A new suitor could become quite frustratedas a result. If you are attached, your significant other could bea little put off by your moodiness, but he or she will get usedto it. Scorpio is even more stubborn than you are!

It is well known that experts findmore missing queens than theaverage player, but some of thesubtleties involved in the searchcan be lovely to watch.North-South ended up infive hearts after an extremelycompetitive auction. It was not agood contract, but there was hope.The king of diamonds had to beon-side and declarer had to findthe queen of trumps.West won the first two tricks withthe queen and jack of spades,then shifted to a club. The spadeposition was clear from theauction and the clubs were likelyto be splitting 5-5. South wantedsome information about the redsuits before tackling trumps, so herose with dummy’s ace, discardinga spade, and led a diamond. Eastplayed low. Would you insert thejack or the 10? Doesn’t matter,right? South played the jack,winning the trick. He ruffed aspade and led another diamond,this time to the 10. The king ofdiamonds was known to be withEast, who was now nearly certainto have started with 4-1-3-5distribution. South cashed theking of hearts and played a heartto dummy’s 10 to score up hisambitious contract.Should East have played the kingof diamonds on the second roundof the suit, to deceive declarerabout the distribution? Toodangerous! West might have hadthe 10 and he would be throwingaway the setting trick. Had Southplayed his 10 on the first round ofdiamonds, East might well havefound this clever play.

THE NEW YORK TIMES

We know that a bowl of hot cereal on a weekdaymorning is sustaining, but it can also be delicious,even complex.

I make it interesting by adding surprising littlegrains like amaranth to the familiar ones, likeoatmeal or steel-cut oats. I also stir in grated apple,which adds a fresh, zesty dimension, as well as rai-sins and maple syrup, a breakfast sweetener that Idon’t reserve for pancakes. I like amaranth becausethe little seeds (technically it’s a seed, not a grain)contribute texture to the porridge. The flavor isboth grassy and nutty.

I always try to eat this breakfast on the daysthat I have an early workout. It really does help mystamina. I need to get out the door quickly on thesemornings, so I begin the cooking process the nightbefore, pouring boiling water over the oats and anyother grains or seeds I may be using. They soakovernight, softening while retaining their texture.

The next morning all I need to do is cook the mix-ture in the microwave for 2 to 4 minutes. You couldmake it on the stovetop instead, though it doesn’tmake much of a difference in the final product. Ittakes just a minute or two longer.

It’s a great breakfast and it requires no morefuss than a bowl of cold cereal with milk. But it’s somuch more satisfying.

Over time, Omaha’s beat cop ranks dwindled to a single cop manning Douglas Street from 16th to 24th Streets. In 1949,an effort was made to revive the beat cops, bringing them out of their cruisers and putting walkie-talkies in their hands.Here, one of the new beat cops, Monroe Coleman, built rapport with kids living at the Logan Fontenelle housing project.
