This is the furniture finish that fooled our local auctioneer, a man with 30 years of experience selling antique furniture and farm equipment.
I had bought a mower from the auctioneer and he was dropping it off at my workshop when he spotted one of my furniture pieces that sported what I call a barn finish.
He walked over to the piece and asked what I'd repaired on it. I replied that it wasn't an antique that needed fixing; instead, I had just finished building it and was about to deliver it to a customer.
He didn't believe me.
After a few minutes of debate, I finally turned the piece over to show him a spot of new, raw wood that was unfinished.
"In all my years," he said, "I have never seen a finish like that."
New Finish That Looks Old
While I don't think this finish would fool an expert on antique furniture, it is a convincing way to add centuries of patina to your projects so they will fit in with an older home or other pieces of antique furniture.
This finish is my favorite to do. You cannot mess it up. Even if you don't like the final result, you can simply add another coat of lacquer and paint until you get the look you want. Every layer simply adds more texture to the project and makes the finish look better.
Unlike many antiqued painted finishes, this one is safe enough that I allow my daughter to do it. Other finish processes involve a stage where you char a layer of paint with a gas torch or by setting the piece on fire. I've tried those methods but I don't like them. And I'm sure my insurance company would agree.
Instead, I use a high-temperature heat gun. Look for one that has at least 1,500 watts or 1,000° – these are available at industrial supply stores. (Editor's note: This has been corrected from the print edition of this article. See the blog for details.) Heat guns are a bit slower than a torch, but they're safer. And I'll show you how to save some time by skipping a coloring step that makes no difference to the finished look of the piece.
Whenever you use this finish, be sure to practice on a sample board at each stage before you move onto the finished project. That way you'll see what the next step is going to look like. And when you are done, you'll have a great sample board to keep.
Begin With Abuse
Before you add color, the first step is to mimic 200 years of use and abuse to the piece. I use a utility knife to chamfer edges, a drill bit to create worm holes and an awl to make bite marks from a dog. To demonstrate lots of wear, use a chisel to imitate a mouse hole. Heat a tin can and place it on the wood to char it. At the end, beat it with a cluster of keys then sand the edges with a power sander.
Aging requires a little creative thinking to decide what areas of the project would see the most scuffing, but it will be obvious if you first look at some real antiques. Concentrate on the base, the knobs, mouldings, doors and drawers. Let the kids help – they'll require little training.
Don't Begin With Stain
At its heart, this finish begins with a layer of paint, then a coat of lacquer then another coat of paint. You then blister and scrape your top coat of paint and repeat the whole process again. Then, at the end, you wipe on a glaze to add grime and a coat of dull lacquer to seal it all in.
Some other antique finishes recommend that you start by staining the entire piece and then add the paint. I've done this many times myself, and I think you can skip that step. Any raw wood that you expose during the aging process will be colored by the glaze in the end. And in all my years of doing this finish, I've never had the finish peel, so I think a base coat of stain is unnecessary.
Begin by brushing on a coat of latex paint. (Hint: Allow the brush to fall on the floor and get some sawdust on it.) Let the paint dry. If some areas of the paint look thin, add a second coat.
Now spray on a coat of lacquer (or brush on a coat of brushing lacquer) and add another one or two coats of the same color paint. Let it dry and get your heat gun.

by Will_Ripamonti » Thu Sep 19, 2013 4:54 pmI love the idea, an Agent Carter show set during WW2 would be cool, I'd like to see more Marvel ladies kicking ass on prime time and Hayley Atwell's Carter rocks.
Captain America worked as movie because it was essentially a war movie with a superhuman mani character and a touch of sci-fi instead of just a superhero movie set during the war, a series like that should keep the same register.
Since Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is officially an expansion of the cinematic universe, an Agent Carter series could use the same treatment and take the chance to introduce and play with classic characters from the days of the War such as Masterman and Zemo Sr. or members of the Invaders like Destroyer or (if they wanna shoot a big one and if the FF cinematic rights allows it) even Namor.

The actress that plays Sharon is on another show so it'd be harder. I really like the idea of a show starring Peggy. She could be the first SHIELD agent.
If they got Howard Stark on the supporting cast it'd be extra cool!
by Grayson » Thu Sep 19, 2013 5:15 pmI would definitely watch an Agent Carter series.
Too bad they didn't cast Yvonne Strahovski as Sharon Carter. She would have been perfect for the role and she could have been a great bridge between Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., this project, and the movie universe.
by sdsichero » Thu Sep 19, 2013 5:42 pm
I'd like to be intertwined with Atwell...
... what? Oh yeah, an Agent Carter show sounds good.

I would suspect that a Marvel Channel might round out programming (at least at first) with Disney and non-Disney owned action/SF related stuff like Lost, Star Wars, Pixar, maybe even Star Trek in the early stages. Just to attract a non-comic audience.
by The Old Doctor » Thu Sep 19, 2013 6:13 pm
That was called SyFy and Space here in Canada. Both suck now.
by HNutz » Thu Sep 19, 2013 6:17 pm
Or they could do like Young Indiana Jones and make some episodes focusing on Sharon only, some on Peggy only and then some that feature them both in some form or fashion.
by Juan Cena » Thu Sep 19, 2013 6:27 pm
Since Marvel will have the Star Wars license starting next year, showing Star Wars stuff would actually make sense.
by habitual » Thu Sep 19, 2013 6:35 pmA Marvel channel would be redundant. Disney has at least 3 channels on most service providers already.
by Juan Cena » Thu Sep 19, 2013 6:50 pm
Like when has that ever stopped a media conglomerate?
The Disney-Branded networks are kid and family-oriented anyhow. A Marvel channel would be aimed at an older (presumably male) audience. Though it might carry Marvel animation for daytime and early-evening programming.
by locuas » Thu Sep 19, 2013 6:58 pm
Actually, i think it would be easier to produce than Doctor Who, who can go from far future, to victorian england, to 50's america all in the same season. besides, they already have costumes from the captain america movies they could use to reduce costs. that is a trick plenty of studios use. Star trek is the best example.
by habitual » Thu Sep 19, 2013 7:04 pm
Totally redundant and unnecessary.
The purchase was for content, not new pipelines.
by Draco x » Thu Sep 19, 2013 8:02 pm
Exactly this. Plus I would love for them to introduce other characters like Madame Hydra, Strucker, Jack Munroe, the Grand Director, Alexander Luksin and Nick Fury's father and even have Zola and the Howling Commandoes as recurring characters. .
by Draco x » Thu Sep 19, 2013 8:09 pm
But the same could be said of Birds Of Prey, Human Target and that awful Justice League pilot in the 90s which also came and went with little notice. Granted DC has had successful shows based around the Superman and Batman franchisese and Wonder Woman incarnation with Lynda Carter in the past but not much else aside from Arrow right now. Not hating but just pointing out Marvel has more venues whereas DC and WB primarily on the same characters over and over.

ICD-10 Diagnosis Code S73.014
Posterior dislocation of right hip
Diagnosis Code S73.014
Short Description: Posterior dislocation of right hip
Long Description: Posterior dislocation of right hip
This is the 2018 version of the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code S73.014
Not Valid for Submission
The code S73.014 is a "header" and not valid for submission for HIPAA-covered transactions.
Code Classification
Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00–T98)
Injuries to the hip and thigh (S70-S79)
- Dislocation and sprain of joint and ligaments of hip (S73)
- Injuries to the hip and thigh (S70-S79)
Information for Patients
Dislocations are joint injuries that force the ends of your bones out of position. The cause is often a fall or a blow, sometimes from playing a contact sport. You can dislocate your ankles, knees, shoulders, hips, elbows and jaw. You can also dislocate your finger and toe joints. Dislocated joints often are swollen, very painful and visibly out of place. You may not be able to move it.
A dislocated joint is an emergency. If you have one, seek medical attention. Treatment depends on which joint you dislocate and the severity of the injury. It might include manipulations to reposition your bones, medicine, a splint or sling, and rehabilitation. When properly repositioned, a joint will usually function and move normally again in a few weeks. Once you dislocate a shoulder or kneecap, you are more likely to dislocate it again. Wearing protective gear during sports may help prevent dislocations.

Hip Injuries and Disorders
Your hip is the joint where your thigh bone meets your pelvis bone. Hips are called ball-and-socket joints because the ball-like top of your thigh bone moves within a cup-like space in your pelvis. Your hips are very stable. When they are healthy, it takes great force to hurt them. However, playing sports, running, overuse or falling can all sometimes lead to hip injuries. These include
- Strains
- Bursitis
- Dislocations
- Fractures
Certain diseases also lead to hip injuries or problems. Osteoarthritis can cause pain and limited motion. Osteoporosis of the hip causes weak bones that break easily. Both of these are common in older people.
Treatment for hip disorders may include rest, medicines, physical therapy, or surgery, including hip replacement.

When it comes to editing photographs on OS X, Apple users are quite spoilt for choice. Those who just want to remove those ghastly devil eyes from their holiday snaps and turn them into a fancy scrapbook for the rest of the family to coo over can use iPhoto, part of the iLife package, which is bundled in with all new Macs. Photographers looking for a few more advanced features often turn to Apple's offering, Aperture, or Adobe's Lightroom — both offering a feature set that keeps most semi-professional and professional photographers happy.
You'll notice my use of the word "often" in the above paragraph — this is because that for most, Aperture and Lightroom seem to be the de facto options. Funnily enough, there are other professional photographic programs out there for Mac users that offer a feature set that rivals both Aperture and Lightroom. To see whether this statement was true or not, I took a look at Capture One Pro, from Danish developers Phase One. What is interesting about these guys is that they are both a hardware and software manufacturer — the company sells camera bodies for professional use and lenses to match — much like Nikon does with its Capture NX 2 software.
Let's see whether Capture One Pro lives up to the reputation of Aperture and Lightroom and, perhaps more importantly, if it is worth that €229 ($300) price-tag.


text: North Dakota Stockmen's to Seek Increase in $1 Beef Checkoff December 19, 2013 02:57 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Associated Press Email Source: Associated Press The North Dakota Stockmen's Association plans to ask the 2015 Legislature to double the $1-per-head checkoff that ranchers pay when they sell cattle. The national beef checkoff, which is used to fund beef research, education and promotion, hasn't changed for nearly three decades, prompting seven states to increase it at the state level in recent years. Chairmen of the House and Senate agriculture committees say that for North Dakota to become the eighth, the Stockmen's will need to show that an increase is necessary. Lawmakers "have always been a little reluctant to increase fees unless justified," said Rep. Dennis Johnson, R-Devils Lake, a grain farmer and former rancher. "Whenever we talk about checkoff increases, there's always going to be a good hearing as to why it's needed. If they can justify it — if their members want it — they'll probably get the support." Sen. Joe Miller, R-Park River, also a farmer, didn't speculate about possible support among lawmakers but said Stockmen's leaders will need to "properly lay out their reasoning," and that the proposal will be "thoroughly examined and properly scrutinized." Congress authorized the national beef checkoff program at the dollar-per-head level in 1985. The North Dakota Beef Commission is required to forward half of the money collected from ranchers in the state to a national beef board. The other half can be used in-state or for national efforts. The amount spent in-state varies from year to year, according to Stockmen's Executive Vice President Julie Ellingson. "Because of lower cattle numbers in the country and the inflation factor, the estimate is that the $1 checkoff has only 47 cents of the buying power it had in 1985," Ellingson said. "We have less dollars in the pool to make those investments" in bolstering beef production and consumption. Under the Stockmen's proposal, half of the $2 checkoff for every animal sold would go to the national board and the other half would stay with the state Beef Commission. Ranchers would have the option of asking for the second dollar to be refunded — effectively making participation in the checkoff increase voluntary. Beef prices in the grocery store are at or near record highs, but Ellingson said that could make other meats more attractive. "We want to remain competitive and promote our product," she said. "It's great to have high prices, but we also don't want to turn consumers away to a different protein product." Towner rancher and Stockmen's President Jason Zahn said the state group would prefer a national increase in the checkoff but that a national consensus needed to push a fee hike through Congress appears unlikely. In the absence of that, Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, Utah, Idaho, Oregon and Washington have increased checkoffs at the state level. Stockmen's leaders plan to visit with legislative leaders to gauge support for the proposed raise. "Anytime you increase a fee you're going to get some pushback," Zahn said. But with recent good years for ranchers due to higher cattle prices and cheaper feed, "now is probably a good time to get ahead of the ballgame," he said. Stockmen's members passed a resolution seeking a checkoff increase during their annual convention in late September. "We've been talking about this for eight or nine years," Zahn said. "We felt that now was the time." Back to news

We did not see meaningful differences in interpretation across age groups or between native and nonnative English speakers, with one exception: the phrase "slam dunk." On average, the native English speakers interpreted the phrase as indicating a 93% probability, whereas the nonnative speakers put the figure at 81%. This result offers a warning to avoid culturally biased phrases in general and sports metaphors in particular when you're trying to be clear.
For matters of importance where mutual understanding is vital, avoid nonnumerical words or phrases and turn directly to probabilities .Lesson 2: Use structured approaches to set probabilities.
As discussed, one reason people use ambiguous words instead of precise probabilities is to reduce the risk of being wrong. But people also hedge with words because they are not familiar with structured ways to set probabilities.
A large

shows that we tend to be overconfident in our judgments. For example, in another survey we asked respondents to answer 50 true or false questions (for example, "The earth's distance from the sun is constant throughout the year") and to estimate their confidence. More than 11,000 people participated. The results show that the average confidence in answering correctly was 70%, while the average number of questions answered correctly was just 60%. Our respondents were overconfident by 10 percentage points, a finding that is common in psychology research .
Studies of probabilistic forecasts in the intelligence community stand in contrast. More-experienced analysts are generally well calibrated , which means that over a large number of predictions, their subjective guesses about probabilities and the objective outcomes (what actually occurs) align well. Indeed, when calibration is off, it is often the result of underconfidence.
How do you set probabilities intelligently?
When the odds are ambiguous, unlike in a simple gambling situation (where there's a 50% chance of heads or tails), you are dealing with what decision theorists call
ACCESSORIES Oblong scarves Maiami JKUoH1v
. These do not purport to be the correct probability, but do reflect an individual's personal beliefs about the outcome. You should update your subjective probability estimates each time you get relevant information.
One way to
Elephant leather pouch Loewe qzwuXY4
is to compare your estimatewith a concrete bet. Let's say that a competitor is expected to launch a new offering next quarter that threatens to disrupt your most profitable product. You are trying to assess the probability that the introduction doesn't happen. The way to frame your bet might be: "If the product fails to launch, I receive $1 million, but if it does launch, I get nothing."

Both four-star wide receiver Demariyon Houston and three-star defensive end Collin Clay announced their commitment dates on Twitter this weekend. First up was Demariyon Houston , the second-highest ranked player in the state of Oklahoma, who set a commitment date of July 7.
The Oklahoma City prospect narrowed his list down to seven teams nearly a month ago. Joining Oklahoma State in the running are Texas,Alabama, Auburn, Oregon, Minnesota and Ole Miss.
According to 247Sports experts, Oklahoma State is the favorite to land Houston, with Texas also strongly in the running.
In previous interviews, Houston and his mother
have both had good things
to say about Oklahoma State. "It was great, I love it, love it. It is like my house,"
Riva Sterling Silver Diamond Earrings one size Monica Vinader aYeoTt
about Stillwater after a visit earlier this year.
Oklahoma State is only guaranteed to lose one wide receiver after the 2018 season with senior Jalen McClesky's eligibility expiring at the end of the season. There are always possibilities of players leaving early (Tyron Johnson namely), but that means the Cowboys will likely only be looking to add one or two receivers at most. That makes Houston a target for the Cowboys, and one I think they have a good chance of landing.
With all the talk about the Cowboys not being able land four- and five-star recruits, getting an in-state guy like Houston to commit to OSU would be a win on multiple levels for Gundy and Co.
The other name to keep an eye on is the fifth-ranked player in Oklahoma, defensive end Collin Clay, who has set a commitment date for September 21 after Putnam City's homecoming game.
Clay narrowed his list of 21 offers down to five roughly a month ago, including Oklahoma State, Arkansas, TCU, Georgia, and Oregon.
According to 247Sports, Arkansas is the overwhelming favorite to land Clay, but it would still be disappointing to see a guy ranked that highly to go out of state.
While OSU already has two DEs committed for 2019 in Isreal Isuman-Hundley and Kody Walterscheid, Clay is one of the Cowboy's top targets. The coachingstaff has been in constant communication for well over a year after extending one of his first Division I scholarship offers back in May of 2017.
With his commitment not coming until September, the Cowboys still have plenty of time to continue their efforts to sway him to orange and black come this fall.
With Grayson Boomer and Demarco Jones — two of the top 10 players in Oklahoma — already committed to play for OSU, adding two top five in-state players would be huge for the Cowboys and coaching staff. We'll be watching with anticipation for both of these players' commitments. In the meantime, here are the top 10 players in Oklahoma for next year's recruiting cycle, according to 247.

This is actually something I've almost mentioned before in the past. Good move.
Recently we have had a number of threads that have had the quotes system used excessively which is beginning to dilute the contents of threads. Whilst using quotes in some cases can be useful to get your point across, it can be counter productive as it can fragment the thread. Rather than imposing a blanked ban on this can everybody give some thought to whether the use of quotes is absolutely necessary to get your point across. This will also put less load on the forum which will make it run faster.
As a guideline;
1) If it is the post directly above yours, dont quote it
2) If the quote contains images - remove them first
3) If the post you are quoting is very long and you are only answering one part of it please edit the quote so that only the part you are responding to is relevant.
I wish someone would tell the mods at Autocar magazine's forum.
The problem is endemic there. Someone will quote and reply, then someone will quote all that and reply, and so it goes on.

Artists Bridge Divide Between Cuba, U.S.
Partnerships Among Painters, Musicians Expand as U.S., Cuba Ease Restrictions
KEY WEST, Fla.—Five years ago, the cross-border collaboration of the Cuban artistic trio known as the Merger would have been unthinkable.

They show their works regularly at art fairs in Florida and draw buyers from across the U.S.—all despite the five-decade-old American trade embargo against Cuba....

The Texas Continuous Improvement Process (TCIP) is a permanent, annual process for improving special education in Texas. The state created this process based on a similar process used by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). The TCIP has four major components, explained in each section below.
The Self Assessment is an exercise where the state examines itself to determine how it's doing in the provision of Special Education. The state does this through the Texas Continuous Improvement Steering Committee--a group of 25-30 special education stakeholders (parents, teachers, administrators, etc.). To perform the Self Assessment, the committee reviews data and current activities related to the performance and compliance indicators in the State Performance Plan (SPP) and Annual Performance Report (APR). The committee advises the State on performance targets for certain performance indicators in the SPP and APR.
Each year, the Texas Education Agency and Education Service Centers gather feedback through a variety of methods statewide including surveys, public forums, and stakeholder meetings. These methods provide the state with a different perspective on the special education system. While the self-assessment provides a quantitative, data oriented view of the provision of special education in Texas, public input and information feedback provide a qualitative view, based on input across the state. The information gathered through these methods is used for continuous improvement at the regional and state level.
Improvement planning involves reviewing data and statewide activities to understand what needs to be improved, then implementing actions to improve that part of the special education system. There are five TCIP Improvement Groups that have a focus aligned to the indicators in the SPP. The improvement groups are comprised of 20-25 special education stakeholders (parents, teachers, administrators, etc.). These improvement groups review data and current activities related to the 20 performance and compliance indicators in the SPP and APR and advise the State on continuous improvement. The indicators are explained below:
The TCIP uses a multi-level, data-sharing model to inform improvement. Data is reported from the campus level and aggregated at the district level for submission to the TEA. The TEA generates reports for districts and regional ESCs for improvement planning. The TEA reports aggregate data to the OSEP. This data sharing model reflects the accountability aspects in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act statue (which focuses on campus and district level accountability), as well as the IDEA 2004 (which has always focused on student level accountability).

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A majority of senators voted on Tuesday to confirm Richard Cordray as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, nearly two years after he was first nominated to the post.
Cordray was nominated in 2011 and had been serving as the bureau's leader in a temporary role since January 2012. The consumer bureau, which was created by the 2010 Dodd-Frank law, oversees mortgages, credit cards and other consumer financial products.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - As Morgan Stanley's (MS.N) share price went on a headlong descent during the financial crisis in 2008, then-Chief Executive John Mack personally lobbied regulators to stop short-selling temporarily.
He succeeded. But in doing so, he made enemies among powerful hedge fund managers, for whom the practice of selling borrowed shares in a bet they will later fall is a key investment strategy.
Many, such as the famed short-seller Jim Chanos, were also big clients of Morgan Stanley's prime brokerage and stock trading businesses, and expressed their displeasure by taking their money elsewhere.
Over the past few years, Mack's successor James Gorman has been trying to repair those frayed relationships, win back clients and make new ones across its equities trading franchise. Ted Pick, Morgan Stanley's global head of equities and research, has been the point man on that mission.
As part of an overhaul dubbed "Project Velocity", Pick's team has over the past 18 months moved servers closer to exchanges and started using new kinds of wires that shave millionths of a second off trading speeds - moves aimed at winning more business from high-speed traders for whom every microsecond matters.
Morgan Stanley has also retained specialty sales staff who help clients pick stocks even as some rivals have cut back on such staff to reduce costs. The bank is also working with Japan's Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) (8306.T), its largest shareholder, to win more business from trading clients in Asia.
The results are showing: Morgan Stanley posted on Thursday $1.8 billion of adjusted revenue from stock trading in the second quarter, up more than 40 percent from a year ago.
Stock trading results were strong across Wall Street last quarter, thanks in part to more stock sales from companies and higher trading volumes triggered by fears that the U.S. Federal Reserve would taper its quantitative easing efforts. But Morgan Stanley's gains were higher than all but one rival in both percentage terms and dollar terms.
Institutional clients now rank Morgan Stanley as the No. 2 stock trading firm in the United States they like to do business with, behind JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N), according to a survey by the research firm Greenwich Associates. That's up from a year ago when it was ranked No. 5, behind JPMorgan, Credit Suisse Group AG CSGN.VX, Bank of America Corp (BAC.N) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N).
Morgan Stanley Chief Financial Officer Ruth Porat said the bank has doubled market share over the past three years by making sure it has services for cash equities trading clients, who want to trade over the phone with people or by using algorithms. She also cited gains in equity derivatives as well as the prime brokerage business.
A source familiar with Morgan Stanley's equities trading business said the bank also made big gains during the recent market rally in Japan, driven by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's unexpected monetary easing program.
Morgan Stanley has two trading joint ventures with MUFG, which owns a 22 percent stake in the bank. The Wall Street firm also lends its expertise in research and trading to MUFG's corporate clients, something that Gorman has pushed for over the past two years.
Chanos, the short seller, returned to Morgan Stanley's prime brokerage business in 2010, the same year Gorman took over as CEO, and has been happy with the relationship since then, a source familiar with the matter said.
Another hedge fund manager, who trades with Morgan Stanley but declined to be identified, said that the bank was doing a good job of rebuilding bridges with the industry.
The manager, who launched his fund after the financial crisis and focuses largely on technology stocks, said Morgan Stanley has well-connected specialty salespeople who are crucial to keep hedge funds' trading revenue.
Being able to pick the brains of salespeople such as Ashton Curtis, head of North American specialty sales, and Tom Wigg, a technology sector specialist, are crucial to stock-picking decisions and worth the tens of thousands of dollars in commissions he gives to Morgan Stanley every year, he said. Many rivals have laid off such specialty sales staff.
"You owe your life to these guys," he added.

Rengers family
Rengers is a Mennonite family found in the Dutch province of Groningen. The first known member of this family was a man with the Christian name of Renger, who lived in Leens or Ulrum about 1600. Some of his descendants took Rengers (a patronymic meaning the son of Renger) as their family name (found since about 1760); others assumed the name Arkema, Doornbos, and Huizinga, all of which are still familiar names in this province. A number of them have been Mennonite preachers, e.g., Jacob Melles (Rengers), serving at Leens 1649-1683.
There was also a noble Rengers family in the province of Groningen, which was not related to the Mennonite family of this name. A member of this family was Johan Rengers ten Post, a contemporary of Menno Simons, who wrote a chronicle, Kronyk, in which he described the Anabaptist troubles at 't Zandt.

MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Coker College put together a solid day all the way around on Saturday afternoon in a Conference Carolinas softball sweep over Pfeiffer University at Jack Ingram Field. The Lady Cobras scored a 6-1 and 8-0 win to improve to 15-17 overall, 5-5 in league play. The struggling Lady Falcons, who committed seven errors in the two tilts, drop to 14-24, 8-8 with the pair of losses.
Sydney Greenwalt (Edwardsville, IL) would toss a complete game in the opener for Coker allowing one unearned run on three hits with five strikeouts. The lone run given up was in the bottom of the first as a Sarah Waylock (Cary, IL) double brought home Amber Johnson (Spokane, WA) after she advanced to second on a passed ball.
Coker took the lead for good in the top of the third as Jaclin Poole (Clover, SC) plated Stacy Burr (Darlington, SC) and Katie McElveen (Hartsville, SC) with her two-out, two-run double to center. Poole would later score on Gina Easler's (Edgefield, SC) two-bagger to center.
In the fifth, the Lady Cobras added two more on a Haliegh Rogers (Ward, SC) RBI-triple to right while eventually scoring herself on one of three Pfeiffer errors in game one. Coker added one more insurance run in the top of the seventh on a solo blast to right courtesy of Burr.
Burr and Easler each had a pair of hits for Coker in the win. Greenwalt needed just 81 pitches to secure the complete game win.
In the five-inning nightcap, Jordan Atkinson (Bishopville, SC) would keep the Pfeiffer bats at bay scattering just two hits with a strikeout in her win. Atkinson needed just 32 pitches over five innings to rack up the win. A three-run dinger by Sydney Weatherford (Scranton, SC) put the Lady Cobras on the board with two outs in the second while McElveen later added a RBI-double in the third.
Coker closed out game two with four in the fifth as Sarah Rountree (Plantation, FL) would double to center and later score as McElveen reached via fielding error at short. After Rogers added another two-run double down the left-field line, Poole brought home the decisive eighth run with an infield single to short that plated Rogers.
Coker will be back on the diamond for their second Conference Carolinas double dip of the weekend on Sunday as they travel to Banner Elk, N.C. to take on Lees-McRae College starting at 2:00 pm.

Broker Note Briefing: Wednesday
U.K. house builders came under pressure Wednesday after JPMorgan Cazenove turned its attention to the sector, recommending investors take profits.
JPM noted the sector has outperformed by 40% in 2012. It's analysts said:
"While lead indicators are showing some steady signs of improvement, these are yet to be reflected in market data, and we have little visibility over when and to what extent they will be."
The investment house downgraded Taylor Wimpey and Bellway to "neutral" from "overweight", Redrow and Barratt Developments to "underweight" from "neutral" and Bovis Homes to "underweight" from "overweight".
While JPM reduced its rating on Taylor Wimpey, it added that it was the only stock where it saw potential for upside. "While we have cut our recommendation to "neutral", the stock remains our favored way to play the sector, driven by its valuation and our forecasts for strong medium-term free cash flow and strength of its land bank," it said.
JPM's number crunchers added: "If we are wrong and nominal house price inflation is realistic near term, we would rather be holders of the long-land bank, strategic land focused stocks like Taylor Wimpey, that provide margin stability in a potentially inflationary land market."
Elsewhere Alcatel-Lucentes rose strongly after Citigroup raised its recommendation on the stock to "neutral" from "sell". Citigroup said the recently announced financing reduced the bankruptcy risk for the global telecommunications equipment company for the next few years.
Its analysts added:
"While the company is not fully in the clear yet, management looks to be aggressively taking action to shore up the balance sheet. We do not see a definitive turn in fundamentals to drive a more constructive stance and expect the shares to remain highly volatile."
In the banking sector Morgan Stanley raised UniCredit to "overweight" from "equalweight".
"As risk premiums decline and Italy becomes "investable" again, we think UniCredit provides an attractive combination of exposure to Italian recovery," MS said.

With a child's toothbrush, a finger brush or a special cat toothbrush, brush your feline's teeth with cat toothpaste on a regular basis. Start slowly and very gently, offering tasty treats to discourage squirming, before attempting to increase brushing times.
Jen Rice's small Manhattan apartment is just big enough for her and both of her cats, so odor control in the small space is a top priority for Rice. Her pets' veterinarian recommended multi-cat food to address her concerns. "The fiber in multi-cat food helps with litter box issues," explains the 26-year-old publicist. "I empty their boxes very regularly and noticed there was less in them when I switched to multi-cat."
Elimination issues aren't the only ones multi-cat foods address. Below, Katy Nelson, DVM, an emergency veterinarian in Virginia, explains the ins and outs of multi-cat formulas.
How Is Multi-Cat Food Different?
Multi-cat formulas address the issues of the heavier cat with L-carnitine, which helps to burn fat. An enhanced level of vitamin A is also often included to reduce the possibility of weight regain. For the slender cat, multi-cat food also contains the high levels of protein necessary for muscle mass maintenance.
Is Multi-cat Food Right for Your Home?According to Nelson, multi-cat food is only appropriate for healthy adult cats under 7 years old. "Kittens need kitten formula, which has more calories, and seniors need senior formula," she explains.
Lactating and pregnant cats should not eat multi-cat food, and neither should those whose medical conditions need to be treated with a special diet. Such conditions may include kidney problems, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease and other common, yet serious, health issues.
How to Dish It outLike their owners, cats have their own eating habits, body types and energy output. As a result, even on multi-cat food, each feline needs its own dish and portion size. Says Nelson: "If you have more than one cat, you need extra discipline when it comes to feeding. You can't just put multi-cat formula in a big communal bowl and let everyone spend all day grazing on it."
Nelson recommends feeding felines in separate locations in the home, so that each can have a portion size appropriate for its weight and activity level. "Give your cats a specific time frame to eat in and then pick up the dish," she advises. "I think of it this way: If someone put a whole pizza on my desk, I'd eat the whole thing over the course of my day. I'm better off taking one slice on a plate and being done with it."
Nelson acknowledges that this type of feeding may be a daunting task and adds that it can take six to eight weeks to get cats on a feeding schedule. However, you end up with so much more control over what they eat, and your pets are healthier for your efforts.
Multi-cat food convert Jen Rice agrees. "I tried multi-cat food for my own selfish reasons, but my cats really seem to be thriving on it." If you share your home with more than one cat, multi-cat food could help you and your furry friends live in better health and harmony too.

starr says: what do you do with a mad cat?
Stephanie says: If you are worried about your cat being overweight, you can also try feeding them wet food once a day. I have 4 cats and one has had 2 bladder issues and a weight problem. I switched to wet food once a day for all of them (because if I only gave it to one cat - the others would be upset) and my overweight cat has already lost 4 lbs. The only down side is that you must brush their teeth more often. The wet food has more protien and fewer carbs - it also helps your cat to take in more liquids.

Back to Basics", and I still have a few more I am anxious to try. I discovered this recipe the same day that I decided to make her Tomato and Goat Cheese tart.
TASTING NOTES: Overall, I think Ina came up with a brilliant way of making cheese blintzes without all the work of making crepes, which I have made and posted here.I would describe this version of blintzes as resembling an Italian Ricotta Style Cheesecake. I think this recipe is perfect to bring to a potluck buffet. It makes a beautiful presentation and it's not over-the-top sweet.
I think that one could easily substitute cream cheese for the mascarpone. I won't judge. For fun, I'm including a recipe card on how to make a mascarpone substitute.
I always post a printable recipe card at the end of each recipe post. If you cannot view it, you might be using an older version of InternetExplorer. You should be able to view my recipe cards with Safari, Mozilla, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.
If you still can't view the recipe card, all of my recipes are stored on Key Ingredient, by clicking here.
If you still can't figure out how to view the printable recipe card, please email me at email@example.com and I am happy to help

[Rules] Ranked gaming system
Posted: Tue Dec 23, 2008 12:41 pm
Concise description:
Create a script that basically allows you to join only if there is one or more opponents 7 ranks lower than you or higher.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
- Implement a site script that runs when a player attempts to join a game. If their rank is more than 7 ranks higher than every opponent in that game, they are denied access to joining the game
- Autorun the script whenever a player drops a game, running the script once for each remaining player, going down the list from the first player to the last
- New Recruits are considered to be Cooks for testing purposes
Create a script that basically allows you to join only if there is one or more opponents 7 ranks lower than you or higher.
- New Recuits, Cooks, Cadets, Privates (both types), Corporals (both types), and Sergeants (both types) can join all games
- Lieutenants cannot join games that have only Cooks as opponents
- Captains cannot join games that have only Cooks-Cadets as opponents
- Majors cannot join games that have only Cooks-Privates as opponents
- Colonels cannot join games that have only Cooks-Privates First Class as opponents
- Brigadiers cannot join games that have only Cooks-Corporals as opponents
- Generals cannot join games that have only Cooks-Corporals First Class as opponents
- Field Marshals cannot join games that have only Cooks-Sergeants as opponents
- Example 1: A New Recruit creates a 4 player standard game. Only Sergeants First Class or lower can join. Let's say a Sergeant First Class does join. Because the Sergeant First Class has joined, now a Field Marshal can join because Sergeants First Class are within 7 ranks of Field Marshal
- Example 2: As per example 1. The Sergeant First Class drops the game. The autorun script checks each player. The New Recruit (player1) is the first player and is therefore skipped. The Field Marshal (player2) is checked against player1 - he is more than 7 ranks higher than player1, and is therefore automatically dropped.
- Example 3: Four Cooks decide to start an 8 player quads game. A Sergeant First Class joins as the first player on team 2. A Field Marshal then attempts to join - he is denied access as all of the opponents are Cooks.
- Example 4: As per example 3. One of the Cooks drops out, so team 1 is now three Cooks and one Sergeant First Class. The Field Marshal can now join as the first player of team 2, as the highest opponent is within the 7 rank range.
- Example 5: Two cooks start an 8 player doubles game. A Cook and a Sergeant First Class join as team 2. Any player can now join, as the highest opponent is a Sergeant First Class.
- Example 6: A Field Marshal starts a game. Anyone can join, no rank is more than 7 ranks higher than the Field Marshal. In fact, if anyone Sergeant First Class or higher starts a game and does not drop it, anyone can join that game
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
- Gives new and low ranked players breathing room from higher ranked players
- Allows low ranked players to practice on the difficult maps without being destroyed by high ranked players
- Allows low ranked players to play higher ranked opponents if they so wish, by joining games higher ranks make
- Creates more competition between higher ranked players, as they will generally only be able to join games against worthy opponents
- Games with all ranks can still occur so long as there are sufficient ranks to bridge the span of the scoreboard
- Creates a pseudo-divisional structure without limiting the sort of games that can be played
- Will create balance and structure to the scoreboard, as it is intended
- Rank will reflect skill
- Will attract flames from the usual suspects along the lines of 'My rights are being stepped on' etc etc, who provide insufficient argument against, and generally a response that is a combination of mental drivel, whining, baiting, thread derailing, and the various forms of verbal diarrhea that occur when someone has spent the past year on the site doing nothing but play games against patsy opponents that offer no competition, and therefore have not exercised of that one organ that seperates us from the farmers - the brain

Kathy Bates, in full Kathleen Doyle Bates, (born June 28, 1948, Memphis, Tennessee, U.S.), American actress of stage, screen, and television, especially known for her portrayals of strong women who act against the social milieu. She won an Academy Award for best actress for her chilling performance of an obsessed fan in Misery (1990).
Bates was raised in Memphis and later studied theatre at Methodist University in Dallas (B.F.A., 1969). In 1970 she moved to New York City, where she worked odd jobs while pursuing an acting career. She landed minor stage roles and in 1971 appeared in Taking Off, the first American film of Czech-born director Miloš Forman. Her first Off-Broadway role was Joanne in Vanities (1976), which helped her secure a role in the film Straight Time (1978). Bates appeared in numerous theatre and film productions during the late 1970s and the '80s, including the successful plays Crimes of the Heart (1979); 'Night, Mother (1983), for which she received a Tony Award nomination; and Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune (1988).
In 1990 Bates established herself as a powerful screen presence in the film adaptation of Stephen King's Misery. She played Annie Wilkes, a psychotic fan who rescues a best-selling novelist (played by James Caan) after a car accident but turns on him when she finds that he has killed her favourite character in his latest novel. In addition to an Academy Award, she also won a Golden Globe for her performance. Throughout the 1990s Bates showed her versatility in a number of films, playing a forlorn Southern housewife in Fried Green Tomatoes (1991), a maid accused of murdering her employer in Dolores Claiborne (1995; adapted from a novel by King), and an outspoken socialite in Titanic (1997). She received critical acclaim and an Oscar nomination for her role as Libby Holden, an idealistic political operative, in Primary Colors (1998).
Bates later acted in such films as About Schmidt (2002), for which she received another Academy Award nomination; Failure to Launch (2006); and The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008), a remake of the 1951 classic. In 2008 Bates took a supporting role in Revolutionary Road, portraying a real estate agent in 1950s suburbia. She subsequently appeared in the sports drama The Blind Side (2009); the romantic comedies Valentine's Day (2010) and A Little Bit of Heaven (2011); Woody Allen's fantasy Midnight in Paris, in which she portrayed the writer Gertrude Stein; and the raunchy comedies Tammy (2014) and Bad Santa 2 (2016). In addition, Bates's voice was featured in a number of films, including the animated adaptation of E.B. White's classic story Charlotte's Web (2006), Bee Movie (2007), and The Golden Compass (2007).
Bates also worked in television. Her credits as a TV director include the movie Dash and Lilly (1999), about the writers Dashiell Hammett and Lillian Hellman, and episodes of the HBO drama Six Feet Under (2001–05), in which she also acted. In 2010–11 Bates had a recurring role on the sitcom The Office, and in 2011–12 she starred in the TV drama Harry's Law. In 2013 she joined American Horror Story for its third season (Coven), portraying the real-life Madame Delphine LaLaurie, a socialite who tortured and killed slaves in antebellum New Orleans. The role earned her an Emmy Award for outstanding supporting actress in a miniseries or movie. In 2014 Bates returned as a bearded woman for the fourth season (Freak Show), and she portrayed the manager of a haunted hotel in the fifth season (Hotel). She was also cast in the sixth season, which aired in 2016. The following year Bates appeared in another TV anthology series, Feud. In the first season—Bette and Joan, about the rivalry between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford—she played Joan Blondell.

What is wave memory and why is it important?
Wave memory is the amount of memory available for storing piano samples. The more memory you have the more samples you can store for each key, i.e. separate samples for different velocities, stereo (see FAQs), sustained notes and lately, also sympathetic samples of adjacent strings during sustain and key off samples. The more memory, the more realistic the sound is, or at least should be! Current high end digital pianos and stage pianos have between 64Mb and 128Mb of wave memory.
As far as sampling goes, Yamaha piano samples are created using the CFIIIS concert grand!

igourmet Party Assortment - Hors d'Oeuvres for 10
The key to entertaining with cheese is to provide novelty, diversity and a blend of tastes and textures that will appeal to different palates. Included in our Party Planner is the timeless classic, Mountain Gorgonzola, prized for its rich, sharp, blue cheese taste. A safe bet for all palates, an aged Irish Farmhouse Cheddar (one of the best you will ever taste), nicely contrasts the Gorgonzola with its sweet, tangy flavor. For decadence, we added a French creamy cheese (Fromager d'Affinois). Malagon with Rosemary, a savory sheep's milk cheese that imparts overtures of Spanish countryside herbs, grass and wildflowers, completes our cheese selection. The included Bremner Wafers make elegant vehicles for these fabulous cheeses.
Next, we've selected 8 ounces of sliced smoked salmon, accompanied by cornichons. Serve on dense, thinly sliced, dark bread, lightly spread with Clotted Cream. To enhance this presentation, decorate the serving platter with thinly sliced lemons and fresh dill.
Our Party Planner would not be complete without the deliciously Olli Salame and rustic Perigord Pate. Serve with the accompanied mini toasts and a bowl of our intensely flavored Greek Olives and Peppadew¬ Peppers.

Network address translation
NAT (Network Address Translation or Network Address Translator) is the translation of an Internet Protocol address (IP address) used within one network to a different IP address known within another network. One network is designated the inside network and the other is the outside. Typically, a company maps its local inside network addresses to one or more global outside IP addresses and unmaps the global IP addresses on incoming packets back into local IP addresses. This helps ensure security since each outgoing or incoming request must go through a translation process that also offers the opportunity to qualify or authenticate the request or match it to a previous request. NAT also conserves on the number of global IP addresses that a company needs and it lets the company use a single IP address in its communication with the world.
NAT is included as part of a router and is often part of a corporate firewall. Network administrators create a NAT table that does the global-to-local and local-to-global IP address mapping. NAT can also be used in conjunction with policy routing. NAT can be statically defined or it can be set up to dynamically translate from and to a pool of IP addresses. Cisco's version of NAT lets an administrator create tables that map:
A local IP address to one global IP address statically
A local IP address to any of a rotating pool of global IP addresses that a company may have
A local IP address plus a particular TCP port to a global IP address or one in a pool of them
A global IP address to any of a pool of local IP addresses on a round-robin basis
NAT is described in general terms in RFC 1631. which discusses NAT's relationship to Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) as a way to reduce the IP address depletion problem. NAT reduces the need for a large amount of publicly known IP addresses by creating a separation between publicly known and privately known IP addresses. CIDR aggregates publicly known IP addresses into blocks so that fewer IP addresses are wasted. In the end, both extend the use of IPv4 IP addresses for a few more years before IPv6 is generally supported.

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Monday that there were heated discussions underway regarding this week's planned peace conference on Syria after the Syrian opposition threatened to pull out over a U.N. invitation for Iran to attend.
"Intensive and urgent discussions are underway and I'll have more to say about the situation later in the day," Ban told the U.N. Security Council about the Syria peace talks scheduled to begin on Jan 22.
"For the moment, let me just appeal again to all involved to keep the needs of the Syrian people foremost in mind," Ban told the 15-nation council during a meeting on the situation in the Middle East.
An unexpected last-minute U.N. invitation for Iran to attend a peace conference on Syria in Montreux, Switzerland this week threw the talks into doubt, with the Syrian opposition saying it would pull out unless Ban withdraws his offer.
Iran and Russia are the main foreign backers of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Tehran's presence has been one of the most contentious issues looming over the first talks attended by both Assad's government and opponents, set to start on Wednesday.
Several Western diplomats told Reuters on condition of anonymity that Ban's decision to invite Iran appeared to have been made hastily and his advisers were now scrambling to prevent a collapse of the conference on Syria's nearly three-year civil war.
The United Nations did not have an immediate response when queried about the allegation.
British U.N. Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant told reporters before the Security Council meeting that Iran must explicitly and publicly embrace a plan for a political transition in Syria that was agreed in June 2012 at an international conference in Geneva if it was to attend the so-called "Geneva 2" talks.
The United States went a step further, saying it expects Ban to withdraw his invitation to Iran to attend Geneva 2 unless Tehran fully supports the June 2012 agreement on creating a transitional government for Syria - which Washington says would be without Assad.
But Russian U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin disputed suggestions that the decision to invite Iran was made hastily.
Asked if Ban had consulted Russia and the United States in advance of announcing the invitation, Churkin told reporters: "Of course, everybody was consulted." He added that it would be "a big mistake" if the Syrian opposition boycotted the talks.

Along with its third iteration of the 2013 MotoGP Championship's provisional calendar, Dorna has issued a statement regarding the removal of the Argentinian round from the racing schedule for next year. In its brief statement about the "non-inclusion," Dorna cites the Spanish government's recommendation in June of this year, which said that Repsol teams and riders should not travel to Argentina for safety reasons.
Dorna also states that on November 20th, the Spanish government rescinded this "no travel" recommendation; however, because the deadline for the calendar was November 18th, the MotoGP rights holder had no choice but to cancel of the Argentinian GP. Read in between the lines as you will, the press release is after the jump.

International Children's Rights Initiative
In the last two decades the field of international human rights has grown exponentially, beginning with the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in 1989. Although the United States is not a signatory to the CRC, every child advocate must have some familiarity with its philosophy, provisions, operation, and impact.
Loyola University is committed to providing education in a global context and the Law School provides students with a rich set of opportunities to enhance their understanding of international and comparative law. Students interested in child and family law can take specialized courses in international children's rights. In addition, they may deepen their understanding of the challenges children and family face around the world and the role of law and lawyers in responding to those challenges by participating in domestic and international internship programs. In recent years, for example, students have completed internships with nongovernmental organizations and institutions in countries such as South Africa, Kenya, Cape Verde, and Ghana. They have also carried out special projects such as juvenile justice system mapping and adolescent health initiatives in Cameroon and Ethiopia. The Law School has established an International Fellowship Program that offers small grants to students who work for nonprofit international organizations in the summer.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican lawmakers opposed to Obamacare have been grappling with a predicament of their own making as they decide whether to move their staff into the new insurance marketplaces tied to President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul.
More than three years ago, Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa proposed an amendment to the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, requiring U.S. lawmakers and their aides to purchase insurance coverage on the new online marketplaces, known as exchanges.
"The more that Congress experiences the laws we pass, the better the laws are likely to be," Grassley said at the time.
Obama's Democratic Party, which in 2009 controlled both chambers of Congress, saw it largely as a political stunt by Republicans who view the law as government overreach and have campaigned to scrap it. But Democrats included Grassley's proposal anyway in the bill that became law in 2010.
House lawmakers faced a deadline of 5 p.m. (2100 GMT) on Thursday to decide whether to fully follow the requirement, or exploit a loophole that allows them to keep certain staff on their existing health insurance plans.
As Republicans and Obama wage a public battle over whether the administration is forcing a questionable social policy on millions of Americans, this mini-drama on Capitol Hill has personal implications for thousands of congressional aides.
While there is no significant concern that it will cause a brain drain from congressional offices or force staffers onto substandard plans, there is some angst.
A House Republican aide said staff were nervous because they did not know how much their health costs might increase.
"That's part of the problem - we have very limited information on what our new plans are going to look like," the aide said.
Republicans have sought to derail the healthcare overhaul since Obama took office in 2009, culminating in a 16-day government shutdown this month that has cost the U.S. economy an estimated $24 billion, according to Standard & Poor's ratings agency. The law that was passed in Obama's first term and was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court last year, mandates that everyone must have health insurance or pay a fine.
Republican lawmakers are doubling down on the notion that lawmakers and their aides should take their own medicine. House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, both Republicans, have decided that their staff will get coverage through the online marketplace.
Republicans are also reveling in the fact that some powerful Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, are planning to take advantage of the flexibility and allowing some aides to stay on their existing plans.
"All the people that pushed Obamacare the hardest and bragged about the exchanges are refusing to put their people on the exchanges. It's bizarre," said Don Stewart, a spokesman for McConnell.
Not all Republicans plan to move their entire staff onto Obamacare.
At a closed-door meeting of Republicans this week, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa expressed reservations about putting House employees into an exchange when he is fighting against pushing any Americans into the exchanges, a House Republican aide said.
An Issa aide confirmed late on Thursday that Issa would keep his staff out of the exchange.

Haverford's 7-Goal Streak Downs Dickinson, 13-5
May 15, 2010
* Courtesy of Haverford Athletics
CARLISLE, Pa. - A seven goal outburst pushed the No. 11 Haverford College men's lacrosse team past host and seventh-ranked Dickinson College in a 13-5 second round NCAA championship victory Saturday afternoon at Biddle Field, moving the Fords into the NCAA's third round for the first time in program history.
Goals from Phillip Valliant and Max Hjelm opened the scoring and gave visiting Haverford (12-5) a quick lead over the Red Devils (15-2) but the hosts netted three scores in a row to take their first -- and only -- lead of the game.
Hjelm notched his 41st of the season to tie the score and kick off a seven goal run that began at the 7:32 mark of the first quarter and extended into the opening minute of the third stanza.
Myles Monaghan followed Hjelm's goal to give Haverford a lead they wouldn't relinquish, then Valliant scored two in a row followed by another from Monaghan, then one from Andrew Kim that pushed the lead to five at the intermission.
Zack Cohen scored 53 seconds into the third period to give the Fords a 9-3 advantage and make the mountain Dickinson needed to climb a little higher.
The Red Devils' Ward Gruppo finally broke the Haverford string but four more unanswered Fords goals effectively put the game out of reach with less than nine minutes remaining and the visitors up 13-4.
Hjelm led all scorers with four markers and added an assist for a five-point game. Valliant finished with three goals, Monaghan with two and four more Fords had one score apiece.
The Haverford defense and goalie Joe Banno, who finished with 13 saves, limited the Red Devils to their lowest scoring output this year since an 11-5 regular season loss to Gettysburg College. Five different players scored one goal each for Dickinson in Saturday's loss.
In front of Banno senior defenders Matt Dooley and Grant Firestone caused four and three turnovers, respectively, and as a team the Fords caused 17 of Dickinson's 29 turnovers.
In the offensive end, the Fords converted two of their five extra-man opportunities while holding Dickinson scoreless on its three man-up tries and outshot the Red Devils by a 46-33 advantage.
Haverford earned its third successive opening round bye in the tournament this year after losing in the second round the previous two seasons, but the third time was the charm for the Fords who move on to the third round for the first time.
The Fords will play the winner of Saturday night's match-up between No. 2 Salisbury (Md.) University and Springfield (Mass.) College in a third round game Wednesday, May 19, at a site and time to be determined.
