Still too much clothes, too much covered up!
Yes, it's a great issue, but I've been saying for years that Sports Illustrated should do this swimsuit magazine without the swimsuits--the girls should be totally nude. Swimsuits should only be used sparingly, with extreme discretion, and only when appropriate.

It's a travesty that we should have to make this much of an effort to imagine what these women are like without clothes on when everyone knows that beautiful women like these LOVE to take off their clothes and pose for admirers.

It's not an issue with the models--they would enjoy showing off and they love knowing that men are enjoying looking at them. It's Sports Illustrated's fault--they are wussies, they are too scared and intimidated of the politically-correct watchdog organizations to go all-nude. If Si would just be brave enough to innovate and blaze some new frontiers, we could fully enjoy these women the way they were meant to be.

If they can figure out a way to make this happen in France, then we Americans should be able to do it too.

excellentviewingandreadingmaterial.quailtygraficspictures, andthe3Dpicturesawsome!

The real deal finally
After not being able to purchase SI locally here in OZ, it was great to be able to recieve a copy of latest SI - rather than rely on the occaisional pic from the 'net.... As expected this issue was excellent - world locations and brilliant models - and the 3D pics were novel.... and the linking with music via the SI website was excellent !
if u love SI - do also find yourself a copy of the DVD's as u get to see the girls 'in real life' behind the scenes.... it brings so much more to reading the Magazine...
Well done SI !

Simply amazing...as always
everyone who appreciate the beauty, this is what they need to have. Just perfect

• Expanded material on new media sport and technology developments

Product Description
For such a common word, strategy is often misunderstood, misinterpreted, and misapplied. Given the complex challenges facing organizations -- and entire societies -- we must grow more and better strategists. Tackling three simple yet sweeping questions, Cultivating the Strategic Mind delivers the goods: (1)What is strategy, and why aren't more leaders better strategists? (2)While strategy is as foundational as DNA within the most exemplary companies, why are so many organizations missing it altogether? (3)How can I apply strategy in palpable, pragmatic ways to the benefit of those around me? As a result of demonstrating a more Strategic Mind, leaders will employ a robust language and methodology for crafting, communicating, and implementing strategic aspirations and commitments. Contemporary business is screaming for equally creative and critical thinkers capable of leading teams and entire organizations. Blake Leath's breezy writing style, intuitive models, research-based solutions, and sticky storytelling make Cultivating the Strategic Mind a stimulating, fun, and immensely credible approach toward developing strategists for our evolving world of work. If you believe in the fundamental importance of thinking as a differentiating competency for exemplary leaders, it's time you treat yourself to the book you'll want to share with your colleagues -- the one written with you in mind and designed to guide leaders on the journey to visionary, creator, and architect of strategy. ...

The Strategic Mind creates competetive advantage and significiance
"Cultivating the Strategic Mind" is different!Useful tools, leadership principles and strategic applications, organizational leadership history, practical application guidance, thought-provoking concepts, and illuminating examples and stories permeate this book.The author's philosophy seems to be reflected even in the margins of the book--margins to the edge of the page in an effort to provide as much content as the pages will hold.This is not a "fluff filled" recitation of strategy or leadership principles--rather it is a book that holds the promise of expanding the reader's ability to find purpose, achievement, and satisfaction in life and work--it is about creating the high-performance environment that builds long term competitive advantage and personal significance.This book goes directly to my reference library for daily use--because I refer to it daily.

Most executives' thinking is too shallow!This book will cause you to think differently about your business forever!
Countless organizations cannot go where they want or need to because their executives' and leaders' thinking is too shallow.Strategic thinking is hard work; it requires a level of mindfulness to do the thinking that today's complex businesses and organizations require.In the midst of our hyper-speed culture, Dr. Leath unveils a simple, clear, pragmatic approach for developing the Strategic Mind that will change how you think about and run your business or organization - forever.

Excerpt: This Sporting Life was a culturally iconic Triple J radio comedy programme, created by award-winning actor-writer-comedians John Doyle and Greig Pickhaver, who performed as their characters Roy and HG. Broadcast from 1986 to 2008, it was one of the longest-running, most popular and most successful radio comedy programmes of the post-television era in Australia. Undoubtedly the longest-running show in Triple J's programming history, it commanded a large and dedicated nationwide audience throughout its 22-year run. The title This Sporting Life was taken from the novel and 1963 film of the same name. Often referred to by its acronym, TSL, the show was a parody of sporting panel programmes, although the duo cast a wide comedic net that encompassed entertainment, politics, celebrity and contemporary Australian culture in general. It was modeled to some extent on the popular 1980s Melbourne radio sports comedy panel show Punter To Punt...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1009610 ... Read more
