Hey Lexington redditors! With the help of a friend/photographer, I created a book highlighting local coffee shops around town. While this is clearly a shameless plug for the book, I’m also here to answer any questions you have about local coffee, making/selling a book, or even CASA (the nonprofit I am donating a portion of the proceeds to).
The book will be available in local coffee shops this week, and is on Amazon now (though it's cheaper to buy in stores and I'd honestly prefer people buy it locally).
Edit: Thank you all for the support! If you’re interested in purchasing a copy, it’s currently available at Third Street Stuff & Coffee. It’ll be at Lussi Brown, Broomwagon, and Coffee Times by this weekend, with more places to follow. Thanks again!
Educate yourself:
War Photographer
Film in which James Nachtwey photographs a number of different conflicts. People from his life talk about how he is a broken (but brilliant) man. He quietly accepts praise and talks stilitingly about the things he has seen.
Bang bang club
Book about Kevin Carter, Joao Silva etc. Kevin Carter killed himself after a battle against depression over thing he'd seen. Joao Silva lost a leg a few months ago. They largely fund their own trips.
Shutterbabe
Book by a female war photographer in which she gets raped twice and stabbed once.
I'm not sure where you've got this idea that conflict photography is a glorified paid holiday.
bingo.
my gay Jewish mother (read- mentor guy) has this on her coffee table.
Fail, pic is from a book about istanbul, Turkey
While not a memoir or anything like that, "American Hair Metal" is pretty cool, and it has the band NITRO on the cover. It's got a lot of fun blurbs about the LA scene and various bands, and a lot of great photos. I don't have it on hand, but I think the first page has a huge picture of an aquanet hair spray bottle.

Are all of these pictures just stolen from the Stoner's Coffee Table book?

🎉 Congrats on your 50th gift!! 🎉
On my dream list there is a book called The NASA Archives: 60 Years in Space that I would love to be able to give my boyfriend.
Currently, him and I are long distance and he’s getting ready to start school to become an aerospace engineer. Before him and I were together he was content in the job he had and didn’t really think his dreams were possible and somehow us meeting changed that. Just how me meeting him changed my whole life as well.
He’s the first person that’s just understood me and accepted me without me having to explain or apologize. He inspires me everyday to be better and is always there to make me laugh or remind me he loves me. He’s thoughtful and generous and the sweetest person I’ve ever know (don’t tell him I said that though, it’d ruin his image)
He’s absolutely enamored with space and I am always looking for new things to give him to keep his dreams alive and to inspire him to keep going and I feel like this book will help in that goal. He deserves the universe and so much more for the happiness and love he’s brought into my life, but this is the least I can do. 💜
Thank you for reading, for your positivity and kindness, and for contests like these that show how loving people still are. That, in itself, is a gift.
I nominate u/tamaralads as someone that deserves a thoughtful gift (because I have a feeling you won’t let me nominate you) because no matter what she’s always there with a kind word and an offer of friendship. She rarely thinks of herself and in my conversations with her is always looking for things she can do for others without ever asking or expecting anything in return. That kindness and selflessness makes her deserving in my book. 💜
Once they knew the typical characteristics of a nuclear explosion, it was not any real difficulty to calibrate the cameras to the predicted yields, and to have a few "extras" set for unusual circumstances.
In the case of the first nuclear test, though, where they really were unsure what the yield would be and were not experienced in the "art" of taking such pictures, they had to guess and "wing it" a bit. This is one of the reasons that many of the photos of the first bomb actually have holes burned through the emulsion by the intensity of the light.
They had over 50 cameras of many different types pointed in the direction of ground zero, with the hope that some of them would capture it in a useful fashion. One of my favorite atomic-bomb quotes comes from Berlyn Brixner, who was in charge of photographing the Trinity test, and was manning a movie camera when it went off:
> "I was so amazed ... that I just let the camera sit there. Then suddenly I realized that the ball of fire was going out of the field of view … for the first 20 seconds on the standard-speed camera it’s just sitting stationary, then suddenly you will see the field of view jump as the ball of fire is going out of the top of the frame."
You can see what he's talking about here.
There is actually an entire book on the history of photographing nuclear weapons in the United States: _How to Photograph an Atomic Bomb_.
Here it is on Amazon.

There's a beautiful book, Cats in the Sun, full of pictures like this. Great picture.
>A large number of refugees from Israel (the Northern Kingdom) fled south into Judea after the Assyrian conquest, where they integrated into Judean society
Exactly. Hence why they would be considered as being a part of Judah.
"lost Tribes" are not untouched in Judaism either. Especially since in very recent years we "found" the Ethiopian Jews who are unconfirmed but accepted to be from the Tribe of Dan. (it's actually very interesting because Dan was known to be the last tribe that walked with the camp and they would retrieve all of the things that the other tribes dropped and return them. It's fitting then that they would be the ones returned.) Ethiopian Jews have a tradition that is pre-destruction of the temple (for example they did not have the holiday of Hanukah or Purim. And people they are recorded to ask Israelis if they'd seen the Temple)
>Their disappearance goes basically unmentioned in rabbinic literature until the early middle ages, about 1,500 years after their supposed annihilation.
So you have two separate things here. First you wrote that the Ten Tribes (really nine because the Tribe of Levi would be included in Judah and Benjamin surviving) integrated into Judah before the Babylonian exile and then you said they were supposedly destroyed but it wasn't ever mentioned. I think the simplest answer would be both. First of all there were Jews who left Israel before it was ravaged by Assyria. Second most of the Jews who went into exile from Persia did not return. (In Prophets and the talmud it is discussed how bad it was that only about 40,000 came back) Lastly it is likely that it wouldn't come up in the Talmud or rabbinic literature for 1,500 years since it wouldn't be relevant for discussing practice. Now that the supposed return of one of the Tribes has come up it has been written about slightly more.
See a book called Scattered Among the Nations by Bryan Schwartz it's not exactly a law book but it's very interesting and deals with this issue of lost tribes

This is how I roll
Got a chance to Google a bit.
It sounds like LL Cool J released an album using the term G.O.A.T in 2000. But as it relates to sports and competition, it looks like it originated with a book about Muhammad Ali that was released in 2004.
If you like this style, check out the book Fantasy Worlds. It's bizarre and inspirational!
I have it ("Vivian Maier: Street Photographer") and unfortunately the print quality is poor. It's such a pity because it's stunning work.
Edit:
according to a comment on Amazon the German edition doesn't have this problem.Actually the first review of the German edition complains of the same issue.This is vegetarian and does the no-onion and no-garlic thing, but it's quite big and covers a lot of material - a good starting point. It really teaches a lot about the what and the whys of Indian food. It was written by the (American) personal cook of the Hare Krishna founder, she followed him around all over India when he travelled there, learning recipes from his hosts.
