So take the trip to Marshall to see the beautiful displays for yourself and enjoy a great time and enjoy the great food and keep warm with a great hot chocolate.
December 4, 2010 the famous ballet The Nutcracker is coming to Tyler. The East Texas Symphony Orchestra along with the Tyler Junior College Academy of Dance are putting on the beautiful ballet. The matinee will be at 2:00 and the evening concert will be at 7:30 at UT Tyler Cowan Center.
The popular German ballet is known all over the world and has been preformed by all different ballet groups. The story is about a young German girl, Clara, who dreams about being with a Nutcracker. But she can not be with her love without fighting off an evil mouse king with seven heads, which ended up only taking nothing more that hitting him in the head with a shoe.
It starts off with Clara at Christmas, she breaks a dear toy, a Nutcracker. Once the clock strikes midnight she begins to shrink and the Nutcracker, and tree and everything around her starts to come to life.
The Nutcracker wakes up and leads an army into war with the Mouse King and his army of mice. The Nutcracker is not match for the mice army as they quickly start to take him away. Clara then throws her shoe at the Mouse King and kills him. The Nutcracker turns into a prince and sweeps Clara off her feet.
There are many different worlds that you will travel through during the story from snow lands to candy worlds. While traveling these worlds they meet a Sugar Plum Fairy and dancing snowflakes. The ballet has everything from fight scenes to love stories. The beautiful costumes will bring the story to life in front of your eyes.
This ballet is a winter favorite. The Nutcracker has become a big part of Christmas. You can not walk through a Christmas decoration store without seeing something on the story. This is a great date idea for the winter season, it is something different in Tyler than going out to eat or to a movie.
November and December are some of the most traveled months of the year. Flying is the most popular way of travel, it saves a ton of time and if you find the right deals, it could save you money. There are many horror stories of flights that have gone wrong. If you are flying out of Tyler Pound’s Airport you may want to know which airline have the safest history.
American Airline is one of the most popular airlines. But I have just recently discovered that not every horror story is reported. A flight coming out of Washington D.C. had to take an emergency landing after only being in the air for about fifteen minutes.
After they landed they asked all of the passengers to leave the plane. There were no other planes around them, which began to seem like that this situation was serious. The fire department showed up and they began to look for a fire within the plane. The fire department began to throw foam into the luggage compartment.
The passengers were not told where to go or what to do. There was no one to greet them or help them. They had to call information to hear a computerized message. They asked a couple employees of the airline where they were suppose to go and the employees had no idea what they were talking about. There was no costumer service. No news stations nor news papers were there reporting on the emergency landing.
If there is an emergency like that I would expect there to be great custumer service and someone there in person to help out and guide the passengers to where they were expected to go. So before you travel this holiday season you should check on the airline and their customer service during an emergency.
With Thanksgiving coming around the corner, “Day After Thanksgiving Sales” are coming soon too. If you are not a regular Black Friday shopper you may feel lost and confused. This is the only day a year that traffic is the worst at 3:00 in the morning. If you drive through the town at midnight you will see tons of people lined up around the store.
Many people will camp out at night to get the best sales. But are all the stores worth it to leave your house in the middle of the night? The most popular stores in Tyler on Black Friday are, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, and Kohl’s. The Broadway square mall will have people lining up at different stores but in my past experiences I have not found that great of deals at the mall in Tyler.
One of the biggest lines in Tyler is the line for Best Buy. Best Buy has every kind of electronics for a great price. If you are in the front of the line for Best Buy it can get pretty scary when the doors open at 5:00 Friday morning. They will have huge sales on iPads, and iPods.
They are selling all size HDTVs for lowest prices yet. Any Samsung laptop computer will be on sale for $150 off. Best Buy will be selling Blu-rays that were released this year for $12.99 and DVDs for less than four dollars. There will be huge sales on Play Station, Xbox, and Wii games.
Target’s parking lot is always over crowded pretty much all day on Black Friday. Target will have a pre-black Friday sale on Sunday, November 21st until Wednesday the 24th. Many sales that they will have are going to be pretty close to the sales that will be on Friday. There will be a huge selection f fun and popular toys for 50%.
The popular Tag books are on a lot of kids (and mom’s) Christmas lists, during these sales you can get one Tag book and get one free. Nintendo DS are on sale of $119. The new Donkey Kong Wii game will include a $10 Target gift card. You can shop for two people with one gift. The Acer netbook is normally $240 but will be on sale for $179.99, and includes a free Tuari Neoprene Sleeve, which is normally $12.99.
You can save up to $90 on Vizio Televisions. Paula Deen cookware set is usually $140, but you can save fifty dollars and buy it for the low price of $99.99. You can save on Christmas ornaments, candles, snacks and food for your Christmas dinner, not to mention all the dishes that it take to cook and serve the perfect meal.
The lines are the worst at Target. The store gets so unorganized. Black Friday seems to be the day that people get the maddest about people cutting in line and people cut in line the most. A hint to all the quick shoppers out there; have someone stand in line the moment you get there and do your shopping fast, that way you don’t have to sit there for a few hours with your hands full of stuff.
We are lucky that Tyler has three Wal-Mart stores and Lindale has one. How the Black Friday sales work at Wal-Mart is not like the other stores. They have separate lines within the store for the popular items and open the items early in the morning.
So at Wal-Mart you don’t have to stand out in the cold for hours at a time. Wal-Mart has movies for the lowest prices around even less than two dollars for movies such as “27 Dresses”, “17 again”, “Bourne Identity”, “Bourne Supremacy”, and “Bourne Ultimatum”. Wal-Mart sells Blu-Rays for only $10 and even some for $5. The Apple iPod Touch will be a big hit.
The selling price will be $225 but it will come with a $50 gift card. The portable DVD players will be on sale for less than $50. Televisions of all size will be on sale anywhere in between $98-$998. What little girl does not like to open her presents from under the tree to find a new Barbie doll? What mom does not love to find great sales on Barbie products?

The Hague sports started as nothing more than a blog written by a Stephen F. Austin State University student. As Nathan Hague, along with Luke Johnson, began to do podcasts, (internet radio shows) they began to expand, and they opened a new website www.thehaguesports.com.
The show started with Nathan Hague, the host of the show and sportswriter who prides himself on his many interviews of big named athletes. Along with Nathan was Luke “Ocho-Cinco” Johnson, who is known for his love of two things, the A&M Aggies and Brett Favre. Joining them later on were Stephen Todd, known for his self-proclaimed nickname Stevie-Westside, and Ben Dieter, one of Texas Rangers’ most loyal fans. Jason Hague is a frequent guest on the Hague Sports, who brings a little more sarcasm to the show, and has an ongoing argument with Luke Ocho-Cinco about who is the best quarterback of the NFL.
The Hague Sports covers many college and professional sports. The biggest subjects covered by the show are college and professional football, college and professional basketball, and professional baseball. One of the most popular traditions of the show is the “Drama Queen Award”. This award is given to someone involved in the sports world that starts drama or causes a fuss. A few of the cast members nominate a different person involved in sports and they vote on who has caused more drama, and crown them that weeks Drama Queen.
The show and articles on haguesports.com are quite entertaining, and always up to date with the news in the sports world. It is fun to tune in to hear the cast members give each other a hard time and place fun bets on game picks. The cast gives a whole new perspective on sporting events.
