art-house smash "Run Lola Run" and the criminally underrated period thriller "Perfume: Story of a Murderer," and the Wachowskis, best known for their influential "Matrix" trilogy and 2008's massive flop "Speed Racer." The film is based on David Mitchell's acclaimed novel "Cloud Atlas," which works as a series of concentric circles — six stories, in total, which reverse direction once the book hits its midway point — covering a wide breadth of the human experience (and a multitude of literary genres), from an American notary traveling across the Pacific ocean in 1850 to a gay romance set in pre-World War II Europe to a clone revolt in the distant future.
Does the cinematic reincarnation of Mitchell's excellent book do it justice? Or is it a whole bunch of hogwash not worthy of your time? Read on to find out!
PRO: It's Unlike Anything You've Ever Seen Before…
To achieve the replication of the book's style and form, the directors decided to have the same handful of actors (among them Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Ben Whishaw, Susan Sarandon, Jim Broadbent and Hugh Grant) play roles in each section. So, for instance, you'll see Hanks play a thuggish modern-day author who throws a critic off a roof, a nefarious nineteenth-century doctor and a post-apocalyptic survivor wrestling with demonic urges. The movie also cuts around between the various stories throughout the whole running time, never settling in one scenario for more than a few minutes at a time. The effect is something like the last 30 minutes of "Inception" (with multiple storylines existing on different planes of dreamlike reality), except stretched across a genuinely epic three-hour run-time. This structure does much to emphasize the movie's views on the elasticity of time and space and the recurring theme of reincarnation. The scope and scale of "Cloud Atlas" are unbelievable, and it's a genuine feat to have the directors' corral their individual visions into a (mostly) cohesive whole.
CON: … That's Not Necessarily A Good Thing
At first, the incessant cutting is invigorating, with a feeling of bewilderment and confusion that isn't exactly unpleasant (it certainly beats a movie that goes to great lengths to over-explain everything) and somehow mimics our current cultural state of multiple browser tabs, texting, tweeting and constant Facebook-updating. Sadly, at a certain point, right before the last act, that sensation of exuberant experimentation wears thin, replaced by a feeling that borders on exhaustion. Sometimes the crosscutting actively lessens the drama and excitement, as in the case of an extended aerial chase sequence set in a neon-drenched futuristic Korea and much of the cross-Pacific voyage, since we're never given enough time to let any moment truly set in.
CON: If You Haven't Read The Book, You're Going To Be Especially Lost
Watching "Cloud Atlas," I felt like I had an ace in my pocket — I had actually read Mitchell's novel. If you haven't, then whole swaths of "Cloud Atlas," no matter how hard the directors work to underline the movie's thematic concerns, will probably come across as a barely comprehensible muddle. (It's not.) Things become clearer after the movie's first hour, but that's a lot of work to put in just to keep up with the basic narrative (there was at least one walkout at the screening we attended). "Cloud Atlas" is definitely worth the effort, though.
PRO: It's Woozily, Drunkenly Romantic
Despite all of the cutting around, the sheer beauty and romantic grandeur of "Cloud Atlas" persists. At times, each separate moment is so gorgeous and earnest that you get choked up. When these moments start to bump up against each other, cascading through time and space, is when the movie really hits its stride and becomes a singularly powerful piece of pop art, a kind of glittery cubist fairy tale. If you have someone in your life who you'd cross centuries for and happily wear goofy prosthetic makeup around, well, I suggest you take them to see "Cloud Atlas."
PRO: Playing Spot-The-Actor
One of the more primal kicks when watching "Cloud Atlas" is trying to spot the various actors as they pop up in different roles, obscured or camouflaged by make-up and prosthetic appliances. It's easy to notice Hugh Grant as the slippery owner of a nuclear power plant in a section set in the '70s (it resembles paranoid thrillers of the period), less so when he shows up a few stories later as a war-painted warrior in the distant post-apocalyptic future. Actors are constantly shapeshifting, changing scale and size, gender and ethnicity. Sometimes the effects are clunky but you're never truly taken out of the story (which is priority number one), and for the most part, it adds another layer of gentle psychedelic on top of an already surreal world.
CON: It's A Movie For Everyone and No One
On one hand the movie's themes are so universal and straightforward that it's hard to imagine them not touching moviegoers (any moviegoer, really), on the other hand, it's almost unstoppably weird. We can easily see stuffy art-house types, drawn in by the promotional imagery promising a period drama, disconnect entirely during the science-fiction sequences and be turned off by the movie's often times graphic violence. It's also going to be a terrifically difficult movie to tell people about. The conversation will probably go something like this:
Someone: "What's 'Cloud Atlas' and why should we see it?"
Me: "Oh it's this thing with Tom Hanks, it's sort of, um, a cosmic exploration of love and communication stretched across hundreds of years and a half-dozen narrative styles, featuring recurring actors and visual motifs used as a shorthand for the cyclical nature of life and reincarnation…"
Someone: [blank stares]
Me: "Yeah, 'Skyfall' is really good too."

Douglas Southall Freeman, the son of a Confederate soldier, was born in Lynchburg, Virginia, in 1886. He was commissioned to write a one-volume biography of Lee in 1915, but his research and writings over two decades produced four large volumes. Freeman won another Pulitzer Prize for his six-volume definitive biography of George Washington. He died in 1953.
Lee: An Abridgement in One Volumeby Douglas Southall Freeman
View All Available Formats & Editions
Douglas Southall Freeman's Pulitzer Prize–winning biography of Robert E. Lee was greeted with critical acclaim when it was first published in 1935. This reissue chronicles all the major aspects and highlights of the general's military career, from his stunning accomplishments in the Mexican War to the humbling surrender at Appomattox.
More than just a military leader, Lee embodied all the conflicts of his time. The son of a Revolutionary War hero and related by marriage to George Washington, he was the product of young America's elite. When Abraham Lincoln offered him command of the United States Army, however, he choose to lead the confederate ranks, convinced that his first loyalty lay with his native Virginia. Although a member of the planter class, he felt that slavery was "a moral and political evil." Aloof and somber, he nevertheless continually inspired his men by his deep concern for their personal welfare.
Freeman's biography is the full portrait of a great American—a distinguished, scholarly, yet eminently readable classic that has linked Freeman to Lee as irrevocably as Boswell to Dr. Johnson.

Shakes her head you know what have fun with nikki ok im gone
This is simply an amazing book. The original biography is 4 volumes long and in this book it is condensed into 1, and in my opinion without losing any detail or flavor of the original. Simply an amazing read.
Outstanding biography! This is for the serious scholar who wants to know the details about one of history's most facinating figures. Look in the bibliography section of any Lee bio and chances are you will see reference to Freeman's 'Lee'. Rightly so. He is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winning author. Freeman's strength is in the details and the way he uses Lee's own words as well as his contemporaries throughout the book. The best book about Lee without a doubt.

Critical Rating: AAAAA
Genre: Feature
An erotic masterpiece comes to life as award winning director Brad Armstrong tells the tale of "Angel" (Jessica Drake), a fallen Gregorian Angel who has been banished to earth and stripped of her wings after the accidental death of the young woman she was sent to watch over. Alone and desperate for companionship, she finds it in the city's seedy underworld, far from the idyllic heavens she once knew. Follow Angel on her dark journey through some of the most sinful and perverse places this world has to offer. As she continues her fall into darkness, she discovers a glimmer of light in Keith (Brad Armstrong), a handsome mortal who she is inexplicably drawn to. As Keith helps guide her back towards the light, a secret from the past comes back to haunt the duo, threatening to tear them apart. Can Angel regain her wings and soar once again? Or has she fallen for the last time, doomed to live out her days trapped in the purgatory she now calls home... Destined to become an adult classic, Armstrong's stunning visual style, combined with Drake's top-notch performance, mind-blowing sex scenes and a screenplay that delivers till the very last frame, Fallen is unforgettable.
Award winning director Brad Armstrong and Wicked contract goddess Jessica Drake, in what may collectively be their most compelling and sexually charged contribution to the adult industry, headline this erotic odyssey that follows the plight of a fallen angel who has been stripped of her wings and banished to Earth. They, along with a star-studded cast, deliver stellar displays of hardcore sex coupled with an emotional script that is chock full of heart and soul.
Along with praiseworthy videography and ingenious camera angles, the real winning feature of this production comes by way of the sheer volume of featured sex. Drake, in what may be considered her most powerful sexual performance to date, delivers seven sex scenes that include her first double penetration tryst, and three additional encounters of scorching anal debauchery.
The beauty of the production is actualized, however, in a magical scene starring Drake, Shyla Stylez and Niko. Together the girls slobber on his knob, seemingly vying for the opportunity to fondle his balls with their tongues. After success on both parts, Niko plows through Shyla in missionary position then takes control of Jessica in cowgirl, displaying heavenly views of her glorious bung throughout.
Jenna Haze also comes out to play, giving Armstrong a run for his money when she completely ravages him with impressively lethal doses of her killer pussy, while Angie Savage will undoubtedly make temperatures rise when she lovingly tangles with Jessica's twat in a lesbian liaison that leaves both girls dripping wet.
However hot that might be, it's the orgy scene that includes Ryder Skye, Michelle McLaren and Jada Fire, to name a few, that ultimately proves trading in a pair of angel wings for plenty of stiff horn a winning proposition.
Retailing: A landmark production with plenty of scalding sex and first-rate packaging. Stock well.

I have created a VB macro in Outlook 2007 and I no longer need it. I want to remove it from Outlook. How can I do this?
To create a macro you just hit Alt+F11 and up pops the editor. You enter code and once I restart Outlook it's now enabled. I cannot work out how to undo this. Even if I delete the actual code from the editor the macro is still there and I get macro warnings from it.
What can I do?

Lima could find itself without a leader after Sunday if the Peruvian capital's estimated six million residents vote to recall its leftist mayor Susana Villaran, the first woman to hold the post.
Villaran, a former minister for women and ex-presidential candidate, is fighting for her political life in a campaign with no precedent in Lima.
"It is a political and ideological vendetta at the cost of the city's welfare," she told AFP.
A little more than two years into Villaran's four year term, critics accuse her of failing to undertake major works and of paralyzing development in Lima, which accounts for half the country's GDP and is its main engine of growth.
"The recall campaign is based on a perceived negative balance, but when the journey is only half done what can you show for it?" Villaran demanded.
"What is in play aren't concerns for an efficient Lima but to bring down a progressive administration of the left," she claimed.
The 63-year-old will lose her job if the "yes" vote prevails on Sunday, and will serve out a term ending in December 2014 if the "no" votes take it.
Villaran was elected mayor in October 2010 at the head of a coalition that shifted control of the city to the left for the first time in 27 years.
Publishing poll results is barred in the final week of the campaign, but experts predict the race will be close and that Villaran will survive.
She has the support of most parties across the ideological spectrum, from the conservative Popular Christian Party to President Ollanta Humala's Nationalist Party to groups on the left.
Lined up against her are the National Solidarity party of former center-right mayor Luis Castaneda and the social democratic Apra party of former president Alan Garcia.
"The winner will be the people of Lima, who will have a democratic opportunity to hold the authorities accountable," said Apra congressman Mauricio Mulder. "If they say 'yes', fine. If they say 'no', that's fine too."
Villaran contends her opponents want to cash in on the private sector's business with the city.
But unions affected by Villaran's reforms, like the public transport union, also want her out. The mayor has clashed repeatedly with the public transport workers and grocery store owners over her attempts to regulate them.
Anger with her administration is also palpable in Lima's slums, where 1.7 million people live.

I'm trying SuperCache (v0.9.9.5) specifically to cache the Dagon Design Sitemap Generator page I have as it's huge and takes 10 seconds to generate and download live (I have the whole site displayed on one page -- no navigation buttons). If SuperCache is on, the page comes down as a blank page for logged in users and for other users sometimes blank sometimes not -- when not it comes up very fast so it did cache.
The question is why does the page come up blank -- i.e nothing. No source, nothing at all.
Any suggestions welcome.


text: INDIANAPOLIS ( MainStreet) -- Football fans have been swarming Indianapolis to watch two venerable NFL teams match up in Super Bowl XLVI at Lucas Oil Stadium. The National Retail Federation estimates there will be some $11 billion in nationwide Super Bowl spending on food and drink, apparel and electronics, among other things. As host city, Indianapolis can expect a larger than normal chunk of that: $150 million in direct spending from NFL sponsors, fans, media and other visitors as they throw down cash and credit cards for lodging, entertainment, food, business services and other hospitality needs, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers. Hosting the Super Bowl in Indianapolis presents an opportunity for the surrounding region to experience a "notable level of economic impact," PwC says. "The city is located within driving distance of many major markets, enabling event organizers to extend their reach and increase visitor levels to activities such as the NFL Experience and Super Bowl Village." Not all local businesses say the Super Bowl is good for business. Janet Pillsbury, who owns My Toy Garden with her husband, says because her specialty toy store is not in the direct path of football crowds, "if anything, we are seeing a decrease in sales." To make up for lost sales, the store plans an event for today called "No Pigskins here! Just Pigs!" to encourage parents and their children to come in to the store. Pillsbury plans to cater to the local consumers that want to stay away from downtown with a pig-themed event including arts and crafts, readings and other activities. "For me, there's been so much hype about the Super Bowl being here, and much of the energy and focus is centered on downtown. I decided that I could never compete with doing a Super Bowl-themed sale or event, but I need to do something to keep money coming in here as well. We are getting a great response to our No Pigskins Here! Just Pigs! Day," Pillsbury says. Still, other businesses in Indianapolis -- from food franchises to spa and nail services -- welcome the Super Bowl. Here are five saying they benefit from the big game coming to town.

We thought the two were determined on getting divorced, but turns out they haven't signed their papers yet. Vanessa and Kobe Bryant called off the divorce and are working on a "full reconciliation," reports TMZ.
When the two decided to get divorced in December 2011, Vanessa had to wait six months before she was able to file the final documents under California law. Well, that six month period is up this weekend–all that waiting time just to get back together!
So who's wearing the pants in this relationship? If at any point Vanessa decides that things are not working, all she has to do is file the final divorce papers and Kobe is gone from her life for good.
Do you think their marriage can be saved? Would love to hear your thoughts below!

The Bolton Nomination: Why Personality Matters in Diplomacy
Personality and character matter in diplomacy. Bolton wasn't nominated to be Deputy Secretary of Agriculture; he is nominated to be the our country's representative to the United Nations. Only the President and Secretary of State have a higher profile as the face and voice of US foreign policy around the world. Just as we worry about personal character (or at least should) in federal judges, we should worry about personal character in our high-profile diplomats.
I do not mean to suggest that blunt, aggressive behavior -- or even behavior that other states perceive to be "obnoxious" -- is alone a disqualifier. Indeed, recent history suggests that such traits can actual serve US interests well at the UN (see, e.g., Moynihan, Kirkpatrick, Albright, Holbrooke). My guess is that the Bush team recognized these traits in Bolton and the potential utility in deploying them to shake things up on the East River. But these current allegations go beyond blunt talk and gruff outbursts. Harassment of subordinates and opposite numbers is not only personally offensive, but also counterproductive to good policy. Alienating the internal team cuts off internal debate and discussion of policy options; alienating your counterparts limits options for cooperation. Both can lead to isolation of the principal, which leads to bad outcomes.
Consider the old adage that describes diplomacy as "the art of telling someone to go to hell in such a way that he looks forward to the trip." Bolton seems to have mastered only the first part.

Saraswati 3 during 19/3 until 29/3/12.
We were told during our airport pick up service that we were upgraded to this place, which is a couples retreat basically. 1 bedroom villas with private pool, outdoor shower, kitchenette etc.of which we were not disappointed. On arrival we were greated by the friendliest staff we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. All of them welcomed us with their traditional "susunan or sembah" greeting. (Palms pressed together under the chin whilst bowing) and gave us each a cold flannel and a nice cold non-alcoholic cocktail. Refreshment ahhh!
They then proceeded to help us with our luggage as they escorted us to our room #202.
Once inside the front door it was like "wow"!! What a beautiful amazing place. Our own private oasis in the tropics. The humidity is quite high for the uninitiated southern Australian, but the swimming pool fixes that......but that's another story.
Instantly we were given a tour and had everything explained to us by one of the young gentlemen staff who spoke quite good english. Some of the staff speak english better than others, but you can't complain about that, after all we are in their country not ours. Anyway, the pool is amazing & private (perfect for skinny dipping) and there are 2 LCD flat screen TV's. 1 in the cold air conditioned bedroom with DVD player, and the other outside in the living room of which i connected my laptop via HDMI cable and had played my music and videos through whilst accessing the free WI-FI. The WI-FI was slow and somewhat unreliable at times, but for the most part worked ok as we were close to the main building. Not sure how you would go right down the back?
We had our complimentary 1 hr full body massage also, which was simply awesome. Those little Balinese girls have the strongest hands you'll ever come across. Sheesh!
The restaurant food there is amazing and cheap too. We ate there most nights. We ate traditional Indonesian and Balinese food the whole time we were there. The buffet breakfast is amazing and changes daily. They have entertainment every 2nd night (a singer and keyboard player) and you can get up and have a sing if you like too (as i did). The free shuttle bus service is good for getting you in and out of town, but you need to book in advance. They provide mozzie coils each night for your living room and you can ask for more if you need them as we wanted one in the bathroom as well. That's where most of the mozzies were anyway. There is a mozzie net around the bed that also keeps them out too. 4 bottles of spring water are provided daily for brushing your fangs and drinking, as the local water is only for washing, showers (keeping your mouth shut!) and toilets. Bintangs are 35000 rupiah but you're better off drinking that, not brushing your teeth with it!! You'll get them cheaper up the road on Jl. Kunti 1 just over Jl. Sunset Road at a shop called "Bali Deli". A great little shopping centre/cafe/restaurant about 5-10 mins walk from the villa. Just mind the footpaths, or lack thereof and the dozens of motorbikes and cars.
We did the cooking class which was US $95 per couple, and they drive you into Denpasar to the big food market, let you choose your sweets for dessert, and they collect all the ingredients for making traditional Balinese style food. Once back in your own suite, you prepare and cook in your own kitchenette. There was a chef from the restaurant along with 2 assistants and we had a laugh exchanging jokes and talking like Borat etc while cooking up the tastiest amazing food we ever had, which we ate for lunch and dinner as there was quite a lot of it.
There is a pool filter pump that squirts water into the private villa pool via a statue with a hose like nozzle that can get a bit noisy if you are watching movies or listening to music outside, like we did a lot. So we just asked reception if they could switch it off, to which they did 5 minutes later which was much better. Then we were able to have the volume at a respectable level.
There are frogs that get around in and outside the villa as well as gecko's which both make noises at times, especially the gecko's. You can be sleeping in at the morning and hear the gecko's make a bird like tweet sound. i didn't mind that at all. Every 2nd night when there was a band (singer/keyboardist) playing, you would hear them if you were in the outside section of your villa. But it is not excessively loud. We stayed in suite 202 which is the 1st on the right hand side just opposite the restaurant and it was fine. If you come to Bali to complain about stuff, you are in the wrong frame of mind for a holiday, that's for sure! Overall, we had a lovely time and were treated like royalty the whole time we were there. The staff are amazing and bend over backwards to please you and the food is to die for. We highly recommend "The Bali Dream Suite Villas" for your next stay in Seminyak Bali. We would not hesitate in going back there for our stay. Cheers,

Eyes on the Street: The New 215th Step-Street Officially Opens Today
Over a decade after the project's first expected delivery date, the reconstruction of Inwood's 215th Step-Street is complete.
West 215th Street crosses the width of Manhattan island's northernmost neighborhood, from Inwood Hill Park to the Harlem River. Between Park Terrace East and Broadway, W. 215 is a step-street — one of many car-free street segments in Upper Manhattan and other parts of the city — connecting Broadway shops, buses, and the 1 train with residential blocks to the west.
Inwood history blogger Cole Thompson traced the origin of the double-wide staircase to 1915, when Broadway was paved with cobblestones and "the automobile was still a relatively new contraption."
By the late 20th century, the long, steep staircase was in sad shape. Resident requests to renovate the stairs date at least as far back as the 1990s, and the city once pledged to get the work done by 2005. For years afterward, however, the step-street continued to deteriorate, requiring periodic repairs as locals contended with ice patches and busted street lamps. In 2007 a woman was injured when she tripped on a hole in the stairs.

The wife of a British man linked to the murder of Hamas military leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh has said her husband was not involved in the assassination.
Dubai has identified Melvyn Adam Mildiner as one of six British passport holders believed to have been involved in the death of al-Mabhouh in a luxury hotel.
Speaking from their home near Jerusalem, Melvyn Mildiner's wife said: "It wasn't him. He's never been to Dubai. The pictures that are being shown everywhere are not of him. It is not his passport. He has it here in the house."
Dubai has identified six British passport holders believed to have been involved in the assassination of a Hamas commander in one of its luxury hotels.
Six British men, and two Irish men and a woman, have had their passports linked to the killings but they may have been stolen.
British government sources told the Daily Telegraph that they believed that the three Irish passport-holders accused of the assassination were Israeli Mossad agents using false documents.
A British journalist is being held in Gaza for 'violating security', Hamas has announced.
Freelance journalist Paul Martin, who has reported for the BBC and The Times, will be held by Hamas for a fortnight awaiting a court hearing.
The British consulate in Jerusalem confirmed that Mr Martin was being held and said it was "very concerned". A spokesman said Mr Martin's family had been informed.
Hamas leadership and the international media, understandably, immediately accused Israel's Mossad of being behind the killing of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in a Dubai hotel room two weeks ago.
There is no shortage of reasons for this. Mabhouh, for the last six years, was the main Hamas operative in the complex arm-smuggling organisation linking the Gaza Strip and Iran. Israel's intelligence services have been fighting a major campaign against this pipeline, largely in secret.
Hamas has strongly denied claims made by British businessman David Abrahams that it is prepared to recognise Israel.
The Jerusalem Post reported that after meeting Labour Party donor Mr Abrahams in Hebron, the Hamas Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, Aziz Dwaik, had said that the group was prepared to renounce the Hamas charter, which calls for the destruction of Israel.
Mr Dwaik has since denied he ever said such a thing, and wrote on the Hamas website that the group would never recognise any occupation of Palestinian lands.
British businessman David Abrahams claims to have obtained a significant concession from Hamas following a private meeting with the group's leadership.
Mr Abrahams says that Palestinian Legislative Council speaker Aziz Dwaik told him the organisation "may be prepared" to nullify the Hamas Charter, which calls for the destruction of Israel.
Once a key player in Labour's "donorgate" scandal, Newcastle property developer Mr Abrahams says he has set out on a personal mission to help negotiate peace in the Middle East.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown and the Universities Minister, David Lammy, expressed concern this week as it emerged that Birmingham University was refusing to ban a speaker who has advocated suicide bombing, supports Hizbollah and is widely known as Hamas's representative in the UK.
Labour MP Denis MacShane, chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism, protested to the university's vice-chancellor Prof David Eastwood about the appearance of Dr Azzam Tamimi, who told BBC TV he would be happy to be a suicide bomber.
Gulf War veteran Colonel Tim Collins has told the BBC that he believes Hamas is committing war crimes.
Col Collins, who grew up in Belfast during the Troubles, visited the town of Sderot in Israel and Gaza in a programme for BBC Newsnight, to give a soldier's view of the Middle East conflict.
He was shown around Sderot bomb shelters and the police station, where he inspected a rocket from Gaza and pronounced it to be an indiscriminate weapon.
He said: "From growing up in Belfast during the Troubles, I can sympathise with the people of Sderot, this is just no way to live."
AT Around 11pm on Monday, a large explosion was heard near Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip. Reports began to stream in from civilians on both sides of Israeli Air Force strikes, dead Hamas fighters, IDF units concentrated near the border and forces on the move. For a few minutes, it seemed as if a year after Operation Cast Lead, another Israeli invasion of Gaza was under way.
The main obstacle remaining to the Gilad Shalit prisoner deal is the number of Palestinian prisoners who will not be allowed to return to their homes in the West Bank.
