Target Thanksgiving One-day sale
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Hot Deals
Okay, we know that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are all about the deals, but we figured we'd clue you in on Target's Thanksgiving Day sale as well. They'll have a bunch of deals available just for the day of Thanksgiving, as we're betting you'll find some steals that are just as good as what they'll have on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Be sure to give it a look between bites of turkey during those football commercials.

Exploring Hydrocarbon Depletion
Page added on October 24, 2010
At the recent conference of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil & Gas-USA in Washington, D.C., an unknown person hired two people to dress as Chicken Little and walk around outside the conference venue.
The trouble with Chicken Little is that he neither had a practical plan to address the problem of the falling sky nor the sense to discern the intentions of Foxy Loxy who ultimately devoured Chicken Little and his friends before they could reach the king to tell him that the sky is falling. As such, Chicken Little gives us poor guidance about the effect that the efforts of those involved in the peak oil movement will likely have. A better analogy would be the so-called Y2K problem.
Y2K refers to the problem of two-digit year notation previously used in computers, notation which could only accommodate years up to 1999. Many experts believed that computer failures related to this problem had the potential to be highly disruptive of global society if not corrected before the year 2000. As a result of this concern, firms and governments spent large sums to update or replace outdated software and hardware.
Critics of extensive Y2K preparations said that the problem was overblown and that any necessary corrections could me made after January 1, 2000 on an as-needed basis. Those who supported extensive Y2K preparation cited the almost completely smooth rollover to January 1, 2000 as a vindication for their strategy. Oddly, their opponents cited the same smooth rollover as proof that such preparation, which was by no means complete in all sectors of the economy, was largely unnecessary.
The peak oil movement is facing a similar scenario. If those concerned about peak oil were miraculously able to get governments, communities and households to begin rapid and extensive preparations for oil decline, the effects of such a decline, when it arrived, would, of course, be mitigated to a considerable extent. No doubt, at that point those who claimed that peak oil would not be a problem would say that the less than catastrophic result proves that peak oil was never a serious threat to civilization. In other words, don't expect to be thanked if preparations urged on your community prevent problems. Heroic measures after a crisis always get more attention and attract more awards.
Of course, many of those in the peak oil movement would say that it is far too late in the game to prevent the catastrophic consequences of an oil decline because that decline is imminent. But it is a common mistake to underestimate the adaptive power of human communities when faced with a crisis. The real difficulty remains in convincing the public that such a crisis may actually be nearby and that an ounce of prevention will be far preferable to the pound of cure which will surely have to be applied.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC Girls Elite squad won their first game of the Metro Women's Soccer League (MWSL) Cup on Sunday, winning a tough 5-2 game over West Coast FC Kerrisdale.
The girls had to survive the rough, muddy conditions of the grass at Montgomery Field and a very physical, motivated West Coast FC to win their first ever Cup game.
"It just shows the opportunity we have playing in the Metro Women's Soccer League, to play in a cup environment," said Whitecaps FC Girls Elite head coach Jesse Symons. "The team we played, full credit to them, they were cheering on every little battle they won and were very motivated to eliminate our space and our chances. We fought through and were able to generate some opportunities and did well to finish our chances."
Whitecaps' Monika Levarsky opened the scoring in the 15th minute, scoring one of two goals on the day, receiving a ball played through by Chelsea Harkins.
"I saw the open net, I saw the open lane, I just wanted to pass the player and just take the shot," said an excited, mud-soaked Levarsky following the game. "I saw the open gate, it was right there so I took it on my left foot."
Just six minutes later Margaret Hadley added to the lead. She charged down the left side of the field and received a cross pass from Harkins, from there she made no mistakes.
In the 40th minute Alessia Azermadhie played a ball through to Harkins who scored a back-post goal, putting the score at 3-0 going into the half.
The second half did not start as planned for the 'Caps. The girls gave up goals in the 53rd and 61st minute, putting West Coast FC within one.
The quick scare from the Kerrisdale team was short lived as Ruby Sandhu played a ball to Aman Shergill in the 68th minute, which went in on a near post shot.
"We have full trust in our group," said Symons. "Although they scored a couple goals early in the second half, we fought through and scored pretty soon after that. We held firm and stayed focused on keeping the lead and never gave it up."
"It was a little challenging because of the field conditions, but I think we all pushed for each other towards the end after the two goals we let in," said Levarsky. "We just got our heads back up and got back those goals."
She would put the game out of reach in the 87th minute with her second of the game on a great individual effort.
"I was kind of greedy, I didn't want to pass it off. I saw that it was open, so I just wanted to take my shot."
Symons was especially impressed with Levarsky's play.
"From start to finish, when Monika was playing she pushed the team and really deserved her second goal later in the match. She worked tirelessly throughout the game and really tried to push through," he said. "She really showed that cup game mentality, fighting for everything, getting in every tackle, sliding for balls. She did very well today."
Levarsky was one player who was not fazed by the tough field conditions.
"Right now we're used to turf, it's a challenge and I think we all just take it and we just play," she said. "I love playing on grass, getting down and dirty, it's part of the game, it's fun."
The girls play their next cup game on Saturday against NSGSC Renegades (8W-3L-2D) in what is expected to be a tough matchup.

Oldham County has been issued a $250,000 challenge. If this challenge is met, it will help set more Oldham County youth on a strong path toward higher education and career success. It also will ensure the county's current and emerging workforce and training education needs are addressed for many years to come.
The recent midterm election can be counted as a success by the Republicans. Mitch McConnell defeated Alison Grimes by 15 points, Republicans will control the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives remains firmly in the grasp of Republicans.
In Oldham County, I believe it was a clean sweep by Republicans. If there is a Democratic office holder, I'm not sure who it might be – although there are some in the Republican Party that think a few of our local office holders are posers and are only Republicans so they can get elected.
Last weekend, my daughters and I were invited to a fancy tea party at a fancy house in a fancy neighborhood. I kinda always wanted to be fancy, but it doesn't come naturally to me. Truthfully, it doesn't come at all.
Example: I recently had an extremely important business meeting. So, I forced myself out of my blue jeans and into my fancy business clothes, complete with silk stockings and black pumps.
I've been trying to come up with a subject to write about for my first column for weeks now. It's been the same deal: I sit down with a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning while in bed, trying to rack my brain for a good idea…any idea.
Writing blog posts and columns are easy for me…but only at times.
Always believe in miracles. That is what all of us need to remember as we enter into another Christmas season. There is plenty of cynicism and skepticism to go around, but I say focus on the miracle that God became human in Jesus Christ and that miracle can give us hope no matter what situation we find ourselves in. I found an old story from Guidepost Magazine's book Christmas Miracles, c. 2008. The story is edited, for this article, but the full version can be found on the internet. It always brings a tear of joy to my eyes.
When my cousin celebrated her 10-year anniversary, I was reminded of an incident in my own marriage. Her wedding happened to be on the same evening as a much anticipated bluegrass music jam. I repeatedly asked hubby if he would prefer that I go to the wedding alone, but he assured me that he really wanted to attend.
Pay your bill
I wish to make a few comments about the front-page article in last week's Oldham Era regarding the business owner who refuses to pay his business license fee.
I work in the City of La Grange and am subject to the city's occupational tax. This results in my having to pay the city hundreds of dollars per year. Let me reiterate and capitalize for emphasis: HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS.
Every year we see marvelous and wonderful progress in the field of medical science. At one time diphtheria was one of the dreaded diseases of humankind. But today, nobody is afraid of diphtheria; it has practically been eliminated. So has smallpox, and thank God, so has polio. Pneumonia used to be a dreaded disease, but today, the physicians have medicines that can deal with pneumonia. Great progress is being made daily in the field of cancer. Medical science marches on to new heights.
As I was driving to work last week on one of those particularly cold mornings, my car beeped at me and alerted me to the fact I only had enough gas to get 10 more miles down the road.
I pulled into the next closest gas station, fought the frigid gusts of wind to get the pump started, then hightailed it back into the car to snuggle into my heated seat. Then I texted a co-worker on my cell phone that I would be just a few minutes late getting to the office.
Later it occurred to me the scene would have been entirely different just 20 years ago.
Gallup did a survey this summer. It asked people how much confidence they had in various institutions.
According to the survey, only 7 percent of Americans said they trusted Congress a great deal or quite a lot, compared with 29 percent who trusted the presidency.
As I sit here at my favorite local restaurant, I am reminded how nice it is to live in a place where I can order what I want and the servers never argue with me. This might seem odd in a country where "have it your way" is a major marketing slogan, but after two months in Berlin, Germany, I realize we are truly lucky.
The German people tend to be very rigid and that carries over to the food service industry. Hubby noticed it first.
Some time ago I was in another city and a friend offered to fly me home in his little two-seater airplane. On the way he suddenly realized we had gotten off course and were lost. We couldn't see any landmarks to guide us, the ground below was rough and there was no place to land. My friend was concerned we could run out of gas. There was no radio in the plane to check our course. For a time, life for us was a very uncomfortable experience.
On Monday, Nov. 17, the snow brought down limbs from one of our trees and blocked Barkwood Dr. A neighbor called the Oldham County Road Dept. and a crew came right out and pushed the limbs out of the road. On Wednesday, Nov. 19, the road crew came out and removed the limbs from our yard. Here's a big thank you to the road crews for your great service.

Thanks to voters
I am Jim Key. I ran for Magistrate in District 6.
Over the last two weeks I have shared some basic information about why I think the Bible is a reliable and authoritative word from God. The following story illustrates vividly that God uses His word to change lives. The following is taken from a letter written by Mils and Sandy Becker in 1995.
November is National Diabetes Awareness Month and in recent years the spotlight has been on Type 2 Diabetes and its precursor – known as prediabetes. Both conditions have been increasing at startling rates in the adult population.
New statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that 86 million people in the U.S. have prediabetes, up from 79 million people in 2010. The number of type 2 diabetes cases also continues to grow, fueled in part by a continued rise in the rate of obesity.
Every day I get older, but am I really wiser? I think most of us carry on being just as clueless, still making plenty of mistakes. It's just that we make new ones and different ones. We do learn from experience and may not make the same mistakes again, but there is a whole new world of fresh ones just lying in wait for us to mess up and fall into. The secret is to accept this and not to beat yourself up when you do mess things up. Be forgiving and accept that it's all part of that growing older but no wiser routine.
I often reference my weight struggles in this column, and then sometimes, when I meet someone, they will say, "You are not fat. I don't know why you wrote that."
I accept their words with a smile, but in my mind I am insisting, "three weeks ago when I wrote it I weighed at least 12 more pounds than I do now! You should see me naked. It's hideous."
Last week I gave a very brief overview of where we got the Old Testament. There are just as many questions about the New Testament and just as many theories that seek to undermine the authority of the New Testament as a reliable witness to the life and ministry of Jesus Christ and the emergence of the Christian Church.

Fair Share: Country & City in Australia
Posted in Opinion, Visions by Kate Archdeacon on June 15th, 2011
Image: MargaretNapier via flickr CC
For many decades Australia was the country that rode on the sheep's back. No more – now we are a country of mining and services. In the new Wheeler Centre Quarterly Essay, one of Australia's most original and respected political thinkers, Judith Brett, looks at what this has meant for the country and the city in our politics and culture. What will be the fate of rural and regional Australia in an era of economic rationalisation, water cutbacks, climate change, droughts and flooding rain? Does urban Australia care for or understand the country anymore?
The Wheeler Centre, 6:15PM – 7:15PM, Thursday 16 June 2011
Free event; recommended to make a booking.

"Black Nativity" Opens Today & Scores High With Critics
Famed writer and director, Kasi Lemmons brings movie goers a holiday musical drama based on a contemporary adaptation of Langston Hughes' celebrated play, "Black Nativity." The film follows Langston (Jacob Latimore), a street-wise teen from Baltimore raised by a single mother, as he journeys to Harlem to spend the Christmas holiday with his estranged grandparents.
Starring Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, Jennifer Hudson, Jacob Latimore, Nas, Mary J. Blige, Tyrese, and Luke James, the film which opens today, scored positive reviews amongst critics. Kam Williams (AALBC.com) gave the film 4 Out of 4 Stars and calls the film "A timeless parable as memorable for its uplifting spirituals as for its moving message about the importance of faith and family." Screen Daily's John Hazelton praised the soundtrack and the director and cast for pulling off the musical numbers during the heavy and dramatic scenes throughout the film. While Kristine Francis (celebdirtylaundry.com), calls the film "The Musical Event Of The Holiday Season." "Black Nativity" is in theaters everywhere today.
