he writes about it in "decision points" going on sale today. folks lined up overnight in dallas to buy the book. waterboarding is considered torture by human rights activists. in an interview, former president bush says he personally authorized the so-called enhanced interrogation technique saying it was critical to preventing another 9/11-like attack. >> we used this technique on three people. captured a lot of people and used it on three. we gained valuable information to protect the country, and it was the right thing to do as far as i'm concerned. >> one of those prisoners was 9/11 master mind khalid shaikh mohammed. president bush says he would make that same decision again. thousands of passengers are stranded aboard a cruise ship this morning. a fire on splendor broke out yesterday in the pacific ocean off of baja, california. tug boats will tow it to northern mexico to get the passengers off as quickly as

at 7:of, that's the first look at the weather. maggie? after deliberating for four long days, a jury voted unanimously yesterday to send 47-year-old steven hayes to death row. cbs news national correspondent jeff glor is in new haven this morning with the latest.

jeff, good morning. >> reporter: maggie, good morning to you. this is a case as you know from the beginning that stunned and appalled people even if they heard about it once. jurors had to hear two months of gruesome testimony and the sole survivor still lives with it this morning. >> i was really crying, crying for loss. >> reporter: it's been 39 months since dr. william petit's family, wife and two daughters were taken from him, in perhaps the most savage way possible. >> michaela was a 11-year-old little girl. tortured and killed. in her own bedroom. you know? surrounded by stuffed animals and -- >> reporter: but after watching a jury recommend death for steven hayes, it was clear the pain has barely receded. >> i don't think there's ever closure. i think whoever came up with that concept's an imbecile. and i think many of you know who have lost a parent or a child or

a friend. there's never closure. there's a hole. >> reporter: petit had to stop at times talking about michaela, hayley and wife jennifer after hayes and komisarjevsky broke into the petit home, tying up the daughters, sexually assaulting michaela, raping and strangling jennifer before dousing all three with gasoline and catching the house on fire. >> i didn't want to listen to the things being said in the courtroom. there was a thousand times i wanted to jump up and scream out. >> reporter: defense lawyers tried to portray hayes as a maul-time career criminal who got caught up in the extreme emotion of events. and the jury did not act quickly. deliberating 17 hours over 4 days before deciding on death. one juror cried as the verdict came down. the judge said they saw and heard things no human should ever have to. >> it was written on each and every juror's face that this was

something that was really wearing on them and especially given the fact that they had to be unanimous. >> reporter: hayes' lawyers said the client was thrilled and happy with the decision. >> he can't kill himself. he tried. the jury gave him what he wants. >> reporter: as for the petit's, they say their push for an execution was neverjustice. >> there are just some people who do not deserve to live. >> reporter: hayes will be formally sentenced on december 2nd but because of the automatic appeals process in connecticut, likely be years before he's executed if he is at all. as for his co-deft, opening statements in josh ka komisarjevsky's case won't be made until next year. dr. petit says it takes far too long. maggie? >> jeff glor in new haven,

connecticut, thank you. joining us from six members of the jury. joel zemke, diane keim, paula calzett calzetta. are you 100% certain that steven hayes should die by lethal injection? jennifer? >> yes. >> yes. >> yes. >> yes. >> yes. >> yes. >> the fact that you took four days to reach that decision and the sort of questions that you were asking led some people to believe that maybe you were divided in your decision or leaning against the death penalty. was that ever the case, michael? >> i think everybody went in with their own thoughts and ideas and we all wanted to hear the evidence and wanted to weigh everything properly. we definitely took our time and wanted to make sure we followed the laws of the state of connecticut and the instructions that the judge gave us so we took our time and we did it. >> at one point in his closing,

the defense attorney said, look at him. he is not a rabid animal. he is a human being. paula, what do you see when you look at steven hayes? >> a vacant man. a shell. and that was -- that was pervasive from the beginning. i kept looking to see if there was some form of life within. it's just constant shell. so it's -- it was hard to see, to get a read on him, really. >> i have no involvement in this case other than reporting it and yet i find myself sometimes so affected by it i can't get it out of my head. you are in it, having to look at the photographs day after day aft girls burned while tied to their beds. having to sit face to face from dr. petit. how do you keep it, diane, from consuming you? >> i think that was the challenge for all of us. to keep our emotions in check the best we could. we were given the task to work

within -- work in concert with the law. and in doing that, that's why it had taken us four days to make the decisions. and reach a consensus because that was a battle within all of us. we had a man's life, you know. we were looking at his life. we were looking at should we give him death? and it was difficult for all of us. and it took courage for us to reach a consensus. >> i agree. herb, i'll give you the last word. your impressions of the case an your wish for dr. petit. >> well, at the end and a lot of people don't realize this, at the very end we did as a jury ask the judge if we could see dr. petit and they made arran arrangements for us to meet with him in the basement of the courthouse and probably that was one of the most touching moments

to actually shake his hand and feel with him a feeling of having come to a conclusion or come to a sensible end to this horrible thing that he went through. there's no question the man has strength if any one of us could follow this man's strength, you would have walked a good road. >> absolutely. and his whole family came. and having lived through this for however many weeks we have come to feel like we know the girls and know the family. and his mom especially for me. it was very -- the grandparents were very -- that was very touching for me to see them there day after day. >> they thanked us and that was -- >> he thanked us. >> threw us back. why are you thanking us? we followed the letter of the law what the state of connecticut told us to do and we did it. >> you did a real service and we thank you. i know it wasn't easy.

thank you very much for that and being here today. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> now here's harry. >> all right, maggie. joining us from cheshire, connecticut, the rev rand and marybelle hawke, parents of jennifer hawke-petit and her sister cynthia renn. could you hear the jurors? could you hear what they had to say? >> i did. >> and -- >> i was -- >> go ahead. >> go ahead. i'm very moved by what they speak of and how difficult it was for them. >> when you heard the jury return this death penalty, what did you think? >> i had a huge sense of relief that it was over.

i don't think it ever sounds good that you're thinking about taking another person's life. but in the events of what happened and the things that this man caused, i feel that it called for what they decided upon. >> reverend hawke, you're an ordained minister. certainly in your years of studying the bible, you would have to have real questions about a situation like this. what's your feeling about this death penalty? >> well, we entered into the whole situation confronted -- confronting our lives with that very question. we really felt like we were between a rock and a hard place for we value life so much. but we have become aware over these three-plus years of the

terrible killing that took place on that july day back in 2007. that we have come to realize that there are some people who just do not deserve to live in god's world. and we feel that steven was one of those. he has spent the largest part of his life in crime activities, being in and out of jails and prison. and lying and conniving and alibiing and in order to be paroled. and every time he would go out, after saying that he wanted to be a changed person, he never changed at all. and went right back to those same activities. and that led him up to that

experience on july 23rd. >> right. >> when he took the lives in such a heinous way of our family. >> marybelle, i have very little time left. what did it mean to you to know that the jury kept a picture of your daughter and granddaughters with them as they were going through this deliberation? >> i felt that that was very touching. i can understand them doing that. i know that they put themselves into this responsibility and really took a lot of courage for them to face day after day of the situation in court. and while we were sitting there going through all of the agony of the repeated messages that came through, we still could

understand that they were giving a large part of their lives to the effort that they had. so we were proud that they were the people they were and so thoughtful and carried forth so well in their task. >> reverend hawke, marybelle, thank you very much. cynth cynthia, thank you all for taking the time to speak with us this morning and as we said before, we are so sorry for your loss. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back. absolutely not. yeah, sure. ♪ chili's $20 dinner for two. share one appetizer, choose two entrees. all you need is somebody to go with. - oh, we miss you, honey. - i'll be home soon. until then... tommy? - behind every open heart is a story. - it's beautiful. - tell yours with my open heart collection at kay jewelers. keep your heart open, and love will always find its way in.

talk show on tbs. >> welcome my new show it's called "conan." i did it so i'd be harder to replace. >> reporter: last january, o'brien was replaced by jay leno as host of nbc's "tonight show." he wasn't happy about the move and let anyone watching know it. >> no, no, seriously welcome to nbc where our new slogan is, no longer just screwing up prime-time. >> reporter: nbc bought out conan and his staff for a reported $45 million. the deal also kept him off the air through september. bill carter is the author of "war for late night." >> if conan now goes on a cable network and really demonstrates he could have been stronger, then it's just looks like they just blew it again. >> conan, you have got to get a job. >> reporter: conan kicked off his new gig with a skit making fun of his summer of unemployment. >> you have absolutely no advertising experience. plus it's 1965. you're only two years old. >> i don't care who you were.

but will the move translate to success? >> they don't need him to be hugely successful in numbers. they need him to be talked about. and if he can be talked about again, he becomes a signature star. >> reporter: in his first night and the last few months are any indication, it's mission accomplished. ♪

it is now 7:39. time for this morning's "moneywatch." today, shopping at outlet malls. it is a multibillion dollar industry and we all think that we're saving a lot of money there. but that's not always true. consumer correspondent susan koeppen is here with some 411 on the outlets. good morning, susan. >> good morning. >> so how good are the bargains we're getting there? >> we're seeing about 30% to 70% that you can save. that was what the research shows. and these places are popular. there was just an outlet mall that opened up in raleigh, north carolina, in that area. five-mile backup to get into this place. so there are lots and lots of people who love to shop at these places. and you do get some really good savings. but it depends on what you want to buy. >> a couple of points. first, first give us some examples of some things that you should be buying at an outlet mall where you get real savings. >> if you're looking just at price, maybe not for you. but, if you want to buy

brand-name goods, if you're looking for those brand names like nike, coach, gucci, you know, all of those brand names that people love, an outlet mall might be a great place for you to go. >> could you get those same name brands at a regular retail store, maybe if it's on sale? especially now they're having so many sales. >> you should be a smart shopper when you're going to these places. most people drive a long distance to get to some outlet mall. so be a smart shopper when you're going there. and do a price check. if your local store is having a sale, and you belong to the loyalty program, and you have a bunch of coupons, it might be cheaper for you to go to the local mall and buy that, you know, great dress that you want. as opposed to driving all the way to an outlet mall to buy it there. so you just have to be smart about it. use your smartphone to do a price check, a comparison. and always shop with coupons. even though you're going to an outlet mall, you can also use coupons there. so before you head out to the outlet mall to make that destination trip, look for coupons that you can use at the

outlets. >> specifically coupons for the outlet? >> yep. zblor if i find a polo coupon i can use it at ralph lauren and ralph lauren outlets? >> it's specific coupons for that outlet mall. you go to their website and you can look up all the different coupons for the different stores that are there. >> here's the thing a lot of people don't know, not all the stores at an outlet mall are outlet stores. >> right. we talked to the folks at tanker outlets. they have numerous outlet malls all across the country. they said about 95% of the stores are outlets. but then they have other little filler stores that aren't outlets, but maybe they have a bigger clearance section at their store than what you would find in the regular mall. >> is there anything we should keep in mind, if we're thinking about making a return to an outlet store? >> very important to think about returns. okay, most people, this is a destination adventure for them to go to an outlet mall. they travel 60 miles or more to get to an outlet. so that's a long way to go. if you buy something at an outlet mall, it doesn't mean that you're going to be able to

return it at the regular store that's right up the street from you. >> you've got to drive -- >> you have to drive all the way back to the outlets. so check the policy very carefully before you buy something. or know 100% that you're going to keep that item. >> or don't drive at all. you can shop at an outlet online these days. >> hello the internet. a lot of these outlets are popping up on the internet. just, you know, save the gas, save the time, just sit in your pajamas and shop. >> sounds perfect. susan koeppen, thanks a lot, susan. for more secrets on the outlet mall shopping game just go to cbsmoneywatch.com. coming up next on "the early show," is this an amazing trick play or what? we're going to speak with the coaches who drew the play up, and the quarterback who pulled it off. sneaky sneaky. you're watching "the early show" on cbs.

you started to take off, and did you know this guy was right on your tail? >> sooner or later, i started figuring out little by little as the play progressed. >> you realized that he was right there. and then of course you scored the touchdown. so whose idea was this, then exactly? is it you, john? >> yes, sir. >> all right. how did you come up with this? had you seen it before? >> actually, when i was in seventh grade, many moons ago, i attempted to run this play and i got hit really hard by the safety. so it wasn't as successful back then. but it remained in the back of my head this whole time and we started practicing midway through the season and just saved it for the right time. >> so we have to set this up now. because you had done a play before where you intentionally drew a penalty. is that right, with an offsides? >> yes, sir. the play is called the penalty play. and to do that the defense needs

to have some type of penalty prior to running it. >> right. >> they hadn't really had very many penalties thrown on them so we went ahead and did a hard count. made them come offsides and then we called the penalty play and that's where it all started. >> so you have to stand on the sidelines and you're yelling, right, to jason, you've got to walk off five more yards, because that's what's happening there, right? >> yes, sir, yeah. they break the huddle and they wind up and once they line up i yell at jason, hey, jason it should have been a ten yard penalty, mark off five more yards and their players get on their knees, and that kind of adds to the confusion a little bit. >> oh, man, all right. we talked to the head coach, art. did they have your blessing on this? you knew what was going on? >> yes, sir, we knew from the beginning of the game. we had already practiced the play several times. we just never ran it before. and this time we found the opportunity to run it. >> yeah. some people are saying, now, was this a trick play or was it foul play. how do you answer the question

that maybe this wasn't quite kosher? >> well, it's a trick play. it was set to be a trick play. >> right. >> it was set to be run as a trick play and not a foul play. you know. it's a trick play. >> all right. well i'll tell you, everybody in the world is watching this thing and looked like it was fun to do. did you -- now did you win the game? >> no, sir. actually the game was tied 6-6. and we had to go and finish. so it ended up they won the game. >> thank you so much for joining us. do appreciate it. have a good time with it.

part home coming. unfortunately for the president, he's only scheduled to be here for about 21 hours and now it looks like it's going to be even less than that because that cloud of volcanic ash is moving in this direction and for safety's sake he's got to get on that plane before it gets here. at a press conference this morning, the president made it clear he's disappoint eed he's t going to have a chance to walk down memory lane. >> when you visit a place you spent time as a child as president, it's a little disorienting. my hope is maybe we can come back, bring the kids and visit some places outside of jakarta. >> now, the president is still hoping to squeeze in a speech before he leaves. he will hold out indonesia as a model for the world -- a tolerant, moderate muslim democracy. >> chip reid, thanks. the man convicted in a brutal, deadly home invasion will be put to death.

do every day to keep our minds sharp and our memories in tact. as our dr. jennifer ash ston about to explain. >> good morning, harry. >> what was this segment about again? i'm sorry. all right, among one of the largest organs in our body, along with our skin. the brain is way thereupon in term of its size. how do we make the most of it? >> well, you know what the most important thing here, harry? the brain today in terms of medical and scientific research is really where the heart was 20 years ago. we are learning so much more every single day about the brain and how we can protect it. and one of the things that's come out recently is the power of a power nap or sleep is critically important as to how our brains function, how we process new memories, how we down load all the experiences we have during the day. it's important to get seven to nine hours during the night, but power napping can also be really important. >> the other thing i heard was the quality of the conversations

you have can actually help your brain? >> exactly. and you hit the nail right on the head, pardon the pun. the quality of the conversation. people who had pleasant, social conversation, as short as ten minute, did better in terms of weeding out the distractions, processing new memories and facts than people who had competitive conversations. so it act schully really does your brain good to have a nice, pleasant social conversation, the kind if you're trying to meet someone. >> had you. how about that. maybe that's why i'm feeling so much smarter. these chats all the time. tell us ways to revitalize your brain cells. again is that possible? >> research in the last few months has shown that exercise -- the things that are good for the heart, are good for the brain. walking, aerobic activity boosts blood flow to your brain and helps to prevent the shrinkage all of us experience as we age.

>> i don't know if it's intuitive or whatever it is, but i know when i exercise, i feel like i'm getting more oxygen in my brain. >> when your heart pumps the oxygen through your body, the brain is getting a good part of that. >> a healthy diet? >> when you talk about a good brain diet, leafy green vegetables like kale and spinach. foods rich in vitamin d. seeds like almonds or sun flower seeds. >> kind of the same standard stuff. >> very important. and fish, like salmon, mackerel. >> what's bad for the brain? >> another things are bad for the brain are bad for the rest of you. smoking, high cholesterol, brain trauma, con kpupgs want to try to avoid that. >> dr. jennifer ashton, thank you so much. how much does maggie rodriguez of new york have in common with maggie rodriguez of california? the tale of two maggies as our

namesake series continues when we come back. ,,

we continue our "namesake" series this morning with maggie rodriguez, whom i met a few weeks ago in l.a. the first thing we realized we had in common is that we both get called all the same nicknames, mag, mags, maggie mae, mag-rod. by the end of the day we realized we have so much more in common than either one of us ever imagined. hey, good morning. from the moment i walk out of my office and head to the studio, it's an adrenaline rush, because we're about to do two hours of live television, and anything can happen. >> i love the thrill of this job. we never know what's going to come through those doors. if we can save a life, it's just

so fulfilling for us. my name is maggie god rig ez. >> reporter: we share the same name and the same love of our profession. this maggie rodriguez is an e.r. nurse at torrance memorial medical center in southern california, where i headed to spend a day in her shoes. hello. >> hi. >> hi, maggie. >> hi, maggie. >> nice to meet you. >> reporter: it was obvious as soon as i met maggie and her family that we have much more in common than just our names. so funny, because we're even dressed kind of the same, right? >> i know. i feel like i met my long-lost sister. >> reporter: maggie and i each have two children and we're both career women trying to juggle challenging jobs while raising a family. we had an instant connection. we live on opposite sides of the country. but we have the same name and we look alike. >> that's awesome. thank you for meeting us. >> reporter: you're welcome. after spending the morning with maggie's family, it was time to head to work to try my hand at her profession.

one i almost chose for myself. i always wanted to go into medicine. i can't believe all these years later my dream gets to come true. >> yay, perfect. >> reporter: maggie and the nurses here typically work a 12-hour shift, almost all of it on their feet. it can be a grueling job. >> perfect. >> reporter: see that, george, i'm learning. >> all right, go ahead and put up your arm for me. >> reporter: she said it's the feeling she's making a difference that makes this job so worthwhile. >> i love the challenge. i love helping patients. i love making sure that i can make someone better. >> reporter: you never forget the feeling of being with a human being. i could see how it could be easy to forget. she is gentle and sweet and i really admire her for that. in the e.r., you never know who your next patient will be. >> where's your boo-boo? >> her arm. >> right here? what happened? >> she fell off her bike. >> reporter: you never know what task you'll be asked to perform. >> now are you guys allowed to

do -- >> no. no. >> reporter: and even simple jobs like preparing an iv can be a problem. i didn't do a very good job. >> oh. >> i punctured it. >> you punctured it. >> hello, chris. >> how are you doing? >> good. so you have something for me? >> yes. here you go. >> all right. nice and fresh? >> and wrapped. >> i'll make sure i get this tested right away. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> reporter: my day with maggie in the e.r. wouldn't have been complete without learning how to perform one of the most routine medical procedures. the urine test. >> try to get as much urine on it as possible. >> reporter: after this test strip is dipped into the urine it's then automatically analyzed. when you're kind of tipping the tube you don't know if a little bit is going to spill out on you. >> it has at times. >> i was just so careful. spending the day with maggie made me realize how difficult her job is. >> what do you think about today? how do you think you'd function in my shoes? >> you know, it's really hard.

it was really, really hard. you make it look easy. you exert so much mental effort here. i love the interaction with the people. >> yeah. >> but the actual job, it's such a huge responsibility. i don't know that i would want to shoulder something like that. >> an exceptional nurse. a loving mother. and now someone i call a friend. i'm proud to share my name with maggie rodriguez. i salute you. >> thank you. and you did so good, too. you did a great job. >> reporter: thank you. that's my girl. mags. thanks so much to her and her boyfriend andy, cooked us a full meal. which we enjoyed. and stephanie and samantha her daughters are adorable. she's going to be a friend for life. i really feel that way. and she had an extra i.d. the one i wore in the story. she said take this as a keepsake. and also if you get pulled over for speeding, cops don't give nurses tickets. >> oh. you really found a best friend. >> reporter: i scored. >> that's fantastic. i love it.

you said you found out you had a lot in common with maggie rodriguez. i found out i have a lot in common with a woman named erica hill. a third grade teacher from st. louis. she gave me one of the most educational experiences of my life. and it wasn't just in the classroom. her students were amazing. talk about a great group of kids. their teacher, though, is an inspiration. not just as a teacher, but also as a mother. you're going to meet her tomorrow. you'll meet some of the kids, as well. the kids really had such a role, and joe, our producer, such a great time listening to these third graders. >> did you ever want to be a teacher? >> yes. >> because i have wanted to be in medicine. >> my mom is a teacher, now she's a guidance counselor. my sister is a teacher, as well. this is also a job, i know how difficult it is from what i've heard. when you spend that day in the classroom. >> they are saints. >> and you know what our two namesakes have in common. they both have jobs that unfortunately in large part are underrecognized, thankless jobs. >> absolutely. >> nurses are so crucial. and our dr. jennifer ashton is over there nodding. >> and teachers, of course. in public schools.

we will take you to a school outside of st. louis and you'll meet the incredible erica hill coming up tomorrow. >> still ahead in more than 5,000 episodes of "wheel of fortune" this was the most ,,,, [ bell rings ] what are you doing, friending somebody? yeah. you got time for that? you got time to earn more on your savings, online at capitalone.com. that's new school banking, baby! instead of earning squatootski... your savings will be earning three times the national average. now, let's review.

>> also, you may not have to wait for black friday anymore to score some of the best bargains. we're going to show you what to buy this month and what's worth waiting for this holiday season. >> i love these segments. also ahead, doing simple home renovations does not have to be expensive. carter oosterhouse of hgtv. of course we had to show carter, is here to show us some easy projects for your living room, your guest room, your kitchen, all of them just in time for your holiday company. and yes, you can do them. >> yes, you can. there you go. >> first, dave price is standing by with a final check of the weather. >> erica hill, nice to see you. harry smith, nice to see you. norma desmond, nice to have you with us today. >> well, thank you. i'm channeling. right? >> nice to see you guys. let's take a check of the weather. keeps you warm. that's the important thing. let's go to the maps right now. i know, it's beautiful. i love it. they were out of them when i went into the store. the northeast, today we are clearing out rather nicely.

could see a little bit of sluggishness as you head to sections of new england, cape cod, eastern sections of rhode island. where you may see a limb bit of rain and cloudy skies. but gusty winds are going to continue through the day so you could have delays in places like logan airport later on today. as we head out west, let's see what's happenin

>> if you're watching in kerry, north carolina this morning, you're down three people. they are accounted for. that's a quick look at your weather picture. harry, inside to you. >> all right, dave, thanks. she has been a "wheel of fortune" fanatic her entire life. but nobody, but nobody could have seen this coming. contestant caitlin burke solved a seven-word phrase with only one letter showing. take a look. >> what's that? >> can i solve? >> okay. >> it is a prize puzzle. >> yes. >> i've got a good feeling about this. >> that's right.

>> whoo! >> and caitlin burke joins us exclusively this morning. good morning. >> how are you? >> man. when you see that, what do you think? >> i don't know. i just think it's funny. it's funny that, you know, all this has become of it. i don't know, i guess i'm excited. >> it had to be exciting. >> yeah. >> but quite honestly, because in our house, jeopardy! is on, we pay close attention, time to clean up and i'm doing the dishes and "wheel" is on over there. i have to say, i must have watched thousands of episodes. nobody's -- anybody ever done a seven-word puzzle with one letter? >> that's because you're busy cleaning the house. you should be paying attention. you've got to pay attention to the puzzles. >> how did you know? >> just years of practice and watching. i don't know, you just try to instantly think of -- instead of getting so caught up on the letters on the board, rather than thinking this is a phrase.

seven letters, that's a phrase. how many of those do you know that start with "i." i've had the time of my life. >> you were just running through those i've, i've, i've, i've, i've. >> and for i'll -- i'll have what she's -- and that doesn't fit. so you kind of go with those quickly. and i've got a good feeling about this just came and i was like, oh, my gosh. i'm going to solve this. >> what did pat say to you? >> he didn't say anything at first. he was just shocked. >> look at him. say jack is like, what? >> and i just wanted to see what i won. i was so excited. so much energy. >> look at that. >> he's like, hold on. hold on. >> because people think that there had to be a fix. there had to be some trickery or chicanery of some sort. >> i guess that's flattering if people think that it's that great that it was fake. but, no. anyone who has ever been on a game show would know, there's no way. >> you used to play with your father, right? >> yes. >> growing up. >> yes. >> you guys have watched jeopardy and then watched wheel. >> he was always really good at

jeopardy! he and my brother are both really great at jeopardy! i'm okay, but i think it takes some years of like cultural capital you need to build up. so i didn't really think that was affair. he was alive when some of those things were going on, i wasn't. i can't answer as well. then "wheel of fortune" would come on and i could shine and show him, i really had the skill set. >> it was -- it's hard to get on this show. >> yeah. i mean, not necessarily -- i mean, as far as like just applying, and everything. so i think a lot of people -- >> you've been trying to get on for years. >> i think they must have a lot of people applying. and eventually they got back to me when i was in new york. i went to a big audition. yeah, it was fun. there were a lot of people there so i guess it was hard. but i had a good time. and just -- >> wow. so you win this puzzle. right. and it's a prize puzzle worth how much? >> $6,800? >> $7,000, give or take. what did you end up with for the day? >> $53,618.

>> not that many people win that much money on "wheel of fortune." >> i know, it was really exciting. >> you must be phenomenal. because on jeopardy! they always have tournaments of champions or whatever. i'm not sure they do. >> i'm not sure. but after talking about it a little bit i'm so hoping they'll start that. because i'd love to come back. they used to have that. friday would be the championships. they don't do that anymore. so i don't know. i wish they would. >> what's been the reaction since friday when this was on the air, and now you're in "the new york post," and now you're here? >> it's been crazy. more than i could ever imagine. and even just my friends and like people that i haven't talked to in awhile are saying such nice things. it's really great. >> we have a puzzle for you if you'd like to play. >> oh. >> oh, gosh. >> where is it. all right, can you see that what says? one "l." one, two, three, four, five, six, seven words. do you get another letter? >> what is it? it's a phrase?

>> yeah, it's a phrase. >> wait. how can -- bet you can't do it again -- that's not a real phrase. that's not a real phrase. doesn't count. i was trying. >> you did a good job. so impressed. really, what a thrill. >> thank you so much. >> thanks for playing along. now here's maggie. >> fantastic, thank you, harry. blank friday, the day after thanksgiving may be the official start of the holiday shopping season, but right now you can find some real deals in november, but if you want to wait, there are some things you should wait for. here with advice on how to get your sales timing down is aol consumer adviser regina lewis. >> thanks, maggie. >> welcome back. i was out shopping yesterday and at the store things were 40% off. so in my experience, these discounts are starting sooner and they're just as deep. >> there's even a term for it

called christmas creep. as in creeping up on the calendar. retailers are dealing with roughly the same economy as last year. so you saw 40%. i think we'll stay in that neighborhood. we're not going to see what we saw in 2008, 80% off. it's going to be very much about what you buy and when you buy it. >> when you buy it is what our segment is all about. >> yeah. >> there are some things you should buy right now and some things you should buy later. let's start with the buy news. >> sure. >> the grill, i guess because it's off-season, it makes sense that it would be on sale. >> off-season, but going, going gone. i think you've got about ten more days left to get your hands on them. places like lowe's and sears and home depot will actually shep them for free now. also cutlery, we found at macy's was orangely $290, now $100. deeply discounted right now. >> here's one that doesn't make sense to me because i always thought that the rule of thumb for baggen shopping was buy out of season and winter coats are in season now. >> very interesting. dave price can probably tell us. october had a 20-year warmest october in 20 years.

so, nobody bought coats. so turns out that all of the retailers offering outer wear have excess inventory. old navy is running a 50% off deal right now for women's, kids, here you see it. available as we speak. right now. so you're right now. it's counterintuitive but has to do with that warm october. lands' end, the other big player there, these coats deeply discounted. in fact they have a friends and family sale starting friday but we got in on it early for "the early show," if you go to cbs.com, the early show web site you can get in on that friends and family deal. >> all right. what kind of savings can we get on large-screen televisions? >> big, big savings. here's why, tv manufacturers are trying to get people to buy higher thend 3-d televisions. plus they made a lot of tvs thinking they would unload them around the world cup. didn't happen. people didn't buy them. so right now you can get deep, deep discounts. tvs traditionally go on sale this time of year, 20% off.

this one we found on buy.com for $299. originally $399. there's the price. it's 32 inches. now granted it's not a big brand name. but that's a lot of savings. >> a lot of tv and a lot of money. >> buy now. >> i don't understand why jewelry is a buy now. >> you're right. the rule of thumb on jewelry is buy in the summer. but 13% more people are going to ask for jewelry this year for the holiday. so you may be in a must-buy situation. we tried to find the buy now play. we went to macy's and found this sapphire bracelet, originally $200. now 79. that's more than a 69% discount. >> why? >> jewelry has high margins so they can play around with it. some items are going to be on sale, some aren't. also ice.com, bluenail.com. generally speaking you get more bling for your buck if you buy jewelry online. >> did not know that. health care products, medicine, not exactly a holiday gift. but might be a nice present for yourself. >> the timing. >> the timing is what's important here. >> absolutely. very important. because the flexible spending account, ffa that a lot of people have as part of their health care plan, these products

over the counter, you're going to need a prescription for after january 1 which changes the equation for a lot of folks. drugstore.com have an ffa store. 3,000 over-the-counter items like these on sale. >> what's the website? >> drugstore.com. advil goes from $20 to $16. if you're buying multiple products, timing is critical. >> thank you, regina. all right, now buy later is this little section. don't buy jeans now, why? >> they tend to go on sale about 20% now, but up to 50 around christmas. they're a big teenager item. so hold out for jeans. >> and you still find plenty of sizes even close to christmas. >> i think so. >> all right, this one is very interesting. apple products. everybody's going to want these for christmas and a lot of people are going to be afraid they're going to run out. >> i think that's actually a healthy concern on the ipad. so if you want an ipad you have to have it for christmas, you're right, it is probably a buy now. if you don't have to have it for the holidays, maybe wait until january, where it's rumored apple will release new versions which mean the older versions

could come down in price. but on apple, products in general, they never go on sale. so it's not really a buy now or buy later. it's buy it when you can get it. >> good tip. and finally, linens. buy linens later, why? >> because john wanamaker, famous for the department store, actually invented the linen sale in 1978. the tradition has stuck. it's not longer just a white sale but it does happen in january and it's worth holding out for. >> wonderful tips. for more on these deals go to our website, earlyshow.cbsnews.com. erica? >> maggie, thanks. if you are expecting guests this holiday season, this is the perfect time to spruce up your home. and who better to help us through that than carter oosterhouse? the host of hgtv's "carter can." here with affordable products any weekend warrior can do. >> good morning. >> this is kind of fun stuff. so this is a nice way to get yourself ready for folks coming over. >> yeah, you know, if you want to spruce up your home, make sure that people notice it, and you know, so you can say, hey, guess what, i did this, i did this. >> i can. >> exactly. i care about you when you come into my my house.

first thing we're going to do is make a headboard. now this headboard is actually very simple to make. have you ever made one? >> i've never made one. but i love this. this is fantastic if you just have a mattress and a box spring in your guest room. >> yeah, make it look a little bit more elegant, a little more savvy. we've taken a three quarter inch sheet of mdf. you can use flywood if you want but sometimes it's not as straight. you can use green mdf and you can use half inch but we used three quarter. we've made it the width of the bed and height just depends on aesthetics. we've taken the three quarter inch mdf and cut it to size and put batting on the front side of it. >> this is just like batting that you would use, anybody who is a sewer, just sort of stuffing. >> exactly, exactly. just go to a fabric store, get some batting. at the fabric store, as well, you want to pick up your materials. >> our fabric. >> you've just, the batting is just stapled on. >> you can use spray-on adhesive, to, that you can get at the fabric store. and then you roll it over, and

then you staple it down. and we're going to do the same but we're not going to use the spray adhesive, just the staple gun. you want to make sure that you pull it nice and tight. >> i get to do it? oh, i've been dying for this. okay, pull it really tight. and just keep working. hold it nice and tight on there. there you go. almost. >> i need some practice on my staples. that's sad, isn't it? >> it's not sad. >> it's too high. >> i'm just saying, if you go to go back and maybe hammer it down a little bit. >> okay. >> but the big thing on this, once you pull this all the way over, you get it nice and tight, what you want to use is a french cleat. a french cleat is something basically you take what we have one inch by five inch piece of lumber. >> yes. >> cut it at 45. this is a french cleat and then you're going to stake oneite onto the back of the headboard and take its counterpart and stick it on the wall. so gravity is just going to hang. >> this is not the same width as

the head bard. >> exactly. because you can see right over here we have the headboard up. the reason the french cleat is not the same size, once we put it onto the wall, you plop it on top of it and gravity is going to hold it on. it's not the same width so you can move it left or right according to where your bed is. >> i'm going to master the stapling. it's really easy unless you're me. another great thing you can do for your kitchen cabinets, bathroom, whatever. a little paint goes a long way. >> a little paint goes a long way and new hardware. i know we probably beat this to death. hardware, people are buying, it's going out of the stores like crazy right now. because instead of buying a hutch that costs, you know, hundreds of dollars, maybe even thousands, why not just add some paint to it and add new hardware to it. >> and easy for unders $100. in some cases under $50. >> easily. >> first things first, choose your style. whether you want to go old, antique look. if you want to do a satin finish. if you want to do a painted finish. something like that. now here you can see, this was

the original color. to the hutch. this green has a little distressed on the sides. >> okay. >> so first thing you want to do is take some sand paper maybe like 120. just go ahead and sand it down. >> right. >> to get that sheen off. put some paint on. >> does it matter what type of paint you use? >> doesn't matter. just matters the finish that you want. we're using high gloss. make sure you use only one instead of something like this, which is a drawer or a door pull. which has two screws. >> yes. >> make sure you match the screw holes and sim 34ri just, you know, add your hardware. >> you showed me a fun trick, too. i have some wire cutters, but i never know there was a special little hole right here just for screws. >> right. so people think these are just for wires. that's not true. you can see there's this little screw holes. you get screws that are too long. just insert them into the hole, just like that and you can kit it down to size. screw it on there like that and cut it down to size. >> that i think i can do.

>> exactly. >> lastly over here. >> last but not least. >> the fireplace. tile. tile i feel like we're seeing a lot more of these days. >> yeah, you know, fireplaces, obviously, they can be a little bit dated, a little bit worn. here what we've done we've taken a simple, you so see what it used to lk like, we've added a mosaic one foot by one foot tile. these are one inch by one inch tiles on this. and you can see there's a mesh backing. >> they come in that sheet. >> now prep is huge on something like this. what you want to do is just make sure you cut it down to size and when you cut it. just flip the tile over. >> cut it right down the line. >> just like that. and you can see here that we've prepped and of course obviously in the beginning you add your thin set down, and then you leave it set for about 24 hours. >> okay. >> and then you go back and then you can put your grout. >> and i go back and put the grout. and you showed me something really important. i'm going to hold this one up, i'm not sure we can get it. when we cut it sometimes there are little pieces that hang off.

>> you're so smart. >> you said pay attention to these because otherwise they will come out. >> it will free here on the backside on this mesh and a lot of times that will pop out once you put the grout in and you'll spend so much time. >> look for those and get some cuticle scissors. and work on your skills for the electric staple gun. carter, great to have you with us. for more diy home improvement tips logon to our website, earl,, i spend three hours on my homework -- or at least that's what my mom thinks. with high speed internet from at&t, i get my homework done fast, leaving me time to download movies and music and chat with my friends.
