Price paid: $ 595
Purchased from: ZagerGuitar.com
Features: This great guitar was handmade at Zager Guitar in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA. (October of 2012). It is a dreadnought style with a solid Sitka Spruce top, mahogany sides back, neck and headstock. The strings are held in tune with Grover tuning machines. The nut is hand carved and it has a hand-carved Tusq saddle which transmits the sound perfectly to the under-saddle pickup. This model features a Fishman Clearwave active electronics with built in tuner, volume control, treble-mid-base equalizer as well as phase and presence adjustments. This is a very nice electronics pkg. The body of the guitar has black binding, Abalone rosette around the sound hold and pearl fret markers. Frets number 20, all hand-filed. The finish of this guitar is very high gloss with a black pick guard. Physically this guitar is magnificent to look at. Not in a flashy way. Just extremely well done. I bought it for $595 on sale... Which was an incredible steal for what I received. Any other guitar that could match the sound, quality, features, fit and finish of this guitar would run at least $1500 - $2000. // 10
Sound: I have played and owned all kinds of guitars since I was 23. I am now 66. I have owned Yamaha, Gibson, Takamine, Guilds and a few others. (I recently sold my Takamine EG523SC to make room for my new Zager ZAD20 AE. I still have my 40 and 30 yr old Guilds). I have played Martins and Taylors. BUT... My Zager is now my first love and the reason is it plays and sounds so sweet. This guitar, right out of the new case, needed NO SETUP. It had been personally finished by Denny Zager himself using his "String Science System". His own bracing system along with quality woods (not to mention superb quality control) give this guitar a really full sound with amazing sustain. // 10
Action, Fit & Finish: As I said in the last paragraph... This guitar comes with a complete setup already done. The spacing of the strings, the height of the strings (action), the intonation were all perfect. The electronics were right on. The neck and frets were without any sharp edges of any kind. Everything was smooth as silk. From what I understand from others who have bought these guitars... This is standard for the guitars Denny Zager sends to his customers. The quality is evident from the moment you first open the case. // 10
Reliability & Durability: I have to say that after playing Martins, Taylors, Gibsons, Takamines, Guilds.. I would rate this guitar at the head of the pack. I would not hesitate to count on this guitar for years of gigging without a backup. I'm finding it hard to play anything else now. I have 2 really nice Guild dreadnoughts that I love enough to never part with, but... This beautiful looking and sounding Zager has captured my musical heart and I'm looking forward to playing it for many years. It is my favorite and my "go to" guitar! // 10
Overall Impression: I am first a finger picker, flat picker second. The guitar I ordered did not come with an on-neck strap button but a quick email to Denny Zager Jr got one put on before it shipped at no cost to me. He even included a pretty nice strap, t-shirt, extra strings (Martin lights), picks and a written warranty. Typical of Denny is to receive a return email within less than an hour. Customer service is impeccable. So now I have owned this guitar for a solid week. I find it hard to put down and begrudge having to interrupt my playing to do life's normal activities. The way this is setup, I can play for hours now with arthritic hands and all. There is no pain when I play. If my Zager was lost or stolen, as soon as I stopped crying I would be on the phone with the wonderful folks at Zager ordering a replacement.
As for my other equipment I own 2 Guild D-50s, 2 Crate acoustic amps, a Fender Stratocaster and a Vox Valvetronix (tube)amp. All my amps are modeling amps which gives me a way to play all kinds of music.
Purchased from: Zager.Com
Features: This guitar is 2 years old and is made of solid spruce and mahogany back and sides. The size is standard dread, and it has high gloss finish. The controls include, volume, phase, presence, treble, middle, and bass. It also has a built in tuner with the electronics. Very helpful feature. Electronics work great with my brand new amp. It came shipped in a case that I bought from them, with many freebie accessories. I was all set up to play out of the box when it arrived. // 9
Sound: The sound is bright and clear. It has a full sound and compares to my 5 year old guitar of a different brand, and the 20E is only getting better. Sounds great unplugged too. The sound is nice and loud and it doesn't hold back. I can play harder with more volume, or softer and it's got that heartfelt sound there too. Either way it's great for many different styles and settings. // 9
Action, Fit & Finish: The playability is great because of the design of the guitar. I had played a friend's Zager a few times and realized it's so much more fun to play a guitar with nice action. Instead of paying to have my old guitar done by someone else, I got a Zager instead. This guitar did not come with any flaws. The finish is perfect, grains on the face are very pretty and all the other parts are nicely aligned and attached. Everything has been in great working order since it arrived with me. // 10
Reliability & Durability: As previously stated, this guitar has not had any issues since I bought it 2 years ago. My friend's has also held up well. Sound is getting better with age. They are built to last and I'm sure the Zager crew would help me out with any warranty work if I needed it. // 10
Overall Impression: This guitar has been a great investment since I bought it. I play for fun, therapy, relaxation, whatever you call it. This guitar has been a new favorite of mine. I can rely on it and it's always in tune and sounding spectacular. I'm happy I bought it, and would get another if something happened to it. For the pricepoint this guitar is a great instrument. It's nice in that I didn't have to spend $1000 just to get a nice guitar. It's also not a junker that was a waste of a few hundred bucks like to many guitars geared at beginner/intermediate/non-pro players.
Price paid: $ 495
Purchased from: Zager Guitars
Features: Made is USA, in Nebraska by Denny Zager of "In The Year 2525" fame. Top is Sitka Spruce, Back, Sides, Neck and Headstock are all Mahogany. Abalone Rosette, Pearl fret markers and a high gloss finish over a flamed top (sunburst). Grover tuners with hand carved nut and saddle. The tuners are really outstanding... Smooth as silk. I bought this guitar because a friend told me I had to check them out. I played his and was completely floored. After getting my own I can't imagine wanting or playing another acoustic at any price. // 10
Sound: This is the most beautiful guitar I've ever played. Sounds better than my Dad's Martin HD-16R. It plays just as well or better (we are arguing about this). What is especially impressive to me about this guitar is its dynamic range. It can go from whisper quiet to loud as anything and always sounds amazing while doing it. I play it through the PA at band practice and it really shines. As anyone knows, playing an acoustic amplified can be a tiring exercise in feedback hunting. The EQ made it really easy to find the offending frequency and kill it. The pickups offer plenty of output to play with a loud rock band. // 10
Action, Fit & Finish: The famous "Zager setup"... No guitar comes set up this well. Perfectly intonated (and I mean really perfect, I checked with a chromatic tuner) and the action is AMAZING. You won't believe how well it's set up when you get it. The action is absolutely perfect. Low enough to be very easy to play but not a single fret buzz in sight. Another interesting stand out feature is the string spacing. The strings are just the right distance apart to facilitate great playing. There isn't a single flaw... I've combed over the guitar many times since I got it and it is absolutely flawless. // 10
Reliability & Durability: Seems to be very well built, sturdy yet light. Perfect stage guitar. The frets are "soft touch" and hand filed. I think they contribute to it's amazing playability. The tuners are incredibly smooth and solid, I've had zero tuning problems. It stays in tune very well. It was pretty close to in tune when I got it in the mail after ground shipping which is pretty incredible. The strap buttons are very good too, high quality and there are no worries about straps slipping off. The electronics are very high quality as well. Sliders, buttons and knob on the control panel feel high quality and it really does sound amazing through various PA's. // 10
Overall Impression: I use this guitar in a rock/psychedelic band. It's a perfect fit as far as sound and playability. I have been playing for almost 30 years and play in 4 to 5 bands at any given time. I also spend a lot of time doing solo work. The stand out features in my mind are it's beautiful sound, it's perfect setup and how just pretty the darn thing looks. I'd have to include it's dynamic range in there as well. There is nothing to hate about this guitar. I compared it to many other guitars, I played my buddies Zager and about 20 high end acoustics at Guitar Center... The choice was easy for both sound and value. I can't believe I found my perfect guitar, best choice I ever made. // 10
Features: This is a very solidly built USA made guitar, more specifically made in Lincoln Nebraska. In terms of woods, it has a sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and of course a rosewood fretboard. Comes with super smooth Grover tuners too. It has a very simple electronics system that does not impede the tone and sound of this guitar, both physically and tonally through an amp. It doesn't come with any strap buttons, but that's to be expected for a relatively high end acoustic. For more detailed specifications, just go to the Zager website. In my purchase, I bought the hard case to accommodate the guitar. Some of the other accessories I received were an extra pack of strings, a small pack of picks, authentication papers, and a free t-shirt! // 10
Sound: Playing acoustic isn't my primary style and type of instrument. However, I've been wanting an acoustic that could take on the sound of just about any of my favorite acoustic sounds varying from Bon Iver to blues or to anything indie. This guitar absolutely nails any tone I want out of it. What it really comes down to is hearing it for yourself. The most notable tonal characteristic of the guitar is that it rings like a bell and has more sustain than some of my electrics, believe it or not. In short, incredible sound. // 10
Action, Fit & Finish: The guitar was set-up perfectly right out of the box. It was detuned slightly, but that is to be expected. There were two tiny imperfections in the finish that you really had to get up close and personal to see. However, I knew that there would be some form of a ding somewhere because I bought this guitar slightly used and discounted. If you weren't specifically looking at every spot on the guitar, you might not even find an imperfection. The guitar also came with what sounded and acted like new strings, which is a pleasant change from most new guitars that come with nondescript old strings that sound terrible. A great out of the box final touch I would say! // 9
Reliability & Durability: Unfortunately, the guitar came with no strap buttons. However, it is not uncommon for acoustics to not include them. The rest of the hardware is very solid, and I am sure this guitar will last for years with the proper maintenance of course. As I've only had it for a few days, I can't say for sure exactly how it will hold up in live situations, but I am confident that it will. The guitar just feels so solid and well built. // 8
Overall Impression: This guitar is the sound that I've had in my head for a long time. Whether or not that sound is similar to mine, you'll just have to hear for yourself. You can do this with ease as Zager offers a 100% money back guarantee that if you don't like the guitar, you can return it, and they pay the shipping. Totally risk free. If this guitar was stolen or lost or something along those lines, I would definitely buy it again. I've been playing for about 3 years now, but people have told me I sound like I've been playing for at least double that. I love everything about this guitar. It's definitely worth trying out risk free. One of the things that I noticed when I first visited the Zager website was that everything seemed fake in an odd way, almost as if it was a scam. But I was completely wrong after reading about the company's history and their reputation. I was further proven wrong after working with the customer service, which is all run directly by Dennis Zager Jr., Zager's son. I was taken aback by the courtesy and quick respond time that I received. There really isn't any company like Zager Guitars, especially at the price point that their guitars come in at. All in all, check out their guitars! // 10

Here's the scoop: Most BB creams are little more than tinted moisturizers, often with sunscreen which is great but for NYX's version they left that critical component out. Most BB creams also include some beneficial ingredients but again, this one doesn't.
Overall when it comes to BB creams (or CC, DD, EE, and for one company an A to Z cream) it is a mixed bag of what you can expect. The best ones multi-task with bit of coverage, sunscreen, and anti-aging ingredients but this one does not meet expectations. This BB cream's lightweight, creamy texture has a weightless feel on skin and blends on smooth and sheer. Skin tone is slightly evened, but there's not enough opacity for covering blemishes and other skin imperfections—and the lack of sun protection puts this at a disadvantage compared to most other BB creams.
On the sun protection issue, it's worth mentioning that the formula includes two sunscreen ingredients; however, since they're not listed as active and this BB cream has no SPF rating, it cannot be relied on for UV light protection.
Each of the three shades are flatteringly neutral with a natural finish (not totally matte, nor too dewy). Currently, the shade range only caters to light and medium skin tones.
If NYX had front-loaded the formula with skin-beneficial ingredients and added sun protection, we would have been more impressed. As is, it's lacking and just not a compelling pick. Further adding to the problem, this BB Cream contains fragrance which is a potential irritant for skin (see more info).
Daily use of products that contain a high amount of fragrance, whether the fragrant ingredients are synthetic or natural, causes chronic irritation that can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin's ability to heal. Fragrance-free is the best way to go for all skin types. If fragrance in your skin-care products is important to you, it should be a very low amount to minimize the risk to your skin.

Comments about NYX Cosmetics BB Cream:
Use this product every day and have found it to be so far one of the best base products I have ever used. Doesn't sweat off or become oily like a lot of BB creams do. It blends really well into my skin tone and covers any redness or small imperfections. I would use a concealer for bigger imperfections if i wanted them completely camouflaged. But I would do that normally anyway regardless of what base I'm using. It covers surprisingly well though over pimples for a BB cream. HG product
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

NYX Cosmetics At-A-Glance
Strengths: NYX provides complete ingredient lists on its website; inexpensive for such quality makeup that rivals department store brands (yes, even M.A.C.); superior blush, gloss, and eyeshadow; several excellent mascaras.
Weaknesses: Many products are available only from the company's website, which means you can't see or test the colors in person (and the company doesn't offer samples); disappointing foundation primers.
This small Los Angeles–based makeup line was founded in 1999 by a woman named Toni Ko. The company's Web site is vague about Ko's background, merely stating that she developed an interest in cosmetics as a teenager (you know, just like about 99.9% of teenage women) and wanted to create her own line of cosmetics. Ko's goal was to produce high-quality products at affordable prices, and that's the draw of NYX (pronounced "nicks") Cosmetics. We are pleased to report that, for the most part, Ko succeeded in her childhood dream.
It is important to note that this line offers a full selection of makeup products, from foundations to lip gloss. However, the only place to access everything NYX Cosmetics has to offer is their Web site. The Ulta chain is the largest distributor of NYX Cosmetics products in the United States, but they carry a smaller selection of NYX products. The good news is that most of the few NYX products Ulta stocks are impressive, especially the powder eyeshadows, which compete evenly with eyeshadows that cost a lot more.

They walk in, shake your hand, check your heart, and before you know it — your time with the doctor is up.
Patients at UC San Diego, however, are testing a new way to see their doctor, with a 90-minute group visit.
"For me, this is about giving patients a choice, giving patients access to me as a physician," said Dr. Alexander Kuo, director of hepatology, UC San Diego Health System.
Kuo calls one patient at a time to the front of the room for an exam. The rest of the group watches, listens and asks questions.
"They're looking for just more resources, more information, and more help in dealing with their illness," Kuo said.
The group meets every four to six weeks in addition to their private appointments. The pilot program offers patients better access to their doctors and each other.
"They have a lot of shared knowledge and they can teach each other from their shared experiences," Kuo said.
A recent study showed physicians are seeing fewer of their patients. Doctors in training spent just eight minutes a day with each patient. That's about only 12 percent of their time, but they spent almost half of their days in front of a computer screen.
Christy Dickson-Johnston suffered acute liver failure last year. She decided to try a group visit. She said having the support of her doctor and the other patients helped her cope.
"You're not alone. It's so wonderful. You're sitting there, and you go, 'Oh, I feel that, too,'" Dickson-Johnston said.
It's a new idea that could change the way you see your doctor.
Typically, between five and seven patients attend Kuo's group visits. They can also bring a guest. At this time, UC San Diego offers the group appointments to patients with diabetes, liver disease and HIV.
Some places offer group visits instead of private appointments, but Kuo emphasizes that his group visits are in addition to regular exams. There is no extra charge, just the regular copay.

HBO (Sat, March 18, 8 p.m. ET)
It's 1935, and the future has just arrived at a godforsaken little Army base in Arizona. The cavalry is being phased out, and the armored division is rolling in (though the armor is essentially a few dinky one-man tanks that look like leftovers from the old Buck Rogers serials).
A handful of soldiers (led by Don Johnson and Craig Sheffer) refuses to stand by while a large herd of its horses is slaughtered down Mexico way. The soldiers steal the beasts and blaze a trail north, hotly pursued by a regiment that has orders to shoot on sight. The soporific climax has our herdsmen dashing to escape across the Canadian border with Army cannons poised to fire on them. I don't want to quibble, but weren't our pre-PETA heroes outside U.S. jurisdiction to start with? Why didn't they just stay in Mexico? What, the horses didn't speak Spanish?
The movie, directed by thirtysomething's Ken Olin, is based on a true story. Unfortunately, it's not a particularly interesting true story. Even an actor such as Kirk Douglas or Robert Redford would have had trouble handling a script this bombastic and barren. All Johnson can do is look off into the mid-distance and grimace. (Maybe those long days in the saddle didn't agree with him.) Rod Steiger dons jodhpurs and a remarkably variable accent for another in a recent string of strange supporting roles. Gabrielle Anwar and Bob Gunton costar.

Visita Iglesia Filipinawritten by lakandula on 2013-04-03
Of the days of the Holy Week, Maundy Thursday is typically the day for Catholics to do some church visits called Visita Iglesia. This tradition has its ancient roots when Holy Thursday was set for some visit to sacred sites associated with the passion and death of Christ in Jerusalem. The practice was replicated in ancient Rome with visits to seven of the earliest basilicas as symbolic of the holy places in the Holy Land.1 4 Share Tweet

WEATHERSFIELD -- An arrest warrant has been issued for a Struthers woman accused of threatening one drive-through clerk and spitting at another last week at a Salt Springs Road business.
Weathersfield police reported that Jennifer L. Price, 28, of Struthers, went through the Dunkin' Donuts' drive-through last Tuesday and ordered a drink. Reports state that Price became angry and threatened the clerk after the clerk advised her that the drink had to be charged a specific way.
Police said a second clerk came to the window and told Price to leave. They said Price proceeded to spit in the second clerk's face.

Police charged Price with disorderly conduct and menacing. The charges were filed with Niles Municipal Court.
Authorities are asking anyone with information about Price's whereabouts to contact Weathersfield police at 330-675-2730.

The Texas Panhandle's most Amarillo metro-
oriented athletic district will play its first contests of 2013 on Friday evening featuring a pair of games that will epitomize the quality and tradition of District 3-4A girls basketball.
Fittingly, 3-4A opens with a pair of ranked Amarillo ISD schools facing off. Palo Duro, a district holdover, will host Amarillo High, a Class 5A playoff team last year, at 7:30 p.m. in what figures to be the first of several highly anticipated games between ranked opponents in district play.
And those two schools don't even have the loftiest reputation in the district. Canyon, which has been ranked No. 1 in the state by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches, will open 3-4A play by hosting fellow Canyon ISD rival Randall at 6 p.m.
There don't figure to be many "off" nights in 3-4A, so it's appropriate that Palo Duro (14-6) and Amarillo High (16-5) will draw each other right out of the chute.
"You kind of want to know how you stack up against the best teams in this district," said Palo Duro coach A.J. Johnson, whose team was ranked No. 12 in the most recent TABC poll. "We enjoy the competition of playing good teams, which is why we go to places like Duncanville (for last week's Sandra Meadows Classic). We certainly think Amarillo High is one of those top teams."
The Lady Sandies look that way on paper. Since dropping down to Class 4A following realignment 11 months ago, Amarillo High is 16-5 and was most recently ranked No. 5 in the state by the TABC.
But Amarillo High coach Jeff Williams knows dropping a level in class hardly means dropping a level in quality of competition.
"The district's so loaded that honestly it's going to be tough night in and night out," Williams said. "We're going to have to play (at Palo Duro) eventually, so it's a challenge for sure."
The PD-Amarillo High game is a perfect example of how ratcheted up the intensity figures to be from game to game in 3-4A. Road trips will be much shorter, but the games will take on more of a provincial quality due to the proximity of the schools to each other.
With senior Sasha Watson, a four-year letterwinner at guard, the Lady Dons have arguably the most talented and experienced player in the district. And what they'll have over the Lady Sandies, on this one night, is a friendly home crowd, a situation Johnson is urging his team to take advantage of in district.
"Defending the home court is real important when it comes to making the playoffs later in the season," Johnson said. "(Having mostly local teams) makes for a more interesting district."
Last year, 3-4A included Dumas (which remains in the district), Hereford, Plainview and Frenship, which stretched things out a bit. Amarillo High was in a district with three Lubbock schools, so Williams said his team will get used to short but more intense road trips.
"I think it's going to make it that much more interesting compared to what we had in the past," Williams said. "I think the crowds are going to be much bigger, and it will be a lot more exciting. The next time we get on a bus will be when we close district by going to Dumas (on Feb. 5)."
Compared to Amarillo High's trip to Palo Duro, Randall's ride to Canyon seems like a marathon. But it's a highly familiar one, as the two schools are going into their fifth straight year as 3-4A rivals.
It's always seemed liked Canyon (19-3) has been first among equals in 3-4A. The Lady Eagles have won 41 straight district games, had an undefeated state championship season in 2011, and bring back leading scorers senior Kyndal Davis and junior Madison Parker.
But in typically unassuming fashion, veteran Canyon coach Joe Lombard isn't taking anything for granted heading into district play.
"I'm not looking forward to any of the games in the district this year," Lombard said. "I think it's the best 4A district in the state from top to bottom. We have a lot of similarities between us (and Randall), and they've got a bunch of kids back from last year."
The one Randall face Lombard is most familiar with is first-year coach Brooke Walthall, who almost a decade ago played for Lombard at Canyon when she was known as Brooke Baughman.
Randall is 14-7 under Walthall, and the Lady Raiders have already played Canyon once, in the championship game of the AMA TechTel Kids, Inc. Tournament of Champions. The Lady Raiders played Canyon tough before losing 45-37, something Walthall thinks should help her team.
"I think it's a really good thing, and I'm excited about it," Walthall said of opening district against her alma mater. "Our kids have worked hard and that's what it's about. I think that our kids know (Canyon's) kids really well, and it's probably a good thing that we've played them already."
The other district opener will take place at Caprock (13-8), as the Lady Longhorns host Dumas (7-10) at 6 p.m.
"I just think that if you don't play very well for four quarters, you aren't going to have a chance to win very many ballgames," Caprock coach Wes Torres said.
"Dumas is much improved and they worry me."
■ Canyon holding fundraiser for Guy Crenshaw: As part of the doubleheader Canyon is hosting — which also features the Canyon boys hosting Lubbock Monterey at 7:30 p.m. — Coaches Against Cancer is holding a fundraiser to benefit Canyon boys coach Guy Crenshaw.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will go directly to Crenshaw and his family to help pay for treatment for prostate cancer, Crenshaw's recent diagnosis.
Despite the diagnosis and significant weight loss, Crenshaw has continued to coach the Eagles, and last week they won all three games they played at the Amarillo ISD Tournament.
During both the Canyon girls and boys games, fans can donate to Crenshaw's cause during bake sales and donations in designated jars outside of the gym.
At the end of the first quarter of the boys game, a hat will be passed around the gym to collect donations for Crenshaw.

During Monday's afternoon session at the LSU camp, the Tigers' coaching staff extended an offer to under-the-radar 2014 prospect Santos Ramirez.
The 6-foot-1, 180-pound defensive back is raw in his development, but has all the physical tools LSU looks for in its cornerbacks.
Ramirez played his junior season at Captain Shreve but reportedly transfered to Evangel. He boasts a 4.4 40-yard dash.
He did not commit on the spot once the LSU offer was extended, but sources around the situation said after Ramirez visits Arkansas later this month he'll likely commit to LSU.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Home Decor
|Casual, Funky, Whimsical
What materials did you use? Fabrics made of cotton, metallics, sequins, ribbon, gold thread, cotton thread, very thin cotton wadding (batting), odds and ends from my sewing box ...
What are you most proud of? Making something different and unique, even if it's far from perfect. I'm usually very "picky" and like everything to be as perfect as possible but, somehow, it didn't really matter in this case.
oh I found it, its cute, and love your little flowers at the bottom. nice to see your sewing machine is getting a complete workout
My machine is still a bit of a mystery to me. Just bought a proper table with an inset for it at a quilt show a couple of days ago. That will enable me to have the quilting in a place where I can see it properly. At present I'm having to use the diningroom table, which is really far too high. The new table will arrive later this week and my open-toe quilting foot next week (I hope) so there'll be no holding me after that!
Pat I love the owl and although I am NOT a fan of yo-yo's - in this one they look absolutely adorable!
Thank you - he's a very long way from perfect, but it gave me a chance to try out various stitches on my new machine.
That's the beauty of it - Quilting doesn't have to be perfect.....It gives it that funky look with all the various stitches and looks really cool!
Thank you for saying that - it makes me feel better about my "ropey" bits!

Work by Rhys Ernst 01S is featured in the Whitney Biennial, the prestigious survey exhibition that runs from March 7 to May 25 at the Whitney Museum of American Art's building at 945 Madison Avenue at 75th Street in New York City.
Work by Rhys Ernst 01S is featured in the Whitney Biennial, the prestigious survey exhibition that runs from March 7 to May 25 at the Whitney Museum of American Art's building at 945 Madison Avenue at 75th Street in New York City.
The Whitney Biennial is widely regarded as a trend-setting exhibition in the contemporary art world, described by the New York Times as a "barometer of the country's art." Founded in 1932, it has helped artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, and Jeff Koons rise to prominence.
The biennial features works selected by three curators, Stuart Comer (Museum of Modern Art), Anthony Elms (Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia), and Michelle Grabner (the School of the Art Institute, Chicago).
"Relationship" is a photographic diary chronicling Ernst and his partner, Zackary Drucker, over the couple's five-and-a-half year relationship, during which Drucker was transitioning from male to female and Ernst from female to male. "The pictures are very personal, and the response has been really amazing. People have been really moved by them," Ernst said.
In addition to the photographic diary, Ernst and Drucker also collaborated on the short film She Gone Rogue. Ernst describes the film as "a fantastical, dream-like narrative," where "Darling," (played by Drucker) chases a lost love down a rabbit hole, encountering transgender archetypes played by legendary transgender performers Holly Woodlawn, Vaginal Davis, and Flawless Sabrina.
In addition to the Whitney selection, She Gone Rogue was also part of Made In L.A., The Los Angeles Biennial at the Hammer Museum, an exhibition similar to the Whitney Biennial, on the West Coast. Ernst's previous project, a short film called The Thing, was an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival.
Ernst will return to Hampshire on March 31 at 7 p.m. to screen three of his films (including She Gone Rogue, and The Thing) in room 120 of the Jerome Liebling Center.

A lot of people are excited about the latest instalment in the Mortal Kombat series, and for good reason - MK9 is a stunning return to form for a series that's been through more than its fair share of peaks and troughs in the past couple of decades.
Here we look at some of the areas where the Mortal Kombat series lost its way, and how Mortal Kombat 2011 sorts them out. There are some grisly screenshots here, so look away if you're feeling squeamish...
1. Fatalities get less gruesome, less exciting, or both
Let's start with the biggest deal of all, the thing that made Mortal Kombat notorious: those ridiculous finishing moves.
It's well known that the fatalities have been soft for a while. In the previous instalment, Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, the squeamish comic company wouldn't have their heroes do anything as unpleasant as kill someone, so in many cases - Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman - we had to make do with non-fatal and oxymoronic 'heroic brutalities'. What a missed opportunity. Baddies were allowed to kill, but many of the moves were limp, with virtually no gore on display. Kano, for example, had a feeble finisher where he jumped on his opponent's prone body "like Mario", as one site put it.
And that game's predecessor, MK: Armageddon, introduced Kreate-A-Fatality: a valiant but badly received system where you string together smaller acts of violence into a long-winded, silly whole. I think this maligned system grows on you - once you've got a few little ensembles of your own worked out it's quite satisfying - but it definitely took away the specialness of fatalities, the sense of occasion. Pretty much every Armageddon fight would end in some kind of screen-darkening event - often just a couple of arm breaks or a groin kick squeezed in before the timer ran out. And it just felt wrong that there weren't unique finishers for each character.
The fatalities in early MK games had graphics that were laughable by today's standards (Sheeva half-heartedly removing your skin with all the physical effort of someone unwrapping their Christmas presents was a particular highlight of MK3). But players were dazzled by the sense of excitement they provoked, and their inventiveness and range. Somewhere along the way that got lost.
Does MK9 fix it? Heck yes. The fatalities are some of the most disgustingly gory yet - you can chop off your opponent's arms, burn his face off in a pool of lava, throw him into the mouth of a carnivorous tree or make him rip his own head clean off - and the high-quality graphics make even the simpler or less original fatalities astonishing to watch. And each character has at least two finishing moves that are unique to them.
Someone enjoying a fatality, yesterday
2. Characters lose much-loved moves...
The thing that blew me away about Mortal Kombat II (sorry to keep harping on about the olden days, kids) was the fact that you could play as Shang Tsung, the boss of the first game, and do his morphing special move - turning into any other character and even doing their special moves and fatalities if you could remember the buttons. That blew my tiny mind. But Shang hasn't been able to morph since Mortal Kombat went 3D. This sucks.
And he's not the only one to mysteriously forget stuff. Johnny Cage's groin punch was highly amusing to me and my pals in the 90s, but that bit of innocent fun was snuffed out from Deadly Alliance onwards. Sonya can't do her handstand throw since DA. Jax lost his mid-air backbreaker throw. Sektor lost the ability to do guided missiles. Sub-Zero's fun ice puddle doesn't appear in every game.
I don't care if these moves were found to be unbalanced - they were the fun moves. Why take that away?
Does MK9 fix it? In a lot of cases, yes. I don't know if it's because NetherRealm realised they'd been taking out people's most cherished moves, or just part of the retro theme, but a fair few favourites are back: Sonya has her handstand throw back, Johnny Cage has his 'nut punch', Jax has his mid-air throw and Sub-Zero can do his ice puddle.
But they're not all back - Sektor's unavoidable homing missile is still AWOL [edit: actually it is available, as an 'enhanced' power move], and while Shang Tsung happily morphs into various characters when you fight him, he can only morph into his opponent when used as a player character. (Unless that's an unlockable feature that nobody's discovered yet...)
Finally, of course, the new X-rays are sure to become cherished moves of the future. Need convincing?
3. ...or get lame make-overs
Sub-Zero has suffered the most in this area. The first time we ever saw him, he looked brilliant: an evil ninja in simple blue and black gear. But they messed with the formula, turning him into a boring civilian in MK3, and some kind of operatic ice king in Deception, for no apparent reason.
And he's not the only one. Kung Lao looked awesome in MKII - creepy and cool, like a martial-arts goth cowboy. But he's never looked quite right since. Liu Kang died and got turned into a zombie. Johnny Cage keeps changing hair colour. And in their keenness to move away from the palette-swap sameyness of the ninjas in the early games, the designers turned Reptile into a Dr Who monster, Smoke into a weird alien and Ermac and Rain into exhibits from the British Museum.
Finally, of course, turning 3D made all the characters change their look entirely. Everyone became inexplicably sturdy. Particularly the ladies.
Does MK9 fix it? Mostly. I love the look of the characters in MK9, and they've often gone back to the classic, 'canon' look, polished with up-to-date graphics. Sub-Zero is a plain old (bright blue) ninja, Johnny Cage looks like Johnny Cage and Mileena and Kitana are thin again. Sorry if that sounds shallow.
That's more like it, Sub-Zero (image from themortalkombat.com)
Reptile still looks too much like an actual reptile for my taste (I liked the way he mostly hid his hideousness behind a ninja disguise - less is more, Reptile!). Ermac is still weird. And they've done one entirely new make-over - Smoke, for some reason, has done his hair like Gary Oldman's Dracula. But I love his new look, so I'll shut up.
Next page: Filler characters, missing characters, and the third dimension >>
We look at some of the things the Mortal Kombat series has got wrong over the years, and how Mortal Kombat 2011 sorts them out.
4. Too many filler characters, or not enough of the key ones
Things have been steadily bloating for years in the MK world, but things got truly ridiculous in Armageddon. I think 62 is an absurd number of playable characters.
I suppose you could argue that you don't need to play as them all, and of course you don't. But having so many makes it incredibly difficult to get attached to any of the newer characters. They all just blend into one. Who needs that many identikit large-chested ninja brunettes? And how is the game supposed to be a genuine test of skill when half the time your opponent is picking a character you've never played as, and maybe never even fought?
And this leads on to other problems mentioned above. Having 62 characters was presumably why they went for the Kreate-A-Fatality system instead of having individual fatalities. And clearly it would have been impossible for Shang Tsung players to memorise 61 morph button sequences.
62 characters: ridiculous (the slots directly above Scorpion and Sektor's heads are for home-made characters, maths fans, so I've not included them in the count)
Conversely, the following game, Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, trimmed things down in some areas - it missed out Cage and all the robot ninjas, for instance - while still feeling the need to pander to comic-book completists with relatively dispensible also-rans Deathstroke and Darkseid.
(Apologies to comic-book completists if those two are massively significant, by the way. But if you need to be a comic-book nut to know who the characters are, they shouldn't be in a Mortal Kombat title at the expense of Cyrax.)
Does MK9 fix it? There are far fewer characters in MK9 than in Armageddon, but more than in MK vs DC. And I think they've balanced it well - this time you get all the biggies, and very little filler. There will probably be a fair few filler characters added later as DLC, mind, but you'll only buy them if you like, say, Kenshi. You weirdo.
Scorpion and Johnny Cage: two characters that should be in every Mortal Kombat game
Fujin and... Taven? Or is it Daegon? Anyway, two characters we can live without
5. Going 3D to keep up with the times
Perhaps rather controversially, I've never been a huge fan of 3D in fighting games. I like my fighting games dumb and old-fashioned. But even if you could get me to admit its appeal in games that know how to use 3D - Virtua Fighter and Tekken are both distinguished fighting franchises - surely it's undeniable that Mortal Kombat never got the hang of it.
3D works best, in my mind, when the action is close and grapply. Mortal Kombat has always been more of an arms-length sort of a game, with a lot of emphasis on projectiles and leaping in from distance with flying kicks; and the boring old sidestep move is poison in that environment.
Does MK9 fix it? Mortal Kombat 9 is two-dimensional (in action terms; the character models have been rendered three-dimensionally). And I'm pleased about that. But I suspect not everyone will agree that this was something that needed fixing. I'd be interested to hear readers' views on this one.
Cyrax and Kitana, showing why two dimensions are best
Agree? Disagree? Let me know what you think in the comments box below. And don't forget to read our comprehensive review of MK9.

The beautiful games
The Grand Prix finale in São Paulo sets the stage for Brazil's greatest chapter of sport, as it gears up for both the World Cup and the Olympic Games
November 23 2012
Jamie Reid
The Brazilian Grand Prix, the final act of the 2012 Formula One season, takes place on Sunday November 25 at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace at Interlagos in São Paulo. It's a great honour to stage the last race of the year, when champions are often decided, and motorsport enthusiasts will be hoping for as gripping a climax as in 2008, when local boy Felipe Massa won the race but lost the title by just one point to Lewis Hamilton. If the past three years are any guide, Red Bull will be the team to beat, its drivers Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel having divided the spoils between them. By comparison, Lewis Hamilton has yet to win at Interlagos, and the McLaren team – which Hamilton is quitting to join Mercedes AMG – hasn't triumphed there since the Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya was successful in 2005.
It seems appropriate that a Brazilian sporting event should be in the spotlight as 2012 draws to an end. In 2013 Brazil stages the Confederations Cup football tournament, in 2014 the country hosts the football World Cup, and then in 2016 Rio will be the setting for the Olympic and Paralympic Games – the first time they have been held in South America. The epic performances and stirring atmosphere that characterised the London games are still fresh in the memory, but the Rio Olympics have the potential to be every bit as exciting.
The Holborn-based International Architects Studio Aecom, which designed the Olympic Park at Stratford, is also designing the Rio site, to be built on the former Brazilian Grand Prix track on the waterfront, with the Sugarloaf and Corcovado mountains providing a spectacular backdrop. And some venues will have a natural advantage over their London counterparts – Copacabana, for example, is the ideal setting for the beach volleyball.
But the present intention is for the athletics and the opening and closing ceremonies to be held in the iconic Maracaña Stadium, which is synonymous with football and will also stage the World Cup final in two years' time. The very mention of football in an Olympic context infuriates some people, who not only feel that it has no place in the games, but also draw unflattering comparisons between the Premiership's highly paid bad boys and dedicated Olympians, such as Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis. But if there's one country where football should blend seamlessly with the Olympic spirit, it is Brazil, which invented the phrase "the beautiful game". The skills of its many great footballers have been responsible for some sublime sporting spectacles, including the legendary display in the 1970 World Cup finals in Mexico, when Pelé, Jairzinho and Rivelino were all in their prime. Each new generation of Brazilian players takes its cue from the passion of the spectators, and that life-enhancing mixture of music and fun should underpin every event at both the Olympics and the World Cup.
The hosts are currently the 3-1 favourites to win the World Cup, for which their arch rivals, Argentina, look one of the biggest dangers at 5-1 with William Hill. A South American victory, one way or another, is the likeliest outcome, at even money, also with Hills.

OTSEGO, MI — It was time to let go.
Karin Caston said today that "Peeps," the young robin that she nursed after it fell from it's nest, appeared ready to return to nature.
On June 6, Caston heard loud chirping in her back yard, and so did her cats.
"I got to it before the cats did," Caston said of the bird. It was very young, half the size it is now. Caston also thought it was having trouble with one wing.
"I've never done any thing like this before, but it was something that I felt that I could do -- I just had an inner sense that I had to take care of him -- to give him a chance."
Peeps thrived in a cage that Caston bought at a garage sale, but the bird also took a liking to nestling in the fur of her cats. "They tolerated him," she said.
Today, Caston made the decision to return Peeps back to the wild.
"He's brought me a lot of joy, and it's been an amazing coupe of weeks," she said. "I'm sad, yet I know it's a wild animal and needs to return to nature."
Caston planned to picnic with her husband John tonight at Otsego's Brookside Park, where she was released the robin earlier in the day.
"I'm hoping that we don't see him, or maybe for just one last time," she said.

Vancouver RECOMMENDATIONS See all
365 Vendors at the Vancouver Flea Market
By AlyseInWonderland, USA, May 2011
Buyers come in the thousands every Saturday and Sunday between 9am and 5pm to sift through tables and tables of other peoples' offal, hoping to find some unique treasure to call their own. The Market also features fine antiques dealers and, in September, opened the Food Bazaar, a farmer's market filled with fresh fruit, vegetables, and home made food products.
Vendors sling furniture, handicrafts, electronics, jewelry, clothing, and all sorts of fun miscellany. As with any flea market, the good stuff goes quick; so I recommend that you arrive early, if you have your heart set on nabbing that 1972 Munich Summer Olympics Snoopy doll clothed in the American team's sweat suit!
The Market is conveniently located just a few blocks from the Main Street SkyTrain Station. Quite endearingly, they charge a 75-cent entrance fee that goes toward general maintenance and operations. But you will certainly earn that back and more with the amazing deals to be had!
If you've been searching high and low for a collection of LIFE magazines from 1954-1961 or an Edwardian chair in purple and yellow hound's-tooth print to reupholster, the Vancouver Flea Market may be a your best bet.

Last month we took a long weekend trip to Kansas City. As usual I did my food research ahead of time. I was very excited about the options in Kansas City for eating out with food restrictions. There were several places offering local, allergy friendly and gluten free options. We were really hoping to make it to Local Burger, just outside of Kansas City but unfortunately we didn't make it over there.
We did, however, have a great meal and restaurant experience worth sharing.
The first and my favorite, Waldo Pizza. When we called ahead to ask about nut allergies they were very informed and cooperative! It is not often that when you call a restaurant that the person who answers the phone can confidently answer your questions (usually a manager needs to be called to answer the questions), the obviously had been trained and well informed. this made us very confident to enjoy their pizza.
They offer a gluten free pizza crust (from my Olivia's Oven), vegan mozzarella cheese or soy cheese, as well as gluten free cookies and cupcakes. They offer a regular, gluten free and vegan menu. They have unique variety of toppings from several varieties of cheese, artichokes, herb roasted potatoes and much more. We had chicken and roasted garlic on one and it was delicious! We were not disappointed in this selection for dinner. Even those who were not used to the gluten free and dairy free options enjoyed this pizza!

May 10, 1999
The longtime resident has been active in town beautification for decades, planting dozens of flowers annually on Main Street. She has lived in Duvall long enough to see the town grow from 250 people to over 4,000 today.
Ruth was born to Albert and May Herman, whose historic dairy barn still stands next to the Stillwater Store. In 1929, the Hermans moved away to Redmond and then to Renton Junction (now Southcenter) and later Lake City. In 1938, Ruth, her brother Carl, and sisters Nora and Gail, moved back to Duvall with their parents. Ruth attended Cherry Valley Elementary from the 6th to the 8th grade and graduated from Monroe High School in 1945.
"Life was centered around the Duvall Methodist Church, where I taught Sunday School and attended Youth Fellowship programs," she said. "There weren't very many of us, so we all had to take part."
Ruth married John Coy, a Duvall dairy farmer, in 1950. "Our lives were filled with farming activities and children," she said. "They were active in sports and scholastic programs."
Children Ruth Ann, Neal, Margie, John, and Cameron graduated from Tolt High School. All live in Duvall except Cameron, who resides in Seattle and works in the computer field.
"I have been associated with dairy and crop farming for 48 years and the changes in regulation and markets have been very demanding," she said.
Ruth says she also enjoys flowers and gardening. "Each year, I have a large dahlia garden and pumpkin patch that the schoolchildren come to visit," she said. "I like to share flowers with friends and help in any way I can. It is a privilege to be Duvall's representative as the Grand Marshal."

RANGOON — The outgoing UN human rights rapporteur for Burma will urge the United Nations to get involved in an investigation into allegations that dozens of Rohingya Muslims were killed in Duu Chee Yar Tan village, Arakan State.
In his final report after six years of monitoring the rights situation in Burma, Tomás Ojea Quintana said he would recommend that the UN Human Rights Council assist with an inquiry into the situation because the Burmese government had failed to conduct a credible investigation on its own.
The UN rapporteur is expected to make these recommendations formally when he presents his report to the UN council on Monday.
Earlier this week, a government-backed investigation commission said it had found no evidence to suggest that police officers and an Arakanese Buddhist mob killed about 40 Rohingyas in Duu Chee Yar Tan in January. Members of the investigation commission included an adviser to President Thein Sein and an official from the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission, which earlier conducted its own investigation into the matter and also concluded that there was no evidence of a massacre.
"In view of the failure of the government to conduct a credible and independent investigation into the allegations of widespread and systematic human rights violations in Rakhine [Arakan] State which may constitute crimes against humanity, particularly since the outbreak of the June 2012 violence … the Special Rapporteur calls on the Human Rights Council to work with the Government to establish a credible investigation to uncover the truth of what happened in Du Chee Yar Tan on 13 and 14 January 2014, and to hold anyone responsible for human rights violations to account," said the report, published late this week on the website for the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Quintana made his ninth and final mission to Burma from Feb. 14-19. In Arakan State he met with the chief of the state police force and revisited Aung Mingalar, the only remaining Muslim neighborhood in the state capital Sittwe. He also went to Laiza, a rebel stronghold in the conflict area of Kachin State, as well as the Letpadaung copper mine in Sagaing Division and the Thilawa Special Economic Zone in Rangoon Division, both sites of alleged land-grabs.
He noted "significant changes" for the better in the country's overall rights situation since he began monitoring six years ago, including presidential amnesties that have led to the release of more than 1,100 political prisoners, free and fair by-elections in 2012, and progress in winding down decades of armed conflict in ethnic border states.
However, he said he was disappointed that Snr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing, commander-in-chief of Burma's armed forces, never once agreed to meet with him during his term. The UN rapporteur said it was important for the military to engage more with the international community.
"For the time being, the military retains a prevailing role in the life and institutions of Myanmar [Burma]," said the report. "State institutions in general remain unaccountable and the judiciary is not yet functioning as an independent branch of the State. Moreover, the rule of law cannot yet be said to exist in Myanmar. In this regard, tackling the impunity and systematic discrimination in Rakhine State represents a particular challenge which, if left unaddressed, could jeopardise the entire reform process."
The report reiterated many of the concerns expressed by Quintana last month, at the close of his visit, regarding ongoing rights violations in Kachin State and northern Shan State, including allegations of rape, arbitrary detention and torture during interrogation. It also expressed concerns over press freedoms.
"The Special Rapporteur highlights that there is a long way to go before Myanmar has a free, uncensored and unhindered press," it said, noting the recent detention of journalists from two local publications for their reporting about sensitive issues.
According to the report, Quintana received assurances from Minister of Information Aung Kyi that the Printers and Publishers Registration Bill had been amended to remove the ministry's power to grant and revoke publication licenses. The bill was formally approved by Parliament last week and will soon be signed into law by Thein Sein, but members of Burma's Interim Press Council say it still grants the government unilateral authority to withhold or revoke licenses.
The new rapporteur on human rights in Burma will be Yanghee Lee, a South Korean expert on children's rights issues. She has been a member of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child since 2003, and the committee's chair from 2007 to 2011.
To me, this is the key point. In his 6 years as UN special rapporteur:
'…he was disappointed that Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, commander-in-chief of Burma's armed forces, never once agreed to meet with him during his term.'
That is the attitude of the Burmese Govt. to the United Nations. Because the Burmese govt. is the Burmese military. They basically couldn't give a flying fuck what anyone thinks and they make no accommodations for western value judgements concerning trivialities such as human rights, rule of law, corruption, nepotism, slave labor, land expropriation…
rockderk,you have hit the nail right on the head.As far as I'm concerned there is no 'Burmese Govt'but a despotic 'Burmese Regime',illegal and unloved by everyone except themselves.Thein Sein is the same old wine in a new bottle.This regime will never give up power since they have the wealth of the country at their fingertips.We in the civilised world are very gullible when we hear words like 'Democracy'coming from thugs and thieves and jump on the bandwagon.Democracy is like evolution,it takes time and effort and of course honesty to develop it.I'd like to think of Winston Churchill,when asked he said Democrcy is not perfect but it's the best we have.The 'Tatmadaw' takes credit of liberating Burma from the British,(next they'll be claiming they won WWII singlehandidly). A lot of nations saw their chance when the colonial powers were weakened by the Axis powers to fight for their freedom Gen.Giap,S.C.Bose and many others.But they did not go on to destroy their country like the 'Tatmadaw' didand are still doing.I hope the Burmese people wise up and end the tyranny just like in Rumania,Libya and other places.

Jul 30, 2010 1:54PM PST
I think this game is largelly misundestood. First, let go all you expectations based on the series, then embrace the deep universe and immersion the game has to offer. The game should get a prize for such quality writting. Its amazing how much they left for the player to discover over multiple replays (what makes the game Not-short) Its like a mystery novel that DONT tell the ending; youll have to figure it out. I believe it is the best Silent Hill game ever made, and if thats not enough; its an well polished, original, deep game, a true experience.
the title says a lot, you have to put the pieces together
I would give this game an A

The plot of the new Jack Lemmon-Sissy Spacek thriller Missing is at issue. As Hollywood tells the story, Manhattan executive Edmund Horman (portrayed by Lemmon) flies to a South American country resembling Chile to find his son, Charles, who has disappeared during a right-wing military coup. Charles is a free-lance journalist with leftist sympathies. The father is stymied at every turn in his search. He looks for clues in prison camps, police stations, government offices, but everywhere he meets with uncooperative government officials, an insensitive American Embassy and overwhelming contempt. Finally Edmund Horman and his daughter-in-law, played by Spacek, are brusquely informed that Charles' fingerprints match those of a bullet-riddled corpse that had been buried in the national cemetery.
Missing opens with the statement, "This film is based on a true story. The incidents and facts are documented." The State Department disputes those claims. The movie strongly implies that with the consent of American officials, Charles, 31, was arrested by Chilean police during the 1973 coup that toppled the Marxist government of Salvador Allende. The film also creates the impression that the U.S. government masterminded the coup and had Horman liquidated because he had uncovered proof of American involvement.
The State Department issued a detailed, three-page rebuttal. Meanwhile the man who served as U.S. Ambassador to Chile at the time, Nathaniel Davis, is threatening a defamation suit against Universal, the studio that made the movie. "Missing makes two central points," says Davis, echoing State's position. "Both are not true. The first is that the U.S. government was an accomplice in Charles Horman's death; the second, that we organized and plotted the coup. A Senate committee spent more than a year looking into the coup, with full access to the most secret files of the CIA and the State and Defense Departments. It came up with very clear findings: The United States did not engage in coup-plotting in 1973."
The film's director, Constantin (Z, State of Siege) Costa-Gavras, who adapted the story from the 1978 book The Execution of Charles Horman: An American Sacrifice, by Thomas Hauser, insists, "I have strong convictions the death was covered up. The book had five times more accusations than my film." The real Edmund Horman, a 75-year-old retired industrial designer, says, "There is nothing in the film that wasn't based on absolute fact." Charles Horman's widow, Joyce, 37, confirms Edmund's statement that "Davis and other U.S. officials lied about Charles when I was in Santiago, and they are lying now. No Chilean would have shot an American if another American didn't cosign the kill order."
The senior Horman was once a conservative who belittled the liberal views his son developed during his education at Exeter and Harvard. The young man, who had an IQ of 192, graduated magna cum laude in 1964 with a degree in English. He had experimented once with drugs(under Timothy Leary) and had been a civil rights activist. After Harvard he dabbled in writing TV documentaries. He married Joyce, the daughter of a Minnesota supermarket owner, in 1968, and in 1972 the couple moved to Santiago. There he occupied his time writing movie scripts (one subject: the history of imperialism in Chile). According to neighbors, "military men" broke into the Horman house in a rundown district on Sept. 17, 1973 and took him to the national stadium, where he was imprisoned.
The Hormans say they have found strength in their search for the truth about Charles. For Joyce, who has started a New York computer consulting firm, it has helped ease the pain of her husband's death. Edmund believes that he has grown spiritually closer to his son by finally coming to understand Charles' political views. But Charles' mother, Elizabeth, the least assertive member of the family, continues to live with her grief. "You stand here and you don't cry or faint," she says. "But the years pass, and the hurt doesn't go away."

WHEN JEWELER Bill Glatz was murdered last Thursday in his Lawndale store, longtime resident Tom Glennon called the tragedy "the death knell" of the neighborhood.
"This is it," said Glennon, 65, a retired fire captain who has lived near the Rising Sun Avenue jewelry store since 1976 with his wife, Kate, 61. "I'm afraid of what this means. The neighborhood has changed so much."
Last weekend, when I visited the sidewalk memorial at Glatz's store, passers-by expressed similar sentiments: A "bad element" had changed the character of their neighborhood.
Anguished and heartfelt as the comments were, they begged for clarification.
After all, Glatz's murderer, escaped prisoner Kevin Turner, wasn't even from the area.

Facing Breast Cancer as a Husband and Father
Today was a typical day. Woke up, got dressed and went to work. My only concern was the upcoming weekend of fence building. (Too mad mother nature seems to have other plans!) I'm not going to lie, hiding inside from the rain sounds like a good weekend in my books.
But then, hiding in my inbox was a link to an eye opening blog post.
Written by a dad, it was his story dealing with his wife's battle with breast cancer.
It got me thinking… what the hell would I do if that was me? What if it was CleverMom? How would I handle it? How would I keep it together, for my wife, and the girls? What is a man supposed to do when he feels completely helpless?
Its a sobering thought, and something I hope I never have to experience.
I encourage you to check out Jim's post and give your wife and your kids an extra hug tonight.
So please, check out Jim's post, being a husband and father when your wife has breast cancer.

Thanks for sharing…this is very important… my daughter was born with a heart defect, and I do my best to appreciate every day. Thanks for joining Life of Dad, my man.
Its something that every father hopes they never have to go through. I have had that thought cross my mind once or twice and I always try to make it leave quickly. Its not something I want to concentrate on at all. I have a lot of compassion and feeling for those that are going through it.
