Former congressman to run for Attorney General
Updated On: Feb 24 2014 10:28:35 AM CST
A former congressman, whose district included portions of southeast Louisiana, will seek to become Louisiana's next Attorney General.
Jeff Landry made the announcement on his Facebook page Monday morning.
The Republican lawmaker represented the 3rd District for one term, losing his reelection bid when redistricting placed him head-to-head against fellow incumbent Charles Boustany in 2012.
Since then, speculation has surrounded Landry -- and his announcement was anticipated.
"Louisiana's next Attorney General not only needs to operate the office in a fiscally responsible and professional manner, our next Attorney General also needs to be an advocate for the citizens of Louisiana," he said on the Facebook page.
"Time and time again we are seeing major public policy decisions driven into our courts both with expensive mandates from Washington bureaucrats to other issues here at home. I look forward to putting my proven conservative principles to work for the people of Louisiana as our next Attorney General."
Landry is a veteran who garnered support with the rise of the Tea Party movement. His campaign will pit him against incumbent Attorney General and fellow Republican Buddy Caldwell, who is expected to seek another term in office.

With the exception of Rural Whitby, Brooklin boasts the highest average sale price for houses of all the communities within Whitby. Brooklin has a mixture of homes for sale ranging from vinyl to all brick, townhomes to estates.

If you are looking at houses for sale in Brooklin and you work in Toronto, you are in luck because the commute is getting easier. The Whitby Go Train station is not too far of a drive and and off peak service has recently increased from once an hour to twice an hour. Also, with construction currently underway on the Hwy 407 ETR extension, it will make highway access that much easier. The 407 ETR extension is going to connect the 407 from Brock Rd in Pickering (where the 407 currently ends) all the way out Hwy 35/115, just east of Bowmanville. The first section of this extension is scheduled to open in 2015 which will run from Pickering to Harmony Rd in Oshawa. It will also include the opening of the West Durham Link that will run North/South near Lakeridge Rd and will connect the 407 to the 401.

Winchester Golf Club features a full 18 holes, but it is a little short with a par of 70 and 5,800 yards. The length can be fun for shorter hitters to play and a thrill for longer hitters with three par 4s that can be driven. The rates are quite reasonable and there are various discount specials that are regularly available.
Brooklin's second course is Eldorado Golf Club. It is a fun little 9 hole par 3 course. It also is quite reasonable priced and is a great place to bring the kids. Eldorado is the only course in Durham Region to offer night golf. On Fridays they use glow in the dark balls and glowing flag sticks to have a great time and a unique golf experience.
Both courses are members of the Bruce's Golf Rewards program, which has 8 area courses participating in a rewards program that help you earn discounts on golf as well as organizing a local golf tour and youth development programs. If you are going to golf in the area, there is no down side to joining this program.

Hahn likes what he sees, wants to boost White Sox' catching corps
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN Staff Reporter February 26, 2014 10:22PM
Related Stories
Updated: February 26, 2014 10:58PM
GLENDALE, Ariz. — In spring training, everyone looks good — from the retiring star first baseman to the Class AA pitching prospect. Last season is history, the future looks bright and hope springs eternal.
Bad vibes are few and far between and reserved for only the jaded, crusty pessimists.
Twelve days into camp at Camelback Ranch, White Sox general manager Rick Hahn stopped to chat with reporters to spread the good vibe that he is more than pleased with the camp being run by manager Robin Ventura and the coaching staff.
"I've been thrilled with how camp has gone,'' Hahn said. "There is a heightened level of energy. I think there is good competition going on. Robin and his staff have been great, and the players have been very receptive about what we're trying to do on the hitting side. We've seen some progress.''
First-year hitting coach Todd "Trick" Steverson, snagged from an Oakland Athletics organization high on on-base percentage, is talking less about mechanics than approach, preaching discipline within the strike zone and sending that message throughout the organization. Ventura is stressing that players come to the back fields for infield, outfield and baserunning drills focused on getting it right.
After losing 99 games, the intent is to avoid the mental mistakes that played a large role in that, in workouts and when Cactus League play begins Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"Like everyone else in that [clubhouse], I'm eager to see some games, and then a week from then, I will be eager to play some games that count,'' Hahn said, "but thus far, things have gone real well.''
For what it's worth, one Las Vegas oddsmaker put the over-under for Sox victories at 75.5 on Wednesday.
"I'm not too concerned with Vegas odds on that or where I would lay the action,'' Hahn said tongue-in-cheek. "Seventy-five wins would be a 12-win improvement, which would be a nice amount, but it's certainly not what we're shooting for as we sit here right now. Obviously, we're going to have to have health and guys reaching their potential break our way to get more than that, but that's what we're shooting for.''
Without conceding the season, the Sox are clearly gearing toward 2015 and beyond. Even after adding young pieces such as Jose Abreu, Avisail Garcia, Adam Eaton and Matt Davidson, Hahn has more work to do. He would like to upgrade at catcher, but he downplayed a rumor that had the Sox scouting the New York Yankees' camp in Florida, presumably with an eye on catchers Francisco Cervelli, Austin Romine, J.R. Murphy and Gary Sanchez.
"We have a number of scouts out right now, not only at the amateur level, and that was an amateur game, but also throughout the Cactus League and Grapefruit League,'' he said. "You won't be able to throw a stick at some of these games without hitting a White Sox scout. That doesn't mean there's anything imminent; it just means we're doing our due diligence.''
The Yankees could use help at second base and third base, and Gordon Beckham would have value as a trade chip should Hahn explore that route.
Last spring, Hahn traded for Conor Gillaspie, proof that a trade — albeit no blockbuster — is possible in February or March.
"It's more the exception than the rule that you see significant player movement during spring training,'' Hahn said.
"But the free-agent market at least hasn't totally resolved itself, it seems, so perhaps some clubs are waiting on that before making a substantive trade. It's not something we're counting on, but it's certainly something we're prepared to do if the right situation arises."

(Note: Opinions expressed in this article and its replies are the opinions of their respective authors and not those of DZone, Inc.)
Waterfall advantage: it makes intuitive sense that if code changes are costly, lots of early brain work will pay off later. - link
My reply?
Absolutely! We do need up front design work. It's a myth that Agile forbids any up front design. However, Agile recognizes that you can't do ~all~ the design up front.
Waterfall tries to separate the work into discrete phases. Requirements, design, code, and maintenance. Agile recognizes that even with lots of up front analysis and design (and some projects need more than others) we can't be comprehensive. There are too many unknowns to be that precise, so we do as much as we can at each iteration, then move forward. But we can always revisit decisions if it makes sense.
One might say it's best to push decisions back until the last responsible moment. ;)
How do you maintain the quality of Code in Agile. We have 2 week iterations and all the time the whole team is busy finishing work that is supposed to be delivered. Most of the time the best approach a team takes is lets get it done, which sacrifices reusability, code quality or componentization (Not that its anybody's fault, thats the nature of iterative and especially short deliveries).
Also whats your take on architectural decision. I mean deciding technologies for the project should be done iteratively? Which means that team works on some technologies which they know will be replaced down the line. I am curious to know how are big projects handling selection of technologies in iterative environment?
And as David Bock says, don't turn off the fire alarm just because the sound hurts your ears. Put out the fire!
If you're going to write code, whether iterative or not, you've got to include the time to wrap that code with automated tests and run them in continuous integration. Not doing this is incurring mounting technical debt. I call this type of development "credit card technical debt" because you end up paying for it every month... forever! In the technical space it's not monthly payments but manual testing, endless debugging, and painful maintenance.
As for architecture, I'm not a fan of emergent design for large-scale systems. I prefer tracer bullet software development (link). Tracer bullets allow for large scale architectural decisions to be made up front, while still allowing plenty of freedom for the teams within each area to innovate.
The goal is to make the decisions when you need to make them, not at the beginning of the project just because it's at the beginning. The later you can push a decision back, the more information you'll have, and that additional information can change your decision. This concept is fleshed out much more deeply in the Lean Software area.

I have rented and owned homes in the Outer Banks for over ten years. Over that time period, I have learned what renters want, and I have made sure this home has it!
Morry or Nina purchased this house in 2010
Why Morry or Nina chose Rodanthe
I have thoroughly enjoyed the Outer Banks since I first vacationed there in 2001 with my family. I have owned and rented one other home in the Outer Banks since 2003,(Oasis, #184823, in the 4WD area) and I have two other great homes in Rodanthe besides Ocean Blue- Ocean Breeze vrbo.com #421201, and Clear Skies surforsound.com #613.
What makes this house unique

Robert Dilonardo CIO Domestic Nuclear Detection OfficeHomeland Security Department
The work: Leading the development of a nationwide system for sharing information about the detection of radiological materials that could be used for terrorist attacks.
The impact: Dilonardo's approach to integrating information from detection and diagnostic systems deployed by federal, state and local agencies provides a model that could be used to respond to chemical, biological and explosive threats.
The nuts and bolts: Dilonardo based the prototype on commercial technology and industry standards for information sharing. Working well beyond his role of managing IT for his agency, he organized a live demonstration of the system with participants from several federal and state agencies.

The Downfall Lyrics - Gardenian
Even though it sounds easy you should
relate to the fall
My inner words of rage
bursting through my head
if it is what it seems
You should be much closer
to the rage that I feel
It's glowing
Deep down in my mind I see you
feel the same as me stay brave
As they always stare right through you
They don't notice you
Even though they should,
you're a quite special guy
that's what you think
Don't you, but you're nothing!
you mean nothing to me
Nothing special at all
you are just a looser that sickens us all
You should try to end it all
you're confused by your tolerance
That's just totally unnecessary right now!
Just end your life
Downfall, Downfall, Downfall
End your life now
[repeat chorus]

text: Obama Rolls Back $5 Billion in Sequester Cuts Print article Send a Tip by Wynton Hall 5 May 2013 post a comment The White House budget office is using an obscure budget rule to restore $5 billion in sequester-related cuts. The recalculation trick will mean the State Department will no longer have to furlough employees, will spare the Pentagon $4 billion in cuts to the rate of spending growth, and will replenish $1 billion to the budgets of agencies including the Homeland Security Department and NASA. The Obama Administration's move to roll back the sequester cuts reduces the original $85 billion sequestration to $80 billion. According to the Associated Press, "Republicans atop the budget committees declined to criticize the move. Republicans like Sen. John McCain of Arizona have sought to reverse cuts to the Pentagon-- and it benefits the most from the new math."

Penetrates deep to fight blemishes where they begin
Penetrates deep to fight blemishes where they begin
This cleanser really works on oily and blemish prone skin. I've been using it for maybe 4 months now and: 1. The product lasts! 2. It's refreshing and helps my skin wake up in the morning. 3. Really controls my breakouts. I use a day-cream after (oil-free) because it dries out a bit my skin.
Location: BC
Age: 20 - 30
Skin Type:
This cleanser is refreshing and easy to use. I has a calming, subtle neutral scent and leaves my skin feeling clean. It is not enough to use alone though, so definitely pair it with a targeted treatment if you have an issue you would like to target with your skin. Overall, I recommend this cleanser for combination skin and I still use it today!
Location: PQ
Age: 20 - 30
Skin Type:
My friend convinced me to try Murad even though I had been to some of the best doctors with no success. I have now been breakout free for 6 months. I have a teenage son who is also using Murad and having great success!
Location: ON
Age: 40 - 50
Skin Type:
(4 out of 5)
3 out of 3 customers recommend this product
This maximum strength cleansing gel cleanser combats acne and skin breakouts. 92% of users experienced a reduction in acne breakouts in just 3 days*. Encapsulated Salicylic Acid continually releases acne treatment for hours even after rinsing. Silver Citrate provides powerful antibacterial protection to inhibit blemish formation.
- Prepares acne-prone skin for treatment by maximizing penetration of active ingredients
- Antioxidant rich Green Tea Extract and Menthol calm and cool inflamed skin
Massage small amount over dampened face and neck. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
Active Ingredient: Salicylic Acid (1.5%)
Other Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Methyl Gluceth-20, PPG-26-Buteth-26, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Butylene Glycol, Cimicifuga Racemosa Root Extract, Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract, Silver Citrate, Menthol, PEG-150 Distearate, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, Hydrolyzed Corn Starch Octenylsuccinate, Glyceryl Stearate, Cocamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Polysorbate 80, Citric Acid, Tetrasodium EDTA, Chlorphenesin, Methylisothiazolinone, Limonene, Citrus Reticulata (Tangerine) Leaf Oil, Cymbopogon Nardus (Citronella) Oil, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Oil, Lavandula Hybrida Oil, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Fragrance (Parfum)
The primary cause of acne breakouts is the build up of dead cells on the surface of the skin. Those dead cells then combine with excess oil on your face to clog pores, and when your pores become clogged then bacteria forms that ultimately leads to acne breakouts. The most effective acne treatment begins with a facial cleanser that helps to eliminate the bacteria that cause breakouts. The Triclosan and Salicylic Acid in this acne treatment kill bacteria while also healing current and future breakouts. It's the first step in the Murad three step regimen to get rid of acne: cleanse, treat and hydrate. Skin cleansers that not only remove surface dirt but also treat the source of acne are a necessary step for a skin care routine that leaves you with beautiful skin! p>

The BFPs I bought at Wal-Mart say "90% Cotton/10% Spandex." Which gives a more snug fit, the Spandex or the Lycra? The reason I ask is I like a "slimming," or tighter fitting cotton panty, AND IT HAS TO BE A COTTON BLEND to get that "more slimming" effect. P.S. To the person above looking for the 3-pack of these "brief" panties, Wal-Mart has 3-packs for $8.88. Not much of a color choice, if that matters to you. TO BFP ~~~~ PLEASE, could you add to your line more figure flattering 90% Cotton/10% Spandex/Lycra: 1. HIGH-WAISTED Cotton/Spandex brief 2. A "TUMMY CONTROL PANEL" in the front for a more "tighter" cotton blend panty that smooths, or flattens!, the lower belly? Thank you!!!! mh in Texas

I just received the two pairs of panties that I just love. I first discovered this brand at Wal-Mart last week and the fir was soooo perfect and comfortable I just had to go on your website and order two more. Will keep them in mind for future orders. I just could never find a panty that didn't ride up or was too uncomfortable in the waist. This brief fills the bill in all areas. Thank You. You have been put in my "favorites" for an easy logon.

PLEASE!!! CARRY BRIEFS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! Why are you always out of the brief? I have been trying to purchase them through this website for TWO YEARS. If you no longer carry them, let us know and remove them from your website. At least that way we know we have to shop someplace else to get our briefs. (Note: that means you do not get our money) Just remember, the Baby Boomers are getting old and many of my friends refuse to wear thongs, bikinis, or hipsters (whatever they are). WE WANT BRIEFS! And if you ever have them again I, for one, will purchase a dozen pairs. AND PLEASE - BRING BACK THE 3 PACKS! If you don't want our business, you need to start advertising that you are focusing on the youth market. That way we won't waste our time trying to purchase an advertised item that you don't carry.
- Pat Mann Colorado
- Pat Mann Colorado
We that want briefs are not nearly as important as our daughters that we allow to wear and thongs for. We earn most of the money in this country but companies like this refuse to market to us. Last year I campaigned to have more of these made and a few were then gone again. The sam old answer is all you will get, the factory blah blah blah. They are not interested in putting their money into a product that put them on the map, they only want to garner the rest of the underwear market with the new line they are introducing. So, if you loved these for more than a decade and patronized this company, like I have, too bad, you are now dispensable because they don't want your untrendy market share any more.

I have some of The Best Fitting Panties in the World and love them. I want some more, but can't find them. Would order them on line, but can't find my size. I need size nine in white brief.I want the ones with a little stretch. Would you send a e-mail to me when you have them?

Hard Drive Upgrade
Hi, I asked awhile ago about how to move to a new hard drive and now I'm having trouble deciding on what to move to. Or if it's even worth moving at all.
Current hard drive: Western Digital Caviar 300GB
This is my boot drive. It's rated as 5.9 on the WEI but I have no idea how useful this measurement is, I had a search on this forum and someone got a score of 5.9 with a 300GB VelociRaptor (here: http://www.sevenforums.com/performan...ard-drive.html).
With a drive like that would I actually get any performance increase? It seems as though you should do, but WEI suggests otherwise?
I've searched online but much of the information about HDD's seems contradictory.
"Make no mistake, a 10,000 RPM drive will have an enormous impact on boot time and application load times."
Speed up your PC - Fit a 10,000 RPM system drive | Hardware 2.0 | ZDNet.com
"This means that PC enthusiasts are paying twice the money for a slower hard drive with a quarter of the storage capacity!" (on high RPM drives)
How higher RPM hard drives rip you off | George Ou | ZDNet.com
"With a price of £220, this disk is over nine times more expensive per gigabyte than our best buy, and not really any faster." (Regarding VelociRaptor vs Samsung Spinpoint F1 DT 1TB)
And loads of places saying that the VelociRaptor is good but expensive.
My motherboard is an Asus P5QL-E, though I have no idea if this is a limiting factor for data transfer to HDD's or not.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
|My System Specs
|12 Dec 2009
If you're obsessed with the WEI, consider an SSD. They're more expensive, but they make better numbers.
I forget what I got with a WD Velociraptor 300, but a single Crucial M225 gives 7.3.
|My System Specs
|12 Dec 2009
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Windows XP Pro x86 | Windows Vista Ultimate x86
I'll admit that I'm not too knowledgeable on hardware but I'll contribute in the way that I can. You shouldn't really worry about the WEI score for hard drives, most hard drives will get 5.9, no matter how hard you try. If you want a score over 5.9, then you're looking at solid state disks which are pretty expensive right now.
My motherboard is an Asus P5QL-E, though I have no idea if this is a limiting factor for data transfer to HDD's or not.
Hope I helped in some way,
|My System Specs
|12 Dec 2009
I'm not looking to improve the WEI score in particular, I'm just after a new HDD, preferably a fast one. I mentioned WEI because I find it odd that someone with the VelociRaptor has the same score as me, and I was wondering if this is because the WEI is not a very good representation, or because there isn't actually much difference between different HDD's?
Like when you say:
I'm not sure I want to pay out for a solid state drive, but I might have a look. I was hoping to find out how much difference there actually is between the different HDDs first.
Thanks for the responses guys.
|My System Specs
|12 Dec 2009
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
The WEI score is calculated in such a way that it limits most mechanical spinning hard drives to 5.9. So, while there are speed improvements in real life with the 10K Velociraptors..you aren't going to see it with the WEI score.
Since your 300GB drive really isn't a performance oriented model, you should see a pretty signficant improvement by upgrading to a 300GB Velociraptor. And if you went with SSD, it would be yet another significant improvement.
Remember before SSD's hit the market...the Velociraptors and the regular raptors were King of the Hill and what every performance oriented person used. So, just because they aren't the fastest overall drives anymore...at one point they were fantastic...so I don't think you would be disappointed with the performance upgrade over what you have now.
|My System Specs
|12 Dec 2009
That's great, thanks. Exactly what I was after.
I'll avoid SSD's for now due to cost. Just need to decide between a VelociRaptor and something a bit slower but with more space and better price like the Spinpoint F1.
|My System Specs
|12 Dec 2009
Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit
I have heard anecdotally that there isn't much difference in real world situations for most users between 10k drives and the latest generation of fast 7200 RPM drives, such as WD Caviar Black.
Whether that little difference applies to you or is important to you is another matter.
I'd bet you could google HD Tune results for nearly any drive you can name. Look at gaming-oriented forums for info from those obsessed with small increments in speed.
|My System Specs
|12 Dec 2009
Look in to the WD Black drives. You get tons of space and great all around performance on the cheap
|My System Specs
|12 Dec 2009
Windows 7 Professional x64
I use these on builds I cannot use SSDs and LOVE them. They are a little "loud" for some, but for about the sound of a mosquito.....I don't see what the problem is.
All this said......just bite the bullet and get an SSD. You will be shocked you had not done it before and NEVER go back to "spinners" again.
|My System Specs
|12 Dec 2009
Somewhat more sincerely:
For sustained data transfers, a Velociraptor may not be superior to a large 7200 RPM drive. I haven't checked the numbers, but the 10kRPM may be more than offset by the higher density of the platters on the larger 7200 RPM drive.
The armature that positions the read heads of the Velociraptor is more robust than for the 7200 RPM drives, though, so it has shorter seek times. By definition, the average rotational latency of a 7200 RPM drive is about 4.2 ms; the 10k drive. 3.0 ms. In principle, these should speed up random access operations compared to 7200 RPM drives.
(SSDs have seek times more like 0.1 ms.)

Chicken & Vegetable Yakitori
By Cybele Pascal Yakitori is traditional Japanese street food. These tasty grilled skewers usually require soy and wheat/gluten for their flavorful marinade, but this allergy-friendly version is made with coconut amino acids (found in many natural food grocery markets) instead for a savory, sweet and tangy sauce. The skewers are great for dinner, but also as […]

Pecan Torte
This is an old family recipe that uses our Texas pecans. I've made it often for birthdays and family gatherings. My brother-in-law said it was the only cake he's ever eaten in which the cake tastes as good as the frosting!
12-16 Servings
Prep: 30 min. Bake: 25 min. + cooling
12 eggs, separated
2 cups sugar
2-1/2 cups ground pecans
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon
McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
1 cup milk
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons
McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
Whole pecans, optional
In a bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar until thick and lemon-colored,
about 5-6 minutes. Combine pecans and bread crumbs; stir into yolk
mixture with vanilla. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until
stiff peaks form; fold into batter. Divide evenly among three
greased and waxed paper-lined 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at
350° for 25-30 minutes or until cakes test done. Cool for 10
minutes before removing from pan; cool completely on a wire rack.
For frosting, combine milk and cornstarch in a saucepan until well
blended. Add chocolate chips. Cook and stir over medium heat until

thickened. Cool to room temperature. In a bowl, cream butter and
confectioners' sugar. Add vanilla and beat until smooth. Stir in
chocolate mixture; beat until fluffy. Spread between cooled cake
layers. Frost top and sides. Garnish with pecans if desired.
Yield: 12-16 servings.

I'm a foreveraloner and at age 33 I'm worried about getting uglier, it petrifies me. Be it losing hair, sagging facial muscles, going grey etc in the coming years. So less chance of attracting chicks if it happens.
Most women agree their prime is 22 and think about getting old at age 28. Read this article here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...ged-31-73.html
I know some guys look better with age (George Clooney, Jared Leto, Dylan McDermott and Keanu Reeves to name a few), but then you get greying 35 year olds that look as old as phuuuk.
What age, on average, do you think men begin to be past their appearance primes?

text: It's my understanding, from having written about this topic frequently, that the magnetometers used for airport screening have various settings -- which is to say, they can be made extra sensitive, to pick up even the smallest metallic object. Maybe TSA's new full-body scanners, which can detect non-metallic objects that can represent a threat, are thought to provide a thorough screening when used together with the magnetometers. It's hard to know for certain, because TSA doesn't answer any direct questions about its screening, citing security issues. (Believe me, I've tried.)

Jen was absolutely amazing with my daughter's wedding on December 7 and with her engagement shoot!!! They were engaged in California. Because Jen lived in California for a period of time, she knew the area well for photographing. She did a phenomenal job on the engagement shoot!!! Her sneak peak of the wedding is incredible - I can't wait for the rest of the pics!!! She was an incredible sport to photograph such gorgeous outdoor pics in the snow with temperatures in the single digits!! She has a second photographer and an assistant. The coverage was unbeatable!! The best part is that she was absolutely amazing to work with!!! She brought out the best in the bride and groom!!!!!

Jen was incredibly wonderful to work with and we will certainly use her again in all our future grand moments. We met Jen at a bridal show and I knew from that moment that she was exactly the photographer that we were looking for. Jen is very professional and poised which made us feel very confident. We wish we could give Jen more than 5 stars for flexibility; she was more than flexible with us. Jen was very open and assuring that this was our day making sure we got the photos that we wanted with family and also making sure to let us know when there was a great photo opportunity with the sunset and other moments during our wedding. Jen made us and our families feel very relaxed and not rushed at all. In fact, she made us so comfortable that it was like we have known her for years rather than six months or so!! The quality was superb and perfect. Jen is amazing!

Jen was very friendly and professional. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer! She captured moments that I didn't even know she was around for! She was snapping pictures constantly. The formal pictures are absolutely beautiful! My wedding was at the Botanic Gardens, and you wouldn't even know we were in the city! Multiple people have told me the pictures look like we are in a fairytale! I am so happy with my pictures, and am so glad that I chose her as my photographer! I would highly recommend Jen Bosma Photography!

We could not have asked for a better photographer than Jen for our wedding. She was incredibly flexible with the date and location for our engagement photos and made the whole process as smooth as possible. We couldn't believe how transparent she became at the wedding, which was so important to us because we had a smaller wedding. Jen was professional and very easy to get along with. And to top this all off, she took some of the most amazing photos of our wedding. Again, we could not have asked for more and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks again Jen!

Jen and Sean were both extremely friendly and flexible! It rained before our ceremony right when we were going to take pictures and Jen kept assuring me it would work and we would get the shots, sure enough it cleared up long enough to take the pictures! They gave us solid direction without being the least bit bossy. Their experience and artistry really shined through all of the creative, romantic, and fun shots they took. During the reception they were always present without being intrusive. They were so calming and knew exactly all the pictures we would want. It was great not being stressed at all about the pictures, Jen was awesome!! We would highly recommend them for any kind of photography!!!

Jen was better than we could have ever hoped for. First of all, there are several people in our families that are not exactly photogenic. She somehow managed to make everyone look great. We also told her that we wanted the pictures to go as quickly as possible and she did that so that the bride and groom actually got to be a part of their reception. She got everyone where they were supposed to be and did it with an easy yet authoritative style. During the reception she and her team were there but somehow they just blended into the scenery. The day after the wedding our florist asked us about who we used for the photographer because she had not every worked with Jen and she was extremely impressed as well. We got the pictures back and they are all amazing. The shots she managed to get are spectacular and they completely capture the moment.

Jen was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was helpful in determining what style of pictures my Husband and I wanted for both the engagement and wedding photos. She was very organized and responded quickly whenever we had an inquiry. In addition, Jen was flexible with weather changes and location changes. We really enjoyed working with Jen Bosma Photography and couldn't be happier with our choice. The photos we have seen so far definitely surpassed our expectations. The day was captured perfectly. Thank you Jen!

I could not be happier with my decision to hire Jen Bosma to capture our wedding day. I met her parents at a bridal show in the fall before she made her move back to Colorado. After one phone conversation and reviewing her work on her website, I went out on a limb and hired her. After our engagement session I was so thrilled that the risk I had taken had paid off. Her photography style and expertise made us feel so comfortable, and allowed our natural personalities to come through in the photos. Jen was so flexible with helping us find the scenery we wanted for our engagement session. We wanted to have beautiful winter photos, and when Denver was not getting snow, she suggested Eldora. The area was beautiful, had plenty of snow on the ground, and we even got lucky enough for it to actually be snowing. When it came time for the wedding, she was always happy to answer and quick to respond to my questions leading up to the big day. When the weather forecast for our May wedding started to look more like an early spring wedding, she was prepared with multiple potential photograph locations. Despite the weather being gray and rainy the way Jen was able to capture the light coming off the trees; the weather appears to be a beautiful sunny day. We are so happy with the photos of our wedding day. She captured every moment beautifully, from the candid shots of the ceremony, to the formal posed photos, to the thousands of photos she took of the reception. For years we will be able to look at the wonderful photos Jen took, and remember exactly how we felt on our wedding day! We will definitely be calling Jen Bosma for any future family photos we need!

Jen was amazing!!! From the moment we met with her she was helpful, generous with her time and most of all professional. We were impressed with her organization on our first meeting, and what really sold us was that she had a worksheet for us to fill out so that she could insure we got all of the pictures on our wedding day that we wanted without harassing us on the day of. She was always flexible, willing to work with us, and easy to get a hold of. Our wedding day was so perfect, and Jen caught all of the amazing moments. We were so happy with our pictures, and Jen has even been quick to respond four months later when we had questions about our album. I would highly recommend Jen Bosma photography and will use her again in the future!!!

Although I liked my wedding pictures, some important shots were missed, such as a picture of the rings, there is only one kissing picture at the ceremony, and there are no pictures of our families together... However, still being positive, I asked/emailed JBosma to edit about 5 pictures I liked to remove the people walking by in the backgrounds, the campers and trucks in the background, etc... To my disappointment JBosma could not correct the photos and basically blamed me for choosing a spot with people, campers, and trucks around and further told me to seek the help of an outside photographer to fix the photos and make my wedding album... If you are looking to have your wedding photos edited and re-touched at all, look elsewhere!
Here is Jen's response to me regaurding my request to edit pictures:
Hi Lisa,
I first off want to start by saying Chris has been a valued member of my team for the past 4 years and his photography skills and post production skills are to the highest standard that I expect of all my photographers. I would also like to let you know that we give a very adequate representation of our work in the albums we show you at your initial meetings and in none of those photos do we ever "airbrush" any photos, such as the example you have sent me. I also would like to inform you that you all choose your photo location and we can not help that there are people or cars or buses in any of those photos, that is just a part of the wedding day, and the venues you choose. When I received this email I was actually quite shocked as not only have you written Chris numerous thank you emails, but you have even gone as far as to post a great review on yelp. So I am a bit curious as to if you were not happy with your product why you would not have spoken to me earlier and why you would have expressed otherwise in your reviews. I spoke to Chris and he told me he had done this work for you at no additional charge out of his own kindness, and in all honesty had he told me he was doing this for you I would have told him to make sure he was charging you for the time he put in.
So while I do take your comments into consideration, I also know that the images we supplied to you were to the highest quality as well as true to the style of photography that you hired us for. I would recommend that you continue to use the outside photographer to retouch the images you like, as well as look into having them put together you albums. I have spoken to Chris and we have both agreed that it would be best for you to do any other work with the photos outside of his company or mine.

Joseph Everett Chandler and The Restoration of The Sargent House Event Saturday Nov 6th
Judith Nast Writes In-
Hi Joey,
The Sargent House Museum would like to invite people to a lecture followed by refreshments and a tour of the museum tour this coming Saturday at 2pm at the Sawyer Library. We're delighted to have the wonderful author, Tim Orwig, talk about Joseph Chandler's work in preserving the musuem in the early part of the 20th century. Joseph Everett Chandler, preservationist and antiquarian, was a champion of Colonial Restoration, most often referred to as the Colonial Revival style. He believed architectural forms demonstrated values of their builders, and that a culture could not survive without preserving reminders of its origins and character. After the lecture, we' will walki over to the museum for refreshments and a tour. You may have noticed that the Sargent House Museum is in the midst of an exterior restoration project. Come see what it's all about! Get tickets online at sargenthouse.org.
Thanks for your support and helping us get the word out!

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
recently i've been working in my business quite a lot for a variety of reasons, but now I'm clearing more personal space for myself. I work as a childcare adm and there are endkess social and creative opportunities with adukts and chikdren. I like creating preschool curriculum. I like the marketing and technology aspects, also.
Love to travel, but also love being at home in the bay area...*so* much to do!
Tend to my mother as much as I have time for. Watching people age is interesting.

I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
i'm really gd at being happy. i know how to be focused and get where i want to go/be what i want to be. in the next moment i remember that there's no where to go and nothing that *needs* doing and i'm usually happy wherever i am.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
i hv no sense of what people wd notice about me. do people always notice the same thing about me? i wd think it wd depend on what the individual found as an attractor.
i think people that know me think of me as trustworthy, bright and sometimes a little offbeat in thinking/humor, accomplished, confident, independent, calm, caring, gd listener, youthful and healthy.

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
mostly i read non-ficiton. i enjoy art films the most, but catch most of the blockbusters, too. i like many kinds of music. not crazy about cw and most enjoy latin. i enjoy different kinds of cuisine and greatly prefer healthy, local products.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
i'm pretty simple. i'm fortunate to hv a lot and thoroughly enjoy what i hv, but besides the basics of life nothing comes to mind that wd really stress me to be without over the longterm.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
thinking and consciousness. i love to explore how we take events and weave them into our own stories. we accept a definition of truth as being our own and then tuck things in our environment to fit into that scheme. it's fascinating how someone else can give a totally different meaning to an event than i wd.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
i don't hv a typical friday night...i guess if i'm not traveling, i'm usualy at home. i don't feel an obligation to be doing any certain thing due to it being friday. my hrs are flexible i try to do things opposite hrs of the masses just because it seems the right thing to do.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. (WIBW) - The body of a duck hunter who drowned at Milford Lake last week has been recovered.
The Geary County Sheriff's Department says the body of 31-year-old Thomas Hedrick was found just before 1:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Hedrick, who was a soldier stationed at Fort Riley, was hunting on Christmas Eve when the boat he was in became stranded on the ice and he fell through.
Boats with enhanced side scan sonar, cold water dive teams and other supporters helped in the recovery effort.
Heckrick was from Thebes, Illinois, near Cape Giradeau, Missouri. His wife, Brandi, told CBS affiliate KFVS-TV that he had returned in November from deployment to Afghanistan. The couple had two children, ages six and seven.
Spc. Thomas Hedrick

Uh-oh . . . TVT's collection of Southern thug rappers is pretty much -- to borrow a phrase from Lindsay Lohan -- completely retarded. The Dirty South's incarnation of gangster rap is no torch-bearer to the West Coast's industry-shaking forebears like 'Pac and Eazy. Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boyz, Atlanta's self-professed Kings of Crunk, show up with the stupidest testosterone-soaked track on here, "Bia' Bia' 2": "Nigga what you lookin' at nigga what you lookin' at nigga . . . what you wanna do, what you wanna do, well nigga fuck you, fuck you, fuck you . . ." 'Nuff said. Miami's Trick Daddy, the only other big name on the comp, comes with "Shut Up," which has a more interesting bass line than most of the sparse lowdown production on the album, but is weighed down by more illiterate ignorant rhymes -- Bill Cosby needs to sit these guys down and tell 'em what time it is. If you're one of those dudes who feels the need to compensate for your, uh, shortcomings with aggro, nut-grabbing, monosyllabic thug thumps, Crunk Classics will fit right into your collection. Shit, you can have my copy.
