You may want to avoid this for leather shoes — the baking soda can dry them out. [2] X Research source You can also try sprinkling the newspaper with your favorite sweet-smelling perfume or aromatic. A few drops of vanilla extract can work especially well. [4] X Research source Coffee grounds also work well as a general-purpose odor remover. Try setting an uncovered bowl of dry grounds in the fridge. The results should be similar to what you’d get with baking soda....

Charts are a great visual aid for a poster. They are a good way to add blocks of color while adding a visual explanation of your ideas. Clip art rarely illustrates the ideas that you’re trying to get across in posters. Choose other images to help with this. Mix them up. It will help differentiate your titles from your informational text—making your titles stand out more. If you’re using your handwriting instead of computer font, mix up your writing style to add interest to your poster....

PACK RATS: For overnight excursions, look for a back-pack of 3,000 cubic inches or less, and don’t feel compelled to fill it. Meanwhile, manufacturers have finally realized that no amount of adjusting will ever make a man’s pack fit women hikers properly. The shoulder straps on the Badlands 65 are tapered for women’s smaller frames ($179; thenorthface.com). Or try the Matrix Harmonium pack with its portable sound system. Just slide your CD or MP3 player into the padded pocket, plug in the speakers and the hills are alive with the sound of music ($225; eaglecreek....

The 30-year-old began her performance on top of NRG Stadium with hundreds of lighted drones floating in the sky above her. She then dramatically jumped down onto the stage in the center of the field. Watch her full show here: ; MORE: Lady Gaga previews Super Bowl halftime show Twitter was quick to give its hilarious reaction to Lady Gaga’s performance.

The show draws from Anchorage Daily News’ investigation into the extremely high rate of sexual violence in Alaska in a series of articles collectively titled “Lawless,” which was first brought to Swank’s attention by Tom McCarthy, Alaska Daily’s showrunner. Swank spoke to Newsweek about the drama, which premieres on October 6, saying that the real case “blew [her] mind” and she felt it was immensely important to be a part of the project....

That makes him the perfect guy to take a look at the player who has, according to some scouts and NBA executives, risen to the top of draft boards around the league ahead of Kansas prospects Joel Embiid and Andrew Wiggins — forward Jabari Parker, who sits atop our mock draft. There is no guarantee that Parker, a freshman, will enter this year’s draft, but he has grabbed headlines in a season in which he has averaged 18....

A 40-second clip posted on Twitter showed Clinton dressed in robes as a child follows behind her, holding the garment up to prevent it from dragging on the ground. As she steps into the roadway, toward the university, members of the crowd begin yelling at the former U.S. Secretary of State. One person can be heard screaming “war criminal!” at least a dozen times while another individual yells for Clinton “to go f**k” herself....

Osteoarthritis is the most common type of hip arthritis. Also called wear-and-tear arthritis or degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis is characterized by progressive wearing away of the cartilage of the joint. As the protective cartilage is worn away by hip arthritis, bare bone is exposed within the joint. Hip arthritis typically affects patients over 50 years of age. It is more common in people who are overweight, and weight loss tends to reduce the symptoms associated with hip arthritis....

Iwata finished the day with eight birdies, a bogey and an eagle. He had a chance to break the record outright on the final hole, but his chip shot just veered off to the right, and he tapped in for par. MORE: Scenes from Whistling Straits | Can Tiger Woods turn it around? | Rory McIlroy’s eagle chip The round was even more remarkable considering the 34-year-old from Japan shot 77 on Thursday....

The specter of John Kerry in 2004 is beginning to haunt the Democrats in 2008. It is the specter of wimpy campaigns past. It showed up, like Banquo’s ghost, at the debate Wednesday night in Philadelphia, particularly when Hillary Clinton joined with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and Charlie Gibson to nip away at the edges of Barack Obama’s patriotism. Between the questions about Obama’s meager association with William Ayers, a former Weatherman, and the suspicions raised by his lack of a flag lapel pin, the likely nominee is slowly being turned into John Kerry....

Seen in that light, the president’s commutation of I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby’s 30-month jail sentence on Monday could hardly be less surprising. Indeed Libby, who still has to pay a $250,000 fine and endure the stigma of being branded a felon (unless he gets pardoned too), is paying a heavier price than his former administration colleagues. Is it any wonder that Bush thought 30 months for lying over the case for war was “excessive,” when the executors of that war have completely escaped whipping?...

In this Q&A, de Courcy discusses whether Coco Chanel’s self-confidence can be an example for ambitious young women in business today, and whether Chanel was indeed a Nazi collaborator. Why this book? I have always been fascinated both by the Riviera and Chanel, but had never really connected them. When I discovered that Chanel had spent every summer there between 1930 to 1944 in the villa she had built, I had my theme—and my time frame....

Soon after the ink dried on that contract, the Yankees named him the 16th captain in franchise history. Judge, who has been with the Yankees full-time since 2017, failed to reach a deal before the 2022 season, and instead played out his contract year without negotiations, as promised. As it turned out, his play did all of the negotiating he needed, with the superstar contending for a Triple Crown into the last month of the season while hitting home runs at an incredible clip....

Former FIFA president Blatter announced his intention to step down in June 2015, six days after prominent officials were arrested in Zurich as part of a joint anti-corruption investigation by United States and Swiss authorities. What is FIFA’s Garcia Report? Blatter later received an eight-year suspension, reduced to six on appeal, from football-related activities over a “disloyal payment” made in 2011 to Michel Platini, who was also banned and lost his role as head of UEFA....

One of the watercolors, “Mountain Chapel” (painted in 1909, when Hitler was 20), was–ironically–commissioned by a Jewish art dealer for a Jewish lawyer. The work violates practically every rule of Composition 101: don’t put the spire dead center! Don’t let the mountains and the clouds slant in the same direction! Don’t have another building zoom in weirdly from the edge! Is there anything in it that tells you why he became a monster?...

It was a day of large confusion and larger heroism. Police, firefighters and paramedics waged a frantic war against time to rescue victims trapped in the rubble deep belowground–while in the smoky, darkened halls and stairwells of the trade center’s twin towers, thousands of frightened office workers found themselves trapped and gasping for air Helicopters whirled overhead–and plucked 28 people from rooftops 110 stories above the street. title: “Hitting Home” ShowToc: true date: “2023-01-26” author: “Jose Flores” Stretching east on Long Island, from the border with Queens halfway to the Hamptons, is a jumble of suburbs whose borders are so unmemorable residents sometimes just describe their hometowns as a certain exit number on the Long Island Expressway....

Goals from Andros Townsend and Patrick van Aanholt had given Palace a 2-0 lead at Selhurst Park, but they failed to take anything out of the clash. Chris Smalling and Romelu Lukaku struck before Nemanja Matic scored a 30-yard winner in the 91st minute.

The SS Hoke is sinking fast in Ann Arbor, and that was before the Wolverines dropped to 2-2 with a 26-10 loss to Utah. It’s not a good look, and a lightning delay only prolonged the inevitable. The teams played the final eight minutes in a mostly Ute-partisan Big House. Everybody else jumped ship. There’s only one life preserver left for Michigan now. Brady Hoke has to give Shane Morris a chance at quarterback....
