“Flamingo kid: Are LeBron's new Nike Air Max 8 South Beach sneakers nice or Miami Vice? - New York Daily News” plus 1 more |
| Posted: 19 Oct 2010 10:56 AM PDT  Nike Nike Air Max LeBron 8 South Beach Edition.Cue the Jan Hammer soundtrack to Miami Vice. NBA superstar LeBron James's latest sneaker has dropped and it's got pastel Florida style that the Golden Girls would envy. The Nike Air Max LeBron 8 South Beach Edition is bright turquoise and with hot pink accents. Think flamingos, Art Deco and tropical drinks. LeBron unveiled the new sneaker over the weekend at the House of Hoops in the Dadeland Mall in Miami and a handful of other locations in South Beach. For those who can't wait to rock it like 'Sonny' Crockett, the shoes will be available later this month, according to ESPN. Other color schemes, including ones featuring the Heat's red and black will also be for sale.
"I'm 100 percent, I'm hands-on, from the start of the whole creation," James told ESPN. "What type of airbag, the mid-sole, the out-sole, the colors, all the way to the performance when I put it on before the game. Everything." Not everyone is a fan of the $160 blue sneakers. Dan Fogarty of the sports blog Sports Grid described the color scheme as "80's coke lord had a baby with the Miami Dolphin." "I'm having trouble wrapping my head around how this shoe is going to sell — even among sneaker fanatics," Justin Fenner of Styleite told Fogarty. "It's very 80s and very colorful, but being de rigueur and being downright unattractive aren't mutually exclusive." The All-Star forward, whose move from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Miami Heat spurred more controversy than congratulations. His home town cried foul when he announced his decision to move to Miami on ESPN. New Yorkers, hoping the superstar would come and rescue the sagging Knicks, were bitterly disappointed to see the 25-year-old player to fly south. "To move to a whole new state is not fun — trying to figure out your family situation, figure out where you'll be living, figuring out new routes to your work. That's not fun," James told USA Today. "The experience and gratification of it all, it becomes fun." Maybe he's hoping his new kicks will brighten up his tough transition.

| Five Fun Garden Ideas for Kids - Associated Content Posted: 18 Oct 2010 03:44 PM PDT 3. Plant Herb Pots with Handmade Name Markers  Part two of this project is handcrafting the Name Markers. These can be done in so many ways and possibly using any number of items already in your home. They can be very simple with popsicle sticks, colored markers, and a clear coat of glue to preserve them from the elements for as long as possible; or you can find all the old spoons you have sitting in that mismatch section of the silverware drawer to be recycled into a whimsical garden accent. Your child can design them whatever way they want with paint, permanent marker, or even decoupage from cut outs of garden magazines. If your little one doesn't write very well yet, then write the plant name for them below their artwork, otherwise ask your child to label correctly. Make sure to have some sealant or Mod Podge on hand to evenly seal the artwork and keep it safe from the elements no matter what material you are using. 4. Start a Compost Pile Starting a compost pile is quite simple, it's keeping it going that takes a little effort. If you have the time to commit at least once a week, then this really is a fantastic project to do with your children and the rewards are never ending for your garden. There are two main composting systems and they are: Both will be affected differently in different climates. A great way to understand how to best start composting in your area is to check your local jurisdiction for their composting guide. Many offer a discounted price on pre-fab compost bins. Otherwise a great resource for all types of composting is the Rodale Book of Composting. 5. Make a Shoe Pot What's better than making space in your closet, recycling old shoes, having a fun project for your child, and ending up with a wonderfully, whimsical garden piece? I don't know either, this project has it all. Simply find the shoes you want to part with (boots are ideal due to the large soil holding capacity), make sure there is a hole already in the sole from excessive wear or drill the hole in, fill with soil, plant, and voila! Simple, fun, and creative. Find a spot for your child's shoe pots and make it a theme garden just for them. Then, don't stop at just shoes; encourage your child to look around the house for other containers that they think would look great with a plant. You'll be surprised at how many things will work and are better used in a more practical way anyway. Enjoy trying each of these fun garden ideas with your children. They will remember the time with you and what they helped add to the garden for a lifetime, guaranteed.
