Clothes for Kids Promotional video
If you haven't seen this, take a look. The longer I have been involved with the organization, the more passionate I become about the services we provide. We are incredibility fortunate to have such wonderful volunteers and staff at Clothes for Kids that have kept the organization running since 1984.

Osso buco
Osso buco is the new word of the day. Apparently, it's some kind of veal dish. From this photo it looks like it's some kind of stew or something.
Doing a little bit of research, it can be made with tomatoes or without. If I was making it, i would go with the tomatoes. Just my two cents.
Black Friday's Coming - Are You Excited?
As a professional bargain shopper, I appreciate a good deal as much as anyone does. In previous years, I've done the Black Friday thing in Lynnwood, waking up way too early the day after Thanksgiving in hunt of some various electronics I don't really need (ok, REALLY don't need) just because it's a "deal".
Since I've been scouring the online deals this past 9 months or so, I'm not as interested in going out this year.
The release of the ads early is all the talk of the web. Target's Black Friday ad is a much coveted one, as is Wal-Mart's ad. It appears Wal-Mart has some pretty good deals, a laptop for under $200 and a GPS for under $60. These companies take such security measures to protect their ad content, but unfortunately for them, it only takes one leak in the system somewhere along the way.
I remember at a newspaper I previously worked at hearing some of Wal-Mart's requirements to carry their preprint inserts in your publications. You have to keep the Wal-Mart inserts locked up so that they cannot be accessed by anyone other than the designated handler of them. They even send someone out to your prepress area to make sure that you are complying with this request.
But these are such large companies with such huge reaches that it is nearly impossible to prevent the leaking of these ads. Imagine if a small local business had an upcoming sale and the public was dying to see the ad! (Sorry, a little bit of advertising humor).

Great deal on coins
Here's a funny deal: you can currently buy $1 coins of the various presidents (1-7 available right now, however some are sold out) at face value. A bonus? FREE shipping! There's some pretty funny comments about people using credit cards with points, miles, etc, to buy the coins for face value and then, of course, spend them or deposit them in the bank.
Currently, you only have Jefferson, Madison, and Jackson available for purchase. Of those three, I would have to go with James Madison, who is definitely the most interesting of the three to me. After all, he was the shortest president of all 44.

Michael Jackson - Black or White (Live)
My favorite MJ song, always will be. I think I was in 6th grade when this came out.
Thoughts on losing The King of Pop
Ok, I haven't really wrote anything of meaning (unless you count snapping silly pictures around the Pacific Northwest), but I can't pass up this opportunity.
The death of Michael Jackson, although not entirely unexpected, is still shocking. It is unfortunate that so many talented singers and musicians have met an early demise. The list is too long to name, although it always does invoke in my mind a past-their-prime Bill Medley & Bobby Hatfield (better known as the Righteous Brothers), all decked out in their baby-blue, rhinestone jumpsuits, belting out those corny lyrics to "Rock 'n' Roll Heaven".
As the events surrounding Michael Jackson unfolded this afternoon, I couldn't help but keep seeing the similarities between them and August 16, 1977.
OK, you may realize that August 16, 1977 was over 2 years before I was born. But it does happen to be the day that Elvis Presley died, my all-time favorite singer of all time. And, much like Mr. Jackson, a pretty weird guy.
I should point out that Elvis, though he definitely had his moments, was probably not anywhere near as bizarre as Michael Jackson. But there were many similarities, here are just a few:
-"The King" (Elvis) and "The King of Pop"
-Both widely recognized as the leading singer of their era
-Both had well-documented problems dealing with the pressures of their fame
-Elvis had Graceland; MJ had Neverland
-Lisa Marie Presley (!)
Now the similarities of the day of their deaths:
-Both were rushed to the hospital, which was not far from their homes.
-Cardiac arrest was (infamously) the cause of death given for Elvis Presley.
-Michael Jackson suffered "cardiac arrest" today before being taken to the hospital.
-The media frenzy was similar: fans flooding the areas near their homes and hospitals.
-Elvis Presley was set to start a tour August 17, 1977 - the day after his death.
-Michael Jackson was set to start his extended series of concerts in London July 13, 2009. This would be his first live performance since 2002, and his first regular concerts since 1997.
-Although both fairly young (Elvis was 42 and Michael 50), they were both known to be in poor health for their ages prior to their death. However, neither showed any immediate signs of distress in the days leading up to their deaths.
-Thoes close to Jackson later in the day talked about his increasing use (and abuse) of prescription medications. Elvis' struggles with prescription medication are well-documented, and turned out to be the real cause of his death. As the autopsy has yet to be performed, we will see whether this is another close connection between the two musical icons.
The music world has lost a true talent today, as it did August 16, 1977. Two very troubled souls who both gave the world so much, yet in both cases, one can't help but wonder, "What if?"

Flea Market Montgomery - Long Version
This is a great ad campaign. Now I'm going to spend the next hour trying to get this out of my head.
