White Vision: Seeing Clothes on a Naked Emperor
This is what trials are for, to determine whether or not the accused is a coldblooded killer; whether it was manslaughter; or whether it was excessive force. The outrage is that there will be no trial at all. People are not protesting a verdict. They're protesting the fact that the officer who killed Michael Brown will not see the inside of a courtroom because the Grand Jury decided not to indict Darrell Wilson. Worse, the Special Prosecutor, Bob McCulloch, acted more like a defense attorney than a prosecutor, discrediting witnesses and putting social media on trial. He also timed his announcement of the decision perfectly to ensure night skies lit up with fires, offering validation to those who believe in the criminality of black youth, and guaranteeing juicy fodder for media outlets, who would rather cover "riots" than the injustice of the decision.
Mind you, it's not riots when white college students set cars on fire after a football victory. It's not a terrifying mob when gun activists waltz into Target with AK-47s. But justifiably outraged youth revolt against what is clearly oppression in the eyes of the world, call in the troops.
Contrary to what some critics say on social media, most of us who are outraged are not taking a monolithic view on all cops. We're taking a fact-based stand against vastly disproportionate cases of police and others (George Zimmerman) killing unarmed black men, due to what can only be chalked up to racial fear, and doing so in large part with impunity. And to the point of Brown's size being 6'3," 292 lbs, Wilson himself is 6'4", 210 lbs, armed. And he shot 12 times, when according to eyewitnesses, Michael Brown had his hands up in the air.
Many police officers are heroes, sworn to protect and serve. And they do just that, every day, often at great personal cost. But there needs to be better training. There need to be fewer guns out there in general, to prevent officers being so afraid. It can't be a shoot-first mentality. There needs to be racial sensitivity training. There need to be more indictments of cops who kill unarmed citizens. There needs to be the option of shooting to wound, not kill, if one must absolutely shoot. And if officers took the Aurora shooter alive, took Gabi Giffords' assailant alive, mass murderers with massive arsenals, why do they have to shoot unarmed black boys dead?
When you're black, which I am not, it must seem monolithic, of course. All too frequently cops pull guns on unarmed black men who have done nothing wrong. Many of my Ivy-League-educated black male friends, including my own husband, can attest to this, after getting pulled over for a minor infraction, like a license-plate light being out or registration out of date. It is fear, plain and simple, that caused Wilson to see the black face in front of him as a "demon." A cultural illness of "otherness" colors our vision as white people and that includes white officers. It must be addressed, so that trigger-happy cops don't ruin the reputation of all cops. And more importantly, so we can build trust between our communities and those sworn to protect and serve them.
Can you imagine how maddening it must be for black people to experience the daily indignities of unacknowledged white supremacy -- from media portrayals or the lack thereof to inequities in the job market and in the schools, right down to being told by your society that white men may shoot you down without any consequences? The fact that black people don't retaliate more -- especially considering their disproportionate contribution to the building of American society and culture -- bespeaks the patience of Job. This is not the version of our country, the country we love, that I want to pass on to my mixed children or your white ones or anyone's children anywhere.
The epidemic of monolithic thinking seems to me to be weighted far more on the side of white Americans, officers and civilians alike, thinking of all black boys as criminal. It motivates white women to clutch their purses when they see young black men walking down the street. It motivates white men to shoot to kill unarmed black boys. It motivates prosecutors not to prosecute. Juries to be selected that are not sufficiently integrated. Grand Juries not to indict. Juries not to convict. Media to report on a few angry looters, rather than on the source of their outrage. And audiences to gobble it all up in a ratings bonanza. White Americans, we need to grow up and let go of the comforting blankie of our longest-held fears. Reported by Huffington Post 1 day ago.

Neal Communities Breaks Sales Record in October
Prolific builder, Neal Communities, charts another record for monthly sales in the Southwest Florida region. Company is on track to surpass last year's annual sales total.
Lakewood Ranch, Florida (PRWEB) November 26, 2014
October marked a new milestone for Neal Communities (http://www.nealcommunities.com), as the prolific southwest Florida home builder notched 723 year to date sales – an increase of 11 from last year’s record breaking month. With 72 new home sales in October, Neal is on track to break all company sales records by the end of 2014.
“We have seen a dramatic uptick in traffic and buyers throughout 2014, coupled with our fastest growing year with several new communities in both divisions,” said Michael Storey, president of Lakewood Ranch-based Neal Communities. “As we continue to expand our team, our community count and our product lineup, we expect this trend to continue over at least the next five years,” said Storey.
Sugar Mill Lakes in Palmetto led in sales last month with nine new home purchases, followed by eight home sales each in Central Park at Lakewood Ranch and Forest Creek in Parrish. Grand Palm, a unique, master-planned community in Venice, Fla., had six sales and both Fairfield in Bradenton and Villa Palmeras in Estero had five sales. New community Estero Place hosted a grand opening over the weekend.
Neal unveiled a new Coastal series at Boca Royale Golf & Country Club in Englewood last month and that series will also soon be available at Grand Palm. New communities opening soon include Woodland Trace and Magnolia Point in Sarasota, and Neal Signature Homes’ Wildgrass in Sarasota.
Neal Communities was named one of 2012's "America's Best Builders" by BUILDER Magazine and voted the “2013 Best Residential Builder in Southwest Florida” in a readers’ poll sponsored by Gulfshore Business Magazine. The company is ranked No.1 locally by Metrostudy and by Hanley Wood Market Intelligence based on number of home sales and ranked No.50 nationally among homebuilders by BUILDER Magazine. To date, Neal has built over 10,000 homes in Southwest Florida. As the area's largest and most established, locally owned and operated private builder, Neal Communities is continually striving for excellence in every aspect of the home building and development business. Neal Signature Homes, Neal Land Ventures, Charlene Neal PureStyle, Waterscapes Pools & Spas and Allegiant Title Professionals all contribute to the firm's continued, record-setting local success. The company's honors and accolades include 42 Parade of Homes 2014 awards, 50 Aurora Awards, 5 Best in American Living Awards and hundreds of local and regional industry awards.

Black Friday From Start To Finish
NEW YORK (AP) — The traditional kick-off to the holiday shopping season has become a two-day affair with stores opening earlier on Thanksgiving. Here's a look at what's happening on Black Friday:
___ Best Buy Site Down
Not the best time for technical issues.
Best Buy's website was down at around 10:00 a.m. Friday with a message that read, "WE'RE SORRY." It noted that the site was currently unavailable and to "Check back soon."
A Best Buy representative wasn't immediately available for comment.
_____
Biggest Shopping Day of the Year?
Since 2005, Black Friday has held the crown for the top sales day of the year, according to ShopperTrak, which tracks data at 70,000 stores globally.
That could change this year. The earlier openings on Thanksgiving are eating into Black Friday sales. As a result, the last Saturday before Christmas may edge out Black Friday as the biggest shopping day of the year.
Still, Bill Martin, co-founder of ShopperTrak, believes Black Friday and the Saturday before Christmas will be a close tie. He estimates both sales days will be in the $9 billion range.
Over at Macy's, CEO Terry Lundgren tells The Associated Press he thinks Black Friday will still be the company's biggest sales day of the year.
____
Ferguson Protests Hit Stores
Dozens of protesters interrupted Missouri shoppers on Thanksgiving to speak out about a grand jury's decision not to indict the white officer who fatally shot Michael Brown, a black teenager.
Demonstrations took place at a Target and multiple Wal-Mart stores in the St. Louis area, according to Johnetta Elzie, who tweeted and posted videos of the protests.
Protesters spent a few minutes shouting inside at each store. After police moved them out of one Wal-Mart, protesters chanted, "no justice, no peace, no racist police" and "no more Black Friday."
There was no immediate word of arrests. More demonstrations are expected Friday.
___
Marathon Shopper
At Westfield Fox Valley mall in Aurora, Illinois, the mood was calm Friday morning. Parking spaces were plentiful and lines in many stores short or non-existent. Some groggy shoppers were still in their pajama pants, coffee in hand.
Kimberly States said it was noticeably quieter at the mall than it had been the night before, when she made her first trip to the mall.
"It was a zoo last night around 10 p.m.," she said. "Now it seems like more of the old folks."
States and her 11-year-old daughter were shopping mostly for clothes. She planned to return later Friday with her 19-year-old son, who will be shopping for a gift for his girlfriend.
She said she thinks people are feeling more confident about the economy, but she still plans to spend about the same amount on Christmas gifts — or maybe less — compared with last year.
___
Some Quiet Time
At around 5:30 a.m. Friday, a Target store in the suburb of Mission, Kansas, was mostly empty.
Bridget McNabb, 55, was disappointed when a worker told her the $119 TV she wanted sold out shortly after the store opened the evening before.
In Manchester, Connecticut, a Wal-Mart store was also quiet around 5:30 a.m. A few security guards stood on the sidewalk outside the front doors. And the nearby Shoppes at Buckland Hills had few customers at around 6:30 a.m.
Shopper Rachel Cormier was looking at clothing for one of her four grandchildren. She said the economy isn't an issue.
"I'm fortunate because my husband and I are both employed," she said.
___
U.K. Gets Black Friday, Shoving Included
Black Friday is becoming a tradition in the United Kingdom, too, and businesses there are finding the shopping derby can lead to chaos.
Early Friday morning, police were called to help maintain security at some supermarkets and shopping outlets that offered deep discounts starting at midnight.
"This created situations where we had to deal with crushing, disorder and disputes between customers," said Peter Fahy, police chief for greater Manchester.
Greater Manchester Police said there were two arrests as police closed some stores to prevent more severe problems. One woman was injured by a falling television set.
Online retailer Amazon is believed to have introduced the concept of Black Friday to the U.K. four years ago, with more businesses joining every year since.
___
Crowd Control
Back in the U.S., businesses are taking steps to keep crowds under control. Such efforts were stepped up after 2008, when a Wal-Mart worker died after a stampede of shoppers.
Best Buy, for instance, has a ticketing and line process to ensure an orderly entrance into its stores. The company also says stores held training sessions to prep for this weekend's rush.
At Target, deals are spread throughout stores and signs direct shoppers to hot items. And the company says every store has a crowd-management captain for inside and outside the store.
That doesn't mean everyone remembers their manners.
Wendy Iscra noted it got a little competitive at Wal-Mart in a Chicago suburb where she where she was shopping on Thanksgiving.
"People were shoving each other in there," the 40-year-old said.
___
A New Tradition, For Workers
Wal-Mart is expected to be the target of another round of protests calling on the company to pay its workers $15 an hour. The union-backed group Our Walmart says demonstrations are planned at 1,600 stores around the country. Organizers say workers started walking off the job on Wednesday and some staged a sit-down strike at a store in Washington, D.C.
Brooke Buchanan, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman, played down the impact of the protests. She said past protests have focused on a handful of locations with a handful of workers.
"Perception is not reality in this case. We've seen this story before," she said.
___
Sales Bang
Black Friday is also one of the biggest days of the year for gun sales.
That puts pressure on the system for background checks. Researchers with the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, which is overseen by the FBI, have until the end of the third business day following an attempted firearm purchase to determine whether a buyer is eligible. After that, buyers have the right to get their guns even if the check wasn't completed.
Last year, the clock ran out more than 186,000 times.
The problem is the records submitted by states, which aren't always updated to reflect restraining orders or other reasons to deny a sale.
NICS did about 58,000 checks on a typical day last year. The figure surged to 145,000 on Black Friday.
___
It May Be Too Late
Those waking early for some Black Friday shopping may have missed the boat.
It turns out the hottest deals of the season may be on Thanksgiving, according to an analysis of sales data and store circulars by two research firms.
This year, Target, Macy's and Kohl's opened at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving.
Others started dishing out deals even earlier. Amazon.com and Best Buy started introducing Black Friday deals last week. On Wednesday, Target also gave early access to some of the specials reserved for the holiday shopping kickoff both in stores and online.
___
Early Bird Special
The National Retail Federation expected 25.6 million shoppers to head to stores on Thanksgiving, which would be slightly down from last year. The numbers aren't in yet, but there were crowds across the country.
Macy's said more than 15,000 people were lined up outside its flagship location in New York City's Herald Square when the doors opened at 6 p.m. Last year, the retailer said there were 15,000 people.
In the Chicago suburb of Naperville, Illinois, the parking lot of a Wal-Mart store was full about a half hour before deals started at 6 p.m., including $199 iPad minis.
And thousands of people were at Citadel Outlets in Los Angeles, which opened at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving for a "Moonlight Madness" all-night sale. Hordes of cars inched past rows of palm trees wrapped in red and white lights.
____
Buyer's Remorse?
When stores first started opening on Thanksgiving a few years ago, the move was met with resistance by those who thought the holiday should remain sacred.
Some Thanksgiving shoppers still felt a tinge of guilt even as they snagged deals on the holiday. "I think it's ridiculous stores open on Thanksgiving," said Reggie Thomas, 44, a director who bought a Sony sound bar for $349, about $100 off, at Best Buy in New York on Thanksgiving.
Cathyliz Lopez, 20, who spent $700 at Target on Thanksgiving, agrees. "It's ruining the spirit of Thanksgiving," she said Thursday. "But ... the best deals were today."
___
A Visit From the Boss at Target
Target CEO Brian Cornell was at a store in New York City's East Harlem neighborhood for its opening at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving.
Cornell, who became chief executive in August, said the kickoff to the season is off to a good start based on early reads around the country.
"The baskets are full," he said as he watched shoppers filling their carts with TVs, clothing and toys. He noted people were buying more than just deals.
Cornell told The Associated Press he feels encouraged by what he has seen at stores and online. The holiday kickoff has changed, he said. "It's been more of a week event," he said.

Anne D'Innocenzio and Mae Anderson in New York; Sara Burnett in Chicago; Dan Sewell in West Chester, Ohio; Heather Hollingsworth in Kansas City, Kansas and Robert Jablon in Los Angeles contributed to this report. Reported by Huffington Post 11 hours ago.
___ Best Buy Site Down
Not the best time for technical issues.
Best Buy's website was down at around 10:00 a.m. Friday with a message that read, "WE'RE SORRY." It noted that the site was currently unavailable and to "Check back soon."
A Best Buy representative wasn't immediately available for comment.

Demonstrations took place at a Target and multiple Wal-Mart stores in the St. Louis area, according to Johnetta Elzie, who tweeted and posted videos of the protests.
Protesters spent a few minutes shouting inside at each store. After police moved them out of one Wal-Mart, protesters chanted, "no justice, no peace, no racist police" and "no more Black Friday."
There was no immediate word of arrests. More demonstrations are expected Friday.

Marathon Shopper
At Westfield Fox Valley mall in Aurora, Illinois, the mood was calm Friday morning. Parking spaces were plentiful and lines in many stores short or non-existent. Some groggy shoppers were still in their pajama pants, coffee in hand.
Kimberly States said it was noticeably quieter at the mall than it had been the night before, when she made her first trip to the mall.
"It was a zoo last night around 10 p.m.," she said. "Now it seems like more of the old folks."
States and her 11-year-old daughter were shopping mostly for clothes. She planned to return later Friday with her 19-year-old son, who will be shopping for a gift for his girlfriend.
She said she thinks people are feeling more confident about the economy, but she still plans to spend about the same amount on Christmas gifts — or maybe less — compared with last year.
___
Some Quiet Time
At around 5:30 a.m. Friday, a Target store in the suburb of Mission, Kansas, was mostly empty.
Bridget McNabb, 55, was disappointed when a worker told her the $119 TV she wanted sold out shortly after the store opened the evening before.
In Manchester, Connecticut, a Wal-Mart store was also quiet around 5:30 a.m. A few security guards stood on the sidewalk outside the front doors. And the nearby Shoppes at Buckland Hills had few customers at around 6:30 a.m.
Shopper Rachel Cormier was looking at clothing for one of her four grandchildren. She said the economy isn't an issue.
"I'm fortunate because my husband and I are both employed," she said.

U.K. Gets Black Friday, Shoving Included
Black Friday is becoming a tradition in the United Kingdom, too, and businesses there are finding the shopping derby can lead to chaos.
Early Friday morning, police were called to help maintain security at some supermarkets and shopping outlets that offered deep discounts starting at midnight.
"This created situations where we had to deal with crushing, disorder and disputes between customers," said Peter Fahy, police chief for greater Manchester.
Greater Manchester Police said there were two arrests as police closed some stores to prevent more severe problems. One woman was injured by a falling television set.
Online retailer Amazon is believed to have introduced the concept of Black Friday to the U.K. four years ago, with more businesses joining every year since.
___
Crowd Control
Back in the U.S., businesses are taking steps to keep crowds under control. Such efforts were stepped up after 2008, when a Wal-Mart worker died after a stampede of shoppers.
Best Buy, for instance, has a ticketing and line process to ensure an orderly entrance into its stores. The company also says stores held training sessions to prep for this weekend's rush.
At Target, deals are spread throughout stores and signs direct shoppers to hot items. And the company says every store has a crowd-management captain for inside and outside the store.
That doesn't mean everyone remembers their manners.
Wendy Iscra noted it got a little competitive at Wal-Mart in a Chicago suburb where she where she was shopping on Thanksgiving.
"People were shoving each other in there," the 40-year-old said.
___
A New Tradition, For Workers
Wal-Mart is expected to be the target of another round of protests calling on the company to pay its workers $15 an hour. The union-backed group Our Walmart says demonstrations are planned at 1,600 stores around the country. Organizers say workers started walking off the job on Wednesday and some staged a sit-down strike at a store in Washington, D.C.
Brooke Buchanan, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman, played down the impact of the protests. She said past protests have focused on a handful of locations with a handful of workers.
"Perception is not reality in this case. We've seen this story before," she said.
___
Sales Bang
Black Friday is also one of the biggest days of the year for gun sales.
That puts pressure on the system for background checks. Researchers with the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, which is overseen by the FBI, have until the end of the third business day following an attempted firearm purchase to determine whether a buyer is eligible. After that, buyers have the right to get their guns even if the check wasn't completed.
Last year, the clock ran out more than 186,000 times.
The problem is the records submitted by states, which aren't always updated to reflect restraining orders or other reasons to deny a sale.
NICS did about 58,000 checks on a typical day last year. The figure surged to 145,000 on Black Friday.
___
It May Be Too Late
Those waking early for some Black Friday shopping may have missed the boat.
It turns out the hottest deals of the season may be on Thanksgiving, according to an analysis of sales data and store circulars by two research firms.
This year, Target, Macy's and Kohl's opened at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving.
Others started dishing out deals even earlier. Amazon.com and Best Buy started introducing Black Friday deals last week. On Wednesday, Target also gave early access to some of the specials reserved for the holiday shopping kickoff both in stores and online.
___
Early Bird Special
The National Retail Federation expected 25.6 million shoppers to head to stores on Thanksgiving, which would be slightly down from last year. The numbers aren't in yet, but there were crowds across the country.
Macy's said more than 15,000 people were lined up outside its flagship location in New York City's Herald Square when the doors opened at 6 p.m. Last year, the retailer said there were 15,000 people.
In the Chicago suburb of Naperville, Illinois, the parking lot of a Wal-Mart store was full about a half hour before deals started at 6 p.m., including $199 iPad minis.
And thousands of people were at Citadel Outlets in Los Angeles, which opened at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving for a "Moonlight Madness" all-night sale. Hordes of cars inched past rows of palm trees wrapped in red and white lights.
____
Buyer's Remorse?
When stores first started opening on Thanksgiving a few years ago, the move was met with resistance by those who thought the holiday should remain sacred.
Some Thanksgiving shoppers still felt a tinge of guilt even as they snagged deals on the holiday. "I think it's ridiculous stores open on Thanksgiving," said Reggie Thomas, 44, a director who bought a Sony sound bar for $349, about $100 off, at Best Buy in New York on Thanksgiving.
Cathyliz Lopez, 20, who spent $700 at Target on Thanksgiving, agrees. "It's ruining the spirit of Thanksgiving," she said Thursday. "But ... the best deals were today."
___
A Visit From the Boss at Target
Target CEO Brian Cornell was at a store in New York City's East Harlem neighborhood for its opening at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving.
Cornell, who became chief executive in August, said the kickoff to the season is off to a good start based on early reads around the country.
"The baskets are full," he said as he watched shoppers filling their carts with TVs, clothing and toys. He noted people were buying more than just deals.
Cornell told The Associated Press he feels encouraged by what he has seen at stores and online. The holiday kickoff has changed, he said. "It's been more of a week event," he said.

NYC's Trinity Church Sues To Force Wal-Mart Ban On 'High Capacity' Magazines
In April, NYC's Trinity Church sued to force Wal-Mart to allow shareholders to vote on the "sale of high capacity guns"--i.e., guns which take "high capacity" magazines--as well as "other potentially offensive products."On November 27, US District Judge Leonard Stark, District of Delaware, ruled in favor of Trinity.
According to Reuters, Trinity wanted to add a proposal to Wal-Mart's annual meeting that would "require the governance committee of Wal-Mart's board to more closely examine the sale of products that might endanger public safety." Such products include "guns with [magazines] holding more than 10 rounds."
Trinity claims larger-than-10-round magazines "enabled" gunmen at Newtown, Connecticut and Aurora, Colorado to carry out mass killings. To make this claim they ignore findings like those at Virginia Tech, where a review board found magazine capacity limits would not have stopped Seung-Hui Cho from carrying out his heinous attack in April 2007. Cho killed 32 people and the review board found that a 10-round magazine capacity limit "would have not made that much difference in the incident."
Wal-Mart spokesperson Randy Hargrove said, "Trinity's proposal would interfere with Wal-Mart's ordinary business operations" by heaving new regulations upon the retailer. He said Wal-Mart may appeal Stark's decision.
Stark was appointed by President Obama in 2010.
Trinity Church cemetery contains the graves of a massive number of Revolutionary War veterans and notable Americans, including: Alexander Hamilton, Albert Gallatin, Horatio Gates, John Jacob Astor, and many others.

Richard Asher Purchases Pudge Brothers Pizza Franchise
Entrepreneur Leaves 27-Year Career to Control His Own Destiny
Aurora, Colo. (PRWEB) December 02, 2014
Like many other young adults, Richard Asher loved pizza in his 20s — so much so that he dreamed of owning his very own pizza restaurant. Now, years later, Asher is finally able to make that dream a reality with his purchase of an existing Pudge Brothers Pizza franchise location.
Prior to taking the plunge into franchise ownership, Asher worked at a home improvement store for 27 years, holding almost every job imaginable. But he wanted something more out of his career and decided to put his decades of experience to the test by branching out on his own.
“I wanted to control my own earning potential,” Asher explained. As a business owner, he enjoys not having to answer to anyone but himself, and the freedom he has to spend more time on his hobbies, including camping and biking.
Asher called upon small business financing firm Guidant Financial to help him fund his franchise. Using an alternative method known as a Rollover for Business Start-up, he leveraged his retirement funds to invest in his new business without taking a taxable distribution.
“[Working with Guidant was] very easy,” Asher said of the financing process. “[They] handled every step of the way and kept me on track to get the purchase done in less than a month.”
Asher is now quick to endorse 401(k) rollovers as a leading method to buy a business. “If you want to pursue [owning] your own business and you have retirement funds … then I would recommend utilizing Guidant to get you there.”
More than just a pizza restaurant, Pudge Brothers Pizza is a community-oriented business that focuses on the core values of respect, neighborhood support, consistency and friendliness. Aside from its hand-tossed dough and fresh ingredients, Pudge Brothers also offers many other delicious menu options to satisfy any appetite, including sub sandwiches, ribs, burgers, chicken, Stromboli, Italian dinners and more.
Pudge Brothers Pizza in Aurora, located at 4034 S. Parker Rd., is open for business. To learn more about their menu, call 303-680-1116 or order online at pudgebrosquincy.com.
