Do you recognise this man?
If so, Marc Fisher, a reporter and editor at the Washington Post would probably like to hear from you.
The photograph shows a man, wearing Marc's brand new winter coat, and holding a wad of notes that he's lifted from Marc's 15-year-old son's desk.
Not only was cash stolen in the burglary, but Marc's son's laptop, iPod, and some savings bonds were also taken.
What's astonishing is that the thief also decided to open the stolen computer, take a picture of himself posing with the stolen items, and posted it on Marc Fisher's son's own Facebook account.
You can read the full story on the Washington Post website where the reporter appears to be underwhelmed by the police's response so far, but at least reports that Facebook acted quickly to shut down the burglar's access to his son's account.
You have to wonder just how far Facebook addiction has gone for someone to feel compelled to upload evidence of their crimes while still out on the job.
Update: In February 2011, 19-year-old Rodney Knight plead guilty to second-degree burglary in connection with the incident described above.
Prosecutors said that Knight had stole about $400 in cash, as well as a coat and two laptop computers.
Knight also admitted one count of carrying a pistol without a license, in an unrelated incident to the burglary.
In May 2011 he was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison (27 months for the burglary and 17 months for the weapons offense).

i'd love to hear your thoughts on if (and how) GTD can be a helpful system for people with ADD. i've never been diagnosed with ADD, but am convinced i have it (and probably have had since childhood). it seems that systems, checklists, etc are useful for me, but i would be interested to know others' experiences with this. any other tools you use?

Suggestions for ADD
For complex tasks where I can't omit a detail and can't make an error, I use checklists. They may include step-by-step reminders and even data I have to refer to repeatedly. For example, I do a payroll every week, and I have a checklist that lists everyone's wages and has spaces for me to record check sequences and check counts, reminders to print out the check register, to call in a tax deposit, etc. It lists miscellaneous deductions from some of the employees' checks, like child support, etc. I would never be able to remember all of this detail without the checklist. But with the checklist I get it right every time. (I just have to avoid obsessing over the checklist, trying to make it more and more perfect--it gets to be another distraction)
Also, color is helpful--when I do the payroll there are up to 100 time sheets on my desk that have to be reviewed, plus various reports. And I have to refer to the checklist to make sure the correct hourly rates were used. So I print the checklist out on colored paper. Thus I can find it instantly in the mess of papers without having to pick up the timesheets and reports and shuffle through them--and maybe it's not because of the ADD, but I hate shuffling through papers--it really makes me feel lost and out of control and even panicky.
For other things that I have to keep sorted and have to distinguish between, I also use color coding--colored files, colored cover sheets, so I can instantly recognize exactly what I'm dealing with and sort it immediately, and get it filed in the right place.
I only have a few checklists and a few colors of paper--am afraid I could get really obsessed with making up checklists and devising color coding schemes--I only use them when I've recognized a serious problem that causes errors, wastes time, etc.
I keep my desk as clear as possible, because any stray pieces of paper or post-it's distract me from the project at hand. Everything is filed away on a bookshelf if I'm not working on it. And my desk faces the wall so the stuff in the room won't distract me. It seems that order and neatness are supremely difficult to achieve with the ADD, but really essential because if things are not organized they are very distracting.
Music could be helpful--am still working on this--there's a thread about music and productivity--am trying to find music that won't distract me.
I have a big problem with schedules--hate schedules--so I use the physical files as a reminder--stacked behind me on a shelf or on the floor--schedules for deskwork just bother me so much that I've given up on them. Though I do fine with appointments with clients. Just can't schedule myself to do deskwork at a particular time.
Hope this helps.

Meg Edwards at davidco specializes in this
I just had the pleasure of talking to her (following up some questions I asked at Friday's RoadMap seminar in Boston), and she comes from an ADD/ADHD background. She gave me the following links:
I don't know if those will help. Hiring her would probably be amazing, though...

Catherine Brooks has just launched an Etsy store, and along with it her first edition of prints. This print is limited to only 10. The print is 10″ x 13″, signed and numbered. The amazing thing about these prints is that each one is hand embellished. She hand painted the gold details into each one of the prints, to help regain the "metallic nature" of her paintings. The other bonus is "each one is a little different and you may find a tiny graphite secret drawn into the the back and maybe a gold finger print."

6th Century Denmark, and the domain of King Hrothgar (Hopkins) is under attack from a hideous demon named Grendel (Crispin Glover). The heroic Beowulf (Winstone), a Geat warrior, arrives and vows to defeat Grendel. But if he manages that, there's Grendel's angry and seductive mother (Jolie) to contend with…
It's not a reinvention of the wheel, but in 3D this is an astonishing experience that borders on 'must-see', and raises the bar for what James Cameron is planning with Avatar. And you'll be glad to know that the creepy dead eyes thing has been fixed.

Video: Controversial gas-can photo explained by driver
Sandra Ramirez spoke to 9NEWS Wednesday morning about this photo. The Colorado Department of Transportation posted the photo on its Facebook page on Tuesday.
Stacey Stegman, CDOT spokesperson, says the photo was taken by an Aurora traffic officer during a traffic stop as part of the Click It or Ticket enforcement.
Ramirez says the photo is one big misunderstanding.
"It is just a big misunderstanding, and I'm sorry if I offended anybody, but I'm not a bad mom," Ramirez told 9NEWS.
Lieutenant Chuck DeShazer, Commanding Officer of the Aurora Police Department Traffic Sections, told 9NEWS Ramirez was pulled over for conducting an illegal left turn.
"She was not wearing her seat belt, and her approximately 14-year-old passenger in the front seat also wasn't wearing a seat belt," DeShazer said. "The woman told him [the officer,] 'Sorry - we just forgot.'"
Ramirez says while she was pulled over, her son was in the car seat in the back seat. However, while she was speaking to the officer, Ramirez claims her 3-year-old son wiggled out of the car seat and sat in the passenger-side back seat.
DeShazer says the officer continued to question Ramirez about the child in the back seat. He says Ramirez's response to the officer was, "Oh, he unbuckles and buckles his seat belt by himself all the time."
"He unbuckled it," Ramirez told 9NEWS. "He knows how to unbuckle it. I did not notice him until [out of] the corner of my eye as I'm turning. The lights are flashing behind me [and] he jumped over and put on his big-boy belt."
At that point, the teenage family friend in the front seat put the gas can in the car seat. Since the car seat was still buckled in, the gas can appeared to be "buckled" in.
Ramirez admits neither she nor the front-seat passenger were wearing seat belts when the officer pulled her over, but she insists her 3-year-old son was wearing one.
Ramirez is extremely upset by the controversial photo and apologized for the misunderstanding. She told 9NEWS she plans to sell her car and not drive again.
Ramirez was ticketed for the illegal turn, two seat belt violations, and the car seat violation, says DeShazer.
The law in Colorado requires all children younger than 8 years old to be in a child safety seat while traveling in a motor vehicle. The minimum stipulated fine is $82 per violation.

'Undercovers' Premiere Review: A Slick, Slight Spy Caper
But if you're looking for anything more than superficial eye-candy, you may be disappointed by this J.J. Abrams-Josh Reims espionage drama, which ditches much of what was good about Abrams' previous spy show, 'Alias,' and replaces it with, well, a whole lot of pretty-looking nothing.
'Undercovers' stars two appealing actors, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Boris Kodjoe, as Steven and Samantha Bloom, a husband-and-wife catering team who gave up the spy life five years ago. It will not surprise you when they are called back to duty and must execute super-suave secret operations in a series of attractive foreign locales. (One of the takeaways from 'Undercovers' is that Abrams, who directed the pilot for the show, missed his calling as an interior designer. Everything about the show looks fabulous -- even allegedly decrepit interiors are fabulously decrepit.)
But what lurks under the surface -- under the covers, if you will -- are truths about relationships that will also fail to surprise you. Love isn't always easy, it emerges. Even when both parties in a marriage are attractive and devoted, sometimes life runs them so ragged that they forget to appreciate each other. Visit your local greeting-card shop for additional examples of 'Undercovers'-style wisdom.
The gimmick of the show's premise is that when Steven and Samantha were CIA agents, they worked separately, and they have never talked about what they'd done in the past. So they're learning things about each other, but 'Undercovers' seems so aggressively focused on telling self-contained, episodic stories, that those personal and professional revelations seem bound to be as cheerfully banal and inconsequential as everything else about the show.
Since 'Alias' went off the air a few years ago, there's been a certain amount of spin about what went wrong with that show, some of it from its creator, Abrams. Let me state this loud and clear: Some of us quite liked the show's mythology, especially in its first couple of seasons. Sure, things got too dense and silly later in the show's run, but, without going into brain-numbing detail, suffice it to say that there were a bunch of things that went wrong with 'Alias' in its later years. To excuse all its problems by saying what 'Undercovers' appears to be saying -- i.e., "Mythologies can be tricky! Let's get rid of them!" -- is just a shortsighted and disappointing take on what works and doesn't work about that kind of show.
I'm not asking that 'Undercovers' ape 'Alias' or 'Lost,' for that matter. I'm asking that it recognize that we see weekly espionage-flavored operations on many, many TV shows these days. Unless we care about the people executing these maneuvers (as is the case with the enjoyable 'Chuck' and the increasingly terrific 'Fringe'), they just seem like the same old moves in fancier clothes. (Sidebar: If you'd given up on 'Fringe' [9PM ET Thursdays, Fox], I highly recommend reconnecting with the show this season. It got really good about midway through Season 2 by focusing on the kind of challenging interpersonal relationships and well-constructed mythological elements that 'Undercovers' appears desperate to avoid.)
All in all, 'Undercovers' appears determined to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The whole point of the show is to display super sexy spies having cool adventures and getting to know each other again as they try to put the spark back into their marriage. There's nothing necessarily objectionable about that, but forgive me if I expect more from a series that J.J. Abrams is involved in (though, given the number of TV and film projects on his plate these days, I'm guessing his involvement on the small-screen side is minimal at best).
Having said all that, 'Undercovers' is not a chore to watch. Gerald McRaney, who plays the Blooms' grumpy and unimpressed handler, is among the show's chief pleasures, and Ben Schwartz, who plays the agents' field-support nerd, is energetically enthusiastic (though the character could be dialed down a few notches). Mbutu-Raw and Kodjoe do well with the pilot's breezy banter and the show's production values are top-notch.
I'll keep watching, in the hopes that 'Undercovers' does not remain weightless and rote underneath its glossy exterior.

When I was at university, I worked at this cool little neighborhood coffee shop. I loved working there and learned so much about coffee from the owner (he roasted, in-house, all the beans we sold and used!). My favorite thing to drink there, other than a nice piping-hot cup of freshly-brewed Jamaican Blue Mountain, was an iced coffee. Never having been much of an iced coffee drinker before working there, I was blown away at how adding ice to their coffee base did not make it taste like coffee-flavored water, which is how I remembered iced coffee always tasting. And the reason why their iced coffee was so much better…because of a method called "cold-brew." Often times, most coffee shops just pour hot, brewed coffee over ice and what you end up with, as the ice begins to melt immediately, is a very watered-down cup of iced joe. But that is not the case when you cold-brew the coffee.
As far as the cold-brew method, the process essentially requires steeping coarsely ground coffee beans in cold water for 18-24 hours. While I use a system called the Toddy (given to me as a graduation gift by my boss at the coffee shop), I was curious to see if it could be done without one. And apparently, it can be. In fact, it looks as if it is is not only possible but quite easy and cost-effective. For a sampling of other ways to cold-brew, look here and here and here.
Iced Coffee (using a Toddy)
12 oz dark roast coffee beans, ground coarsely
7 cups of cold water
1. Grind your beans to a coarse ground.
2. Making sure the stopper is in the bottom of the white tub portion of the Toddy and the filter is securely placed inside, pour in one cup of cold water. Then add half of the coffee grounds. Slowly pour in three more cups of water. Then add the rest of the coffee grounds. Wait about 5 minutes and then slowly pour in the last 3 cups of water. Finally, using a spoon, gently press down on any dry grounds to ensure all grounds have been moistened.
3. Place some plastic wrap over the white tub and put in the refrigerator for about 18-24 hours.
4. When you are ready to extract the coffee base, simply set the white tub over the glass pitcher that comes with the Toddy and carefully pull out the stopper. The coffee will begin to drain slowly. It will take anywhere from 30-60 minutes to fully drain. (One full batch of coffee base, for me, can last about two weeks if I only make one iced coffee a day).
What you are left with is just pure awesomeness. Strong, full-bodied and ready for whatever you want to add in.
For an iced coffee, generally, the ratio of coffee base to your liquid of choice is 1/3 coffee to 2/3 liquid of choice (usually water or milk). But of course, you can always tweak the portions to make it stronger or weaker based on what you like. I use the above ratio and prefer using almond milk and a dash of cinnamon. Enjoy!
*If you use the Toddy or one of the other methods, I would love to hear how it turns out!
"Everybody should believe in something. I believe I'll have another coffee." ~Author unknown.

The Master's protection-arms
Another most striking incident took place in the same family. One night a group of hooligans came to the house of the old mother and the widow and were about to strike them. The hooligans wanted to take away their valuable possessions and all their money.
Both the mother and the wife shouted, screamed and cried for help at the top of their voices. Who appeared before them to save them? Their Master, Nigamananda. He appeared in a most beautiful and powerful form and threatened the hooligans with a trident, saying he would destroy them all. Then he made a circle and said that if the family stayed inside the circle, they would be safe. In Nigamananda's presence the two women brought all their valuables and money into the circle, and there they were well-protected by their Master's spiritual and occult power.
Before daybreak the hooligans, finding that they were helpless, left the house.
The Master's compassion-heart can always play the role of protection-arms. The Master loves his dear ones infinitely more than the dear ones can imagine. It is the unconditional love and concern of the Master for his dear ones that keeps the seekers' aspiration-flames burning.

Caught 2 Great Fish
Type: Freshwater
Wow!!! Great day fishing Sunday with Mike Peters and Chris Meachum. Only two fish all day, both firsts for me, and now I've got some difficult personal bests to match. Both fish released very healthy. Musky went 37 inches/13.5 pounds and the Walleye was 24.5 inches/6.4lbs looked stuffed with eggs.

Learn how to make your own muffin or cupcake tray at home using readily available utensils
Baking can seem a daunting thing when you are just starting out and realise you need different types of baking trays to get started making cupcakes and muffins. It's often not a great idea to go out and buy everything you see or feel you need especially if you are just trying your hand at baking and may not even end up liking it that much (although that's hard for me to imagine!). That's why learning how to make some basic bakeware at home really helps. So here's how you can improvise and make your own cupcake tray using an Indian spice box and small cups inside.
All of us have to start baking at some point in our lives. I started when I was 10 because I have a mom who baked a lot. Even then, we had just 2 cake trays - one was round and the other was heart-shaped. We had no cupcake trays so we never baked cupcakes.

Finishing washers are round formed washers that are designed to be used with flat and oval head screws such as wood screws, sheet metal (tapping) screws and machine screws. Being raised and convex, they accept standard 82° countersunk heads.
Finishing washers provide a large bearing surface as well as a finished appearance. It is not necessary to use a countersink to create a countersunk recess (a beveled opening) in the mating surface when using finishing washers with countersunk heads.
Washer size refers to its nominal hole size and is based on screw size. Its outside diameter (OD) is always larger. Size is usually specified as a number (#6 for example) for smaller sizes, and in fractional inches for larger sizes (like 1/4").
Finishing washers are commonly available in three materials: brass, stainless steel and steel. Common finishes include nickel plating for brass and steel, and zinc plating for steel.
They are also known as:

How To Throw A Knuckle Curveball
By Steven Ellis former Chicago Cubs pitching pro
Mike Mussina throws this variation of the curve ball. His knuckle curve ball is downright nasty!
To throw a knuckle curve ball, place your middle finger just to the left of the long seam in the horseshoe made by the seams of the ball. Then curl your index finger up like a knuckle-ball.
Next, throw the knuckle curve ball over the top, pulling the ball down to get tumbling action.
This should be a 12 to 6 break, if you were to look at a clock. You want the knuckle curve ball to move straight down and not to the side.
By curling the index finger up, this will give the ball a sharper break with tighter spin by putting more pressure on the tip of your middle finger.
The knuckle curve ball is a tough pitch to master, but when thrown correctly can be an effective out pitch - or strikeout pitch. And like the change up, when the knuckle curve ball is thrown low, it's a very effective pitch.
If you throw a nuckle curve ball and it seems that the movement goes to the side and not straight down, it's probably because you are spinning the ball from the side.
To fix this and learn how to throw a knuckle curve ball correctly, you need to curve the ball over the top so the spin is tumbling down.
That is how you get the downward movement.
If your hands are big, I would suggest the knuckle-curve, like Mike Mussina. Curl the index finger up and lay the middle finger as you were right next to the seam. Lay your thumb anywhere, so it is comfortable.
Try it in pitching practice or the next time you throw a bullpen!

Australia Test captain Michael Clarke wants to have the country's vacant bowling coach position filled before the start of the summer.
Cricket Australia (CA) is yet to fill the position following Craig McDermott's decision to leave the role in May despite interest from several candidates.
Waqar Younis was among those to put their hand up, but the former Pakistan quick announced last week he had been interviewed unsuccessfully by CA.
Clarke says he has little input into the selection but wants someone in place well before this summer's visits by South Africa and Sri Lanka.
"I don't have any say as to who gets that job but I'm certainly communicating with the guys to work out where they're at," Clarke told reporters in Sydney on Tuesday.
"Hopefully by the Australian summer we'll have a full-time bowling coach that can get on board and help the bowlers out.
"It's an important role and I know Pat Howard and Cricket Australia are doing all they can to make sure they get the right person."
Australia's bowling stocks took another blow with Ben Cutting forced home from the current A-tour of England due to a back injury.
The Queenslander joins Test young guns James Pattinson (abdominal strain) and Pat Cummins (side strain) on the sidelines while Shane Watson (calf) and Peter Siddle (back) are also injured.
Clarke says he isn't concerned about the number of injuries however and feels it's just a consequence of a tough period for Australia's cricketers.
"You'd love everybody to be fit all day every day but that's the way the game goes," Clarke said.
"When you're playing a lot of cricket, you're doing a lot of hard work.
"Guys are going to get injured, especially when you're young and your body is not accustomed to the amount of bowling you've got to do to play at the highest level."

All we want for Christmas is Mariah Carey's bod!
The singer showed off her amazing figure in a white sequined dress at the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the Rockefeller Center in New York on Tuesday.
Mimi looked stunning in her winter white curve-hugging ensemble for the holiday performance. "I know it's a lil' over the top lol #rockefellercenter#Christmastreelight," she posted along with the sexy snap.
The R&B star also slipped into sexy Santa Claus inspired gown later in the night (right).
Clearly, the 43-year-old didn't pack on any pounds over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend -- this might be the best we've seen Carey look in a long time.
After the show, Mimi dressed down to hang out with her adorable daughter Monroe, who couldn't resist slipping into her mama's heels. So cute!

When I got an electric pepper grinder mill in the mail, I was so surprised of how many batteries I need just to use the pepper grinder. I need about eight AAA batteries. I was really so stunned that the small pepper grinder would need $8 AAA batteries just for it to work. So, I went to the store to buy some batteries, yet, I was in doubt.
For $9 disposable batteries for about 20 pieces sounds good to me but those are not the better ones, yet just the ordinary store brand batteries that surely would not last for about a month or so. I thought what other alternative I could get, so I thought of buying rechargeable batteries instead. I heard about maha powerex rechargeable batteries which for only $45, you can get $16, 4 battery holders and even a case strap. This is an amazing deal for rechargeable batteries. I would definitely have to get these batteries! This is absolutely a deal you can't find anywhere!
So, if I were you, if you are looking for rechargeable batteries, then grab this deal! You don't want to miss!

Today marks the announcement of the final Rock Band DLC release set for April 2nd on the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii. It's been no surprise for over a week now that the final song is "American Pie" from Don McLean, which seems like a wonderful finale song for a game I've held near and dear to my heart for so long.
The pricing is nothing new, so I'm not going to waste time going over all of the usual details. Rock Band Network also sees it's final releases on PS3 on Tuesday as well, luckily in a double sized dose so PS3 owners can get some 2x Bass Pedal tracks for the fond farewell.
I'll provide all the details on that, but first, I need to get a little bit off my chest… Read More »

These well-designed products make travel easier on you and much safer for your pet.
More than anything else, dogs want to be with their owners. That means they want to go out and have fun doing the same things you do, including a ride in the car to get there and back. And like you, they want to be comfortable and secure when it's time for pet travel!Unfortunately, they also shed and leave their fur on your seats and upholstery. Seat covers aren't necessarily the answer, either – they may keep the fur off your seats themselves, but it's still on the seat covers!Pet pad protectors are a great idea for SUVs, giving a dog plenty of space to get comfortable in the cargo area. Big dogs tend to need a little more padding to stay comfortable, and pet pad protectors feature layers of DuPont Hollofil® insulation along with a comfortable quilted surface that's reversible to a vinyl side for a messy, muddy dog. Seat covers are available to cover not only a rear seat, but the floorboard and the backs of the front seats. With a soft, quilted surface, a paw-print design and Velcro anchors, these seat covers are a far better choice than an old blanket (which a dog will invariably get bunched-up and out of place). When it's time for auto cleanup after a dog's been on board, try this lint brush to collect all that loose dog fur. Works great along with a spray bottle of fabric refresher, to de-dogify your interior!

Dismayed in Moalboal-A A +A
Saturday, January 11, 2014
I CAME back to spend Christmas and New Year in my beloved town, Moalboal. What I saw dismayed me.
I had written to this paper two years ago about my observation of my town but I believe those fell on deaf ears or, if not, the local government officials are JUST numb to criticism from its citizenry.
The problem, I believe, does not lie on the mayor alone but rather on all elected officials, including the municipal councilors, and even the employees tasked to maintain an orderly and clean municipality.
We arrived on a Sunday. Before going to the resorts, we decided to visit the public market. The sight that met us was disgusting.
Buses occupied both sides of the road in front of the old convent, blocking traffic on both directions.
They cannot park on the supposed passenger bus stops since these are occupied by tricycles and motorcycles disregarding the signage "Tricycles and Motorcycles NO PARKING."
There was a police outpost but only trisikad drivers were there. There was anarchy at the bus stop.
Inside the market, we could hardly move with vendors everywhere. I was told there was a market supervisor but I didn't think he was doing his job.
Worse, the market stank with garbage, clogged drainage, urine and whatever came out of the outlet of an eatery's sink.
At the barangay hall of Poblacion East, we passed by a corner with a stinking pond of smelly water full of thrown plastic.
Looking closely, we found out that the drainage came from the market and was supposed to empty into the main drainage.
However, since this drainage was way below from the main drainage, it would take a miracle for waste water to pour into the main drainage.
This stinking mess is just a few meters from the barangay hall and the town's Municipal Health Center.
Yet Moalboal prides itself of being a tourist destination. In fact, majority of the people of the town rely heavily on tourists for their source of income.
Luckily for the group, when we arrived at Panagsama, we found (to our great relief) the place very clean and orderly. (Maybe the municipal officials should swap positions with officials of Brgy. Basdiot).
It seems that government officials of Moalboal are not functioning. But again, blame does not lie alone on them but also on the people who elected them.
Maybe the Provincial Government can lend its hand and assist the officials of Moalboal in straightening out the mess. Being a tourist town, the mess also reflects on the image of the whole province. --writer's name withheld

Can we get these toy deals online or just in the store?
i thought there was a $50 gift card with the xbox+kinect deal?
Looks like the $50 gift card is with another xbox deal:
Xbox 360® 4GB Console with Gears of War 3 Game, Xbox Live® 3-Month Card,
and $50 Walmart.com eGift Card
• Only at Walmart.com. Valid Fri, Nov 25, online times may vary.
if you look at the ad on walmarts site, it has a picture of a walmart gift card on the xbox+kinect
I hope so!
It does say that next to this deal! Awesome!!!
Will the store be open before the 10PM start time? I am hoping to score a bunch of the outdoor toys(scooters, skateboards and such). Should we get there before 10?
Last year they put it out way before time. You just couldn't pay for it until the time it starts. So I would get there early. I think you can go on Wal-mart's Facebook page and print a map out of where everything will be.
Last year, when they were open 24 hours but Black Friday deals started at Midnight, we got there at 10:00pm, hoping to do the same thing. Little did we know that many of the Black Friday in-ad items were wrapped in exclusive pallets, with different SKUs that would be unwrapped at Midnight. Basically, we wandered around inside for two hours then had to wrestle with everyone else once it struck Midnight.
I have no idea if they have the same game plan for this year.
My shopping buddy and I hit up Wal-Mart when our TRU was lined up 2 hours before opening (plus they did 100 in to start, then one out, one in like a club!) but Wal-Mart kep the pallets wrapped until about 11 and then people starting digging in, so they stopped guarding the pallets, let us fill our carts then not ring up our orders until Midnight. Call your store on Wednesday to ask these things ahead of time, when they open, when you can get the items to fill your cart, etc. Good idea to have a shopping buddy (or many) to divide and conquer. Good luck to everyone!
I was told that my Walmart will not open until 10PM. I do live a smaller community though so it may be different in other areas!
Ours is open all day, the deals just don't start till 10pm. Definitely call and check. I am not brave enough to fight the crowds, lol!!
does anybody know if walmart will price match other black friday ads? i see meijer and target have ipod touch for 195 plus you get a $40 gift card …just wondering if walmart would honor that?
Not a gift card deal. If target had advertised ipod touch for $155, then yes, but they won't match a gift card deal. I think that's why so many stores offer GCs and RRs, ECBs and such. They know walmart won't match it.
You can purchase an iPod today and return it on Friday and they will give you the gift card on Friday. If you save the 10% off Target coupon, you can use it when you repurchase it on Friday . This was cleared through my store manager so I suggest you specifically ask before you try this deal. I have a signed piece of paper!
why would they give us the gift card if we return it on Friday?
FYI not all of Wal-Marts Black Friday deals are "deals". The LGBD640 that they have advertised for $89 is available to buy on Amazon for $84.99 and you can get it shipped free to your door!!!! Think of all the poor suckers that think they're getting a great deal and they're not.
I should clarify that the item I'm talking about above is a LG Blu Ray player.
The HP AMD Dual-Core laptop $248 is only a $40 off of the HP site. HP Offers free shipping as well. Just a heads up. Not a real Black Friday Sale IMO.
I agree that all black Friday deals are not deals….but then again they have alot of great deals like the cotton bath towels,choper,slice waffle maker & so on so IMO it's worth going.
I am hoping to get the 32″ tv for $188 but I don't think I'll have a sitter this year.
Does anyone know what kind of deals Walmart will have on Cyber Monday? Anything comparable to that 32″?
i want a new tv for under 300 dollars you think cyber monday will have good deals as the black friday ones? Ive never done the black friday shopping thing….kinda scares me lol… but i saw best buy has one for 199.99 and here in walmart there is another for 188.88 the differnce is the size i would like the best buy one but… will not wait in line for it so i do not think i have a chance at it….. oh well….
Any advice?
Just purchased the LEGO XXL bucket (1600 pieces) for $30!
We were excited to see Walmart's ad price of $264 for the Ford F-150 PowerWheels (reg. $349) and I was EXTRA excited to see that it was actually only $229 when I came online this morning!!! Went through ShopatHome (7% cashback) so the toy will only be $204!!! WTG, Santa's Helpers!!!
Are Thursday's 6pm Event 1 sale available online as well or only in store?

When Charles Dickens died, his British contemporaries were quick to blame his recent trip to America. Certainly his relationship with the New World was peculiar, writes Matthew Pearl, author of the new novel "The Last Dickens" ...
Special to MORE INTELLIGENT LIFE
Charles Dickens's coffin was lowered into Westminster Abbey in 1870. He was 58. As the world mourned one of its most beloved authors, there were some who blamed his fatal illness on his gruelling reading tour in America a year and a half earlier. In John Forster's influential biography of Dickens, written within years of the funeral, he argued that the American trip pushed Dickens over the edge. Others described the author's cross-country book-peddling as "tragic".
It was perhaps unwise for Dickens to make the long trip. His strength had been fading well before his 1867 departure from Liverpool for Boston. At 55, he was plagued by a lame left foot and weak spells. Still, his peculiar and perhaps insidious relationship with the New World demands closer scrutiny.
In the 19th century publishing battles raged between Britain and the United States. A loophole in American copyright law enabled publishers to reprint British books at will. Until 1891, the intellectual property of non-citizens was up for grabs. Charles Dickens, Alfred Tennyson and other popular British writers lost untold amounts of income as American publishers profited. American writers, too, were commercial losers at home, as a book of poetry by Longfellow or Poe selling for one dollar had to compete with a 25 cent novel by Dickens or Thackeray.
It was an intellectual-property war every bit as fierce as today's DVD black market in China. American publishers would send their agents to roam the wharves in New York, Philadelphia and Boston to intercept popular manuscripts coming in by ship. Across the Atlantic, English customs officials would search passenger ships coming from the States and confiscate pirated British books as contraband.
Dickens found himself in an awkward spot, torn between his financial interests and his fame. Though he did not earn royalties from his American sales, the inexpensive prices helped circulate his books and serials more widely, increasing his popularity.
When Dickens travelled to America for the first time in 1841, he crowed in a subsequent letter that "there never was a king or Emperor upon the Earth, so cheered, and followed by crowds." He relished this adulation, which exceeded what he enjoyed back home. He also felt a natural kinship with America's ideals of equality, democracy and liberalism. His own rags-to-riches story was embraced by the country's public and press.
Still, he used his first visit to deliver speeches calling for an international copyright. Dickens expected right-thinking Americans to join him in the fight. But the country was going through an economic crunch, making even high-minded demands for more money unappealing. His tub-thumping especially irked American newspapers, which relied on free British content to fill their pages. Editors stoked public antipathy, spinning Dickens's proposal as unseemly, a greedy demand for more profit. They claimed he was a mercenary, a "hired agent" of British interests. In the New York Evening Tattler, Walt Whitman ran a harsh letter about America forged to look like it had come from Dickens himself (headline: "Boz's Opinions of Us").
Upon returning home, Dickens published a critical book about his travels. "American Notes" was a dry account of divergent aspects of American life, but harsh on slavery and outraged by the "abject state" of the press. One New York newspaper published extracts of the book to sour local fans. About the book, the New World newspaper warned readers: "It will ruin Mr Dickens's personal popularity altogether with us."
Dickens soon began a new novel, "Martin Chuzzlewit". He used this story to have his revenge on American papers, which had already begun running the serial without compensating him. Irked by the American response to "Notes", Dickens began toying with the unfurling plot of this family melodrama. In this story about a young lad who tries to make his way in the world, the titular boy seeks his fortune in America. The ensuing misadventures lambaste American manners and customs, as well as the very press that was (legally) pirating these chapters. The battle with America had just managed to shape a Dickens novel.
"Martin Chuzzlewit" sold rather poorly for a Dickens novel in England, perhaps owing to its use as a grudge platform. Though Dickens ceased advocating for a change in copyright law, he refused to negotiate with American publishers for advance sheets of his novels. (Given the lack of copyright, the value of publishing a British book in America was in printing it first. British authors would grudgingly accept small fees to provide advance sheets.)
Time was not kind to Dickens's family life. After a tumultuous series of private mediations, his wife Catherine was banished from their Rochester estate. There would be no divorce--this would have jeopardised his reputation as a writer of household harmony--but she lived separately in London on a monthly stipend. Meanwhile, their adult children were an enormous financial drain. Of his six surviving sons in the mid-1860s, all required his support.
Such filial messiness and financial strain pulled Dickens back towards the adulation of America. "Expenses are so enormous," Dickens told his sister-in-law Georgina, "that I begin to feel myself drawn towards America, as Darnay in the 'Tale of Two Cities' was attracted to the Loadstone Rock, Paris." Enough time had elapsed from his first visit that American readers were again hungry for his work. Many of the weekly newspapers that reprinted British novels had since gone out of business.
By the 1860s, Dickens had perfected readings of his books that had British audiences lining up for tickets. Theatrical managers promised Dickens huge profits from an American tour, inspiring him to return. He was exuberantly received. Dickens made so much money—£38,000 from 76 readings—that his manager carried cash around in paper bags. The experience moved him to add a postscript to "American Notes" and "Martin Chuzzlewit" in 1868, brushing aside old differences in favour of his "love and thankfulness" for America. By the time he died a year and a half later, more than 20% of his estate's assets had come from this American tour.
Dickens understood that there would be no international copyright in his lifetime. In 1867 he announced that Fields, Osgood & Co, a Boston publisher sponsoring his tour, would be his authorised American publisher for his forthcoming novel, "The Mystery of Edwin Drood". Though this could not prevent pirated editions, he made a moral plea to readers to purchase the official version.
Dubbed the Dickens Controversy, this unprecedented arrangement sparked fierce debate among American publishers, who were caught off-guard by an author's ability to sway public opinion. Some of the most notorious pirating firms felt forced to re-evaluate their positions on copyright.
"The Mystery of Edwin Drood" was Dickens's last novel. He died before completing it. It also marked the first step in a new phase of cultural balance between Britain and the States. His tour of America did not so much kill him as add a new dimension to his immortality. As Henry Ward Beecher said in his eulogy, "To die upon the field of battle, and in the hour of victory, has always been esteemed a crowning good fortune."

This holiday season there's one food item that will be ready to be sliced on every Italian table.
The Classic Panettone
It's Italy's version of sweet bread that has traveled the world for its' richness. However, these days the art of making one from scratch has been thrown out with leading companies mass producing them months in advance. Luckily, in the middle of so much change…there's one Roman pastry chef that refuses to sacrifice quality for quantity or taste. For more than 40 years, Alfredo Buffalo…better known as "Billy" has been making Panettones with love, time and patience. His recipe includes a little bit of this, a little bit of that, but a whole lot of heart. Here's how…

Oil Spill Cleanup Continues in Brooklyn Waterway
About 130 private recreational boats are in need of serious cleaning, following the spill of about 1,100 gallons of oil mixed with liquid concrete into a waterway in southeast Brooklyn.
The spill occurred late last Thursday or early Friday morning, and workers are now using an oil boom to contain the sludge and vacuum trucks to remove it in Paerdegat Basin, a channel that connects to the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.
"The bottom of the boats have been sitting with this oil residue," said commodore Russell Warren of the Midget Squadron Yacht Club, which has 70 vessels. "It would be hazardous to wildlife, it would be hazardous even to our members."
A spokesman for the U.S. Coast Guard, which is coordinating the response, said the likely cause of the pollution is a rupture in a National Grid oil pipeline, which fed into a storm drain.
The Coast Guard confirmed that the sludge tested positive for PCB's or polychlorinated biphenyls, a class of chemical that is highly toxic to humans and animals.
However, boats are being allowed out to leave and return to the basin, after being inspected and passing through lines of boom.
Cleanup could take several more days. National Grid has hired Miller Environmental Group a contractor on site, and is expected to pay the cost of cleanup.
Paerdegat Basin is a narrow waterway, about a mile long, fringed with marsh grasses and boat marinas. The basin drains into Jamaica Bay, and takes water from storm drains when it rains.
The Coast Guard says there is no evidence that any of the sludge escaped into Jamaica Bay, which is an important marine and avian habitat.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- First there was Gray Thursday, then Black Friday and now it's Small Business Saturday.
American Express came up with Small Business Saturday in 2010. This year, the company is offering $25 back to credit card users who shop at a participating retailers.
"I was out Black Friday yesterday and I figured I needed to put some money back into the local economy today," said Stephanie Johnston of Traverse City.
While small businesses everywhere used Saturday to kick off their holiday seasons, 22 business owners turned Celebration! Cinema South into a one-stop shop.
"I really feel like it's getting it out there for people to see, seeing what the quality is all about," said Nikki Breuker, who sells purses and bags.
That's the issue Breuker and the others face; not all of them have the brick and mortar to back their business up. Their issue is getting their products into the public eye during a crucial revenue cycle.
Tarona Guy brought them all together for the second year at the large movie theater lobby, where an estimated 4,000 people were expected to visit Saturday. Guy sells jewelry, and is on pace to double her revenue from last year to $800.
A spokesman for the National Federation of Independent Businesses says small companies account for more than than 90 percent of all businesses in Michigan, and more than half of the jobs in our state.

No doubt they do fantastic work, but when it costs $250 to adopt a dog from the SPCA, I think their priorities need to be re- examined. Last time I was there, the receptionist was telling someone that they were full and pretty much stayed full. Then I saw the costs for adopting an animal posted on the wall and thought... Well, no wonder!! I wouldn't adopt from here either.

Has anyone bought anything that you'd like to fit into when you get to target?
I bit the bullet a week ago and bought a trousers, 2 sizes smaller than I am now but they've arrived in the post and even though they're a mile off fitting me I still like taking them out and looking and thinking when, not if!) Just a little motivation for me, an extra little kick!
So, Ladies, and Gents, have you your eye on anything that you've wanted for ages? Or have you bought it already?! x

A light rain has started to fall here at Imtech Arena, but that is not stopping the fans from screaming and moshing to their favorite songs! Since Ride, we had Unforgiven, Creep, LOS, Sad, Fade, and now Lady Justice is tipping her scales. One is next!
