I Believe: A Fulfillment of Promises

By: Lance Edwin Compton

A self-described hillbilly from western Oklahoma, Lance Compton is one of God's unlikely servants whose life illustrates that Jesus Christ did not cease to transform the wayward into His ambassadors on the Damascus Road. After a devastating diagnosis with cancer in the seventh grade, Lance was miraculously and spontaneously healed by God's gracious hand. This event gave him an unquenchable desire for a deeper knowledge and fuller understanding of his Creator, and he immediately embarked upon an unorthodox journey toward that end. Lance's peregrination of faith has brought him into fellowship and friendship with some of the country's most influential people, allowed him to see the halls of power, reserved a seat for him at the table of one of the world's largest Christian ministries, anointed him a zealous caretaker of society's discards, asked him to prevent a heinous murder, shown him the extent to which God's grace abounds, bestowed upon him the grandest of purposes, and led him to the greatest treasure of all-intimate knowledge of the Truth. You will want to walk alongside Lance as he recounts his journey upon the narrow way and learns from station to station how secure is that foundation upon which the structure of a full life stands, how careful is the Potter whose hands labor diligently to bring forth perfection, how priceless is the mosaic that reflects the light of its Maker, and how beautiful are the feet that abide in the dust for good news' sake. Come and see.

Spiritual Growth Through Travels, Nature, And Living Life

There are many roads to realizing oneaEUR(tm)s inner-self

By: Lance T. Crawford

A lifelong traveler, riding on a train from Long Beach to New Orleans, Louisiana, at age one--in the middle of World War II, to a 520-mile pilgrimage trek on the Camino de Santiago in his mid-seventies--the author describes many ways he has grown internally as a result of his travels and bonding with nature. A few travel highlights include a five-month tour of Western Europe in the early 1970s, many road trips through the United States and Mexico, walking across Northern Spain on the two longest Caminos (one thousand miles total) and walking from Porto, Portugal, to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. In addition are two memorable group pilgrimages: one in Italy; and the other to the three countries of Portugal, Spain, and France. 2

The Baby Boomers First-Hand, First-Year Guide to Retirement

365 Days of Bliss(???!!!)Or Diss (Not???!!!)

By: Duane Lance Filer

Ever wonder what really happens that first year after you retire? I'm talking about the day-to-day emotions, feelings, projects, questions, anxieties... the ups and downs of this very important next step in one's life after some 25/30/35/40 years of formal work? Well, my "The Baby Boomers First-Hand/First-Year Guide to Retirement... 365 Days of Bliss (???!!!) or Diss (Not???!!!)" could provide some insight for those recently retired or contemplating retirement. This 365 day (from January 17, 2013 to January 17, 2014) daily journal allows the reader to follow along as I experience the chores, the life; the new budgeting, the wife the questions, the emotions; some answers and hopefully some solutions. "First-Hand" is an easy-to-read/fast page turner; a humorous collection of thoughts and stuff... it does not hit you over the head with heavy retirement questions regarding pensions or 401(k) requirements; or statistics such as inflation projections, investment facts, tax shelters, financial formulas, etc... My book is simply a personal essay of my first 365 days of retirement, featuring real names and real people. Included are personal pictures and anecdotes of my 2013 journey that sheds light on the everyday minutia of retired life. I self-published my first book "SQUARE SQUIRE & THE JOURNEY TO DREAMSTATE" in 2012. I have a completed children's short story collection "LongTALES for shortTAILS" currently being illustrated; and I have a young adult/short story collection "Word Food for Doods" ready for publishing. I am presently working on a novella about a jive/hipster dude cat called "Diddley Squatt.

Rainbow Warrior

My Life in Color

By: Gilbert Baker,Dustin Lance Black

In 1978, Harvey Milk asked Gilbert Baker to create a unifying symbol for the growing gay rights movement, and on June 25 of that year, Baker's Rainbow Flag debuted at San Francisco's Gay Freedom Day Parade. Baker had no idea his creation would become an international emblem of liberation, forever cementing his pivotal role in helping to define the modern LGBTQ movement. Rainbow Warrior is Baker's passionate personal chronicle, from a repressive childhood in 1950s Kansas to a harrowing stint in the US Army, and finally his arrival in San Francisco, where he bloomed as both a visual artist and social justice activist. His fascinating story weaves through the early years of the struggle for LGBTQ rights, when he worked closely with Milk, Cleve Jones, and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Baker continued his flag-making, street theater and activism through the Reagan years and the AIDS crisis. And in 1994, Baker spearheaded the effort to fabricate a mile-long Rainbow Flag—at the time, the world's longest—to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Stonewall uprising in New York City. Gilbert and parade organizers battled with Mayor Rudy Giuliani for the right to carry it up Fifth Avenue, past St. Patrick's Cathedral. Today, the Rainbow Flag has become a worldwide symbol of LGBTQ diversity and inclusiveness, and its colorful hues have illuminated landmarks from the White House to the Eiffel Tower to the Sydney Opera House. Gilbert Baker often called himself the "Gay Betsy Ross," and readers of his colorful, irreverent, and deeply personal memoir will find it difficult to disagree.

Hilary Putnam

By: Lance P. Hickey

This book offers an overview of Putnam's ideas, his key writings and his contributions to the various fields of philosophy. Thematically organized, the book begins with Putnam's work in the philosophy of language and shows how his theory of semantic externalism serves as a lynchpin for understanding his thought as a whole. Crucially, the author also examines the ways in which Putnam has shifted his position on some key philosophical issues and argues that there is in fact more unity to Putnam's thought than is widely believed. An entire chapter is devoted to Putnam's pragmatism and the possibilities this provides for revitalizing contemporary philosophy. This is the ideal companion to study of this hugely influential thinker.

House of Nutter

The Rebel Tailor of Savile Row

House of Nutter

The Rebel Tailor of Savile Row

By: Lance Richardson

The strange, illuminative true story of Tommy Nutter, the Savile Row tailor who changed the silhouette of men’s fashion—and his rock photographer brother, David, who captured it all on film. From an early age, there was something different about Tommy and David Nutter. Growing up in an austere apartment above a café catering to truck drivers, both boys seemed destined to lead rather humble lives in post-war London—Tommy as a civil servant, David as a darkroom technician. Yet the strength of their imagination (plus a little help from their friends) transformed them instead into unlikely protagonists of a swinging cultural revolution. In 1969, at the age of twenty-six, Tommy opened an unusual new boutique on the “golden mile” of bespoke tailoring, Savile Row. While shocking a haughty establishment resistant to change, “Nutters of Savile Row” became an immediate sensation among the young, rich, and beautiful, beguiling everyone from Bianca Jagger to the Beatles—who immortalized Tommy’s designs on the album cover of Abbey Road. Meanwhile, David’s innate talent with a camera vaulted him across the Atlantic to New York City, where he found himself in a parallel constellation of stars (Yoko Ono, Elton John) who enjoyed his dry wit almost as much as his photography. House of Nutter tells the stunning true story of two gay men who influenced some of the most iconic styles and pop images of the twentieth century. Drawing on interviews with more than seventy people—and taking advantage of unparalleled access to never-before-seen pictures, letters, sketches, and diaries—journalist Lance Richardson presents a dual portrait of brothers improvising their way through five decades of extraordinary events, their personal struggles playing out against vivid backdrops of the Blitz, an obscenity trial, the birth of disco, and the devastation of the AIDS crisis. A propulsive, deftly plotted narrative filled with surprising details and near-operatic twists, House of Nutter takes readers on a wild ride into the minds and times of two brilliant dreamers.

Chip Multiprocessor Architecture

Techniques to Improve Throughput and Latency

By: Kunle Olukotun,Lance Hammond,James Laudon

Chip multiprocessors - also called multi-core microprocessors or CMPs for short - are now the only way to build high-performance microprocessors, for a variety of reasons. Large uniprocessors are no longer scaling in performance, because it is only possible to extract a limited amount of parallelism from a typical instruction stream using conventional superscalar instruction issue techniques. In addition, one cannot simply ratchet up the clock speed on today's processors, or the power dissipation will become prohibitive in all but water-cooled systems. Compounding these problems is the simple fact that with the immense numbers of transistors available on today's microprocessor chips, it is too costly to design and debug ever-larger processors every year or two. CMPs avoid these problems by filling up a processor die with multiple, relatively simpler processor cores instead of just one huge core. The exact size of a CMP's cores can vary from very simple pipelines to moderately complex superscalar processors, but once a core has been selected the CMP's performance can easily scale across silicon process generations simply by stamping down more copies of the hard-to-design, high-speed processor core in each successive chip generation. In addition, parallel code execution, obtained by spreading multiple threads of execution across the various cores, can achieve significantly higher performance than would be possible using only a single core. While parallel threads are already common in many useful workloads, there are still important workloads that are hard to divide into parallel threads. The low inter-processor communication latency between the cores in a CMP helps make a much wider range of applications viable candidates for parallel execution than was possible with conventional, multi-chip multiprocessors; nevertheless, limited parallelism in key applications is the main factor limiting acceptance of CMPs in some types of systems. After a discussion of the basic pros and cons of CMPs when they are compared with conventional uniprocessors, this book examines how CMPs can best be designed to handle two radically different kinds of workloads that are likely to be used with a CMP: highly parallel, throughput-sensitive applications at one end of the spectrum, and less parallel, latency-sensitive applications at the other. Throughput-sensitive applications, such as server workloads that handle many independent transactions at once, require careful balancing of all parts of a CMP that can limit throughput, such as the individual cores, on-chip cache memory, and off-chip memory interfaces. Several studies and example systems, such as the Sun Niagara, that examine the necessary tradeoffs are presented here. In contrast, latency-sensitive applications - many desktop applications fall into this category - require a focus on reducing inter-core communication latency and applying techniques to help programmers divide their programs into multiple threads as easily as possible. This book discusses many techniques that can be used in CMPs to simplify parallel programming, with an emphasis on research directions proposed at Stanford University. To illustrate the advantages possible with a CMP using a couple of solid examples, extra focus is given to thread-level speculation (TLS), a way to automatically break up nominally sequential applications into parallel threads on a CMP, and transactional memory. This model can greatly simplify manual parallel programming by using hardware - instead of conventional software locks - to enforce atomic code execution of blocks of instructions, a technique that makes parallel coding much less error-prone.

The Beauty of Autumn is a wonderful and vivacious story that dares to explore these subjects: can an older woman compete and keep the heart and love of a younger man? Can a younger man maintain his love and commitment to an older woman? Michael Collins, the sure self, ambitious, young bachelor, has not met a woman he could not mesmerized by his charm and dapper Dan good looks. Women cant help but to greet, meet, and keep when they get to know him. Just when he thought he had this player thing down to a science, he meets the sure, independent, intelligent, and attractive Zoe Davis. Zoe Davis, as far as she was concerned, had given up on love. Shes been in love a few times and has come to the conclusion being in love was overrated. Their chemistry and personality clashes and crashes like two trains.

Power, Employment and Accumulation

Social Structures in Economic Theory and Policy

By: Jim Stanford,Lance Taylor,Brant Houston

This book provides an interesting and refreshing collection of economic research conducted in the broadly heterodox tradition. A variety of topical issues are addressed, including labor market inequalities, welfare reform, interest rate policies, international trade, and global financial instability. What unites these diverse essays is their common perspective that social institutions and structures "matter" to the performance of economies, and hence should receive more attention from economists. Conventional economic thought focuses unduly on the functioning of so-called "free-markets." The persistent influence of social structures, institutions and practices - and the unequal extent to which differing social constituencies are able to exert power through those structures - often receives short shrift in this traditional research. However, this volume makes a significant contribution by helping to reverse this trend. The chapters, all written by top economists from around North America, address a range of topical issues, utilizing a rich variety of methodological techniques from empirical investigations to game theory and opinion surveys. Furthermore, the book, which is dedicated to the memory of David M. Gordon, has as its unifying theme the incorporation of structural analysis into economic science - an important goal for academics and students alike.

The Cowtown Detective

By: Lance Jay

Until recently, Robert Kelley will tell you himself that he is a pretty good private detective. But you might find this proud Texan a little more humble these days thanks to his troublesome client Corbel Pendergrat and a case that has more frustrating twists and turns for the detective than a Texas tornado. In no time at all, Kelley finds himself investigating a death, embezzlement, kidnapping, missing person, and cattle rustling. Yes, I said cattle rustling. Thanks to long kept secrets by his client, he cannot involve the police. Throw into the mix meaty thuggish bodyguards, illegal border busters, a spoiled heir, a femme fatale and her husband, the criminal empire boss, and you have more than one man can handle alone. Lucky for our detective, he doesn't have to. In trying to solve all these crimes, Kelley enlists the help of his best friend, private detective and former Marine Corps buddy Jackson Cartwright. He also has the love and support from his very large Irish Catholic family. Finally, if Robert Kelley's current situation isn't confusing enough, he finds his heart suddenly entangled with the likes of the stunning Lydia Rico. This story of intrigue takes place smack-dab in the heart of the Lone Star State, in the Dallas""Fort Worth Metroplex. Those familiar with this little piece of heaven on earth will relate to the many local and even historic landmarks, places, and people. Those who are not get to take a voyage of discovery to Texas. For the ignorant among you who haven't figured it out after reading all of the above, that if you don't take the time out of your busy schedules to find out what happens to our Cowtown detective, then you're just simply missing out!

Four Years With The Iron Brigade

The Civil War Journal Of William Ray, Company F, Seventh Wisconsin Volunteers

By: Lance Herdegen,Sherry Murphy

The recently discovered journal of William Ray of the Seventh Wisconsin is the most important primary source ever of soldier life in one of the war's most famous fighting organizations. No other collection of letters or diaries comes close to it.Two days before his regiment left Wisconsin in 1861, the twenty-three-year-old blacksmith began, as he described it, "to keep account" of his life in what became the "Iron Brigade of the West." Ray's journal encompasses all aspects of the enlisted man's life-the battles, the hardships, the comradeship. And Ray saw most of the war from the front rank. He was wounded at Second Bull Run, again at Gettysburg, and yet a third time in the hell of the Wilderness. He penned something in his journal almost every day-occasionally just a few lines, at other times thousands of words. Ray's candid assessments of officers and strategy, his vivid descriptions of marches and the fighting, and his evocative tales of foraging and daily army life fill a large gap in the historical record and give an unforgettable soldier's-eye view of the Civil War.

We Brought Something

A Re-Awakening of Human Consciousness to Divine Gifts

By: LANCE SPEARMAN

In all honesty, I am obliged to accept that it may be a misnomer for me to claim authorship of this book. Rather, may be I should just settle for the title of a Compiler. This is because I was only challenged to share the contents and lessons of most of the resource materials which had actually had far-reaching effects on me and subsequently imparted me with renewed understanding, vigour and approach to life. Such contents actually got me thinking whether it was possible to achieve Gods purpose in life without some commensurate innate gifts to serve as the underlining background for success, and to overcome the challenges of his commission on earth. Besides, God was said to have created man in His own image, and this same God to whom all the wealth and riches of the world belong is both Omni-potent, and Omniscient. As a liberal, and kind, God of love, could He also have allowed a man in His own image to come to face the rigour of the world empty-handed and totally unprepared. To solve this riddle and expose the readers to a better understanding of the controversy, this book has attempted to serialize the trends of life and the role of man in it, vis--vis the qualities he possesses to impact positively on what God has placed in his care, for him to be able to return home triumphantly if he did the right things here during his earthly sojourn.

Houston Rap Tapes

An Oral History of Bayou City Hip-Hop

By: Lance Scott Walker

The neighborhoods of Fifth Ward, Fourth Ward, Third Ward, and the Southside of Houston, Texas, gave birth to Houston rap, a vibrant music scene that has produced globally recognized artists such as Geto Boys, DJ Screw, Pimp C and Bun B of UGK, Fat Pat, Big Moe, Z-Ro, Lil’ Troy, and Paul Wall. Lance Scott Walker and photographer Peter Beste spent a decade documenting Houston’s scene, interviewing and photographing the people—rappers, DJs, producers, promoters, record label owners—and places that give rap music from the Bayou City its distinctive character. Their collaboration produced the books Houston Rap and Houston Rap Tapes. This second edition of Houston Rap Tapes amplifies the city’s hip-hop history through new interviews with Scarface, Slim Thug, Lez Moné, B L A C K I E, Lil’ Keke, and Sire Jukebox of the original Ghetto Boys. Walker groups the interviews into sections that track the different eras and movements in Houston rap, with new photographs and album art that reveal the evolution of the scene from the 1970s to today’s hip-hop generation. The interviews range from the specifics of making music to the passions, regrets, memories, and hopes that give it life. While offering a view from some of Houston’s most marginalized areas, these intimate conversations lay out universal struggles and feelings. As Willie D of Geto Boys writes in the foreword, “Houston Rap Tapes flows more like a bunch of fellows who haven’t seen each other for ages, hanging out on the block reminiscing, rather than a calculated literary guide to Houston’s history.”

My House Shall Be a House of Prayer

By: Lance Lambert

As the return of the Lord draws near there has never been a time when effective prayer is more strategic, necessary, and essential than now. Will we be a people who will truly watch and pray? Will anyone respond to His call and challenge? Corporate intercession is almost a lost art--and that when we most need it! I sought for a man among them, that should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none (Ezekiel 22:30). This is the call and challenge of the Lord.

Restore Such a One

Holistic Restoration for Ministers, Families, and Churches Following a Sexual Moral Failure

By: Lance M. Bacon

Widespread deficiencies in spiritual formation see an increasing number of ministers buckle under the significant burdens common to the task. There are seasons when a powerful triad of the flesh, the world, and the devil converge (Eph 2:2-3, cf. Jas 3:15 and 1 John 2:16). Misdirected attempts to fulfill emptiness, find worth, or heal longstanding wounds ensue. Widespread instances of sexual immorality result. Sound exegesis and analysis of theological doctrine presents an allowance, in certain cases, for ministerial restoration. However, this necessitates an intimate and intricate approach that differs significantly from the varied solutions churches and denominations offer. Few restoration programs bring a biblical response to bear. Remarkably rare are restoration programs that look to correct causal factors and commit to congregational care. This program orients itself on an understanding of brokenness and the need for holistic (re)formation. The latter requires fallen ministers to progress beyond biblical confession and repentance to partner with the Holy Spirit and key authorities such as an overseer, mentors, Christian mental health professionals, and a designated congregation. The unitive goal is a "sanctifying psychopathology" that properly diagnoses spiritual and emotional health; eradicates the adverse influences of emotional, cultural, and spiritual factors; and redirects self-oriented patterns of thought and behavior.

Opportunities in Solution-Focused Interviewing

Clients’ Key Words and Therapists’ Responses

By: Joel K. Simon,Lance Taylor

Written by the developers of the microanalysis of opportunities approach, this book describes how clinicians can use this model when listening and responding to clients in solution-focused therapy, training, coaching, and supervision. Joel K. Simon and Lance Taylor begin by reviewing the evolution, philosophical foundations, and intervention tools of solution-focused brief therapy, sharing how their practice has evolved over time from their clinical experience with clients, trainees, supervisees, and colleagues. Moving from theory to practice, the book then explores microanalysis of opportunities, beginning with how the authors developed the approach and created the process. Replete with actual examples of conversations between clients and therapists, and between trainer and trainee, the book demonstrates how the model can be applied in practice with analyses and discussions about analyzed material throughout. It displays the application of the approach to coaching, supervision, and training. This valuable book will not only be useful to therapists new to solution-focused brief therapy, but also to those who are experienced solution-focused practitioners. Psychotherapists, clinical social workers, counselors, and other mental health professionals will find this an illuminating read.

Founding Visions

The Ideas, Individuals, and Intersections that Created America

By: Lance Banning

Lance Banning was one of the most distinguished historians of his generation. His first book, The Jeffersonian Persuasion: Evolution of a Party Ideology, was a groundbreaking study of the ideas and principles that influenced political conflict in the early American Republic. His revisionist masterpiece, The Sacred Fire of Liberty: James Madison and the Founding of the Federal Republic, received the Merle Curti Award in Intellectual History from the Organization of American Historians and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Banning was assembling this collection of his best and most representative writings on the Founding era when his untimely death stalled the project just short of its completion. Now, thanks to the efforts of editor Todd Estes, this illuminating resource is finally available. Founding Visions showcases the work of a historian who shaped the intellectual debates of his time. Featuring a foreword by Gordon S. Wood, the volume presents Banning's most seminal and insightful essays to a new generation of students, scholars, and general readers.

Alan Villiers: Voyager of the Winds

By: Kate Lance

When Australian journalist Alan Villiers sailed on the last of the giant merchant windjammers in the 1920s and '30s, his writings and photographs made him famous. Villiers crewed on beautiful Herzogin Cecilie and tragic Grace Harwar, took tiny Joseph Conrad around the globe, sailed on Arabian dhows, led wartime landing craft, captained Mayflower II across the Atlantic, and inspired modern sail training and ship restoration projects. Drawn from his personal diaries, this award-winning biography of the author-adventurer reveals both his mythmaking and his achievements. It is a tribute to the greatest sailing ships ever launched – and to the extraordinary man who loved them. The book won the Mountbatten Maritime Award in 2009, and this Second Edition is fully revised. It contains over 100 photos, many of them new.

In 2019, two new stepsiblings, history-minded Jenny Newton and inventor-in-the-making Brian Hawke, move together into their new home, which once belonged to Brian’s grandfather, a man who had loved to study history and make incredible, new inventions. One day, while searching their new home, Jenny and Brian stumble upon Brian’s grandfather’s greatest invention: a watch. However, it is no ordinary watch. After Brian puts it on, he and Jenny are inadvertently zapped back to the year 1881 in the Wild West town of Sunset Gulch. Not long after they arrive, the watch, their only way home, is broken, leaving them stranded. Fortunately, a kindly couple known as the Finers offer to take them in. As the two kids attempt to repair the watch, they become involved in the town’s affairs and witness the rampage of a notorious gang of bandits and a terrifying assassin, but above all, they find themselves becoming part of a new family. It would seem they are destined for a fantastic adventure in history, and to grow stronger, smarter, tougher, and closer as they work to find their way home!
