If you think you may need to make a trip to your local grocery store on Christmas, be sure to find out early this week whether or not the store will be closed on Saturday. While many grocery stores are open on Christmas Day with limited hours, there are several that are closed the whole day. It would be pretty darn annoying, and fairly embarrassing, to not only be missing a vital ingredient for Christmas dinner, but then not even be able to get it because the grocery store closed at 3pm. Obviously all areas are different, so find out for yourself from your local grocery store... 

I hope you don’t have plans to shop at WalMart on Christmas day, because it won’t be open. Yes, it’s shocking; I know. You’d think a great American staple such as WalMart would be open to cater to the WalMart-loving public on Christmas, wouldn’t you? Although I suppose the fact that it will be closed shows just how American WalMart really is. Most locations of the country’s largest retailer, Walmart (especially its Supercenter hypermarkets), are open continuously except on Christmas Day, unless local laws dictate otherwise. Many stores in the U.S., such as the... 

Once upon a time cities literally shut down on Christmas day. Banks, department stores, mom & pop stores, movie theaters – they would all close their doors for a full day. But those days are no longer. While most stores do close in observance of Christmas Day, there are a few places that remain open; in hopes of, or in despite of, a small amount of customers. Or perhaps it’s an effort to tell the world that they know not everyone celebrates Christmas, and that some people would rather go shopping that day. Personally, I prefer to spend the day with my family. But I can... 

Having been found guilty of the August 2008 attempted murder of his former girlfriend, 38-year-old Kendra Beebe, actor Shelley Malil, 45, was sentenced to 12 years to life behind bars, on Thursday. Read: Actor Shelley Malil Says He Stabbed Kendra Beebe On Accident. Over And Over. Kendra Beebe…was stabbed more than 20 times with a butcher knife when Malil unexpectedly went to her apartment in San Marcos. The sentence by Judge Harry Elias includes the possibility of parole. During the trial, Malil testified that he began lashing out when he felt a friend of Beebe was about to... 

Another day, another celebrity divorce. At first I thought it was odd that so many celebrities have announced breakups and plans to divorce over the past week or so, but now I’m thinking it’s all about taxes. Or they don’t want to have to buy each other Christmas presents. Earlier this week we found out that Dexter stars Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter are divorcing. Hall and Carpenter, who have been married for a measly two years, play brother and sister on the HBO television hit. Now rumor has it that Michael C. Hall left Jennifer Carpenter for another Dexter... 

Chapter 1 May 1990 – Eastern Washington University, Cheney, WA. Pryor Hart hated French. She wondered daily what had possessed her to take the stupid class. She vowed each evening to drop it, and yet, she’d find herself the next night, well after midnight, struggling over the conjugations of a language that wanted to be spoken through the nose. If the French spelled words the way they sounded she’d have a better chance. But instead, out of spite no doubt, the belligerent French added three or four silent consonants to a word, just to make her life suck. Pryor hated French. She...
