it didn ' t feel like me at all ,
kate said .
i felt really bad about straddling this buff guy . i didn ' t like it . i couldn ' t get out of bed for two weeks .
scrappy t had enough graded stakes earnings to run in the kentucky derby ( gr . i ) but ran in the withers ( gr . iii ) at aqueduct instead , which he won . three weeks later he was the runner up in the preakness ( gr . i ) to afleet alex in a memorable triple crown race because the winner nearly went down when the leading scrappy t veered into his path at the top of the pimlico stretch .

maintenance work .
marshall dowell ' s scrappy t has been a strong pace factor in most of his races , but the gelded son of fit to fight gave his trainer every indication that he can be rated just off the pace during his withers victory .
it ' s amazing that horse didn ' t breakdown . when you look at the stills from that mishap it almost looks impossible that the horse didn ' t break his leg .

scrappy t eightbelles , thanks for bringing up scrappy t , one of my favorite horses of the past 10 years . there was something so cool and brave about him . my friend emily frequently galloped him coming up to the preakness and said he was such a neat horse ( emily posts on this board under another name ) to ride . around that time she got to gallop a lot of really classy horses . i loved his run in the withers . such a heart ! and now i ' m so happy that we ' ll see him in eventing competitions - can ' t think of a better horse for a sport . hallie

on cue , the son of northern afleet made a scorching run in the middle of the far turn and was bearing down on leader , scrappy t . but off the turn , scrappy t bore out under left - handed urging from ramon dominguez and afleet alex , right on his heels , stumbled badly . afleet alex ' s rider , jeremy rose , nearly came out of the saddle but both jockey and horse made a stunning recovery . not only did they stay upright , but afleet alex took off and won the race by 4 3 / 4 lengths .
racing fans will be deprived of a rematch between the top two finishers of the dramatic may 21 preakness won by afleet alex . trainer robbie bailes and owner marshall dowell have decided that runner - up scrappy t will not run in the belmont stakes ( gr . i ) june 11 .
while being scrappy , nimble , transparent , collaborative , and empathetic helps you design effectively and efficiently at a startup , there is still one thing you need that cannot be trained .
but race horses aren’t all as lucky as scrappy t . they face a variety of fates when their professional careers are over , usually when the horse is about six years old . danielle mentions a new foundation for retired racers - a program that gives the horses to prisoners , as a sort of therapy for both parties . in other cases the horses are given away , and sometimes they are led to slaughter .
bailes and dowell have been careful in selecting the right spots for scrappy t . , a gelding by fit to fight . in march , they passed on the gotham ( gr . iii ) in favor of the wood memorial ( gr . i ) because they thought the races were too close together .

i don ' t think ramon did anything out of line ,

in a terrifying instant , afleet alex nearly went down after his left front hoof clipped scrappy t ' s right rear . traveling at top speed , the colt - - and jockey jeremy rose - - somehow managed to maintain footing and avoid what could have been a catastrophe in front of a record crowd of 115 , 318 .
scrappy t made three more starts in 2005 , finishing second in the indiana derby - g2 and discovery handicap - g3 . after a hiatus of more than two years , he returned as a 6 - year - old in 2008 . four mediocre efforts were enough to convince bailes and dowell that it was time to close the book .
as they did in their previous roles , mr . teo and mr . caldbeck will take what they call a “scrappy” approach to finding companies with real potential . “the deals we want to do aren’t already in play , ” said mr . teo , who was an early investor in snapchat . “we want to make them happen . ”
on a large desktop monitor , they watched a replay and saw jockey ramon dominguez wind up twice with his whip and come down hard on the left side of his mount , leader scrappy t . recoiling from the blow , the horse veered sharply to his right - - into the path of afleet alex , who was closing with a rush .
danielle’s father , william mason , remembers a young scrappy t “so mean his first trainer slid the feed bowl under the stall because he was so scared of him . ” marshall dowell is the horse’s owner and william mason remembers that “after marshall had him snipped , he became a totally different horse . . . he got his mind off the women . ”
i ' m gratified . i feel very lucky to be in this position , but at the same time , i can ' t get caught up in the emotions , because i have a job to do ,

on at least one occasion , women were told they couldn’t bring any male “ + 1s” to a party anymore , only more girls .
i couldn’t stress this enough . meeting people while on the job search doesn’t need to be transactional . build the relationship with the person , and something will come of it in the future . everybody has needs , you’d be surprised how quickly you can make yourself a fit .
scrappy t gets a daily workout , fox hunts , takes sundays off , enjoys good hay — “not the crappy stuff , ” said williams — and relishes peppermints . and he isn’t left alone in the fields with the other horses . “he’d just let them beat up on him , he’d get kicked , and he’s a two million dollar horse , ” his handler modestly concedes . the “they” williams refers to are the miniature ponies that stalk the field next to the barn ; and they’re not impressed by track times .
“i think he’s a good guy whose ego got ahead of him , ” said one long time member of teo’s party circle . “ [ when teo heard the allegations against caldbeck ] why didn’t [ teo ] stop and make this a priority ? it just shows you don’t care . ”
while we should hone our design craft , dot all our i’s and cross our t’s , these pixel - perfect mockups should be shown last .
but the what - ifs don ' t diminish the one indelible moment of that season — a horse and rider displaying the courage of champions .
it was a triple crown season of what - ifs . what if afleet alex went down and scrappy t was disqualified ? third - place finisher giacomo might have headed to the belmont with a shot at the triple crown . what if afleet alex had prevailed in the derby ? after all , he followed up his remarkable preakness victory with a thoroughly convincing seven - length win in the belmont .

he hit him one time ,
passmore said .
how many horses do you hit left - handed and they don ' t move ?
the thing is , he was probably the soundest horse i ' ve ever trained ,
said bailes .
i ' ve had a lot of sound horses that couldn ' t run , but i don ' t think i ' ve ever had a sound horse that could run as fast as he could .
dickhertz , iirc , the owners and trainer agreed with your impression that the horse never fully recovered from the afleet alex incident . i had the chance to visit scrappy and danielle shortly after his retirement . he ' s an awfully handsome horse and very lucky in his connections .
hi l . ! we had herbert t on the trainer listings for a bit but i think he was sold within the track to another trainer to continue racing .

in the first days of our businesses , most of us solopreneurs are pretty scrappy , wearing the hats of ceo , intern , graphic designer , writer , and sales rep all at once . but there’s a reason you don’t see tim cook at the genius bar in the apple store or elon musk servicing teslas . to truly become the head of your own company , you need to develop the leadership skills to delegate tasks and inspire your vision in others .

the best part of my whole experience was in that test barn . there we were , two delaware park barns ? – ? every one of us who saw each other day in and day out with two of the greatest horses of our barns ' careers . nobody was more happy for each other . there was just celebration ? – ? our grooms , their grooms . we were hugging , i was petting alex , they were petting scrappy . it wasn ' t like two separate entities that never intertwined . it was the greatest memory of my life . ten years removed from the whole thing , i have the same opinion . scrappy was one helluva horse .
the momentum was startling . not all of kate ' s fellow models were welcoming , and she partly understood : she didn ' t think she was tall or beautiful enough either . she knew very little about fashion and clothes and had no real sense of style , but she worked hard and you could shoot her from any angle ; not one was bad . kate was enthusiastic , candid and scrappy ; she was not to be bullied and she knew how to be a bitch .
“you have to be the party girl to be surrounded by them , ” said one former member of the group , on the condition of anonymity . “they invite tons of people ,  and then rules start coming out .  . . they don’t want you to be too much of a career girl , because they aren’t fun to hang out with . ”
my friends who work at big companies get driven home in luxury town cars when they work late . entrepreneurs don’t have those luxuries . here’s how mike handled late nights at work .
but the process wasn ' t always easy or straightforward .
for me , the hardest lesson i learned was getting my credit cards ripped up ,
he says .
i would charge something and think i would be able to pay it off and then not be able to . i can ' t tell you how many credit cards i had ripped up .
today , few cities in the country combine economic dynamism with affordability . new trends , meanwhile , demonstrate that while some people are still moving , their reasons aren’t what they used to be .
i had to be self - motivated to work ; i didn’t have a boss calling me if i was late delivering . if i couldn’t do my route for some reason , like if i was sick or had a band practice after school , i had to hire one of my friends or my parents to cover it for me ( and yes , my parents accepted the payment ) .
“i learned that lesson quickly . i didn’t want to waste any time trying to code or figure out how to set up webpages . even though i wasn’t making enough money , ” she explains , “i decided to hire a virtual assistant who specialized in tech development to help me get all of my online properties set up properly . it was like i was buying back my time . ”
i didn ' t have a car that cost more than $ 200 until i was 25 , i think ,

meet generation impatient : the growing group of 20 - and 30 - somethings who are smart , ambitious , and all - too - eager to quit whatever it is they’re doing right now to get promoted , acquired , or make more money somewhere else . hating your job on day three ? leave and find something better . beta launch didn’t work out ? shut it down and move on . although these individuals come in different forms — from buttoned - up investment bankers to scrappy entrepreneurs — one thing is consistent : they just won’t wait . taking great pride in failing fast and increasingly looking for ways to “hack” their success in the shortest possible time frame , this group tries to exchange predictable linear career growth for an exponential trajectory .
it was baird , though , who’d called sanders and encouraged her to take the job , trusting her at the time to preserve the institution . sanders had been her husband’s chief of staff in the house of representatives and his closest political ally . “she allowed bernie to implement some of his ideas , ” says baird . “he’s a dreamer , and she helped him put those dreams into policies . i don’t know where he’d be without her . ” trustees hired her to do a similar job : midwife to a scrappy sixties - radical school .
read on . i’ll explain to you what i did to combat this and how little it actually affected me later on , because trust me , the rejection definitely didn’t stop to care about my feelings .
what’s the worst that can happen ? most of the time , the worst is something that is not really that bad . the worst for me ? going back home to my parents house in atlanta and living there until i could figure something out . don’t get me wrong . i’m 24 , and don’t want to be living in my parent’s basement . but hey , again , it’s not really that bad .
nine of the 20 fastest growing metropolitan areas in the country are retirement destinations in which deaths outnumber or roughly equal births . to put it grimly , nearly half of america’s fastest growing cities are fueled not by scrappy citizens in search of a better future , but by retirees making one last move to spend their remaining days in a pleasant place .
“more often than not , even though they know it’s a good idea to take the next step with you , they’ll usually talk themselves out of making a commitment : ‘i don’t have the time , i don’t have the money . ’ you have to hold the vision for the person on the other end of the phone to help them overcome their objections , ” she says . “the phone = financial freedom . ”

my horse felt like he was looking around when we came into the stretch , but i wasn ' t expecting him to have any problems ,
dominguez said after the race .
when i hit him left - handed , he didn ' t like it and came out unexpectedly . it completely caught me off - guard . . . . it ' s still hard for me to believe he did something like that .

i was interested in his thoughts on self publishing / just starting your own publishing company . most wannabe authors i know regard getting a book picked up by an established publishing company as the end goal and treat not being able to do that as failure . i ' m guessing most people aren ' t aware how little of the retail price actually goes to the author or need the validation of having a publishing company tell them their book doesn ' t suck .

i think corinne actually helped kate come to terms with the fact that she wasn ' t like those models , but she wasn ' t not beautiful ,
says neil moodie , who got his big break as a hairstylist with corinne in the early ' 90s .
corinne started taking the pictures she did to prove a point , really ; to go , ' well , there ' s beauty in lots of people . it ' s not just one type that should be in a fashion magazine . '
“i want to earn as much money as i can in the next five years , then retire . ” i couldn’t help but think that carol was setting herself up for disappointment and sabotaging her own career with an unrealistic plan to scramble up the investment banking industry ladder .
it ' s just a normal routine to show respect to the starter . they don ' t actually request it , but it ' s a good thing to do to familiarize your horse ( with the gate ) and the assistant starters with your horse ,
ritchey said .
i remember seeing a yahoo article about track horses and their demise in pr . it wasn ' t pretty ( photos ) but a better end to those that get shipped for 1000 ' s of miles to mexico ! horses are a luxury especially in an island situation where most things are imported . i ' m sure pr has alot more resources than many of the cariibbean islands but i know sometimes things are in short supply so as sad as it is i ' m sure lots of excess horses to take care of and feed isn ' t high on the priority list

i don’t think it’s a coincidence that some of the most successful entrepreneurs were b students who later dropped out of college . as mentioned before , non - college graduate entrepreneurs include mark zuckerberg , steve jobs , bill gates , richard branson , larry ellison , just to name a handful .
nothing serious ,
ritchey said .
it just took a little hair off . we ' ll have to monitor him for three or four days . i ' m concerned about a muscle injury because he was contorted in a way horses aren ' t supposed to be .
at least some of those women believed the party culture was used as a way of exerting control over them , of taking advantage of a power asymmetry between powerful men in the industry and women who wanted to be part of it but didn’t have a lot of paths to making that happen .
what a steal for them , right ? and all for just $ 15 worth of parking . well , it might have been a steal for them , but i couldn’t have been more grateful . i credit most of my interviews and coffee meetings to this experience , but more on that later .
i’ll cut to the chase . after a few questions , it was very apparent we weren’t going to get through to the next round . we had zero business model , no real working prototype to download or in an app store to show — we made this in one night for pete’s sake .
i was thin ,
kate said ,
but that ' s because i was doing shows , working really hard . you ' d get to work in the morning , there was no food . nobody took you out for lunch when i started .
kate spent much of 1993 in tears . this was the same girl who ' d once been told by her mother that life wasn ' t always fun and refused to believe it :
why the fuck not ? why the fuck can ' t i have fun all the time ?
now she was beginning to see .
if my career had turned out like the fantasy i had of what it was going to be , it would never have made me happy . but i couldn & apos ; t have known that until it didn & apos ; t happen . i found a success that is so much bigger and deeper and better , and it & apos ; s because it happened later . if any of what i & apos ; m having happen now—the successes—would have happened to me when i was younger , i would have been ruined . because when you & apos ; re young , and things come super easily to you , and you have success right out of the gate , you & apos ; re liable to think that & apos ; s how it actually works . you start to think you don & apos ; t need to be fully prepared or committed to have these things meet you .
yeah , that quickly dropped to 25 messages a day . i noticed at 50 , the quality of my emails became poor . i wasn’t doing enough research on the person i was emailing beforehand and was essentially using a cookie cutter email template . therefore , my response rate was low . really low .
he looks like he shipped great ,
rose said .
it was a long ride , and we took it easy with him today . he didn ' t even get a bath because it was too chilly . he ' ll gallop thursday morning to get a look at the track .
i apologize , i have been awol for far too long . after the article came out i connected with danielle on facebook . i have just sent her a quick message with the link here and told her how you all were curious about scrap . she said she would come on over and give you an update ! ! sadly i am unable to fill you in my life at the moment as i am deeply ensconsed in my mother ' s retirement dinner at al , this evening in san francisco . the speech is written but not yet memorized . sadly for today this takes presidence . but danielle should be by soon . and at this point she has him , all i have are memories . but the old threads are out there on google just type ( in quotes )

now , you have a reason to follow up with a name or two of people they know that might be of interest to you . again , can’t stress this enough — try not to make this transactional . it pays ten fold to maintain relationships . a prime example unfolds later on in my story .
when you own a business , solving problems is a daily activity . customers have problems . employees have problems . computers have problems . you can’t bury your head in the sand , you need to evaluate your options and choose a path to go down , even if it ends up being the wrong direction .
it was an unhappy set . wahlberg spent some downtime tugging his dick while kate rolled her eyes . he made it clear that kate , to him , was nothing special .
i wasn ' t into the waif thing ,
he said later .
she kind of looked like my nephew .
sources have told me how teo would dangle invitations to exclusive parties - packed with investors and other influential people - in front of would - be founders , then subtly place expectations on them if they wanted to stay in the group . who they talk to , who they don’t , how they act , that kind of thing .
the culture at large didn ' t see kate that way . up against the skyscraper supermodels of the ' 80s , their very perfection a comment on american supremacy , a small - boned , flat - chested model like kate moss was heresy . someone her size hadn ' t been seen since twiggy in the ' 60s ; suddenly , kate and calvin klein were accused of promoting anorexia , heroin use , child pornography , and the downfall of western civilization . she was on the sides of buses , kiosks , and pay phones , naked and draped across a velvet sofa in a ramshackle room ,
feed me
often scrawled across the ad by protesters .
he was a bit hard to handle in his earlier years , but as we all get a little longer in the tooth , we settle down ,
dowell said .
he truly , truly is an absolute gentleman , a delightful animal . you know , everybody always wants to say ' look what he did for me , now i ' ve got to do this for him . ' well , in scrappy ' s case , you want to keep him and you want to be around him . . . because it ' s about what he does for you now .
everybody should find something that motivates them to do better than they did yesterday . for me , part of that was alex — the man who lived life to the fullest . it would be an incomplete story without mentioning him . i wouldn’t be half of where i am today without him . miss ya , buddy — this one is for you .
if time pressure isn’t enough to motivate you to complete your task , add rewards upon completion . it could be a walk around the block to get some fresh air , a freshly - brewed cup of coffee , or a box of chocolate . a reward system also helps you find a balance between work and rest , allowing you to accomplish more .
i will admit , until this year , i myself had let this one slide a bit . with 2015’s and 2016’s surge in webinars , online classes , and virtual summits , i’d come to rely exclusively on making sales through digital means . but as sumpter points out , “everyone wants to sell through a website , and websites don’t make money . ”
experience was a major player , and there’s always room for more of it . if you don’t have it , find a way to improvise for it . it may not be through a job , but a side project , cheap contract role , or even just helping out a friend . it can all prove to be valuable down the line . win small .
plan for the immediate future . getting caught up in the uncertainty , i often found myself imagining every possible scenario that could happen . it’s important to understand winning small adds up . plan for the small things on a daily basis to set yourself up for the larger goal . don’t get caught worrying about things out of your control . it does you no good .
this , despite john galliano having chosen kate—who he regarded as his
lolita
— to open his spring / summer 1990 show . kate hadn ' t eaten all day and was terrified ; when the show was over , she went to the after - party and guzzled so much whiskey that she missed her flight the next day . she was hungover and disoriented and intimidated and she loved it .
when i used to come back to croydon and get into our car , which wasn ' t air - conditioned—and a house with no pool—i was like , ' i ' m not staying here forever , '
she ' d later say .
i never had that feeling of , ' that ' s your lot . '
by all accounts , she was succeeding : by 1993 she had been hired to shoot editorials for elle uk and i - d , ads for barneys , and the first miu miu campaign . still , corinne was bitter that calvin klein hadn ' t hired her for the kate campaign .
it was that kate looked like how kate would look when corinne photographed her ,
moodie says .
“i’ll give it two weeks . if i don’t sign my first retailer by then , i’ll shut the company down and do something else . ” i had asked sam to lay out his strategy for the new venture he had launched six months earlier . the plan made sense , except that he was trying to cram three months’ worth of important groundwork into a near - impossible 14 - day time frame .
i think the race will set up well for my horse . i don ' t think you ' ll have a suicide pace like you did in the derby ,
he said .
i think the riders will be well aware of the pace they set in the derby . the heads - up riders are certainly going to take back a bit and not be going quite as fast .
we can’t know if any of teo’s friends agreed to his request , or if all the declarations of love and respect for teo that followed were spontanious and heartfelt . what we do know is that teo’s facebook post was followed almost immediately with a barrage of messages , including several aimed directly at us , complaining at how badly “great guy” teo had been treated . many of those messages came from young women .
“i had a wife and a 3 year old and no savings when i started my company . my wife and i talked and said , ‘what are we going to do ? where are we going to live with no income ? ’ our parents wouldn’t let us back in the house . so we moved to a retirement village . that’s where i lived when i was 24 because it was safe and affordable . ”
when kate was eighteen , she took a meeting with calvin klein on her own , walking into the room in jeans and no makeup while a string of hopeful models—cindy crawford among them—waited in reception . kate flopped down on the floor , and for a moment , the room was still : while klein ' s brand was in crisis , he was nonetheless a legend , and one didn ' t take such an informal tack .
aw excellent interview as always . i gotta ask isn ' t it a little interesting for michalowic to say that you have to love / be completely what your business is ? one could argue that his company investing in a leatherworks company that produces “high performance knife sheaths” may be a little ( at face value of course ) outside of the know of say someone who still has a viper in their driveway . just a thought .
to be absolutely clear , in four days of phone conversations with sources about jonathan teo , i certainly didn ' t hear any stories of the same kind of breathtakingly clumsy sexual harassment that justin caldbeck was involved in . rather , what i heard time and time again is that teo used parties and social events to play a more sophisticated game of “access” with young women who were keen to break into silicon valley ' s inner circles .
it wasn’t until i started working at zurb that i learned the importance of sketching . on my very first project , my design lead told me to deliver 50 opportunity sketches . it was a struggle to get fifty ideas on paper , but i noticed i was able to generate bigger concepts and innovative ideas more quickly . with more practice , the 50 sketches became an easy task , and it is now my favorite part of the design process .
every digital entrepreneur has heard it time and time again : the money is in your email list . “it takes 90 days to attract at least 2 , 400 new people into your audience on an email list , ” says shanda sumpter , a business coach and ceo of heartcore business . “if you haven’t built a list yet and are busy trying to build a website , work on your branding , or create products , then stop ! ” sumpter says .

justification : trachycystis haygarthi is known only from two forests , separated by only 35 km . the extent of the two forests are 2 , 800 hectares and 620 hectares . total area of occupancy is thus probably less than 3 , 500 hectares ( = 35 km² ) . although both forests are formally protected areas , the degree of protection afforded by this status is limited , particularly in the case of nkandla forest , and a decline in the quality and extent of the habitat is probable
the exceptionally striking dlinza pinwheel ( trachycystis clifdeni ) immediately stands out for the unusual whorl of bristles that radiate out from the edge of its shell , somewhat resembling the pinwheel firework after which it is named . the fragile , almost translucent pale - brown shell is a spiral shape with up to five whorls , sculptured with widely spaced axial riblets ( 2 ) .

this rare , pale - coloured snail is probably most notable for its highly distinctive whitish shell , with a conspicuous chestnut - brown border to the outer edge of each whorl creating a bold spiral pattern . the creamy - white foot is semi translucent with brownish - grey colouring towards the front of the upper - surface , and the tentacles are grey .
this south african endemic is known only from two small forests , nkandla and entumeni , kwazulu - natal , which are separated by only 35 km ( 1 ) .
classified as endangered ( en ) on the iucn red list 2006 ( 1 ) .
despite formal protection , the remote , rural forests in which this snail is found continue to be used by local people and their livestock , and this disturbance threatens to destroy and degrade critical habitat for this species ( 1 ) .
both forests are formerly conserved areas under the control of kwazulu - natal wildlife , and as such , are afford a degree of protection . however , the actual levels of protection provided on the ground are limited , particularly in the case of nkandla forest , and local communities may be having a detrimental impact on these forests and the wildlife they support ( 1 ) .

nothing is known of the dlinza pinwheel’s reproductive biology , life history patterns or feeding behaviour .
the dlinza pinwheel is known only from dlinza forest , in the province of kwazulu - natal , south africa , which covers an area of just circa 250 hectares ( 1 ) ( 2 ) .
a unique snail , the dlinza pinwheel is found in coastal scarp forest ( 1 ) beneath leaves of understorey vegetation , under fallen logs , in leaf - litter , and occasionally in damp swampy areas ( 2 ) .
the dlinza pinwheel is classified as critically endangered ( cr ) on the iucn red list ( 1 ) .
the dlinza forest is officially protected and is under the control of ezemvelo kwazulu - natal wildlife ( 1 ) ( 3 ) . however , the forest’s location within an urban environment does give some cause for concern . furthermore , the dlinza pinwheels ' very limited distribution means that it is highly vulnerable to the damaging effects of extreme stochastic weather conditions and climate change ( 1 ) .
the fact that dlinza forest is an officially protected area , supported by an enthusiastic local community , does confer a degree of protection to the critically endangered dlinza pinwheel . nevertheless , the small and exposed nature of its home means that this rare and fascinating snail remains somewhat helpless to the changing world around it ( 1 ) . more research into the ecology and behaviour of this small but captivating species may help unearth valuable information to help guide appropriate conservation action and bring the diminutive ‘pinwheel’ back from the brink of extinction .
