MANILA - A feng shui expert predicts love, fame, and tempers flying for "TV Patrol" anchors this 2014.
Citing several chart readings for the Year of the Wooden Horse, feng shui master Hanz Cua predicted a year ahead filled with love and relationships for newscaster Ted Failon.
"Maraming siyang dadating na love luck. Magagandang babae at mga batang babae ang energy ng kanyang romance star this 2014," he said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.
Given his luck with relationships, Failon was encouraged by Cua to seek different business partners. The feng shui expert cautioned him, however, against neglecting his health.
"Bantayan niya 'yung health niya kasi ang kanyang immune system ay weak nitong 2014," he said.
Co-anchor Noli de Castro, who was born during the Year of the Ox, would also have similar luck this 2014, according to Cua, but one that translates into more job opportunities and television projects.
"Nasa number three siya [Ox] sa luckiest animal this 2014 so marami akong nakikitang career upward, career promotion this 2014. At the same time, sa relationship luck, very strong," he said.
"Maraming surprise, bagong mga projects, things and opportunities para kay Noli de Castro this 2014," he added.
Meanwhile, Cua advised Sanchez on handling certain issues in 2014. "Huwag niya patulan 'yung mga issues, dahil kapag nagtimpi siya o hindi niya pinansin, unti-unting mawawala yung makukulit na energy na 'yan."

President Aquino should remain a bachelor if he wants to get lucky in life.
This was the unsolicited advice of popular Feng Shui Master Hanz Cua, during a press conference in Mandaluyong City, in preparation for Chinese New Year that will welcome the Year of the Horse on January 31.
Based on his forecast, Aquino has double self-penalty sign on his Feng Shui charts that spells trouble. His House of Spouse has a problem. That signifies gulo. Possible na mag-kakaroon siya ng sakit ng ulo kung mag-aasawa sya. If ever he will get married, mag-hi-hiwalay din sila. He should remain a bachelor all his life, Master Hanz said. Aquino has been linked to several personalities. In 2011, Aquino said that he wish to get married after he steps down from office in 2016.
Master Hanz, Asias youngest Feng Shui master, suggested that Aquino could go on dates but he should never get serious about his relationships with them to the point of discussing marriage. Girlfriend lang dapat sa kanya, hindi pwede ang asawa.
Master Hanz also encouraged the public to eat spicy food and get lucky this year. Makakadag-dag swerte ang pag-kain ng maaanghang, spicy dishes and chili dahil marami tayong Fire element this year. Pati madalas na pag-prepare ng mainit na sabaw makakabuti rin. Magiging maganda ang flow ng luck natin with these dishes, he said.
But Master Hanz said that the public should be moderate in preparing spicy food because too much of everything is not good.
Earlier, Master Hanz forecast 2014 to be a hot year as disasters continue to devastate parts of the country.
We will experience hotter weather this year. Rain will be less which will create havoc to the agriculture sector, he said.
Master Hanz added: Its the Year of the Horse. The Wood and Fire elements will be dominant in 2014. And because it will be hot this year, water is expected to evaporate fast. Its effect could trigger strong weather disturbances. Another super typhoon is not far-fetched. Later, we should expect heavy rains and more floods, said Master Cua.

A CLOSE relative of the mangosteen, the happiness tree is not only ornamental, but also serves as a barrier against strong winds. It is a good addition to smaller gardens and exposed yards. For many people, it is an auspicious tree.
PLANT NAMES
A native of the Philippines, Taiwan and Japan, the tree, (botanical name: Garcinia subelliptica), is a member of the Clusiaceae family that has various local names. In Taiwan and Japan, it is called fukugi, meaning happiness tree in Chinese. It is also known as the fortune tree, perhaps because the leaves resemble the shape and colour of an ancient Japanese coin. Other names include the Philippines Fortune Tree and common Garcinia.
FAVOURED TREE
Some 300 years ago, feng shui masters assisted in the settlement of new villages and improvement of the landscapes in Okinawa. The goal was to achieve harmony between man and nature.
Greening was stressed to rid evil spirits and to enhance good energy. Fukugi trees, along with ryukyu pines and other native trees, were functionally planted to protect the landscape from typhoons and monsoon winds through multi-layered tree planting.
Since fukugi trees were intentionally grown and settled among forest belts based on feng shui concepts, they were considered auspicious. One such tree, estimated to be almost 400 years old, grew more than 15m high. Fukugi trees have very long lives and can grow into magnificent trees.
UNIQUE LEAVES AND BARK
Besides being a capable windbreaker, the tall and robust fukugi is also salt resistance. It is, therefore, suitable to be grown in coastal areas. The tree has beautiful leathery green leaves and its bark can be used to make reddish dye. New leaves are bright green and turn dark green when mature. The simple ovate, tough fleshy leaves are arranged in a spiral manner in opposite pairs. They have smooth margins and their mid-veins are raised. The top side is dark green while the underside is yellow-green. The apex is broad, rounded and a little notched.

PORT WASHINGTON (WITI) The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is using a tool to help keep drivers safe while battling the whipping winds of winter. Its something you probably pass every day without even noticing.
Whether its permanent snow fences or temporary snow fences, we have programs in place for some of our more rural roads, said Mike Pyritz with the Wisconsin DOT.
One fence, built on I-43 near Port Washington a few years ago was a pilot program of sorts, as the structure is much larger than a typical snow fence. The stretch of highway had a history of high winds and drifting snow.
One of the leading problems that we have with the wind and the snow is creating the black ice on the roadways, so we try to monitor and make the adjustments to keep the roadways just as safe as possible, said Pyritz.
The strategy continues to evolve as the DOT works on creating more natural barriers using plants and bushes to help block winds.Permission from landowners is needed any time fences are built on property not owned by the state.
The DOT says the more snow it can keep from blowing on the road, the less money any municipality will have to spend on snowplowing to get the snow back off the road.

January 25, 2014 AS I SEE IT: Fences bring back memories

EDMOND Outside my office window I can see a portion of the second newest fence on this place. Yellow Jasmine climbs that gray fence, emerging from gaps in the low hedge that I planted myself atop a low retaining wall some time ago. The back fence I had replaced after a windstorm a couple years ago is the newest, but not so new that it hasnt also turned gray. The south fence is the oldest. Its grayer than gray and it could do with a good replacing, but not as long as its still standing. In Mending Walls, the poet Robert Frost writes of a neighbor who says, Good fences make good neighbors. My neighbors are good, but I suspect its their nature and not the fences that make them so.
Theres a lot to be said for fences. I was 2 years old when a Montana Department of Highways employee named Bob Fletcher wrote Dont Fence Me In and sold it to Cole Porter for $250. I first heard the song as a budding teen when my hero Roy Rogers sang it in the movie Hollywood Canteen. It wasnt long before even my parents and their friends were whistling along or singing the lyrics: Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above. Dont fence me in. Remember? Catchy tune, but Im personally more comfortable being fenced in.
Not fenced in claustrophobically, though. At a different place and time I had a split-rail fence built to surround my corner lot, but I had them leave a gap on the off-street side and another in the back so my neighbors could come and go.
One of my fence installers was a burly high school student. I can still see him lying flat on his belly, one arm buried up to his shoulder in the hole he had dug and was clearing of rocks to accommodate a fence post. The temperature had fallen to barely above freezing. He grinned up at me through mud-flecked teeth when I went out to check on him. Steel dont get cold, he assured me. He and the Wisteria vines that eventually covered that fence are among my finest memories.
Not so fine is my memory of the fence I burned to the ground when I was sent to empty my aunts trash into the burning bin located between the garage and the fence. Who knew live embers remained in the bin? Or that paint rags were in the bottom of the trash can I emptied into it? The fire took the fence and a spindly old apricot tree, but the garage was saved while I quaked beneath the bed where Id hidden.
Purple and yellow Morning Glory vines had always climbed the fence that I reduced to ashes. For as long as she lived, my aunt saw to it that Morning Glory vines continued to climb its replacement.

LIHUE Coming ahead of the installation of the Pier 1 Imports sign, Kauai Builders workers started removing the familiar Borders Books & Music signage Wednesday.
The Pier 1 sign is still being manufactured, but work is continuing on the 40,000-square-foot space, said Stacie Chiba-Miguel, the CBRE Real Estate Manager. The drywall and space is already in place.
Chiba-Miguel said the removal of the iconic bookstore signage is part of the Kukui Grove Center preparations to welcome Pier 1 Imports, North Americas largest specialty retailer.
