Thought UGGs were comfy? Turns out a pair of UGG boots can be as bad for your feet as a pair of torturous stilettos. And they don’t even elongate your legs or look cute! Dr. Ed Chairman, a Philadelphia podiatrist, said the popular boots lack foot or ankle supports, which turns UGG-wearers into pain-havers. If treated early, the pain can be resolved with an orthotic, but if the UGG-lover waits too long to seek treatment, surgery could be required. Wouldn’t it be easier to ditch ‘em altogether?

The recent sorority and fraternity rush seasons have led to a marked escalation in social events, which inevitably leads to a dramatic increase in the number of dressed up girls heading in the direction of Zimple street. We, the onlookers who have chosen not to be involved in Greek life, have been privy to the gaggles of girls leaving for their themed formals, rainbow parties or what have you.
Don't get me wrong, this happens all year long, but it has been more noticeable as of late. Whether it be cowgirls, mermaids or wooly mammoths, there seems to be one thing that most have in common - the total lack of ability to walk in high-heeled shoes.
There is something very important to realize here: If you wear Rainbows, Havaianas or Ugg boots every single day of your life, and you think that you can slip on your $20 pair of stilettos and survive an entire night of drunken revelry, well, then you are totally, sadly, devastatingly wrong.
How do I know that you are incapable of walking in shoes that aren't as flat as your chest (circa 1996)? Well, there are a few telltale signs: Your upper body weight is pitched forward at a precarious angle; your eyes are roving maniacally on the ground to watch for any upcoming hazards; you seem unable to straighten your legs all the way and are making movements similar to that of a burglar pussyfooting around a sleeping house.
Now let's assume that somehow you've made it to your destination in one piece. What's next? Drinks and dancing, of course. Here's where another crucial factor comes into play: Things aren't going to get any easier after you've had a few drinks. The general consensus among inexperienced heel wearers seems to be that if you get drunk, you will forget how much those shoes hurt you and the night will go perfectly. Sorry to burst your bubble: You're wrong!
Drunkenly dancing and flailing around in your $20 heels will result in the development of agonizing blisters. Even if by some miracle of baby Jesus you manage to survive the night, you will have hell to pay for the next two weeks.

Oxnard College is offering free English classes for workers at local businesses.The idea is to teach employees the English they need to do their jobs, said Christopher Jones, project director. So a hotel might request a class focusing on housekeeping terms. Or a hospital could offer a class on medical terms.
The college received a $399,000, two-year grant from the chancellor of the California Community College System to start the pilot program, which has 400 spaces available.
So far, two companies have signed up — Catalytic Solutions Inc. in Oxnard, which makes catalytic converters, and Deckers Outdoor Corp. in Camarillo and Ventura.
Deckers, which markets Ugg boots and Teva sandals as well as other products, has about 30 people in the classes, said Lou Flores, human resources manager.
The company signed up for the program because it wanted to improve communication between workers and managers, he said.
“Our manager likes to go out on the floor and talk to people directly,” Flores said. “We also wanted to give employees opportunities to take new positions. We look at it as an opportunity for both the employees and for us.”

A few tips ont he new spring chic
Spring is finally here, girls. That means time for a rejuvenation of the mind, spirit and beauty icon inside us all.
DON'T buy jeans that are too small for you. It looks uncomfortable, it feels uncomfortable and nobody wants to see your underwear every time you sit down.
DON'T wear your Ugg boots with shorts. This is tacky. If it's warm enough to wear shorts, it's time to break away from the Uggs and get with the spring season.
DO opt for strappy sandals. These are flat shoes but are incredibly elongating to the legs. Right now, golden and black strappy sandals are the top style, some with a cute flower embroidery near the toe strap. Chunky wedges are also big right now, and can be found in every style and color.
DON'T wear a choker, what are you a dog? This look can work wonderfully at times during the cold winter months, but it's too confining for spring.
DO try a bold necklace, an over-sized ring or a funky bracelet to pop out of any outfit making it fun and unique.
These are just a few pointers and tips about the fashion world right now. As college students our main focus is our education, but it doesn't hurt to look cute while we work toward our degrees!

Remember when you were a teenager? Think back to those angst-ridden days when you felt that no-one could possibly understand you or just what you were going through. It's definitely not a phase we'd happily relive so 13-year-old Amy Green can thank her lucky stars that her crazy/beautiful Aunt Clover is there to help her negotiate safely through the treacherous waters.
Amy is going through a tough time. Her parents have split up, her mother is distracted by her two new babies, her father is wrapped up in his relationship with Shelley, aka Miss Perky, and her best friend Mills has had her head turned by the aspirational Sophie who wants nothing more than to be part of the D4 crowd. And this is a set to which Amy will never belong, no matter how religiously she wears her Ugg boots or straightens her hair, especially if she develops a friendship with the intriguing Seth.
Seventeen-year-old Clover is cool, so cool in fact that one February she drove her convertible Mini, top-down naturally, through Dublin's city centre clad only in a bikini. She made the national newspapers though. She's now got a job as an agony aunt on teen mag, The Goss, and in between juggling invites to fabulous launches, fashion shows and parties, she needs Amy's advice so that she can truly help her readers. Clover isn't planning on spouting platitudes, she believes in taking action and Amy is going to help her.
Amy Green: Teen Agony Queen is the first teen novel by author Sarah Webb. It's a slightly different departure for the prolific novelist better known for her adult fiction and her forays into the children's market.
But the tales of Amy Green are certain to spawn a series as they address the issues facing young teens from bullying and divorce to step families and peer isolation in a language that isn't patronising to her readers. Webb also manages to subtly incorporate a theme throughout: that we should always be true to ourselves, rather than simply following the herd. It may not be easy but it will be worthwhile. Amy isn't perfect, but then what 13-year-old girl is?
And it's her very flaws that are endearing. If you're a parent wondering just why your teenager is sweet as sugar one moment and black as night the next, then you'll enjoy this novel too. I love uggs and ugg boot .
