CIVA's 35th Anniversary Auction begins October 30. Buy some art, and support the work of CIVA! Highlights this year are diverse in media and sensibility, often provoking thought as much as moving the spirit. Let me introduce you to a few of my favorites:
David McCoy's 'two matched canvases', Two Asses and The Power Called Great, each call to mind a character that sought to manipulate spiritual power for financial gain: From the Old Testament, Balaam (Numbers 22-23), and from the New Testament, Simon the sorcerer (Acts 8:9-24). In a grid format of around a hundred panes, photos of landscape, cities, and people combine with images drawn from art history, flora and fauna of the natural world, etc., to convey aspects of each story or associations of similar import from various cultures throughout history. In Two Asses, the brightest red is that of parrots—'talking' creatures that signal the startling verbal reproach of Balaam's donkey. Two Asses implies that Balaam's donkey is not the only ass, but that Balaam in his stubborn foolishness could also be so designated. The Power Called Great has eleven panes of U.S. dollars, volumes representing books of magic, many illustrations for instruction in magic, chemists' vials and beakers, as well as a printed drawing (third pane from the top, at far right) based on a catacomb painting of the raising of Lazarus. A 'magic wand,' that sometimes appears in early Christian art to indicate that Jesus is performing a miracle, is present here, with Jesus cut out of the picture. Simon the sorcerer likewise wanted power for miracles more than he wanted the Power of God behind them.
"Wailing Wall: Song for Quin" by Steve Prince: The stark contrasts of this visually arresting black-and-white cut block print (24" x 36") reverberate as a cry for justice raised by seven figures, while angels fly between armed guard towers of a prison. With eyes closed, the figures march and angels fly: Ghostly spirits emerge as prayers from the marchers' throats, mouth, heart, hands, and even the core (note the skirt of the second person from the right). About half the figures (and an angel) bear hair and features of African ethnicity. The parallel-cutting techniques, especially in the three large figures at left, draw on two divergent traditions: As in European Renaissance drawing, parallel curved lines indicate the roundness of a thigh. In contrast, straight-line central-west-African parallel striation, as has been used to decorate masks and figures that are carved of wood and sometimes clad in bronze, is also used in Prince's Wailing Wall. Parallel striation, well-suited to a cut block print, is found in Bakongo, Baoule and Yoruba art, as well as in western art derived from African masks, such as the 1907 painting by Picasso of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. Prince's figures, with both African and European roots, plead for "a reformation of our penal system. Like Joshua's army marching around the mighty walls of Jericho, they proclaim with a mighty yell to affect the foundation of this system to bring about renewal."
A dramatic explosion emerges from a minimalist central shape in Roger Feldman's Elegant Position (charcoal on paper, 22" x 30"). That central shape suggested two options to this writer: A pulpit or a Roman chariot—at the moment of a spectacular crash. Given Feldman's description of the theme as a pulpit, and the fact that by far the greatest explosive impact is shown emanating out the back of that form, this work implies that the overwhelming impact of the message is most deeply felt by the preacher himself. The title 'Elegant Position' ironically belies the impact of the Word on the messenger.
Wayne Adams' Shroud (3) starts from a portion from the Shroud of Turin—a fabric length that some think is a burial shroud which retains an impression of the face and body of the slain Jesus. Adams borrows a contemporary visual idiom—halftone used for black-and-white newspaper photos—and paints that face in enlarged halftone format. This jars the viewer by presenting the violent death of Jesus as news for today.
Donald Furst's shadowy mezzotint, Within, Without, presents two doors: one closed, one slightly ajar. Lightbeams entering near the upper corner form the lower center and arms of a nearly horizontal cross, streaming upward and leading to more light. Hidden sources illuminate the floor behind the door, indicating that both upper and lower realms behind this door from which light beacons invite reflection.
In Bruce Herman's work, Lichen Traces, cool color harmonies drawn from a palette of coastal New England landscape unify exquisitely drawn varieties of lichen. Thick and thinner bands of solid color, as well as bands of abstract expressionist art, run vertically to introduce breaks and pauses between the lichen, while the thinnest bands of color run horizontally or diagonally to unify these varieties of lichen. The piece functions as "a sign that mediates the presence of the Creator."[1] Would that Lichen Traces were scaled to architectural proportions![2] Imagine the impact of walking from right to left and encountering that explosive lichen.
"Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he has given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, 'This is my body…' Luke 22:19": This watercolor by Kirsten Malcolm Berry resembles a design for a Mediterranean round tabletop executed in mosaic, with supplementary 'mosaic' spandrels filling the corners of the square in which the circle resides. The implied tabletop evokes a mealtime. Rings of colored bits which look like mosaic pieces alternate with irregular solid rings to form the circular central zone, while twelve segments of the outer rings appear to be broken off from the round core. These elements are encircled by the Greek words "καὶ λαβὼν ἄρτον εὐχαριστήσας ἔκλασεν καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς λέγων Τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ σῶμά μου" translated in the title. Broken 'mosaic', twelve segments broken from the round core, breaking of bread by Jesus with his 12 disciples at the Last Supper (cited in the inscription from the Gospel of Luke—all allude to the brokenness of Christ's body at the crucifixion. In a roughly geometric design, Berry captures a story of redemption.
Rothko Red by Nikora Gangi is realist in approach and simple in appearance, yet it invites extended contemplation. Three quail eggs in a row are lit so closely from an unseen source above the center that the respective shadows cast each fall in a different direction. Why three? Why so formally arranged? Why quail eggs? Why Rothko Red? What is the source of the light in the shadows beneath the eggs? The quail eggs could be emblems of beginnings, nature, or hints of promised sustenance (such as that of the Israelites' desert wanderings). The vivid red ground (the subject of the title) contrasts sharply with the quail eggs, raising questions about the relation between human culture (e.g.—makers of red fabric, canvas or paper) and the contribution of nature. Or, if a linear arrangement of three eggs implies human intervention, may the picture be read symbolically? If so, do three speckled eggs suggest a Creator that is himself a Trinity? What then may be intended by the red? Rothko's reds usually hover in a two-dimensional plane, but these three-dimensional eggs occupy space and cast shadows—affirming their natural materiality in a context where materiality plays with immateriality.
Sandra Bowden's title And On Earth, and her artwork—a striped globe—evoke the making of our planet. A silver layer draws the viewer's interest. As strata within the silvery layer accrue, markings to the lower right, which approximate Hebrew lettering, become more irregular as the eye of the beholder moves left. The letters evoke the spoken Word of God in creation, which forms the foundations of the earth. Bowden's statement recalls Psalm 113:
" . . . The One who sits enthroned on high,
. . . stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth" (vv. 5b-6, NIV).
In Sweet Sorrow by DaNeal Eberly (acrylic, 16"x20"), a woman's compelling gaze directly engages the viewer. Her hairline forms the upper part of a heart contour and is echoed in the brow line, while a V-shape, akin to the lower part of a heart, forms the lower face and chin, mirrored in the center of the clavicle and shadows at the base of the neck. Watery tears may emerge from the eye at left. Are the streaks of red at the right side of the right eye and forehead blood, or simply part of the painterly qualities of the portrait? Is that a red cross atop her head? The viewer's eyes are compelled by the summary execution of all but the face to keep returning to that striking countenance.
I am eager to welcome you to the auction. Bid on one or a few of your favorites. Enjoy your chance to build your own collection.
Linda Møskeland Fuchs is an art historian focusing on resurrection themes in early Christian sculpture. Some have said that scenes openly showing Jesus crucified or resurrected do not appear as early as the third or fourth centuries, but Fuchs explains how an unusual scene presents a conflation of Jesus' first post-resurrection appearances to women and to men on the Vatican Jonah sarcophagus. Fuchs' essay, "Iconographic Structure: Recognizing the Resurrected Jesus on the Vatican Jonah Sarcophagus" is in a new book edited by leaders of the Association of Scholars of Christianity in the History of Art, James Romaine and Linda Stratford, ReVisioning: Critical Methods of Seeing Christianity in the History of Art (Eugene, Oregon: Cascade, 2014), pp. 44-70, 168-69.

Can you tell us more about the load - what exactly is it, and what are you trying to achieve by using a SS relay as opposed to a mechanical one?
[They are good, but they have their inherent limitations, such as the one you are faced with].
I have a SS relay purchased from Jaycar which is controlled by 12V DC switching 240V AC.
On the output side it has a small 5mA forward current as most SS relays do, but the trouble is that this is enough to keep the load on even when I turn the power to the relay off.
I tried attaching bypass resistors of various sizes (100k, 47k, even 10k) to the mains terminals but that did not help.
I found that the relay turns off reliably if I attach a lamp in parallel with the load.
Although this works I don't like this solution because the lamp draws too much power and also because the lamp is likely to burn out eventually.
I suppose I could go with some low wattage lamp but then I would need something like an opto-coupler or another relay to provide a feedback.
Otherwise if the lamp fails I will not know that the load is still on when I turn the relay off.
Does anyone know of a better solution?
Thank you very much.
Can you tell us more about the load - what exactly is it, and what are you trying to achieve by using a SS relay as opposed to a mechanical one?
[They are good, but they have their inherent limitations, such as the one you are faced with].
Well, the load is a small charger, so I guess the small current is enough to keep it on in some circumstances.
Why did I use the SS relay? Because I had one spare basically
I also thought that it would be much safer if I wanted to control it using an AVR or USB in the future.
Ok, one thing you could try is a snubber network across the output terminals.
This helps the triac switch off at zero-crossing by limiting the dv/dt voltage rise.
A 220 ohm 1 watt resistor in series with a 0.1uF cap rated to 400 volts AC should do the trick.
The values of the components depend a lot on the characteristics of the triac, but those should be a good place to start.
Thank you for the suggestions.
I have tried adding the cap and a few different values of resistors but the darned thing still won't switch off.
Reading the spec for the relay it mentions a built in internal snubber so maybe that is why it made no difference?
I guess it is back to a mechanical relay. Oh well...
Maybe a re-hash is possible? You mention that the relay controls a charger. What voltage is the charger putting out? Low, I would presume.
If that is the case, can you axe off the transfomer (or switch mode unit) and simply get your low voltage switching signal to switch a low voltage charging system?

The house next door to ours has ropes tied across its rusting tin roof that lead to stakes in the ground. Hurricane season wont be here for another four months or so, but judging from the green algae growing on those ropes, theyve weathered at least two seasons already. From our living-room window we can see a skinny black pig, one leg tied to a palm tree, gnawing the meat out of some cracked coconut shells. A couple of yards from the pig, a wild dog frantically digs in the dirt, his legs grotesquely short compared to the length of his torso. Sweet-smelling smoke from a pile of smoldering palm fronds drifts through our louvered windows, while a pickup truck carrying two young children in the back kicks up gravel as it races past our house. It drives across our neighbors grassy front lawn, nearly tossing the kids overboard as it suddenly brakes underneath the houses anchoring ropes.
The four of us including our 5-year-old and 3-month-old daughters are now 10 days into our new life on the island of Rarotonga, a 26-square-mile speck of green mountains and white sand poking out of the Pacific Ocean in the approximate middle of nowhere. Sometimes, when we observe our 5-year-old, Sarina, chasing roosters around the yard and playing with her pet hermit crabs, we dont need to remind ourselves why we sold our cute little house in Studio City and pulled up our roots in Los Angeles. Other times, such as when were scratching our mosquito-ravaged ankles or getting chased down a dirt road by one of the packs of wild dogs that roam the island, its not so easy.
The short answer is that we came to Rarotonga, a tropical island one-fifth the size of Kauai, to escape our overscheduled Los Angeles existence. And in some ways, the island has already delivered on its promise: Memories of L.A.s bumper-to-bumper traffic, acrylic nails, DSL, and prepackaged diversions for kids are beginning to lose their edge. Its hard to believe that two weeks ago we were ordering delivery from our favorite Indian restaurant on Ventura Boulevard, sitting through Lizzie McGuire with Sarina and her friends, and downloading OS X updates onto our iBooks using Starbucks Wi-Fi connection. That all seems like another lifetime ago, and yet our year in the South Pacific has just begun. What well do after that depends on what happens in the next 12 months. Could we live here forever? Its too early to tell.
Here in Rarotonga, which is part of the Cook Islands and almost 2,000 miles from any continent, life moves at its own pace the 9,500 locals call it Raro time. Waiting for the bill in a restaurant can take over half an hour. Waiting for a plumber or locksmith can take up to three months. When we tell our new landlord that wed like to move into her house, she slowly gets up from the garden shes tending to and asks us what day it is. Then she asks which month.
Rarotongas climate is like Hawaiis, only seasonally opposite, since its south of the equator. Its culture, however, is not polished and modern like Hawaiis, but still very much old Polynesian. Everywhere you look, wooden statues of the naked, extremely well-endowed god of fertility, Tangaroa, stare back at you (much to Sarinas delight). Hes even found on their flower-shaped one-dollar coins.
Rarotongan dancing, which features rapid hip gyrations and erotic moves, is considered to be the best in the South Pacific, and was described as positively obscene by a 19th-century missionary who had grown accustomed to the more languid Hawaiian hula. Hungry locals sometimes step into the crystal lagoon to pluck a fat gray sea cucumber from the sandy bottom, squeeze out its spaghettilike guts for a snack and toss the remains back into the surf. (The sea slug soon grows back its edible innards.)
We decided to move to Rarotonga on New Years Day. Wed hired a babysitter for the afternoon and went to Aroma Café in Studio City to engage in our yearly tradition of setting goals for the year ahead. While we sat at a small iron table on the brick patio drinking strong coffee and eating egg-salad sandwiches, we recorded our goals on a pad of paper. But the ideas just werent flowing, at least not any new ones. We both felt like we were in a rut, and with a new baby due in a few months, we knew that rut was sure to become deeper. How could this year possibly be any different from the year before, or the year before that? Mark would continue to pitch article ideas to magazines and send his illustration portfolio around, trying to pick up assignments in this depressed freelance market. Carla would try to squeeze in as much writing as possible while being a full-time mom to Sarina and the new baby. Last year, we had each written a book that was bought by a publisher, and if we were lucky, we each might get another book contract this year.

ABILENE — Tyson Mauser hadnt seen a pitch against Monterey reliever Shea Nixon when he stepped in Friday night with two outs and a runner on second in the sixth inning of a tie game.Mausers initial reaction was to be expected after he dipped his right side on the first pitch of the at-bat, popping up a ball high along the first-base line. I was mad at myself as soon as I swung, Mauser said. Then I saw it just kind of kept creeping away from people.The ball crept out of the grasp of three converging Monterey fielders and fell in for an RBI double that put Aledo ahead and on its way to state in a 5-4 victory in Game 2 of the best-of-three Class 4A Region I final series at Hardin-Simmons University. With the victory, Aledo (32-6) earned a trip to next weeks UIL State Tournament in Round Rock. The Bearcats beat Monterey 6-2 in Game 1 Thursday night. Aledo took a harder route to Fridays victory. Starter Taco Anderson cruised through the first two innings before issuing a one-out walk in the third. Monterey (32-11) then added another runner after a potential inning-ending double play was botched. Another walk, another error, a catchers interference and a two-run single by Branson Hall put Monterey up 4-0. But Aledo came back in the fourth with consecutive doubles from Dakota Durant and Connor Duer. Luke Glover then singled to drive in a run and cut the deficit to 4-2. In the fifth, the Bearcats scored two runs one on a wild pitch and one on an RBI single by Duer. And while the offense was rallying, Anderson (7-2) settled down and retired the side in order the next three innings. Shane Mosiello relieved Anderson with one out in the seventh and earned the save.

Abstract. Atmospheric cooling from the effect of anthropogenic carbonaceous aerosol particles on the reflectivity of sunlight by water clouds remains an uncertainty for climate prediction. Airborne measurements of aerosol and cloud properties as well as light extinction were made below, in and above stratocumulus over the Northwest Atlantic Ocean on consecutive days. On the first day, the history of the below-cloud fine particle aerosol was marine and the fine particle sulphate and organic carbon mass concentrations measured at cloud base were 2.4 μg m−3 and 0.9 μg m−3, respectively. On the second day, the below-cloud aerosol was continentally influenced and the fine particle sulphate and organic carbon mass concentrations were 2.3 μg m−3 and 2.6 μg m−3, respectively. Correspondingly, the number concentrations of aerosol particles below cloud were approximately a factor of two higher on the second day, while the below-cloud size distributions were similar on both days. The cloud droplet number concentrations (CDNC) on the second day were approximately three times higher than the CDNC measured on the first day, and the vertically integrated cloud light extinction measurements indicate a 6% increase in the cloud albedo principally due to the increase in the carbonaceous components on the second day. Locally, this albedo increase translates to a daytime radiative cooling of ~12 W m−2. This result provides observational evidence that the role of anthropogenic carbonaceous components in the cloud albedo effect can be much larger than that of anthropogenic sulphate, as some global simulations have indicated.

Although the Grant County Lady Braves suffered a loss to Oldham County recently, the school and students gained the respect and admiration from the visiting team's coach for their actions that night.
The lesson didn't come on the basketball court, but from the sidelines when Addison Ballard, the Oldham County girl's basketball team manager, began shooting hoops, his true first love, during half time.
The Grant County Youth Wrestling is in its second season and was originally started by Curt and Sandy Messerly. The team recently competed at the Kentucky State Tournament in Lexinton. There were over 40 teams from across Kentucky. The Braves Youth Wrestling placed second place overall.
By winning the District 32 championship for the first time in more than a decade, the 2014 Grant County Braves raised the bar for future teams. And that's fine with Coach Brandon Grammer, who believes what the Braves accomplished this season is only the beginning of what the program is capable of.
After pulling off a miracle comeback to win the district championship game, the Grant County Braves found themselves in a similar situation in first round action of the Region 8 Tournament on March 6.
But this time Lady Luck failed the Braves, in their 65-57 loss to Collins High School at Henry County High School.
Winners of nine of their last 12 games, including five straight, the Grant County Braves enter Region 8 Tournament play with momentum on their side. And they'll need it with Collins High School waiting for them in opening round action, which is set to tip off tonight at Henry County High School.
The wait is nearly over for the much anticipated groundbreaking for the Ark Encounter project coming to Williamstown.
Ken Ham, president and CEO of Answers in Genesis, announced during a Feb. 27 live web conference that enough money had been raised for the Ark Encounter bond offering to allow the release of the funds to start construction of the Ark.
While they didn't bring home the gold, the Grant County High School wrestling team was well represented at the state championship meet held two weeks ago at the All Tech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.
Seniors Brady Fryman, Austin Gripshover and Joey Roundtree put together impressive displays at the state meet. Fryman won his first match before being defeated, while Gripshover and Roundtree more than held their own before falling.
In the end, the competition was just too experienced for the Braves, who are only in their fourth year of existence.
Logan Cummins saved the best for last.
After more than a decade spent filling the role of district runner up on a regular basis, including each of the last two years, the Grant County Braves know all too well the feeling that goes with watching the opposition cut down the nets at their expense.

(MSNBC.com) A Philadelphia man was fatally shot Monday night just hours after a judge upheld felony charges against his ex-girlfriend, who was accused of offering $1,000 on Facebook for someone to kill him.
But with the teenager who allegedly took the bait already in custody, investigators said Tuesday they aren't sure why the man was killed.
Corey White, 22, was shot once in the chest Monday night on a street in West Philadelphia, authorities said. Investigators said White got into an argument with the occupants of a car and a man got out of the vehicle and shot him.

Knowledge of probability, statistics and finite math was also required to explain many of the concepts in these courses.
In high school, my best subjects were Geography, Civics and American History, and I have maintained an interest in those subjects through outside reading. These interests carried through to college, where I was an Economics and Political Science double major.
Since I received a well-rounded liberal arts education, I can also instruct students in basic skills: reading, writing, math, spelling, vocabulary, grammar, science and social studies.
I subscribe to the WyzAnt good fit guarantee. You are not charged for a completed tutoring session unless there is a good fit.
I have taught accounting to insurance professionals as part of the Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter designation program and have achieved Outstanding Instructor status. Additionally, I have an MBA in Accounting and Finance, and I am currently in the process of taking more accounting courses in preparation for taking the CPA test.
I have taken Algebra courses in high school, college, and as part of an MBA program. I believe that I am well qualified to teach Algebra. I also scored 100% on the test I had to take to qualify to teach Algebra.
I have always been interested in American History, especially history involving Presidents and Presidential Elections, and how political parties developed and evolved over time. My library includes the Almanac of American History, A Patriot's Guide to American History, and several CDs involving the Civil War and the Revolutionary War. I have visited many historical locations such as Gettysburg, Colonial Williamburg, Mt. Vernon and Washington DC.
I have an MBA in Accounting and Finance. In that program, I have taken a variety of business courses in Insurance, Finance, Marketing, International Economics, Business Taxes, Finite Math, and Statistics.
I have always been interested in current events and political issues, which invariably involve economics. I majored in Economics along with Political Science at the University of Illinois. I have also taught the Economics course required for the Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter designation before the curriculum was reorganized and that course was eliminated.
I scored very high on math aptitude tests in grade school. I was drilled constantly on multiplication tables in the 5th grade all the way up to 20. I am familiar with mathematical concepts up to the algebra level.
My best subject in school was geography, especially the part involving our existence in the physical world in relation to weather, climate, landforms and geology. My best science subject in high school was biology.
I am very good at all subjects which encompass the understanding of English: grammar, punctuation, spelling, writing, subject and verb agreement and the correct use of words within context.
I took rhetoric and speech courses in college.
I also scored 100% on the certification test.
I was always very interested in the development of the major countries in Europe, and how their differences in religion, ethnicity, and style of government resulted in bloody wars. I was good at remembering dates and events in World History, which when I was in high school mainly involved European History.
I have completed my MBA in Finance from Loyola University of Chicago. I have also been a course instructor for a financially-oriented insurance course that explains general financial concepts as well as those that are used in the insurance industry to determine a carrier's ability to write more insurance.
I am also familiar with financial concepts such as capital budgeting and financial forecasting and planning.
Geography was my best subject in grade school and high school. I have always been interested in maps and the various countries that make up the planet. My interest also involves climate and how the various landforms and ocean currents influence climate around the world. I am the owner of numerous atlases and geographic reference books. I am able to identify the capital cities of most countries and where major cities are located around the world.
I have been following government and politics since I was 14 (1968). One of my majors in college was Political Science, specializing in American Government and Politics, including political parties, legislatures and legislation, government regulation of business and public finance and taxation. I have voted every two years since 1972, the first time I was eligible. I have also worked on political campaigns.
Grammar was one of my best subjects in school. I always did well on tests involving the correct usage of words in sentences, the use of punctuation, etc.
I have taken classroom and self-study courses in Excel. I am most familiar with Excel 2010, including formulas and functions, pivot tables, v-lookups and h-lookups. Some new feature include spark-lines and slicers. I am sure I can help you accomplish whatever you need to do on Excel.
I have always had an aptitude for mathematics and I am not satisfied that a student understands mathematical concepts until he or she understands each step required to solve a problem.
Probability is the basis for insurance, and I have spent more than 25 years in the insurance business.
Because I am good in spelling and grammar, it follows that I would be good at proofreading.
I have taken and passed a Quickbooks course at Elgin Community College in the Fall of 2011. I have also been certified in Accounting since I started tutoring early this year.
I know how to set up a business for Quickbooks as well as how to perform accounting operations within this system.
I love to read, especially non-fiction and technical material.
I was second in my class in a spelling bee in 3rd grade. Since I read quite a bit, I retain in my mind how words are spelled. I am also good at remembering differences in spelling based on the contextual meaning of words, for example principle (guideline) or principal (main or head or a school).
I have taken statistics courses at the undergraduate level and graduate level. The Accounting and Finance courses that I have taught for the Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter designation have also included statistics.
I passed a Basic Income Tax Course at Liberty Tax Service, plus I passed an Income Tax course at Elgin Community College, scoring an A in that course.
I have always been interested not only in learning new words, but in knowing how to use them in context, in a conversation, or in writing.
World History was my best subject in High School because I took good notes and I was able to retain facts on many historical dates, places and names.
I feel that I am a good writer because I take the time to review what I have written to make sure that it is not only grammatically correct, but that it makes sense to the reader and doesn't overuse certain words. I have also received compliments on my writing by supervisors in jobs that I have had.

NY surfer who survived Sandy drowns in Puerto Rico
Monday - 12/24/2012, 7:18pm EST
By LARRY NEUMEISTER
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - A lifeguard widely praised as a hero after Superstorm Sandy for rescuing neighbors endangered by rolling floodwaters and a fire that destroyed several homes in a small community where grief has been a frequent visitor has died in a surfing accident in Puerto Rico.
The death of 23-year-old Dylan Smith on Sunday brought sadness again to residents of the Belle Harbor section of the Rockaways, which lost several police officers and firefighters in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and was the site of a deadly plane crash just months later.
As word spread that Smith, who used his surfboard to ferry so many people to safety during the late October superstorm, had lost his life, a Heroes of Rockaway Facebook page said: "R.I.P. to Dylan Smith, our Rockaway Hero, tragically died this morning surfing in Puerto Rico. He will never be forgotten."
Troy Bradwisch, who lives on the same street as the Smith family, said the presumed drowning death was "crushing" for the neighborhood.
"It was more shocking than anything," he said. "You can go through the storm and all that, and he goes on vacation to get a sense of normalcy and something like that happens."
Marguerite Wetzel, a Montauk resident who knows the Smith family from trips to Puerto Rico, could barely talk about the death.
"I have two sons, and he exemplified everything you would want your sons to be. I'm going to start tearing up," she said, her voice cracking.
Smith had lived with his parents and a 19-year-old brother when he was not at college. Fire Department of New York Chief Michael Light, a longtime friend of Smith's recently retired firefighter father, said someone who was with Smith in waters off Maria's Beach in the Puerto Rican community of Rincon notified him of the death.
"We know he died in the water while he was surfing. It's under investigation as to the cause," Light said. "I believe he was with some friends."
Smith's body was found floating near his surfboard, police said. Authorities said a resident of the Puerto Rican town, whose beaches attract surfers from across the world, spotted Smith in the water and took him to shore. They said a doctor tried to resuscitate him.
Light said Smith rescued as many as a dozen people during the superstorm by paddling from porch to porch with his surfboard, moving the helpless, including children and the elderly, from imperiled perches amid swirling floodwaters and a sky filled with flames from a gas line explosion as more than a dozen homes around him burned to the ground.
"It was totally brave and selfless," Light said.
People magazine, which named Smith one of its Heroes of the Year, credited Smith and neighbor Michael McDonnell with rescuing six people trapped by the flood and fire by connecting electric cords and twine into a makeshift rope that could be gripped as they walked the surfboard with people on it to safety at the storm's height.
The flood and fire occurred in a Queens neighborhood with an unusually high population of police officers and firefighters, which might explain why a higher proportion of residents lost their lives on Sept. 11 than just about anywhere else. Two months later, American Airlines Flight 587 smashed into a home, killing 265 people and setting off fires that destroyed the homes of those living around Smith and his family.
The Smith family home was spared again during Superstorm Sandy when fires destroyed neighbors' homes and the Harbor Light Restaurant, where Smith sometimes worked as a bartender.
Smith, who helped neighbors clean up and rebuild after the storm, had gone recently to Puerto Rico, where his family had a home in the popular beach town. Light said he could understand if Smith wanted some relief from the destruction in Belle Harbor.
"It's tough to look at," he said. "He figured rather than look out the window at the destruction here, post Sandy, all the rebuilding, he was going to take a little break and do a little surfing in Puerto Rico and get away for a while."
Associated Press writer Ben Fox in Puerto Rico contributed to this report.

I have been doing some research on what some of the so-called "experts" think about the Rams 2011 draft, and I have to admit that I'm a little surprised at what I've seen. For the most part, everything I have read has been positive. Mst of the grades I have seen hover right around the B grade, which is about where I had it, and I even saw some A's and A-'s. You have to be happy about that, whether they know what they're talking about or not. Now, it's time for me to run down my grades for the final four picks.
Round 5 – Jermale Hines (S, Ohio St.) – B+
I kind of like this pick, although I don't know how much Hines will be able to contribute to the defense immediately. Since he is a 5th rounder, he probably won't be expected to make a major impct right away, so you have to like him as a developmental prospect. He is know to be a hard-hitter and an aggressive player, but he doesn't have a ton of top-end speed and he can be a liability in coverage. Spags likes his safeties to be able to hit, so he should like Hines just fine.
Round 7 – Mikail Baker (DB/KR, Baylor) – A
My grade here isn't so much based on the fact that Baker is a great player, but it is based on the fact that I love the fact that the team took a chance on this guy. He has elite (4.3) speed, and he could contribute immediately in the return game. He has had durability concerns, but if we can keep him healthy, we might finally have an exciting, home-run threat in the return game that has been missing for over a decade. Other than Robert Quinn, this was my favorite pick in the entire draft for the Rams.
Round 7 – Jabara Williams (LB, Stephen F. Austin) – B
This is one of those picks that I really don't feel strongly about one way or the other. Williams has the tools to develop into an NFL player, but he is pretty green and will take some time to be ready. He has a nice motor and does a good job attacking from sideline-to-sideline, but I wouldn't expect to see him do much more than special teams if he makes the squad. He's worth the risk in the 7th round.
Round 7 – Jonathan Nelson (DB, Oklahoma) – B+
Nelson is a bit of an interesting case. He can play both safety and corner, and he showed flashes of being pretty solid in coverage during his time as a Sooner. He comes across to me as the kind of guy who could be under the radar, but someone would could contribute on both defense and special teams down the road. The expectations will be low as a 7th rounder, but I wouldn't be completely shocked if we

My situation was very similar. OW and her H were longtime friends who were more like family. Like you, we also spent weekends and holidays with them, and we also traveled together. Because of the selfishness of these 2 APs, there was a crap ton of destruction. Double betrayal is a particularly bitter pill.
Please take care of yourself. Prioritize your physical and emotional needs. I would heartily recommend that you seek counseling for yourself.
Continue reading and posting here on SI. This is the best place to be to heal from this particular hurt.
Everybody, soon or late, sits down to a banquet of consequences.
~Robert Louis Stevenson
Its not going to be easy; she has to pretend so much remorse while grieving the end of her affair and you have to deal with this terrible and humiliating betrayal. Generally the marriage descends into two people living together with, as Bigger put it, a giant elephant in the room.
Reconciling with your wife is going to be the hardest thing you have ever done. In the end you have to accept it happened and move on; not even remotely as easy as it sounds.
the spouse she has no desire or respect for.
Correct. Exactly correct.
That's why people have affairs. No respect. No respect for their spouse, children, extended family. Me, me, me.
When I looked at this fact, I decided that I didn't want such a person for a wife.
now she has to fake a willingness to reconcile emotionally with you; the spouse she has no desire or respect for.
she has to pretend so much remorse while grieving the end of her affair
"Oh, why do my actions have consequences?" ~ Homer Simpson
"She knew my one weakness: That I'm weak!" ~ Homer Simpson
Sleepless I wish people that make broad and general negative comments about WS and the possibility of reconciliation would keep in mind that their hosts here on SI are a couple that successfully reconciled.
I wont sugar-coat it: Its going to be an extremely long and hard journey and its not up to you whether you can set off on it. Both you and your wife need to commit to reconciliation or either of you has to commit to divorce.
Wish there was a like button under SisterMilkshakes post.
My kids were nine and five at the time of disclosure. My nine year old asked me why I was not friends anymore. I told him that she was an inappropriate friend for me. They moved away thank goodness. He still asks about them. It triggers me each time. Your children are older so I am not sure what to say there. I can say the families can not be friends anymore which I know you know. Although the children need not to be friends either. Because you will not be able to heal if you need to deal with visits and drop offs. I know that is sad for your children but that is on your wife! I know that does not make it any easier.
Do you all live near by?
Same schools?
Circle of friends?
If so if you want to R can you guys move far away? Something to think about. We did have common friends and she threatened me that they will all hate me. Me what did I do?? Crazy stuff will be said I am just preparing you! The betrayed spouse even turned on me. He blamed me for others knowing and for the reason she lost friends. Yes he did!! So just be careful.
Again I am so sorry this has happened to you! Post any time when you need it. The people here are great. Read the healing library when you can.
I feel that projecting what happened in your situations is not helpful to sleepless
No one knows exactly why other WS's have their affairs and if they had any respect or not for their BS.
I think most affairs start slowly, never planned and then there it is...ongoing usually until caught. The WS never ever expects to get caught, and many times, the WS still loves and respects their BS.
Affairs are usually some inner problem of the WS and not a problem with the BS, even though a hell of a lot of blame shifting can happen when first caught.
Sleepless: I would not go out of my way to inform parents or others of what happened, but I also would not bear the burden of lying for your wife. She has to have the consequences of her actions.
Your emotions will be all over the place from depression to anger to sadness to indecision...all within minutes of each other. That is normal so don't think your out of place.
Just keep your wits about you and stay healthy. IC is a good start for your wife to figure out why and how she could have let this happen and more importantly for so long. And then be honest with herself and you.
The hardest part of "After the Affair," for me, was SLAWH's grief over losing his AP. That was a killer. It was NOT an LTA but, because of his addiction, might as well have been in the sense of how head-over-heels in love with her he thought he was. That "fog" lasted a long time with multiple breaks in the NC. I believe he's finally completely fog-free (18 months later). While there's still (and always will be?) damage from the A, our major hurdle to overcome for real R is his addiction. I find a lot of help reading the "Spouses of Sex Addicts" thread down in the "I Can Relate" forum. So I second the advice already given you to check out the "Double Betrayal" and "LTA" threads. There's also one for "Betrayed Men." Amongst those three threads, you might get some very specific advice for your situation.
Last, the children. Sigh. We try so hard to protect them. One of mine, the youngest, is oblivious. The next oldest may know (I think he read the SurvivingInfidelity tab on my computer before I realized there were "skins" to disguise it) but hasn't ever brought it up--probably because he doesn't want it to be true. I've been watching and listening to him closely. The 18-year-old found out because of her curiosity about her dad's diagnosis (and saw "After the Affair" written in his medical folder) and her general suspicions because she'd seen him texting--with lots of emoticons--a woman while sitting next to him in church. Ironic, huh? The eldest is more hardened, so wouldn't really care if she did know. She'd just shrug it off and go one with her life. But if I imagine this situation happening to me with our best friends (whose children are our children's best friends), I don't know how they could not know if those almost-family friends were suddenly gone. There's got to be some sort of explanation, IMHO. It doesn't have to be the whole truth, but it needs to hint at the severity of the challenge so they won't console themselves with hopes that you'll "kiss and make up" with the other couple. Your children may see each other at school, but never again at each others' houses or on vacations.
So, so sorry you've joined our club. This site, though, is a God-send. No matter what you choose to do or where this roller coaster takes you, the majority of the advice you get here will be sound and empathetic.

You can always tell people but you can never un-tell.
At this time, you don't know how your R with your wife will go. And if it turns out great and you and your wife rebuild your marriage, you might wish you had not told certain people, or anyone for that matter.
Thanks for the many replies, thoughts and advice.
Taking it slow as I try to figure out my new reality. Arrived home from our vacation last night. Seeing the other family boarding their flight was bitter sweet. I was much relieved to have the WH gone and out of my sight for good - but the reality that it was the final time our two families would ever be together stung. Arriving home was initially a relief but quickly turned to more pain as I realized everything had drastically changed and the future was now quite up in the air on nearly every front.
This site has been amazing.
Don't ask for too much from your WW in the early stages of reconciliation or you may get disillusioned with the whole process, get angry and hostile and things will quickly get worse. She is going to need to fake it for a while and its little use having initial high expectations of sincere remorse. There again she may surprise you.
I think its relevant to point out that initially at least your WW will struggle to recommit to her marriage; that her emotional commitment has been to your former friend the OM.
No, didn't happen to me; my WH was not emotionally connected to the OW
eta: Yes, you would think it should be obvious that it is just opinion, but when worded as you do, it isn't obvious that it is an opinion. It can be misunderstood, especially by newbies who haven't dealt with any of this before.

Just like your story, they were our closest friends. Sometimes I think I mourn the loss of my BF more that the loss of my M.
My DDay was January 11st and my D will be final on April 21st at 10 AM.
If you read through my posts you will see I had a really hard time dealing with everything at first and did not know who to tell. Whole damn town knows now. I did not leak it but once it got out I figured I was not going to cover for them.
You might find comfort in reading through my posts as we were both married for a long time, have kids and betrayed by friends. http://www.survivinginfidelity.com/forums.asp?tid=519182&HL=42022
Best of luck to you! Try to eat, sleep and drink lots of water. Feel free to IM me if you want.

^^^Disagree with this statement.
I personally think that you need to take a shock and awe stance. No tip-toeing around infidelity and the absolute truth. You've been played, time to end this game.
It may take you awhile to get the entire truth, and even though you are probably in shock and feel like buckling at the knees, you must be firm in your requirements for reconciliation if that is the path you choose. There is no easy button, this sh*t is probably going to be one of the hardest trials of your life.
Please scroll down in this forum and find SerJr's Tactical Primer and Before You Say Reconcile. Both have a target icon on the left-hand side.
For now you need to take care of yourself as best as you can. IC, sleep, meet with your doctor for some temporary meds if you begin to have trouble coping.
Keep in mind that cheaters lie and will lie even when provided with indisputable proof. I suggest once you begin to feel the air settling, your wife provides you with an accurate timeline.
Also be aware that there is a difference between regret and remorse. Watch her actions, her words are meaningless.
You will need to talk to a marital counsellor, you will not be able to deal with something as traumatic as this by yourself. Like you, when I found out, I did not feel anything, no anger, nothing. Anger however will come, in my case it came 2 weeks after I found out. You will feel betrayed and your world will go upside down,
I did not say anything to my family or her family but I said what happened to my best friend only (he went through a nasty divorce 2 years ago). It is important I think that beside the marital counsellor you find someone you trust and who you can talk to when you feel bad because there will be times when you will lost and bad. Having someone who will listen to you will be of great help.
My children are much younger than yours. If I were you I would not tell your children as this is a problem between you and your wife and your key priority should be to protect them.
I would strongly advise you to read a few very good books on this topic. If you read my earlier posts, I listed the books that helped me.
Finally, please do not rush and take any decision that you would regret. You are probably now in a facts finding process. People say that as a rule of thumb one should wait around 6 months from D Day before making a decision. In my case,it took a bit longer because my wife lied to me on some key facts of her affair (to the point that I had to check what she told me with the "friend" who betrayed me).
Anyway I hope the above will help you.
I chose to tell no one as we were/are reconciling. I didn't want my children to know as I know it would damage the respect they have for their father.
Protecting your kids from the fallout of the affair is paramount.
Other than, to take care of yourself and your children. For now, your WS needs to detach from her A and it is going to be hard on you both.
If you need to vent or just find people that understand what it feels like to be so betrayed...just post here and often. Take what you can from it. Everyone's situation is different and everyone handles it in different ways. Some work and some don't. Only you know your situation and what feels right to you.
None of us know what is going on and what your WS thinks, but we can project from our own experiences. Those that do, have nothing but the best intentions to help you see some things they may have seen too late and hope that you learn from their experiences.
My only experience I would want to impart about the WS. DO NOT let her act like a victim from the OM's advances. She sounds like she was willing and wanted the A as well.
If you have any questions or doubts. Post them here and everyone will try to give you their opinions and advice based on their own experiences and what they have seen on here.

Event detail
The Berlin Documentary Forum is a program for the production and presentation of documentary works that testify to the medium's inherent tensions and paradoxes. Founded in 2010 in response to the growing importance of documentary forms in the arts, it fills a gap in the institutional landscape by creating a platform exclusively devoted to critical engagement with "the documentary" as an art form.
The third edition of the Berlin Documentary Forum focuses on the way in which narratives structure and produce social reality. Rather than the content of stories, the subject of debate is what narration, as a practice, actually does in society - in other words, the mechanism of narration.
The Berlin Documentary Forum 3 addresses the tradition of narrative realism, and presents recent works that redefine both documentary and realism.

Art at War surveys creativity under Nazi occupation, from Picasso to Dubuffet
TERRY FAIRMAN reports
In Picasso's view "to create is to resist" and on that basis he was most energetic in his pursuit of the artists' "war on the war", though just how 1500 mainly still lifes and portraits of his mistresses contributed to the war effort is not easy to quantify. Artists, too, were rarely particularly politicised. Anouilh avoided political comment whilst most adopted "le système D" and focussed on getting-by. After all, as Simone de Beauvoir put it, "il fallait bien vivre", one had to survive.
Many were far from being innocents. Sartre sought out Nazi approval for his plays. His defence that "a subtle poison corroded even our best intentions" is not persuasive. Derain, Vlaminck and van Dongen accepted invitations to visit Weimar on a propaganda tour; Cocteau attended German embassy parties and Matisse and Braque, "the artful dodgers" (Spotts) navigated an ambiguous path through the period, as did a youthful Francois Mitterand who, though not an artist, represented that dominant part of the French professional and intellectual class whose approach to the Nazi occupation made collaboration acceptable, even the norm.

Sir Alex Ferguson was disappointed United hadn't secured a win by the time Clint Dempsey struck Tottenham's late equaliser, but the boss is taking the positives from a point gained in one of the season's hardest away games.
The Reds remain five points clear of nearest rivals Manchester City in the Barclays Premier League table and a draw away at Spurs is far from disastrous. It was just the manner of it that was difficult to take.
"We had the opportunity to kill them off on the counter attack but our final ball let us down," the boss told MUTV. "We worked really hard, as did Tottenham. It was a really difficult, gruelling game but we dealt with everything they did.
"They kept pumping that ball in the box and we kept heading it out. Unfortunately we didn't get that last one that really mattered, the last kick of the game. It's not an easy place to come to. They are a very aggressive, committed team. There was a good quality to the match in terms of the commitment of both sets of players. It was a difficult game but unfortunately we didn't hold on for that extra minute."
Robin van Persie's first-half header was his 22nd goal of the season and Sir Alex was as pleased with the approach play as he was with yet another strike from his in-form front man. "It was a good build up from Danny to Tom," the boss said, "and Robin did what he has been doing all season and got another goal for us."
The Dutchman's strike looked for so long like it would settle the match, then Dempsey struck in injury time. "I thought we looked quite comfortable in that last part of the game," Sir Alex added. "I actually thought Rafael was fouled in the build-up. It was a clear foul and we didn't get it. But I didn't think we were going to get a decision from the linesman, that's for sure."
An earlier foul on Wayne Rooney inside the penalty area went undetected, of which Sir Alex opined: "It was a clear penalty and he was definitely brought down. He put his leg in and the linesman was right there facing it. I thought the linesman had a very poor game. I thought he was
