Not Out of the Woods Yet Stripped of hurricane rank, Tropical Storm Irene spent the last of its fury Sunday, leaving treacherous flooding and millions without power — but an unfazed New York and relief that it was nothing like the nightmare authorities feared.

At least 19 people died in the storm, most of them when trees crashed through roofs or onto cars.

Slowly, the East Coast surveyed the damage, up to $7 billion by one private estimate, and worried of danger still lurking: the possibility of rivers and streams swelling with rainwater and overflowing over the next few days.

“This is not over,” President Obama said from the Rose Garden.

The center of Irene passed over Central Park at midmorning with the storm packing 65 mph winds. By evening, with its giant figure-six shape brushing over New England and drifting east, it was down to 50 mph.

The Northeast was spared the urban nightmare some had worried about — crippled infrastructure, stranded people and windows blown out of skyscrapers. But there was still plenty to watch out for. In

In Irene’s wake, hundreds of thousands of passengers still had to get where they were going. Airlines said about 9,000 flights were canceled.

United, Continental, Delta and JetBlue said they planned to resume service into and out of New York on Monday, and in Boston on Monday. Philadelphia International Airport was reopening Sunday afternoon, but there were no departures scheduled yet and only a few arrivals. (AP)

Rhode Island, which has a geography thick with bays, inlets and shoreline, authorities were worried about coastal flooding at evening high tide.

The storm system knocked out power for 4.5 million people along the Eastern Seaboard. Power companies were picking through uprooted trees and reconnecting lines in the South and had restored electricity to hundreds of thousands of people by Sunday afternoon.

In the South, authorities still were unsure how much damage had been done. North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue said some parts of her state were unreachable and the 11 casinos of Atlantic City, N.J., planned to reopen Monday. In Philadelphia, the storm was blamed for the collapses of seven buildings. (AP)

Retreating loyalists of Moammar Gadhafi killed scores of detainees and arbitrarily shot civilians over the past week, as rebel forces extended their control over the Libyan capital, survivors and a human rights group said Sunday.

In one case, Gadhafi fighters opened fire and hurled grenades at more than 120 civilians detained in a hangar, said Mabrouk Abdullah, 45, who escaped with a bullet wound in his side. About 50 charred corpses were still scattered across the hangar on Sunday.

New York-based Human Rights Watch said the evidence it has collected so far “strongly suggests that Gadhafi government forces went on a spate of arbitrary killing as Tripoli was falling.” The justice minister in the rebels’ interim government, Mohammed al-Alagi, said the allegations would be investigated and leaders of Gadhafi’s military units put on trial.

The attack demonstrates anew that security measures to protect Iraqis remain porous, and shows the extent to which militants want to extend the violence as U.S. forces prepare to leave by the Dec. 31 withdrawal deadline. (AP)

Barakat said that 75 corpses were found at Abu Salim hospital. Another group of bodies was strewn near Bab al-Aziziya, Gadhafi’s compound. Human Rights Watch counted 29 bodies in that area, where Gadhafi loyalists had camped out in recent months.

It remains unclear who is responsible for some killings, including of dozens of men whose bodies were found in two areas of Tripoli. (AP)

Weary Japan Looks for New PM

Ruling party’s vote will likely determine country’s next leader

WIth his resignation, Japan is seeking its sixth new prime minister in five years.

Jeaoe The f ive candidates v ying to become Japan’s next prime minister promised Sunday to resolve the country’s nuclear crisis and revive its battered economy, amid widespread public cynicism about a revolving door of leaders.

Public interest has been stunningly low, underlining the widespread disenchantment with politics. A debate Sunday among the candidates was not carried live on any of the major TV networks.

No matter who wins, the new prime minister is expected to last barely a year because he will be serving out the term of Kan, who announced his resignation Friday. (AP)

Tom Bulger, a board member who serves as the Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alternate director, said getting estimates of the cost of operating the first part of the Dulles line is â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutely critical.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to know it so Metro can plan accordingly and jurisdictions will have enough time to digest these estimated costs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this economic climate weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in, dollars are scarce.â&#x20AC;?

There are no current figures on operational costs for the first phase of the Dulles line, although Metro officials said they are working on them and expect to release them this fall.

The most recent figures of what it will cost to operate part of the Dulles line are from a 2007 Metro plan. It projected that operating and maintaining the first phase of the Dulles line would cost $45.6 million for fiscal 2012, which was then assumed to be the new lineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first year of operation.

Ced[o F[hiedWb <_dWdY[ Should you buy or sell Apple?

Investors largely shrugged off news last week that Steve Jobs was stepping down as CEO, barely selling its shares. But that hasn’t satisfied Wall Street analysts who follow the tech giant. They say the shares are a bargain and likely to rise by a third over the next year.

Their recommendation: Buy Apple by the bucketful.

So who is right? The pros or the investors?

Ed[ fefkbWh mWo je lWbk[ W YecfWdoÊi ijeYa _i je beea Wj ^em ^_]^ _j _i jhWZ_d] h[bWj_l[ je _ji [Whd_d]i f[h i^Wh[$ The short answer may be the pros, though the stock is probably not the steal that many of them assume.

At Thursday’s closing price of $374 per share, Apple was trading at 12 times its expected earnings over the next 12 months compared with 11 times for the Standard & Poor’s 500 index.

Translation: For every dollar you spend on Apple, you should expect roughly the same earnings as you would get on the average company.

The difference, of course, is that Apple has a tendency to beat expectations and send its stock soaring.

A Reward Revival For Debit Cards Banks team up with retailers to offer revamped programs F[hiedWb <_dWdY[ Debit card rewards aren’t dead yet.

They’re just undergoing a transformation.

Several major banks in the past year ended or scaled back their debit rewards programs. They’ve cited a new regulation that will soon curb the revenue they can squeeze from checking accounts.

To compensate, a few banks have already started teaming up with retailers to offer revamped programs that reward customers for spending at specific stores.

The migration away from traditional rewards programs — where customers typically earn a set cashback rate on all purchases — is a response to the changing business environment. Starting in October,

a regulation will cap the fees banks can collect from merchants whenever customers swipe their debit cards. Now banks are beginning to promote what they call merchantfunded rewards.

The basic goal of merchantfunded rewards is to encourage customers to spend at specific stores. But The percent of the programs can people enrolled vary so it’s imporin merchantt a nt t o u nde rfunded programs who end stand the terms up redeeming at when shopping least one offer, around. according to a Still, one of the study by finanupsides of these cial group Aite. new rewards programs is that you’re typically automatically enrolled.

MLK Memorial Still Draws Crowd

Ifh_d]\_[bZ" LW$

As the rain stopped falling and the winds died down, 43 boys from Cleveland formed a circle Sunday around the new Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and joined hands at the hour it was supposed to be dedicated by President Barack Obama.

Each wore a black T-shirt that read “Who’s Next?” On the back, the names of Mahatma Gandhi, King and Obama were checked off.

And the answer? “I Am.” On the 48th anniversary of King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, as Hurricane Irene forced the postponement of the memorial’s dedication, dozens of people streamed through to see King’s statue. The National Park Service had cleared the plaza of downed branches and leaves.

Many visitors ventured out, even though traffic lights in the area

were dark with no power. Many had planned to be among 250,000 expected at the memorial’s dedication, which was postponed until September or October.

“At first, we were very disappointed,” Renee Cavor, an official with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, said of the cancellation after she brought her students to see the memorial to help inspire

them to finish school. “However, it’s almost as if things have worked out for the better because we never would have gotten this close.”

When Theo Hike, 16, a student at Cleveland’s Martin Luther King Jr. Career Campus, heard the dedication was canceled during their bus trip from Ohio, he wondered, “Why are we going, then?” But he said he was glad they didn’t turn back.

“I feel like crying, but I don’t want to,” said Jeffrey Tyler, 16, a student at Cleveland’s Lincoln West High School. “To see a black man up there, it made me feel really proud of myself.”

The memorial took on a small amount of water from the Tidal Basin during the storm but sustained no damage, according to the National Park Service. (AP)

Video Leads to Flash Mob Arrests =[hcWdjemd" CZ$ For some teenagers, the idea of joining a “flash mob” theft no doubt has its appeal: Rush into a store with a couple dozen buddies, overwhelm the clerk, help yourself to munchies and leave.

But as a recent round-up of flashmob suspects in Montgomery County shows, there’s a decent chance the trend could fade quickly.

“One of the lessons here is you are not anonymous. You’re on camera,” Montgomery County State’s Attorney John McCarthy said Friday, after officials announced that instore security images have allowed them to identify 17 suspects who rushed into a Germantown 7-Eleven on Aug. 13 at 1:47 a.m.

BILL O’LEARY/TWP

A 5-year-old Springfield girl was abducted from her bedroom early Saturday and assaulted somewhere nearby before she made her way back home, police said.

Fairfax County police said the unknown attacker broke into the townhouse in the 7000 block of Brocton Court after midnight, went upstairs and took the girl from her bed. The girl’s parents and 1-yearold sibling were at home, police said. They said the parents did not realize that the girl had been abducted until she returned home about 4 a.m. and told them what had happened.

Officer Don Gotthardt, a police spokesman, described the abduction and assault as “horrific” and unlike any crime the neighborhood had seen before. He emphasized that neighbors should remain vigilant, keep their doors locked and report any suspicious activity to the police.

The 5-year-old was taken to a hospital for treatment of upperbody injuries that are not lifethreatening, Gotthardt said. It was unclear Saturday whether she had been sexually assaulted, he said.

Dozens show up to Tidal Basin despite canceled dedication

Police say this video captured 17 suspects robbing a Germantown 7-Eleven.

“These kids basically thought they could walk in there, create havoc and remain anonymous,” said Capt. Luther Reynolds, commander of Montgomery’s Germantown police district.

The suspects will be charged

with any or all of three offenses: theft, conspiracy to commit theft and disorderly conduct, police said.

Of the 17, 14 are juveniles. Police said they will release the names of the adult suspects — ages 18, 19 and 20 — once they have been legally served. Police will not identify the juveniles because such records are confidential.

Detectives are looking to identify another seven caught on camera. “We intend to identify the rest,” Reynolds said. Police said that after the teenagers were identified and notified, most came into the police station with a parent or parents, admitted what they did and said they regretted it.

The storm dumped more than a foot of rain in places up and down the coast, clobbering the Jersey Shore and prompting the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people in New Jersey and New York City.

Hundreds of thousands of people remained without power Sunday, as repair crews hurried to restore electricity for the week ahead and former hurricane Irene plowed into New England, leaving a sodden and battered East Coast in its wake.

Nearly 20 deaths were reported, including a Maryland woman killed when a chimney toppled and a Virginia girl killed in a car crash in North Carolina, as officials tallied the destruction left by the storm that pummeled the coast from Cape Hatteras to Cape Cod. Irene, though less potent than originally imagined, cut electricity to 1.2 million Dominion power customers in Virginia and North Carolina, resulting in the biggest repair effort since Hurricane Isabel in 2003, the utility said.

In a statement from the White House on Sunday evening, President Obama said that much remained to be done, but he praised officials from the top down.

MWi^_d]jed Hurricane Irene was no mystery to forecasters. They knew where it was going. But what it would do when it got there was another matter.

Predicting a storm’s strength still baffles meteorologists. Every giant step in figuring out the path highlights how little progress they’ve made on another crucial question: How strong?

Irene made landfall Saturday morning at Cape Lookout, N.C. — a bull’s-eye in the field of weather forecasts. It hit where forecasters said it would and followed the track they had been warning about for days. But when Irene struck, the storm did not stick with the forecast’s predicted major hurricanestrength winds.

“It’s frustrating when people take our forecasts verbatim and say, ‘This is where it’s going to be at this time and this is how strong it’s going to be,’” said National Hurricane Center forecaster Richard Pasch. “Because even though the track is good it’s not certain.”

But it’s getting there.

By last Monday, five days before Irene first hit the East Coast, the hurricane center figured the storm would come ashore around the North Carolina-South Carolina border. By Tuesday, they predicted it would rake the coast. And on Friday morning — 24 hours before land-

Bill Read, the director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami, touted the agency’s progress but acknowledged that storms remain a bit mysterious.

He lost power at about 1:30 a.m. and said he walked the extension over to his neighbor ’s hou se some t i me a f ter 7 a.m. “When that side goes out, we do the same for them.”

The borrowed electricity, he said, was enough to keep the fridge going and a few lights on. But residents said the officials came after 9 a.m. to say the cords were a hazard and would have to be removed.

Now, Lloyd said, it’s just a matter of waiting on Dominion.

“There’s not much you can do except wait,” Lloyd said.

Still an Inexact Science

Evan Cunningham uses a downed tree as a playground in Baltimore on Sunday.

The Weather Channel’s anchors seemed visibly disappointed Sunday when Irene was downgraded to a tropical storm just hours before its direct hit on New York City. The network’s weather experts conveyed a voice of authority its rivals couldn’t match. While they can occasionally get lost in scientific jargon, that is more informative to viewers than when NBC’s Ron Allen reported from New Bedford, Mass., that “it’s pretty bad, whatever meteorological label you want to put on it.” (AP)

fall — they had the storm’s next-day location to within 10 miles or so.

“This is a gold medal forecast,” retired hurricane center director Max Mayfield said. “I don’t think there’s any doubt: I think they saved lives.”

There are two reasons for the steady improvement in forecasts: Better computer models and better data to go into those models. With Irene, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration spent extra money with jet flights and weather balloons across the country to get far more data than usual.

On the negative side, the forecast after Irene hit the Bahamas had it staying as a Category 3 and possibly increasing to a Category 4. But it weakened and hit as a Category 1 storm and stayed that way up the coast until it faded into a tropical storm by the time it reached New York City.

Current hurricane center director Bill Read said they will go back and figure out what happened, but noted they have made huge strides. One theory for the miscalculations is that a storm’s strength is dependent on the storm’s inner core. Irene never had a classic, fully formed eye wall — even going through the Bahamas as a Category 3. “Why it did that, we don’t know,” Read said. “That’s a gap in the science.” (AP)

The running tally after three games

BECK has completed 74 percent of his passes, with one touchdown, one interception and a 99.0 rating.

GROSSMAN has completed 64 percent, with two touchdowns, one interception and a 92.3 rating.

Too Close to Call Neither Grossman nor Beck has taken the clear lead in the QB competition J^[ H[Zia_di Here’s one primary D.C. race where the winner isn’t clear-cut.

With just over two weeks to go before the start of the season, there’s not much separating John Beck and Rex Grossman as they vie to be the starting quarterback of the Redskins.

And it looks like the choice won’t have to be the lesser of two evils.

Both quarterbacks have overcome legitimate doubts about their suitability for the job to prove themselves worthy of serious consideration.

Despite the obvious pressure that comes with such a competition — and despite an awkward rotation by coach Mike Shanahan that had them alternating every two series — they combined

to complete 14 of 25 passes for 220 yards with two touchdowns and one interception against the always formidable Baltimore Ravens defense in a 34-31 loss Thursday night.

Those are just the numbers.

Both are showing a rhythm and comfort level in the offense that just wasn’t there a year ago when Donovan McNabb was behind center.

While it’s true Shanahan might have already made up his mind, it’s hard to fault him for saying he’s going to wait as long as possible to

announce the decision as the Redskins look to the opener against the New York Giants on Sept. 11. After all, it’s a very tight race.

The third preseason game is the dress rehearsal for the regular season, and both quarterbacks were trying to prove a lot in a precious few snaps.

Questions were raised about Beck’s desire or ability to throw downfield after he settled for short completions the previous week against Indianapolis. He answered them on his first pass against the Ravens — a nice throw to Anthony Armstrong deep down the right sideline for 33 yards.

Grossman started Thursday and had his first two drives end

Kfi WdZ :emdi

Position Notes One job that had been up for grabs is surely all but decided.

Tim Hightower continued his strong preseason with a 37-yard touchdown run on Thursday. He’s averaging 6.8 yards per carry in a one-sided battle with the injured Ryan Torain. One sour note from the game: Second-round draft pick Jarvis Jenkins tore the ACL in his right knee in the first quarter and is done for the season.

in punts. That’s not a big deal in a normal game, but in a QB competition like this one it must have seemed like a lifetime before he re-entered in the second quarter.

His big moment came when he hit Santana Moss deep for a 24-yard touchdown toss just before halftime.

The Beck-Grossman sweepstakes is so vital to the team’s outlook that it’s easy to overlook the other dramas taking place on the field.

Second-year receiver Terrence Austin is fighting for a roster spot, so the quarterback duel was far from his mind when he caught a screen pass from Beck and ran for a 13-yard score in the third quarter.

“To be honest with you, I didn’t really pay attention to that. I don’t even know who threw me my touchdown pass,” Austin said. “I was just in the game.” JOSEPH WHITE (AP)

This is a love song where someone actually gets loved. I think having a hallway as a backdrop to any kind of story is real interesting because everyone’s in transition in a hallway. I’m kind of fascinated by hallways because they lead from someplace to another place — a lot of things happen in hallways that aren’t specific to the person.

That was on [X’s third album] “More Fun in the New World.”

I’d done a version of it like this for years. Cindy Wasserman — who I’ve worked with for six or seven years — and I did a good version of it live and it seemed to fit. It’s kind of a counterpart to “Walking Out the Door.” They’re both similar-sounding songs.

Last week, I would have described the mood at Shaw’s Tavern, the manywindowed would-be hot spot recently opened at 520 Florida Ave. NW, as “subdued.” Unfortunately, “funereal” would have been more accurate: The bar, which has been thus far unable to obtain a liquor license, closed Saturday until such time as the city allows it to serve alcohol.

The place got bust8o <_edW ed for serving liquor PkXb_d sans permits at some private opening parties, putting its future in limbo. What should have been a bright, cozy space in a neighborhood that sorely needs a few more of those instead spent its short life filled with sad conversations about what the bar would be like when it finally existed.

(Answer: a small but well-chosen selection of local craft brews and highend liquors.)

Shaw’s Tavern had sensational nouveau American food, communal tables and congenial wait staff. It was everything a neighborhood bar should be — so why did it feel like there was no point to being there? Did everyone look this sad during Prohibition? If we wore pinstripes and fringed dresses to dinner, would it be more fun? (Yes. Obviously.)

Hopefully, Shaw’s will reopen soon, bright and bustling and bursting with autumn ales. In the meantime, here are a couple other spots with big windows and a friendly vibe:

ago. Monroe met Presley (“Holler Annie”) through her publisher.

Monroe put her two friends together after she and Lambert were talking about Presley’s music. The friends started getting together to have fun. Alcohol might have been involved, though no one will confirm it. There was never talk of forming a group or even writing songs. But eventually the guitars came out, and so did Pistol Annies.

“Hell on Heels” has an attitude for sure, best evidenced in the title song, the wonderfully tart “Bad

Cki_Y China’s Ministry of Culture has ordered music download sites to delete songs by Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, the Backstreet Boys and other pop stars within two weeks or face punishment.

The ministry posted a list of 100 songs — including Lady Gaga’s “Judas” and Perry’s “Last Friday Night” — that had to be purged from the Chinese web because they had never been submitted for mandatory government screening.

Six Lady Gaga songs in all were on the list, all from her latest album. The 12-year-old ballad “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys was also targeted. Dozens of Hong Kong and Taiwanese pop songs and a few Western hits were listed as well.

The ministry said the rule was meant to preserve China’s “national cultural security.” (AP)

Angaleena Presley was doing what she usually does at 2 a.m. — sleeping — when the phone rang.

On the other end of the line was Ashley Monroe, who had been hanging out with her friend Miranda Lambert and, perhaps, having a cocktail or two.

“And I went, ‘Hey, this better be important, by God,’” Presley recalls, her son sleeping next to her.

“Turns out it was, huh?” Monroe says.

That call 2½ years ago led to Pistol Annies, a concept group of sorts that’s aimed at shaking things up and drawing attention to female singer-songwriters who sometimes get overlooked in the rush to find the next big star.

“I just happened to be the one that got successful,” says Lambert, whose breakthrough 2009 album “Revolution” established her as one of country’s elite acts, with Grammy, ACM and CMA trophies to go along with her recent status.

“There’s a whole bunch of us that you haven’t heard yet.”

The trio released the aptly titled

Example,” and Lambert’s ode to jerks (“Trailer for Rent”). But it’s more remarkable for its reflection of the times and how poverty and unhappiness are just a decision or two away. There are unpaid bills and plenty of pills. There’s heartbreak and disrespect from a handful of lowlife men. There are hard decisions and wrong choices.

Like life, the album alternates between good times and bad.

“It seems like when we all three got together, that’s what came out,” Monroe says. CHRIS TALBOT T (AP)

‘Private Life’ focuses on the reinvention of the energetic actress 8eeai For sheer drama, the life of Jane Fonda — 73 years in the making and still going strong — outshines her commendable filmography.

True to her subtitle, author Patricia Bosworth centers her insightful

book “Jane Fonda: The Private Life of a Public Woman” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) on the woman more than the performances of the two-time Oscar winner.

Fonda has put as much or more energy into creating and recreating herself offscreen as on. Just as her characters in “Julia” and “Coming Home” reinvent their lives or find a new

purpose, so has Fonda, shifting her focus from acting to activism to fitness to faith and, facing fresh challenges as a septuagenarian, back to fitness.

To fill the void created by an emotionally stunted father and a mentally ill mother, Fonda turned to strong-willed, if flawed, men. Fonda eagerly followed the lead of those she married — French director Roger Vadim, activist Tom Hayden and broadcast tycoon Ted Turner.

Jane Fonda has put as much energy into re-creating herself off-screen as on.

Even when her actions have gone awry — sitting on an anti-aircraft gun in North Vietnam — she has kept trying to figure out what her life could be and should be about.

While a friend of her subject, Bosworth doesn’t ignore Fonda’s many stumbles along the path of self-discovery or excuse the pain she has caused others with her single-minded and self-centered pursuits. Hers has been a remarkable journey, and a life Bosworth explores with honesty and empathy in a book as striking as its subject. DOUGL ASS K. DANIEL (AP)

CWhYki 9^ek" 9WdZWY[ B[k Marcus, 31, is a software engineer.

Candace, 30, is a paralegal. They live in Fairfax.

THE MAIN EVENT: Sept. 4, in Falls Church.

HOW THEY MET: Candace was hosting a Chinese New Year party; Marcus was there with a friend. After the party, they didn’t talk for nine months, even though they’d been attending the same church for all that time.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: “I thought she was too pretty to approach.”

FIRST DATE: Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Tysons Corner. “I was called Mrs. Chou and everyone thought we were on our honeymoon. I guess they all saw our special spark!”

HOW HE PROPOSED: During the blizzard of December ’09, Marcus “built a snowman, placed the ring on its head and knelt in the very deep snow. To this day, Candace insists she is engaged to the snowman.”

THEIR SONG: Adele’s “Make You Feel My Love.”

“I think it’s just a beautiful song about one’s love for another,” says Candace.

PET NAMES: He’s “bun-bun,” short for “honey bunny.” She is “cupcake,” “because she loves cupcakes and is pretty and cute like them.”

HOW THEY MET: At the inauguration party Lauren threw in 2009.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: “I thought he was attractive, smart, funny and Jewish!”

FIRST DATE: Drinks at Marvin, then they moved to the Gibson and talked for hours.

FIRST KISS: After the first date,

HOW HE PROPOSED: When the limo Michael hired showed up at their house, Lauren saw Michael standing in the living room “with a big smile on his face. It hit me that he was about to propose, so I ran up the stairs to turn off the curling iron so I didn’t burn the house down.”

THEIR SONG: “Lump Sum” by Bon Iver.

WHEN HE KNEW: When she met his family. “My family is big and everyone is up in everyone’s business. Lauren loved it and fit in well.”

FAMILY TRADITIONS: They’ve incorporated many family relics: Lauren is wearing her mother’s veil, and they’re using Lauren’s grandmother’s kiddush cup and Michael’s greatgrandmother’s ring.

THE MAIN EVENT: On Sept. 10, they’ll say their vows at an estate in Richmond, Va. Ted’s father will officiate.

HOW THEY MET: At Modern, a lounge in Georgetown. “He claims he doesn’t remember meeting me.”

FIRST DATE: A New Year’s Eve party.

“Ted talked me out of a 5K in the freezing rain and said he’d pick me up at 7. I liked the initiative.”

HOW HE PROPOSED: During a predawn hot air balloon ride during a weekend getaway. “I kept her off the trail by pretending to clumsily plan a ‘surprise’ engagement for a month later,” he says.

STUPIDEST FIGHT: “When we moved in together, he took the liberty to decide which of my belongings would be necessary for the house.

Did I mention he throws everything away?”

CELEBRATING HERITAGE: Pauline and the bridal party will wear ao dais, traditional Vietnamese dresses, for the rehearsal dinner.

FAMILY TRADITIONS: Ted used the diamond from his late mother’s engagement ring in Pauline’s, and the emeralds in cuff links for himself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You may have the odd sense that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve arrived, but you also know there is still much to be done before you are truly satisfied.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Diversity is the key; put all your eggs into one basket and you will surely fall short. Aim higher, but take necessary precautions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Now is no time for aimless pursuits; what you do must have a focus, a goal, and a clearly defined approach.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Rewards come your way, but tangible rewards are not really what you are after at this time. Still, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re nothing to scoff at.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your method of working is likely to impress someone who can do you a good turn when you need one.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may not have to protect yourself, but you will surely want to protect someone else, and that may prove even trickier.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Once you get the hang of something, you can make it your own, but you must put in the time and the effort it truly requires.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may only be fooling yourself if you think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fooling others. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall into the trap youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to set.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may have to confront certain uncomfortable issues on your own; only then will you be able to resolve other complicated issues.
