Innovators need not reinvent the game. They need simply to improve it, whether it’s through creativity and commitment, kindness and courage, or just good old-fashioned clever thinking.
This year’s recipients represent all of these qualities and many more, from a putting teacher who helps players improve through the use of state-of-the-art gadgets, to the grounds crews that keep overplayed public courses ship-shape, to a golfer-cum-model who wants to give the LPGA some much-needed buzz
The Man of the People: Justin Timberlake, 28, giving a ‘green’ course back to his hometown of Memphis
“I love this game. I learned it playing on a course in Memphis, Tenn., called Big Creek. It was the first place my dad taught me how to hit a ball. A couple years ago, my dad told me that the course was going to close and become a development. He said, ‘What if we buy it?’ I started laughing, but he wasn’t. He was serious. I said, ‘If you’re serious, so am I. Let’s do it.’
“The course was a landmark in the community; we had to save it. I’ve put my heart and soul into the project. We renamed it Mirimichi. We wanted to refurbish it. I asked some questions, and we found out we could make it a ‘green’ course – the first course in the U.S. to be designated as a certified Audubon International Classic Sanctuary. It was important to try to reuse water, to zero out our ecological footprint.
“Before we opened this summer, we had three missions: Create an amazing sanctuary for the community, create an eco-friendly course, and create a public course [that would be] mentioned in the same sentence as Torrey Pines and Bethpage Black. This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever been a part of. It’s an awesome feeling to give this course back to the community.”
William Rast, the “New America” denim lifestyle brand founded by Trace Ayala and Justin Timberlake, and operated through subsidiaries of People`s Liberation, Inc. (OTCBB:PPLB), launched its retail expansion plan for the brand with the
opening of two new full-price retail stores at the Westfield Century City
Shopping Mall in Los Angeles, California, and the Westfield Valley Fair Shopping
Mall in San Jose, California, just in time for the holiday shopping season.
Additionally, the Company opened its first outlet store at the Desert Hills
Premium Outlets in Cabazon, California. The retail expansion is part of the
Company`s plan to roll-out approximately forty retail stores in major
metropolitan locations over the next several years.
Century City Shopping Center, located in the heart of Los Angeles` West Side,
recently completed a $170 million revitalization introducing new luxury
boutiques. The center is home to over 100 specialty retailers including Apple,
Bloomingdales, Theory, Louis Vuitton, Juicy Couture, Tiffany & Co., Tourneau and
Zara.
Westfield Valley Fair Mall, located in the Silicon Valley area of Northern
California, has long been the area`s leading shopping destination. The center`s
current mix of innovative retailers includes Nordstroms, Apple, Armani Exchange,
Coach, Louis Vuitton, M·A·C Cosmetics, Swarovski, Talbots and Tiffany and Co.
The William Rast branded retail stores, each approximately 2,000 square feet,
will offer shoppers the entire William Rast contemporary apparel collection for
men and women, including signature denim, silk tops, leather jackets and
accessories. In the future, the Company also plans to offer a full range of
licensed William Rast products in each store.
“We are extremely pleased to announce the initial rollout of our planned retail
expansion with these three new store openings,” said Chief Executive Officer,
Colin Dyne. “These new retail locations underscore our commitment to showcasing
and enhancing our brand. With a dynamic population that is connected with the
William Rast brand, we see tremendous opportunities and a good strategic fit to
further expand awareness of the brand.”
The Desert Hills Premium Outlet store will be William Rast`s first outlet store,
and will be in the company of brands such as Burberry, Coach, Dior, Dolce &
Gabbana, Gucci, Prada, True Religion, 7 For All Mankind, Yves Saint Laurent,
Zegna, Lucky Brand and many more.
Mr. Dyne commented, “The Desert Hills Premium Outlets is one of the most popular
and trafficked outlet malls on the West Coast and gives us a focused off-price
channel for our prior season merchandise. With our own outlet store, we can
better manage and control the distribution of inventory, yet do so at attractive
margins.
so I love Newark street corners. I was walking and happened to look down at the movies that some guy was selling… and what do I see JUSTIN. lol, I made some captures, it is a pretty clear copy of the film.
so what did I think of the movie?
actually It was pretty good. I laughed, I cried…it was just a movie that a lot of people can relate to in more than one way. A lot of people have issues with their parents, or that one person that just means the world to you, but can’t seem to keep them. The cast they chose for this was great, they all worked well with their parts. Jeff Bridges is funny and crazy, and plays a perfect retired old man who still loves to have fun. The movie is not going to win awards or anything, but it does deserve some views… so you should definitely go buy it when it comes out. Like I said, I laughed and I cried, most of the movie will at least get a smirk out of people, especially if you can relate to the situation.
and he looks hot!!!!
