Before wallpapering a wall, apply a coat of clear varnish to any grease
spots. This will prevent the grease from soaking through the new paper.
As people age, many become more
uncomfortable with change than they used to be. Older people don't want
things to be any different from the way they've always been -- and if
they're forced to change, they stress out (at least a little).
Age probably affects your dog the same way. Like you, he takes comfort in
consistency. Being able to count on eating in the same place today as he
did yesterday or going to the same potty place now as he did this morning
gives him feelings of comfort and safety. Routine is to your senior like a
blankie is to a human toddler. Both help ensure security to the individual
who may not otherwise feel all that secure about his world.
Senior Dogs For Dummies, by Susan McCullough, gives you trusted tips on
your special pet's special needs.
If you want to see some of Arizona's
most spectacular scenery and visit an Indian reservation, this canyon,
south of the central part of Grand Canyon National Park, fills the bill.
Home to some 500 Havasupai people, Havasu Canyon is famous for its
astonishingly turquoise water and for the 200-foot waterfalls that cascade
down vivid red sandstone cliffs into limpid pools. Swimming in said pools
-- and for some people, hiking into and out of the canyon -- is pretty
much all you can do there; the village consists of fairly run-down homes.
If you can stand being forced to relax in a beautiful spot, though, this
area may just be your place. Keep in mind that Havasu Canyon is a more
than a little bit off the beaten path; you must hike, ride, or book a
helicopter flight to enter, and you must reserve in advance.
Been shopping? When you put those
plastic bags in the trunk of the car, tie the tops of the bags to stop
your groceries from flying all around the trunk when you suddenly stop .
Everyone likes fresh feet.
Today's tip eliminates odor in your shoes. Sprinkle baking soda in them
instead of pricey foot powder, or put kitty litter in an old knee-high and
put it in your shoes it will absorb all the smells.

Mozilla contributor Henrik Gemal wrote last
week in a blog that a phishing detector has been added to Thunderbird.
This feature is likely to be available in the next release of
Thunderbird, version 1.1, according to the Mozilla bug report.
In a phishing scam, fraudsters send e-mail messages that try to lure
people to Web sites faked to look like sites belonging to trusted
service providers such as banks. Once they click through, people are
asked to hand over credit card numbers and other sensitive personal
information, which the criminals could use to commit identity fraud.
With the new Thunderbird feature, when a user clicks on a link in an
e-mail that appears to be a phishing URL, the detector will prompt the
user with a dialog box before the Web site is opened, Gemal wrote. The
detector is triggered if the URL has a numeric Internet Protocol address
rather than a domain name, or if the URL does not match the address
displayed in the link text.
MILWAUKEE, Jan 24, 2005 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/
-- Harley-Davidson expands its model offerings with an all-new 2006
VRSCR Street Rod, a big bore 15th Anniversary Edition 2005 Fat Boy and
dirt track-inspired 2005 Sportster 883R.
Highlights of the 2006 VRSCR Street Rod:
The roadster-inspired VRSCR Street Rod sets a new standard and a bold
direction for the VRSC family combining style and performance in equal
measure. The newest member of the VRSC family is decidedly more
aggressive with its upright riding position, inverted front forks,
40-degree lean angle, 1130cc Revolution V-Twin engine and tuned
suspension.
Highlights of the 2005 15th Anniversary Edition FLSTFI Fat Boy:
For 15 years the Fat Boy has ruled the heavyweight cruiser class by
blending classic hardtail styling with a heart-pounding counter-balanced
V-Twin engine. The 15th Anniversary Edition Fat Boy commemorates the
model's journey with an extra helping of chrome, performance and style.
Its signature solid disc wheels have been chromed, making a visual
statement that's as powerful as it is custom. The two color options --
Vivid Black and Brilliant Silver, a nod to the original color introduced
in 1990 -- are complemented by a matched paint scheme on its
counter-balanced V-Twin motor. A 24K gold-plated tank emblem and unique
Badlander-inspired, double-stitched seam seat, gold striped air cleaner
cover, timer cover and ignition switch plate are unique custom
treatments.
Driving that point home is a big bore, fuel-injected 1550cc Twin Cam
95 engine producing 87.1-ft.-lbs. of torque at 4000 rpm. It's
counterbalanced and solid-mounted to deliver the Softail's
tightly-framed, timeless style and strong roll-on power with just the
right amount of feedback to the rider. The 15th Anniversary Fat Boy will
be available until June 2005, while supplies last.
Highlights of the 2005 Sportster XL883R:
The Sportster XL883R pays tribute to the famed Harley-Davidson XR dirt
track racers with eye-catching, race-inspired styling elements. Most
noticeable are the blacked-out Evolution powertrain and race-ready
883R graphics on the classic, orange 3.3-gallon fuel tank.
A staggered shorty dual exhaust system and dual front disc brakes
reflect the 883R's competitive DNA. Blacked-out components like fork
sliders, headlamp eyebrow, handlebars, air cleaner cover and rear shock
springs enhance its distinctive style and make it a fun bike to ride.
EL CAJON, Calif. -- A motorcycle gang member
has been sentenced to 75 years to life in prison for murdering an
associate of a rival gang and wounding another man outside an El Cajon
bar.
Ray Nolan Waldron, a member of the Mongols gang, was found guilty in
June of killing David "L.J." Florentine and wounding Anthony
Nunn in September 2003.
Waldron, 29, was convicted of murder, attempted murder, assault with a
firearm and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
During the sentencing hearing Monday, Superior Court Judge Louis R.
Hanoian rejected a motion by Waldron's lawyer, Craig Leff, for a new
trial, arguing that the lawyer who represented his client during the
trial did a poor job.
Among other things, Leff said Waldron's original lawyer failed to call
on witnesses who could have raised questions about the credibility of a
key prosecution witness.
Prosecutor Gordon Paul Davis told the judge that the evidence against
Waldron was overwhelming.
Florentine and Nunn were shot during a confrontation on Sept. 27, 2003.
Florentine was an associate but not a member of the Hells Angels. He was
shot five times and died outside the bar. Nunn was shot once in the leg
as he tried to flee and ducked for cover.
