Dowd Nails It – Former Trump Attorney Outlines Insufferable Behavior of Mueller and Rosenstein in Perpetrating Political Russia Hoax…
February 12, 2019 by IWB
ABC conducted an extremely interesting interview with former Trump Attorney John Dowd that the media outlet will likely keep far away from their mainstream broadcast and print reporting.
The interview is exceptionally interesting because Dowd outlines how incredibly false all prior reporting has been surrounding the Mueller investigation and the background of the contacts and discussions between Trump's legal team, Robert Mueller and Rod Rosenstein.
Additionally, within the interview itself, when you stand back and absorb the details of what he discusses, you can clearly see why there came a point when the Trump legal team needed to shift strategies and accept that Mueller and Rosenstein had allowed the politics of the 'investigation' to shape their direction. It's quite a remarkable conversation.
The entire transcript is HERE. I would strongly suggest listening to the podcast. I'm pulling some excerpts.
Dowd immediately says he doesn't think the Mueller report will highlight anything regarding the President. The basis for this belief is what CTH has already outlined here regarding William Barr {Go Deep}.
"There's nothin' here." The idea that you would take that information and make it public, you know, violates the whole concept of the grand jury. What's the grand jury for? To protect the innocent.
Dowd is then asked about his opinion of Robert Mueller, and the approach to the investigation, who Dowd knows very well and has worked with in the past:
PHILLIPS: Do you respect what Mueller is doing? I know you know Mueller well.
DOWD: Well, I respected it in the beginning. And I started out. And I– it's my s– my style is I always trust the other side, until I didn't. In my opinion, on March 5th [2018], we were done. He had everything. He said he had everything. He told me that no one had lied. He told me they had every document we asked for. He told me that it was nothing more. He told me that the president was not a target. That is, he did not have any exposure, that he was a witness subject, which is perfectly normal for someone's conduct you're looking at, but they don't have exposure.
What people don't understand about the president, and I think the same would be w– with you, is y– you have too much information in your life. When you go back and talk about f– Flynn or Comey, those events, while magnified in the media, are nothin', not compared to the threat of the Soviet Union, the threat of the– China, dealing with Japan, dealing with Korea. I mean, the amount of information that he intakes every day, gets prepared for, is staggering. And in my questioning him or talking to him, he questioned w– you know, first question, easy. Second question, easy. Third question, he wasn't sure. And he doesn't like being unsure. So he'll guess. There's your trap, right there. It's not whether he lies or not. Everybody wants to get into this, you know– this integrity business. It's not a matter of integrity. It's overload.
Dowd clearly states that by March 5th, 2018 (ten months after Mueller started in May 2017) Robert Mueller had all the central facts about President Trump that surrounded the accusations and claims. And Mueller did not have anything to indicate President Trump had engaged in anything as claimed by the media; and told the Trump legal team exactly that.
VLASTO: But what do you think Mueller's been doing', then? That was March that you left, right, March of last year, 2018. What do you– why– what do you think has taken Mueller so long?
DOWD: I don't know. All I can tell you is what I do know. And I know a lot. Because as people have found out, we communicate on this side of the fence. Matter of fact, we've got, probably, better intelligence than they do. You know– without questioning anybody's good faith, 'cause there are some very good people over there– it– it's been– it's been a waste of time. And it's been petty. And it's been bureaucratic. And you don't need to do that. When you're dealing at this level, when you're dealing at this level, you're playing' the World Series, okay? And you don't– you don't– you don't get down with the petty stuff here.
In essence Dowd is saying that Mueller and Rosenstein decided the entire fiasco was so politically charged, so elevated by media and political drum-beating, they needed to shape the investigative paths based on political values and not simple reviews of lawfulness.
And with that inflection point; within the acceptance that this wasn't going to be a legal matter based on evidence or lack thereof; the Trump legal approach needed to shift from legal concern/defense to political concern/defense. That's why there were changes within the Trump legal team.
VLASTO: Well, you must know [William] Barr rather well, I assume–
DOWD: I– you know, I don't know, I know of him. And I left– I had left the department, when he was attorney general. But he was a great attorney general. He did a terrific job. And I am so pleased that he's gonna be back. 'Cause he knows the place from top to bottom. And he's very bright. And he's gonna– he's gonna call it right down the middle and do a good job.
PHILLIPS: That's quite the opposite from what you've said about– the leadership of the Justice Department. I mean, you have just lambasted, (LAUGH) you know, everybody else previously. So you're seeing a shift here.
DOWD: Well, look. I you know, I tried to deal with Rosenstein. Early on, we wrote a letter to Mueller, saying, "Look. Comey's the accuser in this phony investigation. We think there are other issues in– regarding his conduct, as to the origin of this whole business." Turns out, not only was I right, but Comey admitted there were no facts to investigate the president at all. There was no collusion. So—I, and then, so– Bob said he wasn't looking' at it. So I wrote to Rosenstein. He blew me off. That's not leadership. That's not accountability. This is a very serious– I mean, we were very serious. And we did it in writing. We did it politely. We did it confidentially. And he just blew us off. So I lost all respect for Rod Rosenstein. And Sessions, I don't know what he was doing. I'm not sure Sessions knows what he was doing'.
Again Dowd outlining the problem created by Rosenstein and faced by Mueller; there is nothing to investigate because there is no Russian collusion/conspiracy to begin with. Rosenstein goes silent toward the original Trump legal team because essentially Rosenstein knows he did a big stupid by opening the investigation in the first place.
Mueller and Rosenstein are/were stuck in a political conundrum, under the auspices of an investigation that was fraudulently based from the outset. Extraction from their self-created situation is only possible by exploiting a political escape route.
DOWD: […] I know what the case is. There is no case. And my job is to sorta bring that home. And we did the very best we could to bring it home. I think it is coming' home. And I think it's coming' home in the same shape. And you know, and then, you know, there are people in the press, who say, "Well, he must have s– surprise." He didn't have– I know exactly what he [Mueller] has. I know exactly what every witness said, what every document said. It's– I know exactly what he asked. And I know what– I know what– you know, what the –what the conclusion or the result is. So–
PHILLIPS: What does he have? What's the result? What's the conclusion?
DOWD: Decline [to prosecute]. There's no basis. There's no exposure. It's been a terrible waste of time.
What's worse is let's get on the other side of this, how it all happened. This is one of the greatest frauds this country's ever seen. And I'm just shocked that Bob Mueller didn't call it that way and say, "I'm being used." I would've done that. If I were in his shoes in this thing, I'd have gone to the– I'd have gone to Sessions and Rosenstein and said, "Look. This is nonsense. We are being used by a cabal in the F.B.I. to get even."
This is awful. I mean, the corruption — at the top of the F.B.I. is staggering. And that's how this all happened. And by the way, look at what the F.B.I. witnesses have said. "I know w– I know about no collusion." I mean, Comey knew nothing about collusion. So what are we doing then?
VLASTO: How do you think history will look at the Mueller investigation ten years from now, 20 years from now?
DOWD: Not well.
PHILLIPS: Robert Mueller. How will he go down in history?
DOWD: I don't know. He's gonna have to decide that.
PHILLIPS: Donald J. Trump.
DOWD: Full plate. A man with, a man with a– with a big heart who means well, but has, you know, had all kinds of challenges. But he– but he– you know, I'm in his corner. You know why I'm in his corner? 'Cause he's the boss. He governs this country.
FUBAR Summary: •Rosenstein buckled under political and media pressure to create the Mueller special counsel. •AFTER the FBI originating corruption began to surface (June/July 2017) Mueller saw the ruse and understood where the investigation would be forced to head… and asked Rosenstein for the "scope memo", in part because the investigative trail was obviously going to circle back to the FBI origination…. and that had to be avoided (politically self damaging for both Rosenstein and former FBI Director Mueller's institution). •Addtionally, the same corrupt people who created the 2016 spygate fiasco were also comrades of Mueller (FBI) and Rosenstein (DOJ). •As a direct outcome, the Mueller/Rosenstein self-preservation approach, which included the preservation of the institutions, then became the primary focus of the investigation…. which included the need for charges against someone, anyone, including Russians (they never anticipated showing up to defend themselves, ie concord) to cloud the political fiasco they were both caught up in…. which further spurred the self-fulfilling prophecyof Mueller -originally fraudulent- investigation becoming the necessary cover as described below:
♦(1) Create an investigation – Just by creating the investigation it is then used as a shield by any corrupt FBI/DOJ official who would find himself/herself under downstream congressional investigation. Former officials being deposed/questioned by IG Horowitz or Congress could then say they are unable to answer those questions due to the ongoing special counsel investigation. In this way Mueller provides cover for ideologically aligned deep state officials; and preserves institutional appearances.
♦(2) Use the investigation to keep any and all inquiry focused away from the corrupt DOJ and FBI activity that took place in 2015, 2016, 2017. Keep the media narrative looking somewhere, anywhere, other than directly at the epicenter of the issues. In this way, Mueller provides distraction and creates talking points against the Trump administration that benefit his self-preserving intent.
♦(3) Use the investigation to suck-up, absorb, any damaging investigative material that might surface as a result of tangentially related inquiry. Example: control the exposure of evidence against classified leak participants like SSCI Director of Security, James Wolfe; and/or block IG Horowitz from seeing material related to the FISA abuse scandal and "spygate". In this way Mueller provides cover for the institutions, the administrative state, and the accepted standard system within DC.
It wasn't by original intent, but rather a specific outcome of bureaucratic bullshit, that Mueller and Rosenstein ended up creating a bubble that made those objectives of the Mueller investigation become the primary consideration. And in all of these insufferable and convoluted objectives the Mueller special counsel has been stunningly effective.
That insufferable pile of crap covered in media noise is exactly why Rosenstein will exit the DOJ side-by-side with Robert Mueller.
FUBAR !!
Again, I strongly urge people to listen to the interview. It starts around 08:00 of the podcast below:
[…] … This is one of the greatest frauds this country's ever seen. And I'm just shocked that Bob Mueller didn't call it that way and say, "I'm being used." I would've done that. If I were in his shoes in this thing, I'd have gone to the– I'd have gone to Sessions and Rosenstein and said, "Look. This is nonsense. We are being used by a cabal in the F.B.I. to get even."….
But he couldn't.
Because Mueller views the FBI as an institution that is part of his personal legacy.
And the corrupt FBI cabal headed by Comey, McCabe and Baker, knew that.
That's ultimately also Mueller's "higher loyalty".

Are We Already In A Recession?
Millions Of Angry Americans Will End Up With A Smaller Or Even No Tax Refund Check This Year


A university library that was destroyed during the levee failures of Hurricane Katrina has received a $14 million restoration, 12 years after the storm.
The Leonard S. Washington Memorial Library at Southern University at New Orleans will celebrate its makeover Thursday. Floodwaters in 2005 soaked its books, periodicals and other research materials.
For years, students used a small library inside a FEMA trailer. Then the library moved to a small area of a building that has since been demolished.
The new library features modern furniture, new artsy wall coverings and $7 million worth of new books, according to a SUNO news release. It was designed by Hertz Furniture of Ramsey, New Jersey, and also has designated study areas, charging stations, a a café, a computer lab and classroom space for graduate students.
Another $11 million was spent on the building the library is housed in.

There are few things in life I love more than messy dinnertime baby photos. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I'd happily turn my entire feed into nothing but photos of my kids making a disgusting mess of themselves while they eat if I thought I could get away with it. Seriously, I could go ON and ON and ON and ON about it. So that's exactly what I'm going to do today. Words aren't really needed when you're dealing with subject matter this cute and gross, so I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Needless to say, Mim's a big fan of cherries and I'm a big fan of post-dinner time baths.
We haven't tried cherries yet - but I've got a bag in the fridge! We eat messy too. Thank goodness that Boon highchair goes in the dishwasher otherwise we'd have a huge mess on our hands!
Eek, all of these photos are amazing! Baby led weaning for the win!!!
So much adorable cuteness. I had a friend once tell me that she fed her small children in the bathtub. I was no one to judge. I've got such a picky eater now that I would go back to those messy eating days in a heartbeat.
YES! Messy baby eating photos are my fave! LOL you captured it so well, it looks like you even got a sour face or two in there! After dinner baths are our jam as well!
Mim, you are ADORABLY messy! I love it!
Her faces! She is just too adorable, Sara.
Cherries are my favourite! I love that some even reached above her eyebrow haha so cute!
Summer has to be the best time for babies who love food! We are soaking up all the strawberries, watermelons, grapes, and peaches. We haven't tried cherries yet, my boys LOVE them so I bet KC will too. Mim is the cutest - messy baby faces are the best (before we had kids they used to weird my husband out, now he thinks they are so cute).
She's so HAPPY! I love it!

Sad news, guys. Shadowhunters is canceled after three seasons. The show will wrap up with twelve more episodes and a two-hour series finale in 2019.
From The Hollywood Reporter:
"We are very proud of Shadowhunters, a series that broke new ground in the genre world and became a fan favorite," the network said Monday in a statement. "However, along with our partners at Constantin, we reached the very difficult decision not to renew the show for a fourth season. But as big supporters and fans ourselves, Freeform insisted on and championed the filming of a special two-part finale that would give devoted fans a proper ending. The 12 episodes will air in spring 2019. We want to thank our talented creators, producers, cast and crew along with our colleagues at Constantin for their hard work and dedication and to Cassie Clare for her incredible book series. We look forward to the final chapter of this breakthrough drama."
Here's what the cast and crew said about the cancellation:

I've been a fan of these books for a long while, and seeing it come to life in both movie and TV format has been incredibly amazing for me as a fan. And I wanted to say that in today's ever-changing media world, nothing is ever done. We got a lease of life after the movie. So who is to say the show won't get picked up again by another network? Or a new adaptation if it comes down to it?
And reiterating, there's still more Shadowhunters to come: the second half of season three will air in 2019.

The series has a passionate fan base and an expansive universe that can sustain multiple seasons to come."

President Donald J. Trump walks across the South Lawn of the White House and boards Marine One Friday, Oct. 2, 2020, en route to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. (Official White House Photo by Andrea Hanks)
Are masks not effective in preventing COVID-19?
October 12, 2020 diepthought COVID-19, Donald Trump, English Comments Off on Are masks not effective in preventing COVID-19?
Claim: President Donald Trump has claimed that masks are unnecessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19 as long as people receive frequent testing. Consequently, he refuses to wear masks at public events or to institute a national mask mandate.
Rating: This claim is FALSE. Public health experts, including experts in the Trump administration, state that masks are a powerful weapon to protect against COVID-19. Despite testing staffers daily for COVID-19, Trump, along with the First Lady and several top Trump advisors (all of whom do not wear masks regularly), have now contracted COVID-19. On Oct. 2, Trump was hospitalized for his illness and began receiving treatment. Currently, COVID-19 has killed over 214,000 Americans.
Throughout the pandemic, Trump has claimed that masks are unnecessary to prevent COVID-19 infections. He has refused to wear a mask in public media settings because he "didn't want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it." Although he has occasionally worn a mask, he has also strongly discouraged Americans from wearing masks, claiming that they give wearers a false sense of security.
This advice directly contradicts public health experts, including experts in the Trump administration like Center for Disease Control director Robert Redfield, who stated that cloth face coverings are one of the "most powerful weapons we have to slow and stop the spread of the virus" and that masks may offer more protection than a vaccine.
Masks both prevent an infectious person from spreading COVID-19 to others via the droplets from their nose and mouth, and it also protects healthy people from becoming seriously ill from the virus. Public health agencies and research universities, like Johns Hopkins, continue to recommend wearing masks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
As of September 2020, 127 countries have mandated the universal usage of face masks. The United States is not one of those countries, though former Vice President Joe Biden has promised that if elected president, he would listen to health experts and support a national mask mandate.
According to a Cornell University study, misinformation about COVID-19 is "serious threat to global public health," because it misleads and prevents people from following official health advice and could contribute to the spread of disease. The Cornell study analyzed 38 million English-language articles on COVID-19 and found that Trump is the "largest driver" of COVID-19 misinformation.
Trump relies on earlier recommendations by public health officials like Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious disease expert, who advised the general public not to wear masks at the start of the pandemic to prevent a mask shortage in hospitals. Although Fauci reversed his previous advice, Trump continued to cite this earlier guidance as a reason to not wear masks. When asked about whether he believed masks were effective during the first presidential debate on Sept. 29, Trump again pointed out that Dr. Fauci once recommended against masks. He also mocked Biden for wearing a mask in public.
Trump has claimed that he does not need to wear a mask because his staffers receive daily testing. But daily testing practice does not prevent COVID-19 infections, especially in the White House where it is impossible for staffers to socially distance because of cramped offices.
White House staffers use a rapid testing device, manufactured by Abbott Laboratories, that can give false negative results; a person can be infectious for several days before the virus in their body will register positive on a test. A New York University study found that the Abbott test could be misidentifying between a third and half of positive cases as negative.
On Oct. 2, Trump tested positive for COVID-19, along with First Lady Melania Trump and 33 close advisors. He was hospitalized with a fever, cough, and fatigue, and has begun several courses of experimental treatment. Currently, COVID-19 has killed over 214,000 Americans.
Conclusion: The claim that masks are not necessary to prevent COVID-19, as long as people are frequently tested, has been determined to be FALSE. Although Trump and his staffers are tested daily for COVID-19, their refusal to wear masks has likely contributed to the recent outbreak of infections that have affected Trump, the First Lady, and top advisors. Meanwhile, no one in the Biden campaign has been infected by COVID-19, arguably because of their consistent mask wearing and social distancing.

'Sports Kan' went through a lot for the past six years, and coinsidently a group that was born during the same time is Super Junior.
Recently, according to a research/poll done by TVAztec of Mexico, Super Junior was chosen as the most popular korean singers. And recently, they were chosen as the icon with the most potential by BBC of England. The popularity of these people not only from China and Taiwan but all over Asia is unexplanably 'best'. These are some of the things Super Junior was able to accomplish only 5 years into debut. This group not only broke the pattern of disbanding after 5 years, but have placed themselves as the best idol group of Asia, only 6 years into debut.
Recently, the group had their very first concert in Vietnam, which attracted not only many fans but also popular and famous celebrities of Vietnam, was the biggest in the history of Vietnamese concerts. Their album sales are also superior. Their third album, released in 2009, Sorry Sorry was chosen as 'The most poular song of Asia of 2009' by Thailand Chanel V. Also it was first on the Taiwanese biggest online music site, KKBOX chart, for 36 weeks, and was first for 34 weeks on the ezpeer+ chart. They took over many charts across Asia. The fourth album "Miinah", released last year, has been number one for 49 weeks on KKBOX. Member Siwon and Donghae were both casted as the lead roles in an upcoming popular Taiwanese drama "Extravagant Challenge".
Starting with the SMTOWN WORLD TOUR in PARIS, the group's oversea's market will expand over to Europe, along with South America. Early this year, Brazil RedeTV hosted a search/poll as which Korean singers would the Brazilian fans want in Brazil, and Super Junor was chosen as the first. Looking at other idol's popularity in forgeign countries, Super Junior is truly 'Korean Wave's Center'.
Especially, the reason behind their significance in Taiwan is because they have members who can speak and sing in Chinese fluently. Also, the songs with addictive beats and strong tempos with easy dance add up to their great popularity.
Looking at their accomplishments outside of Korea, it seems like they haven't been doing much in Korea. But that is not so. The third album, released in 2009, sold 250,000 copies, won Gold Disk and became 'Album Sales King' and their fourth album has sold the most as well.
Even though there were changes to the number of members, as they debuted for 5 years, and the members shrunk from 13 to 10, they are still the biggest group in Korea. During their debut, the number of the members was a shocking thing, but it worked as not a good thing. Because there were so many, it was hard to let the audience know all the members, and there were some instablity to the form. But, they formed unit groups to change that, and changed the face of the singing industry. 'Separately or Together' the unit groups were able to form project groups to significantly show each member's strong points. Together they would show strong 'army like' dances and they would separate and sing a ballad. The ballad unit group, consisted of strong vocals of the group, Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, Yesung, held their own concert in Japan, and Super Junior T were the very first idols to sing trot. Super Junior Happy shows a more bright and light songs, and Super Junior M, who accomplished grand slams at Taiwan's numerous award shows. Super Junior's unit groups appealed freshness to the audiences and made them curious.
Each members have accomplished many things in many fields such as MC, acting, DJ, comedy, modelling and musicals. It is more suitable to call them 'General Entertaintment Group'. Leader Leeteuk and Heechul are chosen as the future MCs who will continue on the legacies of Kang Hodong and Yoo Jaesuk. And Idol-actor Choi Siwon has earned praises from his latest work 'Athena'.

Super Junior DON'T DON Dance Step Practice Video!
Asia's most popular group Super Junior celebrates 5th anniversary of their debut. They first appeared on November 6th 2005 through SBS Inkigayo. Since then, they have become Asia's super star through various activities. Super Junior will hold their 5th year anniversary party in Korea College, Seoul on the 6th. Let's take a look at the activities they had for the past 5 years.
Super Junior is made of multi-talented members who work in various areas as actors, MCs, DJs, gagmans, composers and models in addition to working as singers. Since the debut, they had a catch phrase 'separately and together' and performed various activities. Many were suspicious of this strategy. But now, it has become a trend.
Siwon, Heechul, Kibum and Donghae are working as actors, while Leeteuk, Eunhyuk and Shindong are working as radio DJs and are appearing various variety shows. Kyuhyun, Yesung, Sungmin and Ryeowook are actively participating in musicals and OSTs.
From drama, variety, movies, radio to public performances, the opportunities that idols see these days have increased. It has become an age where idols have to explore other areas and not just stay in one to show off their charms. And these idols will need to spend their energy in the various areas they are exploring into.
The phrase 'one source multi use' is just the right one to use on idols. Even though they debuted as singers, they don't show just the features of a singer. If the stage is not 'wide' enough for one, one move on to look at drama, movie, theatre and musicals etc, to show more of one's charms and talents one cannot show in just the short duration of 3 minutes on stage. In the midst of achieving that, these idols will need the strength of that of an 'iron man'. Even though this is a chance for the singers to up their rich and fame, without the energy to do so is also useless.
Victory Korea- Super Junior~ MV RELEASED. :D & CAPS!
Popular idol group Super Junior to reveal a World Cup Song to cheer the S.Korean team on for the upcoming World Cup. Super Junior members Lee Teuk, ShinDong, EunHyuk, YeSung and SungMin will come together for a World Cup song 'Victory Korea' and a teaser video to the song has been revealed. Instead of the usual cheer of '대한민국 (DaeHanMinGook)', they will use the cheer of '우리민족(Our Nation/WooRiMinJok)' in the World Cup cheer song. The song is an electronic dance song with dynamic electric sounds. According to an official of Irocks Entertainment (아이록스 엔터테인먼트), the company which produced this world cup song, the song will be released as an album together with the official screening of movie 'Dreams Come True' on 27th May. Meanwhile, the full song will be revealed on 20th May online, and will be available offline from early June.

Titanium Rings Buyers Guide
WHAT IS TITANIUM RING?
Since its discovery in 1791, titanium, the metal which was given the name of a Greek mythological figure, has been widely used in diverse industries such as jewelry manufacturing and aircraft manufacturing. Titanium, the 22nd element in the periodic table, has gained a reputation for its high resistance to corrosion. Like many other metals, titanium can be mixed with other metals to produce alloy. The percentage commonly adopted in manufacturing titanium jewelry is 90% titanium mixed with 10% vanadium and aluminum, which is altered according to need.
The pure metal titanium is grayish white. Its surface can be converted into different colors while being anodized. After being polished, the metal takes on a special smooth look which much resembles the texture of "satin". Like other metals such as tungsten, its high resistance to corrosion enables it to retain colors and maintain its gloss. From the 20th century, titanium had been used in making jewelry, titanium wedding bands in particular. In addition to its excellent qualities, which are already mentioned above, what makes it so popular in the market is its affordable price.
PROS OF TITANIUM RINGS
Titanium is much stronger than many other metals. Because of its strength, a titanium ring lasts much longer than rings made from traditional metals such as gold and silver. Besides, titanium and its alloys are highly resistant to corrosions by chemicals which people are likely to contact in their daily lives. Unlike tungsten carbide ring which is highly resistant to scratches, titanium ring is relatively susceptible to scratches and tends to bend and deform while being put under high pressure.
Titanium wedding bands are hypoallergenic. Those who are allergic to metals such as nickel, would be relieved of such worries. Because firstly, the metal itself is hypoallergenic, for which it even gains the name of being the most biocompatible metal. People with the most sensitive skin would rest sure that their titanium rings are comfortable to wear. Secondly, few other substances are added in the process of producing titanium rings. Last but not least, titanium ring is very affordable for those who have allergy issues.
Light weight is one of titanium ring's admirable qualities. In fact, with a density of 4.11, it earns the name of being the lightest metal that has been used in manufacturing jewelry. It goes without say that its light weight adds to the comfortable experience of its wearer, particularly those who prefer lightweight wedding bands.
CONS OF TITANIUM RINGS
Titanium can be inlaid with different materials such as wood, other metals and ceramics. However, titanium is difficult to be forged into different shapes, for which there are limited styles of titanium available in the market. Despite this inflexibility, designers have tried hard to design titanium rings in trendy ways to fulfill the needs of customers who yearn for unique and fashionable titanium rings. Furthermore, this inflexibility also makes it difficult to resize a titanium ring, which further means that once damaged it is difficult to repair a titanium ring.
HOW TO CARE FOR TITANIUM RINGS?
Titanium rings are easy to take care of. Dishwashing liquid and glass cleaners (e.g. Windex) containing ammonia, these common household cleaners all can be used in cleaning titanium rings. If you want to revive the luster of your ring, glass cleaners are better choices. Do not scrub your ring or use cleaners with abrasive because scrubbing or cleaners containing abrasives are likely to destroy the anodized coloring.
Here are the steps you may follow:
Prepare a bowl, fill it with some warm water, add in some mild dishwashing liquid or Windex
Soak your ring in the solution for about 5 minutes, use a clean and soft towel or cloth to dry your ring
Rinse your ring with water, use a clean and soft towel to dry it (caution: air dry would let spots form on the surface of your ring)


But, before these darlings joined me, I traveled some with my parents – Mexico to Canada, and many of the fifty-nifty United States, living in Utah, Iowa, Washington, and Idaho. I studied, I worked, I volunteered eighteen months as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints abroad, in South Africa and Botswana.
Upon my return, and after I graduated from university, my sweetheart married me and soon after moved me and our meager household, consisting of one couch, one table, four folding chairs, and a portable piano, to the Big Apple. Since those newly-wed years, Bryant and I have lived in Manhattan, Roosevelt Island, and, more recently, London, England. We have traveled from Aruba to Alaska. From Iceland to Istanbul. And many places in between. And, as suggested by the title of this blog, traveled much of that distance with children in tow – E, L, J and Baby M.
Please, enjoy our travels with us – past and present.


Yes, there are Apps for That! While many human resource professionals and business owners may already know that the Department of Labor developed and issued several Smartphone applications available for free to aid in identifying workplace violations of timekeeping, health, and safety violations, the majority of small business owners may still not know these tools exist. While one app may cost employers considerable dollars in fines and penalties, the other can cost employers potential workers and customers!
The Wage and Hour Division of the Department Of Labor ("DOL") has launched two applications for Smartphones, both of which deserve the attention of small business owners. The first is a timesheet application that allows employees to track the hours they work independent of the employer timekeeping records. The "Timesheet App" then calculates the wages employees are owed for time worked. The app is available for free on iTunes in both English and Spanish.
The second application was developed in cooperation between the Wage and Hour Division and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA"). The App, titled "Eat Shop Sleep" combines enforcement data from the DOL and OSHA with popular consumer ratings websites such as Yelp and Google Maps. The combined data lists employers, such as restaurants, along with workplace safety violations, Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") violations, child labor violations, etc. and the ratings provided from customers.
The timesheet application produced by the DOL allows employees to track hours worked, break times, and overtime hours for one or more employers. The user must register the employer for whom time is recorded before the application can initiate. In other words, the DOL is requiring the app to collect data on the employer, without the permission of the employer and irrespective of proper data collection by the user. Further, the DOL has indicated that during investigations where employer timesheet credibility may be called into question, use of the employee recorded data in the app will be permitted.
The Timesheet App can also calculate simple wage and overtime estimates. In combination with timesheet data recorded by the user, the app requests wage information and will calculate the gross wages due the employee, including overtime. It should be noted here that the overtime calculations provided in the app are fairly simplistic and should not be relied upon for situations where the "regular" wage is changed due to "special pay" and a recalculation of the "regular weekly wage" is required, such as with incentive pay, shift differentials, commissions, non-discretionary bonuses, holiday pay, or tips.
The application is pre-programmed with the current minimum wage, providing a warning notice if the amount is below the Federal Minimum Wage. The app does not currently comply with State or Local Minimum Wage laws for those States where the Minimum Wage exceeds the Federal Minimum Wage. The Fair Labor Standards Act defers to State or local law in areas where State or local law is more favorable to the employee. Since the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage is currently the same rate as the Federal Minimum Wage ($7.25/hour), the app is accurate for Western Pennsylvania employers.
There are also other employee-helpful features that include a glossary of wage-and-hour terms, a definition of "time worked," materials about wage laws, links to DOL web resources and, a function that allows users to email the DOL directly.
The DOL has indicated that additional apps are forthcoming that will function for tip income, bonuses, commissions, pay deductions, holiday pay, shift differentials and paid time off. At this time, these features have not been made public and nor has the application been distributed for Android phones.
Remember, in these days of working remotely via Smartphones, laptops, home computers, and other electronic devices, employers must be vigilant and require non-exempt employees to record their time spent actually working at home, and must compensate them. Remember, the employer is suffered work performed by the employee.
The Eat Shop Sleep ("ESS") application, developed jointly by the Wage and Hour Division ("WHD") and OSHA creates a repository of data available for public consumption allowing customers and prospective employees to learn about workplace violations.
On the WHD flyer, the DOL prompts the question, "Given the choice, would you dine at a restaurant or shop at a store that didn't pay its employees properly?" Additionally, the DOL suggests that prospective employees search ESS and "Use it while job hunting."
Search results can be narrowed by industry, health/labor violations, or company name.
any fines or penalties imposed by DOL.
The app also provides the user with information on health, safety, and labor highlights, definitions, and alerts. Finally, the app has a "Take Action" button that submits suspected violations to the DOL.
Business owners should be aware that customers typing away on their Smartphones might actually be reporting suspected violations to the DOL and/or workplace safety violations to OSHA.

Concentrating only in compensation issues, Rodney is considered an expert in the areas of executive pay, sales compensation, incentive plans, employee compensation, FLSA, compensation and benefit surveys, and compensation technology. He provides international compensation consulting to clients in multiple industries across the United States and is a frequent lecturer and guest speaker at colleges and corporate events.
Mr. Cottrell is a graduate of the La Roche College Master of Science In Human Resource Management program with a specialty concentration in Strategic Management and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from the Indiana University Kelley School of Business with a concentration in Human Resource Management and Psychology. Rodney holds the following professional certifications: Certified Compensation Professional (CCP), Certified Employee Benefits Specialist (CEBS), Compensation Management Specialist (CMS), and Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR).
Most human resource professionals participate in professional associations, industry groups and other organizations to promote information sharing, learning opportunities, and networking. However, many are not aware that such activities may lead to a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act if it involves the sharing of wage and benefit data.
The conduct of formal and informal compensation surveys (e.g. as simple an act as calling a competitor to identify pay ranges) is regulated by the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. The Sherman Antitrust Act was passed to limit monopolies and other restraints on commerce. In general terms, this legislation and resulting litigation have helped define the act of "price-fixing" and other collusionary activities. Over the past 30 years, this law has been increasingly used to challenge the legality of salary surveys in determining labor market rates and compensation practices.
The Department Of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission have issued a joint policy statement which has been interpreted to provide a "safe harbor" for organizations involved in the exchange of compensation and benefits information.
Any information disseminated is sufficiently aggregated such that it would not allow recipients to identify the prices charged or compensation paid by any particular participant or service provider.
Attorneys' fees and cost of litigation born by the plaintiff.
Employers can protect themselves and their human resource employees by discontinuing the practice of contacting other employers directly to share wage, benefit, and policy information. There are various surveys conducted by independent compensation consultants that will provide information to employers while complying with the Sherman Antitrust Act. One such survey is the Survey of Executive and Administrative Assistants. This survey, conducted nationally for 23 years, provides compliance with defined "safety zones" and is available by contacting surveys@ehresearch.com or view other compensation surveys at www.ehresearch.com.
While conducting surveys, providers should also keep in mind that competitors should not have direct contact with each other regarding the actual survey or compensation/benefit information. In addition, the survey results should not identify the participating companies, either directly or indirectly. Finally, any discussion as a group relative to the survey results may be considered a gross violation of antitrust rules. Contact your antitrust attorney for legal advice regarding your pay practices.
Sewickley, PA, December 14, 2015 - Reported in the 2015 edition of the Survey of Executive and Administrative Assistants (SEAA), the median total cash compensation for assistants to CEO's nationwide is currently $107,100, a slight increase from 2014. This is the eighth consecutive year we have been able to report total cash compensation over $100,000 for the nation's top administrative support. The median total cash for all reported incumbents in the SEAA is $81,100, with the percent of assistants receiving bonuses at 63%.
Assistants average 16 years of service with their company and senior-most CEO assistants' tenure average slightly higher with 19 years. Of those reporting education levels, 24% of the assistants have received a 4-year degree or higher.
Companies participating in the 2015 survey have a median revenue of $9.5 billion. Size is an important factor in relation to pay as there continues to be a substantial difference in CEO assistants' pay between the larger half of the survey population (companies with revenue of $12 billion and up) vs. the lower half. This separation is a trend identified in 2008 and continues today.
For 24 years this research report has focused on the pay of executive assistants serving senior executives at the Fortune 1000 and other companies in the billion-dollar-plus category. The senior executives they support are paid at the $200,000-and-up salary level and are typically within three reporting levels below the CEO. The assistants to these executives - and especially, Assistants to the CEO - stand apart from their counterparts typically found in support staff or nonexempt surveys.
The 2015 SEAA covers over 800 job incumbents at 69 of the major U.S. corporate headquarters. Data is reported on 27 of the 28 surveyed assistant positions as well as all assistants by level from the CEO (up to 3 levels).
"This report is unique, not only in the jobs studied, but the pay prediction model we provide to our readers." According to EHResearch president Rodney Cottrell, "this report differentiates from others in knowing that the difference in pay can be measured and explained with some degree of accuracy based upon a set number of factors."
In addition to the general facts found above, the SEAA contains detailed information and analysis on policies and practices such as performance management programs, prevalence of dedicated assistants, FLSA exemption practice, Long-term Incentive compensation practice, and pay prediction models.
EHResearch Data Services, LLC conducts research for corporations and associations and administers custom pay surveys, as well as advising select compensation consulting firms in various aspects of compensation and benefits data. EHResearch Data Services, LLC is located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Today I was tagged by the lovely je ne regrette rein. It's an easy one (thank god). All I have to do is answer these questions and then tag some other bloggers to do the same. Sounds fun.
1. Where was I 10 years ago? Bruce and I were packing up to move from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. We had been together for 2 years and I was still a corporate monkey, selling computer software. I hated it, but knew nothing else. My territory was the southwest west - (Colorado, Utah Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Southern California). We were die hard rock-climbers, travelling around the world to climb. My company wanted me to move to another part of my territory to get it going and I got to choose where. Colorado and Utah (great climbing) but too cold. We usually drove to Vegas every other weekend to climb and camp, so we decided to go with that. We rented a rocking house up by Red Rocks and stayed for 8 months. We couldn't do it any longer...too strange. I actually quit my job while I was living there, but I quit from the airport in Boston. Was tired of flying every day, tired of the pressure, tired of the stress, tired of wearing a suit every day, just tired. We moved back to Southern California and that was the start of our studio and my vow never to work full-time again.
2. What is on my to-do list today. We are moving to france in 17 days. Well, we are leaving Los Angeles for Chicago in 17 days and then well fly to france from there. But we have to have everything ready to leave in 17 days. Here's what on the list, knowing that we can't get everything done in one day, some of these keep getting put on the next days list.
- call United airlines to figure out our return ticket...will we return???
3. What would I do if I was a billionaire. Well, I wouldn't get plastic surgery. But I would buy a farmhouse in france and maybe one in Italy and maybe an apartment in Paris, because Bruce loves Paris. I'd buy another road bike and one for Bruce and I'd build an amazing studio for me and an amazing studio for Bruce, at both of our houses. I'd have a beautiful kitchen, because I love to cook, and in that kitchen I would have a Lacanche range. I would love to cook on this range. I would travel all over the world and see new places and meet new people, but I would NEVER fly commercial again, I would charter a plane, because then we could take the dogs with us everywhere and not have to put them in the belly of the plane. I would pay off everything for my Mom, my sister and Bruce's parents. I would pay for my niece and nephews college education. I would use wealth to help animals, the environment and people who live in poverty. I would try and make a difference and would hope to stay a nice person.
4. Five places that I have lived.
out of the laundry basket.
big mistake, but I never seem to learn!
6. snacks that i like.
Dill pickles! You've cut your hair after downing le vin? You might be crazier than I am.
I shudder at the daily routine of selling software while cocooned in fancy dudes and fuselages. You should have gotten a medal for that, or hazard pay.
I let my motehr once cut my bangs after she had a few vodka martinis. The results were as you would expect.
So funny that you were at the Lakes too. And, I think I have also taken a vow to never work again--I just have never done it consciously. I think it is time to do that.
Farmhouse in Italy? I'm so totally there!!!
I am going to do my best while doing what I do best, procrastinating and slipping my gears.
RG- yes dill pickles, love them and yes I do seem to have a couple glasses of wine and then look at my hair and decide I could cut it just a bit...maybe a little off here and a little off there and then I have to call my Diana, who fixes everything. I'm left-handed and hold the scissors upside down and can't even cut a straight line, have no idea why I continue to do it.
Yes, I wore a suit for a long time. The money was amazing and I would bet that if I had not met Bruce I would still be doing it. The only thing good about it was that if allowed us to buy a house in LA, start a new business and now go to france.
LBR - hope your english muffin was yummy! The Lakes - such a funky place, all the houses looked exactly the same, very poltergiest.
justfoodnow - i'll keep you posted on italy!
Becky - i know, we are freaking out a bit...but a good freak out.
LF - you can do it...I know you can! It's very easy, doesn't take a long time. Great to see you yesterday!
It was so cool I can't write about it! Perfect!
Aha! Your first tag!! I've done this one before and if I could come up with better, more impressive replies, I'd answer the questions all over again.
Red vines...ooh yeah, one of my all-time faves!
From October 2008-October 2009 we moved from Los Angeles to rural france (the Aveyron region). Took a year off from our business and fell in love with life in France. We came back to the states sold our business and in October 2010 we moved back to France. After 5 great years in France, we're moving again. This time to Cataluyna Spain. Follow our new adventures.

It is time to kick out racism in football and our community
There seems to be an enormous rise of racism in our community and it simply has to stop!
Written by Mike Fernandez
Racism should be a redundant sentiment from a time that once was, extinct from our Manchester Streets, pubs, clubs and football matches.
Unfortunately this is not the case.
I have a mixed race son and daughter, me being white and English where their mother is brown and Indian.
The amount of racist comments being batted about due to their skin colour is appalling. There seems to be an enormous rise of racism in our community in Droylsden, Greater Manchester and it simply has to stop.
Recently at a Droylsden FC Juniors football game where he plays as Goalkeeper, my son Rahul was told to "shut it and go and bomb the MEN arena again!"
Thankfully he did not retaliate but where does this hatred and stupidity come from.
Is it the parents of the child who said it?
In pubs all over Greater Manchester there seems to be an acceptance of racism in particular racism against Muslims.
The 50 peaceful Muslim worshippers, which included women and children, in Christchurch is an example of the continued anti-Muslim sentiment which unfortunately is rife in our society.
The killing of innocent and defenceless worshipers is nothing short of disgusting.
In recent times, we have seen levels of racist and anti-religious sentiments on the rise globally.
The world of Sport, in particular Football is no stranger to this racist bigotry.
Prime example again when England played Montenegro just last night.
The senseless killing of any human being irrelevant of colour, or religious belief is abhorrent.
Those who think shouting racial, religious or any sectarian abuse in our national game should take a long look at themselves and basically stop supporting the clubs they have supported all their lives.
I hear it at Manchester City games and hear it in the streets of Manchester. It has become so commonplace.
Take one look at the club you support and love and especially the players you cheer for, even worship.
We wear their names on the back of our shirts with pride and pay an extortionate amount for the privilege to do so.
There are more than 50 Muslim players in the Premiership who are not only model professionals they are our heroes.
Our children are kicking a ball pretending to be them and aspiring to one day emulate them.
Liverpool F.C. have an amazing line-up of superstars with names like Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, Xherdan Shaqiri and Naby Keita just to name a few. All of which are Muslim footballers.
I am a Manchester City fan, we have Riyad Mahrez, İlkay Gündoğan, and Benjamin Mendy with our close rivals Manchester United having another world cup winning player superstar Paul Pogba.
Lets kick out any type of racism in football as an example to everyone else.
Racists and bigots should take a look in the mirror and realise the idiotic stance they take when acting like a racist bigot while at the same time applauding their football heroes.
The Premier league is exactly what OUR great city Manchester is! A beautiful example of what life has now become - an eclectic rainbow!

Review: LEGO Ideas' Ship in a Bottle is a display-worthy kit fit for any collection

Review chevron-right
Just a few weeks ago, LEGO announced the latest set to join the Ideas lineup, the Ship in a Bottle (21313). And now that the kit has washed onto store shelves, we've finally gotten our hands on LEGO's newest fan-made kit. Stacking up to under 1,000 pieces at its $69 price tag, the Ship in a Bottle is one of LEGO's most-accessible, intricate and unique builds we've seen in some time. So be sure to head below for the full scoop.
As always is the case with sets funded through LEGO Ideas campaign, the box art and instruction booklet get a little bit more love than your average kit. The box features nautical-themed art like port holes, giant krakens, and maps, which carry over into the booklet as well.
Packaging and booklet |
Jumping inside the instruction booklet, there's the usual inclusion of details on the creator, the build process and other interesting tidbits on what it took to turn the fan-made model into a bonafide LEGO set. I won't go into too much detail here to avoid spoiling the info, but it's all on-par with other sets.
The Build |
Piecing together the Ship in a Bottle can be broken down into 3 difference sections; the ship, the bottle and a display stand. Diving into the build starts with assembling the ship itself. The sea vessel is for the most part a typical LEGO build, but that doesn't take away from the intricacies packed into it. Its haul is comprised of some curved, stud-less surfaces complete with cannon ports.
There are some gold fixtures towards the rear as well as a flag, but the real star here are the massive white sails. A lot of details are packed in here and take the ship from being a typical build to anything but.
And while the ship utilizes some brilliant techniques to achieve the level of detail that it possesses, the bottle is a much more interesting in both its parts and assembly approach. Being that bottles are typically made of glass, this stage of the build uses a variety of transparent bricks to capture the classic ship in a bottle aesthetic.
This is one of the aspects of the kit that really stood out for me through the building process, as the LEGO designers behind the set have absolutely nailed the look of the bottle. Photos just don't do it justice in my book.
For things that are called bricks, LEGO was still able to recreate the curved bottle profile through use of both excellent part selection and new techniques not found in any other set. As you can expect, the bottle is in fact a fingerprint magnet, so you'll have to keep your eye out for any smudges.
On a similar note, by far the most enjoyable part of the build falls to step 59. With 284 translucent blue studs in hand, you'll fill the semi-completed bottle, resulting is what was the most satisfying sound to ever come from a LEGO set's assembly.
This gives the miniature ship the appearance of actually sailing on water and is an interesting technique for a set to employ. Of course that comes at the trade off of having several hundred pieces used for such an affect, a decision that in my book was well worth it.
Rounding out the build you'll find a nifty display stand, which is by far the most straightforward aspect of the set. Given the simplicity of the stand, it still manages to incorporate some neat additions which allow it shine amongst the rest of the building.
Most notable is a well-designed compass centered right underneath the bottle, along with some smaller accent elements like a golden name plaque, globes and more.
Overall I was really impressed with the final stage, as it uses some nice arch pieces to actually cradle the bottle. But the former two sections were just that much more captivating for me.
Parts |
Aside from overall build quality, the Ship in a Bottle also shines thanks to its inclusion of rare, printed and exclusive pieces. In the printed department you'll find a gold nameplate bearing the name Leviathan, a wax seal, and compass and finally the ship's sails. Just about all of the other elements that make up the bottle are worth highlighting as well, with the larger transparent pieces being uncommon in the past decade of LEGO kits.
Most of the kit is comprised of smaller elements, allowing it to still clock in at 12.2-inches in length despite its near 1000-piece part count.
Rough Waters |
The Ship in a Bottle is a phenomenal set, but that doesn't mean there isn't entirely smooth sailing ahead. As mentioned earlier, the bottle pieces are prone to smudges directing assembly, which may be a unnecessary pain for some. It is also a more complex build than most, meaning it may be tricky for new LEGO builders to assemble.
Lastly, getting the ship into its bottle housing is a pretty tight fit. This isn't necessarily a negative, but it is an awkward aspect of the build that I can't help but feel like could have been avoided. Maybe that's what they were going for given this is a ship in a bottle, but with how the rest of the set played out, it doesn't seem intentional.
Final Thoughts |
LEGO's Ship in a Bottle is first and foremost is a display piece. If you're looking for a kit to withstand the rigors of play, this certainly isn't it. And that's completely okay. In fact, LEGO going all-in on the display-worthiness aspect has created a truly unique and must-have set for older fans and collectors. Don't get me wrong, I love a good, sturdy kit that can survive a few swooshes, but LEGO has made something really special here.
That combined with its 962-piece part count make it a bargain at the set's $70 price tag. In the past, I've deemed other LEGO kits to be a great addition to one's collection, but with the Ship in a Bottle, that sentiment has been taken to a whole new level.
If there were any set I'd recommend to both fans of LEGO and not, this would certainly be it. Not only is this a build which LEGO collectors will certainly enjoy, but the kit also caters to a much wider audience than that. As a ship in a bottle, it's just a really neat model to have, one that I can see just about anyone getting to adorn their shelves with. The Ship in a Bottle is a great conversation piece, and is sure to be enjoyed a wide range.
All things considered, LEGO Ideas' Ship in a Bottle is a huge hit. It is a seriously impressive build in just about every facet, and brings some of the same wonder and amazement I experienced with the UCS Millennium Falcon down to a much more a affordable price point. Whether you're a LEGO builder, boat fan or collector of interesting paraphernalia, the Ship in a Bottle is one kit that's been christened for the high-seas

Hillary Clinton still leads the pack of potential 2016 presidential candidates, but a new poll shows New jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie would whittle her lead down to just 3 percentage points.
Sixty-three percent of Democratic respondents in the new Public Policy Polling survey throw their support behind Clinton; Vice President Biden is second with 13 percent.
The top four Republican contenders basically are neck-and-neck.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio leads with 16 percent; Christie and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush are dead-even with 15 percent; and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has 14 percent.
Clinton leads Paul and Rubio by 10 points each, but Christie takes 44 percent support to her 47 percent support, thanks in large part to his strong appeal with independents.
The poll shows Christie garnering more independents than Clinton does.
The polling was conducted when Congress increased its scrutiny of the Obama administration's handling of the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Many Republicans see Benghazi as Clinton's Achilles heel, but Dean Debnam, president of PPP, said the poll showed that scrutiny hadn't yet affected her 2016 chances.
"Benghazi isn't having much impact on Hillary Clinton's viability in a potential 2016 campaign," Debnam said.
"She continues to lead the Democratic field and the top Republican candidate possibilities."
The survey was conducted among 1,099 registered voters from May 6-9, and has a 3 point margin of error for the overall survey, 4 points for the Democratic portion and 3.5 points for the Republican portion.


The talented teens of the award-winning Riverdale Rising Stars presents the high-kicking Broadway musical A CHORUS LINE for seven performances only, from tonight, December 6, 2014 to January 4, 2015.
Featuring a cast of 23 teenage performers from Riverdale, Yonkers, Upper Manhattan, and beyond, performances of A CHORUS LINE will be held at the Riverdale YM-YWHA, located at 5625 Arlington Avenue (just off of Riverdale Avenue and West 256th Street), in Riverdale, Bronx, NY.
In honor of the Riverdale Rising Stars Bar Mitzvah 13th anniversary year, all tickets online and at the door are $13. Tickets may be purchased in advance online at www.riverdaley.org/chorus, or at the door prior to showtime. Tickets may also be purchased by phone 24/7 by calling Brown Paper Tickets at 1-800-838-3006 and selecting option 1. For group sales, email mraider@riverdaley.org.
Due to mature themes and language, this show is rated PG-13, and may not be appropriate for viewing by young children.
In A CHORUS LINE, a group of dancers literally put their lives on the line as they audition for ensemble roles in a new Broadway musical. As the story unfolds, the backstory of each dancer is revealed. Some are funny, some ironic, some heartbreaking. No matter what their background, however, they all have one thing in common: a passion for dance. To the tune of such songs as "What I Did for Love," "At the Ballet," and, of course, the stow-stopping "One," A CHORUS LINE is truly one singular sensation of a musical!
A CHORUS LINE premiered Off-Broadway at the Public Theater in 1975, and quickly became a sell-out phenomenon. It transferred to Broadway where it won 9 Tony Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and where it eventually ran for 6,137 performances.
At the time it closed in 1990, it was the longest-running musical in Broadway history up to that time, since surpassed by LES MISERABLES, Cats, and a trio of currently-running productions: the revival of Chicago (the original production of which lost the 1976 Best Musical Tony to A CHORUS LINE), The Lion King, and the current long-running champ,The Phantom of the Opera.
A CHORUS LINE was conceived by director-choreographer Michael Bennett, based on taped conversations he had with several groups of Broadway dancers about their lives. The show features music by Marvin Hamlisch, lyrics by Edward Kleban, and a book by James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante.
An Oscar-nominated film version was released in 1985, and the 2006-2008 Broadway production was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical.
The Riverdale Rep production of A CHORUS LINE is directed by Riverdale YM-YWHA's Director of Performing Arts Laurie Walton with choreography by Emily Walton and music direction by Justin Fischer. The design team includes Tony Wan (Scenery) Penelope Margeotes (Costumes), David Pentz (Lighting), and Denise Eberly (Sound).

The Law and the Lady ebook
Kategoria: Sensacja, thriller, horror
Valeria Woodville's first act as a married woman is to sign her name in the marriage register incorrectly, and this slip is followed by the gradual disclosure of a series of secrets about her husband's earlier life, each of which leads on to another set of questions and enigmas. Her discoveries prompt her to defy her husband's authority, to take the law into into a labyrinthine maze of false clues and deceptive identities, in which the exploration of the tangled workings of the mind becomes linked to an investigation into the masquerades of femininity. Probably the first full-length novel with a woman detective as its heroine, The Law and the Lady is a fascinating example of Collins's later fiction. First published in 1875, it employs many of the techniques used in The Moonstone, developing them in bizarre and unexpected ways, and in its Gothic and fantastic elements The Law and the Lady adds a significant dimension to the history of detective fiction.

If you're into digital stuff at all, you've heard about Apple's new iPhone. It's amazing. It's an iPod and a phone and an internet thingie all in one. Cingular will be carrying the phone come August or April or sometime later in the year, when the FCC gives their stamp of approval. But what people aren't talking about, and I just stumbled onto while browsing Apple's site is AppleTV. It's really cool. It's like hard drive that wirelessly syncs to your computer so all your iTunes stuff can play through your TV & entertainment system. In other words: No more huddling around the TV. It's a really cool idea. It holds 40 GB, which in terms of downloading movies (legally from the iTunes store now), is a lot if you only watch a movie once, but not, if you save them to watch again & again (about 50 hours).
