Denise Prince Martin: Things I Never Told You
Presented by Women and Their Work at Women and Their Work
May 17 - June 23, 2007
Women & Their Work proudly presents Things I Never Told You, a solo photography exhibition by Austin based artist, Denise Prince Martin. If a picture is worth a thousand words, Prince Martin's series of women is a veritable library. Each image has the same structure, a woman in an environment holding an object. Within this framework, Prince Martin orchestrates lush narratives that hinge on the playful and absurd. These women represent more than themselves; they each tell a tale that explores the complexity of women's lives and their portrayal in popular culture.

Subject: Blocking Web addresses
Hello, I am looking for a solution to control the ability of blocking
websites, or shall I say block all and allow certain authorised websites. I
like the compactness of M0N0Wall, and I am wondering if there is a way of
doing this with this system. Any ideas?

TORONTO – Toronto FC's most important game of the year could also be their toughest task yet.
The Reds will be missing three key players when they take the field in the CONCACAF Champions League against Pumas UNAM on Tuesday (8 pm ET, Fox Soccer), a fact that could hinder the club's chances at advancing out of the group stage.
Midfielders Torsten Frings and Terry Dunfield and defender Mikael Yourassowsky are all suspended for the match due to yellow-card accumulation in the tournament, and TFC are in dire need of points with just two games left in the group stage.
"If one player is suspended, OK, but now you've got three players and that's too much," head coach and technical director Aron Winter said Monday at BMO Field.
Suspensions or not, the Reds face a Pumas team that thrashed them 4-0 earlier in the tournament in Mexico and currently lead Group C with seven points through four games. TFC head into the match third in the group with six points, coming off a win over Panamanian side Tauro FC last week.
"Everybody knows the importance of the game," Winter said. "And everybody knows that we have to get a good result and we have to prepare ourselves very well."
Given the suspensions, Winter said that he'll likely give a number of players a start who might not normally see time in MLS regular-season play. The club is also without Joao Plata (hamstring) and Eric Avila, who is cup-tied with FC Dallas and cannot play in the tournament.
"It's going to be a difficult task, especially with players missing," defender Richard Eckersley said. "We're at home, we've got to dominate them, we've got to show them that it is our ground."
Said defender Any Iro: "Obviously any time you lose 4-0 to a team you want some payback of some sort. I think we're going to play it slightly different than how we did down there."
TFC finish their Group C schedule at Dallas on Oct. 18.
"I think if we can get a good result it puts us in really a strong position going into Dallas," Iro said. "I think the main thing is, we want to go into that last game and know what we have to do, and not rely on other results."

Couldn't help but notice that a lot of you guys on the forums don't have the exclusive check as a badge. I'm assuming it means that it means that you have music on other sites.
I know mentioning other sites is against the rules and I'm not asking for that. Frankly, anyone with computer access really should have no trouble finding out who the competition is. But I would like to know why you guys chose to do so and if it's worth it.
You see, on my end I am feeling rather wary about moving over to other sites as I am scared of losing out on potential earnings here (33% that doesn't rise sounds a bit scary compared to a 50%+). At the same time I also want to make a lot of money for the artists I'm working with. Now I know my account shows that I haven't been here too long and my sales are pretty weak but I must admit that aside from an initial push we haven't uploaded much here, but I am planning future strategies and am just interested.
Have your outside earnings truly proven to be worth the while for you to leave here?
Is it worth the additional work that is joining, uploading to, and maintaining other sites?
As for me, this is my thinking as to why I haven't decided to go non-exclusive (so far). It seems AudioJungle is the cheapest place in the market (I've read the forums complaining about the prices here) so why would anyone else want to buy from other sites? Yes, often they have more "veteran" producers and they are stricter with their standards, but some of those places sell tracks for triple the price of here. Also, the "best" stuff here is just as good as the stuff on the more expensive sites. Why anyone would shop elsewhere is a mystery to me. And in that respect I'm assuming that eventually AudioJungle will begin to crush the competition and soon it will be one of the last shops on the street (as in, the dominant music stock website), so I might as well stay exclusive.
Again, I am a bit of a rookie here so I apologise if I made some vast assumptions. I would LOVE it if someone could clear this up for me…
You can make a second account and go non-exclusive and try yourself I started AJ as non-exclusive because I already had my stuff on other sites. Now I have 2 accounts non-exclusive and exclusive. But I must say that AJ is the place that gives much more sale than others..
I'm on the non exclusive side, its a fact that there are a few well established sites that sell royalty free music and they are obviously successful and I don't believe you should put all your eggs in one basket. Having said that, its all about promotion of your music, so if you choose to sell your music on other sites you will need to promote that site as well which can involve more work which some musos wont want to do. Since I joined audiojungle, I have made more sales here that other sites but I have promoted my tracks here more than other sites.
Hi CobaltLeaf,
Thought I'd throw some light on the subject. This, incidentally is something that's been discussed quite a few times in the past on these forums. However, back then I was still an exclusive author here, and last July I decided I wanted to work full-time as a composer and made the leap over to non-exclusive status.
The decision to be exclusive or non-exclusive all really boils down to how you want to work and how you want your music/effects to work for you. Somebody who has limited time to write, produce and upload material will most likely be better off with sticking with one site and remaining exclusive.
However, if one is looking to 'earn a living' from royalty-free stock music marketplaces (such as myself), then it would only make sense to do a bit of research (not naming any sites! ;)) and spread that material around the internet, thus gaining a wider 'catchment area', so to speak. The payoff being that you'll have a lot more admin, uploading, tagging, promotion, etc to contend with. But that's all part of the job, if doing it full time.
Sure, there are window shoppers who do look around for the same track cheaper elsewhere, but it's not just the price that has an influence. The scope of the stock music buyer is quite wide and there are a few variables at play. Some buyers may work for a company who will only use one site, or maybe the required usage license they need is only available from a certain site – that the less expensive site is unable to offer. Or more simply, maybe people are unaware of the choice or just can't be bothered to shop around to save a few dollars, as RF stock music is generally regarded as low-priced anyway.
Also, as I mentioned on another thread recently, sales go up and down everywhere, so when there are low sales on one site, the others will provide, and vise versa.
I'm still in my first year of my non-exclusive venture, and it's going pretty well so far, and I've now been able to put back into my business (buying new kit, software, etc) in order to increase the quality of my material. So, for me at least, it has been worth it.
Strictly speaking from my own experiences, there are many many ponds to fish at, but only few contain actual fish.
Find out where the majority of buyers are and concentrate your efforts there. There are other marketplaces worth checking out, but not many. You have to be very selective and choose wisely where to concentrate your efforts or very hard work will produce little results.
Also, I am not sure if the pictures of women on each of your songs will help to sell your music very well , just sayin. People are visual, but when it comes to audio you run the risk of actually making your account look less professional.
All the best to ya!

+1 for all three blocks
@AlumoAudio. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and views, you're always very honest and detailed in your posts and I really appreciate that. I've always found your comments very intelligent, educational and thorough and I really am grateful you've been answering my questions. May I also say bravo for taking the leap of faith into becoming a full time composer. I've been listening to your stuff for a while and may I say you are very talented and I think that it is definitely the path for you!
@TimMcmorris. Thanks so much for the advice. Getting advice from the top seller here was a huge and unexpected surprise! Even though I am a musician, as far as CobaltLeaf goes I act more as a businessman/marketer/manager. This explains the unorthodox risks I've been taking (especially with the women's pictures as advertising) but I have found that generally the music I'm trying to push isn't the best for AudioJungle and no amount of gimmicks is going to sell for me. Anyway, I really love your work and being a New Englander I have to give you a big thanks and thumbs up for doing the Sam Adams commercial!
Hey CobaltLeaf,
This has come up a few times, so I thought I'd do a trip down memory lane and search for a few of these threads. I could swear there are more but here are some historical ones that touch on the subject:http://audiojungle.net/forums/thread/is-it-worth-to-go-nonexclusive/65989?page=1#582824
Short answer from me is that it's still worth it revenue wise to be non-exclusive, even though I'm nearing the would-be 70% commission mark. Without going into too much detail, AJ represents a little less than a third of my total income last year from my RF tracks. Besides existing marketplaces that bring in revenue now, marketplaces seem to be opening frequently as people are becoming aware of the demand for stock audio so there is an argument for having a ton of available tracks to go in with. Truly, a high percentage of them are rubbish, so you will spin your wheels. And the maintenance of all the sites can be overwhelming.
Obviously Tim has a great point – having one place where there are buyers and laser focusing your marketing efforts is very powerful. And if you're going to do that, I haven't seen a site better than AudioJungle as far as the ability of authors to promote themselves. On some sites you feel pretty anonymous.
I actually have chosen the non-exclusive route because I don't have the kind of SEO and marketing skills (or motivation to do such things), so I spread my songs out widely and let the various sites market them. I'm not saying this is the best approach for everybody (or even for me for that matter), but it's about what I can manage at this point.

Besides, it's not allowed to use such things, if it's not yours.
timmcmorris said

Agreed! Also women buy music too you know it might put females off! I think people have got quite savvy to marketing ploys these days! Now a pretty girl (with clothes on ) that the buyer assumes to be you, that might work!
Oh and I say dangle your rod in a few ponds x

Jude Law Takes the Kids to King Road Cafe
Posted Saturday January 5, 2013 11:37 AM GMT
Taking the kids out to lunch before their winter break ends, Jude Law headed to King Road Cafe in West Hollywood on Thursday (January 3).
The "Anna Karenina" star was dressed casually in a black long-sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and a beanie as he headed back to his chauffeured vehicle with Iris and Rudy.
Soon, fans will be able to see the 40-year-old actor star in the upcoming 2013 crime flick, "Don Hemingway," in which he'll play the title character.
The story follows notorious safe-cracker Dom Hemingway, back on the streets of London looking to collect what he's owed after spending 12 years in prison.

About Me"A dream is only a dream if you don't take the steps to make it a reality!"
Here is the link to my main page: http://www.modelmayhem.com/daydreamingmodel
***Important note: I have 16 tattoos, four of them are quite large (meaning it takes up my side and my back, shoulder and part of my arm), however the others are kind of small, with the exception of the one on my left thigh. I have on desire to hide my art or I would not have gotten it. Please keep this in mind if you are interested in shooting with me. Another thing to think about is the fact I sometimes want to have an escort.
Hello! Welcome to my portfolio!
Anyways, a little about me. I am 29 almost 30 years old, and I really enjoy modeling. Granted we all have our flaws, but that is what makes us our own person!
I am looking to expand my portfolio, so I do time for cds/prints. Most of the work I have done has been in Glamor, Fashion, and things like that. I want to expand, and learn more things when it comes to this business, so lets see if we can help one another out!
A few more talents that I have are that I sing and I write. Mainly poetry, but I have had a few turned into songs. I am in the process of getting a book published, so maybe one day I will be a well known poet! Right now, I just want to get my modeling up and going!
Also, I am married with 4 girls and 3 step sons. Please, don't use that as an excuse not to shoot with me!
I have obtained my AS and BS Degree in Law Enforcement and have a Master's in Forensic Psychology. I work very hard, and modeling it something I enjoy doing on the side.
Any questions? If so, don't be afraid to ask! I don't bite to hard!!

Brielle Luna was born on Monday 10/10. 6lb 11oz. We made it to the hospital just in time. We arrived at 7am and she was born at 8:46am.
On Sunday morning, I slipped and fell. I hit my belly on the corner of the bed. I started having some heavy contractions immediately after for about 20 minutes. My belly didn't hurt and I only felt silly for falling so I didn't call the doctor. A few hours later, I lost my mucus plug so I decided to call the doctor and explain about the fall and the lost mucus plug. She told us to head to L&D to be checked out.
At L&D, everything was fine with the baby. I was dilated to 2 and was having light contractions. The doc gave me the option of staying or going home. I chose to go home. We left the hospital Sunday night at 8pm. By 5am, the contractions were about 6 minutes apart. They weren't unbearable and I was able to talk through them so I decided to take a shower and see if they moved any closer together. The shower felt so good, I stayed in for about 20 minutes until I realized the contractions seemed to have moved closer together. When I timed them again, they were 4 minutes apart.
I called the OB to let them know we were headed back to L&D and we got our bags in the car and headed to the hospital. We didn't have to worry about DS because he was already at my parents house for an overnight stay.
We got to the hospital at 7am and they had us sit and wait downstairs to process us. I don't understand why we pre-registered if we had to register again once we got there. The waiting area was packed full of people waiting for surgical procedures. After waiting for 20 minutes, I told DH to let them know we were going to be having a baby in the waiting area if they did not get us up to L&D immediately. Contractions were almost back to back by this time.
We finally got into a room at 7:30am. Doc came in and checked me at 8am. I was 4 cm dilated but the contractions were coming on strong and there was really no break in between them. At 8:30am, the doc checked and I was 8cm dilated. He walked out the door and I turned to my side to get more comfortable. My water broke and I told the nurse, "I need to push." The doctor came back in and asked if I was sure since he had just checked me. I told him my body was pushing and it was time. He checked and I was 10 cm and the baby's head was right there. Six pushes later and Brielle was born at 8:46am.

Every cell in the body stems from just one cell: the fertilized egg.
Every cell contains the same library of instructions, but the cells read and use different genetic chapters.
Reading Chapters from the Genome
Every cell in the body contains all of the DNA sequence, but the composition of each cell depends on which sections of the DNA are used. We know that each cell reads only those chapters from the library of instructions that it needs. The selective reading process creates many different kinds of cells, such as skin, muscle, neural, and bone cells, all of which develop from the many cells of the embryo produced by the growth and division of one cell: the fertilized egg. Studies of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, have been useful in revealing how organisms develop these cell types, with each cell knowing what chapters to read according to its position in the developing embryo.
Grassroots Cooperation
The human body has between 50 and 100 trillion cells and no single cell is in charge. Throughout a lifetime, each cell interacts with many other cells to determine which instructions to use at a particular time and place.

2 Sundays ago, Emma and I went to the "Fleatique" in Hannastown. It was HUGE! I got Matt his Father's Day gift there, which was an old German Beer Stein. He loved it. He jokingly said all he wants for Father's Day was flowers, because that is what I said about Mother's Day... so he got flowers!
I also snagged some fun stuff at the fleatique... an apron, buttons, a floral frog... love it!
Here's the fleatique:
and the aprons... this was a clever display because I was drawn right to them!!
Another great display were these vintage buttons... she color coordinated them... I could have kissed her! LOL! I hope she's there next time, I'd like more please! :)
And, what I came home with:
I just love the apron.
Stay tuned for more vintagey goodness. Have a great Monday.

Depression Counselor
Michelle Pressma, LICSW
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
825 Broadway, Raynham, Massachusetts
A common understanding is that depression is anger turned inward. I help the client understand the sources of their depression, both biological and environmental, and build on their strengths as well as build new sources of identity to cope with the depression. In this process I am helping them create a toolbox to survive difficult emotion and strengthen their core self. This might include mindfulness work, grief work, reframing their personal narratives, coaching around new life habits and activities, learning how to set small goals for themselves, and examining the typical roles they play in their relationships, including the examination of these typical roles for satisfaction.
Depression Counselor
Carol Garfinkle, Psy.D.
Clinical Psychologist
275 Turnpike Street, Canton, Massachusetts
While external circumstances and biology definitely can affect our moods, so can our underlying beliefs about ourselves and our relationships. My goal is to teach people how to explore their feelings without being overwhelmed by them. Once we become more connected safely to ourselves, our connection with the external world begins to change too. We may also look at changing diet and exercise, find ways to balance work, play and rest so you can feel replenished and nurture what is meaningful in your life.

Repression and suppression=depression. Whether your depression is rooted in recent trauma, or has been a long term challenge, assessing how you feel, determining your triggers, and developing coping strategies with the help of a caring, experienced professional will make the difference in your quality of life. Combining psychotherapy and hypnosis is sometimes the key to changing the way that you look at life. I can help.

Most of therapy or counseling processes utilize validation, unconditional positive regard, and reframing as common techniques to get someone to heal from their depression. Though this can be helpful, it rarely fixes the core problem behind it and for tough cases we then refer them usually to a psychiatrist for medication which can have tons of side effects. Instead, why not try a natural and arguably more effective way to not just change your mind, but change the brain--where the depression is rooted. Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

As the population grows over the next 20 years, demand
for freshwater is expected to increase by 26% to 9 billion
gallons per day -- approximately 1.8 billion gallons more
than we currently use. Protecting our natural resources,
while meeting this growing demand, is essential to
sustaining a healthy environment and a vibrant economy.
During drought, effective and equitable water management is
even more important because the lack of rain reduces the
available supply of water, while demand - particularly for
lawn watering and crop irrigation - increases.
Florida's water management system includes various
partners that work together to protect water resources,
develop these resources for use, allocate the water among
groups of users, and distribute the water from source to
Prompted by a severe drought in 1970 and 1971,
policymakers adopted a broad, statewide approach designed to
protect and allocate Florida's water. The Water Resources
Act of 1972 created five water management districts to
regulate the use of water by large-scale consumers, such as
public utilities, agriculture and industry.
Working under the general supervision of the Department
of Environmental Protection, the Water Management Districts
are responsible for allocating water within their designated
regions as well as developing and implementing effective
plans to minimize and manage the effects of droughts and
floods. Getting the water from the source to your faucet is
the responsibility of regional water authorities and local
In addition to overseeing the Water Management Districts,
the Department of Environmental Protection's primary
responsibilities are to restore, maintain, and protect the
quality of water resources, as well as promote the
development of new sources of water, such as seawater
desalination. This work requires the use of each of the
primary management strategies available to the Department.
In Florida, water is a public resource. Like the air we
breathe, water cannot be privately owned. That's why it's
important for all Floridians to conserve water, use water
efficiently, and take measures to prevent pollution of our
state's water supplies.
Many of these conservation practices are voluntary.
However, in times of drought some water restrictions are
mandatory. Water management districts can set water
restrictions and local governments have the right to impose
even stronger restrictions. If your local government does
not have its own restrictions, follow those of your water
management district.

Florida's Watersheds: Water's natural boundaries are commonly
identified as watersheds. A watershed is an area of land that
acts as a basin for the water flowing and draining within it.
Watersheds include water on the surface, such as lakes and
rivers, as well as the water flowing underground in springs and
aquifers. If water follows natural boundaries, then water
resource protection and management should be organized and
coordinated along natural boundaries. A watershed management
approach does just that. The Department of Environmental
Protection plans and implements many of its water resource
protection functions by major watersheds.
Florida's Ecosystems: Natural systems, particularly wetland
ecosystems, can ease the extreme effects of droughts and floods.
Originally, more than half of the state was covered by wetlands.
The most recognized wetland ecosystem in America is the
Everglades - The River of Grass. Wetland ecosystems (including
swamps, marshes, bayheads, bogs, cypress domes and strands,
sloughs, wet prairies, mangrove swamps, ponds, lakes, creeks,
streams and rivers) not only help regulate water flow, but
provide a myriad of economic, ecological and aesthetic benefits.
Protecting and preserving these natural systems helps generate
benefits that we eat, drink and breathe on a daily basis.
Florida's Department of Environmental Protection works with the
Water Management Districts to protect and restore Florida's
wetland systems - from the Everglades to Lake Apopka to the
Upper Basin of the St. Johns River to the Panhandle and Tate's
Hell Swamp.
Florida's Lakes: Florida has more than 7,500 freshwater
lakes, including the second largest inland lake in the country -
Lake Okeechobee. Lakes sustain an abundant and diverse
assortment of aquatic plant and animal species and provide ideal
spots for people to swim, fish, and enjoy nature. During
drought, water levels in lakes can drop significantly, and some
can even dry up completely. While low water levels can cause a
decline in plants and wildlife, many are adapted to the cycle of
drought. In fact, periodic dry spells can benefit the life of a
lake - keeping it healthier and living longer. The Department of
Environmental Protection developed one of the first and best new
approaches in the country for identifying and cleaning up water
pollution. Known as the Impaired Waters Rule, the Department
identifies polluted water bodies and then directs resources to
clean the dirtiest water bodies first. As part of that effort,
the Department establishes Total Daily Maximum Loads (TMDL),
which is the maximum amount of pollutant a water body can
receive and continue to meet water quality standards. DEP also
works with the Water Management Districts and local governments
to monitor water quality and perform biological assessments, as
well as develop and implement protection plans.
Florida's Springs: Florida has over 600 freshwater springs.
Most of Florida's springs are located in the northern half of
the state. They originate from the Floridian aquifer - a natural
underground reservoir that supply close to 90% of the state's
drinking water. Florida has 33 "first magnitude" springs, more
than any other state in the country, producing 64.6 million
gallons of water per day. Nearly 9 billion gallons of water flow
out of Florida's springs every day. In 2000, the Department of
Environmental Protection implemented an initiative to coordinate
existing programs to maximize agency efforts to restore and
preserve the state's freshwater springs. The Florida Springs
Initiative applies a combination of strategies designed to meet
the needs of each site, including regulation, monitoring and
research, land acquisition and restoration, and education.
Florida's Aquifers: Freshwater - both on the surface and in
the ground - is Florida's lifeblood. Surface water, such as
streams and lakes, provide scenic beauty, recreation, and water
for industry and irrigation. Ground water lies unseen beneath
the land in huge reservoirs contained in layers of porous
underground rock called aquifers. More than 90% of the state's
freshwater supply is pumped from ground water aquifers. Aquifers
are natural reservoirs. The Florida Department of Environmental
Protection promotes natural recharge of these reservoirs and
ensures that supplemental storage does not adversely affect this
underground environment.
Florida's Estuaries: Brackish water is the mixture of
freshwater and seawater. In Florida, brackish water is found
naturally - above ground in estuaries (the mouth of rivers) and
below the ground in aquifers. During drought, less rain means
less freshwater moving from the land toward the ocean. This
allows saltwater from the ocean to move inland, farther up
rivers and deeper into aquifers. This mixing zone of fresh and
saltwater in coastal estuaries and aquifers is the front line in
the protection of coastal freshwater resources. Natural systems
like coastal wetlands help prevent saltwater intrusion. The
storage and percolation of freshwater in these areas helps
counter the encroachment of saltwater from the ocean or from
below. Under the state's $3 billion land conservation program,
Florida Forever, the Department protects large expanses of
natural areas where rainwater can permeate the ground to
naturally replenish aquifers. These include aquifer recharge
areas and coastal wetlands.

June 4 started out as just another clear, beautiful day for the 9-year-old gelding Gander at Better Days Farm in Bedford Hills, N.Y. Located in the heart of Westchester County and run by Sue Vitro, the farm had been home to the horse since last December, following recovery from surgery by Dr. Alan Nixon at Cornell University, who his life after Gander broke the short pastern bone in his left foreleg during a morning breeze at Saratoga Sept. 1.Until that time, the freakishly fast, game, Gander had thrilled many fans from New England to New York and beyond, a winner of 15 races from 60 starts with more than $1.8 million in earnings. The son of Cormorant out of the mare Lovely Nurse was bought by Ted and Michael Gatsas of New Hampshire at the behest of their trainer, Charley Assimakopoulos at the Ocala Breeders Sales Co.'s 1998 March sale for $50,000. Gander was named New York-bred horse of the year in 2000, champion 3-year-old colt in 1999, and champion older horse in 2000, 2001, and 2002.The Gatsas family, including Michael's son and daughter, Matthew and Amanda, who run the day-to-day operations of Sovereign Stables, were determined to bring their pride and joy home safely.
It happened June 5, when Gander was vanned from Better Days to Runnymede Farm in North Hampton, N.H., not far from the Gatsas' residences in Manchester. Gander will become the paddock mate of another champion, Peter Fuller's Mom's Command, winner of the 1985 New York Filly Triple Crown. Twenty-three-year-old Mom's Command has been pensioned at the farm since Thanksgiving.When Vitro's assistant, Heidi Fisher, who has been taking care of Gander since December, brought her charge in from his paddock for a bath that Saturday afternoon, then put him in his stall with a sheet over his torso to keep him clean should he decide to roll, the gelding could sense something was amiss. This never was part of his routine.The following morning, following feeding, when he wasn't put out into the paddock, Gander knew that this day would not be normal.
"He loves to roll," said Vitro. "If we let him back out into the paddock, he'd be black by the time we got him on the van to New Hampshire at 9 a.m."Instead, Fisher put front bandages on her favorite, wrapped his halter like he was still a racehorse, and said good-bye.
Ironically, Better Days Farm was formerly named Tanrackin Farm, home to the first New York-bred gelding to put the breeding program on the map. That was Win, owned by Paul Cornman. Currently, Gander stands third among all New York breds in career earnings, behind Funny Cide and Say Florida Sandy.Ted, a State Senator in New Hampshire, remembered how close to death Gander was at two, with a high fever and some lung problems.As for the race most remembered, Ted says it was the Saratoga Breeders' Cup in 2002, when Gander stumbled out of the gate, throwing rider Mike Smith. "When he crossed the finish line, rider less, in first place," smiled Gatsas, "it was incredible the applause he was getting from the Saratoga crowd. I'll never forget it."As for Michael, the 2000 Breeders' Cup Classic at Churchill Downs stands out, though Gander finished ninth after getting a call at the top of the stretch. "We had to supplement him for close to $400,000 because he was not originally nominated, but for two guys from New Hampshire to be able to walk behind the horse as he came to the track, with family, friends, our early trainer Charley Assimakopoulos, you can't put a price on that."

CST Brands donates to Muscular Dystrophy Association
Updated 10:37 am, Wednesday, May 8, 2013
Customers and employees at CST Brands Inc.'s Corner Stores raised a record $2.3 million for the Muscular Dystrophy Association as part of an annual fundraising drive. The money raised represents a 9.7 percent increase over last year's total.
Over the last 26 years, Corner Stores have raised $22 million for the association.
The donations — in amounts ranging from $1 to $5 — will help support research and treatment for people with muscular dystrophy and contribute to summer camps for children fighting the disease.
Muscular dystrophy is a group of inherited neuromuscular diseases that cause weakness and the wasting away of muscle tissue. There isn't a cure, but treatment can help improve quality of life.

Please note: If a minimum number of guests are stated, we can unfortunately not respond to an inquiry for less than the required minimum.
This is a true wilderness experience, but camping in style. A safari to be regarded as a wilderness adventure, from start to finish. Although accommodation for the greater part of this safari will be camping, it is serviced camping, consisting of walk-in tents with beds, duvets and pillows. The main camp features a campfire, dining table and chairs, with full crockery and cutlery, refrigerators, cold drinks, and freshly prepared meals. Hot showers and Eco-friendly toilets are set up, and not a trace of the camp's presence is left behind after departure. All camps are pitched by an experienced back-up team in advance, set in pristine wilderness, with not a soul in sight, in some of the most remote places in the country.
This adventure safari combines wildlife viewing, birding, Flora, geography, archaeology and traditional, contemporary life, with a little history of the earliest pioneers added, for a rich array of true African experiences. An adventure safari in an area of wild beauty, abundant wildlife and fascinating people.
Some of the highlights to expect in the rugged northwest of Namibia, will be encountering our famous but elusive desert-adapted Elephants; Gemsbok (Oryx), and unexpected sightings of a variety of wildlife, plus a myriad birdlife. Subject to time of year (season), not only the Epupa Waterfall, but also the Ruacana Falls on the Kunene River may be viewed. The traditional, ochre-colored Ova-Himba nomads have made the Kaokoveld their home for at least the last three centuries, and hardly – if ever – leave the area.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Meet your host at Namibia's International airport. Transfer to the peaceful setting of a Game Camp on the outskirts of Windhoek to relax from the long flight and acclimatize to Namibia. Includes: (D).
Day 2: As you experience the change in landscape, stop for lunch en-route. Your first overnight stop is in the shadow of the highest mountain peak in Namibia – the Brandberg of Damaraland. You might end your day with a sundowners drive, or join a nature drive, in search of our elusive Desert Elephants, should the drive be available on the date of your arrival. Nonetheless, there will be ample opportunity to view the Elephants during the remainder of this safari. Includes: (B, L & D).
Day 3: Moving into the rugged Damaraland wilderness, enjoy this pristine landscape, past an old, restored German Fort, used as a police outpost during early German occupation, to arrive at a safari lodge in the heart of Damaraland. Relax during the late afternoon until dinner, before retiring to your comfortable, en-suite safari tent. Includes: (B, L & D).
Days 4 to 10: After a leisurely morning, depart from the lodge with a guide and back-up staff, travelling north to the only town in Kaokoland, Opuwo. Mix with the Himba and Herero women in this bustling market town, before continuing to Ruacana and your first camp on the banks of the Kunene River. After breakfast the next morning, drive west along the river towards Swartbooisdrift and visit a monument in honour of the earliest pioneers, the Dorsland Trekkers (The Thirst land Trekkers), en-route to your next camp on the banks of the Kunene River. The next morning, drive through spectacular scenery, enjoying the palm trees along the banks of the river.
There is always the possibility of sighting crocodiles and many interesting bird species. Arrive at Epupa Falls and end your day by enjoying sundowners at the observation point, overlooking the Falls. A very popular riverside lodge will be your accommodation tonight, just a few metres from the falls. This was your last night in the "tame" area of this wilderness, the next day you head further west into the most remote part of the region. Past the very small settlement of Otjitanda, drive on rough tracks until you begin to traverse the Van Zijl's Pass in the Otjihipa Mountains. Wild camping tonight on a ridge overlooking the Marienfluss, to enjoy what is, arguably, the finest view in Africa.
From here you descend into the Marienfluss and drive north to reach your next campsite on the Kunene River – much further downstream. The following day will produce utter speechlessness as you drive through the endless expanse of the Hartmann's Valley, where Gemsbok (Oryx) completes the picture in this harsh but beautiful environment. Return via the "Red Drum" to camp at the Khumib River. Your last night's camping will end at the interesting settlement of Purros, after a day-long drive via the Hoarusib riverbed, one of the "highways" used by the Desert Elephants. Includes: (B, L & D – every day).
Day 11: On the morning of your last day on this wilderness adventure, drive up the Hoanib River, yet again searching for the Elephants – and whatever other wildlife crosses your path - past the old Fort at Sesfontein, and back to your base lodge for a well-deserved and welcome rest in your safari tent. Includes: (B, L & D).
Day 12: A leisurely breakfast and slow start today. Before entirely leaving the northern areas of the Kaokoveld behind, today is the stop-over at the promised Cheetah Conservation Farm - and bush bar. If possible, arrangements will be made for an invitation to the farmstead where you can view and have some inter-action with a few semi-tame Cheetahs. Excellent opportunity for close-up photography! Includes: (B, L & D).
Day 13: The day had arrived to leave the Kaokoveld, albeit reluctantly, and return to Windhoek. At least we won't "remove" you from the wilderness, and simply "dump" you into civilization. Your venue tonight is a Game Ranch en-route to the airport. Should you feel up to it, the owners offer a scenic nature drive, where you may have a final view of our sunset on this, your last night in Namibia, Africa. Includes: (B, L & D).
Day 14: No more can be fitted into these 14 days and, subject to flight departure time, you may have the morning to relax, sort out your luggage, or finish the last few exposures on a spool of film, or space on a memory card. Transfer to Namibia's International airport to arrive in time for your departure flight. Includes: (B, Lunch will be subject to flight schedule).
Note: Days 1 and 14 will always be subject to flight schedule, and may have to be customized to same.
Member discount:
The minimum quote indicates six guests travelling together, while the maximum is applicable for only two guests travelling alone.

I've baked Rose's scones a dozen times now and they really are the best scones I've ever tasted. No other bakery I've been to uses the puff pastry technique in making scones, and Rose's scones are like a cross between a soft biscuit and a flaky croissant. When they are fresh out of the oven and still warm, they're soft, light, and incredibly flaky (you can hear the crunch when you bite it). However, I've always found that after they have cooled and sat for half a day or more, they lose some of the flakiness and become slightly denser in texture. I cool and store them per Rose's instructions. After they come out of the oven, I wrap them with paper towels and set them on a cooling rack until they are room temperature. Then I store them in an airtight cookie tin. Whatever I do, they just don't retain that fresh out of the oven texture.
Has anyone else had this experience? I love making these scones for people, and they always tell me they're really good. But I know that they didn't experience the scone like I did, unless I invite them to my house and serve it to them fresh out of the oven.

Java, the world's 13th largest island, sits surrounded by the Java Sea, the Straits of Sunda, Bali and Madura and the Indian Ocean.
Jakarta is the capital and the largest city of Indonesia, and apart from the older part of the city, is given mostly to business and government. Top quality hotels and restaurants are under construction in a bid to attract the tourist market. Many visitors are drawn to the traditional markets selling local crafts and domestic products, whilst at the other end of the spectrum, vast shopping malls such as Grand Indonesia and Pacific Place Jakarta offer various imported luxury goods as well as local crafts and textiles using Batik, Songket and Itak cloth for their fashions. Well worth a look.
For those who like adventure, Java is well-placed for the Pacific 'Ring of Fire', and the volcanologists amongst you may wish to explore the craters of some of the most spectacular eruptions as in Gunung Bromo or the newest, Grunung Krakatau, which regularly provides breath-taking displays of fire and steam spitting out from its crater. Java is formed of nearly 40 old volcanoes, and Mount Merapi (9,740ft) is the most active at this time.
At sea level, diving and fishing are pleasurable ways to spend your days, also for the enthusiast, surfing off Grajagan (more for the proficient surfer) and Batu Karas (beginners and upwards) will provide hours of fun.
Built in about 800AD, the vast ruins of Borobudur are one of the most visited historical sites in Indonesia, and a memorable trip it will be, too. They have been restored and are now seen as a shrine for Buddhists worldwide. Borobudur has fascinated professional historians and tourists alike for many years with its bell-like structures (stupa) which enclose statues of Buddha. An intriguing site for both believer and non-believer.

Dina Lohan: Ali's Getting (Home) Schooled
Ali Lohan has been Lindsay Lohan's go-to-girl since her tragic breakup with Sam Ronson a little over a month ago.
This has caused many people to wonder: how is it appropriate for a 15-year-old girl to be spending every day and night with her hard-partying sister? What about school?
Dina Lohan has spoken out on behalf of Ali's education, telling the Daily News, "I'm a firm believer in staying in school but, in the business, it's gotten difficult for Ali to be in school."
She added that traditional school is "a little tougher for Ali,"—in fact, one of the episodes of their not-so-successful reality show Living Lohan focused on how Ali was constantly bullied in school.
As for the rumors that she takes her young daughter to clubs with her, she said they are "asburd." "I don't go to clubs and I wouldn't take a 15-year-old to one."
We're thinking a more appropriate second season title for their show should be "Lying Lohan."

When American designer Henry Dreyfuss began work as a consultant to Bell Telephone Laboratories (BTL) in 1930, he sought simplicity and unity of form in the installations of their equipment. He persuaded BTL to let him work with their engineers, and this collaboration resulted in the 302 telephone of 1937. The unified and balanced form of the 302 replaced the awkward and ungainly shapes of earlier models. Its successor, the 500 of 1949, was a response to the increased post-war demand for telephone service. Since telephones were leased, the new design needed to be easy to service and have an unobtrusive appearance. Manufactured from a less brittle plastic, the 500's handset was lighter, and its shape allowed the user to cradle it against his or her shoulder. Nearly fifty years later, the handset is widely used for public telephones in the United States. The next major innovation, the Trimline (1965), placed all of the controls in the user's hand. Dreyfuss's sensitivity to consumer needs and his desire for a telephone that would suit most home environments guided many of the developments of BTL's equipment.
Telephone, "Model 302", ca. 1937. Designed by Henry Dreyfuss. Museum purchase from the Decorative Arts Association Acquisition Fund. 1994-73-2.

I'm Georgia-born but a California-boy at heart. I am creative, upfront, hard-working, loyal, imaginative, and spontaneous. I am an active person, enjoy anything new and exciting, and am more than willing to try new things. I'm a very good listener and relish deep conversations. I generally think of myself as a fun person, and try to show those around me a good time. I love to make people laugh. I enjoy life and find that there is always something amusing, and at the same time, poignant to gain from any experience. I believe that everyone has a story to tell, and I am interested in hearing yours. I know what I want in life, and I'm willing to put in the work it takes to get it.
I spend a lot of time creating, whether it's writing, drawing, making jewelry or cgi artwork. I feel that there are so many things that I want to create that I'll never have the time to bring all those ideas into the world. But that never stops me from trying.
I'm also a firm believer that learning is a constantly evolving process, and that the more you learn, the more you have to offer to the world. So I'm always in the process of learning something new, and finding new ways to expand my mind and heighten my perspective.
I love 80's music, cheesy movies, planning for the inevitable zombie/robot take-over, reading anything I can get my hands on, pondering how anyone EVER came up with the idea for chain-mail (seriously, its the most eye-crossing, hand-cramping activity in history), debating philosophical or religious ideas, and think that there are few things in life more alluring than intelligent and artistic women. :)
The Fountain, Identity, Boondock Saints, Memento, Requiem For a Dream, Crash, 11:14, In God's Hands, Thank You For Smoking, Meet Bill, Go, Labyrinth, Army of Darkness, Kalifornia, The Usual Suspects, Pathfinder, Deceiver, Inception, The Commitments, Weirdsville, Count of Monte Cristo, INK, The Shape of Things, Closer, Mr. Nobody.
I'm addicted to music, and I mean seriously addicted. I have to have music, of all styles, in my life. Rock, country (though very little), jazz, blues, rap, techno, industrial, pop, punk (I love some good old school punk), world, and basically anything with a beat. Give me a melody or at the very least a message.
As for my favorites? That's a really long list. Since my musical tastes are so varied, I tend to have mix cds in my stereo that befuddle your average listener. Music enhances my life and my imagination, so I like to have a little of everything on hand. But 80's music rocks my world. Here's a few to get you started:
ANYTHING 80's, 30 Seconds to Mars, Delerium, Enigma, Dead Can Dance, My Chemical Romance, AFI, Jonny Lang, Ani DiFranco, Stuck Mojo, Kidney Thieves, Bad Religion, Sublime, Loreena McKennit, Type O Negative, Common Sense, Cold, Atmosphere, The Killers, RA, Poe, Jack Johnson, Rhea's Obsession, Sade, David Bowie, Sevendust, Van Halen, KISS, Sprung Monkey, Tech 9, Agent Orange, Johnny Cash, Silverchair, Violent Femmes, Mono, Henry Rollins Band, Supersuckers, Tapping The Vein, Lords of Acid, Bouncing Souls, The Rolling Stones, Otis Redding, Queen, Peter Gabriel, Jeff Healey Band, Lunachicks, Massive Attack, Lacuna Coil, Deftones, Psychotica, Dropkick Murphys, Zebrahead, The Commitments, Joe Satriani, MC Chris, Sarah McLachlan, Bowling For Soup, Within Temptation....and if I don't stop now, I never will...
Even more fun is my list of bands that should die. But that would require a database beyond my lifetime to create. :)
Firefly, My Name is Earl, Sons of Anarchy, Survivor Man, X-Files, Unsolved Mysteries, Californication, Twin Peaks, The Alaska Experiment, BSG, Deadwood, Carnivale, Spaced, and Dead Like Me. Usually whatever a network will decide to cancel.
Mexican, Italian, sushi, seafood (mmm...scallops), Chinese, Indian, southern-style home cooking, Thai
You have an open mind, love a good conversation, love to laugh, have something clever to share, you have Tiger-blood, or if you are scared of clowns. (I still don't get it... Why clowns?)

The Ontotext Dynamic Semantic Publishing Platform consists of a set of databases, machine learning algorithms, APIs and tools we use to build solutions for news, educational, scientific, academic and other publishers.
At a high level, the platform consists of:
Users are able to search content using key words, phrases, facets and full text search. Behind the scenes we build hybrid queries, powerful SPARQL that queries your content store and the GraphDB™ RDF triplestore simultaneously. We don't compromise performance in production environments that have large volumes of queries, updates and inferences taking place on the database at the same time.
By using semantic knowledge, your internal users and website visitors see the most important and relevant content. This creates a very powerful, compelling user experience leading to higher levels of loyalty and dramatic improvements in authoring time.
Users are able to search content using key words, phrases, facets and full text search.
Our text mining pipelines analyze your text, extract concepts, identify important entity relationships, classify all of your content and disambiguate entities that are similar.
We are able to ingest and normalize content and data from any number of diverse sources.
As users work with the system, Ontotext Dynamic Semantic Publishing platform is constantly learning, remembering and refining responses.
We have combined user profiles, search histories and semantic classifications of data to deliver hyper-contextual results.

Hi! I am 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I had 2 miscarriages,1 at 6 weeks and 1 @ 8 weeks a few years ago.Then we got prego with my son and I was on prometrium for 12 weeks to keep my levels up.The doctor told me when we were prego again to come in and he would put me on the same med. Well, when I discovered I was prego at 4 weeks I called the doctors office.. They drew my blood work and said my levels were great. They were 29.10. They said that was the highest they have ever been and wasn't going to put me on the medicine. My 1st OB app isn't till Dec 28...I'll be 9 weeks roughly then. I'm really nervous and scared bc the medicine was my crutch when I was pregnant with my son. Im trying to keep my failth up and place it in Gods hands. I thought about calling the office around 7 weeks and see if they will check my levels again 2 see how Im progressing.Has anyone had a successful pregnancy after having to take something for a previous pregnancy? Should I have my levels rechecked? Thx

What are party conferences?
They are the annual events where MPs, councillors and activists from the parties gather to hear their political leaders give platform speeches, to debate and vote on policies, discuss political intrigue and party into the night with like-minded souls.
So what actually happens?
Ministers, shadow ministers, frontbenchers and other leading lights in the parties make keynote speeches on the platforms. Some grassroots members also get the chance to speak and vote in many debates. Away from the set-piece debates there are fringe meetings - often in hotels near the conference centre - with more informal speeches and question and answer sessions. And activists crowd the bars, restaurants, dinners and drinks receptions late into the night.
Where are this year's big three conferences?
The Lib Dem conference is from Sunday 17 September to Thursday in Brighton. Labour gathers the following week in Manchester, breaking from the tradition of going to seaside venues. And the Conservatives meet in the first week of October in Bournemouth.
Who goes to them?
It is more than just politicians and party members. At each conference there is a huge exhibition hall where business, industries and other groups have stalls and use the opportunity to raise their profile and lobby political parties. Virtually the entire Westminster journalist corps also decamps to conferences.
What difference can the conferences make?
The extent to which party members and delegates have a say varies between the parties, but it is no longer the case that party members can vote through a policy which the leadership is then obligated to include in their next General Election manifesto. However conference performances can make or break a leader.
What's particularly on the agenda this year?
Leadership will be a dominating factor. It is Tony Blair's last Labour conference as leader - and some want him to go sooner than he plans. And it is David Cameron and Sir Menzies Campbell's first conferences at the helm of the Tories and Lib Dems.
What about policies at Labour?
The trade unions are expected to ensure their concerns on the privatisation of public services, pensions and job losses in manufacturing are debated. Nuclear power and the Trident missile system could also cause controversy.
And for the Lib Dems?
Tax is the big issue for the Lib Dems, with the leadership proposing income tax cuts funded by "green" taxes. There is also huge interest in the reception given to former leader Charles Kennedy.
Will we find out more about Conservative policies?
Quite possibly. The groups set up to advise on Tory policy are likely to give more details of their work, including plans for the NHS. The party will continue to discuss Mr Cameron's efforts to change the Conservatives' image.
Where can I find out more details?
The parties' websites have full details of the agendas. (see the links on the righthand side of this page).
What about other parties' conferences?
The Scottish National Party conference will be held from 11 to 14 October 2006 in Perth. Plaid Cymru's conference will be held in Swansea from 21 to 24 September.
What are these?

Those are the days that make me miss Colorado. Granted Loveland beat all the records and opened this past Wednesday, I have spent way too much time on the Basin not to be completely loyal to it. On that note, I do plan on getting up there this year and look forward to drinking some PBRs on the Beach.

Background Info
Killua Zoldyck was born and raised in Sunagakure. His parents were each great ninja, praised by the Kazekage Jacob Moore himself. They would went on several dangerous missions but they always managed to pull through somehow except for his mother who coincidentally died before his father (>_>). One day however, his father Gutsy Jiraiya disappeared. Killua was however by far the laziest person in Sunagakure, so he didn't go look for him for many days. Eventually the news came that he had been captured from someone from Amegakure called The Avatar Korra. Now with a bad ass name like that, this guy must have been pretty strong or at least that was what Killua assumed. He decided to train himself, and to get much stronger in order to go BLOW UP, DESTROY, AND FUC* UP EVERYTHING IN AME save his father () He trained in Suna with the Kazekages Gaara in lightning and Jacob Moore himself, learning how to wield a sword in the art of Kenjutsu. He then went on a journey to the 5 great ninja nations. He went to Iwagakure, and trained in Fire and water with Tybone, and a poet named Kiritsugu. His next destination was Kirigakure, here he trained with a man named Sharingdork(who by the way spoiled Mystogan from Fairy Tail >_>) he trained in the Earth element with him. His next stop was the Leaf village. He trained with the head of the Nara family Oasis Nara in the art of Shadows, -Cobalt- in wind, and Yuskue in Ninjutsu. He then arrived in Kumogakure, he found absolutely nothing intresting so he simply mooned the entire village, gave them the middle finger, and left. Finally, he had arrived in Ame. He found the rain depressing, the industry reminded him of nasty factories, and it smelled bad. He then just left abandoning his fater to his ordeals. He didn't feel like going through all that crap to rescue a single person. He mad e it back to the village, and was looking forward to relaxing at his favorite tavern (even though he's 12, but it stopped making sense quite a while ago, so let's just go with it.) where he conversed with his *****es
Naruta: The walking, and talking mailbox. Spams everyone >_>
-Tsuki: The nice guy who is actually an evil mastermind plotting to take over the ninja world.
Sindy: An old lady :faust:
Roju: A guy who apparently loves music
Negative Knight: Genius who makes new jutsu for the village.
Lightning Release
Due to his lightnign affinity and specializing in it he can perform all Raiton techniques with reduced handseals.
Weapons' Arsenal
Killua like many other ninja carries a small pouch on his back that he uses to carry many tools such as kunai, shuriken, and senbon. He also carries two giant shuriken on his back along with a small sword called a wakizashi. His favored weapon however are his yo-yo's. He uses them in the place of ninja wire. They are made of metal, and have metal wire instead of string.
War fan: A giant war fan that helps him perform certain jutsu.
Gas Mask: A simple gas mask, that protects him from toxins in the air. Usually just stored on his person.
Skateboard: Turquoise skate board made of steel.

Research Information
In a meta-analysis of studies examining the effects of calcium and calcium + vitamin D on fracture risk and bone mineral density, it was concluded that in persons over 50 years of age, supplementation with calcium or calcium plus vitamin D may help to preserve bone mineral density and reduce the risk of fractures.
This article describes how physical inactivity has major impacts on health and productivity. The article estimates the health and economic benefits of reducing the prevalence of physical inactivity in the 2008 Australian adult population. The economic benefits were estimated as 'opportunity cost savings', which represent resources utilized in the treatment of preventable disease that are potentially available for re-direction to another purpose from fewer incident cases of disease occurring in communities.
The effect of strength training on body image is understudied. The Strong Women Program, a 10-week, twice weekly strength-training program, was provided by Extension agents to 341 older rural women (62+/-12 years); changes in body image and other psychosocial variables were evaluated. Paired-sample t-test analyses were conducted to assess mean differences pre- to post-program. Strength training was associated with significant improvements in several dimensions of body image, health-related quality of life, and physical activity behaviors, satisfaction, and comfort among rural aging women—an often underserved population that stands to benefit considerably from similar programs.

Most stylish New Yorkers: Daniel Harder
The Alvin Ailey dancer proves you don't have to sacrifice style for comfort.
Harder first wore this outfit as an audience member on The Wendy Williams Show (wendyshow.com). "You're told to wear bright colors, so that's exactly what I went for," he says of his decision to don a bold J.Crew sweater (locations throughout the city; visit jcrew.com) over a crisp white button-up and army-green pants from H&M(locations throughout the city; visit hm.com).
These Bed Stu boots from Urban Outfitters(locations throughout the city; visit urbanoutfitters.com) are the first pair of brown shoes Harder ever purchased. He says he gravitated toward them "because they have a worn, distressed feel."
While his mother was in town visiting, Harder took her to Roundabout New & Resale Couture(31 E 72nd St between Madison and Park Aves, 646-755-8009 • 115 Mercer St between Prince and Spring Sts, 212-966-9166), where he discovered this Viktor & Rolf silk scarf. "It mostly sells women's clothing, so this was an amazing and affordable find," he enthuses.
"Every year, Ailey's New York City Center season kicks off with a fabulous opening-night gala," says Harder, who had these drop-crotch pants custom-made by Charu Vyas (charudesigns.com) for the first one he attended in 2010. "I paired them with a white button-up, navy blue bow tie, black blazer and patent-leather dress shoes." Proving the pants' versatility, he dresses them down here with an H&M chambray shirt.
Converse(560 Broadway at Prince St; 212-966-1099, converse.com) kicks help cement the outfit's casual vibe. "These sneakers have been through it all," says Harder. "They're still quite comfortable and haven't fallen apart on me yet."
"I love the look of a nice fedora," enthuses Harder of his hat from Urban Outfitters. "The clean lines can accentuate a person's facial features very well." It also highlights Harder's diamond stud, which was a Christmas gift from his family and fills a hole he had pierced in high school.
A peacock blue Zara blazer (locations throughout the city; visit zara.com) lends polish to a Nique striped shirt from Nordstrom (nordstrom.com) and H&M skinny jeans. "I was drawn to the gorgeous blue color of the jacket," recalls Harder. "I love dressing it up or wearing it more casually."
Harder originally wore these Zara patent-leather dress shoes with his drop-crotch pants to Alvin Ailey's annual gala. "I've [since] found that they add a nice flair to many of my different ensembles," he says.
"This outfit makes me happy," says Harder of his H&M jacket (scored for half off), Zara graphic sweatshirt and khakis from an AllSaints in Germany. "I love the edge that the cadet jacket gives the sweater and pants," he explains. "It turns a normal outfit into one with a little more character."
While on tour with Alvin Ailey in Germany, Harder discovered these Folk Clothing (folkclothing.com) leather-and-suede mid-top sneakers. "I just had to have them," he says.
"Who doesn't love Kermit the Frog?" wonders Harder, who layers an H&M leather jacket over a sweatshirt featuring the beloved muppet as a Calvin Klein model, also from the Swedish chain. "It's always fun to find a great character shirt or sweater that you can pair with jeans and a jacket." He does exactly that with a pair of distressed denim from AllSaints.
"These leather ankle boots are my everyday shoes during the fall," says Harder, who scored them at an AllSaints sale in Paris. "I can pair them with just about anything in my closet."
Alvin Ailey dancer Daniel Harder proves why he's one of the most stylish New Yorkers by modeling his favorite polished yet comfortable looks. Harder favors brightly colored basics from AllSaints, Zara and H&M.
Daniel Harder, 25, member of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (alvinailey.org), East Harlem
His personal style: "Eclectic—it varies from day to day. I love bright colors and lots of layers, but I also love to be comfortable."
His inspirations: "Dancing for the Ailey company, we can be on the road anywhere from seven to nine months out of the year. Getting to see the world and take in other cultures, their styles and their way of life has definitely inspired how I dress. It's nice to step outside of your own box and embrace what's around you. That being said, the edge that New York City possesses is always a source to draw from. I love people-watching, so when I see someone with a certain look or trend on the street, I try to adapt it and add my own flavor. I'm also an avid reader of many fashion magazines, so I tend to scour the pages looking for pieces that I can add to my collection."
Favorite stores: "Lazaro Soho (457 Broome St between Greene and Mercer Sts; 212-219-8494, lazarosoho.com) has amazing accessories, from great necklaces with charms to cool statement pieces. AllSaints(415 W 13th St between Ninth Ave and Washington St, 646-862-3155 • 512 Broadway between Broome and Spring Sts, 646-862-1832 • us.allsaints.com) always has a wide variety of men's clothing to choose from, which can be difficult for the male shopper to find! There's a ruggedness and edge to a lot of its clothing. My most recent purchase was in Paris, where I got some really great shorts on sale. Opening Ceremony(35 Howard St between Broadway and Crosby St, 212-219-2688 • 1190–92 Broadway between 28th and 29th Sts, 646-695-5680 • openingceremony.us) can be a bit pricey at times, but it has a wide, diverse selection from many designers, and if you search hard enough, you can usually find a good steal. I normally find interesting shirts that I can pair with different sweaters and jackets. I also bought a great jumpsuit that I have yet to wear."
His signature item: "I always have a pair of sunglasses on. My favorite pair at the moment is from Ray-Ban (ray-ban.com). They are basic circular frames—think Elton John—but the frames are trimmed in leather. I recently bought them while I was on tour in Paris from a great shop near the Louvre."
Favorite NYC designer: "It's fellow Ailey dancer Jermaine Terry. He started off designing dance clothes—he actually created the outfit that I auditioned for the company in—and has recently ventured into creating couture. His new pieces are very one-of-a-kind. He's got a great imagination and a good eye for shape and patterns. Just this past year, he created several gowns that a few of the female dancers in the company wore to our opening-night gala."
How he describes New York style: "It is all over the place, which is why I love it. You'll see a little bit of everything, from bohemian and vintage styles to a man who's bold enough to rock a kilt. Best of all, no one cares what the person next to them is wearing. It's all about individual expression. Even people who embrace fads and trends find a way to make it their own."
How his style has evolved: "The more comfortable I became with myself, the more I was able to embrace my true style. In the beginning, I followed trends, but now I'm all about what makes me feel good and comfortable—even if it isn't exactly what's hot and current at the moment."
Favorite salons: "I get my hair cut at Sanchez Barber Shop (1797 Lexington Ave between 111th and 112th Sts, 212-987-6677). It's a clean, well-kept salon, and the staff is very personable. I don't go to a particular barber, because they're all quite good. Everyone I've seen in the shop leaves looking better than how they walked in. I love getting mani-pedis from Lilac Nails (330 W 58th St between Eighth and Ninth Aves, 646-964-4566). The location is perfect for when I need a little me time during our New York City Center season. My girl Vira always hooks me up with a great manicure and pedicure that is clean and natural."
See Daniel dance!
He'll be performing at New York City Center(131 W 55th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves; 212-581-1212, nycitycenter.org) through December 30, 2012 as part of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater's national tour.

West Bloomfield
School districts prepare MLK programs
By Eric Czarnik
Posted January 11, 2013
WEST BLOOMFIELD — Supporters of Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream for civil rights and diversity will put on their walking shoes for the 2013 United We Walk event Jan. 20 at West Bloomfield High School.
As in past years, participants will take a ceremonial walk down Orchard Lake Road and back. When the people return to the school, they will head to the auditorium for a program of music and activities that fulfills this year's theme of "Unity in the Community."
David Merritt, minister of music at Straight Gate International Church, will be the keynote speaker. Event adult co-chair David Flaisher said Merritt is a West Bloomfield High School graduate.
"With him being a graduate, I think he is going to have an audience and have an interest in talking about 'Unity in the Community,'" Flaisher said.
Organizers will pick an annual "world leader" whose achievements furthered peace, freedom or justice. Past winners include Rosa Parks, Mother Teresa and presidents Abraham Lincoln, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama.
After a candlelight vigil, the event will end with a free community dinner sponsored by houses of worship affiliated with the West Bloomfield Clergy Association. "A lot of the local congregations that are part of the clergy association will be bringing some of the food, as well as corporate sponsors," Flaisher said.
During a Jan. 7 West Bloomfield Township Board of Trustees meeting, Treasurer Teri Weingarden said she was excited to hear local students talk about the event.
"Last year, to me, was the most inspirational, motivational United We Walk ever," she said. "So I'm really looking forward to this year."
The Walled Lake Consolidated School District will host its 14th annual community-wide Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration.
Walled Lake Northern High School will host the event from 5-8:30 p.m. Jan. 21. Guests enjoy a multicultural dinner and see student displays based around the theme "Let Your Voice Be Heard: Speak Up! Speak Out!"
Alec Bender, co-chair of the school district's Multicultural Committee, said the event will feature African and Mexican dance groups, as well as keynote speaker and Detroit Free Press columnist Rochelle Riley. "She is going to be speaking on 'Every Voice Counts,'" Bender said.
Bender said the event is open to the community, and people are invited to donate canned and boxed goods to the Focus: HOPE food pantry in Detroit.
The Walled Lake Consolidated School District will hold its 14th annual community-wide Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration 5-8:30 p.m. Jan. 21 at Walled Lake Northern High School. Learn more about Walled Lake Northern High School, 6000 Bogie Lake Road, in Commerce Township, at www.wlcsd.org or by calling (248) 956-5300.
The 2013 United We Walk event will be held at 3 p.m. Jan. 20 at West Bloomfield High School, 4925 Orchard Lake Road, in West Bloomfield. Participants are encouraged to bring warm clothing for the walk. Learn more about United We Walk at www.unitedwewalk.org or by calling (248) 865-6420.
