Knew of him primarily from the KB Civil War series.
It was from a DVD. I'm not going to fool with it more tonight. I'll work on it more tomorrow. Thanks.
Saw that one earlier.
Well, I had tried doing screencaps back in LoTR days from Windows media files.... and I never got it to work. Penny used a media editing tool to get all hers...
But I found these instructions you might try.
Screencaps
Making screencaps of videos on your computer using Windows Media Player is very easy. I wouldn’t recommend using this method for anything more than 1 or 2. It can get tiring after awhile.
Open up Windows Media Player, but do not open the video just yet. You will need to change some options in your WMP first.
Go to Tools > Options > Performance.
Move the video acceleration bar from “full” (which is default) to none.
Once you’ve done that, you can use your screen capture program to make caps.
If you don’t have one, just press the Prt Scrn button on your keyboard (most often found beside the F12 button at the top of your board) and then paste it into any graphics program. If you want to get multiple shots of a particular scene, then I suggest pausing the video, taking the shot and repeating until you are satisfied.
Thanks. I'll try that tomorrow.
Maybe my problem was playing it through Windows Media?
Thanks for the help.
Oddy enough, I didn't know about Shelby Foote until I saw him on the Civil War Series. I don't remember hearing about him in high school or college. I recognized that accent though, cause SSQ is from the Delta too, though his accent is long gone. His Mama had it, though.
I'm up way too late. I've been over on the "Rebel Yell" thread and looking up family resourcs.
The rebel yell originated with the boys from my home county. No relatives that I can identify though.
g'nite folks.
Sorry bout the extraneous ping, saw it there first.
Then the post of Sullivan Ballou's letter. Gets me everytime.
g'nite
Whoops... looks like I'm late to the party again... [sigh]
'Twas a full and long day of dog and pony show. Yeesh... nine or ten hours of straight software sales pitch. I'd almost rather go to the dentist. Learned some things, but about five minutes worth. The rest was all just trying not to look like I was falling asleep.
[sip]
Just hearing "Ashokan Farewell", the music that was played behind the reading of the letter gets me fahklempt! Rosie and her siblings played that one on their CD!
Gooood morning!
Mmmmmmm....Rebel Yell.....
Good Morning!
The org can be a bit shrill and at times seem a bit kooky, but the underlying principles are very sound - that:
1) "primitive" peoples around the world sought out and consumed nutrient-rich foods.
2) Peoples who followed these traditional diets were intelligent, sturdy, healthy, and did not suffer from western degenerative diseases - such as heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, allergies, poorly formed dental structures, etc.
3) Peoples who left the traditional foodways developed western diseases - within a generation of doing so.
All of these points are *VERY* contrary to the widely-held social-darwinist myth that western civilizations are the healthiest by virtue of our superior intelligence and use of technology - ie perscription drugs. Indeed, we (especially here on FR it seems) assume that tribal peoples are stupid, irrational, and die at age 30 in childbirth because they don't have access to Wonder Bread and Prozac.
Dr. Price started out with a similar midset, only worse. He was a eugenecist - something that was very fashionable in the 1930s and you have to read his text with that in mind. Fortunately he was a well trained scientist and was honest about his findings - especially since his findings proved him wrong about primitive peoples being backwards.
He gets a lot of criticism because he was a dentist - and what can a dentist possibly know about nutrition? Well, in the 1930s *nobody* knew much about nutrition. Vitamins were just being discovered and isolated and studied. He observed over the course of his practice a marked deterioration in the health of his patients and wondered if it was at all related to nutrition or lack thereof.
So to test his thesis, he traveled around the world studying healthy peoples. He found them. He studied their foods. He took pictures. He also studied groups that had started eating the foods of the industrial age and found they had the same pattern of disease he found in his white American patients.
So, in short: Old-fashioned, whole foods are good for you. The Weston A Price organization promotes many of the foods you already use - raw milk (& kefir!!), butter and beef from grass-fed cows, eggs from chickens that get sunlight and bugs, sea salt, cod liver oil, minimally processed grains and legumes, etc.
Spread the word for me...Graybeard58 should be called Graybeard60 as of today, but he probably wont change his name. Just his way of thwarting old age.
Happy birthday Pop!!!
I made it to 60. Who woulda thunk it?
