Graham, the central character of the novel, awakens into a troubled world after a two-hundred year slumber, much like Rip Van Winkle. The compound interest on his bank accounts has made him the richest man in the world and a very powerful one indeed. A trust known as the White Council used Graham’s wealth to establish a vast political and economic world order, which is now much hated by the people. Word spreads that the fabled sleeper has awakened and the people demand to see him. The Council, which rules the world in his name, prefers that he remain out of the way and places him under house arrest. He is liberated by revolutionaries and he soon learns the ugly truth about this new world, which persuades him to take part in the revolution.
The novel has plenty of action which more than makes up for the author’s socialist inclinations. It has engine-driven “aeroplanes” with 600-foot wing spans and smaller, nimbler “aeropiles,” it has a revolution and a counter-revolution, and there are battles fought in the air for supremacy.

Bononcini, Giovanni [1670 AD -1747 AD], Astartus an Opera as it was Perform'd at the Kings Theatre for the Royal Accademy. London: J. Walsh and J. Hare, [1721], First Edition, 2 leaves, 81 pages, engraved throughout, table of songs and advertisement. Size: folio (34.2 x 22.8cm). Condition: early inscription ("Giv'n to ye Musick-Club by Mr. Professor Goodson Aug: 30 1722") and stamp of 'Musical Society Oxford' to title, Dolmetsch Library stamp and pencil shelfmark ("II C 45") to verso of title, manuscript Dolmetsch Library label affixed to head of spine with translucent adhesive tape, old manuscript labels to upper cover ("21"; "915 V"), contemporary marbled boards, red morocco label gilt to upper cover ("Astartus"), with later endpapers (watermarked "1804"), cracked at lower hinge, old ink stains to outer edges, covers worn. RARE. The last copy we have traced at auction was sold at Sotheby’s on 9 December 1999 (lot 42). LITERATURE: RISM B 3557 and BB 3557; Smith and Humphries, no.191. A revised version of Bononcini's original opera of 1715 was premiered at the King's Theatre in London in November 1720. It was one of only two London operas for which Bononcini, Handel's great London rival, published the overture and arias.
Lone Wolf, principal chief of the Kiowas during the critical 1860's and '70's led a Jekyll-Hyde life during the years following the Medicine Lodge Treaty of 1867. By the terms of the treaty, the Kiowas were supposed to remain on their reservation at Fort Sill, Indian Territory, and cease all depredations. Lone Wolf's relations with the Army were good during the months following the treaty council. He professed his love of peace and harmony openly and apparently was sincere so long as Texas did not enter into consideration.
The chief's hatred of the Texans was implacable, but it was not irrational. He perceived that their very presence was driving the bison herds westward to be slaughtered by hide hunters. The way of life and even the religion of the Plains tribes were founded upon the presence of the buffalo herds and Lone Wolf knew that the special faced destruction unless the Texans were driven away.
In February, 1866, Lone Wolf led 50 braves into Texas on a series of raids in which 18 men, women and children were killed without mercy. The hunting party returned with 200 horses and mules plus tons of loot. A month later he brought a war party to within five miles of Fort Griffin where a number of white settlers were killed and 150 horses were stolen. The Kiowa hero of this raid was Lone Wolf's foster son, Mamadayte, who, alone and on foot, routed and killed three armed white men.
As pressure from the Army increased, more and more of the Indians chose to remain peacefully on the reservation. Although he continued to live outside with his band of warriors, Lone Wolf came to the agency often to express his friendship. During these times his braves went in raiding parties to Texas, usually under the leadership of Mamadayte. When suspicion too often pointed to his band, Lone Wolf brought his men to the agency. Small groups were able to slip away to Texas while the chief and the bulk of his men remained to cover for them.
After raids in Texas in 1874, Lone Wolf and his renegade band of warriors surrendered to authorities in February, 1975. Lone Wolf was imprisoned in Florida. When he was released more than three years later his health was broken by malarial fever and he died in the summer of 1879. He is buried on Mt. Scott.

I've been a pretty big Bumblebee fan since 1985, not necessarily due to his kid appeal, but just because I like his design.
I'm not a huge fan of Bayformers (the Michael Bay movie version of The Transformers), and the only two movie toys I have are the Battle Blade and Battle Ops Bumblebees.
The Transformers: Prime show, on the other hand, I really like. It seems to strike a nice balance between Bayformers and G1. While this deluxe class Bumblebee isn't terribly show-accurate, I think he's still a very well designed toy.
Stay tuned for a Bumblebee family photo in the coming months ^___^

I purchased this full set from a doll shop (same one i sold things to) but i cant remember how much i paid. I feel like it was around $20 for them all & that was in the 90's. All are unpunched, meaning they never hung on pegs in a store. Some of the plastic is yellowing from time but all are mint inside.
This is the full set of first edition Dazzle's & i think they came out around 1981 around the same time as the Glamour Gals.
These werent as fun as Glamour Gals in the sense that their legs didnt bend at all. Making them sit was awkward to say the least. Mattel failed in their version of making them stand because their left leg has a permanent bend in it & when you put them on the stands, they almost always leaned to one side which for a child, that was annoying (still annoying as an adult & im not sure which was worse, lol). The nice thing about them though is there was no painted/molded on clothes, all pieces could be removed. Essentially they were a miniature barbie.
Unlike the Glamour gals who were just under 4", Dazzle's were 4 1/2" tall.
I got all the dolls, dazzle city & the horse all when the stuff came out. I never did get any fashions & i didnt even know there was other 2nd release dolls ever produced until several years ago when i first uploaded my pics to my other main flickr acct & someone said there was other dolls.
The 2nd release saw 2 more girl dolls & 2 boys! Shimmer, Starla, Ace & Glint, as well as 2 more fashion packs.
Considering Glamour Gals' whopping 80 different dolls, mattel only produced 12 for their line total, which for mattel is really strange. Perhaps the feedback was enough for them not to go further with it. Had they made them bendable, they just might have been more popular. They will always hold a special place with me & i will never part with my stuff.
"In Darkest Africa (1890) is Henry M. Stanley’s own account of his last adventure on the African continent. At the turn of that century, the interior of the African continent was largely unknown to the American and European public. With the accounts of great explorers like Stanley, readers became thrilled by stories of African expeditions and longed to follow in the footsteps of these explorers. In 1888, Stanley led an expedition to come to the aid of Mehmed Emin Pasha. The two volumes that compose 'In Darkest Africa; or, The Quest, Rescue, and Retreat of Emin, Governor of Equatoria' are his account of what happened."

Charles Willeford is best known for his series of novels featuring hardboiled detective Hoke Moseley. The first Hoke Moseley book, Miami Blues (1984), is considered one of its era's most influential works of crime fiction. Film adaptations have been made of three of Willeford's novels: Cockfighter, Miami Blues and The Woman Chaser. According to crime novelist Lawrence Block, "Willeford wrote quirky books about quirky characters and seems to have done so with a magnificent disregard for what anyone else thought."

"Though Cliffjumper had died, his body still had uses. When Megatron wanted a corpse on which to test Dark Energon's resurrection powers, Cliffjumper's was used as a guinea pig. Once his torso was stabbed through by a shard of the material, Cliffjumper did spring back to life...though as a psychotic, screaming zombie that attacked anything in its path! Only being sliced in two by Megatron stopped Cliffjumper's rampage, and his two halves decorated varying levels of the Decepticons' energon mine." Source: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cliffjumper_(Prime).

“The Chimes” is Dickens’ second Christmas book, the first being “A Christmas Carol.” It continues his social commentaries on the poor. Structured similarly to “A Christmas Carol,” the main character, Trotty, witnesses an alternative future through a series of visions and ultimately is given a second chance to put things right. “The Chimes” was a bestseller in its day, but has since been eclipsed by “A Christmas Carol.” “The Chimes” is illustrated with thirteen engravings by artists John Leech, John Tenniel, Richard Doyle, Daniel Maclise and Clarkson Stanfield.
In all, Dickens wrote five Christmas books: “A Christmas Carol” (1843), “The Chimes” (though dated 1845 it was released in December 1844), “The Cricket on the Hearth” (1845), “The Battle of Life” (1846), and “The Haunted Man” (1848).
