Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:22:39 GMT

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are two of the busiest shopping days of the year, and with the increase in shoppers comes the increased chance for shopping scams. Several ways scammers dupe consumers are through the use of fake stores, gift cards and shipping notifications, local law enforcement officials said. According to the Glendale Police Department, one tactic scammers employ is the use of fake stores to advertise great deals on social media. “When you click on the link it takes you to a lookalike website of a major brand,” Glendale police said. “However, the gifts you order will never arrive.” To avoid these types of scams, law enforcement officials recommend checking the spelling of the URL, as fake sites often have one letter that is off.  L.A. shoppers heading out early to snag Black Friday deals Fake gift cards are another common type of scam. “Scammers like to watch sites that sell gift cards,” law enforcement officials said. “They look for oppor...

Stanford must beat Notre Dame to avoid embarrassing distinction

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:22:39 GMT

STANFORD — Stanford’s season finale Saturday against No. 17 Notre Dame will be a chance to retain the Legends Trophy and go into the offseason on a high note. It will also be one last opportunity to avoid being the only FBS team to go winless at home this season.“We haven’t won a single game at home this year,” quarterback Ashton Daniels said. “That’s extremely frustrating for us, so we’re going to have a lot of the motivation and fire.”The Cardinal (3-8) has lost all six games at Stanford Stadium under first-year coach Troy Taylor. Part of that is due to the schedule. Stanford has hosted No. 4 Washington, No. 6 Oregon and No. 16 Arizona, and UCLA was ranked 25th when it came to The Farm.But Stanford also lost its home opener to Sacramento State, an FCS team that is 4-4 in the Big Sky Conference. It fell to 0-6 at home last when it lost to Cal. Oddly, the Cardinal has a winning road record (3-2).“You want to win them all, but obviously being at home is ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:22:39 GMT

I have this vision of how holiday decorating is supposed to be, probably because I’ve watched too many Hallmark movies: Nat King Cole crooning carols in the background, as everyone takes joyful turns hanging ornaments and stockings.In reality, the kids are in their rooms plugged into their devices, a fight has ensued over tangled strands of half-dead Christmas lights and chaos reigns.Holidays so often seem better in the abstract.After decades of feeling like the decorating process is too much work and too little fun, I decided there had to be a better way. I’ve figured out a few shortcuts that result in getting the decorating done faster with a better look and less cursing. I also spoke with Orlando organizer Kim Krogh, who validated my ideas and offered more of her own.The mulled results boil down to three practices: Limit your décor. Coordinate colors for cohesion.
