MST Student Develops Adobe-Learning Unit, Aug. 14, 2001
or "Playing with Dirt"
SOCORRO, N.M., Aug. 14, 2001 - A New Mexico teacher has developed a teaching unit on adobe that will be published and made available to teachers nationwide by Wards Scientific, a well-known educational publisher and supplier. Carla Ingram Ludwig, a Farmington teacher, completed work on a unit called " Adobe Rock'N Roll" while finishing her Master of Science Teaching (MST) degree at New Mexico Tech. Ludwig was informed recently that Wards has decided to include the unit in their 2002 catalog of products for teachers.
"Adobe Rock'N Roll" is an earth-science unit that incorporates social sciences, math, language, history, and art, all under the topic of learning to build with adobe. Ludwig and colleague Kathy Price, the coordinator for gifted education for Bloomfield schools, have presented the unit at several conferences of the National Science Teachers Association.
"Everybody likes to play in the dirt," says Ludwig. "We've used this unit with elementary, junior high, and high school students, and they all loved using it."
Ludwig has most recently taught high school science at Piedra Vista in Farmington, but this fall she will return to teaching fifth grade at Northeast Elementary. She entered New Mexico Tech's MST program in 1999 and that summer was part of a group of teachers who traveled to Ghana to study impacts of science teaching within a different culture. The trip was a Department of Education Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad Program. In Ghana, she became fascinated with adobe structures, which are traditional dwellings there, as they are in New Mexico. When she returned, she decided to expand the teaching unit on adobe as part of the requirement for her MST degree from New Mexico Tech.
As Ludwig explains it, the unit starts with distinguishing between dirt and soil; conducting a comparative analysis of soils. Students try to predict what type of material is going to make best adobe brick, and then proceed to make and test bricks. Using different types of stabilizers and drying times, and building very small bricks with short drying times, they develop several types of bricks. Next, they run a variety of tests, from driving a nail into a brick to dropping water on it to piling books on top of it.
"In one high school class, we piled chemistry books on top of the tiny brick until they reached up to the ceiling," recalls Ludwig. "A well-made brick doesn't break."
Once students have determined the best "recipe" for an adobe brick, their culminating activity is to make a small building. The students develop a design, manufacture the miniature bricks, and build the structure with adobe "mortar." They are awarded a certificate for being a master brick maker: Adobera Maestra or Adobero Maestro. Along the way, the teacher brings in the history, geography, and culture of people who build with adobe, mathematical principles needed for testing and building, terms such as vigas and latillas, and other information.
Ludwig says "One of things I appreciate about New Mexico Tech's Master of Science Teaching program is that it affords teachers the chance to learn content - not just how you teach but what you teach. I have some really bright students who ask penetrating questions, and this gives me the background to answer them."
New Mexico Tech's MST program offers a variety of two-week courses available during the summer. The courses focus on science, math, computer science, and technical communication.

What kind of sauce bottles do you use?
Do you have any shortcuts for holding sauce? I read on another bento site that you can sneak those little paper cups for ketchup from fast food places, but I never go to those anyways.
I want to bring ketchup for my mini-burgers tomorrow but I haven't decided what sauce bottles I want yet so I have none...
Ketchup is viscous like mayo, so I usually use a mayo cup with a wide mouth and a fliptop lid, rather than a squeeze bottle type thing, just because they are easier to clean. Like the ones in the foreground in this picture.
(edited...wtf I wrote Ketchup is vicious...slapping self)
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
How about silicone mini-muffin cups? No lid, but they would work as well as those paper cups from fast food places.
When taking mini-burgers, I usually just pack them with the sauce already on.
(edited...wtf I wrote Ketchup is vicious...slapping self)
I'm really sorry, Maki; I couldn't resist. Does anyone remember Attack of the Killer Tomatoes?
I read "vicious" eventhough maki wrote "viscous". And I thought of the same too!!! xDDD
My bento blog: http://justbento.com/blog/1305
My art blog: http://jizaacaso.deviantart.com
That's exactly what I use for bringing ketchup along with my lunch. Silicone muffin cups disappointed me when I baked with them, so now I use them mostly for ingredients I measure out, ready to pour into the pot/pan, and tugging in a bento box.
I finally picked out some sauce containers! I wanted something cute, but not saccarine:
They are in the mail now :D
I don't carry ketchup nor mayo (i'm afraid they'll go bad!! >_<) but when i carry dressings for my salads i usually put it the smallest tupper-like-ware i have, bought at Ikea. It's too big anyway and I'm thinking of other possibilities... Like even a smaller tight-close container. I'll do my research.
Also, I'm always afraid of it getting open and staining my brand-new isolated bento bag! >_<
I own some soy sauce fishes but never use them. mostly because i hardly put soy sauce to my food (i hardly cook sushi for my go-to-work bentos), and if i do, it's in the form of dressing for salads so it goes in my small tupper thingie.
What I do is to put philadelphia cheese and hummus in ultra-small silicon cups i bought at a store in Madrid (entry #22 in my blog here at justbento is an example). they were sold as mini-muffin cups, but i thought "hey, cheap bento gear!!!" **dancing**
I put ketchup and other thick dressings into 1-oz snap top containers from the Container Store. Found in the Travel section, they are under $1 and food-safe. They look a little bland, so I've started putting stickers on them. -- Still waiting for lawyer hubby to ask about those black & white pigs (Monokuro Boo)
Check out a camping or sporting goods store in your area. Hikers will usually repackage food, etc., and you can often find sets of food grade plastic bottles in various sizes. I recently bought a set in Dick's Sporting Goods that had 7 different bottles with interchangeable lids, including 2 of the flip-up squirt variety, that are the perfect size for a bento. The whole set was under $6.
I was in my absolute favorite place to shop in the world yesterday and I had a kind of "DUH!" moment! I stopped at the DollarTree to pick up some mini-cupcake-cups and sandwich-cutters I saw the week before.
I went to the sporting goods store next to it to look into Javaman's suggestion. I saw the kit he mentioned but I felt it was not calling me to it (I always wait a week before making any purchase outside of my standard food staples.)
As I was walking back past the $Tree, I noticed there were little vending machines near the exit, the kind that have candy and toys for children. That was when I had my AHA! Moment!
Inside the $.50 machine were assorted crappy cheap toys - encased in plastic bubbles, just the right size to fit inside my lunchbox!
So if you are looking for a cheap solution for katchup or mayo, try one of these!
My boyfriend also suggested plastic easter eggs.

text: http://space-simulator.lanl.gov/ The Space Simulator is a 294-processor Beowulf cluster. It is based on the Shuttle XPC SS51G mini chassis, which uses a heat pipe instead of a CPU fan. The small size of the XPC cases allowed us to fit the cluster in about half the space of the previous 144-processor Avalon cluster. Each node consists of a 2.53 GHz Pentium 4 processor, 1 Gb of 333 MHz DDR SDRAM, an 80 Gbyte Maxtor hard drive, and a 3Com 3C996B-T gigabit ethernet card. The cost of an individual node was less than $1000. The network switch is composed of a Foundry FastIron 1500 switch trunked to another FastIron 800 switch, which provides a total of 304 Gigabit Ethernet ports using the 16-port JetCore modules. The system was delivered in late September, 2002. It achieved Linpack performance of 665.1 Gflops on 288 processors in October 2002, making it the 85th fastest computer in the world according to the TOP500 list. The Space Simulator Cluster is dedicated to performing computational astrophysics simulations in the Theoretical Astrophysics group (T-6) at Los Alamos National Laboratory. It is a follow-on to the Loki and Avalon clusters. Michael S. Warren, mswarren at lanl.gov Chris Fryer, fryer at lanl.gov M.

How To Relax During Cancer Treatment?
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am feeling very stressed about my cancer diagnosis. What is the best way to relax?
Michael Baime, MD, Director, Penn Program for Mindfulness , responds:
It's a really good question, and like most good questions, there isn't a simple answer. Here are some thoughts. First of all, take some time to think about what helps YOU the most. Then, make sure that you make that activity a priority. Cancer treatment is intensely demanding; you can become so busy with all of the activity of appointments, tests, and treatments that you don't set aside the time that you need to renew and restore your own resources for coping.
Some things that many people find helpful include time with loved ones, yoga and meditation, gentle exercise, counseling, and medication. No one answer is right for everyone. Maybe the most important thing is to accept that this period will have turbulent moments. It's just the truth of how things are right now. But even the most difficult moment doesn't last. Keep breathing, do whatever it is that you find helps the most, and remember that by taking care of yourself you are doing one of the most important things. You are the person who knows best how to take care of yourself. We train cancer patients in mindfulness meditation as a tool for coping; more information is available on our web site, www.pennhealth.org/mindfulness.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. See the full transcript from IntegrativeTherapies in Cancer Care.

Story highlights
- "Who doesn't want to protect their own privacy?" the actress asks
- Hackers allegedly stole nude photos from her phone and posted them online
- She was in Kenya as an Oxfam ambassador
Speaking out for the first time since nude pictures of her were leaked on the Internet, actress Scarlett Johansson defended the right to privacy, even for high-profile celebrities such as herself.
Asking why protecting privacy is important is a redundant question, she told CNN's David McKenzie.
"Who doesn't want to protect their own privacy?" she said. "Just because you're an actor or make films or whatever doesn't mean you're not entitled to your own personal privacy. If that is sieged in some way, it feels unjust. It feels wrong.'
Johansson sat down for an interview with CNN in Nairobi, Kenya, following a visit with the humanitarian group Oxfam to see first-hand the impact of the drought and famine that has hit the Horn of Africa.
Her trip came after hackers allegedly stole nude photos from Johansson's cell phone and posted them online earlier this month. The 26-year-old actress has never appeared fully nude in any of her films.
She told CNN that she traveled to Kenya to highlight the depth of human suffering. The "Lost in Translation" and "Girl With a Pearl Earring" star has been an Oxfam ambassador since 2004.
"What struck me the most is the fact that people are just surviving," she said. "They are in sort of a state of limbo."
She said she was touched by the harrowing stories of many of the people she met at refugee camps, including a woman who was forced to leave her handicapped child behind in her search for food.
She said the world was increasingly becoming a smaller place and urged people to get involved with helping others.
"It feels just as wonderful to give as it does to receive," she said.

Gar Secrist
Life at hydrothermal vents
Gar Secrist says that he spent his summer at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) working on "sandwiches." His weren't ordered in from a deli, but rather retrieved from the seafloor. One look at the tubeworm-encrusted plastic devices he studied—called "sandwiches" and used to collect organisms from seafloor hydrothermal vents—would distract even the most determined of appetites.
Secrist, an ecological biologist, worked with WHOI biologist Lauren Mullineaux, who was a Summer Student Fellow herself as an undergraduate. Her laboratory collected more than 30 sandwiches from P-Vent on the East Pacific Rise mid-ocean ridge. Secrist's task was to study and count the variety of creatures on the sandwiches through a microscope.
With this data, scientists hope to gain a better understanding about how animal populations recolonize hydrothermal vents after seafloor communities are wiped out by volcanic eruptions. Secrist also compared data on the temperatures and sulfide levels in fluids spewing from the vents to see whether certain organisms may prefer certain vent chemistries.
Before this summer, Secrist had been to sea with WHOI's neighbor, Sea Education Association, which introduced him to oceanography and marine ecology. Secrist credits this summer's work with granting him a new enthusiasm for marine science and the new frontiers being explored in oceanography at WHOI.
"I'm seriously considering a future in marine biology now," said Secrist. "With this project I've had more independence than in other labs. I've been able to look at data and figure out for myself what I'm interested in studying, which has been beneficial."
Secrist graduated in May with a biology degree from Maryville College, located near his home of Knoxville, Tenn. He plans to spend this fall working at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center's Marine Invasions Research Lab in California before applying to graduate schools in biology. He plays the cello and is learning the piano, enjoys hiking and camping, and exploring the Woods Hole area and other parts of the Northeast.

Miley Cyrus/Robin Thicke at the VMAs
Please resist the urge to pluck the lowest of all low-hanging fruit this Halloween season. Whatever you think you're making an irreverent comment on (Miley, the VMAs, the music industry, the MAN), rest assured that this is exactly what they want you to dress up as. Don't be a pawn of the system. And don't make us look at your butt in a plastic beige bikini.
Blue Ivy/North West
You know that even rappers' babies are real people, right? Actual humans. Not toys for you to trot out your knowledge of in the service of showing off how winkingly "with it" you are. (If you MUST wear a diaper and a blingy medallion, at least go as something halfway creative like "Pee Diddy." Or "IncontinEminem," or "Whiz Khalifa." "Crawl-DMC." "Ol' Dirty Diaper." "Pooplic Enemy." SEE HOW EASY THIS IS?)
Cory Monteith/James Gandolfini
Again, REAL PEOPLE. If you're trying to make light of their death, you're a dick. If you're trying to do some kind of weird misguided-but-well-intentioned tribute to them, just write a long navel-gazing Facebook status about what their career meant to you, like every other dumdum you know.
Racist Paula Deen
Are you dead-set on getting beat up this Halloween? If not, you probably don't want a costume that necessitates shouting racial slurs throughout the night.
The New Pope
A timely and fun costume if your Halloween party is being held last March.
The Royal Baby
See Blue Ivy/North West. Just because people know about a certain baby does not mean you should dress up as that baby. Additionally, no one wants to hear your British accent.
Candy Crush
"LOL omg sooo addictive this game is like crack!" *Passes actual crack-addicted person on street, thinks about stopping to help another human soul in need but doesn't because is already late for Halloween party.*
Dressing up as the internet publicity stunt that someone just fooled you with is like high-fiving the bully who just gave you a wedgie.
Amanda Bynes
OHHHH, it's funny because she's mentally ill! I get it now. Scratch what I said before. This is a great costume.
The Red Wedding
While you get points for the creativity of dressing up as an event rather than a character, you are still guilty of some terrible nerd pandering. It would be like if I said this costume is about as dumb as Joffrey's face, you know? We all hate Joffrey. Aim higher.
The Boston Bomber
You may already have a sneaking suspicion that this costume is morally repugnant and grossly disrespectful to the victims and their families, but have you also considered that it's pretty much just typical college attire? A sweatshirt, backpack and backwards cap do not make a costume; they make a lazy asshole.
Edward Snowden
What you're trying to say with this costume: "I follow current events." What you're actually saying: "I do not look my best in hair gel, half-rimmed glasses and a patchy goatee."
A Millennial
Real clever, Mr. I-Don't-Want-to-Make-an-Effort-But-I-Still-Want-to-Be-Allowed-Into-the-Costume-Party. But a REAL Millenial would stay home on social media instead of ruining the party for the rest of us.

We've known for months that Intel was going to enter the solid-state drive (SSD) market this year, and the company is almost ready to make good on its plans. At IDF this week, Intel announced that it would launch multiple SSD drives within the next 30 to 90 days. Two of these—the X18-M (1.8") and X25-M (2.5") will be 80GB drives targeted at the (relative) mainstream SSD user, or potential user. Intel may not move beyond 80GB this year, but the company has pledged to deliver 160GB drives before the end of 2009's first quarter.
These two mainstream parts will supposedly feature a 70MB sustained write speed, which is more than enough for an average user. Intel, however, isn't just eyeing the mainstream market; the company also intends to launch an enterprise-class part. The X25-E Extreme will arrive in a 32GB flavor within the next three months, and should scale to 64GB within Q1 2009. Intel hasn't revealed pricing on this SSD, either, but information from IDF suggests the "Extreme" drives will be capable of sustained writes at 170MB/s. As we've previously covered, both Intel and Sun believe SSDs will begin to find a home in the enterprise data center in 2008, and Santa Clara is keen on capturing part of that revenue stream straight from the get-go.
Now that Intel's hat is in the ring, the company intends to stay long-term. These new products are just the first iteration of Intel products, and the company has stated that it eventually plans to offer SSDs priced into every market segment. PC Magazine has some additional details on battery life and performance (as measured by Intel, natch) for the curious.

CARSON, Calif. – Initial impressions of Thursday's CONCACAF Champions League Group 8 finale between the LA Galaxy and El Salvador's Isidro Metapan (7 p.m., Fox Sports 2, Univision Deportes) would appear to indicate there is not much to play for. But that is hardly the case.
The Galaxy have already clinched their group and a third straight berth in the quarterfinals thanks to a perfect 3-0-0 record to this point of the competition. But while their quarterfinal berth is assured, they are now focused on achieving the best seed possible as they head into the next round of the competition, which begins in March 2014.
The only MLS team to have already qualified for the quarterfinals, LA are one of three teams with a 3-0-0 record in the Champions League Group Stage. Yet to concede a goal in the competition, the Galaxy enter the final set of games knowing that a fourth win over Metapan in two years would guarantee the club of at least a top three seed heading into the knockout rounds.
"Bruce (Arena) gave us a breakdown of the point situation," midfielder Michael Stephens said. "It's important as far as seeding goes that we finish strong to set ourselves up for the next round."
Stephens, one of two players to start all three of the club's group stage games and has played in a club record 17 Champions League games for the Galaxy,
This is the second meeting of the 2013-14 Champions League between the Galaxy and Metapan with LA claiming a 1-0 win at StubHub Center on Sept. 18 thanks to an early Laurent Courtois goal. The two sides also met in the group stage of the 2012-13 Champions League with LA winning 5-2 at home before earning a 3-2 win in El Salvador behind a pair of Jack McBean goals. While that game was played at Metapan's typical home of Estadio Jorge Calero Suarez in Metapan, Thursday's game will be played two hours away at Estadio Cuscatlán in the capital city of San Salvador.
Veteran midfielder Pablo Mastroeni, who has also started all three of the LA's Champions League matches, said he expects Isidro Metapan to give a strong effort, even though the winless Salvadoran side (0-2-1) has long since been eliminated from the competition.
"There's a lot of pride in football all over the world," he said. "When you're at home you want to protect your home turf and put on a good performance for the club and the fans who support you.
"It may not make sense to the media or people on the outside, but there's always something bigger than yourself to play for. It's going to be a very competitive game.
"They're definitely not going to lie down."
Stephens, who scored the game winning goal when the Galaxy beat Metapan on the road last year, echoed those sentiments.
"They're at home, they have pride, it's never an easy game when you go to Central America," he said. "We're expecting a good game from them."
And, in that regard, Stephens emphasized the Galaxy will be well-prepared.
"We'll be ready to go. Everybody's ready," he said.

PROVIDENCE, R.I.—In a lengthy match that was far closer than the final score indicated, Rhode Island College (2-4, 1-3) defeated UMass Boston (1-3, 0-1) 9-0 at the RIC Tennis Courts Saturday afternoon.
After dropping two of the first three doubles points, Wendy Steinman (Dudley, Mass.) and Imani Williams (Roxbury, Mass.) went deep into a tiebreaker at number two doubles against Chelsea Brown and Gianna Vallante. When all was said and done, the Anchorwomen pair edged Williams and Steinman 9-8 by virtue of a 19-17 tiebreaker.
Singles play would feature three more lengthy super tiebreakers at number one, number three and number six singles. Hieu Nguyen (Dorchester, Mass.) took set number one at number one singles, before falling to Sadie Campanella 6-7, 6-4, 10-7. Steinman was even closer at number three singles, falling 2-6, 7-5, 10-8 to Tressa Cannata. And freshman Stephony Reeves (Dorchester, Mass.) just missed out on her first collegiate victory, as she dropped her number six singles tilt by a 7-6, 4-6, 10-5 score.
The Beacons will stay on the road and continue conference play on Tuesday when they travel to Gorham, Maine for a 3:30 p.m. match against the University of Southern Maine.

From the Office of the County Clerk - G157: Astros @ Rangers

I like the man of the match! Lets be positive...... Btw.... Where's Wallace? Haven't seen him play in a week.

I don't want to hear someone root for a high draft pick again after this season. There really isn't anything more pathetic. Sooooooooo sick of losing all the freaking time.
- September 24, 2013 at 12:54 AM
I agree, that attitude is in bad taste.
Also, at some point, I would like the Crane/Luhnow supporters/apologists to address whether this season was worth it. By tanking it, or refusing to invest at all in the current roster, did the Astros lose fans in an amount large enough to impact ticket sales far into the future and/or lose enough interest to make any kind of acceptable TV impossible. If so, has the strategy effectively solidified the franchise to functioning as a small-market club for the next decade?
If general, the question to be revisted is whether this particular style of rebuild is penny wise/pound foolish, or is it still genius?

Anonymous #2, I thoroughly agree. I didn't want another #1 draft pick this year, at all. But we got it anyway, so we might as well make the best use of it.
Anonymous #1, Brett Wallace spun himself like a drill bit into the ground after all those K's in Cleveland and has yet to be unearthed. Excavation crews are en route.
- September 24, 2013 at 8:54 AM
Brett "The Whiff" Wallace doesn't even deserve a flight outta Houston --- put him in the cargo-hold of a Greyhound bus! He strikes out like Brad Ausmus with men on 3rd base!
I've been a diehard fan since 1985... This season is equivalent to 162 days worth of enemas! We need to end this season like Custer's last stand.
I am officially a ticked off 'Stros fan.
See you in Spring Training!
- September 24, 2013 at 9:22 AM
Why do people show up to bitch about Ausmus three times a week? Either you aren't Astros fans or you aren't baseball fans. Ausmus was a good catcher. Ausmus was a good enough hitting catcher. Ausmus did not strike out very much. There are an infinite number of bad Astros to make fun of over the last decade. Pedro Feliz, Jason Michaels,Preston Wilson, Bill Hall, Jason Lane, Tommy Manzella, Jordan Schafer, Angel Sanchez, JR Towles, Chris Snyder, Chris Truby, Eric Munson. The list stretches on ad infinitum. Jokes about Ausmus aren't funny. They don't impress anybody. Find a different joke.

On the Street….. Swede & Sartorial , Ostermalm, Stockholm
CommentsClose comment

I love the slim tie. Is the Beatles' look making a come back?
A very dashing and handsome gentleman! And very well dressed too.
Sorry. This is my favorite kind of look for a man in a suit; simple, dark, tiny touch of color. Beautiful photo, too, with the tangle of bikes and the slice of red sock.
Men in suits give me shivers (of the positive kind!). If only more of them would stick to this type of one/two-button European cut. It gives them a great V-shaped elongated body. [Stay away from the three-button box!!!] Wish you could have taken a back shot – I'm itching to know if it's got a single or double vent.
My only gripe with the photo is the lack of a smile – a guy that looks that good should always be smiling!
The slim tie has been a hit for quite some time in Stockholm. It´s even reached the point where it´s getting a little old and "normal" ties are coming back strong.
Ps. I have a question for the Sart himself.
You have an amazing talent when it comes to finding interesting outfits of different kinds, however I can´t quite put the finger on what your oppinion is on brands like Dsquared and D&G and the look they wanna reach out with. Don´t think I've seen anything from Dsquareds springsummer 07 here.
/Robert of Vasastan, Sweden

Love the length of the trousers. Not too short but enough to be noticed.
i love the suit. the tie…perfect. the clothes fit the personality…its really great, BUT…i never think you score points for bright colored socks. if the clothes are great…you dont need it. if they're not, you look like a clown. its just my opinion, i could be wrong. i do like the photo. the red socks with the bike reflectors…sometimes it just comes together like that.
Haha, how sweet with the red sock :) Classy, anyway.
another man with red socks. nice
I love the little red touch , very cute
love the socks… :-)
I'm heading out today and buying some red socks. I love it!
Cool as a moose–especially the shorter pants and red socks….
Not sure about the sox though…?
Love the socks!
Red socks!!!!
i love the bikes in the back.
It's not a very slim tie, it's just that the small knot make it look slim on top – if that makes sense
And red socks! loooove him.
I just love the bright red socks…just so minimalistically stylish.
Do I see well the red socks?????
brilliant idea. before discovering the socks I thouth…what a boring guy…but now, I am really curious about the underware ;-)
Great look, love the red socks…
Btw, its pretty funny with this Ă–-malm/S-malm beef going on. So typically Swedish, Jantelag is the word of week. Look it up.
Lastly: Sart, I hope you've had the chance to see more of Stockholm than just Ă–stermalm and Södermalm. Would love to see you take some photos of our interesting "förorter".
Fantastic! Love the red socks!
Did you know that tis guy works in the store i reccomend in my email? Gabucci
For your info the suit is a Raffaele Caruso which are doing all of.the-rack suits for Dior..
They work with wonderfull fabrics and are buying a lot from Loro Piana.
Att: Robert of Vasastan.
Read the Sartorialist survey for his opponion on Dolce & Gabbana. I think its mid 2006 in the "archives" section.
It works but it is a uniform.
Not much thought put into this outfit. That's OK, too.
Just a dark suit, white shirt and dark tie.
But because the suit is a bit trendy cut and the fellow has on red socks, well, it saves an otherwise uninteresting outfit.
Still, nothing wrong with the whole look. But Just sort of average.
I am a Swede myself and I think it's very interesting to see the comments made by some of my fellow countrymen. I've never ever seen these kinds of comments ever before on your blog, so therefore I must come to the conclusion that this is something typically Swedish.
We are a very socialist country, ruled by the same socialist party 90% of the time since the 1930s. Our mentality is the one of the "Jante-law", a law which says that people should never try to make themselves better than they are. Our society is the opposite of the American, where individuality and excentricity is praised and supported.
Therefore I find it interesting, when a man from abroad with an objective mind, and who is also guru of style and clothing comes to our country. The "brats" of Stureplan and Ă–stermalm, gets an acknowledgement from an objective source because much of their style and way of dressing is immaculate and indeed very stylish.
Maybe this comes as a shock for bohemian leftist people from Södermalm as well as from the suburbs.
This is also a sign of the ambiguity of the Swedish society, and just comes to show that we are a divided society when it comes to style, and politics. Unfourtunately, insisting on having this "beef" on this forum, is not very respectful to The Sartorialist, who is a guest in our country. I can't help feeling somewhat ashamed of the way some of my countrymen are acting.
Regarding the picture. Gotta love the slim ties.
LOVE the red socks! Beautifully done!
A very sleek gentleman, indeed. Minimal is so good!
What a gorgeous Swede!!!! Love the outfit.
If you think is in average look then you work somewhere very very different from me. In the City (London) all the guys wear suits and *none* of them look this sharp…
att: Anonymous
Achived thoughts from last summer wasn´t what I was hoping for but thanks anyway :)
att: Anders
Even if I can agree to most of what your saying, to be honest your the one making a bigger deal out of it than anyone else :)
oh and by the way. This Ostermalm VS Sodermalm debate is cute but what about Vasastan? I guess Mr Sart was very busy during his stay in Stockholm and never visited the calmer parts of Vasastan. Would have been interesting to see his reflections and views of what he would catch on film over here. :)
ps. That looks like a Swedish made suite, my wild guess is Tiger of Sweden.
Like the red socks ;)
with all do respect to the beautiful swede, but i think i should say this, since your blog is my fashion-go-to, and because she is a true inspiration for all fashionistas.
rest peacefully madame blow.
I like how you snapped with one red sock peekinga dn the colors of the bikes in the background, it made the model more interesting.
I'd have an easier time with the red socks if there was another little flash of red in his outfit to balance everything.
looks like the Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes – gorgeous!
He looks fantastic!
Love it. Love it. Love it. LOL
Come to Lund and Malmö!
but he looks so sodermalm
cool red sox… I'm a Pink sock guy myself.. uh. yeah.
oooh, red socks!
yes, it'the red socks that takes him to another fashion realm.
To me, the red socks take a generally great outfit and make it HIS great outfit. They say something. They give me hope that bold socks aren't dying… (I was recently scolded for my socks of this hue, though I did not take said scolding lying down…) A very handsome man, to be sure.
DC in Nashville
No, no, no Robert… it is NOT Tiger!
Quoted from above:
"For your info the suit is a Raffaele Caruso which are doing all of.the-rack suits for Dior.."
Way cooler than Tiger!
ah really like the red socks!!
It´s not a Tiger of Sweden suit, this is s suit from Raffaele Caruso
great look! great suite! great socks! but i have a question to you all – this guy really gets away with the length of the trousers but could anyone?
Great look but the red socks somehow ruin it, although I love bright colored socks.
does anyone recognize what label the shoes are? I like this mixture of elegance and sportiveness.
Don't know why but he kind of reminds me of Hugh Grant. Very handsome indeed, quite a gentleman's look.
The shoes look like Crocket & Jones… I am pretty positive about that since I have a couple of pairs myself.
I usually don't like suits but this works–is it because he's very cute and wearing his suit in a casual manner? Love the red socks!
i love him too!
REd sockS!! Holy Cow!
Lovely photo lovely Man
Red socks red bike red lights
These hints of color in what is
a subdued color image
give the shot a vibrancy
and gritty edge
Just the man in his slick suit
My grandparents left Sweden for the US 100 years ago. What were they thinking?
This is my kind of guy. Perhaps it is time to emigrate back to the mother country.
those socks! i dig seeing a man in a suit leave room to play.
Red socks are not just a flash of color, but a way of emphasizing the articulation between leg and foot. This articulation is made possible here most importantly by the short pants and big, well crafted, foot-shaped shoes. Contrast long baggy american trousers practically hiding shrunken business-american shoes.
I work in the store next to that guys store :)

Hi all so have a 01 is200 sport.
Went to try to start it last night, engine turning over but not firing. Noticed red security light on dash was continuously flashing and would not go out when key was inserted. Have tried disconnecting battery for few hours and reconnected but same problem again.
Anyone ever see this issue before or has anyone any ideas what could be causing it?. I have had the key checked at a locksmiths today and they say key is fine and that there is a signal being sent out so surely must be an issue with transponder or ecu?.

The Steelers, who are in need of veteran safety depth, are hosting free agent James Sanders on Thursday, Bob Labriola of Steelers Digest reported.
The 29-year-old Sanders played 15 games as a reserve for Arizona in 2012, notching 19 tackles on defense. He was also a key contributor on special teams. Sanders has made 56 career starts, 50 of which came for New England from 2005-2010. He also had a one-season stint with Atlanta in 2011.
The Steelers have lost their top two reserve safeties in free agency, with Will Allen joining the Cowboys and Ryan Mundy signing with the Giants. Safety depth is especially important for the Steelers with Troy Polamalu missing at least two games in five of the last seven seasons.

Obatma's half-brother, Barack Obama, has received the political endorsement of America's favorite precocious mutant: Bat Boy.
This morning presidential nominee Barack Obama met the half-human half-bat who eagerly gave his endorsement through a series of squeaks and high pitched squeals. It is believed that the revelation of Obama's mutant half-bat half-brother Obatma secured his support.
"This boy is a shining example of the American dream," Obama said at a small press conference held after the meeting.
"Coming from meager beginnings, cast out for who he is, he now enjoys the freedom and limitless possibility granted to every American."
Even insiders are unsure of what was else was said behind closed doors, but assumed talks centered on how to present Bat Boy's status as a mutant and former felon to the American Bible-Belt.
After a great deal of secrecy was used in delivering Bat Boy to the meeting, no such restraint was required in driving him back to his cave. Sources note that Bat Boy repeatedly turned on the sirens, waved at people who noticed him, and put his head out the window to catch mosquitoes in his mouth.

Cohen an Expert and International Leader on Commercial and Contract Law Professor Neil B. Cohen is well-known in the field of contracts and commercial law, having co-authored one of the leading contracts casebooks and written numerous law review articles on these subjects. Perhaps though, he is most widely regarded as an expert in his field because of his involvement in creating international contract and commercial law through several inter-governmental organizations. Professor Cohen has served as a member of the delegation of the United States to the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) and two of its Working Groups with respect to the emerging international law of secured transactions. He has also served as the only American member of a Working Group of the Hague Conference on Private International Law charged with preparing choice of law principles for international commercial contracts, and participated in the preparation of the latest version of Principles of International Commercial Contracts by UNIDROIT (the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law/Institut International Pour L'unification Du Droit Prive), one of two surviving organs of the League of Nations. The goal of these organizations is to modernize and harmonize international law through treaties and conventions, model laws, and statements of principles, by developing fair, neutral principles for the governance of modern commercial transactions. Most recently, Cohen was appointed by the UNIDROIT Secretariat to a commission of experts to prepare a legal guide relating to the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts. Also, he is one of two co-authors of Comparison and Analysis of Major Features of International Instruments Relating to Secured Transactions, a joint publication of UNCITRAL, UNIDROIT, and the Hague Conference that was published this spring by the United Nations. Cohen has received much recognition from the United States government for his work in this area. Since 1995, the State Department has asked him to join the U.S. delegations to UNCITRAL's working groups charged with developing emerging principles of international secured transactions law. In addition, in 2009, he was named to the Secretary of State's Advisory Committee on Private International Law. In this elite capacity, he has advised the State Department on a variety of international treaties and conventions relating to commercial law and contracts. The prestigious American Law Institute has also recognized Cohen's work in this area, initially recommending him to the State Department for participation in the UNCITRAL Working Groups and later appointing him as the Institute's observer for UNIDROIT's work on international commercial contracts. Cohen explains that, in an age of increasing internationalization of transactions, it is more important than ever to know what legal rules govern when there is a transaction between people or companies located in different countries. Establishing these ground rules helps to minimize uncertainty and bring stability to international transactions. Moreover, he adds, modernizing the law in this way is particularly helpful to developing countries because it enables people in those countries to gain the economic benefits of international trade. Cohen has been a member of the faculty since 1979 and has taught commercial law since then. When talking to students about the law of international commercial transactions, he says that "because transactions don't stop at national borders anymore, lawyers' knowledge can't stop at borders either; both in learning the law and developing it, we have to think internationally."

TROY, NY-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's outdoor track and field team turned in a second consecutive strong performance on the second and final day of action at the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference Division III Championships Friday at Rensselaer's Ned Harkness Track.
Senior Robert Yarbough (Fall River, MA/Durfee HS) finished fourth in the shot put at 52 feet, 3 1/4 inches, breaking the school record in the process. It was his first throw that was over 50 feet.
Sophomore Matt Hinthorne (Braintree, MA/Braintree HS) finished seventh at 800 meters in 1:53.16. He won his heat and was the only participant in his heat to place.
Freshman Phito Gondre (New Bedford, MA/New Bedford HS) finished sixth in the 100 meter dash in 11.12 seconds. He also ran 200 meters in 22.17 seconds and finished 11th. Freshman Aaron Amado (Randolph, MA/Thayer Academy) finished ninth in the high jump at 6-3 1/4.
Sophomore Krista Chauvin (Seekonk, MA/Seekonk HS/Stonehill), who presumably qualified for the NCAA Division III Championships in the hammer throw on Thursday, finished ninth in the discus at 128 feet, eight inches. In the shot put, senior Brittany Cole (Dartmouth, MA/Dartmouth HS) finished 18th with a throw of 33-11 1/2.
"I'm very pleased, especially for Rob Yarbough, he's been a four-year member of our team, a captain, and he's just had a wonderful career," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Steve Gardiner. "He set the record on his last throw in the trials, which allowed him to advance to the finals. It was great to see Rob end his career with that type of performance. It was also nice to be at a meet with so many teams in the Northeast and see how important track and field is to them."
Chauvin should represent UMass Dartmouth at next weekend's NCAA Division III Championships at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges in Southern California. The Corsairs will wait to see if anyone else qualifies after all the results are tabulated from meets this weekend.

The Center for Research Libraries is pleased to announce the FY2007 Shared Purchase Program.
With the Shared Purchase Program, the Center supports the cooperative purchase of major costly sets that were nominated and considered for the Purchase Proposal Program, but were not of sufficiently broad interest to warrant purchase under the funds earmarked for that program. Under the Shared Purchase Program the Center allocates additional funds toward the acquisition of works of high interest to a limited number of members, and then enlists those members who wish to provide the remaining funds for the purchase. Participation in the program is voluntary.
Voting and Associate members have until Wednesday, March 28 to contribute to the nine shared purchase items under consideration this year. There were five shared purchases acquired through the program last year.If you have questions about the Shared Purchase Program, please contact Mary Wilke.

I would not last five minutes working in Ambulance Control. I know that there is sometimes a 'them & us' thing between front-line Ambulance crews and those that work in 'Puzzle Palace' but I give them the utmost respect for dealing with these jokers!
A very small sample of the calls I have been called to over the years include the chap who had a headache and could not get the top off his paracetamol container…the lady who wanted her curtains drawing…the woman who had broken a fingernail…someone who wanted us to put their husband to bed…etc etc etc.
But the difference being is that these calls I went to have been over a very long time in service. Command & Control deal with these calls every day and have to try and filter them out!!! We can now build up a case file against the regular abusers of the 999 system but the one-offs get away with their ludicrous demands and suffer no penalty!
Nee Naw did a post on this very subject recently.

Help Feed Local Kids this Holiday Season with the EVSC Backpack Club
We need your help in making sure kids right here in the tri-state are getting good, healthy meals when the school week is over.
Unfortunately for many kids in Evansville, the best (and sometimes only) meals they get are during the school day. Due to tough financial situations at home, where parents are faced with putting food on the table or keeping a roof over the family's head, many of these kids don't get the important nutrition they need on the weekends or over holiday breaks.
State Farm Agent Mary Rokicki and Townsquare Media are proud to help support the Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corporation's Backpack Club. The goal of the Club is to fill backpacks full of non-perishable food items which the EVSC discreetly delivers to the students who need it most.
Food donations can be dropped off at the Townsquare Media offices in downtown Evansville or at the office of State Farm Agent Mary Rokicki on the south end of the Schnuck's complex on North Green River Rd. See map below for directions.
These are the items we're looking for:
- 100% fruit juice in aseptic packaging
- Entrees (shelf stable), i.e. Lunchables or cans in individual serving size
- 2% milk in aseptic packaging
- Small cans of vegetables and fruits
- Oatmeal
- Tuna salad kits
- Cereal bars
- Microwave lunch cups, i.e. ravioli, etc.
- Cereal individual servings in bowls or boxes
- Raisins
- Pop-tarts
- Trail mix
- Soup
- Dried Fruit

Dark Stars
Until March 3
WHAT does it mean that practically all of the hundred or so characters past and present from Neighbours have their own Wikipedia page but Irving Sayles, at one time among the most-famous entertainers in Australia, gets bupkis? That dark stars are indeed hard to see?
Sayles was an African-American performer who, in 1888, at the age of just 16, toured Australia with a minstrel company. Like many black Americans who toured here at that time, he decided to stay, becoming a draw on the Tivoli Circuit.
In this fascinating one-man show, Jonathan Council, also an African-American performer with an ambition to emigrate, compares and contrasts his own life story with Sayles', bringing out several coincidences, and dwelling on some telling distinctions.
Fussy, portly, with a somewhat gluey voice, Council seems a long way from Sayles, by all accounts an acrobatic figure, but he can tell a fine story, and his pathetically close brushes with stardom make a witty foil to Sayles' tragic struggle.
On the one hand, Sayles flatters Australian attitudes towards race. In Australia, he had freedoms at that time unimaginable in parts of the US. On the other, Sayles won favour with his Australian audience by distinguishing his own blackness from that of indigenous Australians.
Arthur Meek, the New Zealand director and playwright who has shaped the narrative, touches on this with an eloquent modesty that amplifies the show's central theme: dignity sacrificed in the quest for fame, but regained in failure.

Alan Highers, the state's longest-serving appellate court judge, will not be seeking re-election to a new eight-year term in the August 2014 elections.
Highers, a graduate of the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law, was appointed to the Appeals Court in 1982 by then-Gov. Lamar Alexander.
He is the third appellate judge to announce he won't stand for re-election.
Fellow Appeals Court Judge Patricia Cottrell is also out as of Aug. 31, 2014, and so is Criminal Appeals Court Judge Joseph M. Tipton.
The timing of the announcements comes as the state statute creating the Judicial Nominating Commission runs out. The law expires at the end of this month. And the Tennessee legislature won't go back into session until January.
The gap means there will be no method in place in the law for filling a vacancy.
So commission members will meet June 29, to send a slate of nominees to Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam for consideration should Highers step down prior to the winner of the August 2014 election taking office. Highers has indicated he intends to serve until Sept. 1, 2014, when the winner of the election takes office. But the elections for appellate judges are retention elections with an incumbent up for a yes or no vote.
Like Highers, Cottrell and Tipton has said they intend to serve until the end of their terms.
The deadline for applications to the nominating commission for Highers' position is noon June 19. The commission will interview the applicants June 29 in Jackson, Tenn., and that same day make its decision on whose names go to Haslam.

The state agency that oversees the welfare of Tennessee children is again at financial odds with news organizations seeking more information.
The Tennessean reported the Department of Children's Services said this week that it would charge $34,952 to produce public records of children who died or nearly died during the past 11 months after having some contact with DCS.
The new fee emerged Wednesday as the newspaper asked for files from July 2012 to May 2013. The two sides were scheduled to go back to court Friday.
Attorney Robb Harvey, who represents a coalition of news organizations, which also includes The Associated Press, said the group would continue to object to "excessive fees that the state is attempting to impose."
A judge earlier struck down DCS' intent to charge more than $55,000 for records – later reduced to $32,000 – and ordered the department to produce them for no more than 50 cents per page.
Tennessee Attorney General Bob Cooper, whose legal team is defending DCS in the public records lawsuit, did not directly respond to a request for comment.
Gov. Bill Haslam also declined comment.

The U.S. economy created 175,000 jobs in May, a solid month of hiring that was spread across a number of industries directly tied to the consumer.
Retail hiring jumped by nearly 28,000 after a gain of 20,000 jobs in April. General merchandise stores, which include Target and Walmart, added nearly 10,000 of those jobs, while clothing stores provided roughly 6,000.
Restaurants also staffed up, creating 38,000 jobs last month. And a category that includes casinos and amusement parks added 12,500 positions.
Many of these are likely low-paying jobs, some without benefits. Still, the growth in those fields suggests businesses expect consumers will keep spending this year, despite paying higher Social Security taxes.
The greatest job growth in May came from business and professional services: 57,000 jobs. While nearly half of those were temporary positions, many were in higher-paying fields like architecture, accounting and management consulting.
The weakest area of the economy continued to be manufacturing and government.
A recent report on the welfare of children in Tennessee highlights the importance of public programs.
State health and child welfare experts on Friday released the latest Kids Count report, which this year examined challenges to raising children in Tennessee, and whether state programs are doing enough to help them.
Among the report's findings was that nearly half of the state's pregnant women don't receive adequate prenatal care, and less than a third of teens from poor families are finding work.
Linda O'Neal is executive director of the Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth and was among those discussing the report.
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul has introduced legislation that would require a warrant before any government agency could search the phone records of Americans.
Responding to the furor over the disclosure of the National Security Agency program, Paul says the bill introduced Friday is intended to stop the NSA from spying on U.S. citizens.
The bill says the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution cannot be misconstrued to allow an unreasonable search and seizure by any agency without a warrant based on probable cause.
The Kentucky Republican calls the latest revelation of a secret program to collect phone records of millions of Verizon customers "an astounding assault on the Constitution."
Tennessee is participating in a national law enforcement initiative to warn consumers about deceptive travel promoters and timeshare resellers.
The initiative is coordinated by the Federal Trade Commission.
Among the allegations are that some timeshare and vacation club companies are using misleading sales tactics to induce consumers into purchasing programs that have high maintenance fees, poor travel date and destination selection, and hidden costs.
Other abuses include cancellation issues, difficulty contacting customer service, and misleading or deceptive high-pressure sales presentations.

LAS VEGAS — Ian Clark is the essence of Summer League.
The 22-year-old out of Belmont was the Ohio Valley Conference co-player of the year. He was a two-time defensive player of the year and a four-time all-conference selection. He never shot below 40 percent in a season from behind the arc.
At the June 27 NBA Draft at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, Clark's name was never called.
Undrafted and looking for his big shot, the unheralded, and mostly unheard of Clark — not Kent Bazemore or Draymond Green, but the 6-foot-3, 175-pound Clark — carried the Golden State Warriors, with seven 3-pointers and a game-high 33 points, to a 91-77 victory over the Phoenix Suns in the inaugural Summer League tournament championship game.
In the NBA playoffs they call that kind of performance a podium game because the player would be asked to appear at the dais to meet the media. In the Summer League, well, let's call it a contract game. It might not come from the Warriors, whose well-stocked backcourt includes the impressive Bazemore (who was also voted to the all-Summer-League team). But there's 29 other NBA teams out there that might want Clark, and only one has to make an offer.
At least a few, according to a Warriors official, have offered Clark at least a partially guaranteed contract. The 2013 Summer League championship game MVP, the official said, also has lucrative options in Europe.
"Hopefully," Clark said of making an NBA roster after besting his career-high at Belmont by one point. "I just wanted to come out here and play hard, and I think that's what Summer League is for, to come out here and showcase your talents.
Before the championship game, Clark had averaged 9.0 points, scoring 54 points in the previous six games.
The Warriors capped their Vegas run with a 7-0 record and made it consecutive summers without a loss. The Phoenix Suns, led by new coach Jeff Hornacek and key roster players Marcus and Markieff Morris, along with P.J. Tucker, suffered their first loss but may have gained a pretty good player as they continue to rebuild next season.
Late first-round draft pick Archie Goodwin had an impressive run and ended it with 18 points. The lanky, 6-foot-5, one-and-done guard out of Kentucky consistently outplayed Kendall Marshall, the Suns' lottery pick from last season. Goodwin averaged 13.1 ppg and shot 50 percent from the floor.
So that will do it for the 2013 Las Vegas Summer League. The big boys are in town now for a U.S. Men's National Team mini-camp that started Monday and runs through Thursday, when the intra-squad scrimmage will be broadcast live at 9 p.m. ET on NBA TV.
2013 All-Summer League Team
MVP: Jonas Valanciunas (Toronto)
Kent Bazemore (Golden State)
Cody Zeller (Charlotte)
John Henson (Milwaukee)

Live Well tips
Have you seen Pousada Do Porto (the Porto Hostel)? It's a good reason to head to the north! Pousada doAsh - Ash Palace Hotel - is among the local "must-visit" locations selected by the magazine Taschen, the American newspaper New York Times, European roadmap for integrating travel, and The New York Times: 36 Hours, 125 Weekends in Europe. The hostel is located near the Freixo Palace, a beautiful example of Baroque Portuguese civil rated National Monument since 1910. Inaugurated in October 2009 was the first Pousada de Portugal in Invicta city. What a good getaway!
Live well with less technology ...
A study conducted at the University of Alberta (Canada) says that children with electronic devices in their bedrooms are more likely to be obese. Researchers establish a cause-and-effect relationship between these devices and a decrease in hours of sleep, adding that only one extra hour of sleep would reduce the odds of these children becoming obese be 30%. Paul Veugelers, an author of the study, leaves this advice with all parents: "If you want your children to sleep better and have a healthy lifestyle, get the technology out of their rooms."
Frankenstein may help us lose weight
It seems hard to believe, but the truth is that seeing a horror movie can help you lose weight. A group of researchers at the University Westminster (UK) wanted to understand if it is possible to burn calories while watching a scary film. In their study, these researchers monitored 10 people while they viewed a selection of classic horror films, and ultimately found that on average, these persons burned three times more calories than they would in front of a blank screen. Richard Mackenzie, an expert on metabolism, explained that this phenomenon is due to "the release of fast action adrenaline produced during short bursts of stress, or in this case, fear, which reduces appetite and increases metabolic rate."
The cheapest insurance of health is ...
... a multivitamin. So says Professor Balz Frei, the Linus Pauling Institute. According to specialist, the daily consumption of a multivitamin is enough to lower the risk of cancer by 8%. This statement comes in the wake of a large published study on the positive effects of multivitamin supplementation on health. The investigators alert, however, that this is only supplement and not a substitute for a good diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Prevent Early
A Portuguese study found that children and obese adolescents are more likely continue to be so into adulthood than their thinner counterparts. The research that was presented to congress was based on the observance of over 500 boys, and ultimately found that this risk increases with age: a third of children under 6 and a half years old kept the weight on between 6 and 11years of age. Even more worrying was the data on adolescents, with the percentage of those keeping the weight on rising to 80%. Experts say that the solution is prevention, which should begin very early in life: during pregnancy and then the first years of a baby's life.
Praise, praise, praise!
Try praising your employees and colleagues! According to a study by the National Institute for Physiological Sciences, praise is the social reward that promotes better performance by those who feel their efforts are recognized. All research indicates that positive words produce a strong impact in the brain which leads to the production of the highest-quality work. "Congratulations," and "Keep up the good work," are just a few examples to try implementing. No harm in trying!
