EMM64 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 30 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
Mr Aristotle
We are looking for a Mascot and Logo for our company Mr Aristotle. We are wanting the brand to be characterized by this fictional character. Mr Aristotle's character profile is below.
He has a sophisticated sense of humor conveyed through the character of Mr Aristotle. He is a throwback to the playboy adventurers of old – he is the Great Gatsby meets Indiana Jones. He has his own style and it works. He embraces all that life has to offer with a smile on his face, a wink in his eye and a perfectly chilled Gin and Tonic in his hand.
From an inspiration point of view, Mr Aristotle lives in a time when people did not go on holiday - they 'Vacationed'. Summer months were spent traveling the Orient Express from London to Venice stopping along the way to stay at the finest hotels in Europe. The Winter months were spent on safari in Kenya, exploring Inca temples in Peru before relaxing on a steamboat down the Nile.
Life was carefree as long as you had the keys to the penthouse suite and the name of a good tailor. Travel and exploration was not a holiday but a way-of-life.
Mr Aristotle now finds himself in the 21st Century and he is enjoying every moment. More high-jinx to be had and adventures to do. Now this is really living.
Mr Aristotle is a high class experience booking system, where people can book exclusive experiences online all over the world.
As we offer a vast variety of experiences we are unable to list all demographics – instead we have chosen to go with psycho-graphics of our target audience.
- A Modern Nomad
- Affluent 25-49 year-olds (but not restricted to this age bracket)
- Well travelled – citizen of the world
- A Culturally aware pioneering spirit
Our clients are well-travelled and are looking for destinations for experiences that reflect their spirit of fun and adventure. The brand needs to be a reflection of their own sense of individuality. We want people to feel that they have entered an environment of like-minded people who have a joie d'vivre. They are just as comfortable in black-tie as they are in a hammock.
Life is not to be taken seriously – just seriously enjoyed.
We are looking for a mascot and logo design for Mr Aristotle.
We envision an illustrated character as the mascot and a handwritten style signature as the logo, the signature would need to be clear, however it should also look like it was hand written.
We would require all files submitted in Illustrator AI files.

(The Sports Xchange) - The Cleveland Cavaliers plan to sign No. 1 overall draft pick Andrew Wiggins to a contract this week, according to ESPN.com.
The delay in signing the rookie shooting guard is reportedly not related to speculation that the team may trade him to the Minnesota Timberwolves for All-Star power forward Kevin Love.
Instead, the Cavaliers have been looking for ways to use their remaining $1.4 million in salary cap space before signing Wiggins to a contract that will pay him about $5.5 million this season.
The Cavaliers and Timberwolves have been in talks about a trade involving Wiggins and Love since star forward LeBron James decided to return to Cleveland.
NBA rules dictate that once Wiggins is signed, the Cavaliers must wait at least 30 days before they can trade him.
The Los Angeles Lakers officially re-signed guard Nick Young to a multi-year contract, the team announced Monday.
Terms were not released, but the Los Angeles Times reported previously that Young agreed to a four-year, $21.5-million deal.
Young had a career year in 2013-14 after originally signing with the Lakers as a free agent in July 2013. The Los Angeles native averaged a career-high 17.9 points in his first season with the Lakers.
The Lakers also re-signed free agent forward Ryan Kelly. In 2013-14, his rookie NBA season, the 23-year-old Kelly averaged 8.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 22.2 minutes per game, and started 25 contests while appearing in 59 total games.
The Dallas Mavericks signed free agent forward Richard Jefferson.
Last season, the veteran averaged 10.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 27.0 minutes while shooting 45 percent from the floor and 40.9 from 3-point range in 82 games for the Utah Jazz.
The Indiana Pacers signed free agent guard Rodney Stuckey. Last season, Stuckey averaged 13.9 points and 2.1 assists in 73 games with the Detroit Pistons.
The Phoenix Suns signed free agent forward Anthony Tolliver to a multi-year contract.
Tolliver, a six-year NBA veteran, averaged 6.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 20.3 minutes in 64 games last season with the Charlotte Bobcats.
The Chicago Bulls re-signed guard Kirk Hinrich. Last season, Hinrich averaged 9.1 points, 3.9 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game for the Bulls.
The Bulls also signed second-round draft pick Cameron Bairstow. The 6-foot-9, 250-pound forward was taken No. 49 overall by the Bulls.
The Charlotte Hornets signed free agent forward Marvin Williams.
Williams averaged 9.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 25.4 minutes over 66 games for the Jazz last season.
NBA Development League president Dan Reed is stepping down to join Facebook as head of global sports partnerships. Reed's last day with the league is July 31.

Located on the banks of the Hudson and Harlem Rivers and within Columbia University's 27-acre Baker Athletic Complex, Robert K. Kraft Field at Lawrence A. Wien Stadium (pronounced WEEN) is the cornerstone of an impressive collection of facilities for Columbia Football.
One of the most modern football stadiums on the East Coast featuring beautiful views of the Hudson River and fall foliage from Inwood Hill Park, Robert K. Kraft Field at Lawrence A. Wien Stadium was described by Sports Illustrated as "one of the most beautiful places in the country to watch a football game."
In its fourth decade as the official Lions' Den, Robert K. Kraft Field at Lawrence A. Wien Stadium seats 17,000 and is home to Columbia's football and women's lacrosse teams. The stadium, which opened in 1984, also boasts a 400-meter outdoor track and is utilized by Columbia's other outdoor varsity sports. It is the largest multi-purpose stadium on the island of Manhattan and the only regulation-sized football stadium with a capacity of 10,000 or more in Manhattan.
A brand-new FieldTurf artificial playing surface was installed at Wien Stadium during the summer of 2015. The Lions practice and compete on FieldTurf, the same infill system used by many NFL teams. FieldTurf was first installed at the stadium in 2005 replacing AstroTurf.
In October 2007, Columbia announced that the playing field at Lawrence A. Wien Stadium would be named Robert K. Kraft Field in honor of Robert Kraft '63CC, owner of the New England Patriots and Chairman and CEO of the Kraft Group.
In addition to providing a modern facility for Columbia's student-athletes, Lawrence A. Wien Stadium acts as a modern athletics arena in a traditional setting which provides for the needs of fans, alumni and the media. The Columbia press box, located on the east side of the field, stands at the top of a three-level structure that also houses the Maniatty-Remer Lounge, home to numerous alumni gatherings. The Maniatty-Remmer Lounge was remodeled prior to the 2015 season. The East stands below the press and lounge areas, hold 10,500 spectators in armchair, contour and bench seats. In 1986, the construction of the 6,500-seat west bleachers increased stadium capacity to the current 17,000.
Over the years, Lawrence A. Wien Stadium has been the site of numerous football television broadcasts by various networks including ESPN, NBC Sports Network, Fox College, CBS Sports Network, Ivy League Digital Network, Public Broadcasting System, Yes Network and OneWorld Sports.
Beyond the west stands is a panoramic view of Spuyten Duyvil and Inwood Hill Park, the confluence of the Hudson and Harlem rivers, the apartment skyscrapers of Riverdale and the New Jersey Palisades. The view is one reason that Wien Stadium was featured in Sports Illustrated as one of the "most beautiful places in the country" to watch a football game.
Dressing facilities for teams, coaches and officials are located within Chrystie Field House, while the coaches' offices, team meeting rooms, conference rooms and fully equipped training facility are located at the Campbell Sports Center, which opened in January 2013.
Wien Stadium also boasts a 400-meter, all-weather, eight-lane track, making it the finest track & field facilities in the New York City area. Since its installation, it has been the site for the New York Track & Field Games, the Heptagonal Championships and the Metropolitan Championships. At the north end, the stadium also features a video scoreboard which was installed in 2009, one of the first of its kind in the Ivy League.
The stadium was originally named for Lawrence A. Wien, '25CC, '28LAW, a former Columbia trustee, prominent philanthropist, lawyer and entrepreneur, who donated $3 million to the project before his passing in 1988. Subsequent gifts from Wien paid for the west stands, the 3,500-seat Columbia Soccer Stadium, and the Mae Wien Center for Women's Athletics.
The original Baker Field was purchased for the university by financier George H. Baker for $700,000 on December 31, 1921. It was dedicated the following April, but it was not until 1923 that the Columbia football team began playing there. A 32,000-seat wooden stadium was built on the site in 1928; this was in use until 1982, when it was demolished to make room for the current Wien Stadium.

When these babies have babies
There is a world in which Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber are considered adults - parental figures, even if for just one day, to those for whom these two could, mathematically and biologically, be mommy and daddy.
Here they are spending the weekend in Malibu with Bieber's siblings, Jaxon and Jazmyn. (I will not comment on these names or the spelling of them but sometimes I wish blogging could come with facial expressions.)
Justin turns 18 next month, the same age his mother Pattie was when he was born. And you know how it is with these kids: they always think they're older than they are. Their lifestyle is for those who are older than they are. And when you're in love like this for the first time, it feels like forever, it always does. See Jamie Lynn Spears. In that case, it was almost her way of exiting the business, an option her sister never had.
There are a lot of people on the Bieber payroll making sure that doesn't happen here. Sometimes though, teens and hormones are too powerful of a combination. What happens in Hollywood if personal values don't correspond to business plans? That much is obvious. But what if both people don't agree? Well, that's when it can get expensive. Use protection!

Buttoning Up--Final Assembly Steps Before Heading Off To The Dyno
Finally, there's light at the end of the tunnel. In this, the fourth installment of Circle Track's Limited Late Model engine build, we're finishing up the assembly before heading back to KT Engine Development to dyno test our results. This is the fun part of the build, all the pre-fitting and measuring has already been done, and many of the steps on the following pages make the engine look complete. But just because we're doing "simple" things like bolting up the oil pan and valve covers, this is still not the time to get careless. Attention to detail is paramount if you want all your hard work to result in a race engine that not only makes good power but also will be dependable race after race.
Remember, our goal when we started this series, was not just to impress you with a cool engine when everything is finished, but to show you how you can do much of this work yourself. The money you save can go toward purchasing better-quality parts or the tire bill. It doesn't matter as long as it's assisting your racing program.
Along the way, we've tried to provide plenty of tips that will help you should you try to build-or rebuild-your own race engine. We chose a Chevrolet because it is by far the most popular make of engine to be found on tracks across the country, but no matter what brand you race or what class, much of what is found in this series can benefit you. After all, it doesn't matter if you are racing a pure stock or a Super Late Model, good engine-building practices don't vary. Let's get to it.

Continuing their long-running expansion program, T-Mobile has now announced 10 new metro areas that will be making use of the 1900 MHz spectrum they gained from AT&T when their merger failed. Unlike T-Mo's traditional AWS spectrum, that's just the kind of HSPA+ your unlocked iPhone can make good, fast use of. Here's T-Mobile's full list:
Central and Southern Arizona
- Phoenix, including Tempe, Scottsdale, Glendale, Peoria, Paradise Valley, Surprise and Ahwatukee
- Mesa, including Chandler and Gilbert
- Tucson, including South Tucson, Marana, and Vail
San Francisco Bay Area
- Silicon Valley, including Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Santa Clara, San Jose
- Oakland
- San Francisco
Central Valley, California
- Stockton
- Modesto
South Florida
- Miami, including Coral Gables and Miami Beach
- Fort Lauderdale, including Hollywood
With the new areas accounted for, T-Mobile has now rolled out their 4G HSPA+ network to a total of 15 locations including the previously announced Baltimore, Houston, Kansas City, Las Vegas and Washington D.C. In addition to that, they note network enhancements are also coming to Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, the New York metro area, Philadelphia, San Diego and Seattle.
As expected, their wooing of iPhone owners continues as well with the claim that testing has shown that unlocked iPhone 4S devices running over their 4G HSPA+ network have on average, 70% faster download speeds than iPhone 4S devices on AT&T's network.

The Breakfast Briefing
A key technical level for the stock market remains front and center.
Yesterday's late-day selloff pushed the S&P 500 to 1375, its lowest level since early August and about six points below its 200-day moving average.
The S&P 500 has now traded below this technical mark — which chart watchers say separates short-term uptrends and downtrends — for three straight days. While the breach certainly isn't positive, several market technicians aren't hitting the panic button just yet.
"It's been a very lethargic trade," says Scott Redler, chief strategic officer at T3 Trading Group LLC in New York.
Last week following the big post-Election Day selloff, Redler warned that how investors would handle the S&P 500 falling below its 200-day average over the next few sessions would give clues on whether the weakness would persist. Since then, the market has registered muted moves on low trading volume over the last three trading days.
Considering recent history, that may be a bullish sign.
The lack of conviction around the 200-day is similar to what transpired the last time the S&P 500 fell through this technical level in early June. Back then, the S&P 500 was putting its finishing touches on a 10% slide. It spent two days trading slightly below its 200-day average before bouncing back and embarking on a summer rally amid hopes of more Fed stimulus.
"Last June the 200-day was used as a 'sellers trap,'" Redler says. "We broke below it for two days and then reclaimed it, which marked the Summer bottom."
This time around, the S&P 500 has fallen 6% since mid-September, as worries about the looming fiscal cliff have percolated.
There are reasons for short-term hope. All 10 large-cap S&P 500 sectors are in "oversold" territory, according to Bespoke Investment Group, meaning they could be ripe for a bounce.
Additionally, Cisco Systems's upbeat quarterly results late yesterday bode well for tech stocks, which have been leading the market lower over the last few months. The network-gear maker reported its fourth-straight quarter of earnings growth following its high-profile stumble in 2011. Shares rose 8% in after-hours trading.
Still, concerns remain about what may transpire for the rest of the year. Unlike in June, financial markets face a major headwind in the form of the so-called fiscal cliff of tax increases and spending cuts expected in early 2013.
The Fed has already unleashed its QE bazooka, earnings season is over and Europe is still a big problem.
"I think we are getting close to equity market lows, but we're not quite there," says Mark Newton, chief technical analyst at Greywolf Execution Partners. "A move back down to new low territory either next week, or the final week of November would complete patterns from early October, suggesting a bigger low is at hand which would lead to a bigger bounce."
Until then, he suggests investors tiptoe with caution.
"For now, the trend remains bearish," Newton says.
Morning MarketBeat Daily Factoid: On this day in 1972, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 1,000 for the first time ever. It finished that day at 1,003.16.

Stocks to Watch
Retailers remain prominent among the companies scheduled to report quarterly financial results, featuring Staples Inc., PetSmart Inc. and Williams-Sonoma Inc.
Away from the retail sector, Tyco International Ltd. and Meritor Inc. will come in for attention as they hand in their quarterly report cards.
Staples is expected to report third-quarter earnings of 45 cents a share, according to the consensus derived in a survey by FactSet Research.

As seen in the screen cap that Gorman captured, the definition of "gay" provided by the dictionary application on her MacBook Pro laptop describes "gay" as "foolish; stupid." The contextual example provided only drives the negative connotation home: "making students wait for the light is kind of a gay rule."
"At first, I was kind of in disbelief," the Lincoln-Sudbury High sophomore said, adding she couldn't find any other dictionaries that used that particular definition except to denounce it as derogatory.
Gorman, whose parents are lesbians, said she's used to hearing the term "that's so gay" thrown around in everyday conversations around her, but was hurt that a "humongous company" like Apple would legitimize it in its own application.
"I felt like they had to take care of it," she said.
Gorman then emailed Apple CEO Tim Cook, saying:
"I assume that you are a pro-gay company, and would never intend for any one of your products to be as offensive as this definition was. Even with your addition of the word informal, this definition normalizes the terrible derogatory twist that many people put on the word 'gay.'"
To her surprise, Gorman received a phone call at home from someone from Apple an hour later.
"They told me it's so hard to track the dictionaries they're getting sources from, and that they were also shocked themselves," Gorman said.
But while the representative indicated Apple would look into the problem, the dictionary hasn't been changed, she said.
"I feel like we're going to have to make a bigger deal about it before they actually act on it," she said.
What do you think of the inclusion of the offensive definition? Does it legitimize the pejorative usage?
How quickly will Apple fix the problem?
I would like to know if other words are in the dictionary that are considered offensive by other minority groups as well.
I do appreciate that someone looked and did in fact see that it says informal, often offensive because that is in fact true.
Now that the issue has been brought to their attention I would like to see it fixed. No need to "wait for the next update" as it were.

In May 2012 LucasArts was told by George Lucas to rework Star Wars 1313 into a Boba Fett title, a Kotaku source has revealed.
This means that prior to the game's splash at E3 the team was told the project as it stood needed big changes, which goes some way to explaining why the title disappeared off the radar.
Concept art for the title appears to show Fett standing over Bossk, a lizard-like bounty hunter.
"They ended up with movie tech that wouldn't fit in a game, and game tech that wouldn't fit in a movie," a source told Kotaku. "1313 was always in danger of not being made."
With LucasArts now closed it seems unlikely the project will progress any further, but expect to see many more Star Wars titles as a result of licensing deals.

Just a note that the Tennessee Conference Commission on Archives and History, which has suffered several setbacks in recent years because of sickness, injury and death among its members, has added several new faces who have joined because of a strong passion for history in the church. Leland Carden is serving as president as we have worked to prepare budgets, address staffing needs, prepare for our role in the SEJ Historical Society Meeting that will be held in Nashville in a few weeks, and generally coordinate the work of the committee.
The CAH has also had joint meetings with the leadership of the Conference Historical Society while planning the SEJ meeting. These meetings have been productive enough that there has been talk of continuing in this format to further extend the connection between the two entities. (Of course, any official business by either group is conducted solely with the votes of the members of the group involved.)

Good morning.
Stocks have a few things going for them today as they make their push toward what could be a seventh straight week of gains. One of them, from a broader market perspective, is Kate Upton. More on that below.
Another, at least in Japan, is a not-so-gentle equity goosing courtesy of the country's economics minister. Or, as Cullen Roche puts it, "the worst abuse of central bank powers." When does Bernanke announce his S&P 500 price target?
In Washington, we'll see if our president — or maybe even the Tea Party — inspires enough economic hope to send a bullish charge into the markets. One thing you can count on, gun stocks, one way or another, will be in play.
If this Motor City Madman has any say in it, it's time to load up.
Key market gauges: The Nikkei /quotes/zigman/5986735 JP:100000018 came back from a three-day weekend with a 2% jump after Economics Minister Akira Amari said he wants to see the index move up to 13,000 by the end of March. That would represent a 14% increase from Tuesday's close. His unorthodox call "shows imagination, and the upside is much bigger than the downside," according to Felix Salmon.
In the U.S., futures on the Dow /quotes/zigman/9049316 YMH3 and the S&P /quotes/zigman/8751039 ESH3 aren't showing any real desire to extend their weekly streak. Meanwhile Europe /quotes/zigman/2380150 XX:SXXP isn't showing much of anything at all. Read Europe Markets.
The economy: Fed talk will dominate a mostly light economic calendar throughout the day, with some of quantitative easing's biggest skeptics on tap, including Esther George, Charles Plosser and Jeffrey Lacker.
Later, President Barack Obama will give his State of the Union speech, with policies for addressing gun violence set to take center stage. Ted Nugent won't pass up his chance to turn the whole thing into a "tabloid spectacle." Politico says it'll be "less a presidential olive branch than a congressional cattle prod."
Check out this cheatsheet from the Pew Research Center.
The buzz: After yesterday's confusion on the exact earnings date (which has been confirmed as next week), Tesla /quotes/zigman/118681 /quotes/nls/tsla TSLA remains in the spotlight this morning. Turns out founder Elon Musk took issue with the range-anxiety-inducing story in The New York Times. And where else would he air his grievances but Twitter?
NYTimes article about Tesla range in cold is fake. Vehicle logs tell true story that he didn't actually charge to max & took a long detour.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 11, 2013
How does he know? Tesla keeps a tally on its reviewers, especially after the Top Gear debacle. Here he is telling Bloomberg TV why he's so "incensed by this ridiculous article," saying Tesla will deliver the proof. Then there's the response from the paper, explaining that, "of course," his claim is "flatly untrue." Of course.
Among some of the other top-trending tickers, Facebook /quotes/zigman/9962609 /quotes/nls/fb FB shares are down almost 3% premarket after Bernstein Research cut its price target on the stock to $27 from $33, while Lions Gate Entertainment /quotes/zigman/242371 /quotes/nls/lgf LGF is poised for a big day with the release of its "Twilight"-enhanced quarterly report.
Not getting enough news on Apple /quotes/zigman/68270 /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL lately? Tune into Tim Cook's presentation at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference. Live streaming audio starts here at 10:15 a.m. Eastern.
The chart of the day: Let's circle back to guns. "Common wisdom is that true gun control would be bad for the gun stocks. So what are they doing post Newtown and leading into the State of the Union? Not what you might think," writes Greg Harmon on the Dragonfly Capital blog. Here's a chart on Sturm Ruger /quotes/zigman/242215 /quotes/nls/rgr RGR that suggests any selling should provide a good entry point at $50 a share.
The call of the day: Think the Super Bowl Indicator is ridiculous? Then you'll just love the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Indicator, if only for the image it requires. Anyway, bulls rejoice. America's very own Kate Upton again graces the cover of the "sports" magazine, and that can only mean one thing. This market also has legs.
In fact, in the past 35 years, when a gal from the good ol' U.S. of A. has grabbed the cover, the S&P has averaged 14.3% and has posted a positive full-year performance 88% of the time. Then, when it's someone from Sweden, Mexico, or anywhere else, those numbers drop to 10.8% and 76.5%, respectively.
And the pro forma difference would be much more dramatic if it wasn't for the curse of Marisa Miller in 2008, when the stock market plunged 37%. Check out all the numbers from the Bespoke Investment Group.
Random reads: DCM Capital is selling its investor sentiment analysis trading platform. In what it claims to be a world first, the company will go to the highest bidder, which is currently at 100,000 pounds. Less than a week to go.

Former Kittie Bassist Jenn Arroyo Cast in New Season of 'Big Brother'
The new season of CBS reality show 'Big Brother' kicks off next Thursday, July 12, at 9PM ET, with a headbanger in the cast. Onetime Kittie bassist Jenn Arroyo, who was with the band from 2002 through 2005, will appear on the show.
A bio of the Brooklyn-born, tattooed Arroyo is posted on the show's website.
She describes herself as "smart, sexy and funny" and says that she loves to play guitar and bass. Arroyo, 37, also claims that her journal entries often end up as song lyrics.
She is coping with the fact that her participation on this quirky show requires her to be away from her family and friends, with no contact, because as a touring musician, she knows all-too-well what being away from those you love is like. "I have been on very long tours far away from my loved ones and survived, so I can do this," she writes. That alone gives Arroyo an edge to win the show.
See, being in a metal band can properly prepare you for any situation life throws at you!
Arroyo , who is now a member of the band Suicide City, is obviously a dedicated musician, as she also wrote that "I'm so very proud of every album I've ever worked on. A piece of my heart and soul are located within." A guitar, laptop and flat iron are the items she would bring into the Big Brother House.
And if she becomes famous from winning the show? She is adamant that it won't change her.
Upon winning, Arroyo claims she would "head right back into the studio and record a full length album and then head out on the road with my band and tour. Start a music program to help underprivileged kids stay focused. Music has saved my life and I want to give back to what has been so good to me."
In case you are not super familiar with the show, a group of contestants are thrown together in a house, watched 24/7 by cameras. To win the grand prize of cash, the contestants need to survive periodic evictions.
Will you watch 'Big Brother' since it has a metalhead in the cast?

Brian Friedman needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 119 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
I own my own photography business and I specialize in portraits and events. To be specific: Corporate Events, Weddings/Special Events, and Portraits - many of which are famous comedians. I started the company on my own by myself. Used to work in the entertainment biz. I do my best to create ART from the very simple, to the very complex. Moments that seem ordinary I try to capture in a way that presents them in a way that people go "oh I didn't see it like that." I'm not a "grip and grin" type photographer. I'm constantly being told my photos are so "unique" and so "different." I work very hard at capturing the essence of people and their lives. When I shoot corporate events I aim to also make "art" out of events that can be quite ordinary and even mundane. I try to draw my viewer into the photo by presenting the scene in a unique way.
Couple of markets, and the logo has to work across them given my style.
1. Corporate (events and portraiture)
2. Weddings (both american and people from other parts of the world coming to NYC to be married)
3. Portraiture
My audience obviously ranges, but they have taste and I need for the logo to stand out. I am not looking for a logo that has a camera or ANYTHING camera/photo related in it. That's been done a zillion times already. My audience is sophisticated and knows a good product when they see it, especially on the corporate side. My wedding clients (mostly brides hire me) won't care as much as the corporate folks do, but I want the logo to "pop" and to be "unique" and appeal to both those audiences. I get that they are quite different and that will make this a unique challenge, but all in all if it's appealing then it shouldn't be too difficult.
My ideal logo:
1. First you should look at my sites and get a feel for my work. http://www.b-freed.com, http://www.b-freedweddings.com, http://www.b-freed.com/blog. The wedding site is going to be switched over to an identical layout as the non wedding site.
2. I am changing the name to BFREEDPHOTO - this way it's easier for people to remember and I have the .com version. So I want the logo to be for BFREEDPHOTO. I am open to it being all upper or lower case or mixed. WHATEVER LOOKS BEST
3. Absolutely no camera or GIMMICKY photo related art should be used. That's been done a zillion times
4. I want it to be CLASSY, FUNKY-ISH, UNIQUE, BEAUTIFUL.
5. I would ideally like some kind of illustration + my name. I'd like to be able to separate them as needed
6. Logo will be used on my sites AS WELL AS to watermark images so keep that in mind for sizing and readability.
7. I'm open to colors - let my images help do the talking for me. I'm trusting you guys to do what you do best.
8. I'd like a black and white version as well as color. This may work better to watermark images.
9. I need an eps file as well as a psd file with a transparent background. I am not a designer so if there is any other "standard" format please supply that too.
10. Can't stress enough to look at my work and get a feel for it! No doubt the winning design will best represent what I have and appeal to my audiences.

Dallas Injury Report: Buehler Might Need MRI
Add another injury to the list. Kickoff specialist David Buehler has a a bruised pinky toe.
The report comes from Nick Eatman at dallascowboys.com:
If the injuries weren't enough from Sunday's game, now it appears that kicker David Buehler has a bruised pinky toe on his right foot. He suffered the injury while covering a punt.
Head coach Wade Phillips said the team is aware of the injury, which occurred when the rookie was stepped on during the play.
Buehler was noticeably limping in the locker room on Monday and said it's a painful injury. There's a good chance he could have an MRI to check for a fracture.
While Buehler is right-footed, he said the injury would've been worse on his left plant foot.
If for some reason he doesn't play, the Cowboys would at least have Nick Folk to handle the kickoffs.
Hat tip to Nate the Cowboy Ninja for the news.

Bethelites listen to entertainment at Junior-Senior
the CLARION
Vol e XLII—No. 26 Bethel College, St. Paul, Minn. Thursday, May 16, 1968
Festival choir presents Bach motet,
Vivaldi cantata tonight in fieldhouse
Bethel's CHOICE '68 vote follows
similar pattern to n•tional results
In action stemming from stu-dent
initiative, the Educational
Policies Committee approved in a
meeting last week, May 8, a one
credit course in The Negro in
American Culture for the fall se-mester
of 1968.
The course will be interdiscipli-nary.
It will be organized under
the supervision of the Dean who
will work with the academic corn-mittee
of the Student Senate in
enlisting participation from faculty
of various departments.
Student support was the key fac-tor
in the decision of the commit-tee
to approve the course. The
proposal had been discussed in
recent issues of the Clarion, and a
petition carrying the names of over
60 students interested in such a
course was submitted to the Edu-cational
Policies Committee.
Dr. Dalphy Fagerstrom, chairman
of the committee, said the action

Her accompanist is Karen Hale.
Also assisting her will be Harriet

Dennis, also in music education,
will perform selections by Bach,
Beethoven, and Kabalevsky. Three
of his own hymn arrangements are
included in the program.
The recital begins at 8:00 p.m.,
and an informal reception will be
held afterwards.

Dr. Fagerstrom said the commit-tee
viewed the course as "a learn-ing
experience for both students
and faculty." In participating in
this kind of experience, faculty
members may develop material
which they will then go back and
incorporate into their regular cour-ses
of instruction.
"This is viewed more as a one-time
shot than a long range pro-gram,"
Dr. Fagerstrom said, al-though
indicating that an evalua-tion
of The Negro in American

in determining the merit of con

similar short term courses relevent
to contemporary problems.

Sponsored by the Senior Class,
the concert will provide an unique
combination of the sacred and the
secular in musical form. Needless
to say, the Ylvisaker sound has
created some stir in the tradition-al
church, but it is an attempt to
give the institutional church a re-newed
awareness of its environ-ment
and its ability to communi-cate
with this environment.
A feature article in the Dallas
Morning News called their pro-gram
"the greatest." The Saginaw
News comments, "the Ylvisakers'
message, told in lyrics set to the
tunes of popular folk and rock mu-sic,
deals with the problem of life
in the city and of the beauty in
personal relationships. Nobody
sleeps through their sermons."
The feature writer of another
newspaper had this to say, "The
Ylvisakers' music is in direct con-trast
to our separationist hang-up.
A comfortable but unsettling union
of the secular and the sacred, it
uses contemporary sounds to pre-sent
religious motives. The result
is a strangely moving experience."
Controversial is the word for this
uncompromising attempt to reach
today's world with the Christian
faith, and sponsors hope it will stir
discussion. In Mr. Ylvisaker's
words: "Listen, react, and ask your-self
the question; is the church
finally ready for a musical revolu-tion?"
Senator Eugene J. McCarthy won
CHOICE '68 according to prelimi-nary
national results based on 1,-
207 schools. Richard Nixon re-ceived
the most votes from Bethel
while McCarthy ranked second
with 31.3% of the students voting.
Senator McCarthy topped nation-al
results with 285,898 first-place
votes. Senator Robert Kennedy
placed second with 213,832 votes.
Richard Nixon captured third place
with 197,167.
From the 1,207 schools that sub-mitted
results, 1,072,000 students
expressed presidential preferences
and opinions on key issues. Forty-four
percent of these students will
be of voting age in November.
es is good as a means of empha-sizing
important areas presently
slighted by the curriculum, Dr. Fa-gerstrom
felt that, pedagogically,
the material disucssed in this type
of course would best be absorbed

The 150 member choir and
a 20 piece orchestra composed of
professional musicians of the Twin

Faculty articles
discuss future
This week's issue of the Clarion
opens a discussion on the future
of the Christian liberal arts college
which will feature the contribu-tions
of several faculty members.
The discussion will be continued
in next week's issue, the final edi-tion
of the 1967-68 school year.
Dr. Dalphy Fagerstrom, profes-sor
of history and college librarian,
writes on this topic this week. His

lege can rightfully choose a pro-gram
designed mainly to serve and
preserve its youth. Staff who com-mit
themselves to this work can
contribute joyously to it and take
satisfaction in a meaningful de-nominational
role. Their work is
with a select group in the critical
post-high school years and there-fore
is a strategic work.
But the rapidly diminishing role
of this kind of program in the
world of higher education should
be recognized. Such an institution
today may be in a position ana-lagous
to that of the Bible Insti-tute
a generation ago, soon to be
largely superceded by the course
of events.
There is another and more exci-ting
role for the Christian college.
It is in the strategic potential for
a progressive and high quality lib-eral
arts program under evangeli-cal
sponsorship and addressed to
society at large. Such a program
could truly be described as a mis-sion
in higher education. I doubt
that any college with a conserva-tive
theological orientation now
mounts such a program.
Some have adopted current fads
in calendar and credit structure
and make great (and 'specious)
claims for superior objectivity on
grounds that they are open to
study of religious assumptions
while secular institutions are not.
But the evidence of creative and
authentically academic programs
under evangelical sponsorship is
There are no doubt many rea-sons
for failure to develop progres-sive
missions in higher education,
but since teaching is central to the
whole enterprise, perhaps the cen-tral
problem relates to conserva-tive
anxieties and confusion about
teaching. There is confusion, for
example, about the objective of
"integrating faith and knowledge."
Most Christian educators profess
to want to (bring Christian truth
integrally into the disciplines they
study and teach, but few.describe
in practical terms how this is ac-complished
(i.e., beyond some gen-eral
assertions such as "Christ is
the source of all truth' or "there
is an ultimate unity in knowledge").
Some, in a search for safety, re-sort
to dogmatic pronouncements.
Some insist that the Christian col-lege
instructor must utter proposi-tions
he would not utter in a secu-lar
institution or that there is no
significant difference between the
two types of institution.
The fundamental issue, I suggest,
in the problem of integrating faith
and knowledge in college instruc-tion
is in techniques of communi-cation,
and in the educational in-stitution
this is a problem of peda-gogy.
Evangelically sponsored col-leges
generally do not admit the
wide lattitude in pedagogical ap-proaches
that must be permitted
and encouraged if a creative and
comprehensive learning experience
is to be possible.
Assuming that faculty have cho-sen
to live and work within the
theological framework of the spon-sors,
the instructors need not and
should not be exhorted to formu-late
Christian truth in the class-room
in any specific way. The in-structors
need only be encouraged
to teach as conscientious Christian

The "Open Letter of Concern," written by Bethel Semi-nary
students after Martin Luther King's assassination, has trig-gered
an avalanche of reaction, both pro and con, in Baptist
General Conference circles. Some have commended the semi-narians
for their concern while others have questioned the
practical value of a statement composed within the "ivory
towers" of the Arden Hills campus.
It would be most naive to assume that "the letter of
concern" is responsible for anything more than free expres-sion
of existing questions and suspicions. Conference members
have long looked at various trends among "the younger gen-eration"
with distrust.
First, they feel that today's youth are either apathetic
or otherwise championing peripheral issues (e.g., civil rights,
Viet Nam war) and have lost sight of their primary purpose
as Christians—evangelizing the world.
Secondly, they wonder whether seminaries and church-related
colleges, i.e. Bethel, are at fault for the comparative
failure of the church to evangelize the world.
These ideas are prevalent in the conference today. Pick up
the May 6 edition of the Standard. Listen to conversations
in conference churches. Again and again you find these senti-ments
To many college students this is both irritating and
perplexing. First, they do not believe that Bethel students,
seminary or college, are victims of misdirected energies, and
intend to make social work their gospel, losing sight of their
greater task. Secondly, they wonder how the older generations
can talk of the "failure to evangelize the world," and then point
their fingers anywhere but at themselves.
Why had little advance been made toward world evan-gelism
in the 1920's? Many of the strongest critics of today's
youth were in full bloom then. Why was little progress made
in the 1930's? Why was little accomplished during the forties
or fifties?
These questions cannot be answered by pointing at the
younger generation. Nor can they be answered by pointing at
the shortcomings of seminaries or church-related colleges. Even
the conference adults who frown at them now never really
thought these colleges and seminaries were so bad when they
were attending them.
Undoubtedly, there are young people today who get carried
away to the point of thinking that fighting social or political
ills is the central work of the Christian. This is wrong. Yet
this is not worse than the large number of adults who evidence
little involvement in either the societal or spiritual realm.
We should not forget that Christ, according to the gospels,
performed a three-fold ministry on earth: teaching, preaching,
and healing. He was concerned for the total man, yet he put
material things in a perspective which conference TV's and 40
inch waists have never seen, despite their burning concern for
the souls of the lost.
Perhaps our concern for saving souls is a crutch we often
use to avoid the dirty work of societal involvement. But as
long as we use this as a crutch, we are really only concerned
about ourselves, and not others.
Perhaps we also need to re-examine the prevalent "easy
chair" conception of evangelism that seems to dangerously em-phasize
things that don't quite square with accurate biblical
exegesus. And here it is not the younger generation which
has the wrong priority of values.
First, the idea of the "invitation" seems to be right in the
adult's easy chair style: come to church, come to the altar, as
the evangelist begs, cajoles, or even threatens until the audi-
Critics, defenders clash on issue,
In recent years the idea of the
church-related or sectarian college
has come under severe attack, of-ten
from within the ranks of the
Christian community itself. While
there has been much controversy,
the issue remains wide open; the
sectarian college has not been com-pletely
vidicated by its defenders
nor has it been completely devas-tated
by its opponents.
The defenders of the idea claim
that at the intellectual level Chris-tianity
manifests itself in a dis-tinctive,
comprehensive world -
view that effects the interpreta-tion
of all aspects of knowledge.
They claim that the task of the
sectarian college is to develop this
world-view in every facet of the
curriculum and to "integrate faith
and knowledge."
The proponents of the idea also
claim that the Christian college is
the only place where the dedica-ted
student can be exposed to a
Christian interpretation of every
discipline, and where each course
ence responds. Christ taught in the synagogues, but he also
went out to the people to whom the "righteous" would not
lower themselves.
Christ was not the author of the emotional appeal, He did
not try to scare people into heaven, and the Bible does not
tell us about any cases where He used our modern type of
invitation when speaking to the masses. Modern invitations
are too often aimed at numbers, and even more often provide
a welcome chance for Christians to sidestep personal involve-ment.
It seems that Christ was more concerned about corn-mittment
than numbers. We need to follow this wise example
rather than devise "improvements" which ultimately reflect the
foolishness of man.
Those who claim to be so more firmly grounded in God's
Word than are the youth now corning from our colleges and
seminaries are blatantly guilty of ignoring another scriptural
truth each time they present a "persuasive" invitation. This
is simply that man comes to God because of a divinely-given
inclination, not because of the fluent persuasiveness of any
silver tongued evangelist or even on account of the earnest
words of a humble Christian. Unfortunately, it is often the
humble Christian who realizes this, and not the silver tongued
Sometimes the often criticized youth is struck with the
unhappy feeling that if the rich young ruler were to walk into
a modern Conference Baptist church, he would not be turned
away—instead he'd be drinking coffee with the deacons, play-

Some years ago theologian Ber-nard
Ramm wrote in pessimistic
terms of the dilemma of the Chris-tian
college. It cannot be a quality
institution, he said, because aca-demic
quality requires a degree
and kind of freedom that evangel-ical
leaders are unable to permit
on the Christian college campus.
Ramm may be right, but he may
have limited his view to the col-lege
that is mainly concerned to
serve its constituency by conserv-ing
and preserving constituency
youth. A college can choose a wi-der
mission in the world of higher
education and society at large. Such
a mission can include denomina-tional
objectives. Denominational
exclusiveness can hardly include
the other.
The conserving and constituency
focussed emphasis, when it is ov-erwhelming,
places severe limits
on the educational climate because
it requires and produces an insti-tutional
conservatism. Only facul-ty
who seem the least likely ever
to give grounds for questioning
their orthodoxy in belief or beha-vior
can be employed.
Through subtle expressions of
approval and disapproval and more
directly through exhortation, re-minders
of constituency character-istics
and contract conditions, a de-gree
of repression presses on the
faculty. Sectarian and ethnic idi-osyncracies
must be maintained al-most
as fervently as orthodoxy in
belief. Inevitably an exaggerated
importance is placed on external
benchmarks of sectarian Christi-anity.
Administrators, faculty, and stu-dents
enveloped by institutional
conservatism are unlikely to devel-or
or demand a progressive pro-gram.
The screening process for
f a cult y undoubtedly militates
against selection of creative staff.
Conservatism is disrupted by cre-ativity
and the institutional atmos-,
here herefore does not welcome or
induce innovation, experiment, or
new departures.
Of course a constituency and col-is

They also point out that the
Christian college offers an envir-onment
where crucial intellectual
questions can be asked and an-swered
and where mistakes can
be made and tolerated. The Church-affiliated
college is seen as the
place to develop quality Christian
leadership and scholarship.
The critics of the church-related
college, while acknowledging that
a distinctively Christian interpre-tation
of philosophy and theology
is possible, claim that a distinctive
interpretation of history and the
social sciences is, at best, nebulous,
and a distinctive interpretation of
the natural sciences is a myth.
They also claim that developing
a consistent, comprehensive world
view that pervades the entire cur-riculum
is one step from brain-washing,
and the attempt to inte-grate
faith and knowledge often

CAMPUS FORUM Christian community must resist
limits of institutional conservatism
Students accept social obligations
We should indeed be thankful
for the appropriate, honest, and
public expression made by the stu-dents
of Bethel Seminary upon the
tragic murder of a fellow Baptist
minister and American leader, Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is refreshing to know that we
have a group of future leaders who
are sensitive to the great crying
needs of modern society and who
are willing as Christian believers,
to confess before God and man our
sins of omission in extending God's
love and message to all our fellow
Too often we Conference Bap-tists
divorce our social obligations
from our efforts at evangelism. We
are prone to relegate our tasks as
"good Samaritans" to a secondary
role totally apart from soul win-ning.
We forget that "letting our light
so shine before men that they may
see our good works and glorify our
Father in heaven" is "part and par-cel"
of successful soul-winning.
Fof too long most of us have sat
defensively on the sidelines fear-ing
that our Christian committment
might somehow be contaminated or
detoured by involvement in con-crete
social issues.
While we can praise God for the
"front lines" of ministry to the
non-white population that now ex-ist
in the Baptist General Confer-ence,
we ought also to ask His
forgiveness for the smallness of
this effort.
In most cases, we as individuals,
and local churches, have escaped
to the suburbs and abandoned our
efforts in the inner cities where
gospel institutions and outreach
are seemingly harder to sustain.
More important, we have failed to
eradicate the racial prejudice that
exists in our own "Christian"
When a Christian neighbor shows
me his new revolver and announ-ces
"It's my nigger protection";
when the building lots for sale
in my neighborhood are taken off
the market immediately after a
Negro buyer appears; when an-other
neighbor moves and refuses
to sell his residence to a Negro;
and when a Negro in the enjoin-ing
suburb writes in the local
newspaper that he has encoun-tered
discrimination—not in hous-ing
or schools—but in the church-es,
then it's time I get involved
for social justice in my church
and in my neighborhood.
It is time to demonstrate the
absolute relevance and transform-ing
redemptive love of Jesus
Christ, in the cause of social jus-tice
and human relationships just
as Amos did in the Old Testament
The largest number of churches
in Selma, Alabama, the segregation
symbol of the 1960's, are Baptist
in affiliation, fundamental-evangel-ical
in outlook, and conservative
in theology. It is more than like-ly
that the ironic tragedy of Selma
exists not just in Alabama but all
over America and in our own
hearts. May God forgive us.
Dwight Jessup

from page 2
When a Christian faculty in a
Christian community teaches con-scientiously,
the student experience
is different from that in a secular
institution even in the unlikely
event of a lecture being repeated
word for word in the two places.
Communication is more than words.
In practice, any but the most
wooden-headed teacher adapts his
presentation to the characteristics
of his class and to the responses
in the class that he observes and
The fact of the Christian com-munity
immediately induces in the
sensitive teacher adaptations that
range from nuances in delivery to
selections of relevant data or prob-lems.
There may well be dogmatic
pronouncements of Christian truth
when in the instructors judgement
this is pedagogically sound.
But if the dogmatism is a defen-sive
act, it is a retreat to safety,
or if it is uncritical classroom evan-gelism,
it is pointless. The students
who accept it are safely dead in
the faith. The questing students
are repulsed.
A progressive program in Chris-ian
higher education requires ad-ministrative
cooperation and en-couragement
for the freedom of
the Christian scholar and teacher.
Certainly the faculty must be com-mitted
Christians, but excessive de-mands
for conformity in trivial,
technical or external matters vir-tually
eliminates the possibility of
a progressive minded and creative
staff. Progressive programs will
not result where conformity de-manding
administrators have de-veloped
a staff of conservers, how-ever
diligent they are.
Perhaps the conditions required
for a progressive mission in higher
education are not possible. Perhaps
the best we can work for in a
Christian college is the conserving
program that is academically sub-stantial
even as it trades on well
tried modes of curriculum, calen-dar
and pedagogy, and where
Christian truths are dutifully
plugged into the classroom.
Such colleges have an honorable
tradition. But if the second role
is only a dream, Bernard Ramm
is right and the future of Chris-tian
colleges is not exciting. Materialism obscures

ing golf with the minister, soon be elected to the trustee board,
and the church would have a new carpet in the foyer.
And while the church slips another soul into its attendance
charts countless people the world over will continue living, or
more accurately, existing, under discrimination and poverty,
with no one to tell them about what God can do, and hardly
anyone to tell them what American churches are doing.
Perhaps in the masses of today's youth, there are a few
who realize that evangelism must be released from the pulpit.
If so, they may yet prove more valuable tools in the hands
of God than many of their predecessors have.
Maybe many of the adults who critically frown at the
younger generation are vitally concerned with world evangel-ism.
The sad part is that little Johnny somewhere out "there"
will probably never know about it unless some church sends
its bulletin to a young member working in the Peace Corps,
who, unfortunately, is overly concerned with peripheral issues.
Rather than blame young or old, perhaps everyone needs to
turn down the televisions enough so we can hear what God
is saying; maybe if we hear what he's saying, we'll even shut
them off. The handwriting is on the wall; we might even see
that if we move that big platter of turkey far enough. It is
ironical that only a man's heart can be as cold as an overflow-ing
deep freeze and as empty as a warm chimney.
It has been said that the best way to a man's heart is
through his stomach, but the cliche is even more universal
than that. An overdose of pumpkin pie is more likely to make
an American's heart burn than an account of social ills. Small
wonder that youth sometimes revolt in face of these attitudes.

amounts to little more than class-room
Others see "The Christian world-view"
as implicitly stifling creativi-ty
and freedom of inquiry. The
ubiquitous eye of the constituency
and the feared cry of heresy pro-hibit
latitude in instructional tech-niques,
the appearance of "con-troversial"
thinkers on campus, and
the free expression of "controver-sial"
Another significant argument
states that the Christian college
isolates the individual from the
rest of the world. Instead of pre-paring
the student to meet the
"real world," it merely prepares
him to serve in a local church
Others point to the apathy ap-parent
at the sectarian college and
the "cloistered" mentality that it
attracts. They claim that it is not
training the better evangelical
youth. Many have a hard time re-conciling
the expenditure of time
by talented faculty members on
individuals that have no interest
in academic pursuits.
Another factor the critics cite is
the inability of the Christian col-lege
to solicit funds from its lim-ited
constituency. Insufficient
funds are often the reason for the
inability of the Christian college to
measure up to academic standards.
The critics also claim that the
truly dedicated Christian students
and teachers could be more effec-tive
on the university campus in
view of the many problems with
the sectarian college.
Still others point to the fact
that the sectarian college often
becomes a reformatory for the con-stituency's
misfits and a rest home
for the wealthy and that, as a
result, education becomes of sec-ondary
As yet the debate remains unre-solved.
The proponents of the
Christian college have not found
solutions to the many problems,
nor have its critics presented a
consistent and comprehensive al-ternative.

with Albert Lea (56), Pillsbury (40),

the race. Campbell overtook Lea,
and on the anchor lap Dave Pound
kept the ball low to stymie the
Concordia hitters, and become
Bethel's second no-hit pitcher in
the '68 season.
The Royals backed Gross' fine
effort with strong hitting support,
pushing across ten runs on eight
hits. Bethel made economical use
of their hits, bunching them in
three innings for all their runs.
The big inning for the Royals
was the second when they tallied
six times on five hits. Muck and
Sitte collected two hits apiece.
In the second contest, freshman
Lowell Richardson, Bethel's other
no-hit performer, scattered four
hits to beat Concordia 12-2 in a
game curtailed by rain at the end
of six innings.
The Royals started fast, scoring
three in the first and four in the
second, to jump out to a healthy
lead after the initial two innings.
A five run burst in the fifth put
the game on ice for the Bethel
The big blow for Bethel was
catcher Bill Englund's grand slam
home run in the second inning.
Englund cracked out two other
hits, while Richardson helped his
own cause with two base raps.
blazed away, leaving Lea 20 yards
behind at the finish.
Bethel scored heavily in all field
events. In the long jump, Tom
Rykert cleared 21' 3 3/4" (on his
final leap) to edge Tyrone Johnson
of Lea. Dave Pearson, Bob Olsen,
and Bill Malyon took third, fourth
and fifth for Bethel.
In the triple jump, Johnson
edged Malyon and Pearson with
his 40'8" effort. Pearson, however,
tied for first in the high jump
with Dobberstein of Concordia at
5' 10", and Fred Swedberg won
both the javelin, with a throw of
174 feet, and the shot put, with
42'2 1/4".
Jim Carlson and Malyon finished
third and fourth in the javelin, and
Swedberg was second in the dis-cus.
Wayne Carpenter and Jerry
Jenfa took second and fourth in
the pole vault.
Overall, it was the most impres-sive
showing of the campaign for
the track team. While the compe-tition
was not stiff, the Bethel
performers turned in excellent
marks. It was the last competitive
meet of the year, and most of the
squad will return next season.

That's Guillaume, a charming Frenchman who helped my daughter choose her Goyard, with a great deal of patience and understanding. It really is an experience, or else I wouldn't be writing about it. Goyard beat Louis Vuitton by one year, when it opened the store in 1853. Today, its custom made trunks are ordered by the likes of Karl Lagerfeld, who is one of Goyard's biggest customers. But it needed the vulgarity of a Paris Hilton, to get the right royal snub from Goyard when she had the temerity to ask for a discount, because she is Paris Hilton!! She was politely informed that Goyard does not offer discounts to anyone, not even Karl, who, in any case, never asks, even though his bills run into a million euros annually. Yes, just on Goyard trunks! While we were at the store, we watched Chinese and Japanese customers walking off with top of the line bags, without batting an eyelid while settling the bill. And the trunk Guillaume is posing with belonged to none other than Coco Chanel herself ( it has madmoiselle's initials inscribed). No wonder Guillaume's eyes are sparkling!

Let's put our weight behind Ash….
Any woman who has gone through pregnancy and become a mother, will understand this perfectly: Having a baby is a life transforming experience that beats all other experiences put together. Unfortunately, it is also a shape-transforming experience. That is how nature intended it. When a woman decides to have a baby, she accepts the entire package – additional kilos included. Some women, like Victoria Beckham pop out their beautiful babies without the slightest alteration to their sleek silhouettes – lucky them. Others, take time and allow their bodies to shrink at a slower pace… without obsessing over the extra weight. They make the baby their top priority, nurse the infant, enjoy that marvelous, tender time together, without giving a damn about a double chin, or a few tyres around the waist. Those melt away later, once the new mother resumes her normal routine and starts a simple regimen to keep the newly acquired fat deposits at bay. It is generally a highly narcissistic new mum who chooses to make her own weight a priority above everything else – the baby's well being included. Clearly, Aishwarya Rai is not that woman. And can we please get off her back and let her enjoy her little one without giving her grief each time she steps out of her home? Frankly, the spiteful and hostile comments to Aishwarya's post-baby appearance have been so exaggerated one wonders why. Is it because our own idyll of perennial perfection and startling beauty has been somehow shattered? After all, Aishwarya is consistently referred to as 'the most beautiful woman in the world'. There have been enough green-with-envy rivals who have spent sleepless nights trying to topple her from that throne. Ash was the lucky actress who had it all… including a fairytale marriage to a really sweet guy. Then came the baby news. All this was a bit too much for some to handle. Competitors had waited long years to find that chink in her Ash's armour… something they could swoop down on. And they found it in – of all places – her weight!
It is like a vicious , orchestrated campaign against a woman who generates a huge amount of jealousy just for looking the way she does. It gives plain looking ladies a vicarious thrill to see Ash in a less than flattering light right now. Her more enlightened sponsors are standing by her, though, insists her spokesperson. And they respect her right to enjoy motherhood minus pressure to fit into a single digit size gown. There's more to life than that red carpet appearance… yes, even at
Happy Mother's Day!

The word vivisection was first coined in the 1800s to denote the experimental dissection of live animals - or humans. It was created by activists who opposed the practice of experimenting on animals. The Roman physician Celsus claimed that in Alexandria in the 3rd century BCE physicians had performed vivisections on sentenced criminals, but vivisection on humans was generally outlawed. Experimenters frequently used living animals. Most early modern researchers considered this practice acceptable, believing that animals felt no pain. Even those who opposed vivisection in the early modern period did not usually do so out of consideration for the animals, but because they thought that this practice would coarsen the experimenter, or because they were concerned that animals stressed under experimental conditions did not represent the normal state of the body.
Prompted by the rise of experimental physiology and the increasing use of animals, an anti-vivisection movement started in the 1860s. Its driving force, the British journalist Frances Power Cobbe (1822-1904), founded the British Victoria Street Society in 1875, which gave rise to the British government's Cruelty to Animals Act of 1876. This law regulated the use of live animals for experimental purposes.
