Originally trained as a mens tailor Rickard Lindqvist graduated with a BA in Fashion Design from the Swedish School of Textile in 2005. During and after his studies, he has worked for various companies such Vivienne Westwood, Nudie Jeans, Whipping Floyd and Filippa K. He has also dressed artists such as Hakan Hellstrom, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, Whyte Seeds and Broder Daniel. In 2004 he was rewarded the Sisley award at the Mittelmoda fashion award in Gorizia, Italy. His work has been show and exhibited in Paris, Tokyo, Berlin Copenhagen and Stockholm.
Rickards design is very much driven by intricate pattern construction but with the roots in classic tailoring. He combines the avante-garde with the classic in a way, which challenges the way we perceive our bodies and clothing.
The V-Store online shop is a satellite of the HENRIK VIBSKOV BOUTIQUE in Copenhagen and Oslo. Its aim is to reach out globally to all corners of the world with exciting products, special editions, old classics, books, magazines, shoes, skin-care and make-up, from a range of local and international designers, artists and creators, which we think create a new, progressive and beautiful collection of pieces.
WHEN designer Erik Hart launched Morphine Generation, his darkly romantic streetwear line, in 2003, imitators came flocking -- ripping off the collection's skull-and-flora silk-screens ad nauseam. "There were people who built their lines around my first collection," said the Los Angeles native, "but I've accepted it and moved on."
Hart stayed one step ahead of his copyists by evolving Morphine Generation from a T-shirt-and-hoodies line into a full-fledged clothing collection, known for black tailored jackets and capes with a "Sleepy Hollow" vibe. The brand picked up illustrious devotees along the way, including Scarlett Johansson, Lindsay Lohan and Brad Pitt.
Now the 28-year-old is hoping to make an even bigger impact (though he could live without the copycats) with his new namesake collection, Erik Hart: Factory of Aesthetics & Dreams.The line, which is pretty but not girly, with a dash of Hedi Slimane-style androgyny, is also a step toward more mainstream designer fashion.
The higher-priced line, which retails for $98 to $650, is a move into dressier apparel for Hart, who started Morphine Generation out of his garage -- with no formal fashion training under his belt -- after years of cobbling together clothes for the various rock bands he'd played in.
"I thought it was best to take the fashion elements out of Morphine Generation and call it Erik Hart," said the designer, sitting in his sparsely beautiful downtown loft, between drags on a Parliament Light. "Then I could keep Morphine an artisanal streetwear line."
Filled with sporty buffalo-check jackets and little black dresses, the debut collection for fall/winter might have been billed as a capsule collection for Morphine Generation; it shares a similar attitude. But Hart's spring/summer offerings, wrought in black, white and canary yellow, veer into trendier terrain. High-waisted miniskirts and riffs on the classic motorcycle jacket (including a yellow motorcycle vest) would fit niftily on the rack with a number of young designer collections, including Alexander Wang and Jenni Kayne.
Though Morphine Generation pieces are almost instantly recognizable, Erik Hart is more incognito and so infinitely more wearable. "I want the pieces to transform," Hart said. "You should be able to throw a jacket over a dress you've been wearing all day for a cocktail party."
Cotton is a staple at Morphine Generation, but Hart upped the fabric ante for his namesake line, importing men's suiting fabric, silks and treated nylon from Italy, Japan and France. "It's about high and low," he said, "a mix between high sartorial elements and street elements." For instance, he added, "I'll use menswear suiting fabrics in a sleek, form-fitting dress."
Underground rock 'n' roll is Hart's first love -- he's been playing and touring with bands since high school -- and music has always played hugely in his designs. When conceptualizing fall/winter Erik Hart, the designer referenced no-wave and art-punk bands and artists such as Television, Cabaret Voltaire and Glenn Branca -- ultimately designing looks for the members of a fictional band, dubbed the Dark Harts, made up of fantasy rockers Lucien and Sophie. (The collection is available now at Scout and Ron Herman in L.A.)
Hart is also inspired by art and pop culture; his loft is strewn with kitschy vintage books and magazines. And the forthcoming spring/summer 2009 line is based on American contemporary artist Robert Longo's "Men in the Cities" paintings, which depict people dressed for the office, writhing in torment. "One of the paintings was of Cindy Sherman in this amazing poplin shirt with this black, body-conscious skirt," said Hart, who created a shorter black skirt and a more stylized white button-down as the starting point for the line.
The collection's name, Erik Hart: Factory of Aesthetics & Dreams (no doubt a nod to Andy Warhol's famous Factory), is intended to be a butterfly net for Hart's artistic pursuits -- musical, sartorial or otherwise. "It doesn't limit me to one specific genre of creative outlet," said the designer, who's working on a jewelry collection for fall 2009 that will be "simple, with lots of dark metals -- like a ring that has a bolt detail on it and one single diamond."
Look for the plastic version at Forever 21 next year.

Like many of you, we are heartbroken that our beloved Catster Community will soon be going away. This March would have marked 5 years for us on Catster, and in that time we have been so very fortunate to meet the most awesome pawsome kitties and their humans we could ever possibly imagine - all of you. It's hard for us to believe that we won't be able to come here anymore to play, laugh, socialize, and support each other.

The happiest day in a kitty's life is our Gotcha Day, don't you think? It's kind of a bittersweet day for our Mom because it also reminds her of the kitty she lost just before she adopted us, our angel brofur Carlos. He was a handsome tuxie like me, black and white, with beautiful green eyes. Dad named him Carlos, after guitarist Carlos Santana, one of Mom and Dad's favorite musicians who is also from the Bay Area where we live.

Assume that the heat treatment supervisor in charge of processing the some gears is on an economy program directed toward getting better life from an electric furnace. He recommends reducing the carborizing temperature from 1100 C to 1000 C, saying that the furnace life is much longer at the lower temperature, and that the carburizing time needed to get the same results will only be 1100/1000, or about 11% longer. Show that he is wrong by calculating the ratio of times required to achieve the same results at these two temperatures. Assume the iron in question is FCC.

Question 1
A crane shown below consists of 2 trusses pivoting at G under the action of a cable J-K-L-M- N (dashed) to lift a load W supported at point E. Frictionless pulleys at K, L and M all have a radius of 0.1m.
With the crane in the position shown, the cable is horizontal between attachment point J and the bottom of the pulley at K, and also between the top of the pulleys at L and M. The cable travels vertically from the side of the pulley at M to the fixed point on the ground, N. The cable can support a maximum tension
of 40.00kN.
Members forming the stand A-B-D-H-G-C, along with braces A-D, C-D and D-G can support a maximum tension load of 162.0kN before failing by fracturing, and a maximum
compression load of kN where l is the length of the member, before failing by buckling. All other members can support a maximum tension load of 81.00kN, and a maximum compression load of kN.
a) Copy and complete the table. Express the tension (or compression) in terms of load W.
b) Find the maximum load W the crane can support. Which member is the limiting member?
c) If the members which support no load are removed, how does the result in b) change?Question 2
Figure 2 shows a flyball governor mechanism. The weight of the balls M and N is 6 kg and the collar CF is 3 kg. The relaxed length of the spring is 0.25 m and its stiffness k is 600 N/m. Assume the lengths of AB, BC, BM, DE, EF and EN are the same. AD and CF are parallel and equal, the spring is mounted vertically and attaches at the midpoints.
0 answers
a) Draw the free body diagrams of the collar CF and the arm ABM
b) Find the force in the strut BC or EF
c) Find the extension of the spring
d) Find the angle of ? as a function of l.
e) Show whether the spring force is dependent on ? to support the collar
Question 3
There will be a spectacular firework show on Sydney Harbour Bridge that you are planning to take beautiful photos of. Recently, a camera with a telephoto lens was offered online at a very special price (shown in Figure 3(a)). Extra care must be taken when using a telephoto lens mounted on a tripod due to the weight and size of the lens. Without careful positioning, the tripod may overbalance. The aim of this question is to determine the best mounting position for the camera-lens system and to investigate other possibilities to make it steadier on sloping ground. The lens is approximately 500mm long at its minimum focal length and it can be extended up to 650mm (shown in Figure 3(b)).
The lens has a front and rear section, each with circular cross section which can slide relative to each other, as shown in Figure 3(c). The rear section, shown in Figure 3(d), has a mass of 4.5kg, whilst the front section, shown in Figure 3(c), has a mass of 1.5kg.
The camera is approximately 0.9 kg and is simplified into a simple rounded corner block with the lens mount at the front and the tripod mount at the bottom.
Calculate the centroid of the lens, the camera and the combined camera-lens system when the lens is at minimum and maximum extension, relative to the mounting point at the base of the camera body (see Figure 3(e) and 3(f))
The camera and lens are mounted to a tripod (shown in Figure 3(g)) of mass 2.5kg, using the mounting point shown in Figure 3(e) and 3(f). The legs of the tripod open to a radius (AE, BE, CE) of 600mm and the height of the tripod (DE) is 1600mm. The camera must be mounted such that the lens points along the x-axis between EA and EB. The tripod is placed on ground sloping at an angle of ? = 3o (see Figure 3(h)). Calculate if the system will tip over when the lens is at its minimum and maximum extension.
The spot for watching the fireworks is very crowded so the tripod leg radius (AE, BE, CE) must be reduced to 500mm. To maintain balance, additional weight is attached to the bottom of the tripod head (point D). Calculate the minimum mass required to prevent tipping when the lens is at its minimum and maximum extension.
Find the minimum mass required if the tripod is moved to other locations with an inclination angle of 8o. The tripod leg radius in this case is 600mm and the lens is at minimum extension
Question 4
As shown in Figure 4(a), a pin connected frame ABC, consists of two rigid bars AB and
BC, of negligible weight, each having a length b = 400 mm. The bars are joined by a
linear spring stiffness k=3 kN/m at their midpoints. Initially, the spring is unstretched, the
framework has a pin support at A, a roller support at C, and is in equilibrium at an angle ? = 45o.
The roller support at C is then removed and a block of mass m = 10 kg is placed instead on an inclined surface ? = 5o. The static friction coefficient between the floor and the block is ? = 0.2. A force F = 150 N which is ? = 5o to the left from the vertical axis is now applied on the new structure at joint B, resulting in the block m moving to the right, stretching the spring. When the system reaches equilibrium, the angle between the bars and the horizontal will change from ? to ? (shown in Figure 4(b)). At this moment:
a) Determine the angle ? after reaching equilibrium (due to space limitation ? must not be less than 30o)
b) Determine the reaction forces at pins A, B and C
c) What will be the increase in the spring length?

Museum 'captain'
The Charleston Museum has recently announced the retirement of its director of 30 years, Dr. John Brumgardt. As head of the search committee that brought John to the museum, I feel compelled to write about his service to both the museum and our community.
John's stewardship of the museum was characterized like a sea captain with a steady hand on the tiller in stormy waters. His thoughtful decisions, excellent planning and management of the museum were the hallmarks of his tenure.
Some of the significant accomplishments during John's service were a new exhibition plan, display of the silver and textile collections, strategic planning, the introduction of the Museum Mile, the celebration of the museum's 225th anniversary and its new courtyard, just to mention a few.
In recognition of his service, the board of trustees has named John director emeritus. Seventeen years ago, John hired Carl Borick as chief financial officer, later moving him to assistant director and grooming him to become the museum's next director. We thank John for his loyal service and welcome Carl as our new director.

'Cutting edge' law
I was inspired by the Oct. 24 front page article in The Post and Courier regarding the North Charleston City Council considering a "cutting-edge" ordinance.
Evidently, the efforts of some citizens to maintain their physical health through regular walks is being impeded by grass encroaching on some neighborhood sidewalks.
As concerned citizens, one couple took this issue to the City Council, seeking relief through a city ordinance.
To its credit, North Charleston City Council saw the potential pitfalls of allowing grass encroachment and took immediate action through the proposal of a regulation.
If I may be so bold as to suggest to the council, I think part of the proposal should include a guideline for their Grass Encroachment Enforcement Officers (GEEOs).
I recommend a limit of 1 3/16-inch encroachment because once you pass 1 1/4 inch there is a high potential for an out-of-control situation.
As a Mount Pleasant resident, I am considering bringing this issue to our Town Council. A proactive government solution such as the one North Charleston is considering is preferable to the potential pitfalls of neighbors talking to each other or offering to help with the trimming. Another benefit would be the employment opportunities in Mount Pleasant if we had our own staff of GEEOs.

I-26 trees
Articles and letters in The Post and Courier for the past year have blamed trees in the median of I-26 for the deaths of scores of people. The tragic news of another fatal accident ("Mom, son killed in notorious I-26 zone," Oct. 25), implies these trees have claimed more victims. The report said the driver went off the right shoulder of the road and struck a tree. How would removal of trees in the median have prevented this tragedy?
I haven't seen any reports that separate the number of accidents on the right side of the road from those on the median side. If more accidents occurred off the right lane would we consider removing all trees on both sides?
It also would also be illuminating to examine the number of such fatalities that involved drivers and passengers who were not wearing seat belts, as well as drivers distracted by using hand-held devices or eating food. Without such analysis, the decision to replace these trees with a guardrail would simply be ridiculous.
We all know that trees don't run at high speed into unsuspecting vehicles. Blaming the trees is just another sign of people refusing to take responsibility for their own actions or misjudgments. I pray for the souls of those unfortunate fatalities on I-26, but I don't think that cutting down countless innocent by-standing trees is an appropriate response or memorial, nor is it environmentally responsible.

Think safety
I was excited to walk my dog over the Ravenel Bridge recently. I did not see any "No Dogs Allowed" signs, so off I went, dog in tow. I passed many people, and none said a word to me other than a cordial "hello" until I was about three-fourths of the way up the bridge. That's when a young lady informed me that I was facing a $150 fine to have my dog on the bridge. Back down the bridge I went, praying that I would not be ticketed.
Along the way I started paying attention to those around me, and I was shocked. I was a woman, walking alone, thus the big husky with me. I was blown away by all the pretty women walking alone on the bridge after dark. I passed a large group of intoxicated young men and was truly afraid for the oblivious women.
When I reached the bottom of the bridge I saw it — a sign saying "No pets allowed." What I would prefer to have seen is a sign encouraging women to pair up, not to walk alone.
Or, can there be blue light emergency phones as on college campuses? The walk from the bridge to my car in front of the Shriners' building was dark and scary.
I had my dog, but two women ahead of me were walking alone.

'I was thinking I'm going to die here,' says victim of Cowboys Stadium ice
Win McNamee, a photographer with Getty Images, was one of those hit Friday by falling ice from the roof of Cowboys Stadium.
McNamee was struck by a chunk of ice the size of a bowling ball. It broke his shoulder in four places. He was to fly home to Washington, D.C. today to undergo surgery.
"Honestly, while it was hitting me, I was thinking I'm going to die here," he told us.

To the Editor.—In a recent report, Rodeheaver et al (ARCHIVES 1982; 117:181-186) reached the following conclusions: (1) Aqueous iodine solutions have a stronger and faster microbicidal action and contain more free iodine than povidone-iodine solution (P-I). (2) Iodophors do not decrease the rate of wound infection in contaminated experimental wounds. (3) "Iodine inhibits wound defenses." (4) "Exposure of contaminated wounds to iodine solutions results in a significantly higher infection rate." We will comment on these conclusions individually.
1. The slight antimicrobial in vitro superiority of aqueous iodine solution v P-I solution is irrelevant, since aqueous iodine has been out of clinical use in wound care since World War I due to its marked caustic action. Although P-I solution has less free iodine, it has excellent microbicidal activity even in low concentrations due to the narrow gap between its minimal inhibitory and minimal bactericidal concentrations for most bacteria of surgical

Nathan N. Mendelzon, 76, a longtime Delaware County dentist who went on to direct state public-health dental programs, died Monday at his home in Albuquerque, N.M. He previously lived in Broomall and Prospect Park.
A 1937 graduate of the Temple University School of Dentistry, Dr. Mendelzon practiced general dentistry in Prospect Park for 30 years, until 1968, when he turned his efforts to public-health dentistry.
At that time Dr. Mendelzon moved to Charleston, W.Va., where he lived for about eight years and served as state assistant director of dental health.

Fred Robbins was in practice yesterday. Boy do we need him. Of all the players out there who are hurt (yes, even Ahmad), Robbins is the single most important one to get back healthy. The comments on his blog are actually quite informative, taken at face value. (Also, referenced on the right side is a new listing of players' blogs that were added last week.)
November 5, 2008: "Playing with two broken hands is a piece of work, man. I broke them a couple weeks ago against the 49ers, both times making tackles."
December 2, 2008: "I hurt the AC joint in my shoulder in the Arizona game… I'm not complaining. My hands are healed up and my shoulder is coming along."
December 9, 2008: "My hands are better and my shoulder feels OK, the last few games every season you have to gut it out with some soreness. It's nothing I can't play with and it's getting better day by day. That's why we want to get that bye week and have time to heal."
December 16, 2008: "I definitely want to play. That's the thing, the players always want to be out there on the field, but I don't want to go out there too early and have a chance to reinjure my shoulder. I want to make sure I'm around for the playoffs, take some time as far as the healing process. I started having problems with it after playing last week. What happens when you have an injury is that you talk to the team doctor, they ask for your opinion, the doc says his opinion and the coach makes the final decision. Coach Coughlin said he wanted to make sure I was around for the playoffs. Health is a big issue and you want to make sure you don't reinjure yourself. I'm definitely starting to feel better but it's too early to say for sure whether I'll play against Carolina. The strength in my shoulder just isn't there yet, I can't protect myself on the field and that's not a good thing. I'll probably know by the end of the week. Friday I'll go out there and do some work on the practice field and see how it feels."

Opponents of the FedEx plant proposal thought they found their "smoking gun" earlier this month in a study showing problems with the $335 million project's traffic study.
But Allen Township supervisors, who will decide as early as next month whether to approve the project, seem less than impressed with it.
When pressed by Robert Nappa, a spokesman of a residents' group opposed to the project, only two of the four supervisors present even acknowledged having seen the study, let alone reading it.
And the two who did -- Dale Hassler and Alfred Pierce -- said they did not find it compelling because it was contradicted by their own attorney, as well as PennDOT and the Rockefeller Group, the developer behind the FedEx project.
"The analysis of our engineer, (Rockefeller's) engineer and PennDOT's engineers do not concur with it," Pierce said.
Supervisors tonight briefly discussed the project, which includes a 1.1 million-square-foot FedEx distribution plant and two warehouse buildings totaling another 1 million square feet off Willowbrook Road.
They are tentatively scheduled to hold a final vote on Aug. 14 unless the Rockefeller Group requests an extension, according to township solicitor B. Lincoln Treadwell.
An expert traffic engineering review conducted at Hanover Township's request found several deficiencies with the project's traffic study, and suggested it not be built until Route 22 is expanded to six lanes in 2022.
Earlier this month, Nappa argued township zoning laws require an accurate traffic study to be done for a project, so the supervisors must reject FedEx or risk violating those laws.
When Nappa asked the supervisors whether they had reviewed the study, Paul Balliet and Larry Oberly declined to answer. Bruce Frank was absent.
The engineering firm Piccock Co. prepared the original traffic study for Rockefeller, and Piccock senior manager Ron Gawlik spoke in its defense tonight.
He said Piccock had already responded to the group that had conducted the analysis, and that most of their findings were minor matters that simply needed clarifications.
"Any representation made about that our study was inaccurate or not detailed enough are simply without any foundation," Gawlik said.
But Hanover Township's solicitor, Jackson Eaton III, said the township still has several concerns about the project, particularly regarding how it will affect Airport Road and Route 22.
"We have several issues that remain to be resolved that we will be discussing" with Rockefeller, Eaton said.
Supervisors otherwise spent little time discussing the FedEx proposal except for a brief debate about whether to require sidewalks be installed on Willowbrook Road due to the project.
Hassler suggested sidewalks be built from the project all the way south to the township line. But others said unless Hanover Township built sidewalks to connect to it, there would be no point.
The supervisors requested Eaton discuss with Hanover Township whether officials there would be interested in laying sidewalks to connect with any built in Allen Township.

Crime and Punishment
Seventeen Months After Her Daughter Disappeared, a Mother Gets Justice but Not Peace of Mind
TAMMY BRANNEN, January 1990
IT IS TESTAMENT TO THE ANGUISH OF the past 17 months that for Tammy Brannen, finding her daughter dead might no longer be the worst that could happen. Worse now is knowing nothing at all. "If I look at the evidence, there's only one conclusion I come up with," she says, alluding to the unbearable probability that her daughter, who has not been seen since she vanished from a Christmas party (PEOPLE, April 9, 1990) in 1989, is no longer alive. And yet, she says, "there'll be a shadow or a sound, and I think it's Melissa coming home." She sighs, the smoke from her cigarette stinging her weary eyes, and adds, "You can believe anything you want in order to get you through each day."
Last month, in Fairfax County (Va.) Circuit Court, Caleb Hughes, 25, a slight, former grounds keeper, sat expressionless as the verdict was delivered: guilty of abduction with intent to defile. He adjusted his wire-rim glasses and stared blankly at the jurors who had condemned him to 50 years in prison. Behind him, Tammy Brannen, a divorced accountant, stared too, as her mother, Janice Pigue, collapsed on her arm and wept. "This isn't a victory," says Tammy, "because I don't have my daughter back. Until I know what happened to her, it isn't over for me."
As it stands, chances are she never will know. Hughes has admitted nothing, and the prosecutor based his case on sophisticated forensic evidence—including clothing fibers and hair strands—which he claimed proved Melissa had been in Hughes's car the night she disappeared. Authorities are convinced the child is dead, but without proof they could not bring a murder charge. From the start, though, both Tammy, 28, and the police suspected Hughes. Then employed at the Brannens' apartment complex in suburban Virginia just outside Washington, D.C., he was a drifter with a troubled past, including two arrests for car theft.
Hughes first met Melissa at the apartment-complex party on the night she disappeared and remarked, "Isn't she pretty?" Tammy recalls. Later, when Melissa went to get some chips before leaving, Tammy saw Hughes approach her. But the girl shyly ignored him, and Tammy watched as Melissa headed back to her. When Tammy turned away for a moment to hug a friend, she glimpsed Hughes hovering nearby. But seconds later, when she turned back expecting to see her daughter at her side, Melissa had vanished—forever.
Less than an hour later, at about 11 P.M., police called Hughes's town house and found that he, too, had disappeared. At midnight, officers again telephoned and spoke to his wife, Carol. A supplies buyer for the Fairfax County public schools, she had married Hughes, nearly 20 years her junior, six months earlier. He was not home, she said. At 5:30 A.M., when investigators knocked on the couple's door in nearby Lake Ridge, Va., Hughes answered. They asked him where he had been for the two hours between 10:10 P.M., when he said he had left the party, and 12:30 A.M., when he said he had arrived home. He replied only that he had stopped for a moment to buy a six-pack of beer, then taken the "long way" home—at most, police say, a 10-mile drive. After an extensive interrogation, an investigator accused Hughes of having harmed Melissa. Said Hughes coolly: "Prove it."
Police and the FBI set out to do just that—gathering fibers from Hughes's car that matched fibers from a Big Bird sweater like the one Melissa was wearing at the party, as well as some uncommon rabbit hairs from the coat Tammy wore. Meanwhile, Tammy ran into Hughes in a local shopping mall and pleaded for help. "Tell me where my daughter is," she begged. "I won't tell anybody where I got the information." Hughes hedged. And yet, remembers Tammy, "he didn't deny anything. He looked at me and swallowed, and his voice broke, and he said, 'I'm in too much trouble. I can't talk to you,' and walked away."
Later, during the trial, Tammy confronted Hughes's wife, who had given birth to their son, little Caleb, in April 1990. "I thought she'd understand, being a mother," says Tammy. "I told her if she heard anything that she could call me anonymously, that all I wanted was to find my daughter." Carol professed to know nothing. But, says Tammy, clinging to hope, "she told me that if she ever did have information, she'd give it to me one way or another."
In the ground-floor apartment she moved into two months after the tragedy, Tammy shuffles her bare feet on the cold wooden door and stares at a framed photograph of her only child. Strained hope is all that remains. "Until they find a body," she says, "I have to believe there's a possibility, however remote, that Melissa is alive." Then, thinking of Hughes, a desperate anger flushes her pale face. "I've never doubled that he did it. He should be punished so he can never do it again. But really," she says, "I just want to know one thing: Where's Melissa?"

COLUMBIA - Former South Carolina catcher Grayson Greiner was named a second-team All-American by Perfect Game USA on Tuesday.
Greiner batted .311 last season while leading the Gamecocks with 50 RBIs, eight home runs and 13 doubles. He added 39 runs, second-highest on the team.
Perhaps even more impressive was Greiner's defense behind the plate. His .995 fielding percentage earned him a spot on the SEC All-Defensive team.
The distinction added to what has been a long list of postseason accolades. Greiner also was named second-team All-American by Baseball America. Oddly, he was passed over on the All-SEC first and second teams, but he's now made All-American lists twice.
Greiner was drafted in the third round by the Detroit Tigers in the MLB Draft earlier this month. He signed with the Tigers last week, deciding to forego his senior season.

Bánh xèo
Vietnamese-style bánh xèo'
|Place of origin
|Main ingredients
|rice flour, water, turmeric powder
|Cookbook: Bánh xèo Media: Bánh xèo
Bánh xèo [ɓǎɲ sɛ̂w], literally "sizzling cake", named for the loud sizzling sound it makes when the rice batter is poured into the hot skillet[1][2] is a Vietnamese savory fried pancake made of rice flour, water, turmeric powder, stuffed with slivers of fatty pork, shrimp, diced green onion, and bean sprouts.
Southern-style bánh xèo contains coconut milk and certain Central regions skip the turmeric powder altogether. They are eaten wrapped in mustard or lettuce leaves or banh trang wrappers, stuffed with mint leaves or basil, and then dipped in a sweet and sour diluted fish sauce. In the Central region, it is often wrapped in fresh rice paper with a sausage (nem lui) and then dipped in a special sauce which consists of fermented soy bean and sticky rice sauce, ground pork liver, ground and toasted peanut and seasonings.
The dish is also popular in Cambodian cuisine, where the dish is called បាញ់ឆែវ (most often transliterated as banh chao). It has also been introduced into Thailand where it known by two names: ขนมเบื้องญวน (khanom beuang yuan), where yuan is the Thai word for "Vietnamese", and บั๊ญแส่ว (Ban sao).
Similarity to bánh khoái of Huế[edit]
Southern style bánh xèo are larger and thinner compared to the small pan-fried versions in the central and northern regions. In Huế, the former imperial capital, it is called bánh khoái (literally "cake fond-of") and is served open faced instead of being folded in half. Bánh khoái is always served with the fermented soy bean sauce mentioned above. In the central region, it is considered cold weather food because of its greasiness. Therefore, most families make them from scratch only during the winter.

text: I got a new MacBook Air a few weeks ago and am very happy with it. The battery life is excellent as has been reported. It is a vanilla machine with VirtualBox installed and running Linux under VirtualBox. The other day I downloaded and installed the GNU PGP suite for Mac OS X and have been testing the email encryption. I recommend it to any of you Mac users out there. Now for the paranoia. This morning at about 7:45 AM I was searching for some friends on the key servers. Most of my friends don't have public keys, and on a lark I entered the name of Glenn Greenwald, the New York Times and Guardian reporter who broke the NSA/Snowden stories. Turns out he has a 4096 bit encryption key. Within minutes my MacBook Air froze up with a screen that said it had encountered a problem and quit, blank screen, dead to the world. Wouldn't power up. After a few minutes it came back up and reported 2 kernel panics to Apple (which I elected not to send). Everything seems normal now. If I'm intercepted by Customs (here or in England) on my trip to Europe next week, I'll let you know. Meanwhile, is it coincidence or have I gotten on a list? BTW I'm sending this from a different machine. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

1 - SMART HALORY drops off claim and romp at 7-5 for hot Volk (26% winners) after beating BOCA MARY. SPEAK LOUDER drops from back-to-back softer Philly scores.
(Don't underestimate Pablo Morales riding top pick).
2 - I CAN'T DANCE sinks notch in price despite losing by nose in 1:09.2 ULTIMATE takes bigger drop. AMERICAN SENIOR steps up off sale to Farro as beaten 4-5 choice, but retains Bravo. Interesting.
(Might be nose shy of having won 3 in a row).
3 - ECHO QUEST has been in exacta in 6-of-12 at Shore and all three starts since returning to Oceanport. MAGIC ALPHABET beat 5G claimers in 2 of past 3. Main foe. KAMIKAZE FLYER lands part.
(Breen hungry as usual to get winners).
4 - SHORT TRIP lures Lezcano off BOND CHAMP after drop in class. LUCKYALLMYLIFE dips into claimer along with BUFFALO MAN.
(Short Trip has proven he can deal with turf).
5 - JODIF looms the speed on main track. RILDED AGAIN stalks potential pace duel between top pick and HOMEGROWN QUEEN.
(Jodif quicker on dirt than grass).
6 - WHOOPI AGAIN may be worthwhile risk if you can ignore last pair. JUST LE FACTS gets rail and Bravo for third start off layoff. Didn't have stretch punch in last pair. ABOUT NOON takes perhaps too big a drop.
(Might get fair price because of poor recent form of Whoopi Again).
7 - SILVER MOOSE returns to turf sprint where he has best record of this group. HOT FINANCE needed last. SHARP steps up off claim by Hills with some grass ability.
(Always like sprinters who have proven themselves on lawn).
8 - No reason why COLORFUL DELIGHT can't stay unbeaten. But RAPSODY and NASTY exchange may have different ideas.
(Colorful Delight hasn't been challenged).
9 - MONSTERINMYROOM (BEST BET) was bottled up and lost all chance as 2-1 favorite against better. So Breen switches riders to Lezcano. The 5-year-old was only one in top four finishers in last race who wasn't claimed. Key over SEZONE, HAIL RENE and ZUNI GOLD.
(Video replay gives you better idea why this is solid pick).
1 - LEMON SHORE (BEST BET) (Samyn on the green won last with ease), Fortyfive N Change, Well Documented
(Only one in here 1-for-1 in turf sprint).
2 - ROYAL ATTIRE (shortened up by Dutrow after winning last), Smokin Lu, Freedom Isnt Free
(Well bet in last pair).
3 - LADY BYAR (on board in last 5; in exacta in 19-of-36 lifetime), Karakorum Starlet, Shady Lane
(Might be overbet).
4 - PEPERONI (experience edge over entire field), Wolfson, Dazzling Derek
(Showed speed in last; rest of field making first starts).
5 - QUEEN AMIRA (Mott drops her in class), Zaynab, Jilli's Cape
(Offers value in competitive field).
6 - GOLDEN HORSESHOE (huge rider switch), Silver Fountain, Silver Paradise
(Goes from apprentice to John Velazquez).
7 - ANGEL DANCER (likes this distance), Clearly Ideal, Roxanne's Dancer
(In money in 9-of-19 at awkward distance).
8 - DAVE (beaten favorite in open company faces NY-breds), Banrock, Foreverness
(Has some back class).

Dihydrogen Monoxide
This may be a little off-topic for the
, but is important nonetheless.
Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide,
, Hydronium Hydroxide,
, or simply Hydric acid, that is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful. It is a major component of acid rain.
Dihydrogen monoxide kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.
Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
as an industrial solvent and coolant.
in nuclear power plants.
in the production of styrofoam.
as a fire retardant.
in many forms of cruel animal research.
in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical. And even after using special procedures to remove all traces of it, food is left shriveled and tough.
as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.
in certain forms of torture and/or murder.
dehydrated DHMO would make a good business venture. It could be sold in small quantities, or in large bulk form, and then all one would have to do, would be to rehydrate it with water. A fortune could be made.
Studies by scientists have shown that a majority of the U.S. population favors a ban on this substance.
for more information, and to find out what you can do.
An example of how using jargon creates obfuscation. Which proves the value of a
"Speaking as someone with experience with Chemical Substances and Emergency Management, I can say definitively that DHMO causes more property damage and loss of life than any other Chemical Substance in America"
In some villages in Central and South America, DHMO is bartered openly in the streets! --

Facing a 4th-and-1 near midfield, Hughesville coach Andy Brown could have played it conservative. He could have played the field position game, punted and tried to pin North Penn deep in its own territory.
Brown never considered those options. He gambled and went for it. It was early, but Brown wanted to make a statement. Hughesville not only converted that fourth down, but did so two more times on the drive and frequently throughout the game. And Brown's players heard his message loud and clear.
Brown put his confidence in his players and they did not let him down Friday on Homecoming Night. Hughesville ran the ball at will, controlled the line of scrimmage, played stellar defense and recorded a huge 21-14 win over North Penn. The Spartans shook off four weeks of frustration, picked up their first win and showed that no matter what their record is, they should never be counted out.
"I felt pretty confident and I'm sure my fellow linemen felt pretty confident too. We just dug deep and went for it and we got it," dominant two-way lineman Logan Rucker said. "It was a big statement for us."
"We needed a spark. We were near the 50 so I felt OK going for it," Brown said. "Our kids were confident coming in and I wanted to give them the opportunity to keep the drives going and we converted almost all of them."
Hughesville ran the ball 76 times for 310 yards and controlled the ball for more than 35 minutes against a team that had won two straight. The Spartans trailed 14-13 in the fourth quarter, but their confidence never wavered and they put together a go-ahead 13-run, 64-yard drive before making two big defensive stops to clinch the win.
Do not underestimate the importance of this win. The pressure is off now. Hughesville has that vital first win and, more important, a lot of confidence moving forward. This team was 1-4 last year and rallied to capture a HAC-III championship and reach the postseason. This is a new year and there are a lot of new faces, but Hughesville believes anything is possible just like in 2011.
"This win could keep us moving farther and farther," said two-way starting lineman Devante Oliver, who like Rucker, excelled on both sides. "We made it to playoffs last year and I think we are going to end up having a great season."
That is a definite possibility if the offensive line builds off Friday's performance. That unit jelled for the first time and dominated up front, repeatedly blowing defenders off the ball. It was vintage Hughesville and it showed that after opening the season with a brutal stretch against four teams who are a combined 17-3, that progress is being made.
"I think it's a passion of mine to down block on someone and just destroy him," Oliver said. "We are a running team so it was a lot of fun. That got us real pumped."
Those first four losses could have demoralized the team, but that has never been the Hughesville way. The Spartans have been at their best the past 15 seasons when they have faced adversity. That did not change Friday. Even when North Penn twice took leads and some promising drives ended without points, Hughesville remained optimistic.
So did the coaches. Brown remained confident in his players. The results might not have shown it the first four weeks, but Brown saw the hard work being put in. He knew it was a matter of time. He knew what his team could do and he gave it every chance to show it.
"I think we can hopefully get rolling now. We just have to pick it up in the next few games," said running back Alec Walter, who ran for a career-high 179 yards and two touchdowns on 39 carries. "To finally get a win and show them that we can pull through and do it just like they did in the past years, felt really good.
And now Hughesville hopes the good times keep rolling.
FOR FRANK: Montoursville defensive back Frank Dyer has been instrumental to helping the Warriors start 4-1 and was playing another good game Friday against Mount Carmel when, with 3:55 remaining in the third quarter, he broke his tibia and fibula. Dyer went to the hospital from there but he remained on his teammates' minds and they honored him the best way they could-by winning one of the most exciting games in program history.
The Warriors overcame an early 14-point deficit and rallied in the fourth quarter, taking a lead with 8:26 remaining before holding off a last-second Mount Carmel drive while winning, 41-37. Montoursville officially announced its presence as a District 4 Class AA title contender and exacted a measure of revenge against a team that had beaten it four straight times, including twice last season.
Afterward, Montoursville sent the game ball to Dyer, a fitting tribute to a player who gave all he had to make the win possible.
"It is special. They beat us twice last year and it was a little motivation for us going into this game. We're excited about it and it's a stepping stone for us because they're a next-level team as far as I'm concerned. They're top echelon," Montoursville coach J.C. Keefer said. "It's a big win for our guys to start believing in themselves. It's a tribute to them and the hard work kids have put in. When you're up and down the field like this, a defensive stand is a great way to cap off what was happening up and down the field."
Montoursville prevailed in a game that featured 936 yards of offense and a remarkable 362-yard rushing performance from Luke Klingerman. Quarterback Aaron Cole was injured early, but backup Griffin Dunne came in to run for 216 yards and three scores while throwing for a touchdown. The lead see-sawed back and forth over the final three quarters, but the Warriors never buckled against a program that is among the country's top five in all-time wins.
Beating Mount Carmel almost always is a big deal. In this case, how Montoursville did so means even more.
"This is a huge win for us to set us up and do well and make the playoffs," Dunne said. "We needed this to get us into the flow and get us on a roll."
BELATED GIFT: Injuries decimated Wellsboro early this preseason and an already young team looked to be in serious danger. In the middle of preseason camp, though, the Green Hornets received a nice gift. After making a summer move from Elmira, Jermaine Brooks came out for the team. He had little time to prepare and learn a new system but has made a sudden impact.
Brooks enjoyed a breakout performance in Saturday's 44-6 win at CMVT. The 5-foot-7 junior ran for 162 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries while also returning a punt 71 yards for a dazzling score. Brooks has two 100-yard games, Wellsboro is 3-2 and things are looking much brighter these days.
"He has been an excellent surprise. We were excited to have him come in because we were banged up at the time so he was quite the blessing," Wellsboro coach Steve Boyce said. "He's coming through and he gets stronger every week. He has excellent field presence where he can kind of look around and see where he needs to make a cut. We have a little more work to do with him, but he's a natural athlete and that's outstanding."
Brooks took his first carry 62 yards for a touchdown Saturday and averaged 18 yards every time he touched the ball on offense or special teams. He displayed a nice burst and has good vision. Brooks also can make some outstanding moves, riddling the CMVT defense with two impressive cuts on his 71-yard punt return. He arrived late, but Brooks has had little trouble making up for lost time.
"I'm looking forward to playing next year too and being prepared and coming harder," Brooks said. "We have a lot of potential. We just have to be ready, focus and play hard."
Dr. Masse's Top Five
1. Montoursville (4-1): Running back Clay Stoner prepared for the season by running a lot of hills last summer. That has helped him run over and around defenders thus far. Stoner topped 100 yards for the fourth time Friday, gaining 110 yards and scoring two touchdowns. Montoursville is 4-0 when Stoner rushes for more than 100 yards and has lost just once during his varsity career when he has done so. Do not forget about safety Alex Erb either. Erb has had a breakout season thus far, intercepting two passes, and the safety made the game's biggest play on the final play, getting enough of the final pass toward the end zone to knock it away from Tyler Kwiatowski.
2. Lewisburg (4-1): The Montoursville win overshadowed what Lewisburg did, but the Green Dragons made a nice statement too. Lewisburg thumped defending District 4 Class AAA champion Shamokin, 35-14, scoring 15 more points than any previous Shamokin opponent. The Dragons have been getting better every week since losing to Mount Carmel in Week 2 and have allowed just 28 points during that time. The offense is balanced, quarterback Nick Castigliola is progressing and running back Brandon Smith is an all-around beast. The offensive line manhandled Shamokin and helped Lewisburg average eight yards per carry in the second half. The defense went offensive too as Ty Turner returned a first-quarter interception 82 yards for a score.
3. South Williamsport (4-1): Sophomore Dominick Bragalone has often been instant offense, driving that point home during Friday's 53-19 win at Warrior Run. Bragalone returned consecutive kickoffs 88 and 78 yards for touchdowns, snuffing out Warrior Run comeback attempts as South matched its win total from last year and defeated Warrior Run for the first time since 2002. Big, fast and strong, Bragalone has four touchdowns this season and all have come from 46 yards or more. His first varsity carry went for a 60-yard touchdown against Bloomsburg and he forced overtime against Canton in Week 2 with a 46-yard touchdown run. Bragalone is averaging 8.2 yards per carry while fullback Brandon Stonge has 600 yards following a 170-yard, two-touchdown performance.
4. Loyalsock (2-3): Some might have been surprised Loyalsock lost to Shikellamy, 21-12 a week after stunning Mount Carmel but it's not shocking when you realize two things: 1, Shikellamy is a pretty good team led by an outstanding coach. 2, Loyalsock is still young and working on its consistency. A playoff berth is still a possibility if Loyalsock heats up and if it does it could be a dangerous lower-seeded team. Sophomore Omar Little enjoyed a career night against Shikellamy, catching 7 passes for 112 yards.
5. Muncy (4-1): The Indians have no time to stew about Friday's 47-7 loss at Southern Columbia, not with Bloomsburg (4-1) coming to town in three nights. Muncy is seeking its first win against Bloomsburg since 2005 and Friday's game is laced with big District 4 Class A playoff ramifications. If I was a Muncy player against Southern I would have been ready to fight after Southern did not attempt an extra point following its last touchdown. I cannot reiterate how insulting it is to an athlete to have an opponent take that kind of mercy on you. Nearly every athlete would rather you go for 2 following every touchdown than not try at all.
Player of the Week
Griffin Dunne, Montoursville: Talk about a super sub. Dunne's performance is reminiscent of Luke Trick in 2005 replacing an injured Garrett Cillo and running for a program-record 311 yards. Dunne needed to be brilliant for his team to win and he was, running for 216 yards and a score while also throwing a 59-yard touchdown to Cameron Ott. Counting his three interceptions returned for scores, Dunne has accounted for seven touchdowns the last three weeks.
Game of the Week
Lewisburg at Montoursville: It does not get much better than No. 1 facing No. 2. Both teams are coming off huge wins and both are serious District 4 Class AA title contenders. It's possible these teams could see each other again in the postseason, so just like last week's instant classic at Memorial Stadium, this should should be entertaining, fiercely fought and fun to watch. Do not be surprised if this one comes down to the final play.
