 NOVEMBER 2012 

Greetings!  

 

Recently I was on a trip with several couples from around the country. There were people from California, Wisconsin, Kansas, Colorado, Virginia, Tennessee and New York. To a person they thought that their local economy and housing in particular was on the upswing. Lets hope this modest recovery continues as more people find jobs and re-enter the housing market.

 

November always reminds me to be thankful for all the people, past and present, that have influenced my life. Please know that as time marches on, the memory of your kindness and support is not forgotten.  The Falcons are 8-0 and the Georgia Bulldogs win the SEC East. Congrats to all the fans!!

 

Have a great month and a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Tiny Landscapes In the Big-Big World

 All Star Art

Taking over a city near you is Slinkachu! This seasoned installation artist has been "abandoning little people on streets since 2006," creating scenes that from a close perspective appear to be full sized scenes, but from a distance Street1turn out to be minuscule sculptures cleverly interacting with the urban environment.

Theater Accidentally Projects 'Paranormal Activity 4' During 'Madagascar 3' Showing

During a scheduled showing of the Ben Stiller and Chris Rock-voiced animation of Madagascar 3, viewers were instead shown the newly released horror film Paranormal Activity 4 at Paranormal ActivityNottingham's Cineworld.  Parents rushed their children from the theater following a shocking opening scene which features a bloody female corpse being thrown at the camera - a throwback from the series' first film.  "They started playing the movie and I thought - this doesn't look right. And then I recognized the opening sequence as a flash back to the first movie, which I saw a couple of years ago," said one mother, who brought her eight-year-old son to the movie. Everybody just scrambled for the exits, all you could hear were children crying and screaming," she continued. "Everyone was upset."  A spokesperson for the theater said that all customers were offered refunds and complimentary tickets for the gaffe. "We have investigated the incident and can confirm that this was a technical error with the projector and apologize sincerely to the families," a statement read. Moviegoers were also invited to a follow-up screening of Madagascar 3 a half hour after the incident.

6 Ways Black Friday is Changing

That annual trip to the shopping mall the day after Thanksgiving is a tradition for many families, marking theofficial start of the holiday season. But in recent years, the rules of Black Friday shopping have changed dramatically, turning this ritual on its head.  Last year 

sales reached $52.4 billion over a 4 day span, that's up
Black Friday
16% from 2010.  Here are 
six ways Black Friday has changed and what it means for shoppers this holiday:  

1.  The 'No Leak Policy' goes out the window as more retailers are now releasing their ads in advance.

2.  Less need to 'camp out' as deals shift to online.

3.  More sales start Thanksgiving Day - retailers opening earlier and earlier.

4. Black Friday isn't the best and only day for bargains - So now shoppers are spreading out their purchases rather than filling their list on day one. 

5.  More chains offer secret last-minute Black Friday deals online.

6.  Price-matching use to be the exception to most retailers' policies, but not anymore. 

 

Also, according to the NRF survey, six in 10 shoppers plan to spend an average of $139.92 on 'self-gifting' this holiday season.

Human 'Ken Doll'

Justin Jedlica's body is pumped with so much silicone that he's being called as plastic as Mattel's No. 1 boy toy Ken.  Jedlica Ken Doll didn't hit the gym to get his sculpted abs, large pecs, or chiseled biceps. Nope, the Human Ken Doll headed for his closest doctor's office to get more than 90 plastic surgeries. Jedlica has had work done on his stomach, chest, buttocks, biceps, triceps, and face over the last 10 years. He's spent more than $100,000 on surgeries, and now, just like Ken, he is made up of mostly plastic. 

Shark Attack

It was not your typical shark attack in Southern CaliforniaShark Attack and  nobody yelled "Fore" at a golf course when a 2-foot-long shark dropped out of the sky and flopped around on the 12th tee.  The 2-pound leopard shark was apparently plucked from the ocean by a large bird of prey and then dropped on San Juan Hills Golf Club in San Juan Capistrano, California.  Leopard Sharks are harmless to humans and have recently become protected in California and Oregon waters.  Apparently some birdy didn't get the memo. 

We are thankful for you!!
