Supporting Olympic Athletes
The difference between glory and heartbreak at the Olympic Games can be as quick as the blink of an eye or a flash of lightning. For US swimmer Michael Phelps, a hundredth of a second was the difference between winning 7 gold medals and breaking a record in Beijing. Will the lightning strike twice in London?
USA diver David Boudia makes over 25,000 practice dives a year; which is like diving off the tallest building in the world over 180 times. All of the practice is in anticipation of the one perfect dive when the lights are shining brightest at the London 2012 Olympic Games. See if practice makes perfect and follow David's journey.
Forced by circumstances to run as a child, South Sudanese-born American track and field athlete Lopez Lomong never stopped, even after arriving on the biggest stage in the world.
Too tall to be a gymnast, Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbaeva almost lost her dream of competing in the Olympic Games. See how her story unfolded.
Chinese professional tennis player Li Na started playing tennis because of her parents. Watch her story and see what inspired her change in motivation.
There had never been a perfect score in modern Olympic gymnastics history until Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci's performance at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal. See how her perfect 10.0 brought the crowd to its feet.
With support from Team Liukin, Russian-American artistic gymnast Nastia Liukin was able to achieve her life-long dream of winning gold. See why her dreams are different for London 2012.
Track & Field wasn't New Zealand shot putter Valerie Adams' first choice. But, after the passing of her mother, she decided to give it a shot. (No pun intended.)
One of the greatest honors in the world is representing your family and country at The Olympic Games. See how South Korean weightlifter, Miran Jang, handles this tough responsibility.

As a youth soccer coach, Robert Rivers III is known for his motivational coaching style and for understanding and developing each player's specialized talents. Rivers started playing soccer at the age of 5 and was fortunate to have skilled coaches who taught him not only how to play the game but also how to communicate that knowledge to others.
In addition to his work with his club soccer teams, Rob was a star player for the Tampa Marauders of the NPL and later joined the St. Pete Raiders CSLUSA men's team. During his college career, he earned a National Championship at Southeastern University and numerous individual accolades, including Player of the Year and All American honors.
In his spare time, he works with charitable organizations that benefit young people. He currently is the DOC of Dynamic Futbol Soccer Camp and is the Assistant Soccer Coach at Trinity College of Florida for the Mens Program.

| 10.4°C Dublin
Wigan boss Roberto Martinez is not losing any sleep over how to stop Gareth Bale on Saturday afternoon.
The brilliant Welshman recovered from an ankle injury in time to face Manchester City last weekend, and scored his 18th league goal of the season as Tottenham rallied to win 3-1. That came 24 hours after Martinez had seen key defender Antolin Alcaraz limp out of his own side's defeat at West Ham with a hamstring injury.
"Tottenham can only play with 11. They can't play with 13 or 14," Martinez said. "If Gareth Bale didn't play it would just be someone else and their squad is of the highest level, so it is not as if it would be substantially easier for us if he wasn't there."
He added: "We all agree Bale is one of the best players in world football. He will always bring an extra threat.
"But if you want to beat a team like Spurs, with Gareth Bale or not, you need a very good level of performance."
After years of scrapping for survival, a nagging feeling persists that events are conspiring against Wigan.
Alcaraz's absence is a hammer blow and while a first appearance in the FA Cup final - against Manchester City next month - will be an experience to savour, the fact it comes at the end of a week which includes fixtures against West Brom and Swansea makes their run-in exceptionally hazardous.
Typically though, Martinez retains an unshakeable confidence in his troops, which comes from so many similar battles.
"Every season is different," he said. "There is an inner confidence that comes from your own experience.
"The players went through it in the last campaign and they went through it two years ago when it went down to the last game of the season. That is part of our aim. We have to stay in the Premier League. That is what we want to achieve."

Roasted Red Pepper Soup
This is my favorite Roasted Red Pepper Soup recipe, it's smoky and sweet with a hint of spiciness. The soup goes very well with some sourdough bread, and if you like a bit more heat, just sprinkle some smoked paprika into the soup for that extra oomph! Anyway, when you pick-out the peppers, look for fleshy medium to large sized ones that has smooth, firm, and unblemished skin. The fleshier peppers are more flavorful and they are great for broiling.
Roasted Red Pepper Soup
8 (about 1 kg) Red Peppers, whole
3 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 (450 g) Medium Yellow Onion, peeled and diced
2 Cloves Garlic, chopped
2 (250 g) Large Potatoes, peeled and diced
6 Cups Chicken Stock
Sea Salt to taste
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
Pinch of Smoked paprika (optional)
Roasting Fresh Peppers (Broiler): Line a large baking pan with aluminum foil. Place the whole peppers on the foil and brush lightly with olive oil. Broil, turning as needed, until blackened on all sides. Once they are charred, place all the peppers in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Leave it for about 5 minutes, scrape of the skin with a knife or your hand. Remove the top, seeds, cut away the membranes, and coarsely chop the peppers. Reserved any juices in the bottom of the bowl.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot, cook the onions with a big pinch of sugar. Cook the mixture until soft and translucent. Then mix in the garlic and cook for another minute.
Then add the potatoes and roasted peppers and continue to cook for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the reserved liquid and chicken stock into the mixture. Bring it to the boil and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Allow the soup to cool slightly before you puree it with a handheld blender. Bring the soup back to the boil; mix in the butter, and season with some salt and pepper. Serve warm with a pinch of smoke paprika, if desired.
Serve 4 to 6

No SUVs Around During the Roman Global Warming 'Crisis'
Ah, spring, when the earth slowly wakes from its winter slumber, a warming welcomed by nearly every living thing.
Hard to believe some silly people are deathly afraid of warming weather -- worried sick because the earth has warmed a degree or two over the last 150 years.
Make no mistake -- the earth has warmed. Unfortunately for the climate-change catastrophists, warming periods have occurred throughout recorded history, long before the Industrial Revolution and SUVs began spitting man-made carbon into the atmosphere. And as might be expected, these warm periods have invariably proven a blessing for humanity. Consider:
Around the 3rd century B.C., the planet emerged from a long cold spell. The warm period which followed lasted about 700 years, and since it coincided with the rise of Pax Romana, it is known as the Roman Warming.
In the 5th century A.D., the earth's climate became cooler. Cold and drought pushed the tribes of northern Europe south against the Roman frontier. Rome was sacked, and the Dark Ages commenced. And it was a dark age, both metaphorically and literally -- the sun's light dimmed and gave little warmth; harvest seasons grew shorter and yielded less. Life expectancy and literacy plummeted. The plague appeared and decimated whole populations.
Then, inexplicably, about 900 A.D. things began to warm. This warming trend would last almost 400 years, a well documented era known as the Medieval Warm Period. Once again, as temperatures rose harvests and populations grew. Vineyards made their way into Northern Europe, including Britain. Art and science flourished in what we now know as the Renaissance of the 12th century.

Tina & Janet
FameFlynet, MaHahui/ Ditoj/ Fotogramma/ Splash News
As in Turner and Jackson. Together in one post! Ms Turner and Ms Jackson are both in Milan for Giorgio Armani's 40th anniversary. Both have been seen around town shopping the last few days. And both attended a private dinner last night for the designer. Check it out – a rare sighting of Janet holding hands with her billionaire husband Wissam Al Mana who runs a fashion conglomerate and, basically, owns Armani in the Middle East. Full Story

I posted an article earlier about Cate Blanchett and Katie Holmes at the Armani Prive show during Haute Couture week in Paris. Click here for a refresher. Just reviewing the pictures from the runaway and every look came with a head garnish. Kinda like. Full Story
Euro man swimwear
My father-in-law, like many fathers-in-law, is known to go on about not understanding the younger generation. He's a sun worshipper, a strapping Polish man in great shape, who hits the beach whenever he can. When he comes back from his annual holiday at the beach, he's been known to bitch about the punks he saw in Mexico or Cuba and their "stupid shorts". Full Story
How to behave
Like a douche? So apparently it wasn't his mother – click here to read Sunday's article about John Mayer out for dinner with two older ladies in his monogrammed jacket trying to be funny. Full Story
One last thing
Couldn't resist. These fashion designers…they kill me. They're ALL orange. But for Karl. It's Mr Armani on a boat in Italy. Very tanned, very thin, very speedo. Amazing. Imagine it was your dad? Please. My mother makes my dad walk around in a beret in the winter. Little Chinese man in a beret. Full Story
He's not Karl…
But that doesn't make him less amazing. Giorgio Armani. SO amazing. Mr Armani opened his store in New York this week. He commemorated the occasion by blogging, for the first time ever, with the NY Times. It's the best, best, BEST way to end your week. I can hear him, I can see him waving his hand, blinking slowly, inhaling with impatience… sigh. Full Story

In December 2009 we plan to launch a new online-shop at http://www.beaubags.com.
Our shop will be targeted at the Dutch market at first but soon after launch we plan to launch in other European countries.

Our clients:

Our referral sources:

We need a logo for BeauBags.
In addition we need a separate logo only with the two B's.
We want to use the second logo with the two B's for printing in the lining of our bags, make accessories of it or stamp the logo in accessories like zipper heads but also for example as favicon.
This approach is similar of what you see at for example http://www.chanel.com where the main logo is just CHANEL written out but they also have a smaller logo (two entangled C's) which they use in clothes and elsewhere.
Some more examples that follow the same approach: http://www.dior.com http://www.ysl.com http://www.louisvuitton.com http://www.fendi.com
We do not have a webshop yet but it will be modern, light and with a magazine look and feel.

Traditional couture & smocks expertise
Uniting timeless French style with traditional handsmocking, our dresses are one of a kind. Time-honored know-hows of dressmaking are practiced in our very own atelier by our team of experts who bring each piece to life.
Pioneers in marrying nouveau French style with the traditional smocking art of Madagascar and have been dedicated to the craft for over three decades. Deeply treasured, we are commited to the safe-keeping of this precious heritage.
For striped and checked fabrics, we pleat the fabric entirely by hand so as to put forward one color. The same goes for velvets so as to achieve greated precision. Nothing is left to chance. We believe there is no age to enjoy well made clothes. Your children deserve perfection.
Once pleated, the fabric is then smocked entirely by hand too. This skill is passed down from generation to generation within our atelier. Offering unlimited possibilities, smocks enhance our creativity. Each season is a new opportunity to experiment and renew our designs. Inspiration is gleaned from nature's beauty, cherished childhood memories, and most of all French culture. Our Parisian boutique L'Île aux Fées' surrounding is a constant source of amazement and new ideas.
All our embroideries are traditionally made with embroidery hoops. We call the result "needle painting" due to its delicacy. Thanks to this ancient know-how we achieve great precision and sophistication.
At every step and up until the very last stitch, great care is provided. The wrong side is almost as clean as the right side.
Our hems are also made by hand in order to obtain an invisible seam. Even our buttons are self covered by hand!

Hamilton and Quebec City could support a team right now, while the Greater Toronto Area could eventually support a second team, according to the board's newly-published book Power Play: The Business Economics of Pro Sports.
Economists and sports fans Glen Hodgson and Mario Lefebvre examine the economic conditions of the communities that host professional franchises, operating conditions for pro sports leagues, franchise ownership and management, and who should pay for new pro sports facilities.
"Hamilton and Quebec City meet most of the basic market criteria for an NHL franchise," Hodgson said in a release. "However, both are among the smallest markets in the league, so new franchises will need to have dedicated owners who are in it for the long run and manage their business operations carefully."
A second team in Toronto would come at a steep price, according to the authors, who estimate approximately $1 billion will be needed to acquire a franchise, build a playing facility and address the Toronto Maple Leafs' territorial rights.
Ryan Kesler said it's tough to hear his name thrown around in trade rumours, adding that he hopes he can stay with the Vancouver Canucks.
However, when asked during the Canucks' locker clean out Monday if he was open to a deal, the centre got defensive.
"Where did you get that from, Twitter? French guy?" he said. "I didn't ask for a trade. For the organization, I think it's best to keep that in house."
In late February, reports surfaced that the forward requested a trade at the start of the season.
"Completely false," Kesler said following the 2014 Sochi Olympics. "I'm happy. I love my teammates. I love the city. My son was born here, my kids grew up here."
Kesler has played his entire 10-year career with the Canucks.
Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tomas Vokoun was recalled from his conditioning assignment with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL Monday.
Vokoun played two games, going 1-1-0 with a 2.41 goals-against average and .891 save percentage.
Vokoun, 37, missed all of the regular season because of a blood clot in his pelvis. He was expected to be Marc-Andre Fleury's backup this season. Instead, rookie Jeff Zatkoff went 12-6-2 with a 2.61 GAA and .912 save percentage over 20 games in that role.
Last season, Vokoun went 13-4-3 in 20 regular-season games as Fleury's backup, and then replaced him during the first-round of the Stanley Cup playoffs against the New York Islanders. He went 6-5 with a 2.01 GAA and .933 save percentage in last year's postseason.
General manager Don Maloney is not happy that the Phoenix Coyotes missed the playoffs for the second straight season.
Although injuries to goaltender Mike Smith and centre Martin Hanzal didn't help, Maloney feels something needs to change for the team to return to the postseason.
"We certainly came into this year with the expectation to be a playoff team," Maloney told AZCentral.com. "That to me is a minimum goal for this franchise. It didn't happen, and so now we have to figure out what went wrong and that's the job of myself and the staff and work with the coaches to get better and that's what we're all about here."
Maloney said Smith suffered an MCL sprain to his right knee on March 24, while Hanzal was dealing with groin and hip issues.
Jack Capuano will return to the New York Islanders as their head coach.
The 47-year-old has a 118-120-39 record since taking over for Scott Gordon 17 games into the 2010-11 season.
Capuano assistants Doug Weight and Brent Thompson are also keeping their jobs.
"Cappy will be back," general manager Garth Snow told New York's Newsday. "If we have an opportunity to add to our staff, the way we'd look to add a player, then we'll do that. But I don't expect to change the current staff."
As the players cleared out their lockers, the Isles sent forwards Mike Halmo, Brett Gallant, John Persson and Justin Johnson, and defencemen Scott Mayfield and Matt Donovan to Bridgeport of the AHL.
Carolina Hurricanes right wing Alexander Semin will have wrist surgery, the Raleigh News and Observer reported Monday.
Semin sat out the final two games of the season with the injury. The Hurricanes did not qualify for the playoffs.
Semin had 22 goals and 20 assists in 65 games this season. He did not have a goal or an assist in his final six games.
Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Hartnell was fined $5,000 by the NHL for spearing Carolina Hurricanes defenceman Brett Bellemore Sunday … The Montreal Canadiens signed 2013 second-round pick Jacob de la Rose to a three-year, entry-level contract that will begin next season … The New Jersey Devils sent forwards Adam Larsson, Tim Sestito and Mike Sislo, and defenceman Jon Merrill to Albany of the AHL … Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Anders Lindback, Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson and Columbus Blue Jackets centre Ryan Johansen were named the NHL's three stars for the week.

His and her travel footwear
Gina Carano and her boyfriend Henry Cavill arrived in Tokyo yesterday. We're now just 10 weeks out from the Man Of Steel release. Which means they'll be pushing Cavill out heavy soon. And still, amazingly, they haven't forced him to not have a girlfriend. Please don't push him to not have a girlfriend, especially this girlfriend. I like this girlfriend.
Interesting the choice of travel footwear, non?
One's in flipflops and the other is in proper heels -- with studs. I'm all for comfort when I'm flying too but... in this case, if given the choice of either flipflops or her heels? The heels. Because... you're allowing your skin to touch the plane. That is the dirt of thousands upon thousands of people rubbing up on you. What if you have to go to the bathroom? Oh my God, Henry! Oh my God!

Kan. Man Charged in Mo. with Smuggling Fake Botox
KANSAS CITY - A federal grand jury has indicted a central Kansas man on charges that he worked with an Alton, Ill., company and its owner in a $3 million scheme to sell foreign versions of Botox and Juvederm.
The U.S. attorney's office in Kansas City, Mo., says 43-year-old Christopher Tozier of Hesston, Kan., was charged Thursday with smuggling goods into the U.S. and several other similar counts.
The superseding indictment adding Tozier replaces an indictment in April that charged Illinois-based Orthopaedic Solutions Inc. and its owner, 48-year-old Christopher Carstens, with similar counts.
The superseding indictment alleges that Carstens and his company distributed nearly 5,900 units of foreign versions of Botox and Juvederm in the U.S. between 2008 and 2011 with a retail value of more than $3 million.

Wedding etiquette isn't what it used to be. Here's how it's changed
There are a lot of stresses when it comes to planning and attending a wedding, and a lot of that pressure comes from anxiety over how to behave. Weddings are among the few (mostly) formal occasions most people will attend anymore, and in an increasingly modern and relaxed society, knowing how wedding etiquette has changed from decades past isn't always so easy. From changing gender roles to online invites and registries, here's how wedding etiquette is different today.istockphoto.com
There are numerous pre-wedding celebrations
Engagements used to be a simpler affair. Before the wedding, there might be a bridal shower, a bachelorette and bachelor party, a rehearsal dinner and then the wedding. These days, close friends of the bride and groom can expected to be invited to any number of pre-wedding celebrations. In addition to the more traditional parties, there are also engagement parties, lingerie showers and bridesmaid luncheons.istockphoto.com
Showers aren't just for the bride
Back in the day, weddings were very gendered. Sometime between the engagement and the wedding day, the bride, along with her female family members, bridesmaids and close girlfriends would have a bridal shower (oftentimes in place of a bachelorette party). Here, women would give the bride home goods along with feminine gifts like perfume, lingerie and spa goods. Today, wedding showers with both members of the engaged couple are increasingly common. Men and women are invited to this event, and the gifts exchanged are more centered on items needed for building a home together. If you're in charge of throwing said shower, there are a lot of things you need to know.istockphoto.com
The bride's family doesn't have to pay for the wedding
Women used to be seen as a financial burden on their parents and then on their husbands, so it was expected that the bride's family would pay for the wedding as a sort-of unofficial dowry. And while the idea of a woman being a burden has waned significantly over generations, the tradition of a woman's family paying for the nuptials has persisted. Today, the costs of a wedding are a discussion between the engaged couple and their families. Sometimes both families and the couples split the cost, and sometimes the couple will just pay for the whole party themselves.istockphoto.com
Invitations are often sent online
If the couple is looking to throw a green wedding or a budget-friendly wedding, they may forego paper invitations and send out the official invite via a wedding website. Though it may seem unconventional to old-fashioned folks, e-vites are perfectly suitable. If doing this, the couple should be aware that some older guests may be less tech-savvy and send along a few paper invites as well.istockphoto.com
Guests are often expected to RSVP online
In the further interests of a green wedding and saving money, couples will skip the little RSVP postcard (and postage stamp) and have guests RSVP on their wedding website online. This is also convenient for the couple, who can electronically track who has (and has not) sent back their responses.istockphoto.com
But you still only have 24 hours to RSVP
There are a lot of ways that etiquette has changed over the decades, but a few rules are the same. For instance, guests still really only have 24 hours to respond to an invitation. Weddings are all about numbers. Caterers need to know how much food and drink to prepare, the venue needs to know how many seats to put up at the reception site and the couple needs to know how many wedding favors they need to buy.istockphoto.com
A person doesn't have to be married to get a plus-one
Married couples are (in almost every instance) automatically invited as a pair, but in modern times when not everyone chooses to get married, longtime partners should also be automatically invited guests. Everyone else who does and does not get a plus-one is up to the people hosting the wedding itself.istockphoto.com
But it's still rude to ask for a plus-one
Going to a wedding by yourself may seem like a drag, but asking the couple if you can bring a plus-one either before or after receiving your RSVP card is an easy way to be rude without knowing it. It costs money to host people at a wedding, and those close to the couple need to be prioritized. Asking the couple if you can bring someone just puts both of you in an awkward spot. And, please, don't just bring your friend as a plus-one without even asking.Shutterstock
It's still considered rude to include registry info with the invitations
Everyone makes etiquette mistakes without knowing it leading up to a wedding, including the couple getting married. While it's remarkably common, including your registry information alongside paper invitations is considered to be rude. While guests should bring a wedding gift, it is not a requirement to attend the wedding. Including registry info in your invite suite makes it feel like a present is a must-have.istockphoto.com
Registry information goes on a couple's wedding website
Luckily, there is a secondary location where registry information can be included: a wedding website. Advertising a wedding website is not considered rude, and directing guests there where they can then coincidentally find registry information is acceptable and convenient for all involved. If there is no wedding website, simply spread your registry information via word of mouth.istockphoto.com
Wedding registries are almost entirely online now
Including registry information online isn't just a way for the couple to spread the word subtly, it's also convenient for guests. Long gone are the days when you'd walk into Macy's and go to a booth to find a couple's registry information; it's all online now. You can find and buy items from registries at most major retailers on the internet. Plus, online retailers such as Amazon and Zola allow couples to register as well.istockphoto.com
You don't have to bring your gift to the reception
Online wedding registries will also give guests a convenient option for delivery: shipping the gift, wrapped, straight to the couple's home. While it used to be considered a faux pas to show up to a wedding reception empty-handed, sending the couple a gift before or after the wedding is perfectly acceptable today. In fact, some couples prefer it, as shipping gifts prevents theft during the reception, which happens even at the most amazing wedding venues across America. Shipping gifts also saves them the effort of hauling presents home after the night is over. It's still a kind gesture to bring a card with you to the reception, however.istockphoto.com
Couples will use honeymoon funds instead of traditional registries - and that's OK
And there are some gifts that guests couldn't bring to the reception even if they wanted to, like the gift of experiences. Back in the day, couples typically would not live together before marriage, so they needed things to build a home together like pots and pans, bed sheets and toothbrush holders. These days, cohabitating before marriage is less scandalous in most cultures (and the average age of marriage is older). So both parties in the couple will already own enough bath towels and dinner plates. Enter: the honeymoon fund, through which couples will ask for money for their post-wedding vacation. You can buy the couple a night in a hotel, spa treatments, a bottle of wine or anything they need to have the best trip ever. While older wedding guests may find asking for money for a honeymoon to be tacky, modern wedding guests know any gift that the couple wants is acceptable.istockphoto.com
Gifts don't have to cover the cost of the meal
There's an old-fashioned expectation that if a meal at a wedding costs $95 a person, then guests should bring a gift worth at least $95. That's not so true anymore. A wedding is a party with guests, not a transaction between a couple and their loved ones. Couples should understand that they're inviting people with all sorts of financial situations. If someone comes to the wedding with $30 worth of hand towels, that's something to be grateful for.istockphoto.com
You can wear black
Break out that little black dress! While black was once a color that was synonymous with mourning and funerals in Western culture, this is no longer the case. Instead, a black dress, jumpsuit or suit is seen as a perfectly suitable - and chic! - thing to wear to any special occasion.istockphoto.com
And you can wear white - with caution
Unless you were the bride or a man in a crisp white dress shirt, wearing white - especially a white dress - to a wedding was once a serious breach of etiquette. Unless you get explicit permission from the couple before the big day, it's still not advisable to wear a white gown or even a white cocktail dress to the big day. But you can wear a white blouse, skirt or jacket, assuming it's being paired with a bright pop of color or bold print.istockphoto.com
Bridesmaids aren't always women; groomsmen aren't always men
Gender roles are thrown out the window when it comes to some wedding parties in the modern era. Bridesmaids were always traditionally female, while groomsmen were always male. But even heterosexual couples may not subscribe to these strict rules. If a groom has a close female friend or sister he wants standing by his side, she should be able to!Shutterstock
You can hook up at the reception, but be discreet
Weddings are great places to meet new people and potential romantic partners, whether you're looking for something long-term or just something for the night. But guests shouldn't let their romantic escapades upstage or distract from the couple on their big day.istockphoto.com
Spouses won't always have the same last name after the nuptials
"We now pronounce Mr. and Mrs. Jack Smith!" used to be the big proclamation deeming that a couple is, in fact, married as they make their recessional down the aisle. But for a variety of reasons, more and more women are keeping their maiden names. The New York Times reports that about 20 percent of women keep their maiden name after they tie the knot. The officiant should know this as the couple gets married, and family members and friends should respect the wishes of the couple regarding surnames throughout their married life.istockphoto.com
Stay off social media until the couple says 'I do'
If you're a groomsman getting ready with the husband before the big day, can you post photos of him putting on his suit and tie to your Instagram story? Should bridesmaids document their glam before they walk down the aisle? It's fine and good to take photos during wedding prep, but they should not be posted online before the wedding actually occurs. And while you can take a photo here and there of the ceremony, livestreaming the wedding without the couple's consent or trying to play wedding photographer (when the couple has already hired one) is rude. You can wait until after the wedding is over to put it on social media. And knowing how to navigate social media is just one of the modern etiquette questions you need answered.

Jesse Mayfield (1793-1857) of McMinn County TN and Rusk County TX
By Phil Norfleet
Jesse6 Mayfield (Jesse5, John4, John3, Robert2, Robert1) was born on 18 May 1793 in Greenville County SC. He was the son of Jesse Mayfield, Sr. (d. 1833) and Penelope Brumette (d. 1850). He married Sarah (Sallie) Walker Starr in about 1821; she was the daughter of Caleb Starr and Nancy Harlan. Sallie Starr was born on 04 July 1804 in the Cherokee Nation. She died on 02 July 1893. Jesse Mayfield died on 14 December 1857 in Rusk County TX. He is buried in the Mayfield Cemetery, near Pirtle, in Rusk County TX.
Notes for Sarah (Sallie) Walker Starr, Wife of Jesse Mayfield
Notes for Jesse Mayfield (1793-1857)
1835 - Jesse Mayfield Listed in the Cherokee Census (Henderson Roll)
The Treaty of New Echota (29 December 1835) stipulated that the Cherokees must surrender all their lands east of the Mississippi River in exchange for $5,000,000 including funds for removal to and acquiring land in the Indian Territory. In preparation for this removal, the Federal Government conducted a census of those Cherokees still living east of the Mississippi. This Census in Tennessee was conducted by a Federal employee named Daniel Henderson, hence the enumeration is commonly referred to as the "Henderson Roll." The Census lists approximately 16,000 Cherokees living in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina. In 1838-1839, most of these people would be forcibly removed to the Indian Territory on what would later be called the "Trail of Tears".
Like the other Federal Census enumerations taken before 1850, it provides only the name of the head-of-household. Other members of the household appear only as numbers in the various categories. Unfortunately, even the names of heads of households are frequently uninformative. They fall into four groups: Anglicized full names, Anglicized first names only (example - "Sally"), translated Cherokee names (examples - "Deer in the Water" or "Six Killer"), and transliterated but untranslated Cherokee names.
In total, the census enumerated 16,542 Indians, 1,592 slaves, and 201 intermarried whites. The great majority of these people are unnamed and appear only in the number categories. There is only one household in this census with the Mayfield surname - the family and slaves of Jesse Mayfield! He is included in the enumeration for these Cherokees then living in the State of Tennessee.
The census data for Jesse Mayfield's family is summarized in the following table:
1835 - Jesse Mayfield Listed in the "Trail of Tears Roll"
There were actually two rolls created in 1835, which provided names of Cherokee families to be removed west of the Mississippi River. The best known roll is the Henderson Roll discussed above. The second roll, frequently called the "Trail of Tears Roll," is actually a report from the Secretary of War, issued in compliance with Senate resolutions. The report lists, by head-of-household, the funds furnished to each family to offset travel expenses and losses associated with the owner's personal and real property due to the required removal to the west as stipulated by the Cherokee Treaty of December 1835.
In a sense, the roll provides a strong indicator of the financial status of each family being reimbursed. A wealthy man will receive a much larger monetary reimbursement than a poor man. The wealthy man will move with a much larger household, because he usually owns a sizeable number of slaves; also he is more likely to claim more losses as result of the liquidation of his real and personal property in preparation for the removal.
Like the Henderson Roll discussed above, the only Mayfield head-of-household is that of Jesse Mayfield. The amount of funding Jesse received ($8,623.50) is substantially greater than the amounts received by most Cherokee families. The following table lists the amount of government funds received by many of the leaders of the 13 detachments (see below) that made the trip to Indian Territory in 1838-1839. In addition, I have also indicated the money received by the two principal leaders of the Cherokee Nation at that time - John Ross and Major Ridge.
October 1837 - Jesse Mayfield moves His family to Indian Territory in the Cannon Group
Jesse Mayfield removed his immediate family to Indian Territory in October 1837 with one of the last groups of Treaty Supporters to move west. This group left the Cherokee Agency East (located near present-day Charleston TN) under U. S. Army supervision, commanded by Lieutenant B. B. Cannon. Statistics for this group are as follows.
An official National Park Service Report (PDF File) describes this group with the following words:
Section E, Page 15:
... Lieutenant B. B. Cannon's detachment, which had departed at about the same time from the Cherokee Agency area near present day Charleston, Tennessee. Cannon's party traveled overland through Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas. These emigrants encountered severe weather that delayed them, and a number of ill and elderly Cherokee died and were buried along the way. Cannon's route would later be followed by the majority of the emigrating detachments in 1838-39. ...
Section E, Page 23:
... In early October of 1837, a group of Cherokee led by Lt. B. B. Cannon made an overland journey from the Cherokee Agency area to the Indian Territory. This was the first entirely overland journey made by a large group of Cherokee after the Treaty of New Echota, and this route was followed by eleven of the seventeen detachments which traveled west in 1838. ...
Lieutenant Cannon kept a journal of the trip and his account is available on the Internet. Two of his entries refer to Jesse Mayfield's wagon:
December the 9th, 1837.
Marched at 9 o'c. A.M., Mayfields wagon broke down at about a mile left him to get it mended and overtake, halted at Waynesville, Mo. 4 o'c. P.M., encamped and issued corn & fodder, beef & corn meal, weather extremely cold, 12 ½ miles to day. ...
Decr. 13th, 1837.
Marched at 8 ½ o'c. A. M., halted at a branch near Mr. Eddington's, 4 o'c. P.M., encamped and issued corn & fodder, Reese & Mayfield came up, 13 ½ miles today.
1838 - Trail of Tears - Jesse Mayfield Hired as Wagon Master for the Jesse Bushyhead Detachment
The Jesse Bushyhead group, departed 0n 03 September 1838 and arrived in Indian Territory on 27 February 1839, About 950 people began the trip and 898 actually arrived at the destination. On the trip, 6 births and 38 deaths were recorded. The Bushyhead group made the trip in a longer period of time compared to most of the other travel groups; they were on the trail for 178 days. The primary cause for this longer period was the fact that, in December 1838, when the detachment arrived at the Mississippi River crossing point near Cape Girardeau MO, the river was frozen over. There were no bridges in those days and the ice was thick enough to preclude the use of ferries but too thin to support oxen and wagons. Therefore, the Bushyhead detachment had to wait several weeks until the ice melted sufficiently to permit a a ferry crossing.
An Interview with Jesse Mayfield's Grandson re the Trail of Tears
On 19 March 1937, William Wilson Harnage, a grandson of Jesse Mayfield and Sallie Starr, was interviewed by a Historical-Indian Research Worker, Mr. L. W. Wilson. The interview covers many topics, including the trip his grandparents made over the "Trail of Tears." A transcript of that interview is as follows:
I am one-fourth Cherokee and was born in 1852 in Tyler, Texas, which makes me eighty-five years of age, last January.
My Father's name was George W. Harnage, born in Georgia, date unknown. Died at the age of seventy and was buried at Chapel Hill, Texas, near the present town of Tyler, Texas.
Mother's name was Nancy Mayfield, born in Tennessee, date unknown, and was buried at Overton, Texas.
Grandfather, Jesse Mayfield, on my mother's side, was born in North Carolina [sic] at date unknown to me. He died in 1857. He was buried at Belleview, Texas on the old home place - the Mayfield Plantation.
Grandmother, Sally Starr-Mayfield, on my mother's side was born in Tennessee, at a date unknown to me. She died in the early part of 1860 [sic] and was buried at Belleview, Texas, alongside her husband. Grandmother, when about twelve years of age, went to the river to see the party, under Chief Bowls, who was Chief of a band of Cherokee Indians, leaving in canoes seeking a new land in which to live.
Chief Bowls and his party left in canoes and drifted down the Tennessee River, until they came to the Mississippi River. When they reached the mouth of Red River they ascended Red River to the mouth of the Sabine River, thence up the Sabine, to the headwaters of the Neches and here he established a village.
He remained there until the Mexican War. At the beginning of the Mexican War, with the solicitation of Sam Houston, an agreement was made, whereby Chief Bowls would protect their rear from attack from wild Indians. The reason that he solicited Chief Bowls was because he lived among the Indians, and knew their traits, character, and tactics. For his services as such, he was promised a concession of land, which embraced about three counties, the names of the counties were Rusk, Smith, and Cherokee County, Texas. The result of the Mexican War was that the United States whipped them. Chief Bowls never did receive for his reward, the three counties promised.
The line was run and started at the head-waters of the Neches River and went with the wind of the Naches to some point on the Angelina River, thence, down the Angelina to a certain point, thence due north to the Sabine, embracing about three counties. Houston went to Bowls camp or village. He told Bowls that he would give him that land and would make him a title as soon as it could be done.
After the war, Houston became the first Governor of Texas. Later he was elected United States Senator, which was after the annexation of the state of Texas. While he was in the Senate, Governor Lamar became Governor. He was the first Governor after the annexation.
Bowls was in his little village in the Neches and the people began to encroach on him. He thought that he had a promised reservation. Bowls went to Lamar and told him that the people were encroaching on his reservation. Lamar did not give him any encouragement. The third time Lamar just answered him: "The boundary of Texas is marked by the sword." Bowls understood it and he left. He went back to his reservation and began a removal. He crossed the Neches and camped off his reservation. He was pursued by the Texas Rangers, and Bowls was killed and the larger part of his tribe slaughtered. Some of them, however, got away. The Rangers pursued them, and they were captured. They took them, as prisoners, to Fort Towson, in the Indian Territory and turned them over to the Government. They were then moved to Fort Smith and turned over to the Cherokee Nation.
My father was an old settler. He settled within about four miles of the present town of Evansville, Arkansas, in about 1825 and remained there until a treaty was signed back east by John Ridge and Elias Boudinot for the removal of the entire Cherokee tribe from Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, and other states, and he then moved to the Indian Territory and settled in the Going Snake District.
My mother came through at the instigation of the treaty made as above mentioned and known to all as the "Trail of Tears". They traveled in caravans and wagons and were pushed along by the United States troops. Many of the Cherokees did not care to leave their lands, that were so productive and also to leave behind the burial grounds, where their loved ones were buried, to come to this Western country. It was forced upon them and consequently a great deal of dissatisfaction reigned among them, causing a faction known as the Treaty Party and the Anti-Treaty Party.
My mother has told me that they came to the Mississippi River, that it was up and that it was necessary for them to remain there six or seven weeks, before they could cross the river, as they had no means, other than canoes and flat boats to put them across. This put them on the west bank of the Mississippi River, in Arkansas, and they continued to travel, often wading streams with little food and practically no medical attention and hundreds of them died enroute, caused by exposure and unsanitary conditions. Even while they were waiting for the river to recede, while in Tennessee, hundreds of them died on the banks of the river from dysentery. As they died along the route they were buried in unmarked graves. My mother was one of the fortunates that made it through and it is useless to say that she endured many hardships, was grief stricken and sorrowful. She weathered the storm, while others, even after arriving, soon died of sorrow and grief.
In this removal my grandfather had thirty teams [sic] and was employed by the government to assist in removing them, so I guess my folks really fared well to what some of the rest of them did, because, they brought with them enough stuff to start building cabins, clearing the ground and making ready for crops.
My father and mother married in the Cherokee Nation and remained there until what they called the "Star War", between parties of Treaty and Anti-Treaty. My parents, along with Judge Adair, George Starr, Judge Wiley, Franklin D. Thompson, two or three of my uncles and my grandmother, Sally Mayfield, all went to Texas, before the Civil War, and lived as one big family and located near the present town of Tyler, and Kilgore, Texas, and it was at this place that I was born.
We did not
return to the Indian Territory until 1888. During the Civil War, my father
volunteered, although he was over-age, he signed up at Galveston, Texas and was
assigned to Regiment (unknown to me) and fought under the Confederate flag
during the duration of the war. It so happened that he was not engaged in any
battle. After the war he returned to us - we were living in Tyler, Texas.

1845 - Expedition to Mexico
The historian, Grant Foreman, in his book (first published 1934) entitled The Five Civilized Tribes (pages 336-337), states that Jesse Mayfield was a member of a Cherokee delegation sent to Mexico in 1845:
... in the summer of 1845 a part of the Old Settler and Treaty parties feeling that they could not be happy under a government dominated by John Ross, determined to seek a home on the borders of Mexico. Conferences were held near the Arkansas line where members were selected to explore the country to which it was proposed to move. A delegation left Evansville, Arkansas about September 1 for that purpose. Among them were Charles Reece, Tessee Guess, the son of George Guess [Sequoyah], James Starr, Ezekiel Starr, Joseph M. Lynch, Dr. J. L. Thompson, Mathew Moore, John Harnage, Jess Mayfield and John A. Bell; beside W. Quesenbury who went along out of curiosity. They were equipped with horses and pack mules. The party consisting of forty-three members of the Treaty and eleven of the Old Settler party, met at the forks of the Canadian and Arkansas rivers and after electing a captain proceeded by Fort Washita, crossing Red River at Coffee's trading house, and followed the ridge dividing the waters of the trinity and Brazos to the latter river, which they crossed at Basky Creek. Here they found a small settlement of sixty-three Cherokee, who had moved in the preceding June from a place called by them Mount Clover, in Mexico.
Leaving the Brazos River, the explorers traveled westward to the Colorado, reaching it at the mouth of Stone Fork Creek, beyond which they proceeded in a southwesterly direction to the San Saba Creek, at a point about forty or fifty miles above its mouth. They returned on a route some sixty miles south of their outgoing trip, by way of Fort Towson, where they arrived early in January. On their return to the Cherokee Nation, they held a council with their partisans, at which it was decided to ask the United States to provide them a home in Texas upon their relinquishment of all interests in the Cherokee Nation, or in case of the refusal of this request that the territory of the nation be divided into two parts, and their share be assigned to them with the privilege of setting up their own government and living under it. ....
1846 - Removal to Rusk County TX
The U. S. Government did send a commission to investigate the possibility of separating the Cherokee nation into two parts, but nothing came of it. A new treaty was signed with the Cherokees, which took effect on 06 August 1846. The treaty, among other things, stipulated that the lands occupied by the Cherokees belonged to all members and that a federal Government patent for this would be issued to the tribe.
Several months before the negotiation of the above treaty, on 02 November 1845, James Starr, Sr., a brother of Jesse Mayfield's wife Sallie Starr Mayfield, was slain by a posse of Ross supporters. All members of the Starr clan became concerned for their safety. Accordingly, in about 1846, Jesse Mayfield and his family, as well as a number of other families then residing in the Indian Territory, removed to the area which is now Rusk County TX. Additional reasons for this migration are set forth below:
Due to the near civil war state that existed then in the Cherokee Nation between the Ross Faction (those that were part of the "trail of tears" ) and the Ridge or Treaty Party (those that were signers and supporters of the 1835 Treaty of New Echota) some fifty Cherokees fled for their lives to Texas. These went to what is now the area where Rusk, Smith, Cherokee and Gregg counties come together in a place coined in the book Cherokee Cavaliers as Mt. Tabor, Texas, thus the beginning of the Mount Tabor Indian Community. ... It was these people, their children and other relatives that made up the community until the coming of the American Civil War. Between 1861 and 1865 the community grew as Cherokees fled Federal troops in Indian Territory. In fact the community became exile headquarters of the Confederate Cherokees during the war. ... After the death of John Ross in 1866 and Stand Waite in 1871, much of the community disbanded and returned to the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory. Many there went on to become prominent in the affairs of the Cherokee Nation in the latter part of the 19th century. One descendant of Benjamin Franklin Thompson (John Wilson) became a Councilor of the Cherokee Nation, representing the Tahlequah District

1850 Federal Census for Rusk County TX
After removing to Texas, Jesse Mayfield became a wealthy man. The 1850 Federal Census for Rusk County TX (page 296) shows Jesse as possessing real property worth $16,000! Also, the 1850 Slave Schedules (page 358) show Jesse with 57 slaves! Jesse's eldest son, John Wilson Mayfield, is also listed in the 1850 Federal Census for Rusk County TX with his own household (see page 267); the Slave Schedules (page 357) shown Wilson as possessing 7 slaves.
Census data for the households of Jesse and Wilson Mayfield are as follows:
1860 Federal Census for Rusk County TX
Jesse Mayfield died in 1857. The 1860 Federal Census for Rusk County TX shows his widow Sarah and son Wilson. Three other Mayfield households are also shown, those of Thomas B., James and Jesse Mayfield. These Mayfields had originally come out west from McMinn County TN and were all sons of Jesse's deceased elder brother, Pearson Brummett Mayfield (1789-1832).
The 1860 Federal Census data for these five Mayfield households are shown below. All of the Mayfield households are above average in wealth.

Brad Gibbons Photography
I love photography. I love the artistic possibilities it allows. I like to be different from the regular cookie-cutter photographers out there. I care about fashion and style and take pride in being called a Metrosexual.
I believe I am fun to be around and love the interaction with people as much as I love taking their photos.
I am currently a part-time photographer with hopes to turn it into my full-time job.
I am looking to attract the more stylish, artistic client. I want clients who care about what goes into making something unique. I want clients who like to keep current and "hip" and don't mind spending a few dollars to make it happen.
More Volkswagen Jetta, less Ford Taurus
More iPhone or BlackBerry, less the old flip phone
More Mad Men and Dexter, less Two and a Half Men and According to Jim
More Malbec red wine, less Rosé wine
More GQ and Vogue, less Maxim and People
More Day at the Art Gallery, less Monster Truck Pull
The challenge for my business is that I have such a wide range of clients: weddings, maternity, babies, models, headshots, family portraits etc.
1. I would love to have the logo incorporate an icon of some sort... perhaps the initials of the company (BGP)? I would love to see what else you might have in mind though. Just no photography elements in the icon (i.e., a camera, filmstrip etc).
2. Nothing too elegant - I don't want to look like a hotel chain. No giant flourishes etc. Simple design.
3. The typeface should be clear and simple. I am a huge fan of Helvetica. I would love the whole name to be in lowercase (brad gibbons photography).
4. Colour choice is pretty simple: black, gray and white. The website will be a white background so logo text should be black and gray. If an accent colour is needed, I'm a fan of a deep red (R179 G39 B10 for example) but I am open to the accent colour options. I wouldn't mind seeing options in case I go with a black background for the website.
5. Actually, if you can come up with a colour scheme that isn't black/white/gray, I'd love to see it. Surprise me!!
Just for your reference, here is a look at what my current logo looks like:
The files I will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

So, this starts in a non-fluffy place. Lord Saletan wrote this asinine-even-for-him essay claiming that pregnant women who refer to the sweet little parasites in their wombs as "fetuses" instead of "babies" run the risk of dehumanizing them so much that they'll end up giving birth and sticking the kid in a freezer. NO SERIOUSLY HE DID. (Note: Yes, that was a tasteless way of referring to a true, tragic story. Fair warning, the post only gets worse in that regard later on. It's a laugh-so-you-don't-cry thing, but surely not something everyone will want to read.)
Fortunately, my fellow broad Tracy Clark-Flory took it down so we didn't have to:
It seems to me that Saletan is irresponsibly conflating pregnancy denial with philosophical beliefs about abortion and fetuses' personhood. A woman who is considering an abortion can maintain a minor level of disconnection from the fetus, refuse to call it a baby and yet still be able to acknowledge that there is life there. She can do all of this even after having an ultrasound, as Saletan instructs women to do. It's more complicated than willing herself to see only what she wants to see: People have very different scientific, philosophical, political and religious ideas about when a fetus becomes a baby or a person. Couples often have very different independent experiences of a pregnancy's "realness," and early on in a pregnancy, so much of the significance of the word baby is parental projection. But Saletan assumes that his definition of personhood is The Truth with which women must reckon.
Really, that last line is all that ever needs to be said about William Saletan.
Anyway, this led to a g-chat between Fillyjonk and me, and since y'all seemed to enjoy that before, I thought I'd share.

Brilliant raspberry-toned metallic foliage darkens to purple pink in summer. A refreshing see-through edger, the airy tall sprays of white bells allow a view of the plants behind. Impressive heat and humidity tolerance.
An award winner, Heuchera Berry Smoothie was a visitor favorite in the 3-year trials at the Mt. Cuba Center Botanical Garden.
Heuchera make excellent border plants with their nearly evergreen foliage in neat clumps. Dainty flowers are held aloft on airy stems May through July. These versatile perennials can be used in a shady courtyard pot or as a groundcover under deciduous trees. Prefers average to moist soil conditions.
Benefits from deadheading. Watch for frost heaving - mulch can help. In cold climates, winter mulch applied after the ground freezes will help prevent root heaving. It keeps the mature crown in contact with the soil and keeps the soil moist in the summer as well. Must have good drainage over the winter, though, so don't over-do the overwintering mulching. Shear off any damaged leaves in early spring to make room for new foliage. Can be divided every 3 years in spring.

I've been talking to David more in the past few weeks than we have in the past few years. I like talking to him. He's intelligent, funny, and we share a way of thinking. We know each other in a way I don't know other people, or allow myself to be known. Somehow it's always just been this way. Easy, and challenging. Our conversations make me think….and feel.
Today I was left with the question: How would I experience the world if I was the adult I would be had I never experienced childhood trauma?
I spent a lot of time locked in my room, trying to not hear the sound of my mother being pushed down the stairs by my father. A lot of time locked in my head, trying to ignore the yelling – or the silences, as these polar opposites were the hallmarks of my childhood. I didn't experience a lot of the middle ground when I was a kid.
But then the thought occured to me that I've had a thousand times, and I know you have too: if I'd never experienced what I have, I wouldn't be me. And while I have my rusty parts, my terrified parts, my cranky parts – on the whole I like me. So how to move forward?
It's a fool's game to try to change the past, to wish things away or into existence. We just can't do it.
But you know, I think maybe, just maybe, we have the best of both worlds. We get to have learned from our pasts, but we also have the chance to build on that. Everything seems to be a pretty delicate balance, and for me, learning to stay somewhere in the middle has been hard.
I try to be graceful – my experience with a disordered father has allowed me a sensitivity to other people's pain I might not have known otherwise. I have strong intuition and instincts because I needed them when I was a kid. I am grateful for these gifts….though of course I've had some unwanted gifts. A fear of my own creativity, of taking risks. A fear of standing up to people, lest I get punished in some inexplicable way.
We all have our hurting places. We all think we are the only one to have these secret doubts and black places, but that's bullshit. We all have them. But I think we all have the potential to try to learn new ways of being, to try to be our deepest, most authentic self – yes, the person we would be if we were not scarred by our pasts. It is hard work. It is grueling, painful, and sometimes joyful.
I have gone through cycles of extreme growth, and lately I've been stuck in period of grey sameness. It's been cold, muddy, mostly lonely. Perhaps this conversation, my watching a friend as he tries to force his way out of a concrete cocoon, will be my inspiration to start over.
