Adam Cole '98 grew up near Vevay, Indiana and enjoys small town life. In fact, it's part of what drew him to Wabash College.
"I wanted to go far enough from home to get the experience of being away yet I didn't want to live in Indianapolis," Cole said. "I thought Crawfordsville was more of a fit for me."
Cole also felt similarities between the College and small towns. In a large city it is easy to maintain anonymity. "You can get by without going to the blood drive, but the Wabash community is just like a small town – you have to pull your weight there. When you're there you are involved in things or you are not really a member," Cole said. "I think having to be involved made it what it was."
After graduating with a degree in psychology, Cole lived in Lafayette, Indiana, and Louisville, Kentucky, where he learned the art of portrait photography and started his own wedding photography business, Three Spot Images.
Adam, his wife Amanda, and their two daughters have recently returned to seven acres in the country near Vevay where he is expanding his business to include more portrait photography. "I hear from a lot of people, 'why did you move back here?' They don't really see the benefit because we moved from an area that has 1.5 million people to an area that has 1,500 people in town."
"I really loved living in Louisville, but there wasn't that sense of community that I grew up with. I wanted to come back here and bring this business back. I want to see more educated people and more businesses move back into the area. I'd like to see it be revitalized. I feel a sense of duty to come back and help things along."
"With the prices of fuel and things like that going up, we're going to have to start to see a reliance on things in our own areas because it's going to be scary in another five years. There needs to be a realignment. Things that once were are going to have to come back. We are going to have to look to our small towns again."

Despite getting five points from senior Jared Kane and four from senior T.J. Gatdoar in the first quarter, Mission Bay still trailed by a score of 14-11.
The Buccaneers got four more points from Kane in the second quarter and outscored the Centurions 8-4 to take a 19-18 lead heading into the locker room at halftime.
After the intermission, UC juniors Riley Dickard, Quinn Skillin, Brendan Smith and Michael Sohikish scored two, three, four and seven points, respectively, in the third quarter, as the Centurions went on a 16-7 run to create a 34-26 cushion.
That's when junior Isaiah Milan went to work, outscoring the entire UC squad 9-0 all by himself and giving Mission Bay a slim 35-34 lead at the end of the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Kane converted five more baskets (including two free throws and a three-pointer) and junior Andre Petties-Wilson added four points of his own for the Bucs, but it wasn't quite enough as the Centurions got six points apiece from Skillin and Sohikish and five from senior Devante Pritchett in the fourth period to seal the victory.
The Buccaneers were led by the play of Kane who finished with a game-high 19 points and was joined in the Mission Bay statistical column by Milan (13 points, seven rebounds), Gatdoar (six points, seven rebounds), Petties-Wilson (four points, six rebounds), junior Lamarriel Taylor (six points) and senior Sebastian Hassan (six rebounds).
In another Western League contest, the Buccaneers got a big 37-33 win over the Scripps Ranch Falcons at Mission Bay on Jan. 11.
Kane finished with a team-high
13 points for the Buccaneers, while Milan contributed seven rebounds and two assists to Mission Bay's winning effort.
In a non-league ballgame, the Buccaneers got yet another big win, this time by a score of 59-38 over the Mount Miguel Matadors at Mission Bay on
Jan. 12.
Petties-Wilson led the Buccaneers with a game-best 14 points and was followed in the Mission Bay scoring column by Kane (13 points), Milan (12 points) and Gatdoar (18 rebounds).
With last week's victories, the Buccaneers saw their record improve to 6-4 overall and 1-1 in Western League play on the young season.

Ryan Fier scored twice, including an empty-net goal in the closing seconds of Wednesday night's North Coast Athletic Conference soccer match to give Wabash a 2-0 victory at Wittenberg.
The victory snapped a six-match losing streak for the Little Giants, and was the first win by Wabash (7-10-0, 1-6-0 NCAC) in Springfield, Ohio since a 1-0 double overtime victory in 2004. The win also ended a five-game winning streak by the Tigers over Wabash.
Fier (right) scored his third goal of the season in the 54th minute, working behind the defense before eventually beating goalkeeper Michael Lambeck to put Wabash up 1-0. The sophomore's second goal came with less than a minute remaining in the match when Wittenberg (5-10-3, 2-5-1 NCAC) had pulled Lambeck forward on the attack. Fier broke free and scored the empty netter to give the Little Giants the victory.
"This is long overdue, but also very well deserved," Head Coach Roberto Giannini said. "We played 90 minutes of soccer tonight against a well-organized Wittenberg team that hasn't scored a lot of goals this season, but hasn't conceded much scoring to the opposing team either. We played the whole game with a lot of heart.
"The most engaging thing is the 90 minutes of effort tonight by our team. They didn't want to leave Springfield with a tie or a loss. They wanted to win for the seniors, for the team to prove we area team that has just had a few bad breaks here and there."
Matt Paul recorded three saves in his second start of the season. Lambeck faced 12 total shots from Wabash, making 10 saves. Fier took five shots on goal, while Allan Swan and Diego Aliaga each fired two shots on net in the contest.
"It's a great win for the morale of the team, obviously, to propel us into our final match of the season Saturday," Giannini said. "I'm very proud of the effort and how badly this team wanted to win tonight."
Wabash will close out the 2010 season at home Saturday at noon against the College of Wooster. Little Giant seniors Aliaga, Mark Babcock, and Andre Hall will be honored prior to the start of the match.

Family and friends on Monday fondly remembered Air Force Capt. Victoria "Tory" Pinckney, a new mother from Palmdale who was killed along with two airmen when their military refueling plane crashed in Kyrgyzstan on Friday.
"She was very much a family person," said Pinckney's paternal grandfather, retired Air Force Lt. Don Castro of Covina.
Castro, 85, said he last saw Pinckney and her now seven-month old baby, Gabriel, during a family reunion in February.
"Whenever we saw her baby, he was always bouncing," Castro said. "He's as cute as a little boy can ever be, with a sweet and happy disposition like his mother."
Palmdale sheriff's Deputy Brianne Furman, 27, was a friend and classmate of Pinckney's. They both graduated from Palmdale High School in 2003 and kept in touch via Facebook.
"The last couple of months, everything that she's talked about in social media has been her baby boy," Furman said of Pinckney. "Her whole Facebook page is just covered with baby pictures."
"She was so family-oriented, and yet so driven with the Air Force," Furman added, sobbing. "I know that was what she loved to do, but that doesn't make (her death) any easier."
Pinckney and other airmen involved in the crash, 27-year-old Capt. Mark Tyler Voss of Texas and 30-year-old Technical Sgt. Herman "Tre" Mackey II of Bakersfield, were all stationed at Fairchild Air Force Base in Washington.
Nicole Aguilera, 32, said she and Pinckney both volunteered for Street Wise, a nonprofit attached to the First Covenant Church in Spokane that feeds from 150 to 250 homeless people every Sunday.
Aguilera said Pinckney – even when she was pregnant and just a few months away from giving birth – came in a few times with fellow members of the 92nd Refueling Wing to prepare meat, cut vegetables and serve tables.
"To give her time to the homeless for five hours on Sunday, when most people are relaxing, and do it while she was pregnant, that spoke volumes about her character and her integrity," Aguilera said. "We would tell her, 'Take a seat, take a break, you're pregnant,' but she was more than willing to do the work."
Aguilera said she didn't even realize at first that Pinckney was one of the pilots, assuming instead that she was one of the pilots' wives. "She just had a really humble spirit, and a sweetness about her."
But Furman said Pinckney had always been an overachiever.
"She was super smart," Furman said. "Whatever she put her mind to, she achieved it. She always wanted to be the best of the best but she was still kind to everybody, always smiling, always a happy person, who could cheer anybody up."
Furman said Pinckney went into the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs immediately after graduating from high school.
A profile of Pinckney posted on Fairchild Air Force Base's Facebook page said she majored in Systems Engineering Space Systems and had a master's degree in psychology.
She was also on a rugby team, and had a black belt and red stripe in karate. Other hobbies included scrapbooking and baking goodies that she shared with friends and neighbors.
Castro said Pinckney had wanted to join the Air Force since she was very young.
He himself served in the Air Force for 34 years. When asked whether his granddaughter was following in his footsteps, Castro replied, "I'd like to think so."
Castro said Pinckney met her husband, Richard, at the Air Force Academy. Both graduated in the same class and were stationed at Fairchild.
"When one was deployed, the other stayed behind (to care for the baby)," Castro said.
Supervisor Michael Antonovich, whose district includes Palmdale, plans to adjourn the next meeting of the county Board of Supervisors in Pinckney's memory.
"The adjournment is to remember the sacrifice of those who lost their lives in service to our country, and to honor the families they leave behind," he said.
On Fairchild Air Force Base's Facebook page, Pinckney's profile, which had a photograph of her smiling while holding her son, drew comments such as, "Brings tears to my eyes," "You are a hero and an angel," and "RIP, my brothers and sister – we'll take watch from here."
Pinckney was copilot of the KC-135 refueling plane that crashed Friday, about 100 miles from the air base that the U.S. operates in Kyrgyzstan to support military operations in Afghanistan. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
A memorial service is planned for the airmen, but date, time and location have yet to be set.

New Jersey Spent Nearly $100 Million on Sandy Contracts
The New Jersey agency charged with overseeing the state's recovery from superstorm Sandy has spent nearly $100 million in federal funds on contractors, including millions of dollars for a firm later fired by the state for poor performance, a report released Wednesday showed.
The state has spent $91.7 million through the end of June on eight contractors tasked with helping homeowners to rebuild from the 2012 storm. That amount is likely to grow, as some of the companies have billed for a third or less of their contract values.
The amount paid to contractors is a fraction of the more than $4 billion in disaster relief set aside by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for New Jersey to help homeowners and renters affected by the storm.

Long before the subprime mortgage-backed securities hit the fan, a handful of relatively small investment banking firms, often referred to as boutiques, regularly competed with the likes of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley for talent. There was Stephen Schwarzman's Blackstone Group, perhaps best known for its private equity offerings, although for decades its advisory unit has been well known for winning big deals and recruiting top-tier talent from top-tier schools. There was Lazard, now larger than boutique size, employing nearly 2,500 people, and a public firm at that, but not long ago Lazard was a small, private shop known for its blue-blooded employees, blue-chip client list, and huge M&A deals. And there was Greenhill, the self-described "unique" investment bank, founded in the middle of the '90s by former big swinging bankers from Smith Barney and Morgan Stanley; Greenhill, like Lazard, also went public, but unlike Lazard it's remained relatively small and boutique-y, employing just over 300 bankers, who work on deals just as large as the giant, full-service investment banks of Wall Street.
As for those giants (Goldman, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, Credit Suisse, etc., which, unlike boutiques, underwrite securities and provide loans in addition to advising clients on M&A deals and other transactions), they had quite a PR disaster in 2007 and 2008, a disaster they're still feeling to this day (thanks in part to not only crisis-related transgressions but post-crisis-related transgressions as well; here's the latest big-bank dirty deed). And along with public disdain, these firms have had to deal with job-candidate aversion. That is, after losing prestige in the wake of their reputations becoming tarnished, the giants of Wall Street have had to deal with the fact that smaller investment banking firms—which have stayed out of scandalous headlines and stayed out of layoff headlines, while winning business away from the giants—have become even more attractive employment options to would-be Wall Streeters. And along with the likes of Blackstone, Lazard, and Greenhill, now there are other boutiques in the mix such as Centerview Partners, Perella Weinberg Partners, and Moelis & Co., all of which are inching closer to their 10-year anniversaries (Centerview and PWP were founded in 2006; Moelis was founded in 2007). In the meantime, the boutiques new and old continue to steal away more of America's brightest financial minds (or, at least, more of America's most financially-minded) from the giants of the Street.
In fact, today, for a financial-market-interested graduate from a so-called Wall Street target school (the Ivies, Duke, NYU, UVA, Michigan, Northwestern, Chicago, etc.), it's no longer an easy decision between an offer from Goldman and an offer from, say, Centerview. The reason for this is while Goldman's name might still carry unmatched prestige among global investment banks (and has a name and reputation known throughout nearly every corner of the world), Centerview has been making a ton of noise in the M&A market and among the top dealmakers on the Street as of late, and a job with Centerview could possibly mean an overall better experience than one at a leading bulge bracket bank.
Consider these pluses: (1) more experience on high profile deals (Centerview typically has its hands in some of the largest deals in M&A; it's currently advising Time Warner on its proposed $70 billion merger with Comcast); (2) more interaction with senior bankers and clients (smaller firm = smaller deal teams = equals more responsibility; and smaller firm also usually = better mentoring options); (3) higher compensation (Centerview is well known as being the best paying bank on the Street, and, typically, boutiques pay better than the giants); and (4) faster promotions and help in finding strong exit opportunities (Centerview, and a few other boutiques, encourage young analysts to stay on with the firm rather than put in their two years and head to a hedge fund or PE firm or other buy-side institution; and even the boutiques that do have so-called two-and-out programs often will help place their analysts with hedge funds and PE firms, which is not common practice at bulge bracket firms).
However, there is one aspect of working at a boutique that isn't much different than working at a bulge bracket bank: the hours. Indeed, nearly across the board, Wall Street giants, Wall Street boutiques, and Wall Street mid-market banks work their young talent hard. So hard that recently one boutique (Perella Weinberg) followed Goldman's lead and is now protecting a weekend day for analysts (a protected day is one on which analysts are not allowed to work) in hopes of lightening the heavy workload. Although it's unclear if this initiative will prove to be effective (some senior bankers have expressed their disapproval of the arrangement), what is clear is that larger no longer automatically means better on the street called Wall.
In any case, for all the latest inside information on the giants of Wall Street, the boutiques, and mid-market firms, check back here on September 3, when we'll be releasing the new Vault Banking 50 (last year, Blackstone ranked #1, while Centerview, Greenhill, and Perella Weinberg ranked #7, #8, and #9, respectively), the new Banking Prestige Rankings (last year, Goldman ranked #1, Greenhill rose one place to #9, Moelis rose three spots to #13, Perella Weinberg rose one spot to #12, and Centerview rose 10 places to #16), and all the results of our 2014 Banking Survey, in which we asked thousands of investment banking professionals to tell us about life at their firms.

DIGITAL, STREAMING AND THE INTERNET: They've all contributed to a resurrection of music listening. With so much audio at your fingertips, it's natural that you'll want to spend more time surrounded by your favorite tunes. This can happen through earbuds, streamed through the speakers of your home theater setup or played right from your computer. And the more time you spend listening, the more you'll come to appreciate the subtle nuances of audio reproduction. You'll start to savor the instrumentation of a particular classic and begin to understand the lyrics of a hip-hop tune you just discovered. What you'll also likely discover is that nothing beats a two-channel audio system for producing the purest, clearest playback of any type of entertainment setup.
The Environment
We've been taught that for the best viewing experience, a dedicated theater should be dark, isolated from the rest of the house and be of a certain shape and size. The rules are a much looser for listening rooms, says Craig Abplanalp, vice president of Definitive Audio, a custom A/V design and installation firm in Seattle and Bellevue, Wash. Sure, hardcore audiophiles might want to sequester their equipment in a room that's been professionally engineered with acoustical treatments and accoutered with finely calibrated components, but this intense level of design really isn't necessary to have a great listening environment, adds custom electronics (CE) professional Andres Sauceda of Hanson Audio Video in Kettering, Ohio. In fact, rooms you already use for other purposes, like the family room or den, can function admirably as a listening space. It just depends on your expectations, your budget and how you like to listen.
"If [serious music listening] is something you plan on doing frequently, or if you want to be by yourself and play the music loudly and feel as if you're sitting in the front row of Carnegie Hall, you may want to dedicate a room solely for music listening, Sauceda says. "On the other hand, if you like to share your music with others, you'll probably get more enjoyment from a two-channel audio system that's been incorporated into the family room." Adds Abplanalp: "While the room environment will definitely have some impact on the sound from an audio system, normally appointed living spaces, which usually have a mix of hard and soft materials, won't have an ill-effect on the music. It's only if the room is covered in glass and marble that you'll have a hard time getting the audio system to cooperate." But even this isn't impossible, given the sophisticated calibration technologies being built into many audio products today, as well as a wide variety of attractive acoustical wall and ceiling treatments that can be added to a room for improved sonic performance. For example, many receivers come with a microphone and graphing software intended to help you find the appropriate placement for the left and right speakers. Often, this software is designed for use by do-it-yourselfers. To get the room perfectly tuned, though, it's best to bring in a professional. A custom electronics (CE) professional comes armed with an arsenal of devices to calculate not only the proper speaker placement, but where to install acoustical treatments and how to set up the receiver to compensate for a room's sonic imperfections.
Really, though, audio performance all boils down to the equipment, and according to both Abplanalp and Sauceda, you can get incredible sound without having to spend a whole lot. And because stereo components have great resale value, you can start with a modest investment of $500 for a pair of speakers, sell them a few years down the road for almost as much as you spent on them originally, and invest in a pair of more expensive, higher-performance speakers. The same goes for the two-channel stereo receiver, the preamp and the amps you'll also need for your system.
Unlike video technologies that seemingly become outdated overnight, audio components are blessed with long life expectancies. "A home theater receiver has a shelf life of about nine months; for a stereo receiver it's seven years," says Sauceda. This means that you don't have to worry about the equipment you invest in today becoming obsolete quickly. If it sounds good today, it will sound good years from now. However, once you get hooked, it's hard not to want to update, says Douglas Acker, whose been building out his two-channel audio system for seven years (see his listening room after the break).
System #1: Audiophile Approved
Douglas Acker set up is first stereo system with the help of his dad when he was 14. Although he's still just as passionate about music, he's become much more sophisticated in the way he listens to music and demanding of the systems that he uses to play it. He credits his maturation in part to his wife, a concert pianist who "expects nothing more than acoustic greatness" from a home stereo system.
To satisfy their audiophile ears, Acker spent hours auditioning various speaker and amplifier combinations at the showroom of Hanson Audio Video in nearby Kettering, Ohio. "I would spend three to four hours at a time just listening," says Acker. "I listened to bookshelf and floor standing speakers, and everything in between, with different amps, preamps and sources." He ultimately decided on Dynaudio Confidence C2 speakers, along with Bryston amps, preamps and CD player, and a turntable from Pro-Ject. In addition to being the most pleasing combination to his ear, Acker felt the design of the speakers would fit nicely with the decor of his living room, deemed by Hanson Audio Video as the best area for music listening due to its size and acoustical characteristics. "They stand out just enough to look interesting, but don't make us look as if we're high-tech geeks," says Acker.
System #2: Aspirational Audio
Because this space is used mainly for two-channel music listening, the owners had no qualms about planting two 6-foot-tall speakers in the room. Manufactured by Wilson Audio, these top-of-the-line Alexandria speakers mirror the seriousness of this listening space—as does their $135,000 per pair retail price. Says Craig Abplanalp of Definitive Audio in Seattle and Bellevue, Wash.: "Although there's a flat-panel TV in the area, the owners spend the bulk of their time playing the stereo system," which also includes a Linn Unidisk 1.1 disc player, a Linn Kistro A/V preamp, Halcro DM68 mono amps, and an SME 30/2 turntable, all connected with high-end Transparent Cable.
Purpose-built for high-performance audio, this room above a detached garage was acoustically treated with fabric panels on the ceiling, which enhances the clarity of music and intelligibility of the dialogue in movies, and is so well-designed it appears as a standard painted ceiling.
System #3: Socializing in Stereo
Yes, it's perfectly fine to have a TV in your listening room. It won't impact the performance of your audio gear. In fact, it might make the space feel more inviting and social. That's what the owners of this space were thinking when they contacted Definitive Audio, with stores in Seattle and Bellevue, Wash., to set up a two-channel audio system in their multipurpose family room. For both casual and critical listening, the homeowners chose a solid yet economical soup-to-nuts system from Linn, comprised of a Majik DSM Network Music Player and two floor standing speakers, which totalled $7,500.
The Majik DSM provides a slew of listening choices. The owners can access downloaded music, ripped CDs and Internet radio streams. And with a mobile device, they can categorize their tunes into playlists.

Gary Tagg needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 94 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
Alberta Mortgage Experts (possibly with .com)
We are a mortgage brokerage in Alberta, Canada the specializes in residential mortgages. We operate a storefront operation but do much of our business online and over the phone. So the logo would also be used on our website. We have over 10 years of experience and want to have our offices and internet presence look more professional and upbeat. Maybe a bit like a bank but more customer service oriented. We want our clients to walk in the front office and know they have come to the right place.
25-55 year old people with a variety of backgrounds. Some will have credit issues, some will be self employed but most will have good jobs, good credit but have been going to their bank for their mortgage needs. In Canada, about 65% of the people still go to their local bank branch for their mortgages, and don't know exactly what mortgage brokers can do for them. We offer more competitive rates, more options and better customer service.
We want a very readable, at a glance, design. Professional but not stodgy. Something that people will remember when they leave and create a feeling of confidence in us as a company.
No set color scheme although in the past we have used a Bank of Montreal blue as our main color. We have thought of using a rich gold or a deep brown as it would stand out on our wall which is a deeper forest green. We have sometimes used the tag line of "First Class, personalized service for every client" Maybe that could be worked in as well into the overall design.

Ray7012 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 22 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
Eat Stay Drink
We operate a few different websites which speak to the popular culture of 18-34 years old. We have writers who are young, funny, and cutting edge providing different types of news to the younger audience.
This particular website, EatStayDrink.com, will review the hottest and newest restaurants, hotels and nightclubs from around the world, but mainly the US.
18-34 years old. Our audience loves watching movies/tv, going out to nice restaurants and nightclubs, traveling and using an iphone. They love to party and have a great time! They live in the age of being tech-savvy, always text message, and always want to be at the cool places.
The colors have not been picked for the theme of the site so it is completely up to the designer to pick a nice base of 3 different colors. We would like the logo to be able to be presents both horizontally written (Eat Stay Drink) and also to be easily put in a box to be used as an avatar on other websites.
The logo should have a 3-D feel to it so it can pop!
Attached, you will see a logo from a popular book Eat Pray Love. This artist was very creative in choosing some textures and products which play perfectly with the words. For your reference if you would like to take this route, for Eat Stay Drink....Eat = Restaurants, Stay = Hotels, and Drink = Nightclubs/Bars
At the end of the contest, we will require the winning designer to provide the following files in the handover phase:
1. unlocked vector file
2. unlocked .eps file
3. unlocked .ai file
4. large .jpeg file
5. Font names and file location(s)
Once we choose the winner, there will be additional work which will be offered to the designer based around the brand. We would love to continue working with the same designer.

Claire Danes has been tapped to host the 20th anniversary Nobel Peace Prize concert in December.
The Emmy-winning "Homeland" actress will host the Dec. 11 event in Oslo, Norway.
The concert will celebrate the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which was awarded the prestigious honor earlier this month.
The watchdog agency works to eliminate the world's chemical weapons and received the prize days after OPCW inspectors started arriving in war-torn Syria to oversee the dismantling of President Bashar Assad's chemical arsenal.
The Nobel Peace Prize concert typically attracts top celebrities. Past luminaries have included Paul McCartney, Rihanna, and Tony Bennett. The lineup for this year's concert has yet to be announced.

In Sickness and In Health
A film by
Pilar Prassas
, Edited by
Peter Heacock
2007, 56 minutes, Color, DVD
Order No. W09952
A deeply affecting film by newcomer Pilar Prassas and edited by Peter Heacock,
In Sickness and In Health
cuts through abstract ideologies, politics, and legalities to the human heart of the same-sex marriage debate in this amazing story of love, hope, and courage.
In 2002, filmmaker Pilar Prassas began following seven couples in their effort to legalize same-sex marriage in the state of New Jersey. Two years into filming, however, plaintiff Marilyn Maneely, mother of five, was diagnosed with the incurable, terminal disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig�s Disease. On the day Marilyn passed away, her life partner of 14 years, Diane Marini, was not even allowed to sign her death certificate.
In traditional marriage vows, ��til death do us part� is the phrase that follows �in sickness and in health,� but to many gay and lesbian Americans, saying these words and enjoying their subsequent rights is not an option. With a tender touch, Prassas delicately balances tragedy and triumph in this film about the civil rights issue of our time�the fight to marry, and care for, the ones we love, in sickness and in health.

Deepak Khurana needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 87 designs submitted by 31 freelance designers.
We are a small chain of fine jewellers catering to the top & mid end of the market in Australia. We are keen to create an online presence for lower to mid priced fine jewellery in Diamonds, Gold, Silver, Pearls, Watches etc. The website we want to create will be fully transactional. Rather than taking a cheap discount way, we are aiming at being more of a lifestyle brand. We may eventually offer ladies leather handbags and other related items, hence the focus of the website will be more on Fashion & Lifestyle rather than on Cheap & Discount. We will market the website as the premier destination site for young & fashionable people. The Jewellery on the web site will be at lower price points but will not be of a lower quality. All products will be of a premium quality. For example, the Silver Jewellery will be made in Italy and be of the finest quality and not the cheaper light weight variety that comes from Thailand or China. The Brand is a Premium brand and not a cheap & nasty discount one.
While not exclusively, the target audience really is the girl in the country or small town who saw the award show in Hollywood and liked the earrings her favourite celebrity was wearing. No bricks & mortar store would be offering anything like that in her little town so she goes online, comes across an odd name and investigates the designs. She can then place an order and be wearing earrings, similar to the ones she saw on the telly, before the week is over! Realistically, we would like to showcase items upto $2000 but the majority of the items that will sell online will range form $20 to $500. The items that we will be offering online will be entirely different to the items we offer in store and will be more fashion forward in all categories rather than being the conservative stock that is stocked in the stores. The age demographics will be from 18 up to 40.
A logo that represents ZIFF.com.au aspirations to be a part of a fashion forward, young and free spirited culture. The 'Z' of the ZIFF will be made into a hallmark (we will do that) that will be stamped on everything that we sell and as a Brand extension. We are keen to create watch designs with the 'Z' on the dial. Essentially, the 'Z' has to be completely interchangable with the name ZIFF. While aiming at the younger more fashion forward crowd, we still want the brand to be a Premium brand. The colours will have to represent this. We are after all still selling fine quality jewellery albeit at online prices. The logo really has to emphasise that.

A winner was selected from 132 designs submitted by 49 freelance designers.
I'm launching version 2.0 of my orginal site, Ecouragement.com, this time as a social networking site. Thanks in advance and best regards to the designers!
I'm looking for a new, clean logo. The new site will have the same kind of uplifting and encouraging environment but be more interactive than the current magazine-ish format
- Logo should include the site name, ecouragment.com
- the word 'ecouragement' is a trade mark and should have the symbol placed above and to the right of the 't'
- the background color this logo will rest on will be some version of sky blue
Nothing too juvenile or feminine....middle of the road type of style that appeals to both adult sexes.

text: LightSquared Files Bankruptcy May 15, 2012 07:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By AgWeb.com Editors Email Reston, Virginia based wireless communications company LightSquared filed bankruptcy yesterday claiming $4.48 billion in assets and $2.29 billion in debts as of February 29. The bankruptcy does not mean that the company doesn't plan to continue developing a plan that would give high-speed wireless to thousands who currently live in areas that don't have access to broadband. In fact, Marc Montager, Chief Financial Officer of LightSquared said yesterday that the bankruptcy was meant to allow the company to continue research and development and to go through the regulatory process with more "breathing room." Read the story below to learn more about why several commodity groups are opposed to LightSquared's technology. Concerns are over disrupting high-precision GPS technologies By Ben Potter A baker's dozen of commodity groups sent a unified response to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) calling to remove the January 2011 conditional waiver granted to LightSquared by the FCC's International Bureau. They want to modify LightSquared's current satellite license so that it cannot build a ground-based wireless network, which could disrupt current GPS systems and their many uses. The letter states: "We urge the FCC to do so because of the overwhelming evidence that LightSquared's proposed ground-based network would cause severe interference to virtually all uses of GPS. High-precision GPS technology is vitally important to American agriculture, and would be gravely harmed by LightSquared's plans." The letter cites a recent economic study that concluded that precision GPS technology has increased farm revenue by approximately $20 billion per year. The National Public Safety Telecommunications Council (NPSTC) also recently filed comments with the FCC. According to the NPSTC, potential disruption moves far beyond farm fields: "GPS is used for wireless 911 location, support of dispatch operations, mapping/response directions to responders, and synchronization of simulcast communications systems across the country. The nation cannot afford to risk interference that could debilitate the reception and/or accuracy of GPS signals used for public safety operations." These commodity groups conclude that they still strongly support an expansion of broadband access in rural America. But, they add, this expansion shouldn't come at the expense of lowering access to high-precision GPS. The groups who submitted the letter include the American Farm Bureau Federation, American Soybean Association, American Sugar Cane League, Association of Equipment Manufacturers, National Association of Wheat Growers, National Barley Growers Association, National Corn Growers Association, National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, National Potato Council, National Sunflower Association, US Canola Association, USA Dry Pea & Lentil Council and USA Rice Federation.

DuPont Pioneer Helps Growers Use 2013 Data to Plan for Better 2014 Crop
Pioneer® Field360™ services target improved productivity field by field, acre by acre
DES MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 11, 2013 - DuPont Pioneer offers two unique field-analysis tools that help growers conduct deep dives on yield results - regardless of the brand of seed planted. Available through Pioneer® Field360™ services, these data tools - called treatment analysis and post-harvest calibration - provide an unbiased view of hybrid performance across a field.
"Growers taking advantage of these tools can sit down with their Pioneer sales professionals at the end of the year and review their operations," says Nathan Paul, DuPont Pioneer services application manager. "This offers a lot of information beyond simply average yield. Our sales reps and agronomists can help growers analyze yields based on different field environments."
The treatment-analysis tool connects yield results to soil maps, fertility maps and as-planted maps, providing a report card on hybrid performance by unique environment. With this information, a grower can focus on his hybrid selections for next year. DuPont Pioneer is the only seed company currently offering treatment analysis to growers.
"The background data for these tools comes directly from the grower," says Paul. "A key learning from yield data is that hybrid placement directly correlates to yield results. The analysis can clearly tell the story of why one hybrid performed better in one area of the field versus another."
The post-harvest calibration tool uses a grower's scale tickets to confirm yield information and to develop a better overall picture of product performance. The calibration takes into account several variables. For example, one variable looks at yield results from a field harvested earlier in the season versus later in the season when air temperatures and weather changes may skew yield numbers. The grower can save the work with their sales professional to the information from each scale ticket, field by field, in the Pioneer Field360 Select software to get the most accurate view of yield performance.
"Growers need to calibrate yield monitors frequently to collect accurate yield results, but some may be reluctant to pause long enough to complete the process during harvest," Paul says. "Post-harvest calibration ensures that the grower is recording actual yields and not depending 100 percent on a combine yield monitor that might be inaccurate."
With Pioneer Field360 services growers can work with their Pioneer reps to enter information about what was planted and how, including hybrids and varieties, soil nutrients, soil types, chemical applications and other management practices. Growers can then use data from their yield monitors to understand how inputs and practices affect yields.
"Pioneer Field360 services give growers options when it comes to managing fields," Paul says. "We give them tools they can use year round to understand how products and agronomy practices are performing."
Suppose a grower plants a hybrid test plot and happens to select a field area with poor, wet soils. Twenty-five hybrids of similar maturity from different companies are planted, and at harvest the grower finds significant variation in yield. A closer look reveals a pattern showing hybrids on the plot's west side showed poorer yields overall, due to wet soil compared to hybrids planted on the east with better growing conditions. With data managed via Pioneer Field360 Select software, a grower gets a more accurate picture of yield performance.
"The takeaway is the plot in the example was not necessarily a demonstration of the true yield leaders for all varieties in the plot," Paul says. "The example plot data more accurately revealed those hybrids that perform in challenging soil conditions versus those that should be placed elsewhere next year."
Pioneer Field360 services allow growers to understand what's happening within a field and thereby make management changes to improve productivity. These tools can help develop a variable-rate seeding plan by pushing plant populations in areas with higher yield potential and/or cutting back on seeding rates in areas with lower yield potential.
Another key benefit of Pioneer Field360 services is that the tools are available via mobile. The Pioneer Field360 Notes app allows growers to organize field-by-field agronomic information and communicate with Pioneer sales professionals, account managers and agronomists. For instance, a grower can note an observed pest or disease threat and use GPS to identify the precise location in the field. This can help target next year's pesticide and/or fungicide applications. In short, the Pioneer Field360 Notes app puts information at a grower's fingertips.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 vs. LG Intuition: Features, Specs Comparison in the 'Phablet' War (Video)
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is set to go head to head with the LG Intuition as both smartphones/tablets prepare to do battle for the phablet market.
Comparing the two it can be seen that the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has some impressive specs. The device has a huge, 5.55-inch, 1280-by-720 Super AMOLED Display, which has a 16:9 aspect ratio and 265-pixel-per-inch density.
Meanwhile, what looks to become its greatest rival, the LG Tuition, features a slightly smaller 5-inch, 1024-by-768 IPS LCD, and a 4:3 aspect ratio and a slightly less dense 256 pixels per inch.
When it comes to design beauty then the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will probably be the favorite. It has a similar slick feel as the hugely popular Samsung Galaxy S3, and looks state of the art.
However, the LG Intuition has been criticized by same as being too square in design, which has led to accusations that it is not a true phablet.
But the LG Tuition could still win many hearts with its pure power. It has a powerful dual-core, 1.5-GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2, though, could also feature a quad-core, 1.6-GHz Cortex-A9 if the U.S. version remains the same as the European one already released.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will feature Wacom's S Pen, while the LG Intuition uses what LG is calling a Rubberdium pen, which is the same stylus as used on the Optimus Vu. In a face off the S Pen wins hands down, and has a lot more features and precision than what the LG Intuition brings.
So it is likely that the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will be a firm favorite in the phablet market, although for those who cannot wait to get their hands on the Note 2, the LG Intuition is still a top phone and is already available on Sept. 6. It will be on Verizon for $199.99. Where as the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will not drop in the U.S. until "later in 2012."

Who Needs a Boyfriend?
Jennifer Aniston? Hell nah. Way too insecure for a man this beautiful – it almost destroyed her the first time. And if Gwyneth's shadow was too daunting then, can you imagine Rosario Dawson's?
Aside from the wardrobe, Jason Lewis is the only other good thing about that Sex & The City movie. Jason of course is reprising his role as Smith Jerrod, Samantha's wonderf*ck turned perfect boyfriend. He also bravely played gay – or maybe not? - in Brothers and Sisters… really too gorgeous to be straight, non?
This is Jason last night at the 10th Annual Angel Ball in NYC. I feel lightheaded just looking at him.
Who needs a boyfriend?

SCOTUS arguments recap - Day two
(Crossposted at MyDD)
After initial arguments yesterday, the Supreme Court today slogged headlong into the meat of the arguments for and against the Affordable Care Act mandate (transcript and full audio via NPR).
Nothing new here outside of specific presentation, and maybe the political optics outside the court. Politico has a recap of the 7 key points, including the "Brocolli Argument":
SCALIA: "Could you define the market — everybody has to buy food sooner or later, so you define the market as food, therefore, everybody is in the market; therefore, you can make people buy broccoli."
VERRILLI: "No, that's quite different. That's quite different. The food market, while it shares that trait that everybody's in it, it is not a market in which your participation is often unpredictable and often involuntary. It is not a market in which you often don't know before you go in what you need, and it is not a market in which, if you go in and — and seek to obtain a product or service, you will get it even if you can't pay for it."Here in Utah, Little Mikey and Marky are already cheering the demise of the mandate, and SCOTUSblog's Lyle Denniston confirms, this is going to be Justice Kennedy's case to call. But where Kennedy is may be up in the air (emphasis mine):
"So," Breyer said, "I thought the issue here is not whether it's a violation of some basic right or something to make people buy things they don't want, bujt simply whether those decisons of that groujp of 40 milliion people substantially affect the interstate commerce that has been set up in part" through a variety of government-sponsored health care delivery systems. That, Breyer told Carvin, "the part of your argument I'm not hearing."
Carvin, of course, disputed the premise, saying that Congress in adopting the mandate as a method to leverage health care coverage for all of the uninsured across the nation. Kennedy interrupted to that that he agreed "that's what's happening here." But then he went on, and suggested that he had seen what Breyer had been talking about. "I think it is true that, if most questions in life are matters of degree," it could be that in the markets for health insurance and for the health care for which insurance was the method of payment "the young person who is uninsured is uniquely proximately very close to affecting the rates of insurance and the costs of providing medical care in a way that is not true in other industries. That's my concern in the case."More interesting, was yesterday a setup? As David Dayden has pointed out: yesterday every Justice agreeing a mandate was not a tax under Anti-Injunction, today Obama's SG arguing it's just like a tax to Congress.
And even more interesting, the politics outside of it all. Roll Call has 5 races where health care will matter either way, and why Democrats will make this about RyanCare. Senate Republicans are squealing tires in reverse, hoping everyone forgets "Replace" is a word. For Obama, it could be win-win. Mandate struck down, Republicans lose a major rallying point for the general election, Democrats may gain one (Activist judges!). Robert Reich sees Obama positioned well for Medicare for All if the Affordable Care Act unravels. And somewhere, Lil' Ricky and the Newt are firing up the attack ads on Romney.
Tomorrow's arguments: Mandate "what-ifs" and the Medicaid expansion.
