There are many websites that collect and post black friday deals 2010, many of which are leaked before the official release dates. Savvy shoppers know how to use these sites to plan ahead for the big day.
Now for some advice, like making sure entrances are set up to slowly filter shoppers in rather than encouraging a stampede, have store maps available, and use a ticket system for hot items: the first in line are then assured the deal, no pushing necessary.
I especially like the suggestion to have a second set of doorbuster deals later in the day, and being clear about price matching policies makes good sense.
Other suggestions are, well, a bit of a yawn. A suggesting to serve refreshments is nice, but telling retailers to train employees and open more checkouts seems out of place.
It's Black Friday, what retailer doesn't know to train its employees? If it's not already doing this as a matter of course, there are problems in the business model beyond being able to handle the busiest shopping day of the year.
And if a store doesn't have every available check out lane open on Black Friday when running a promotion, then it probably doesn't deserve the business.
Don't run identical promotions both in store and online. There's nothing more frustrating, or even insulting, to shoppers who brave the elements and come out first thing in the morning than finding out someone ordered up the same item from the comfort of home.
Online deals are a great idea, but try running different ones from those in stores. Be clear about availability ahead of time and let your customers decide which is more important.
Locate doorbuster deals in multiple areas of the store, this helps keep the press of people down a bit. And make store employees easily identifiable in a crowd.
Consider having them carry signs with the store logo or an "I" for "Information," so that shoppers can locate them and more quickly find what they need.
Retailers still have seven weeks until Black Friday. Proper planning is everything. Do any Black Friday veterans have some ideas to share?
IT'S ME!!

I Want A Trophy!
A trophy in the Playstation Network actually. But before that, I also want a PSN code generator software! Yes, I want a lot of things.
Trophies are an accomplishment tracking system, introduced in the PlayStation 3 system software 2.40 update in July 2008.
The four different types of trophies; bronze, silver, gold and platinum are awarded to players for making specific accomplishments (e.g. Completing a level or defeating a certain number of enemies) or reaching certain milestones in games (e.g. reaching a "pro" rank online).
Maybe I should try to get a bronze trophy first before searching for a working Playstation network code generator online?
Anyway, a gold, silver or bronze trophy is normally awarded based on the difficulty of the accomplishment with each trophy contributing to a 'level' system linked to a player's PlayStation Network profile, with gold trophies contributing more experience level advancement than silver, and silver contributing more experience than bronze.
A platinum trophy is automatically awarded to the player once they unlock all other trophies in a game, excluding extra trophies that can only be obtained through downloadable content, and contribute more experience than a gold trophy.
However, smaller games such as certain PlayStation Network titles, lack a platinum trophy. Trophies are displayed on a player's PlayStation Network profile screen, which also shows their level.
On November 20, 2008, Sony announced that trophy support would be mandatory for all games submitted to Sony for certification from the beginning of January 2009.

UFC 113 SOPCast
It's time to SOPCast once again. Why? Because I want to watch UFC 113 live stream video online tonight. From Abu Dhabi, UFC 113 goes to the largest city in the province of Quebec - Montreal. UFC 113 live stream match will start at 22:00 ET or 19:00 PT.
UFC 113 live stream presents the UFC light-heavyweight champion rematch or the part 2 bout between Lyoto Machida and Mauricio Rua. Shogun Rua gets another shot to steal Machida's light heavyweight belt.
The two fighters first met on UFC 104 where Machida won via a controversial unanimous decision: 48–47, 48–47, 48–47. Most of the UFC fans said that Shogun should have won the match but that's not what the judges saw in the fight.
According to California State Athletic Commission, Machida won $200,000 with no win bonus while Rua won $250,000. Due to the controversial win of Machida, Rua received his full pay including his win bonus.
Though, Rua seemed to have dominated the fight in UFC 104, he wasn't able to takedown Machida and maybe that's what the judges wanted to see but it didn't happen.
Machida controlled the fight and reamined focus. In order to wash away all the controversies that happened in UFC 104, Machida and Rua should face each other again to prove who deserves to be the Light Heavyweight champion.

Heart For Mayweather vs Mosley
In boxing all men are not created equal and certain fighters have more heart than others. This Saturday when the opening bell for the Mayweather vs Mosley live stream fight sounds it is almost inevitable that a test of wills will ensue at certain points of the bout.
Both of these ring legends talk with extreme confidence in their abilities but which truly is the bigger warrior inside? Our boxing picks staff took an in-depth look inside these two gifted athletes to find out which has the bigger ticker.
Boxing Picks Analysis: Floyd “Money” Mayweather likes being undefeated to a fault. Throughout boxing their have been world-class pugs that were allergic to taking on the bad asses of their division at certain points of their career.
Mayweather, along with Mike Tyson, Roy Jones Jr. and even Sugar Ray Leonard have dodged opponents. Shane Mosley has never dodged anybody. This fact is one reason why we believe that Mosley is actually more confident in his fistic abilities.
Floyd knows his strengths and weaknesses to a tee and that has served him well over his brilliant career. As cocky as the “Pretty Boy” is however, he knows that his brittle hands, lack of one-punch KO power and unwillingness to take one to give one make him mortal.
