Why Won't Brennan Water Board?
Sometimes an obvious point blows right past us when we are too busy trying to take care of the bills to fully understand what we're hearing.
Case in point. This morning we heard that our CIA Director, John Brennan, declared in a very recent interview that the CIA will never again water board another terror suspect, even if ordered to do so by a US President.
Read about it here: http://www.aol.com/article/2016/04/10/director-brennan-cia-wont-waterboard-again/21341604/
What's the big deal, you ask?
Well, in my mind, the fact that John Brennan converted to Islam some years ago is a very big deal!
Is Brennan's latest declaration on the non-use of water boarding a result of his conversion to Islam? If I were a betting man, I'd have to wager that it most certainly is. Brennan is allowing his "slip to show" on this issue. A Muslim is not going to use enhanced interrogation techniques on another Muslim. It just won't happen. In effect, we are allowing Brennan's Islamic faith to dictate our anti-jihad tactics. Is that good for the security of the nation?
By the way, don't take my word for Brennan's conversion. I learned about Brennan from a retired "old school" FBI, anti-terror warrior by the name of John Guandolo. John runs a web site dedicated to exposing the threats from Muslim jihad at www.understandingthethreat.com. He asserts that Brennan converted to Islam after a stint with the State Department in Saudi Arabia. John's the kind of guy I'd share a foxhole with, but you should contact him on his site and judge for yourself.
For instance, John was warning anybody who would listen about the threat from the mosque in Phoenix where the two Garland, TX, shooters "worshipped." Oh, the FBI was listening to some extent. The Bureau had the chief shooter under surveillance for some weeks before the attack at Garland; however, the surveillance was pulled as the suspect left AZ bound for TX.
Funny how things like that happen, eh?
More Treason!
Please click on the link below to read about Hussein Obama returning two Islamist savages to the battlefield.
Let's see, what else has Hussein done for us lately? Oh, yeah, the US Navy intercepted a boat load of weapons like AK 47's and RPG's shipped by the Iranians bound for Yemen. You see, when Hussein gave the Iranians $150 billion last year, the first thing the mullahs did was to send one of their top generals to Moscow on a weapons buying spree. That trip was widely reported back in 2015.
BTW, you reckon that the shipment bound for Yemen was the first or last shipment of weapons to leave Iran? No, there will have been and will continue to be many shipments bound for Central and South America that will find their way to the United States.
You'll see those weapons being used in your neighborhood!

300 Million Americans Being Led by a Nutcase!
I have attached a short essay written to expose the findings of a top forensic profiler by the name of Andrew G. Hodges, author and one-time assistant professor of clinical psychiatry at the University of Alabama School of Medicine.
Top Forensic Profiler Explains…Obama Is Secretly Letting ISIS Destroy America
Proud Conservative
Andrew G. Hodges is a forensic profiler and was previously an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Alabama School of Medicine.
Hodges' is a best-selling author of several books and most recently authored "The Obama Confession: Secret Fear. Secret Fury" and "As Done Unto You."
Hodges exchanged email with WND and had some things to say about Obama's psychological state that will make the hair on your neck stand up.
This is an extremely dangerous psychological state Barack Obama is currently in and everyone needs to know about it, because it explains so much.
Hodges says, "America's current president is leading us ever so certainly into a worsening crisis that will encourage future attacks by ISIS. In order to learn why, we must appreciate two basic subconscious mechanisms – denial and projection – and Barack Obama's own unconscious mind will take us to the heart of who he is and reveal his deepest motivations regarding the Islamic State."
"Obama's basic denial – 'ISIS is not dangerous' – means he can't consciously grasp the threat." "First, his subconscious admits it has a powerful blind spot about ISIS and must block out its destructiveness. Second, another part of his unconscious – the brilliant super intelligence – teaches us to read through denial to see past that blind spot. This super-intel selects the key images Obama uses in his denials, key images which reveal the truth. Don't overlook Obama's image, the big idea he must deny in his own words – 'ISIS is dangerous.'"
He notes that Obama, before the Paris attacks on November 13, said, "ISIS is contained." And he said, "I don't think they're gaining strength." "Read past the denial. Unconsciously he's aware ISIS' strength is growing as they certainly demonstrated with one of the bloodiest terrorist attacks in Europe's history."
After the attack, Obama said, "If there's a good idea out there, then we're going to do it I don't think I've shown a hesitation to act." Actually, Hodges writes, Obama is declaring, "I am hesitant to act."
Likewise, with Obama's promise the U.S. "will not relent," Hodges said, "What his super-intel is saying is that Obama will continue to relent, doing nothing of real consequence, in fact accepting the ISIS attacks as normal.
"Indeed, he has constructed a new normal by failing to protect America, a stance which he has totally rationalized. In fact, he remains totally submissive to ISIS."
Similar negative circumstances are apparent in his comments about immigrants, Hodges told WND.
"Obama then follows with an immediate plan to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees, mostly Muslims, into the U.S. insisting they are harmless 'widows and orphans.' So he grandiosely proclaims, '[we will] ensure that a refugee is not admitted that might cause us harm.' Reading past his denial, we see that he ensures that terrorist refugees will be admitted. Unconsciously he knows some refugees will carry out attacks. His surface promise of 'the most rigorous [vetting] process conceivable' is a sham. Intelligence officials admit that we sorely lack adequate screening data."
He continued, "How do we know when Obama's denials are the exact opposite of the truth? How can we determine that these statements are secret cover-ups which we can see through?"
He said, "Look at the basic facts. Virtually everyone is hyper-conscious about the threat of ISIS – everyone but Obama. But he remains the emperor with no warrior clothes while only his indoctrinated supporters pretend otherwise.
Another denial and projection provides an important clue to his passivity and secret enabling. He said about the recent attacks, 'The most powerful tool we have is to say we are not afraid.' His conscious message is ridiculous alluding to the fact he does nothing but talk. Weapons – not words – are the most powerful defense we have now. But reading through his key denial confession, 'we are not afraid,' Obama admits he's secretly terrified of ISIS and can't take action. Deep down, he's so frightened he cannot even utter the name 'Islamic terrorists.'"
When a top forensic profiler such as Andrew G. Hodges says these things about Barack Hussein Obama, everyone on the planet needs to take note, because this is a very serious issue and Obama may not even know it's happening to him, which explains so much.
No one in their right mind would make the decisions he makes and be in the severe state of denial he has been in for going on 8 years.
Apple vs DoJ
I'm no constitutional attorney, but here's the nut of the Apple versus DoJ controversy to me.
The FBI (really the DoJ) is NOT DEMANDING that Apple turnover a "thing" that exists.
The DoJ is demanding that Apple CREATE A THING to help solve a case.
There's a great big difference! Since when do American corporations take orders from the same federal government that gave us Fast and Furious, Benghazi, Obamacare, well, you get the point?
Add this issue to the well-known fact that the DoJ has steadfastly REFUSED TO RAID MOSQUES with a direct connection to terror attacks. The Boston Marathon bombing is the most vivid example. Both Tsarnaev brothers "prayed" at the Islamic Society of Boston. Did that mosque get raided after so many people were killed and maimed? Not on your life.
What's a huge reason why the FBI has not raided any mosques? Would the reason be that Saudi Arabia has provided funding for every mosque built in the USA since 9/11/01 and that the Saudis continue dumping prodigious amounts of cash into the Clinton and Obama Foundations?
Yes, that would be the correct. In its basic form, the Saudis have discovered that "pay-to-play" covers more ground than they could ever have imagined. When you see that Saudi billionaire Prince Alaweed Bin Talal has publically pledged $33 BILLION to promote the Islamization of America, it's way past time to take what's going on seriously. You know the prince, he owns almost as many shares of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation as Murdoch does.
When the FBI quits trying to eliminate individual liberty and REALLY takes on Islamic jihad, more people will be sympathetic to their pleas for help.
Until then, why should I support an organization clearly at the forefront of the domestic faux war on terror?

Kerry Earning His Nobel Peace Prize!
I give up!
I guess that Fox News is NOT reporting on the horrendous bombing campaign that killed 127 and counting in and around Syria on Sunday (yesterday) due to an advisory issued by the US State Department's Press Suppression Section?
Yeah, the official line is that John Kerry is securing piece in Syria "for the children." I guess that the annihilation of at least 127 people doesn't fit the official "State Department Press Releases" that portray that John Kerry is walking on water over there.
I hear that John Kerry expects to pick-up a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts.
Heck, if Hussein Obama can be awarded that prize so soon after taking the oath of office, I guess that the Nobel Committee can disregard the body parts scattered helter-skelter and do the same for Kerry?

Pros: Affortable "Mini-Van Substitute"
Cons: Overstated Mileage So Far
Disclaimer: I am not an automobile expert. The only time I have gotten under the hood is when I dropped my keys.
Having said that, I recently traded in my 94 Isuzu Rodeo--- the one without cup holders. My wife and I considered a wagon or van, but opted to look at, in her words, a car-SUV. Or as they are called in the brochure- "Compact SUV's".
The VUE fit the bill perfect. They offer a FWD 4-cyl, AWD-4, and AWD-6. I test drove the AWD-4 and AWD-6 and the difference was NOT worth the $2,000 to me. The dealer told me to go with the 6 if I planned on towing things. Nope. The AWD was a given due to the winters here in Minnesota!
The AWD-4 was really---- peppy. Does that make sense? The dealer mentioned something about a new V-Tech engine. Go to the Saturn site if you want the specifics on the design of that engine as I do not want to bore you. What I did notice is that it is weird getting used to the feeling that the engine doesn't shift. It just smoothly runs. I like it a lot!
I paid about $20,000 for the VUE and got some of the basic features; airbags, ABS, CD player, etc. The car really feels cool. It looks good, and the interior is laid out well. The back seat has seats that split and fold down. It isn't a 50/50 split- more like 70/30. This is really nice because we can have our kid in the rear facing car seat in the middle, yet still fold down the smaller seat section to fit luggage or my golf clubs! Nice. You can also recline the back seat (only slightly) for longer trips. That seems like a nice feature for road trips, but I haven't used it.
I only have about 1,000 miles on the VUE, but I have only been getting 22 miles per gallon. I expected closer to 25, but maybe I have a different definition of "highway" vs. "city". Or maybe the mpg will improve as the car is broken in. What do I know...
Nice car.

The Florida Wildlife Federation is a statewide nonprofit organization, made up of Floridians from all walks of life.
Our Initiatives:
Regional Offices and Programs: See what's going on in your region.
Looking for FWF's Latest News? You can find it here:
Florida Fish & Wildlife News Publication
How to Help
FWF has supported conserving Florida's wildlife and restoring habitats since 1937. The Federation was instrumental in the creation of the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission in 1943, and in merging that agency with the Marine Fisheries Commission in 1999 to create today's Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) – one of only two constitutionally mandated agencies in the nation. FWC is charged with managing fish and wildlife resources for their long-term sustainability and well-being and for the benefit of the people.
FWF was successful in spearheading the state-wide voter initiative to amend the Florida Constitution to incentivize private landowners to permanently protect their properties through conservation easements. Protecting both public and private lands is critical to preserving habitat for wildlife. We also advocate for clean air, clean water and sustainable wildlife habitat.

Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary provides a protected environment where iconic marine mammals such as sea lions, dolphins, porpoise, blue and humpback whales can thrive. It also helps preserve coral reefs and provides a spectacular environment for over 20 species of rockfish. An array of rockfishes occupy habitats ranging from schooling yellowtail rockfish up in the water column to solitary yelloweye rockfish hovering near boulders at the base of the Bank. Due to the extreme depth and dangerous conditions, Cordell Bank is not a site for recreational SCUBA divers. Only highly trained, technical divers have witnessed its beauty and fragility first hand. Their stories, photos, and videos show us what this special place holds.
View a Story Map of the Cordell Bank NMS
Take a visual tour of the Sanctuary via this story map. Photos and video taken with a remote operated vehicle (ROV) in 2014 illustrate the abundance of life in the Sanctuary. Sanctuary scientists add text that explains why this offshore area, 52 miles northwest of San Francisco, is so vital to the health of sea life in the region. The tour explores the geology of the Cordell Bank, potential impact of global climate change and ocean acidification, invasive species monitoring in the Sanctuary, and the ROV as a tool for scientific research.

EDMUNDSTON- Premier David Alward was at Twin Rivers paper Co. in Edmundston today to say Yes to the province's new forestry growth plan.
The forestry growth plan has triggered $600 million in new private sector investments in the province's mills and forestry operations. The result is new jobs and a strengthened forestry sector that will continue to be the foundation of New Brunswick's economy for generations.
"New Brunswick was literally built around forestry and the men, women and communities who have powered this industry for generations. Our vision for the future of forestry in New Brunswick to be even stronger than its past," said Alward.
"Our forestry growth plan will help put more boots in the woods and in our mills and ensure we will sustain good jobs, strong communities, and healthy forests."
As a result of the new forestry growth plan, Twin Rivers Paper Co. is investing $70 million upgrades to its operations in Edmundston and Plaster Rock.
The Progressive Conservative team is the only party with a plan to spur $10 billion in private-sector investments in New Brunswick jobs and communities.
The investments in shale gas and natural resource development will create thousands of jobs each year and generate new spinoff opportunities in every region of the province and every sector of the economy, said Alward.
"When our mills are growing and more work is happening in our woods it creates new opportunities for small businesses throughout New Brunswick. This creates jobs and helps us bring our people home to work," said Alward.
"The Progressive Conservative team is the only party saying Yes to natural resource development that will create jobs and strengthen our communities."

According to a post over at The Verge, Vizio's goal in the future is to "make all the screens in your life", at least according to Vizio's CTO Matt McRae, which explains Vizio's new push into the tablet market. In addition to the previously announced 11.6-inch Windows 8 AMD tablet, Vizio is working on a 10-inch Tegra 4 unit one as well.
The entire tablet is built around an impressive 10.1-inch 2560x1600 display, seen on the Nexus 10, and powered by Nvidia's new pride and joy, the Tegra 4 SoC. It also comes with 32GB of storage space, has Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi, rear and front cameras and a bunch of other standard ports. According to The Verge, the tablet is impressively light and fairly thin, which is always a good thing.
Unfortunately, other than a nice hands-on with the device, Vizio did not want to talk about the precise release date or the actual price.

Welcome to the world of storytelling Class of 2016. Unlike your friends at the schools of business or computer science, nobody really wants you. Employment websites are not filled with high paying jobs for storytellers. Based on a lifetime of hiring new grads, I suspect your writing sucks and your story judgment is nonexistent. Your brains are full of mush. Some of you will finally learn. But your degree is only a chance to get in the door where the real learning begins. If you're lucky enough to get into a real newsroom, over time your writing will improve. But learning to write will consume most of your career -- if you have one. And story judgment? It will take a lifetime of actually experiencing life. Most of you will fail and drop by the wayside into careers of selling real estate or writing news releases. But a few will pass all the impossible hurdles and make it. You will become a storyteller -- a truth teller. And while you will never be rich, you will forever be doing something special.
So special that it's protected by the Constitution of the United States. So special that truth-tellers are honored by every holy book in the world. You will make a real difference on this planet. You will soar beyond the boredom of profits and widgets and computer codes. You will live a life of words, and images and sounds -- and truth and dreams of what could be. You have begun your journey Class of 2016. The climb is hard. The summit is worth it. Good luck.

Someone mentioned that I never use alien/non-human characters in any of my pieces and they're pretty much right. I guess because I tend to focus on a near Earth type future, other species and races get left out, so in the interest of fair representation - I give you the cat people of Zeta Reticuli.
Obviously this is sort of tongue in cheek, but who knows, maybe cats will evolve one day and explore the galaxies? Then again, they have it pretty good laying around all day and doing nothing, so where's the motivation?
Instead of my normal composition style, I tried to give this more of a cinematic feel, maybe like a screen cap from a film. I'm not sure what the story is, but the leader of the recently arrived cat crew appears a little irritated and the maintenance guy at the station doesn't seem to know how to help them. Not sure, but if I were him I would keep an eye on my mouse droid.
Made with Poser, Vue and Photoshop, this one finally gave me a reason to use Sanctum Art's SAK-EX figure and to pull Stonemason's venerable Dark Star out of storage. The hardest part of this one? Trying to get a convincing conversational cat expression :) Thanks for looking!
Image Comments (38)
The expression and body language on the cats are superb! There's a great natural energy and life there. Your lighting design and palette are subdued but active, and they lead your eye around the composition very naturally. The little mouse droid is a wonderful touch. Its an original way to use the SanctumArt figure, thats for sure! Question: Did you scuff up and make the armor look "lived in" in post or on the actual texture maps? In either case, fun and splendid image!
Cool render! I find it interesting how attitudes concerning alien form changes with the times. When "created in god's image" was the prevailing mindset, alien forms were predominantly humanoid. Now that evolution is the more conventional mindset you see aliens taking on the shape and form of other species we find on our planet, but this time evolved to the point of being "human like". In some more rare instances, alien form is totally alien in concept. People in general can not even fathom the possibility anymore that we may in fact be alone in the universe, where once upon a time, it was the reverse. Mostly, just thinking out loud how sci fi goes through these changes to reflect the popular thinking of the day. :O)
Points for pulling un-used geometry off the bench and into the game. Extra points for making it look cool. Please feel free to continue with your regular stellar cast of characters. Unless you can get those cats to sit around a table and play poker! : O
Really fine work JCD (@texboy: Cordwainer Smith ... wow, that takes me back: memories of the '70's, my first taste of tobacco, Led Zeppelin, reading Women of Wonder, Norstrilia, & The Best of Cordwainer Smith, and a journey across the galaxy with the last living man, I refer of course to Kilgore Trout's [Philip José Farmer to those who know] Venus on the Halfshell ... all these things somehow tangled together in my mind -- and,JCD, this image does somehow capture the essence of all of this.) Very nicely done.
Love everything about this, from the venerable models to the way you've combined and updated them, to the humor you've injected into a medium that often takes itself far too seriously. Brilliant work, my friend! And yes, you succeeded perfectly with the cat expression. I get the same expression from mine whenever she is displeased.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a very broad and complex topic. And of course SEO differs a lot with respect to your requirements or the type of your content being promoted on the web. Its different from optimizing a blog to optimizing a 10 page static website or even a Content Management System ( CMS ) on the web. Recently the SEO industry have defined a new category of SEO (Which is a more advanced that normal SEO ) and its called Enterprise SEO. Let me define what is Enterprise SEO :
Enterprise SEO can be defined as the process of implementing and maintaining a set of SEO related projects and evangelizing certain culture (focusing on SEO) inside large enterprise (web related) companies . So now we have to define 'Large enterprise companies (web related)' , to be more precise. Large enterprises are the ones which have more common attributes mentioned below :
- Large number of public landing pages (more than 5000 pages) in which majority of the pages are dynamically created (which are not static HTML pages).
- Contains multiple hosting servers where traffic is controlled by load balancers.
- Update existing landing pages with content and structure changes.
- Adds new landing pages.
- Dynamic user generated content – Reviews, ratings and comments.
- International presence.
- Have good number of competing websites in participating industry.
- Search engine Marketing (Like Google Adwords) is one of their key marketing campaigns.
- Have a strategy to generate high ROI (return on investment).
Here are some enterprises which heavily depend depend on SEO managers to perform enterprise SEO :
- Amazon
- Ebay
- Overstock
- Top E-commerce websites
- Top Content sites like Yelp, Zagat etc
- Top product companies like Apple, Adobe etc
Please check for my future posts which will focus more on topics like top SEO tools for enterprise SEO and role of an Enterprise SEO manger.

I've a flu crapping on me and work is getting to the "bees! in my head!" stage so I'm not feeling very posty, yet I tire of looking at the cheese and ghekin delight. So yes something from the crypt and here are some pics from Cullen Wines from my trip down south a couple of weeks ago. Deserved though, newer wineries and restaurants have drawn attention away from this stayer but I was glad we stopped in for the first time in many years. We just had entrees each and can't remember being so satisfied with such a relatively small lunch. The Pinot was a bit sharp for what I like in Pinot and, inexplicably, I didn't do any other tasting.
The last pic is to further amuse Crafty for making me a rocking good Mapron.

Today we recognize Game Changer Arthur Ashe, a tennis icon and social activist.
Arthur Ashe rose through the tennis ranks in the late 1960s and 70s. He became the first black man to win a Wimbledon, US Open, or Australian Open, and remains the only one til this day. Along with Yannick Noah (French Open), father of NBA player Joakim Noah, he is one of two players to have ever won any Grand Slam singles title. Ashe was the first black player selected to an US Davis Cup team. Throughout his career, he won numerous singles and doubles championships. In 1979, he was ranked as one of the 21 best players of all time.
Throughout his sports career, Ashe began his foray into sociopolitical activism. After being denied a spot in the 1972 South African Open, Ashe used the incident to publicize the atrocities of apartheid in South Africa. However it was after his retirement in 1980 that his political activism really came into fruition. Ashe was arrested for protesting apartheid outside the South African embassy in Washington, D.C. He also fought for Haitian refugees and immigration reform in the US. But it is his work as an advocate for AIDS awareness for which he is most known.
After his HIV/AIDS diagnosis was made public in 1992, Ashe began to advocate for greater awareness of the virus. He fought for safe sex education, and wanted to dispel the notion that HIV/AIDS was a disease only contracted by homosexuals and IV drug users. He went on to found the Arthur Ashe Foundation for the Defeat of AIDS, and the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health. Ashe passed away on February 6, 1993, and his body was allowed to lie in state at the Governor's mansion in his home city of Richmond, Virginia.
Arthur Ashe fought for his titles as an athlete, and fought for the rights of humans around the world as a man.

Three Vanderbilt players were drafted on Wednesday — including two to the same team — as seven area college products were selected on the final day of the MLB draft.
The Detroit Tigers selected Commodores pitcher Will Clinard and center fielder Connor Harrell. Right fielder Mike Yastrzemski went to the Seattle Mariners.
Clinard was taken in the 18th round — 12 rounds higher than 2011 when the Minnesota Twins took him. The redshirt junior from Cross Plans opted to come back for one more year. Clinard, who graduated in May, had a 4.64 ERA and 7-2 record in 27 appearances this spring.
Harrell, a right-handed hitter from Houston, was drafted in the 31st round. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound junior led the Commodores with seven home runs in 2012 but hit just .247. In the last two drafts, the Tigers have taken five Vanderbilt players, including three this year.
Yastrzemski, the grandson of Hall of Famer and Boston Red Sox great Carl Yastrzemski was taken in the 30th round. This past season, the junior from Andover, Mass., batted .276 and drove in 38 runs — second most on the team. A total of six Vanderbilt players were taken in the draft — half of the SEC record 12 taken last year.
Of the local standouts taken on Wednesday, Middle Tennessee State pitcher Hunter Adkins was the highest drafted. The right-handed pitcher from Signal Mountain, Tenn., was taken in the 18th round by the Milwaukee Brewers. The junior was 5-6 with a 5.75 ERA this spring.
Lipscomb left-hander Christopher Nunn went to the San Diego Padres in the 24th round. The 6-foot-5 junior reliever from Memphis struck out 40 in 41 innings. He was 1-3 in 15 appearances with a 5.27 ERA.
Austin Peay State had a pair of recent graduates drafted. Left-handed pitcher Zach Toney was taken in the 26th round by the Chicago White Sox. The D'Iberville, Miss., native was 5-3 with a 3.10 ERA, earning All-Ohio Valley Conference first team honors.
Outfielder Michael Blanchard was selected in the 30th round by the San Francisco Giants. The 5-foot-11, 178-pounder from Memphis hit .290 and started all 61 games this spring.

All diets require time and dependable initiatives if they're going to function.
There is a ton of data that the deficiency in rest can be an essential thing when it comes to adding on fat. When you don't get sufficient sleep, it throws your whole metabolism from whack, and this can indicate an unnatural rise in appetite. Also, you tend to feel run down and you may try to compensate for this particular by eating more meals you think will give you power, such as sweets as well as carbs.

If you have awful insomnia, you might necessitate some healthcare recommendations, yet in many situations you can get much more sleep by going to mattress at an earlier hrs and decreasing the stimuli in the evening.

I'm not a clubber. But the scene outside the clubs does perk my interest. So I can only say what I say by observation or word of mouth. Remember, I've never been in a "Club Club", so if any of you have, let us know what was the best experience for you.
Word of mouth: Marquee (Cosmopolitan), Tao (Venetian), XS (Encore), Pure (Cesars).
I've seen people lined up at 3am at Tao and Pure still waiting to get in. Drais at Bills Gamblin Hall draws an eclectic crowd. I just wonder what goes on inside . . .
I'm suprised you didn't see many hot chicks, my source on Marquee told me that that's the reason he goes there. Wow, the bottles sure are pricey! But I guess you're paying for the atmosphere. I'd bet a few bottles are snuck in there.
One thing I also noticed at these clubs: The women try to dress to kill, while the guys dress as casual as possible. Many look like the odd couple.

A two-month investigation into "swap shops" that sell discounted merchandise resulted in seven arrests and charges against five stores for receiving stolen property, according to an article in the Middletown Journal.
Undercover agents, along with security personnel from Lowe's and Sears, visited five swap shops on Sept. 8 to make "one final sale" of reportedly stolen merchandise, according to the report. After the sales, the officers immediately served a search warrant and found multiple power tools with the serial numbers removed, several GPS units, gas trimmers and electronic devices such as TVs and Blu-ray players.
In one incident, a spokesman for the Middletown Police said an undercover officer took merchandise into a shop with security tags, saying it was stolen property. The officer was told the shop could not accept merchandise with security tags, so the officer took the merchandise into the parking lot, removed the tag and returned to the shop to complete the transaction.
Swap shop employees were charged with various felonies and misdemeanors connected to receiving stolen property and violations of swap-shop regulations. One suspect, 28-year-old Wendell Wilson, allegedly warned some of the other establishments after the police served the first search warrant. Wilson was arrested for obstructing justice, a fifth-degree felony.

Last Update: August 10, 2013
I have been licensed as an amateur radio operator since about 1978. My original call sign was KA5DUU until I obtained my extra class license in about 1990. I became interested in radio electronics when I was about 12 years old and this interest persist to this day. I can never seem to get enough of "radio" in general and this is very hard for many non-amateur radio operators to understand. But once the bug is bitten, you are usually "infected" for life. Even though we all use radio in one way or another in our daily lives it never ceases to amaze me how I can tickle an antenna with a small amount of energy from equipment that I have built and be easily heard on the other side of the world. Just the thought of what is really happening is amazing. Sure, we can all pick up our pocket cell phone 'miracles' and call just about anywhere on the planet but most folks don't have a clue what is really happening to make that connection. What happens when the cell phone or Internet "infrastructure" is damaged or gone? Amateur radio needs zero infrastructure to communicate anywhere on the planet. There is something special about generating your own RF and having it received directly by someone on another part of the planet. What I do several times in a single evening with homemade equipment with no fanfare was celebrated by ticker tape parades for Marconi just a hundred years ago, and it is still no less miraculous!
Amateur radio brings one closer to magic of radio then in any other means can. This interest is shared with many amateurs all over the world and when a contact is made with a far away station it can often be like calling an old friend being as you both already have something in common to talk about.
My radio amateur hobby and radio interest in general has been the major positive influence throughout my life. As a teenager my radio interest helped keep me focused and kept me off of the streets (well, at least during my skeds with friends in Australia ;-). My parents couldn't ever understand why I wouldn't stop messing with that dang radio stuff and they still don't. I have tried to get them "infected" with the bug but it just never took. My wife, Laura, earned her ticket as KA5SGM in about 1983 before we were even married. I think since she was already a ham has helped her understand my obsession somewhat. She has held the call sign KA5SGM ("Steve's General Manager") since about 1983.
I have three sons and they are all licensed too:
It looks like I managed to get the bug to bite all of them! Many years ago I showed my three sons how to solder and how to build a simple crystal set. My youngest son and I built a regenerative 40m receiver together a number of years ago. He insisted that the receiver be able to receive both phone and CW!
The hobby has opened many doors for me that simply wouldn't have existed otherwise. I obtained a third class radiotelephone license in 1981 and then a General Radiotelephone Operator License while I was a radio operator/technician for the coast station WFE from 1981 to about 1985. While attending college, I maintained HF communication with a fleet of about 40 ships belonging to Western Geophysical that were located all over the world. I had a kilowatt amplifier (8877), a 6.5 MHz monoband Yagi antenna at 150 feet, a quad band Yagi at 150 feet, a vertical, and several other wire antennas. That was a fantastic job but after obtaining my degree in electronics I moved on to explore other opportunities. I have since maintained a career in RF electronics that can all be traced back to ham radio experience at a young age.
The interest I have in amateur radio is varied. Amateur radio is really hundreds of hobbies in one and I have had interest in most of them at one time or another. My main interest is the science of radio and amateur radio has always given me a way for me to pursue this interest on my own without government funding, grant, act of congress, etc. I have explored the spectrum from DC to daylight. I've been active on at one time or another on satellites, microwaves, FM repeaters, HF DXing, shortwave broadcast monitoring, and VLF just to name a few activities. My favorite mode is CW (radio telegraphy). Presently, I spend my radio time building and operating QRP (low power) HF gear and experimenting with antennas. I find that I get the most "bang for the buck" (and time) operating QRP CW gear. A quick DX (long distance) contact on 20M (14 MHz) CW with a couple of watts of power and a piece of wire and I've had my radio fix for the day. I have been known to get on PSK31 and MFSK16. MFSK16 is kind of interesting to me because it only recently became available for amateur use. When I was a kid and long before becoming licensed I was tuning around on my dad's old Spartan shortwave receiver and came upon a very unusual signal that sounded like a piccolo. It was years before I learned what it was. It was a type of MFSK (Multi Frequency Shift Keying) transmission that at that time was used mostly by the British Diplomatic Wireless Service. It's pretty cool to be able to use this once mysterious mode myself! Interestingly, the Piccolo's last transmissions were supposed to have been in 1993 and the hams didn't start using MFSK until around 2001 but in 1999 I recorded this unusual Piccolo type of transmission.
With the lack of sunspots these days you will find me mostly on CW (radio telegraphy) on 20m and longer wavelengths so I hope to meet you there someday. CUL until then.

The Love Systems Routines Manual Volume 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the groundbreaking original Love Systems Routines Manual featuring "pickup lines" that allow you to never run out of things to say, and always have something interesting and unique in queue to keep the conversation moving forward.
What is the Love Systems Routines Manual Volume 2?
Routines are pick up lines, stories, one-liners, games, and even answers to tough questions – anything you can say or do to pick up a beautiful woman. It takes the uncertainty out of meeting and dating or seducing women; the only mystery is your friends wondering how you got so good at The Game.
The folks at Love Systems have been collecting the best routines from pick up artists (PUAs) all over the world (going all the way back to the days of The Mystery Method: How to Get Beautiful Women into Bed). Each of the hundreds of routines in the Love Systems Routines Manual Volume 2 also includes commentary from top pick up artists on how and when (and when not to) use each routine. It even includes a bonus chapter from the famous seduction bible, Magic Bullets, by Savoy. (Savoy and The Don were co-authors of the Love Systems Routines Manual Volume 1).
Opening lines (e.g., Openers from The Mystery Method: How to Get Beautiful Women into Bed) are a well-known kind of routine, but there's so much more. Routines to create attraction. Routines to build comfort. Routines that get you from your opener to a normal conversation. Direct openers. Indirect openers. Seduction routines. Day Game routines. And a lot of Comfort routines. As Mystery said, "The Game is played in Comfort."
We were recently asked a couple of questions at Love Systems and thought it would be a good idea to share the respons...

Great tips. For a long time I had problem of shyness. I don't know why but every time I approached some attractive woman and very beautiful, I ended up crashing at the time of the conversation.

YMCA triathlon raises $15,000
MONROE — When Michael Tanzi crossed the finish line as the first person to complete Monroe's first ever triathlon this past Saturday, it marked the beginning of an annual event within the community.
The inaugural YMCA of Middletown Triathlon at the Twin Lakes Waterski Park, to benefit the South Orange Family YMCA, featured participants who frequently take part in triathlons and those who were doing it for the first time.
"You had Monroe, you had Harriman, you had Central Valley, you really had all of southern Orange County involved," said South Orange Family YMCA Branch Manager Ross Miceli. "People were so impressed with the way things came together. It was a great atmosphere. It really served the mission of what YMCAs do across the board and what this Y does in the community."
Fund-raising tallies are being finalized and Miceli expects an estimated $15,000 to be raised. The money will be earmarked for future expansion at the Monroe facility, which opened in February 2011.
While organizers hoped to get 250 participants, they were pleasantly surprised to see they "were just shy" of 300 competitors, Miceli said. Added to that were the hundreds of spectators and volunteers who supported the event as it winded its way through parts of the Village of Monroe as well as the towns of Monroe, Chester and Blooming Grove.
"I think this has got to be one of the bigger events Monroe has had," he said. "We're going to build off this success. This will be our signature event for SOFY. We are already planning for next year."

Take Good Care of Your Hair (and Skin & Eyes)
Being fit is about more than just weight and muscles. It's also about the health and appearance of your eyes, skin and hair.
Kymberly: Our extended family has a great tradition of eye troubles. From nearsightedness to dry eye syndrome to overactive oil ducts to detached retina threats, we know how hard it can be to look good. Or look bad. Well, technically "see" badly. (If we see bad, someone's being naughty!)
Add to that what Alexandra put on her "About Us" page relative to our skin: "As a red-headed, freckly, straight-A, flat-chested, glasses-wearing identical twin, I always had an easy time of it, especially in junior high, when all those differences really helped me blend in. Luckily, I had oily teenage skin to keep me from getting too taken with myself."
Kymberly: Even though we no longer suffer from teen acne, we do still have to keep a close eye on our skin as we sweat daily given our exercise schedule, which can cause itchiness and adult acne. But we do have great hair! (Thanks dad!)
What does all this have to do with health and the personal care product round-up we have in store in for you? Well, perhaps like many of you, we want to look good, see well, and feel great, especially using products that are natural, and "safe." So when we are trendspotting health products we make sure to check out skin, hair, vision, and related clean stuff!
Alexandra: Saturday I did a 5K walk with my 15 year old son to raise money to find cures for eye diseases. Why? Because he has retinitis pigmentosa. So he'll probably never drive, and he can't see well in the dark. I feel sad, yet also determined to do what I can to help him. Since Omega 3 (DHA) is supposed to help, I am going to try to talk him into taking the capsules that our friends at Hanna's Herbs sell because I trust them. If any of you have had luck with the capsules or any other eye health natural products, please let me know.
Since we're also talking about "exterior" care, I'll share some products that I've tried and believe to be helpful and healthy for your appearance.
Nature's Gate Pomegranate Sunflower Shampoo I like shampoo that smells good but not sweet, has ingredients I can identify, and hasn't been tested on fluffy bunnies.
The BackPacket I hate bugs. I hate sunburn. I'm sure I'd hate skin cancer. Whether Kymberly calls me a strawberry blonde or a redhead, I definitely have fair skin, so I like this combo sunscreen/ insect repellent. No DEET, has aloe vera, and not tested on cute hamsters.
Elmore Oil for Joint and Muscular Pain I have arthritis in my knee, thanks to a soccer injury. I love vanilla. This oil has only 4 ingredients: vanilla, olive oil, eucalyptus oil, and tea tree oil. Luckily, the 3 "nice" ingredients balance out the tea tree, 'cause I can't stand the smell of it by itself.
Apriori Skin Care I just started using this after receiving some samples and so far it's great. Some products make me break out, but not these. I have sensitive skin that's red in places, freckly, oily nose and dry forehead, so it's really hard to find stuff that makes my skin look & feel better. If it makes me look the age I feel inside, then it's a winner for sure!
Of course, what I really think would be best after a 5K (or even a 1.5K) would be a lovely steam, music, color, aromatherapy shower from Mr. Steam! I don't actually have one of these, but I know how to dream it, plan it, make it happen…sometimes!
As to the crummy eyes, my kid got it from my side of the family. I would have preferred him to have gotten the red hair. That's my way of saying, "time for my eye drops." I like the ones from Boiron because they don't sting my eyes, even though I wear contacts (Freshlook Colorblends in green to be precise), and are homepathic . Read the ingredients.
Kymberly: I, too use the Boiron homepathic eyedrops as they are preservative-free and cut down on the tearing, stinging eyes I get when I am teaching cardio classes (you know, when sweat runs down my face and into my eyes). Otherwise I look as though I have been sobbing (for joy, of course) after every hard workout.
Then I wash my face with a new skin care system we recently discovered: Kelly Teegarden Organics. To say I have sensitive skin given my activity level and genetics is an understatement. This skin care system not only does its job, but also is chemical free. According to Kelly Teegarden, founder of this product line, the World Health Organization announced that 80% of cancer can be linked to cancer causing chemicals in skin care, oral hygiene, and cosmetic products. When Kelly got cancer she created KTO Organics to remove all toxicity and chemicals from what we put on our bodies. Works for me!
Lastly, you have to get a kick out of a brand new shampoo we discovered at the Natural Products Expo West: Broo Shampoo, made with beer. Apparently women in the 1950's, including Jackie Kennedy used to lather up the locks with beer. Now I actually don't like beer — not the taste, smell, nor empty calories. So I was leery of smelling like a brewery. But Broo Shampoo not only lathers up nicely, keeps my tresses clean and luscious looking, but also it smells really good! So I Broo my do and smell good too!

Hair Threading
The phenomenon of hair threading is growing pretty fast as a styling technique of choice amongst the urban community. I first learned about the technique from some friends, and when I read a recent post from Afrobella, I thought to share what I know about the process.
What is threading? (from Pantagraph)
This is a natural technique using cotton thread to remove unwanted body hair. It's most often used for eyebrows, and other areas of the face.
• The threader unwinds a piece of thread, creating a circle and interior hoop, twisting that.
• The threader holds the midpoint of the thread with his/her teeth, and two other points with each hand, creating a tight triangle of crisscrossed thread.
• If the eyebrow is the area being shaped, the client uses both hands to pull skin above and below the eye taut.
• The threader then rolls the twisted part of the thread along the surface of the skin, using a back-and-forth rhythm, and appropriate use of tension, to create a scissoring effect, entwining the hairs and lifting those from the follicles. The precision method allows the stylist to remove a single hair or an entire line of hair. The process takes about five to 10 minutes.

Rockets find themselves guilty of impatience on offense
Rockets guilty of impatience
Coach, Brooks agree team tends to force offense
Published 5:30 am, Friday, April 2, 2010
BOSTON — The list of options might have been long, but Aaron Brooks did not hesitate in choosing one.
Neither did Rick Adelman, proving that in at least one sense, the Rockets coach and his guard were in sync.
Asked what area they would like to see improved in the season's remaining weeks, both pointed to the offense that has so frequently run itself aground.
"Everybody knows we have lapses in games," Brooks said last week. "We have droughts and stuff like that. Just work on that and eliminate that, and move forward."
Yet, with the Rockets trading baskets with the San Antonio Spurs, trailing by one on the road in the second half, the offense crashed, struggling just long enough for the Spurs to rush to an 18-point lead that sent the Rockets to a fifth loss in six games.
The breakdown was not unlike the 20-0 Lakers run that took over that game, or the night against the Celtics when the Boston defense took apart the Rockets' offense and began the team's slide.
Wanted: Big man inside
"We're trying to get them to have a little more patience offensively," Adelman said. "We have some real deficiencies defensively. We just don't have a lot of size around the basket. We're playing a lot of young guys. (But) offensively, we've run into trouble recently when teams kind of put the hammer on us and we get very impatient and try to jam it down their throats. It really doesn't work that way.
"We don't have a guy you just go to inside that will demand double teams. We have to play together. That's what we're striving for, to play together, understand when you have a shot (or) don't have a shot, it doesn't stop there. Just keep playing. And then we go from there."
With tonight's rematch with the Celtics, the Rockets will face a defense like the Spurs' that loads up on the strong side, trapping Brooks on screens and forcing the Rockets to move the ball.
For the Rockets, the test is not whether they can attack those sorts of defenses but whether they will when an opponent goes on a run and pressure mounts to score.
"When they get surges like that, we have a tendency — and I talked to Aaron about it — to force the issue," Adelman said. "You got to run something. You have to be sure to get a good shot and not try to force it.
"I thought (against San Antonio) we put our heads down and went to the basket when there wasn't anywhere to go. That's impatience when we're trying to make plays. Sometimes, it's easy during the first part of the game. When it starts getting tougher, you can't keep going at it. You have to play together as a team."
Roster turnover
The Rockets hoped some of the improvement and discipline needed would come with time in the offense and with one another. The Rockets have had 21 players on the roster this season with 10 of their current 15 players not with the team before the 2009 trade deadline. With their late-season injuries, they are playing three rookies.
"It's valuable for us young guys, just to give us more experience out on the court," guard/forward Chase Budinger said. "We're still getting used to each other, getting out there, finding each other's hot spots so we can come in next year and have that good chemistry."
But the teams that contend for titles rely even more on their style and systems when things get tough.
The Rockets are searching for that sort of determination, with every opposing run offering a chance to make the improvement that seems close, but so far, just out of reach.
"Continue to execute our stuff for 48 minutes, doing stuff we know we're capable of to get points," Brooks said. "You look at the tape, some of the stuff we're not running hard, not running through plays.
"When people go on a run, we get a little hectic, a little stagnant. That's what's been going on all season. It's like saying the same thing over and over again."

When a power steering pump begins to fail, it will emit a groan when steering from side to side, or you will notice increased steering effort. Of course, the pump could leak also, but a noisy weak pump is most common. Inside the power steering fluid reservoir there is a small filter that can become restricted. The filter is not serviceable separately. If you believe it to be the problem, replace the power steering fluid reservoir. See our tech article on power steering fluid reservoir replacing. If you loose function of your power steering or it takes a greatly increased effort to steer your vehicle, remove the drive belt and inspect the power steering pump shaft. If you can slide the pulley out of the power steering pump, the shaft is broken. You will have to replace the power steering pump.
In this article, I'll go over the steps involved with replacing and bleeding the power steering pump on M62 8-cylinder models.
Raise and support the front of your vehicle safely. See our tech article on jacking up your car. Be sure to wear your safety glasses whenever you work under your car.
Remove the lower splash shields. Remove the drive belts. See our tech articles on these subjects should you need help.
Place an oil drain pan under the left side of the engine.
The power steering pump (green arrow) is located on the left lower side of the engine. This view is from above with the drive belt removed. The pump is removed from below.
First we have to remove the intake air duct that runs from the throttle housing (yellow arrow) to the mass air flow sensor (green arrow).
Working at the fresh air intake, remove the four plastic rivets (green arrows). Use a pair of pliers (inset) to remove the center rivet. Once all center rivets have been removed, pull the duct up to detach it from the vehicle.
Then lift the duct up on the left side while detaching it from the duct (green arrow) on the right side.
Working at the mass air flow sensor, loosen the hose clamp using a flathead screwdriver (green arrow).
Working at the throttle housing duct, loosen the hose clamp using a flathead screwdriver (green arrow).
Next, you will have to rotate the throttle housing duct up toward the left side of the vehicle in the direction of the green arrow. This will detach it from the mass air flow sensor. Once detached from the mass air flow sensor, pull the duct off the throttle housing. There are two small hoses you have to disconnect in the following step. Be careful not to damage them during this step.
Working at the bottom of the intake air duct, detach the plastic line by squeezing the release collar (green arrows) while pulling the line off the duct. Then pull the vacuum hose (yellow arrow) straight off the duct to remove it.
When removing the duct, be sure not to misplace the rubber duct seal (green arrow). The seal will either stay inside the duct or remain attached to the throttle housing.
Working from below, on the left side of the engine, remove the pressure line using a 17mm crows-foot wrench (blue arrow). Do not remove it yet. Leaving it installed until the last minute will prevent dirt from entering the pump. Next, the rear mounting fastener has to be removed. The pump uses an adjuster secured by a nut. The yellow arrow points to the adjustment wheel. The green arrow points to the adjuster lock nut. The red arrow points to the stud end that the nut is removed from. Use an open end wrench and remove the nut from the stud.
Now, you can remove the two 5mm Allen power steering mounting fasteners (green arrows). Once removed, unscrew the pressure line and allow the remaining fluid to drain into a suitable container. The high pressure steering line is sealed with an O-ring. Be careful not to lose the O-ring when removing the line. It can get stuck in the pump and fall out when the pump is removed. Once the line is removed, inspect the O-ring and replace if necessary (O-ring available separately from Pelican Parts).
Next, pull the hose down enough to access the inlet hose. Cut the hose clamp for the inlet hose to the power steering pump (green arrow). Then, remove the hose from the pump. Have a drain pan under the pump, excess fluid will leak out.
Rotate the pump so the pulley is facing up. Then remove it through the subframe area. With the pump removed, remove the pulley and mounting bracket's T40 Torx fasteners. Then transfer over the front and rear mounting bracket and pulley over to the new pump, if necessary. Install the hoses to the new pump. Do not tighten yet. Then install and tighten the front fasteners. Then rotate the plastic adjustment wheel until snug. Then install and tighten the rear mounting nut. Tighten the hose clamp on the inlet hose. Then tighten the pressure hose. Reassemble the remaining items in the reverse order of removal. Once complete, fill and bleed the power steering pump. Before starting the engine, fill the power steering reservoir with clean fluid to the MAX level on the dipstick. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel fully left and right three times. Turn the engine off. Check the fluid level. Add power steering fluid until it reaches MAX on dipstick. When full, the fluid should be clear and foam free. Foam or bubbles is a sign of air in the system.

Astros sign Hall to one-year, $3 million contract
Hall finds a home with Astros at 2nd base
Veteran signs one-year deal with option for 2012
Published 6:30 am, Monday, December 20, 2010
Bill Hall looks forward to finding a permanent position with the Astros and shedding what he considers an unflattering label.
Hall, who has spent parts of his nine-year career shuttling among multiple positions, agreed to a one-year, $3 million deal Monday to become the Astros' starting second baseman.
"I don't like the words 'utility player.' I call myself a baseball player," said Hall, who played for the Boston Red Sox last season. "I'm excited about the opportunity to play one position. I've always said I'm really good at a lot of positions, but if I concentrate on one, I think I can be great. That's my goal — to be a great second baseman."
Hall's deal includes a $4 million mutual option for 2012. There is a $250,000 buyout if the team elects to opt out of the deal.
More pop up the middle
The addition of Hall completes a makeover that general manager Ed Wade hopes will add run production from the middle of the infield. The Astros, who ranked near the bottom of the National League in runs last season, acquired shortstop Clint Barmes from the Colorado Rockies in November. Combined, Hall and Barmes collected 26 home runs last season; the eight players to play the two positions for the Astros had 10.
"The reality from a run production standpoint was we weren't getting the type of production that we really needed," Wade said. "We think both Barmes and (Hall), based on what they've done in the past, provide that for us."
Hall, who turns 31 on Dec. 28, said he had offers from other teams to play different positions, and a few wanted to use him exclusively as a utility player.
Hall signed with the Red Sox as a utility player last offseason but was forced into extended playing time by a rash of injuries. He hit .247 with 18 home runs and 46 RBIs in 120 games while playing left field, second, right field, center field, shortstop and third. Among players with 350 at-bats or fewer, Hall's 18 homers tied for fourth.
Boxes, no; gap, yes
When asked about playing at Minute Maid Park, known for it's short left-field porch, Hall, a righthanded hitter, said he's most excited about taking aim at the gap in right-center field.
"Everybody's talking about the Crawford Boxes, but what I'm more excited about is I can go opposite field again," he said. "That was a huge part of my game obviously in 2005 and 2006, when I was at my best before injuries made me change some things with my swing. Obviously, I've got that back."
Hall is familiar with the NL Central since he spent his first 7½ seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers, producing his best year in 2006, when he hit .270 with 35 home runs and 85 RBIs.
With the move, the Astros are expected to move Jeff Keppinger, who is recovering from a foot injury, back into a utility role.

By Brooke, Charity, Janna,
Missy and Wei Nike's Global Women's Fitness Business:
Driving Strategic Integration Nike - A Brief History Question 1:
Prior to the Change the Game proposal for global women's fitness, home would you analyze Nike's strategy in the women's market? Question 2:
Define and analyze the appropriateness of the new strategy for the women's fitness proposed by the Changing the Game team? Question 3:
Analyze the greatest external barriers facing the team in implementing the strategy? In what ways did they manage these challenges Question 4:
Analyze the greatest internal barriers that Winslow and her team faced in implementing the new strategy. What worked, what didn't and why? Questions? More so than in male dominated segments, the products in the women's fitness category needed to work together both functionally and stylistically.
This new strategy gives women's fitness its own category of focus, instead of the focus being on product divisions such as footwear, apparel, etc (i.e. dance, running, tennis)
The Change the Game strategy is key in the women's fitness segment since it will focus on providing vertical integration of all products within the segment rather than having products developed separately without a common vision.
The new strategy proposed by the Changing the Game team put's Nike in a strong position to capture significant market shares domestically, as well as in emerging markets where women had traditionally have not been allowed to participate in sports are now finding it acceptable to do so.
As of the publishing of this case study, women's fitness was a $6.1B global market with projections having it reach $126.3B by 2015. The huge potential for growth within the market justifies Nike trying to market to women in new ways. External Barriers:
Competitors - Nike faced off against a handful of traditional but well respected brands in women's footwear....also lots of new and smaller competitors
Retailers - locked into their own way of doing business for decades. Would not easily conform to Nike's collection-based approach to creating a "store within a store" for Nike's products
The Consumer - trying to be clear on what "she" wanted exactly, that would lead her to want to buy from Nike
Nike Women worked with their suppliers to make sure that they had the products available together at the same time
Very important for their market •Company started in 1972 by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight
•Main focus was shoes – design, produce and sell
•By 2006, Nike was well known in both domestic and international markets
•In 2006, sales had reached $15 billion
•Mission: "to bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world"
•In 2006, 66% of the business was footwear, 28% was apparel and 6% was equipment
•In the 1990s, Nike looked closer at creating a women's division and even signed endorsements with some famous female athletes
•In 2001, Nike created the global women's division
•Nike opened Nike Goddess stores that were geared towards the women's product line
•Nike's next move took them the next level for their women's division
