Book Shelves #29, 7.15.2012
Book shelves series #29, twenty-ninth Sunday of 2012
Lots of hardbacks on this long, long shelf. The Vonneguts above were particularly important to me when I was young. They were my father's. I read them surreptitiously for years and then outright appropriated them at some point. The matching Dodd, Mead hardbacks were rescued from a school I worked at for years. My wife made the vase that serves as a bookend. The copy of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell that doesn't quite fit in the frame remains unread.
The BFG: a classic. I reviewed Wabi Sabi. Next to the Crumb:
I found Holidays in a box of free books in a library lobby. Love it. Here's this week's schedule of holidays:
One of my favorite books ever is Mitsou, a book that Balthus did when he was like 10 or 12 or something:
It's about a young boy who gets a cat and loves the cat and then loses the cat. It's heartbreaking. Image:

Book Shelves #26, 6.24.2012
Book shelves series #26, twenty-sixth Sunday of 2012: Some old art books.
This little shelf sits next to a solitary couch in a den/fireplace room that abuts the eat-in kitchen. The shelf is mostly to hold the occasional drink if feet are propped on the coffee table. There are old art books in here, dating back to high school and college, when my wife and I (separately, of course, in those days) still bought lots and lots of art books, before the internet made accessibility to images so ubiquitous. As such, the shelf holds books that reflected our tastes of fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years ago: Lots of Pre-Raphaelite and Romantic stuff (hers) and lots of surrealist/modernist/cubist stuff (mine). Anyway. These rarely get dug out these days. If I want to check out Burne-Jones I usually visit an online gallery.
The portrait of Joan Miro and his daughter in the upper right corner is by the painter who called himself Balthus. I love the painting. It's deeply creepy but also tender.
Book Shelves #15, 4.08.2012
1st Gent. How class your man? – as better than the most,
Or, seeming better, worse beneath that cloak?
As saint or knave, pilgrim or hypocrite?
2nd Gent. Nay, tell me how you class your wealth of books
The drifted relics of all time.
As well sort them at once by size and livery:
Vellum, tall copies, and the common calf
Will hardly cover more diversity
Than all your labels cunningly devised
To class your unread authors.
—George Eliot, Middlemarch, epigraph to Chapter 13
Book shelves series #15, fifteenth Sunday of 2012
A new book-case this week; the shorter triplet of the twin ladders seen here. What do the volumes on this top shelf hold in common? They are hardback. That's about it. Yes, I actually go through The Riverside Shakespeare every now and then, especially when sparking new ideas for class lectures. The Balthus memoir is pretty good. No, I never finished Godel, Escher, Bach. It's not hardback, come to think of it. The Fallada books are good stuff. Will Dylan ever finish up the Chronicles? Probably not. Maybe so. Who knows? We all love Shel Silverstein, of course.
Novels Make Lousy Gifts (But We Should Give Them Anyway)
Novels make lousy gifts.
Now, if you have even a passing acquaintance with this little blog, you know that I love novels, that Biblioklept primarily focuses on novels, and that I love books in general. I am not anti-novel or anti-giving-novels-as-gifts. Send me a novel as a gift. I will appreciate it (or trade it toward another book, which is kinda sorta a form of appreciation).
I went to my favorite bookstore today, in fact, to buy some books for Christmas presents. But I restrained myself from picking up novels as gifts.
If you love books like I do, I'm sure that some of your most favorite gifts ever have been novels. Some of my most favorite gifts have been novels. The remaindered copy of The Lord of the Rings (from the South Barwon Library that some friends of the family gave me on Dec. 5th, 1990 when we visited Melbourne (the one in Australia, not Florida)) is probably one of my all-time favorite gifts. I know the exact date because the nice lady who gave it to me wrote a kind note in book and included the date in her note.
I could never bear to get rid of an inscribed book given as a gift, but lots of people do get rid of inscribed books. This is a monstrous practice, one that attests to just how easily people will discard your oh-so-earnest gifts. If you spend a lot of time in used bookstores (I do) you will come across these sad markings. Because it's close at hand, and I'm aware of its inscription, I'll share the note that Jean wrote to Helen (no, of course I know neither of them) in my copy of Balthus's memoir, Vanished Splendors:
I am aware that the memoir of a pervy artist is not the same as a novel, and that, as my first illustrating example, I already seem to be losing my metaphorical balance, but again, it was close at hand, right near the Tolkien in fact (by the bye, Vanished Splendors is pure gold).
In any case, I think Balthus's memoir "reads" like a novel, which is to say that it's mostly big chunks of text that require time and energy to decipher, set against the backdrop of TV, internet, movies, etc. It has some pictures, but not many. There's no gimmick to it. I'm guessing that Helen just wasn't into Balthus, or, if she had a passing interest in his art, it didn't translate into wanting to read his memoir. She certainly didn't read any of it (yes, I have a special sense that tells me when a book has been read. This baby was a virgin). Every time I look over the book, I feel sorta bad for Jean, whose gift seems to have gone unappreciated (by Helen; not by me. I was happy to pick it up used).
To return to an earlier point: yes, some of our favorite gifts ever might be novels. However, most of the life-changing novels I received were rarely given as birthday or Christmas gifts. They weren't gifts of obligation, if you'll forgive the ugliness of that term. Most of the great novels that were given to me were handed along free of occasion, given because the giver thought (knew) I should read them.
At Christmas though, we feel obliged to give. Sometimes we get some great novels as gifts. More often though, it seems like that relative who knows you "like to read" gives you a novel by, I dunno, Clive Cussler or Tom Clancy. The worst though are those tiny little hardback books that are designed specifically to be gifts, little faux-tomes of faux-philosophy usually connected to golf or angels or some other bullshit (I was horrified last year when DFW's "This Is Water" speech got this treatment). Anyway, if you like books, you probably just go trade in this bullshit toward the books you like.
But this post isn't really about the problem of getting airport novels or gimmick books as gifts. This post is about those of us who insist on giving novels we love to people who we know don't really love reading novels. Especially really big, somewhat (or very) experimental novels. Important novels. Those novels that we read and decide that everyone needs to read this to become a fully realized human being [gags on that phrase].
I think sometimes we give our friends and relatives novels as gifts because we love them so much and we also love the book so much that we are maybe gunning for an intellectual three-way. We want them to read the novel so that we can share in it together, discuss it, rant about it, argue about it (remember though: that's what the internet is for).
What often happens though is that these gifted novels (forgive the ambiguous, awkward modifier) tend to lurk about the giftee's abode, brickishly unread, like dour unwanted houseguests. They skulk at the margins of bookshelves or migrate to the bottom of "to read" stacks; a lucky one might find occasional fingering above a commode. They are ugly reminders to the giftee, signals of how he or she has failed to meet your expectations (your expectations re: 9 or 15 or 25 or 30 hours of her time). (Young people, by which I mean college students in the liberal arts, are the exception here; they probably aren't going to read the novel, but they are absolutely fine with putting it out for show).
People like books with pictures though, generally.
Even though I think novels tend to make lousy gifts, we should give them to our friends and loved ones anyway, even on those days of obligated giving. We should still offer novels up like they were somehow a part of our own selves in the deluded hope that the giftee will read them and discuss them with us, and that the novel will become an internal, virtual, shared experience. We should give them knowing that it's likely they'll go unread, that they may even be a point of shame for the giftee (especially when we ask, "Have you started . . . ?"). We should give them aware that they might point toward our own selfish desires.
Even if a novel may be a gift that implies a certain level of intellectual work, it also implies a sense of trust and respect toward the giftee, and in this sense, giving a loved novel is a clear way to show love.

I bought one of these a few months ago but did not unbox it until last weekend, when I was having company. I washed both of the vessels and filled one with iced tea. But when I tried to fill the second one with lemonade it began to leak like crazy from around the spigot. I tried wiggling the spigot around but it continued to leak, so I served lemonade in a pitcher instead. It's a shame because this is a really nice looking set, but just one serving vessel on the double frame looks stupid. I won't be able to use it again unless I can find a replacement for the leaky vessel.
I purchased this for an event. I made the mistake of not testing the faucets on both containers. At the event, only one would work. Too late to fix & too late to send back. This is the first time I've been disappointed with an Overstock purchase.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. One faucet did not work
The overall look of the product is nice but the liquid does not pour our the the faucet very well. I would not recommend this product.
This is a nice gift item. I would buy it again. Thanks O.co Well packed fast delivery.

Not completed yet. However, I have produced about two minutes of what I believe will be a 20 minute video. Based on these two minutes alone, I believe this will be my best video yet. The script for Mere is about 60% done and the script for Campir is about 20% done. Will keep you posted.
Stop with this nonsense discussion. No one cares really.

Have you thought about the feedback that your video's could be compressed more into the 10-15min window, rather than 15-20mins? Just keep that in mind when editing, don't be too possessive of everything you've wrote and be prepared to cut the chaff.

text: Marussia wants to build own Formula 1 engines by 2016 10 October, 2013 Nikolay Fomenko Marussia owner Nikolai Fomenko wants his Formula 1 team to be powered by its own engines. As current engine supplier Cosworth departs, the team announced in July it has agreed a 'long-term' deal to be powered by Ferrari's new turbo V6 from 2014. But, citing the Russian edition of Autosport, the Russian news agency Ria Novosti quotes Fomenko as saying: "If we survive to the 2016 season, then I hope Marussia will have its own engines." "We're moving towards that. It's our main aim," he added. Marussia, a Russian supercar maker led by Fomenko, bought the Formula 1 team from Virgin ahead of last season.

A fun choke from the Turtle Position. I learned this as a blue belt and then made it my goal to get it in live rolling because I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. Sadly it took me almost 3 months to get it because our instructor yelled at us if we tried to rest in the Turtle position. The best time to use this is if your opponent tries to rest in Turtle or they actually play from the turtle position. Be careful when going for this that you do no kick your partner in the back of the head while swinging your leg around. To avoid this make sure you really stand up and disengage. Because you disengage for this move, you may be letting your opponent back into the game. It is for this reason that I do not use this move often. You may feel inclined to practice this move slowly but the momentum of this move makes it much easier. You will find that after you get the movement down it is amazingly easy. watch video >>

The reason that ACTA was negotiated in secret among rich countries was that this was seen as the most expeditious way of getting a super-extreme copyright agreement passed with a minimum of fuss, and that all the poor countries who were excluded from the negotiation would later be coerced into agreeing to it.

One of the most common questions I get, and quite likely the most irrelevant, is "how shall the artists get paid?" in a scenario where the copyright monopoly is scaled back to sensible levels. But it makes no sense to ask that of a politician, for two primary and two secondary reasons.

Could Free Software Exist Without Copyright?
GNU GPL actually *depends* on copyright, an intellectual monopoly, in order to spread intellectual freedom. Moreover, it seems to doom free software into a kind of symbiosis with copyright, forcing it to remain a supporter of that monopoly, since without it, the approach used to make the GPL so powerful would not work.

Kimberley Alpine Resort (David Gluns photo)
Dogsledding is a unique way to explore British Columbia's wilderness in winter.
Many resorts and operators offer dogsledding tours and memorable backcountry experiences. Sleds are pulled by enthusiastic teams of dogs, usually Siberian or Alaskan huskies, and glide quietly along snow-covered trails. Scenery along the route can include mountain views, frozen lakes or powder-filled meadows.
No experience is needed to enjoy dogsledding, and it's possible to choose the level of participation. Sit cocooned and cosy in the sled. Or, learn commands from your guide (gee, haw, hike!), stand on the sled runners and drive the dog team.
BC also provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity to have mail delivered via dogsled. During the Gold Rush Trail Dog Sled Mail Run, dogsled teams carry souvenir envelopes along a historic, 100-km/62-mi route from Quesnel to Wells; the mail then enters the regular postal system and is sent to recipients around the world.

Horticulture awareness campaigns being conducted in villages where farming is the predominant profession, have started evoking good response since the participant village panchayat presidents and progressive farmers can interact with the officials directly to convey their actual requirements such as vegetable seeds, fruit plants, technologies, appropriate solutions for the problems being faced by them on the field.
According to R. Rajan Ravichandran, Deputy Director of Horticulture, Tirunelveli, block-level village awareness campaigns are being organised by the Department of Horticulture to popularise the development schemes such as Integrated Horticulture Development Scheme (IHDS) wherein farmers can get high yielding hybrid vegetable seeds at 50 per cent subsidised cost to the maximum of half a hectare per farmer and high yielding fruit plants like sapota graft, guava layers, mgrafts, pomegranate layers etc. at 50 per cent subsidised cost to the maximum of one hectare per farmer under Precision Farming project.
Hence the farmers are able to get subsidy for inputs like water soluble fertilizers and hybrid vegetable seeds, worth Rs. 20,000 per hectare with fertigation system dovetailed with micro irrigation system with a maximum of one hectare per farmer.
Area expansion programme under National Horticulture Mission (NHM) scheme has the subsidy pattern of Rs. 17,500 per hectare for amla, Rs. 16,500 per hectare for mango, Rs. 15,000 per hectare for acidlime, Rs. 12,000 per hectare for small and marginal farmers for flowers, Rs. 12,500 per hectare for chillies.
Under the Tamil Nadu Irrigated Agriculture Modernisation and Water Bodies Restoration and Management (IAMWARM) project, Rs. 15,000 per hectare is given for vegetables, he also added.
Since indents for inputs required under various development schemes for the ensuing season have been prepared at grassroots-level, based on the response from the agriculturists, these campaigns have turned out to be successful.
About 150 farmers have so far submitted their list of requirements for fruit plants, vegetable seeds etc. under various horticulture development schemes in Melaneelithanallur block alone.
P. Theivasundari, Revenue Inspector, Kurukkalpatti, who also participated in the campaign held at Kurukkalpatti on Wednesday said the revenue department would do the needful for giving all necessary documents needed for carrying out the development schemes especially drip irrigation, in time.
Responding to the farmers' queries, S. Raja Mohamed, Assistant Director of Horticulture, Melaneelithanallur block, explained the benefits being extended to farmers under various schemes by the Department of Horticulture including IHDS, Drip irrigation, Precision Farming, NHM etc.
He stressed the need for testing soil and water quality for growing perennial crops as they are not only mandatory but also necessary to claim subsidy under Micro Irrigation System and Precision Farming project.
"Existing dry spell is the apt time for taking soil samples", he added.
Enrol names
He also urged the farmers to enrol their names in National Agriculture Insurance Scheme for banana crops.
Based on the request made by the farmers who participated in today's campaign, arrangements were immediately made to bring Mobile Soil Testing Unit to Panaivadalichatram in the block on September 13 from Kovilpatti, so that farmers can test the soil quality before the onset of northeast monsoon.
Assistant Agricultural Officers K. Thangaraj and B. Premkumar spoke on the occasion.

Lake Pedder is the home of a number of relictual organisms. One of those, a new species of freshwater sponge of the genus Radiospongilla, is described herein. Radiospongilla pedderensis sp. nov. occurs throughout most of the lake and often is found in very large numbers in many bays. Radiospongilla is widely distributed in tropical and sub-tropical regions of all continents. The pneumatic layer of the gemmule contains numerous abnormal gemmoscleres a condition probably caused by the chemistry of the lake. The morphology and dimensions of the megascleres, gemmoscleres and aberrant gemmoscleres, as well as the location, structure and size of gemmules, are provided for R. pedderensis. The sponge is a bright green colour due to intracellular zoochlorellae. Their presence in local members of Radiospongilla has been the subject of considerable speculation but herein they are illustrated for the first time in an Australian species.

Frugal Fitness: Top 20 Benefits of Exercise
by Greg Landry, M.S. Exercise Physiologist
- Elevates your metabolism so that you burn more calories everyday.
- Increases your aerobic capacity (fitness level). This gives you the ability to go through your day with less relative energy expenditure. This enables a "fit" person to have more energy at the end of the day and to get more accomplished during the day with less fatigue.
- Maintains, tones, and strengthens your muscle. Exercise also increases your muscular endurance.
- Decreases your blood pressure.
- Increases the oxidation (breakdown and use) of fat.
- Increases HDL (good) cholesterol.
- Makes the heart a more efficient pump by increasing stroke volume.
- Increases hemoglobin concentration in your blood. Hemoglobin is part of the red blood cell that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
- Decreases the tendency of the blood to clot in the blood vessels. This is important because small clots traveling in the blood are often the cause of heart attacks and strokes.
- Increases the strength of the bones.
- Causes the development of new blood vessels in the heart and other muscles.
- Enlarges the arteries that supply blood to the heart.
- Decreases blood levels of triglycerides (fat).
- Improves control of blood sugar.
- Improves sleep patterns.
- Increases the efficiency of the digestive system which may reduce the incidence of colon cancer.
- Increases the thickness of cartilage in joints which has a protective effect on the joints.
- Decreases a woman's risk of developing endometriosis by 50%.
- Increases the amount of blood that flows to the skin making it look and feel healthier.
- Exercise, in addition to all the physiological and anatomical benefits, just makes you feel GREAT!

See Click Fix: Albany
Protect and preserve Albany's water and ensure that it continues to serve our City for decades to come
Since 1994, we have invested more than $40 million in capital projects to upgrade Albany's water and sewer systems. An important part of this effort has been to upgrade and modernize our water filtration plant, to ensure that Albany water continues to meet and exceed all Federal and State water quality standards.
In 2007, and again in 2010, we were honored to be awarded First Prize as the best tasting drinking water in New York State. We are very proud of Albany drinking water, and we are happy that others throughout the State recognize our achievements. In 2011, Albany water was named one of the five best tasting drinking waters in America, during a blind taste test sponsored by the United States Conference of Mayors. This is the first time in Albany's history that our drinking water has ever received such high honors, and we are very proud of receiving this national recognition.
We have the most modern equipment that allows us to do our job better. The most sophisticated, high-tech leak detection equipment, modern radio-read water meters, and construction of the largest UV treatment facility in New York State are only a few of the technological advances made over the last decade.
We pride ourselves at operating an efficient and effective water utility to better serve you–our valued customers. Our dedicated team of professionals is on the job, 24 hours a day, everyday to make sure you have safe and reliable drinking water. You can always count on Albany Water to continue to work on your behalf, just as we have been doing since 1850.
The property owner contracts with a licensed plumber for the construction of a new water service. There is a fee to the Albany Water Board for tapping the water main and also a fee for a water meter. These fees vary according to the size of the service. Contact customer service at 518-434-5300.

Hi Guys,
Please help to solve this question. I do not know how to solve this.
Your help is greatly appriecated.
The answer is 2.
Thank you
I like Peritus' substitution
we could split the integral up and find,
the last integral can be done using the power rule, for the first, i see two ways of approaching it.
the easier of the two ways is to make the substitution , and continue by integration by parts, which will be easy (you may even know the integral of ln x by heart, so integration by parts won't be necessary)
the second way is to multiply the first integral by and then use the substitution . again you would continue by parts, but this one would be a little harder i think
hehe. i like this approach, when you use a derivative to find the integral. it is a neat concept. sometimes it is hard to come up with the function to differentiate, but when you can come up with it, it seems all too obvious. (in fact, the method of integration by parts was developed using this approach. what they did was to undo the product rule)
for the benefit of the class, i shall show how we find the integral of ln(x) using the by parts method.
the trick here is to note that , obvious enough
Thus, if we take and , we have:
An alternative method to find the integral of is the following. (i actually just thought of this now, i've never seen this done before, but the technique is a very familiar one)
By substitution, let
Thus, our integral becomes
(by parts)
as desired
of course, this way is a bit more work than the last, but it's nice to know several ways to skin a cat...if skinning a cat is your thing
