What could I get for a Dell Dimension E510 great condition but has no hard drive?
I have a Dell Dimension in perfect condition, without however, has no hard drive but you can take one of about 50 dollars for it, im looking to get an Alienware laptop so hopefully I get a little for her. Could anyone give me a quote? (not all the money comes from Dell Laptop)
I mean, I could get rid of it for $ 200, but as a flat panel monitor and keyboard / mouse, so you could get about $ 275 to $ 300 maximum for her (except postage) to put the eBay auction!

Excerpt: 96 Proposed Establishments in Suburban Districts Examined, Proposed Remedies by means of separate Parochial Establishments in Suburban Districts. 103. A set of remedies, as proposed in the Committee of the House of Commons, and agreed to, has been before the public, and the chief part of them embodied in a bill proposed to the House at the close of the Session of Parliament of 1842. All the evidence of disinterested persons which I have met with, all paid and experienced officers connected with parishes, whose interests would perhaps be the least disturbed by parochial establishments, concur in the conclusion that the measures proposed for creating such establishments would not diminish, but would rather diffuse, and might even aggravate the evils intended to be remedied. By the first clause it was proposed to enact -- That the rector, vicar, or incumbent, and the church-wardens of every parish, township, or place in every such city, town, borough, or place respectively, shall form a parochial committee of health for every such parish, township, or place. 104. The first observation which occurs on this proposal is, that it involves the formation of a committee of health, for the execution of a sanitary measure, requiring the application of a very high degree of the science applicable to the protection of the public health, and omits all provision of services of the nature of t... |

The Condition LP: A Novel
$5.29 “Filled with genuine insight and touching lyricism.”“[Haigh] looks unflinchingly at family ties—the kind that limit and the kind that can actually liberate. The Condition is a satisfying feat of literary choreography.”“[A] rich, enjoyable third novel. . . . Haigh sets many balls in motion . . . [and] the McKotch clan evolves believably, and satisfyingly.”“Poignant. . . . A strong nod to the healing power of love.”“The ailment at the center of this remarkable novel is the human condition itself. Jennifer Haigh has written a sprawling, emotionally gripping account of one family’s troubled history, enlivened by her formidable intelligence and deep insight into her characters’ hearts and minds.”“Haigh’s characters are layered and authentic. Moreover, one would have to have a heart of stone not to care for them and follow their small sagas. . . . Haigh is such a gifted chronicler of the human condition.”“Jennifer Haigh illuminates the dark tangle of desire and deed that is the family, that crucible we so often yearn to flee yet keep coming back to again and again. THE CONDITION is unsentimental, compelling, and moving, and I urge you to read it!”“THE CONDITION is something rare. . . . Ms. Haigh has a great gift for telling interwoven family stories and doing justice to all the different perspectives they present. . . . A remarkable accomplishment.” |

Reflections on the American Condition

Drucker has, over a lifetime, pursued a discipline that he terms social ecology. The writings brought together in The Ecological Vision define the discipline as a sustained inquiry into the man-made environment and an active effort at maintaining equilibrium between change and conservation. |

Religious Condition of Christendom

Excerpt from book: In the Great Hall of the Yereinshait-t, Monday, September 1st. THE CONNEXION BETWEEN BASLE AND THE ENGLISH REFORMATION. By the Rev. John Stoughton, D.D. There was a notable ecclesiastical gathering held in Basle four hundred and fifty years ago, which in some respects resembled the present. Christendom was divided then as now, not to the same extent perhaps, but certainly divisions were very numerous. After long repression the spirit of religious inquiry was breaking out; reformers before the Reformation were making their appearance, and the question ever coming to the front in all theological controversy was, Where lies the ultimate authority for religious beliefs ? in Popes, in Councils, or in the Word of God ? This Conference meets in times of somewhat similar, but of still deeper and wider agitation, when to the question, Is the Church or the Bible the final test of truth ?. is added another, Shall Reason or Revelation be our guide as to the highest of all subjects ? As then, so now, union is the object contemplated?the healing of divisions, the pacification. of the strife of tongues. Between the famous Council of Basle, however, and the Conference now assembled there is a vast difference. We now regard- union under a different aspect from that in which it was regarded by those ancient fathers. They aimed at uniformity; at a precise, definitely expressed agreement of opinion in reference to theological and ecclesiastical points; and, intending to make their decisions conclusive, they were prepared to force their decrees on Christendom without showing mercy to any recalcitrant brother. We distinguish between unity and uniformity; holding, after the experience of ages, that the latter is impossible; maintaining on Scriptural grounds that the former is the true idea... |

On the Present Condition of the Soda Industry

Excerpt from book: itself uses its own pyrites; and the former of them supplies with pyrites the greater number of the other alkali-makers in the North of France, while the latter supplies with pyrites all the other alkali-makers of the South of France. It has obviously been impossible to sell Spanish pyrites to either of the two great soda-making firms, each of which thus has pyrites and by no means dear pyrites of its own, and each of which is a large seller of pyrites to other soda- makers; and the other French soda-makers, for the most part, have been precluded from even considering the question of changing to Spanish pyrites, if only by reason of the French habit of contracting for the supply of raw materials over very long periods. A French manufacturer's contract for raw materials is generally a contract for fifteen years; and most of the French soda-makers are now obtaining their pyrites under contracts which have yet a considerable time to run. Under these circumstances the Rio Tinto Company has taken a remarkable step. To understand the motive to4his step, it must be borne in mind that while French pyrites does not contain copper, and so has scarcely any value beyond that of the sulphur which it contains, Spanish pyrites has a considerable value in addition to its sulphur value. While the value of Spanish pyrites for the sulphur in it is equal to that of the best non-cupreous pyrites, its value for copper is greater than its value for sulphur, and, not to speak of its value as regards precious metals, it has also a considerable value for its iron. In this country, the cinders left after as much as possible of the sulphur of non-cupreous pyrites has been burnt off are considered to have no value at all; and even in France, ?where the import duty on cast-iron is greater than the present p... |

Excerpt from book: STUDYING THE CONDITION OF AFFAIRS INDIAN TERRITORY AND CALIFORNIA. A REPORT By PROF. C. C. PAINTER, AGENT OF THE INDIAN RIGHTS ASSOCIATION. At the joint request of the Executive Committee of the Indian Rights Association and of the Mohonk Committee on Legal N, Defence of the Mission Indians, as general Agent of the Indian ] Rights Association, I made a third annual visit to southern Cali- s fornia during the spring and summer of 1887, leaving home on v the second of May and returning in August, stopping in the s Indian Territory on the way out to look into the condition of things at the several Agencies among the Indians west of the five civilized tribes. Calling on the President and Secretary of the Interior, and informing them of the scope and purpose of my visit, I was requested by them to look into the condition of the schools at the several points visited, and to give my opinion as to the advisability of removing the Indians west of Oklahoma into that part of the country, with a view to opening up to settlement the lands now occupied by them, as proposed by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and urged with great pertinacity by certain Congressmen from Iowa and Illinois. Through General Kelton, Acting Secretary of War, I was kindly furnished with letters to the commandants of the several military posts along my route, which were of the greatest assistance to me, and I take this opportunity to acknowledge the very great courtesy which has been shown me, whenever opportunity has offered, by Array officers, and the valuable aid given me in the prosecution of my work. With few exceptions, the soldiers who have been forced to fight Indians have a very cordial and profound respect for them as a part of the human family, and great sy... |

Great Canadian North West: Its Past History, Present Condition and Glo
$23.15 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. The original Indian tribes of the North West: a description of the several great bands?The Swampy Settlement?The conduct of the Fur Companies towards the Indians?The good influence of the Hudson's Bay Co. over the red men. We will now retrace our steps once more in order to give some particulars concerning the Indian tribes of the North West. The original bands living to the East of the Eocky Mountains as far as Lake Winnipeg and Eed Eiver, within British territory, were as follows: Cree, Shonshwap, Yellow Knife, Assiniboine, Mountain, Dog Rib, Blood, Saulteaux, Strong Bow, Blackfeet, Takall, Inland, Beaver, Nahany, Copper, Carrier, Chipewan, Swampy. The population of the above in 1855 was, as near as it could be estimated, 47,000 souls, and from Lake Winnipeg and Eed Eiver to the north of Lake Superior, and along the St. Lawrence clear to the coast of Labrador, the number of Indians was calculated at over 17,000, so that the total Indian population in British North America east of the Rocky Mountains may be reckoned at 64,000 in the year 1855. Many of the above bands, however, have become extinct since then, or they have become merged into other tribes. The Saulteaux and Swampies were looked upon as intruders by the other Indians, the former having been brought into the country from the older provinces of Canada by the North West Company, and the latter having wandered into the settlement from the vicinity of Hudson's Bay. The earliest date that any Saulteaux found his wayinto the neighbourhood of the Eed Eiver country-was about the year 1780. The Swampies were first a docile, peaceful people, and were employed a great deal by the Scotch settlers to assist in farming operations and othe r work about the settlement. In 1832 Eev.

Excerpt from book: 133 CHAP III. I On Government. ' ' - - ' -t ACCORDING to Aristotle, men are, and always have been not only moral and social, but also political animals; in a great measure, dependent for their happiness and prosperity on the public institutions of their respective countries. That men are, and always have been dependent, for their happiness and prosperity, on the government and public institutions of their respective countries, may be fully admitted; but that they are, and always have been, moral and social beings, may probably, in a great measure, be doubted. The moral and social nature of man, in society, certainly depends upon the moral and social virtues which governments may establish, encourage, and refine. '! Aristotle maintained, that society and government are as congenial to the nature of man, as it is natural for a plant to fix its roots in the earth, extend its branches, and scatter its seeds. According to him, neither cunning, cowardly principles, nor benevolent moral reflections, ought to be involved in the solution of the question of politics; since the first political societies were as independent of human intelligence, and therefore of moral determination, as the instinctive actions of plants and insects, tending to the preservation of their respective kinds, are independent of any intelligence of their own, even when they move and operate conformably to the laws of the most consummate wisdom. Government then is coeval with society, and society with men. Both are the works of nature; and therefore, in explaining their origin, there cannot be the smallest ground for the fanciful supposition of engagements and compacts; pr that invisible th.ing, called the fundamental con-: tract of nations, which, as Bishop Stillingfleet observes, being no wher... |

Universalists is the general and approved name of that denomination of Christians, which is distinguished for believing that God will finally save all mankind from sin and death, and make all intelligences holy and happy by and through the mediation of Jesus. Christ, the Saviour of the world. The great general sentiment of the final, universal salvation of all moral beings from sin and death, in which this denomination is united, and by which it is distinguished, is termed Universalism; or, sometimes, by way of varying the phraseology, ' the Abrahamic faith,' because it is the gospel that was declared to Abraham -- or, sometimes, ' the Restitution,' or, ' the Restitution of all things, |

A Catechism Of Scripture History And Of The Condition Of The Jews
$34.34 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: AUTHOR'S PREFACE; THE DESIGN OF SUCH A SHORT VIEW OF SCRIPTURE HISTORY, AND THE ADVANTAGES OF IT. The Holy Scripture is divided into two Books, which are commonly called the Old Testament and the New; and as each of these books contains several articles or propositions which God has revealed to men for the direction of their faith and practice in the successive ages of the world, so there are several histories contained in them, or narratives of the lives and death of men, of the affairs of nations, and especially of the transactions of God with mankind. Some knowledge of these historical matters is necessary and useful, in order to obtain a more clear and full acquaintance with the principles of our holy religion, as well as to assist and engage us in the practice of it, by way of motive. It is the history all along introduces the peculiar doctrine and duties; and all the latter revelations of the mind and will of God. relating to religion, have some connection with, and dependence upon, the events which went he- fore. The very gospel of Christ consists partly in the history of his life and death; nor can the other part of it, namely, the doctrines and duties, be so well understood without some knowledge of the law of Moses, the ceremonies of the Jews, the religion of the patriarchs, and the transactions of God with Adam, the first father of all mankind. The great and blessed God at one single view surveys all his own works and designs, from the beginning to the end of them; and every part of his grand scheme stands in a delightful harmony with the rest. He has ordained all his more early dealings with men in such a manner as to let in divine light by several gradations upon a dark world, and to lay a happy foundation for his latest and best revelation made by his ... |

In glancing at the habits and morals of the great mass of our fellow townsmen, we must first direct attention to the evils that result from the neglect of sanitary arrangements. The necessity of improvement in the dwellings of the poor, before any permanent elevation of the class that inhabit them can be attained, will be evident to any one who walks through our lanes and courts with an observant eye. The habits of a population are very much affected by the conveniences at command. Dirt, disease, and immorality are frequently associated. The bad arrangements connected with the dwellings of the poor produce a degree of wretchedness which leads to demoralization. In the words of Lord Ebrington, ' Experience has proved, what indeed a priori reasoning would have induced us to believe, that people cannot be lodged like pigs and live like Christians.' The circumstances in which many of the poor are placed break down all the powers of decency and self-respect, and it is therefore vain to expect from them as great a regard for the laws of morality, or the MANNERS, MORALS, AND SOCIAL CONDITION. 47 regulations of society, as might reasonably be anticipated under more favourable influences. Bad drainage and a defective supply of water induce personal uncleanliness and slovenly habits in the woman, which cause the man to be dissatisfied with his home and to seek refuge at the ale house. Waste water is thrown out at the doors, making the yards wet and dirty, and thus filth accumulates. That the trouble of obtaining water should cause men to forego some of the comforts of cleanlin... |

Ceylon, Her Present Condition: Revenues, Taxes, and Expenditure

Excerpt from book: Ceylon textit{interests have been textit{depressed, but Ceylon textit{property has not been textit{deteriorated. Ceylon estates were never at any time intrinsically more valuable than they now are, and they offer security which may safely be recommended to all those capitalists who are not involved in such engagements as might require them to realize suddenly. Ceylon securities' are not suitable investments to those who want their money at call, but the high interest they pay is a great and sufficient inducement to all who desire permanent investments: would that they were better/ known at home. In contending for the general good condition of coffee estates, and the soundness of the enterprise at the present time, it is not denied that there are some miserably worthless properties and some recklessly bad men in Ceylon; but there are such exceptional elements in textit{every country and enterprise, and textit{Ceylon has not more than her share of them. They are not therefore worthy of any special mention in the history of the present depression, though it is of course in such times that their existence is brought to light and their evil influence most mischievous. My next letter will be on the influence of the Coffee Companies. III. THE CEYLON COFFEE COMPANIES. The Coffee Companies have provoked rather severe criticism in these times when every one wants something to blame for the prevailing depression. I have heard one person go so far as to attribute the whole mischief to them, and there are many who think they have had a good deal to do with the discredit into which Ceylon has lately fallen. It will not be difficult to show, that they could not possibly have done any harm to the credit of the coffee enterprise, prior to the decline in the value of their shares ... |

Sir Albert Spicer In fulfilling the promise to address you this evening on the subject of Australia, I cannot forget that my first visit to that country in 1887 was made in companionship with one of Birmingham's great citizens, -- and, I venture to add, one of England's great men, -- the late Dr. R. W. Dale, with whom to travel was in itself an education. Since then, at the beginning of this century, the six states of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia (including the Northern Territory), Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania have been united into the Commonwealth of Australia; and, though I shall refer to some special features in connection with the various states, I intend to speak mainly of the Commonwealth as a whole. That Commonwealth has a total area of 2,974,581 square miles: a country greater in extent than the United States of America, equal to four-fifths of the total area of Canada, comprising more than one quarter of the whole British Empire, and equal to nearly three-quarters of the whole area of Europe. The physical features of Australia are remarkable in several respects. In no other country in the world does the coast-line bear so small a proportion to the area of the continent -- a proportion of one mile of coast to every 333 square miles of area. Again, Australia is unique in possessing neither mountainsabove the level of perpetual snow, nor active volcanoes; and further, she has no rivers (with one great exception) conn... |

Excerpt: CHAPTER III LORD MAXWELL Behind the Armstrongs stood one of the ablest and most unscrupulous lords in Scotland, namely, Lord Maxwell, by whom they were secretly encouraged to fight. He was a born conspirator, and at this time the crafty warden of the Scottish western marches. A treaty of peace had been signed between Maxwell and Lord Cumberland, by which the conquest of the debateable land was left entirely to the discretion of the English, and would no longer be opposed by the forces of the Scottish Wardenry. This treaty was merely a trick to encourage Dacre to cross the Border, where he would find himself entangled in a well-devised ambush and cut to pieces by the Armstrongs and their allies, of whose strength Dacre seems to have been surprisingly ignorant. Believing that the Scottish warden's neutrality was secured under the treaty, and the way open for a great attack upon the Armstrongs, Dacre advanced into Canonbie with his finely equipped army of 2000 men. Along with him were Sir John Radcliffe, Sir Christopher Dacre, and William Musgrave, all commanders of note, against whose military skill and great powers the untrained mosstrooper would be likely to contend in vain. Their plan of invasion was cunningly devised to throw the Armstrongs off their guard, and to fall upon them where least expected, the objective being the strongh... |

$14.9 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: Enslavement ano Emancipation of tbe people. General Discussion. In the midst of agitations of a commercial and social and political nature, affecting the interests and destiny of a whole nation, Daniel Webster, than whom America never had a wiser or more astute statesman, was asked what was the greatest idea that he ever entertained. The great statesman canvassed the deep and subterranean questions of philosophy and metaphysics, of politics and letters, of finance and science, for a few moments,and then, with dignity and gravity, replied: The greatest idea that 1 ever entertained was the thought of my individual responsibility to my God. Gladstone, England's greatest representative, declared this to be the one only and greatest question of the day. Bismarck, the Iron Duke of Germany, also classified this as the supreme question of the hour and of the nations of the earth. After a thorough trial with philosophy and infidelity in all the departments of the French government, Lamertine, one of her wisest and best statesmen, said that France can not get along without God. These great world powers have come to their prestige and strength by recognizing God, and giving him a rightful place in their affairs, not merely out of instinct, or education or habit, but out of a consciousand intelligent belief that duty to God includes all duties to fellow-man. But nations and communities and individuals have fallen from the lofty pedestal of Divine recognition. No man or association of men can divorce politics or education or industry from morals and religion, for pure and undefiled religion must abound in all the various and multitudinous concerns of man, as truly as these have an evident and necessary dependence upon one another. The hard mathematical problems of life are ... |

Excerpt: In the next place, the informer observes upon the letters of the thirtieth of January, that they were not written till seven days after; that both Sir Thomas Livingstone and Colonel Hill had given their orders to Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton, and that the letter to Sir Thomas was a general reference, to wit, in these you can only be advised, but must be left to prosecute them as the state of affairs will allow; and after some extenuations offered as to the severe words the letter bare against the Glenco men, from the terms therein used, I hope, I think, I believe, which the the informer says were all words of advice, and not of command; he adds, since they exclude not the prudent management which the King reserved to Sir Thomas, they are not so peremptory as the words of the instructions, bearing, that if they could be separate from the rest, they should be extirpate. As to all which it is answered, primo, that it is a mistake that these letters of the thirtieth of January, were written after Colonel Hill's orders to Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton, for Hill's orders to Hamilton were not given upon the twenty-third of January, as the informer proposeth, but upon the twelfth day of February, the very day before the execution, as the order itself plainly bears. Secundo, that the Master of Stair's letters of the thirtieth of January, bears date seven days after Sir Thomas Livingstone's orders to Lieutenant Colonel H... |

Plato's Fable: On the Mortal Condition in Shadowy Times
$18.67 pThis book is an exploration of Plato's Republic that bypasses arcane scholarly debates. Plato's Fable provides refreshing insight into what, in Plato's view, is the central problem of life: the mortal propensity to adopt defective ways of answering the question of how to live well.pHow, in light of these tendencies, can humankind be saved? Joshua Mitchell discusses the question in unprecedented depth by examining one of the great books of Western civilization.pHe draws us beyond the ancients/moderns debate, and beyond the notion that Plato's Republic is best understood as shedding light on the promise of discursive democracy. Instead, Mitchell argues, the question that ought to preoccupy us today is neither reason nor discourse, but rather imitation. To what extent is man first and foremost an imitative being? This, Mitchell asserts, is the subtext of the great political and foreign policy debates of our times.pPlato's Fable is not simply a work of textual exegesis. It is an attempt to move debates within political theory beyond their current location. Mitchell recovers insights about the depth of the problem of mortal imitation from Plato's magnificent work, and seeks to explicate the meaning of Plato's central claim--that only philosophy can save us.pThis book represents a singularly original, provocative, and profound interpretation of Plato's Republic. Moreover, it poses a fundamental challenge to contemporary assumptions about the mutability of human nature. A tour de force.--Patrick Deneen, Georgetown UniversitypMitchell encourages us to read a very familiar text in a new light. His book is rare in that it neither places itself in a particular camp of scholarship, nor ignores the thinking of others. I know of no other book like this one.--Jean Bethke Elshtain, the University of ChicagoPlato's Fable is . . . a well researched and eloquently expressed work of scholarship, and as such would be a valuable tool for any student@2«…¸Qìÿ¾Úð |
