Give Bush The Boot - It’s Not the First But It Is the Bloodiest and the Best

February 27, 2009

Adelaide based game developers Champagne for the Ladies and I Love Biscuits have teamed up to create Give Bush the Boot - the bloodiest tongue in cheek Bush booting game to date. Who wants to play a game where you defend Bush from flying boots? Or hurl the same ugly shoe at him again and again with no visible effects? We all want a chance to dig in the boot and more importantly we want to do major damage with an extensive range of footwear!

Champagne for the Ladies producer Holly Owen says “The game is based on two basic yet fundamental principles- you can never have enough shoes in your wardrobe and you can never have enough blood in your games.”

I Love Biscuits senior programmer Michael Bubnick cheekily adds, “The thing about our game is that it manages to educate and entertain. I believe education should have equal billing next to entertainment. Where else can you learn about shoes from around the world? Besides a website devoted to teaching you about shoes from around the world, I mean.”

But seriously, why should Iraq have all the fun? Now people the world over can Give Bush the Boot ! Give Bush the Boot allows players to choose from a collection more extensive than Imelda Marcos’s. Whether it’s fashionistasLouboutins in Paris, astronauts’ moon boots on the moon or ugg boots in Australia, take aim and fire! Don’t just hit your mark, make your mark! Couture footwear isn’t just over priced, fabulous looking and difficult to walk in- it’s deadly too! Use it to inflict a bruise, break his nose or hit a major artery.

If your skill, stamina and desire for revenge are worthy, you will have the chance to give Bush the ultimate boot by throwing the holy grail of footwear - Dorothy’s magical red slipper. If your will is good, your arm strong and your aim accurate you will annihilate the half-wit president and hear the classic Wizard of Oz line, “But what would you do with a brain if you had one?”

Give Bush the Boot is the perfect source of light entertainment for those still whiling away the last few days in the office before taking a well earned festive break.

NINTENDO’S EXPECTED CHRISTMAS GIFT

As analysts scramble to put the retail sales numbers of America in order, they’ve already concluded that overall it was a terrible performance. Three products stood out as the most popular this season: Nintendo Co.’s Wii, Amazon’s electronic book reader Kindle and the unisex sheepskin apparel Ugg boots, reports The Los Angeles Times.

Once it becomes clear to consumers that an item is popular and might become scarce; they flock to it. “If people think it’s going to be rare and in short supply, they’re more apt to make it more of a priority,” said Dan Butler, vice president at the National Retail Federation.

The Wii is cited as the big hit because it appeals to everyone in the family, and readily accessible to any level of gamer. The Wii and DS combined sales figures are set to break the 2008 record of most systems sold in a year.

While the big three outshined the popular teen novel “Twilight,” Amazon.com reported they sold enough copies of the book to top Mount Everest eight times.

There is a group mentality to buying the same or similar product, but also in the retailers themselves. They often contrive sold-out status to lure customers back with the promise of “more product” in just a few days.

While these facts are illuminating, analysts are already sure this shopping season was the poorest in decades.

“One or two items don’t make a season,” said Marshal Cohen, of NPD Group, a research firm often cited in Nintendo related sales news.

Elizabeth Davies: These resolutions will stick

I’m not even trying to lose weight for the New Year this time around.

Never mind that I’m waddling into 2009 about eight months pregnant, so weight loss is pretty much an intangible dream right now. The reality is, I’ve lived through New Year’s resolutions long enough to know that wanting to lose 10 pounds in January isn’t the same as actually doing it.

Of course we want to lose weight for the New Year. We’ve spent so long gorging on cut-out cookies and veggie dip that the idea of nothing but brown rice and fruit actually sounds appealing. The problem is, healthy food tends to lose its appeal far sooner than junk food does. Hence the reason we’re back to wings and dip by the Super Bowl.

The problem with most New Year’s resolutions is that they’re way too big-picture. Sure, we want to be 15 pounds lighter by swimsuit season — but that’s really hard to envision when we’re decked out in turtlenecks and Ugg boots, shoveling our latest gift from Mother Nature.

And yes, it absolutely makes sense to balance our checkbooks regularly, make it to church every Sunday or set aside a few hours a week to help out at the soup kitchen. They’re all worthy goals. But the problem is, we have to actually change our regular habits and carve out time for the new stuff.

Then there are the vague resolutions: “I vow to be a better friend.” Or the resolutions that are out of our control: “I resolve to get a raise at work.”

Last year, my husband and I — both task-oriented individuals — made a point of setting up very specific New Year’s resolutions. Things like “We will spend every Tuesday night together” or “We will go out to dinner by ourselves once a week.”

For a few months, it worked. Our friends were amazed that we managed to get out on weekly date nights. Then, sometime in early summer, the baby sitter couldn’t make it. Then we got sick. And before we knew it, we had to wrack our brains to remember our last, honest-to-goodness date.

With a new baby on the way, I know better than to assume date nights are going to resume anytime soon. But there are a few resolutions I can make for 2009 that I’m fairly certain will hold:

I resolve to enjoy every last piece of chocolate that heads my way.

I resolve to partake in Sunday afternoon naps as frequently as possible.

I resolve to be back at the gym six weeks after having my baby. This one is actually easier than it sounds — the gym has both child care and showers, the two things a new mom wants most.

I resolve to shamelessly devour at least one gossip mag every six weeks, while I’m getting my hair done.

And finally: I resolve to spend at least one day in my pajamas, eating pancakes for lunch.

That’s more than a resolution in my book: That’s a staple for sanity.

Ugg boot fatigue, gay wine, Lily Allen’s almost boob, Hermione Granger denies her millions

February 16, 2009

AARGH! I’m so sick of seeing women flapping down the street in these misshapen, rain-sodden monstrosities, sliding their feet along the pavement with great concentration, not daring to lift their feet because the footbed’s all wonky and they’re having to walk on the leg-part.

I’m not against Ugg boots per se (I have a nice pair of Uggboots myself - black, woollen with duffle coat toggles - which I use as slippers), but I do resent the fact that they’re not rainproof and seem to bend out of shape after a week.

The next time I see some poor lass schlepping down the street in these I may not be able to help myself manhandling her into a Clarks shop and buying her a pair of wellies.

Guide to Choosing Cheap Ugg Boots

Cheap ugg boots can be found if you are willing to take the time necessary to look for them.

What about those Uggs?

February 14, 2009

NEW YORK It’s probably safe to retire - or at least put to rest for a long winter snooze - your skinny-leg pants. Once the first signs of spring start to stir, the favored silhouette will be loose.

“Wide pants - if you invested in the dramatic floppy-leg pant that just skims the ankle, you are in luck. These are still a big trend,” said Avril Graham, executive fashion editor at Harper’s Bazaar.

That’s the thing about fashion: Almost every look comes back, even if it’s slightly tweaked.

Take Uggs, for example. Constance White, eBay style director, said the cozy, furry boot is already a must-have item again for many women - and it’s a trend driven by consumers.

“The fashion gods forgive me: I will not throw out a pair of Ugg boots. . . . They dipped - came off the radar and weren’t ‘it’ anymore - but they’ve had the huge rise in popularity again, White said.

Some other likely top (and not) looks of 2009:

·  Sandy neutrals and tropical colors are likely to make a splash, but there might be a changing of the guard for regal purple, which has reigned for a few years. Painterly prints had a shorter run, but Graham said they too are on their way out. “Best to look for sweet florals,” she advised.

·  Safari styles, whether they’re vintage Yves Saint Laurent or new Banana Republic, are enjoying a high point on their arc of popularity. That’s good news, said Graham, because it’s an easy look for most women to wear.

·  The 1980s continue to inspire and haunt fashion, but if you ever wore harem pants and highlighter colors the first time, you might consider giving only a wink to the decade with a bangle bracelet or fluorescent accessories.

·  A low-platform heel is a shoe that takes you through every season and most occasions, said eBay’s White. Extreme platforms can get tossed, but hold on to all your peep-toe shoes, she advised. The popular gladiator-style sandal will triumph again this summer, but it’ll be even more aggressive looking with higher heels.

·  The big-statement necklace popular last year is still a trend, but it’s one you can cut back on. “If you’ve accumulated three or four, part with two of them,” White said. “Instead hold on to any bracelets - cuffs or stacking bracelets, especially. They’re fresher, new and they’re going to be hot right through spring and summer.”

·  Logos are out and subtlety is in. “It’s not the right time for flash,” Graham said. Cheap ugg boots .

Student hurt during bad weather

In spite of hourly checks last week of the campus status information page as well as my eden mail for a possible note from my professor, I realized there was, in fact, class. I decided, in spite of my better judgment, to head out to my 7:40 p.m. “Sociology of Deviant Behavior” class in Murray 221. I had my trusty snow boots with the all-terrain grip soles and I thought nothing could possibly happen in the two blocks between my close apartment and Murray. The University had surely cleared the paths.

Maybe when I get there, it’ll be canceled. I just can’t imagine the University not canceling class in this weather, as there is more than 6 inches of fresh snow.” These were the thoughts in my head as I crossed George Street and headed toward Murray across Vorhees Quad. The ground was deceptively slick, as the earlier snow had frozen to a sheet of ice topped by seemingly innocent fresh powder. As I rounded the corner after passing Scott Hall I slipped for the first time, a victim of the slight downgrade. Mostly just embarrassed, I thanked the good Samaritans who had stopped to check that I was OK and brushed myself off.

Another 20 feet or so down the central path that leads right up to Murray Hall, I was feeling good. Slippery, yes, but I was walking slowly and carefully. All of a sudden, the uneven pavement got me again. Boom! Busted my butt again… this time less gracefully, and I landed rather hard on my left wrist. One of the same good Samaritans asked, “Where are you going? Do you need help?” I assured him I would be fine to make it to Murray — which I was, as it was only about ten feet away.

Finally reaching the inside of the building, I shook off the cold and realized, holy mother of God, my wrist hurt! Looking down, I noticed my wrist was about the size of a baseball and rather lumpy. Having come this far, I walked upstairs and told my professor that I was afraid I had hurt myself and would like to go get checked out. He, very graciously, let me leave class. I crossed the quad without incident this time, noticing that the University had finally decided to do something about the snow; there was a pickup truck plowing the walk. No salt, just plow. I then walked to the hospital in a great deal of pain.

It is now two hours later and I have just arrived home from Robert Wood Johnson ER, where the nice orthopedic doctors took my x-rays and were kind enough to diagnose me with a fractured wrist — all because the University was too cavalier with their weather preparations. Who needs salt when you can plow? Sand? Pfft! We laugh at your amateur desire for traction. I cannot fathom that I am the only person who had an issue with this Wednesday, given the predilection of the female student body for fashionable yet wholly unsafe Ugg boots.

So thank you, Rutgers. I got a whole slew of new experiences today. I fell trying to go to class. I became an ER patient. I broke my first bone! Just thought I’d share how much your preparation meant to me!

I can only hope that there was some sort of grave mistake that prevented the quad from being salted and safe for passing.buy ugg boot .

Some industries grow and profit despite the recession; others don’t

The really dismal year is showing up on the bottom line of many public companies.

But some businesses are growing revenue and earning profits, despite the recession. These industries are more insulated from the downturn or even benefiting from consumers clinging to their wallets, such as discount stores.

Others, for whatever reason, are simply bucking downward trends in their own industries.

Reviewing the stocks of several public companies in the Ventura County region revealed a mix of outcomes that are trickling through the local economy.

Take Goleta-based Deckers, maker of ugg boots, which keeps opening stores, including a location last year at the Camarillo Premium Outlets. While a majority of retailers are struggling, Deckers revenue keeps growing. The company boosted its outlook for full-year revenue growth after a record third quarter.

Its a performance that begs comment, which Chief Executive Angel Martinez provided with the release of the companys earnings.

We continue to see robust full price selling for our uggboots brand throughout our retail account base, which is particularly rewarding given the difficult macroeconomic environment, and further underscores the strength of the brand, Martinez said in a statement.

The companys other brands also are selling well.

While retail is taking a hit, industries hurting the most are in natural resources, housing and financials, according to Joe Magyer, senior analyst for the Motley Fool.

Last minute shoppers rush to finish line

February 9, 2009

wonderful, our traffic has been wonderful, customers are in a great mood,” Pavelka said.

And the recession of 2008 did not fail to produce a hot, must-have item, either. It wasn’t a toy though. It was an item of clothing that seemingly no teenage girl could live with out.

“It’s Ugg boots. You can’t keep Ugg boots in the stores. They fly out the door,” Pavelka said, referring to the shin-high boots that have roll-down wooly tops.

The boots are so ubiquitous, nearly every girl in Newtown was sporting a pair at Newtown High School’s hometown football game last month.

In some towns, high school girls favored the roll-down style, while others adapted the rolled-up look. Either way, it was Uggboots they were wearing — one of the hottest fashion trends in years.

“The caffeine has been flowing as well,” said Pavelka, who stopped by the busy food court and paid a visit to the McDonald’s there.

He talked about the season’s other hands-down winner: electronic games. They have dominated Christmas lists since the 1990s.

“Electronics are hot for the younger folks. They like the Xbox. They’re buying sweaters and accessories,” he said of the teen and young adult crowd.

There were many bargains to be had. More than a few stores had signs that said “clearance” or “50 to 70 percent off.”

That was good for U.S. Army Pvt. Albert Barnes, of Oxford.

“I got a good deal at Godiva chocolate,” said the young soldier, dressed in his fatigue uniform.

He said he had just returned from training in Missouri and was home for the holidays.

“I’m ready for Christmas,” he said, toting a bag of merchandise.

Leighann Urban of Stratford was carrying her bags as well, with her boyfriend, Mike Eavis of Bridgeport, alongside.

“I didn’t want to wait until the last minute but it just worked out that way, with money and everything,” Urban said.

But it didn’t hurt.

“Everything is on sale,” she said, smiling.

Checkout Lane: Winter boots make strides

February 6, 2009

For those looking for a sturdy boot in which to shovel snow or take the dog for a walk, work boots or insulated hiking boots can do the trick, said Ken Griffin, manager of Hanover Boot. He said most are waterproof and insulated, and come in enough styles to satisfy most buyers. For men, he said the classic tan work boot is still the most popular.

Rubber boots are another option, though many are only available in medium width and full sizes. Griffin said boots with at least a rubber bottom will be more likely to keep feet dry.

Especially the sloppier it is, you’re going to lean toward the rubber bottom and leather uppers,” he said. “Rubber keeps you dry, leather lets your feet breathe.”

Griffin said that in recent years, boot technology has caught up with sneaker technology.

You’re seeing more arch supports in a lot of these things,” he said. “And better comfort, especially if you take a little bit of a pounding.”

Some customers are looking for boots that grip ice and won’t slip, but few uggboots can do that on their own, said Aaron Schirano, assistant manager at Eastern Mountain Sports in Hingham.

People expect the boots to grip everything, but really it’s rubber on ice and it’s not going to do the job,” he said.

Instead, he suggests add-ons like Yaktrax, which clip onto shoes and provide traction on snow and ice.

Schirano said the boots EMS carries typically range from around $85 to $160. That doesn’t include Ugg boots, the popular Australian brand, which can be much more expensive. While Schirano said Uggs are EMS’s best seller, they are “more of a fashion statement than a practicality.”

Socks are the final, crucial element in keeping feet warm and dry.

Schirano recommends synthetic or wool socks, which wick moisture away from feet.

Cotton is your worst enemy,” he said. “It holds a lot of moisture, and when your foot’s wet, it’s going to be cold.”

Players perspectives across women’s basketball

CHELTENHAM, Md.: “Marissa, wake up! It’s Christmas!” Those are the words I woke up to on Christmas morning.

My little brother Anthony came running in my room shouting those words. Did I mention that he is 18, a freshman in college, and in no way should be so excited about waking his almost 22-year-old sister up at 7:30 on Christmas morning?

I love Christmas just as much as anyone, but 7:30 a.m.? Come on!

Okay … who am I kidding? I LOVE Christmas, and maybe I was secretly awake at 6 a.m. Christmas morning waiting for the rest of the family to wake up. So, I guess I was not so upset about the 7:30 a.m. “wakeup.”

See, Anthony and I are big kids when it comes to Christmas. Yes, we still make Christmas lists and anxiously await to see what things Santa brings us on Christmas morning. This Christmas was no different.

After I was forced out of bed, I calmly, in zombie-like fashion, walked (or ran) downstairs to open gifts. I must say, I was pretty excited and happy with the gifts Santa brought this year. I guess I was a good girl after all!

Finally, Santa brought me the Uggboots I have wanted oh so bad for the past year!

So, ladies and gentlemen, don’t be surprised if you see these boots with every outfit I wear. (This includes sweat pants, basketball shorts etc. — I did mean every outfit.)

Once we were done opening gifts it was time to help my Mom cook. Well, I mean, it was time for me to stand in the kitchen and try my best to make it look like I was being a good little helper.

I think it was best that I had no part in cooking Christmas dinner, because one of two things could have occurred: 1) I manage to burn the kitchen down (for those of you who are not aware, I am a very clumsy person and tend to perform impossible acts of clumsiness); and 2) Every person that ate my Christmas dinner would leave not feeling too well (this would not be because they were stuffed with my great cooking!).

So, hats off to the cook and her wonderful Christmas dinner!

Nothing too exciting happened during dinner. The exciting stuff came after. See, I think I found my true calling in life. No, not basketball but a professional drummer!

My nephew got Rock Band for Christmas and I was probably more excited than him with his gift. I told him to bring it to my house so we could play after Christmas dinner. Well, all I can say is Travis Barker should watch out, he might just be dethroned as the best drummer after the skills I displayed.

I am not too sure if there are many people that can match the skills I displayed on the Rock Band drums. So, if basketball doesn’t work out for me, there is always Xbox360 and Rock Band.

Well, there are still a few hours of Christmas left, more importantly a few more hours for me to perfect my new craft! I hope everyone had a great Christmas, enjoyed their time with their family and received everything on their Christmas list! I love ugg boots .

Your guide to winter fashion

The moral for the savvy shopper? A few appropriately outstanding pieces will add the necessary pop to your otherwise unchanged wardrobe.

Julia Seidl, creative director of Stylehog.com, “your online guide to runway fashion on a budget,” suggests that investing in a few key pieces can sufficiently update nearly any wardrobe.

“Thanks to Michelle Obama, the structured and tailored shift dress has quickly replaced the power suit as the go-to piece’ for working women everywhere,” Seidl wrote in an email.

And when it comes to footwear, Seidl says, there’s only one choice.

“The bootie (the hybrid between shoes and boots) has become the hottest footwear of the season. Whether worn with pants for the day or tights and a skirt for a night out, the bootie is the only shoe/boot you need this season,” Seidl wrote.

It’s tough to talk boots without uttering the dreaded three-letter word that is still making little dollar signs pop up in eyes of shoe salesmen everywhere: UGG.

“The UGGboots have continued to be popular,” said Bob Scanlon of Oneonta’s Sport Tech. “They keep coming back for them.”

Seidl, among others, would just as soon this wasn’t the case. “UGGs are like an ex-boyfriend we seem to bump into everywhere we go,” she wrote. “We would have thought this trend would have disappeared into the fashion abyss a long time ago. But judging by what we see on the street, this trend is as popular as ever.”

Before picking up your own pair, however, consider the possible backlash. There is an Anti-UGG Boots League on Facebook, an anti-UGG petition circulating on the Internet, anti-UGG T-shirts and even an anti-UGG public service announcement on YouTube (created “as a mock campaign against the UGG boot trend within our pop culture”).

Accessories offer an affordable means of updating your look, and this season’s picks are anything but mild. The usual standards of purses and jewelry have been joined by brooches, gloves and even hats (yes, ladies: hats) as the season’s smart sartorial choices.
