"THE HEAVENS ARE TELLING THE GLORY OF GOD; AND THE FIRMAMENT PROCLAIMS HIS HANDIWORK."-Psalm 19:1

Few of us can venture outside on a clear, dark night and not pause for a silent, reflective look at the stars. For countless centuries people have felt a sense of wonder about the heavens. How did our universe come into being? Has it always been here? Is our existence due to random chance or supernatural design? Is God "out there"? If so, what is He like?

Traditionally, the church has answered such questions with Scripture, while science has contributed theories and formulas of its own. Torn between a deep respect for church doctrines and an intellectual need for answers that support what their senses are telling them, many Christians have avoided such discussions altogether.

Actually, the two sides are no longer that far apart. In The Creator and the Cosmos, astrophysicist Dr. Hugh Ross explains how recent scientific measurements of the universe have clearly pointed to the existence of God. Whether you're looking for scientific support for your faith or new reasons to believe, The Creator and the Cosmos will enable you to see the Creator for yourself.

"A compelling summary of scientific evidence that supports belief in God and the Word of God, written on a level even the non-technically trained lay person can understand."-Walter L. Bradley, professor and head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University

"In The Creator and the Cosmos, Dr. Hugh Ross shows how recent cosmological discoveries clearly indicate the universe was created with many characteristics fine-tuned for our life. Though many scientists may resist the logical conclusion, the Creator implied by the scientific evidence is exactly consistent with the God revealed in the Bible."-Dr. Kyle M. Cudworth, Yerkes Observatory, University of Chicago

"The Creator and the Cosmos constitutes a remarkable journey through the most recent scientific findings, providing overwhelming support for design in our universe. Dr. Ross has documented the evidence for design in our universe in such a thorough yet readable style that it will prove to be of great value both to the science student as well as to the interested layperson."-Dr. David H. Rogstad, physicist, Caltech Jet Propulsion Laboratory TABLE OF CONTENTS: Chapter 1: The Awe-Inspiring Night Sky Chapter 2: My Skeptical Inquiry Chapter 3: The Discovery of the Century Chapter 4: The Matter Mystery Chapter 5: The Beautiful Fit Chapter 6: Einstein's Challenge Chapter 7: Closing Loopholes-Round One Chapter 8: Closing Loopholes-Round Two Chapter 9: Science Discovers Time Before Time Chapter 10: A God Outside of Time, But Knowable Chapter 11: A Brief Look at A Brief History of Time Chapter 12: A Modern-Day Goliath Chapter 13: The Divine Watchmaker Chapter 14: A "Just Right" Universe Chapter 15: Earth-The Place for Life Chapter 16: Building Life Chapter 17: Extra-Dimensional Power Chapter 18: The Point

The Definitive Guide to Windows API Programming, Fully Updated for Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Vista

Windows System Programming, Fourth Edition, now contains extensive new coverage of 64-bit programming, parallelism, multicore systems, and many other crucial topics. Johnson Hart’s robust code examples have been updated and streamlined throughout. They have been debugged and tested in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, on single and multiprocessor systems, and under Windows 7, Vista, Server 2008, and Windows XP. To clarify program operation, sample programs are now illustrated with dozens of screenshots.

Hart systematically covers Windows externals at the API level, presenting practical coverage of all the services Windows programmers need, and emphasizing how Windows functions actually behave and interact in real-world applications. Hart begins with features used in single-process applications and gradually progresses to more sophisticated functions and multithreaded environments. Topics covered include file systems, memory management, exceptions, processes, threads, synchronization, interprocess communication, Windows services, and security.

New coverage in this edition includes

Leveraging parallelism and maximizing performance in multicore systemsPromoting source code portability and application interoperability across Windows, Linux, and UNIXUsing 64-bit address spaces and ensuring 64-bit/32-bit portabilityImproving performance and scalability using threads, thread pools, and completion portsTechniques to improve program reliability and performance in all systemsWindows performance-enhancing API features available starting with Windows Vista, such as slim reader/writer locks and condition variables

A companion Web site, jmhartsoftware.com, contains all sample code, Visual Studio projects, additional examples, errata, reader comments, and Windows commentary and discussion.

Popular Lies About Graphic Design is a slim book that hurls lumps of coal at dozens of the clichés that plague graphic designers each day. Some of the pills dispensed by the New York-based designer Craig Ward are of the bitter variety... But Ward tackles more serious notions--such as the ideas that "longer deadlines lead to better work" and "good ideas don't require budgets"--with the same intensity as seemingly frivolous subjects, like "Comic Sans is the worst typeface ever created."

PRINT Magazine, USA

In Popular Lies About Graphic Design Ward has great fun slipping into the role of our industry's Enfant terrible, juxtaposing his masterfully eye-popping and starkly exquisite typographic skills with contrarian prose that debunks both myths and lies that at one moment step on your toes and the next makes you burst into a deep guttural laugh in the face of our industry's most tired belief systems. inhowse.howdesign.com/featured/popular-lies-about-graphic-design/

"...highly recommended is Craig Ward's POPULAR LIES ABOUT GRAPHIC DESIGN (9788415391357, $16.95), which comes from an award-winning designer who identifies and refutes popular lies in the field of graphic design. Ten years of industry experience lend to discussions of everything from the validity of design education to client relationships and the changing world of graphic design as a whole. Students and working graphic designers alike will find it informative and revealing, challenging popular assumptions in the industry." --The Bookwatch, Midwest Book Review

"Graphic design is steeped in rules both good and bad. In this brilliant book, Craig Ward discusses how and why these popular myths came to be. The lies range from "Comic Sans is the worst typeface ever created" to "Apple has the best graphic design," and the "truths" are biting, hilarious, and deeply satisfying." --Gizmodo's Best Books of 2013

This is not a book full of facts, nor is it a book full of advice. It's a book full of opinions, and confusion between those three is how a lot of these problems begin...

I have just received a complimentary copy of Nita Leland's new book

"The New Creative Artist" and have had my nose in this book now for days. I

think that Nita has put it all in one book. She hasn't held back a thing -

its all there in black and white. No matter what your level of expertise is

or whether you are a beginner or more advanced, its all there. I would

recommend this book to anyone who is open to new ideas on creativity.

Nita goes from her Introduction which catches you right away with new

deas - I love the titles of each chapter - you just want to read it! Her

chapter on "Drawing, Don't Leave Home Without It" is one of my favorites.

Since I teach drawing to children, I have gained some new insights into the

process - written so simply. Nita's chapter on the elements and principles

of design is a must read for every Artist. I have often said "I don't

understand abstract art!" Well after you read her chapter 6. ABSTRACTION:

OFF THE BEATEN PATH, you will understand as I did this form of art....As you

can see this is a book that I have truly enjoyed. and I say to Nita

Leland - well done and thank you for not holding back. It's one of the best

I have read on those subjects....Joan

Hello, Gorgeous: Becoming Barbra Streisand (Hardcover) newly tagged "design"

Posted by Unknown Posted on 23.28 with No comments

AppId is over the quota
The best-selling biographer of Katharine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor tells the electrifying story of how Barbra Streisand transformed herself into the greatest star of her era, etching “an indelible portrait of the artist as a young woman” (Publishers Weekly).

In 1960, she was a seventeen-year-old Brooklyn kid with plenty of talent but no connections and certainly no money; her mother brought her soup to make sure she stayed fed as she took acting classes and scraped out a living. Just four years later, Barbra Streisand was the top-selling female recording artist in America and the star of one of Broadway’s biggest hits. Now the acclaimed Hollywood biographer William Mann chronicles that dizzying ascent, telling the riveting behind-the-scenes story of how Streisand and her team transformed her from an unknown dreamer into a worldwide superstar.

Drawing on the private papers of Jerome Robbins and Bob Fosse, and interviewing scores of the friends and lovers who knew Barbara before she became Barbra, Mann recreates the vanished world of 1960s New York City and uncovers the truth behind the myths of her formative years. He shows us how Funny Girl was slowly altered, by Fosse and Robbins among others, from a Fanny Brice bio into a star-making vehicle for Streisand; takes us into the clubs and onto the set for her early nightclub and television appearances, including her torch-handing turn with Judy Garland; and introduces the canny marketing team whose strategies made her stardom seem inevitable. The Streisand who emerges is a revelation: a young woman who, for all her tough-skinned ambition, was surprisingly vulnerable in love.

Everyone who has felt outside the gate, as she once did, remembers a time when the newness and difference of Barbra Streisand changed everything and rewrote all the rules. In Hello, Gorgeous, Mann incisively illuminates the woman before she became the icon and pays tribute to one of the world’s most beloved performers.

Geometrical Design Coloring Book (Dover Design Coloring Books) (Paperback) newly tagged "design"

Posted by Unknown Posted on 23.28 with No comments

AppId is over the quota
This book doesn't offer many design variations & is too simplistic for my tastes. While a few were great optical illusion type (and therefore almost worth the price), there are less than 5 complex designs, the rest are exact repeats with slightly different sized elements, angles, or another simple element added. Boring for those who want a challenge & dislike repeating same theme/concept/design. For no-brainer type meditations where you don't want to focus too much on demands of the design, it would be good, as well as for beginners or those intimidated with too many choices. Of course, some will say there aren't many options for variety because of the geometric theme's limits--but the same could be said for mandala adult coloring books, yet there are an unlimited number of designs & levels of challenge in all the mandala books, that is not found in any of the geometric ones, so far.

The designs were decent quality paper & lines, not best nor worst. See my other mandala/coloring book reviews for more details on the best choices from the 8 sampled (bought & still use). I especially recommend "Power Mandalas" (BEST of all offerings here), but NOT "Classic Mandalas" (low quality design, simple & boring).

HINT: Photocopy, scan & print, or trace each page-design onto good quality craft, watercolor and/or acid-free paper, because you WILL want to frame ALL of your completed work/designs in "Power Mandalas" and still be able to go back & re-do certain ones repeatedly :-) This same hint applies to all of the adult coloring books.
Have fun!

Presentation Patterns: Techniques for Crafting Better Presentations (Paperback) newly tagged "design"

Posted by Unknown Posted on 23.28 with No comments
AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Presentation Patterns is the first book on presentations that categorizes and organizes the building blocks (or patterns) that you’ll need to communicate effectively using presentation tools like Keynote and PowerPoint.

Patterns are like the lower-level steps found inside recipes; they are the techniques you must master to be considered a master chef or master presenter. You can use the patterns in this book to construct your own recipes for different contexts, such as business meetings, technical demonstrations, scientific expositions, and keynotes, just to name a few.

Although there are no such things as antirecipes, this book shows you lots of antipatterns—things you should avoid doing in presentations. Modern presentation tools often encourage ineffective presentation techniques, but this book shows you how to avoid them.

Each pattern is introduced with a memorable name, a definition, and a brief explanation of motivation. Readers learn where the pattern applies, the consequences of applying it, and how to apply it. The authors also identify critical antipatterns: clichés, fallacies, and design mistakes that cause presentations to disappoint. These problems are easy to avoid—once you know how.

Presentation Patterns will help you

Plan what you’ll say, who you’ll say it to, how long you’ll talk, and where you’ll presentPerfectly calibrate your presentation to your audienceUse the storyteller’s “narrative arc” to full advantageStrengthen your credibility—and avoid mistakes that hurt itHone your message before you ever touch presentation softwareIncorporate visuals that support your message instead of hindering itCreate highly effective “infodecks” that work when you’re not able to deliver a talk in personConstruct slides that really communicate and avoid “Ant Fonts,” “Floodmarks,” “Alienating Artifacts,” and other errorsMaster 13 powerful techniques for delivering your presentation with power, authority, and clarity 

Whether you use this book as a handy reference or read it from start to finish, it will be a revelation: an entirely new language for systematically planning, creating, and delivering more powerful presentations. You’ll quickly find it indispensable—no matter what you’re presenting, who your audiences are, or what message you’re driving home.
