HERMANN MISSOURI OKTOBERFEST 2010 - CLICK ON PHOTO FOR THIS YEARS SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
Not everyone got a deal at Best Buy Friday morning. Some left the store owing over $300.
At least ten customers at the Best Buy on Lindbergh walked out of the store-- only to find their cars were gone. Towed away. The bill will cost them $335. The customers said there was little to no warning that they were illegally parked.
The customers parked in a lot adjacent to Best Buy. It belongs to T-Mobile. When the customers arrived early Friday morning, there were no signs saying T-Mobile customers only. There was only a small sign from a company called Bulldog Towing, warning about abandoned or illegally-parked cars. The sign was upside down. . Click Here for more info.

A Clovis, California, woman won $10,000 playing Powerball with a ticket purchased in Warrenton, the Missouri Lottery announced Friday. Carmen Sheppard was visiting relatives for Thanksgiving when she bought the winning ticket at Mosers Discount Foods on Armory Road.
When Sheppard scanned her ticket, she assumed that she had won $10, the Lottery said. It was while attempting to redeem the ticket that she learned that she had missed a few zeros.
Sheppard said the cashier informed her that, “It’s not $10, it’s $10,000!”
“I was really shocked!” she added.
The California resident plans to use the windfall to remodel her bathroom when she returns to the west coast, the Lottery said.

Gov. Jay Nixon's tax credit commission will release its highly anticipated report on Tuesday at 2 p.m., when it will be posted online and commission co-chairs Chuck Gross and Steve Stogel will speak to reporters.
Nixon suggested capping the popular historic preservation tax credit that is used primarily to redevelop urban areas in St. Louis and Kansas City. Missouri uses more money for historic tax credits than any state in the nation.
But developers have pushed back on that idea, suggesting the tax credit spurs economic development. Tax credits are used to help developers finance projects. The credits are counted against potential state revenue, and are sold on the open market, often for a discount. . Click Here for more info.

North Korea warned Friday that U.S.-South Korean plans for military maneuvers put the peninsula on the brink of war, and appeared to launch its own artillery drills within sight of an island it showered with a deadly barrage this week.
The fresh artillery blasts were especially defiant because they came as the U.S. commander in South Korea, Gen. Walter Sharp, toured the South Korean island to survey damage from Tuesday's hail of North Korean artillery fire that killed four people.
None of the latest rounds hit the South's territory, and U.S. military officials said Sharp did not even hear the concussions, though residents on other parts of the island panicked and ran back to the air raid shelters where they huddled earlier in the week as white smoke rose from North Korean territory.
Tensions have soared between the Koreas' since the North's strike Tuesday destroyed large parts of this island, killing two civilians as well as two marines in a major escalation of their sporadic skirmishes along the sea border.

Song : War Pigs
Artist : Black Sabbath
Album : Paranoid (1970)
Lyrics:
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that to the poor
Yeah!
Time will tell they are power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their judgement day comes
Yeah!
(Bridge)
Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan laughing, spreads his wings
OH LORD YEAH!

The below-freezing temperatures were no match for the thousands of shoppers who hit stores throughout the region this morning, long before the sun came up.
Retailers are reporting strong sales and shoppers are taking advantage of the early bargains offered to stay on budget. Or close to it.
Not all retailers waited until today, though, starting Black Friday on Thanksgiving Day.
An increasing number of chains opened yesterday in an effort to ring up more sales and gain market share during a time of lackluster consumer spending.
Shoppers reported today getting a place in line early to make sure they got deeply-discounted doorbusters and other items on their holiday shopping lists. . Click Here for more info.
