While working on web sites or teaching web development in the classroom I have found that more and more people are looking to enhance the website without have to learn a lot of fancy programming. JavaScript and DHTML are 2 of the ways people I work with are looking for the improvements.

This particular book, which covers over 700 pages, is the perfect addition to the web design library. According to the book the level is intermediate to advanced, but I found that the way the author presents information almost every level would find a benefit to this guide.

With hundreds of examples to use and learn from, the book goes beyond the typical JavaScript book, giving the reader an excellent reference manual to work with. While there are no step by step instructions because the manual is written for a higher level, the novice can still work with what comes with the book.

I found a number of ways to better the web pages I work on, also I found that working with both FrontPage and DreamWeaver this book makes coding much easier. If you looking for ways to improve what you do now this might be the best buy for the money.

A world-dominating plot sabotaged by the unlikeliest group. As the story unfolds you will cry, shout and be pressed against your seat with each turn of the plot. Well-written; this book is easy to read in one sitting. Tighten your seatbelt because turbulence is forecasted for this flight.

This book brought back many memories. From my Bar Mitzvah at Tikvas Israel Congregation to congregating on the corner of 42nd & Leidy Ave with the guys. Can't forget the hot summer nights riding the Woodside trolley to cool off or the trips to Crystal Pool, or the #15 trolley to go to Overbrook High. Then there's the Park Manor's Knockbockles (try explaining them to people!)or the meals at Grossman's, and so many more flashbacks.
All these memories come flashing back while looking at the photos of this book.
Thank you Mr. Meyers for this trip down memory lane.

Oswald's Closest Friend: The George De Mohrenschildt Story

In the last couple of years under the JFK Assassination Records Review Board Act our government has spent millions of dollars into the research of the assassination of our 35th President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. As a former Federal employee, on several occasions I have offered all of my research under the Whistleblowing Act to the Clinton administration without receiving replies. President Clinton's former Chief of Staff, Leon Panetta, in the past (1992), had supported this author's research as a former Congressman for the County of Santa Cruz. This author believes that it was certainly unethical and boardering upon fraud when President George Bush signed into law The JFK Assassination Records Review Board Act and did not disclose that he knew George de Mohrenschildt since 1942. In order to understand the conflict of interest George Bush played in the JFK assassination investigation in 1963 and in 1976, one needs to look at his entire career with the CIA and Zapata Oil industry.

TRACKING THE JFK ASSASSINATION

Santa Monica College Corsair - November 17,1997, by Donna Lynn

As the 34th anniversary of John Fitzgerald Kennedy's assassination approaches, Bruce Campbell Adamson, a self-taught genealogist, historian, author and Santa Monica College graduate says that he is close to solving "the crime of the century." When his father died in 1980, Adamson applied for a job at the Santa Monica Post Office. He says he "wanted to work outdoors" because it seemed to be a "healthy" job with few problems. "It took me five years to get hired," he says "And I retired in five years." Adamson ended up filing a federal lawsuit against the Post Office in a worker's compensation claim. He was the case in 1991 and has used the money to research the JFK assassination. "I started researching it (JFK) because I was tired of the subject, said Adamson. When I began my research Oliver Stone's movie, JFK, had just been released and I was sick and tired of all of the theories generated by the tabloid news agencies." This motivated him to write and publish The JFK Assassination Timeline Chart, and eight volumes (now ten) of Oswald's Closest Friend; The George de Mohrenschildt Story. Each bit of information led to another, and Adamson soon discovered that some of his own family members were coincidentally associated with persons connected to George de Mohrenschildt in one way or another. In the past 14 years, Adamson's research has taken him through the government and the Central Intelligence Agency...In a trail that leads from oil fields to Wall Street to the sales of helicopters used in the Vietnam War, Adamson claims that he exposes evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone. Everything that we are today exists today because of the past, he said "If historians don't get the story right, then our lives today are based upon lies." He also link's "alleged lone assassin" Oswald to de Mohrenschildt, an aristocrat who had ties to the rich and famous. Adamson asserts that these elites may have benefited financially from JFK's death. The wealthy "were also retaliating for their political as well as other motives," said Adamson. "Wealthy individuals having prior knowledge of the plans to kill JFK could sell short on the New York Stock Exchange and buy their company back for half the price after the assassination," Adamson aid. On the day of the assassination, the stock market lost 11 billion in paper." Adamson's main theory focuses on a U.S. oil depletion allowance, which grants oilmen a 27.5 percent tax break when reinvesting in their other corporation. Adamson says that Texas oilmen plotted the assassination of JFK to gain more power, and that the Warren Commission found Oswald guilty without a fair trial. He places de Mohrenschildt with a group of friends -- one of whose grandfather's chartered the oil depletion allowance in the 1920s."... De Mohrenschildt died on March 29, 1977, of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Adamson, however, says de Mohrenschildt could have been murdered, since the CIA was on his back about his knowledge of the assassination. Adamson asserts that de Mohrenschildt, prior to his death, told a close friend that a number of oilmen, FBI and CIA agents were behind the JFK assassination. "De Mohrenschildt had complained to his friend, CIA Director George Bush in September of 1976 about being harassed," Adamson wrote. "Shortly thereafter, Bush contacted the FBI Director and it was not long after that de Mohrenschildt would find himself in Parkland Hospital receiving nine shock treatments." Were the shock treatments CIA-sponsored, Adamson asks? While Bush was CIA Director, more than 200 Top Secret documents came up missing, including the letters between de Mohrenschildt and Bush, says Adamson. Like Oswald, de Mohrenschildt went to his grave insisting that Oswald was "just a patsy," and that Oswald was not the assassin, according to Adamson. "That's a dying declaration," Adamson insists. "When someone makes a statement on their deathbed, they're likely telling the truth." Is finding the truth about JFK's murder Bruce Campbell Adamson's destiny? Is Adamson possessed by the genetics of his own distinguished American heritage, driving him to correct an error made in history? Is he driven by Hustler magazine's bounty of $1 million to whoever determines the murderer? "Circumstantial evidence does not lie," says Adamson. "And people should not be afraid to focus and speak of these associations in our society, which allows free speech, nor should they fear retaliation for alienating the rich and famous." "Adamson's fascinating bloodline hasn't gone to his head. He maintains that he's just "a simple guy. I'm nothing special," he says, but "here I am trying to solve the 'crime of the century,'" for which "there is no statute of limitations on murder."

Wow, everyone sure seems to love ol' Jimmy Carter right about now! Kinda makes you wonder why we ever voted the grinnin' Ghandi out of office. Well, no, not really. Not if you're unlucky enough to still be cursed with memories of what it was actually like when Jimmy Carter was President. Anyway, for those of us still suffering malaise-inspired nightmares, Gary Allen's acidic (and, unlike Carter's writing, short-and-to-the-point) 1976 "biography" is a wonderful antidote. Inside, you will find the details of Carter's life before he was a virgin. Allen writes with a venemous wit and there's something delightfully cathartic in reading his sarcastic take on our 39th President, especially with all the recent talk of Carter being our greatest ex-President. (Though this is perhaps true if you consider Carter's greatest act within the White House was to eventually leave it...)

This book is a must for all libraries, a comprehensive record of everything John Huston directed, wrote and thought about cinema. Indespensible for all Huston fans.

We received book as a gift for our 7 year old son. He was able to read it during Mass. It answered many of his questions about the Stations of the Cross.

I was shocked to find the truth revealed in this book by this author that was written over 100 years ago. He will open the Scriptures in a way that will absolutely blow your socks off for those truly seeking Truth. J H Allen understood the lost tribes of Israel, their identity and the concept of Two-House straight from the Word. Now we have archeology proof in great books from Steven Collins. Check it out... if you dare.

I bought this book as part of my research for my master's thesis on Midwestern progressivism. I expected the usual rather dull factual account. Instead I was pleasantly surprised by the comprehensive research, highly readable prose, and the profundity of the interpretation. Moreover, I learned far more about the realities of politics and society during the progressive period than I have from far more celebrated works. This is good history, and like all good history it focuses upon the past and not the personal saws of the writer. A bit pricey, I have never regretted the purchase. If you are looking for dynamic history at its best, check this out!

I would not use this book as a kabbalah primer. But, it is a must have for those who want to study kabbalah beyond the "basic" level. IMHO the chapter on the "Tzadik's Mind" is worth the price of the book. There are also MANY end notes after each chapter.
