You asked us to look into the problem of potholes in Utica and the city listened. There are 200 less potholes in Utica than there were last week.

SPECIAL MIDWEEK EDITION An exiled King's return
Updated: January 12, 2006, 6:38 PM ETBy Marc Stein
Editor's note: ESPN.com senior NBA writer Marc Stein supplies each item for this midweek around-the-league notebook edition of the Daily Dime.
Almost one year later, it looks like the proverbial trade that helped neither team.
Looks like.
Examine it with more than a mere glance at the standings and the initial reaction here to last February's Chris Webber trade still applies.
I liked the deal better for the Philadelphia 76ers then, and I like it better for the ...

As far as Monarchs hockey goes, this past weekend can be described in three words; smorgasbord of awesome. Two games played, two wins (one shootout and one regulation), four points, all in front of the IceCaps' home crowd in the great white north. I would have been happy seeing the guys come away with a 1-1 split, but 2-0 domination? We'll take it!
So Wednesday night will kick off the Monarchs next stretch where they'll be seeing action three times in five days. First up is a game against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. If you recall one of my previous posts, the Monarchs had yet to beat the Sound Tigers this season; that finally changed in their last matchup. The Monarchs bested the 'Tigers by a score of 3-2 on Bridgeport's own ice with a trio of goals, courtesy of their hottest forwards, Colton Yellow Horn, Tyler Toffoli and Jordan Weal.
Like I said before, all studs right now.
The season series against this particular team has been lopsided, but I'd like to think that their big win last time — and the two this past weekend — are indicative of a changing of the guard. Jonesey seems to be back on his game. The forwards are producing. Even the defense have notched a goal here and there (Rodney and Bodnarchuk on Saturday night). Good things are starting to happen. Dare I even say it?
Speaking of good things, hats off — pun VERY intended — to the Kings for their win and to Jeff Carter on his fifth career hat trick. I was really hoping we'd see Bernie get a shutout too, but my guess is somebody somewhere saw the time remaining and said the "s word" aloud.
Don't they know the first rule about shutouts is just like the first rule of Fight Club?
Go Monarchs (and Kings)!

Farm-fresh yoga: 3 small, cheap retreats near New York City
Kripalu and Omega are the mega stores of yoga retreats. Marquee-name teachers and wellness gurus flock to these new-age Disneylands in the Berkshires and outside Rhinebeck. But there are intimate farmhouse-style getaways with fantastic yoga teachers from New York City where you won't have to deal with cafeterias, airplane-hanger size yoga studios, or more than 20 other guests. Expect twin beds, shared baths, and rates of about $125 per night including yoga, food, and lodging. Unlike the mega retreats, these bindi-dot–size getaways don't publish big glossy course catalogs that they leave in every NYC health-food store. So you'll have to visit their websites and check out their clunky calendars, but it's worth it. Here are three to keep your eye on:
Heathen Hill
The yogi-innkeeper Susan Lip studied with Cindy Lee and Rodney Yee, who's teaching here in the fall. Her adorable Delaware County farmhouse is set on 10 rolling acres with a pond for swimming. Expect two single beds per room (or camping), plus marshmallow-roasting and hot-tubbing, and no cell-phone signal. The 18-person yoga studio gets natural light, and meals are mostly vegetarian (bacon at Sunday brunch is the exception). "It's sort of like going to stay with your favorite aunt who tells jokes that make your mom wince and who can cook like the dickens," says Marisa Sako of Bend & Bloom and Kula Yoga Project, who just lead a retreat there and will again in September. Rates start at about $385 per person, per weekend; www.heathenhillyoga.net
The Garden
Two New Yorkers—Maria Gray, an architect, and Dages Keates, an integrative nutritionist—run retreats from this lovely restored 18th-century villa near Beacon in the Hudson Valley. Organic vegetarian cooking lessons and massage (for an extra fee) are often part of a yoga weekend with teachers like Alana Kessler (Sangha Yoga Shala), Holly Horvath (ViraYoga) and meditation with Sarah Barab. Most rooms have two twin beds; some have a queen. The Garden's events calendar needs updating, but Max B., a Well+Good reader who just attended a retreat, said she learned how to make kale in half the time, loved the yoga, and "returned with a light around her that her friends hadn't seen in ages." Rates about $350/$575 per person, per weekend; www.GrowInTheGarden.com
The Waterfall House
Many NYC yogis have make the pilgrimage to this popular 1852 farmhouse near Kenguragara Waterfall and surrounded by 50 Western Catskills acres. The main house feels like a David Lynch country inn with its antiques, quirky mementos, a kitchy game room, and vintage bar. Two other houses provide lodging for groups up to 25. Here you'll find yoga led by instructors from NYC, like Go Yoga in Williamsburg, and Boston, as well as Pilates retreats. You can also book bodywork and private instruction upon special request. Rates about $400 per person, per weekend; www.nywaterfallhouse.com

We are not exactly a weekend place from NYC, tho NYers do come in for 3 days weekends. We have been offering a similar style of small very personalized yoga retreats for 5 or more days in our historic home, 3 meals a day, B and B feel and lots of good reviews over the years. For NYers who really want a change of scenery and pace in Maine. I have been a teacher in NYC for 25 years and do still teach there winters.

Keep up the fantastic works guys I've incorporated you guys to blogroll.

NAHBS 2013: Our Favorite Mountain Bikes
Paragon Machine Works
12 / 17
Paragon does not normally build bicycles; the iconic Marin County company is a supplier of framebuilding parts, tools, and machining services to the bike-making industry. Many bikes displayed at NAHBS were built using their dropouts. But Paragon broke with tradition and came to NAHBS with this incredible mountain bike built around an 18-speed gearbox drivetrain in the bottom bracket.

Justin Slayer's Black Girls Get Nasty Too Favorite

Mars (Return to Top)
I didn't know it was an issue, but Justin Slayer is out to prove that black girls get nasty too. If nasty is defined as "having a large ass and having sex on film" then this flick is definitive evidence supporting his claim. Slayer has found fine looking women, all with what I can comfortably refer to as "ghetto booty," who have energetic sex and don't mind taking it in the aforementioned booty. The camera work is a bit too close for my liking, but the video definitely delivers what it promises.... Read the Full Review!

only just a very little bit, as soon as i realize it i just quit. i don't come here to fight.
thank you.
good, we need more people like us. i keep reading about people fighting here and i always wonder why? it's not what this site is supposed to be.
…yep…. :) …dumb *** perverts, loser haters and ……
Only once really bad, 7 yrs. ago. It ended with me telling the snot box she was a real ball of f***ing Sunshine, and a reprimand from EP. LOL.
The fight went public in Confessions. I got private memo asking to just ignore her. lol. There was a generalized reprimand (a flagging of sorts, for those days). now you just hit a flag button and... mostly it gets overlooked! lol. But in the early days there were WAY fewer members so EP staff had a more personal, hands-on communication with the folks.
Fighting online is like sex chat, just a waste of time.
yeh with few
Not seriously ... traded a few insults at times...
On here, it's par for the course.
37 times
im sure we all have
thats cool

The Jon Stewart Show is a late night talk show that was hosted by comedian Jon Stewart. The program premiered on MTV in 1993 as a thirty-minute daily program. At the end of its first season, MTV's then-corporate sibling Paramount Domestic Television retooled the program, extended it to sixty minutes, and used it as a replacement for the canceled Arsenio Hall Show for the 1994—95 television season. While the show garnered high ratings on MTV, it was not a success in syndication and was canceled in 1995.
Celebrity guests who made appearances on the show included Howard Stern, David Letterman, Jonathan Brandis, Courteney Cox, Sherry Stringfield, Lorenzo Lamas, Bronson Pinchot, Conan O'Brien and William Shatner. The show was also popular for showcasing the type of musical guests that usually were not seen on other talk shows, such as King's X, Quicksand, Blind Melon, Killing Joke, Buffalo Tom, Diamanda Galás, Slayer, Van Halen, Peter Murphy, Sunny Day Real Estate, Bad Religion, Naughty by Nature, White Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Redd Kross, Dom Pachino, Faith No More, Rocket from the Crypt, Ol' Dirty Bastard, The Breeders, Belly, Letters to Cleo, "Weird Al" Yankovic, The Afghan Whigs, The Notorious B.I.G., Guided by Voices, Warren Zevon, Mike Watt, Danzig, Face to Face, Helmet, and Pop Will Eat Itself, as well as fringe sub-culture guests such as Rev. Ivan Stang of the Church of the SubGenius.
The show was produced by Madeleine Smithberg, the creator of The Daily Show.
One of the more memorable episodes featured a performance by Marilyn Manson, who threw instruments around the stage, and ended with a piggyback ride offstage by Jon Stewart. During the show's final episode, the audience was offered margaritas and taxicab rides home. This final episode featured a lengthy interview with David Letterman, who rarely appears on talk shows other than his own. The eleven members of (then-upcoming) MTV sketch show The State appeared as the last guests on the final episode of the half-hour version of the show, and The State cast members received Stewart's permission to "trash" the set with various implements of destruction.
After the show's cancellation, Stewart appeared in some minor television and film roles. Then, in January 1999 Stewart began hosting The Daily Show on Comedy Central, which at the time was partially owned by MTV Networks. He replaced the original host Craig Kilborn, who had moved to broadcast television.

The Veterans Success Center at Cal State San Bernardino, in collaboration with CSUSB's Air Force ROTC, will celebrate the 66th birthday of the United States Air Force on Friday, Sept. 27, on the campus's Pfau Library lawn from 1:30-3:30 p.m.
The event is free and open to the public. Parking at the university is $5 per vehicle.
The celebration will begin with a brief address by the new commander of CSUSB's Air Force ROTC Detachment 002, Lt. Col. Chas. Peterson. The invocation will be given by Chaplain Jeffrey Montanari of the California Air National Guard. At approximately 1:45 p.m., there will be a fly over of Korean War-era T-34 airplanes from the March Air Force Base Aero Club.
Following the outdoor celebration, the festivities will move to the Recital Hall of CSUSB's Performing Arts building, where guest speaker Col. Paul Green, U.S. Air Force Ret., will share his experience of growing up in the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home and later becoming a World War II Tuskegee Airman. This group of dedicated and determined young men became America's first Black military airmen, earning more than 850 medals for valor during combat.
During his military career, Col. Green earned 18 awards, honors and decorations, including a Meritorious Service Medal, an Air Medal and a Bronze Star. He ended his prestigious career as commander of San Bernardino's Norton Air Force Base, serving from 1974-76. Green has served on the board of directors for many civic organizations and received an honorary doctorate from Tuskegee University in Alabama.
"On behalf of the Coyote family, we thank all those who are serving or have served in the U.S. Air Force for their sacrifice and commitment to the defense of our nation," said Marci Daniels, coordinator of the CSUSB Veterans Success Center. "Through your daily efforts, you sustain the legacy for future generations of proud airmen."
The United States Department of the Air Force was created by the National Security Act and became effective Sept. 18, 1947, when the first secretary of the Air Force took office. On Sept. 21, 1947, the Army Air Forces became the United States Air Force – a separate and equal element of the United States Armed Forces.
"As we celebrate the establishment of the United States Air Force as a separate service, we are reminded of their proud heritage and promising future," said Daniels.
Beginning Sept. 20, the CSUSB Veterans Success Center will offer free airplane kits to campus departments and also hold a contest to compete for the most innovative, longest flight and best stunts. Prizes will be awarded.
For more information and for disability accommodations (72-hour notice required), contact Marci Daniels at the Veterans Success Center at (909) 537-5196, or e-mail email@example.com.
For more information about Cal State San Bernardino, contact the university's Office of Public Affairs at (909) 537-5007 and visit news.csusb.edu.

The Bugbear is a dangerous Goblin-like or Bogey-like creature that was fond of eating children. As the name suggests, the Bugbear had the shape of a large bear. Stories of the Bugbear were used to scare children in English 19th century tales. The name derives from the old Celtic word 'bug' which means an evil Goblin. During the medieval period people said that the Bugbear was a monstrous bear-monster that lurked in the woods and would capture and eat any children that wandered in there on their own. Now the word Bugbear is a general word used to denote a situation as annoying.

LC-A Big Book Chapter 47: The Smena: A Camera for Everyone2 Share Tweet
The Smena, which roughly translated means "Young Generation", was the one camera that was clearly designed for mass production, and has bravely accompanied millions of photographers throughout their lives.
One of the most popular cameras of all time first ran off the belt of the LOMO PLC factory in 1954 and underwent steady development until the 19905: the Smena.
The Smena, which roughly translated means "Young Generation", was the one camera that was clearly designed for mass production, and has bravely accompanied millions of photographers throughout their lives. The Smena 1 was the first Soviet camera that was not a copy of any other camera and had a 40mm focal length lens that provided a great depth of field. It was followed by the slightly improved Smena 2 in 1955, which was then proceeded by the slightly modified Smena 3, 4 and 5 as the years went by. The Smena 5 used plastic parts for the first time along with the usual Bakelite body. The positive attributes of all Smenas, handy black 35mm boxes with a manual focusing system, have always been easy handling, an affordable price and fast and cheap mass-production. They were later also copied exactly in China under the names "Chang Jiang" and "Hua Shan". Out of the total 40 million photo-cameras that have been produced at LOMO PLC-works, 22 million have been Smena-models. Moreover, many a schoolboy or schoolgirl got presented with a Smena camera when they successfully finished first grade – it is truly the camera that almost every Soviet photographer has had in his hands at least once in his life. Various models of this camera were produced up until 1993 .

Guest Post - Pedro Alves, Senior VP of Community, Pentaho
Hello everyone!
Exactly 2 months after the Pentaho Community event in Brazil, that had an all-time record of roughly 200 attendees (see photo on right), we're hosting our next User Group meeting in London. Shared points between both events? Similar topics, amazing people willing to share their experiences and learn from others and the always fundamental beer and pizza! Unfortunately, the amazing Brazilian weather won't be the same. Chances are it will be cold and wet - welcome to London :)
The event will be held at the Skills Matter Exchange in the Clerkenwell area of London on Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 6.00 pm. We're targeting the Pentaho Community, which in my definition includes customers, users, developers, basically anyone that's willing to spend some time helping to make the product better. It's one of my main goals as Senior VP of Community to create conditions for that to happen, and I'm interested in hearing ideas and feedback that anyone is willing to share.
Here's the current agenda:
- Matt Casters, creator and architect of PDI / Kettle will lead a demo and discussion on how Pentaho supports Hadoop and big data analytics.
- Dave Romano will lead a talk on how big data start-up Causata has been using Pentaho, specifically covering its use of a custom repository, step plug-ins and embedding Kettle
- Pedro Alves will present CPK, the Community Plugin Kickstarter, a tool that allow non-developers to create Pentaho Plugins
- Simon Raybould will describe the dashboard centric implementation at Found, heavily centered around Ctools and Mondrian
There will be plenty of time before and after the meetup for informal networking. For more information and to register, please visit this link. On behalf of PLUG (Pentaho London User Group) organiser Dan Keeley and Pentaho, we hope to see you on June 20th.
Pedro Alves, Senior VP of Community, Pentaho

Publisher's Description
Based on John's new trade book, The Way of the Wild Heart Workbook sheds light on the initiation into manhood, reaching out to men who lacked the spiritual role models to help lead them through this rite of passage. It will reach out to "unfinished men" and help them identify their weaknesses, baggage, and uncertainties that hinder them in becoming the individuals and the mentors that they strive to be.
Eldredge identifies six stages that all men go through: the beloved son, the cowboy ranger, the warrior, the lover, the king, and the sage. In this workbook, Eldredge presents a working, walking model that men can apply to their daily lives.

A few simple steps and your business can be visited and enjoyed by people all over the planet.

The formula irritated my lips, dried them out & peeling commenced. Took a week of Aquaphor to get them back to normal. I find I can tolerate it to top off a few of my matte lipsticks, so I salvaged the product to that extent. But on bare lips, it's a no-go for me.
The packaging is top notch, but even if it did not wreck my kisser, at this price point it would be a luxury purchase & I would rather allocate that kind of money towards high end hair or skin care products.
Like many MUA reviews, it was my free gift from Sephora. I wavered on selecting the men's birthday option; Anthony Logistics Glycolic Face Cleanser (deluxe sample). A minor regret as I was trying to undo the peeling lip damage

I got this as a present from sephora (like what seems like everyone else did hehe..) and im so glad because the full size of this retails at $20+! crazy. Anywho, this product is VERY similar to Burt Bee's tinted lip balm line in texture to me, except the Sugar ones are a bit smoother and feel waxier to me. Not really my thing, mostly because of the high price tag but if thats your concern you might want to check out Burt's Bee's line.
P.S. Don't let the high price tag fool you into thinking that it means it's of superior quality to other (..cheaper) products out there :/ I know everyone's tastes differ but yeah..
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm

Recently got this from Sephora's private sale. Finally caved due to the hype.
It has a very subtle fruity scent that is very very nice. Tinted with very sheer rosy colour. I have very dry lips that chaps all the time. Very picky when it comes to lipbalms as not all will work for me. (ie Burt's bee honey lipbalm doesn't). This is very creamy, moisturizng and kept my lips from chapping. It feels very nice on and the more i use it the more i love it. A thin layer gives off a sheen while too much makes my lips look oily. Like i've just eaten a fried chicken....
I also love and hated the packaging. The packaging feels very "solid" and thus heavy... too heavy. It feels really good quality and looks absolutely fantastic. Its a screw type instead of the normal lipstick packaging where you just pull off the cap. The feeling when i am unscrewing the cap however, the material rubbing against each other, feels alittle eeky.
Overall a good product but the price is horendous.
Update: i said i will not repurchase because it so costly, but i just did... i just purchased a set with a mini lip butter and Fresh Soy Cleanser...
Age: 30-35
Skin: Acne-prone, Dark, Neutral
Hair: Black, Kinky, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I really liked this lip balm. I recieved the mini in the Sephora birthday set. The packaging is pretty, but a little cumbersome to open. The smell is decent and fleeting. To me, it smells like the old-school Avon Dew Kiss Lip Dew. The balm has a very soft consistency, which is good for the lips, but terrible in the heat. This is not a good one to keep in your pocket!
As for the balm itself, it has a tint, but it is barely discernible on my deeply pigmented lips. Because of this, I just use it as a regular colorless lip balm. It does my lips so right -- the moisture soaks right in and softens them right up. This is perfect for under lipstick! Unfortunately, I get a very similar effect when I use Nivea Kiss of Moisture, so I can't justify a future purchase, well, unless I'm suddenly blessed with loads of discretionary income.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Combination, Olive, Neutral

Eyes: Green
love the color so much i wanted it to work. but it just doesn't. its waxy and drying. please Fresh, change the formula so I can love it! i sooo want to!!! so much that i'm giving it a 3 anyways!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Dry, Fair, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Curly, Fine
Eyes: Brown
This does give a really pretty rose tint to my lips. However, I find that it is not moisturizing at all. It makes my lips look like I just ate a strawberry popsicle. I love the color so much, but my main problem with it is the formula. Just like the other fresh balms, it turns into mush when I try to apply it. That drives me crazy and makes me never want to buy fresh sugar lip treatments. It just turns into mush. I'm not okay with that.
EDIT: despite its flaws, this is a great alternative to lipstick, which I despise. I find myself reaching for it a lot because it gives just the right pop of color. May repurchase.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Cool
Hair: Blond, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Blue
Love this stuff - it is one of the few lip treatments that really seems to improve the texture of my lips, makes the, softer and smoother. It gives a beautiful, sheer pink tint to my lips and makes a great base for drier lipstick formulas. Lovely stuff!
Age: 44-55
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Hazel
I received this as part of a Sugar Kisses Mini Lip Duo as a Bday pressie from Sephora. See my other review for the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment.
This is the same, smooth, moisturizing lippie as it's sister, Fresh Sugar, but it has a light rose tint. It's lovely on my pigmented lips, but I would like a shade more tint.
Because I got it as a mini set, I can't speak to the price, or to the design of the full sized tubes, but one of my favorite things about this is that the cap screws on. A solution to a constant problem in my bags wherein the cap and the lippie break up without telling me.
Overall, a nice little balm with a hint of color and a smooth moisture. I would repurchase.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Tan, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Wavy, Coarse
Eyes: Black
I've been eyeing this product for a while - and came away underwhelmed. It's called a "treatment' but not exactly sure what it's treating. It's a lip balm. It's supposed to be moisturizing, and it has SPF. So it fulfills those requirements. Does it do it better than anything I've used? Not really. Does it do it worse? Not really. It's just average.
The tint is nice, but not super impactful on my lips. There's a slight rose scent, so it's a plus or minus depending on what you think of fake rose scents.
The packaging is different with a screw cap instead of a slide off cap, but the balm stick feels shaky. If you expose a lot, it feels like it has the potential to break when you use it.
I would say it's most comparable with Softlips tints for consistency and color but with a slightly better scent. Is that worth paying 4x as much?
Age: 19-24
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Black, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I have 4 of the fresh sugar lip treatments, and they're all awesome. will continue to buy. this isn't a balm, it's a treatment. balms only fill in the lines of your lips and give the illusion of a hydrated pout. I finished one whole tube (original size not the bday gift mini one) and my lips have needed less applications throughout the day. the condition of my dry lips have actually improved, thus one tube lasts me even longer now.took me 9 months to finish my intense therapy one. and I applied it almost everyday.

They buy and sell various items (cosmetics, clothing) and manufacture soap and sounbala.
In order to increase their working capital, the group decided to join the Soro Yiriwaso loan program and are on their 3rd loan, having properly repaid the previous two loans.
Madam Awa (the first woman on the left in the photo) is a major producer of sounbala, a popular food condiment made from nere beans. Awa is in great demand as she is appreciated for the quality of her products.
She plans to use her loan to buy 200 kilos of nere beans. She buys them from local wholesalers and after processing the beans she retails the resulting sounbala for cash or credit to both men and women customers.
With this loan, Mrs Awa hopes to achieve an average monthly profit of 30,000 FCFA to be used for reinvestment into her business and also take care of some household needs.
Dans le but d'augmenter leurs fonds de commerce, les membres du groupe ont décidé d'intégrer le programme crédit de Soro Yiriwaso et sont à leur 3 eme prêt solidaire, après avoir correctement remboursés les 2 précédents.
Madame, Awa (première femme à gauche sur la photo) est une grande transformatrice de grains de néré en Sounbala, un condiment alimentaire très prisé. Awa est très sollicitée et appréciée pour la qualité de ses produits.
Elle compte utiliser son prêt pour acheter, 200 kilos de grains de néré. Elle s'approvisionne auprès des grossistes de la place et effectue ses ventes, après transformation des grains de néré en Sounbala, en détail, au comptant et à crédit à une clientèle composée d'hommes et de femmes.
Avec ce prêt, Madame Awa espère réaliser un bénéfice mensuel moyen de 30.000 FCFA qui sera utilisé pour être réinvesti dans l'activité et prendre en charge certains besoins du foyer.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Dalton's Gold Rush Trail: Exploring the Route of the Klondike Cattle Drives
By Michael Gates (Harbour Publishing)
The blurb: Despite its short existence between 1897 and when it was superceded by the Chilkoot and White trails in 1903, the Dalton Trail was a flashpoint for conflict with local Natives, border disputes between Canada and the U.S. and the jump-off point for a gold strike.
Excerpt: "(Jack) Dalton's temper and the simmering threat of trouble from the Chilkats came together with the tragic consequences in the spring of 1893. On March 6 at about ten o'clock in the morning, Daniel McGinnis, a twenty-seven-year-old clerk in the store belonging to Murray's cannery at Chilkat, was sitting and talking to a customer named Patrick Woods. Dalton walked into the store, accompanied by a local trader named Dickinson and a group of Chilkats. According to the testimony of witnesses given later, he strode across the room, passed the counter and came to a stop in front of McGinnis. He didn't waste words:
" 'What's this I hear McGinnis about you talking to those Indians about my going inside?' "
Alaska Curiosities
By B.B. Mackenzie (Globe Pequot Press, $15.95)
The blurb: This humorous compendium highlights the quirky characters, roadside oddities and other off-beat things found in Alaska.
Excerpt: "We know Santa can make reindeer fly, but what happens when they go hoof to toe with a bunch of crazy-costumed Alaskans bent on showing their speed, agility, resilience, or just plain zaniness?
"To discover the scientific answer to that question may or may not have been the goal of a couple local Anchorage disc jockeys, Bob Lester and Mark Colavecchio, who proposed adding a Running of the Reindeer event to the annual Fur Rendezvous (known as Fur Rondy) festivities in Anchorage. Or perhaps they were just looking for a good laugh, which is in fact what this event delivers."
Write Hard, Die Free
By Howard Weaver (Epicenter Press, $14.95)
The blurb: Howard Weaver began working for the Anchorage Daily News as a 21-year-old reporter, and 23 years later he led the publication in a newspaper war against the long-dominant Anchorage Times.
Excerpt: "In the early 1970s Alaska was poised between its gold-rush past and the coming tumult of trans-Alaska pipeline construction, a coltish adolescent society where the booze, gambling and prostitution of its past were beginning to seem a quaint legacy in light of tougher, bloodier operations then emerging. It was a splendid time to be a crime reporter.
"I wanted to refer to Anchorage's traditional criminal establishement as 'disorganized crime' to distinguish it from the tougher new guys, but the editors wouldn't allow it. Still, the old guard remained my primary focus in early years, a deeply rooted and uniquely local brand of roués, pimps, and con men who operated essentially in the open, a fact of life most Anchorage citizens would readily acknowledge."
Compiled by Matt Sullivan, Anchorage Daily News

The case may have gone ice-cold, but the connection between a veteran detective and a rookie agent was burning hot!
Cameron Hughes never thought he'd meet his match in a determined--but inexperienced--undercover agent with a heart of gold. Somehow, though, Lily Christides had got under the detective's incredibly thick skin and wouldn't let go. Now, as they worked 24/7 on two unsolved cases, Cam was finding it increasingly difficult to resist taking her to bed and driving her to the point of no return. Then an elusive killer made it known Lily was next on his list, and Cam's passion turned to protection. Cam knew being her personal bodyguard was the best chance they had at containing the threats to her life. But what force was strong enough to contain their barely controlled attraction?

Is the integral of 1/x
ln x og log x?
The integral is lnx.
d/dx ln(x)= dy/dx
so dy/dx=1/x
Possible cause of the confusion: some texts, especially advanced texts, use "log" to mean the natural logarithm (ln) rather than the common logarithm (base 10). Common logarithms are seldom used now.
In general, since loga(x)= ln(x)/ln(a),
[tex]\frac{d log_a(x)}{dx}= \frac{1}{x ln(a)}[/tex]
Of course, ln(e)= 1 so that reduces to the 1/x for the derivative of ln(x).
That is not a proof at all. The natural number e is found with the definition of ln, the integral of 1/x. There is no "proof", it's a definition to start with. The only thing that needs to be proven is that ln behaves as a logarithmic function.
Whatever dude.
It's a proof given the defn. d/dx e^x=e^x and defining ln to be the inverse operation to e^.
I agree that you could define ln(x) by its derivative. A check on Wikipedia shows both definitions.
If you define ln(x) from its derivative- it remains to be shown that e^ln(x)=x. The proof is essentially the same as I gave- working the other way.
I remember mathwonk saying things are much easier and more rigourous if the ln function is defined as
[tex]\int_1^x \frac{1}{t} dt = \ln x[/tex]. From this definition we can define its base, and we Euler decided to call it e. So e can be defined to be the number which fulfills the condition that
[tex]\int_1^e \frac{1}{x} dx = 1[/tex]
That is eqivalent to the definition that e is the unique number that fulfills [tex]\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{e^h -1}{h} = 1 [/tex].
Definitons of e and Ln are not hard to make. The real challenge is to prove alternate definitons are in fact eqivalent. Wergs why makes things much easier.
That's fine. You have to define ln(x) somehow. I prefer to define it as the inverse operation to e^x, and then derive the integral of 1/x from there.
So, in fact, my full defn. would start from showing that e^x satisfies certain properties and working upwards- whereas you're starting from the other end and working backwords.
Either way is fine- and off the point, which was really the distinction between ln x and log x!
The reason mathwonk says that defining ln x in terms of the integral is easier, and I agree, is that it avoids having to prove that
[tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac{a^x- a}{x}[/tex]
[tex]\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{e^{x+h} - e^x}{h}
= e^x \lim_{h\to 0} \frac{e^h -1}{h}[/tex]
Did you mean 1 or instead of a, or am i missing something?
Yes, I meant
[tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac{a^x-1}{x}[/tex]
Separate names with a comma.

Still in the Grip of Kitsch, and Other News
December 17, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- The origins of Times New Roman, the trustiest typeface of the PC era: "Times New Roman began as a challenge, when esteemed type designer Stanley Morison criticized London's newspaper The Times for being out-of-touch with modern typographical trends. So The Times asked him to create something better. Morison enlisted the help of draftsman Victor Lardent and began conceptualizing a new typeface with two goals in mind: efficiency—maximizing the amount of type that would fit on a line and thus on a page—and readability."
- A history of kitsch and its enduring power: "Kitsch is not about the thing observed but about the observer. It does not invite you to feel moved by the doll you are dressing so tenderly, but by yourself dressing the doll. All sentimentality is like this—it redirects emotion from the object to the subject, so as to create a fantasy of emotion without the real cost of feeling it. The kitsch object encourages you to think, 'Look at me feeling this—how nice I am and how lovable.' "
- Great moments in swearing: an utterance in John Carpenter's The Thing helped define our sense of a treasured obscenity. "The fuckin' in 'You gotta be fuckin' kidding' is surplus to compositional meaning but crucial to the moment and the encounter. Its trochee supplies essential force to the line's measured disbelief, extending Palmer's (and by extension the group's) appalled bewilderment at the boggling form of their alien enemy."
- A new book purports to bust the stereotypes behind archaeology: "the work is often poorly paid, physically demanding, and prone to controversy … the unemployment rate in the field [is] at about fifty per cent." (This piece, to its great credit, mentions Indiana Jones zero times.)
- The best defense for research: "It's in the archive where one forms a scholarly self—a self that, when all goes well, is intolerant of weak arguments and loose citation and all other forms of shoddy craftsmanship; a self that doesn't accept a thesis without asking what assumptions and evidence it rests on; a self that doesn't have a lot of patience with simpleminded formulas and knows an observation from an opinion and an opinion from an argument."
Typographic Sanity
October 1, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
There's a post over at Print Magazine about Frank Romano's new book, History of the Linotype Company, which chronicles the rise and decline of the Linotype, a "glorious contraption" that was not so very long ago the industry standard for printing newspapers, magazines, catalogs, you name it. I'd be lying if I said I knew how it worked—to look at it is to imagine it taking your hand off—but fortunately there's Wikipedia, which explains:
The linotype machine operator enters text on a ninety-character keyboard. The machine assembles matrices, which are molds for the letter forms, in a line. The assembled line is then cast as a single piece, called a slug, of type metal in a process known as "hot metal" typesetting. The matrices are then returned to the type magazine from which they came, to be reused later. This allows much faster typesetting and composition than original hand composition in which operators place down one pre-cast metal letter, punctuation mark or space at a time.
The machine was invented by Ottmar Mergenthaler, a German immigrant who set up shop in Brooklyn. At the height of its powers, it was used in eighty-six countries and in 850 languages. And the public domain is teeming with miscellany from the Mergenthaler Company, which produced an endless succession of handbooks, manuals, brochures, and pamphlets, among them Linotype's Shining Lines, a sort of trade magazine with impeccably designed cover art:
What Silence Looks Like, and Other News
July 11, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Allan Ahlberg, a British author who's written more than 150 children's books, declined a lifetime-achievement award (and a nice cash prize) because Amazon sponsors it.
- In the silent-film era, a movie's typeface was a crucial part of its identity. Now, a type designer in Minneapolis has tried to re-create the font from The Good Bad Man, a Douglas Fairbanks vehicle from 1916. "In 1916 the titles would have been painted or drawn on a smooth surface and then photographed with the motion-picture camera. There were no optical printers in those days, so the titles would literally have been shot by someone hand cranking a motion-picture camera."
- In Athens, the Caryatid statues (five maidens "among the great divas of ancient Greece") have emerged from a three-year cleaning with "their original ivory glow."
- "Movies, if they're very good, aren't a conversation; they're an exaltation, a shuddering of one's being, something deeply personal yet awesomely vast. That's what criticism exists to capture. And it's exactly what's hard to talk about, what's embarrassingly rhapsodic, what runs the risk of seeming odd, pretentious, or gaseous at a time of exacting intellectual discourse."
- A friendly reminder: your brain is on the brink of chaos.
Cryptozoology in Texas, and Other News
April 10, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Gabriel García Márquez was in the hospital last week, but now he's out and on the mend, albeit in "delicate" condition. We wish him a speedy recovery.
- Poor Comic Sans, the common man's font, the bane of designers and typographers everywhere, has gotten a facelift: say hello to Comic Neue.
- A news station in Texas has, with its "reporting," stoked the flames of the legend of the chupacabra. "Jackie and Bubba believed they'd stumbled upon a Latin American vampire beast that guzzles the blood of livestock. They decided to take it as a pet."
- Are English departments in jeopardy? Some professors think so. "Literary studies is being 'devalued and dismissed' as a result of English departments' being 'reconceived as being primarily in the business of teaching expository writing.' Furthermore, he wrote, there's an insidious rush 'to make literary studies an outpost of "digital scholarship."'"
- A new photo exhibit by John Goodman (no, not that John Goodman): "Together at last. Boxers and ballerinas. Those two great seemingly Yin-Yang forces of the physical—the soft, fluid Terpsichore and the aggressive Herakles …"

Scott Adams "is a VERY tough act to follow." --Suzanne Tobin, Washington Post
In the tradition of The Complete Far Side and The Complete Calvin and Hobbes, Dilbert 2.0 celebrates the 20th anniversary of Scott Adams's Dilbert, the touchstone of office humor.
This special slipcased collection-weighing in at more than ten pounds with 600 pages and featuring almost 4,000 strips-takes readers behind the scenes and into the early days of Scott Adams's life pre-Dilbert and on to the success that followed when Dilbert became an internationally syndicated sensation.
Divided into five different epochs, Dilbert 2.0 gives readers a glance at some of Adams's earliest strips, like those created for Playboy, and a peek at an abundance of special content ranging from numerous rejection letters to Adams's first cartooning check, and more.
Adams personally selected the material for this collection and offers original comments and humorous asides throughout. Also included is a disc that contains every Dilbert comic strip to April 2008.
