KZN pair face 7 murder charges
Comment on this storyDurban -
Two men were expected to appear in a KwaZulu-Natal court on Friday on seven murder charges, police said.
Mzokhona Mnyandu, 49, and Sifiso Mathonsi, 48, stand accused of shooting dead seven men in Pomeroy in northern KwaZulu-Natal in August, said Colonel Vincent Mdunge.
The two men were arrested on November 27 and appeared in the Nqutu Magistrate' Court two days later. Their case was postponed until Friday.
Those killed were affiliated to a community-based anti-stock theft organisation called Isikebhe in the Thaleni area in Msinga.
The men apprehended a stock theft suspect but were attacked by community members.
"The Isikebhe members fled on foot and were cornered and attacked by the community members. Seven Isikebhe members were shot dead and one or two injured during the attack," said Mdunge. - Sapa

HAVANA, CUBA - JANUARY 27: A government-operated construction materials yard in the working class Marianao District provides Cubans with sand and rock dust so they can mix their own concrete January 27, 2015 in Havana, Cuba. Construction materials are extremly limited, expensive and hard to find in Cuba, where the United States is hoping to increase the export of such materials after diplomatic ties between the two former Cold War enemies are re-established.

It's the age of "click and find." But there is no replacement for the human brain as a learning tool.
The Internet has revolutionised many aspects of our lives, changing them in ways which would have been impossible to imagine a few decades ago. Education, like all other fields, is not immune to the influence of the Internet. The Internet is a "disruptive" technology we are exposed to in our daily lives.
The question is: Is the influence of the Internet such as to make our system of education redundant? The answer, according to some people is a "big yes."
To quote the famous author and journalist Thomas L. Friedman, "Increasingly the world does not care what you know. Everything is on Google. The world only cares, and will only pay for, what you can do with what you know. And therefore it will not pay for a C+ in chemistry, just because your state college considers that a passing grade and was willing to give you a diploma that says so. We're moving to a more competency-based world."
Whither knowledge
"Everything is on Google." Such statements seem to devalue the knowledge stored in the human brain. Does the availability of information at the click of a button reduce the importance of a knowledgeable human being? After all, even in the pre-internet age, knowledge was widely available, though not in such a convenient form.
In the pre-Google era, encyclopaedias were repositories of knowledge on a wide range of topics. But it was never suggested that once knowledge is written down in books, it was useless to acquire that knowledge.
The present day pundits are missing an important point. It is not enough to have access to information. Information has to be assimilated and digested by a person before it can be put to use. It takes years of study before one can truly understand a subject. Merely because someone can access information at the click of a button does not make him an expert in that subject. One has to go through the hard grind of working out known or solved problems before one can tackle the unsolved ones.
New Connections
Even revolutionary changes in scientific theory turn out to be based on knowledge which was available at that time. For example, Albert Einstein discovered his famous Theory of Relativity when he tried (and failed) to reconcile Maxwell's equations of Electrodynamics with Galilean Relativity.
It is seen that in many cases, "new" knowledge is created by extending or making connections between the existing branches of knowledge. Such connections become obvious only after the student toils through the various lanes and by-lanes (and blind alleys) of science. There are no shortcuts to success in science.
Even if a student or a teacher merely knows the fundamentals of a subject as enunciated in standard textbooks and is not able to apply it in the sense of creating something useful to society, his knowledge is not useless. He may inspire many others to make path-breaking discoveries by his flawless and inspiring teaching of the subject. A teacher who is thorough with a subject would be able to advise students about the authenticity of the material which is available on the net.
Many faces of knowledge
While innovators, inventors and creators of new knowledge are important to society, we need not run down others. Finally, there are many fields and spheres of activity which should have become defunct with the advent of the Internet, but they are carrying on, today. Quiz shows are popular on TV and contestants win prize money in crores for information which is readily available at the click of a button.
We did not stop children from doing arithmetic by hand, even though electronic calculators were available decades ago. Why? Necessity is the mother of invention. The need to do tedious multiplications or division, forced people to invent schemes for calculating in an efficient manner, and this in turn, was used extensively in Number Theory.
Similarly, the need to store enormous amounts of information in our brain will ultimately lead us to analyse and synthesise that information. This in turn will enable us to find out similarities and connections between diverse facts and fields.
While computers and the Internet are definitely invaluable tools for our education, there is no replacement for the human brain.

'Anything Goes'
ALL ABOARD for this saucy and splendid production of Roundabout Theatre Company's ANYTHING GOES, winner of three 2011 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival and Choreography! One of the greatest musicals in theater history, Cole Porter's first-class musical comedy is sailing Las Vegas, while it continues a triumphant run on Broadway where The New York Times calls it "MUSICAL-COMEDY JOY" and USA Today hails it as "GLORIOUS and EXUBERANT!"
When the S.S. American heads out to sea, etiquette and convention get tossed out the portholes as two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love… proving that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, an exotic disguise and some good old-fashioned blackmail. Peppering this timeless classic are some of musical theater's most memorable standards, including "I Get a Kick Out of You," "You're the Top," and of course, "Anything Goes." Don't miss what the AP exclaims as, "So DELIGHTFUL, So DELICIOUS, So DE-LOVELY!"

Hello Everyone! I just began my at home bakery. I finally have my pricing down but wondering if my $3 charge is too low? What is everyone charging to deliver a cake locally- within 20 miles?
thank you!
I charge $25 delivery fee inside the city and a $50+ fee for outside of the city.
be sure to keep track of your gas, mileage and gas receipts, when you make deliveries, drive to get supplies, etc.
No his mind is not for rent, to any god or government...
That's a pretty good policy.
I charge $30-40 in the city and do close to the $1 a mile thing for long distances that will eat up a lot of time.
We do $10 within our county (about 20 miles is the farthest to the county line) for cupcakes and unstacked cakes. Most of what we deliver is cupcakes within our city. I even did a delivery where I could have walked with the cupcakes, it was that close. So we make money most of the time, and lose it some of the time so it balances out. For stacked cakes, we charge $30 since I have to drive slower and go different routes in some cakes since we have hills and even a mountain pass to get to some parts of the county.
For the love of science and baking

A Nevada man held in the machete slaying of a woman and the slashing of the woman's son and daughter intends to plead not guilty.
That's according to the lawyer representing 29-year-old Victor O. Cruz-Garcia.
Cruz-Garcia wasn't asked to enter a plea by a Las Vegas justice of the peace who set a preliminary hearing date for Jan. 8.
Deputy public defender Tim O'Brien declined outside court to say much more about Cruz-Garcia.
He's accused of hacking 46-year-old Beatrice Alvarez to death during an angry rage on Dec. 20, and slashing Alvarez's 27-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter.
The son, Sergio Casterjon, underwent surgery to reattach his right arm and a finger.
The daughter was treated for cuts to her head and face.

Dear all,
I've started a new initiative under the umbrella of LinuxMusicians,
namely publishing an editorial on Linux audio developments and Linux
audio related news. My goal is to publish an editorial at the beginning
of each month to cover what happened in the month before. The first
editorial covering the month July is finished and published:
http://linuxmusicians.autostatic.com/2010/08/05/editorial-august-2010I'd really appreciate any feedback, remarks etc. and any input for the
next edition is more than welcome. This time I mainly focused on the
releases of new versions of apps and new projects. From now on I want to
keep track of that so I can elaborate more on the news part.Best,

DENVER (AP) - The state Senate plans to work tomorrow on a bill that hopes to crackdown on prostitution by creating a statewide network of so-called "john schools." They would be scared-straight-type programs for men who solicit sex from adult prostitutes. Democratic Senate President Brandon Shaffer says he will also ask to increase fines for johns, which can be as low as $75, to $10,000.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I was very pleasently surprised with my overall experience! Once i submitted what I wanted, I went back a forth a bit on changes and formatting. The customer services responded in a very timly manner, adjusted per my changes quickly and allowed me multiple times to review the proof before actually submitting my order. I got these is the shimmer pearl, and they look fanstasic."
"I love the simplicity of these invitations, and the foil stamping really makes them feel "expensive." Our customer service agent was great to work with; she helped me customize the text and even offered suggestions on different ways to word my invitation and RSVP cards. I would highly recommend Wedding Paper Divas to everybody."
"Easy to personalize and add too if needed. Slightly pricey but worth it to know that it's going to be done right. Customer service is also very helpful if you need help or need to order extra :)"
"I am so very pleased with the outcome of my invitations! The paper quality is amazing, very sturdy, smooth, and feels much more expensive that it was! The printing is precise and clear, and the colors are identical to what you see on the screen. I am beyond thrilled with my invites and cannot wait to send them out!"
"These invites are beautiful! I customized mine quite a bit ( added a second location's address, omitted the parent's names and added a request for people to RSVP at our website). These invites are a great size so they can hold a lot of information. I also upgraded to the pearl finish and it is so lovely! I think it gives the invites a very polished look. The side ticket cut outs are also totally worth the slight extra cost. All in all I loved the final product. Thank you so much!"

Well, it looks like you all ate well! I think there's more pictures of food than plants there. ;-) I recognize Kerry and one or two others, but most are unfamiliar faces to this Yank. Any other GW regulars there? |

Hi Allan, Paul and Karen, Thanks for posting all of the the pic's. Wow! what a sales area, couldn't I just blow the budget there. Everyone seems to be having a good time and as Lisa says, there's plenty of food so I guess nobody went hungry. It's good to be able to put a face to your name Shane. Tough luck Kerry missed out on the wine tour, because judging by the mischievious sparkle in her eyes I reckon she'd be a real hoot with a few reds under her belt (just joking Kerry). All the best, Nev. |

This recipe came from the chicken enchilada recipe I submitted earlier. I didn't need to make that many chicken enchiladas, so I made this up to make a slightly different meal. I used the remaining sauce from the chicken enchilada recipe, then added the remaining chicken and added the chicken broth.

We are finally ready to get started on our kitchen remodel but can't seem to choose between two contractors. Both have excellent references, professional, licensed and insured, no complaints with the local consumers affairs office in the last 7 yrs. The job is a small galley kitchen but it is complicated as it involves removing some loadbearing walls and replacing with flush headers. They are both similar in pricing with Contractor 1 being about 1000$ more but that doesn't bother us too much as we are spending lots more$$ than that! Contractor 1 is a smaller firm, has been in business for 30 yrs, only does word of the mouth jobs, lives nearby, has done jobs in the neighborhood. He spent over 2 hrs on his initial visit going over every single detail.FWIW, he said he does only one job at a time and didn't think our project would be more than a month from start. He was proactive and came up with a design with his recommended KD so he could give us a fair quote. He has promised us to get a discount on the cabinets-though we won't know actual nos till we sign, it looks like it will be a 8-10% discount on top of the discounted price at that store. My reservations with him are I am not sure how well he will handle the structural part of work. He also was quite sure he couldn't save the hardwood floors under the tile and I didn't particularly like his KD recommendation. Contractor 2 is a much larger firm that builds houses on a regular basis and did extensive structural work on a friend's house. So I know he can handle the structural part of the project. He is much more tech savvy but as a younger guy has been in business only for the last 15 yrs or so. He is not local to us but does do jobs this far out. He does beautiful work but we probably won't be able to use his sources for many things. We will have to source our own cabinets, fixtures etc which we don't have a problem with. But obviously, we won't get a discount through him for cabinets etc. He didn't think saving our hardwoods would be a problem and I got the impression he will be more willing to listen to our ideas. My reservation with this guy is he straight out told us this will be a small project for him that he will fit in with his other jobs. He also thinks it will take 6 weeks for our job. We will also incur additional architect expenses with this guy as the architect we hired is not responding to us anymore. But that is a whole another story. Sorry, this is so long! If you made it this far, do you think one is better than the other? We had such a nightmarish time with our last project with a different guy who took 7 months for a 2 month project that it has made us more than a little terrified at making a bad choice again. Thank you in advance for any opinions you have to share. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If it were me, personally I would go with the local guy. Having to source all your own materials as well as being fit in with other jobs is more of a negative, IMHO, than not being able to save hardwood floors. Is it possible to go with a different KD with this guy? Is a KD absolutely necessary to you? (I only ask because I never used one for my project so I don't know what all the fuss is about) |
#1-if he is right about floor you won't be surprised, if he saves it be happy. Use a different KD or tell them what you want. After 30 years a simple load bearing wall should not be a big deal, really. With either get plan stamped for structural changes. 2 cents. |
- Posted by robotropolis (My Page) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 7:00
I went with the equivalent of no. 1 and was very happy. Loved not being squeezed in between jobs. Of course it ended up taking 9 weeks, not the 6 he estimated. |
I would go with #1, the main being the one job at a time thing. Our contractor worked that way, and it became clear pretty quickly how valuable it is to have someone dedicated to your project. |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 9:42
I agree with the others. Bigger isn't always better. Here is one thing, though, about your post that gives me pause ... "I got the impression he would be more willing to listen to our ideas." Impressions can be wrong. If this is important to you, it should be discussed with both contractors so there is no misunderstanding. If you got the impression that the one contractor wouldn't listen to your ideas, what gave you that impression? It could be that your idea just won't work (ie. saving the floors?). |
- Posted by Trebruchet (email@example.com) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 10:22
I'm not impressed that neither of these guys was able to close a sale. Each obviously has all the skills they need but one. |
- Posted by sjhockeyfan (My Page) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 11:51
Being at the tail end of the 5-week project that has now gone on for 7 months, I would definitely choose the one who will dedicate himself to your project only, all other things being equal. |
- Posted by vinudev_liny (My Page) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 12:18
Thank you so much for all your opinions. We are leaning towards Contractor #1 too. Trebruchet, we are probably to 'blame' for that as we have been taking our time to weigh all our options. once bitten twice shy.. jellytoast, It might be a minor thing but we have this one area where we would like to fit in our fridge and use the left over space for a really tiny broom(6") closet. Contractor 1 and his KD were like 'that is not going to work'. Contractor 2 was open to that idea. Maybe it is just a communication issue and I will check with Contractor 1 again as to why he thinks it won't work. sas95 and robotropolis, that is what I am looking for too-a professional dedicated to the job. He is doing a project at my friend's house currently and she has good things to say about him. jakuvall, appreciate your opinion. I am still evaluating which cabinet company to use but if we go through his KD, I will have to be more on the ball. One of Contractor 1's referrals did say he took down walls for them but was not sure what kind of beam he put in place. When you mean stamped structural plans, do you mean from an architect? We had an independent architect draw up initial plans for us but we are not able to get him to clarify something for us now that he has our money already! I am not sure if it is just our area or our knack for picking tradespeople is lousy! Texasgem, I agree local is best especially down the road if a problem arises. I have spent countless hours here and have a rough plan drawn up with the help of folks on this forum. But I would be more comfortable with a KD making sure the details like trim, fillers end panels are done right. Thank you all. I hope and pray this is one decision I won't regret! |
- Posted by sjhockeyfan (My Page) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 12:23
use the left over space for a really tiny broom(6") closet Well, although it probably could work technically-speaking, if the space is 6", the actual opening would only be about 4-1/2" at most. Maybe they're just saying it's a waste of dollars? I have a 6" lower cabinet with 4-1/2" of useable space. Could I fit a broom in there if it were taller - yes. Would I want to - no. It's really a PITA cabinet - we are debating using it for the pull-out towel rack (its next to the sink) or just using it for some tall flat items like cutting boards. |
Another vote for #1. I think either will be fine, but local and one project at a time is pretty much a deal sealer. What made you think he wouldn't listen to your ideas? Or listen as well? Not having to source your own materials is a bonus imo. |
- Posted by ILoveCookie (My Page) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 12:37
One more vote for the local contractor (#1). ``Use the left over space for a really tiny broom(6") closet.`` We also have about 6" left over space, between a fridge and a wall. When I brought up the idea of doing a narrow pullout, our KD said it's really not worth the money -- it would cost a couple grand, if I remember correctly. She suggest that if we really want to do it, we should expand it to at least 12" wide to make our money worth. We decide to just do a fake panel. |
As far as the broom closet is concerned, check the link I put at the bottom. Totally doable. |

Tre, you've made this "closing the sale" comment before and I really just don't get it. I think you are wrongly assuming that consumers need or want to be "sold" something. Many people, myself included, want time to compare options, give things some thought, get other bids, etc. If a contractor tries to push me into a commitment before I'm ready, that is one sure way to get me to look elsewhere. Actually, I am impressed with the Homeowner that they have the presence of mind to think things through thoroughly before making a commitment. And I don't see any shortcomings with either contractor because they allowed the homeowner the time and space necessary to make their own decision. Vinudev, contractor 2 may have been "open" to the idea of a broom closet, but he did he actually say he could do it? If it is that important to you, you should find out for sure if he can make it work. |

jellytoast: "Closing a sale" has nothing to do with high pressure sales tactics. I am a terrific closer and I will give you $10,000.00 for each of my customers that will swear out an affidavit saying they felt pressure from me. Customers don't feel pressure if you're doing it right. Closing is a skill like any other such as learning to polish an edge or finish drywall. It is providing the information in the right way to get a commitment from buyers. It saves them time, money, and aggravation as perfectly exemplified here. Contractors unable to close do themselves, and especially their customers, no favors. |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 15:29
With all due respect, Tre, I completely disagree. COMPLETELY. Closing the deal is the least important skill I want my contractor to have. Sure, comparing bids can be aggravating, but it is certainly not a waste of time or money. You know why con artists are so successful? Because they are skilled at closing the deal. That skill has ZIP to do with construction. |

jellytoast: In my countertop selling days, I showed up at an empty-nester couple's home. I do my dog and pony show and she's in love but he's not buying. She tells me that she's been waiting 40 years for these countertops. You know what I did? Shutup. Yep. More listening and less talking. She's gonna close the deal for me, all I gotta do is be patient. I don't even need to address his concerns, because by closing this deal I am addressing his concerns. As a man married over 35 years, I know what this guy wants and needs and it ain't countertops, it's a happy wife. I got the sale, she got her tops, and he got his happy wife. Win, win, win. |

"Shutup. Yep. More listening and less talking." If this is the skilled way to close a sale, I'm all for it! Present your dog and pony show and then let the customer decide. |
- Posted by Trebruchet (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 15:56
jellytoast: You notice how you take a skill like any other needed to be successful in this business and equate it with con artists? How would you feel if a skill required in your field was associated with cheating? It is an unfair stereotype and I resent it. |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 16:07
LOL. You're kidding, right? |
Agree with jellytoast. Not a consideration or characteristic I'd be looking for. Quite the opposite. Last thing I want to deal with is manipulative sales & marketing tactics. Total turnoff. Trust and deal breaker. |
I can see your dilemma. I'd probably go with #1 too. Just make sure a structural engineer (or architect?) specs the wall changes and have it inspectyed to make sure they followed through correctly with the construction. Better luck this time around! |
#1 sounds like a guy I work with a lot. Would give my vote for #1. |
" When you mean stamped structural plans, do you mean from an architect? We had an independent architect draw up initial plans for us but we are not able to get him to clarify something for us now that he has our money already! " If the plans from the architect specify the beam -size and type, should indicate where the load is carried down to footings or rest over existing bearing wall or foundation- and his letter head or stamp is on it then fine. If in doubt and you can't get the architect to play nice I'd hire an engineer just to spec the beam- future protection for $2-500. Sometimes contactors have a relationship with an architect or engineer who is willing to simply stamp plans for a small fee so long as they are well drawn. I do it all the time. As to the 6" broom-I've looked into this recently- I'll try to solve anything.... tre- the national average closing rate in kitchens is 33%. |

- Posted by Trebruchet (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 20:01
jellytoast: There is no accusation, there is the written record here. Read it for yourself. I explained the value of closing to contractor and client alike. I explained how it is not high pressure if it is done correctly. I explained how this is a skill like any other to be learned and perfected. You compared me to a con artist. Funny stuff. |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 20:45
Nonsense. If you want to take my comment and apply it negatively to yourself, that's on you. |
I've been in sales for about 20 years and I always resent it when people say that sales people manipulate because I believe a good salesperson gives the buyer enough information to make an informed decision. I think what Trebuchet means when he says they aren't closing, is that they aren't addressing the concerns of the buyer enough for them to make a decision. Tre gives the "dog & pony show" i.e. informs them of the choices and then let's them make a decision based upon the information he gave them. Jakuvall, you say you're not a salesman nor a "closer" but your definition of what you do actually fits my definition of a good salesperson: address the concerns of the consumer and give them enough information to make an educated decision. In a nutshell, you have enough education and belief in your skillset to instill a confidence in the buyer that you're the person for the job. That's why you have a better than average closing ratio: you're authentic. I'm very proud to be a salesperson and a closer. |

When I had my shop in Northwestern Ohio, I had a very reputable CKD as a regular customer. She hired a guy I'd worked with for design/sales in her beautiful showroom. I hadn't see "Bob" in a while so I asked "Nancy" what happened to him. "He couldn't close." she replied. They had to part ways. Nothing personal, but after you've spoken to so many people, did so many designs, and "let them think about it" you've got to come up with a deal eventually. This is business life or death. |
If you are really unsure, get a third opinion - to help point you in the right direction. In medicine, I try to do this whenever patients are having difficulty choosing a specialist or complex treatment protocol. Many times they end up going with the 3rd referral; perhaps, because they finally know all the right questions to ask. |

The main focus here should be the illegality of hacking into personal conversation and confidential materials pertaining to an ongoing trial of utmost importance in the history of Bangladesh, which Economist is ignoring. The perpetrators of such hacking must be identified and brought to justice.
As mentioned in the court order the ICT judges are fully within their rights in seeking research assistance from anyone they see fit. Anyone who knows the political/security atmosphere in Bangladesh will understand why someone may seek anonymity, while helping the ICT, for the sake of their own safety and security, which can be severely jeopardized by these leaks. It is important to realize that these Judges are the keepers of many secrets, such as witness protection programs. So, by conducting these illegal hacking or protecting such sources/perpetrators Economist will threaten the safety and security of many individuals.

I would love to hear from anyone who has a gas dryer. This is the first time we have purchased one and I would like to know what your thoughts are and if you are happy with it. Are there any issues with your venting the dryer? Lint problems, drying issues? We have a gas furnace, and don't have any fumes. Do you have any slight fumes from the gas dryer? |

Have always had a gas dryer. Cheaper than electric. I don't know what you mean by 'fumes'. Any gas smell, no matter how slight, is a leak, is dangerous and would have to be repaired. |
Ive used Gas dryers since the late 1970s and love them. My wife wouldnt want anything else. As long as they are installed correctly and maintained per manufacturers recommendation, you will get many years of great economical performance. If you use propane you will probably notice some combustion odors but natural gas is very clean burn on all the dryers Ive owned. |
- Posted by triedandtrue (My Page) on Tue, May 6, 14 at 10:16
Have only had gas dryers since our first in 1987. Definitely cheaper to run and have not had a problem. Our first was a cheaper whirlpool that lasted nearly 26 years with a couple of minor repairs. Drum rollers were replaced I believe. Have a SQ gas dryer now and so far has been a blessing to use. Seems to be better built than the WP,more solid feeling, just hope it will last as long. |

It was the only hotel available between Altus and Lawton. The scenery outside of town is beautiful. It did have wireless and a nearly new big screen tv. The bed was comfortable and clean, and everything worked.
The parking lost was tight and would not fit an SUV or a large truck easily. The front desk lady seemed like she was busy caring for a child in the back room and did not want to be disturbed with questions. The shower water smelled like dead fish.
There were no bed bugs and the heat worked.

Where The Phantom Menace failed, Knights Of The Old Republic succeeds brilliantly. This is a Star Wars prequel done right - with nary a Gungan in sight.
KOTOR takes place 4,000 years before the movies, during the Old Republic's 10,000 year reign. All the familiar technology, however, had already been invented - hyperdrive, droids, blasters and lightsabers - making you wonder what they've been doing for the past four millennia.
You awake on a Republic starship in the middle of an attack, with no memory of your past. There's a war on between the Republic and a Sith empire commanded by a Dark Jedi named Darth Malak. The race to stop Malak takes you to ten worlds, including Tatooine, Dantooine, and the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk. Along the way, you'll unlock the secrets of your past, including latent Jedi abilities.
