Mars semi-square Neptune on your solar return chart indicates a mixed year. You look to ways to augment your income but remember that it takes solid planning not mere ideas. You could be stressed while meeting people's expectations and approval. However you would be quite rational in your approach while resolving challenges. Routine matters at work progress smoothly though you may face some delays in new assignments and projects. A spiritual mentor will play an important role. Travel will bring in gains and would also be rejuvenating. Family matters and plans gain momentum and children do you proud.
You may get stuck between two different sides, and neither may be robust enough to help you take a firm decision. A loved one may distract you, so try not to get sidetracked. At work, relationships may turn a little complex. New opportunities may surface if you make an effort to go out and form new contacts. Think about your long-term career goals.
Casual mingling can lead to unexpected meetings, so be careful of whom you meet and what you commit. There's a strong possibility of a job change or fruitful business partnerships, in particular for those in marketing jobs. However, don't wait for opportunities to fall into your lap. If you need to start a healthcare regime, now is a good time to do so.
Your finances seem a bit shaky for the next few days. Irrespective of how much you feel like relaxing, return your attention to work and career. The next few days are strictly for taking care of your work-related issues and credit-card receipts. Today can be the most rewarding for marketing projects. You will be able to handle stress in your personal relations quite successfully.
At work, you may feel a bit stressed today as you are expected to handle more tasks than you can handle. You could also be distracted by important professional matters. In the later part of the day, you may have some memorable moments with loved ones. A get together with friends seems likely. The day is likely to be marked by a certain sensuality.
Success could be yours today! You need to get away from a dull routine to find some mental relaxation. Your love life is moving towards tranquility. Your thirst for life brings you closer to your partner. At work, while ideas will be encouraged, it is better not to begin a new assignment today. Be more careful with communications, especially with seniors.
Today seems excellent for beginning and developing personal relationships. You are open to compromise, which makes you even more attractivein love matters. In financial matters, don't forget to consider the other side of the coin. However, an unexpected support may improve your financial situation.You may get tempted to spend lavishly on comfort items and travel.
Today is an excellent day for balancing your dreams with reality, but you must work extra hard to achieve the desired results. The Stars are positioned well to help you reach your goals. At work, you may face some challenges. Stay firm and don't run away; the rewards are worth all the hardships. It is better to put finance-related decisions on hold for some time.
You could get in trouble if you arenot careful with your speech today. Itis high time that you incorporate a healthy diet and exercise into your life with serious intention. Try to balance work and leisure and listen to your body's needs. Taking care of your health will help you face the challenges. You are very dynamic at work and have boosted charisma in public settings.
Now is the time to savor the close-knit vibes, and spend quality time with your loved ones. A profitable opportunity for earning extra income may come your way. Be sure to go for it! Your positive attitude is your biggest advantage right now. You may discover creative talents and find new citing outlets for self-expression. Your health, especially respiratory organs, may require some attention.
You seem to say the right things at the right time today. Love matters will be fruitful, and your lover will be especially attracted to your style of communication. Children may figure more strongly in your life, if applicable. Many of you will experience increased satisfaction at work or new job offers. Health issues, if prevailing, will subside considerably.
Although work is likely to be hectic, youwill enjoy being in demand for your talent and will be surrounded by concurring colleagues. Youwill very soon move into a professionally fulfilling period. In the matters of the heart, your intentions will be tested, and you may feel distracted. Some of you may get involved in complicated relationships, which may prove to be rewarding later.
Today is an excellent day for fruitful relationships with friends and partners. You can update and refurbish your social life. Love matters will stabilize. After all, you deserve to be loved and supported. However, overconfidence may be harmful. Be thankful for the blessings that you have. Treat yourself to something that relaxes body and mind: a massage, meditation, or a walk in the woods.

Three Lankan monks hurt in attack on Chennai Buddhist shrine
Sutirtho Patranobis ("Hindustan Times," January 25, 2011)
Chennai, India - Sri Lanka on Tuesday expressed concern over the attack on the Sri Lanka Maha Bodhi Centre in Chennai late on Monday night in which three of its citizens were injured.
While no one has taken responsibility for the attack, it was not immediately clear whether the incident was retaliation against the alleged killing of two Indian fishermen by the Sri Lankan navy off the Tamil Nadu coast in the past two weeks.
The Sri Lankan navy had denied involvement in both killings.
An unidentified group consisting of 10-15 persons carried out an attack on the Sri Lanka Maha Bodhi Centre in Egmore, Chennai around 9pm.
During this incident, three Buddhist monks, including a chancellor of Lankan university, and Nepalese citizen residing at the Maha Bodhi Centre at that time, sustained minor injuries, while the property of the Centre was also damaged.
"What I have been told that 10-15 people came. An auto driver called me...I live in the neighbourhood...I came here immediately. By then the monks were taken to the hospital. I do not know what exactly happened here," said Kapil Alexander, a local resident.
"Some monks told me that some of the attackers were armed with iron rods. Most of the Monks are Sinhalese, they could not understand the language of the attackers," he added.
The injured were immediately rushed to the Mercury Hospital in Egmore where they were treated and subsequently discharged.
The Sri Lankan ministry of external affairs has taken up this matter up with the Indian Government through the Indian High Commission in Colombo.
"The Indian High Commission has assured the ministry of external affairs that a full investigation would be carried out into this incident and had informed that two suspects have already been taken into custody in this connection," the Lankan government said in a statement.
"The High Commission also assured the ministry that necessary action would be taken to ensure the safety and welfare of the Maha Bodhi Centre and other Sri Lankan institutions and establishments in the State of Tamil Nadu," the statement said.
Sri Lanka's high commissioner in New Delhi, Prasad Kariyawasam has left for Chennai following this incident and is due to meet with the chief secretary of Tamil Nadu and other senior officials of the Tamil Nadu state government with deputy high commissioner in Chennai, V Krishnamoorthy, to express concern over the incident and seek their assistance to ensure the safety and welfare of the Maha Bodhi Centre and other Sri Lankan institutions and establishments in the State of Tamil Nadu, especially in Chennai.

New Product Launch :: Leather Bound Journals | Make Smith Leather Co.
Intro: Never forget an idea, make sure you write it down! Journaling is a really great way to process all of your creative thoughts.
Development: We made this journal for the Director of the Santa Barbara Film Fest, Roger Durling. He came to us with the idea of having a classic, clean but old world style leather bound journal that has the ability for refillable paper. He interviews people, takes notes about films and writes notes about his students work all day long, so archiving the books for a later date is a must. So, we designed this leather tie-up style journal around replaceable decomposition books that can be taken out and then replaced with a new one with ease.
Feature: One of the best features of this piece is that the journals inserts can be found at most drug stores, books stores and/or ordered online from Amazon, because they are an educational industry standard size.

Q: When is Google Analytics not good enough? I'm trying to determine why an enterprise wouldn't want to use Google Analytics.
Here are the main reasons I've seen mentioned:

*

*Inability to track clients that have Javascript disabled.

*Lack of ownership of the statistics - Google owns the data.

Most of the web clients with Javascript disabled will probably be bots/spiders.  This data is interesting, but probably not very useful.
As for the ownership issue, this is a bit paranoid IMO.
What am I missing here?  When is Google Analytics not good enough?

A: Thought I'd add my two pence worth to this thread, as this a topic close to my heart and one I've debated with colleagues for years. We've used webtrends in house for as long as i can remember, back to version 4 of the log analyzer (how different things were back then!). Since Google Analytics came along, we've started to come under increasing pressure from certain parts of our business to switch, as 'it does everything we need form an analytics tool'
Well, true in many senses it does, especially these days. But I championed the integration of our CRM and web analytics tools back in 2006, and as our business isn't e-commerce (the 'conversion' happens offline, sometimes months after the visitor acquisition) we need to integrate in this way to get a true picture of campaign effectiveness, and notion of ROI.
All of this means, we need access to the raw data, need to be able to join visitor records on sessionID etc, without this access we'd be screwed. I'd love it if we could roll without it, but the current requirements mean we can't, so this alone is a HUGE reason why Google analytics is not good enough.
Over and out

A: For tracking desktop software or creating a whitelabel solution there are better solutions.
For white label an integration based analytics, i use MixPanel. For Desktop Software, i use Deskmetrics

A: Google Analytics does not work well with mobile phones.  While the iPhone and the Palm may be supported, many of the existing handsets do not support the javascript that Google uses.

A: If you're based in the UK, then theoretically you could be breaking the Data Protection Act by using Analytics.
If information about your users (like which web pages they're looking at) goes "outside the European Economic Area" and onto Google's servers in the US, then you're breaking the DPA.
Pretty obscure, but you did ask :)
Piwik avoids the problem because you host it on your own servers.

A:

*

*Lack of ownership of the statistics - Google owns the data.

  ... As for the ownership issue, this is a
  bit paranoid IMO.

One problem with it is that we can't even access the raw data. We had a use case this week where we wanted a visitor map for an executive presentation. We needed to get more flexible with how the visitor map is displayed (wanted to view the map in Google Earth plug-in). In GA, you can't. You take what they give you. You can see a map of how many visits came from each city, but you can't export a data file of cities and number of visits, to run the data through other tools. So, paranoia aside, there are significant limitations on what you can accomplish with GA.
However this is not a problem if you use Urchin, the self-hosted version of GA: you can export the data and do what you want with it. (And the exported data is richer than the web server log's, as it includes some analysis already.)
Since Piwik is open source, and pluggable, I imagine you could enhance the visitor map plug-in any way you wanted to. And export whatever data you want.
Whether this limitation affects you depends on your needs, obviously.
Update: I've now looked at the GA Data Export API, and it turns out that things you cannot do through the UI (as you can with Urchin), you can do with this API. It does look like you can export the visit data I was talking about, via a feed (although there are daily traffic caps on those requests). So sprinkle salt heavily on what I wrote above.

A: Here are my findings from additional research:
Google Analytics is limited to 5 million page views per month - source
If a web site generates more than 5 million pageviews per month it will need linked to an active AdWords account to avoid interruption of service.
Lack of / slow technical support
All Google support is handled through email and response times can take a week or more.  Commercial analytics products often have much faster & personalized support.
Inability to track files (PDF's, Images, etc.)
GA relies on Javascript and files lack the ability to execute Javascript.  The workaround to this problem is to tag the link, but this won't track requests that go directly to the file.
Limited ability to customize
This is a selling point that I see pushed by commercial analytics tools (WebTrends).  However it's never explained what customizations are denied by GA but allowed by WebTrends.

A: A couple more points that I've come across:

*

*GA doesn't let you dig beyond full-day statistics; I would often like the ability to investigate whether a traffic dip the previous day was caused by the design update I did at 1pm or the soccer match on TV at 8pm.

*GA doesn't offer a workaround for traffic spikes caused by DDoS attacks, Slashdotting etc. When I'm looking at a GA visitor graph of 2009, all I can see is the 2-million-pageview-spike on October 16th, pushing the entire rest of the year down flat against the horizontal axis of the graph. To get a meaningful graph, GA should offer the ability to trim or exclude outlying data points, or the ability to limit/bracket the graph window itself

*GA doesn't have an event monitoring client (think Reinvigorate's Snoop tool)

A: The Google Analytics EULA does not allow you to track individual users by identifying them. So if you wanted to add a custom variable for username to track how many times each user logs in, then you would be in a gray zone if not outright violating the EULA.
I use Google Analytics on about 10 sites right now and it's a great tool. In addition to all the analytics stats, you can tie it in with AdSense and it becomes a marketing/revenue tool and not just "wow look at all these cool user stats". If there was a way to track by user ID in certain circumstances (e.g. if user's agreed to it, or if they work for the company that owns the site) then I would have no issues.
Besides, it's free and all you have to do is add JavaScript to the files, so give it a try and see what you think after a few months.

A: One reason that was, surprisingly, not posted:

*

*timing / speed of reaction

It takes at least 4 hours (up to 24) for GA to update your data.
This is ok for me personally in most of the cases, but when reacting fast is crucial (news sites, one-off events, etc.) you may want to employ some other solution (Mint comes to mind, but it's not the only one out there of course).

A: While GA is very user-friendly, I've found it's not as granular as some of the other stats programs (or maybe I'm not looking in the right places). Before the marketing monkeys I work with began pushing GA, we were very satisfied with AWStats. The sheer scope of the data helped us on several occasions hone sites to better suit their audience. While GA is very shiny and laid out well, I personally still prefer the raw numbers like I used to get through AWStats.

A: *

*Slow data processing speed - Can be as low as 15-30 mins for page views, but may be up to 48 for eCommerce

*EULA is limiting in some cases

*You won't own or have any control of the data. Google's engineers might use it (anonymously) for testing

*Anything more complex requires customization - Downloads and such care of no issue, but there are limits

*Cross domain tracking by linker is faulty at best

*Visit based - Proper tools are based on Visitor level, GA works on Visit based reporting mostly

*Limited number of custom vars used at one time (5)

*No tech support, if you're realistic

*Usually when there is a downtime notice, it's already gone

*API limitations (4 dimensions and 10 metrics at one time, not all can be used together in addition to that)

I have many more, but at the end of the day it is a good tool for it's price.

A: From the non-technical point, I think the most important is that some enterprise has the high level data security policy. All of the data should be controlled and managed by themselves.
If you use the Google analytics,the data is stored in google's server. For some special enterprise, like insurance, financial company. The policy should be followed.

A: I wouldn't use it for any of my sites, because you're forcing the user to accept your proprietary JavaScript code in their browser, which is bad. Also, giving your data is Google is a really bad idea.
See Piwiki for something you can run yourself as in free software, eliminating both of the problems.

A: I would NOT go with server logs. In fact I have them disabled on my server. Why you ask me?
For the simple reason that everytime you hit my server that stupid logging program makes an entry in the physical log file on my HDD. So if my server gets 100,000 hits in a day that's 100,000 time a HDD write operation happens.
You think that's cool? Well it's not. It's slowing your server down, specially if the log file is huge.
Why would someone even consider doing that to their server? Specially when we're working so hard to minify javascript, css and make image files 2 KB smaller!
Please do yourself a favor don't log directly on your server.
At least Google Analytics logs it on Google's server so my server's healthier.

Q: Username regex with special allowances I really need a JavaScript username regex as:

*

*must start with a letter

*from 5-20 characters.

*allows the following special characters after the first letter: _-.@

*allows for all letters and numbers after the first character (including accented characters).

I am pretty new to regex, and I read this which seems sort of close:
/^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z\d-_\.@]+$/

but it does not allow for accented characters (i.e. é) after the first character.

The Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 is a public law of the United States passed by the 104th Congress on October 23, 1995. It was passed for the purposes of initiating and funding the relocation of the Embassy of the United States in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, no later than May 31, 1999, and attempted to withhold 50 percent of the funds appropriated to the State Department specifically for "Acquisition and Maintenance of Buildings Abroad" as allocated in fiscal year 1999 until the United States Embassy in Jerusalem had officially opened. The act also called for Jerusalem to remain an undivided city and for it to be recognized as the capital of the State of Israel. Israel's declared capital is Jerusalem, but this is not internationally recognized, pending final status talks in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The United States has withheld recognition of the city as Israel's capital. The proposed law was adopted by the Senate (93–5), and the House (374–37).
Since passage, the law has never been implemented, because of opposition from Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama, who view it as a Congressional infringement on the executive branch's constitutional authority over foreign policy; they have consistently claimed the presidential waiver on national security interests.

"Schumer Calls For Biden To Declare Climate Emergency"
"Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on Monday night that President Biden should consider declaring an emergency when it comes to the climate.
"It might be a good idea for President Biden to call a climate emergency," Schumer told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow.
Schumer appeared to be referencing Biden making a national emergency declaration, with the Senate leader noting that former President Trump used it for the border wall."

Killer Women. Killer Crime Writing Festival. Part 3.
By LizLovesBooks | October 3, 2016 - 6:21 am | October 3, 2016 Latest Blog
So the brilliant crime writers at Killer Women are having their very first festival on Saturday 15th October – it is going to be a rocking day and you can pick up a ticket HERE.
Welcome to Part Three of my trawl around the authorscape to find out more about those you can see at the festival – Once again some intrepid reporting from me – Or I've been lying around waiting for people to tell me stuff. Take your pick..
If you missed Part One you can find it if you clickety click.
If you missed Part Two you can find it if you clickety click
The full line up can be found HERE but today we are hearing from Alex Marwood, Ayo Onatade and Michelle Davis…
Tell us a little about your latest novel and what readers can expect from it?
It's called The Darkest Secret and it's a psychological thriller, plotwise about the mystery of what happened to a vanished toddler, and really about Narcissistic Personality Disorder and the havoc individuals suffering from it can wreak among all the people who get sucked into their circles. When much-married Sean Jackson dies, Mila, a daughter from his first marriage is persuaded to take her half-sister, teenaged Ruby, to the funeral. When they get there, they are confronted with all the friends who were also present during the weekend-long drinking bout that marked Sean's fiftieth birthday, at which Ruby's three-year-old sister, Coco, vanished, never to be seen again…
What is the last book you read and would you recommend it?
Jonathan Harvey's The History of Us, which kept me going through the endless airport / getting checked into hotels waits that actually characterise the glamour of an American publicity tour. It was bloody marvellous, as are all his books. We were joking the other day that I was going to give him a puff quote reading "Jonathan Harvey kept me from murdering people".
What will you be doing and talking about at the Killer Women Festival?
I'm on the Book to Film panel. I shall be the one who gives the real truth about film deals, as everyone else has actually had their books made into films, rather than the usual tucking-the-small-amount-of-beer-money-in-your-pocket and hearing nothing else that is the normal experience, and one I've had with four books now.
Who is your hero/heroine, fictional or otherwise, and why?
Kurt Vonnegut. He opened my eyes wide in my early teens to what can be done with fiction, how to plot exquisitely – all his books look like they're meandering until it all slams together, perfectly, with nothing wasted, in the very last chapter and you're left reeling – and how to combine profound pessimism with a deep love of humanity.
Tell us two random non-bookish facts about you
I once trained as a hypnotist
One of my early jobs was as crossword editor for a national newspaper.
Nothing Short of Dying by Erik Storey. Yes I would. It is a fascinating debut novel that pits a "Reacher" type protagonist against a meth king as he tries to rescue his abducted sister.
What will you be doing and talking about at the Killer Women Festival? – I shall be talking about blogging,
Who is your hero/heroine, fictional or otherwise, and why? –
I have to say Modesty Blaise by Peter O'Donnell. She was in my opinion the first fictional kick-ass character and the true originator of girl power. Everybody else has followed in her footsteps.
Tell us two random non-bookish facts about you … –
I am a qualified track and field judge and I have a very eclectic taste in jewellery.
Gone Astray is my debut and it's about the disappearance of a teenage girl whose parents are lottery winners. The police investigation is told from the perspective of the Family Liaison Officer (DC Maggie Neville) assigned to her parents. I chose a FLO (pronounced 'flow') as my main police character because I was fascinated by the idea of her solving the case from the inside out; FLOs are there to help families but they also have to investigate them too.
I'm currently reading Tana French's The Trespasser and it's every bit as brilliant as I hoped it would be. Her prose is sublime and her plotting so intricate that it's impossible to work out where the story is going, which I love. She's one of my all-time favourite authors.
I'm very excited to be taking part in Sarah Hilary's Fresh Blood panel, where I'll be talking about my journey to publication with fellow debutees Chris Whitaker, Agnes Ravatn and Paul Burston. Being chosen by Sarah for the panel is a huge honour.
Non-fiction, I would have to say Mary Stott, the first and longest-serving editor of the Guardian's Women's Page. I was fortunate to interview her for my journalism dissertation and she told me she'd cried when her editor forced her to take the job because in those days (1957) it was all about recipes and how to be a good wife. Yet during her tenure the page became a voice for the Women's Movement, campaigning for equality and against discrimination, and she inspired many female writers, myself included. My fictional heroine is Lois Lane, for her sheer tenacity in getting a story.
Tell us two random non-bookish facts about you …
My one claim to fame is that I appeared in an episode of Friends as an extra. I was Features Editor at heat magazine when the show's makers invited me onto the set and it remains one of the best moments of my journalistic career! Another random fact is that I don't like ice cream. It's too cold to eat!
Thanks everyone! More later this week….

Mexican troops killed US citizen, documents show
MEXICO CITY – Joseph Proctor told his girlfriend he was popping out to the convenience store in the quiet Mexican beach town where the couple had just moved, intending to start a new life.
The next morning, the 32-year-old New York native was dead inside his crashed van on a road outside Acapulco. He had multiple bullet wounds. An AR-15 rifle lay in his hands.
His distraught girlfriend, Liliana Gil Vargas, was summoned to police headquarters, where she was told Proctor had died in a gunbattle with an army patrol. They claimed Proctor — whose green van had a for-sale sign and his cell phone number spray-painted on the windows — had attacked the troops. They showed her the gun.
His mother, Donna Proctor, devastated and incredulous, has been fighting through Mexico's secretive military justice system ever since to learn what really happened on the night of Aug. 22.
It took weeks of pressuring U.S. diplomats and congressmen for help, but she finally got an answer, which she shared with The Associated Press.
Three soldiers have been charged with killing her son. Two have been charged with planting the assault rifle in his hands and claiming falsely that he fired first, according to a Mexican Defense Department document sent to her through the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City.

After running the kitchen at Atlanta institution Woodfire Grill (left) for four years, Top Chef: Las Vegas finalist Kevin Gillespie is moving on to his next project—Gunshow, named in homage to his favorite childhood pastime. Slated to open in early 2013, Gunshow will have a more free-form style of service, with no menu and a format that recalls traditional dim sum. Gillespie will send his rustic, Southern-inspired dishes out to the dining room, letting guests choose items as they come out. "If you want it, you take it, if you don't want it, that is fine too," explains Gillespie. "You are the one in charge of your experience." In the meantime, fans can try his food via recipes from his newly released book, Fire in My Belly.
Working for nearly a decade for seafood genius (and frequent TC judge) chef Eric Ripert gave Jen Carroll some serious culinary backbone. After competing on Top Chef: Las Vegas and All-Stars, she's now planning to open her first restaurant next spring, named in part for her edgy yet fun personality. Her upcoming "dock-to-dish" concept is a collaboration with several Montauk, New York, fishermen; Carroll hopes to eventually offer her customers fish shares, similar to a CSA model. The menu will have a healthy slant: One prospective dish is a salad of mizuna (a Japanese mustard green) with spicy yogurt vinaigrette. Fans can catch Carroll's restaurant planning and more of her feisty charisma on Life After Top Chef.


The British choreographer Richard Alston, and his company, Richard Alston Dance Company, in their Peak Performances debut brought Roughcut (1990), Unfinished Business (2011) and the American premiere of A Ceremony of Carols (2012). Roughoutwas a playful work for the 10 dancers, exploring shapes, balance and counter-balance, and moving in and out of various groupings, while Unfinished Business showcased many of the dancers individually. Elly Braund and James Pett's delivery of the "Andante" duet was especially breath-taking. Most assuredly, there is nothing more wonderful than live music to accompany dance. Alston offered just that in A Ceremony of Carols, which was the highlight of the evening. The dancers were joined on stage by a full choir (Prima Voce), Choral Director (Heather J. Buchanan), and Harpist (Andre Tarantiles). A lovely evening of a great deal of unison dancing.

A crucial component of healing is discovering to live with tensions and using them as an active force to profit us in life and work. An instance of "usual tension" is the tension between what you can reach and also exactly what is just past your understanding.
It prevails to want to be devoid of tension and also stress. Laughter and also fellowship with others bring incredible relief to those fighting the good battle versus the enslavement of dependency. We wish to live cost-free, we want alternatives. Each of us wishes to really feel valued and also beneficial. We want to be close to those we like. We intend to be appreciated.

How to change a dead 12 volt car battery in the engine bay of a 6th generation 2009 to 2015 Ford Fiesta with photos.
This automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist owners of the sixth generation (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and possibly also the 2016 model year) Ford Fiesta sedan or hatchback in changing a dead 12 volt car battery in the engine bay.
Owners of other Ford or Lincoln vehicles such as the Focus, Fusion, C-Max, Mustang, Escape, Transit Connect, Edge, Flex, Explorer, Expedition, Taurus, F-150, EcoSport, MKC, MKZ, MKS, MKX, MKT and the Navigator may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.
The OEM battery is Motorcraft part number YD BXT-96R.
A few other compatible "Group Size" 96R batteries with their part numbers are as follows: NAPA BAT 8496R, AutoCraft Gold 96R-3, Bosch Premium 96R590B and EverStart Plus 96R (Walmart).
The tools needed to complete this procedure include include a deep well 10mm socket with a 1/4" drive ratcheting wrench or a standard 10mm hand wrench.
The 12 volt car battery is located at the right side of the engine bay behind the engine air box and next to the fuse box.
Loosen the two nuts that hold the black metal battery hold down bar or "clamp" in place by turning them counterclockwise with the deep well 10mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratcheting wrench.
Lift the metal hold down bar straight off the top of the battery while avoiding contact with the electrical terminals.
Set the bar aside in a safe place.
Next, loosen the 10mm nut on the "-" negative battery terminal by turning it counterclockwise a few turns.
Pull the negative terminal straight off the "-" battery post.
Wrap the terminal in a small towel and tuck it away on the side of the battery to help prevent accidental contact.
Loosen the 10mm nut on the positive terminal by rotating it in the counterclockwise direction a few turns.
Pull the positive terminal straight off the "+" battery post.
Close the plastic cover over the positive terminal and tuck it away on the side of the battery to help prevent accidental contact.
Carefully lift the old battery straight out of the engine bay.
Try to avoid tipping or dropping the old battery on the ground to prevent from having battery acid leak out.
Gently lower the new 12 volt battery on to the tray with the positive "+" post closest to the front of the vehicle and the negative "-" post at the rear near the windshield.
Push the positive terminal down on to the "+" battery post.
Tighten the 10mm nut in the clockwise direction until it is snug.
Try to avoid over tightening the terminal nut to prevent from damaging the battery terminal which may cause an acid leak.
Push the negative terminal in to place over the "-" battery post.
Lower the battery hold down bar in to place over the two bolt ends on either side of the new battery.
Spin on the two 10mm nuts a few turns in the clockwise direction by hand to prevent them from becoming cross threaded.
Continue tightening the 10mm nuts in the clockwise direction with the ratcheting wrench until they are snug.
Check that the battery can not be rocked, moved or wiggled on the battery tray.
If the new battery can be moved, tighten the two 10mm clamp nuts another turn or two each.
Make sure you set your favorite radio station presets and adjust the time on the clock before you start driving.

My wife wants me to put up a window shade over a half-moon window. Where can I find something?
The sun comes right in and blinds us from that window. Right now I just have construction paper taped over it but if I don't get something nice looking soon I'll be sleeping in the dog house!
hmm...not sure if that would work since we have a "frame" in our window.

Attorney for ex-Minneapolis officer who killed Justine Damond says he feared ambush

April 10, 2019, 1:31 AM UTC
MINNEAPOLIS — A Minneapolis police officer who shot and killed an unarmed woman as she approached his squad car after calling 911 to report a possible crime was reacting to a loud noise and feared an ambush, his attorney said Tuesday, calling it "a perfect storm with tragic consequences."
Mohamed Noor, charged with murder and manslaughter in the 2017 death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, and his partner were rolling down a dark alley in response to Damond's 911 calls about a possible sexual assault when a bicyclist appeared in front of them and they heard "a bang," defense attorney Peter Wold said in his opening statement at Noor's trial.
"It is the next split second that this case is all about," Wold said.
Noor fired a single shot, killing Damond, a 40-year-old dual citizen of the U.S. and Australia whose death rocked both countries and led to changes in the Minneapolis Police Department. The shooting came just two weeks after an officer in New York was ambushed and killed in a parked vehicle.
Attorneys for Noor, who was fired after being charged in the case and has never talked to investigators about what happened, argue that he used reasonable force to defend himself and his partner from a perceived threat. But prosecutors say there is no evidence he faced a threat that justified deadly force
Prosecutor Patrick Lofton, in his opening statement, questioned a statement from Noor's partner, Matthew Harrity, that he heard a thump right before the shooting. Lofton said Harrity never said anything at the scene about such a noise, instead mentioning it for the first time some days later in an interview with investigators.
Lofton also said investigators found no forensic evidence to show that Damond had touched the squad car before she was shot, an assertion that seemed aimed at the possibility that she had slapped or hit it upon approaching the officers.
Lofton also wondered why other officers responding to the scene didn't consistently have their cameras switched on. The officers did not turn on their body cameras until after the shooting, and there was no squad car video. Lofton noted that a sergeant taking statements had her camera on when she talked to Harrity, but off when she talked to Noor.
"We'll never hear what Noor said," he said.

Damond was a life coach who had been engaged to be married in just a month's time. Noor, 33, is a Somali American whose arrival on the force just a couple of years earlier had been trumpeted by city leaders working to diversify the police force.
Damond called 911 twice, then called her fiance and hung up when police arrived, Lofton said. One minute and 19 seconds later, Damond was cradling a gunshot wound to her abdomen and saying, "I'm dying," Lofton added.
Minnesota law allows police officers to use deadly force to protect themselves or their partners from death or great bodily harm. Prosecutors charged Noor with second-degree intentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
Damond's fiance, Don Damond, was the first witness for prosecutors. Damond sobbed as he described calls from investigators the night of Justine's death, saying he wasn't told an officer had shot her until a second phone call.
Damond said calling her family members in Australia was "painful, and traumatic, and the worst phone call I've ever had to make in my life." Members of Justine's from Australia, including her father, stepmother, brother and sister-in-law, were in the courtroom Tuesday and could be heard crying as Damond testified.
Justine Damond had taken her fiance's name professionally before their marriage.

Earlier Tuesday, Hennepin County District Judge Kathryn Quaintance relented on restrictions that would have prevented the public and media from viewing video evidence introduced in the case. That's expected to include body-camera video that shows efforts to save Damond. Quaintance had cited a desire to protect Damond's privacy, but a coalition of media groups including The Associated Press had challenged the ban.
"The court, like the jury, must follow the law — even if I disagree with it," said Quaintance.
Noor's attorneys haven't said whether he will testify. If he does, prosecutors may be able to introduce some evidence that the defense wanted to keep out of the state's case, including that he has refused to talk to investigators. They also could bring up a 2015 psychological test that showed Noor disliked being around people and had difficulty confronting others. Despite that test, a psychiatrist found him fit to be a cadet officer.
The shooting raised questions about Noor's training. The police chief defended Noor's training, but the chief was forced to resign days later. The shooting also led to changes in the department's policy on use of body cameras.
