I remember reading in a photography magazine about how photographers must go the extra mile to get that special photograph, the one that no one else can get. Their tips for other photographers were to wear good sneakers, pack light, carry a cell phone, and be prepared to talk yourself out of a ticket.
After reading that article, I told myself I would never be like that!
Well, it's a good thing I didn't swear on anything...
Today was a beautiful day here in Virginia, topping out at only 81 degrees this afternoon. After getting home from seeing The Bourne Supremacy, I decided to strap on the camera and tote my wide angle lens and super telephoto lens along for a stroll.
Before I knew it, I caught myself hopping fences to get those perfect shots of a tennis court and a playground (thankfully they're part of the property where I rent my apartment!), and following/chasing after people out being active in this beautiful weather. I even caught myself wandering onto a construction site to get close-ups of construction equipment.
What have I done to myself?

The dad of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence has told of his fury after Theresa May ruled out a public inquiry into claims police tried to smear his family.
Neville Lawrence said he felt "betrayed" by the revelations and angry that the Home Secretary appointed Mark Ellison QC and Derbyshire Police Chief Constable to investigate the allegations made by former undercover officer Peter Francis.
The pair are already probing allegations of corruption and incompetence among Met staff in the wake of 18-year-old Stephen's 1993 murder by a gang of racist thugs at a bus stop in Eltham, South East London.
Francis told how he was ordered to dig dirt on Neville and then-wife Doreen.
The whistleblower revealed he also spied on campaign groups trying to bring the student's killers to justice.
Neville said the faith he had started to build in the police has been stripped away by claims they were at the heart of a smear campaign and that the Met withheld information from the Macpherson Inquiry into his son's death.
Speaking from his home in Jamaica, he added: "I've always felt my family was under greater investigation than those guilty of killing my beloved Stephen.
"It is unthinkable that in the extremely dark days and months after his murder that my family were subject to such scrutiny.
"I understand the Home Secretary has announced that she will extend the inquiries of Mark Ellison QC and Operation Herne, I would like to make it clear that I find this completely unsatisfactory.
"Nothing short of a judge-led public inquiry will suffice and I have no confidence that the measures announced today will get to the bottom of this matter."
But Mrs May rejected calls for a public probe.
She told MPs: "I am determined that we should have zero tolerance of police corruption and wrongdoing."
Eltham Labour MP Clive Efford said it "beggars belief" the Met hid information from the Macpherson Inquiry.
He told the Home Secretary: "Can we be clear, people are not satisfied with the police investigating the police.
"And only a fully independent investigation, an inquiry, publicly held into these matters with oversight of all of the matters, the suggestions of corruption and these issues about smearing the family of Stephen Lawrence, we will only satisfy the public if that is done independently of the police."
Fellow London Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn said "heads must roll" over the alleged spying and cover-up.
Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper told Mrs May barrister Mr Ellison did not have the power to bring criminal or disciplinary charges against officers.
David Cameron branded the spying claims "horrific".
The PM added: "These are absolutely dreadful allegations and we can only think of the Lawrence family, who have suffered so much already from the loss of their son."
Mrs May said Mr Creedon had been asked to extend Operation Herne which is looking into the Met's disbanded Special Demonstration Squad amid claims undercover officers stole the identities of dead babies and slept with female activists.
This probe will be partly supervised by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
She has asked Mr Ellison to expand his inquiry into allegations of deliberate incompetence and corruption by officers who investigated Stephen's killing. Mrs May said the Lawrence family had "experienced an unspeakable tragedy".
Francis, who reportedly posed as an anti-racist activist in the mid-90s, said he came under "huge and constant pressure" to "hunt for disinformation" to undermine those calling for a better investigation into the knife murder.
National Black Police Association president Charles Crichlow said of the allegations: "This comes as a massive disappointment and is distressing for those who put their trust and confidence in police officers.
"However, for those who have campaigned tirelessly against injustice, this will sadly not come as a surprise."
In January last year, Gary Dobson and David Norris were jailed for life over Stephen's death.
Mr Creedon suggested dozens of officers could be put on trial for crimes committed when working undercover.
Quizzed on Channel 4's Dispatches programme, which aired tonight, he promised a "100%" assurance the claims would be properly probed.
He said prosecutors were already being asked to consider whether criminal offences had been committed by undercover operatives who had been planted in protest groups over the past 45 years.
Lord Condon, Met Commissioner at the time of Stephen's death, denied authorising any smear operation against the Lawrence family.


text: TSX: G NYSE: GG VANCOUVER, June 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - GOLDCORP INC. (TSX: G, NYSE: GG) — today announced the filing of a claim in the First District Court in Zacatecas by Minera Peñasquito that resulted in the temporary suspension of an agrarian court ruling. The hearing for a permanent suspension will be held on June 27, 2013. The agrarian court ruling relates to a claim by the Cerro Gordo Ejido that challenged surface land rights to 600 hectares (approximately 1,483 acres) of land located in Mazapil, Mexico and within the confines of the Peñasquito mine site. The ruling purports to nullify Goldcorp's lease of the surface land and orders the land returned to the Cerro Gordo Ejido for payment of 2.4 million pesos. Minera Peñasquito negotiated an agreement for use of the land prior to the construction of the mine that it believes is fair based on surface valuations in Mexico and similar agreements at Peñasquito and other mining operations, but is willing and continues to seek constructive dialogue with the Cerro Gordo Ejido with the intent of pursuing a mutually beneficial settlement. At the same time, the Company will use all legal means at its disposal to ensure continuity of operations and to protect the Company's mineral concession rights consistent with Mexican law. Mine operations have not been impacted. Peñasquito is the largest gold producer in Mexico and employs approximately 3,000 employees of which approximately 85% are from local communities. The mine generates over 6,000 direct and indirect jobs for Mexican families. Goldcorp is one of the world's fastest growing senior gold producers. Its low-cost gold production is located in safe jurisdictions in the Americas and remains 100% unhedged.

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
Yes, absolutely. You will just need to either manually make sure that there are matching local admin accounts or put each machine's account information individually into SpiceWorks.

That's how I run it in my test network- I'll admit I've just been too lazy to setup a domain for it...

Workgroup environment is ok. At least, it works for me.

|Tue, 30 Dec 2008 06:01:12 GMT
> the thinking was that what's needed is a general interface/abstraction/API for storing and loading field data to an external component Implementation pluggability is a sensible route to take. Let me speculate on how such an API might work; if I wander astray, do interrupt me. Consider loading the field data, first. The implementation layer (the thing abstracted away by the API) will need, at minimum, a key from the caller to retrieve the field data. Under the covers, Lucene will maintain the "external" field value by storing this key. The key needed at the implementation layer may be an int, a long, a string, whatever. At the API level, the most general representation of the key will likely be just a byte array (or perhaps a ByteBuffer?). So the service provider interface (ignoring transactions, for the moment) might have a method like interface FieldStoreProvider { FieldValue getFieldValue(byte[] key); . . } where FieldValue is just a stand-in for one or more yet-to-be-defined types. This type of method would be easy to implement with BDB, Skwish, and a little clumsily with an RDBMS (since you must either commit to a particular DB schema, or configure a tool that maps values from an existing DB schema to their API *key* representation above, e.g. at it most primitive level, the key specifies an SQL query). Now let's consider storing the field value. This also brings up 2 other issues; 1) where does the key come from (who specifies the key)? and 2) whether the field value can be updated? Below, some example method signatures illustrating some of these design choices.. interface FieldStoreProvider { . . // inserts the given field value and returns a key // created by the provider implementation // byte[] putFieldValue(FieldValue value); // inserts the given field value with specified key; // it's the responsibility of the caller to ensure that // the key is unique // void insertFieldValue(FieldValue value, byte[] key); // updates the field value for the given key // void updateFieldValue(FieldValue value, byte[] key); . . } The first method returns an implementation-specific key on data insertion. This method can be efficiently implemented using BDB, RDBMSs, or something like skwish. If we leave the key generation to the implementation, the returned key would likely be just an encoding of an integral value. The next (2nd) method above, however, allows the user to specify an arbitrary (but unique) key for the data being inserted. This can be implemented using either BDB or an RDBMS, but not something dead-simple like skwish. The RDBMS implementation would necessarily involve some kind of fixed database schema. Here's my thinking on the pros and cons of allowing the user (rather than the implementation) to specify the key for an externally stored field value. Pros: * It allows one to specify a globally unique key, e.g. a UUID * It might make accessing the externally stored field value from outside lucene easier. E.g. the field value can be accessed from the outside using a UUID or a path-like structrue. * It allows an application to have apriori knowledge of what the key will be *before* the field data is committed (inserted) to external storage. This might simplify constructing application-specific object graphs and the like. Cons: * You can't use [something like] skwish. Performance will be impacted. This has to do with the fact that skwish implements a random access list (the key just represents the index [offset] into the list) whereas BDB implements a map. The last (3rd) method introduced above, updating a field value using the field's key, is obviously useful. However, if the externally stored field is indexed by Lucene, (say by being the source of a field's Field.readerValue() ), then the Lucene document must itself be replaced. In that case, this method in the provider interface is of little value to Lucene. This method can be implemented using BDB, an RDBMS, but not with skwish. So those last 3 write methods represent some fundamental design choices. And I would argue that the best choice is to make no choice at all, and let the user do the writing (with the option of updates) directly through the backing external storage implementation instead. The service provider interface Lucene is concerned with would be read-only, and we'd be back to interface FieldStoreProvider { FieldValue getFieldValue(byte[] key); } where FieldValue was a yet-to-be-defined type. Now about FieldValue. I think it would make be nice if we could somehow expand the interface definition of a Field to include a method that returns a stream-representation of a stored field value. That way, the memory overhead for accessing large stored fields could be minimized. In that event, the provider interface might include methods like interface FieldStoreProvider { byte[] getBytes(byte[] key); FileChannel getChannel(byte[] key); long getSize(byte[] key); int copyInto(byte[] key, byte[] sink); int copyInto(byte[] key, ByteBuffer sink); } There are a lot more issues to explore, such as how the external storage provider is configured. (E.g. is it VM-specific or DbDirectory-specific?) But I think I should pause to see whether I'm on the right page, or have fallen down an elevator shaft.

The devious workings of an ancient culture upon the upright puritan minds of Americans is a theme which has persisted through literature, down through Henry James to Hemingway in this century. And Jefferson was the first to succumb. He was not quite the puritan that John Adams was, but nonetheless he was profoundly shocked by the excesses of the French court.
Yet he was bewitched by the culture around him. He studied architecture, and later used his new-found knowledge in creating his beloved house at Monticello in Virginia, and for the state buildings of Washington. He witnessed manned ascents in balloons, he noted the workings of a propeller and wrote that it might serve better for screw propulsion in water. He was entranced by the invention of the sulphur match; he found time to write two volumes on the horticulture of Europe and America. He was also an accomplished violinist, and amassed over 5,000 pieces of music. When he returned to the States in 1789 he took over 80 crates of artefacts back with him.
In the States, Jefferson had been described by a relative as a man who "could calculate an eclipse, survey an estate, tie an artery, plan an edifice, try a cause, break a horse, dance a minuet, and play a violin". Europe was to round the education of this Renaissance man.
But Jefferson had arrived in France in a state of some unhappiness. He had been married since 1772, very contentedly, to one Martha Skelton, who had borne him six children. Only two survived to adulthood, and after the death of the fourth in 1782, Martha succumbed to grief and prolonged illness. On her deathbed, Jefferson vowed never to re-marry.
Jedfferson was a rather chilly man, and it was said of him by a friend that "he was the most approachable, yet the most impenetrable of men, easy and delightful of acquaintance, im-possible of knowledge". In America he had buried his emotions. But, true to the spirit of the American in Paris, the sensuality of the older culture soon began to work upon him.
The affair he had in the city is surely one of the most bizarre liaisons ever undertaken by a US President, JF Kennedy notwithstanding. He had sent for his young daughter, Patsy, to keep him company, and she duly arrived in Paris accompanied by a 15-year-old slave girl, Sally Hemings. Sally had been bequeathed to Jefferson by his wife's father, John Wayles, one of more than a hundred black slaves who served Jefferson at Monticello. Wayles had been a slave trader, a profession Jefferson despised. Indeed he was staunch libertarian, who had only been prevented from banning slavery in the Declaration of Independence by the intervention of the southern states. But in Paris, he took Sally Hemings as his mistress and over the years had many children by her.
In fact Sally was the daughter of John Wayles by one his own slaves, and therefore was half-sister to Jefferson's dead wife. She was des-cribed as having olive skin, long straight auburn hair, and the bearing of a refined lady. Jefferson must have seen some resemblance between his wife and this beautiful girl. Since slavery was illegal in France he employed her in a privileged position in the house, and spent large sums of money on her wardrobe. 18 months after her arrival she became pregnant.
Jefferson gave her his sacred word that any children she bore him would be freed at 21. He also freed her two brothers, James and Robert, on his return to the States. Sally refused to stay in France, where she could have been free, and returned to America with Jefferson as his slave, living with him until his death. The sacrifice suggests the strength of her love for him.
That Jefferson took her as a mistress is still in slight dispute. It was Fawn Brodie's biography Thomas Jefferson; an Intimate History which first proposed the theory in 1974. But the original source of the story is rather more infamous.
In 1801, three months after Jefferson had been installed as the third President of the US, a journalist, James Callender, who had already fled a libel action in Britain, tried to blackmail him over his affair. When this failed, he wrote in a Federalist newspaper of the "wench Sally, by whom our president has had several children" and alluded to the eldest son, Tom, who bore such a resemblance to Jefferson that many later mistook them for each other. Soon Jefferson's opponents were singing a song to the tune of Yankee Doodle, which went:
Of all the damsels on the green,
Or mountain, or in valley,
A lass so luscious ne'er was seen,
As Monticellian Sally.
Yankee Doodle, who's the noodle?
What wife were half so handy?
To breed a flock of slaves for stock,
A blackamoor's a dandy.
It was the first ever public attack on the private life of a US president. Jefferson refused to reply, saying that the press was "impotent when it abandons itself to falsehood", but the scandal raged for two years. Jefferson's friends issued furious denials, which only fanned the flames. Interestingly, alone of all his friends, John Adams, under whom Jefferson had served as Vice-President, believed the smears.
It was not an uncommon practice in the South for slave owners to practice droit de seigneur on slaves. But to carry on an affair with a free black woman was to court disgrace. This may well be the reason that Sally continued in her slavery, in order to avoid ruining Jefferson's career. Installed at Monticello, she undertook the light duties of attending to his private chambers and wardrobe. This, along with her maternal duties, were her entire life for the next 35 years until Jefferson died. The third son born to them, Madison, wrote of his white father: "He was uniformly kind to all about him. He was not in the habit of showing partiality or fatherly affection to us children. We were the only children of his by a slave woman."
After the scandal broke, Jefferson's two daughters by his late wife pleaded with him to abandon his slave family, and even stopped visiting the house when he refused. True to his word, all five children were freed, properly educated by him, and allowed to leave Monticello and set up on their own elsewhere. Madison wrote of his elder brother: "Beverley went to Washington as a white man."
Yet Sally alone of all the family was never freed, because under the law this would have meant her leaving Virginia. After Jefferson's death in 1826, she lived on at Monticello for two years. Then, as previously arranged, she was freed by Jefferson's daughter Martha, and she joined other members of her family living in obscurity in a small house on the estate until she died in 1835 at the age of 62.
While in Paris, Patsy, Jefferson's daughter by his wife, had been placed in a convent, where he was assured that no attempt would be made to convert her to the Catholic faith. Alas, she fell under its spell, and she wrote to him requesting his permission to become a nun. The horrified Jefferson withdrew her immediately and ac-cused the mother superior of duplicity. She in her turn upbraided Jefferson by pointing out that America was supposed to be a country where freedom of religious expression was an inalienable right. Jefferson's reply to the mother superior can stand as a summation of all that is contradictory between the great man's impulses towards libertarianism and the perplexing way that such beliefs often collide with private conduct: "independence is not a plaything to be given to a child."
! 'Jefferson in Paris' opens on 16 June
THE FILM may make a new British star. Thandie Newton (right) plays Jefferson's mistress, the young quadroon Sally Hemings, with a tenderness which belies her years. Newton is a 22-year-old now sitting finals in Social Anthropology at Cambridge, a subject she has fitted alongside an acting career - shades of Emma Thompson. Brought up in Cornwall, she is the daughter of an English artist and Zimbabwean mother. She has been acting since the age of 16 when a back injury quashed plans for a dancing career. First seen in the Australian film Flirting, she has specialised in slave girls: besides her role in Jefferson in Paris, she was Brad Pitt's ill-fated slave in Interview With A Vampire, and plays another slave in the forthcoming The Journey of August King. ''I hate the idea of slavery,'' says Newton. ''Still, I'm getting good at it.''

It seems as though the job application forces you to sign up to get a credit score done because "it is required" for the job interview. Another red flag here, never heard of a data entry job requiring a credit score check. Malwarebytes flagged and blocked this credit score site as a malicious page.
I did a registration check on ajvpropmgnt.org and found out that it was just created today (1/17/2014). So this scam is fresh.
This is the email I received:
My name is Kurt, I am the HR Manager.
You've recently sent us your resume, and I am excited to let you know that I think you are an awesome candidate!
AJV Property Management is an established company with about 30 years of experience in the market.
We offer benefits for you and your family and very competitive compensation. It will be all discussed during the interview.
Each applicant is required to fill out our application in order to schedule an interview. Please do it ASAP, so we can move on with the process.
It can be found on our site:
There is a personal application code required to fill the application.
Your code is: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Please let me know once you are done. If you don't contact me by tomorrow I'll assume that you are not interested in the job, and I'll go on to the next candidate.
I look forward to seeing you on interview.

After approximately 6 months on a waiting list, a seat has opened up on the vanpool that drives between my home and work. Finally, I will be able to do something during the 90-minute commute (each way) other than stare at tail-lights and try to stay awake.
I shared the news with my wife, and when my kids overheard, they were incredibly excited and happy to hear the news.
"Wow!" I thought… "they sure teach kids to be environmentally conscious these days. I don't think I even knew what a vanpool was when I was seven years old!"
"Daddy?" my daughter asked, "do we have to wear seatbelts while we are swimming in the vanpool and you are driving?"

We have a 100% pass rate dating back more than a decade! We believe that this is due to the strength and breadth of the training that our fellows receive during their experience at the University of Maryland.
Mentors are chosen by the fellow based on their interests and career trajectories, rather than assigned. Most fellow-faculty mentorships occur naturally through the course of the first year, as research questions arise on the consult services. Program leadership also meets with each fellow in the first year to help them identify possible research interests and suggest well-matched faculty mentors for the fellow to contact. Following the choice of a mentor, a fellow will work with the mentor to develop a realistic project with achievable timelines.
The University of Maryland Department of Epidemiology offers a Master of Science in Clinical Research as well as a Master of Public Health degree. Due to the course requirements of these degrees, fellows who choose to pursue one of these degrees should plan to do the degree coursework during a third year of fellowship. Funding is not guaranteed but in the past, most fellows have been able to secure funding through a combination of their research mentor and/or tuition remission.
Yes! For fellows with an approved research project and mentor, the fellow and the program director can adjust the clinical schedule accordingly to allow the necessary amount of time free of clinical rotations. Longitudinal/continuity care clinic must be continued during this time, in accordance with ACGME rules. Fellows who have been productive in such an experience and who require or wish additional time in clinical or basic science research have the option of extending their fellowship to accomplish their goals.
There is NO mandated in-house call for our fellows in any of their years of training. Very infrequently (once or twice per year in the entire program), a fellow may be called in from home to see an acutely ill patient (usually a malaria patient), but no one spends the night in the hospital.
Fellows have 3 weeks of vacation annually, which they request at the beginning of the academic year.
The University of Maryland Medical Center offers fellows a competitive salary and benefits package. Click here for the most recent update.
Fellows are allowed to moonlight after written approval is obtained by the program leadership. There are often moonlighting opportunities on the internal medicine non-teaching services. Moonlighting should never interfere with the clinical duties and learning in the fellowship. Restrictions on duty hours and the amount of moonlighting allowed per rotation apply.
While Baltimore has recently been in the national spotlight, this should not deter you. Those of us who live and work here are proud of the progress that we have made since April 2015 and to care for a population that faces daily hardships and lack of easy access to preventative medical care. The University of Maryland has redoubled its efforts to engage with and improve our community. Baltimore continues to be an appealing and accessible urban environment in which to live and work. It also remains a vibrant tourist destination, with abundant cultural, sports, recreational, and entertainment opportunities, great restaurants, multiple festivals, historical landmarks, and diverse neighborhoods. Welcome to our city!

Oregon Historical County Records Guide
Baker County Records Inventory
Coroner and Inquest Records
Series records the results of the examination of a corpse by the county coroner at the request of the county sheriff. It also documents the proceedings and results of inquests ordered by the district attorney. Reports include date filed; name, age, sex, race, parentage, and birthplace of deceased; date, place, and time of death; names of undertaker and coroner; testimony; and costs. Early reports were narrative accounts detailing the cause of death. After 1900, a standardized form was used for reporting results. Inquest transcripts include coroner and juror names, signatures, and actions; witness names; testimony; and verdict. Coroner and inquest records have been inventoried through 1965.

I think snow is fucking great. I love it. I love the silence. I love it because only the stupidest of cunts is out on the roads and what very little noise they make is deadened by the blanket of corpse-faced white. This city, this Town of the Ford, it talks too fucking much. Talks, moans, bitches, screams and fucking howls. The snow has got her pillow held lightly over the face of this agonised terminal case and its constant pain. Snow won't kill the town, but it'll shut it the fuck up for a few days. And don't tell me it isn't beautiful. Tom said it. The Heart of Saturday Night, Track 1, listen to the whole song. Now there's something for you to do with your iPhone when you're stuck in a four hour traffic jam.
I get it, snow fucks people up. People aren't where they want to be and are desperately trying to get somewhere else. Just like every other day. But yeah, people slip and die. People put out their backs unacustomedly shoveling in a futile attempt to prevent the slipping and the dying. People have to the wipe the arses of those that slip, but fail to die. Fuck it, it's worth it. My iPhone fucks people up. My having an iPhone means people suffer. That's worth it too.
I love you snow.

As I am sure you saw, we recently posted the ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions… I thought i'd do a brief introduction to some of the new features in this release by updating my mix07 demo MySilverlightTV…
Download the full sample here
MySilverlightTv(noVideos).zip (1.3MB)
Note, you can grab the "Data\Media" dir from the original one if you all the cool videos for a demo.
1. Silverlight Support
We updated the old <asp:Media> control.. it is now called <asp:MediaPlayer> here is an example usage:
Oh, I didn't use it in this demo, but we also renamed <asp:Xaml> to <asp:Silverlight>
Read more about these in the ASP.NET Silverlight quickstarts
2. AJAX Support
We updated the history support and integrated it more deeply into the product… This gives developers full control of the meaning of the browsers forward and back buttons within their applications. Rather than the <asp:History> syntax, there is now a simple property on ScriptManager called "EnableHistory. Notice I am also setting EnableStateHash to false as it makes debugging easier as it leaves the URL string human readable.. you may or may not want that in your site, so it is an option. Then I set a server side method HistoryNavigate that handles the pushing stuff into the property bag when navigating away and pulling it out of the property bag when navigating into the page.
Then, any time your app process a user action that represents a change it state, you can add a history point this creates a new "backbutton" state.
Then, each time the page is navigated, you get a chance to check out that state and initialize your controls based on it. Notice after I update the controls, I kick the UpdatePanel to update as well..
Read more in the Ajax quickstarts..
3. MVC within a Web Site project
There have been a ton of great MVC samples… This one I wanted to try what is not considered a best practice, but it does help you learn what is going on with MVC and web site projects. I wanted to quickly write an RSS feed of the video in my site. I used the data model I already had for this site, then added a very simple controller… Notice the nice clean URLs I get? Notice how i can pass in arguments so that folks can build up customer feeds? It is simple to build your just about anything you can do wit Linq..
But the best part? Check out the RSS feedcode.. I litterally just grabbed the feed from my blog and parameterized it based on the ViewData.. One tip, notice I had to start he Xml on the SAME LINE as the Page directives.. the ensures there is no leading whitespace (which the RSS spec does not allow)…
Read my full post on this… RSS Feed with the new ASP.NET MVC Framework
4. Dynamic Data…
Ok, ok.. I didn't get a chance to add dynamic data to MySilverlightTV… but I still plan to. In the mean time, check out Scott Hunter's new blog.. he introduces dynamic data and will be talking about it more in the future. Also, check out the quickstarts for a very good overview.

A wedding day is full of unexpected little moments. It's pretty special to be there to capture the rawness, the tenderness and the sheer love of it all. I'm Emilie and I'm a creative wedding photographer in London. I treat life like a big adventure and view the world through cinematic frames. My photography style is a mix of creative documentary and fine art portraiture with what I call a touch of cinematic style.
Alongside artistic portraits, I love to capture real and genuine images that are full of raw emotion. Every wedding day has its own story, told in its own touching way by the people who make it so unique. I'm there to document those complex family interactions and dynamics (the good, the bad, the ugly – and often the funny). I'm interested in both pretty aesthetics and in seing the beauty of imperfect places and ordinary moments. I do this by connecting and communicating with my clients in a way that makes it easy for them to trust my artistic eye and that, excuse my French, I know my shit.
I want my couples to feel comfortable enough to truly be themselves in front of my lens. By getting a feel for who they are, their story and what makes them tick, I know how to approach the creative process with them and to put them at ease on one of the most emotional days of their lives.
Feel free to look around my portfolio, read more about me and find out how I work and get in touch for a chat to see if I might be the right creative wedding photographer for you.

Assistant manager Kevin Bond last night attempted to allay worries Tottenham may sell Luka Modric, after admitting earlier in the day he feared the playmaker was set to leave White Hart Lane.
With Chelsea weighing up whether to make a third bid for the Croatia international, Bond said yesterday morning that "every player has his price".
That comment is at odds with chairman Daniel Levy, who has previously insisted Modric is not for sale "at any price", and last night Bond stated: "In case my comments inadvertently misled anyone, the club's position is quite clear – we have no intention of selling him."

At 45 minutes from Quebec City, experience the tranquility of the countryside. Perfect getaway with family or friends. Visit the farm with the kids (chickens, rabbits, sheep, duck ...)Relax on the terrace along the flower garden and luxuriate in the pool after walking in the mountains. For a peaceful holiday and rejuvenating this is the place. The warm and steeped in history decor seduce you
The home had everything we needed. Beautifully decorated, comfy beds, fully stocked kitchen, and fantastic little animals for the kids to feed. Would definitely return again to this home.
Mon copain et moi avons passé notre première St-Valentin dans cette adorable petite maison, et nous n'aurions pu trouver mieux ! C'est vrai que le temps s'arrête, les petits problèmes de la vie s'envolent pour laisser place à la chaleur du magnifique poêle à bois. Et le fromage... wow !!!! On est allé en acheter dès qu'on a fini le premier ! Merci à Jean et Marie-Josée pour cette expérience, nous y reviendrons sans aucun doute !!
My family and I were looking for a place to stay which would house all eight of us comfortably. This was it! We were charmed by the uniqueness of the property and the care with which the owners tend to it. We felt at home right away. Every room was super clean. The bathroom had a lovely shower and laundry facilities. The home was meticulously decorated and it felt like I had stepped back in time. My children enjoyed the pool and the "fermette" with fresh eggs every morning! It was less than an hour drive through the historic countryside to Quebec City, as well as Ste. Anne de Beaupre and Mont Morency Falls. There is lots of opportunity for walks and hiking when the city needs a break. Thank you so much for inviting us in, Marie-Josee and Jean.
We are a family of five. The farm house was absolutely beautiful, just like a genuine farm house, very authentic. The kitchen was fully equipped and full of utensils. We had the fondue there! The hosts gave us some wonderful local cheese and we collected the freshly laid eggs each morning. The children enjoyed the pool. We bought live lobster and cooked, enjoyed the wine we bought from the vineyards and used the fresh herb from the garden. It would be perfect if there was some board games or maybe a DVD player. The sitting area is a little bit small for the five of us. Over all we had a really good time. Thank you.
Charming home in the country located less than 1 hour from Quebec city. Very comfortable home in a lovely natural setting. My kids enjoyed the swimming pool and visiting with the animals. We also used the outdoor fire and screened- in deck. Marie-Josee and Jean were wonderful hosts. Would definitely recommend for a quiet and peaceful getaway.
This is a nice house and excellent rural retreat especially for people living in cities and searching for peace, calmness and some country "chic". The owner is very welcoming and helpful. Québec City is just an easy day trip away. Excellent opportunities for hiking nearby.

Page 2: Wednesday, March 15Mature
Lenni noticed me standing there and turned. Schell and a few other people who'd been watching the big "drama fest" were hurrying to get to their next class. As she walked by me, she gave a wink and a nudge to confirm what she had heard this morning. I opened my mouth to say that it wasn't a big deal, but I knew it would be in vain, so I decided to keep my mouth shut until at least I knew what was going on.
"You should leave, Macy--" Lenni started to say, but I cut him off.
"No, you should leave. Like, right now?" To say I was irritated was an understatement. I couldn't believe they were doing this! I was more than aggrivated. I was infuriated with both of them. I was so angry, I could barely stand to look at either of them. It seemed as though Alex was just as mad, but for different reasons.
"Good idea, Lenni. You should go before someone gets hurt." Alex spoke behind clenched teeth and he had said Lenni's name with a sneer. I gave him a look that said, just you wait until I get you alone. Lenni, on the other hand, looked at me with an expression that was almost sympathetic.
"Fine then. I'll just let you two love birds have some alone time." He walked swiftly down the hall and past me. It was obvious to the three of us that my face was red with embarrassment.
"Macy," Alex tried to say, but I guess the look on my face said it all.
"What were you thinking?? You two are not fighting again." I wanted so badly to just knock their heads together.
"Macy, you don't understand. He threatened us! Said he'd put me in a coma and then keep you for himself. I swear, if I ever get my hands on him again. . ." There was acid in his hateful words.
That threw me for a loop. Would Lenni really say such a thing? I thought about that for a second. If Lenni really did like me, and I mean really, really liked me, would he be that determined to have me as his girlfriend? Maybe. Still, saying such a thing like putting my boyfriend in a coma seems a little extreme. Even for him. And at the same time, I had this little voice in the back of my head that told me I was being treated sort of like a piece of property.
"Still though, Alex. . . You shouldn't stoop to his level like that." I felt almost defensive about how he was handling things with my former friend. He sighed.
"I guess I'm just kinda pissed off that he's being so stupid about it."
"What do you mean?" I asked, slightly confused.
"Well. . ." he paused with an expression on his face that I couldn't read.
"Well? Well what?" I was starting to lose patience. And why shouldn't I? I mean, shouldn't I be slapping the sense out of him right now? Why did I let Lenni leave like that? So many questions were running through my head, leaving me emotionally exhausted.
"I mean. . . He should be more mature about letting you go. It seems pretty bogus; you liked him two years ago and didn't tell him, but then when you moved on, he just so happened to like you back."
I guess that makes sense, I said to myself.
"Well, I'm sure you're right. The problem is, Alex, sometimes you act just as immature as he does with this sort of thing." The look of pain on his face told me that he already knew that.
"Macy, I'm. . . I'm sorry we've put you through this. So sorry." He kissed me on the forehead and started walking away just as the bell rang. I caught his jacket sleeve.
"Please, don't go. Not like this. Why can't we talk more?" I felt almost desperate not to go to my next class. Firstly, I didn't have a pass. Secondly, I had to sit right next to Lenni. Also, I had no doubt in my mind that Lenni would be giving me look after look if I went in there. Alex turned around and hugged me tightly. I wrapped my arms around him too, but for a different reason that he held me. He held tight to me because of the same reason that he kissed me that day during the summer after he and Lenni had fought. That day rang in my head like it was yesterday.
"I feel so insecure," he had said. When I had asked why, he replied, "I'm afraid I'll lose you; I feel like you're one of those things that're just too easy to let go of. I don't wanna let go of you, Macy. I don't want to because I. . . I love you." That was our first real kiss. The kiss that I'll never forget.
What he said next brought me back to my senses. "Macy, I have to go. We both do."
"Why? I don't want you to leave. I could stay like this forever." I didn't want to let him go. Not if I had any say in it.
"We're both already tardy. I can come over after school and we can talk all night then. Okay?" He pulled away just enough so that he could look at me face to face. My lips were inches from his. In the heat of the moment, I pulled him in closer and made him kiss me, made him wrap his arms around me again. After a moment, I stepped back.
"Okay," I said, smiling. He looked surprised to say the least, and his cheeks were bright pink but he smiled too. "Good."
I nodded and skipped back to my fifth period History class without a sane thought in my head. On my way there, I coaxed the school counselor into writing me a hall pass so that I wouldn't be counted as tardy. When I walked into the classroom, I handed my teacher the note and walked happily to my desk. Luckily, I have a seat in the back row, so it was easier to hide the sheer elation of having such an amazingly wonderful boyfriend to share my everything with. Well, most everything. There are some secrets that girls just have to keep.
The end of History was kind of akward when Schell caught Lenni and I on the way out the door and said what a great couple we would make. Maybe, if I wasn't already with someone! I wanted to say, but once again, I shut my mouth.
When I sat down with all my friends at lunch, Schell was sitting across from me with her friends, Lauren Driscoll and Lauryn Spratte. (Weird, right? Lauren and Lauryn were also good friends with each other.) I pretended to clear my throat, hinting to the nice little stunt she had pulled before going to the cafeteria. Schell didn't bat an eyelash. She just kept babbling about her favorite kinds of shoes and the dress she was going to wear at the dance and her boyfriend, Andrew, and blah, blah. . .
I kicked her under the table to get her attention.
"Oww! Excuse me, what was that for??" She bent down to rub her shin.
"That was for telling someone who has an obvious crush on me that he and I would make a great couple!" I ground my teeth at her ignorance.
"Oh, yeah. . . Sorry about that." She laughed guiltily. Obviously, she knew somewhat the effects of her previous statement between Lenni and I.
"'Sorry about that.' Is that all you have to say?" I raised an eyebrow dramatically to show that I wasn't that concerned about it.
"Well. . . Yeah, I guess," she said, looking uncomfortable. I laughed at her seriousness.
"It's fine, Schell. You probably just didn't know the tidal waves you may or may not have caused by saying such a thing." I really didn't seem as stressed about it as I was.
"O-okay then. . . Sorry again."
"It's fine, I accept your apology." She seemed to look a little more relieved then.
Band, English, and Science were how I spent the rest of my day. I focused completely and entirely on each class, telling myself each hour that I just had to hold on until the end of school and the short ride home.
"So, you're being awful quiet," my mom said curiously. I was sitting with my head laying on my hand, looking out the window at the people who were hanging out or walking home.
"Sorry, I guess my thoughts are just somewhere else right now." Oh yeah, my thoughts were definitely somewhere else.
"Well, what do you want for dinner? Is Alex coming over today?" I nodded.
"I'm not really hungry," I said, causing her to raise an eyebrow.
"Are you sure?" I nodded again.
"Alrighty then. Well, just let me know if you do decide you want something."
"Okay." We pulled into the driveway and sat in Mom's silver Toyota Avalon for a minute, unspeaking. After a moment, she turned the car off and took the key out of the ignition.
". . . Did something happen today at school? Something I should know about?" I turned to look at her. She had a stern but also caring look on her face. I vaguely wondered how she could mix such emotions into the same expression.
"Not much, just a little quarrel between these two guys."
"Mmhm, and what were their names?" I got that look. You know, the look that says, You're already busted. Just come quietly and no one gets hurt. I sighed. She can read me better than I thought she could.
". . . Alex and Lenni." She nodded in self-satisfaction.
"And why were they fighting?" I rolled my eyes dramatically.
"Because they're stupid? Or maybe just because they're boys and they're territorial? Not that I think of them as animals or anything. . ." I trailed off, feeling lame. Mom laughed.
"I know what you meant. Well, I'm not gonna tell you it's easy. But as long as you have faith in yourself and the Lord, then you can get through it." She hugged me comfortingly.
"Thanks Mom, I appreciate it," I said just as Alex knocked on the car window. My mom gave an encouraging squeeze before we both got out of the car.
"Hello again Alex," my mom said, smiling at him.
"Hi Miss Lori." He put an arm around me in a gentle way. I felt like I was on cloud nine.
She nodded and waved. "Have fun, you two," she called over her shoulder before hopping up the steps and into the house. When she was gone, Alex looked down at me.
"So, how'd you hold up this afternoon without me?" When he saw the mixed expression on my face, he smirked. "Something wrong?"
"Not at all." I stuck my nose up and tried to act snobby, but I couldn't hold the pose with him looking at me like that.
"What?" I asked. His only reply was a quick, but breath-taking, kiss on the lips.
"Nothing important. Can we go inside?"
"Sure," I replied, grinning. We walked up the front steps together, hand in hand, until I had to let go because I was holding my book bag in one hand and had to open the door with the other; his arms were full with his back pack and holding me.
We walked into my room and I shut the door behind us. As soon as I did so, he threw down his bag and met me with a full-on kiss, using one hand to lift my chin up and the other on the small of my back in order to pull me deeper into the moment. After a long minute, he began to pull away, as if he was going to say something, but I pushed him on my bed and allowed myself to fall with him. We landed together, laughing and holding hands. I lay there for some time before leaning closer to him and putting my head on his chest.
"Something on your mind?" Alex asked as he put a hand behind his head and the other one around me.
"Not really," I said, although I did want to talk about today's earlier events. He didn't fall for it.
"I don't think so," he retorted. I could hear his heartbeat and feel his warm breath against my forehead. I looked up at him.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" I asked sarcastically.
"It means that I know you're thinking about what happened today." I heaved a sigh. Why wouldn't anybody let that go, especially if I was willing to?
"Not really. I'm just kinda curious as to why you're not steaming with anger after the stuff he said." He seemed almost hesitant to answer. I looked up at him in question.
"You want the truth?" I nodded. Well, obviously! I thought to myself. "Alright, quite honestly. . ." he trailed off, then finished his sentence. "I dunno. I have no idea why I'm not as mad as I probably should be. But what about you? I figured after this morning that you'd be trying to avoid both of us." He looked at me in a way that, once again, I couldn't understand. I shook my head.
"I could never be mad at you for that long. Of course I was this morning at school, but who wouldn't be?" I lay my head back down on his chest and closed my eyes. We sat there together in silence for I don't know how long, until Mom knocked on my door and said it was time for Alex to start walking home; it was sundown and he lived four blocks away. I sat up and looked at him. He looked almost like he could fall asleep right there. I shook him gently.
"Alex?" I asked. He opened his eyes and sat up next to me.
"I'm right here," he said, brushing my bangs out of my face with his hand.
We got up and hugged each other before I handed him his back pack and he headed down our front porch after a quick goodbye to my mother. I watched him walk down the block until he turned the corner (being my paranoid self), and Mom and I ate baked chicken and mashed potatoes. Afterwards, I took a shower, got into my pajamas, brushed my hair and teeth, and went to bed. Tucked into my cozy little bed, I slowly drifted to sleep with thoughts of this afternoon and my sweet, sweet Alex dancing in my head.

"I recently started working with SMooVo.com and I am already SO happy that I did! They are working hard and have already made a positive impact on my credit report. They helped remove negative items from my credit report that shouldn't have been there. This directly caused an increase in my credit score! I called their customer support line the other day and they were easy to talk to, the guy was VERY friendly and easy to understand, and in a country full of terrible customer service, SMooVo.com's customer service definitely gets an A+! The price they ask for their services is more than fair. I am very pleased with the service that I have received so far from SMooVo.com and I will definitely recommend them to my friends."

I recently did the british 10k in london. I hadn't done much running before I started my training for it. In my training for this run I found that my shins were hurting a lot and based on internet research decided it might be shin splints. I took myself to my local running shop and they told me that I was over-pronating and this may be the cause of my problems, so I bought some running shoes that provided support to stop this happening. The problems went away and I was fine. This was probably about 3 months ago. I am now training for a half marathon and did my first speedwork training session today and afterwards my shins were hurting like they had done before. Does anyone have any advice that might help my avoid this? Thanks for any help!
Hi dh1990,
I've literally just replied tom someone about the same issue, heres what I put::
Have you tried barefoot running? I used to get shin splints (shin pain) all of the time until I started running on a treadmill barefoot (well, with socks). I don't know if it was because my trainers were making me heal strike, or if it is because we are designed to run barefoot, but it sorted the problem out almost straight away. I know barefoot running strengthens your feet, which in turn will help your run.
You also said you're doing speedwork. Are you sprinting a set distance and then stopping yourself as quickly as you can, eg before you hit a railing, fence, trees? It could also be the "slapping" of your feet as you stop yourself.
Hope this helps
