Bride or Grooms Name:
Baltimore's Federal Hill neighborhood, with its intriguing history and antiquated 19th century brick homes, is a wonderful setting to start off your Baltimore wedding photography shoot. Grab some lunch or some colorful drinks at one of the neighborhood's popular restaurants while your wedding photographer documents the occasion. Walk arm-in-arm with your bridal party down the brick-paved sidewalks, taking time to pose for fun pictures in between window-shopping.
The neighborhood's eponymous park, Federal Hill Park, overlooks the shining city and the gorgeous Inner Harbor, providing a wealth of panoramic photo opportunities. For a truly romantic and memorable image, get a shot of the bride and groom kissing on a bench with the harbor sprawling out behind them. The lush hillside also encourages group photos with a vivid green backdrop. Get creative by incorporating the imposing black cannons in some of your shots as well, staging funny pictures of the bridal couple or somber shots of the bridal party that your photographer can later print in sepia for an antique effect.
Complete your Baltimore wedding photography session at the American Visionary Art Museum, which sits right beside Federal Hill Park. For artsy couples, this museum provides the ideal backdrop for visually interesting photographs. The museum is home to independent artists and as such, the building's architecture is incredibly unique and its façade is decorated with various art installations. The reflective outer walls make a great background for group shots of you and your wedding party and you and your future-spouse can take your time posing for shots in front of one of the current outdoor exhibitions. This itinerary is sure to leave your wedding album brimming with magnificent shots.
For chic brides and grooms with an eye for sophistication, the Mount Vernon Square neighborhood in Baltimore will stand out amongst other Baltimore wedding photography locations. Surrounding a pristine central park, stylish 19th century row houses nestle in beside stately, opulent houses with colorful histories. Bring your bridal party to this neighborhood and have your photographer snap artistic shots of everyone dressed to the nines in front of the palatial buildings.
One building you can not miss, standing proudly on the border of Mount Vernon Square, is the Mount Vernon United Methodist Church. This Gothic stone church has stunning architectural elements, like pointed arches, stained glass windows, and ornamented spires, which will translate beautifully to film. The color of your bridesmaid's dresses will pop against the deep gray and taupe outer walls of the church. Take pictures of your bridesmaids and groomsmen on the steps leading up to the three entrances, or capture a romantic shot of the bridal couple kissing in front of the middle door.
The Mount Vernon Square Park and the Washington Monument sit in the middle of this classy neighborhood, beckoning you and your group to continue shooting in its cool, grassy spaces. Pose in the park with the monument rising up tall in the background, or have your bridal party fan out around the refreshing, running fountain right in front of the monument. Allow your photographer to catch some fun, journalistic shots as you let loose and play around in the square with your party and your future-spouse. The fun times will be written all over everyone's faces and you will help you to remember your day forever.
The Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation is perhaps one of the most intricately styled buildings in the Baltimore area. The church's columns and arches decorate the elaborately ornamented circular building, providing you and your wedding photographer with a great background for your Baltimore wedding photography. Have the groom scoop up the bride in front of the historic cathedral, or line up the bridesmaids and the groomsmen on either side of the couple to get some fantastic symmetrical shots. Whatever religion you practice, the cathedral will add a stunning dramatic flare to your compositions.
Right nearby the cathedral sits another one of Baltimore's architectural gems, Mount Royal Station. Previously a working train station, this location is now a part of the Maryland Institute College of Art and offers a wide range of beautiful pictures to take with your wedding party. The building's light gray tones and carved windows make for pretty backdrops for your shots, and the towering clock turret in the middle can add a dramatic elegance to your photos. The train shed and tracks are still actively used by CSX, so train-enthusiasts may be lucky enough to get some shots while a train roars underneath them.
In addition to the Mount Royal Station, the campus of the Maryland Institute College of Art is filled with other great places for your Baltimore wedding photography. Bridal couple portraits and full wedding party shots will look great staged against the varied buildings and shaded green expanses. From the Gateway building's rounded, contemporary architecture to the classically-built, white Main Building, roam around the campus with your wedding party and your photographer to find the perfect pictures to round out your wedding album. When all is said and done, these locations will give your photographer plenty of opportunity to capture awe-inspiring images to remind you of your special day.

Here are some facts about the Pacific bluefin tuna.
Scientific name: Thunnus orientalis
Diet: Feeds on small fish, squid and crab.
Dinner: Bluefin is popular for sushi and sashimi.
Big fish: These streamlined fish may live up to 26 years, grow up to 10 feet long and weigh more than 1,000 pounds.
Travels: Bluefin breed in the waters around Japan. Most are thought to migrate eastward late in their first year or early in their second. However, they may migrate at older ages. Eventually, the fish swim back west to spawn. Scientists estimate their cross-Pacific journey takes about two months.
Lingering questions: Scientists aren't clear what triggers the bluefin's grand migrations or how many fish of different ages move every year.

|All existing digital system design approaches strive to provide error-free values at system outputs, which is achieved by using testing techniques, as well as defect and fault tolerant methods. In contrast, the focus of this thesis is on error tolerant systems, i.e., systems where certain types of errors at system outputs can be tolerated, provided their severities are below certain levels. The overall objective of our research in error tolerance is (i) to identify the inherent ability of some systems to tolerate errors, and (ii) to develop design and test approaches that exploit this ability.; Our target systems are multimedia applications, which represent a major workload on major hand-held devices such as cellular phones and laptops. Video coders (e.g., H.264/AVC and MPEG-4) and image coders (e.g., JPEG and JPEG2000) are the most complex part of multimedia applications. Within a typical video/image coder, we focus on motion estimation (ME) and linear transforms (e.g., discrete cosine transform) as those two consume a large percentage of resources. Achieving error tolerance in those two modules can lead to increased yield or lower power consumption.; In this thesis, we study two specific scenarios i) soft-error tolerance in matching metric computations within motion estimation, ii) hard-error tolerance in linear transforms (e.g., discrete cosine transform). While soft errors can also be introduced due to deep submicron (DSM) noise, we focus on voltage over scaling which introduces input-dependent errors. We show that soft errors within matching metric computation of motion estimation are tolerable to some extent. The tolerance to soft errors of the motion estimation module is exploited in a low power motion estimation system; i.e., the motion estimation module can operate (with someerror) at a lower voltage configuration, thus achieving power savings. We first explore one possible configuration which uses one voltage over scaled metric computation within ME. We then extend that work to a more general configuration using multiple low complexity metric computations (e.g., voltage over scaled and sub-sampled metrics) within ME.; Hard errors are introduced due to defects within hardware. By emulating the effect of those hard errors within linear transform hardware, we show that linear transforms have significant error tolerance. This error tolerance is exploited in order to achieve a higher yield rate by accepting systems with faults, while still operate with acceptable quality. To realize this, we introduce a systematic error tolerant testing method for this hardware.

Category : Resume.
Topic : Samples for resume format. Author : Lynsey Hampton.
Posted : Wed, Dec 18th 2019 23:43 PM.
Format : jpg/jpeg.
The length of your resume should not be more than 1 page and there must be a full name with signature at the end of the page. Also, do not forget that the content of the resume and it must not be different in information, especially important ones. However, it is neither a part nor a summary of your one. So, differentiate the it is function and resume.
Focus on the most importance: A resume or a resume both requires focusing points. You should go deeply into the most important points about your qualification and knowledge about the job and the company. You may make bold or italic important points (if printing).

Jason Segel Gossip
Jason Segel gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Jason Segel is gunning for Oscar in The End of the Tour
Wenn, AKM-GSI/ Splash News
And he is the best part of The End of the Tour, a movie that would have been better served as a play. Based on David Lipskey's aborted Rolling Stone interview of David Foster Wallace just after Infinite Jest was published—which Lipskey later turned into the book Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself—Tour is pure literary wank that does not make for a compelling film, despite a pair of very good performances. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Katie Holmes and Jason Segel are not dating. Because STAR Magazine is the publication that initially reported it. STAR, by the way, also reports in its latest issue that Lupita Nyong'o and K'naan are talking about marriage. Read Full Intro
Miss Piggy without Jason Segel
Muppets Most Wanted opens today. So far the reviews are pretty decent, tracking at 77% at Rotten Tomatoes at post time. Can you go wrong with Piggy, the greatest international superstar in the world? Please, Piggy, please stop reading now. Of the reviews I have read however, some are saying that the energy that's missing from this movie is Jason Segel. Full Story
Cam's holding hands with Jason
It's on the set of their new movie, so don't get too excited. But still. She looks great. HE looks great. Like, when's the last time we talked about Jason Segel's jawline, right? If this is one of the side benefits of him not drinking anymore, I say that's good motivation too. But Cam apparently was out with Benicio Del Toro the other night and people were trying to make something of it. Full Story
Cam & Jason Segel?
Jason Merritt/ Getty
Let's begin with a disclaimer: the source for the following is LIFE & STYLE. So… you know. According to the magazine, the two went on a date in the Hamptons. They also went grocery shopping together. Since Gwyneth Paltrow is in the neighbourhood, am assuming she approves. Full Story
Jason without Michelle
This is Jason Segel in West Hollywood yesterday having coffee with a friend. Anytime anyone isn't famous they're immediately labelled "mystery woman/man". I'm not getting any vibes. Are you? As you know, Segel is no longer with Michelle Williams. Their relationship lasted a year, and almost every source concurs that the decision was hers. Full Story
Michelle & Jason: it's over
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At exactly the same time last year, I reported exclusively that Michelle Williams and Jason Segel were dating. Today US Weekly is reporting exclusively that their relationship is over, citing "distance" as the major obstacle and that the split was amicable. Full Story
Best Love of 2012: Michelle Williams & Jason Segel
Tom Meinelt /Sharpshooter Images /Splash News, Osvaldo/FAMEFLYNET
But no pressure or anything! Seriously, because I love them. And maybe I'm a little biased. I broke the story in March that they were dating. And then a few weeks later, they were photographed together. And then they just stopped trying to hide it. Full Story
Matilda went to camp
So Michelle Williams and Jason Segel had a free day. They went out for lunch with some friends. I love this. All of this: - That Matilda's at camp, playing and having fun (even though it might be with gross rich LA kid friends).- That shirt-dress Michelle is wearing that is probably really expensive for something that isn't super flattering. Full Story
Michelle & Jason's family weekend
Jackson Lee/Splash
These pictures are SO cute. Here are Michelle Williams and Jason Segel in New York enjoying the weekend with Matilda. Jason looked after Matilda the other day when Michelle was at Comic-Con for Oz. Click here Full Story
Chatty Matilda
Check out little Matilda Ledger yammering away, hand in hand with her mother's boyfriend Jason Segel. Cute, right? The two were photographed in New York yesterday and as you can see, although Segel and Michelle Williams have only been dating about six months, he has clearly become fully integrated into their lives, so much so that Matilda and he share alone time together while Michelle is out of town.

Connecticut wasn't playing for a national championship, an NCAA tournament berth, or even a good seed in next week's Big East tournament.
But someone forget to tell the Huskies, who face an academic ban from the postseason, that they had nothing to play for in their final game.
Ryan Boatright scored 23 points, including a key three-point play in overtime, and Connecticut finished its season with a 63-59 win over Providence on Saturday.
DeAndre Daniels added 19 points and Shabazz Napier, playing despite an injured right foot, chipped in with 16 points as UConn (20-10, 10-8 Big East) earned its 20th win. Daniels and Napier each had eight rebounds.
"This team is something special," said coach Kevin Ollie. "It's just the determination and resolve they showed the whole year. They've been remarkable. They've been fighters. They played for each other. It's just a wonderful story."
Kadeem Batts had 14 points and 12 rebounds for Providence (17-13, 9-9), and Kris Dunn added 11 before fouling out in the extra period.
UConn led 32-26 at the half, but were tied at 55 after regulation.
It was still tied when Boatright's fade-away basket with 19 seconds left drew a foul on Bryce Cotton. The free throw gave the Huskies a 62-59 lead. Cotton missed a 3-point shot on the other end and Napier sealed the win with a free throw.
"Once I got by him, I just tried to get up into his chest, because I knew he was going to foul me," Boatright said. "I got the separation I needed and I was able to get the shot off."
Napier gave UConn the lead to open overtime with a jumper, and two foul shots by Boatright hit two foul shots to push the lead to four.
Connecticut's defense kept the Friars without an overtime point until Josh Fortune hit a put-back to cut the deficit to 59-57 with 1:32 left. LaDontae Henton hit two foul shots with 46 seconds left to tie it, setting up Boatright's big play.
Providence opened the second half on a 10-2 run, taking its first lead of the game on a Dunn layup that made it 36-34.
After going 9 for 25 in the first half, the Friars hit seven of their first 11 in the second. A 3-pointer by Fortune pushed the lead to 43-39.
"We made an adjustment at halftime and it definitely worked," said Providence coach Ed Cooley. "I thought we controlled the second half."
Boatright gave UConn the lead again at 47-46 with a short jumper and the teams went back and forth from there.
Boatright's two free throws with 32 seconds to play tied the game at 55.
Providence held for the last shot, but Daniels blocked Henton's baseline jump shot with a second to play, sending the Huskies seventh overtime game of the season. They improved to 5-2 in those games.
"This game was wonderful, because it showed that if you believe, anything is possible," said UConn coach Kevin Ollie. "They believed."
Napier led the Huskies on an early run, scoring five quick points as UConn jumped out to a 10-5 lead.
Batts, Providence's big man, didn't touch the ball in the paint until midway through the half. His layup cut UConn's lead to 17-14. But the Huskies used a 7-0 run, highlighted by a 3-pointer form Daniels, to push the lead back to 10, and led by six, 32-26 at the half. Daniels had 12 points at intermission.
Providence, which opened 2-7 in the Big East, came in having won seven of its last eight games and three in a row.
The loss drops Providence to the eighth seed in the Big East tournament, after being picked to finish 15th in the league in the preseason.
UConn also beat the Friars in overtime on January 31, 82-79.
The Huskies played this one shorthanded.
Niels Giffey, the Huskies' top player off the bench, broke his right index finger last week in a 61-56 loss at Cincinnati, and is out for the season. Center Tyler Olander followed him to the training room on Wednesday, breaking his left foot in the 65-51 loss at South Florida.
Freshman star Omar Calhoun, who had been playing despite a sprained right wrist, was in a soft cast Saturday and also on the bench in street clothes.
UConn already was playing without 7-foot-1 center Enosch Wolf, who was suspended after being arrested on Feb. 11 during an on-campus domestic disturbance.
"We was dropping like flies," said Boatright. "For us to come together and get this last win, it really meant a lot."
Napier had been listed as questionable for the game after missing the last two with foot injury suffered in UConn's double-overtime loss to No. 7 Georgetown.
Connecticut wasn't expected to come close to 20 wins after losing five underclassmen to transfer and the NBA and seeing Hall of Fame coach Jim Calhoun retire in the offseason.
They were picked to finish ninth in the conference, and were banned from the NCAA and Big East tournaments based on a low academic performance rate, scores that involved no player on the current team.
UConn held a ceremony after the game to honor the team for fighting through the adversity.
"We had a lot of excuses, but we never gave up," said Napier. "Whenever somebody was down, somebody came to fill that void. Hopefully we'll go down in history as one of the hardest working teams."

No, not for the people doing the hitching, but for the drivers.
As parents of teenagers in the Shomron, it's a constant battle explaining the risks of hitchhiking and setting reasonable ground rules [only from within our settlement going out, only with people they know, etc.]
Yet this past Erev Shabbat was truly the most bizarro hitchhiking experience I ever had.
My son had an "in-shabbat" in his yeshiva high school, and I drove him around 3 PM to his yeshiva. On the way back, I encountered the "tremp lachatz" (Stress Hitchiker).
This is when the hitchhiker actively guilt trip you to take them -- either by standing in the middle of the road looking rather forlorn or approaching the driver side window and asking you when you're stopped at a stop light intersection if you're going where they need to go.
Personally, I rarely cave in to such social pressure, but since it was almost Shabbat and I was in a decent mood -- when this particular hitchhiker asked me at a traffic light if I was going specifically to my settlement, I acquiesced.
The second he sat down in my car, my 6th sense went into the red zone -- something didn't seem right. I asked him his name, and he provided a Hebrew, Jewish name. Since he said he was going to my settlement, I asked him, "who did you vote for in last week's municipal election?" to see if he really was from my settlement...and he replied with a valid answer. Yet I kept looking at him strangely...something didn't click.
He understood, as if reading my mind.
A few seconds later, he looked at me and said,
"Yes, I'm a Druze Arab".
Now, I had heard the rumors over the years that our heterogeneous settlement was home to a rather eclectic bunch, including a small minority of non-Jews from the former Soviet Union. We all try to get along and succeed for the most part, despite secular-religious and political tensions.
Yet to come face to face with a Druze Arab, sitting in my car's passenger seat, on my way home for Shabbat, to HIS home settlement as well, was rather, unexpected.
Sensing the slightly awkward situation, he said, "I was an IDF career combat officer and tracker for 10 years," which did make the ride easier. We started exchanging stories as his life story took shape before me; he was married to an Israeli, Jewish woman, and they have a few children -- he says he has no problem with his wife raising them as Jews. I asked what language they speak at home and he replied mostly Hebrew but his children know Arabic as well.
"Do your immediate neighbors know?", I asked. He answered that he doesn't want to attract attention to himself, but some of his neighbors know.
"I try to respect everyone , especially the religious people on the settlement and refrain from ever having loud music come from our house, so as not to disturb their Shabbat....I give them the utmost respect and like them alot, and in return, they respect me."
"My daughters are just like me," he mentioned towards the end of our conversation..."their mother is Jewish and their father [me] is a Druze...my mother is Jewish, and my father is also Druze..."
"So you ARE Jewish," I countered.
"According to Judaism, yes, I'm Jewish, but according to Druze tradition, the children's religion follows the father, so I consider myself Druze...like my father."
He gave me his phone number for future reference, as I pondered this bizarre encounter.
Maybe he would join our settlement's counter terror unit?
What would annoy Euroleftists more; an Israeli Druze Arab living in a Jewish Settlement on the "Occupied" West Bank -- or him being part of our counter terrorist unit which helps protect and defend the settlement from Palestinian terrorists?
I still have to mull this one over.
Wherever I am, my blog turns towards Eretz Yisrael טובה הארץ מאד מאד

Britt Haven is a 10.5 acre enclave on the Ramapo River in Mahwah , NJ , owned and operated by Dr. Emile (Doc) Berlet. It is dedicated to the improvement of the already excellent Brittany dog. Some of you may not be familiar with this breed, so let me take a few minutes to tell you a bit about it.
Feel free to browse the site using the buttons to the left.
The Brittany is a compact dog, whose body length and height at the shoulder should measure about the same The American standard is 17.5 -20.5 inches at the shoulder. Mine are above 19 inches and weigh between 35-40 pounds. They are very athletic and intelligent, making them good dogs for obedience and agility training, as well as hunting. As hunters they range and point game extremely well. They are excellent retrievers, even in water, under moderate conditions. They are renowned for their thoroughness and appropriate range for the on foot hunter.

ECB - you are a complete ****ing disgrace, #FTECB
It may not harm you per se, if you avoid such matches, and yes, these teams would probably go out anyway. But bulking up a tournament to include teams that are too poor to qualify ordinarily serves to benefit other than those raking in the money and the supporters of these nations. These tournaments are meant to provide a showcase for the World's/Europe's most elite talents, adding in a load of dross would cheapen rather than enhance the experience. I would rather see good football rather than more football.
That being said, I could put a decent case for having 32 teams - 8 groups of 4 and an additional knock out round - and a substantially reduced qualification system, with 15 or so qualification groups roughly half the size of the present ones. Given that most of the qualifiers are a waste of time for the top 10 or so countries, the less of them the better.
Yea I think 32 teams with a drastically reduced qualifying would make more sense than 24 teams.
It would then be more fun to have Scotland not qualify or get knocked out in the first round again.
The wildcard system does create more "live" matches which I imagine has an impact on viewership too. Would be a chance to get out of the group stage even after going 0-2 etc.
It's cold on the outside they say
But the cold leaves you clear while the heat leaves a haze
Also means it's harder to map your route through the tournament because of the way the 3rds are distributed, if the 94 WC is anything to go by anyway. Which I guess adds a level of intrigue.

The first round of the World Cup is absolute arse because there's so many joke sides.
I love the Euros because it's a tough tournament to win. In 2000, France had to get through a group with the Netherlands, Czech Republic and Denmark, then grt past Spain, Portugal and Italy in the knockouts.
Can't remeber their group in 98, IIRC it contained South Africa and some other dunce side like Saudi Arabia, then Paraguay in the last 16.
South American football is bloody strong right now, even if Brazil and Argentina have not been excelling.
I would not deny that recent Euros have definetly been better competitons to watch than the recent World Cup but they are still easier to win. Is also worth pointing out that many of the dire world cup games we have seen in the last two tournaments have been between European sides.
Personaly I will always love the group stages in both tournaments, the Euros because you get fixtures like we are seeing today and the World cup because of great variety in quality and style, it's the bloody World cup I don't just want an elite few playing.

As the valedictorian of her 1973 graduating class, Denise Blickenstaff was looking forward to attending Brigham Young University on scholarship when Jeff Frost first asked her on a date.
Jeff had been prompted by Denise's younger brother, Kurt, who was working for the Frost family, moving field sprinklers. Kurt kept saying, "You've got to ask my sister out!" until Jeff finally gave in.
It wasn't love at first sight. Denise was from Blanding; Jeff was from the rival town of Monticello. Denise was headed to BYU; Jeff was attending the rival school, University of Utah. Still, they dated over the next several years and after resolving stereotypes, they married in December of 1975.
Denise had every intention of finishing her bachelor's degree in elementary education, even doing her student teaching at Bluff Elementary where she and Jeff first lived and where he worked as a farmer.
However, she became so ill with her first pregnancy that she had to drop out of school.
It took a while, but she eventually returned to college, taking independent study courses and classes at the San Juan Campus in Blanding.
She says that Dr. Kay Shumway was a great support to her during that time. Her husband was also very supportive throughout her quest. He took over the household when she got to her last semester and had to return to the BYU campus.
He tended their four young children at home while she traveled to Provo and completed her degree, earning her teaching certificate.
Despite keeping her certificate current for many years, Denise never taught in the public school system. However, she has continuously used her talents to serve the communities she has lived in, as well as teaching piano and guitar lessons to many students over the years, even as she has raised six children (all MHS Buckaroos).
"She is a fantastic teacher," Holly Fellmeth says, "I mean REALLY fantastic! I've had her as a teacher in church as well as for piano, and I just love her. Everyone does."
Denise expresses gratitude to the piano teachers of her youth, Renee Pincock, Elaine Black, and Mabel June Palmer. She has extended their teachings and added her own, helping to produce many gifted musicians.
She regularly takes her students to two different evaluation programs: AIM (Achievement in Music) and the National Guild of Piano Teachers Adjudication Program.
Denise returned to BYU once again, to earn her Kodali Music Educators Certification. She has also studied many years with Marilyn Bidinger, a concert pianist and former member of the New York Metropolitan School of Music.
Still, of all her achievements, Denise considers her family her crowning glory. It could be said that all her music instruction has helped her maintain harmony in her home – and what greater accomplishment is there than that?

Staples boys lacrosse falls in Class L final
Recommended Video:
The anticipation and excitement grew for Greenwich High School as each second passed during the last minute of Saturday's Class L Tournament final against Staples and when time expired, the Cardinals' long-awaited celebration began.
Sticks and helmets were tossed in the air and a sea of white jerseys surrounded goalie Tommy Rogan shortly after the buzzer sounded, ending 48 minutes of action the Cardinals won't forget.
This year's Greenwich team will be remembered as the first squad in school history to win the state boys lacrosse title -- an accomplishment it attained with a 13-10 victory over Staples in the Class L finals at Brien McMahon High School. Senior attack Luke Finneran capped his senior season for the second-seeded Cardinals with four goals and three assists, senior Jamie Paradise tallied two goals and three assists and sophomore Will Perry recorded a hat trick.
"This was a great win for our team, I couldn't be happier for my seniors," GHS coach Scott Bulkley said. "They have been with me from the beginning to where we are now. I'm so happy for them and I'm so proud of them for all the hard work they did to get to this point."
The Cardinals (20-3) jumped out to a 4-0 lead, but the Wreckers (15-6) closed to within 6-4 at halftime. Greenwich opened an 11-6 fourth-quarter advantage, but again, Staples made it interesting, cutting the deficit to 12-10 with 5:38 remaining.
"To bring home the first state championship for Greenwich High is an amazing feeling," GHS senior defender Jack Harrington said. "I started out with most of these guys at GYL in the third and fourth grade. We all grew up playing together, so to come out here on our last day together and win the title is a surreal feeling."
The Wreckers, who defeated the Cards in last season's Class L Tournament quarterfinals, received two goals and one assist from senior midfielder Patrick Lesch and two goals from senior midfielder Will Johnson. Staples also entered Saturday's matchup seeking its first state championship.
"We kept battling, which is what we asked them to do and our guys kept fighting to the very end," Staples coach Paul McNulty, whose squad lost to Fairfield Prep in last season's state final. "Our boys did not give up and like the Amity game, we came back. That's what we have been doing all year."
Junior Michael Sullivan won the game's opening faceoff for Greenwich and the Cards tallied on their first possession. Paradise fed attack Bobby Goggin from behind and the sophomore put a short shot past Wreckers goalie Cole Gendels, giving GHS a 1-0 lead 1:56 into the first quarter.
In a man-up situation, the Cardinals took a 2-0 advantage, as senior midfielder Ryan Flippin converted a shot from 15 yards out at the 9:19 mark.
Back-to-back goals from Paradise off passes from Finneran, put Greenwich on top, 4-0 late in the first quarter.
"We went up four goals, which really set the tone for us," Flippin said. "Our goal was to get up on them early. We knew if we executed our offense we would not give up the lead."
Said McNulty: "The first quarter they came out a little bit faster than us. They had the advantage in the beginning, but our guys corrected that and hung in there."
Staples seized the momentum at the start of the second quarter, tallying three straight goals.
Senior midfielder Pete Blevins put a low shot by Rogan, Johnson tallied in transition and junior Tucker Bobrow scored on a catch-and-shoot, making it 4-3.
Junior attackman Decker Curran scored off a feed from Flippin, then Finneran tallied, giving Greenwich a 6-3 edge. Sullivan, meanwhile, performed well at the faceoff X, winning 13 faceoffs.
Getting goals from faceoff man Eric Zurmuehle and Lesch, the Wreckers closed to within 6-5, but Cardinals senior defender Jack Nail made it a two-goal game. Nail picked up a ground ball, sprinted the length of the field and scored his first goal of the season.
"Griffin Tiedy got the ball first, then Jack Harrington gave me a great pass, so we were all part of that goal, it was fun," Nail said. "It was the first goal for our defensemen this season. Winning this game today feels fantastic. This is for all the guys that we played with last year as well. It feels great to win it for them."
A man-up goal from Johnson off a Lesch pass made it 7-6, but the Cards went on a 4-0 run to seize an 11-6 fourth-quarter lead. Will Perry and Finneran each tallied twice during the spurt.
"Our offense did really well and it started with our middies finding our open shooters from behind," said Finneran, who was set up for goals twice by Curran.
Facing a five-goal deficit, Staples picked up the pace offensively, scoring four of the game's next five goals, trimming Greenwich's lead to 12-10.
"We changed the way we were attacking them and were able to get some goals," McNulty said. "The second half, we followed our plan a little better than earlier in the game."
Rogan made seven of his 10 saves during the second half for the Cardinals.
"Today, we knew we could never let up on this team, because they have come back on teams a couple of times already," Rogan said. "We knew we had to keep fighting through. It feels great to finish the season with this victory."

(CNN) - The super PAC started by comedian Stephen Colbert has officially closed its doors, according to filings posted late Tuesday night on the Federal Election Commission's website.
Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow Inc.– a super PAC created to mock the 2010 Supreme Court ruling that allowed such entities to form - raked in more than $1.2 million since its start-up in the summer of 2011, the reports showed.
- Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker
In a post on the super PAC's website, Colbert attributed the closing of the group to the "timely passing" of Ham Rove, the super PAC's adviser and chief strategist. The character is actually a large piece of meat that wears glasses and is meant to bear the likeness of Karl Rove, political strategist to former President George W. Bush.
"During this time of mourning, we ask that you respect our privacy, and more importantly, the privacy of our money. It wishes to stay out of the public eye, so please don't go trying to find it. Rest assured, you won't. We have a really good lawyer," the letter stated.
On his Comedy Central show, "The Colbert Report," the faux conservative's lawyer explained Monday how Colbert could shift the funds into a 501(c)4 organization, which is considered a private group that's not required to disclose donor information.
Tuesday's documents indicated that Colbert listened to the lawyer's advice, as a massive donation of $773,705 was given to the "Colbert Super PAC SHH Institute" on Monday, leaving the super PAC with zero dollars in the bank by the time of termination.
Colbert played up the role of his super PAC during the Republican primaries and mulled a fake presidential bid in South Carolina, his home state. When officials told him it was too late to campaign, he showed up in the state anyway ahead of its primary with former candidate Herman Cain, whose name was on the ballot even though he suspended his campaign a month earlier.
The group also purchased ads, including its inaugural ad last summer urging voters to back Rick P(a)rry, a parody on the law's stipulation that super PACs are not legally permitted to coordinate with a campaign or candidate.
Just another way for the rich to get richer! And it's legal! Mr. Colbert, guess this was your intention all along? Another of the really ugly things wrong with politics and the anonymous money that fuels it all. Why didn't you shift the money somewhere that might matter? Like the Red Cross? I'm sure that someone along the east coast would appreciate that help? Being that there was a hurricane and all. Or being so rich and out of touch did you not know that? Oh but of course, us little people would certainly not want to infringe upon your right as a rich person to amass more wealth. Will there be a trickle down? I mean, are you one of the Republicans "job creators"? Or do you just have a nice comfy featherbed to stuff?
Just wait, There is a punchline coming regarding this money.
Folks the root cause of this comes down to campaign finance laws.
The people rights for fair representation are being undermined by large campaign donators who pick and choose who will be our representatives. The two major parties pick and finance who they wish to run for office to represent you. Along with that the two major parties allow anyone or any business to contribute an unlimited amount of money to promote your representative's election.
Why should a billionaire from one state have the right to give money to a candidate in another state? The same goes for corporations, unions, special interest groups, PACs and lobbyists, why should they be allowed to pick and finance your elected representation when they do not even live in your community?
"We the People" need to have the power of our votes count again without the influence of the wealthy, special interests, PACs, unions and corporate money that cheats the voters of having a true choice.
I say that NO money can come from anyone other than individuals who live within the voter district the candidate wishes to represent. And those donations need to be restricted to a set maximum level so Billionaires do not pick and choose the winners.

Nick Barratt's Guide To Your Ancestors Lives
Family history is only one part of your personal heritage - there's more to your background than who your ancestors were. This differs from most books on the market as it places this process on an equal footing with the social history that surrounds each generation, as much as the technical know-how on which records to examine, and where. This book takes you on a unique journey back in time, examining the houses, streets, communities and ways of life that shaped the world around us, and in particular the precise circumstances that made us who we are today. Furthermore, this book will not just explain how and where to undertake this personal detective process - it shows you how to organise and shape your findings, and create your own personal archive using the latest technology and online resources, and how to add your store of knowledge to the emerging social networks that allow us to create a People's Archive and tell the forgotten story of the past that never makes it into the textbooks.
Dr Nick Barratt obtained a PhD in history from King's College London in 1996, editing the 1225 Exchequer pipe roll and several Exchequer receipt rolls from the 1220s in the National Archives.

Nick is a prolific reviewer and commentator on all aspects of history, notably family history.

Mitt Romney's jobs plan is a collection of bullet points masking the fact that he has literally no proposals to create jobs.
President Barack Obama's newly published jobs plan is a collection of bullet points that understates the detail in the jobs policies he has already proposed.
The heart of the Obama plan is stated very succinctly, almost casually, but it's a very big deal: "use half the savings from ending foreign wars to pay down the debt and the other half to invest in infrastructure at home."
Those savings are not chump change. They are currently estimated at $848 billion.
Using savings from ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan gets derided by the pundits as if Obama is credited himself for money already pocketed. But as I and others have noted previously, these are savings not yet pocketed, and may never be realized if we elect a new president is who is not committed to ending those wars.
Half of $848 billion is basically the cost of the President's American Jobs Act proposed last year.
All the nitty-gritty details of that legislation may not be on the president's campaign website, but they are on the White House website. Here are some of the key elements:
Modernizing Over 35,000 Schools – From Science Labs and Internet-Ready Classrooms to Renovated Facilities: The President is proposing a $25 billion investment in school infrastructure that will modernize at least 35,000 public schools – investments that will create jobs, while improving classrooms and upgrading our schools to meet 21st century needs. This includes a priority for rural schools and dedicated funding for Bureau of Indian Education funded schools. Funds could be used for a range of emergency repair and renovation projects, greening and energy efficiency upgrades, asbestos abatement and removal, and modernization efforts to build new science and computer labs and to upgrade technology in our schools. The President is also proposing a $5 billion investment in modernizing community colleges (including tribal colleges), bolstering their infrastructure in this time of need while ensuring their ability to serve future generations of students and communities.
Making an Immediate Investment in Our Roads, Rails and Airports: The President's plan includes $50 billion in immediate investments for highways, transit, rail and aviation, helping to modernize an infrastructure that now receives a grade of "D" from the American Society of Civil Engineers and putting hundreds of thousands of construction workers back on the job. The President's plan includes investments to improve our airports, support NextGen Air Traffic Modernization efforts, and resources for the TIGER and TIFIA programs, which target competitive dollars to innovative multi-modal infrastructure programs. It will also take special steps to enhance infrastructure-related job training opportunities for individuals from underrepresented groups and ensure that small businesses can compete for infrastructure contracts.The President will work administratively to speed infrastructure investment through a recently issued Presidential Memorandum developed with his Jobs Council directingdepartments and agencies to identify high impact, job-creating infrastructure projects that can be expedited in a transparent manner through outstanding review and permitting processes. The call for greater infrastructure investment has been joined by leaders from AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka to U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue.
Establishing a National Infrastructure Bank: The President is calling for Congress to pass a National Infrastructure Bank capitalized with $10 billion, in order to leverage private and public capital and to invest in a broad range of infrastructure projects of nationaland regional significance, without earmarks or traditional political influence. The Bank would be based on the model Senators Kerry and Hutchison have championed while building on legislation by Senators Rockefeller and Lautenberg and the work of long-time infrastructure bank champions like Rosa DeLauro and the input of the President's Jobs Council.
Project Rebuild: Putting People Back to Work Rehabilitating Homes, Businesses and Communities. The President is proposing to invest $15 billion in a national effort to put construction workers on the job rehabilitating and refurbishing hundreds of thousands of vacant and foreclosed homes and businesses. Building on proven approaches to stabilizing neighborhoods with high concentrations of foreclosures, Project Rebuild will bring in expertise and capital from the private sector, focus on commercial and residential property improvements, and expand innovative property solutions like land banks. This approach will not only create construction jobs but will help reduce blight and crime and stabilize housing prices in areas hardest hit by the housing crisis.
Expanding Access to High-Speed Wireless in a Fiscally Responsible Way: The President is calling for a deficit reducing plan to deploy high-speed wireless services to at least 98 percent of Americans, including those in more remote rural communities, while freeing up spectrum through incentive auctions, spurring innovation, and creating a nationwide, interoperable wireless network for public safety.
Independent economists had estimated the plan would create 2 million jobs over the next one to two years. And that's new jobs above and beyond what's already expected to be created from the continuing recovery.
Compare that to Mitt Romney's jobs estimates, which are not backed by independent economists, crib jobs numbers from analyses of unrelated policies and only promise to create the number of jobs economists believe would be created no matter who is president.
We don't have a choice between two jobs plan. We have a choice between a plan and no plan.

After five years of tension between the media and Élysée Palace under Nicolas Sarkozy, a new Socialist government sought to cool down the atmosphere. President François Hollande promised to review his predecessor's policies on public broadcasting and to give up the presidential privilege of directly appointing its executives. The judiciary brought good news for the press: A judge dismissed a criminal case against Augustin Scalbert, a Rue89 journalist indicted in June 2010 on charges of "stealing and keeping" a video that showed Sarkozy scolding France 3 journalists. And prosecutor Philippe Courroye was indicted on charges of unlawfully trying to identify the sources used by Le Monde journalists investigating the Bettencourt affair, the questionable funding of Sarkozy's party by billionaire Liliane Bettencourt. But a number of media outlets faced new lawsuits claiming defamation or insult (Mediapart, Libération), and endangerment of life or incitement to hatred (Charlie Hebdo). Several French journalists were also victims of violence: Gilles Jacquier and Rémi Ochlik were killed and Edith Bouvier was wounded in Syria, while Roméo Langlois was abducted in Colombia.
Incensed by Libération's front page with his photo and the headline "Get lost, rich jerk" in reference to his application for Belgian citizenship, billionaire Bernard Arnault sued the center-left daily for "public insult." The complaint, filed in September, was pending in late year.
April 30:
|Sarkozy announces he is suing the left-wing news website Mediapart after it published a document alleging that former Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi had sought to fund the president's 2007 election campaign. On May 2, Mediapart countersues Sarkozy for "calumnious denunciation."
June 7:
|The center-right government of Marseilles orders the withdrawal of all posters advertising the local edition of the left-leaning newsweekly Le Nouvel Observateur. The poster, which showed a local Socialist candidate, was deemed to be "unfair electoral propaganda."
July 9:
|Police demand Elephant & Cie identify the source who leaked recorded phone exchanges between killer Mohamed Merah and an elite anti-terror squad. The conversations occurred before a March police assault on Merah's hideout in Toulouse.
September 22:
Christine Boutin, president of the center-right Parti Chrétien-Démocrate, files a complaint against Charlie Hebdo alleging "endangerment of life" for its publication of controversial caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. Two Islamic organizations later file complaints alleging incitement to hatred.
Two French journalists were killed in Syria in 2012. A mortar killed Gilles Jacquier, a reporter with public broadcaster France 2, as he was covering a pro-government demonstration in Homs in January. Government shelling killed photojournalist Rémi Ochlik and U.S.-born reporter Marie Colvin in February in the rebel-held neighborhood of Baba Amr in Homs.
September 17:
|Shots are fired at the offices of the daily Corse Matin in Bastia, the second-largest city of Corsica, a French region affected by violent nationalism and gangsterism.
April 28:
|Roméo Langlois, a France 24 correspondent in Colombia, is taken hostage by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC. He is released on May 30.
February 22:
|Le Figaro journalist Edith Bouvier is seriously wounded in Homs in the same attack that killed Ochlik and Colvin. She is transported home on March 2.
February 15:
|Suspected supporters of the Kurdistan Workers Party storm the Pantin offices of the Turkish newspaper Zaman France, northeast of Paris, threatening employees, breaking windows, and damaging furniture and computers.
France hosts at least 17 exiled journalists, according to CPJ research, making it one of the world's leading resettlement locations.
According to European Commission statistics, France was ranked third in Europe in 2012 for fixed broadband penetration.

Scarlet's Answers
What is the biggest waste of money every family could avoid?
Scarlet PaolicchiThe biggest waste of money is paying full price when you are grocery shopping. There are some things that never go on sale but many, many basics do. Always keep your eyes open for the sales and stock up. Also there are so many coupons out there especially if you just print the ones you need off the internet.
What is the best product you've reviewed that you think every mom should own? (please include a link to the review)
Scarlet PaolicchiI think every mom should own a water filtration system and I love the Zuvo water filter because it filters you tap water as it comes out and the filter only needs replacing every 6 months!
What's a great present under $30 for a toddler (between 18 and 36 months)?
Scarlet PaolicchiMy son just loved his LEGO DUPLO blocks! Most kids love to build and between 18 to 36 months is when they get coordinated enough to work on building things.

- iPhone or iPad: Go to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay, and tap the card.
- Apple Watch: Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, go to the My Watch tab, tap Wallet & Apple Pay, then tap your card.

- On the device that you used to make the original payment, select the card that you want to be refunded. Remember to use the card registered within Apple Pay, not your physical card.
- On your iPhone, hold the device near the reader and authorize the return with Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode. On your Apple Watch, double-click the side button and hold the display of your Apple Watch within a few centimeters of the contactless reader.

Apple Pay is safer than using a plastic credit, debit, or prepaid card. Every transaction on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac requires you to authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. Your Apple Watch is protected by the passcode that only you know, and your passcode is required every time you put on your Apple Watch or when you pay using Apple Pay. Your card number and identity aren't shared with the merchant, and your actual card numbers aren't stored on your device or on Apple servers.
When you pay in stores, neither Apple nor your device sends your actual card numbers to merchants. When you pay within apps and on the web in Safari,3 the merchant will only receive information like name, email address, billing and shipping addresses that you authorize to share to fulfill your order. Apple Pay retains anonymous transaction information such as approximate purchase amount. This information can't be tied back to you and never includes what you're buying. Apps that use Apple Pay must have a privacy policy that you can view, which governs the use of your data.

Anyway in my opinion we all agree with each other that software spend only 10% time of its life in development and rest of 90% in maintenance. This 90% part of maintaining the code is where comment can help you immensely. Since no single developer stays till whole life of any product or software and its often new people, who works of already written code. These are the people who read the code and not aware of why a certain piece of code has been written, here comments can help them to understand code quickly and believe me you will get lot of roses from that fellow developer :).
Anyway long story short here are some of the things I try to follow while writing code:
10 tips on writing code comments
1) Focus on readability of code; assume that you don't have comments to explain the code. Give your method, variables and class meaningful name.
2) Don't write what code is doing, this should be left for the code to explain and can be easily done by giving class, variable and method meaningful name. For example:
//calculates square root of given number
//using Newton-Raphson method
public void abc(int a){
r = a / 2;
while ( abs( r - (a/r) ) > t ) {
r = 0.5 * ( r + (a/r) );
System.out.println( "r = " + r );
Above code is calculating square root using Newton-Raphson method and instead of writing comment you can just rename your method and variable as follows:
public void squareRoot(int num){
root = num/ 2;
while ( abs(root - (num/ root) ) > t ) {
r = 0.5 * (root + (num/ root));
System.out.println( " root = " + root );
3) Always write why you are writing this piece of code, why you are writing this piece of code because this information is not visible until you write them in comments and this is critical to identify any bug or behavior with changing business environment.
4) If you are writing core libraries which will be used by different project and with different teams. Follow javadoc comment style and document all assumption and precondition for using your API. Joshua Bloch has also mentioned about writing Java-doc comment in his classic Effective Java, which is worth knowing.
5) Include JIRA Number and description on comment, especially if you are modifying an existing piece of code as part of maintenance. This I found extremely useful while comparing different version of code in CVS or SVN. This gives you clear idea why that particular code has been added and whether issue is because of that piece of code or not.
6) Always try to finish your comment in as few words as possible, one liner comment is best until its explaining "Why" part and can't be replaced by code itself. No body likes or has enough time to read longer comment.
7) Don't write story in comment as your name, employee id, your department etc because those information can be obtained from CVS commit data in case someone wants to know who has make this change.
8) Always put comment while committing code in source control repository and especially why you are adding this piece of code if possible include JIRA or QC Number so that any one can refer JIRA for complete details.
9) If you want upcoming developer to follow certain standards or inform about certain things then include them in the beginning of your class as comment. E.g. suppose if you are writing serializable class in java then its good to put a serializable alert stating that any new fields addition in this class must implement serializable interface in java or make it transient etc.
10) Last but not the least give your code to fellow developer to understand as part of code review and ask him how much he understands it.
That's all from me on code commenting, please share the standard, best practices or your experience with writing comments on code. I believe these are the areas which a junior developer or even we can improve and it's only possible from learning which each mother's experience.
Happy weekend :)

Oh, I could go on and on and on....
And, there are many, many, many more...As a matter of fact, I have begun a spreadsheet where I list all of my military finds, the war they served in, their rank, etc. I am now up to 86 ancestors that have served in everything from the French and Indian War to the present.
I honor them. I thank them. I salute them.
