Photoshop 7 Down and Dirty Tricks
New Riders Press; 1st edition | ISBN: 0735712379 | 304 pages | May 3, 2002 | PDF | 61 Mb
Scott Kelby is both funny and generous. His wry sense of humor doesn't get in the way of the hundreds of nifty techniques in this new collection of Down & Dirty Tricks. In fact, when you first flip quickly through the book, gobbling up all the creative ideas and timesaving tips, his sly jokes only add to the I've-just-hit-the-lottery feeling.
Whatever you're looking for--type that looks distressed, made of gel, or carved in stone; shadows in perspective or in motion; text that wraps around a globe; a glinting starburst on the edge of an object; a logo artificially placed at the bottom of a pool; or a starry sky created in an instant--just about every trick is here. And most are done in 10 steps or less. Also, each page has a Quick Tip sidebar (there're over 200 of them) that are worth the price of the book alone, with everything from getting better results from your eyedropper tool (click on Options and change the Point Sample to "3 by 3 average") to the quickest way to change units of measurement (the secret is in the Info palette).
The book has been updated since the previous edition with mostly new illustrations, many new and better ways to perform the same tricks, and a few completely new ones. Project files and images can be downloaded from the book's companion Web site at downanddirtytricks.com. Although aimed at experienced Photoshop users, the text is detailed enough for readers of all levels. For example, steps like "make a copy of that layer by dragging it to the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers palette" or "press the letter m to switch to the Rectangular Marquee tool" are repeated in full whenever a trick calls for them. This not only helps beginners, it allows all readers to hop around the book and be able to carry out any trick in any order. Yet another reason this book could've been titled Speedy Down & Dirty Tricks.

Ultimate Steroids | 3.8Mb
The Ultimate Steroids is, as the original Steroids was, an Asteroids-clone. Basically, you jump to the cockpit of a space ship, and burst through the space shooting space rocks, asteroids. You collect some power up-bonuses and slowly increase your firepower. You will encounter some hazards during your mission such as evil aliens and strange black holes. The game features OpenGL accelerated 3d graphics, sound and music, up to 10 weapon grades and up to 22 levels. Balanced gameplay with beautiful rendered backgrounds and colorful 3d graphics. There is also a support for two players, either in a co-operation or in a competition. In addition, the competition mode allows you to set various game play settings. The Ultimate Steroids includes a mod player, and a directory called Music. There is few mods shipped with the game (see the credits), but the main idea is that you can use your own mods (put them to the Music folder) to be played in the game. There is room for 128 mods, and they must be MOD, S3M or XM.

Hristo Deshev “Pro Windows PowerShell (Pro)"
Apress | 2008 | ISBN:1590599403 | 493 pages | PDF | 8 Mb
Windows power users have always envied their friends running UNIX machines for the ease of automation that they enjoy. The traditional Windows command–line shell, cmd.exe, has never been up to par with shells like bash or tcsh, especially when it comes to text processing and process automation.
Windows PowerShell changes all that. This next–generation shell is also a full–blown scripting environment with a real programming language that allows users to access every part of their operating system. Files, registry entries, and COM and .NET objects are all supported by PowerShell, which makes manipulating them a breeze.
Pro Windows PowerShell will show you how to use all this power in your own work. You’ll discover the object–oriented features of the shell and how they help in extracting and manipulating data. You’ll then learn how to use those features to solve real–world problems: manipulating files, working with text, monitoring systems, and performing operations over the network. The book serves as not only a tutorial, but also a reference: the “Real World” part is structured so that it can be read nonlinearly and used as a reference or a cookbook. And you’ll find freely available tools and extensions that will help you do things even faster.
Pro Windows PowerShell is your best companion to the capabilities and power that PowerShell offers you.
What you’ll learn
See how to solve real problems with Windows PowerShell using a repository of working code.
Get a sense of “the big picture,” with PowerShell integrating with the outside world. You will discover examples and techniques when dealing with other programs, the operating system, and the network.
Explore free and open–source tools and extensions that help you get results with Windows PowerShell fast. (No other book has this feature!)
Who is this book for?
Pro Windows PowerShell is targeted at professionals who handle a lot of repetitive tasks. The goal is to show how PowerShell can help script most of those tasks and reduce their burden. The book contains examples on automating typical system administration tasks: configuration, monitoring, network queries, text manipulation, and file operations. The ideas presented will be beneficial to power users needing a better shell and an automation environment, system and network administrators looking to streamline their daily activities, and software developers wishing to optimize their build and deploy process.

Jonathan Rockway “Catalyst"
Packt Publishing | 2007 | ISBN:1847190952 | 200 pages | PDF | 2 Mb
Written for web developers with basic Perl skills, this book guides new users through the open-source Perl-based Model-View-Controller Catalyst framework using real-world examples and systematic code snippets, covering application design, development, testing, and deployment. If you are excited by Ruby on Rails but prefer the familiarity of Perl, get this book and get started. The way that many web applications are implemented makes development painful and repetitive. Catalyst solves this problem, organizing your web application to design and implement it in a natural, maintainable, and testable way. Its philosophies are Do It Yourself and Don't Repeat Yourself. Everything is written only once; database access and configuration are centralized; you just write actions for each URL in your application and Catalyst handles the details. Catalyst is designed to be reliable; the code is well tested; there are hundreds of production applications, thousands of users, and a thriving community.

Valarie A. Washington "Thinking through Problem Solving"
ISBN: Not Available | PDF | 23 Pages | 1.1 MB
Change hits hard, fast, and often. It shifts our focus, changes our direction and alters our plans. Change leaves us stumped by the questions we are not prepared to answer and searching for questions that we never thought to ask. Left on the road, between what we were once sure of and the indecision of which way to go; a problem waits to be solved.
Hearing the word problem, we automatically think of some catastrophic event requiring kick-off meetings, project teams and an all-out hunt for the illustrious root cause. Usually however, problems are much more subtle than that. They move in quietly, riding the coattails of change or they drag change along, bringing it to our doorsteps. Problems both follow and precede change. Most problems don't need a grand introduction. All we need to do is to look for them, wait for them and prepare for them. There are always there, just beneath the surface. And before they ever took a life of their own, even those problems with the deepest roots started simply enough as an unanswered question.
What issues currently have your organization tied up in knots? What was the last problem that you attempted to solve? What was the last problem that you ignored?
This manifisto is intended to dispel the myth that problems need official-sounding names and formally outfitted team leaders wearing colored belts. Problems are not only exposed through formal processes but are revealed in a moment of curiosity. Just around the corner of expectation and intersection of “why; why not; and if not me, who?” is a chance for every employee to positively influence the course of events.

Principles and Technical Aspects of PCR Amplification
Publisher: Springer | English | ISBN:1402062400 | 339 pages | 2008 | PDF | 7.5 Mb
Description: Kary Mullis was awarded a Nobel Prize for inventing the PCR technique more than 15 years ago in 1993. Since its "discovery", multiple adaptations and variations of the standard PCR technique have been described, with many of these adaptations and variations currently being used in clinical, diagnostic and academic laboratories across the world. Further, these techniques are being applied at the diagnostic level (e.g. as high throughput testing methodologies to detect minimum residual disease, the presence/absence of specific pathogens etc), as well as to increase our understanding of fundamental disease processes. Frequently, PCR technicians and specialists limit their understanding of PCR to one particular methodology. However, this approach limits their appreciation of the range of versatile PCR techniques currently available, techniques that may be applicable and indeed more suitable to their own laboratory situation. This manual aims to provide the reader with a guide to the standard PCR technique and its many available modifications, with particular emphasis on the role of PCR techniques in the diagnostic laboratory (the central theme of this manual). Further, many important technical issues have been addressed, including types of PCR template material, PCR optimization, the analysis of PCR products, quality control and quality assurance, variants and adaptations of the standard PCR protocol, quantitative PCR and in situ PCR. The reader of this manual will be excellently informed about the fundamental principles of PCR and the true potential of PCR within clinical laboratory practice.
