new to theaters Glassland (NR) Toni Collette steals

the show in this grim drama about a hard working son (Jack Reynor) who has to cope with his alcoholic mother. Gerard Barrett’s Irish drama is depressing, relying on Reynor (Transformers: Age of Extinction ) to capture and hold the attention of the audience, and he for the most part gets the job done.

Coming Soon Embrace The Serpent * (NR)

The noted Colombian director Ciro Guerra tells the story of the relationship between Karamakate, an Amazonian shaman and last survivor of his people, and two scientists who work together over the course of 40 years to search the Amazon for a sacred healing plant. It is a brilliant example of filmmaking at its finest.

new on DVD Rock The Kasbah Barry Levinson

and Bill Murray team up with what looked like a surefire hit, yet this film was easily the biggest bomb of the year. The story line is solid enough: washed-up music manager Richie Lanz (Bill Murray) gets dumped by his last client while touring in, of all places, Kabul. His luck changes when he meets Salima Khan (Leem Lubany), a Pashtun teenager with a beautiful voice who dreams of becoming the first female to compete on the television show. It’s not funny, but it’s not supposed to be, and perhaps that’s the problem. At any rate, it plays better at home.

presents Christian Little, “Exhibitionists.” Little’s recent body of work examines a voyeur culture preoccupied with sex, drama and the lives of others. His acrylic paintings on wood panel are intended, not to offer a representation of reality, but rather, to suggest simulations of imagined actualities. The paintings are simultaneously voyeuristic and participatory, erotic and sterile, stiff and fluid, analytic and absurd.

The exhibition will be on view through Saturday.

arieS (Mar. 20 - Apr. 20) Bravely face your shadow-self. Do not allow your ever-present shadow side to cause self-doubt or weaken your resolve. The sun’s dawning brings back warmth, light, and color and to a darkened world. Breathe in the infinite promise of a new day.

tauruS (Apr. 20 - May 21) Surround yourself with beauty and positive people. Use art, music, and creativity to remind you of the wonders and joys of life. We are enchanted and enchanting when we appreciate all of life’s miracles, big and small, and share our sense of awe and wonder with those we care about.

Gemini (May 21 - June 22) Pay attention to details. It is usually the smallest items that trip you up. Pay attention to details without becoming overly critical. Creativity enables us to artfully address life’s challenges. Breathe in the energy to create and renew your body and soul.

CanCer (June 22 - July 23) Support and protect those you care about. You are obliged to give your best efforts to support and protect your loved ones. The child you were still lives within you, and needs to play and feel secure. Breathe in the innocence of a child’s mind that sees all things as if for the first time.

leo (July 23 - Aug. 23) Love and accept yourself as a unique individual. You don’t need the acceptance of others. You only need to love and accept yourself. Our personal growth parallels the seasons and the planting of seeds, harvest, fallow times, new plantings, and new growth.

VirGo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) Use your fears as signs that guide and protect you. Seek to understand why you are afraid, and make your fears your friend. We are all made of the same energy, an ancient spiritual truth re-discovered by modern science. Breathe in the pure energy that powers

the stars.

liBra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 23) Be open to new ideas, techniques, and people. Knowing your limits and letting others help you are your greatest strengths. We are all mirrors for each other, seeing our likes and dislikes reflected back to us. Breathe in tolerance for the weaknesses you see in others and in yourself.

SCorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 22) You can weather any storm. The challenges of l i fe can seem overwhelming, but your capacity for endurance is boundless. The air that covers our wonderful planet links all beings in the cycle of breathing in and breathing out. Breathe in a higher perspective that unites you with all others.

SaGittariuS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) Blend intuition and logic to guide your decisions. Relying completely on either logic or intuition will lead to a poor solution. Whether you call it “a gut feeling,” “flying by the seat of your pants,” or having spirit guides whisper to you, there’s no denying that intuition should be a part of every decision.

CapriCorn (Dec. 21 - Jan. 20) Appreciate all that you have. Pay attention to what you have, not what you lack. Let those you appreciate know how you feel. Everything in moderation, nothing in excess; this is the way to lead a life of quality and meaning.

aQuariuS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 19) Keep going on your healing path, no matter what. Perseverance is the secret of all successful people. Healing requires patience and perseverance. Take your time to be in the moment and to experience life with a gentle purity.

piSCeS (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) Prepare for spring by detoxing your body, mind, and spirit. Try taking a new class or delving into the works of a new author to inspire you and to get your creative juices flowing. You may feel a new project stirring, getting ready to be born.

NOTE: If you were born at the end or beginning of a sign, also read the sign before or after your birthday.

today’s birthdayby Miles X. Logan

Ed Sheeran, 1991He was literally just an English kid with a dream: to be a pop star. Ed

Sheeran was so focused on his passion that he didn’t even wait until after high school. He moved to London, guitar in hand and little else, when he was 16.

He would play his original songs almost anywhere -- in small clubs, at bus stops, on the street if need be. He put together enough money to put out on EP album of his music.

His songs attracted the attention of Elton John, who has spent much of the later part of his career mentoring younger artists.

Around that time Sheeran wrote “The A Team” about a young woman hopelessly addicted to crack. It became the first single from his debut album with Asylum records.

What happened afterwards astonished the music industry. Word starting coming from Austria and Germany -- the record was streaking to the top of the charts. Then Japan, Israel, New Zealand, and Norway.

“The A Team” didn’t catch on the United States until late 2012 but in time to earn a Grammy nomination for Song Of The Year.

Sheeran’s second album x generated several more hit records including “Thinking Out Loud.”

To say Sheeran is a prolific songwriter would be an understatement. He wrote 120 songs for his second album. Many of those that didn’t make the cut found there way to other performers. He wrote “Everything has Changed” for Taylor Swift, “Moments” for New Direction, and “I See Fire” for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug soundtrack.

Sheeran is living his dream, performing in sold-out concerts in the most famous venues all over the world and continuing to churn out hit records.

ingredients (serves 4)4 medium sized snapper fillets (skin on

and scored)2 dried ancho chiles (stemmed and

seeded)2 dried chipotles (stemmed and seeded)

1 tbsp soy sauce1 tbsp Worcestershire2 tbsp tomato paste

2 tbsp lime juice1 tsp ground cumin

2 cups of water1 bunch of asparagus (shaved thin on

a mandolin lengthwise)5 large portobello caps (stemmed)

Chili Rubbed Red Snapper Roasted Mushroom & White Bean Purée

1/2 cup whole milk2 cups chicken stock

1/2 c dried cannelloni beans (soaked for 2 hours)

3 tbsp olive oil1 tbsp chopped parsley1 tbsp chopped oregano1 tbsp chopped thyme

1 bay leaf2 cloves of

chopped garlicSalt and pepper to taste

methodAfter the beans have soaked for

two hours, drain them and place them in a small sauce pot with the chicken stock and the bay leaf. Cook over medium low heat for two hours or until beans are tender and fully cooked.

Place the dried chiles in a bowl with the two cups of water and microwave on high for two minutes. Allow the chiles to steep in that hot water for another 10 minutes.

In a food processor add the lime juice, cumin, tomato paste, soy sauce and Worcestershire and pulse the chiles and other ingredients until a paste is created.

Rub the flesh of the snapper with the chile paste and allow that to sit and permeate the meat while you finish the rest of the meal.

Roast the portobellos in a 425 degree oven for six minutes. When the beans are finished and the mushrooms are roasted, drain the beans and purée them in the food processor with the olive oil, mushrooms, garlic, milk and herbs. Add salt and pepper to

taste. Heat your grill on high until it's

very hot. Rub the area you will be using with an oiled rag. Place the fish skin-side down onto the grill. After four minutes, turn it over to the flesh side for another two minutes or until the fish is cooked through and has a nice char on the flesh.

Serve with the asparagus ribbons and the bean and mushroom purée. Enjoy!
