Second location opening October 1
Jon Alexis knows the type. He's well aware of the geography, and he's proven them wrong time and time again, but he still runs into them all the time – the seafood unbelievers. Those who need to hear the ocean to think their seafood is as fresh as it can be. They are those who believe that no fishmonger in Dallas – who's nearest major bodies of water are the result of dammed rivers – could really have fresh seafood. Yes, Jon Alexis has met them.
"Yeah, and then they order the Colorado lamb at dinner and don't think twice about it. Their strawberries are coming from Brazil or Chile," he observes. "I would argue that the quality of seafood in Dallas is most determined not by the logistical difficulties in getting it here, but by people's attitude that you can't get fresh fish in Dallas."
It's an attitude that Alexis is changing one customer at a time at TJ's Seafood Market at Preston and Forest. Tucked away in the southwest corner of the strip mall, TJ's is housed in a small shop with a couple of refrigerators and one long, refrigerated counter display case where Alexis illustrates his point about getting fresh fish in Dallas. Whole grouper, salmon – even a couple of scorpionfish graced the display recently – all seem to have been freshly pulled out of the water. It's the result of small-batch purchasing designed to get his fish according to quality, not quantity.
"We tend to be about getting 10-15 pounds of fish for the next day. We specialize in bringing the freshest seafood from around the world with the intent of running out of fish every day," he says. "Whereas the grocery store model tends to be more about getting 1000 pounds of fish at a time – that's what really sets us apart."
While buying for quality of selection and an intent to sell it at its very freshest may be the hallmark for TJs, however, it is an intimate knowledge of the product they sell – and a smiling willingness to share that knowledge – that give the shop a welcoming, neighborhood feel. Alexis, whose parents bought TJ's from its original owners in 1989 and then sold it to him in 2009, tells stories of customers who come in with no idea what they'd like to cook for dinner leaving armed with a pound of fresh seafood and a fantastic recipe for it – a recipe often provided by one of the front-of-house staff, all of whom are culinary school graduates. It's an aspect of the seafood market that not only shows customers how to prepare the fish, but also gives them a sense of ease with a product with which they don't always feel familiar.
"We work really hard to invest time, training, and money into our front of house staff – you can walk in with no idea of what you want to eat, or knowing what you want but not knowing the right fish, or just walking in and saying 'I'm looking for a Greek preparation of something' and our staff has the know-how to not only give you the idea, but give you written instructions on how to do it," he says.
"We always laugh that fish is an open-book test. If anybody ever calls TJ's and says, 'Hey, I got this home, now how should I cook it?' My front-of-house staff gets their rear ends kicked. We make it a point to make sure every question gets answered before our customers walk through our door to leave. If they had questions on how to cook it, they should leave with written instructions. When you wrap fish in butcher paper, it's easy to just write, 'Brown in skillet, finish in oven.'"
Alexis and his staff get plenty of opportunities to put those same recipes and techniques to the test, too, as TJ's offers catering, as well. In fact, a recent event with the San Jose Sharks (appropriately) once again helped reinforce the notion that TJ's provides some of the freshest seafood anywhere, regardless of where the nearest coast may be.
"We catered a lunch for the San Jose Sharks hockey team, and they sent us a letter saying that they travel all around Canada and California, and the best salmon and halibut they have ever had was on their flight departing from Dallas, Texas – from us," he recalls with a smile.
And what it's all about, really, is freshness. The recipes are great to go home with, but Alexis asserts that its his responsibility to ensure the recipe is being made with the freshest fish possible.
"Even Julia Child couldn't make an un-fresh fish taste good," he says with a laugh. "You know, the fish business is funny. Nobody walks into the butcher and says, 'Are the steaks fresh?' But everybody walks into the fishmonger and says, 'Is it fresh? When did it come in? Can I smell it?' And that's great, we love that."
It's all part of the process of changing perception, one seafood lover at a time.

Add 1/2 cup chopped green or red peppers to the rice mixture for the last 5 min. of the cooking time.

Very good quick and easy. Next time I will fry the sausage links a little bit they were a bit soggy.
As is, I am giving this recipe as a 4. When I made it, I added red and green peppers as well as zucchini. I also added a little Tabasco because I like my food with some kick.
I really liked the flavor but I feel it could do with more vegetables. Perhaps I will serve it with a salad next time. Very good.

Stewart-Haas Racing Will Run Four Teams in 2014Written by on August 29, 2013
Starting in 2014, Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR), NASCAR Sprint Cup Series title-winning team co-owned by three-time Sprint Cup champ Tony Stewart and Gene Haas–founder of Haas Automation and largest CNC machine tool builder in the western world–will be expanding to four cars.
The 2004 Sprint Cup champion, Kurt Busch, will drive the Haas Automation Chevy SS while Tony Stewart will operate the No. 14 Bass Pro Shops/Mobil 1 Chevrolet. Danica Patrick will pilot the No. 10 GoDaddy Chevy while Kevin Harvick drives the No. 4 Budweiser Chevrolet. It's an intimidating lineup that features four Sprint Cup championships, 36 poles and 93 wins.
"Stewart-Haas Racing has proven itself to be a very competitive race team. Every team wants to win, but the preparation and resources Gene Haas and Tony Stewart and everyone at SHR put into their racecars each and every week is incredible," Busch said. "This is the kind of situation every driver wants to be in, and I'm grateful to Gene Haas and Haas Automation for providing me this opportunity. I didn't think anyone wanted to win as much as me until I met Gene Haas."
"Kurt Busch is a premier talent, one who gives you the opportunity to win races every week and contend for a championship every year," Haas said. "When he became available, we seized the opportunity to make him a part of Stewart-Haas Racing. This is an organization built on winning, and Haas Automation is a company built on performance. Kurt embodies each of those qualities, and it's why we're investing in his abilities."
Busch grabbed his Sprint Cup title in the inaugural Chase for the NASCAR Sprint cup race. He is also the 2003 champion of the International Race of Champions (IROC), a series that put the best against the best within NASCAR, the IZOD IndyCar Series and the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series.
"I've had a tremendous amount of respect for Kurt's talent and determination for as long as he's been racing in the Sprint Cup Series. Kurt is extremely knowledgeable, and his input will make all of Stewart-Haas Racing better," said Stewart, still recovering from a broken right tibia and fibula suffered in a sprint car crash Aug. 5 at Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa.
"When Gene Haas laid out his plans for what he wanted to do in regard to this race team's future, which included bringing Kurt on board in a fourth car, it was impressive. You can't stand still in this business. You have to constantly improve. Gene's investment in this race team ensures the success of Stewart-Haas Racing for many years to come."
Construction has already started at the existing SHR 140,000-square foot facility, which will be used for research and development while also containing a state-of-the-art fitness and training center as well as multipurpose space for any SHR partners.

Australian Market Erases Decline
SYDNEY–Further cuts in Australian interest rates in 2012 look set to be decided mostly by the crisis in Europe, with the Reserve Bank of Australia saying Tuesday the relative health of the local economy argued against cutting rates at its policy meeting on Dec. 6.
The S&P/ASX 200 index erased early declines following the central bank's statement, recently trading down 0.01% at 4,059.90.
"There had been further evidence that a major investment boom was in progress and the overall economy was expanding at a pace broadly in line with trend. Australia's main trading partners were also still recording solid growth," the minutes of the meeting said.
"This did not suggest any strong need to cut interest rates," it added.
Still, it was Europe's escalating debt woes and a diminished inflation threat that sealed the deal on cutting interest rates for a second time in as many months in December. "These (European) risks had, if anything, increased though the timing and magnitude of any effects that might flow from them remained very difficult to predict," the minutes added.
The comments suggest the RBA was reluctant to cut interest rates this month, mindful of a record boom in mining investment, which is only now just starting to drive the economy. The RBA cut its benchmark cash rate to 4.25% in December warning the crisis and economic slowdown in Europe was beginning to show up in Asia.
Australia's mining boom is truly monumental with A$450 billion (more than 30% of gross domestic output) projects now either being developed or in the planning stages. The commodity-rich economy has hitched its fortunes to Asia with more than 70% of its exports going into the region. It grew at an annualized pace of nearly 4.0% in the third quarter, but the expansion was largely due to mining.
The lopsided nature of the economy has seen key employers in the manufacturing and tourism sectors suffer badly by comparison, nudging unemployment higher.
Still, the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said recently it expects Australia to be among the fastest growing developed economies in 2012.
The level of concern over Europe expressed by the RBA and the government has risen sharply over recent months, with Treasurer Wayne Swan warning the economy isn't immune to the crisis. Stress testing of the major banks is ongoing ahead of what many expect will be a hard year for the world economy in 2012 amid the threat of a widening credit freeze in Europe.
Anecdotes from the Christmas sales period has also point to hard times for retailers, faced with consumers still fearful of what may emerge in the world economy, and intent on reducing debt exposures.
The Treasury Department Friday reported nonmining businesses are battling in the face of an elevated Australian dollar, which is still at historically high levels.
Financial markets continue to forecast more interest rates cut by the RBA in 2012, with the first likely in February when the RBA's policy-making board next meets.

Shawn Ryan
Ryan's last project, a high profile "Beverly Hills Cop" pilot that focused on Axel Foley's son Aaron (Brandon T. Jackson), wasn't picked up to series by CBS. But the prolific writer and producer just signed to another three-year overall deal with Sony Pictures TV and has a 1950s Hawaii-set project directed by Justin Lin at Fox and a hacktivist drama called "Freedom" at ABC, meaning he'll have a new series on TV soon. The creator of "The Shield," "The Chicago Code" and "Last Resort" as well as the showrunner of the beloved "Terriers," Ryan's a very savvy and experienced maker of good shows, and on Twitter he answers questions, reacts to praise and roots for the Cubs -- and isn't above a little bribery when it comes to the latter.
Michael Schur: "Parks and Recreation"
After retiring from Twitter in October, Schur announced that his New Year's resolution was "to burn more of my waning lifeforce by tossing thoughts into an angry void, so I'm gonna start tweeting again!" It was happy news -- the co-creator of "Parks and Recreation" (for which he's the showrunner) and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," Schur's a mightily talented comedic voice, though (fair warning) he does devote a lot of his tweeting to sports, and has written about sports on other sites under the pen name Ken Tremendous, which is also his Twitter handle. "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" showrunner Dan Goor, who created the Golden Globe-winning Fox series with Schur, is also on Twitter.
Kurt Sutter: "Sons of Anarchy"
The "Sons of Anarchy" creator brings a lot of attitude to Twitter -- more than some people (this writer included) may want to commit to. But he's also a tireless engager of his FX series' giant fan base, holding online Q&As, retweeting fan photos and generally presenting an online persona to match the wry tough guy stances of the characters on his show. Sutter's got a new series, the period drama "The Bastard Executioner," in the works as a pilot back at FX, so don't expect him to soften his voice anytime soon.
Rob Thomas: "Veronica Mars"
Thomas and star Kristen Bell successfully resurrected their UPN/CW series about a teen detective as a movie with the help of a record-breaking Kickstarter campaign last year that ushered in a new era of bigger ticket celebrity crowdfunding. All of which just goes to show how engaged Thomas is on social media, understanding that it's a way to give fans who were willing to shell out their dollars in support of characters they love a window into the creative process. Thomas, who also created the much praised but little watched Starz comedy "Party Down," has two new projects in development -- a zombie drama series at the CW called "iZombie" and a modern day take on "Les Misérables" at Fox.
Beau Willimon: "House of Cards"
Playwright-turned-screenwriter-turned-showrunner Willimon is poised to launch the second season of "House of Cards" on Netflix next month, but in the meantime he's been able to take some pleasure in the success the series has had, tweeting photos from the Golden Globes, where the political show was nominated in multiple categories, with Robin Wright winning for best actress in a drama series. He's also offered tidbits from behind the scenes, snippets of political commentary (Willimon worked in the past for Hillary Clinton, Bill Bradley and Howard Dean) and even some hand-drawn cartoons in which Francis Underwood offers up his thoughts on D.C.
Also follow-worthy: Kevin Biegel, Carlton Cuse, Frank Darabont, Steven DeKnight, Bill Lawrence, Glen Mazzara, Matt Nix, Julie Plec, Kevin Williamson, John Wirth, Greg Yaitanes.

NTPCs OFS also a sign of impending turnaround
Although media reports say Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) put in a large cheque of R3,000 crore for shares of NTPC at the auction on Thursday, the final subscription number of 1.7 times suggests that, even otherwise, there was enough appetite for the paper. Indeed, the offer for sale (OFS), for 78.32 crore shares, appears to have generated widespread interest with several foreign institutional investors (FII) having put in large bids of between $50 and $100 million each. While it helps that the markets globally are awash with liquidity and that FIIs are currently bullish on Indianet buying so far this year has crossed $6 billion on the back of $24.5 billion in 2012the government deserves credit for having chosen the OFS route to sell the shares and also for pricing the issue reasonably at a floor of R145 per share. Indeed, the OFS routeintroduced by the capital markets regulator to help companies achieve a minimum float of 25%seems to be working well with a host of companies now having raised equity this way. The process is transparent, quickcompleted within market hours in a single dayand allows for efficient price discovery. Moreover, retail investors too should find the auction process simple enough to participate in.
The timing for the NTPC issue couldnt have been better; while its true NTPC is a large and liquid stock, it has underperformed the markets for close to two years and its only now that analysts have turned more optimistic on the future of the power producer. The underperformance was mainly on account of a falling plant availability factor (down 300 basis points between FY10-12) and falling plant load factor (down 580 basis points in the same period). This trend should reverse with discoms expected to be financially better off now that state governments have started hiking electricity tariffsin 2012, for instance, 17 states upped tariffs by anywhere between 2% and 38%. While its true that the hikes may not, in all cases, bridge the revenue gap of the discoms, and that many of them would still remain in financial dire straits, it would nonetheless ease the strain on their cash flows. Moreover, the financial restructuring package will help clean up their balance sheets. The package, of course, is voluntary but several states, including Rajasthan Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, have initiated talks with bankers to recast the outstanding debt. Moreover,

ST. PETERSBURG, FL (WTSP) -- A Republican Florida House candidate says the U.S. Secret Service paid him a visit after he called for President Obama to be hanged.
Joshua Black also tells our Tampa sister station WTSP he's not dropping out of the District 68 race, even though Gov. Rick Scott and other Republicans are calling on him to quit.
Black, however, did resign from a liaison position with the Pinellas County Republican Executive Committee on Tuesday.
Scott took to Twitter Tuesday afternoon and wrote, "Joshua Black's comments on President Barack Obama are outrageous. Floridians expect more from our leaders and he should immediately withdraw his candidacy to represent families of Pinellas County."
Republican Party of Florida Chairman Lenny Curry agreed that Black should drop out of the District 68 race.
Curry tweeted to WTSP Reporter Preston Rudie, "That garbage does not represent the values of the people I know whether R, D or I."
During a one-on-one interview with WTSP, Black explained it's his opinion the president has committed multiple crimes like treason and if tried and convicted the president should be killed.
"I want to see all elected officials face the standard that everyone else face. They should not be able to write a law and have us face it and then not have them face it," Black said.

AIRlift is the latest development in the Yamaha Stadium Series Hardware.
The Yamaha Stadium Series Marching Bell / Xylophone Stand with AIRlift is designed to promote correct playing position on uneven bleachers and in the band room. Two unique technologies, the AIRlift adjustment system and patented Advanced Tripod System (ATS), make this possible. The AIRlift system uses a gas strut to make height adjustment smooth and effortless. ATS technology allows height of one leg to adjust independently of the other two. This means while two legs rest on the stadium floor the third can rest on a bleacher seat. For maximum stability on flat surfaces the Stadium Series Marching Bell / Xylophone Stand with AIRlift tilts back slightly to bring the center of gravity over the stand's base. In addition to these two features, Stadium Series Hardware is made of lightweight aluminum tubes. The aluminum ensures transportation is light and the tubular structure is rugged and durable.
Using this stand means percussionists can easily go from carrier to bleacher to band room without sacrificing playing technique or sound quality. This translates into less wear and tear on the instrument, and less money coming out of the repair budget.

Citing a legal defect, a King County judge ruled Thursday that prosecutors cannot seek the death penalty against the two people accused of killing a family of six on Christmas Eve 2007 in Carnation.
Prosecutors immediately vowed to appeal the decision, which hinged on a finding by Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Ramsdell that prosecutors erred when they considered the strength of their evidence when deciding whether to seek the death penalty against Michele Anderson and her former boyfriend, Joseph McEnroe.
In a 13-page order, Ramsdell wrote that prosecutors should only have weighed if mitigating circumstances existed in guiding their decision to seek the death penalty.
He said that considering the strength of the evidence to prove guilt cannot be applied in deciding to seek the death penalty because that could produce disparate results from case to case and violate equal protection under the law.

McEnroe and Anderson are each charged with six counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of her parents, Wayne Anderson, 60, and his wife, Judith, 61; her brother, Scott, and his wife, Erica, both 32; and the couple's children, Olivia, 5, and Nathan, 3.
Erica Anderson's mother, Pam Mantle, was in court with her family when the judge issued the ruling.
"We were just blindsided," she said Thursday evening. "We're just regrouping."
The King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office issued a statement after the ruling, saying,"We are deeply sympathetic to the families that have waited more than five years for this case to go to trial."
The statement also said of the decision: "We believe it is wrong. We will appeal on behalf of the six lives lost in this crime and because of the potential impact on all aggravated murder cases throughout the state — past, present and future."
In his decision, Ramsdell wrote that if a prosecutor may consider the strength of evidence in deciding to seek the death penalty, then "two identically situated defendants presenting the same compelling mitigation could be treated differently by the same prosecutor."
But that decision "relates solely to the potentially applicable punishment and the State's ability to prove the absence of sufficient mitigating circumstances beyond a reasonable doubt," the judge added.
McEnroe's attorneys, joined by Anderson's defense, argued that prosecutors improperly weighed the evidence of the crime against the mitigation that was presented, but "corrected this error" in other, subsequent potential death-penalty cases, Ramsdell wrote.
During the penalty phase after conviction, jurors are instructed to "have in mind" the crime for which a defendant was convicted, but they are told not to reconsider the strength of the evidence when deciding whether there are mitigating circumstances, he wrote.
"At the penalty phase, guilt has already been found by the jury beyond a reasonable doubt," Ramsdell wrote. "The purpose of the mitigation phase is to determine the moral culpability of the defendant in light of the crime for which he now stands convicted."
Anderson and McEnroe are accused of carrying out the killings during a gathering at her parents' home. Prosecutors contend the defendants, who lived in a trailer on the elder Andersons' wooded Carnation-area property, planned the shootings because Michele Anderson felt slighted by her parents and was upset they wanted her to pay rent.
The crimes also were motivated by concern over leaving behind witnesses, according to the King County Sheriff's Office.
In 2008, Anderson told The Seattle Times in a jailhouse interview that she committed the killings and wanted to die.
Kathryn Ross, who is part of the three-lawyer team representing McEnroe, has repeatedly said he is willing to plead guilty to the murders in exchange for the death penalty being taken off the table.
McEnroe's trial was expected to begin in March, while Anderson's separate trial is pending.
Anderson, if convicted and sentenced to death, would become the first female on Washington's death row.
The county has spent more than $5.1 million to defend the pair and $725,000 more to prosecute them, according to the King County Office of Public Defense and the prosecutor's office. Total cost of McEnroe's defense is at $2.4 million.
Seattle Times staff reporters Mike Carter and Jennifer Sullivan contributed to this story, which also contains information from Times archives.

As if that,s a bad thing. Full size sound at a fraction of the price.
As if that,s a bad thing. Full size sound at a fraction of the price.
meng, i thought we are talking about headphones, not damn speakers!!! Do we REALLY want headphones to sound like speakers??? LoL
Speak for yourself i use some $35 5.1/ 2.1 logitech speakers and i am more than happy with them, spent more on iems than my speakers LMAO.
Yeah but if you get the SZ2K's, you could just put them on your desk and use them as speakers when you like. Multi-purpose baby!
They're headphones WAYNE.
If they can reproduce the sound of real speakers when blasted wayyyyyyyyyyy up, then i am all in. hoho Someone should try it.
"Protein Leather" is powdered eggshell ( or a derivative of that ) blended into their pleather coating for increased durability and wear ( and comfort ). A patented thing I don't know who holds the patent I forget..
Strange yeah but it works.
How come nobody has protested the harming of Jellyfish used in all those Gel Pads....
Only at Head-Fi people complain when we get more for our money.
Bring it on JVC I say. My card,s ready.
lets see how they compare to the orthos...
i wonder how fast jvc is going to be updating their headphones and iems
at this rate, everyone will be buying 3 jvc hp per year!
oh don't get me wrong, i am a cheap bastard just like any other head-fier but i am scared that these might just be overkill since people are impatient and will NOT put in the proper amount of burn-in needed for these CNT gears.
JVC really need to put a label up with the required amount of burn-in in order to achieve their best/ true sound, cuz i had a love and hate, well mostly hate relationship with the FXZ200s for the longest time. But they have finally showed their true colors/ potential after literally like a month of intense burn-in.
I like the look of these, but will also admit I won't be buying them due to the prices I, like SF, am a cheap mofo and look for bargains hehe. Oh, btw what model number are your speakers, sf? I'm on the lookout for a cheap set for my pc.
ya' mon, slickdealers at heart unite!!!
I have the logitech X-540 5.1s and the Z-3s. Got the Z-3s for $20 and the 540s for like $35 boi!!!
Go get the Klipsch ProMedias if they are on sale for like $100, heard lots of great things about them, too bad they are butt ugly.
somone get these currawong approved when they come out
^ it's not lack of faith, we are just cheap mofos like Gee said.
i am sure they sound AMAZING, but you people better get ready to put in at least 500hrs of burn-in before you'll start to ripping on them. ha
^ man i am not sure if i can trust that noob bridie again, he sold off his FXZ200s before they had a chance to shine and he crazy hyped about them. LoL
Not sure if another birdie endorsement would be a good thing tbh.

The New and Improved Vivien Leigh Reid: Diva in Control
by Yvonne Collins
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Reviewed by Taylor Rector for TeensReadToo.com
In this poignant novel about our favorite diva -- now in control -- there is lots of humor and romance.
Her mother is marrying a guy that Vivien would like if it wasn't for his daughters, who are awful to say the least. They are backstabbing, conniving little brats!
Jake (Vivien's mother's fiancé) got her a job on a new show that the critics said needed a female character. That would have been all right if Chaz, the director of Diamond Heights (the show she got fired from for being a diva) wasn't the director! He is, of course, rude to Vivien the whole time, and she knows that he only keeps her there because Jake owns the company producing the show. Being an actress doesn't sound so glamorous anymore, does it?
Not only is the director a jerk but the other male actors treat her horribly because she has never done stunts before. (The show is about people who were transformed into animals and they are trying to take down the mad scientist who made them this way. Totally an action show!)
I really liked this book because it is funny and lighthearted but also has a great plot. I think almost anyone could read this book and get something out of it!
I am such a huge fan of this series. I could not wait to get the latest installment and it did not disappoint. Once again our Vivien seems to get herself tangled up in the weirdest situations - she is back on TV - wearing a beast costume no less. The description of Vivien trying to a)believe that she has to be on national tv in a animal costume and b) Vivien's attempts at "being one" with the costume (tail and all) is hilarious. Vivien also may be finding love in this one or is she? While I really enjoyed the book, I missed the one on one moments that Vivien shared with her mother in the first book. For me, what works best in this series is the connection (sometimes tedious) between mother and daugher. With the twists in this book - Vivien and her mother seem to be heading towards less one on one and more family (by marriage) oriented themes - which I am not sure will work as well. However, the book is hilarious, our Vivien is her true self and this is a great purchase

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312358288, Paperback)
All right, so she blew it! The last time she was in front of the camera, she acted like a total diva and ended up losing the gig. But now the new and improved Vivien Leigh Reid is back in L.A. and determined to make it right. While helping her mother plan for her wedding, Leigh unexpectedly lands a featured role in a new television series, and this time she is going to keep her inner diva in control.
It may not be easy as she hoped, though. The all-male cast of Freak Force, an action-adventure series about superhumanoids, isn't exactly thrilled to have a girl on board. Add that to the demands of her mother, who is quickly turning into Bridezilla, and a wicked soon-to-be stepsister, and Leigh's newfound cool may really be put to the test.

(WUSA) -- The ultimate tool to Black Friday success is knowing where to find the deals, and we don't just mean which stores.
When everyone is looking for the same sale items, knowing where to go in the store is a huge advantage.
That's why 9NEWS NOW has put together maps for some of the major stores with the help of researchers at CheapCheapCheap.com.
Click on the links below to download and print your own maps to take with you.
- Walmart Black Friday Map
- Kmart Black Friday Map
- Sears Black Friday Map
- Target Black Friday Map
And for 6 Amazing Navigation and Black Friday Survival Tips, CLICK HERE.
***These maps are designed to show you what section to look for. Your local store may differ slightly or it may be inverted. Also, once deals sell out, the store may shift things around. Please keep this in mind.***
Why do we only have four maps? Walmart, Kmart, Sears and Target follow a format that applies at almost every store. This stock layout might mean your local store is inverted but the section are the same. At stores like Kohl's the layouts are drastically different from one store to the next.
Here's a few other pieces of information to keep in mind for each map: Walmart has some very "different" product placement this year. To check the specific layout of your local store, visit Walmart.com as sections vary slightly.
For Kmart, we've highlighted where the top deals are located. Sears has an easy layout and a kiosks that will help you order items if they aren't in stock or not available in your size (that applies to NON-DOOR BUSTER items). And Target is very straightforward this year, what you see is what you get. The electronics will be in the electronic section.

I Am Anne Frank (1) - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
Frank brings in the newest patient, who was dropped off at the sanitarium with no identification. He takes Sister Jude to the patient's cell and the nun asks what her name is. She gets no answer and points out that the patient caused a disturbance when someone at the bar where she was made an anti-Semitic joke. The patient says that she broke a bottle and cut them, and Sister Jude asks if she lost someone during the war. When the patient simply whistles, Sister Jude says that they'll start treatment in the morning.
Shelley, strapped to a table, asks Arden if she's going to die. He tells her that she'll probably live forever and gives her an injection.
The patients are working in the bakery when Kit approaches Grace and asks for a cigarette. She notices the bruises on him and realizes that Arden has been interrogating him. Kit remembers Arden interrogating him and shooting him full of x-rays trying to find the alien tracer. He asks Grace if she believes in his story and she says that she does but that it doesn't matter. Kit insists that remembering their stories and asks her to tell him hers, and Grace talks about hers.
Grace is living with her father, stepmother, and stepsister Patsy. She hears something in the middle of the night and goes downstairs, and see the farmhand, Red, killing her father with an axe. Grace runs downstairs, slams the outside door, and then hides in the pantry. The killer runs outside while Grace backs up and sees her stepmother's corpse hacked to pieces behind her.
Grace finishes her story by telling Kit that Patsy accused her of killing her father. Patsy was it with Red, planning to inherit the farm. The police believed Patsy, not Grace, and locked her up. Kit assures Grace that he believes her and she says that she missed the horses the most because of the freedom they gave her. Kit assures her that she'll be free.
Thredson meets with Lana and asks where she went during the movie. She sticks to her story and Thredson assures her that he won't say anything to Sister Jude. He then points out that she reappeared later, just before Sister Jude left.
As Sister Jude sends everyone to their rooms, Lana wonders what they saw and figures that Shelley got out. Kit warns that they can't tell anyone because they'll know they tried to escape.
Thredson tells Lana that she doesn't belong in the sanitarium and that she was right to try and escape. Lana tells him that he's a hypocrite and recites from the psychiatric manuals, saying that it describes her lesbian tendencies as insane. Thredson insists that he sees her as intelligent like himself and that he wants to "cure" her so that he can get her released. She tells the psychiatrist that she's always been a lesbian and that there is no cure, and Thredson warns her that he'll only be there for a week. If she refuses to trust him, it won't end well.
Later, the new patient writes a letter to Kitty, saying that it's like Amsterdam and that the people there are resigned to die. Lana comes over and warns her that if they catch her writing, they'll throw her in solitary. She suggests that the new patient consider her a friend, but when she gets no response she walks away. Arden comes in and the new patient stares at him in shock. She walks over to Arden and says that he was there at Auschwitz. As the guards pull her away, the new patient says that she is Anne Frank and that Arden should remember her because she was there.
The guards take Anne to Sister Jude. She explains that despite the reports of her death, she hid among the bodies and the British rescued her and nursed her back to health. Anne kept to the streets in Germany and met a soldier, Private William Snow of New Jersey. Snow brought Anne to America but was killed in Korea in 1952. Anne wanted to contact her father but realized that he had a new life. Also, Anne realized that people were noticing the Holocaust because of her diary. She realized that she had to stay a martyred 15-year-old to do good. Sister Jude dismisses her story as indecent but Anne insists that Sister Jude is indecent for having a Nazi working there.
Thredson calls in Kit and explains that if he finds him sane then he'll go to the electric chair. He doesn't think he's crazy or evil, and suggests that society drove him to acts of evil. Kit's psyche then created a fantasy of alien abduction to absolve him of his guilt. Thredson doesn't believe that Kit's execution would serve any purpose, and offers to lie if Kit faces the truth of what he's done.
Anne tells Sister Jude that Arden was originally Hans Gruper with the SS. She saw him when the train arrived and thought that he was kind and gentle at first. He saved twin boys and later he brought sweets for the young girl prisoners. Arden offers to save some girls and flipped a coin to choose certain children. The ones that came back were changed, and were sworn to secrecy.
Thredson suggests that Kit felt guilt over marrying a black woman. The pressure eventually found release when Kit killed Donna Burton, the first of Bloody Face's victims. The next murder happened a few months later when Allison Rydell was taken at her home. Alma was the third victim, and Kit said that Billy and his friends were at the garage. Thredson suggests that they followed Kit home and Alma decided not to hide anymore, and Kit killed her. Kit insists that it wasn't him.
Anne insists that Arden is Gruper and shows Sister Jude her concentration camp tattoo.
In the common room, Lana collects her medicine and imagines winning a reward for her story exposing the evils of Briarcliff. In her speech she thanks the other patients, who inspired her with their suffering. Lana takes her pill as she vows to do whatever she has to so that she can get out. She then goes to see Thredson and asks when he can start the therapy.
In the bakery, Kit is pounding the dough when Grace comes in. He wonders if he imagined the whole thing and admits that Thredson is starting to make sense. Grace points out that self-doubt is a sign of sanity, and Kit wonders if he really is a killer. He grabs her by the throat and asks her what she thinks, and she says it doesn't matter and she'll be with him. They kiss and then have sex on the table. As they finish, Frank comes in and sees them together.
Frank takes Kit and Grace to Sister Jude's room and Sister Mary Eunice takes out a crop. Sister Jude says that she's impressed with her change in personality and then asks Kit and Grace if they're trying to make a murder baby. Kit insists that Grace is innocent and Grace tells her to get the beating over with. However, Sister Jude says that a more permanent step is needed and proposes sterilization. As Grace and Kit object, Frank comes in and tells Sister Jude that two detectives are there to question Arden. The nun tells Sister Mary Eunice to secure them until the paperwork goes through, and Sister Mary Eunice tells Frank to take Grace to cell. Once they're alone, Sister Mary Eunice shows Kit Grace's file and says that she's not the innocent girl that Grace claims.
Sister Jude goes to Arden's office and finds Detectives Byers and Connors waiting. Aden doesn't want her there but Sister Jude is glad to be there. The detectives explain that Arden has been accused of roughing up a local prostitute. The prostitute reported seeing obscene material and Nazi memorabilia in Arden's bedroom. Arden insists that he was Briarcliff and the detectives asks Sister Jude if she can confirm his story. Sister Jude is interested in the mention of Nazi memorabilia while Arden storms out. When Sister Jude eagerly asks if they're going to arrest Arden on prostitution charges, they explain that they're homicide detectives. They ask if Kit would have the skill to skin a woman and remove her head.
Thredson gives Lana apomorphine and shows her photos of women in risqué poses until she throws up. He explains that he's conditioning her body to be repulsed by certain triggers and then shows her a slide of Wendy, naked in bed, and explains that he found it at Lana's home. She tells him to administer more of the drug and she throws up looking at her lover. Lana then asks for a few minutes before the next one and Thredson says that it's time to move onto the conversion part of her therapy, and says that she may enjoy it. He brings in a male patient, Daniel, who has volunteered to help Lana. Daniel removes his robe and Thredson has Lana study his physique. She says that she doesn't feel anything and Thredson asks her to touch herself. Lana reluctantly does so and the psychiatrist has her touch Daniel's genitalia. Sobbing, the reporter masturbates and Thredson assures her that she's doing good work... until she throws up. Thredson escorts Daniel out and tells Lana that unfortunately, aversion/conversion therapy won't work with her.
Monsignor Howard meets with Sister Jude, who tells him about the prostitution and the Nazi memorabilia. Howard tells her that her obsession with Arden has to stop and Sister Jude explains that Anne Frank has testified against Arden, identifying him as a Nazi. She insists that she is trying to protect the institute but Howard knows that she's been drinking again and wonders if she is up to the pressures of management. The monsignor tells her to reflect on whether alcohol has compromised her judgment and dismisses her.
As Arden tends to Shelley, Howard calls to tell him that they're onto him and to dispose of any evidence that could incriminate him.
Sister Jude walks in the woods with the Mother Superior. She admits that she has slipped and drank, and the Mother Superior suggests that God has given her a chance to triumph. When the Mother Superior wonders if that's the only reason Sister Jude came to her, Sister Jude says that there is a war criminal among them but Howard refuses to pursue the matter. The Mother Superior offers to put Sister Jude in contact with someone who can help her. When Sister Jude refuses to betray Howard, the Mother Superior says that God has set her upon the path and it's up to Sister Jude to clear it.
Sister Mary Eunice and the guard bring Kit to a cell next to Grace's. Once they're alone, Kit assures Grace that he hasn't been castrated yet. He asks why she lied and that there was no handyman, and demands the truth. Grace explains that her father raped her as a young child. Finally she told her stepmother, who gave her candy to keep quiet. When she had enough, Grace took an axe and killed her stepmother. When she found out that her father sold her horses, Grace killed him as well. That was when she realized what her life was and that there was no turning back. Grace asks if Kit is repulsed by her and he says that he admires her.
In the common room, Lana watches the patients around her. Thredson comes over and apologizes for failing to help her. She thanks him for trying and he gives her the photo of Wendy. When she warns that they won't let her keep it, Thredson promises to take her with him when he goes in seven days.
Kit asks to see Sister Jude and confesses to her about his crimes. As she assures Kit that God knows all, Sister Jude remembers killing the girl. Kit insists that he must have killed Alma because everyone is saying that he did. He mumbles about the creatures in the woods and then asks for forgiveness. Sister Jude assures him that God will forgive all that seek Him and Kit agrees to admit everything if she can help.
Arden drags Anne to his lab and asks what she's been saying about him. She insists that she's been saying the truth but Arden points out that Anne Frank died years ago. Anne asks if he plans to do the same thing to her that he did to the girls at Auschwitz, Arden says that she's about to find out. He turns to lock the door and then discovers that she has a gun. Anne says that she's not the only one who is onto him but doesn't mention that she stole the gun from Connors when she bumped into him. She demands that Arden confess.
Something shuffles behind one of the doors. Distracted, Anne looks at it and Arden rushes at her, but she shoots him in the leg. She demands the key and he finally hands it over. When she unlocks the door, she finds a crippled and hideous scarred Shelly in the room, begging for death.

University officials and Pickens County Emergency Management have developed an effective and expedient method to evacuate the students, faculty and staff should an incident occur that would require campus evacuation.
If you have questions, contact Clemson University Fire/EMS/Emergency Preparedness office at (864) 656-2242.
There are four classifications used to describe a nuclear station emergency. Duke Energy would contact federal, state and local authorities in each of the following situations:
Radiation is a natural part of our environment. It is not new or mysterious. We receive radiation from the sun, from minerals in the earth, the food we eat, and building materials in our houses. Even our bodies give off small amounts of radiation.
Exposure to extremely large amounts of radiation can be harmful, even fatal. However, the amount of radiation given off in the normal operation of a nuclear plant is very small; smaller, in fact, than the amount we would receive on a coast-to-coast airplane trip. Small amounts of radiation are referred to as low-level radiation. Although radiation is invisible, it can be measured. Radiation is measured in units called rems and millirems. A rem is a unit of measure that takes into account the effect that different types of radiation have on the body. A millirem is 1/1000th of a rem. Some familiar sources of low-level radiation are shown below:
|Low-level Radiation Resources
|Measured in
millirems (mr)
|Average annual SC background
|Gastrointestinal tract x-ray
|Chest x-ray
|Nuclear power station-
average per year at site boundary
|less than 1
Consideration will be made to evacuate Clemson University during an ALERT event if conditions at Oconee Nuclear Station are "degrading". This would be considered a precautionary evacuation.
Should an incident occur at Oconee Nuclear Station, the Clemson University Police Department would receive the initial notification from Pickens County Emergency Operations Center.
Clemson University would alert the students, faculty and staff by using various communications systems. These would include Inside Clemson fax, electronic mail, telephone and personal notifications. The University Police and Fire Departments would use vehicle public address systems to alert the outside areas. Additional notification to residence halls and apartments will be done using Housing Staff.
Faculty and staff should follow emergency directions provided for their respective residences unless directed otherwise by the University.
Potassium iodide, also know as KI, is a non-prescription drug similar to iodized table salt. KI may prevent the thyroid gland from absorbing radioactive iodine and is one protective action that might be recommended during a nuclear emergency. KI is available to EPZ residents at no cost through county health departments. It should only be taken at the direction of public health officials. For more information on KI, contact:
|Pickens County Health Department
|SC DHEC web
Once notified of an Unusual Event or an Alert at Oconee Nuclear Station, tune in local AM/FM radio stations or television networks (channels ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC) for additional information.
In the event of an evacuation, all students who can provide their own transportation should leave the campus and return to their home. Remember to take medications and any other essential personal items you may need for the next few days.
Students who cannot go home would report to Littlejohn Coliseum. Clemson Area Transit buses may be available to transport students who live off campus, and need transportation, to the Coliseum. From there, students would be taken to the T. Ed Garrison Arena, which will serve as a staging area. At the arena, students would either be provided transportation home or provided shelter in motels and/or hotels outside the 10-mile emergency planning zone. University Student Affairs Division personnel and a Duke Energy insurance provider would assist students staged at the Garrison Arena.
Clemson University will arrange transportation.
Since an evacuation could last from a few hours to several days, it is important to consider where you might stay and what things you might need.
When you leave the campus, you should take the following items:
In addition, if you are going to a shelter for housing or assistance, you must bring your Clemson University identification card.
Arrangements should be made for pets or other animals.
When you leave, make sure appliances and faucets are turned off and doors and windows are locked.

Cisco invests in a future dominated by video
Cisco Systems, the networking equipment manufacturer has participated in a number of significant investments and deals to support their Visual Networking Index Forecast they made last year. In this forecast they stated that they expect video to account for as much as 90% of all Internet traffic by 2015, with overall traffic worldwide growing to 966 exabytes per year from 3 billion Internet users and 15 billion network-connected devices like smartphones, tablets and pc's.
These investments include British pay-TV software company NDS Group, which they announced in early March that they were acquiring for $5 billion from News Corp. NDS is a globally leading pay-TV middleware and conditional access corporation and this acquisition will enable Cisco to move into higher-margin video platform software and services; though $5 billion is a greatly inflated price to pay, especially considering last December NDS filed for an intended IPO worth just $100 million and are currently subject to serious accusations of hacking and then distributing pirated access to its main competitors in both Australia and Britain.
To support its video technology services Cisco has also acquired companies that will enable them to help service providers ease pressure on their networks. The first of these was newScale in May 2011 and this week they acquired the software division of promising startup ClearAccess for an undisclosed amount. ClearAccess is seen as one of the most promising up-and-coming technology firms around and recently acquired investment of $10million from Oregon Angel Fund. With ClearAccess Cisco is acquiring cloud-based services that will enable its Internet service provider customers to monitor and manage increasing data usage by their users and help resolve issues of rapidly growing Internet traffic, increasing network complexity and a proliferation in the number and types of mobile devices connecting to their networks.
ClearAccess is not the only cloud technology Cisco is interested in and they have also partnered with
telecom operator CTM to launch various services including Cisco CloudVerse, Cloud Infrastructure Service, Cloud Intelligent Network and "Business Talk" Unified Communication Service. With these services Cisco will be able to help organisations to build, manage and connect clouds of all kinds with high loads, increased speeds and greater security without needing multiple hardware upgrades and other maintenance-related expenses.
While Cisco has invested heavily in video technology and cloud computing, they will not have things their own way and will face competition from major rivals like IBM, Polycom and much more affordable competitors like Blue Jeans Network. They have made some concessions by introducing Cisco Callway, a $99-per-month-per-endpoint subscription service but like much of Cisco's products and services its designed to only work with other Cisco products. This embedded policy has long been a source of frustration for Cisco's customers and if Cisco wants to benefit from its investments and succeed in the future, it will need to provide access its technology.

In Minersville, senior citizens, youth share center
MINERSVILLE - The Minersville Youth Center, which opened its doors for students in grades seven through 12 nearly two years ago, now has a new - permanent - location.
Borough police Chief Michael Combs said Friday the youth center moved to the Minersville Area Senior Center, Third and Line streets, on Feb. 8.
"It's a borough property leased to the seniors, who were agreeable to have the kids at night," Combs said.
Combs said he pushed for the creation of the youth center to keep teens out of trouble. It opened in June 2011 in St. Michael the Archangel Roman Catholic Church Hall, 538 Sunbury St., to give young people a place to hang out in the evening hours.
The supervised hangout has been open from 6 to 10 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.
When students arrive, they must sign in so the center can keep track of who is there and when they leave.
Combs said that Diane Pizzo is currently the paid part-time supervisor for the youth center. The borough had originally hired Graeme Sinko, 21, of Minersville, for the spot.
The borough council authorized the creation of the position in June 2011, lasting for 11 weeks at $8 per hour and candidates were required to be at least 21 years old.
The center features pinball machines, arcade games, a pool table, a jukebox, board games and activities such as drawing and crafts
The center also purchased a television, DVD player and Nintendo Wii thanks to a grant from a three-year Strategic Prevention Framework Grant that the county received.
According to newspaper archives, Mandy Fitzpatrick of the Schuylkill County Drug and Alcohol group said it was decided to target North Schuylkill and Minersville Area school districts for the funding with underage drinking preventative programs.
Combs said Friday the borough had been seeking a new location for the youth center since there were often nights when it had to close if the church had to use the space.
The church holds religious education classes in the basement on Tuesdays and also rents out and uses the space for events.
With the youth center now in the senior center, Combs said, that's no longer a problem, because the seniors only use the space twice a week in the mornings.
Combs thanked the Minersville Area Senior Citizens for agreeing to share the space.
"We get about a dozen kids at night," Combs said. "We're happy now that we're in a more permanent location."

We are the Peter Pan of sports markets. Everyone wants to know when we're going to grow up and leave our childhood teams behind.
Well, it's already happening. The seismic shift in Valley allegiances can be heard in Glendale, where the Cardinals have sold out all 55 games they've played, preseason included. The change in behavior can be seen in public gathering places, where red jerseys have become common desert attire.
It can be felt in civic mood entering the 2011 NFL season, as giddy fans are assuming the Cardinals will resume their pursuit of a championship trophy.
At long last, we have become a real NFL city, with real NFL expectations.
"Our fans have really given us a lift," Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said in training camp. "They're a big part in what we've been able to accomplish."
Clearly, the team has responded well to recent adversity, acknowledging the tenuous nature of franchise-fan relations in Arizona. Under the pressure of an abbreviated preseason, the Cardinals found a new quarterback, locked up Larry Fitzgerald and signed a multitude of players to fill craterous holes.
Almost all national observers lauded the Cardinals for their aggressive approach. Most ranked them second in the league among off-season upgrades. On paper, the Cardinals appear competitive once again.
To wit: Kevin Kolb has sparked the imagination. Rookie Patrick Peterson seems destined to spend a lot of time in the end zone. After earning bust status from some in the media (me), Beanie Wells is snorting and primed for redemption (if he can stay on the field).
And then there's the ongoing evolution of Fitzgerald, easily the most popular athlete in Arizona.
The previous time Fitzgerald signed a huge contract, the money motivated him to be better, to create an even higher ceiling the next time around.
With another gigantic deal in his pocket, Fitzgerald, it seems, is burning to find yet another level.
A good guess: He wants to become the first wide receiver in the modern era of football to win the NFL's MVP award, something Jerry Rice and Randy Moss could not accomplish.
Fitzgerald has all the credentials, from great hands to great heart to great image. His ability to shine in big games can lift a good team over the top.
Valley fans hope that will be the story in 2011.
If the Cardinals find their way back to the playoffs, this season will represent a great save by the Bidwill family. Last season, they closed the taps, underfunded their football team and saved for the lockout. They left us with Derek Anderson, Max Hall and a season that wounded Whisenhunt's golden image.
The clipped Cardinals once again were vulnerable in a soft market, entering a year in which Arizona State's football team is making its own dramatic push to relevance.
Yet Michael Bidwill made good on his pledge to spend money. One year after refusing to buy a third quarterback (Marc Bulger), he popped for an extra tight end (Todd Heap).
Maybe the team should've gone further, spending even more money to keep Steve Breaston or secure Lee Evans from the Bills. But the Cardinals did a lot, earning much national respect and resuscitating the energy lost over a 5-11 debacle in 2010.
"We had one drive (in a preseason game against the Chargers) where the ball went from this guy to that guy to this guy, and then we punched it into the end zone," Heap said.
"We all came to the sideline and had a great feeling. If we can clean some things up, we see how good we can be."
It's a tough time for sports teams in Arizona. The economy has not recovered.
One report tabbed the Valley as the eighth most overextended market in the nation, $41 billion short of the personal income necessary to support four major sports teams.
The competition is cutthroat and fierce.
Look at the poor Diamondbacks. They're storming to the playoffs and can't entice customers with $5 tickets.
"It's the NFL. It's the embodiment of team," Fitzgerald said. "People love football."
In Arizona, the story is even bigger.
The numbers reflect the ascent of a woebegone team, and a change that has rocked the marketplace. One day, we may find out the only people to make money during the Great Recession were Wall Street crooks and Bill Bidwill's Cardinals.
That's quite a feat for the team we once loved to hate.

|Schools face 2010-11 term without much assistance from state
By Jan Rahn
Managing Editor
Knowing well ahead of time that a big decline in state aid was coming doesn't necessarily make it easier to deal with.
State aid to schools was announced the first week in March, with both Perkins County Schools and Wallace Public School taking a hit.
Perkins County Schools will receive $194,129 in state aid for the coming school year—a decrease of $590,260 from 2009-2010 school term when the district received almost $785,000 in state aid.
"We have been anticipating this decline in state aid and feel relatively well prepared to weather the storm for the next few years," said Superintendent Tobin Buchanan.
Wallace Public School will receive $18,000 less than they did at the beginning of this school year. In 2009-10 the district received $288,174 compared to $270,083 scheduled for 2010-11.
"Ours doesn't look near as bad as other schools," said Wallace Superintendent Todd Porter. "Some others nearby really got hit hard."
State aid for all Nebraska schools totals $950,221,735 for the upcoming 2010-11 school year.
A big shift has taken place in state aid. Buchanan said the shift has gone from rural schools with increasing valuations (such as Perkins County) to the Learning Community Schools (such as those in the Omaha metro area) and to schools with high poverty rates and large numbers of limited English proficient students.
State aid is based on a complex formula, assessing the needs of a district that includes poverty allowance, class size, transportation, distance education and English proficiency, along with what is called the local effort rate (valuation, taxes) which are the resources of a district.
"Our local effort due to increased valuations is more than our formula needs calculation—this greatly reduces or eliminates equalization aid for our district," said Buchanan.
The stimulus funds are gone, and now the district will have to deal with what Buchanan said is being called the cliff effect, the sudden fall of state aid.
He said the district will now have to decide what to do about scheduled upgrades in building sites and how it will factor into next year's budget.
"We hope to continue to invest in our educational programs and the facilities," said Buchanan.
He added assuredly, "We don't anticipate any major personnel cuts at this time."
Wallace School did not receive any stimulus funding, so the school hasn't had to anticipate the huge drop off, said Porter, even though the school will see a cut in aid for the coming year.
"It's concerning," he said, "but we'll continue to monitor our expenses and funds and will deal with it accordingly."
Comparison of aid to schools
At this end of the state, most schools are seeing a large drop in state aid. In the local area, Hershey will see a jump, as will Hitchcock County and Paxton.
