This and stories like it are why this year there is going to be a mostly "home made" x-mas, this even includes the childeren in the family. People put to high a value on molded colored plastics and we wonder why socitey is the way it is.

I can't say I 'hate' the holidays but, I do hate what they've devolved into.

Update on the strory. It seems she may have been acting in self defense. They are going over video but it seems as though a stampede started for half off xboxes and people were being trampled upon. They say she may have fired the pepper spray to get people to stop trampling her and others. What a friggin scene that must have been!

I chose to sit at home with family and cook my ass off, watch football and get a buzz going. Isn't that what the day is about??

no one makes you do anything. If you value your paycheck more than your free time, go to work. If not, stay home.

we still live in a (somewhat) free country.

Yeah I would rather go homeless instead of working a black friday.

I got the same thing. Same color too. Ridiculous deal!

But uh, $185? Should be $210 after rebates...

I can't confirm, but the way I heard it was the reverse: the woman was trying to get to the Xboxes and shot the pepper spray into the crowd, which started a stampede as everyone else tried to get away from it. However, at this point it doesn't sound like anyone--including the police--is exactly sure how it played out. It's not like the media would immediately jump to the most negative scenario without all the facts, right?

That's what he, and everybody else, heard as well. That was the instant assumption before the woman was even known.

Which is why he prefaced the whole post with "Update on the strory", mmkay?

If you reject the offer to get the magazine subscription you get an additional $24. Read the fine print on the rebate form. One of the few times it actually pays to read the fine print.lol

Oh, awesome! Haven't even looked at the form at all yet.

I was a meat cutter in a grocery store for almost 20 years.

So was my dad. Ever lose a finger? My dad never got a serious cut. When my dad passed away from a hear attack when I was a kid, I remember shaking hands with a lot of his co-workers at he funeral -- lots of missing fingertips.

Didn't think you were much for baking... thought you said biscuits was all

Definitely would use this for pizza dough as well .

I wanted to get a bit more into baking, especially things like breads, but I wanted a unit like this first.

Good memory though!

I have a hard time forgetting things people say, especially song lyrics. Can't remember names to save my life.

If you decide you want to invest in an excellent book, The Bread Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum is the ultimate. It has all the all the recipes by volume/english/metric which for me measuring my ingredients by weight was a big turning point in baking (try weighing a cup of flour, then weigh your next two to illustrate how volume measurements suck), and it takes you from basic yeast bread, to breads made with yeast sponge starters and of course wild yeast starters. Her other 2 books Cake Bible and Pie & Pastry Bible are the only books I use. She is a food scientist, so there is a ton of technical explanation and troubleshooting in the books as well.

Thanks for helping me make my next purchase
