Black Friday's round-the-clock sales apparently were just a warm-up for the homestretch of the holiday season, as several big national retailers will open their doors this weekend and keep them open straight through Christmas Eve.
In an unusually short shopping season and with just five days till Christmas, stores are pulling out all the stops. "It's crunch time," said Jamie Gutfreund, chief strategy officer at The Intelligence Group, a business research firm.
For the first time, Kohl's will stay open 108 hours in the push toward the big day — starting at 6 a.m. Friday, as "an added convenience to shoppers," said spokeswoman Jackie Kacala. And some Macy's stores — though not in Southern California — are logging 107 hours of nonstop sales before closing at 6 p.m. Christmas Eve.
Toys R Us, one company that helped pioneer extended holiday hours, is offering 87 consecutive hours of shopping — Saturday 6 a.m. through 9 p.m. Christmas Eve. The retailer's flagship store in New York's Times Square has been open since 8 a.m. Dec. 1 and will keep things running for 566 hours — the store's longest stretch of uninterrupted shopping.
"It's been an escalating progression," Gutfreund said. "Ten years ago it would have been, 'Oh, my God!' but now it seems to be not such a leap. It's all about the consumer now."
The retail all-nighters actually started on Thanksgiving, when more stores than ever opened to lure customers away from the dinner table — and the attraction of online shopping — and into the malls for sales that used to start on Black Friday. Businesses hope the extended hours will make up for the six days they lost this season: Thanksgiving fell late this year, leaving just 26 days until Christmas and setting up the shortest holiday shopping season since 2002.
Many stores depend on the holidays for up to 40 percent of their annual sales, and chopping almost a week out of the season could cost about $1.5 billion in sales, according to a study by Adobe Digital Index.
"These final days are really important to the retailer," said Vera Gibbons a financial analyst and spokeswoman for Capital One. "This is it. This is make it or break it."
It's not just the marathon hours that will feel like round two of Black Friday — stores will also dangle sales and promotions in front of consumers, many as good as or better than Thanksgiving. Toys R Us is offering 50 percent-off prices and buy-one-get-one deals, and Kohl's is giving cash back on purchases. Target, which is advertising discounts of up to 60 percent, has extended its in-store pickup service for online orders to 2 p.m. Dec. 24.
Experts expect consumers will hit stores at every hour of the day and night until Christmas. While retailers have struggled with the shorter season, so, too, have shoppers struggled to find the time to buy gifts.
"The next (week) will be extremely hectic and busy, and you'll see a huge ramp-up," said Michael Niemira, chief economist and director of research at the International Council of Shopping Centers.
According to a survey by American Express done Dec. 6-8, about 21 percent of consumers hadn't started their holiday shopping, and almost a quarter were only halfway finished.
The longer hours are also a response to growing demand from consumers to buy what, when and where they want, retail experts say. Many consumers, especially millennials, expect the same from brick-and-mortar stores that they get from online shopping, which is at their fingertips 24 hours a day.
"Everything is fluid," Gutfreund said. "If I could have extraordinary at a click of a button, I had better be given extraordinary in the store."
Many of the shoppers expected to be out in the wee hours will be the usual procrastinators, experts say, but round-the-clock hours also give nurses, truck drivers and others who work night shifts some of their first shopping opportunities all season.
"Extended hours are a direct result of customer feedback," said Macy's spokeswoman Megan Pardo. "Our customers asked for more store hours in the day and night to shop, and we listened."
But some analysts warn that hitting stores in the middle of the night when they're tired and overwhelmed with just a few days left before Christmas, is a recipe for overspending.
"If you're shopping at 4 a.m., people just discount it," Gibbons said. "It's like it's not really happening. But it is — and when you get that bill, you'll see it."
And be warned: This is one tradition that's probably here to stay.
"They've opened up Pandora's box. How do you take it away?" Gutfreund said. "People will accept that this is business as usual."

September heralds the fourth sandwich in James Coney Island's tasty Houston Chefs and Show Dog series. Next up is Mockingbird Bistro chef/owner John Sheely's "Bird Dog."
The Bird Dog is a bacon-wrapped Kobe beef hot dog topped with tomato/cornichon relish, microgreens and dijonniase and served in a Slow Dough brioche bun. The Bird Dog is priced at
$6.29 $8.49 and will be available at all James Coney Islands Sept. 1-30.
There's still some time to try the "Matt Barkus" created by Eatsie Boys' Matt Marcus. That signature dog will be on sale through Saturday, Aug. 31.
Still to come in the sixth month promotion: hot dogs designed by Monica Pope of Sparrow and Hugo's Hugo Ortega. Past hot dogs have been the works of Haven's Randy Evans and Manabu Horiuchi (Chef Hori) of Kata Robata.
James Coney Island, which is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, is donating $1,000 to each chef's favorite charity for their participation in the project.

Hey. I remember a story from some guy a while back and I've been trying to pinpoint the exact location he was at. Link to story: http://i.imgur.com/44XnsFo.jpg
After some exploring on Google Maps, I found a dirt road about 30 miles south of Wells like he described. It lead to the northern end of Spruce Mountain.
Description of Ghost Town/Mine Area:
Tree blocking road at entrance, road leads up a hill. Cabin at upper right end of area with well and mine nearby. There's also a big rock.
"It is slightly north of the road of off highway 93 that goes into ruby valley"
Well Ruby Valley is southwest of highway 93 and the "road that goes into ruby valley" is highway 767 which is huge.
And the geographic area which is Ruby Valley is huge. And this place isn't near Wendover at all. Elko county is like 1/6th of the state or something.
So any place 30 miles south of Wells I don't think is right. And Spruce Mountain is way way east of that area.
Care to share a google maps link to the location you believe you've found? That story doesn't seem to add up at all!
And it's basically about how he encountered some FANTASY monster. Fantastical monsters/giant badgers (check out the pic lol) are not real and I don't believe his story is AT. ALL. Not even a little bit.
Also, regarding Ruby Valley...
Claims Summary
in Ruby Valley
- 64,081 Total
- 16,524 Active
- 47,557 Closed
Good bloody luck tracking down and verifying 50k abandoned mines in the desert!
Even if you could teleport directly to each one it would take years.
And on a final note... based on having spent a GREAT number of hours reading about abandoned places in the high desert... his statement that there was a cabin there is probably a lie flat-out. Nobody has mined from cabins since the turn of the last century and nothing from that era is left. Even stone wells built around that time have collapsed in on themselves almost all of them by then. SOME things are still left from the mid 40's or so. SOME VERY VERY FEW THINGS in very cold and try environments in just the right place will be left from the 10's or 20's.
Today you'd be lucky to find the road. Again we're now 20? 30? 40? years after the event the guy describes. Anything he saw then, if it is truly remote and undesirable, is gone now.

Earlier today, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell won't consider a reinstatement request from Saints coach Sean Payton until after the Super Bowl.
Not so fast, the NFL says.
According to league spokesman Greg Aiello, no timetable has been set for considering Payton's request for reinstatement.
So, in theory, it can happen at any time, including after the Super Bowl. Or before it.
The only thing we can say, with at least 95-percent certainty, is that it won't happen during the Super Bowl.

School is out and summer jobs are in. But are they?
Unfortunately, the job market for teens has nearly evaporated in the past decade. Once a time to get work experience and extra cash, teens manned cash registers and mowed lawns during summer break. Today, according to a report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, fewer than three in 10 American teenagers are able to find summer jobs.
But summer jobs are not simply about earning money for gas, concerts or cellphones. Jobs for teens, whether in the summer or year-round, provide our young adults with tremendous opportunities to learn about the working world, prepare for their future careers, and get ahead of their peers who spend their time hanging with friends during summer break.
As business owners, managers and employees, we all have the responsibility to help provide our future workforce with the opportunity to get that experience. Whether it is a summer job, part-time after-school job, internship or job shadow, these experiences can teach our young adults about accountability, respect, time management, a good work ethic, specific areas such as journalism or running a business, and most importantly, responsibility.
At Junior Achievement, our programs help students make informed, intelligent decisions about their futures and foster skills that will be impactful in the working world. Annually, our network of corporate and community volunteers deliver Junior Achievement programs to more than 10,400 students in 662 classrooms in Rhode Island, during the school day and in after-school settings. The comprehensive curriculum, developed in partnership with education experts, reinforces and supplements classroom activities.
We can help connect you with high schools that participate in our workforce readiness programs and are ready for real-life work experiences. We can also help you set up a job shadow or internship program.
Our challenge to businesses – large or small – is to consider summer programs for teens. Join Junior Achievement in our efforts to empower and equip the next generation with the confidence and skills needed to succeed in today's global economy and workforce. Whether it be a fully developed internship summer program, or a two-week job shadow, it's important for us as role models and leaders to take the next step in our investment of the future workforce.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our future generation by helping them get a jumpstart on tomorrow, today. •
Lee Lewis is president of Junior Achievement of Rhode Island.

text: Hi all, I am using kernel 2.6.13 vanilla (latest stable from kernel.org) with 1x Hauppauge Nova CI DVB-S, 1x Avermedia 761 DVB-T and 2x TwinHan Aplha USB DVB-T sticks. The device drivers load fine, all frontends register. As soon as an application (eg. tzap and/or VDR) is started, the machine stops responding. Only a powercycle fixes it. I have logging enabled for the dvb-usb driver but can find no syslog entries for this. This problem also occured with 22.214.171.124 patched with the dvb patch. Note that using only one Twinhan together with the other 2 DVB cards works fine. Note the TwinHan sticks were tried both on one USB and on seperate USB hubs with the same result. I remember someone talking about excessiver power requirements (eg. more than the USB spec) for these USB sticks. Any suggestions ? Regards

Bulk SMS
– Smsmobile24.Com
Bulk SMS marketing has become a popular marketing option for businesses. Bulk SMS sends text messages to many mobile numbers at the same time. This makes it easy to send information to many customers at the same time, which can help build a business without having to spend a lot of time or money on marketing. Here are just a few benefits of using a Bulk SMS Service for your marketing campaign.
1. Convenience
One of the biggest benefits of using a bulk SMS service is that it is super convenient. Within a few seconds, you can send a text message to hundreds of people at the same time. Without bulk SMS, you would have to select all the recipients one at a time, which could take a long time depending on the number of people in your contact list.
2. Reliable
Unlike a phone call or even an e-mail, the recipients have to at least open the text message to remove the notification. This is why more businesses are adding bulk SMS marketing to their overall marketing plans. You can also send links in text messages now, so you can still send sale codes and other important information to your customers.
3. Not Labor-Intensive
There is a huge amount of marketing that you can do with a text message by only using a few words. This means that you do not need to hire a marketing team to create every message that you are sending out because you can complete the work yourself in just a few minutes. However, you may want to have another person working with you to make sure that the message and the links work. This is still less labor-intensive than many other types of marketing.
4. You can Save Your Messages
Once you have the message created, you can save the message to be sent out again in the future. You can also store the replies that the message has, which can provide you with details like who sent the message, when the message was sent and their network provider. This can help your business in the future, so you have a clear idea of whom to send your messages to.
5. Low Cost
A bulk SMS service does not cost a huge amount of money, especially when you compare it to other forms of marketing. Depending on the service provider, you could only have to pay a monthly fee to send out as many text messages that you want. This saves your business money since you can market regularly and there is no need to worry about a huge fee at the end of the month. The lower cost can also make it a great option to expand your marketing plan.
A bulk SMS service makes it very easy to market to a huge amount of people at the same time. For a business, marketing is super important, and text messages are an area that many companies forget about. Most people carry their cell phones on them at all times, so why not take advantage of that?

Does Your Spouse See Jesus in You?
Part of the Does Your Spouse See Jesus in You? Series
Series About:
It's 5:21 in the morning, and the alarm goes off. I roll over and hit the snooze button in hopes of just nine more minutes of sleep before the day begins. At 5:24, my two-year-old quietly – his version of quietly, anyway – enters the room and approaches the bed. I pretend to still be asleep so he'll walk to the other side and crawl in with Anne (Failure #1).
Once in bed, Ian, our youngest son, starts in with his two-year-old version of whispering. I roll over and pull the covers tight to subtly tell Anne and Ian to keep it down (Failure #2). After a few minutes in that position, I realize he's not going to be quiet or lay still – which both of us have asked him to do several times. I groggily slither out of bed and head for the closet to get dressed so I can take Ian downstairs.
When I get downstairs, I pull out some muffins and milk for Ian and then head to the basement to watch whatever is on TV at 5:30 a.m. so I can lie down for a few more minutes. I decide I'll get Anne's coffee in a little bit (Failure #3).
In just seven minutes, I've failed to show my wife love in the same way Jesus loves me! It may seem harsh to beat myself up like this, right? Wrong! If I was really intentional about loving my wife like Jesus loves me, I would have 1) hopped out of bed to try and catch Ian before he woke Anne; 2) taken him into the closet with me while I got dressed, so not to bother his mom; and 3) started the coffee and made Anne a cup so it was waiting when she got up to get in the shower.
Did you see yourself in my situation? If you don't have kids or it's been some time since you were there, you can make up another circumstance. This same mentality, where it's much easier to do the selfish thing, can creep into every part of your day. But, Jesus has set an example for us to follow. And, the first place he wants us to put this into place is in our marriage. The Bible very specifically compares Christ's relationship with the church directly to the relationship between husband and wife. And as we examine the characteristics of Jesus, we discover exactly what we must do so our spouse will see Christ in us.
It's not just about being unselfish. If you really want your spouse to see Jesus in you, you have to genuinely put into practice an attitude of becoming more like Christ in everything you do. This is not a simple, one-time event; it is an everyday struggle. It's not easy to act like Jesus in every situation. In fact, it's notably difficult. We live in a world where it's much easier to do what feels good or take the easy way out. But, becoming more like Jesus involves sacrificial love; it takes a servant's heart; it means forgiving when it's not easy to forgive; and it takes a concerted effort toward humility and self-forgetfulness!
