FOOD PROCESSOR AND A BLENDER, who would win? Let’s take a look. Blenders are tall, often with a glass blending container that has hash marks for measuring, and with fixed blades. They are designed mostly to mix liquids, to puree fruits for smoothies and to blend ice cream with milk for milkshakes. A blender’s motor is weaker, but it should be able to crush ice. Food processors are shorter and stout, usually plastic, and have blades you can change out, depending on the task you want to perform. The motor on a food processor is more power- ful, to chop nuts, meats, dried fruits, etc. You don’t need liquid in a food processor; you do in a blender. Grab your wallet: You’ll spend more for a food processor than a typical blender. -- Heloise P.S.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Reach out for someone at a distance SCARY GARY Mark Buford who is often a source of wisdom. Opportu- nities appear when relating to a close friend or associate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might feel energized by a close friend’s idea. You will want to jump on the bandwagon, but make sure your presence is welcome.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You have a way of drawing oth- ers toward you. However, you might not be the only one with this gift.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Speak your mind and be willing to take a stand. You might discover how dif- ficult it can be to hold an audience’s atten- tion.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Realize how much you are spend- ing. You might need to tighten your budget.
