To display information about your delayed bag, please enter your 10-character file reference number (PIR) and last name and click Submit.
If you can't find your baggage at the airport terminal, the first step is to go to the baggage services desk. You can normally find the desk in the Arrivals hall near to the baggage claim area.
When you're there, you will need to fill out a report. This report will have a unique reference number, which helps us to trace your baggage as quickly and efficiently as possible. The more information you can give us about your baggage – the colour, make, identifying marks and more – the better.
Enter your reference number into our online baggage tracker. We'll give you a number you can call to track your baggage, which you can also use to change your details or delivery address if necessary.
Once you've completed the report, you don't need to do anything else at the moment. We're working hard to reunite you with your bags and will be in touch when we find them.
If you left the airport without filling in a report, please call us at your local Emirates office as soon as possible.
We do everything we can to reunite you with your baggage. But if you haven't received your baggage within three days, you will need to fill in a Baggage Inventory form. We'll give you this form when you report your delayed bags, or if you've already left the airport, please contact us and we'll email the form to you.
Send the completed inventory to the email address on the form, along with these documents:
At this stage we recommend you register a claim on your travel insurance to cover the loss of your bags.
Once we've found your bags and they've been approved by customs, we'll be in touch immediately to arrange a delivery time.
If your baggage arrives damaged, we'll help you at the airport's baggage services office. They will ask you to fill in a report.
If you leave the airport without making a claim and find your baggage is damaged when you arrive at your destination, report it to us at your nearest Emirates office. If you're in Dubai, you can call +971 4 214 4433.
Follow the same process above if you find items missing from your bags.
If you're on a flight out of the USA, the Transport Security Administration (TSA) may have removed items from your bag deemed to be contraband or dangerous. You can register a claim with the TSA(Opens an external website in a new tab) to check whether this has happened.
If you've lost a piece of your property on board one of our aircraft, please contact the lost property office at the airport where your flight landed. You can also check our complete list of airports serving Emirates flights to find out the contact details of the airport where you landed. The customer service agents there will be able to help you.
Many bags look alike, so it's important to avoid anyone picking up your bags by mistake. Make your baggage stand out by personalising it with tags, stickers or ribbons.
Always tie an identification tag to each checked item with your name, address and contact details. We can give you a tag at the check-in counter if you don't already have one.
We recommend you don't leave valuables in your checked-in bags. That could include jewellery, computers and electronic devices, keys, important documents (including passports) and medication or medical equipment that can't be replaced quickly.
Please also make sure your baggage is sufficiently robust, well packed and secured. It will need to withstand the normal rigours of air travel without getting damaged.
Read through our delayed and damaged baggage FAQs for more information. You can also read our conditions of carriage(Opens in a new tab) , including our baggage liability section. And check what you can bring in and out of Dubai through Customs(Opens an external website in a new tab).

Australian Sheepskin Booties
Conquer Cold Toes and Ankles With Our Plush Sheepskin Slippers
Rated 4.8 out of 5Â by 49 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Shopping enthusiast These booties fit well and keep my feet warm during the cold months here in Florida. The houses are built of stone and the floors are mostly stone. Every item I have purchased from your store was a quality item at a reasonable price. The people on the phone were always helpful and courteous. You have many hard to find items. Can't say anything negative about my shopping experience. March 4, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Wiley Gorgeous and toasty Much colder nights than usual here in California so these arrived at the perfect time! Furnace on the fritz so I would have had frozen feet without these lovely slippers. They not only feel wonderful, they are gorgeous to look at. Keep my feet perfectly toasty! Love 'em! February 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Rckylvr Super Slippers!! These booties are so warm, so comfy and the fit is great. In the past I had a pair of Australian sheepskin slippers that were just wonderful. After many years I finally had to discard them. After doing a google search I discovered your slippers. I love them!! After wearing them they are just like my old pair...soft, warm, comfortable, great fit and I'm sure will wear as well as the old pair. Thanks for a great product February 21, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Stardog My family loves them Last year I bought for Christmas a pair for me and a pair for my wife. We loved them!!! They are so warm and comfortable. We wear them all the time. My daughters & grand-daughter admired them so much that I bought a pair for all of them. Now they don't take them off. They wear them all the time too. February 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ranch Nurse So Warm and Comfortable Living in the Oklahoma/Texas Panhandles, we never know for sure if the weather forecast is accurate. One day it will be 70 degrees outside and the next day the temperature may drop to 24 degrees with a 10 to 15 mph north wind. On the warm day, we are looking for cooler shoes, no socks. Then on the cold days with frigid air, we need our slippers. Cold feet makes you feel cold all over, but with these sheepskin booties, my feet are warm, toasty and the softness is so very comfortable. I hate to take them off to go anywhere. January 28, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by thb Coziest of all slippers These slippers feel wonderful and last a long time. Your feet will love them. January 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BAS My "Happy Feet" These were recommended by a 91 year old very active friend and was she ever right! Hers are still being worn daily when she returns home from shopping, etc. Very active lady. Mine fit perfectly and are very comfortable for my diabetic neuropathy feet. I have sometimes chilly hard wood floors, so I really appreciate these beautiful, functional slipper. The indoor/ outdoor soles are sturdy and provide the support I need which no other of my slippers have done. January 17, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Candice53 Outstanding Booties These booties are top-notch. They keep my feet nice and warm and they wear great. January 11, 2016

Good Samaritan Ministries giving extra for Thanksgiving
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - For days now, Thanksgiving boxes have been going out the doors of Good Samaritan Ministries, and they're not done yet as the holiday approaches.
Volunteers at Good Samaritan Ministries in Johnson City have been preparing Thanksgiving boxes for those in need for weeks now. Now those boxes are headed out the back door just in time for the holiday meal. "So far it's 394 families that have actually got their boxes, got their turkeys and they're excited about that. Then we've got more coming today, all day long, and of course we're concerned about the weather tomorrow on the big day," director Sarah Wells says.
A close look into those boxes reveals there's more in there than just enough for a Thanksgiving meal. "We make sure that they have a lot more, and this year our boxes are 75 pounds. They're getting a lot more. They're getting soups, spaghetti, all of those things that can last longer. That food box is going to last quite a bit longer," she said.
So it doesn't take long to deplete the ministry's pantry, but with the help of sponsors they'll be doing even more for Thanksgiving by giving out meals. "These are fully-cooked meals from Food City. They've got the turkey and all the trimmings, and everything that they have need for their family. It's very large," the director said.
Wells tells us the cuts in the SNAP food assistance program at the first of the month has made the need much greater this year. "About two weeks prior, people were lined up here. My offices were full. They were outside waiting to get in trying to get food because their fear was how much was going to be cut. They just knew to be afraid," she said.
That fear turns into more demands on those trying to help.

|In response to Re: Changing tub/shower fixtures, any ideas?
You didn't really say which parts of the tub/shower valve you wanted to replace (cosmetic pieces or everything), but if you want to replace all of the components, it will involve a lot of work including removing and replacing a good portion of the tiled partition to get at the valve body. You will not be able to replace the drain assembly for the tub unless you can access both behind and below the tub, or remove the tub altogether. You can replace the shower arm and head, valve handles, and tub spout without much fuss as long as you can get them off easily (which might not be easy after 28 years of scale and rust). If you can do that, you should be able to bring the old parts to a home improvement store and find replacements that match the spline/pipe sizes.
Home Depot has a good (but pretty rudimentary) primer called Home Improvement 1-2-3, and I'm sure they will carry other primers, that will show you the hidden parts of the valve and drain assemblies and give you an idea of the kind of task you might face.
: I have a 28 yr. old home that needs the faucets updated. I'm motivated enough to do the exchange myself but want it to go smooth like butter. I've searched the web and really can't find a primer for this task.
: The tub/shower is encased with 4 1/4" tile. It has 6 pieces to it. (1)Shower nozzle, (2&3)hot & cold knobs, (4) knob for drain (which doesn't work now!), (5)a metal disk piece near the top of the tub that appears to be somekind of overflow piece, (6)the drain ring with a stopper that has a handle you twist to stop the water drain.
: Do I need to know exactly what brand I currently have because I'll need to buy that same brand again or can I change brands? Is there anything in the interior of the wall plumbing wise I have to be concerned about? How do you change the drain portion? Is there anything (probably so) that I'm missing or need answers for? Thanks

Visitors and new students can get a sneak peak of North Carolina's urban research university even before they step foot on UNC Charlotte's 1,000-acre campus. With the online virtual tour, students and visitors can learn about the buildings and programs on campus prior to making a visit in person.
The online virtual tour provides students with a photo-realistic image of campus showcasing departments, athletic facilities, on-campus housing, places of interest, and academic buildings.
"Until they see the aerial view of campus, most students don't realize how large our campus is, and how many buildings and facilities UNC Charlotte has," says Lisa Meckley, division communications manager for enrollment management. "With the virtual tour, it's easy to preview the campus and see how much we have to offer."
Alumni have also enjoyed seeing how their campus has changed over the years. Those who haven't had a chance to return to campus are amazed when they see how much the campus has grown since they were students.
The University's Master Plan calls for a continued focus on building a people-oriented campus committed to sustainability, efficiency and social interaction. Thoughtful land use planning preserves and celebrates the range of natural landscapes and forested areas on campus to foster a sense of sustainable growth.
The virtual tour offers search functionality by keyword, a drop-down list of locations and departments/services, and "layers" which highlight categories such as academic buildings, parking areas, recreation fields, and more.

Last week, NBC held its upfronts, presentations where the network debuts their fall slate of programming to advertisers, and the rest of the world peeks in to find out what new delights/horrors television has in store for them come the new season. Completely surprising no one was the fact that David E. Kelley's Wonder Woman, starring Adrianne Palicki, was not on the schedule, mostly because reports of its demise had been flying fast and furious the week before that.
NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt said that they felt Wonder Woman wasn't the right "fit" for their lineup, which is an interesting choice of words when you consider all the online hubbub surrounding her costume, which downplayed her patriotic (American) side and was ridiculously shiny and uncoordinated. The costume was later tweaked, but that didn't stop people from tittering at unflattering photos of Adrienne Palicki in action.
Wonder Woman may not be saving the day now, but Empowered still came to her rescue after those photos were released, following up her comments on the script with new commentary about the trials and travails of being an attractive costumed heroine, as well as which female cast member of Friday Night Lights was hotter: Adrienne Palicki or Minka Kelly?

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (From Sprinkles Cupcakes)
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
My sister got this buttercream frosting off the box of a Sprinkles Cupcake mix, made famous by Oprah. My sister said this was amazing. Update: I have finally gotten around to making this myself. I will say, that I don't like my desserts overly sweet and. though this was very good, I think I would probably decrease the amount of sugar for my personal taste. I'm glad everyone else has liked it as-is, though. :)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 1⁄2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- In a bowl combine butter, sugar and salt. Beat till blended.
- Add the milk and vanilla and beat for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until smooth and creamy.

I made this frosting last week when I was trying to duplicate CakeLove's 44 cupcake. It was delicious and I had rave reviews from my family. I just made the frosting again today and tweaked it to suit my own taste. I thought the frosting was too sweet and difficult to spread, so to fix that I only used 3 cups of powdered sugar, two TBS of half & half (instead of the milk), and I added 1/4 tsp of Cream of Tartar to help stabilize it. Otherwise I followed the directions. It turned out exactly as I wanted it to. I was able to spread it easily and it wasn't too sweet. It would be perfect for the 44 cupcake since that has caramel drizzled over the top. It was just too sweet for me in the original recipe. I love how easy this is to make!
Excellent!! I halved the recipe and frosted 17 cupcakes with it. I left out the salt and used salted butter. Worked great.
Never had Sprinkles cupcakes but based on the reviews thought I'd give it a try. This is very yummy! I usually don't even eat frosting and I scrape it off anything that has it cause I don't like that thick greasy feel it leaves in your mouth. These don't do that, they are great texture and flavor - not to mention super easy! I made exactly as directed and added some food coloring to make them pink roses. Thanks for sharing!! UPDATE: Since my first review I've now made this to frost cupcakes several times and love it more each time! Everyone raves when I make these! I like sweet with a little salty taste to it so I use salted sweet cream butter, softened on the counter top, and I use kosher salt where it calls for salt. This pipes on beautifully and just looks great in any color - with or without sprinkles! Thanks again for sharing!

The folks at Skype (now a part of Microsoft) recently launched an Android tablet version of their ubiquitous voice/video chat app. The tablet's larger display is well-suited to video chatting, particularly for conference calls with multiple participants. The beauty of Skype is its platform-agnostic design, as well as the bottom-line benefit that Skype-to- Skype video and voice calls are free over 3G and Wi-Fi. Indeed, the Skype app is a must-have for Android tablet owners. Skype users running Android 2.3 or newer can access both front- and rear-facing cameras -- assuming they have both -- but those stuck with (shudder) Android 2.2 or older can only access the tablet's rear camera.

Petco Park is home of Major League Baseball's San Diego Padres. And now, for three days next February, it will also be home to the U.S. Davis Cup team.
San Diego's Petco Park has been selected as the site for the 2014 Davis Cup by BNP Paribas First Round tie between the U.S. and Great Britain, to be held Jan. 31, through Feb. 2. The best-of-five match series will be played on a temporary clay-court stadium to be built in left field.
The tie will mark the first time Davis Cup will be played in an open air baseball stadium in the U.S. and the first time the U.S. Davis Cup team has hosted a tie on clay since the 1992 semifinals, when the U.S. defeated Sweden in Minneapolis.
The players for each team will be named no later than 10 days prior to the start of competition. For the U.S., Captain Jim Courier has named John Isner, Sam Querrey and the world No. 1 doubles squad of Bob and Mike Bryan to his team for the last three ties. 2012 US Open and 2013 Wimbledon champion Andy Murray is expected to compete for Great Britain.
"Our squad is ready to go up against a tough adversary in the British squad," said Courier. "Andy Murray is one of the strongest players in the sport, and we expect our home crowd to come out and support us in what will be a thrilling Davis Cup tie."
"We are proud to bring Davis Cup to San Diego and tennis to Petco Park," added Padres President & CEO Mike Dee. "This ballpark was built on the promise of being a multi-use venue that would bring year-round events to San Diego. We look forward to seeing the transformation of left field into a state-of-the-art clay-court tennis venue."
The United States-Great Britain rivalry is the oldest in Davis Cup history, dating back to the first competition in 1900, when the U.S. defeated Great Britain in Boston. The U.S. holds an 11-7 advantage overall and has won the past four ties.
The two nations last faced off in the 1999 World Group first round in England, a 3-2 U.S. victory secured when Courier rallied in the fifth-and-decisive match to defeat Greg Rusedski, 8-6 in the fifth set. Courier also won a five-set match on the opening day of that tie, defeating Tim Henman in 4 hours, 12 minutes. The 1999 tie was the only meeting between the two nations under the current World Group format.
This will be the third consecutive home tie for the U.S. Davis Cup team, which is looking to win its first Davis Cup crown since 2007 and a record 33rd overall in its history. The U.S. defeated Brazil in Jacksonville, Fla., in the 2013 first round before falling to Serbia in Boise, Idaho, in the quarterfinals. Overall, the U.S. is 110-17 in ties played at home.

Mens Shoes!
"Nowhere in the description does it mention that these are men SIZED shoes. I ordered a 10 (my size) and when I received them, they are a MENS size 10 (which is an 11.5 in womens)! That would mean I would need to order an 8.5???? Not sure and not willing to keep going back and forth, so BACK they go. Too bad, cuz they are pretty cute! :)"

Huge but adorable
"I am normally a size 8 in sneakers, so the first pair I ordered was the navy in a size 8 - they were huge! And pretty dark as far as navy goes. I exchanged them for a size 7 in the burgundy. I never thought they'd fit, I figured I probably fell right at a 7.5, which they don't offer. But they actually fit perfectly and still fell off my ankle slightly when I didn't have socks on. My suggestion: go for a size down, especially if you're between sizes, and get the red - they're adorable, if you like the look of a Converse sneaker but like a little more width and durability."

The veterans were honored in a special ceremony on Veteran's Day at the Emery park. Merlin Christiansen welcomed the crowd. The San Rafael junior high choir sang the Star Spangled Banner and the audience recited the pledge of allegiance. A moment of silence was also observed in remembrance of Veterans and their sacrifices for the United States of America.
Christiansen said it was a great moment to come together for the unveiling of the new plaque honoring Emery Veterans. He said the old plaque has been in place for 50 years honoring those serving in World War I and II. Christiansen said he appreciated Judi Riddle at the city office for helping him with the project and the city council for funding the project. Ken Christiansen poured the new cement surrounding the monument and he worked with his son Kent on cleaning up the old plaque and making the names more visible.
Merlin said the monument is to honor all Veterans abroad and on the homefront. He said six people from Emery have lost their lives in defense of their country and paid the ultimate price for freedom. He honored wives and mothers who sent their men off to war and suffered great hardships in doing so.
Mike Williams, mayor of Emery Town spoke next. He said that throughout the country on this day, ceremonies are being held to honor those who have perished in war; the brave men and women who have risked their lives to protect and promote peace and to pronounce their ideals. More people now live under a democratic rule than at any other point in history. Our nation is stronger because of those willing to serve and sacrifice.
Williams explained the origins of Veteran's Day which used to be called Armistice Day marking the end of World War I on Nov. 11, 1918. It was changed to Veteran's Day to honor all Veterans from all wars and those dying in service to their country. He said he is proud of the Williams name on the plaque and his family members who have served their country. "I hope this plaque will be a place to come and remember those who have served," said Williams.
Merlin Christiansen and Boyd Jacobsen were invited by the mayor to take care of the unveiling of the new plaque.
The choir sang God Bless America to close the program. The audience came forward to admire the new plaque and find names of friends and loved ones.

NEWTON, Mass., Aug. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- TripAdvisor®, the world's largest travel site*, today announced the results of its annual fall and Labor Day travel survey of more than 1,600 U.S. respondents. Eighty-six percent of travelers are planning leisure trips this fall, compared to 74 percent that said they traveled for fun last autumn. Fifty-six percent are planning weekend getaway trips this autumn, and 35 percent have one week trips in store.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080902/TRIPADVISORLOGO )
Travelers Unafraid to Open Wallets
Seventy-six percent of respondents said their fall travel plans are not affected by recent economic news. Thirty-seven percent of travelers intend to spend more than they did last fall on leisure trips, while 46 percent plan to spend about the same amount. Nearly half of travelers (48 percent) feel the fall is the most economical season to travel.
Top 3 Fall Trip Types:
1. City trip – 40%
2. Cultural trip – 28%
3. Beach trip – 27%
Top 3 Fall Activities:
1. View colorful fall foliage – 43%
2. Wine tasting/visiting a vineyard – 29%
3. Attend a state/county fair or fall festival – 23%
Top 5 U.S. Destinations Travelers Plan to Visit this Autumn:
1. New York City
2. Las Vegas
3. Orlando
4. Chicago
5. San Francisco
Labor Day Escapes
Twenty-eight percent of travelers intend to travel for Labor Day weekend this year, equal to those that said they planned to in last year's survey. Among those traveling for the holiday, 60 percent expect to drive, and 34 percent plan to fly. Twenty-six percent will take an outdoors trip, 24 percent will take a city escape and another 24 percent will take a beach trip. Forty-seven percent will see family and friends for the holiday weekend. The worst part of traveling for Labor Day is the traffic, according to 40 percent of respondents, while 16 percent cited it being depressing that Labor Day represents the end of summer.
Other Fall Travel Tidbits:
"While Labor Day represents the end of summer vacations for some, it also signals the beginning of shoulder season deals and fewer crowds at popular destinations for travelers able to schedule fall getaways," said Karen Drake, senior director of communications for TripAdvisor.

In the first-ever 2-A Utah State swim meet, the Emery High boys and Emery High girls each finished second in their division as the Spartans had their best state finish ever.
After having competed in the 3-A ranks for years, the Activities Association finally staged a meet for the smaller schools with swim teams and North Summit edged the Emery girls and Rowland Hall edged the Emery boys for the respective championships.
Laryssa Guymon was the lone state champion for either team as she won the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 1:11.16, two and half seconds faster than the next racer. Guymon finished second in the 200-yard individual medley and swam on two third-place relay teams.
Spencer Fauver led the boy's team with two second place finishes. Fauver was second in the 50-yard freestyle and in the 100-yard freestyle. Fauver also swam on the 200-yard medley relay team and the 400-yard freestyle relay team. Each team finished second.
Complete story in the next issue of the Emery Progress.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

Every time we look at our blind, we enjoy it all over again. It's well crafted, beautiful and efficiently screens both light and heat. What more could we ask?View this product
"Fabulous look"

These blinds are wonderful. Easy to operate and look great. Cost was much less than other places I shopped. A little difficult to install (instructions could be improved, we called twice for help). Other than that, we are very pleased.View this product

Womens HydroSkin 1 5 Jacket
Shopping Info
|NRS Women's HydroSkin 1.5 mm Jacket - The Women's HydroSkin 1.5 Jacket by NRS is the thickest and warmest of the HydroSkin offerings. Made of 1.5 mm HydroSkin Terraprene neoprene with heat-reflecting titanium, this jacket provide substantial warmth without restricting your movements. Thinner 0.5 mm HydroSkin panels under the arms reduce bunching for greater comfort. A 4-way stretch PowerSpan exterior stretches with your movements for unrestricted paddling while the VaporLoft fleece lining adds warmth, dries in a flash and feels great against the skin. A durable water repellent (DWR) exterior coating sheds water to help reduce evaporative cooling. The paddler-specific design puts seams where they won't cause irritation and discomfort. A convenient front-entry zipper makes the HydroSkin 1.5 Jacket easy to put on or take off as conditions change. Enjoy the warmth and versatility of the NRS Women's HydroSkin 1.5 Jacket next time you hit the water.
Click here for: Terraprene Neoprene Information
Sizing for the NRS Women's HydroSkin 1.5 Jacket:
My local pool keeps their water too cold for me during my water aerobics. This jacket is much more comfortable than my old scuba jacket. Not sure how well it will whole up to the chlorine but I rinse it for a really long time when I get out of the pool. It's perfect for me. I just wish it came in a color other than black.
I love it!! keeps me warm while I'm at the cold water pool during my class, it's so flexible and comfortable :) besides that the size chart is really trustable

Speculation: Could Kakashi's MS be incomplete Amaterasu? As is known, amaterasu is told to be fire from hell. Let's consider hell to be another dimension.
If amaterasu burns everything in its way, then it is possible, that it is completed by transfering it to another dimension, with "fire effect". What can support this speculation? When Itachi used it, he burnt everything, what was his eye focused on. When Kakashi used it against Deidara, he had to focus on him. Kakashi was able to use it against explosion. Itachi used it to counter fire jutsu. Uchiha's primary affinity is fire and primary affinity should be strongest and easiest to use. But Kakashi's primary affinity isn't fire. So we can speculate, that it is reason for no "fire effect".
Problem, of course, is right/left eye.

That actually sounds disgusting. Next time add some cold pizza too.ReplyCancel

Did someone say waffles?ReplyCancel
My dog wouldn't even go for that. Enty must be rocking one serious rumenReplyCancel
The only thing I hate about leftover Chinese food is that it can smell like a wet puppy when you reheat it in the microwave. Yes, I can guess why, but seriously….it doesn't need to punch me in the snout.ReplyCancel
…so I should definitely add bacon.ReplyCancel

Tuck. Im going off ypoic in off topic. Is anyone else completely appalled at the number of lawyers and other talking heads have actually stated that the cop in ferguson is guilty of muder and shld get convicted???!!!!! WE DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. THAT COP ISNT GOING ANYWHERE IF AND WHEN THEY NEED TO ARREST HIM. Im not on any side, and i dont disagree that police and mayer have made a complete clusterf*ck in terms of their actions. But keep in mind, WE DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! And lawyers shld know better than to convict a man before he is even arressted and charged. Everyone needs to take many steps back and let facts unfold.ReplyCancel
@liddy: Broken hearts want broken necks. While we should always wait for the facts to settle before jumping the gun so to speak, I don't think a lot of people will give a shit about the specifics. I was actually friends with the ex NFL star Demo DuBose, who was killed in Mission Beach, CA many years ago. While drunk, he was walking home when he was then misidentified as a burglary suspect, resisted the police and was killed under similar circumstances, according to what has come out so far. We don't need more blood shed, we need to start working towards real solutions together.ReplyCancel
Love cold spaghettiReplyCancel
This is almost as gross as that weird french toast and gravy thing.
You should try the Taco Bell waffle!ReplyCancel
He supposedly rushed the officer in the vehicle and attacked him first. I think they are awaiting ballistics on gun to see if dead guy dna was on gun to back up the cop's statement. We will never get the whole truth is the only truthReplyCancel
Cold Singapore chow mein to cure a hangover.ReplyCancel
Yeah that's what I've heard too sugarbread. The biggest concern is the shot to the top of the head. The main thing they are waiting on are the ones on GSR. They have not yet determined how far the officer was when he firedReplyCancel
lady h ..you are the sarah manning to my cosima.. we complete each other.. your my clone sister from another mistaReplyCancel
Oscar Meyer now sells pre-cooked bacon. It is surprisingly not bad.
It doesn't matter if that kid hit the cop or tried to grab his gun. The officer was no longer under threat of deadly force when he shot the kid. He shot a kid who was running a way, a kid–real big kid, I admit–who could easily have been arrested simply by following him in his unit and calling for backup.
LEO's in particular are drilled about this in training: you are only allowed to utilize deadly force to neutralize imminent deadly force.ReplyCancel
oh PUKE yoj
Gimme some leftover anything in the fridge and i'm coolReplyCancel
Beptofane and rajh-a version i heard was cop tried to get brown in car. Brown fought him and grabbed fir officers gun, then ran away. Cop yelled stop! Drop! But kid turned around, and charged the cop. Cop fired first, hit hom in arms. He kept charging, and cop thought he was on something, like pcp. Finslly shot him in head, prob top of head because brown was prob looking down at arm wounds by then. This scenerio is supported by gunshot wounds. It also makes sense evidence wise STILL WE DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. This is ONE account. I also really cant imagine that this cop just came up and shot brown for no readon, which ive heard bandied about.ReplyCancel
It's going to be very, very difficult for the officer to explain away the gunshot wound to the top of the kid's skull. This "bullrushing" story already sounds dubious. Why would an unarmed kid run back at a cop that had already taken a shot at him? Rushing so far bent forward that a bullet could hit the top of his skull?
It doesn't help that the St. Louis area has a pretty nasty history of race-based violence.ReplyCancel
Well, I'm a vegan who doesn't eat legumes, so…
If my username is proving to be an issue, you can use my *actual* name, which is Joy. Spelczech shouldn't have a problem with that. But to be honest, my self-esteem is such that I probably will answer to "you".
Are you skinny?ReplyCancel
Damn right, sugarbread <3ReplyCancel
my heisenboo!!ReplyCancel
Liddy I can't wait for the full toxicology report to come back. They already determined he was on weed and if anything else shows up that will be a big clue as to what happened. Plus, they haven't determined if be was shot from the front or back. I think the third and final autopsy either won't be released publicly or we wil have to wait until a trial. But I hope that one says which direction he was shot at. Yeah I've been glued to this too lol!
Breakfast was cheese, a coconut chocolate Oskri bar and coffee. Fun!ReplyCancel
@Bee Haven
Ooh, yes, green juices every day with lunch and dinner (this is my favourite: 1 cup radishes, 4 cups kale, 4 cups carrots, 4 celery sticks, 3 apples, 2 oranges, 1 bell pepper, 1 garlic clove).
I'll be honest with you, morality wasn't a strong enough motivation for me to give up animal products. I've chosen this lifestyle for selfish reasons.
After battling clinical depression (with anxiety) for several years and seeing significant improvement with medication and therapy, I plateaued. I was stable but too ill to work at getting better, does that make sense?.
I did *a lot* of research into the effect of diet on health and chose to gradually switch to a raw, vegan diet. The difference it made was immediate and dramatic. I'm now able to work full-time, exercise (which also helps my mood and energy) and…have a life!

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
It was a busy week for the Emery High boy's basketball team. It was a week that included the first game after the holiday break, the opener of region 12 action and the rematch with rival Carbon High School. The Spartans won two of three but maybe, and this is more important, they played well as a team in the final game of the week, which should bode well for the future.
Emery defeated Union 57-54 to start the week in Castle Dale, traveled to Nephi where they lost to Juab 60-49 and then defeated Carbon at home 81-67.
First to the Carbon game. Before a big crowd in the Spartan Center, Emery battled back from a 14-point second quarter deficit to grab the 14-point victory. Carbon started the game on a 5-0 run, took the lead to 14-5 before winning the first quarter 26-17. In addition, Kash Jewkes, Emery's starting center, picked up three early fouls and had to sit. Things at this point did not look promising for Emery.
Ty Benson kept Emery in the game with 12 first quarter points but Gage Bigelow did the same for Carbon. Carbon ran the lead to 33-19 to start the second quarter.Emery then went on a 10-0 run to cut the deficit to four points with Kashe Potter doing a lot of the damage for Emery.
Carbon ran the lead back to nine points at 40-31 before Emery narrowed the gap one more time to four points at the half as Carbon led 48-44. Bigelow led Carbon with 15 points and Clint Finkbiner scored 14 points. Benson scored 19 first half points to lead the Spartans and Potter chipped in 13 points. Nick Stoddard picked up foul number four in the second quarter to also be in foul trouble.
Carbon started the second half on a 5-0 run to take the lead to 53-44 after Emery had a pair of early turnovers.Emery then went on their own run and tied the score at 53-53 with 3:51 left in the period. It was at this point that Benson picked up his fourth foul of the game. Emery took their first lead of the ball game with 1:47 left in the third quarter at 57-56.
Emery outscored Carbon 19-10 in the third quarter and now led 63-58. Kashe Jewkes scored 11 points in the period as he took control in the low post and seemed to score at will. Quinn Montgomery picked up his fourth foul late in the third quarter to be the third Spartan with four fouls.
Emery took the lead to 73-58 as Emery scored the first 10 points of the final quarter. Bigelow finally hit a free throw with 4:06 left in the game to finally give Carbon a point. It had been a 29-5 run for Emery. Emery won the final period 18-9 and the ball game 81-67. With Potter and Chance Huntington also picking up their fourth personal fouls early in the fourth period, it was remarkable that only Stoddard fouled out of the game.
Jewkes led the way for Emery with 24 points, 20 in the second half, and nine rebounds. Benson finished the game with 19 first half points. Potter scored 16 points, had 10 rebounds and three assists. Montgomery scored 15 points including five of six free throws in the fourth quarter and had eight assists. Stoddard scored one point and had three rebounds. Off the bench, Chance Huntington scored four points and had 10 rebounds. Dallon Cologie came into the game when Benson got in foul trouble, scored two points but played an outstanding game in his time on the floor on both ends of the court as he gave Emery a spark.
In the Union game, Emery led 14-12 after the first quarter, the scored was tied 27-27 at the half, Emery led 43-33 after three periods and then held onto to win.
Benson led the team with 16 points but fouled out with 5:19 left in the game. Jewkes and Potter each scored 12 points and Jewkes fouled out with 2:58 left. Montgomery and Stoddard each scored six points with Gage Bell scoring three points and Huntington scoring two points.
In the loss at Juab, Emery fell behind early and stayed that way throughout the game. Juab led 47-30 after the third quarter ended before Emery had a little rally in the final period to narrow the gap. Potter led the way with 13 points, Benson scored 11 points, Jewkes scored nine points, Montgomery scored seven points, Cologie and Stoddard each scored three points, Jordan Cox scored two points and Huntington scored one point.
Emery plays twice at home this week. Wednesday they host Delta and on Friday they will host Manti as region 12 action continues. Game time for the varsity is 7 p.m.

Online retailers can reduce the number of transactions they must manually review by comparing key pieces of customer information with records kept by companies that specialize in collecting consumer data.
When it comes to online fraud, most small Internet retailers tend to act like an uninsured motorist: they know something could happen to them, but if they just hope hard enough, perhaps it won't.
In reality, there are some simple "defensive driving" steps retailers can take, regardless of their size or budget. They can learn how consumers can protect themselves from fraud and pass on that information. And they can improve customer authentication using third-party data. That will help online retailers approve transactions with more confidence and avoid the triple whammies of fraud losses, chargebacks and brand damage.
Why are small businesses at such high risk for fraud?
Let's be clear, all merchants are at risk for fraudulent activity, not just small businesses. In the most recent 2013 CyberSource Online Fraud Report it was estimated that total U.S. online revenue losses reached $3.5 billion dollars. Unfortunately, it's not hard to see why; criminals have become increasingly clever in their techniques, such as triangulation fraud, which is one of the most complex and difficult to catch.
A triangulation scam involves a thief using an intricate method of purchasing an expensive item from one online retailer using a stolen credit card, and then going to another site like eBay to resell the item to an unsuspecting individual. The transactions happen so fast that neither the original Internet merchant nor the second site purchaser realize the product was bought with a stolen card. There's just no time to do checks and balances in the merchant's back end.
This fraud is often perpetrated with an additional twist: the product isn't purchased by the criminal (with stolen payment credentials) until the legitimate consumer places an order on a fraudulent web site or posting in an online marketplace. Not only does the merchant get a fraud chargeback, but also the legitimate consumer is added to the blacklist as a fraudster because her address and name are associated with that lost product and chargeback.
Small retailers have very little time and resources to adequately prepare for this type of fraud. They are typically spread thin in staffing, with a customer service agent or treasurer bearing the onerous fraud-prevention duty. Until chargebacks become severe, fraud doesn't get much attention and, even then, the knee-jerk reaction is to reject too many good transactions and leave money on the table.
Educating customers on how to protect themselves
The responsibility for stemming the growth of online fraud does not entirely fall on the merchant; consumers definitely share in this duty.
Online banking, mobile apps, virtual check deposit and paperless statements provide a great convenience to consumers when conducted properly, but there are risks. If consumers provide their payment information or personal identity to a nefarious source they can spend years digging themselves out of a mess of identity theft or account takeover. Consumers need to utilize sufficiently strong and diverse passwords, shop online only with credit cards (avoid using debit cards that might be used to drain your bank account), check their statements regularly, and promptly report irregular activity to their card issuer.
Verifying identity
Despite the best efforts from both merchants and consumers, fraud will still happen. When you consider the limited staffing at most smaller businesses, it is so important to automate the consumer authentication processes that flags suspicious orders and reduces the number of costly manual reviews.
Small online businesses can easily implement a third-party API that feeds directly into an existing review platform. Using third-party customer information enables manual review specialists to easily find data and make more accurate decisions about the validity of transactions. The most common and easiest data to pull are phone number type, e-mail address match, and address activity. By matching key data elements to an identity, a retailer can look for variations like an e-mail or phone that does not match back to the consumer's identity. This is most likely a fraudster who has stolen a consumer's identity and is trying to get a retailer to verify an order by phone or email to an e-mail that does not belong to the legitimate consumer.
Some third-party data providers offer an identity score, which brings together various credentials and is weighted differently for different types of online businesses. It's also possible to create a master white list that includes customers whose transactions don't require any review at all (assuming there are no indications of account takeover, such as a change in shipping address or payment credentials). Utilizing an identity score can greatly expedite manual review, and keep the best customers happy with a seamless and timely shopping experience.
A true data partner will work with a small retailer to build a customizable API that fits the retailer's needs and budget. Ultimately, the result will be fewer transactions that need to be pushed to manual review, and those that are will be assessed much faster.
Small online retailers should consider proactive fraud-prevention tactics, even if resource allocation might suggest otherwise. Like auto insurance, doing without it can end up costing more in the end.
Amazon is increasingly demanding of the retailers and brands that sell it products.

Water heater insulating jackets are easy to install, and can save you hundreds of dollars on hot water heating costs over the life of the water heater.
