How to tell if you're in over your head on a personal project in a few easy steps
Just ask yourself the following questions:
- Are you 50% or more over your initially planned budget?
- Have you had more than 2 home depot runs in the same weekend?
- Have you said "Fuck it… that'll do" at any point during the process?
- Have you had to initiate an RFQ process with vendors for custom made parts?
- Have you made the decision that no matter the road block, no matter who you have to kill or whatever the fuck else gets in the way, you're going to finish what you started no matter how small the damn return?
- Even if it turns out to be a giant turd?
- Or doesn't?
You're probably in over your head.
Also. Aguirre: Wrath of God comes to mind right now.

Eagle Creek Pack-It Half Cube 1 1
Good size for most suitcases I choose to use this size packing cube for my first experience with this system of organization and I was very satisfied with the outcome. I used my smaller suitcase, about 22", and got four of these units across the top. Each one held more than I thought at first glance. I got 10 pair of underwear and 4 soft bras in one cube. Used one for pjs, one for socks, and one for miscellaneous stuff. August 16, 2014

Headshaving has come a long way, baby!
Before the Michael Jordan/Bruce Willis/Vin Diesel/Woody Harrelson/ 'shave my head' cool; there was only Telly Savalas and Yul Brenner who gave thousands of men hope that, sans hair, they could still have some mojo. Obviously twenty years later shaving your head, if not for charity, is no longer newsworthy. But the original guys who pioneered the look are still the basis for which all others are judged.
HeadBlade is the original, and best, headshaver on the market. And we're proud to work with our hero, Telly Savalas. Look for our ads in Telly's old beat (Manhattan) for the next two months and on our website.

Cody Latimer had a look in his eye, an unusual energy, as he and his Indiana teammates prepped in the locker room for their game against Bowling Green on Saturday.
He was actually smiling around, fellow wideout Shane Wynn said. He usually doesn't talk, but he was smiling around, playing around in the locker room and things like that.
Not the reaction you'd expect, given the circumstances.
Latimer, a 6-foot-3, 215-pound junior, was named one of the team captains before the 42-10 rout of the Falcons because his dad, Colby, had played for Bowling Green.
He died of colon cancer in April 2005, when Latimer was 12.
I got so down, so depressed, Latimer, a Dayton native, told the Dayton Daily News in 2010. I felt all alone, ... like I'd lost everything in the world.
Latimer went out Saturday after just five catches in his first two games and reeled in six for 137 yards and his first touchdown of the season. Latimer, who led the team in receiving yards in 2012, got a bit of help from his teammates in that regard.
I could have gone either side, really, for the touchdown, sophomore quarterback Nate Sudfeld said of his throw to Latimer in the end zone. I just kind of wanted to feed Cody this time. I know this was a special game for him.
All of his teammates did.
IU coach Kevin Wilson made a point of talking to the team about the importance of this game for Latimer.
At the end of the day, Cody was really balling, senior running back Stephen Houston said.
It was more of Cody pushing us. He scored a touchdown – first one down there on kickoff.
He was chattering, too, a rare sight in the locker room and even on the field. Latimer is a quiet guy. He lets his play talk.
On Saturday, he let himself go and put up a season high in receiving yards for himself and the receiving corps.
His teammates, all wearing 98 on their gloves – Colby Latimer's number as a linebacker for the Falcons in the mid-1980s – were thrilled.
Today, we just said, Hey, let's feed the beast.' Cody's our beast, and we fed him, senior wideout Kofi Hughes said after the win. You really can't contain him. You really can't hold him back.
We said just go out there and ball for your dad, you know? And beat his team, just like he would probably want you to now. And that's what he did. He had a great game.
Latimer didn't know much about his dad. While Colby was a part of Latimer's life, Colby was separated from Cody's mom, Tonya Dunson.
Still, Dad was there, and he remained a motivational force for Latimer.
Even on Saturday.
He always wanted me to do my best, Latimer said of his father.
When I was a kid he always wanted me to play football, that was his dream. Kid, you're going to play football.'
So Latimer, when the time came, spurned his first love – basketball – and went to college to play the sport his dad had.
It was the right choice. Saturday, Latimer sent his dad a thank you in a pregame prayer.
It was kind of special, Latimer said. I just talked to him before the game and said, Be with me. Stay with me, and I'm going to go out here and play my best.'

Lest We Forget, Rome Wasn't Built In a Day
I've actually been thinking about this topic for about two weeks, and to be honest it would have probably been slightly more appropriate before the recent stretch of divine intervention, but I digress…
The 2008 Cubs were the best Cubs team I've ever seen. (Considering the amount of bickering that has been going on recently I'm sure this will be debated, but statistically speaking and seemingly intangibly speaking, they were one of the best.) They could beat any team and no matter the defecit, they were in every game. Almost straight through from April to September, the 2008 Cubs ran in to few glaring issues that ever threatened their chances of winning the division and they ended up clinching a week before the end of the season. That's when the fun ended.
From one of the greatest offenses in club history to one of the biggest eggs laid in playoff history, that team took a nose dive. But that didn't even seem to be the worst part. Nor was the worst part that they were so dominant all year and were being discussed as the easy National League representative in the World Series. The worst part wasn't that pretty much the entire team, with a few notable exceptions, was expected to come back in 2009. The worst part wasn't even the fact that I had accepted that we sh*t our pants in the playoffs, not even that mattered.
No, the worst part was that I was convinced that no matter how good the 2009 Cubs were, the entire season would just be one giant pressure cooker set to implode in October. I was sure that from April through September it wouldn't matter how big our lead was, or how dominant our run differential was. The only thing that would matter would be 3 games in October.
Think about it this way: on June 22, 2008 the Cubs were 20 games over .500, had a 4.5 game lead and a +112 run differential! That team was unstoppable. I truly felt in my heart that last year was going to be the year. As we all know, it wasn't.
Exactly 1 year later we are 3 games over .500 and only 2.5 out of first place. Oh, and our run differential? +12. Exactly 100 runs less than where we were last year at this time. That's not going to last. This team is virtually the same lineup. They will hit. And the playoffs? No one's talking about the playoffs; no one is saying this is a lost season unless we get out of the first round. All of the pressure right now is on having a successful season and making the first round. You could even almost make the argument that stumbling and sputtering through the first 2/5ths of the season could be the best thing to happen to this year's team. Now the pressure isn't about "Yeah, you're winning, but what about in October? What you're doing now doesn't matter until you win a game in October." The pressure is about now. It's about a division race in the middle of the summer. Something the 0-for-October team from last year didn't have to deal with.
I'm not being naive, either. This team is by no means perfect and currently has plenty of holes. They've frustrated and infuriated me all season, but this division is still there for the taking. They are the best team in the division, and I don't think many would disagree that even in third place it is still theirs to lose. The two teams ahead of us whom we beat by 7.5 and 11 games last year? They got worse.
Look, (imagine Uncle Lou here) the point is there's nothing wrong with a little adversity as long as you learn something from it. At this exact point last year The World Champion Phillies were coming off a 5 game losing streak (in the midst of a 1-7 stretch), only 7 games over .500 and a 1 game lead in the division. I bet anything they'd say the adversity and challenges they fought through the entire season are what propelled them to be the last team standing at the finish line. Let's keep this in perspective. It couldn't hurt. Go Cubs.
This is spot on. I read many
This is spot on. I read many a blog post in October that pointed out the relative ease with which the Cubs waltzed into the postseason last year, in contrast to how the Phillies and Dodgers had to fight tooth-and-nail to win their respective divisions.
Hopefully the Cubs can benefit from this struggle, along with a boost from the "Manny-like" addition of Aramis Ramirez shortly after the All-Star Break.
This team is virtually the same lineup. They will hit
All respect to you Augie, but I believe the metrics have changed and the classic example is…….
The idea that this now nearly two months long slump by Soriano is either somehow normal for him or even puzzling is naive. Ten HR right out of the box, spring in his step, a new off-season conditioning program and then suddenly.....nothing.
Just like Ordonez.
Just like Ortiz.
Alex Rodriguez benched.
Tejada and Beltran: nice averages, little power.
I could go on and on but the point is pretty clear when you consider that uniquely: Alphonso Soriano without home run power is an empty vessel.
The Manny Rameriez bust has had a profound effect on baseball and I don't think that it is coincidence the longest "slump" of Sorianos career began then. The drip, drip of the impending release of the Juiced 104 is mentally wearing on him as well.
His bat speed is down to zip, we see weak flys to right again and again and those semi-solidly hit balls that used to reach the seats are now barely warning track fly balls.
I don't think that a month long disappearance to the DL and a three week Sosa surge upon his return is in the cards again any more either.
And I think his teammates know this too. While he is but a cog, he is the highest paid and most often used cog. The ripple effect of his spectacular decline is and will continue to infect each part of the machine as a whole.
To destroy an army, you must cut off its head.
To beat the Cubs…..the Fear has done your job already.

After The Show3 Reviews
Miss Bolton shook her head "I'm sorry but you and Raven kept asking to practice and we don't have the time to practice. If you girls aren't confident enough to go on stage then that's the end of it. You won't be performing Princess of China."
Anna sighed heavily as Miss Bolton walked away. She looked slightly embarrassed before walking away "Is she okay?" I asked Penina "I mean it was just the one song…"
"Yeah but Anna's a perfectionist." Penina told me "I think that thing about us not having enough confidence was the real reason. Apparently one of us was off tune in the concert."
"That was probably me." I replied, going bright red "You know the oh's before my solo lines? Well I couldn't remember my lines so instead of focusing on the oh's I was trying my best to remember my lines so that I didn't look like a lemon stage."
Penina laughed "I kind of wanted to sing it but I guess it's a relief if anything. Miss Bolton was right about us not being confident enough. Though I did kind of want to rub this in Genevieve's face. Oh and Rose's face too."
"You can guarantee that Rose will have all of her songs." I said bitterly. I loved Rose but I wished she wasn't picked to sing at every concert. Honestly, I prefer listening to Raven or Astrid or Ray sing.
"The shows about to start, let's go." Penina said, taking my hand and pulling me towards the stage.
The show was good except for when the swing band sang 'All my loving'. The group is basically a bunch of kids playing instruments then two girls and Gerard are the vocalists. Anyway, Gerard lost his voice and couldn't sing properly. He burst into tears on stage and had to go sit with the teacher.
He came over to me, Raven and Ray afterwards "This guy came over to me when I sat out," Gerard told us "And he was like 'don't worry, all my loving is a hard song to sing. I'm sending you all my loving.' Then he squeezed my shoulder. I suppose he thought it was a soft squeeze but it fucking hurt!"
I noticed Anna, Astrid, Bob and Mikey sitting in a small circle while some people packed away the last of the equipment. Miss Bolton noticed too and squealed "Oh my god let's play duck duck goose!"
Raven, Ray, Gerard and I joined the group and Miss Bolton went round tapping each of us on the head chanting 'Duck, duck, duck, duck…' "Miss Bolton's really weird…" Raven whispered in my ear.
Halfway through the game Mrs Bradbury announced that it was time to go back to the hotel and Miss Bolton groaned "We will carry this game on at the beach!" Miss Bolton told us all sternly.
I sat next to Mikey on the way back "We could go down to the beach tonight or we could just hang out in my room? I know that girls aren't allowed in boys rooms but it's not like they'll find out."
"I'd rather hang out in your room." I smiled "I hope Gerard's voice gets better. His cover of 'why god' gave me goose bumps, it was one of the most amazing things I'd ever heard."
"I'm sure it would mean a lot to him if you told him that."
I went bright red "Oh, I couldn't, we don't even talk that much, he'd think I was stupid…" Mikey shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
Later after dinner I got dressed in a black 'London' tee-shirt, shorts and some leggings then went up to the fifth floor. I knocked on the door a few times and Mikey opened it nearly straightaway. He smiled at me and let me in "I just need to go downstairs and tell Frank something." He waved at me then walked away.
I went into the room and sat on someone's bed. Gerard was sitting on the other bed flicking through his iPod "I brought my speakers with me so we can listen to music."
"Gerard, I wanted to ask you about something." I said, making him look up at me "I asked Mikey where he was last night and he got all embarrassed. I think there's something he's not telling me. Do you know what it is?"
Gerard bit his lip "Well yeah but I-"
"Please tell me Gerard."
"It's just that last night he was crying and telling me all this stuff…"
"About what?"
Gerard went red "About you."
"About me?"
Gerard opened his mouth but soon shut it when Mikey came inside "I told him!" Mikey smiled. Then his smile disappeared "What is it?"
"Nothing." Gerard said quickly "Look, I think I might go down to the beach after all. You two can stay up here if you want." He stood up and smiled "See you later."
He left and Mikey sat down on the same bed as me "Hozzie, what were you and Gerard talking about?"
I went bright red "Look don't get mad but…" I told him what Gerard had said "What exactly did you say?"
Mikey went as red as me "I don't wanna talk about it."
"No, please tell me Mikes, did I upset you or…?"
"Well it's just that you ditched me for Penina and I was all upset…"
"Don't take this the wrong way but you and me don't really talk much so-"
"I was happy when you said you wanted to hang round with me because I have a crush on you, okay?" Mikey cried "And I was going to tell you last night but then you went off with Penina and I was feeling like crap."
My face felt like it was on fire "Oh… I'm sorry."
We both sat there for a moment before Mikey leaned forward and kissed me. Yes he kissed me.
I'd only been kissed once by this boy called Tim who I'd gone out with for six days. I'd broken up with him because I wasn't used to boys liking me and it kind of creeped me out that he liked me so much. I'm not good with relationships. I can't even handle it when a boy I like hugs me.
And I knew I couldn't handle Mikey kissing me. I pulled away "I'm sorry, I can't handle-" My eyes filled with tears. I stood up and ran out of the room before I burst into tears.
[A/N] - This is the third time I have tried to upload this IT BETTER FUCKING WORK NOW! I hope you like it! :3 Also, the guy who sang 'All my loving' and 'Why God' is real and I really was too scared to tell him :L But after writing this chapter I decided to tweet it to him and he was really happy about it :')

i havent been very consistant with results but i can say ive lost 12 pounds and still gaining strength
thanks stump, this was the kind of thing i was looking for. You're pretty sure you've maintained and even gained LBM whilst cutting fat whilst using it then?
I have an honest question, and unless I'll be banned for simply asking for clarification, I'd like to know an answer.
If it's easier to ban me and erase the inquisitive posts again, so be it, but I must ask.
Chris, you say:
Along with others, such as:
You gave a brief explanation that supported your claim with 2 facts:
1) your personal experiences, and
2) a study which considered, amongst other muscle wasting conditions, AIDS.
Now, the problem with those explanations are:
1) gigantic potential for bias, as you're both the creator and salesperson, and
2) the study isn't particularly relevant, however that's almost a moot point as the study itself concludes: However, more studies are needed to determine the optimal dosage and frequency of HMB supplementation, and the overall efficacy of HMB supplementation as an ergogenic aid for athletes.
I'm not a scientist, but that study seems to say more knowledge is needed, and surely you can provide that.
This is in the interest of knowledge of your product - in no way, shape or form have I said a single negative thing about you, your company, or this product, in this entire post. I am well aware I was warned with a ban if I continued with anything *negative* about you/your company/this product, but there is no ill will here, just curiousity. If you convince me on this product I think it may be something I'll find invaluable, but I'm just not convinced, and luckily you guys provide a forum to talk directly to the developers to ask questions about your products, which is great. I'm just hoping you take this as a serious request for info, and not as me trying to 'instigate' and hit me with a ban for are truly neutral, and certainly not negative, questions about a product claim.
jdeity, you know what? Don't be convinced, we're not particularly passionate about trying to convince you....
You are right, there could be bias in Chris's personal experiences. And as with every study, it will be good in some places and not so relevant in others....
Chris is being up front about his personal experiences with Results... I've see his pictures and he lost a ton of weight, held onto a bunch of muscle and got stronger..... No, he didn't run tests each day to record everything exactly and he doesn't feel the need and doesn't want to prove that to you beyond scientific doubt...
He has also referenced an study which support HMB... As with every study, it can be intepreted in many ways, so take it how you want to take it...
We have a ton of pro powerlifters and also many. many repeat orders for Results which should tell you something about how effective it is.
This thread has run it's course and I am going to be locking it now.... We've debated enough for you to make an informed decision on the product... Buy it... or don't... Of course, we'd prefer you did :)

Because Lugosi never learned to drive he got around Hollywood on rollerskates.
Vampira, in which she describes her first meeting with him: "I was a young girl window-shopping on Hollywood Boulevard. I was bending low to see the detail of some shoes and someone whizzed around the corner on rollerskates, almost bumped my fanny and crashed into me. 'Pardon me,' said he, and 'Pardon me,' said I. He was wearing an Ascot cravat and a beret. It was Bela Lugosi on rollerskates. He was on his way to a cigar store."
I love absolutely every single thing about this.

Nike Air Max 1 – Black – Dark Royal – Anthracite – White
November 2nd, 2012 by John Kim | No comments
More Air Max '87 goodies continue to pop up with the newly branded "Essential" grade, but with a colorway as clean and crisp like this Black/Royal/Anthracite, we can only agree that these are indeed "essential" to any Air Max collection! The 'Essential' model, it seems, is the base build of the Air Max 1, with mesh and synthetic nubuck uppers for that classic appeal. We've seen Premiums with synthetic leather and a firmer suede and 2013 will in fact yield the Engineered Mesh and VNTG versions, so there's a lot to choose from depending on your personal style. Eastbay is among the many retailers that have 'em available so cop 'em before they disappear.

A Phoenix security guard hired by a homeowners association is recovering after he was shot trying to break up a fight, police said.
Officers arriving at 8100 W. Globe Ave. early Sunday morning found an unarmed, uniformed security officer lying on the ground, said Phoenix police Lt. Gabe Lopez.
The guard suffered a gunshot wound to the back at around 1:43 a.m.
He told officers that he came across several people fighting and tried to intervene. Two people in the group opened fire, Lopez said.
The security guard, whose name was not released, was rushed to a nearby trauma center and is expected to be OK.
The suspects fled the scene. No descriptions were available.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
This is obviously for two reasons:
1) So that attackers don't just leave when they see they're attacking, they now have a major incentive to work together to win.
2) So that defenders do a poorer job defending, so they can then get the 10x bonus at winning on attack.
It's just going to make the Defenders throw it all the time and let the Attackers win. So it will most likely bounce back and forth like a ping-pong ball until it can be properly fixed.
Good news. More people will be doing Tol Barad now, because a 10x bonus in Honor Points is well worth queuing when Attacking (as it's a good chance you'll win easily/quickly, as the opposing factions just tanks it).

Raiders Fight Hard But Lose In Season Finale
A frustrating season for the Oakland Raiders came to a merciful end on Sunday with a 24-21 loss to the San Diego Chargers. The Raiders finished the season with a 4-12 record. The good news is that Terrelle Pryor showed why he was picked by Al Davis just months before he passed away. The loss ensures the Raiders will be the overall #3 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft
It's Official: Terrelle Pryor Makes His First Career Start Against The Chargers
After almost a week of waiting, head coach Dennis Allen makes it official by naming Terrelle Pryor as his starting quarterback in Sunday's finale at San Diego. Pryor hasn't started a game since he won the 2011 Sugar Bowl while at Ohio State. Cornerback Philip Adams is on injured reserve with a groin injury and has been replaced by Brandian Ross.
Raiders Leaning Toward Starting Matt Leinart In Sunday's Finale At San Diego
With quarterback Carson Palmer out for the final game with cracked ribs, competition begins in earnest for the starting quarterback job between backups Matt Leinart and Terrelle Pryor. Indications are that Pryor will get more than three plays, but the bulk of the playing time will go to Leinart. The Raiders were also shut out of the Pro Bowl for the first time since 2003.
Terrelle Pryor Should Get More Playing Time In Raiders' Finale
With the Raiders mired in another losing season, now is the time for quarterback Terrelle Pryor to get his chance to prove to his coaches and the fans what he can do. The Raiders are guaranteed a top five pick in the upcoming NFL draft so there's nothing to lose by playing him. In fact, a loss by the team only helps to ensure a better draft pick.
Raiders Listless Against Panthers in 17-6 Loss
The Oakland Raiders lost again to fall to 4-11 Sunday. Oakland quarterback Carson Palmer was injured during the game and the team didn't play any better with backup QB Matt Leinart. Few positives can be found after the Raiders lost their 10th straight game in the Eastern time zone.
Raiders RB Mike Goodson Is Eager To Play Against His Former Team
Oakland Raiders backup running back Mike Goodson will play against his former team, the Carolina Panthers, for the first time since he was traded back in March. Head coach Dennis Allen says he will continue to evaluate younger players in game situations. Kicker Sebastian Janikowski was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week after he made 5-of-6 field goals to beat the Kansas City Chiefs.
Raiders Try To Build Momentum From Sunday's Win
This weekend, the Oakland Raiders will try to make it two straight wins for the first time since late October. Their final two games are on the road at Carolina and at San Diego. Going inside the numbers from Sunday's win over the Kansas City Chiefs, the Raiders had one of their best defensive games in decades.
Raiders Finally End The Losing Streak
Six straight losses was enough for the Raiders, who finally are back in the win column. Oakland improved to 4-10 and ensured they will not have the top draft pick in 2013. More importantly, the Raiders are looking for some consistency with two games remaining.
Rolando McClain Returns To Raiders As Backup And Special Teams Player
Disgruntled Oakland Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain is back after his two-game suspension. Head coach Dennis Allen will use him as a backup to Omar Gaither and on special teams. Raiders defensive tackle Richard Seymour and cornerback Michael Huff were both limited in practice as they recover from various ailments.
Raiders Make More Roster Changes
The 3-10 Raiders continue to make roster cuts to players who aren't performing as the front office expected. This week featured the release of cornerback Ron Bartell and the reinstatement of disgrunted linebacker Rolando McClain. There is also speculation that long-time punter Shane Lechler will not return next season given his advanced age and high salary.

That felt...ridiculously short. Probably because I was trying to work on my novel at the same time ^^; . Good, though. Excited for beta. Excited for everything (except killing Garrosh-- I've always liked him, I'll be sad to lose him, particularly if I have to put up with Thrall Sue again. Baine for Warchief, please).

This Stock Should Help Your Portfolio Run
ANUP is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Nike (NYSE: NKE) is one of the best known brands in the world for designing, developing and marketing of sports utility products with operations in more than 160 countries. With a number of brands such as Converse, Hurley International, etc., Nike is certainly a powerhouse.
What makes Nike really interesting is that it holds a number of NIKE AIR patents that cover specific features in various athletic and leisure shoes that will not expire for several years, giving it a wide moat. The company spends a significant share on its Research and Development, Production and Marketing and Design departments to maintain its competitive edge.
President and CEO Mark Parker said," At Nike, we run a complete offense and it's based on a core commitment to innovation. That's how we stay opportunistic, serve the athlete, reward our shareholders and continue to lead our industry."
Why Nike is fantastic
Consistency and aggressiveness are the key words for Nike's earnings and revenue. "Fiscal 2013 was a great year for Nike, driven by our innovative products and the power of our brands," said Parker. The company's leadership and innovation are its core strengths and help it perform better. For instance, Nike's revenue jumped 8% in FY13 to more than $25 billion, which is remarkable when considering that the company took 18 years to make its first $2 billion but its yearly revenue growth now hits that mark.
Moreover, Nike has a strong balance sheet and the company can use leverage to drive its promising growth and innovation. Share repurchases of $1.7 billion shows its commitment toward keeping shareholders interested and returning value to them. The company's financial performance has indeed been strong. Nike's earnings for the fiscal year 2013 increased 11% to $2.69 per share from $2.42 per share in the prior-year period.
The company projects revenue growth for fiscal 2014 to be between 7%-9% and earnings per share for the same period will probably grow in the low double digits, while gross margin is expected to expand by 25 basis points on a year-over-year basis. The impressive increase in global orders is one of the reasons why Nike should perform better going forward.
Doing away with underperforming brands is one the best moves the company is making to expand its bottom line and it will also provide a competitive advantage. Recently, Nike completed the sale of its Umbro and Cole Haan brands due to which its cash and short-term investments increased $2.2 billion from last year.
Nike sells products for such a wide variety of sports, it competes against many niche companies, but also against similar large athletic footwear and apparel manufacturers like Adidas (NASDAQOTH: ADDYY), Brown Shoe, Puma and Under Armour (NYSE: UA). Nike is facing tough competition from Under Armour, which is giving it a run for its money in the U.S.
Under Armour has been gradually growing itself into a strong Nike competitor and the company will be providing the kits to the U.S. women's and men's gymnastics teams in the next two Summer Olympics. While this might not sound like much and Nike is the giant in the more lucrative soccer market, Under Armour has been slowly expanding its presence and sponsors, such as English club Tottenham Hotspur.
Also, a look at Under Armour's recent growth tells us that the company is doing well to improve its standing in the market. The company's revenue grew an impressive 25% in 2012 to $1.83 billion. However, a notable point was that only 6% of it was contributed by markets outside of North America, according to The Wall Street Journal. In comparison, Nike gets almost three-fifth of its revenue from outside the continent, which means that Under Armour has a huge opportunity to grow its business abroad.
But the more dangerous competition comes from Adidas, which is behind Nike, but is looking to make a dent in its market share. Adidas has been constantly innovating to improve its shoes and it is of the opinion that its latest running shoes should help it chase Nike. The new running shoes from Adidas provide spring to the runner's steps with constant energy and bounce and sell for $150. The company believes that this is a fresh innovation in running shoes and Nike should watch out.
Also, Adidas has a strong presence in international markets from where it derives around 60% of revenue. This is a threat for Nike, since Adidas is a Germany-based company but has spread its wings to markets across the globe, plus it has brand recognition as well. Adidas is looking to open around 100 new stores in 2013 and might open even more if it gets the right locations. Hence, its brand strength and store expansion are reasons why Nike needs to keep a watch on Adidas.
Final words
Nike's current price to earnings ratio is 23.47 compared with the 20.65 industry average and 16.65 for the S&P 500. At the same time, the P/E's for competitors like Adidas is 33.06 and Puma is 70.54. The stock is trading at a premium to the industry average based on forward earnings estimates for fiscal 2014 and 2015, but this is probably because of Nike's brand strength and its great record.
With consistent results and a promising future, it seems that the company will increase investors' confidence and enhance its market share. Continuous growth in its top line and bottom line should drive the stock price as well. Its earnings growth and aggressive expansion plans in emerging markets will definitely fetch good returns for investors over the long haul.

These are great with soups, stews, chili, etc. The second time I made them, I added 3 strips of cooked, crumbled bacon AND put just a tiny bit of bacon grease in each cup, heating in oven to emulsify before adding muffin mixture. They were wonderful. I also used self-rising yellow cornmeal because I did not have enough of regular. I cut the baking powder and baking soda amounts in half. It didn't seem to make a big difference - perhaps they were a tiny bit lighter but nothing significant. By the way, this recipe made only 27 muffins. The recipe calls for two 12-muffin pans, so I'm not sure where the "Yield: 48 muffins" comes from.

You close the article with a mention of spell alerts which I find interesting as I have yet to see a single icon light up my screen while playing my Elemental Shaman. Maybe I'm running with a messed up spec or something not sure but I see them constantly on my Frost Mage and absolutely never on my Elemental Shaman. What spell alerts should I be seeing?
jealouspirate said...
There's an alert aura for Lava Surge, like two giant wings made of fire.
Jealouspirate - I have 2/2 talent points in Lava Surge and I have never seen anything other than the green text when it procs. I have my opacity on spell alerts set to max so if something where there I would see it. Are you using an addon like Power Aura's still or just the in game spell alerts that were included in the patch?
Dan McIntosh said...
It is possible for some of those not seeing the proc alerts for Lava Surge, but yes it is their. Blizz's default UI will show when Lava Surge's procs, and assuming you have specced 2/2 into Lava Surge, and assuming that you put Flame Shock on the target first before casting Lava Burst. After playing with the spec back when 4.01 was on ptr, I love the new tree for Elemental now than I did before. Now with 4.03 going to ptr and soon 4.03a and reading Totem Talk, I changed out a few glyphs. The first one was going with Lightning Shield glyph and second was going with Flame Shock glyph. Gotta love the 'never going below 3 charges of lightning shield' and increasing the dot time when Flame Shock is applied helps out alot when putting Earth Shock into our rotation due to Fulmination.
jealouspirate said...
I don't use PowerAuras or anything like it, it's definitely coming from the default UI. Interestingly, it didn't show up right after the patch, but a few days after. I don't really know why it started working, but now it works every time.
jealouspirate said...
Now that I think of it, the alert might be coming from the updated version of Totem Timers, which I use. It's either that or the default UI.

Collection presented on the Parisian week of a fashion of a season autumn-winter 2013-2014 from fashionable brand Balmain. In 1945 Pierre Balmenom had been based the brand with the same name. Fans of the given brand are, Alexander Ambrosio, Jennifer Lopez, Zoe Saldana, and many other celebrities. The new collection is executed in chen, white, gold, purple, cobalt, lilac, scarlet and pink colour. A distinctive feature are the expanded shoulders though, in my opinion, it not so decorates. The collection has turned out stylish and interesting. So, let's pass to viewing of a new collection from fashionable brand Balmain.
Collection Balmain autumn-winter 2013-2014 / DETAILS
Pierre Balmen was born on May, 18th, 1914 in the city of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne , France. His father was the largest wholesale dealer fabrics in district. However when to Pierre was only seven years, he has died. Pierre Balmen has spent all childhood and youth with the mother and her sisters who worked in a boutique. Similar education has taken effect and, Pierre began to be fond of a fashion. Some time of Balmen studied architecture in Paris at school of the fine arts; however, it and has not ended study. In 1934 Pierre have invited to work as the assistant in Fashion house Edward Molina. After two years Balmen has been called on military service and as soon as possible when it have translated to serve to Paris, it has returned at once for work. In 1939 Balmen starts to work for Ljusena Lelonga. Then Pierre worked with Christian Dior developing and supervising all cycle of creation of a collection.
Six years of teamwork have very much pull together two fashion designers, however their roads have dispersed, when in 1945 Pierre has opened own Fashion house Pierre Balmain. Its collections differed plentiful use of natural fur and decorative furnish. Balmain was also the good and persevering businessman. In 1947 it has opened the first boutique in Paris. Other boutiques opened in Venezuela, Brazil and New York, last represented a line pret-a-porter. The sports line of the House under the name "Elbalman", was made on Elba. In 1947 Balmain has let out spirits Elysees 64-83.
In 1982 Pierre Balmen has died, the management of the House was incurred Eric Mortensen. When in 1990 Eric R. Mortensen has left Dom Balmain, its place was occupied with the young fashion designer Erve Pierre creating for the House of collection Haute Couture and pret-and-port with 1990 for 1993. With 1993 on 2002 collections Haute Couture Pierre Balmain world-wide recognised American fashion designer Oscar de la Renta who has recovered a line creates, without breaking the habitual colour scale, streaming style and without breaking spirit of the House. Balmene rent the Fashionable house was known first of all for the magnificent classical models.
The following head, designer Kristof Dekarnen, has preferred to be guided by more modern and 'sharp' workings out. In April of 2011 Dekarnena has displaced Olivier Rustan and the rock glamour to an aesthetics was focused on artistic roots of a brand and decadent.
Collection Balmain 2013-2014 is autumn-winter a refinement, luxury, elegance and a faultless silhouette. Primary colours of a collection – black, white, brown, dark cyan, red, is bright-pink, golden and neon pink. And as in a collection you will see the magnificent prints and golden strips. In preliminary fall-winter collection Balmain 2013-2014 are presented: short dresses, blouses, pants suits, stylish trousers, mini – skirts, jackets, a sweater, a coat, leather jackets and jackets, footwear and accessories. Improbably beautiful furnish, an embroidery executed by gold threads, various styles which seductively underline bends of the female figure, the refined suits for cocktails certainly, worthy. Graceful and unusual dresses from Balmain will necessarily be to the taste to stylish and modern girls.
Stylish collection of clothes from Pierre Balmain a season autumn-winter 2013-2014. For the future season designers of a brand offer constrained enough on colour and a silhouette complete sets, but nevertheless in each image the rebellious, impudent and youth spirit of mark is felt.
