BIKERNET OFFICIAL CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS CONTEST– Once again, I was disqualified from my neighborhood?s “Best Decorated House” contest!

Robotic Hamsters Sell Out at Walmart–Nov. 15 (Bloomberg) — Selling retailers on this season?s must-have toy, robotic hamsters called Zhu Zhu Pets, was like gambling millions in blackjack, said creator Russell Hornsby.
?This is a Christmas where a lot of people didn?t want to take big risks,? Hornsby, 56, founder and chief executive officer of closely held Cepia LLC, said in a telephone interview. ?You?re gambling because you?re selling to kids. That?s a pretty fickle group.?
The bet is paying off. U.S. and U.K. retailers, such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Target Corp., Toys ?R? Us Inc. and Tesco Plc, can?t keep them in stock. Target is limiting them to four per customer. Some parents are resorting to Amazon.com, where the critters sell for at least twice the $8-to-$10 price.
?It?s the hottest toy I?ve seen since I?ve been at Toys ?R? Us, and old-timers tell me this is one of the hottest toys in history,? said CEO Jerry Storch, 53. He has been at Toys ?R? Us for almost four years.
A must-have toy may spur more foot traffic and purchases at retailers, and Zhu Zhu Pets is the first since Mattel Inc.?s 10th anniversary Tickle Me Elmo in 2006 to spark as much buzz, said Gerrick Johnson, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets in New York. He projects sales of $50 million this year.
U.S. consumers plan to spend 30 percent less this season, according to a survey by Port Washington, New York-based NPD Group Inc.

CONFEDERATE MOTORS ANNOUNCES NEW APPAREL LINE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH KUSHITANI–New line will be unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
Birmingham, Ala. – Confederate Motors, Inc., the premiere American-made luxury motorcycle manufacturing company, will unveil a new apparel line, created exclusively for Confederate by Kushitani at the Los Angeles Auto Show December 4-13.
“It’s a thrilling time to be a part of Confederate,” Matt Chambers, CEO and founder of Confederate Motors, said. “We have made some important and exciting partnerships with the world’s best creators of motorcycle apparel and helmets and it is an honor to be able to provide these items for our current and future clients.” Chambers spent several years meeting with the world’s top clothiers before developing an exclusive line of motorcycle apparel with world-renowned Kushitani. Designed exclusively for Confederate, Kushitani will hand craft two leather jackets and a leather jean for the company.
“We were immediately impressed with the caliber of materials and hand-craftsmanship that went into the creation of our new apparel line,” Chambers said. “It’s not easy to match our sensibilities for design, style and luxury, but Kushitani rose far above the challenge and we could not be happier with the end product. We are ecstatic for the opportunity to show off the new line at the LA Auto Show.”
Also on hand at the LA Auto Show will be the latest Confederate creation, the P120 Fighter Combat. As with previous Confederate models, the new Fighter has caused a sensation amongst motoring connoisseurs. Incorporating a massive 120cu motor (1966cc) into a lightweight aluminum frame, producing an astounding 145 foot pounds of torque and 160 rear wheel horsepower, the agile and powerful machine also takes Confederate’s hallmark design to new heights, resulting in a creation that can only be described as breathtaking.
