It will be a short but eventful and crucial week for markets as retailers' biggest time of the year kicks into a higher gear as Black Friday awaits.
Several big names are due to report their quarterly earnings this week, as well.
Finally, key economic data--third-quarter gross domestic product and housing stats--are on tap, too.
Markets will be closed Thanksgiving Day, and will close early Friday.
Several big retailers aren't waiting for the day after Thanksgiving to kick off this year's holiday shopping season. Instead, more are opening their doors on Thanksgiving, in a bid to stretch the shorter-than-usual sales window between then and Christmas. Chains such as Best Buy Co. Inc. (BBY), Macy's Inc. (M) and Toys 'R' Us Inc. will be open on the holiday.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT), which will start to offer its Black Friday promotions on 6 p.m. Thanksgiving night, has already started matching its competitors' holiday deals
Barnes and Noble, H-P Lead Earnings Pack
Barnes & Noble Inc. (BKS), which has launched an aggressive marketing campaign for the holiday season, is among several big names scheduled to report results Tuesday. Analysts expect the beleaguered bookseller to post a loss of four cents a share for its fiscal second quarter.
Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ) is expected to report Tuesday, as well. Chief Executive Meg Whitman is trying to turn around the company as it struggles with declining demand for PCs. Analysts are predicting earnings of $1 a share for H-P's fiscal fourth quarter.
Hormel Foods Corp. (HRL), whose margins have been squeezed recently by higher commodity costs, is expected to post earnings for its fiscal fourth quarter Tuesday morning. Wall Street expects earnings of 54 cents a share.
Other key names expected to report earnings Tuesday: Guess Inc. (GES), Tiffany & Co. (TIF), Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc. (CBRL) and asset manager Eaton Vance Corp. (EV).
Housing Data, U.S. GDP, Consumer Sentiment
Data for pending home sales and in October are scheduled for Monday. Observers will be looking to see if pending home sales, considered a more timely measure of the market because the figure measures when contracts are signed, can bounce back from an unexpected drop in September. Consensus estimates have the sales up 1.1%,
The second take on third-quarter U.S. gross domestic product is expected Tuesday. Initially, the government said the economy grew at a 2.8% annual rate in the quarter, due to a larger-than-expected gain in certain inventories in September.
The consumer confidence reading for November is also expected on Tuesday, giving markets a read on the U.S. consumer's mindset heading into the biggest shopping season of the year.

Winnipeg, Manitoba (NHN)-Rene Hunter will be joining the University of Manitoba Bisons next season.
Hunter, 20, just finished up his junior eligibility after spening the last four seasons toiling for the Brandon Wheat Kings.
The 6'1, 208 pound product of Manitoba's Ebb and Flow First Nation fired four goals and added 30 assists in his final Western Hockey League season.
He's expected at training camp when it opens in early September at the U of M campus.
Ted Nolan signs contract extension with Sabres
Photo by Darcy Finley
Buffalo, NY (NHN)-Ted Nolan has had the word 'interim' removed from his job title after the Buffalo Sabres signed him to a contract extesnion Monday.
Nolan, 55, returned to the Sabres in November after Head Coach Ron Rolston was fired after winning only four of his first twenty contests, the worst start in Buffalo's franchise history.
Sabres GM Tim Murray said he was impressed with Nolan's work through a tough situation.
"I don't know if there was one 'Eureka moment," he said. "But I certainly got to the point where I knew I wanted him back, and I wanted him to be our Head Coach."
Nolan has long had a reputation for getting the most out of his players, leading Latvia to a respectful quarter final finish against the powerhouse Canadian team, losing 2-1 at the Sochi Olympic games.
"I'm really excited about going with the next step forward and helping shape this team into a cery competitive team," said Nolan.
Saskatoon, SK (NHN)-Lefko Koper scored twice to lead the Univeristy of Alberta Golden Bears to a 3-1 win over the U of Saskatchewan Huskies on Sunday in the Canadian Univeristy Men's hockey championship.
Derek Hulak replied for the Huskies.
It was the first championship for U of A since 2008 and their 14th Univeristy Cup championship overall.
The win lifted their record to 6-0 over Saskatchewan this season.
"I'm not going to lie, on the winning goal I kind of closed my eyes and hoped it goes in," said Koper. "It's an amazing feeling. There are no words to describe how we feel right now."
Koper, who returned to the Bears after a tryout with the Winnipeg Jets two years ago, added an insurance marker late in the game.
"It's hard to win a national championship," said Saskatchewan coach Dave Adolph following the game. "Our guys gave it everything htey had. They fought hteir way to creditbility and proved they belonged in this tournament. Today they just ran into a powerhouse."
Saskatchewan was eliminated in the CanWest playoffs and drew in as host team of the tournament, which featured the best teams in Canadian University hockey.
NOTES-The tournament attendance was 41,089 set a new record for the event, brekaing a mark also held by Saskatchewan set in 2000.
Dwight King's game has progressed this year for the Los Angeles Kings
Photo by Getty Images-Los Angeles Kings
Winnipeg, Manitoba (NHN)-Dwight King has stepped up for the Los Angeles Kings this season in a big way after a so-so start to the season.
Kings Head Coach Darryl Sutter said in October that King would have to step it up as his NHL experience in playoff games was as much as his regular season totals.
He did just that, earning himself a promotion from a fourth line grinder to a winger with the King's top players and his stats reflect that, having fired 12 goals and 13 assists so far this season.
"It's been good obviously he trusts me and rewards players," said King of his coach Darryl Sutter. "And not just myself either. I got the opportunity to play with Kopi (Kopitar) for a good chunk of the year and even Mike (Richards) and with Jarrett (Stoll)." Read more...
Kyle Chipchura understands his role and has found stability in NHL
Photo by Ryan Jeanes
Winnipeg, Manitoba (NHN)-Having the ability to adjust will keep you earning an NHL paycheque.
Having the willingness to do the dirtywork on a nightly basis under limited ice time night after night won't earn you top dollar in the NHL either but it will earn you and NHL paycheque.
Such is the case of NHL journeyman Kyle Chipchura. He's never been a top line guy in any organization he's been in.
In fact, Chipchura hasn't established a permanent residence there but he has moved from the hotel and now rents a house there.
When he first got to Phoenix, he stayed in a hotel while he was there and home cooked meals were hard to come by.
He's now on a three-year contract, a first in his NHL career.
His deals prior to that were one year or two years and two way. (NHL salary and AHL salary if sent down.)
A former Montreal first round pick, Chipchura came to realize he wasn't going to be a scorer at the NHL level.
Therein lies the key.
After all most players who are in pro hockey were scorers at one point in their hockey lives.
As one scout told Native Hockey News, "Most guys aren't willing to concede that. But the ones that do give themselves an opportunity to make the big leagues if they are willing to do the gritty things," he said.
"I had to stick with it," said Chipchura. "I think being responsible defensively and playing a gritty style are what matters. You have to regroup sometimes."
His coach, Dave Tippett says his value to the team is one of being a depth player. "He's a good role player. He's a player who can adapt to situations and can anchor our fourth line with good energy."
"You can put him anywhere," he added.
"The commitment level to stay here is high," said Chipchura. "It's a long season and there is a grind to it. It's (NHL) is a dream come true but it's tough."

Lots of lamentable older voters lose heart and vote Libertarian.
When we leave the two major parties for some alternative where you can breathe freely; you squander the air as well as your vote.
My counsel is to get in there and play the game. It's the only one in town.
Considering Rick Santorum's sudden departure from the race, it's time to quit dancing around and bluntly state what the problem is for the man likely to become the Republican nominee for president.
Republicans and others who consider themselves part of the "conservative wing" of the party, with some exceptions, stiff-armed Romney early on based on the belief that he was not one of them and could be defeated. But now, as the nomination looks increasingly his, the Romney camp is stiff-arming that same wing of the party. The question is, can money alone buy one the presidency?
There is true irony...

|Scientific classification
|Subviral agents
Viroids are plant pathogens that consist of a short stretch (a few hundred nucleobases) of highly complementary, circular, single-stranded RNA.[1] Viroid genomes are extremely small in size, ranging from 246 to 467 nucleotides (nt), and consisting of fewer than 10,000 atoms.[2] In comparison, the genome of the smallest known viruses capable of causing an infection by themselves are around 2,000 nucleobases in size. The human pathogen hepatitis D virus is similar to viroids.[3]
Viroids were discovered and named by Theodor Otto Diener, a plant pathologist at the Agricultural Research Service in Maryland, in 1971.[4][5][6]
Viroid RNA does not code for any protein.[7] Their replication mechanism uses RNA polymerase II, a host cell enzyme normally associated with synthesis of messenger RNA from DNA, which instead catalyzes "rolling circle" synthesis of new RNA using the viroid's RNA as template. Some viroids are ribozymes, having catalytic properties which allow self-cleavage and ligation of unit-size genomes from larger replication intermediates.[8]
The first viroid to be identified was Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd). Some 33 species have been identified.
- Family Pospiviroidae
- Genus Pospiviroid; type species: Potato spindle tuber viroid ; 356-361 nt [9]
- Genus Pospiviroid; type species: Citrus exocortis ; 368-467 nt [9]
- Genus Hostuviroid; type species: Hop stunt viroid
- Genus Cocadviroid; type species: Coconut cadang-cadang viroid 246-247 nt[9]
- Genus Apscaviroid; type species: Apple scar skin viroid
- Genus Coleviroid; type species: Coleus blumei viroid 1
- Family Avsunviroidae
- Genus Avsunviroid; type species: Avocado sunblotch viroid ; 246-251 nt [9]
- Genus Pelamoviroid; type species: Peach latent mosaic viroid
- Genus Elaviroid; type species: Eggplant latent viroid
Viroids and RNA silencing[edit]
There has long been confusion over how viroids are able to induce symptoms in plants without encoding any protein products within their sequences. Evidence now suggests that RNA silencing is involved in the process. First, changes to the viroid genome can dramatically alter its virulence.[10] This reflects the fact that any siRNAs produced would have less complementary base pairing with target messenger RNA. Secondly, siRNAs corresponding to sequences from viroid genomes have been isolated from infected plants.[11] Finally, transgenic expression of the noninfectious hpRNA of potato spindle tuber viroid develops all the corresponding viroid like symptoms.[12]
This evidence indicates that when viroids replicate via a double stranded intermediate RNA, they are targeted by a dicer enzyme and cleaved into siRNAs that are then loaded onto the RNA-induced silencing complex. The viroid siRNAs actually contain sequences capable of complementary base pairing with the plant's own messenger RNAs and induction of degradation or inhibition of translation is what causes the classic viroid symptoms.

1 All enzymes have an optimum functioning temperature. In humans this is at around 40degC, hence our body temperature is maintained at 37degC. There is a small buffer, because above a certain temperature the enzyme is destroyed in a process called denaturation.
Below this optimum temperature, the cooler the environment in which the enzyme is trying to work, the slower it works. So for instance if enzyme A is used to break down starch and you put a set amount of the enzyme into a set concentration of a starch solution at a given temperature at 30degC you can measure the amount of starch broken down into glucose. If I exactly repeat the experiment at 20degC then I can measure the amount of starch produced and see it will be less.
The relationship between the two amounts is called Q10 and for most mammals the relationship is that for every 10degC increase in the temperature of the environment, we can see that double the amount of work has been done by the enzyme. In biology, this would be expressed as Q10 = 2. The 2 means that 2 times as much work has been done (i.e. 2 times as much starch has been broken down).
2 Temperature affects enzyme activity because enzymes are made of proteins and as the temperature raises, the protein's molecular structure will be more and more unstable until it denatures and breaks apart. The pH works essentially the same where the enzyme will denature if it is in too acidic or too basic of an environment. Cofactors are molecules that will fit into the active site of an enzyme and active/deactivate. Enzyme inhibitors are little molecules that will fit into an enzyme and prevent the cofactor from reaching it and activating it.
3 At a low temperature the enzyme activity is dependent on it. In other words, it is less than optimal. If you slowly raise the temperature, the enzyme activity will increase. At room temperature the activity will be optimal. If you increase the temperature further by 10...

I called my editor and volunteered to be furloughed. One day a week, but two if they really needed to save money.
Lots of other people are getting furloughed because the federal government has either run out of money or it's wasting it on congressmen.
I figured it would eventually happen to me. Why not save my employer money that could be spent on real journalists?
Note: Also, I wanted the time off to drive to Texas with Sonny and settle a bet on whether it's possible to shoot a tomato juice can filled with drywall patch clear through a pig.
Unfortunately, my wife had already called and begged my boss not to furlough me. According to her, there are people still alive for no other reason than because I have a job.
That's a lie, of course, but you'll never convince anyone who has ever been in charge of seeing to it that I spend my time constructively.
Maybe that's why I've been furloughed from every job I ever had except this one. Furlough wasn't the technical term in these cases but it amounted to the same thing.
In elementary school a furlough was called "being sent to the principal's office." The first time was in the third grade when I drew a detailed picture of either a badly shaved baboon or Mrs. Miller stark naked.
Granted I wasn't getting paid to attend school, but I still had to stay after and learn fractions to make up for the time I spent talking to the principal and then a therapist.
In high school, furlough was called detention. You had to do the necessary homework, only first you had to make up the time sitting on a chair in a holding pen. It was like having your free time cut.
The Army called a furlough an "Article 15." They'll give you one for bringing live ammunition back to the barracks, or for returning from a three-day pass in a state known as "Where are your pants?"
Later, on my LDS mission, I was furloughed for three days in the mission home after Elder Barkus kicked my dog and I flushed his favorite tie down the john. It was three days off with no blessings.
Turns out it's even possible to get furloughed from a marriage. I was furloughed for two weeks straight the first year I was married.
My wife says it's because we ran out of money after I accidently shot a window out of her car, but the truth is she just temporarily ran out of affection because of it.
In police work, a furlough is called being "suspended without pay." I was furloughed here several times, the most egregious of which was writing "void" on some idiot's LDS temple recommend when he handed it to me during a traffic stop.
Here's the thing: All of those furloughs were my fault. I did something (a lot of things, actually) for which I was punished by having my pay, time, or blessings docked. In short, I had it coming.
But the people getting furloughed now — government employees — are having their pay cut because somebody else did something wrong. And not me this time. Congress and the president.
Because the two sides can't agree on a budget, people who've done nothing wrong except work for a living are the ones being docked.
It took me a long time to understand that time off can be very instructional. You just have to do it to the right people for the right reason.
I'll bet we could solve this current budget stalemate if we furloughed the people actually responsible for it.

What is a homemade Cake Truffle?
Cake Truffles are delicious bite-sized, portion-control pieces of moist cake blended with frostings, curds, puddings, and fresh fruit hand-crafted and then hand-dipped into delectable, mouthwatering Ghirardelli chocolates.
What is a Cake Truffle Pop?
Cake Pops are delicious bite-sized pieces of moist cake on a pop stick.
Where is Sweet Synergy – The Cake Truffle Company located?
We are based out of Raleigh, NC. All cakes are baked from a home kitchen which has been inspected and approved by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Food and Drug Protection Division.
What is your order turnaround time?
We have a 48 business hour turn-around time for all orders under 50 cake truffles. This does not include the weekends (i.e., if you order Friday your order will be available Tuesday, unless arrangements have been made via telephone with a Sweet Synergy representative). For orders over 50, please contact us at 919-295-2809 or email@example.com before placing order.
What size are Cake and /or Pop Truffles?
Our cake truffles and cake truffle pops are about 1.0 to 1.5 oz. in size. They are a perfect size for those two to three delicious bites of perfection.
How long can I store Cake & Pop Truffles?
Our Truffles can be stored airtight up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator and up to 3 months in an airtight container in the freezer. However, because of the chocolate coating, our truffles have a much longer shelf life than a regular cupcake.
How & where can I store my Cake &/or Pop Truffles?
It's important to refrigerate your cake truffles so they stay fresh. We preferably suggest storing the cake truffles in an air tight container in the refrigerator. Be sure to thaw to room temperature before serving. Although some do prefer to eat them at room temperature, we recommend refrigeration if you will be going more than a day before serving. Our Truffles are best served slightly chilled. Cake truffles have a shelf life of a few days at room temperature and can last more than two weeks when refrigerated.
Do we deliver these homemade Cake &/or Pop Truffles?
Yes, we are proud to deliver our truffles. We deliver to Wake and Johnston Counties within 30 miles for $15. Durham, Chapel Hill and surrounding counties will be at a rate of $25. Any traveling outside of these areas and outside of the 30 mile radius will be based on mileage. Mileage rates will be given at the time the orders or placed in contracts for your reference.
*Deliveries and pickups are available after 5 pm Monday – Friday, unless other arrangements have been made. *
Do we ship?
Sweet Synergy does not ship at this time.
What do I need to know about allergens?
Cake truffles are processed in a facility that uses wheat, eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, coconut, and soy. We try our best to make sure nuts (tree nuts, peanuts) are not used when preparing truffles that do not require them. Cake truffles may be exposed to other known allergens as well.
How do I pay for my order?
We accept Visa, American Express, Discover and MasterCard via Square or PayPal (email@example.com). You may also pay via the Intuit Payment link located on your invoice. We also accept cash and checks. Please make checks payable to Sweet Synergy LLC. All returned checks will incur a fee of $25. Charges will be added to your invoice and mailed or emailed to you directly. All future orders must be paid with cash or certified check.
When is payment due?
Payment is due in full within 24 hours of the invoice being sent. If you have signed a contract, 50% of the payment will be due at the time of the consultation or the signing of the contract The remaining balance will be due depending upon the date of the event(s).
Do you charge taxes?
North Carolina has a sales and use tax, which applies to all out-of-state purchases of tangible personal property that would be subject to the sales tax if purchased in North Carolina. The tax rate is 6.75%.
When are we open?
Our hours of operation (Eastern Standard Time) are:

Hospital needs more volunteers
WOODSTOCK -- Shenandoah Memorial Hospital is in need of volunteers to perform various tasks throughout the day.
Volunteer coordinator Lee Jette said the hospital has 198 volunteers, but only 132 of them are active. People can work in six different spots -- the front desk, gift shop, emergency room, outpatient area, diagnostic services or Mountain View Orthopedics -- from 8 a.m. to noon, 12-4 p.m. or 4-8 p.m., he said.
"All they need is a good attitude," Jette said.
There is no age limit, but volunteers must be at least 18. Jette said the average age for a volunteer now is about 75 years old.

Day 259: Super Best Friends Forever
Pop Culture Reference: Supergirl, Wonder Girl, Bat Girl
Where I got it: Hot Topic
When I got it: 2012
A story: I wish I had something profound to say about being a girl in a geek world and how sometimes that's hard, but how great it is to see female superheroes being awesome and funny together. However, I really just want to scream "you face defeat at the hands of the seh-buffs!" like Wonder Girl. Too bad they only made a few of the shorts, I thought they were quite clever.
Day 258: Pink Floyd
Pop Culture Reference: Pink Floyd
Where I got it: Target
When I got it: 2013
A story: I surprised my BFF this weekend for her birthday. We did a murder mystery dinner boat cruise last night with a group of her friends. Our theme was a CD release party for a rock and roll legend, and the company putting it on encourages dress up. My other friend helped me add cuts to this Pink Floyd shirt (side note: Target has really stepped up their line of graphic tees). I also did feather earrings, some green hair extensions, aviators, and a motorcycle jacket. I would have gone bigger, but we came from another activity so it needed to be easily changed into. Anyway, today is BFF's actual birthday, so happy day!
Day 256: Dodgers
Pop Culture Reference: None
Where I got it: "With a Z" got it at Target
When I got it: 2013
A story: I have playoff tickets tonight with my family (and they'd BETTER WIN). It's my first playoff game EVER and I'm pretty excited. However, I pulled out my Brooklyn Dodgers jersey last night and there's a giant stain on it. Luckily "With a Z," my friend who is slightly homeless and lives on my floor, was at Target picking up a new air mattress (she's been through three since July 2012) and found me this awesome replacement. If you're at the game tonight say hi - I'm sure I'll be the only one in a Dodger t-shirt.

Rush Claims the left wants to destroy Christmas, Ignores the Fact That Most US Liberals Celebrate It
Here's the audio from Media Matters of Rush Talking about the Left's "War On Christmas" which I can prove beyond reasonable doubt does not exist.
Okay, Than Mr. Limbaugh why do so many people On the American Left Celebrate Christmas? These don't look like people who "hate Christmas"
President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Celebrated it.
Christmas First Families: Clinton 1995 via whitehouse.gov
See that big Christmas tree in front of the capital building only a few years ago?
Senators argued over Christmas and no it wasn't over whether or not we should celebrate it, but whether or not they should stay to get more important work done. Via politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com
Wow looks like Obama and his family really "hate" Christmas. Why aren't other liberals complaining if they really want to destroy the holiday, eh Rush?
The first family with children dressed as elves, who are or were patients at Children's National Medical Center. via nydailynews.com

Also why do we hear about things like this
Monroe County Democrats Christmas Party
McCracken County Democrats Annual Christmas Dinner
Happy Holidays From the Democrats. No matter What Holiday You Celebrate and that includes Christmas
The Senate Democrats have also set up a "Capital Christmas Tree Webcam"
CAPITOL CHRISTMAS TREE WEBCAM via democrats.senate.gov
Hardly sounds like the left has an anti Christmas agenda does it?
The entire idea of a war on Christmas in fact is a joke
Of course many leftwing non Christians Americans don't celebrate Christmas, but that hardly constitutes a war on Christmas by the left or even those leftists that don't celebrate the holiday. You'd then have to also ignore the small number of conservative Americans who also don't celebrate Christmas. Rush and the "War On Christmas" nonsense have been debunked yet again, as if it hadn't been already. I could have even done a much better job if I wanted to really take my time with this.
Fox News "War on Christmas" Fail: School DOES NOT Ban Christmas Trees, the Colors Red & Green
More: School Bans Christmas Trees, the Colors Red & Green
This is a few days old, but still a big *facepalm*
The old urban legend about a school banning red and green is back, this time directed at an elementary school in Texas.
An elementary school in Frisco, Texas is believed to be the first in the state to violate "The Merry Christmas Law" after they banned Christmas trees and the colors red & green from an upcoming "winter" party.
Except, no they didn't. From the same article, just five paragraphs down:
The school district released a statement to myfoxdfw.com noting:
"The school was unaware of this and it was not an official PTA correspondence either. There have never been any limitations on what students wear, what they bring to share with their classmates on party days … what greetings people exchange with each other."
But hey, why let a little thing like reality get in the way.
Here's the schools offical statement from their website: friscoisd.org
Churches in Bellevue Saying No to Nativity Scene Procession
'Tis the season to war upon Christmas. In Bellevue, Kentucky, however, the war isn't church vs state or even Christians vs everyone else.
It's church in-fighting on display.
BELLEVUE, Ky. —A decades-old holiday tradition is at the center of controversy.
Churches in Bellevue are saying no to the nativity scene procession.
The pastor organizing the annual event is having trouble getting other congregations on board this year.
He believes part of the issue is that his church accepts gay members.
With the star of Bethlehem shining bright on Fairfield Avenue, Bellevue's nativity scene has a new home in front of St. John United Church of Christ.
Mayor Ed Riehl explains that after 42 years in a community park, the display had to move off of city-owned property
But the other churches in Bellevue aren't pleased about the change.
"We welcome everyone, including gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people, and he felt so strongly about this that he said to me, we don't feel like you follow the teachings of Christ," Rev. Keith Haithcock said.
Haithcock said that as an openly gay pastor, it hurts that another Bellevue congregation will not participate in the procession because of his beliefs.
Out of the five churches in Bellevue, St. John is the only one participating in the procession.

McDonald's Website Tells Its Workers to Eat Smaller Meals, Sell Xmas Gifts on Ebay
It's almost that magical time of year, where Americans engage in vertical food distribution, cheer the Cowboys getting in the end zone, and trample over one another in their quest to celebrate the birth of the flat screen TV. It's also a time where mega corporations are supposed to be somewhat less a-holes. Well, maybe not if you're McDonald's. McDonald's, in partnership with Visa, runs a financial planning website with a very Hallmark-y message for its low paid employees: eat smaller meals and sell those annoying Christmas gifts on Ebay.
Just when you thought McDonald's learned its lesson after previously urging its employees to seek food stamps, the purveyor brightly colored crap that's bound to not make your colon "not love it" appears to have simply tweaked its message. The McDonald's website cares so much about your well-being, it doesn't want you to waste your time eating a full meal. After all, who has time for that in these stressful times.
But what should we do about the upcoming holidays, ever-so wise McDonald's website?
McDonald's pays you enough to invest in a lovely one room dog house, so they certainly know how you can manage debt. Just in case you were thinking of either buying or receiving presents this year for Christmas, don't. You work for McDonald's; you should he happy enough. With that in mind, the McDonald's website wants you to stop your complaining and sell your stuff on Ebay.

The American Family Association's Naughty or Nice List and the Vapidity of the 'War on Christmas'
More: The American Family Association's Naughty or Nice List and the Vapidity of the 'War on Christmas'
The American Family Association's annual Naughty Or Nice list of companies is out. And as always, the annual renewal of War on Christmas panic is an opportunity to revisit how quick conservative organizations are to sell out their own purported values when the opportunity arises for them to get some publicity by doing so.
First, the measure of whether a company is pro-Christmas is hilariously divorced from any theoretical Christian values or expression of the Christmas spirit, and determined solely by marketing. "BLUE: An AFA '5-Star' rated company that promotes and celebrates Christmas on an exceptional basis," the list's key explains. "GREEN: Company uses the term "Christmas" on a regular basis, we consider that company Christmas-friendly. YELLOW: Company refers to Christmas infrequently, or in a single advertising medium, but not in others. RED: Company may use "Christmas" sparingly in a single or unique product description, but as a company, does not recognize it."
The only stated value, in other words, is how much retailers talk about Christmas. By this metric, a porn company, or one that kills Bengladeshi child laborers it's stolen from their families as part of its production process, could issue a statement declaring its belief that Christmas is the most important holiday of the year, slap the term "Christmas" on all of its products, and earn at least a Green rating (though in the former case, the AFA would certainly step in to intervene). The AFA is ostensibly a Christian organization, but the way it determines what counts as naughty or nice rewards effectively companies for how intensely they commercialize the birth of Christ.
That potential for hypocrisy gets even clearer when we look at the list of "Companies For 'Christmas'" in detail. Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Kmart, Macy's, Kohl's, J.C. Penney, and Toys R Us all get passing grades from the American Family Association. They're also stores that are opening at 6PM on Thanksgiving Day to jumpstart their Black Friday sales, a grotesque invasion of the commercial spirit into a day that's supposed to be a celebration of America's beginnings, and has historically been a nearly-universally observed holiday that gives families times together. That's not even to mention the ongoing campaigns to win better treatment and wages for Walmart workers, an issue that an Ohio Walmart tacitly acknowledged in holding a food drive to supplement the pantries of its own needy employees.
Then, there are the companies that count as "marginal." They include Uncommon Goods, which donates $1 per purchase through the Better To Give program to charities of consumers choices, including anti-sexual assault organization RAINN and City Harvest, which fights hunger in New York City. The company also tries to limit its catalogue distribution and use sustainable paper for those it does mail as part of forestry conservation efforts, and sells sustainable, recycled, and organic products. Apparently responsible consumerism doesn't count for much in the AFA's book, even though there are growing conversations about Christian imperatives to conserve.
5 Most Absurd, Self-Pitying Gripes of the Christian Right
More: 5 Most Absurd, Self-Pitying Gripes of the Christian Right
To hear activists on the Christian right tell the story, the conservative Christian American—especially the male conservative Christian American—is the most oppressed, victimized person in the country, and perhaps the history of the world. It's all utterly disingenuous, of course: painting themselves as victims creates a cover to actually victimize other people, usually by imposing their fanatical religious views. Here's a rundown of various ways Christian conservatives paint themselves as victims, and who the real victims actually are.
1) The issue: Whether or not states should ban "gay conversion therapy" for minors who cannot, by definition, give their consent.
Who the right claims is being hurt: Christian parents whose supposed "freedom of religion" requires that they be allowed to try to force their kids to be straight. Matt Stave of the Liberty Counsel denounced banning this practice, calling it a "slippery slope of government infringing upon the First Amendment rights of counselors to provide, and patients to receive, counseling consistent with their religious beliefs."
Who is actually being hurt: LGBT youth, whose actual rights to be themselves are being threatened by parents whose poor parenting decisions are tantamount to child abuse. Gay conversion "therapy" isn't therapy in any real sense; actual therapy is about helping people become whole and well, which can only be achieved by gay and queer people by learning to accept their sexuality for what it is. These programs don't actually convert anyone, something that even prominent "ex-gay" organizations finally had to admit. At best, they shove young people into the closet. The American Psychologial Association came out against gay conversion in 2009, and cited its use as a contributing factor to depression and even suicide.
But even if therapists did "convert" young people from gay to straight, that would not justify these programs. Religious freedom is something an individual possesses; if a young person decides to reject her parents' religious teachings on sexuality, that is her right. Gay conversion non-therapy is not just an assault on young people's right to wholeness, it's an assault on their right to determine for themselves what religious beliefs to hold.
2) The issue: The new HHS regulations requiring insurance plans to cover, without a copay, an assorted list of preventive care, including contraception.
3) The issue: Businesses and the government taking an inclusive or even secular approach to the holidays. The right objects to a wide range of inclusive or secular behaviors, from governments sticking to secular expressions of the holidays season (Santa and Christmas trees instead of nativity scenes) and businesses that stick with greetings like "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas."
4) The issue: Schools leading students in prayer, whether it's the teachers or the students offering the officially sanctioned prayer. The Supreme Court bans it all.
5) The issue: Gay marriage.
DOOFUS of the DAY: Columnist Blames Teh Eevil Jooz for the 'War on Christmas'
The Vicious Babushka: DOOFUS of the DAY: Columnist Blames Teh Eevil Jooz for the 'War on Christmas'
BURT PRELUTSKY writes in World Nut Drooly:
I never thought I'd live to see the day that Christmas would become a dirty word. You think it hasn't? Then why is it that people are being prevented from saying it in polite society for fear that it will offend?
Why, after 60 years, is the city of Santa Monica, Calif., no longer allowed to erect its traditional crèche in the palisades overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and why is the governor of Rhode Island insisting on calling the state's Christmas tree a holiday tree?
Schools are being forced to replace 'Christmas vacation' with 'winter break' in their printed schedules. At some major retail chains, the word is verboten, replaced as a matter of policy by the generic Happy Holidays. Carols, even instrumental versions, are verboten in certain locales. All across the country, grammar schools are banning Christmas pageants.
And then he sez:
I am getting the idea that these self-righteous secular Jews won't be happy until they pull off their own version of the Spanish Inquisition, forcing Christians to either deny their faith and convert to agnosticism or suffer the consequences.
You can read the entire screechy diatribe at wnd.com (WARNING: This link goes to a site that is run by delusional stupid crazy people. You may lose brain cells.)
The mind boggles. I thought it was supposed to be Muslims and their "stealth Sharia" who were leading the War Against Christmas! There is so much wrong with this diatribe that I don't even know where to begin. Let's begin with the hysterical claim that wishing somebody "Happy Holidays" is the equivalent of burning somebody to death in an auto-da-fe. Uh, no it's not.
Also, nobody is even being FORCED to say "Happy Holidays." It's just a generic greeting, like "How are you today?" People who say "How are you today?" are not expecting a full run-down of your medical condition.
Now is is possible that some people are concerned that public funds or public space are being designated for religious objects that are not inclusive of many citizens. At the same time, the same "conservatives" who are in such horror of a "War on Christmas" also complain that the White House is spending too much money of holiday decorations during a time of recession and unemployment and OMG a Blackity Black Man is President!
I can look all around and see Christmas symbols everywhere! My favorite TV shows are either pre-empted for Christmas specials, or else have a Christmas episode, but it is very rare to see a TV program that has a Hanukkah episode. Which reminds me, "South Park" has not done a Christmas Special since the infamous "Woodland Critters" episode. I haz a sad!
Mich. Residents Receive Letter Calling Christmas Lights 'Pagan'
Homeowners in Hudsonville, Mich., have been singled out for displaying what an anonymous letter-writer calls "pagan" lights and decorations on their properties.
On Wednesday night, residents of Vintage Drive found a letter attached to their mailboxes suggesting that anyone with Christmas lights or decorations should re-think their beliefs, because Christmas displays honor the "Pagan Sun-God" and do not pertain to the birth of Jesus, according to ABC News affiliate WZZM.
The letters start out on a friendly note, with "Hi Neighbor, you have a nice display of lights." But the self-described "love note" quickly changes tone, explaining how the "pagan tradition" of putting up lights began.
"I laughed because I think it's ridiculous that people would get upset over Christmas lights," said Danette Hoekman, who received the letter.
Besides speaking against holiday lights, the note claimed that the use of mistletoe, wreaths and yule-logs were in no way representative of Christmas.
Those who received the letters said they do not know who wrote them.
"It's a sin to judge other people and to tell people that if they have Christmas lights they are pagans. We're not pagans, we go to church regularly, my kids go to the Christian school," Hoekman said. "I think next year we should put on a huge display!"
Huh? Now Obamas Are Condemned For Celebrating Christmas Too Enthusiastically
Man, this whole War on Christmas is getting confusing.
Right on cue, the right-wing media this month has been waging its annual battle to convince faithful followers that religious-hating liberals are at war with Christmas, and that once again Obama is leading the charge to demean the holiday. The evidence for those charges has always been non-existent, but the allegations, like holiday fruitcakes, keep coming.
More problematic though, is what happens when the First Family opens the White House for the season to thousands of visitors and the residence resembles a Hollywood-like Christmas wonderland?
If you're former Los Angeles Times blogger Andrew Malcolm, you flip the script and denounce the Obamas for celebrating the Christmas season too robustly; for going overboard in a thoughtless manner.
You can't make this up:
The economy may be weak, unemployment strong and the first family soon to vacate the White House for another half-month of vacation in Hawaii. But the Obamas have gone all out in decorating their house this year, including a nearly quarter-ton gingerbread White House.
They have also installed 37 different Christmas trees. Thirty of the trees are live, or were, including one nearly 19-feet tall from Wisconsin. Seven of the three dozen Christmas trees are artificial or homemade including, of course, one from recyclables.
See, forget all those claims about trying to rub out Christmas all together. According to the new fevered spin, the Obamas are actually rubbing people's faces in the Christmas season and flaunting the decorations.

Obon, or just Bon, is a three-day Japanese Buddhist festival held every year between mid-July to mid-August. The exact date of the Obon festival varies depending on your location, but for most of Japan the festival begins on August 15. Obon has been celebrated since the 7th century as way for one to honor their ancestors and the sacrifices they made. It is also believed that during Obon, the spirits of ancestors may return to this world in order to visit their living relatives. In addition to honoring ancestors, Obon has also become a time for people to return to their hometowns and reunite with family. Even though Obon is not a government holiday, many businesses give their employees a week off to celebrate the period. The week of Obon is considered one of Japan's major travel holidays along with Golden Week and New Year. During Obon, people usually hang pictures of deceased relatives, visit their graves, and make food offerings at house altars/temples. Many holiday celebrators also go to carnivals with rides, games, festival foods, and dancing. Bon Odori, is dance style performed during the Obon festival to welcome back the spirits of the dead. On the last day of the festival the Toro Nagashi is performed. This consist of lighting paper lanterns and floating them down river. The lanterns represent the ancestral spirit's return to the world of the dead.
