    Black Friday Savings

    Those that know me well know that by day I am an advertising consultant. One of my favorite times is “Black Friday”. Black Friday, is the day after Thanksgiving that has become sport in our great country. The greatest thing about Black Friday is the sales! Offers you can’t find any other time of the year!

    Why is it called Black Friday? It is the day that retailers move from the red to the black on their profit sheets. They run 11 months losing money and make about 90% of their money from Thanksgiving to Christmas.

    bfads is a site dedicated to Black Friday sales. It will allow customers to purchase sale items online w/o having to wait in line at 5AM and will also send custom email alerts to let consumers know when items they are looking for come up for sale and where. Without a plan, you are dead on Black Friday, with a good plan, you can save a ton! bfads helps you put together your savings attack plan!

    Here is an example of Dick’s Sporting Goods Specials. A quick check of the site shows over 50 vendors w/ thousands of products for perusal. Something for everyone.

    Make the most of your Black Friday shopping with bfads

    2008 Little League Championship Weekend Television Schedule

    Found this information at Little League’s site and though you would be interested in it. I was surprised about all of the extra coverage ESPN is offering. This tournament is out of control! Awesome!

    SATURDAY (AUGUST 23)
    12:30 p.m. (ABC):
    International Championship – Japan (Edogawa Minami Little League,Tokyo) vs. Mexico (Matamoros Little League, Matamoros, Tamaulipas)
    3:30 p.m. (ABC): United States Championship – U.S. West (Waipio Little League, Waipahu, Hawaii) vs. Southwest (South Lake Charles Little League, Lake Charles, Louisiana)

    SUNDAY (AUGUST 24)
    Noon, ESPN:
    Consolation Game
    2 p.m., ESPN: Little League Webgems Show
    2:30 p.m., ESPN: Little League Baseball World Series Preview Show
    3:30 p.m., ABC: Little League Baseball World Series Championship

    Word to the wise! When Hawaii won the world series a couple of years back I Tivo’d it and was smart enough to extend it for 3 hours beyond the time it was scheduled to end. The game went into extra innings, no problemo right? Ummm….WRONG.

    At the end of the sixth inning they moved it over to ESPN for the seventh and final walk off home run. I missed it. Don’t know the answer for this, other than maybe record ESPN as well? What if they move it to ESPN2? Trouble, trouble, trouble.
