For the record.. this is the moment that the former St. Catherine hospital, and Ashland hospital, in Ashland Pennsylvania did NOT sell.
Black Friday was a bust for the bankruptcy sale.

This is the former Ashland hospital, it is in Pennsylvania and it is filled with history of coal miners, baby births, life and death.
It has been closed for over a year due to a series of financially catastrophic events and it has gone bankrupt. Now today there is a public auction of everything in it along with the building and real estate itself.
I was born here, but I will not die here.
It will most likely never be a hospital again, that is a shame.
I can say much much more, but I will refrain from that on such a public forum as this website.
Maybe one day.

Be proud America. This is you.

It's chaos and hell already
Some images and videos of Black Friday madness. Humanity at its worst over material garbage.
It's chaos and hell already
Black Friday nonsense
My least favorite term being said by everyone today is ‘doorbuster prices’ I always hated that term.
I think it’s more offensive this year since shopping started thanksgiving night and the term was used much earlier than normal.
I think on 2014, we should start the door buster Black Friday sales on Halloween night. Why not.

Don’t get bruised. Don’t get battered.
Chances are, you were already.
When I was driving home with my wife and child from our Thanksgiving family affair, we passed by a Walmart. The place was mobbed with people and cars—so many that people started parking in a dirt and muddy lot that separates the store from the town of St. Clair, PA. God bless the workers tonight who will be faced with bruising and battering that was mentioned above.
People in pajamas flocking to the aisle with the cheap TV. People donning their finest spandex while they flea for iPhones and pads. Maybe iPads.
It was a little horrifying to see so many people out and about in Thanksgiving taking part in such rampant materialism. Couldn’t they wait until 3am for those ‘doorbusters.’…?
And speaking of doorbusters. I have come to despise that word over the past 36 hours.

This is where we are with Comet Ison tonight: We have never seen a comet behave like this
It’s still possible that the initial reports of ISON’s demise were exaggerated. “It is now clear that Comet ISON either survived or did not survive, or… maybe both,” Bruce Betts, director of projects for the Planetary Society, said in a Twitter update. “Hope that clarifies things.”
What we know: Not much yet.
We can guess, and some shots would appear that ISON is alive and well..or at least half alive and still moving.
Earlier today everyone, including NASA, pronounced this potentially historic comet dead. That does not seem to be the case as more analysis is done. Joshua Filmer of the site FROM QUAKES TO QUASARS wrote this tonight:
As I stated before, as the comet approached the Sun, something happened and ISON started to smear. It looked like the comet fizzed out before it even got started. Even if ISON disintegrated, scientists were suppose to see debris left over (which would be better for professional study, though not so good for amateur astronomy), but everything, the comet, the tail, everything, just vanished. Dean Pesnell, a project scientist with SDO summarized it most eloquently by saying “I’d like to know what happened to our half a mile of material that was going around the sun. Now’ it’s broken up and I didn’t see anything.”
Currently, material has reemerged from the other side of the Sun’s Corona. This is either a continuation of the tail that ISON left behind, or the comet itself. Current speculation is the dust that we see is simply dust, orbiting exactly as it should. The nucleus is probably lost.
It is pretty fascinating stuff—especially amazing to see so much disagreement still on what we are seeing having emerged from ISON’s encounter with the sun..
This tonight is, as as Phil Plait writes, a comet eager to confuse.
Hopefully definite answers are forthcoming..
Eyes on the sky. We may see a century event after all..

Comet ISON vanishes in a puff of dust as it goes around the sun
The dud of the century. It appears Ison has not survived its trip to the sun…

What does thanksgiving mean to you?
Does it mean turkey?
Does it mean you’re going to have to work retail for sub-par wages?
Does it mean football?
Does it mean family?
Does it mean Christmas is coming?
Does it mean the winter is here, that the year is winding down?
Does it mean tales of Pilgrims and Native Americans?
Does it mean the stories of Thanksgiving massacres not told in history books?
Or none of the above.
Or something else.
What does it mean to you?
VIA soupsoup:
The 87th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was feared to have to ground it’s balloons due to high winds. Macy’s made the final determination to let the balloons fly early Thursday morning before the event.
IT’S ON!
THANKSGIVING 2013, WITH BALLOONS FILLING THE STREETS

As you un-can your yams: The fire in the sky. And below.
Twas the night before Thanksgiving,
And all across Earth,
Eyes were staring at the heavens,
What’s Ison worth?
It may be a big show. Or a big dud.
We will not really know until Comet Ison makes its way around the sun—if it makes it, we will have a wonderful light show and a potential ‘Comet of the Century’ until Christmas.
We reported last night that Ison was looking like it would die a slow and icy death. Today there are mixed signals and a renewed chance that we will witness this potentially historic comet.
While you spice your turkey and un-can your yams, tonight may be a great night to tune into Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis. He’s on right now live as I write this, affiliates can be found here. Among his topics will be Ison and, as he reported tonight, fireballs being seen across Greece—and also apparently San Diego.

ALSO THIS:
CNN: NASA’s Comet ISON Observing Campaign website says the comet is “brightening dramatically” ahead of its close encounter with the sun on Thursday.
The glare of the sun has blocked most ground-based observations for now, but NASA has a fleet of spacecraft watching as ISON plunges toward the sun. Two space telescopes recorded images of the comet after it started acting like it was falling apart. NASA’s STEREO satellite and later the ESA/NASA SOHO spacecraft both spotted ISON.The images indicate that ISON is on course and “is seen to brighten … a reasonably bright tail might develop as the comet reappears,” said Padma Yanamandra-Fisher with observing campaign.
