If Riverdale season 1 was a "whodunit?" then season 2 is definitely a "who is doing it?" as the gang continue their mission to unmask the Black Hood Killer. Betty has been taking the lead on the investigation after she discovered that her speech at the end of the first season inspired one of the men in attendance to take it upon himself to cleanse Riverdale by killing (or attempting to kill) those he deemed sinners. And who knows more about sinners than Riverdale's own Sheriff Keller?
In episode 6 the Black Hood Killer murdered Mr Phillips, Jughead's high school teacher, who led a secret life as a drug dealer called the Sugarman. The murder took place in the Riverdale police station, supporting the popular fan theory that Sheriff Keller is the serial killer. Keller had access to the jail cell where Phillips was being kept, he has green eyes like the Black Hood, and he also knows a lot about Betty. She and his son, Kevin Keller, have been friends since they were kids, so the Sheriff may well have known about her love of the Nancy Drew books.

In episode 7, "Tales from the Dark Side," Betty becomes convinced that the Sheriff could be the Black Hood as she lies in bed with Jughead. She keeps her qualms quiet until midway through the episode, when Kevin tells her that his dad keeps sneaking out late at night. Betty immediately shares with Veronica her belief that the Sheriff could be the killer, though Ronnie thinks he's having an affair while his wife away in Bahrain. It turns out the latter was true, as the two pals spot him meeting Mayor McCoy at a motel room and kissing her passionately.
This revelation does clear some of the suspicion from Sheriff Keller, since practising adultery doesn't exactly fit with the Black Hood's disdain for sinners. However, we're dealing with a person who thinks he's justified in committing murder in order to make Riverdale less sinful, so his moral compass is obviously way off. Being the Sheriff would certainly make it easier for him to get away with murder. Keller has an excuse for keeping an eye on the "sinners" of Riverdale, and he's in a position to destroy or alter incriminating evidence. Since he represents the law, no one would expect him to be the killer - except Betty, of course. Yet even Betty seems to change her mind about his guilt after witnessing him kissing the Mayor.
If the writers are being tricky and trying to lure us into a false sense of security about Keller, they really laid it on thick in "Tales From the Dark Side." Not only did the affair reveal imply that the Sheriff was not the Black Hood, but the introduction of Tony Todd's Farmer McGinty draws the audience's attention to another possibility: The Riverdale Reaper. McGinty tells Jughead that a few years ago more gruesome murders took place when a man killed an entire family with a shotgun:
"There was a family living out near the Fox Forest. A good family. Mother. Father. Two kids. One night, they were all asleep when someone broke in. A Bogeyman who went room to room with a shotgun, shot 'em all dead. No survivors."
The farmer says the Reaper never got caught and could still be hanging around Riverdale, which leads Jughead to believe that maybe he could be behind the Black Hood killings too. In this week's episode, "The House of the Devil," we learned that the Riverdale Reaper left one survivor: a third child, who grew up to be Riverdale High School janitor Mr. Svenson. Svenson himself became a suspect after this discovery, but Archie ultimately "cleared" him, confident that Svenson's eyes do not match the Black Hood.
Who knows, maybe McGinty is the Black Hood killer. He seemed pretty volatile when Jughead refused to pay him anymore money, and he's a fan of a religious radio station that seems to think the Black Hood is doing God's work. It would certainly be a nice touch if the farmer turned out to be the killer, as Todd is most famous for his terrifying titular role in the Candyman franchise. However, from the looks of things the Black Hood is a white man with green eyes so it seems unlikely that McGinty is the killer. Maybe he's just a fan.
The Black Hood's green eyes and knowledge of Betty's childhood also mean that Hal Cooper is in the mix as a prime suspect. He also knew of Miss Grundy and Archie's affair, as well as Polly's location, and he does have a creepy vibe. However, the Black Hood may actually be more than one person.
Keller said that two notes meant to be from the killer looked like they were written by different people, which means someone could be acting the copycat of the real Black Hood. This potentially could be Hiram Lodge, sinceit was weird that the Hood refused to kill Nick St. Clair because he wasn't a "son of Riverdale," but has no problem killing another Riverdale outsider - Miss Grundy. Lodge's affiliation to St. Clair's parents would be a good enough reason to not murder their son on his front doorstep, but that doesn't mean he couldn't have committed other murders for personal gain.
Riverdale is certainly playing a good game of keeping us on our toes about the Black Hood's identity. Though it might seem that Sheriff Keller's strange behavior is explained away by the fact that he's having an affair, that could just be a trick to try and make the audience dismiss him as a suspect. Is Sheriff Keller taking his mission to punish law-breakers a little too seriously? We may find out for sure next week, in Riverdale's midseason finale.

Subbuteo Parramatta Autumn Junior WASPA Tournament Report
The Northern Falcons brought along a strong contingent to join some of the Subbuteo Parramatta regulars and a couple of new players. Oliver and Æowyn were the highest two ranked WASPA players and so took the seeded positions in each group. The other 6 were then drawn randomly into the two groups.
Round One saw Oliver battle his sister, Hermine, the far more experienced older brother taking the honours 3-0. Meanwhile, their club mate Jonas played brand new Subbuteo Parramatta player, Ethan, in his first ever tournament. Ethan put up an excellent showing, but Jonas pipped him 1-0. In Group 2, none of the four players could find the goal. The Elmer sisters hadn't played since their outing in last September's Sydney International Open and it was showing as relative newcomer, Angela, playing her second ever tournament, and youngster Moritz, were both able to hold them to scoreless draws.
The second round was a repeat performance in Group Two, with different player combinations. This time, Imojjen and Æowyn played out a scoreless draw, as did Moritz and Angela. In Group One, Hermine put in an excellent showing, also holding Jonas to a scoreless draw. Tournament favourite, Oliver, put 2 goals past Ethan, the result showing that Ethan was picking up the finer points of the game very quickly.
In the final round, Group One took its turn to go entirely without troubling the scorer as 2 very close games ended in 0-0 draws. Organisers were sweating over some results in Group Two, however, as further draws could have led to a 4-way shootout to determine group positions. In the end, however, both Moritz and Imojjen were able to slip goals past Æowyn and Angela respectively to make the table clear cut.
In the Semi Finals, Moritz played well against Oliver but Oliver's finishing proved the difference with 4 unanswered goals. Meanwhile, Jonas managed a solitary goal against Imojjen to take his place in the Grand Final. The lower placed players also enjoyed consolation friendlies against each other, with all 4 tables in constant action.
In the 3rd/4th Place Play-off, Moritz and Imojjen played out another 0-0 draw, both agreeing their play had taken a turn for the worse as the day was fading. They were declared equal 3rd place getters. After their goalless draw during the group stage, the Grand Final between Oliver and Jonas was shaping up as yet another close affair. Midway through the first half, Oliver took a lead after dominating much of the play. However, Jonas took this as his cue to renew his efforts and began to carve out chances for himself. Over the course of the rest of the game, both players had a few chances to score but couldn't dominate. In the end, the early goal proved to be the difference, with Oliver taking the title.
Many thanks again to Good Games Bella Vista for their hospitality, and to Hermann Kruse from the Northern Falcons for bussing the Junior Falcons across the extreme reaches of Sydney and refereeing at the tournament. Well done to all the players who all performed with the camaraderie and fair play that they have come to be known for.

Alright I never knew if he had a dog but he neglected my blog. So it was time for him to pay and I was no longer going to take his dismay. Let him throw what he wanted to at me. I was going to crush him with a tree.
The facts are simple enough, Mr. Linky thought he could play rough. So I got tough and proved he was nothing but fluff. He thought he could block my link. I made him sink in the dVerse rink, that fink. I guess I just had energy to get rid of. So poor Mr. Linky did not feel the love. But now he knows to always give a pass to my little rhyming ass.
Later all, have a nice fall.

Council: As the Copter Spins
All about the temporary helipads for Formula One weekend
By Michael King, Fri., Nov. 16, 2012
The next time somebody wants to ferry tourists by helicopter across the Austin skyline, it ain't gonna be so easy.
That is the gist of an ordinance passed last Thursday by City Council, a response to temporary helipads now officially authorized to fly passengers to and from this week's Formula One events. Residents of the Barton Hills neighborhood were alarmed to learn through news reports that during the three days of events at the Circuit of the Americas, a helipad would be installed atop a parking garage at the Barton Oaks Plaza complex, near the intersection of MoPac and Bee Caves Road. (Another apparently less controversial site will be atop the Embassy Suites at 300 S. Congress.)
Under the ordinance passed on an emergency basis last week – although too late to affect this week's operations – any temporary helipads will henceforth be limited to 18 flights a day (the MoPac helipad is expecting as many as 46 round-trips this weekend) while city staff gathers stakeholder input and comes back to council with recommendations for a revised ordinance. This week's operations had been approved Wednesday by Aviation Director Jim Smith, acting under his authority granted by the current law, and Smith told the council that the operators had complied with both FAA regulations and current city standards. (That didn't stop at least one neighborhood activist, Robert Corbin, from demanding Smith's termination.)
Melissa Hawthorne, president of the Barton Hills Neighborhood Association, described the situation as "small town, big city blues," and said that while the NA is not opposed to Formula One, residents are concerned that they had not been notified in advance of the proposed helipads (apparently under consideration since April) and there had been no opportunity for public input. "We're good neighbors, and we're good hosts," Hawthorne said, referring to large public events like Austin City Limits Festival, adding that the NA should have been included in the process.
Hawthorne's remarks were echoed by other speakers (among them Cyndi Collen of the Bouldin Creek NA) and amplified by David Alsmeyer of TIG Real Estate, who said his business tenants at the Plaza were also alarmed by the prospect of disruption of their operations.
The ordinance was sponsored by Council Members Laura Morrison and Kathie Tovo. Morrison said the city faces a potential "tipping point" of antagonism to tourism, and, "We're not going to let tourism drive our city past the tipping point." Tovo said the schedule of flights this weekend is "far out of scale with what is reasonable." The proposed ordinance will in principle require applicants to go through the "conditional use" process before the Planning Commission, and for any events in the meantime, the 18-trip limit will be in force. Only Mayor Lee Leffingwell objected to the interim trip limits, saying the numbers were "pulled out of the air ... out of panic and thoughtlessness I can't support."
Council also approved a dozen annexations, including the COTA tract (although staff is still working on an emergency response cooperation agreement with Emergency Service District 11), and (on first reading only, and over the developer's objections) a development-in-the-making near I-35 and Onion Creek Parkway. It also approved the legislative agenda for the city's liaison team and heard two hours of discussion of the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan, but took no action; a sticking point for the mixed-use plan is how flexible to be about drive-through installations, one of the issues to be taken up at the next meeting.
Council meets Monday, Nov. 19, but only for the ritual of canvassing the city election results; the next regular meeting isn't until Dec. 6 (work session Dec. 4).

Many processes for additive manufacturing build up a workpiece in layers: curing resin layer by layer, sintering metal powder layer by layer or extruding a melted material in layer upon layer, for example. Building up a part by stacking slices cut by a five-axis abrasive waterjet (AWJ) cutting machine is also a possibility.
Advances in special software for programming AWJ machines enhance this option for additive manufacturing. CAD software is used to pre-slice a solid model into layers that can then be fed into CAM software to automatically apply the tool path along with bevel cuts, to help minimize what would otherwise be a jagged edge. The machine's five-axis capability is used to bevel, angle or contour the edges. When the layers are stacked, the shaped edges produce an assembly with a smooth configuration that closely replicates the 3D model. The scale model of an aircraft carrier pictured on this page is an example of such an assembly.
Featured Content
The CAM software features needed for this additive manufacturing application are part of the enhancements included in Intelli-CAM from Omax Corp. (Kent, Washington). This programming software is especially tailored for the needs of AWJ machine users. Its capability to handle the unique demands of five-axis waterjet cutting are primarily responsible for the support of AWJ cutting as an additive process. Overall, however, this software is designed to speed programming for all applications in two-axis through five-axis waterjet cutting.
Intelli-CAM, which interfaces directly with the company's Intelli-MAX software suite, generates 3D tool paths from solid 3D models as well as performs 3D-to-2D file conversions. Through its 3D Pather tool, the software generates multi-axis, machine-ready tool paths from complex 3D solid models. It automatically recognizes viable cutting surfaces from those 3D shapes, including variable bevels and tilted cones. This functionality eliminates the need to manually add 3D attributes to a 2D file, thus reducing production times.
The 3D solid is first converted into a series of slices using traditional CAD software, and each slice is sent to Intelli-CAM. Intelli-CAM then quickly assigns XY cutting, and tilt operations to each slice, which is then exported to the machine to be cut. According to developers, the end result can often be created faster than 3D printing or traditional milling, yielding a 3D model that can be manipulated and tested.
There are other inherent benefits of abrasive waterjet machining for this type of 3D additive manufacturing. The model can be cut from almost any material, so the finished model could interact in a magnetic environment, for example, or incorporate mixed materials on different slices to more closely replicate a finished part. The slicing concept is also highly customizable. The user can change details on one slice and try a new configuration without having to create an entirely new prototype. Additional information can be added to the prototype model with the Intelli-MAX scribe and etch features, which could be used to add artistic details, assembly refernce marks, or provide detailed callouts on the model itself.
This programming software operates as a stand-alone application or in tandem with third-party 3D CAD systems in a variety of neutral and native 3D file formats such as CATIA, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Autodesk Inventor, Siemens NX, Pro/E, Creo, Step, IGES, VDA-FS, ACIS, Parasolid, 3D DXF and DWG.
There Are Apps For That, Too
These two iPhone apps provide manufacturing professionals and students with quick access to helpful cutting tool information directly from their smart phones.
DNC: Faster And Better -- Part One
Direct numerical control (DNC) should solve problems, not create them. If you under-stand how DNC works and follow the tips presented in this article, you can maximize its benefits and avoid headaches with your system. Part One of a two-part series.
Interpolating Curves
The ability to import complex curves into CNCs promises to let shops finally get beyond old limitations imposed by contouring with linear interpolation. Faster and smoother cutting will be the result.

Biblical Interpretation: Certainty or Persuasion?
No interpretation of scripture is provable. How would anyone know that it had been proved? Who would be the judge and jury to rule that the case had been made beyond the shadow of a doubt and was now, therefore, closed? Would it then be a fact on which everyone would agree?
The reality is that we tend to think an interpretation has been proved when we are persuaded (or, more commonly, have been indoctrinated) that it is true. But that only means that we believe it. No matter how much evidence we find for our position, it will not be persuasive to everyone. Which is to say that our interpretations will never be the same as facts. Doesn't the possibility always exist that we may be wrong?
The fact that we engage in persuasive discourse regarding alternative interpretations of various biblical texts suggests that none of them are provable. Nevertheless, we reason our way to conclusions that are supportable by the evidence of scripture. Because an interpretation isn't provable doesn't mean that it is without sufficient evidence to make it persuasive. Just never persuasive to everyone.
I think that faith is a matter of persuasion rather than of certainty. The subjective rendering of Hebrews 11:1 that identifies faith with "being certain of what we do not see" would be improved by the objective rendering "the evidence of things not seen," according to the scholarly resources I've consulted. Biblical faith is not a feeling of certainty that comes from a religious experience. Instead, biblical faith is persuasion regarding one's understanding of the biblical testimony about God's fulfillment of his promise. What God has done to fulfill his promise to Abraham (from the birth of Isaac to Sarah through the exodus of Israel from Egypt to the resurrection of Jesus from the dead), as evidenced by the eyewitness testimony preserved by the biblical writers, is the content of "the word," which is the object of biblical faith. As Paul wrote, "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of [meaning both from and about] Christ" (Rom. 10:17). (Any interpretation of Jesus that doesn't focus on the fulfillment of promise is, in my view, suspect.)
And since biblical faith is persuasion regarding (and, therefore, depends on) one's understanding of the biblical testimony, how can one ever be certain that one has understood correctly? Or that one's understanding can't be improved? (And the only alternative to being persuaded by one's own understanding is being indoctrinated—as in told what to believe—by religious authority figures and structures.)
Which is why Jesus exhorted his followers, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you" (Matt. 7:7). The object of one's asking and seeking and knocking is not some earthly good for which one feels the need (which seems to be the most common object of prayer); the object is the truth about God—which, when believed, creates a covenantal relationship with God—as it is revealed in and through Jesus. And the search for a true understanding of God is a lifelong process.
However certain I may FEEL about my interpretation, my feeling of certainty does not equate to absolute truth. If I think it does, I may feel entitled to "disfellowship" anyone who disagrees with me on the grounds that he or she refuses to believe "the word of God." Feelings of certainty, which are sometimes called "convictions," can lead to behavior that is anything but "Christian."
The desire to "prove" interpretations of scripture and achieve absolute certainty may be related to a desire to determine what is essential to believe in order to be saved. The well-known restorationist slogan, "In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, in all things charity," assumes that someone or ones are qualified to determine what the "essentials" are. What's to be gained, however, by identifying certain beliefs as essential to salvation, other than the exclusion from "salvation" of those who disagree? (Which seems more like a loss than a gain.) And it inevitably excludes the "charity"—that is, Christian love—that is supposed to govern "all things" in which Christians engage one another.
It seems better to keep seeking and speaking the truth as one understands it, and let that common search be the ground for unity. And let the power of "the Spirit of truth" (John 16:13, a NT metaphor for the persuasive power of the biblical message) do the persuading.
Absolute certainty is, it seems to me, the prerogative of God. (Which suggests that those who pretend to absolute certainty are "playing God.") The only human approximation would be God's biblical agents—called "the apostles and prophets" (Eph. 2:20)—to whom God revealed "the word," inspiring them to reveal it to others, who preserved their message in the biblical writings. Since they are not around to tell us precisely what they meant and, therefore, what their words mean today, the rest of us must be content with reasoning our way, as the grace of God has opened the way, to persuasion regarding the truth about God.

DIY Baby Quilt – It Turned Out SO Cute!posted by Andrea | 10/24/2011
Our nursery is so close to being finished, but I'm NOT going to give you the full tour just yet…
However, I WILL show you the super cute baby quilt that I made out of mostly scrap fabric {for a total of $8.00}!
So there's the quilt — and I'm simply ecstatic with how well it turned out!
I used white fabric from old sheets, curtains, and a shower curtains to get all the different patterns and textures {which you can see better in some of the photos below}.
And even though the quilt looks fantastic, let me reassure you that is was really very easy to make {I did it on a Friday afternoon}
DIY Quilt Tutorial:
I didn't use a pattern and I didn't really have any instructions to follow, but it's honestly so straight-forward that I know anyone with basic sewing skills and a sewing machine could do this!
STEP #1: Cut Your Strips of Fabric.
I used 3 different white fabrics and cut a variety of 7″ and 4″ wide strips that were all about 28″ in length {which is the size if our crib mattress}. You could obviously make the quilt as big or as small as you want, but just make sure you know what you want your finished product to look like BEFORE you start cutting!
I alternated different sizes and textures just based on what I thought looked nice, so you can be your own designer and get as creative as you want!
STEP #2: Sew Strips Together:
You only need to know how to sew a relatively straight line!
You will also want to make sure that you plan for the "seam allowance" when you cut your strips. I cut mine at 7″ and 4″ wide so that after each side was sewn together it would be about 6″ and 3″.
Once all the strips were sewn together, I ironed the seams flat to make sure the top of the quilt laid nicely.
Because all the fabric is white, it was really hard for me to get a good picture of the fabric details; so I made this photo black and white which helps a little. You can see the different lace trim, raised polka dots and the ruffles {that seriously took me forever to make but are SO worth it!!}
STEP #3: Sew The Front, Back, and Batting Together.
I call this a baby "quilt", but it technically involves no "quilting" — just several straight lines {see I told you it was easy!}
Although I got almost all the fabric for free, I did have to buy the batting for the inside of the quilt, but it's only about $2 per yard and I didn't even need a full yard! I used part of an old white flannel sheet for the back of the quilt to make it really soft and add a little extra warmth.
Once I had all 3 layers {front, batting, back} sandwiched together, I simply sewed a straight line right next to the seams for each fabric strip — so approximately every 3-6 inches {see dotted lines below}. Then I sewed around the edge of the entire quilt and trimmed off any extra fabric.
You don't need to worry about finishing the edges or making them look nice because the blanket binding will cover all the rough edges. This is also really nice because it means you don't need to sew the quilt inside out and then try to flip it and shove the batting in.
STEP #4: Sew the Blanket Binding Around the Edge.
This is the most complicated step… but still not too bad. I purchased one package of white silky "blanket binding" which was about $6 and saved me a ton of time.
Blanket binding is the silk fabric that often goes around the edges of blankets {see photo below}. It comes in a bunch of different colors and it is already pre cut, pre folded, and it won't fray so you can simply sew it right over the edge of the quilt to hide any imperfections or ugly edges!
The tricky part is figuring out how to get the corners just right, and I'm not exactly positive I did it "right" but I followed this video to "help me out" and I think it turned out OK!
The Finished Quilt:
Since I did this project completely without a pattern or any idea of how it would turn out, and I was a bit nervous. However, I figured that with an $8 investment, I wouldn't be out too much if it didn't turn out!
The quilt looks stunning in my Jenny Lind crib {which I'll show you when I take you on the full nursery tour!} and I made it using my Grandma's sewing machine so it will really be a special addition to our nursery and hopefully I'll be able to use it for all our children.
What do you think?
Do you {or did you} have a special hand-made item that you or a close relative made specifically for your children?

24 DIY Home Decor Projects Using Old Curtains - DIY & Crafts04/24/2018
[…] There are lots of ways to recycle the old curtains other than just tossing them off as this absolutely cute and simple baby quilt has been made with ruffles on it. Want to know the complete tutorial? Don't worry we have the link here andreadekker […]
It's beautiful. I'm filing this idea away for the future! Can't wait to see your gorgeous nursery.
So, how did you make the ruffles?

Ann… unless you have lots of patience, DON'T attempt the ruffles!! Ok, well they weren't that bad, but first I had to sew two very long, skinny strips of fabric; then hand sew a "loose" stitch down the middle of each skinny strip to scrunch it up {or ruffle it}; then pin the scrunched up fabric evenly on the quilt; then sew it without breaking my needle or letting the ruffle get too flat.
It looks fantastic so I'm happy about that, but it was definitely more work and more time consuming than I was planning on!

I love your quilt! I saw that you said you had to hand sew when making your ruffles. I avoid hand sewing whenever possible. To make ruffles, I sew a gathering stitch – set your machine on the longest stitch length it will allow – then sew a straight line down the piece you are wanting to ruffle. Be sure to leave long tails of thread at both the beginning and end of your fabric. Then carefully pull the bobbin thread tail from either side to ruffle. I work very slowly to make sure not to break the thread but it works very well for me and I avoid hand sewing. I am definitely going to give your quilt a try for my sister's new baby. I've never made one and you made it look so easy!
Oh it came out sooo sweet.
I made all of my sons crib bedding along with a new hamper and refinished all his furniture, added some homemade artwork etc…. for his shared nursery with his older brother. Can you tell I was nesting like crazy : ). It came out so fun, full of sentimental value, and REALLY economical.
I cannot wait to see your finished nursery!!!!

Thanks Megan! If I had your photography skills, I probably could have made the pictures look a bit better… but at least the quilt gets your approval!

If you are like most property owners, the believed of sorting by means of myriad colour and style choices and deciding on a new entry door, replacement windows, vinyl siding or manufactured stone can be overwhelming. In his case, he rented a crane, then moved the whole property as close as he could to accurate south, even though honoring the setback code (of 5 feet) on a lot that is similarly situated. The architectural finish gives security because no 1 can see what is in the house while you can see the outdoors planet. Find out how shape, proportion, arrangement, trimwork, and grillework can be used to design windows that match your special style.
Usually for an artist studio, windows are on the south side of the building so that the studio is filled with natural light all through the day. I replaced 18 windows on my house in ct for 5K back in '98 so I nearly fell off my chair when I heard today's quote! There is a difficulty, modern sash windows have a diverse set of criteria on the design and style from the traditional styles.
The new demands of maximising profitability and complying with existing regulations are adding complexity to the simplicity of the original design. I'm also not positive if you happen to be asking about retrofitting a building with windows on the north side, or if you are wanting to create, then location the windows on the north side to hold the constructing from gathering any solar heat. Use caulk for stationary cracks, gaps, or joints much less than a single-quarter-inch wide, and weatherstripping for building elements that move, such as doors and operable windows.
Most house owners will prolong renovations till replacement of particular components such as windows or HVAC system becomes a necessity. With the Smart Design and style Objects also on board, it becomes as straightforward as dragging and dropping a variety of design and style objects from the program's expansive library. These assumptions regularly designed limitations on design and style freedom or generated conflicts with other functionality requirements, such as view. Numerous good housekeepers feel that an entrance hall is of crucial significance to a comprehensive property.
Passive Residence has completely operable windows, and most are created to take full advantage of natural ventilation or stack effect to help keep comfy temperatures in the spring, fall, and even summer, based on the regional climate. Or for other possibilities, take a appear at for clerestory windows that would let in light, but block the summer season sun with overhangs, or this house /2011/09/new-technologies-classic-solar-inhome/ for some suggestions.

Alimony is awarded in divorce cases in which one spouse earns more money per year than the other, in order to ensure the spouse with smaller earnings can maintain a standard of living to which they have become accustomed. Historically, alimony has been awarded more often to women than men, but in modern-day Illinois, as around the nation, this is beginning to change. More men are seeking alimony in divorce settlements, but they are facing considerable challenges along the way.
According to statistics, 97 percent of alimony requests are awarded to women on a nation-wide scale, but there may be several reasons why men do not make up a larger percentage of this number. First of all, there are considerable social pressures keeping men from asking: many men feel asking their spouse for money is shameful or embarrassing. It is also true that even in the modern era, men still comfortably outpace women in terms of yearly earnings in most fields.
However, many men are making different career and family choices than they have in the past. Some men have decided to pull back on time spent on their career in the interest of spending more time with family; others have chosen to be stay-at-home parents. When a divorce is filed, the standard of living for these men can change drastically, making alimony an important factor in the proceedings.
Alimony, like most aspects of divorce, can be complicated by emotions or simple finances. It can benefit both members of a divorcing couple to learn the laws and responsibilities associated with alimony in Illinois before they choose to file for divorce. Learning the facts ahead of time can be a powerful step toward a swift, equitable divorce.

It wasn't easy, Manchester United showed their profligacy in front of goal again, but the English Premier League club moved to the semifinals of the Europa League with an extra time win over Anderlecht in the quarterfinals second leg.
With the tie locked up at 1-1 after the first leg in Belgium, the advantage was certainly with Manchester United going into this second leg at Old Trafford, considering they had scored an away goal.
And that advantage only bulged when Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored in the tenth minute.
After Paul Pogba played a wonderful through ball to Marcus Rashford down the left channel, the England forward, initially, tried to find Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The ball rebounded back to him, and Rashford squared the ball to Mkhitaryan, who provided an accomplished finish.
However, Manchester United would not be able to go into halftime with the lead, as Sofiane Hanni equalised, latching onto a rebound in the 32nd minute after an initial shot had hit the crossbar.
Then came the tale of missed chance after missed chance as the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Rashford Jesse Lingard and Pogba all failed to find their range, which meant, with the tie level at 2-2 on aggregate, this Europa League quarterfinal went into extra time.
The extra time was made all the more complicated by the fact that Ibrahimovic had already limped off by then with a knee injury, picked up when he landed awkwardly from an aerial challenge and which could rule the Swede out of the rest of the season.
Rashford, now deployed through the middle, though, would make sure Manchester United would not need penalties to advance by scoring the winner in the 107th minute.
It was a bit route one, with Marouane Fellaini, the big man, nodding the ball down for Rashford inside the box, with the Englishman showing composure by taking a touch, before placing the ball unto the bottom corner.
Manchester United are now ever closer to sealing a Champions League place. With a top four spot via the Premier League looking difficult, Jose Mourinho will want to make sure his team are in Europe's elite competition by going on to win the Europa League.
United's opponents in the semifinals could be Lyon, Ajax or Celta Vigo.

Snow Angels by Kurt Sasso Part 1
Today's contribution comes from longtime friend and reader, Kurt Sasso from TGT Webcomics podcast! As you can see by the date on the story, he wrote this a while ago and I really like it, but I just haven't had time to work with it. Also, this is only part of the story between these two rookies, just enough to whet your appetite. Enjoy!!
Snow Angels – Development league of Rival Angels
Written by Kurt Sasso, 2010
Character Sheet:
Name: Jo "Frostbite" Sinck, friends call her 'Jo'
Age: 22
Martial Skills: JJ, Karate, Muai Thai, Kendo

Hair: Dirty blond, short
Eyes: Hazel
Primary ring outfit colour: Royal Blue
Secondary colour: Light grey
Record: 18-5
Started training in martial arts since the age of six, under multiple sensei's in the same dojo. They were tough but she liked the discipline. They however had a secret that they kept from her until she stumbled on it. They were HUGE Rival Angel fans and even dressed in their favourite wrestlers colours… Sabrina, The Champ, Brooke and Sun.
She then focused her time and efforts to bring herself up in the Snow Angels Developmental league.
Name: Anne "Ember" Fiero
Age: 21
Martial Skills: Greco Wrestler / Dirty Boxer

Father was a 4-time Olympic wrestler, 2-time gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze (he feels was his only failure and trains his daughter hard as over compensation) Ember was picked on in school for being too tough and resented men. Met up with Jo in developmental league and they became friends out of the ring and bitter rivals in the ring.

Jeremy Huddleston from Saddleback Church Huntington Beach in Huntington Beach, CA brings us this
This campus is currently in OceanView High School. They are a portable campus which means everything has to be teardown ready. Nothing can be screwed to a wall, hung from the ceiling, or mounted to stage. Everything has to be freestanding. So Jeremy scratched an idea out on a small notepad and went to HomeDepot.
The first part of this design was building four 4×8 frames out of 2×4's. They were backed with a cheap piece of luan, painted flat black, and covered with some of his favorite stage material: "Reflectix" insulation. He hot glued the Reflectix to the luan plywood. The staple tab texture catches light really well and has kind of an LED look. Plus its a little over $100 for a 4'x100′ roll so it makes a BIG impact for cheap.
Next, Jeremy wanted a little more texture. So he built four 8′ tall x 16″ wide frames with no back (again out of 2×4's and painted black) and hot glued three 24″x24″ air filters on each one (wrapped the edges in dark tape to frame them out). Metal "L" Brackets screwed to the bottoms of the frames gave them feet to stand on their own.
They have only 4 Chauvet LED bars on the floor lighting the set and the staple tab also catches light from the front of house truss. The entire thing can be torn down in about three minutes.
With paint supplies, screws, lumber, insulation filters, braces, etc. this was about a $400 project.

January Update - news from the club
Mike Landers: "The Insurance on the clubs £380k fleet of boats is due for renewal at the end of February. Club members who have private boats can take advantage of the clubs buying power and insure their boats at a competitive rate of around £22.50 per £1,000 with a £75 excess. Whilst we're not yet going down the route many clubs have taken of making having insurance a condition of getting access to a club rack we would actively encourage everyone to insure their boat. Most of the private singles at the club are worth around £2,000 and it wouldn't take more than a minor incident for £45 worth of cover to feel like great value. Please contact the club insurance lead Mike Landers at email@example.com with: your contact details, the boats registration number (eg MAR123) make, weight, year of build and replacement value of your boat if you'd like the peace of mind that comes from being adequately covered. Mike will get back in touch with you with an invoice towards the end of February.Many thanks to Alastair for managing this activity for the club over the last 60 years...."
Ed Phillips: "Despite the rain, the rebuild has been continuing. By early December the building was demolished. By Christmas the site was completely clear allowing views of the bridge not possible for 110 years: and views of flooding not seen in several years. The piling mat - the rock layer for the piling rig to stand on - was down. Piling happened quickly once started after Christmas with the piling rig on site and finished by the 10th January. By the 19th January the piling mat was removed and the pile heads had been exposed and trenches for the beams dug. A week later more of the foundation digging and shaping was complete and the reinforcement for the pile caps was being assembled. This week the foundations for the first boat bay are clear and the rest are starting to be put in place.
Behind the scenes the property sub-committee continues work on the designs of the kitchen, bar and ventilation areas."

Contact image sensor
This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Contact image sensors (CIS) are image sensors used in flatbed scanners almost in direct contact with the object to be scanned. Charge-coupled devices (CCDs), often used for this application, use mirrors to bounce light to a stationary sensor. CISs are much smaller than CCDs, use typically a tenth as much power, and are particularly suitable for low power and portable applications, often powered over USB.[1]
A CIS typically consists of a linear array of detectors, covered by focusing lenses and flanked by red, green, and blue LEDs for illumination. The use of LEDs allows the CIS to be highly power efficient, allowing scanners to be powered through the minimal line voltage supplied via a USB connection. CIS devices typically produce lower image quality compared to CCD devices; in particular, the depth of field is greatly limited, which poses a problem for material that is not perfectly flat. However, a CIS contact sensor is smaller and lighter than a CCD line sensor, and allows all the necessary optical elements to be included in a compact module, thus helping to simplify the inner structure of the scanner. With a CIS contact sensor, the scanner can be portable, with a height of only around 30 mm. CIS is both a key component of, and widely used in, scanners (especially portable scanners), electrographs, bar code readers and optical identification technology.

Welcome to today's edition of Connections Abound. The Face-to-Face Lost and Found page is permanently located beneath this current post. Old Connections Abound can be accessed via the date or subject archives listed on the sidebar. Check the submissions page, FAQ, and ways to get involved for additional information. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions/concerns.
Lost and Found is open to anyone in the infertility, pregnancy loss, adoption, pregnancy-and-parenting after infertility, assisted conception, living child-free after infertility or loss community (as well as anyone I inadvertently missed on that list). Please support the list as well as anyone posting announcements below.
- PenchancetoDream has a question: "Well….following on the heels of my miscarriage in December, I'm now in the process of miscarrying from a chemical pregnancy. Because of multiple cysts, we're going to be doing a natural IUI cycle. I would love to know if anyone on the boards has had luck with a nonmedicated IUI cycle…." You can contact her via her blog.
- Meg at On the Wrong Side of Statistics has a question about removing a septum. If you can answer her questions, head on over and give her your thoughts.
- Katie from The Unlikely Life has a really great cause that she is currently fundraising for by participating in Great Strides: "On top of IF, I have Cystic Fibrosis, and I am currently registered as a team leader to participate in my local Great Strides walk. This is a fund-raiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in hopes to find a cure for the thousands of people (and new ones being born every day) that are afflicted with this disease. This is something I am hugely passionate about (for obvious reasons), and I have written a blog post (the direct url is http://katsbitsandpieces
.blogspot.com/2008/02/great) about the walk and asking people to consider sponsoring me and donating through my official and secure CFF sponsored web page. Although infertility is not my main reason for doing this, CF does affect fertility (both male and female). Of course donating is completely optional, I am just trying to let people know it exists. Thanks!" -strides-walk.html
- On the topic of movies, it is time for the 4th International Infertility Film Festival. The theme this time is "Finding Out, Letting Go, Realizing." The screening will be on the 29th of March. Let me level with you, I never made a film until Bea kicked my ass for the first festival and told me that there are simple programs out there for making movies. Ours are still frames of Microsoft Paint pictures pulled together in quick succession to create the illusion of movement, but you can also set a series of photos to music or grab the video camera and start interviewing people in the waiting room at your clinic. The choices are endless and Bea (as well as the IIFF site) is a wealth of information on movie making. So if you've been seeking a creative outlet, here is your chance to pull together an entry and enter it in the next IIFF. And go on to fame and fortune.
- If you notice another loading slow down or receive error messages for Stirrup Queens or Lost and Found, please let me know. Now I'm nervous every time I add anything to the side bar!

Records sent to a new school will include whatever was forwarded to BayShore from the child's previous school, along with semester reports and attendance for the time enrolled with BayShore School. If you did not submit reports, a notation to that effect will be included in the child's cumulative folder.
About Transcripts …
Please be advised that BayShore School does not automatically generate transcripts for its enrolled students unless specifically requested by the parents while the child is still actively enrolled.
BayShore School is an alternative private school; as a result, many practices found in more traditional educational settings are not followed here. One of these differences is that letter grades are not assigned to student work. Additionally, transcripts are not automatically generated for students. Many students have found that neither are needed to successfully progress to their becoming a contributing member of society.
BayShore School students do not receive letter grades, unless specifically requested by parents, and only for students enrolled in the high school grades (9-12). Enrolled families submit semester reports twice a year, and those become part of each student's cumulative file. Those who eventually decide to transfer to more traditional school settings often require traditional transcripts, in addition to, or in lieu of the narrative semester reports. Transferring these reports to transcripts is an additional service that is not included in the basic tuition costs. Contact BayShore for additional information.
To go back to create transcripts after a child is no longer enrolled, would be to falsify records – something BayShore School will not do. Please do not ask.
Leaving BayShore School?
We are sorry to see you go … we wish you much success with your new choices!
A few simple guidelines to make the process go smoothly:
If you are filing your own R-4 PSA, your child(ren)'s cumulative file(s) will be forwarded to you only after you have submitted a records request from your new school (sample below). This must be submitted by USPS. Requests received via telephone, voice mail, fax, email, or in-person will not be acknowledged. No exceptions.
If you are enrolling your child(ren) in a new school/private ISP/charter program/private school, all requests for record transfers must be submitted by USPS. Requests for records received during the "busy season" (August through early October) will take at least one month to transfer the records to the new school. I apologize for this delay, but BayShore School is operated by one person. If you are intending to move to a different program, please plan ahead!
If you are leaving the state, but plan to continue homeschooling, check your new state's homeschooling laws, and notify BayShore School of the change. Student records will be processed accordingly. Not sure where you'll be settling? You can request your child's records be forwarded to you.
Transfer Charges
There is no charge to forward records to new schools, unless your child has an especially large cumulative file.
If your students' files weigh more than 12 oz. a trip to the post office will be necessary. As a result, BayShore School has adopted the following policy to offset the costs associated with mailing large quantities of records (generally those who have been enrolled in public school special education programs):
Any student who transfers out of BayShore School and requests records be forwarded to a new school will be subject to covering shipping and handling charges if the records to be sent weigh over 13 oz. Any package over 13 oz. requires a trip to the post office, and in some cases a considerable amount of postage (such as students with IEPs that generate exceptionally large amounts of paper). This cost will vary, depending on the weight of the package, whether a special mailing box/envelope must be purchased, and a flat fee for handling. Upon receipt of a records request (either from a new school or from the parent), BayShore School will respond to the enrolled family with an email stating whether or not such a fee will be levied, and if so, the amount due and payment instructions.

Gallery: The Best-Looking Burgers of 2013, Part 2
Barleymash, San Diego
"I (wrongly) wrote-off Barleymash as just another Gaslamp Quarter 'brostaurant', but it turns out, in addition to libations, this suds-soaked spot also turns out solid burgers." —Erin Jackson, AHT Contributing Editor, San Diego Contributor
600 5th Ave, San Diego CA 92101 (map); 619-255-7373; barleymash.com
Ate-Oh-Ate, Portland
"In the grand burger tradition of topping meat with more meat, Ate-Oh-Ate throws a couple thick slabs of pork belly on the beef patty, to great effect. Crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside, and streaked with melt-in-your-mouth fat, it's a more than worthy substitute for the more prevalent use of the same cut of pig. The rich flavor of the pork pairs well with both the beef and the mound of crunchy shredded iceberg lettuce and shaved sweet onion." —Adam Lindsley, Portland Contributor
2454 E Burnside St., Portland OR 97214 (map); 503-445-6101; ate-oh-ate.com
25 Degrees, Chicago
"The Number Three is decked out with Mezzo Secco Jack cheese, green chile, avocado, and chipotle sauce. I'm usually happy with traditional toppings like, cheese, grilled onions, and sometimes bacon, but I'm glad my curiosity got the better of me. It's a very balanced burger, with the slightly bitter cooked chiles helping cut through the natural richness of the beef." —Dennis Lee, Chicago Contributor

Jake's Wayback Burger
"Despite being pressed out on the griddle, the patties are still juicy, helped by the 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio of the beef, while hovering just slightly above the default medium doneness. You can't specify any other doneness, but don't worry; they know what they're doing. The patty's flavor comes across as almost neutral in its beefiness—enough to notice it through the toppings but not so much to make you say, 'Wow, how'd they do that?'" —Charlie Taylor, Philadelphia Contributor

Monkey Burger, Tucson AZ
"My opinion of Monkey Burger turned around when I tried the basic Bare Bones burger, only topping it with cheddar. Once I bit into it I understood why people rave about Monkey Burger. You could really taste the beefiness, the seasonings, and that lovely char flavor. I'd recommend going this route instead of ordering a burger piled with toppings." —Rita Connelly, Tuscon Contributor
5350 E Broadway Blvd, Tucson AZ 85711 (map); 520-514-9797; monkeyburgerrestaurant.com
One Eared Stag, Atlanta
"While not a "secret" item per se, this burger isn't blatantly obvious. It's listed on the menu only by its naughty-sounding codename, and with zero accompanying description that might clue you in to the fact that it is, in fact, a burger. At one time, it was available only at the bar, only after 5 p.m., and only to those in the know. Word spread, though, and the Meatstick was added to the lunch menu. (Want one during dinner hours? Just ask.)" —Todd Brock, Atlanta Contributor

Small Axe Truck, Portland ME
"Karl Deuben and Bill Leavy, alums of Hugo's and Miyake who added their truck to Portland, Maine's small fleet this past spring, get the raw materials right: local beef chuck (often fromCaldwell Farm or Archer Angus), local Jack cheese (Pineland Farm), and light brioche buns designed and baked just for them by the folks over at Southside Bakery, the wholesale division of 158 Pickett Street Cafe. Those components alone would add up to a damn fine burger, but Deuben and Leavy took a few flavor risks that really paid off." —Liz Bomze

Turkey Burger from The Counter
"This turkey burger stacked with maple-glazed ham, sweet potato hash (which looks like a thin, smashed latke), cranberries, red onion, and spinach on a brioche-style bun was the featured burger at The Counter during the month of November. The warm rosemary cream sauce it was served with really tied it together." —Erin Jackson, AHT Contributing Editor, San Diego Contributor
The Ettore Burger, Sacramento
"I only got to try a few bites of this burger from Ettore's during the 2013 Sacramento Burger Battle, since I was in judging mode, but it's both one of the tastiest and best-looking burgers I ate all year." —Erin Jackson, AHT Contributing Editor, San Diego Contributor

Best places to visit in Mauritania
If you're a lover of ancient history and you love visiting ancient cities, then you're in for a ride in Mauritania. Its ancient cities are a monument to the country's rich and glorious past during the times of the Trans-Saharan trade, making Mauritanian cities the relays for the caravans between North Africa and Black Africa or the Sub-Saharan region of Africa.
A tour of the Affolé and Assaba regions is worthwhile. Some interesting archaeological sites include the Koumbi Saleh which used to be the capital of the Ghana Empire and is located just 70 kilometers off Timbedra. Within the distance of Tamchakett is Tagdawst, the ancient capital of a Berber empire. At the end of a desert track in Néma is Oualata, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was, at the time of the Trans-Saharan trade, one of the major caravan entrepots. One can see a fortified medieval town upon a rocky peak. Scholars have been enticed to this place for many centuries since it also boasts of a library with fine collection.
Chinguetti, revered as the 7th Holy City of Islam, was popular among scholars and scientists of the Koran because it was a religious center. It played an important religious and commercial role because it was a stopover for the pilgrims on their way to Mecca, as well as one of the caravan cities. Today, although most of the city of Chinguetti is buried under sand dunes, an 8th-century mosque and most of the city's family libraries containing significant manuscripts may still be visited.
Ouadane was a burgeoning caravan city at the time, made famous by its lush palm plantations, seemingly lost in the middle of the Sahara. It boasts of seven magnificent mosques and large libraries with a very rich collection.

Senior Attributes Position to Professorial Support
Austin Hannaleck '16 of Adams, Mass., won't graduate for another two months, but his first job as a software engineer at General Dynamics Mission Systems in nearby Pittsfield is waiting for him. The full-time job offer came as a result of the summer internship he served at the company last year.
According to Hannaleck, MCLA best prepared him for success as a software engineer by providing a well-rounded curriculum which allows for a wide exploration of all facets of the field.
"The computer science program covers a lot of territory. The breadth of the major is massive, so you don't get too deep into any one subject," he explained. "You will find your specialty, and when you do, you will be encouraged to dig deeper."
Hannaleck loves the process he undertakes when writing computer code.
"Your computer has no idea what to do until you write its instructions. It's incredibly gratifying to start with a blank slate and come out with a fully functional project," he said.
The most challenging part of his field is staying up-to-date with the latest technological developments. "Computer science is constantly evolving, and trying to keep up with all the new advances can be daunting," Hannaleck said.
Although the program is relatively challenging, MCLA's faculty are more than eager to help, he continued. "There is a mutual understanding between the students and professors that some of the concepts aren't so easy to grasp, so it never feels like a hassle to ask a professor for help."
It was Hannaleck's membership in the campus's Computer Society organization that introduced him to General Dynamics, the world's fifth largest defense contractor.
"The summer internship was great because I got to apply everything I've learned to a real world situation," he said. "Plus, I was getting paid to do what I love. It doesn't get much better than that! It really made me appreciate everything I've learned at MCLA."
Hannaleck recommends MCLA to prospective students. In addition to small class sizes that provide opportunities for one-on-one attention from professors, "The staff are some of the funniest, down-to-earth people I have ever met," he said. "If computer science is something you're interested in, you won't be disappointed."
Eventually, Hannaleck would like to become a web application developer. "I enjoy programming, but I also love the visual aspect of creating a web app, and there is something very satisfying about having your work on the Internet for everyone to enjoy," he said.
However, his dream job is to one day work for Google: "I've always had a fascination with their technology, and I would love to be a part of their team."
Hannaleck advises students to get to know their professors.
"They inspired and pushed me to be the best I could be," he explained. "I honestly believe I wouldn't have the job I have now without their support, which is really the end goal of college, is it not?
"And, not only are they excellent resources, but they are also great friends. I have found many common interests outside of computer science with my professors, and I'm very grateful to have the relationship I have with them."

Randomised comparison of uterine artery embolisation (UAE) with surgical treatment in patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids (REST trial) : 5-Year results
Publication Date
Publication Details
Moss, J., Cooper, K., Khaund, A., Murray, L., Murray, G., Wu, O., Craig, L. & Lumsden, M. (2011). Randomised comparison of uterine artery embolisation (UAE) with surgical treatment in patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids (REST trial) : 5-Year results. BJOG: an International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology,118(8), 936-944. Retrieved from https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1471-0528.2011.02952.x
Objective: To compare the long-term results of uterine artery embolisation (UAE) with surgery for women with symptomatic uterine fibroids. Design: Pragmatic, open, multicentre, randomised trial. Setting: Twenty-seven participating UK secondary care centres. Sample: Women aged ≥18 years with symptomatic fibroids who were considered to justify surgical treatment. Methods: In total, 157 women were randomised (in a 2:1 ratio): 106 to UAE and 51 to surgery (hysterectomy 42; myomectomy nine). Main outcome measures: Quality of life at 5 years, as assessed by the Short Form General Health Survey (SF-36). Secondary measures included complications, adverse events and the need for further intervention. Results: There were no significant differences between groups in any of the eight components of the SF-36 scores at 5 years (minimum P = 0.45). Symptom score reduction and patient satisfaction with either treatment was very high, with no group difference. Rates of adverse events were similar in both groups (19% embolization and 25% surgery; P = 0.40). The 5-year intervention rate for treatment failure or complications was 32% (UAE arm) and 4% (surgery arm), respectively. The initial cost benefit of UAE over surgery at 12 months was substantially reduced because of subsequent interventions, with treatments being cost neutral at 5 years. Conclusions: We have found that UAE is a satisfactory alternative to surgery for fibroids. The less invasive nature of UAE needs to be balanced against the need for re-intervention in almost a third of patients. The choice should lie with the informed patient.

Carroll University's Kevin Dineen allowed just one earned run in seven innings of relief and the Pioneers topped Hamilton College 6-3 in a non-conference game at Chain of Lakes Park in Winter Haven, Fla., on March 26.
Dineen pitched from the second inning through the eighth for the win and Zach Wiseman closed it out in the ninth for the save. Eight Pioneers had one hit and Phil Giuffre, Alex Hallenbeck and Mitch Marty drove in one run each.
Gabe Klein '13, Zack Becker '16, Sam Fuentes '13 and Steve LaRochelle '14 collected two hits each for the Continentals. Fuentes also drove in a run and Klein scored twice. Tommy Moriarty '14 and Colin Henneberger '14 pitched solid in relief. Moriarty went 3.1 innings and gave up just one earned run, and Henneberger pitched 1.1 hitless innings.
The Continentals (6-7 overall) got one run in the top of the first inning. With two outs, Klein walked and Tim Burke '16 hit a single to the gap in right center that moved him over to third. Klein came across the plate and Burke went to second on a passed ball. Fuentes walked and he and pinch-runner Henneberger stole second and third, respectively. But the Pioneers were able to get out of the inning with a strikeout.
Carroll (4-2) threatened to tie the score in the bottom of the first after it loaded the bases with no outs. But Joe Klobukowski lined into a double play and Mike Williams '16 got the next batter to fly out to center.
The Pioneers broke through with three runs in the bottom of the second. Alex Olsen led off with a single up the middle. Following an out, Eric Keenan hit a single down the left field line and moved up to second on the throw, and Carroll had two runners in scoring position. Marty's groundout plated Olsen. Jordan Stephans walked and stole second as Keenan scooted home on the throw. Giuffre drove in Keenan with a double to left field.
After a scoreless third inning, Carroll added one run in the fourth and fifth for a 5-1 lead. Hallenbeck started the fourth with an infield single, proceeded to steal second and third base, and scored on an error.
In the fifth, Tyler Schovanec hit an infield single and Klobukowski reached base on an error. Ben Turner moved the runners over with a sacrifice bunt. Olsen hit a grounder to short and Becker tried to get Schovanec out at the plate, but Tyler Reinhold '15 couldn't handle the throw. Klobukowski also attempted to score on the play, but Reinhold tossed the ball to Moriarty for the tag.
Hamilton got out of another bases-loaded jam in the sixth inning. The Pioneers loaded the bases with one out, but Marty was forced out at the plate on Schovanec's grounder, and Moriarty got Klobukowski on a strikeout that ended the inning.
Carroll tacked on another run in the seventh inning for a 6-1 advantage. Turner smacked a single to left, stole second and came around to score on consecutive groundouts to second base.
The Continentals cut their deficit in half with two runs in the top of the eighth. Klein and Henneberger each hit singles and ended up at second and third after an errant throw. Groundouts by Fuentes and Nick Taylor '15 scored both runners and it was 6-3.
The Pioneers left two runners on base in the bottom of the eighth inning. Wiseman entered the game for the final inning and picked up his second save. However, Hamilton made it interesting.
Jensen walked and stole second, and Becker's single put runners at the corners. Klein came to bat representing the tying run and hit a grounder towards second that appeared to be a base hit. But runner's interference was called, Becker was forced out on the play and Jensen was sent back to third. Hamilton still had the tying run at the plate with two outs, but pinch hitter Ben Goffin '15 ended the game with a groundout.
The Continentals travel to Wesleyan University for a NESCAC West Division game on Friday, March 29, at 4 p.m.

GianFranco "John" Venditti was one of those very rare people whose positive and forthright dealings with family, friends and colleagues left all richer for the experience. In August 2010 we unexpectedly lost John due to undetected heart disease (arteriosclerosis).
Those of us who had the good fortune to know John, were always touched by his open-heartedness, sincerity and generosity. John was a caring and wonderful family man who engendered goodwill and friendship in all that crossed his path.
His loss is immeasurable and he will be deeply missed.
After his family, John loved the game of golf. With that in mind we have created the "John Venditti Memorial Golf Tournament". It will be an annual event with all of the proceeds going to the GFV (GianFranco Venditti) fund. Portions of the funds will be donated to the heart association and scholarships will be awarded to High School Athletes with strong Academic credentials.
The tournament and fund will embody everything we loved about John... energy, generosity and passion.
We look forward to your support.

Compulsory Licensing: Practical Experiences And Ways Forward
Hilty Reto
Under the auspices of the Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property and Competition Law (now the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition). And Institutum Iurisprudentiae, Academia Sinica, a group of twenty scholars from around the world gathered to study the experiences made with regards to compulsory licensing. The results are demonstrated in this book. Different articles analyze how the international conventions on intellectual property may be interpreted and explore the related doctrinal groundwork surrounding compulsory patent licensing and beyond. It is shown how the compulsory licensing regime could be transformed into a truly workable mechanism facilitating the speedy use and dissemination of innovation and other subject matters of protection.
