5 Things to Start Your Black Friday: Nov. 23

November 23, 2012 By Leave a Comment

    1. BLACK FRIDAY [and extended] SHOPPING FORECAST:

    Friday: Partly sunny. Milder. Highs in mid/upper 50s.

    Saturday: Mainly cloudy with a few rain showers — it may end as a few wet snow showers in the Worcester hills. Highs in the upper 40s early then temps crash into the upper 30s by night.

    Sunday: Cold and windy. Clouds and sun. Maybe a flurry well NW? Upper 30s to near 40 for highs.

    2. BLACK FRIDAY HISTORY: The term “Black Friday” was coined in the 1960s to mark the kickoff to the Christmas shopping season. “Black” refers to stores moving from the “red” to the “black,” back when accounting records were kept by hand, and red ink indicated a loss, and black a profit. Ever since the start of the modern Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1924, the Friday after Thanksgiving has been known as the unofficial start to a bustling holiday shopping season.

    3. BLACK FRIDAY MYTHS:

    • Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year. False. Actually, Black Friday does not usually crack the “top 5″ shopping days — normally topping the list for hot shopping days is the Saturday before Christmas.

    4. BLACK

Two people were shot outside a Walmart in Tallahassee, Fla., on Friday, police confirmed to WCTV.

The victims were a man and a woman, according to witnesses. Neither have suffered life-threatening injuries, say police.

The scene was described to the Tallahassee Democrat as such:

Kollet Probst said she had finished much of her holiday shopping when she returned to the Walmart on Apalachee Parkway to make a return.

She said she was waiting in the customer service department when a crowd of people came running into the store from the parking lot. Shots started going off, and customers ducked for cover.

“Everybody started trying to find a place to hide,” she said.

While police have not yet commented on the cause of the incident, witnesses at the scene told WCTV that “two couples were arguing and one of the men stared firing,” before fleeing the scene in his car.

The suspect is still reportedly on the loose.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra returns to rock Christmas shows

November 22, 2012 By Leave a Comment

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra is back on the road doing its holiday concerts this fall — with a stop Saturday in at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, N.H.

It’s no surprise that the group is back, considering the tour has been a major success each year ever since the combination rock band/orchestra took its Christmas show on the road in 1999.

But this year’s concert will be a decidedly new experience for fans. After years of making the 1996 album “Christmas Eve and Other Stories” the centerpiece of the show, TSO founder, leader and composer Paul O’Neill knew it was time for a change — not just for freshness, but because of the story he had to tell.

“We decided this year to switch to ‘The Last Christmas Eve’ (the third album in the Trans-Siberian Orchestra trilogy of holiday CDs) because I thought it would resonate better,” said O’Neill. “When I wrote it in 2004, I didn’t know how well it would fit after the crash of 2008.”

The main character in “The Lost Christmas Eve” is a billionaire banker, who 40 years earlier, had abandoned his infant son because the boy wasn’t born healthy. Rich but miserable, he bumps into a small

Redhook reaches settlement in brewery worker’s death [Foster’s Daily Democrat …

Nov. 21–PORTSMOUTH — Federal workplace safety officials have agreed to lower the combined $63,500 in fines against Redhook Ale Brewery in Portsmouth after reaching a settlement with the owner regarding a fatal keg explosion in April.

Ben Harris, a 26-year-old brewery worker, was killed when a plastic keg he was cleaning with pressurized air exploded, striking him in the head and chest.

OSHA concluded the brewery was at fault in the death because its equipment for emptying kegs was operating at a pressure that exceeded the maximum threshold recommended by the manufacturer of the plastic keg.

Redhook’s parent company, Craft Brew Alliance (CBA), has taken responsibility for failing to install a device that would have regulated the pressure inside the machine.

After a six-month investigation, OSHA issued numerous citations to the brewery last month. CBA initially faced thousands of dollars in fines in connection with the accident and other workplace safety issues noted during subsequent inspections of Redhook’s brewery at Pease
