Movie review the grey
That movie was ok it ended Wierd , the movie is about 7 men who are plane wrecked in the Alaskan wilderness. If course the lead is leam nielsen. A widower that is wandering from job to job and ends up in a protector role ofof the oil company employees while in the wilderness.
Well anyway they ( a group of workers including leam) board a doomed plane an of course the plane goes down and he and 6 survivors are all that's left. The bad guys are actually wolves which isn't far fetched cause clearly we are on thier food chain. Slowly all the guys die around him mainly from the wolves but in the end he is left and realizes his faith in god and finds his purpose in life and he ends up fighting the alpha wolf an the ending is left o interpretation so as a whole I would wait till redbox

Why nike Why
I recently have been following shoes as of late. Myself being a sneaker head with a vast collection of rare sneaks. the illusive red foamposite debut today where I found myself actually wondering , what the hell is going on. since WED i had been carefully contemplating how i could have the elusive shoes. scheming and plotting i had devised a plan where i would surely come out the victor in a scheme that clearly did not come to shape.
1) in a city as large as mine (greensboro) there seemed to be only 2 places where the shoes were coming out in limited number, some private stores actually had only ordered 12 pairs ! WTF so of course the mall was a prime spot where people were going to be going. Unknown to them there were only 100 pairs of shoes in 1 store and 20 in the next. of course they were all assortments of sizes your if you look at the probability of getting your size you did not stand a very good chance.
# of shoes in your particular size
p(foamposite)= ------------------------------------------------------------------ = answer in the form of a fraction
# of people who wear the same size in line
this simple formula shows that honestly the deck was clearly stacked against any poor unsuspecting consumer that happened to venture into the fray.
Why would nike do that? why would a company that clearly is out to make money only make a limited supply of shoes that clearly cost a Arm and a Leg ($232.00 to be exact) when the actual cost to manufacture is far less. in fact
In 2005, protestors at over 40 universities demanded that their institutions endorse companies who use "sweat-free" labor, unlike Nike.[4] Many of anti-sweatshop groups are student-led, such as the United Students Against Sweatshops. Team Sweat is one of the largest groups that specifically tracks and protests against Nike. Team Sweat is “an international coalition of consumers, investors, and workers committed to ending the injustices in Nike’s sweatshops around the world.”[5], founded in 2000 by Jim Keady. Keady researched Nike’s labor practices while attending graduate school at St. John’s University in New York. Keady doubled as the soccer coach at St. John’s University, and while conducting his research about Nike; the school signed a $3.5 million deal with Nike, forcing all athletes and coaches to endorse Nike. Keady publicly refused to support Nike and was forced to resign in 1998. Since resigning, Keady has done original research into the effects of Nike’s Sweatshops. He travelled to Indonesia, worked in a Nike factory, and lived on the $1.25 wages.[5]
In 2000, Nike chairman Phil Knight planned to donate $30 million to his alma mater, the University of Oregon . When the University of Oregon joined the Worker Rights Consortium (WRC), Knight revoked his donation because the WRC has a history of being unfriendly towards shoe companies. The Fair Labor Association is supported by Nike and the United States government, while the Workers Rights Consortium is not.[9] There has been debate between the university and Knight about the legitimacy of the FLA and which labor monitoring organization is more effective.
Now with the ability for NIKE to do the right thing should one think that its a corporations moral responsibility to offer fair wages as well as production to the consumer and worker
in a simple supply demand curve graph one can see that there is clearly a high demand and the peoples willingness to pay is high , so why would they not produce more of the product ??
well after watching my fellow brothers and sisters i began to realize that there is clearly one thing that is feeding the monster that is capitalizm. GREED
hell why would footaction, footlocker jsut come out and tell people the amount that they had instead of just waiting till they ran out with 200+ people in the line. that isn't good customer service is ???
by the way CHAMPS ,FOOTLOCKER, FOOTACTION are all owned by the same company
when will we ever learn
i am sure that thier will be a restock and for right now , ebay is buzzing with shoes that are about 100 more that retail....... REALLY ??????
