5 Things: What NOT To Buy On Black Friday

[Your Song of the Day]

1. Weather report: Today will be cloudy with some partial sunshine coming later in the day. Expect a high of 48 degrees. Tonight will bring partly cloudy skies and an overnight low of 30 degrees. Things should warm up a bit tomorrow.

2. Black Friday shopper? I am sure you have specific items on your must-buy list, but some things are better left alone this holiday season. Dealnews suggests avoiding certain items right now in order to get better bargains later. This includes toys, brand name HDTVs, Christmas decorations and office supplies. See the full list.

3. Patch Fact: Botany is the branch of biology concerned with the study of plants. More than 260,000 species of plants grow in all parts of the world

4. Clumsy dinner guests? If one of your Thanksgiving guests gets a little crazy with their wine glass and spills on your nice tablecloth, there is still hope. Simply cover the spill with artificial sweetener and let it sit. Then, just brush it off and rinse the tablecloth with cold water.

5. Digital history. The Concord Monitor reports that the N.H. Historical Society is working to put its entire catalogue into a digital format. This includes 31,000 museum pieces, 250,000 photos and 2 million pages of manuscripts.
