A day that practically every bride dreams of from the time she is a girl is her wedding day. For men, that day usually doesn't dominate their imagination until they become engaged. Once he is engaged, the question of how he will appear next to his bride becomes a priority. Wedding shoes are a luxury item. However, for the man who wants to stand taller, they generally don't do the job of increasing his height, compared to his bride, who's wearing high heels. Regular height increasing shoes seldom have the fit and finish that's appropriate for formal wear. Fortunately, there's one source for luxury tall shoes that a bridegroom can wear with pride: GuidoMaggi. Made from the finest calf black patent leather,
bridegroom shoes are crafted by the most skilled Italian artisans with meticulous attention to detail. These shoes make you look taller with style and looks that are second to none. These superb shoes are not just for the man who lacks stature. Many tall men marry tall women, who wear four inch high heels as a part of her wedding ensemble. GuidoMaggi
elevate the bridegroom in a way that does not call attention to the fact that he's wearing "look taller shoes". That's because these are first quality Italian leather shoes, made with comfort, fit and surefooted performance in every pair of shoes. You'll dance all night at your wedding party, secure in the knowledge that your bridegroom shoes won't let you down. Plus, when it comes time for you to "dress down" for your honeymoon, you'll find a complete line of

What Does "SMART" Asset Management Mean in Manufacturing?
Mary Gorczynski 1100006B54 email@example.com | | Tags:  eam maximo asset-management ibmsoftware service-management smarter-planet ibmontwitter manufacturing tivoli

This week's blog posting is from Eric Luyer, Market Manager for IBM Maximo Asset Management, Industrial Manufacturing.
This time I want to focus on the topic of how we can translate the IBM smarter planet messages to Asset Management and how smart asset management can be leveraged in manufacturing industries.
Building a smarter planet is a vision of how interconnected technologies are changing the way our world literally works and how we adjust to this changing world. If you look around, there are already so many different examples of interconnections, and the supporting assets are getting more and more instrumented and are more intelligent and thus are getting smarter.
Think about the notion that more than half of all sensors in transportation, facilities & production equipment are smart sensors or are smart in their use, e.g. robots, kiosks, meters, PDAs, appliances, cameras, smart phones, biometric devices or internet use.
Think also about new areas where smart assets are highly beneficial and provide instant value: security-safety, research, healthcare, traffic-control, transportation (airplanes, cars), defense, manufacturing, nuclear industry, defense, personal computers, etc. Every industry or market uses smart asset in some form.
Existing examples in the industry today include:
The list of applications where smart assets are involved is growing and growing every day. It's all about monitoring, measuring and discovering information for better visibility, control and automation of information processes for better and quicker decision-making. But to manage and maintain all these different, complex and smart assets takes asset management to another level.
For manufacturing companies, "smart" today means a lot in terms of advanced data collection (instrumented) with sensors and actuators to get embedded analytics and quick response capabilities to achieve zero waste, incidents etc. RFID tags to locate position or location of the asset.
From an interconnected perspective, smart means integrated operations and execution based on dynamic planning, scheduling and reaction, using manufacturing dashboards to improve operational decisions.
And finally, intelligence is achieved by a full understanding of the facts, measurements, alerts and KPIs. Decision-making should be based on facts, ideally in real-time.
By acting "smart", companies will move from an instinctive and intuition approach to a more fact-driven approach and from a corrective to a directive (preventive/predictive) approach. Real-time thinking instead of thinking in traditional years, months, weeks, moving to an "action support type process, from not just "efficient", but to an optimized approach (in terms of data, information, decisions).
Smart manufacturers are using smart asset management capabilities to manage all their critical assets including their IT-embedded or software-embedded assets that provide so critical information in the decision-making process. You see this already today!
Managing all assets the "smart" way creates better visibility of key information, integrates all different types of assets into one asset management system, and consolidates different applications into one solution, including all IT assets and IT infrastructures.
Smart asset management is supporting—and managing the new changing smarter world in full and therefore really contributes to the transformation and implementation of this new smarter planet vision, supporting the way products go from being an idea to a reality to practical and smart use.
Click here for an IBM smarter planet overview.
Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed it.
Look forward to my next blog on the topic of PAS 55, the newly adopted worldwide standard for Asset Management.

Ouch! This stock will continue to fall over the next year.
In 2011, they had 208 stores. In 2012 they had 228 stores. 20/208= 10%. So 9.7 % drop in same store sales is in fact good!!
I just wanted to warn you so that you dont either deceive yourself first and also not let anybody deceived. Thanks for the opportunity that you raised with your question.
Sentiment: Buy
Organic growth has been a problem for quite a while. What has kept the whole thing going has been the incredible pace of Store openings. When they stop opening Stores...watchout.
Is this short covering or wha? There are a lot of shares to cover, so we will see.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Picks and Pans
Slice disagrees that the Artichoke pie is a classic; Metromix picks their favorites of the year.
Further to Time Out's fave foods, Slice insists the Artichoke pie is not a classic: "That sloppy, gloppy party-dip-on-crust signature slice has no business achieving legendary status." And Metromix's editors design dream meals that occasionally overlap with the Time Out list (the ramen at Ippudo, the sliders at little owl). [Metromix]

North Carolina officials say the Bonner Bridge on the Outer Banks is reopening.
Gov. Pat McCrory and state Transportation Secretary Tony Tata said in a news release the bridge would reopen as of 4 p.m. Sunday.
The bridge was closed Dec. 3 because sand was washing away from the bridge supports.
Earlier this month, the state gave Carolina Bridge Company of Orangeburg, S.C. a $1.6 million contract to place layers of interlocking jacks and sand bags on both sides of part of the bridge. The contract required the work to be done in 90 days.
An emergency ferry route was set up between Rodanthe and Stumpy Point, a 17-mile trip that takes more than two hours. Officials said that route would continue until Monday morning.

Archbishop Chaput's Fortnight for Freedom Homily
The Fortnight for Freedom was concluded with Mass celebrated at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. on July 4, 2012. Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia delivered the Homily.

Like most of the great writers of his time, Claudel was a mix of gold and clay, flaws and genius. He had a deep and brilliant Catholic faith, and when he wrote that a man "who no longer believes in God, no longer believes in anything," he was simply reporting what he saw all around him. He spoke from a lifetime that witnessed two world wars and the rise of atheist ideologies that murdered tens of millions of innocent people using the vocabulary of science. He knew exactly where forgetting God can lead.
We Americans live in a different country, on a different continent, in a different century. And yet, in speaking of liberty, Claudel leads us to the reason we come together in worship this afternoon. (more…)

But is developing a mobile marketing strategy worth the time, effort and investment for companies? Does mobile live up to the hype? How much impact can a killer app make?
The Drum caught up with leading agencies in the world of app development and mobile strategy, posing a series of questions to discover just what it is that's got people talking, and why developing such a strategy might not be just prudent – but actually essential for the future of your brand.
Paul Rawlings, CEO, Screenreach
I think we'll start to see more convergence between old and new with advertisers using smart device apps to enhance their advertisements on the more traditional media platforms. For example, using the Domino's app to allow consumers to interact with their digital signage campaign, or using the Coca Cola app to allow consumers to interact with their TV advert in real time.
Smartphones are with people at all times, on their commute to work, while they are sat in front of the TV, literally everywhere they go – they are basically a mobile interaction tool. Brands can really offer their consumers something new and rewarding by embracing this kind of convergence.
Ste Brennan, Code Computerlove
Greater efforts into providing mobile websites / web apps as an alternative to or in addition to native apps. We'll see a bigger shift from App Store purchasing to in app purchasing model. We will see applications becoming more engaging with real-time notifications and alerts, a greater focus on social and local context, as well as "always-on" cloud connectivity with such platforms as iCloud etc. becoming established. It will be also interesting to see what impact Google+ and it's integration with Google's other services such as search, maps, YouTube, etc. and it's ability to break down the social graph into smaller 'circles' will have on the social app landscape as a challenge to Facebook and Twitter.
Simon Jones, Head of Online, Intermarketing
Apps that can leverage Near Field Communications (NFC) most effectively will certainly start to appear over the next year or so when new handsets adopt the technology. And if the financial services sector, and in particular banks could get their act together like mint.com have done in the US, then that would be really something.
Integration of cross platform user experience has always been the holy grail for any business and brand, so getting the message right across multi platforms is going to be a key mobile strategy. And it's not just about mobile smartphones. We've got tablets that occupy the mobile category too and don't forget smart TVs (ok not mobile) but they come with apps like LoveFilm that integrate across web and the mobile too.
Steve Peters, Code Computerlove
A move towards m.mobile websites and away from 'let's do an app'.
Apps will be platform agnostic and not handset specific (i.e. native to iOS, Android or Windows)
Peter Dolukhanov, Joint Managing Director – Technology & Operations, Nice Agency
- B2B and internal productivity mobile applications
- Multi-screen applications that deliver connected and personalised experiences
- Near Field Communication (NFC) and other touch-based mobile integration
Graeme Hastings, Creative Director, Science Creative Ltd
Personalisation and location based services are allowing companies to provide very targeted offers based upon the consumers location and personal preferences. Increasingly offers are tailored to users proximity to stores or their interest in particular brands.
Mobile payment is growing, you can now use an app to book a table, view the menu and then pay for your meal.
James Clarke, Thin Martian
Expect more branded apps. I think brands are really waking-up to the strategic value of mobile tech – not just as a marketing tool, but as the means to build direct relationships with consumers. That is essential if brands want to leverage the massive value of social networks. What does it mean? Well on a simple level it means your in-house marketing team can reach consumers directly at a fraction of the cost that agencies used to charge for campaign-driven user acquisition. It also means at a more complex level that brands can move towards cutting out the middle men – expect brands to start delivering news, journalism, drama, music directly to their app users and bypassing TV and traditional media channels. I'd also expect them to give you much greater access to the data they hold about you, and apps that enable them to understand more about your pattern of consumption and other brands you like. It's already happening with brands like Vodafone VIP delivering feeds of music news and vids via apps. It's a natural progression – if brands can sell direct, deliver direct and market direct, they can compete in content areas as well.
Peter Dolukhanov, Joint Managing Director – Technology & Operations, Nice Agency
- Multi-screen applications delivering a consistent user experience across the myriad of devices and platforms
- Dual-screen and integrated applications enabling an enhanced viewing experience such as Smart TV apps that connect with mobile devices and tablets.
- Enhanced location-based applications ensuring relevant content is delivered to the user
Graeme Hastings, Creative Director, Science Creative Ltd
Cross platform development, it is now possible to design apps using Flash or HTML5. These portable methods save on the large costs that can be associated with developing native code for each platform.Security – Android is increasing seeing malware – malicious apps designed to invade users security and privacy.

2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Reviews
2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Reviews and Owner Comments
Login to Review This Car
2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport (1 Review)
Have had this car almost 5 years. Great car to drive, very comfortable on long trips, BUT ... Very poor quality vehicle. 10 trips back to the dealer for warranty work, often for similar or related problems. Now off warranty, still having problems. Check engine lite on, back-up camera not working (repaired more than once under warranty.) Wonder if it's worth fixing anymore. Very expensive to repair, considering trading it in for something better. Range Rover America recommended an extended warranty (I guess that is their way of making their problem mine, at my cost). I would expect much better performance, reliabliity and service for an expensive high end vehicle. Would not recommend this vehicle.

Is true love real? Is there such thing as unconditional love?
No. Not the way Hollywood, Nora Jones, or Nicholas Sparks portray it. That sort of Love was invented by Ad Men to sell nylons.
I don't mean to be a downer. I've actually fancied myself a romantic most of my life. I can tell you it didn't get me far.
Is love putting someones else's needs and well being above your own? Sure. If you're talking about your kids. I truly don't think it's healthy to put your romantic partners well being above your own. Many times we become so insecure about loosing someone we can't help but do anything to make them happy.
In truth, the only way a relationship will work is to keep balance. Unfortunately this is rarely the case. In my personal experience there' s always an Alpha and a Beta in a relationship that's doomed to fail. In other words- someone is more infatuated with the other. More willing to make sacrifices to keep the other happy. That's not healthy.
Ever heard someone say: "You have to be happy with yourself before you can be happy with someone else"? If your like most people you just brushed it off, as did I. Then one day I stopped to think about it and to me it meant you have to value yourself enough not to settle for someone or be willing to give up your own wants and desires just for your partners happiness.
True Love is a balanced, kind, love that withstands the test of time. Too many people are in love with being in love. If you are reading this today maybe you're lonely. Well my friend I'm lonely too. (high brow Journey reference)
I'm not saying you shouldn't actively try to find love. I'm also not saying you shouldn't compromise in a relationship from time to time.
Just remember who you are.

After 15 months of being unable to drive, my bride has finally returned to the roads.
She completed her driver retraining / physical therapy, her car has been upgraded to accomodate her physical challange, and she is out grociery shopping as I write this post. It will take some time before she is completely comfortable with her new driving skills but I'm confident that she'll be just fine. She learned how to handle the new equipment very quickly and passed the course for her addaptive equipment with only five one hour-lessons.
Now I have instituted a three step re-entry into my own state of normalcy.
Step 1...acquire first case of beer to be consumed since April 2010
Step 2...prepare said beer for consumption this evening
Step 3....well I really don't need to go into too much detail there. Suffice it to say that the first taste will be soooooooo nice.
Yeh, I opted not to drink at all until the bride could drive just to insure that there would be someone sober enough to drive if the need arose.

Regulatory Reinvention:
EPA's Common Sense Initiative Needs an Improved Operating Framework and Progress Measures
RCED-97-164: Published: Jul 18, 1997. Publicly Released: Jul 18, 1997.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4907
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined the progress of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Common Sense Initiative toward its goal of finding "cleaner, cheaper, smarter" ways of reducing or preventing pollution and the methods EPA uses to measure progress.
GAO noted that: (1) in the almost 3 years the Initiative has been under way, it has produced three formal recommendations to EPA, none of which has suggested the types of changes in the existing approach to environmental management that EPA expected; (2) although stakeholders have begun to work collaboratively on environmental solutions, progress toward the Initiative's goal has been limited by several factors, such as the length of time needed to collect and analyze data, the difficulties stakeholders have had in reaching consensus on the approaches needed to address large, complex issues or policies, and variations in stakeholders' commitments of time and understanding of the technical aspects of environmental issues; (3) in addition, the Common Sense Initiative Council and its subcommittees and workgroups have spent considerable time discussing how they would carry out their work and developing their own operating standards; (4) an improved operating framework that better defined the Initiative's goal and expected results and included the specific guidance on how the Initiative would accomplish its work would enable the Council and its industrial sector subcommittees and workgroups to concentrate more of their effort on substantive issues; (5) EPA gauges the progress of the Initiative primarily on the basis of accomplishments associated with its various processes or activities, such as stakeholder meetings, and not on the basis of its results; (6) although such process-oriented information is important, it does not measure the agency's progress in meeting the Initiative's goal, consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act's intent; (7) as a result, EPA cannot determine the extent to which the Initiative may cost-effectively reduce or prevent pollution or ascertain whether such improvements are due to changes in the agency's approach to environmental management; (8) in addition, the Initiative's projects typically do not establish or provide for performance measures to gauge the extent to which they are decreasing pollution and/or reducing costs; (9) GAO found that 11 of the 15 ongoing projects it reviewed did not provide for measuring results; and (10) without such measures, it is difficult to assess progress or demonstrate whether a project's expected outcome has occurred.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: EPA proposed two areas for Common Sense Initiative Council involvement, including addressing broader issues common to the sector subcommittees, and providing strategic guidance to the sectors and advice to EPA on the sector-based approach. The Council accepted this approach as the framework for its future work and interaction with the subcommittees. EPA provided guidance to the Council on the key elements of a sector approach to environmental protection that established a framework for each subcommittee to follow. The guidance recommended that the subcommittees work through three stages, including strategic planning, development and implementation of a comprehensive work plan, and preparation of recommendations. This guidance also provided information that clarified EPA's expectations with respect to achieving cleaner, cheaper, smarter environmental management approaches. As of May 1998, the Council and each of its subcommittees had prepared work plans following the guidance provided.
Recommendation: To permit the Initiative's subcommittees and workgroups to devote more of their attention to substantive issues, the Administrator, EPA, should provide an improved operating framework that more clearly defines the Initiative's "cleaner, cheaper, smarter" environmental protection goal--including its expected results.
Agency Affected: Environmental Protection Agency
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response to this recommendation, EPA provided the Initiative with a framework for developing work plans that specify not only how the Council, its subcommittees, and work groups will accomplish their work, but also how the Initiative's goal is interpreted and applied to individual projects. In addition, EPA developed a draft entitled, "Consensus Decision-Making Principles and Applications in the EPA Common Sense Initiative." This paper clarified the principles of decisionmaking by consensus, how they apply in the context of the Initiative, and how Initiative activities could proceed in the absence of consensus. This document was unanimously adopted by the Council.
Recommendation: To permit the Initiative's subcommittees and workgroups to devote more of their attention to substantive issues, the Administrator, EPA, should provide an improved operating framework that specifies how the Common Sense Initiative Council and its subcommittees and workgroups will accomplish their work, clarifying issues such as how and when consensus will be achieved, how the Initiative's goal should be interpreted and applied to individual projects, and to what extent representatives of all stakeholders groups should be included in activities at each level of the Initiative, including projects and workgroups.
Agency Affected: Environmental Protection Agency
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Consistent with EPA guidance, the Council and its industry-based subcommittees developed performance measures in conjunction with their work plans. These measures identify the Initiative's contributions in the areas of developing and implementing a sector-based regulatory framework, encouraging pollution prevention, record keeping and reporting, compliance and enforcement, permitting, facilitating the development of environmental technology, involving communities, and emerging environmental issues. Measurement of performance will be based on the Initiative's recommendations to the agency, and the agency will be accountable for implementing the Council's recommendations. The Council plans followup to determine whether the agency has acted on its recommendations and will conduct evaluations to determine their effects. These performance measures are also being incorporated into the EPA's strategic goals.
Recommendation: To provide a basis for evaluating the progress of the Initiative in cost-effectively reducing or preventing pollution, the Administrator, EPA, should require the development of results-oriented performance measures for assessing the extent to which the Common Sense Initiative Council's and subcommittees' actions have produced real, measurable environmental improvements at less cost to industry and the public.

This was an Aztecs team to be proud of
This wasn't the best San Diego State men's basketball team, but it was the finest
ANAHEIM Legendary Dodgers announcer Vin Scully once delivered a line about pitcher Fernando Valenzuela, who clearly didn't have his A-game but hurled his way to a World Series victory using nothing but grit.
"It wasn't the best Fernando game," said Scully, "but it was his finest."
This wasn't the best San Diego State men's basketball team. It wasn't dripping with NBA talent, replete with potential All-Americans or fraught with SportsCenter highlight-makers.
But when you look at what this group was able to accomplish with the roster it had, when you compare it to some of those great teams of Aztecs past, this much is clear – it was the finest.
Thursday night at the Honda Center, SDSU fell to Arizona 70-64 in the NCAA Basketball Tournament's Sweet 16. Consensus underdogs going in, the Aztecs not only hung tight with the Wildcats throughout the evening, they plainly outplayed them for the first 20 minutes of the game.
To get to that point given where it started -- to flirt with a victory over a team that may very well end up as national champions is an achievement that should echo on Montezuma Mesa for years to come.
Remember, this was supposed to be a waiting year for SDSU – a season to pass the time before the true glory years began.
Jamaal Franklin, drafted in the second round of last year's NBA Draft, had departed. Nationally-coveted recruits Malik Pope and Trey Kell are high school seniors, while blue-chip transfer Angelo Chol isn't eligible until next year.
The media labeled the Aztecs future also-rans, picking them to finish fourth in the Mountain West Conference and failing to give them a single vote in the preseason Associated Press Top 25 poll. So really, the only way they could go was up.
And they decided they liked that. They decided they liked that a lot.
After falling to Arizona in the second game of the season, SDSU won 20 in a row. And they did it in a way that a gym teacher with a whistle around his neck would love – desire, dedication, and good ol' fashioned defense.
The Aztecs would finish game after game shooting no better than 35 percent – laughable for elite college basketball standards. But they would so successfully nettle opposing offenses, so consistently deny foes baskets that they would end up victorious in about the most aesthetically displeasing way possible.
Locals caught on quick to their capabilities, and journalists noticed them in the corner of their eye, placing them in the Top 25 but moving them up at a sig-alert's pace. Then came the Jan. 5 game against Kansas, a team that had only lost nine games at home in 11 years.
Make that 10: Aztecs 61, Jayhawks 57.
Suddenly, an entire country sleeping on SDSU had a bucket of water splashed onto its face. The Aztecs kept winning and rose to No. 5 in the nation. Senior point guard Xavier Thames had emerged as a star, drawing praise from Arizona coach Sean Miller as "the best guard in the country," while SDSU's defensive numbers were without peer.
You could probably say the same about its fan base. The Honda Center Thursday was not a neutral court by any means. Thousands of Aztecs fans pervaded the arena, drowning out the Arizona faithful for most of the game and reaching triple-digit decibels during some of the Aztecs' first-half runs.
Those diehards left disappointed. But they should not be disheartened.
Thursday night was the trailer for the feature film that's coming. This team will be back.
Coaches know it, fans know it, and you better believe that players know it.

Nice work so far wokka. For the swing arm, why not just cut off the stock side rails on the swing arm, re-weld in some longer ones ....reusing the stock top pivot tube and axle plates, welded back on. You could also weld in a cross brace , up near and behind the pivot tube to stiffen things up...... or for something stronger, an arch shaped gusset made out of 1/4" plate, welded in. The round Tubed swing may look better the Boxed? A 170 tire on the back? WOW ! Maybe a bit much for this little mill.

(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) reorganization and its programs, priorities, and business operations. GAO noted that: (1) HUD reorganization could overshadow the redirection of its programs and priorities; (2) HUD may not have the resources to complete its overly ambitious reinvention agenda; (3) the Government National Mortgage Corporation needs more staffing flexibility to improve its focus on areas of risk and exposure and its response to future management challenges; (4) HUD information systems have not been planned and managed to meet its strategic objectives and it will take years of sustained management attention to correct these problems; (5) large budget carryovers have raised questions about HUD ability to allocate funds efficiently and its need for new budget authority; (6) HUD has a backlog of obligated and unobligated funds because of difficulties in planning modernization projects; (7) HUD does not accurately estimate the future costs of incentives for property owners to preserve their properties as low-income housing; (8) HUD could have the ultimate responsibility to settle claims resulting from lead-based paint poisoning, but HUD could minimize lead-based hazards by acting on previous recommendations; and (9) HUD cannot realistically resolve its problems in a single year.

It's that coveted time of year again where the waffles are piping hot and the toppings seemingly endless: The fifth annual Vegan Waffle Party Day! This year, the Animal Rights Coalition is hosting the delicious waffle brunch from 10 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. at the Fuller Park located at 4800 Grand Avenue South, which is at the corner of 48th Street West and Grand Avenue South. It's simple to enjoy this family-friendly event. The waffles are made by volunteers. All you need to do is bring one tasty topping to share. And be creative. Soy vanilla ice cream anyone? Peanut butter and banana? What about some bee-free honey with cinnamon? Like mentioned before, the possibilities are simply endless. The only thing we require is that that whatever you bring is 100 percent vegan, and that all ingredients are either listed on the packaging or written down on a note card. Also – please bring your own reusable utensils. After you've had your fill of delicious waffles, make sure to check out Ethique Nouveau, ARC's all-vegan boutique, where all of your purchases go toward animal advocacy. The store is located at 317 W. 48th Street, basically right next door to where the waffle party is!
Don't forget to bring your own plate and utensils because it helps us be good to the Earth.
See you there!

Business issue
Our client, a global leader in personal care, wanted to drive growth by entering a new market in Asia, with a global deodorant brand. Precise direction was needed on how to position the brand for success.
Precise insight
NeedScope provided a focused framework to understand consumer needs, evaluate the positioning of existing brands, inform brand development and outline the market opportunity. Specifically, NeedScope identified the emotive needs driving brand choice and how to satisfy needs through product and brand image (pack symbolism and communications).
This provided a precise understanding of the deodorant market, a clear target audience and a clear path to growth. Existing brands in the market met a wide range of needs, but there were untapped needs in one NeedScope segment – vitality.
In the segment, the underlying needs were more assertive expressions of individuality, articulated in terms of energy and activity. Deodorant needed to make them feel alive, giving a feel of refreshment. Not surprisingly, the type of person who exemplifies this need had an energetic, lively and active personality. We advised the creation of a new deodorant range using the vitality concept with precise direction on product formulation, packaging, positioning for a range of variants.
Precise plans for growth
The range was launched with packaging and communication targeting the vitality segment. It reached a 17 percent share and third position in the market after three months, most of it from the market leader.

The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

I waited a bit too long to replace the chain on my commuter, and now both the chain and the cassette are shot. They're not so far gone that I can't ride on them until replacement parts arrive (i.e. no skipping, yet), but the chain-wear gauge does fall rather easily into the gap.
So...question: Do I need to replace my chainrings along with my freewheel? The bike is a double, but I use the big ring almost exclusively.

Neither time nor the classification of high school basketball has managed to erode the importance of a conference championship in boys basketball.
Coaches still dedicate pregame locker room talks to drive home the meaning of being part of such a team. Players, in turn, channel a particular sense of urgency to the court when it's a league opponent.
It's win-win, only not everybody wins.
This evening's slate of games will go a long way toward separating contenders from pretenders in the 2013-14 conference races involving Johnson County programs.
Tied for first in the Mid-State Conference are Mooresville and Martinsville with 3-0 league records. Mooresville travels to Whiteland (1-2) tonight, while the Artesians, coached by former Franklin athletics director Kip Staggs, host those very same Grizzly Cubs (3-1).
"Right now Martinsville is undefeated in the conference, so that's a big game if we want to hang in the conference race," Grizzly Cubs coach Jerry Bomholt said. "The kids on our team know Mr. Staggs and want to go down there and play well."
Tonight and the days ahead also shape up big ones in the 10-team Mid-Hoosier Conference, where Edinburgh (2-1) and Indian Creek (2-2) hope to gain ground on first-place Knightstown (3-0).
Edinburgh is challenged by having to travel to Morristown (2-1) tonight. Coach Derek Perry's Braves step out of conference with a game at Monrovia but are scheduled to face Eastern Hancock (4-1) on Wednesday.
"For us, the conference race is kind of like the beginning of a marathon. The more you're in the race, the more the race becomes interesting," said fourth-year Lancers coach Drew Glentzer, whose program is 22-6 against league opposition since his arrival in 2010.
"The last three years you had to be undefeated to win the conference. With 10 teams in our conference, it's a lot of games; and the kids think about it the longer they're in it."
The Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference appears to have three viable contenders in Carmel (4-0), Pike (4-1) and Warren Central (2-1). Center Grove at 0-2 looks for its first MIC triumph of the season tonight at Lawrence North (1-3).
Also winless in conference action is Greenwood. The Woodmen, in the Mid-State basement at 0-4, don't face another league opponent until hosting Plainfield (1-2) on Feb. 7.
Elsewhere, Greenwood Christian Academy takes a 3-0 record in the Pioneer Conference into this evening's girl/boy doubleheader at home against Baptist Academy (1-1). The Cougars then turn right around and host Attucks (1-1) on Saturday.
Crucial contests all for coaches and players alike.
"We talk about it a lot. Our kids, if you mention conference championships, they'll say they're important," Bomholt said. "What it does for me as a coach is it allows us to emphasize certain games."

Deli Delicious takes a bigger bite of sandwich market [The Fresno Bee :: ]
(Fresno Bee, The (CA) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) July 12--It's better than the American dream: An immigrant couple brings their three young sons to the U.S. and buys a restaurant. Fast forward a couple of decades and now that restaurant -- Deli Delicious -- has 21 locations, 14 more on the way and a growth plan that has it following in the footsteps of Denny's and Five Guys Burgers.
The Fresno-based company run by the Hobab family is poised to rapidly expand in a way not seen very often by local companies in Fresno -- through franchising. Much like KFC or Subway, the franchising works by outside people paying the company for the right to open and run a Deli Delicious location.
"I'm getting calls from all over the world," said Deli Delicious franchise sales representative Nate Gilbert. "I've got calls coming in from Dubai. The interest is really overwhelming." The company, which now has restaurants from Bakersfield to Sacramento, plans to expand throughout California and neighboring states over the next five years, and nationally after that. It's a strategy for growth that allows a company to expand quickly because it puts much of the cost -- and the elbow grease of opening a new location -- on the shoulders of franchisees.
The model comes with risks, particularly as the restaurants open far from home. But the Hobab family has been preparing for those risks since 2009 when it started franchising. It has steadily beefed up its corporate headquarters to handle the growth.
The back story Mohammad Hobab ran his own textiles factory and his wife, Zohreh, had studied archaeology when the pair decided to leave war-torn Iran in 1988. The highly educated couple didn't feel there was much of a future for them or educational opportunities for their children amid the country's turmoil at the time.
"They just wanted a better life for us," said their oldest son, Hadi, who was 12 when he came to the U.S. and is now the chief operating officer of the company. One younger brother was 8 and the other was a toddler when they moved here.
Hadi's father doesn't speak English, but that hasn't slowed him down. The couple bought the first Deli Delicious at Blackstone and Bullard avenues when its owner retired in the early 1990s. The restaurant is still there.
The Hobabs made sandwiches and mopped the floors and repeatedly tested bread recipes. All three sons grew up working at the restaurants.
"Deli D," as it's often called by Fresnans, has 45 sandwiches on its menu now. One of the most popular is No. 21, the turkey, avocado, sprouts and cream cheese. The sandwiches cost more than Subway sandwiches, but Yelp.com reviewers give predominately positive reviews on the site and note the sandwiches come with plenty of filling.
Over the years, the Hobabs opened up more Deli Delicious locations and began offering catering -- trays of 4-inch mini subs -- and french fries. They had seven restaurants when they decided to go into franchising.
The change allows the company to grow quicker than it could if it were shelling out money for each new location itself and overseeing all the new ones at once.
So the Hobab family sold off its existing restaurants to franchisees and began signing agreements with others to open more locations.
Franchisees pay a one-time fee of $20,000 to open a Deli Delicious, or $15,000 for an express model. The company prefers its franchisees to have restaurant experience and have ready access to $75,000 to $100,000 in cash to get the restaurant off the ground and pay for all or part of the construction or remodeling of new locations.
Franchisees also pay 6% of their monthly sales back to Deli Delicious corporate and a 2% fee that goes toward advertising the brand.
The first downtown Fresno Deli Delicious is scheduled to open next week; next up are restaurants at Herndon and Milburn avenues, Walnut Avenue in Visalia and Hageman Road in Bakersfield. In another first, Deli Delicious is testing a shared restaurant space with Fresno-based Colorado Grill in Roseville and will do more if it's successful.
The brand's reputation in the Valley is at first what attracts franchisees such as Simon Hakimi. He owns the Fig Garden Village location, but keeps his day job as a physician's assistant at Community Regional Medical Center.
"You see foods come and go, but Deli D has always been around," he said.
The sandwich shop is an investment for Hakimi, who said he didn't look at other sandwich franchises but went straight to Deli Delicious. He said he likes how someone from the corporate office shows up at the restaurant weekly.
"They're very hands-on and they're very involved," he said. "They care about the quality, even though they're growing." Skin in the game Having franchisees invest the money, instead of companies digging into their own pockets, allows the chain to grow much faster than it normally could, said International Franchise Association spokesman Matthew Haller.
"You've got other people's skin in the game," he said. "A lot of companies that start regionally may not have the capital to grow and become the next Starbucks, which is not a franchise." It's a method that many household names have used, including Five Guys, which was started by a couple and their four sons and has a location in River Park.
Banks are also more likely to loan money to a franchisee opening a restaurant that's an established brand, compared to an unproven concept.
Although the Valley is rife with franchisees who own everything from Wendy's to 7-Eleven, it's not that common for locally based restaurants to grow this way.
Bobby Salazar also franchised a few locations of his counters inside mini marts and one restaurant of the same name when he was young and wanted to expand, but owns most of his locations.
About 20 of Me-N-Ed's Pizza's 70 locations are franchises. The company that owns it is planning to expand its Blast 825 Pizza brand by franchising. The first Blast restaurant opened in Sierra Vista Mall last summer.
Tom Ferdinandi, chief operations officer of Fresno-based Milano Restaurants International, which owns both brands, explained why franchising works better for some locations: When companies add restaurants that are close to their corporate headquarters, they're easy to keep tabs on. But when the goal is to expand in far-flung locations -- Blast has corporate-owned locations about to open in Roseville and Rocklin and plans more restaurants -- the need to have an owner-operator manage day-to-day operations increases, he said.
Franchising comes with risks, of course.
Even with an owner-operator, Haller said, it's more difficult to manage the brand and make sure that the food meets the company's standards, for example.
Conscious of this, Deli Delicious has hired several new people for its operations team. What started as a corporate headquarters employing five now has 11 workers.
"These folks have a massive amount of experience in the field so the infrastructure is there to provide the support for the franchisees," said executive vice president Ali Nekumanesh.
The company could grow faster, but is holding off until it works all the kinks out, he said.
For Fresno, having a corporate headquarters in town brings added benefits of more jobs, more income flowing into Fresno, more donations to local charities and the ripple effect of using Fresno-based suppliers such as J&D Meats and Saladino's distribution.
Deli Delicious has changed a lot since the days the Hobabs made every sandwich at the first restaurant. The company the couple built for their children now provides all three of them with jobs -- Hesam is now the chief financial officer and Sahab is the director of marketing.
Though they are the driving force behind the company, Mohammad and Zohreh Hobab often prefer to be behind the scenes and declined to have their photo taken for this story. But through it all, said eldest brother Hadi, the COO, his father has maintained his same philosophy on business.
"His main thing is to be good to people," he said. "He wanted to really take care of their employees, make sure they're getting what they need. All that has to happen and then comes making money at the end." The reporter can be reached at (559) 441-6431, email@example.com or @BethanyClough on Twitter.

Released: Apr 01st, 2005
Running Time: 100
Director: Johnny Diablo
Company: Nectar Entertainment
Cast: Vanessa Lane, Nick Manning, Rio Mariah, Makayla Cox, Sara Blake, Mari Possa, Justine Joli, Taylor Rain, Chris Cannon, Anthony Hardwood
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Some near volcanic sex coupled with wry humor make this perfect couples fare.
Dick Smothers Jr. is a producer trying to get his movie shot, but when his director craps out on him, he decides to helm the production himself. But that's neither here nor there, since the scenes themselves don't have any connection to each other.
Two scenes stand out: Nick Manning's incredibly long pussy-licking of Vanessa Lane, eliciting excellent moans from her, followed by standing face-to-face fucking in a couple of positions before the facial; and the finale, with Anthony Hardwood and Alex Rox double-teaming Taylor Rain, that includes two d.p. positions.
Rio Mariah and Mari Possa each do decent solo scenes as well, but we're pre-nominating the Lane/Manning encounter as Best Couple Sex Scene - Video.

Historical Traveler Reviews Nostalgia Yasin Bungalow Bintan
Wanna relax AND have a great time...
This was our second trip to The Kemah Escape and just like the first time we LOVED it!! If you want romance, you got it. If you want to go out and play at the Boardwalk, you got it. If you want to just stay in and relax, you got it. The full kitchen is a real plus!! We can't wait until we get to go back again, and trust me we will! We recommend the Kemah Escape to everyone who is interested in getting away from it all!!
Relaxing Escape
I needed a quiet relaxing escape from the rat race and found it here at the Kemah Escape. It is perfectly situated for the boardwalk and restaurants and shops without being bothered by any excess noise. I would definitely come again.
The room was amazing!!!
The room was amazing. You didn't have the hassles of an ordinary hotel. This was definitely get away resort style.
No Class Staff at a Very Classy Place!
Since opening, my husband and I had viewed the Escape as our local opportunity to do just that. They are familiar with us, we have stayed there often. Our most recent stay, they placed us next to a large group with small children that screamed all night on the patio. Our hot tub was not heated when we arrived. The room had a table with a poker under it that stuck out 2 inches past the table top, when I walked past it, it jabbed into my thigh. A month and a half later, my thigh is still bruised. When we told the front desk in the morning about our comical "night from Hell" she offered this, "Well, anyone can bump anything, I've bumped into that same spot before." As if that were clarification that I too was clumsy. Maybe if the table and top were properly anchored, that would not happen to unsuspecting guests... or staff. When we told her of the hot tub being cold and the loud, and VERY DISTURBING guests next door, she grabbed her walkie talkie and screamed out "Could someone send..... to the office please, we have guests that don't want to pay for their room." Which was no way to deal with the issue at hand. No class. Just goes to show, you can't buy EVERYTHING! Needless to say, we flew out the door, horrified by her behavior. Get a job at the bar honey, and leave the courtesy management positions to ladies and gentlemen, something you know nothing about. And for future reference, no one checking into your hotel wants to hear about how you inject yoursef with B-12 shots and how the drugstores must think you are a heroine addict. That is MUCH MUCH more information than ANY guest needs from you!
Total Stress Release!
I can't say enough good things about Kemah Escape. First, this is much better than any B & B in Kemah (I checked them all before booking Kemah Escape). Each room is like an apartment with a full kitchen with a small dining area, a separate large bedroom, and a large jacuzzi tub. Every day, the room was spotlessly cleaned and snacks were even left out for us. All we had to do was relax!
Very inconsiderate!
My husband booked this beautiful place for our anniversary and while we were very impressed with the location and the quality of the place. Our romantic evening was somewhat bothered by the wedding party - yes party - that was booked for the room above us. There was loud music and dancing on the thin floors into the early hours. We left and drove home to Houston at 3am after not being able to get to sleep. We called the guy who owned it while we were there and his reply was they were having a celebration and there wasn't anything he could do about it. Needless to say we will never spend the money to stay here with such an uncooperative owner. I wouldn't recommend anywhere with this customer service. Common sense says you don't book a wedding celebration on the 2nd floor of a place like this and have an anniversary couple stay in the room below. Just as in any house, the noise level was high and the consideration very low.
A Hidden Treasure
As a surprise anniversary gift for my husband, I decided on a stay at Kemah Escape. I can not say enough about the place, quiet, relaxing, and within walking distance of all the action. The room was beautiful, clean and just perfect for a romantic getaway. We hope it never changes.
Just like Home
My fiance & I stayed @ Kemah Escape the last week of June for 5 days. The unit was beautiful. Everything was crisp, clean & cozy. The full up to date kitchen was a wonderful feature. We could sleep in, cook breakfast & even lunch before starting our day. Lots of conveniences close by. We rented DVDs one night & "stayed home". The hot tub was also a great feature. I'd recommend an upstairs suite since the patio is screened in, downstairs aren't. The boardwalk is very close (walking distance) w/ plenty of restaurants & activities. The staff was very friendly & accomodating. Kemah Escape is located in a beautiful neighborhood, making my daily runs very pleasant. Will definitely visit again!! It was worth every penny!! Carolyn & Grant
My wife and I were looking for an anniversary weekend getaway. After finding this website and reading other reviews we settled on the Kemah Escape. This place was great - roomy, clean, quiet and relaxing. The private full size whirlpool on the patio is a bonus. Why stay in a boxy hotel?
Can't wait to go back.
(Thank goodness for these reviews - my first hotel choice would have been a dog)
Best Part of Our Trip
For our anniversery, my husband and I got away for the weekend in Houston on Friday night, and in Kemah on Saturday night. On Friday night we spent the night at a four star hotel in downtown Houston, and it was nice and we were happy with everything. On Saturday, we stayed at Kemah Escape, and it was even better than the fancy hotel we had spent the night at the day before. When making reservations at Kemah Escape, I mentioned our anniversery, and Shannon, one of the office workers, asked if we wanted anything special. I said we didn't have alot of money (I had saved up for months for the trip) but since this trip was a surprise for my husband I thought champagne would be nice and said I had about 20 dollars extra I could spend. When we checked in, Shannon and her sister had purchased fresh flowers, strawberries and chocolate, wine glasses and an ice bucket. It was such a surprise for me too. The room itself was beautiful, with art work and antiques, a full kitchen and a 4 person whirpool on the private porch. My husband and I were able to walk to the Kemah Broadwalk and when we wanted to relax we would come back to enjoy the pool and comfort of the room. If I had known ahead of time the quality of Kemah Escape, we would have spent the whole weekend there. It was a wonderful, relaxing break from our 4 children and I recommend Kemah Escape for any couple wanted to spend romantic time together.

Houston, we're not Kennedy Space Center
... After the tour we looked at the space artefacts and watched a few movies/documentaries. There isn't as much to see and do at the center compared to Kennedy so we left at about 3pm a little disappointed (spoiled perhaps at going to Kennedy first). For dinner we got some Chinese food and called it a night. The Chinese good wasn't that good - Sam had Mongolian Chicken (lots of onion) and I had sweet and sour pork (too sweet, or not enough sour ...

We managed to kill time in line with a few beers and I chatted up our neighbors in line to find the best local grindz.

Gilroy explodes into contention on a good day out in Limerick
RUGBY ANALYST:Coming away from Thomond Park on Saturday night I was struck by the recurring question; what was the purpose of this "international" match. Was it to fine-tune a style? Tick. Was it to expose new combinations? Tick. Or was it to win? Tick. Obviously all three were crucial but what about selection for the Pumas? Most players waking up this morning will feel they have enhanced their reputation; some (Springbok selection) will be feeling the heat.
I have long been an admirer of all things Fijian. Maybe it's their Sevens culture or the stories that emanated back from Irish troops in Lebanon. Returning soldiers always brought back a common story: they are massive, athletic and so skilled that their secondrows would outsprint backs.
Watching Saturday's game unfold I couldn't help wonder how such beautifully talented athletes with so many gifts are so often clueless when the simplest of systems are required. This of course was the big threat to the Ireland XV. How do you combat such opposition who can barely get beyond three phases, misfire lineouts, have a poor kicking game but contrast all that with brilliant broken field play and the deftest of touches?
Ireland managed to impose their style on the Fijians and in doing so negotiated a very tough scrum and a very difficult breakdown zone. In order to achieve this Ireland had to be very sure of their style.
From the off, both Paddy Jackson and inside him Conor Murray continually took the sting out of Fiji with their pinpoint kicking utilising free space or affording great battles for the chasing runners. Jackson had a very competent performance, clearly prioritising control over the Fijians. To this end he rarely forced himself into the fixture as a running threat, which was understandable. The combination of Murray's superb box kicking and Craig Gilroy's fielding was worth the price alone. For comparisons check out "David Mead's one-handed pick-up try" on YouTube.
The Irish kicking game was ably supported by strong chasing lines but also by powerful running on the ball. Luke Marshall at inside centre brought very direct, hard running lines which straightened up the attack, affording real decoy options. In carrying the ball in two hands Marshall created much-needed indecision and confusion in the Fiji defence. Most impressively, with his powerful core, he got his shoulders through the tackle, allowing him to twist either way, making an accurate offload on his terms – even one-handed.
Positive momentum
Were there any negatives to the fixture? Fijis ability to test Ireland was so limited that management selection for the Pumas will have to account for spiked performances. That said, professional athletes are no different to us mortal humans and positive momentum breeds confidence and when matched with youth a spark can flame. Gilroy exploded on Saturday. I especially enjoyed how he tested everything; kicked balls, dead balls, Fiji defence, tight corners.
The scrum looked untidy throughout the fixture but Fiji were strong in this department. The protagonists offered much around the pitch where I continually watched Michael Bent on his arrival. He certainly appeared comfortable in general play, filling into the system in attack and defence. He made five tackles, all of which were in tight quarters and therefore not over stretching him. He bounced around from ruck to ruck surveying the threats around him and reacted accordingly.
Solid performance
All that said there was no big hit, no big carry, no big play or support line. It was a very solid performance that's expected from any tight head in AIL Division 1A and above. Dave Kilcoyne for instance was every bit as active/effective. Keep watching him.
As expected with so many new faces certain aspects were rusty. The breakdown was asking too much of Murray where Fiji scragged him far too easily, causing him to carry around the fringe too often. Reading of the referee's interpretation is an ongoing skill and Leighton Hodges was happy to allow Fiji through. The knock-on effect for next Saturday is it sucks in far too many Irish to repair the damage, which stunts future plays.
At blindside Iain Henderson brings a lovely lineout option, and when on the ball asks real questions of defenders. He carried beautifully in both hands while stretching his legs to create Marshalls try out wide. Although he battled throughout I am stuck on what's his best position.
He can certainly mix it up where he carried in tight corners but his speed over five metres may expose him to difficult tackles. Too often he peeled away from his scrummaging duties, exposing his prop. I sensed it was to prepare for the upcoming defence. This is a dangerous habit. At 6' 6 he can be beaten to the punch at the breakdown where the law of the lever burns vital seconds in getting the requisite height to protect the ball. Secondrows have longer to prepare for that hit but backrows require speed over the ground and body height adjusted simultaneously.
Notwithstanding Murray's fine points, and with style, pace and leadership of the forwards in mind, Eoin Reddan to start next week and regardless of the natural wing positions available. If Gilroy were make the team against Argentina then the Fiji game was worth its weight in gold.
