0 Poetic License Horoscopes for July 13 – 19
By Jane Cassady (Check out For the Comfort of Automated Phrases!):
Cancer (June 22-July 23): "All I ever knew is like a little mouse living in a tiny hole in a palace I have become." (Hafiz) While you're busy being expansive, take time to celebrate the way you used to be, which was also amazing. Bake a birthday cake for your former self, with big blue icing flowers.
Leo (July 24-Aug. 23): You never really know how much you're loved, how precious you are to the people in your life. Look for signs of it—the special groceries, the firefly walks, the silly love-music that gets stuck in your head.
Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 23): "Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad." (Carly Rae Jepsen) You have always contained at least as much longing as a song-of-the-summer, probably more. But today, take stock of all the many people you have wished for who subsequently arrived. The other missing magic puzzle pieces are on their way—just open your arms and let them come to you.
Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 21): "I feel so grateful for every challenge I've encountered, as it's now clear that they were all stepping stones leading to the present moment, which is so full of joy and beauty that I feel I could do ANYTHING with the rest of my life & feel satisfied that my time on this planet was worthwhile. Dear G-d, I sincerely hope that, at some point, each and every person I know experiences the happiness that I am experiencing right now." (Sam Richman, after gender-affirming surgery.) Be like Sam.
Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 22): The stars miss you every time we see junky special effects in old movies; it's such a comforting thing to see. Hope all of your quests are being fulfilled, and your life is warm and full of sun.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 22): To the Sagittarius who says she wishes she could just like one or the other, men or women. Erroneous binary aside, there's so little space in this world for us, few heroes or role models. We have to make up our own way to do this. Don't accept the arbitrary limitations that are placed on us by those with limited imaginations.
Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 20): I recently started rewatching Angel. I don't think that I even knew before that my favorite vampire-with-soul started his detective agency in order to connect more deeply to humans and be therefore less likely to want to eat them. It isn't quite so dire for you, but do find some new ways to genuinely reach out.
Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19): To the Aquarius planning a ladies' weekend—may there be feather boas and dancing on banquettes, delirious running-into-the-surf, maybe a Gilmore Girls marathon. Have all the fun in the world and find your inner Lorelais.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): To the Pisces who listened to me when I was lost—I'm still lost, but thank you for taking care of me, hearing my side of things, wanting my real happiness. You're a good ear and a magic friendship, and your life will be full of glittery adventure.
Aries (March 21-April 18): Buy two sheets of stickers, one unicorns, one rainbows. Give them to yourself whenever you take a heart-risk, whenever you live in the delightful prism-y spectrums of life, whenever you move this way or that along the Kinsey scale. It's important to reward yourself for being so brave.
Taurus (April 19-May 18): I heard Die Antword's "Baby's On Fire" and had trouble not emailing it to you. Whatever's not working for you, it's time to burn it or dance it off. Stop struggling, unless you like that sort of thing. Not everything needs to be changed. Lay back and float on the surface of life like you do sometimes at the swimming poll. Look at the clouds.
Gemini (May 19-June 21): "Apparently I like ripping the Band-Aid off slowly and repeatedly." (My brother, Ed Wiedmann) Yep, it's hard to let things go, especially people, who tend to have a lot of adhesive. But it's okay, keep trying.
0 Poetic License Horoscopes for July 6 – 12
By Jane Cassady (You can pre-order For the Comfort of Automated Phrases NOW!):
Cancer (June 22-July 23): Think of how many letters you can send: Strongly worded letters of complaint, love letters, thank you notes that go into lots of detail, letters of apology and amends. Pick five and write them out on paper. Remember stamps?
Leo (July 24-Aug. 23): To the Leo who is apartment hunting—you will have ample closets, a big, clean kitchen, built-in bookshelves, hardwood floors, and a big windows. You'll live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of trees. You'll have everything including cheap rent, I promise.
Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 23): See Leo. Also, the tests you've been preparing for will be a piece of cake. Spend time in coffee shops going over practice tests. Alternate learning with good, long bouts of swimming. Fill up your brain and treat yourself kindly. You can do this.
Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 21): Today, all of your wishes are coming true, and you are groggily joyful. Sleep as many hours as you want, you've earned it. Spend lots of time with paints and books and movies. The stars recommend rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer from a bondage perspective, but that could just be the stars.
Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 22): "Who laughs the most, knows the most, if that laughter is sincere." (Hafiz) This week, focus even more than usual on the funny. Take Calvin and Hobbes collections to the beach with you. Meditate on the wise teachings of Demetri Martin, who is just as adorable in person. Go only to movie theatres that let you heckle the screen.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 22): Look at the summer schedule and map out your visits. Be sure to spend the most time with the people who make you the most delighted, and the least on obligation.
Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 20): Soon, I'm coming to visit you! We'll write jillions of stanzas in our notebooks, putting stickers on the best parts. We'll eat pie and snuggle children. I really can't wait.
Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19): This week, stand up for yourself, even if it is painful, even if it leads to some loss. Look at the people, the rumors, the dramas that hold you back and give them the what-for. Yes, we know, the stars should do this, too. Don't let anyone take anything away from you. You are worth all the happiness and freedom in the world.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): To the Pisces in a long distance relationship: May her visits be long. May her texts be chock full of effusiveness and affection and glitter. May you have the place in her life that you've always wanted. A happy home. Open arms. Providence.
Aries (March 21-April 18): This week in your life as a video game, you are Mario Kart. If you feel like you're careening, bouncing over mushrooms, skidding past barky chain-link dogs, occasionally being pulled from the drink by a helpful cloud guy with a fishing pole, don't worry, things will calm down a bit next week. Next week'll be Tetris.
Taurus (April 19-May 18): I've got writer's block for Taurus, so please send your requests. Thanks!
Gemini (May 19-June 21): Take a trip to your local produce market, a farmers' market if you have one nearby. Fruit has always symbolized well-being to the stars, and this week will be like strawberry-blueberry shortcake for you, Gemini!
0 Poetic License Horoscopes for June 29 – July 5
By Jane Cassady (You can pre-order For the Comfort of Automated Phrases NOW!):
Cancer (June 22-July 23): Dear birthday friend—this year, please believe all the nice things that your friends say about you, on your wall, in back-of-the-book blurbs, in vivid dreams. And while you're at it, let accidental slights and mishaps float away like bubbles.
Leo (July 24-Aug. 23): I just Googled "collective nouns for hummingbirds." Not only would that make a good name for something, but it also yielded the following results: charm, chattering, drum, troubling. (Who comes up with "a troubling of hummingbirds"? Clearly someone very disturbed.) Anyway, hummingbirds are like your quick, sweet luck and you'll see a lot of them this summer.
Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 23): "Send me an angel, right now." (Real Life) Your angels are your friends, invest everything in them. Everything shared at diner tables, sewing circles, and workshops will add up to everything you've ever looked for.
Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 21): See Virgo. You'll have not just one angel, but dozens, everyone whose heart you've ever fluttered just a little bit is standing next to you as you reach this next important fruition.
Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 22):Every time you ask nicely for something you want, you get a gold star, even when the answer is "no." It's time to start pushing past the boundaries of what you think you deserve. Your mantra is "more, more, more."
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 22): You are your own foundation, the basis from which everything you create grows. This week, spend some time on structural integrity: Fix leaks, strengthen walls, make sure you have good ventilation and are not subject to flooding.
Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 20): A friend of mine recently hosted a summit of nearly every smart woman she knows—it must have been one heck of a sleepover. Create this for yourself, on whatever scale you can, even if it's just inviting the sharpest lady you know over for coffee. Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) The stars have forgotten to send heart updates lately, but we wonder how you are doing—are you still twitterpated? Have your found new love and let go of the old? Is your family burgeoning, thriving, hurting? Be sure to let us know.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): Take a long walk past pretty fences and flowers, preferably when the lightning bugs are out. Make a good detailed wish on each firefly, each hydrangea petal. Then sit down with some nice friends and talk about books. Bonus points if there's wine.
Aries (March 21-April 18): In Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, our hero gets shiny coins whenever enemies are defeated. This week will be like that, but with less actual combat. Every item crossed off on your to do list, no matter how small or large, will give you what you need to level up, sparkly and solid.
Taurus (April 19-May 18): Someone somewhere is writing a lot of paragraphs about you—you never know how deep of an impression you've made, how you've changed someone's trajectory. I'm sure if they could, they'd send you the paragraphs, but for now, you can only imagine.
Gemini (May 19-June 21): "I can love whoever I want." (Charlie's brother in Adaptation) This week the stars are having a Charlie Kaufman movie marathon, and we suggest you do the same—get lost in the layers of it, the hot existential love scenes, the ponderousness of everything. When you watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, be glad of everyone you haven't erased.
1 Poetic License Horoscopes for June 22 – 28
By Jane Cassady (You can pre-order For the Comfort of Automated Phrases NOW!):
Cancer (June 22-July 23): Find yourself some grown-up coloring pages and go to town on them. Do this in front of the TV if you want. Embellish your pages with stickers and stamp-pads and hang them up someplace where you need to be reminded to trust your creativity.
Leo (July 24-Aug. 23): My wife recently wrote a Zombie Apocalypse Horoscope and may well be a guest horoscopist come Halloween time. I don't know much about zombies, but I know you should never box yourself in a basement, and don't board up the windows. What's coming for you is coming for you, turn and face it.
Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 23): Even if today none of the libraries were open, and you ran into your old nemesis, and you ate a shameful amount of cookies, no matter. Tomorrow you'll get a good playlist in your inbox, you'll go on a firefly walk with your love, you'll watch a dumb movie. Life is always mostly awesome.
Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 21): The stars never grew out of drawing hearts in the corners of notebook pages, and neither should you. You can even indulge in the creepy-cute eighth-grade-girl thing of writing your crush's name over and over. Go ahead, be ridiculous and smitten.
Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 22): Every day this week, find a poem—it could be anywhere, like magic. Collect them and build something nice.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 22): It's almost time to go to summer camp, and you are a counselor. Remember your sunscreen and water jug. Remember, children can be a bit chaotic, so leave some of your Order-Muppet side at home; more Animal, less Kermit.
Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 20): Yours is a religion of board games—read your future in Scrabble tiles, nothing as confusing as Upwords. I can't master the strategy of chess (or even, some days, Bejeweled) but you can—you know where you'll be three moves from now, so relax.
Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19): Whatever imprisons you, accept it for a bit. Then watch I Love You, Phillip Morris, watch the clouds scoot by, and plan your escape or even your series of escapes. Whatever you do, don't think about Camus' The Stranger. Actually, that's good advice for every week.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): Ignore any and all nay-sayers at the table—you can follow any goals you've set out for yourself. The breath and health and love you want are within reach, just take a good walk to them. Then rest in your cool and wonderful cave. Repeat.
Aries (March 21-April 18): You are as adorable and strange as a little kids' summer camp production of Wicked, only everyone hits the high notes and no one misses their lines. You are the mini-Elphaba to my Glinda heart, and vice versa.
Taurus (April 19-May 18): "I don't know when to start or when to stop
My luck's like a button/ I can't stop pushing it/ My head feels light
But I'm still in the dark/ Seems like without tenderness there's something missing." (General Public)
Gemini (May 19-June 21): To the Gemini who finally found her McDreamy (Several years after Grey's Anatomy became irrelevant, but still.) –it's okay to agonize over what to say in your emails, miss him like crazy until he gets back to town, go ahead and believe in things a little bit!
0 Poetic License Horoscopes for June 15 – 21
By Jane Cassady (You can pre-order For the Comfort of Automated Phrases NOW!):
Happy birthday to my mom, brother, and sister, who were all born on the same day! And! Happy 9-year anniversary to the wonderful Leo who inspires me the most, Amy Lawson. Our family's full of celebration!
Gemini (May 19-June 21): "You are encouraged to change your mind," maybe even sort through all of the things you've said "no" to and try a "yes" here and there. Overturn all of your old thought structures like tilling the soil.
Cancer (June 22-July 23): "Tears and laughter are both welcome," so feel free to emote up a storm this week. Recreational crying is underrated and forced laughter is overused. Be authentic above all else.
Leo (July 24-Aug. 23): "If you're a YES, say YES. If you're a NO, say NO." If you're a "give me a little quiet when I get home from work" or a "make out with me emphatically and at length," then say those things too.
Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 23): "You must ask permission and get a verbal YES before you touch anyone. (Be as specific with your request as you can.)" Make a list of VERY specific bodily requests and check them off as you ask for them. Whether you get a YES or a NO, you get a big, fat gold star just for asking.
Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 21): "Pajamas stay on the whole time." The day, the weekend, the week, as long as you possibly can, stay in bed with your loves, your pets, your books. Don't get up until you are absolutely, unequivocally rested.
Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 22): "You don't have to cuddle anyone at a cuddle party, EVER," or anyplace else for that matter, whether you run to the world with open arms or cordon yourself off with caution tape, make sure it is your happy choice.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 22): "Keep the cuddle space tidy." Take some time to clear out your physical and emotional clutter—yammer it out to a sweetheart or get it all down on the page—you'll feel better and so much clearer.
Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 20): "Respect people's privacy." Take a break from sharing and tagging and "liking" and sit face to face with a stranger, even if you have to come up with a clever nickname for them when you write about it later.
Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19): "WHAT TO WEAR: pajamas." Pajamas are practically a religion in my household. Make altars to your soft pants, sing hosannas to the ribbon drawstrings, kneel down and thank your fuzzy slippers.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): "If you're a maybe, say NO." This week, find at least a little bit of time to do EXACTLY what you want, without any compromising. It's difficult, but it can be done.
Aries (March 21-April 18): "Respect your relationship agreements and communicate with your partner." That includes frequently telling your partner(s) how adorable he/she/they are. And you are adorable too!
Taurus (April 19-May 18): "Get your Cuddle Party Facilitator or the Cuddle Assistant if you have a question or concern or need assistance." Asking for help can be tricky, but give it a whirl. What worries can you delegate, what weights could you live without?

By Jane Cassady (You can pre-order For the Comfort of Automated Phrases NOW!):
Gemini (May 19-June 21): It's time to plan birthday parties, complete with elaborate fireworks and superhero-themed cake. Make a list of all of your presents, tangible and not. Send real paper thank-yous for all.
Cancer (June 22-July 23): Listen to the music of everything your loved ones say. Compose it into melodies and hum along wholeheartedly, as if you're out on the open road, out on the world's best road trip.
Leo (July 24-Aug. 23): Take your summer bonus money and buy a vacation, even if it's a little one-get time to gaze into your sweetie's eyes, write gratuitously in glitter-emblazoned notebooks, or catch up on your Firefly episodes.
Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 23): Do what you need to do and don't worry about who presses "like." Okay, worry a little, that's okay, but for the most part, give yourself to real and present things, like dancing, or walking, or cuddle parties. If you DO try a cuddle party, I promise you this: you will be closer to your inner Reid Mihalko by the end.
Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 21): To the Libra who recently enjoyed a good first date: So much can be accomplished while only sort of watching a movie. So what if you don't remember the plot of Marie Antoinette and I've only seen glimpses and heard synth-mantras of Liquid Sky—say "Let them eat cake!" to you inhibitions and look forward to what comes next.
Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 22): To the Scorpio who keeps having a little tree stolen out of the pot on the front stoop: don't give up. Keep planting. Yes, over and over. I think maybe that's what some of life is.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 22): The stars wonder how you have been doing lately—how are your poems? Are you still writing them every day? Are you still a Tasmanian Devil flurry of paragraphs? Do you still note and collect motivational quotes? If so, please send the stars some. We can always use more.
Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 20): Throw yourself a party like the ones they used to have in grade school, before sugar was outlawed. Find a cute someone to help pour the punch. Deal out cookies of celebration onto plates. Have the loudest and most cheerful game of Apples to Apples you've ever known.
Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19): Go past what you see at first glimpse this week. Tell your assumptions to take a vacation and get as in-depth as you can.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): "Strive for what you deserve. Don't go for second best, baby!" (My pal Joseph Prisco, sensibly quoting Madonna) Write out and follow all the best advice you give and get. Make whatever changes you need to. Also: put your love to the test.
Aries (March 21-April 18): Well, Sally Draper is a woman now. You're ready for rites of passage as well—go ahead, go forward, someone will be there to help you settle in.
Taurus (April 19-May 18): Yesterday at my afterschool program job, we had the most amazing talent show ever. This week'll be like that for you—imagine children singing acapella versions of uplifting radio hits, making spontaneous collaborative art, playing the piano, and reading poetry. It gets really raucous toward the end. Don't be afraid to clap along!
0 Poetic License Horoscopes for June 1 – 7
By Jane Cassady (You can pre-order For the Comfort of Automated Phrases NOW!):
Gemini (May 19-June 21): Even more than usual, listen to song lyric for messages. Shuffle, the radio, the dreamy music over the credits, they've got something important to tell you.
Cancer (June 22-July 23): To the Cancer who just got into an MFA program: CONGRATULATIONS! You are worth every writing minute. fill your notebook with answers and forms and formulae. You'll be even more yourself.
Leo (July 24-Aug. 23): to the Leo who's moving when the lease is up: Your new place may or may not have a garden, its own washer-dryer, or a tall-person's shower, but I promise you this: quiet, a fresh start, more windows that open. You and your love and your cats will be happy and safe.
Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 23): You've been taking a break and now you're frustrated, but I promise you—time to heal and read novels, to finish your homework, to take up half-assed yoga again, all the time you are taking for yourself will pay off in snuggly, sweaty, musky dividends, sooner than you think.
Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 21): Buy yourself a T-shirt that says "I want to cuddle you so hard." Wear it someplace where snuggles are likely, which, for someone like you, is everywhere.
Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 22): Be naked wherever you can, even if you're just doing the dishes or sitting around watching TV. Feel everything against your beautiful skin, the sun on your shoulders, the breeze on your knees.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 22): When my book was accepted last fall, I was warned many times about how difficult the editing process would be, what a nightmare. Actually, it was an ease and a pleasure—sometimes things actually work out to be easier than you thought. Things match up sometimes, notice miracles like that.
Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 20): The other day at my after school program job, when I launched into one of my many rousing speeches, a favorite student made me a sign that said "Teachable moment!!!" This week, put your two cents on whenever you see fit, maybe even a little more often than usual.
Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19): Think of all the things you loved but stopped doing, and pick a few of them up again. Let me know what you find—discarded games, old rituals, new geysers of inspiration.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): To the Pisces celebrating a book release this week: The stars are there with you, of course, blazing with pride, cheering you on. May the night be every sweet thing you ever wished for, your book's spine strong, your loving friends elated.
Aries (March 21-April 18): Last week on Mad Men, Peggy Olson realized her worth. She took a raise and moved on to an agency where she could shine. Give notice to something that's already expired and get what you deserve.
Taurus (April 19-May 18): No matter what you do, some connections stay with you, invisible ribbons looping their way across the city or across the world. Love them until they fade or never do. Learn what you can from them.
0 Poetic License Horoscopes for May 25 – 31
By Jane Cassady (You can pre-order For the Comfort of Automated Phrases on May 31!):
Gemini (May 19-June 21): After having four kids, my sister had her tubes tied. She always said she wouldn't be surprised if her operation was one of the .5 percent that didn't work. Turns out, she was still pretty surprised (but overjoyed). Get ready for blessing as lavish and shocking as hers.
Cancer (June 22-July 23): On last week's Girls, Hannah took a trip home and caught a glimpse of what life in her hometown would've been like if she'd stayed. For one thing, guys there don't talk dirty enough. Take a moment to appreciate the many and varied benefits of how far you've traveled.
Leo (July 24-Aug. 23): Whatever new hobby you're working on, you're about to be moved up from the beginner class to the intermediate level. Give yourself a hug, a gold star, a butterscotch sundae and a backrub. You deserve every reward.
Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 23): You keep dreaming of people you've lost, reuniting, taking their hands, visiting for Christmas. Whatever is missing is drifting towards you like a misty ex in a dream. Take his hand and go forward.
Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 21): (Kind of a meta-scope) Looking at the horoscopes from last year is kind of melancholy—I was in love with a Libra who's long gone. I'm glad that at least there's art to preserve temporary love, make it a little bit permanent.
Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 22): My therapist says it is possible to learn not to cry for hours about the everyday insensitivities that are part of life. If I learn this, I will have all kinds of extra time. I think I will use it for snuggling.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 22): Break up with "Whatever You Like" by T.I. and start going out with "So Good" by B.O.B. Always choose the song in when the Shorty gets more choices.
Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 20): In the classroom I am observing, students are trying to show that they are "ready for second grade." If they prove they are, they get a badge to wear around all day. You've earned your "Ready for whatever comes next" badge. Wear it proudly.
Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19): Sometimes you have to hunker down and be a grown up. Other times (like this week) you should do the opposite. Throw a tantrum, play hooky, stay home and read a novel under the covers. You've earned it by being so good the rest of the time.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): To the Pisces turning her guest room into a studio: good for you. I'll gladly take the air mattress so that you can have space to make bird-print pillows, write poems, or stare dreamily out the window. Can't wait to see what you'll come up with.
Aries (March 21-April 18): My favorite episodes of Mad Med are the ones where Don hangs out with women as friends. Put on your old-timey hat and go get drunk with a gorgeous Joan-esque buddy. But unlike don, take a cab home.
Taurus (April 19-May 18): I had a dream about you. We were visiting you for Christmas. I took your hand and introduced you to every single person in my whole family. You were waiting by the computer to hear back about a very special opportunity. Good luck!

By Jane Cassady (If you love Poetic License Horoscopes, you'll REALLY love For the Comfort of Automated Phrases, Jane's debut collection of poetry. It's coming in July. Pre-order it starting June 1!):
Taurus (April 19-May 18): If there's someplace you can go where everybody's pretty and special and fun, go to there. You'll fit right in and find exactly what you need!
Gemini (May 19-June 21): Last weekend, we spent a fair number of hours playing Wii Jeopardy with my family, and here's what I think: It's much more enjoyable on the easy setting. Alex Trebek is less fun without the mustache. My Mii is due for a makeover. The answers are less like questions every day. (Confidential to K.C:YAAAAAAAY!)
Cancer (June 22-July 23): Next time it rains, play hooky and catch up on your pleasure reading. Take one or several naps—you need to catch up on your dreaming to defragment your subconscious and start anew.
Leo (July 24-Aug. 23): "Take my love, take my land/ Take me where I cannot stand/ I don't care, I'm still free/ You can't take the sky from me." (Firefly theme song) It's a good time for a rewatch, isn't it, dear?
Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 23): Give gifts to your inner teenager. Write her letters to tell her she is worthy and pretty. Indulge in the power-ballads of the Nineties. To paraphrase Motley Crue, you're on your way, you're on your wa-aa-ay, home sweet home.
Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 21): I like when I ask for request and people write entire predictions for me! Guest Libra Sam Richman says: "Your primal urges are pulling you into the forest and onto the dance floor. Keep listening to your body – there is ancient, inherited wisdom in it. Libras are all about heart, and the heart is often associated with sweetness & sensitivity, but it is also a muscular organ, and yours grows stronger every day."
Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 22): It's okay to crowd-source inspiration of you're all out—ask your friends, both virtual and IRL, to send you love songs, attention, strength. They are sure to send exactly what you need.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 22): The answer to "Should I just go to sleep?" is usually "yes." Go head, go to bed at 7:30 if you want to, you'll wake up feeling like it's a holiday.
Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 20): Try someplace new. Take your book and a notebook. Write something or nothing. Read the bulletin board or stare into space. Strike up a conversation with a stranger and find out all of his or her adventures.
Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19): Your keyword for the week is "open." Open your heart. Open the window and smell the rain. Open a book and don't close it again til morning. Open your plans up for something new.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): "We are not what they think we are, we are golden, we are golden." (MIKA) This week, MIKA is your spirit animal—be more like him, a silly, happy, lollipop dream.
Aries (March 21-April 18): "At some point one's prayers will become/ so powerful that they ca shake a full tree/ in an orchard in heaven and fruit will roll/ through the streets in this world." (Hafiz)
0 Poetic License Horoscopes for May 11 – 17
By Jane Cassady (For the Comfort of Automated Phrases is coming in July!):
Taurus (April 19-May 18): It's okay to keep consoling yourself for what you've lost. It still aches, that's okay, because it's important. You are going to get exponential goodwill in return, runaway growth.
Gemini (May 19-June 21): Rewrite your past so that you have everything you've ever needed, so that you were always treated like a precious jewel every minute, no one ever let you be unsafe. I think you'll find yourself missing what you've learned from all the crimps and deficiencies—these are their own weird luxury.
Cancer (June 22-July 23): "I wanna thank you, for letting me, be myself again." (Sly and the Family Stone) the encouragement you give out will have such a huge effect, you may never know. Write letters to buoy up your friends' spirit–it will always work.
Leo (July 24-Aug. 23): My wife watches Sherlock, so I asked her what we could learn from Benedict Cumberbatch. She said "Everything you need to know is almost right in front of you." Okay—open your eyes to the clues.
Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 23): On last week's Mad Men, Megan left the agency to follow her dream of being an actress; It's the same for you, except you don't have to quit anything. Just follow the path you're on now, glide along your trajectory—it's that easy.
Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 21): If you take a nice walk with a friend and see a bird you've never seen before, (say, for instance, a hermit thrush) take that as a sign that there are so many new, pretty little things ready to hop into your life, to show you their plumage. It's okay to let them.
Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 22): Make time for yourself, and make it special. Take yourself on dates to the fanciest restaurants, the grandest museums. Buy yourself flowers and chocolate pianos. Make yourself a mixtape as only you know how. Be the great love of your life, and you are sure to get lucky.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 22): Should you find yourself laughing or in tears or ecstatic at an inopportune moment, settle into it. Go ahead and be inappropriate—sometimes emotion trumps everything.
Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 20): I've been married almost nine years and I recently found out that my wife has a talent for rope bondage. Life is magical like that—everyone's full of riches and secrets and mischief. Enjoy.
Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19): Don't get Pretty Friend Syndrome. It isn't always your friend's job to be the belle of the ball—sometimes it's you. Take your newfound confidence and use it to make genuine connections, to make a new life for yourself.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): Be like Leslie Knope going after her doofus opponent in the city council debate. Let your passions speak for you, there is absolutely no reason to hold them back.
Aries (March 21-April 18): To the Aries in a long-distance love affair—it's worth it, isn't it? How much love can be contained in a text? What kind of hot strange sex can you have over Skype? Right now you are both buzzing with potential, let it be so much.

Show Us The Money: Bill Calls For Early Financial Disclosure
Hawaii legislators are required to file public financial disclosure statements by May 31 of each year.
But that falls after the end of the regular legislative session, which usually wraps up business by the first week in May.
That makes it difficult to find out the connections lawmakers might have with groups and issues before the Hawaii Legislature, and whether there are potential conflicts of interests.
Should a lawmaker who works for a company, for example, be allowed to vote on legislation that would impact that company directly?

File No. 113by Emile Gaboriau
In the Paris evening papers of Tuesday, February 28, 1866, under the head of /Local Items/, the following announcement appeared: "A daring robbery, committed against one of our most eminent bankers, M. Andre Fauvel, caused great excitement this morning throughout the neighborhood of Rue de Provence. "The thieves, who were as skilful as they were bold, succeeded in making an entrance to the bank, in forcing the lock of a safe that has heretofore been considered impregnable, and in possessing themselves of the enormous sum of three hundred and fifty thousand francs in bank-notes.

Obama Wants Your Healthcare Records
Obamacare is an invasion of privacy.
Is privacy an illusion?
For years we have been hearing about "the right to privacy" emanating from the penumbra of rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution and the legal protections that flow from it. This is particularly true in the area of medical care, where the bond between a doctor and a patient is treated in roughly the same terms as that which exists between penitent and priest.
Now that Obamacare is the law of the land we have to ask if privacy still exists. Or, if it is now a fiction, it will be honored in the breach rather than in the observance as far as the federal government is concerned.
[Check out our editorial cartoons on healthcare.]
Confused? You shouldn't be—not if you've followed what the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is doing as it prepares for Obamacare's implementation. To put it simply, HHS is making plans to get its hands on your health care records, one way or another, whether you want them to have it or not.
The department's first choice is to collect them directly. If they can't manage that, Plan B is to require the states to collect the data and take it from there. Plan C is to lean on health insurers, using a new regulatory scheme that would require private companies to crunch the data according to new federal mandates the ways the feds want it.
It's a frightening prospect, any way you look at it. The government's track record in keeping confidential information private is not exactly stellar. Writing recently in the Washington Examiner, Kansas Republican Rep. Tim Huelskamp—who is helping to lead the charge against what HHS wants to do—asked, "What happens to the federal government if it loses a laptop full of patient data or business information? What recourse do individual citizens have against an inept bureaucrat who leaves the computer unlocked? Imagine a WikiLeaks-sized disclosure of every Americans' health histories. The results could be devastating—embarrassing—even Orwellian."
[Read: Obama's Healthcare, Economic Policy Makes Slaves of Our Children]
Huelskamp is right—and it is good that he is sounding the alarm. He does not exaggerate when he says, "With its extensive rule-making decrees, Obamacare has been an exercise in creating authority out of thin air at the expense of individuals' rights, freedoms, and liberties."
We were told that Obamacare was necessary because too many Americans were without health insurance—which is not the same thing as them being without medical care when it is needed. Rather than fix the stated problem, however, it has made things worse, even before it is fully implemented. According to some recent estimates more than 1 million Americans have lost their coverage in the period since Obamacare became law.
This is not progress. Not unless the ultimate goal is to produce a plan so confusing and so ineffectual that a Canadian-style "single payer" could only look good by comparison.
[See photos from the final week of the healthcare debate.]
Under the current administration, it is not public works projects that are "shovel ready" so much as it might be the poor, the sick, and the elderly. Letting the federal government get its hands on everybody's health care records seems to be a necessary first step on the road to rationing and other "unintended consequences" that are all too predictable. Obamacare needs to be scrapped. We need to start all over again to develop a patient-centered, doctor-friendly system of insurance and care that everyone can live with.

On Ghosts and the Supernatural
by Sean Gabb
One of my readers has asked me to give up for the moment on political controversy—where I have been, during this present year, writing with equal passion and lack of influence—and turn instead to the existence of ghosts. Here, I will oblige him to the best of my ability.
When asked about ghosts, Dr Johnson once affirmed their existence, giving in support the universal testimony of mankind. He had a point. In all times and places, and often without external influence, people have believed in life after death. Our earliest recognisable ancestors buried each other with their household goods, thereby showing a belief that these would be of continued use. Every nation of which I know has believed that the dead could be somehow brought in contact with the living. In the 12th book of the Odyssey, for example, Ulysses sacrifices a sheep, fills a trench with its blood, and waits for the ghosts that surround him to drink until they become visible and he can question them. In the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh—which I have yet to read—I believe that the spirits of the dead are summoned and questioned. My Chinese and Japanese students have told me some of their own traditional ghost stories. Turn where you will, people believe and have believed in ghosts. Who am I to doubt such universal testimony?

Dynamics Mobile Instructor Led Course
APPA Mundi's Microsoft Dynamics® Mobile training courses last three days and teach you how to:
- Use the Microsoft Dynamics® Mobile Development Tools to develop and customise mobile applications for Microsoft Dynamics®
- How to deploy and manage mobile applications using the Mobile Server
- How to use, deploy and customise the Mobile Sales application from Microsoft Dynamics®
Microsoft Dynamics® Mobile | Instructor Led Courses | Booking | Onsite Training | Online Training | Support and Consultancy
Course Outline
The course runs over three days during which you will learn how to develop, deploy and manage mobile applications that extend the power of Microsoft Dynamics® NAV or Microsoft Dynamics® AX to handheld devices.
Day 1
During the first day of the course, you will learn how to develop applications using the Mobile Framework component of the Microsoft Dynamics® Mobile Tools.
The Mobile Framework enables you to build modularized mobile business applications tailored to specific roles in your company. Using the Mobile Framework (an extension of Visual Studio® 2005) developers can quickly create mobile applications from reusable components called tasklets. Tasklets can be combined in different ways to cater to the needs of individuals. This RoleTailored architecture leverages the power of Windows Mobile®-based devices and helps mobile users become more effective and efficient in their daily tasks.
The architecture of the Mobile Framework makes it easy to reuse, deploy, and combine individual tasklets with customer-specific processes or work flows. Mobile applications created with the Mobile Framework operate on any QVGA device that runs on Windows Mobile 5.0/6. Communication with the back end server is done through XML Web services handled by the Mobile Server.
Day 2
During day 2, you will learn how to configure and manage the Mobile Server component of the Microsoft Dynamics® Mobile Tools.
The Mobile Server provides the technology infrastructure to connect your mobile business applications with Microsoft Dynamics® supporting different networks such as WiFi and GPRS.
The Mobile Server enables applications to work offline as well as online and takes advantage of a local database to enable offline operation during periods of limited or no network connectivity.
A management console snap-in, Deployment, manages the deployment of mobile applications to mobile devices. Document service helps ensure the communication between the mobile devices and Microsoft Dynamics®.
Day 3
The final day covers the Mobile Sales application, which is a full proof of concept example application from Microsoft Dynamics® Mobile. You can use this as the basis of your own solutions, or as a learning tool to discover how design and implement applications using the Mobile Development Tools. During this day, you will learn how to install and customise the Mobile Sales application.
Mobile Sales is RoleTailored and task-driven and an ideal solution for field sales representatives and other mobile employees who need to work in remote locations. Using Mobile Sales, field sales representatives can plan visits, review relevant sales information, and create orders. Mobile employees can use the calendar and task functionality of Microsoft Pocket Outlook® directly from the application to get a full view of their daily activities.
Mobile Sales consists of small task components, tasklets, which can be combined in numerous ways to cater to individual needs. Mobile Sales can work offline as well as online and takes advantage of a local database to enable offline operation.
Mobile Sales supports barcode scanning and works with Microsoft Office Mobile to provide access to tasks and appointments via Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 on a Windows Mobile powered device.
Target Audience
This training is intended for people with the following goals and level of experience:
- Solutions Architects who wish to design mobile applications that integrate with Microsoft Dynamics® NAV or Microsoft Dynamics® AX. Prior experience of designing solutions for Microsoft Dynamics® is not required. Experience of developing .NET applications using Visual Studio is recommended.
- Application Developers who want to build applications using the Microsoft Dynamics® Mobile Development Tools. At least one year experience of developing .NET applications using Visual Studio is required. Experience of developing applications for Windows Mobile is not required.
- Development Team Leaders who will be responsible for leading a team of developers building mobile applications using the Microsoft Dynamics® Mobile Development Tools. At least one year experience of developing .NET applications using Visual Studio is required. Experience of developing applications for Windows Mobile is not required.

Firefighters put out a mattress that had caught fire in the bedroom of a home on Howard Street in Watertown.
According to scanner reports, the fire department arrived at about 4:45 p.m. Thursday at the home and went into the upstairs bedroom and doused the flames. The carried a hose with them but did not have water running in the line, according to the scanner.
They dragged the mattress out of the house and left it outside.
As of 5:05 p.m., firefighters remain at the home to do a medical evaluation of the residents of the home and make sure the flames have not spread.


text: A courtroom drama with a difference. The tribunal in question, in one family's courtyard in a poor neighborhood in the capital of Mali, has no legal power but plenty of moral authority: its unofficial judges are trying the World Bank and the I.M.F. for their role in Africa's economic and social crises. Like all trials, this one opens the floodgates to rhetorical posturing, but the director, Abderrahmane Sissako, quickly gets past the bluster with careful, canny framings and poignant vignettes of daily life in and around the courtyard. With a light touch, a dry wit, and vast sympathy, he sketches the local ways of birth, death, health, work, art, law, and love—and suggests their painfully frustrating dependence on bureaucratic levers pulled half a world away.

Cirrus Aircraft Partners Unite to Grow General Aviation
Cirrus Aircraft today announced the details of its 2014 JumpStart ProgramSM
DULUTH, Minn., Feb. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cirrus Aircraft today announced the details of its 2014 JumpStart ProgramSM, aimed to give more new pilots a comprehensive introduction to general aviation by learning to fly in a Cirrus. The program is a unique collaboration between Cirrus Aircraft, Cirrus' largest vendor suppliers and Cirrus' flight training partners to allow first-time pilots to train in new, fully-equipped Cirrus airplanes. Innovative JumpStart Program components include both special incentives and growth opportunities for the flight schools and sponsor owners.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140212/CG64523)
"With JumpStart, Cirrus Aircraft and this special group of partners are making a very real investment in expanding aviation," said Todd Simmons, Executive Vice President Sales, Marketing and Support at Cirrus Aircraft. "When new pilots learn and train in a Cirrus – a modern aircraft design with state-of-the-art technology, performance and safety systems – they are more likely to stay committed to aviation, to aircraft ownership and to accessing the personal and small business benefits that only GA can provide. The Cirrus Aircraft JumpStart Program helps make that introduction to flight and all its benefits easier by enhancing the flight training experience and reducing those initial ownership barriers."
2014 JumpStart Program
Cirrus Aircraft has designated 12 brand new and fully equipped SR20s that will be available exclusively to its Cirrus training center partners in select markets across the country. Both an ideal training and personal transportation airplane, the Cirrus SR20 cruises at 155 knots with a range of 785 nautical miles. Docile and easy to fly, these special JumpStart configured airplanes come equipped with the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System™ (CAPS) like every Cirrus ever produced. Additional features include Cirrus Perspective™ avionics by Garmin®, digital autopilots with Enhanced Stability and Protection, a keyboard controller, Synthetic Vision Technology, optional XM Weather and Audio, and more. Other advancements include Cirrus' New Integrated LED Lighting Technology™ and luxury automotive style 60/40 FlexSeating™. Combining the most spacious family-friendly cabin in its class with air conditioning, the SR20 balances technology, comfort and performance in an easy-to-fly package.
After a training partner takes delivery of their SR20 as part of the JumpStart Program, Cirrus helps the partner establish the aircraft in their fleet as a key business differentiator. Another unique aspect of the JumpStart program is the option for sponsor owners to purchase a Cirrus airplane and lease it back to a Cirrus training center, with special incentives available to the owner.
The program was field tested in select markets in late 2012 with encouraging early results throughout 2013. "We have experienced firsthand the impact of having a new SR20 on the line as it has proven to be a clear competitive advantage," says Bob Stedman, Principal at Independence Aviation, the Platinum Cirrus Training Center in Denver, Colo. "Both Cirrus Aircraft as a company and the airplanes themselves...we couldn't ask for a stronger partner to help us stand out and attract new customers. We are seeing real results."
Team Effort
The JumpStart opportunity for Cirrus training partners is made possible by significant commitments from seven important suppliers. "Cirrus Aircraft is very innovative in its thinking about how to reach a broader audience of new pilots and potential aircraft owners," says Carl Wolf, Vice President, Aviation Sales and Marketing at Garmin International. "The JumpStart Program is the latest example and in this case gives us all the opportunity to grow our businesses through partnership in the JumpStart program."

All Sato Rescue (ASR) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives, and reducing the numbers, of abandoned dogs in Puerto Rico. (Sato is Puerto Rican slang for a stray mutt.) We rescue and rehome Satos, and we also strive to address the root causes of overpopulation, abuse, and neglect through initiatives aimed at raising public awareness, facilitating low-cost spay and neuter, and expanding the involvement of the judiciary and government in implementing humane solutions.
Now that your 1040 is in, it's time to start thinking about what to do with your tax refund! Feel good about how you spend it. Can you help us by donating $10.40 to help abandoned, abused, and injured dogs in Puerto Rico?
We received word of an injured dog on Los Tubos Beach in Manati last week. We contacted a rescuer and friend in the area who drove to the beach and found this sweet dog. We've named her Pumpkin. Unfortunately, her leg had to be amputated, but the good news is that she is stable and in good spirits, and will soon go back to a foster home to recover.
Victims of a backyard breeder, Cotton Ball and Cotton Puff were dumped at a vet clinic to be euthanized. But, an All Sato Rescue volunteer had something else in mind. She swept them away and arranged for foster care. Unfortunately, they are still a long way away from a happy ending. Cotton Puff has severe hip issues and will need $1,500 in orthopedic surgery and Cotton Ball has been gravely ill from a tick-born disease. Despite being in chronic pain, they love everyone they meet. Please help these two brothers receive the care they need to have the lives they deserve.
Thanks to your generosity, we raised enough money to pay for Angelito's surgery! Here he is resting comfortably following the procedure to fix his leg. We are grateful for the woman who saved Angelito from abuse who is also fostering him while he recovers. Also, special thanks to each person who donated, and to Dr. Mongil for performing the surgery. Angelito is expected to make a full recovery!!!
Angelito is a special Sato in need of your help! A couple weeks ago, a friend of All Sato Rescue saw Angelito in her neighborhood Condominio Parques de Cupey. Then a few days ago she saw him again, but this time he was injured. He had been hit with a bat, or some hard object.
After an examination we learned that Angelito's femur and knee were broken. One of the amazing veterinarians we work with, who is a skilled surgeon, is able to perform the kind of surgery needed to fix Angelito's leg which could allow for him to have a full recovery. This type of surgery typically costs around $1,500.
Angelito is 5-6 months old. Humane Society of Puerto Rico is getting him neutered and is also sponsoring his vaccinations and his post surgery recovery. We are in a race against time because the sooner Dr. Mongil can operate the better. Can you help Angelito by chipping in a few dollars?

Jeff Bridges at SeaChange: 'Oceana Abides'
Last Friday, more than 350 guests attended Oceana's third annual SeaChange Summer Party in Laguna Beach, California, which raised over 1 million dollars for ocean conservation.
Jeff Bridges and Pierce Brosnan were the special guests of the evening, and other celebs in attendance included Morgan Freeman, Ted Danson, Sam Waterston, Diane Lane, Mark Paul Gosselaar, Eric Balfour and Kristin Bauer.
Bridges, who recently scored an Oscar for his role as country singer "Bad Blake" in "Crazy Heart," gave a surprise performance. Afterwards he charmed the "Lebowski" fans in the audience by quipping, "Oceana abides."
All in all, a fantastic night for ocean conservation.

Spinning Wheels, Turning Profits
For wheel service, shops can't just change tires–they need to change minds
When it comes to wheel service repairs, shops and their customers need to ask: Is the tech knowledgeable about the service? Is he up-to-date on the techniques? And what are equipment manufacturers doing to help? Large and small repair shops need to know how to perform the service, but also how to turn a profit.
Equipment manufacturers know that any challenges associated with tire and wheel repair must be countered with appropriate and effective solutions.
"Today, even something as simple as changing a tire opens up the possibility of introducing vibration problems that were not as prevalent a few years ago," said David Scribner, product manager for Hunter Engineering.
"The simple act of removing the tire wheel from a vehicle can lead to mounting errors; the chassis today and the tire spring rate both lend themselves to much more potential for vibration in service repairs."
Years ago, Scribner said, many techs "probably could've gotten away with just doing a simple repair. Now [you can risk] centering or eccentricity errors on the vehicle."
The expanding range in wheel applications also means a more involved procedure.
"It's a big challenge techs face," said Kevin Keefe, vice president of marketing at Hennessy Industries. He said that this can especially have a big impact when techs are mounting tires.
"I'm hoping that we're hitting the upper end of size and weight on passenger cars and light truck tires and wheels.
"The size is no longer the big challenge from an equipment perspective; there are enough machines out there [you can use for] big, high-performance, low-profile custom wheel applications."
Scribner agrees that low-profile wheel applications are complicated.
"Style has added to the complexity of service. With the road-feel of the passenger car now, [drivers] can feel more things on the road—it's a European-type of feel — and it's a combination of things creating challenges that balancing alone does not solve," said Scribner.
Keefe said the challenge is training techs to fix these issues accurately.
"We've seen an evolution as run-flats and low-profile and the custom-wheel market started growing. It started out that the manufacturers of tire changers were adapting their existing equipment to handle them.
"Custom wheels and high/ultra-high performance applications have gotten so common that you'll see a lot more changes that are specialized toward handling that segment. The problem is, many times the procedures required to service these applications on high-end equipment is far different than what they are for your run-of-the-mill, 16-inch passenger car wheel. So it creates training challenges," said Keefe.
Some machines
let techs perform the same process for 14" Honda Civic wheels as they
do 30" Hummer wheels. The process is streamlined, but operators can use "helper
devices" and assists to a varying extent.
With this equipment, designers also found that "having the controls at the point-of-use rather than having the device remotely controlled gets a lot more success; the technician is more focused on proper tire service procedures rather than trying to figure out how to operate the design," said Keefe.
This not only eliminates wasted motion, but it maintains productivity and bay clearance.
On the balancer side, the challenge isn't so much the balancer itself, it's being able to mount the tire and wheel assembly, and center it on the balancer shaft in the same manner in which it's going to be centered on the vehicle.
"This process varies depending on if you've got a hub-centric OE wheel, or a lug-centric aftermarket wheel. Each drives the need for the kind of different mounting procedures," said Keefe.

Retractable Radial Rocket
A new option for New Century Aerosport's mini-fighter
February 10, 2011 —Jeffery Ackland, maker of the Radial Rocket TD, is a longtime taildragger pilot and advocate, but count him among the converted since making the first flight in his newly designed Radial Rocket RG (retractable gear) homebuilt, which comes in nosewheel configuration. "Combining the retractable gear option with a nosewheel configuration provides the best of both worlds - improved performance and ease of ground handling," said Ackland, of New Century Aerosport, Olathe, Kansas. "The RG significantly lessens the pilot's workload."
First flight of the new RG model took place at Johnson County Executive Airport in Olathe, Kansas, in mid-December 2010. The first customer-built plane is in final assembly and a maiden flight is expected this spring, Ackland said.
"This opens up the Radial Rocket experience to a much wider range of pilots," he added. The new design, based on the TD, has the look and feel – and performance - of a fighter aircraft. Some compare it to a Sea Fury, Bearcat, or even a FW 190. And it's now available as a comprehensive airframe kit, with available customized build-assist options.
The Radial Rocket RG, like its older taildragger sibling, features a composite airframe designed for aerobatics. Power comes from the 360-hp M-14P nine-cylinder, geared radial engine. The company claims a 242-mph high-speed cruise, or 210 mph at the economy setting. The RG is also spacious, maintaining the TD's 34-inch wide pilot compartment (30 inches for the co-pilot).
The electro-hydraulic gear retraction system uses an electric motor driving a hydraulic pump to actuate individual hydraulic cylinders for each gear leg. This produces quick four- to five-second extension/retraction. A simple emergency gear extension uses a pressure release valve located in the flight deck that, when actuated, allows the gear to freefall into position. Gear freefall is assisted by springs exerting over-center pressure on the nose gear drag brace, and main gear side braces.
The airplane's one-piece wing has two full-length I-beam spars/carbon fiber spar caps that provide maximum strength with minimum weight. Extended wingtips increase the overall span by 16 inches as opposed to the TD - to offset the slightly increased empty weight and preserve climb/stall performance.
A natural laminar flow airfoil (NLF) design combined with an electrically actuated slotted flap system provides excellent airfoil performance throughout the speed range, Ackland said.
As opposed to the TD, which swings a huge, 98-inch diameter three-blade constant speed MT propeller, the RG has a four-blade 80-inch MT prop. Kit price is listed at $74,500.

Russia train bombing: sign of new terror tactics?
Russia analysts say security forces are unprepared for terror attacks, like Friday's train bombing, executed by small terrorist cells.
MOSCOW – The worst terrorist attack to hit the Russian heartland in five years was almost certainly engineered by Islamist extremists, who are increasingly active in Russia's volatile northern Caucasus region, say analysts.Skip to next paragraph

On Friday, a luxury train, the Nevsky Express that runs between Moscow and St. Petersburg, was derailed by a bomb, killing at least 25 people and injuring almost 100.
Russian security experts say security forces here are not prepared for this new form of terrorism.
"It seems most likely that this attack can be traced to the northern Caucasus," says Yury Korgunyuk, an expert with the InDem Foundation in Moscow, an independent think tank.
"This explodes the official myth that the problems down there have been 'sorted out' and that terrorism has been finally dealt with. The fact is that our security forces have been engaged in everything but combating terrorism," he adds.
Andrei Soldatov, editor of Agentura.ru, an Internet journal that reports on security issues (an English-language version is here) says that Russia's security forces, at great cost, did manage to crush the large-scale terrorist operations mounted by Chechen terrorist Shamil Basayev, such as the 2002 siege of a Moscow theater, and the 2004 Beslan school assault, in which scores of terrorist commandos sometimes moved hundreds of miles to hit their targets.
But, he says, like generals preparing for the last war, Russian security services remain fixated on preventing big, spectacular attacks like those of the recent past, instead of preparing for smaller-scale strikes at targets of opportunity, such as the bombings of the Nevsky Express.
"We see new modus operandi taking shape, in which tiny cells of terrorists of 3 to 5 people plan and execute acts of sabotage," he says. "But our security forces have militarized this problem, and are not set up to deal with small threats like that. The main agency dealing with anti-terrorism is the Interior Ministry, which basically operates an internal army. They are in no way ready for what may be coming," he says.
As if to underscore that point, another bomb went off Monday in the southern republic of Dagestan, striking an international train traveling from Tyumen, in Siberia, to Baku in Azerbaijan. No one was injured in that blast, but some analysts say there are clear signs that terrorists, who have never ceased operations amid turbulent Caucasus republics like Dagestan, Ingushetia, and Chechnya, may be preparing to resume more ambitious attacks upon Russia.

the debit card.
The next time I sit down to pay bills, I'll start transiting over autopayments.
I joined Sound Credit Union. Their branch is over by the new Wal-Mart, not my favorite location, but I'll live.
Step two will be to get my husband to go over and sign the cards, so he can be on the account, too.
Step three will be to order checks. I don't want to do that until step two is completed.
When we moved here, I did research on all the local community banks, and decided to go with Pacific First Federal Savings because they had an excellent record of lending to all people in the community.
Washington Mutual bought PFF. That was tough, but at that time, WaMu was still a local savings bank, and we went along with it.
Fast forward to the Great Recession. WaMu craters under its load of junky loans. It is purchased by Chase.
We now have our accounts at Chase, as far away from PFF conceptually as one may go. I am all too aware that we are supporting the irresponsibility of the financial system by keeping our accounts there.
I have no time, I really don't, to deal with this. But I feel strongly that it must get done. So if I can not do it personally, I will need to oversee it happening. My husband, bless his heart, is unemployed – is there some way I can persuade him to spend time on this? What about my daughter? Does she have spare time? How can she protest at Occupy Seattle and not see the contradiction of having a Chase debit card in her wallet?
November 5 is move your money to a credit union day. I will attempt to see this completed by that day.
The first task is to research which credit unions we could belong to. The ones that are near where we live are:
Boeing Employees Credit Union
First Technology Credit Union
Watermark Credit Union
Qualstar Credit Union
AlaskaUSA Federal Credit Union
All of these are just as convenient as our local Chase branch. Arguably, since First Tech is next to Trader Joe's, while it's a little further away, it's actually more convenient.
