How much is a world book encyclopedia set worth?
I almost threw out a whole set of encyclopedias today and I decided to see how much it was worth. The World book site says 1000 dollars. But I'm not sure if mine is the exact.
I have a complete set of the world book 75 anniversary edition.
With the incredible access to information afforded by the Internet, encyclopedia are not popular today. Given the speed with which information changes, expandes and updates, encyclopedia become quickly outdated as well, even with the annual updates.
The World Book site would not be well served were it to report that sets of its encyclopedia are worthless.
You might check out Ebay and http://www.abe.com for price comparisons.
There are enough people around who find World Book (or others) nice to have in the house or a nice edition to their home libraries, or for sentimental reasons. But for the most part, they are an anachronism.
I have an extensive reference library for my work. I find these days that I rarely pull the individual books off the shelf. I just do a quick Google and am able to check multiple sources in a couple of minutes.

Upon awakening, Jeffrey sets out to save Dana and seek out the answers to his many troublesome questions. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi |

| | No End in Sight $9.63 On March 19, 2003, forces from the United States and a handful of allied nations invaded Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein from power. American military leaders expected the conflict to last no more than a few months, and President George W. Bush declared that major military operations were over less than two months later. However, Iraq soon became a dangerous quagmire for American forces, and near the end of 2006, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, one of the key architects of America's strategy in Iraq, resigned from office due to public outcry and Bush declared he was "rethinking" his plan of attack in Iraq as the nation sank into civil war, with U.S. troops the frequent targets of attacks on both sides. How and why did America's leaders decide to invade Iraq? How did they formulate a strategy that went so far wrong? And can anything be done to salvage the situation? Filmmaker Charles Ferguson, a former advisor with the Brookings Institution, examines these questions in No End in Sight, a documentary on the War in Iraq which includes interviews with a number of figures involved in the conflict's decision-making process, some speaking on-camera about the war for the first time. No End in Sight was screened in competition at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |

The past continues to haunt him, however, filling his days with irrepressible anxiety, robbing his nights of sleep, and driving him inexorably toward a full self-awakening. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi |

| | Rock $7.99 The sophomore film from former music video and commercial director Michael Bay, this fast-paced action yarn featured rapid-fire editing, a cutting-edge rock soundtrack and liberal use of shots awash in a haze of burnished hues, all trademarks of producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer. Nicolas Cage stars as Stanley Goodspeed, an FBI chemical weapons expert handed a unique assignment. Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris), an insane Marine Corps general, has taken 81 tourists hostage on the abandoned island prison of Alcatraz. He and his men are threatening to bomb San Francisco with deadly gas unless $100 million is paid in war reparations to the families of servicemen killed in covert operations. Goodspeed is teamed with former British spy John Patrick Mason (Sean Connery), the only man ever to escape "The Rock," as well as a Navy SEAL team. When their military escorts are ambushed, it's up to odd couple Goodspeed and Mason to break into Alcatraz and stop Hummel. The Rock was the last film produced by Simpson, who died of a drug overdose before the film's release. Solo, his partner Bruckheimer continued making the sort of glossy, frenetic films for which the duo was famed. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi |

Out of Sight DVD (1966) Jonathon Day Karen Jensen
Meeting Mandy
Here’s how we went about mission impossible.
Both of us joined the local keep fit classes (well you have to start somewhere) all went well until Mandy split her jogging pants doing the simplest exercise ever. Retiring to the pub to drown our sorrows with slimline tonic didn’t seem do work very well but adding a double vodka did the trick and the second one worked even better. They do say not rush into these things the body likes slow changes in terms of exercise. We agreed to take it a bit more serious when we went to the next class. Boy was it serious, the female instructor was on holiday and her replacement was a young fit and handsome looking chap who could have easily been a commando. It took a lot of effort to concentrate on the exercise routine. All was reasonably well until he took us for a run round the local park. It was when Mandy and I collapsed on a bench and had a cigarette that we knew this wasn’t for us. Maybe we should try yoga which is not so strenuous and bin the fitness class.
Not so strenuous, you must be joking. We purchased a yoga DVD and tried to copy the movements shown by a beautiful twenty year old, eight and a half stone female. Well I might be beautiful (only joking) but definitely not twenty years old or anywhere near eight and a half stone. Have you ever tried doing some of the movements they get up to? One I tried I nearly rocked myself to sleep trying to get up afterwards. Just let them try these exercises when they are over weight. I thought yoga was all about sitting in one place with your legs crossed. I bet you don’t know just how many types of yoga there are. Binned the DVD, why punish your body when it’s the mouth that causes all the trouble.
Someone told us that you have to burn off more calories than you consume and we both assumed we did enough burning with running round after the children doing housework etc. Evidently that was not sufficient so Mandy and I purchased a tread mill thingy. One that you can use at home, starting at a slow rate then gradually speeding it up when you feel more confident. After a while if used regularly you do get accustomed to it and of course you can exercise at times to suit yourself. The downside is that it is so darned boring; you are running there on the same spot for however long you can manage looking at the same old wall or whatever. My boredom threshold is not that high anyway. You do have a laugh though when one of you gets cocky and speeds it up then can’t keep up with it.
Trying to get away from the boredom of the treadmill we started using our children’s bicycles to get about and exercise. I haven’t ridden a bike on the roads for almost twenty years and this episode was a rude awakening for me. The looks, language and signs we received from motorists were unbelievable. The last straw was when a speed cop went passed us did a U turn came back and asked us if we had actually read an up to date copy of the highway code, how embarrassing. Binned the bikes, or maybe we were banned by the children from ever using their bicycles ever again. Oh well back to the drawing board, there’s got to be an easier way of losing weight.
The treadmill was quite expensive and we tried to recoup some of our money by advertising it for sale. The lady who came to purchase it told us she had been advised to do some regular exercise as she was worried about ending up like her friend who had just had a gastric band fitted. I looked at Mandy; she was giving me that look that says “don’t even think about it”. Who me? I wouldn’t dream having that done, that’s just too drastic.
Mandy got herself a dog, not just any dog but a big dog. Her reasoning was that if she took it out for long walks that would give her plenty of healthy exercise on a regular basis. What she had forgotten was the fact that every dog large or small has a built in timer and will bring its lead to you at the same time every day for walkies, rain or shine. I went to Mandy’s house and there she was slumped on the couch and the dog was on the treadmill, problem solved, so we couldn’t sell it now anyway.
The next thing we tried was slimming pills. If any of you are thinking about taking any then think twice about the side effects like diarrhoea. We both started taking some pills following the manufacturer’s instructions. After a couple of days we were out shopping waiting in a cashiers queue when I had a sudden attack of stomach pains, it would have been disastrous for me to move or even cough as I would have done it there and then, if you know what I mean. I just had to stand there for what seemed a lifetime waiting for it to pass with loads of people waiting behind me wondering what the heck I was up to. Well I couldn’t actually tell them could I? The best way to lose weight with slimming pills is to tip the whole packet on the floor then try squatting, bending the knees whilst keep the back straight then pick them up one by one. Binned the pills.
So where did we go from there? Supplements of course.
Meaning something added to complete a thing or to make up for a deficiency.
Have you ever tried eating some of the products that are supposed to supplement your diet? Wallpaper paste looks more appetising. I remember one day having a few plates of this so called nutritious food on the table when the kids got home from school, none of them even attempted to eat any of it, usually they devour anything edible in sight, even the dog’s dinner looked more inviting. I dare you to try some of the so called slimming biscuits on offer, you know the ones that look like they are made of polystyrene. Just wait till you go to the loo and try to flush it away it all keeps floating back to the surface like some swimming aid. It’s alright if that happens whilst you’re at home but you are in deep trouble if you are visiting the mother-in-law for the weekend. You’ve guessed it, binned the supplements.
Perhaps we should try dieting instead. Why didn’t we do that in the first place? I won’t even go there, it did make me a light eater though. As soon as it got light I started to eat. Dieting made me very tired so I went to the doctors and he prescribed some pep pills but they just made me eat faster.
Basically after all the time and money we spent on the various procedures diets and equipment it just added a lot of stress to our relatively tranquil lives. It would have been a lot easier had we known from the start about Ali’s slim girl’s box of secrets.
Now that’s what I call MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

20 yrs old and I'm stuck in the 90s. Who's with me?
I know I sound like some old-timer beggin for the "good-old days", but I can't even go out anymore and have a good time.
Clubs and bars all play music I can't stand, the only indie scenes are emo or wanna-be punk (like Greenday was ever punk, but they were good early on), the only rap scenes got no style (mumbling 50 Cent and highpitch Emnenem vs oldschool Cypress Hill, Tribe, 90s Ice Cube, Ghetto Boys, etc).
You can't find that Joan Jett "Rocker Chick" anywhere, and the those Hendrix style chillers aren't common crew.
Cars suck, bikes got a bad rep, nobody does anything for the adrenaline rush like raft, climb, skydive (tho alotta posers all say they want to) or fight, and no one is nearly as interested in "good-times" anymore.
What's the deal here? Where can I go? What can I do? Where's Joan Jett and Hendrix?

Ouray Ice climbing Festival 2008
Advice on Mt. Elbrus?
Has anyone hiked Elbrus?
If so, I want to know everything about it... how to get there, did you go with a tour-guide, how much did it cost total, what kind of gear you needed, how long it took... the works.
I'll be about in Moscow and have experience climbing but don't own my own ice gear (hiking crampons, climbing boots, ice axe, gaiters, etc.) and would need to purchase them if I decide to do this. Half of me says I'll need the gear again in the future and it'd be nice to own but the other half says it's money that I don't currently have (esp. crampons -- man those are pricey).
That said, does anyone know a great place to get deals on used mountaineering gear?
Any and all feedback appreciated.
For a good walkthrough of the mountain, look at the SummitPost page on Elbrus. If you want live feedback, consider calling any one of many guiding companies that have an elbrus expedition (Mountain Madness, Alpine Ascents, etc.)
For used climbing gear, talk to climbing shops around the US. Many of them have trade-in sales where people take their old gear in and the store helps them sell it.
