Veggie Garden
Milkweed out in the wild verge.
That'd be nice to have planted, to attract some butterflies and because the little boats of pods and silk are fond memories.
I envy the cultivar daisies but I want wild daisies for a sunny spot, and trilliums, dog-tooth violets, all the native forest floor plants to reinstate what was once here a couple centuries ago.
Know what would also be nice? To have peppers survive to our table. The second big one was swiped. Them being eaten at the picnic table is civil of the critters and all, but I'd rather see the pepper turn red.
I suppose gardening is a variation on plant a tree you will never sit under the shade of.
I thought the pole beans didn't come up but when I look closer I see the ones that did are chewed to the ground. Chicken wire is now around the survivors.
Radishes are coming up. First and second planting are weeks apart but thanks to the heat and rains all coming together this week, they're the same size.
And some squash that was way past proper planting time but threw in the ground anyway? Three of them coming up.
Such amazing fertility of seed. You could rake and bale the amount of sow weeds and creeping joe and manitoba maple seedlings and crab grass. Where invasive species meets invasive species, that's a kind of rainforest thriving, except everything is inches tall.

Glad Game: We happened across a friend on the street. I automatically waved. Both of those are good and that I didn't crumple from sudden shoulder movement. It was more of a salute until the shoulder hit a wall 3/4 lifted, but still, that's farther than its been for I don't know how many weeks.
Book was ordered. I shipped it. I didn't charge enough for postage so griped and then life dropped a toonie at our feet for my troubles. I tell you, it's hard to keep a good kvetch going sometimes.
Let there be light and there was and it was good: the basement window which was boarded over when we got our place has now been unboarded and it admits light and air. That brightens it up down there.

Oh, and I've been reminded that not everyone is on twitter or FB and the blogs go where some of them don't. It's kind of counterintutive since there's more interaction at the FB and Twitter but yes, I should mention here as well, a recording of Literary Landscape is archived at my author site.
That caught was thanks to plan C: the recording by Hubby At Home Manoeuvre. Not much of the time, not the majority of the time, but every now and then, intentions turn out. How about that.
I like the sentiment of the quote below, even if it's kind of right and wrong. Expecting perfection and professional to be synonymous and that there is a place where one's learning and curiosity stops while skills keep right on going seems misguided and not entirely benign. At the same time, much is lost by giving up too soon, by "good enough" and starting to call it in. And everything is a skill. Learning itself and teaching are skills. All is acquired. Even, I've heard, patience.

Every change comes with a complex set of outcomes. For example, by fishing for the big fish, it pressures the advantage of fish coming to sexual maturity while smaller since they won't live long. Salmon or trout don't get larger not only because they are killed too soon but because the littler ones aren't bottlenecked to not survive.
If you give people the freedom from taboos of women being controlled in church, not having the right to speak or preach, mandates on their clothes, such as a Baptist church I grew up in, to leave also leaves the good part of the community where there are people who are not exclusively that box.
There's no pro without a con. Some things are undeniably better, surely in the whole, a tradeoff that's un upgrade that opens some better options. Or is it just change being better? To be violently closed, group tribal, in favour of guns and the strongest surviving, pro-bullying as making men from boys and showing girls their proper place, also make for fierce ties that protect in-group as much as they fend off out-group. One is never fully free of being outside a sensibility even when having a foot in different ones. The mind can keep its parallels that would conflict if they mixed. But they don't mix.
It argues against one's own experience will to say that life is not progressive. We've got our bathroom reno almost done. It moved to more order. Groceries get done. Laundry. This is a domestic progress. It isn't ambiguous and can't be called more chaotic or adding cons. Chaos outnumbers pattern. Our pattern recognition is what is salient. Maybe it is only catch less than a percent of anything, seeing the breadcrumb trail and ignoring the forest. There's a momentum and direction.

Moving at Thought Speed
For this Thursday 13,
- Part of why I'm doing the 95books in a year challenge is to prioritize time offline. When I pull myself away from the computer, anything can happen, including greater likelihood of going for a walk.
- My brain can run hyper and fragments on too much digital text. It's like the bullet train compared to walking. It's more speed than the design load of perception.
- I stooped over to look at the melt puddles of 4 small snow clumps and – without looking to the side where I expected Brian to be –remarked on how it is a huge dinosaur-sized cat track. Naturally it wasn't Brian there but some lady walking past who looked back at me with that is-she-dangerous-crazy-or-safe-crazy kind of worried look. Sigh. Sense of play, she lacks it.
- a huge list of Oulipo Oulpo techniques
- but these day I'm embarking further into the waters of terza rima. it's kind of like a polar dip.
- The internet is a world information economy. Is it information or how you spin it? For example, by being a writer who tweets you can automatically boast being an "internationally published author" on twitter.
- There's fresh way of looking at things, and then there's just deliberately misleading b.s. or spoofing the jargon and game
- Isn't fake it until you make it a license to deceive for writers not just rogue doctors?
- 4th grades have a freshness of language, metaphor and vision that we can lose in trying to relate to one another in standard ways
I know a popular author who abhors the works of John Galsworthy, but something in Galsworthy's rhythm starts up his own desire to write; he alleges that after a few pages of The Forsyte Saga he can hear an "internal hum" which soon turns into sentences and paragraphs; on the other hand, Wodehouse, whom he considers a past master of modern humorous writing, plunges him into such depths of despond about his own performance that he takes care not to read the latest Wodehouse book until he has finished whatever he has in hand. Watch for a while, and see which authors are your meat and which your poison.
Dorothea Brande on Becoming a Writer[p.56-57]
- Everything we think, perceive, say and do is a time capsule.
- Here's a time capsule of Tennessee Williams and Victor Campbell

Blowing Rock Fire & Rescue pulled off a dramatic rescue of a man, stranded in his vehicle, hung up in trees at the precipice of a rock cliff. The Sunday morning wreck was just above Highway 321 just south of Blowing Rock.(photos Blowing Rock Fire/Rescue)
The driver of the vehicle was driving down a snow covered secondary road above the highway and his vehicle went down the embankment and through the woods. The vehicle rolled it's side and fortunately for the driver, rested itself on a tree instead of going over the cliff for a 70 foot drop to the highway. It took rescue personnel about an hour to stabilize the vehicle so the man could get out safely. The drive of the car was not injured but transported to Watauga Medical Center for observation.

Kyrgyzstan Facts Flag
A rugged nation in Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan shares the snowcapped Tian Shan with China. Some 75 percent of the land is mountainous. In their mountain fastness, the nomadic Kyrgyz, a Turkic-speaking people with loose ties to Islam, bred horses, cattle, and yaks for centuries. The Kyrgyz came under tsarist Russian rule during the 19th century, and thousands of Slavic farmers migrated into the region. Kyrgyzstan gained independence in 1991. Kyrgyz make up two thirds of the population, and there are large Uzbek and Russian minorities. Raising livestock still remains the main agricultural activity today.

Contra Isaac, I'd actually like to defend Edwards for his answer on gay marriage. Isaac's right that the policy specifics of the answer Edwards gave in 2004 aren't that different from the answer he's giving now: he opposes gay marriage and he supports partnership benefits (his support of civil unions does seem to be new, or at least more pronounced). But what has changed is Edwards's explanation for why he favors the policy prescriptions he does.
Basically, by saying that his opposition to gay marriage stems from the fact that he grew up as a Southern Baptist in a conservative small town, he's conceding that there's no real moral or rational basis for his opposition to gay marriage, just a traditional one--and I think that's actually significant. Moreover, although he evidently didn't say this to the Times, I recently came across a fuller answer to a question about gay marriage that he gave at a town meeting in New Hampshire--an answer that seems equally significant. After explaining the root of his own opposition to gay marriage--i.e. the tradition he grew up in--he added:
My daughter who is 24 and goes to school in Cambridge--her generation and all of her friends believe this issue will completely disappear with their generation.
Now, granted, the fact that Edwards gave more or less the same response to the Times to the one he gave to the New Hampshire town meeting undercuts his claim that he's not being "formulaic." He's just got a new formula this time around. But as I tried to show in this profile of Edwards, just because he's often formulaic doesn't mean he's insincere. And, even though I disagree with Edwards about his opposition to gay marriage, his explanation of why he's opposed to it strikes me as admirably--and unusually--sincere. So does the fact that he seems comfortable that younger people--including his own daughter--have no problem with gay marriage and that, because of that, gay marriage will eventually become the law of the land. And that, I think, is different from the answer he gave in '04.

Brewers' Postmortem
Since the Green Bay Packers season begins in earnest tomorrow, I thought it would be fitting to take one last not so loving look at the Milwaukee Brewers. I know that the season isn't "officially" over (in fact, I have tickets to games the next two Saturdays), but looking back I believe it's fair to say that the Brewers have essentially been playing out the string since mid-season.
Before I sat down to write this opus, I went back and reviewed what I had written about the team in spring training ("Spring Hopes Attorney"). While many people at that time expected the Brewers to contend for a playoff spot, I cautioned about the pitching and predicted that they would struggle to reach .500. Though the Brewers teased us with some success in the early portion of the season, their flaws were bound to be exposed over the course of a 162 game schedule. It must say something about the depth (no pun intended) of their pitching problems that even I was able to foresee them back in February. But who could have predicted that the loss of Dave Bush, along with that of second baseman Rickie Weeks, would be the key to their unraveling?
Of course pitching, while being the predominant factor, wasn't the Brewers only problem this year; the lack of it just magnified their other shortcomings. Once again, they were overly reliant on the home run at the plate leading to long stretches of offensive inefficiency. And baserunning took a major step back from the previous year. But they did maintain their marginal defense.
One thing that I didn't anticipate was the continuing struggle of shortstop J.J. Hardy. Hardy had suffered through batting slumps in the past only to battle his way out of them and become an effective run producer. Lamentably that never happened this year, ultimately ending in a trip to the minors and some unsavory whining on his part. In the process, Hardy went from being one of the Brewers mainstays to likely playing himself off the team in favor of phenom Alcides Escobar. Likewise, outfielder Cory Hart's year roughly mirrored Hardy's to the point that it's questionable whether either of them fits in Milwaukee's future.
Not that there weren't some bright spots here and there.
Prince Fielder got closer to reaching his considerable potential by going back to the form he showed in the minor leagues. Fielder exhibited a lot more patience at the plate this year and the results showed with an increased batting average and leading the team in walks and runs batted in. He even displayed a notable improvement around the bag at first base. Naturally, he'll once again be the subject of trade rumors in the offseason.
Trevor Hoffman came over from San Diego and provided some excitement in the 9th inning on those rare occasions when the Brewers provided him with a save opportunity. One had to wonder at the beginning of the season how much "gas" the all time saves leader had left in his tank but his performance has to leave the Brewers and their fans open to another year of "Trevor Time".
Casey McGehee came out of nowhere to solidify third base at least for the short term and Craig Counsell was the ultimate utility guy all season.
For the most part, staff ace Yovani Gallardo and left fielder Ryan Braun also put up good numbers over the course of the year.
Unfortunately, the contributions of these players didn't translate to winning baseball. The question now is where do the Brewers go from here. What looked so promising only a couple of years ago is now seriously in doubt. Back then, Milwaukee looked to be set with one of the league's better infields for years to come. Now, 3rd baseman Braun has been moved to left field, shortstop Hardy will probably be playing elsewhere next year, 2nd baseman Week's injury history makes him unreliable, and Fielder's long term future with the franchise is debatable.
There is also the matter of catcher and center field. Veterans Jason Kendall and Mike Cameron are both on record as saying they'd like to stay in Milwaukee but, unless they're willing to take a 'home town discount', it's unlikely that either will be back next year. While the Brewers currently have no viable candidates in the organization to replace them, it's hard to justify paying them the money they're currently making in the future given what they can provide for this team as it stands.
General Manager Doug Melvin says his priority for next year is to secure more pitching and rightly so. But his options will be severely limited. Given the dearth of pitching, the Brewers will have to endure another year of Manny Parra and almost certainly will pick up the option on righthander Braden Looper who, despite his inconsistency, managed to win 12 games so far this year. Packer fans may want to take note as Melvin will be forced to do what many want GM Ted Thompson to do for Green Bay: take a chance on some risky free agent acquisitions and hope they pay off.
As noted earlier, there has already been some speculation that Fielder will be moved for a pitcher. This, too, is problematic. Melvin would need to get a proven top of the rotation starter, or else a couple of very good ones, in return. I don't believe that deal is out there and anything short of that doesn't make sense. Fielder is that rare hitter who seems to come up big in key moments and his presence makes Braun a much better hitter than he otherwise would be. To move him for a mediocre starter wouldn't make the team better even at the risk of losing him to free agency.
One thing for certain is that this team will look much different on opening day 2010 than it did last April. Owner Mark Attanasio knows he needs to keep people moving through the turnstiles for the Brewers to be a successful franchise. That puts the pressure on Melvin to make moves that, regardless of their effectiveness, at least present the appearance of a team trying to compete for the playoffs.

By JOHN A. WINTERS
The 18th annual Bedrock Classic Golf Tournament to benefit the Coweta County Sheriff's Office's Project SAFE was held Friday with 94 players participating.
"We had 25 teams and a beautiful day for golf," said Lieutenant Stephen Crook, who heads up the tournament for the Coweta County Sheriff's Office.
Money raised from the tournament goes toward helping the kids of Coweta County through the "Students Are For Education" program.
SAFE focuses on teaching students against drugs and violence. The 12-week program covers topics ranging from handling stress to self-esteem, bullying, Internet safety and avoiding drugs. The classes are taught in one-hour segments to fifth graders, and officers also visit Pre-K through fourth grade students for talks on similar topics.
"All money raised from the Bedrock Classic goes back to the kids of Coweta County," Crook said. "None of the money goes toward salaries or anything else, it all gets funded to help us buy items for the Project SAFE program… We want to thank the community for their continued support of this vital program."
First place for the First Flight went to the team of Pick Parks, Joe Crain, Craig Ketelsen, and Kermit Perry. First place in Second Flight went to Dave LeClair, Bill Milling, Jim Swieringa and Clint Smith. The team from Buffalo Rock won first in the Third Flight.

Double/triple your budget, or lower your expectations, or be patient and shop on the used market like Craigslist, and have cash and a truck/lift ready to go get it immediately...
It's like most other products - there is junk entry product, then there's the "sweet spot" product for about twice what the junk costs, and then there's extravagance. Consider a functional self defense handgun. $200 is typically junk. $400-600 is the "sweet spot." And $1000 is typically extravagance. Same with a formidable safe.
Thick steel is not cheap. Hardened locks are not cheap. Shipping is not cheap. Quality fire proofing is not cheap. Expect to spend $1500+ on a quality safe.
Thems the facts.
I also agree, buy larger than you think you need because you will quickly grow into it. It's nice to be able to put things like your laptop or electronics or other valuables in it when you go out of town for the night too.
Guns, coins, jewelry, ammo (which has become quite expensive), magazines (also quite expensive), electronics, documents, etc.
I have Sturdy Safes and am very happy. I've raved about them many times, you can find those links if you do some research on this topic, which comes up every week on forums.

You need to double your security budget. If you cheap out, you are wasting money for a false sense of security.

Fas1's comment was where I was going too. I would recommend a mechanical lock safe at night stand that wouldn't fail if intruder cuts electricity outside home (step 1 in intruder playbook) or the battery dies when you think it's fine. You could then keep everything else in a large digital lock safe elsewhere. If you're after a 6 gun, then buy a 24 gun safe, or larger, budget permitting. You don't want to buy then in two years have to have other one moved out and new, larger one delivered in its place (like 95% of us have done I imagine).
Stackon makes very economical safes with fire and water protection in $7-800 range to get you started. With that said, for $9-1000, get a Browning safe that has the rifle/shotgun holders in door to triple your space. I so wish that would have been out when I got my safes. That way, you may store paperwork and handguns in shelves at back of safe, using front for long guns. Most safes that don't have this concept waste the first 8-10 inches of safe from top to bottom, side to side.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In recent years, ACC Commissioner John Swofford showed a deft enough touch to secure his conference's long-term future when many speculated it was on the brink of collapse. Along with his colleagues, Swofford is again navigating uncertain territory as the five power conferences seek the autonomy from the rest of Division I to create their own rules within the NCAA structure without having to break away.
"A 'Division 4' is always a fallback, but my sense is that this is on a good path from an NCAA standpoint, and that it's likely to pass in a form that the five of us (conference commissioners) are comfortable with and the five conferences are comfortable with," Swofford said Thursday in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The possibility of a new division --- in which the 65 schools of the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC would separate from Division I and create their own level of competition --- was raised again recently by SEC Commissioner Mike Slive. At the SEC's spring meetings, Slive warned that "Division 4" was "the next move" if the conferences' desire for the authority to create rules, many of which are aimed at providing benefits to athletes beyond current regulations, was not granted. (The new measures could be followed by the other Division I schools.)
"I think (a possible new division) would be the next point of discussion, which I think is what Mike was saying," Swofford said. "My guess is we won't get to that point. If we do, then we'll jump in with both feet."
The NCAA Division I board of directors is scheduled to vote Aug. 7 on the autonomy proposal. Leading to it, Swofford described an environment of "horse trading" in which athletic directors, school presidents and conference commissioners across Division I have been in discussions to gauge what smaller schools and conferences could gain in exchange for their support to give autonomy to the power five.
"There's been a lot of respect and a lot of effort to understand what the five of us need and to understand what the other five (conferences) in FBS need and then what those conferences that are in the 27 that play Division I basketball but a different level of football or don't play football, what they need and understanding what each other's concerns are," he said.
While cost-of-attendance stipends may have received the most attention of benefits that the power conferences want to provide, others include health care, scholarship support for athletes after their eligibility has expired and access to advisers and agents. Swofford mentioned the current rule that limits athletes to 20 hours of activity related to their sport.
"The 20-hour rule, I'm not sure that's enforced the way it should be enforced," he said. "The offseason practices in various sports, I think we need to take a look at that."
Another is the perception that athletes are sometimes steered to certain majors that are less demanding or don't conflict with training and competition.
"We need to take a look at that, in my opinion," he said. "You don't want a sport to prohibit a student from pursuing a path in life starting with their education that they want to pursue."
Swofford is headed soon to California for the annual meetings of the Collegiate Commissioners Association, where all of the Division I conference commissioners will meet. It can be safely assumed that the demands of the power five, as well as those of the less powerful 27, will be discussed.
"I think when (college athletics) is done properly, it's a beautiful thing, and when it's not, it's not so pretty," Swofford said. "We've got to find a way to keep it pretty and even beautiful. I think that's worth preserving, and this is an opportunity to lay the foundation for something that's important to a lot of young people, important to a lot of people in general."

No Place to Hide: America's New Surveillance Society
In the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks, the U.S. government has embraced new tools and new powers to track the movements of people within America's borders. While headlines about increased scrutiny may seem familiar, most Americans don't know the half of it. Government and the private sector are busily teaming up to create a surveillance society unlike the world has ever seen.
Airs Sunday January 23 at 4PM on 93.9 and 8PM on AM 820
In the 1990s, businesses in the United States experienced a data revolution. Computers and corporations voraciously collected information on Americans, 24 hours a day: not just our names, addresses, and social security numbers, but what we read, the cars we drive, our financial histories, our vacationing habits. For years the data companies collected this information almost exclusively for private enterprise.
Then came September 11, 2001. Soon afterward, data entrepreneurs and government officials joined forces. At the same time, Congress passed the Patriot Act, stripping away crucial restrictions on domestic surveillance. The result: a U.S. government with unprecedented powers to spy on its own citizens.
This investigative documentary tells the story of the nation's quest to use data and surveillance technology as a magic bullet. It makes sense of how it happened and explores the implications. Washington Post reporter Robert O'Harrow and American RadioWorks producer John Biewen take you behind the scenes to meet powerful but little-known data moguls, senior government officials, and ordinary people whose lives have been changed along the way.
Produced by ARW's John Biewen and Robert O'Harrow of The Washington Post in conjunction with the Center for Investigative Reporting and ABC News. This project is a collaboration with the Washington Post and the Center for Investigative Reporting.

If you've read your way through a contemporary lit class in the past 20 years, then you've probably read The House on Mango Street. Sandra Cisneros' lively, spare, bestselling book helped bring rich stories about Mexican-American culture to the attention of mainstream readers.
Cisneros, a novelist and poet, began her latest book as a homage to her father, Alfredo Cisneros del Moral, a Chicago upholsterer, who died in 1997. Nine years in the writing, the book grew into the multigenerational epic Caramelo.
The book is narrated by Lala Reyes, who spends her girlhood split between the Mexico of her ancestors and the poor neighborhoods of her own immigrant family's life in Chicago and San Antonio. As she comes of age, Lala switches between her native languages, English and Spanish, while arguing with living and dead relatives about the healthy lies and truths that are the foundation of her family's history.
Cisneros spoke with WW about the poetic image, the borderlands between truth and autobiography, and the rich cultural history of Mexican immigrants.
Willamette Week: How did this image of the caramelo, a candy-striped rebozo or Mexican scarf, come to have so much meaning in the course of the novel?
Sandra Cisneros: This book uses my love of clothing in general and gave me an excuse to research something I loved. I collect a lot of vintage stuff, and the rebozos, the shawls, are just so much a part of my forays to Mexico.
Are readers interested in the autobiographical nature of your stories?
That's the real liar's craft of fiction, if a writer can convince readers that it happened to you. But that doesn't mean there aren't strands or filaments of truth in the work. Out of filaments, you create a fiber. Weave it with something else you love and the next thing you know you've got cloth.
Why were you inspired to write a novel based on your father's history?
He had seven children and was an upholsterer. I had never read about an upholsterer in American literature. He moved down in class when he crossed the border [moving from Mexico to Chicago]. People don't know that story. We usually think about immigrants pulling themselves up by the bootstraps. After he passed away, I was worried that when we talked about history, no one would be talking about immigrants like my father.
How does your training as a poet inform your work?
I think about positive and negative space, the way a theater person does. Timing in poetry is everything, the spaces where people pause, the pauses between stanzas. And then there's that last line, which should have the gleam of fine crystal. The story ends before I think it's going to end, when I find there's a line that says it all. I think I'm creating something bigger, but once I write that line, I always have to stop to close the book and think.
The novel is composed of vignettes. Why such little pieces?
I think of my work as being more female. I don't think in a linear way. I write in what I call little buttons, and then I line them up. It could be years before I find a home for that button. You just go on the naive faith that all of these characters and all of these strands are going to come together.
will speak at 7:30 pm Tuesday, Oct. 28, at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, 1037 SW Broadway.
$15-$24. Tickets available at the door or by calling 227-2583.

Ergolytic Agents: Substances and Other Agents that Impair Performance
Ergolytic is the opposite of ergogenic. It is derived from the Greek word ergon, meaning "work" and -lytic, which is the adjective form of the Greek word lysos, meaning "loosing, dissolving, or dissolution." The term ergolytic is used to refer to an agent, device, or factor that impairs athletic performance rather than enhances it. This impairment can be the result of physiological or psychological factors. Some common ergolytic agents are alcohol, tobacco (including smokeless), and marijuana.

Caffeine And Sports Performance
Research on the physiological effects of caffeine in relation to human sport performance is extensive. In fact, investigations continue to emerge that serve to delineate and expand existing science. Caffeine research in specific areas of interest, such as endurance, strength, team sport, recovery, and hydration is vast and at times, conflicting. Therefore, the intention of this position statement is to summarize and highlight the scientific literature, and effectively guide researchers, practitioners, coaches, and athletes on the most suitable and efficient means to apply caffeine supplementation to mode of exercise, intensity, and duration.

Red Bull® And Reaction Time
In this double-blind study, the effects of consuming a single can (250 ml) of Red Bull®, Sugar Free Red Bull®, or a flavor/appearance-matched placebo on attention and reaction time were measured using a computerized continuous performance task, administered 30 minutes after drink ingestion. No significant differences in continuous performance task performance were related to ingestion of any of the drinks. Effects of Red Bull® or Sugar Free Red Bull® on continuous performance task performance are, therefore, negligible, and are no greater than potential psychomotor enhancements resulting from placebo expectancies.

Wait till you find out that your inner strength will be multiplied manifolds this year. You will be glad to know that your mental faculties are in total sync with your power of expression, which will impress your beloved and increase your fan following in the social circles.

So there is another name for Leo in you in 2014 and that is "Superhero". In other words, you will sail through 2014 easily and will be successful in your mission.
As I just mentioned, the year may have a shaky start but only for a short while, as the chances are that you are likely to meet a person who is also a fiery sign (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius). You will have many opportunities to strengthen your bond. Of course, there will be fireworks till the middle of the year but you will be fully equipped to not only handle them well but to turn them into memorable events. This will be one step short of solidifying your bond into a concrete unit. Jupiter will bless your joint journey. The beauty of the relationship of the two of you will unite the families also in a harmonious way.

A few exclusive tips for you
There is a particular configuration of the planets during their movement which makes me share a few tips about maintaining a better and harmonious relationship.
- Reciprocate the good and warm gestures and have good times. But if your partner is in not in a mood or is in a difficult situation try to understand him / her. If the situation demands then withdraw from the scene and conserve your energy rather than wasting it.
- Keep your fiery mood under check, do not do anything in extremes.
- Be modest, courteous and respectful.
Rome was not built in a day. The strangers become acquaintances, in turn they become friends and out of the friends circle comes someone special. So send your serious mood and fiery nature on a holiday in 2014. Be nice, loving and caring to every person who comes in your life. It's up to you to make those moments, if there is an argument or disagreement, sprinkle love and set everything right. So make no mistakes, one of such persons is going to be someone special in your life.

Residents outraged by deadly standoff
ALBUQUERQUE — On the surface, it seemed like a case that police had no choice but to respond with deadly force: A man barricaded himself inside an Albuquerque home, reportedly threatening his wife and their two children with a gun.
Police sent a SWAT team and a department psychologist to get Armand Martin, a 50-year-old Air Force veteran, to surrender peacefully during a long standoff. His wife, who called 911, told a television station that Martin suffered from depression and "just went crazy."
Police said Martin came out of the home firing two handguns. An officer opened fire and fatally shot him.
Although the initial facts appear to support officers' use of force, the shooting generated outrage in the city of 550,000 and sparked another angry protest.
Some residents said they have all but lost faith in the police. Angry demonstrators took over the regularly scheduled city council meeting on Monday night — chanting for the ouster of the police chief, shouting at council members and causing so much disruption that the city council president adjourned the meeting.
Critics say the shooting is another example of persistent problems in the city's police department.
"They just can't resolve these engagements peacefully," said David Correia, an American Studies University of New Mexican professor who helped shut down the city council meeting. "Saturday's shooting just demonstrates the way this department operates."
Albuquerque police are under tough scrutiny following a harsh report from the Justice Department over use of force and its interaction with suspects struggling with mental illness.

WASHINGTON – The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity today unveiled a new web video contrasting President Obama's campaign rhetoric on coal with the record of the Obama EPA, which is seeking to regulate coal out of existence in the United States.
"The President used to say the right things about coal, now millions of Americans need him to do the right things about coal," said Evan Tracey, Senior Vice President, Communications of ACCCE. "Democrats and Republicans should agree that coal is critical to keeping electricity affordable and reliable."
The video spotlights speeches from the 2008 campaign in which then-Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden spoke of the importance of clean coal. It then takes a brief look at the impact of recent EPA regulations that will shutter coal-fueled power plants and destroy American jobs. The video concludes with the recent news that the Obama campaign updated their website to include "clean coal" in their energy strategy after criticism from lawmakers.
The video can be viewed online at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt2rUgxzXwE&feature=youtu.be

According to your Savings Account Rates page, HSBC Direct supports Quicken Direct Connect for downloading transactions. However, I just opened an Online Savings account there, and when I tried to set up Quicken with Direct Connect, I always got an error message saying, "Your financial institution has rejected your request."
I called up HSBC, and their representative told me that new customers are no longer allowed to use Direct Connect; they can only use Web Connect now. Existing customers may continue to use Direct Connect for now. You may want to update your page to reflect this new information.
Thanks for the information. I've updated the notes accompanying the rate chart.

This Insanely Cool, Sustainable Collab Is Inspired By Mental Disorders
In the wake of the recent tragedies in Bangladesh, the groundbreaking concept of 100% transparency that Bruno Pieters' company Honest By is founded upon makes more sense than ever. It also doesn't hurt that it comes out with some of the most compelling collaborations in the biz — like the latest, with astutely-named Indonesian designer Heaven Tanudiredja.
The collection follows similar projects with Calla Haynes and Nicolas Andreas Taralis and consists of a tightly edited range of eye-catching jewels and one chaotically embellished clutch. In an interview with Pieters, Tanudiredja spoke to the unique inspiration behind the line:
"For our Honest by capsule, the starting point was the same as my current collection – the beauty behind mental disorders. Which sounds a bit dark but it's this beautiful chaos that I am fascinated with. I tried to create this by way of movement, via my ornaments. In this case it's gold plated hands and chairs paired with vintage crystals."
Even cooler? Because of Honest By's commitment to supply chain transparency, the origins of each and every crystal used are outlined online, so you know exactly where your money is going, plus the pieces come with a lifetime warranty.
Take a look through select images of the pieces and the Pieters-lensed campaign below, and for another collaboration we're loving right now, check out the "quirky elegance" of Peter Som's Anthropologie wares:

Really enjoyed this! Very light and great for the summer. I added red bell pepper pieces for crunch and color.flag if inappropriate
For the cakes substituted cilantro and scallions for thyme and chives, lime for lemon juice and homemade chipotle mayo for mayo/mustard. For sauce used a whole avocado and more chipotle mayo, along with a whole serrano and probably 3-4 tblsp lime juice, no milk, no sugar (why would it need sugar even in its original version?). Shaped into 6 cakes, still very substantial size but cooked slightly less, probably 11-12 minutes. Served with couscous flavored with cilantro, scallions, cumin and lime zest. A nice, moist cake that allows you to really taste the crab, and a great contrast with the crunchy breadcrumbs and smooth, creamy sauce. Will definitely make again!flag if inappropriate
Very good, but if I make it again I will probably add some other spices for more flavor.flag if inappropriate
I just made the sauce and served it with a nut crusted grouper. It was delicious.flag if inappropriate
I should have added some egg to the crab cakes. They could have been better, but it's my fault they weren't because I used the cheapest canned crab I could find (poor college student). The panko and sauce were good...cheap canned crab not so good. I would try this again with better crab.flag if inappropriate
I made these and they are delicious. However, I did add half of an egg to the crab cakes. Also I put some mango salsa (2 mangos, red onion, tomato, bunch of cilantro, fresh lime juice, and salt and pepper) on the plate which was a great addition.flag if inappropriate
really great! I added a whole egg and used the whole avocado (what do you do with a left-over half?)flag if inappropriate
Great Recipe - tasty & easy to make. I've made it several times, came out great each time. The recipe works well even if you pan-fry the crab cakes instead of baking. For the sauce, I usually use a whole avocado and reduce the mayo.flag if inappropriate
Easy to make and very tasty. We have used the sauce on several other items although I substitute real mayo and 2% milk.flag if inappropriate
The sauce is delicious and I plan on using it for other dishes also. Some reviewers have said that it was too thick, but I used milk to thin it as the recipe suggests, and it was perfect! The crab cakes were very good, and I was happy to find a recipe that calls for baking as opposed to frying, but they did not hold together well.flag if inappropriate

COSTA MESA — For the second time in three weeks, Estancia High tailback Robert Murtha broke a Newport-Mesa career record.
Seeing Murtha surpass the district touchdown record of 49 didn't matter Friday to Coach Mike Bargas. The record that does is the one the Eagles now have in Orange Coast League play.
No team in three years had beaten Estancia in league, until Laguna Beach routed the defending league champion Eagles, 48-14. Gone is the Eagles' 12-game winning streak in league.
The team that last beat Estancia in league three years ago did so again on the Eagles' turf.
In a battle of the top two teams in league, the Breakers dominated and remained unbeaten. These two teams reached the semifinals of the CIF Southern Section Southern Division playoffs last year.
At this stage of the season, Laguna Beach (6-0-1, 2-0-0 in league) looks like it can get back there again. The Breakers, ranked No. 3 in the Southern Division, showed off their potent offense against the No. 10 Eagles (4-3, 1-1), who played without three key senior starters.
The Breakers went into the game averaging almost 52 points per game. And they came close to cracking 50 for the fourth time this year, scoring a late touchdown with 11 seconds left. The running play, coming with the game out of reach, bothered Bargas.
"They're a good football team, but I don't know if they needed to score that last touchdown," Bargas said after his Eagles suffered their worst league loss during his six years in charge. "I'm not surprised one bit, actually, that they [scored late]. But we'll get our chance another day."
On Friday, the Breakers owned the much bigger Eagles. They produced seven touchdowns, all in a hurry. None of their scoring drives lasted longer than 3 minutes, 30 seconds.
Laguna Beach can score in practically every way, rushing, passing, and returning punts, kickoffs, interceptions and fumbles for touchdowns. By halftime, Laguna Beach went the traditional routes to the end zone, three times on the ground and once through the air.
The Eagles' lone score in the first half was produced by Murtha. His four-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-goal tied the Newport-Mesa career touchdown mark held by Costa Mesa's Keola Asuega.
While the Breakers made Murtha work for his 134 yards on 28 carries in the first half, Laguna Beach's top back almost totaled as many yards in 20 less touches. Drake Martinez had his way against the Eagles, finishing with 133 yards and two touchdowns on just 12 carries.
The senior, who has upcoming recruiting trips to Tennessee and Nebraska, is not even being recruited to play offense on the next level. Yet, Martinez has 50 career touchdowns, just as many as Murtha.
Murtha added his record-breaking 50th touchdown with 84 seconds left in the third quarter. Once again, the senior found the end zone on a fourth-and-goal run. Murtha was on his way to rushing a career-high 50 times, which resulted in 224 yards.
"Nothing," Bargas said what the career touchdown milestone meant. "That's great for [Murtha], but I think he's probably right up there with me. We lost, so now we've got to go out and we've got to regroup this [upcoming] week.
"We'll honor all that [record] stuff and be excited at the end of the season, but right now we've got to play football. We didn't play a very good game of football tonight."
Giving the Breakers great field position hurt the Eagles and not having quarterback Brad Wilson (groin), defensive lineman Kevin Peters (knee) and Adahir Aguilera (knee), an offensive lineman and linebacker, available.
Twice in the first half Laguna Beach started near the Eagles' 20-yard line because of long punt returns and personal foul penalties on Estancia tacked at the end. Each drive ended with touchdowns.
Bargas said his team was undisciplined. Even if he had his three injured starters healthy, Bargas said the Breakers "might have still beaten us."
The Breakers ruined the Eagles' longest winning streak in league and their running back's record-breaking day.
