Black Friday
Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. On this day, most major retailers open extremely early and offer promotional sales to kick off the holiday shopping season, similar to Boxing Day sales in many Commonwealth Nations. Black Friday is not an official holiday, but many non-retail employers also observe this day as a holiday along with Thanksgiving, giving their employees the day off, thereby increasing the number of potential shoppers. It has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year since 2005, although news reports, which at that time were inaccurate, have described it as the busiest shopping day of the year for a much longer period of time.
The day’s name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. Use of the term started before 1961 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. Later an alternative explanation began to be offered: that “Black Friday” indicates the point at which retailers begin to turn a profit, or are “in the black”.

Welcome Home.
Happy Thanksgiving 2012 to you and yours for those who celebrate.
This is a bit of a different perspective and a break from the norm as it shows on social media websites where we most likely wish each other wellness and share our plans for the goodies that we are scheduled to receive.
On this end, it has been somewhat of a tradition over the past few years, to convert to Judaism, Islam, or other non-mainstream American religions during the holiday season as it is during these times that individuals are most in need of service, which requires that certain souls put their indulgences on hold in order to assist others with the goal of enjoying a happy holiday season, so in that regard, a different perspective to consider in regards to the current slumping economy and unemployment crisis is for us to shift our focus towards developing a stronger work ethic and temporarily lessening our eat ethic to ensure continued prosperity based our decisions to act as such and simultaneously giving thanks for the abilities afforded to us that enable us to decide to control our own destiny.
Thanks to our Creator for the provisions of opportunity and privilege to enjoy our labor.
A thanks given perspective to consider.
Anthony says he committed himself to becoming a better defender this year.
With the N.B.A.’s best record, the New York Knicks have started this season by winning eight of their last nine games. Many, including long-time Knicks fan Spike Lee, credit the teams success with Anthony’s improved game play, especially on the defensive end.
“Carmelo is just playing a complete game,” Lee said. “Now for whatever reason that is, I don’t want to get into it. I don’t know. But there is a distinct difference in what he is doing now and when he first put on a Knicks uniform.”
While Anthony has always been known for his ability to score-at-will, his defense has often been criticized as being one of the only things lacking from his game. His former Denver Nuggets coaches have often wondered why Anthony has never shown the same tenacity on the defensive end, as he does on the offensive end.
Anthony dunks two of his game-high 30 points in a 84-104 win against the Miami Heat on Nov. 2
Anthony says he committed himself to becoming a better defender this year.
“I know I can do [play defense],” Anthony said. “It’s not a matter of me not being able to do it. It was me just saying, ‘OK, I’m going to do it now.’
Lee thinks Anthony’s improved defense is the result of him playing with former MVP’s Kobe Bryant and LeBron James at last summer’s London Olympics. Teammate J.R. Smith, who also played alongside Anthony in Denver, says Anthony’s improved play is the result of him getting tired of not being able to make it past the first round of the playoffs.
Knicks center Tyson Chandler says he is so impressed with Anthony’s improved play that he considers him the league’s leading candidate for MVP.
“He should be at the top of the race right now,” Chandler said. “We’re playing the best basketball, and he’s playing all over the floor on both ends.”

Economics
Economics is the social science that analyzes the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. The term economics comes from the Ancient Greek οἰκονομία (oikonomia, “management of a household, administration”) from οἶκος (oikos, “house”) + νόμος (nomos, “custom” or “law”), hence “rules of the house(hold)”.
Political economy was the earlier name for the subject, but economists in the late 19th century suggested ‘economics’ as a shorter term for ‘economic science’ that also avoided a narrow political-interest connotation and as similar in form to ‘mathematics’, ‘ethics’, and so forth.Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics

In The 80's With Bishop Don Magic Juan
“And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.”
Matthew 10:36
Im my honest opinion and mine alone, it would take a significantly high degree of mastery in the craft known as Pimpology, to be willing and able to recite a tough to stomach jewel such as the one listed above and allow each and every individual who was, is, and will be in observance to weigh the truth of the matter with their own thinking and feeling faculties afforded and endowed to each and everyone by their Creator and subsequently face the ridicule of others who accept answers from more conventional and popularly accepted sources which may in fact be of less accuracy but better in helping individuals to gain acceptance from their peers within their individual social networks.
Again, this is simply the opinion of I, Rylan Branch, inspired and written on Tuesday November 20, 2012.

Smartphone
A smartphone is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more advanced computing capability and connectivity than a feature phone. The first smartphones combined the functions of a personal digital assistant (PDA) with a mobile phone. Later models added the functionality of portable media players, low-end compact digital cameras, pocket video cameras, and GPS navigation units to form one multi-use device. Many modern smartphones also include high-resolution touchscreens and web browsers that display standard web pages as well as mobile-optimized sites. High-speed data access is provided by Wi-Fi and Mobile Broadband.
The mobile operating systems (OS) used by modern smartphones include Google’s Android, Apple’s iOS, Nokia’s Symbian, RIM’s BlackBerry OS, Samsung’s Bada, Microsoft’s Windows Phone, Hewlett-Packard’s webOS, and embedded Linux distributions such as Maemo and MeeGo. Such operating systems can be installed on many different phone models, and typically each device can receive multiple OS software updates over its lifetime.

Idi Amin
Idi Amin Dada (mid-1920s – 16 August 2003) was third President of Uganda from 1971 to 1979. Amin joined the British colonial regiment, the King’s African Rifles in 1946, serving in Somalia and Kenya. Eventually, Amin held the rank of Major General in the post-colonial Ugandan Army and became its Commander before seizing power in the military coup of January 1971, deposing Milton Obote. He later promoted himself to Field Marshal while he was the head of state.
Amin’s rule was characterised by human rights abuse, political repression, ethnic persecution, extrajudicial killings, nepotism, corruption, and gross economic mismanagement. The number of people killed as a result of his regime is estimated by international observers and human rights groups to range from 100,000 to 500,000. During his years in power, Amin shifted in allegiance from being a pro-Western ruler enjoying considerable Israeli support, to being backed by Libya’s Muammar al-Gaddafi, the Soviet Union and East Germany. In 1975–1976, Amin became the Chairman of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), a Pan-Africanist group designed to promote solidarity of the African states.[6] During the 1977–1979 period, Uganda was a member of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. In 1977, when Britain broke diplomatic relations with Uganda, Amin declared he had defeated the British and added “CBE”, for “Conqueror of the British Empire”, to his title. Radio Uganda then announced his entire title: “His Excellency President for Life, Field Marshal Alhaji Dr. Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, CBE”.
Dissent within Uganda and Amin’s attempt to annex the Kagera province of Tanzania in 1978 led to the Uganda–Tanzania War and the demise of his eight-year regime – leading Amin to flee to exile first to Libya, then to Saudi Arabia where he lived until his death on 16 August 2003.
