Once you go black, you don't go back?
I recently hooked up with a really hot Black guy, and now I'm not attracted to anyone unless they're Black.. ? Why? I'm surrounded by attractive guys... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Everybody want's good stuff. If you experienced great time with black guy, it might happen to become your favorite type. It could have been in reverse. One white guy and no black ones again. That does not mean that next guy who will impress you won't be white guy. But it is somewhat less likely.
That makes sense. Thank you

I feel kinda similar, like a couple of years ago I used to have no interest in black girls but now I pretty much only am attracted to them and want to be with them. But I am still open to dating other races, I would say you are pretty similar. You just have a preference, no problem with that
Ouch...never been attracted to black...usually the size of their penis?
i wouldn't expect you to since your a guy. and what about it?

Yeah, I do believe women date black for their size or reputed size. So, it's clear where her preferences are. I'm just not attracted to women with the bigger vaginas. It's great they can find someone that they want, but I'd rather just move on.
Actually white guys can be VERY big! I've never been attracted to a black man and never will, as a Latina I LOVE white men, my current boyfriend is the uhm "biggest" I've ever seen
If you get an opportunity to go on a date or be intimate with a non black guy, give him a chance. However, it's not shameful to only like black guys, but you are just limiting your options.
i don't think I am limiting. I limited myself to only white guys before, and now I see the beauty in all races. I wish I was this clear-headed a loooong time ago.
There are more races than just black and white.
thanks. read. :)
im surprised that no girl has pointed out the possibility of her being emotionally attached to this guy somehow...
Maybe you had a connection with him. Have you ever been in love? The kiss is different, the sex is different, its all different when you are emotionally attached. Maybe he did everything perfect in every way and now you look for a way to kind of "reconnect" with him and you choose to do that through race?
Im not saying that's the case, but hey, maybe it is? Just something I initially thought?
(look at cenicienta's answer)
She was in love with a guy of a particular race and she seems to fall for them more often...
your personal preference has just changed, that's all!
Once you go fat, you never go back either. lmfao!
Okay, just go sleep with someone who isn't black and maybe that will change your mindset. That is the only thing I can think of.
idk if this is about simply sleeping with guys haha. but thanks. and I'm a fit biatch :P
That's cool that you are fit and all. I'm just saiyan that I slept with a big girl and now all I seem to chase after are big women. Coincidence?
oh I don't know lol :P
and that's great :)
just stating facts and my personal assessment of you based photos, you fit the description...thick, white girl that smokes weed and loves reggae. Do whatever makes you happy.
LOL I agree. She has more in common with black folks than with men of other races.

What a racist thing to say
i don't know any white guys that do...wait, you know, I do know this one guy...and all he dates is black chics. check and check mate
Kacie you need help for your mental disorder. It's abnormal to be attracted to those outside of your own race to this degree. Races were created for a reason by God. Who are we to interfere with that? Bottom line is, it's abnormal. White Men want white women who have class, standards, intelligence and character. Sadly there are few white "men" it seems. Those same traits define what a real Man is. Sadly the black male is the prime example of what a MAN isn't. No responsibility, low intelligence, racists, hate filled, lack of impulse control and given to crime. Statistics bear all of these out as we all know they do, whether we want to admit it or not. For a white woman, from her own lack of womanly traits and out of pure lust and lack of intelligence, chooses to have sex with a black male, no white MAN has any use for her again. Please stay in the bed you made for yourself. A Man considers the genetics of his child. Apparently narcissistic lust filled females (not Women) don't. Not only are you not "Wanted" back, you're not "NEEDED" especially when it comes to child bearing for a white MAN. Such inferior and weak genetics based in character, definitely don't need to continue.
Okay, one of the many things wrong with this answer, is you calling the black man "racist" when you clearly stated "Sadly the black male is the prime example of what a MAN isn't. No responsibility, low intelligence, racists, hate filled, lack of impulse control and given to crime." Does that not sound racist to you? generalizing all black men to be criminals, have lack of intelligence, etc. Second, it is not a mental disorder to like black men, get that through your ignorant f***ing head.
Stopped at the first sentence. Honestly if you have nothing intelligent to contribute just don't say anything at all.
Good for you. Is there an actual question in here anywhere? The saying 'once you go black, you don't go back' has more of a foundation in that Caucasian men often want nothing to do with a Caucasian woman who has dated blacks. The acid test is, if you do find a white guy you like, tell him that all of your recent boyfriends have been black and see what happens.
It's because it's different!
Most people are too use to their own culture so we can see the beauty in others allot more then our own kind. I'm mostly black but I never date any black woman, I have nothing against them I just feel more interested in something new I guess.
the Normal Black guy cares about his looks more then the average white male. Look at all the sports stars who play football that are black and basketball as well. My High school, while in a white town had more Black guys kicking ass on the football field then white/Spanish males. they were ripped, trimmed and of course Overly cocky , all things woman say they love lmao.
I Myself Like Latin woman, they have such wonderful hair, Hips and a nice ass/leg ratio.
Euro woman have very beautiful/exotic faces and Indian woman are like a mix of latin and euro.
I don't know whether it's true or not in most cases, but I've been involved with quite a few white girls and a lot of them had a long-running interest in black guys that obviously started at some point. However the girls who live in places which have a higher white population seem to 'go back' whereas the girls from London (where I live) definitely follow that stereotype, and there's a high black population here so it makes sense. I doubt they think that we're better lovers, probably just have an interest in the contrast of color/culture, which I think is cool. What do you think?
Well I live on a small island in Hawaii and there are no Black guys here... it's a shame really.
Ahh too bad :)
Haha I know
Hmmm that's interesting. I'm in the same position but with white girls. I used to only be interested in Indian girls but I recently hooked up with a white girl and now I love white girls. I'm so glad there are so many white girls at my university lol. I'm still interested in all races, but I'm much more interested in white girls than any other.
You'v hooked up now? Congrats. I remember seeing one of your posts a while back saying you had doubts you'd ever find a girl.
Thanks man. I doubt it's anything serious, well not yet anyway.
You probably have more chemistry and more in common with a black guy. I don't believe the statement once you go black you never go back. I know plenty of women that have. This ex I was with said she dated a black guy shortly. She also said I was the best sex she ever had. Statement = false.
yeah I know a lot of white girls who that happens to. Its sad because most white guys won't have anything to do with them once they've been with a black guy.
and why wouldn't they have anything to do with them once they're with a black guy?

thanks for your opinion :)
That is VERY true! Well for Mexicans at least, people of my race look at me disgustingly because all of my past boyfriends have been white and my current boyfriend is white, but it doesn't matter to me, Mexican men tend to be very racist/sexist/demanding.

What Girls Said 31
I dated a black guy then a white guy and a mexican.
was the black guy bigger?
i don't think it has to do with d*** size otherwise the saying would be 'once you go with a bigger guy you never go back' period even if he's not black. If it's true, then it's a different factor more closely related to being black.
To be honest, I think the guys have hit the nail on the head. If the sex/company/whatever was really memorable you'll see black men as better and if you have more in common with black people you're more likely to have a good time!
I'm the same, but with me it's white musicians, in particular guitarists. I don't like massively muscled, sculpted abs, etc etc. I'd always chose the tall, slim, dark haired musician. If it makes you happy, don't beat yourself up about it, it's natural! :)
hehe! I don't think its true a few friends and I have dated black guys before and we didn't only date black guys for me doesn't really matter what race you are if you have a connection with that person and they make you happy then that's the only thing that should matter :)
I agree...
i think sex is good if you're attracted to the person, so if you're attracted to black guys more, yeah you'll get more turned on by them.
i don't think the myth is true because the smallest d*** I ever saw was on a black guy. but what I experienced is that once you start dating black guys other guys get kinda intimidated so you just kinda end up sticking with black guys because that's who wants to hook up with you the most, I donno
what is there to help? it's your preference. it's totally ok
i meant it as is it normal to feel this way? so thanks :)
Yes...black men have bigger penises and women like em bigger..size matters...thats why guys like me who are white with small penises or just average penises are 42 and still single! I will only date WHITE and Hispanic women!
By hooked up did you mean sex? Because black guys tend to have bigger d***s compared to the average white male... Maybe you just love big cock? Nothing to be ashamed of! haha. Everyone has a type, maybe you just prefer black guys, there is nothing wrong with it.
i don't think I should mention size, it might upset some people but whatever. thanks for the response. I like what I like.
That's just wrong
Because you can ALWAYS go back.
i don't get why some people like this need to be up in someone elses business... why does it matter to these guys...? Is their dating preference so strict and have not much else to offer that they feel inadequate when people of "their race" date out. Who freaking cares, date out too
I don't think there is anything wrong with you. I am into black men too but I have ventured back to white occasionally, but for me I just like black guys more they give me more pleassure because I'm more attracted to their dark skin their dark skin their boldness and swag.
I've been with black guys exclusively from my 14th till my 17th and my 19th till a few months ago!
I think it's true once you go black, you never go back, but every once in a while you have a white snack!
Don't worry be happy and enjoy!

No,black dudes only good for smke wed and crack and they are lazy for work all the time,i am latina and in latin America we have a powerful drug cartel who can kill you only for mix the race,white girls and latin girl in usa may be hose girls like black dudes becuse the people in usa lose all culture and honor,in latin merica Mexico to Argentina we are Maya,Aztec or Inca we have culture and we don't like to make our blood durty,black people in usa lose all the africa culture poor people but sorry,if one day I go into the blacky dudes I will pay for that with my life,ppl who love to kill latina girls who like black dudes is the people like los Z (Zetas) drug cartel
So you are a racist?
i'm the same way, but not with blacks :)
once I "kinda fell in love" with a guy of a particular race, I only see them now.
its not just a race thing though, it happens with other traits too. like if the guy you loved played football, or the piano or whatever you'll be more interested in guys as soon you find out they do these things too. at least that's how it is for me...
i think I'm kind of in a similar situation as you. I've always been attracted to both black and white guys, and even Hispanic guys for that matter.
i dated a couple white guys in high school and my fresh year of college. one guy was an ass but the other was a sweetheart. for various reasons we broke up though.
but earlier this year I met a really really cute black guy. we really hit it off as friends but soon after I knew I had stronger feelings than just that. when we did have sex it was the best sex I've ever had, by far haha. I think our sex has made our emotional connection even stronger to each other. now I seem to be really attracted to black guys more so than before.
i hope this helps :)
It might just be a faze? Haha! Like you experience something and you just want that one thing more and more, but then if you don't get it... it will fade away or your feelings towards both white and black guys will be the same!
Ive never been with a black guy before like, although id like too!
Is it true what they say? (about the size... ;) !) xx
Sorry. Phase*
hahaha yes, the size is true.
Yes, I wonder about what you said... Is it true what they say about size? ... Also, like you, I've never been with a black guy but I would love to! :) ... Same is true about women... I'm bi curious and never been with a woman before but I definitely want to! :)
why shouldn't you take us back once we went black?
because you will be loose

it's not silly it makes sense
It doesn't make sense because it doesn't inform you as to whether he was big or not. Also, you're ignoring my first comment.
I've heard people say both, and on this site, I've seen both opinions. Personally I think it's somewhat superficial either way. However, I could just be biased because I'm a girl, but I feel like the second one ("once you go black we don't want you back") is worse because you're judging someone based on their past rather than simply changing your preferences.
ok so I prefer to not date girls who dated black guys
- Show Older Hide Older
Everyone has preferences, but I don't think every deal breaker is justifiable.
no but as long as others have other deal breakers I have mine
That statement isn't true for everyone, but it could be true for some people who really just have a thing for black guys. There's nothing wrong with that, but you're limiting yourself, and you should also remember that there's more to a person than their skin color. It's also possible that the guy you hooked up with just happened to be a better match for you than any guy you were with in the past, and that may be skewing your perception of the situation- the fact that you had a better experience with him might be completely unrelated to his skin color. You might also just be so excited by the new experience that you've become a little obsessed, and that could wear off with time. You may go back to being attracted to other races/ skin tones as well.
Either way, you're attracted to what you're attracted to, and that's fine. Everyone has preferences. Whatever your preferences are, just remember to treat potential mates with respect whether they meet your requirements or not, and make sure you pay attention to more than just their appearance.
thanks for the response! although I don't think I'm limiting. I think I've limited myself before to just white guys. I should have been open to every background :)

TOWER CITY – Tower City's park continues to benefit from grants that help the public facility to keep growing.
Scott Tichy, a member of the Tower City Park Board, said Thursday two years ago the park received a 50/50 matching state recreational facility grant that allowed the park board to put in a new playground.
About two weeks ago, the park board finished putting in a 1,200 foot walking path around the park it built with a 2011 national recreational trails grant.
Tichy said the total cost for the project was about $47,000 – with a small matching amount required for the grant, Tower City's cost share was only about $9,000. "That's a good deal."
Along with that grant, Tichy said "we just got a small NDSU grant to put in trees for an arboretum." With that grant, Tichy said 10 different species of trees will be planted in the park.
Members of a Barnes County 4-H Club, the Better Livestock 4-H Club, have agreed to help put in the trees as a community service project, Tichy said.
Most of the club members are from the Tower City area, "but some are from other areas too," including Valley City.
Two of Tichy's daughters – Megan and Emma Tichy – are members of the 4-H club.
"It is a service project for them. Our kids and the rest of the club are super excited about it," Tichy said.
Tichy said the major improvements to the Tower City Park are important to a city the size of Tower City. "The town itself is excited about all the stuff coming into the park – a little town of 250."

For most of the past decade, the Minnesota Twins were playing big games in September. They won six division titles from 2002-10, and when they weren't winning them, they were in the race, even losing a one-game playoff to the Chicago White Sox in 2008. So a second straight losing season has been particularly hard on the guys who were around for the glory years, and with nine of the last 12 games this season against two contenders, the Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees, the Twins are going to be surrounded by players still vying for a shot at the World Series. "It's tough looking at," first baseman Justin Morneau said. The Twins start a three-game series at Detroit on Friday, then head back to Target Field for three against the Yankees and three more against the Tigers before ending their season with three in Toronto. "There's nothing like it, that's (being) in a pennant race, where you're leading or trying to catch somebody, scoreboard-watching, as we all still do," ma...

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
Chrysler's Dodge Charger Pursuit, General Motors' Chevy Caprice PPV, and Ford's Police Interceptor are now the talk of the police vehicle world, as the Big 3 battle to see what company and what car will take the lion's share of what has been undeniably the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor's market.
In the last decade, law enforcement patrol vehicles have become more like high-tech offices than the old-fashioned prowl cars of the past. Today's officer has more technology in his or her patrol unit than astronauts had in the space shuttle. And like any high-tech office, the new patrol car cabin is built around the presence of a powerful computer.
As a public servant you are under constant scrutiny and you are held to a higher standard of ethical conduct than other citizens; this higher standard also covers things like online social networking.
The Montclair (Calif.) Police Department chose Caprice to replace its aging Crown Vics due to the spacious cabin, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty, 6.0-liter V-8 engine, and dynamic braking.
Michigan State Police tested new cruisers from Victory Motorcycles—the Commander I and Vision—among the six police motorcycles to be offered in the 2012 model year.
Author Sylvia Longmire has been studying Mexico's drug and human smuggling operations for much of her life.
A plethora of TV shows, movies, and novels explore all types of the undead or living dead. Future generations will no doubt attribute this fixation to one or another of our social ills, and one certainly has to admit that there must be some strange social collective fear that has made these critters the subject of so much attention.
The sheriff of Muskingum County, Ohio, Matt Lutz, and his officers went to work on Oct. 19, probably expecting the usual routine operations of a rural sheriff's department. But before the day was over they became reluctant big game hunters.
The ARK Recurve and Tanto folders are completely black with thin, angle cut grooved G10 grips. They're definitely easy on the eyes, but they're also functional. Both are liner lock folders with G10 scales and black razor sharp AUS8 steel blades.
The Rogue is 782's flagship parka. The fabric makes this "hard-shell" jacket virtually waterproof. It is also quiet. Most "hard-shells'" make that swishing sound that is not only annoying but can give you away when you require stealth.
I have noticed that the EOD PowerLock has improved in several ways. It now has a true needle-nose plier that will give you a fine point when you need it to grasp and pinch small items.
Most shooters' first impression of Kel-Tec's new KSG shotgun is that it looks like a weapon out of a video game or some sci-fi movie. But despite its unconventional bullpup design, I believe this innovative weapon will have a positive impact on the law enforcement community.
What most agencies do well is produce managers; it helps with short-term goals but exasperates long-term ones. Please don't tell me you are part of that innocuous group of lost souls that think managing and leading are the same thing, because they're not.
The benefits of foot beats are many and this type of patrol should be a fundamental aspect in any community policing model. But after being directed to an assigned area or neighborhood to walk, an officer and his or her department should have sound strategies in place for how best to accomplish this mission in a safe and productive manner.
Special Agent Patrick Simpson of the Department of Homeland Security was instrumental in helping members of a DHS task force apprehend a fugitive wanted for double homicide. The fact that he spoke Spanish allowed him to locate the suspect, apprehend him, and then elicit a confession.
A rape investigation presented immediate barriers for Fort Smith PD's Det. Jeff Carter, such as a reluctant victim and informant with a criminal record and chemical dependence.
Checkpoint stops are different-multiple vehicles are stopped one after the other, at the same place, without any suspicion beforehand that anyone in particular may be engaged in unlawful activity.

I looked at the headlines of four different online or print publications. I scanned through some of their pages and just looked for headlines that grabbed my attention.
The first headline I noticed was one from the Star Tribune. The headline was "How bad is Minnesota's budget deficit? Mega Bad." I noticed it because I thought the use of "mega bad" was kind of funny for a headline. It was funny 'cause it sounds like something I would say when I am overexagerating something and it doesn't seem like something that would really be appropriate for a headline. I actually first noticed that headline this morning when I glanced at the Star Tribune and it seemed funny and then I saw it again online and I remembered it from this morning.
The second headline I looked at was from MSNBC. it was, "Who will sit at Energy?" I noticed it because they used a question for the headline which I thought was interesting. The headline from the star tribune used a question too and I had never really thought of using a question before. I had always thought that headlines just summed up very succinctly what was in the article. But I guess if the article itself was asking a question that it would make sense to have a question as a headline.
The third headline was from the NY Times. It was, "A shrine for a friend who made a Starbucks a village." This headline was for a story about a homeless man who had frequented a Starbucks in NYC and everyone loved him and he was recently found dead and the chair he always sat in was turned into kind of a shrine. I noticed this one because I had previously read an article about this story. I new what the story was about from reading the headline because I knew of the story already but I didn't think that someone who wasn't already familiar with it would really understand what the story was about. I also thought it sounded a little clunky.
The final headline I looked at was from the LA Times. It was, "Mystery shrouds chained teenager." I thought this headline was really good because it really grabbed my attention. I really wanted to read the article so I would know who this kid was that was chained and why. I guess that is the point of a really good headline, if it can grab the readers attention and make them read a story they might otherwise skip over.

Treatment of Postural and Gait Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease
The purpose of this study is to test the drug Chantix on patients with Parkinson's disease and to see if it can improve balance impairment and postural instability often found in that patient population. This is a single-center, placebo-conrolled study, and we expect to recruit approximately 40 patients. The treatment will be assigned randomly.
In order to participate you must meet the following criteria:
- Have mild to moderate Parkinson's disease with a history of falls.
- Are at least 40 years of age.
You will be excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply to you:
- Have current psychiatric disease.
- Are currently a smoker or taking nicotine replacement products.

THE African Development Bank says the hopes pinned on the Government's Distressed Industries and Marginalised Areas Fund (DiMAF) remain unfulfilled for local firms, although it is the only available policy to rescue them.
There had been huge expectations from the corporate sector when the policy instrument was announced in 2011 amid hopes that the fund would help alleviate the financial problems. But only private funds have been made available, with no input or guarantee from the Government, hence the stiff lending terms.
"However, one year down the line, there is still little worth celebrating, as accessing the funds has remained difficult.
"No other measures have yet been put in place to address this," the regional bank said. "Hence DiMAF remains only a policy tool at hand. It is important to ensure the implementation of the policy is given the priority it deserves."
AfDB made the comments in its monthly economic report for June, which reviews developments in the Zimbabwe economy. The continental bank said it emerged last month that one of the key challenges towards accessing the DiMAF funds was the condition upon which the funds would be released.
"One such condition is that companies that are under provisional liquidation are not allowed to benefit from DiMAF, even though the majority of the distressed companies fall under such a category," the bank added.
Another condition, which makes funds inaccessible, is that the maximum duration of DiMAF loans was set at 12 months, a period too short for any company, especially a "distressed" company, to earn any meaningful return to pay back.
Furthermore, only collateral security of first mortgage bonds over immovable property would be accepted to unlock funding, which would be a challenge to most of the "distressed and marginalised" companies who use rented premises. As such, DiMAF has failed to live up to expectations.
AfDB said the situation had also been compounded by the fact that the fund was never fully constituted.
Government was supposed to contribute US$20 million, with Old Mutual chipping in with the other US$20 million. But that has not happened.
Government failed to contribute its share, which could also explain why the lending conditions are largely private sector-oriented.
DiMAF was established as a solution to reverse the trend where over 87 companies had ceased operations while many others relocated to Harare, as others downsized operations. According to Industry and Commerce Minister Professor Welshman Ncube the local industry requires at least of US$2 billion to recapitalise.
Local companies have not replaced old and antiquated equipment over the last decade when the economic downturn reached its peak, but have set out to regenerate the industrial base, after stabilisation of the economy in 2009.
Economic activity has not and may not reach the desired levels in the absence of a significant dose of funding to re-establish the industrial base of years gone by.
Uncertainty over the political situation in the country has also kept investors guessing and withholding their funds and that pushed the cost of the little available funds through the roof. Local banks charge between 10 and 31 percent interest for loans.

I have my beloved 1981 Subaru that I bought for $5, yes $5 that had 209,000 miles and a new everything except for some suspension pieces. After those were replaced, it failed DEQ/Smog/inspection due to a overflowing carburator. That was professionally rebuilt.
It now has major issues, they have been getting worse, and I believe some of the exsisted before the carb rebuilt.
At around 2500 RPM, there is major accelatation hesitation, and I give it more gas to make it keep going.
In cold mornings, the car seems to flood itself, as I have to pulse the gas to keep it alive. And large amounts of gray smoke that doesnt smell like oil comes out.
The Idle is searching for a home. Sometimes it doesnt idle, sometimes its around 2000 rpm.
When traveling around right hand turns, the car will die when not in gear.
The distributor is around 30,000 miles old, and one shop said both the carb, distributor needed to be replaced.
Temperature seems to be an issue, as the car will get warm (even on cold days) but the fan keeps the car at good temperature.
Exhaust smells like maybe coolant...no water in the oil etc.
This problem blew a major hole in the muffler.
Anyone have Ideas? I dont want to see this car go!
Maybe EGR value, thermostat, choke settings, or wireing to the choke?
Other electrical errors, the car does have a small history of blown fuses.

choke settings,
when i read your biopsy- this is exactly what came to mind. when your car floods itself at start-up, it's probably like my brat on a manual choke where you have to push the gas down for a second before you turn the key to set the choke.. if you're doing this, and your problem remains, i've had way similar problems on honda motorcycles- which are basicly scale models as far as choke goes. I have no idea where the choke settings on my brat are, i could look them up if anyone else agrees w/ my idea, but i think you hit the nail on the head if i had to guess.

The Sun provides nearly all the energy for the Earth's climate system. Even small changes in the Sun's energy output can have large effects on climate, since the energy received from the Sun is so much greater than all other climate energy sources combined. A new spacecraft experiment to be launched later this year will be continuing the existing measurement record of the Sun's energy output.
Dr. Greg Kopp will discuss what we know about the Sun and its influences on Earth's climate, and describe the current and planned measurements of this important solar climate data record.

Sir Hercules was by the great sire Whalebone, winner of the British derby, out of the Wanderer daughter, Peri. Peri (1822) was bred to Whalebone at the age of three, and Sir Hercules, her first foal, was born in 1826 at Petworth Stud. Black with white ticking, Sir Hercules was small (15.2 hh) and had a compact build, with identical length "...From the center of the breast to the hind part of the shoulder, from hind part of shoulder to the hip, and from hip to whirlbone," with "no more than room for a saddle on his back."
Sir Hercules was purchased by Hercules Landford Rowley, the second Baron Langford of Summerhill, and was put up for stud in 1831 for a fee of £10. However, few Englishmen wished to breed their mares to him, and the young stallion was moved in 1832 to Rossmore Lodge at the Curragh. He was then sent to England in 1833 with the rest of Rowley's racing stud to be acutioned of at Tattersall. Sir Hercules was initially sold to America for 750 guineas, but it was decided that it was too late in the season to ship him overseas, and the stallion was resold to H.O. Weatherby.
Weatherby sent him to stand at stud at George Tattersall's stud, Dawley Wall Farm. In 1838, he was sent to East Acton, where he stood for a fee of £30. However, Weatherby died and Sir Hercules was sold to Sydned Herbert. In 1844, Herbert sent the stallion to Tattersall's Willesden Paddocks, where he was open to public mares. Soon, however, Herbert broke up his stud and sold Sir Hercules to Mr. Phillips of Bushbury Stud, where the stallion eventually died at the age of thirty.

A digital frequency synthesizer, clever synchronization and unrivalled miniaturization get top marks.
Phonak takes its latest FM technology to school.
Stfa, October 2003 - The latest innovation from Phonak succeeds in closing the gap between children with and without hearing loss in the school situation. This multi-frequency technology enables children with hearing instruments to move freely between classrooms, without the need for frequency re-setting. For wearers and teachers the new FM technology means ultimate flexibility, ensuring that children and not technical issues are the focus of the education process.
Digital frequency synthesizer inside
The key breakthrough behind the new multi-frequency FM technology is the digital frequency synthesizer, unique to Phonak. It has been integrated into several new products - the Campus S transmitter, specially designed for use in learning environments, the MicroLink MLxS, the Perseo and Claro dAZ FM S and the Microlink CI S receiver for cochlear implant users. The digital synthesizer simplifies frequency management in schools so that it really is child's play.
Tailor-made synchronization
Phonak offers fast and flexible methods for both the synchronization of a class or group, and the synchronization of a specific child. Automatic Frequency Synchronization (AFS) for a class or group can be carried out via the new WallPilot, a picture-frame like device hung by entrance to room. This automatically sets the MicroLink of each child entering to the correct frequency for that particular room. For the synchronization of an individual child Direct Frequency Synchronization (DFS) with Campus S offers the perfect solution. Once the frequency is selected, a touch of the DFS button on the Campus S instantly sets the receiver frequency accordingly.
Campus S - Tailor made synchronization
Small is beautiful
Three decades of pediatric experience have qualified Phonak to design products for children that are highly effective, practical, discrete and robust. The Microlink receivers are the smallest in the world and simply attached to the hearing instrument. They are totally free of wires that could restrict the child's movement. Campus S also has a specially designed lockable keypad to resist inquisitive fingers. The Phonak FM system, with over 100,000 users worldwide, is established as an international standard.

False Bay Writer's Cabin
- Tom Kundig, Design Principal
- Kirsten R. Murray, Principal
- San Juan Islands, WA, 2009
- Cabins
Project Details
This 500 SF island cabin serves as a private writer's retreat and guest cottage. The owners wanted a space that would feel totally connected to the natural landscape, allowing them to take full advantage of the mild climate, scenic views and the proximity to wildlife; at the same time, they needed the cabin to be easily secured when not in use.
The cabin is basically a glass house surrounded by three wooden slat decks and topped with an inverted hip roof with deep overhangs. Through a system of hydraulic winches, wire rope, pivoting sheaves and lead blocks, these decks can be raised to serve as shutters, completely closing off the cabin. Open, the shutter-decks are outdoor living space, connecting to the interior with 10 foot tall windows and sliding doors. The south shutter-deck can be opened independently of the other two, and an interior fireplace can rotate 180 degrees to be enjoyed from the exterior. The inverted roof forces water to drain to the rear of the cabin, eliminating a drip edge on the shutter-decks.
The interior of the space is essentially a single glazed room with a modest back-of-cabin area housing a small bathroom and kitchenette. Finishes are restrained, punctuated only by a blackened steel floor inlay that bisects the cabin. A rack attached to the back of the cabin organizes the owner's kayaks.

Effective Handwashing Is a Great Way to Avoid Infection, Illness
Nobody wants to get sick, particularly during flu season. You can significantly improve your odds of staying well by washing your hands frequently and following other flu prevention tips.
National Handwashing Awareness Week is observed this month, and it's a great opportunity to evaluate your handwashing practices, making sure they are as effective as possible.
"Handwashing is the number one most effective means of preventing the spread of infectious disease," says Mary Bowron, R.N., Washington Hospital's Infection Control Coordinator. "Regular handwashing represents the best known and cheapest way of preventing the spread of disease."
One of Bowron's roles in the hospital is to educate new employees about effective handwashing etiquette.
"This has to be one of my biggest pushes as infection control coordinator," she says. "During hospital orientation, the first thing we do is teach proper handwashing since it represents the backbone of infection control."
But proper handwashing techniques are just as important for the general population, according to Bowron.
"People in the community often don't realize the extent of germs on their hands," she points out.
By following recommended hand hygiene guidelines, you can help keep your family and community healthier this year by reducing the spread of germs.
If your hands are visibly soiled:
- Wash them with warm water – if available – and soap, making sure to get each part of the hand (palms, back of hands, under fingernails, webbing between the fingers, etc.) all the way up to the wrists for 15 seconds.
- After rinsing your hands, dry them with a paper towel and shut off the water with a paper towel.
If you do not have access to soap and running water:
- Apply an alcohol-based sanitizer, create friction for 15 seconds or until alcohol is dried, again making sure to rub all surfaces of each hand.
Hand sanitizer is effective
Bowron says that when used correctly, hand sanitizer is just as effective as washing with soap and water unless your hands are visibly soiled. For hand sanitizers to work, hands need to be free of visible dirt and you must also use the enough of the hand gel to get protection. It's recommended you squirt an amount of gel about the size of a dime into your hands. Then rub vigorously so all sides of your hands get wet. Rub hands together until they are dry.
Just as important as how to effectively wash your hands is when to wash them, Bowron says.
To reduce the possibility of spreading germs to the mucus membrane of your eyes, nose and mouth, it is important to wash your hands:
- Before and after eating
- Before and after using the restroom
- Before and after direct contact with other people
- After sneezing or coughing
"Keep your hands off your face, because that's how infections really get transmitted – by touching your face after contact with someone who is sick," Bowron says.
Another important way of reducing the spread of infection, she says, is to follow proper respiratory etiquette. So what does that mean?
"One of the things we're trying to teach people is to cough into your elbow to keep your hands clean," she explains. "We're especially trying to emphasize this lesson with kids: 'Cover your cough or sneeze with your elbow, not your hands'."
Good respiratory etiquette also includes using tissues to contain mouth or nose secretions and disposing of the soiled tissue in a proper waste receptacle.
Bowron says that many places in the community, such as schools and workplaces, are supplying hand sanitizers – making it easier to keep your hands clean even when you don't have access to soap and water.
"Wash your hands frequently," she says, pointing out that, "You can never wash your hands too much."
Clean hands, healthier you

Sean Curtis enters his seventh season as the head women's golf coach and 15th year as director of intramurals and club sports at Washington University in St. Louis. Curtis oversees the department and also handles other duties as assigned by the director of athletics.
Curtis was named the University's first head women's golf coach on Feb. 8, 2008. He is in his first season serving on the National Golf Coaches Association Award Committee, and is a voter in the NFCA Top-25 Coaches' Poll for the fourth-consecutive season.
Curtis was recognized by his peers as the 2012 and 2014 Division III Eaton Pride NGCA National Coach of the Year and the Division III Eaton Pride NGCA Central Region Coach of the Year.
The fourth season as a varsity program brought overwhelming success for Curtis and the Bears, posting a school-record 313.00 scoring average, which ranked second in all of NCAA Division III. Washington U. finished the regular season ranked No. 4 in the Division III head-to-head rankings.
The Bears also made their third-consecutive appearance in the NCAA Division III Championship finishing 13th, and was ranked No. 2 in the Golf World/NGCA top-25 poll. The Bears placed in the top-five in nine of 12 tournaments they competed in, and won a Division III-best six tournaments in 2011-12.
He also mentored a pair of NGCA first team All-America selections in freshman Olivia Lugar and junior Hannah Buck. Lugar was named NGCA National Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year in her rookie campaign at Washington U.
In 2011, Curtis guided Washington University back to NCAA Tournament for the second-straight year and recorded a program-best eighth place finish. Buck earned All-America accolades for the second-straight year, picking up first-team honors.
Curtis and the Bears' made history in 2010, qualifying for the the school's first-ever NCAA Division III Championship in just its second season as a varsity sport placing 19th. He also mentored Buck, who became the first All-American in school history after earning second-team NGCA All-America accolades.
The Bears' inaugural season was a success as Washington University ended the season ranked 38th in the NCAA Division III head-to-head rankings. The Bears placed in the top five in seven of 10 events, and won the McKendree Fall Invitational.
Curtis, who served as the assistant intramurals director for three years at Washington University before being appointed to the head position, has worked in the athletics field his entire post-collegiate life.
In 1997-98, he served as the assistant men's basketball coach at McKendree University in Lebanon, Ill. He also was the assistant coach at John A. Logan College from 1995-97, and held the same position at Carterville High School (1994-95) and Carbondale Community High School (1989-93).
A native of Carbondale, Ill., Curtis worked for the Prairie State Games from 1989-94, serving as the director of special events and assistant site coordinator.
Before his arrival on the Danforth Campus, Curtis spent two years working as an outside supervisor at Stonewolf Golf Course from 1997-98 and a year at Gateway National Golf Links as a pre-apprentice assistant in 1998.
Curtis graduated from Southern Illinois University Carbondale in 1991 with a bachelor's degree in recreation administration. He earned his master's degree in physical education, specializing in sports management, from SIUC in 1998.

This may surprise you–and surely horrify my fellow Upper East Side debs–but I have a secret penchant for country music, and Miranda Lambert is my favorite. If you've ever heard "Mama's Broken Heart" then you'd understand my obsession. So, I am inclined to love every look she dons but I must try to stay objective when comparing her CMT Awards look against Carrie Underwood's…
First up, Carrie: she donned a flowy and fun Roberto Cavalli gown and Swarovski clutch and while this gown doesn't seem typical of her usual glitzy sequined looks, I absolutely love it. It's so…riviera! Perfect for the start of summer.
But! Don't throw dirt on Miranda's grave just yet. The newly-slim star rocked an ivory and silver minidress by Celia Kritharioti, and accessorized with some fabulous Manolo Blahnik sandals and a cute Tyler Alexandra clutch.
Well darlings, I'm totally befuddled. I can't even begin to decide which one of these country ladies looked the most luxe, can you? Please, help me decide, my little minions…and please, do keep my country music secret to yourself.

Precociousness Plagues Art Market – artmarketblog.com
Pre*co"cious*ness\, Precocity \Pre*coc"i*ty\, n. [Cf. F. pr['e]cocit['e].] The quality or state of being precocious; untimely ripeness; premature development (dictionary.com)
Last post I wrote about the problems associated with artist's being prematurely promoted to art market stardom by a market that is desperate for new talent. Of particular concern is the rapid rise of many Indian and Chinese artists who have very little (if any) curatorial, critical or institutional recognition yet are selling for the sort of money that should be reserved for those artists who have proven themselves to be worthy of such prices (by having receiving curatorial, critical and institutional recognition). Just because an artist is being sold for big bucks at the current time does not guarantee that their work will ever receive the sort of recognition that would justify a continuation of their status in the market once the hype has died down. It is fair to say that the hype surrounding many of the Indian and Chinese artists will not last forever which means that those artists who are relying solely on an inflated market to define the value of their work will struggle to maintain their current prices.
Super collector Charles Saatchi often buys the work of young emerging artists whom he perceives as having the potential for future stardom and gives these artists a massive dose of media attention and desirability in the process. Although it may seem that Saatchi is doing these artists a favour by making them almost instant art world stars he is in fact exposing any artist he purchases work by to potentially career ending risks. Let me explain. Because Charles Saatchi is such an influential collector there is a tendency for other collectors and dealers to buy what he buys but there is also a tendency for other collectors and dealers to question that value of an artist's work when Saatchi sells their work or appears to lose interest in their work. This may not be an issue for those artists who have other patrons and the curatorial, critical and institutional recognition to support the value of the work but, for young emerging artists whose position within the market is based almost solely on the interest from one collector, the results can be catastrophic. One of the many examples of the negative impact Saatchi has had on an artist's career is that of the Italian figurative painter Sandro Chia. Saatchi purchased a number of works by Chia en masse in the 1980's raising the profile of the artist significantly but shortly after buying these works Saatchi sold the works by Chia. This one event caused the price of Chia's work to plummet and his gallery to drop him from which the artist never really recovered.
The moral of the story is that the curatorial, critical and institutional recognition are extremely important for the long term value of an artist's work so be extremely careful of investing in those artists who do not have the credentials to back up the value of their work in a market that could become extremely selective and discerning at any time. Always remember that current price is by no means a determinant of future value.

Man you hate Saatchi… don't you know he only started collecting good artists in the 90′s?

Hi James,
I actually don't had Saatchi, I just think that some of his practices are questionable. Saatchi does lots of good things for contemporary art which should not be ignored but I questions whether one person having so much power and influence is such a good thing

Hi Joe,
It is definitely worse to have loved and lost than to never have been loved at all but it's how one goes from loved to lost that concerns me

This is an interesting post, & as you rightly pointed out there are many Indian artists producing art of questionable quality who are being promoted actively. The big question is how long can they sustain themselves on hype alone!
But, I'm sure these are issues that are likely to plague any nascent market & where big money is involved.

Hi Nalini, thanks for the comment. You are right that these are issues that are likely to plague and nascent market where big money is involved. Having experienced such rapid art market growth has resulted in India and China being the most affected countries.

Does the average NBA fan even know what team Michael Beasley is on? Probably not (FYI…Phoenix Suns). Going from the #2 overall pick in the 2008 draft to relative obscurity might be taking its toll on Beasley and his bank account. He's trying to unload his 2010 Cadillac Escalade on eBay. This thing would make any winning bidder feel like a real G. Equipped with a lift kit, 24-inch rims and a $17,000 black matte paint job, you'll be riding high looking down on all of the peasants in their normal cars. The real deal…the ultimate head turner. This is a rare find! Formally owned by NBA super star Michael Beasely and is autographed as well. There were no corners cut in this complete custom transformation job. The minimum price hasn't been met and the bid is currently at $25,100. The listing makes a point to tell you how much the paint job cost so we don't expect the minimum price to come cheap. You might need to recruit two or three of your buddies to chip in for this beast. MORE FEATURES FROM BEASLEY'S WHIP: • Custom suede seat inserts with diamond stitching • 24″ Fuel wheels wrapper in 38″ tires • Dual DVD screens, because one just isn't gonna cut it • Four 10″ sub woofers • Only 15,334 miles…practically brand new!

1. The purpose of the program is to establish a more efficient, cost-effective method of purchasing and payment for inexpensive transactions, as well as travel and entertainment expenses. Because we have a credit card program in place with the Bank of America for travel and entertainment, we decided to expand the program to include purchase transactions. The program is designed to replace a variety of processes, including petty cash, local check writing, low-value authorizations, cash advances, expensed purchases, and, in some cases, purchase orders.
2. All cards are issued at the request of your vice president, and card use may be audited and/or rescinded at any time. You are the only person entitled to use your card!
3. These procedures provide the guidelines under which you may use your Travel and Procurement Card. Your signature on the cardholder agreement indicates that you understand the intent of the program and agree to adhere to the guidelines established for the program. You will receive your Visa on receipt of the signed agreement, and you may begin using it immediately upon receipt. Please contact your vice president or the director of business and auxiliary services if you have any questions regarding its use.
4. Each card will be issued in the cardholder name. Embossed below the college's name and logo is a tax-exempt ID number. Inform any merchants you use of our tax-exempt status. The Controller's or Purchasing Office can provide a tax-exempt letter if necessary.
5. Recordkeeping is essential to ensure the success of this program. This is not an extraordinary requirement - standard reimbursement policies require retention of receipts, etc. And as with any credit/charge card, common sense suggests the retention of receipts for your protection. Receipts must be retained by the individual cardholder for a minimum of three years from the transaction date.
6. Finally, remember you are committing Goucher College funds each time you use your credit card.

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. – Hundreds gathered Thursday morning to celebrate and honor the life of Tyler Madoff at a memorial service in New Rochelle's Glen Island Harbour Club.
"The pain will not go away, but we will move forward," said Tyler's father, Michael who addressed the gatherers with wife Marianne, son Dylan, and daughter Mykaela. "We are still a family of five. We will always be a family of five."
The White Plains teen, and Scarsdale student, was swept into the Pacific Ocean July 4 during a hiking and kayaking trip in Hawaii. His body has not been found.
Tyler, 15, was a member of the Pelham Community Rowing Association, which has a boathouse in Glen Island Park. He was also a member of the Scarsdale High School football team.
Tyler's crew coach Guy Monseair compared Tyler's spirit to the amount of supporters who came out to remember the teen-ager.
"Tyler's spirit will live on and will live on forever," said Monseair. He also told the crowd about how the crew team came together and won its first club championship against four-time champion after hearing the news about Tyler.
Tyler's chemistry teacher Nelson DaSilva, English teacher Rachel Warshowsky and cousin Dante Moussapour also spoke about the type of person they knew Tyler as, and how happy or strong he made them feel when he was around them.

Sharp 1798 Quarter Eagle, BD-2, Choice AU1798 $2 1/2 AU55 NGC. Wide Date, Five Berries, Breen-6117, BD-2, R.5. The obverse shows a widely spaced date with the last digit 8 implanted in the lower bust. The BD-1 is the Close Date obverse, with Four Berries reverse. Together they comprise the sole varieties known for the year, with Bass-Dannreuther estimating the BD-1 at High R.5 (25-30 known) and the BD-2 at R.5 (45-55 known). (For many years the Wide Date BD-2 was thought the rarer of the two.) Even within the somewhat primitively made Draped Bust quarter eagle series, both varieties are unusual in their 6x7 obverse star arrangement, a departure from the usual star arrangements of:
With Uncommon 6x7 Star Arrangement
With Uncommon 6x7 Star Arrangement
--8x8. 1796 (With Stars) BD-3.
--7x6. 1797 BD-1; 1805 BD-1; 1806/4 BD-1; 1806/5 BD-2; 1807 BD-1.
--8x5. 1802 BD-1, BD-2, BD-3; 1804 BD-1, BD-2; 1806/4 BD-1.
Note the continual fiddling with the 7x6 versus 8x5 star arrangements, which lasted for a decade: The ordered, pedestrian 7 left, 6 right configuration provides the greatest balance and symmetry for the 13 stars, while the 8 left, 5 right arrangement creates an asymmetrical layout with LIBERTY cascading down the right margin of the obverse.
The Five Berries reverse is notable as well: In addition to quarter eagles, it was used for the production of the 1798 JR-4 dime, then the 1800 JR-1 dime.
This Choice AU piece has bright, reflective fields that are mellowed somewhat by reddish patina, with other areas showing yellow-gold coloration. The definition is sharp throughout, save for some of the reverse stars. There are numerous small abrasions scattered over each side, none worthy of individual mention.

Wroclaw - It took two South African teenagers from Westbury, Malik Baatjes and Emileo Abreu, to set the sixth Acro Gymnastics World Age Group championships alive with a stunning performance on the second day of the event and became the only South Africans to qualify for Monday's finals.
Baatjes and Abreu qualified in the fourth place and according to their coach, Natalia von Willigh, they will go all out to compete for a medal.
"The crowd's participation and applause told the whole story. Out of Africa, exciting new and lively with good coaching and brilliant choreography," former president of the Russian acro gymnastics federation and member of the International Gymnastics Federation, Victor Pestov, said.
Former Belarus champion, Natalia von Willigh, coaches the duo at Golden Lions Gymnastics in Newlands, Johannesburg and their choreography was done by Ekaterina Kalinina from Russia who spent a month at the club earlier this year.
"These two gymnasts are extremely competitive and I once had to separate them when they got involved in a fist fight during a training session. They really did us proud today," Von Willigh said.
Two of the club's gymnasts, Monique Steglen, also from Westbury and Jolien Dreyer stunned the acro world at the 2004 event in France when they won gold in the age group 11-16 women's pair section. It was South Africa's first and only medal ever at this event.

The 'Meet the Pro'-series is your chance to �meet� some of our top players before you have a chance to actually meet them at the tournament tables.
And with this information, back to our regular programming!
You all know him. You all love him. You all are jealous of gorgeous mane of hair. He is the reigning World of Warcraft TCG World Champion. He is a former German Nationals Spoils Champion. He is the first person, to my knowledge, to have his likeness featured on the artwork of a Spoils card. He is Hans Joachim Hoeh!
What drew you into playing The Spoils?
At one of the Pro Tours I played in, Scott Dodson, the former Tenacious Games CEO, approached me and told me about �this awesome new game they were coming up with.� That was even before the Open Beta, when there were only four demo decks available for download to print yourself. I tried the game and was hooked instantly because of the resource management and combat system.
Why do you continue to play The Spoils?Because it is so well designed all around. Lots of time and energy are invested into flavor and artwork, not only the card texts and rules. That shows and makes it an awesome game on all those levels.
What is your favorite moment related to The Spoils?
Although I had many good days with The Spoils there are two things that really pop out: Living the dream, riding the famous Spoils tour bus for two weeks, and getting my own promo card made, featuring me and my girl in the artwork with a lot of personal easter eggs in the background.
(The card he is referring to is the Flabbergasting Philosopher ASS Promo. Look at how handsome he is! - Terence).
Where do you play Spoils the most?
My living room, Bochum, Germany.
What is your greatest accomplishment as a Spoils player?
Top 8ing an extremely high percentage of high level tournaments and winning/splitting the finals of a lot of those was great. But the greatest accomplishment is probably that I did all that back in the days when the game wasn't even sold in Europe at all. I had no local organized play to test my decks at. I designed my decks alone and paid for my flights to the U.S. hoping to win my money back. That kind of absurd commitment is the only difference between myself and Conrad Jackson, Dan Sotelo, and other players with equal successes.
What do you hope to see in the future of The Spoils?
More players, more events, more sets = more fun
Which trade is your favorite and why?
Flavor wise it is clearly Elitism. Inventing and tech-ing things to perfection other people do not even understand the basics of. Yep, thats my style.
What play style would you say suits you best?
Aggro-control. I like to be able to handle everything thrown at me, but I also prefer to be able to win fast once I am in control.
What is your forum handle?
How long have you been playing Spoils?
Since before Open Beta was even released.
If you could describe Spoils in one word, what would it be?
Do you have any advice for new players?
Start with some pre-constructed decks and some friends. Once you are really comfortable with the game flow, start drafting. Drafting is a lot of fun and builds your collection.
What events are you most looking forward to?
German Nationals. Since I surprisingly lost my title last year I am eager to win it back!
Any funny stories to share about The Spoils?
Here is a funny one (at least from the point of view of a Philosopher of Language): Back in the days when I was hanging out with the Spoiler girls, I wanted to pass a compliment. I thought of a funny way to do so with the name of a card displaying an awesome girl in the artwork. Too bad my English wasn't good enough to know the translation of the second word in the chosen card�s name. Calling her an �Entrancing Harlot� didn't quite result in the expected reaction. :D
What is your favorite Spoils format (constructed, seed constructed, seed draft, 2nd edition limited, etc) and why?
First Edition Draft. Good games with lots of complex combats and decisions.
What is your favorite card flavor wise and why?
A Series of Tubes. Look at the picture and Google it in case you don�t know what it is about.
What is your favorite card play wise and why?
Flabbergasting Philosopher. A tactic speed blocker that increases your influence and has my picture on it. LEGENDARY!
Any arch-enemies in The Spoils?
I only made friends while playing The Spoils! However, there are a few that might consider me their arch-enemy ;)

What you discribe is a badly trained stallion and one that has never been socialised properly.
In the uk the M&M show ring is full of well trained well socialised stallions and shock horror they are ridden and handled by children!
I know plenty of stallions that are turned out with thier companion geldings, that wouldnt dream of getting thier bits out when being ridden and given that a lot of them compete to a high level in dressage, jumping or eventing as well then it is obvious thier brains don't go on vacation when they see a mare. In the show ring They are walk, trotted, cantered and galloped in a group of other unfamiliar horses including mares, geldings and other stallions and there has yet to be an incident because of it.
Train a stallion correctly and they are no different to any other mare or gelding.
The stallions at our yard are better behaved. There is one fresh under saddle that has to occassional slip up, but that's also because his rider isn't 1000% all the time. I say 1000% because you've got to keep your boundries and not cross them.
He doesn't nip, but he has tried lipping when I first brought him home. Lipping leads to nipping leads to biting. I push his face away, and he caught on. My mum stroked his nose and he tried lipping. I explained no one touches his face but me when he's worked well- that is his reward and he'll learn that. Learning curve to my mum that this is a stallion now, not a toy ;D
We have had stallions in the area come and use our school. If they can't behave, they're out.. but they are.
Stallions ARE quite common round here.. we are about 1h30 away from the home of the German warmblood for lack of better word, and if we didn't have stallions.. well.. we'd never have foals.. and well... never have riding horses again ;D

I recently had the delight of working alongside Marsha Golemac to shoot all the new website and campaign imagery for Tailfeather, a Melbourne based leather goods brand. All the products are made by hand in the mountains of Tallarook and it was such a beautiful place to shoot. Here are some of my favourite shots from our weekend up there.
