My uncle and grandpa have both since passed away and they we the only family members there that day so any additional accounts of this picture are lost. Grandpa was a manager of some sort at the Kodak plant where the Zapruder film was taken, but he obviously wasn’t in that day and isn’t mentioned in any of the history though a lot of his workers and coworkers were directly involved and named.

I have a book about the Zapruder film free to a good home. It’s written by his granddaughter and is a great close up account of the film and family. Interesting read on an important Dallas artifact. I want someone to enjoy it rather than have it sit on a shelf and age.

Update: book is spoken for, hope y’all enjoy

Ofcourse you could make it yourself, depending on how aged you want it it can be ready from anywhere between 1 month to a few years. Here is a good link: http://www.bardicbrews.net/. Also wholefood and Central Market have a few varieties. BTW meads are excellent, a superb book on the origines of mead and other indigenous fermentations: Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers

hey Tilly.

here's my recommendation, unless you've suffered serious trama, most spine and neck injuries are muscle related. (including whiplash) and your best treatment is physical therapy. (having seen it in action, and made a video for a doctor at a conference of doctors...)

There's two great (small) books on the subject Treat your own Neck and Treat your own back they both have treatments for both injuries, and prevention.

here's another testimonial, (one of the comments in there is by a friend that I gave copies to)

I’ve been meaning to get it, looks like a great guide to the architecture there

I actually got this book, Ghosts of North Texas not too long ago, I recommend checking it out! He has stories from all over the metroplex, and goes further than just repeating the legend--he tries to find historical backup as well (and often there is none, haha). It's a cool read though, and fun to check out the places that are nearby!

Oh, I see. I have to be more specific for you. Read this god damn book. Also, I'd like to point out that the only one making bloviated assumptions in this particular thread is you. Just to make it a little more equal, though, I'm going to assume you're really into a certain Home Improvement child actor.

Drop everything right now. Buy this book.

http://www.amazon.com/Dads-Own-Cookbook-Everything-Mother/dp/0894807668

What are you still doing here? It's like $5 shipped. Buy it. Seriously. Get the "old blue one" not the new yellow one.

-------------

Ok, now that you've bought it.

  1. it tells you what tools you need in your kitchen (pan, forks, knives, potholders, etc)

  2. it tells you WTF things are, not simply recipes.

  3. Go here, check page #111 (Fish Primer) http://books.google.com/books?id=VyIMjdG4yR8C&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_atb#v=onepage&q&f=false

  4. It has the same thing for potatoes, meat, vegetables, spices, wine, cheese, etc. (check page 124/125 if you can access it).

    It tells you how to cook things, not how to season them. ie: Cook XXX for 20 minutes steamed. Then it'll give you a basic recipe. I constantly refer to this book.

    Finally, it gives you some "whole package" sections, ie: How to Throw a Dinner Party for 12 People. And gives you simple recipes. And tells you what to make the night before. And what to make the morning of. And when to pull certain things out of the refrigerator. Or How to Make Breakfast in Bed for That Special Someone(tm).

    Seriously. Great book. Buy it. Read it. Do it. If you make it far enough, p.m. me some time and I'll see if I can't make some time to visit / check up on you and give you some pointers.

If anyone wants to read about the black soldiers of WWII, and the issues which came associated with their skin color, then I highly recommend the following Brothers in Arms book. It tells the story of the 761 Tank battalion through their battles at The Great Bulge, as well as other skirmishes.

Just looked into it. I found [THIS] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/review/0385410956/R2T32NAH2ZJIGQ?ie=UTF8) really helpful review through it that breaks down all the other good guides.

Honestly, apply for everything. Shoot for those two and help desk. You can sort of get in the door with call center work, but let's call that a last ditch effort.


For learning about the field, Network Warrior is pretty much the bible of generalized network "stuff". It's fairly vendor independent and covers a lot of things that are off the beaten path (load balancers and such).

Cisco's CCENT book and the above one will supplement each other well.

I can't really speak to the server side these days. I've been over in Networking for a while...

>If you know how to torrent, (or, y'know, want to spend insane amount of money to buy), I'd also recommend Pimsleur audio lessons.

They don't seem to be that expensive. See here, here and here. Also it looks like the Dallas Public Library has them available to check out.

u/robbysalz · 0 pointsr/Dallas

And actually, NO, I'm going to completely approve this.

Dallas needs more density and less parking surface lots. Areas with balanced density are areas with focused economic/business/life activity.

Read a book, bro

  • High Cost of Free Parking by Donald Shoup

  • Walkable City by Jeff Speck

    You haven't answered the question of whether or not the DHA has addressed your issues. What's your motive for wanting to deny requests? What other issues are you envisioning? How can they be addressed?

You might like this book: http://www.amazon.com/Fields-Blood-Religion-History-Violence/dp/0307957047 From the synopsis: While many historians have looked at violence in connection with particular religious manifestations (jihad in Islam or Christianity’s Crusades), Armstrong looks at each faith—not only Christianity and Islam, but also Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Daoism, and Judaism—in its totality over time. As she describes, each arose in an agrarian society with plenty powerful landowners brutalizing peasants while also warring among themselves over land, then the only real source of wealth. In this world, religion was not the discrete and personal matter it would become for us but rather something that permeated all aspects of society. And so it was that agrarian aggression, and the warrior ethos it begot, became bound up with observances of the sacred.

In each tradition, however, a counterbalance to the warrior code also developed. Around sages, prophets, and mystics there grew up communities protesting the injustice and bloodshed endemic to agrarian society, the violence to which religion had become heir. And so by the time the great confessional faiths came of age, all understood themselves as ultimately devoted to peace, equality, and reconciliation, whatever the acts of violence perpetrated in their name.

Industrialization and modernity have ushered in an epoch of spectacular and unexampled violence, although, as Armstrong explains, relatively little of it can be ascribed directly to religion. Nevertheless, she shows us how and in what measure religions, in their relative maturity, came to absorb modern belligerence—and what hope there might be for peace among believers of different creeds in our time.

Have you read any of the state's declarations of secession? Here's excerpts from Georgia's:

Opening lines: "The people of Georgia having dissolved their political connection with the Government of the United States of America, present to their confederates and the world the causes which have led to the separation. For the last ten years we have had numerous and serious causes of complaint against our non-slave-holding confederate States with reference to the subject of African slavery."

It literally cites the growth of a political party committed to abolition of slavery as the main reason to break away from the Union: "The party of Lincoln, called the Republican party, under its present name and organization, is of recent origin. It is admitted to be an anti-slavery party. While it attracts to itself by its creed the scattered advocates of exploded political heresies, of condemned theories in political economy, the advocates of commercial restrictions, of protection, of special privileges, of waste and corruption in the administration of Government, anti-slavery is its mission and its purpose. By anti-slavery it is made a power in the state. The question of slavery was the great difficulty in the way of the formation of the Constitution. While the subordination and the political and social inequality of the African race was fully conceded by all, it was plainly apparent that slavery would soon disappear from what are now the non-slave-holding States of the original thirteen. The opposition to slavery was then, as now, general in those States and the Constitution was made with direct reference to that fact. But a distinct abolition party was not formed in the United States for more than half a century after the Government went into operation."

The big problem, according to Georgia, is that the North has become increasingly anti-slavery. They also cite the argument (a straw man, given how racist most everyone was in 1861) that abolitionists favor racial equality in addition to abolition. "The prohibition of slavery in the Territories, hostility to it everywhere, the equality of the black and white races, disregard of all constitutional guarantees it its favor, were boldly proclaimed by its leaders and applauded by its followers.

With these principles on their banners and these utterances on their lips the majority of the people of the North demand that we shall receive them as our rulers.

The prohibition of slavery in the Territories is the cardinal principle of this organization."

"Slave" or "slavery" appear 35 times in the document. "Right" appears only 7. "Nullification" appears 0. I'd be interested to hear any historians' opinions you can offer on the Nullification Crisis, which occurred in Andrew Jackson's presidency, was the main cause for a war 30 years later. I studied history in undergrad and took a Civil War history course. Almost every historian we read, especially anyone writing after 1930, cited slavery as the primary cause for the war. I would recommend anyone curious about what individual soldiers felt to check out Manning's What This Cruel War Was Over, which combs through hundreds of primary source letters, memoirs, etc. from soldiers and officers from both sides.
