National chains will pick up tab for police patrols to prevent door-busting scuffles between the first line of Black Friday patrons.
Just hours after gobbling up parts of another unlucky bird, sleep-deprived early birds are expected to camp out in front of two local retail stores hoping to get lucky. And if any are like the sweatsuit-clad, pumped-up woman featured in Target's pre-Black Friday television advertising this week, they will be running a marathon through stores armed with a shopping cart to take advantage of the deals. Following through on a mandate from their midwestern-based corporate offices, both Target and Kohl's in Middletown will open at midnight tomorrow to welcome shoppers who supposedly can't wait to gobble up incredible holiday savings.

A cheap green thumb from Target concept for fresh herbs, veggies
I've always toyed with the idea of growing a garden; or, at the very least, a few vegetables here and there. My girlfriend and I are getting ready to move out of our third floor condo and into a ground floor dwelling, so there will finally be space and soil ready for planting. It's a hard field to get digging in (puns all intended), so you can imagine my excitement when I stumbled across a low-cost, easy solution. I don't buy a whole lot of stuff at Target, and when I have to go in there I usually make a beeline for the things I need and close my eyes to all the other stuff that's just calling out to me. I'm a marketer's dream. If left to my own devices, I will buy anything and everything. Usually it's in and out to grab some whey protein …
