I think it was already last May when I started nagging Frank, from RoadRunner records, to get me an interview with Mike Mangini. The whole soap opera and publicity surrounding him joining the band following the shock departure of Mike Portnoy made him, for me at least, a person I really wanted speaking with DPRP.
Frank came back and delivered, with the interview setup ahead of the Dream Theater gig at Zwolle, NL on 1st February. Mike comes across in interviews and the audition video (The Spirit Carries On) as a guy a little too nice to be real, well I can assure you it's not fake, he's the real deal: warm, intelligent, open and caring. Ladies and gentlemen we give you the one-and-only Mike Mangini, "a dumb drummer who hits shit"…
Exclusive Interview for DPRP by Dave Baird, photographs by Dave Baird and Menno von Brucken Fock
Thanks for taking the time to speak to the Dutch Progressive Rock Page! We are not a drum magazine, so we will not be discussing shells, heads, pedals, cymbals, hardware, stools or sticks… 🙂
OK, no problem!
Mike – you auditioned against six other awesome drummers for the role in Dream Theater. Do you think they ultimately chose you so that they didn't have to learn a new name?
(laughs) Yes! See, I do have a sense of humour!!
The strong impression that came over from The Spirit Carries On documentary was that it was between you and Marco Minneman – do you feel he let himself down with that awful t-shirt he was wearing?
Hey, he's my friend and I like Marco wearing his funny shirts!
Well he's a funny guy, and did a great audition, very interesting style.
I knew he was going to, in fact I know that all of the drummers there had something special
So, Mike, would it be an understatement to say that it has been a pretty good 12 months?
It is an understatement, a huge understatement in fact and the reason is because of the fans! I had no idea how welcoming they would be, and that documentary (Ed: The Spirit Carries On) I believe was the key in introducing people to my naked soul, completely being emotional and wanting to be part of their lives and this band's life.
You came into Dream Theater on a wave of unprecedented publicity, wasn't that a bit weird, and how do you live up to such hype?
Well I know how I do it, when we've finished our interview I'm going to start practicing. I keep my mind moving, I like to 'smell the roses' and enjoy, but not too much, I have too much to do and I just keep on working. That's how I deal with it, I just don't think about it really.
A Dramatic Turn of Events (ADToE) has been lauded by the critics and the majority of the fans, with many claiming it to be their best since Scenes from a Memory, or even Awake. What sets it apart from the intervening albums?
Clearly for me because it was written with no drummer involved, that's is the difference. And what happens in that case, specifically in the case of ADToE, where I wasn't even involved, is that the pure music writing in the band are still together – meaning John Petrucci mainly and Jordan Rudess play instruments where they compose the parts. They've always chosen 'let's do F♯ or B♭, no-one else has done that. So they're still there and without any drummer, so John Myung and James have been able to chime in with more ideas in this quitter setting. At least that's my view on it, because I was there of course – a more pure sense of where the writing always was and they just wanted to go back to that.
Well I guess the whole band dynamic had changed anyway?
Well John Petrucci called me and said "I don't want you to be there, I want just us to be there" and the first thing I said to him was "Thank you"! The reason I thanked him was because I didn't feel I had enough experience and I might have steered it in a different direction that it shouldn't have gone, simply because I have not been in the band. So it's better that they wrote it and now I've had the chance to learn and play lots of Dream Theater songs, play on the new record and learn what it's all about. Especially paying respect to the previous parts, absolutely learning them the best I can to get a flavour for that. So, it's a different time now.
You've stated that This is the Life was the hardest piece for you to record because you had to hold yourself back so much…
Yes, I wanted to, I wanted to. Anyone who practices at anything it could be tennis, soccer, it could be throwing frisbees, I don't know, eating hotdogs, alright? For anybody that works at something, you wanna play music, you want to go out into the game and stay for that whole game. So that's the feeling.
With that in perspective which piece on ADToE do you enjoy to play the most and why?
Phew, oh man, that's a tough one! Let's just say that my coordination is needed the most in the instrumental section in Outcry, that's perhaps the one that I have the most feeling for given that I have to access some challenging moves and is satisfies me that they're musical as well as challenging.
Have you been through the whole Dream Theater back-catalogue?
So you're not just learning on an "as needed" basis, just getting through it bit-by-bit?
Well no, I actually went through everything before the recording of ADToE, again to get a perspective. I was coming into something that existing without me and prior to me, so the best thing I could do is gain knowledge. I went through everything and now, every time before we do a tour, I go back and really learn it with a sense of putting a little bit of myself into it and just paying respect to what's there.
So in a sense I'm stepping my way through it, but it depends what that means because I could play whichever tune and learn something quite quickly to a certain level, but to me that's not good enough, I would be questioning and unsure, and what I do is that I convert it to the language of my drum set, which is very different; and that takes me a while.
How does one go about learning and memorising such a large set of quite complex music, are there techniques?
Absolutely. The first thing I do is make a map of each song so that I don't feel that it's too overwhelming, I don't feel lost. Then I go in a sectionalise things, so that if I learn a section that's played again. I can go and learn all those sections before I learn everything in-between…
(Ed: at this point the lights in the dressing room went off and we were plunged into total darkness – this happens four or five times during the interview)
Ok… that's… interesting!
A Dramatic Loss of Lights! But anyway, ah, there we go (Ed: the lights come back on) I map it out and do my best to use my time wisely, so if I learn one section then I'll learn the others that are just like it, it's easier for me. Then I look back at the map of the song and then I can put them together, and then I can start to get microscopic.
Out of all the tracks you've learnt then, the same question as for ADToE, which ones are you enjoying the most to play?
Well it's going to sound a bit clichéd, but I like them all, because they're great, they're interesting compositions and there's so much melody in them – that's what separates them from regular Prog, to me. But also the drum parts are really interesting, it's just fun, I can't tell you one more than the other.
Actually, that partially answers my next question, because Dream Theater are a bit of an anomaly insomuch as they're a progressive-metal band, quite challenging music for the listener they're quite nerdy, if you like..
Well if you want to see it that way…
You know the word 'nerdy'?
Yeah, my wife calls me that…
Yeah, mine too, but despite all that, they're immensely popular – why do you think that is?
Because there's so much melody in the compositions, I mean what else could it be? People need something to latch onto that's quite simple to latch onto. The rhythmic components of progressive music is not simple, it has to be learned. The record has to be listened to many times of any band that does this, but the melody, I think that's the difference, right there.
I would agree with you actually, you can sing along to it, perhaps not dance, but sing. How does being in Dream Theater compare to the bands you've been in, in the past?
I've been really privileged to work with absolutely amazing musicians and amazing people. Everyone's had a different gift and I've been at a different stage in my life with each, for example back with Extreme I might have driven people crazy that I don't drive crazy now – you know what I mean? I mean you grow up and you become less spoiled and you grow more appreciative as you get older. So I'm in that space of being extremely grateful and appreciative, that's number one and number two is that I constructed that drum set that I play, but I had no-one to play with, I was a like a little kid, with no one to play with. So being in the band fulfils that in my life, hugely.
(at this point Jordan Rudess comes in the room talking and Mike asks him to be quiet)
I can't believe you've just told Jordan to shut up on my behalf, thank you!
(Laughing) We do it for each other, it happens all the time!
Cool, so in fact you needed it, you had a big gap in your life and this came along, in fact like things always seem to…
Which is why I exploded emotionally…
Things have the habit of working out in life, at least that's what I've noticed, if you let them come…
Yeah, that's the difference, I've tried to mould too many things, you just can't do that. Well the one thing I can mould is my drum set and finally it had a home, but it took a long time to mould it into this ambidextrous mini-orchestra!
Of course you were using the intervening years to grow a family, so it wan't wasted time?
That's why you get married!
So how has your life changed since you joined Dream Theater? Do you miss Berkeley?
Life has changed in every single molecule of a way for the better. I do not miss working at the college at all, I'm much more happy here. However I miss the people, I miss my colleagues, I miss the students certainly – I learned so much from them, that was an amazing experience. But I don't miss being in a building and having to deal with traffic, and paying for parking. I don't miss that at all.
How does your family feel about this transition?
Extremely great! My son is old enough to know what's happening and he thinks it's the coolest thing. My wife is ecstatic because I'm happy, and she's part of this, she saw the whole process. My parents and my siblings have felt their whole lives very strongly about me, understand what I've been through and support it. So they're all just ecstatic.
It's great to have that family network behind you, supporting you like that, because it doesn't always happen…
I know it doesn't always happen and actually my dad never supported my learning music. He supported me going to college, because he wanted to to develop my mind, because I had very good grades and he thought it would be a waste. But checkout what he said to me, he said: "You can not go to school for music, no way, I won't have anything to do with it!". I asked him why and he said that, "Because you can already do it, go somewhere else, go learn something else".
But you did, didn't you? Don't you have an IT Degree?
I never got a degree, but I got really close. I went to night school studying software engineering, but I quit that job to play in a band…
When was that?
Oh gosh, I worked as a software engineer from 1987 to 1991, I think we were programming in binary and octal, it was crazy!
As you mentioned, you've been privileged to play with some great people and three of the greatest guitarists of our time…
He's the best right there (points to Petrucci who wandering around the room eating)
Well you've got to say that haven't you. I think Vai plays faster…
(Big laugh from both Mike and John) You're a silly person!
I'm English, it's normal, think "Monty Python"
(now the lights go out again – maybe John hit the switch?)
Everyone has a gift that they can develop… I'm going to keep talking here, I don't need lights to speak… and the interesting thing is that as long as each person follows their calling, as long as they stick to their guns, follow their own path then it just yields a beautiful result for everyone and there's room for everybody.
Could you pick out any particular differences, obviously in playing style, but when you compare John, Steve and Nuno – obviously very different people, could you say something about that?
Well yeah, you can tell each person's influence. You can tell what it is that they've pursued in their personal practice, you pursued things more categorically or more things specifically or stylistically, and I can hear those differences.
You spent quite a while with Steve Vai, about five years, you played on what, Fire Garden, The Ultra Zone…
Eight records actually: Merry Axemas live, Ultra Zone Live, The Seventh Song, errm, I don't remember
That' s OK, we can check Wikipedia later, but did you have a defining moment during that time, track, song, something you cherish the most?
Well out of that era it was definitely the Fire Garden Suite and the reason is that it had to do with the person as well. When I was in the studio, that was when I met Steve and what was really special about that, and I think it was a mutual thing, but I respected him as a composer first. I didn't go in and try to change anything to what I felt, what I thought, I wanted. So even though I'm not a great composer like all of these guys, I still know what it *feels* like when you compose something and you want to see it realised to a point. So I had total respect and Steve's really great at writing and orchestrating drum parts. So I had a ball doing what he wanted to be done, and it just happened to be stuff that I liked.
That was a defining moment in just feeling understood, just being understood.
I also picked out Fire Garden Suite as my personal favourite, I imagine it's quite a difficult piece as the drums are tracking the piano parts, must have been a tricky one to nail?
Yes, and no. And I had to tell you, and all these guys will probably vouch for it. I don't know how this is going to come out, but…
(shouts again, this time at James Labrie at to be quiet)
…what was the question again?
You were going to say how great you were, or something…
(raucous laughter) No, no, no, oh, oh my, that's funny!
No, we were talking about why Fire Garden wasn't so tough for you…
No, indeed, the guys will vouch for it, but I have the easiest time with the most difficult stuff. I think something inside me burns for that. I have a harder time with keeping my focus when I have to play a little more simplistic, because I'm tortured. I'm like a tortured soul, I hear things, it's like I'm fighting myself in my mind, and in order to do that I have to believe that what I'm doing, in a more simplistic way, is the right thing. If that's the case then I'm completely happy doing it because I know it's really difficult to keep time, just to keep time. There's a lot of people out there that think progressive or notey music doesn't groove, but it's just that they haven't developed a certain part of the brain that needs to be developed in order to appreciate that type of music. MIT did a study on this, so I'm not speaking my opinion, this is a fact, but they just haven't developed that portion of the brain that's needed to enjoy this type of music.
So there are a lot of people out there who are "it's all about the groove man, man, man, the groove, man", but it's not always about the groove, because they don't know what it is. You can't groove with something you don't know, a simplistic groove is much more different from a complex groove, it's a different thing. For me to be happy with the simplistic groove I need to divide and keep time in my brain, so yeah, it's a challenge.
In general, how was it working with Extreme? By the way, I saw you with Extreme on the Waiting for the Punchline tour in Wolverhampton Civic Hall in 1995… It was soooo loud, it sounded good when you went to the toilets and shut the door… So hey, we go back a bit!
Well I mean, Nuno was spitting 132db out of his cabinets, so was Pat actually, they both were. That's a lot of decibels… So about my time, they sort of rescue me from a bad work situation and that allowed me to feel free, but then oppositely, when Nuno quit and wanted to leave, it was the biggest disappointment to me, because we had constructed so many new songs together that nobody will ever hear and even ones that Nuno composed alone and turned up with and said "Here's a song, let's learn the song". They were brilliant and I was able to play drums that was a part of me. It was a wonderful time and nobody will ever, ever hear that stuff, there's no recording of it, well maybe on a cassette tape floating around. That's a big disappointment that it will never live, that's gone, gone forever.
But you did also work with Gary and Pat with Tribe of Judah?
Yeah, well everyone is going to stay friends, for ever. No matter what happens in families, squabbles and everything, at the end of the day we all love each other. We all make mistakes, every one of us, you forgive it and you move on.
Last June I saw you at the Loreley Night of the Prog festival, I don't know if you remember that gig?
Yes I do, our mixing console broke!
Yep, you were 45 minutes late as a result…
Well lucky that we got to play!
The band gave you the honour to go on stage first and present yourself to the fans. You got a tremendous reception and this seems to be mirrored around the world. Are you surprised at the positivity?
Yes, yes. Well perhaps I should say 80% yes, because I don't expect anything from anybody. There's this syndrome of the quiet majority, meaning that the majority of the people that will speak up are usually negative, online and such. But actually, when you look at it, the amount of negative comments on a subject compared to the likes are infinitesimal, they're so small. People get the impression it's a negative thing, but when I look at it, it's overwhelmingly positive and I would never have expected that. I think though it's because people know that I want to be here, that I try to make it the best I can and to respect the music first and foremost.
The day after Loreley I spoke to Jordan on the phone and he had nothing but praise for you, really it was gushing. Obviously on a musical level, but perhaps more importantly for the positivity and joy you were spreading in the band and the crew – what would you say about that?
Well man, you know I open doors for them and I make sure they have everything they need and I'm always, always, always saying thank you. You know, this is a very positive environment and what we do is give everybody enough trust, we let them do their jobs. We don't interfere too much, everyone's a professional. That's what's happening now. When you see the show tonight, the lights, that's the work of Steve Baird, that's his work, the video is by BeJohnny Video. They are putting that artistic sense in and I think they feel supported and they're certainly thanked because I'm appreciative, we all are.
And I've got to say, my tech – Eric (Ed: Eric Disrude) – there isn't a show where I don't turn around and say "thank you", or "you nailed it". I don't know how much work that all is, but it's not easy.
Must certainly be nice for you not to have to setup your own drums these days! You had no hand in the writing process of ADToE, but I assume you will from now on? Did that writing process already begin, albeit perhaps only through jamming? What you you believe you can bring to the table in that respect?
Yes of course, I guess we're talking about 2013, but we're not sitting down to compose right now, we're just having a lot of FUN. Throwing out riffs and ideas, feeling connected and feeling comfortable with playing together. It's so much fun and very important, and that's what's being established. We could probably sit down and come up with anything right now, today, but we're just having fun during our time together.
What I can bring to the table, I believe, is an extra level of rhythmic co-ordination. You know I work very hard, differently from Mike (Portnoy) who has his own thing – all drummers have a different thing. What I do is coordination where I can play a couple of rhythms at once, but make music out of it; not make it sound like pots and pans. That's what's different, I can play two rhythms at the same time and the band can really go crazy, I think the band can use that.
Yeah we heard some of this on ADToE, there's a really obvious example in On the Backs of Angels where you're playing with two distinct patterns at the same time, one following the vocals, the other the keyboards…
Yeah, that's right!
And this is something you've alluded to in interviews that you spent your wilderness years training yourself to be independent in each of the four limbs, mind and voice. Can you elaborate a little on that?
Research. Research, introspective thought and searching all the time. But that's where teaching is so important, because if someone is paying money to get advice from me then I don't think I can't go to sleep at night if I take the money and can't answer the question. So I really worked hard to try and think through how things worked. Because of that it keeps me in that mode where I'm thinking and learning: how can I do this, how can I tell anyone else how to do this if I don't even know what it is? So that's where it comes from, I hear my voice in my head, constantly telling me. It's like a multitrack in there: clicks that don't exist, and voices – my voice, not someone else's! Once it's someone else's voice then they can put me in a white coat, OK?
Anyway, I'm just trying to listen to my body and pay attention.
Actually, talking of clicks, another thing I noticed on the audition video and also at Loreley is that when you're playing, one very distinctive thing you're doing when leading the band back in after pauses is that you're clicking your sticks. I recall it on both The Dance of Eternity and Ytsejam. It that something you always do, something you've put in while you're learning the ropes with the band?
It was very instinctive, very intuitive. But you know, it's really interesting that you say it, because when I saw that happening, when I watched the audition video I actually thought "what am I doing there? I'm clacking wood together in the middle of a tune!", but clearly I didn't do that on purpose, well I guess I did do it on purpose, but I didn't think about it, it's just something in my nature to keep everything together. Using my eyes and watching everybody and making sure everything's in the right place.
Yeah, the first time I saw it, I thought "what was that?", but then next time you're looking for it and you want it to be there – the human mind works in strange ways…
You know, I started doing it, it's going to be in the first song (Ed: Bridges in the Sky). It's just a way to keep everybody glued in, me too! It's almost validating that I'm going to be OK, I'm in the right place, everything will be fine.
Don't Panic!
Don't panic, it's all gonna be good.
Referring back to your vast teaching career, for all the young drummers out there, what would be your over-riding message for them?
Oh, to absolutely try to identify their love. What is it that you love the most about a certain kind of music? And the reason why is because that drummer will then question the mechanics they need for that particular music, but they will ultimately find out that they are the mechanics for all kinds of music. Therefore, what's important is to choose that music which they love. Where students get steered into a wall is when they're forced to learn music that they hate and even though it's good for us all, it's not right right away. You need a teacher who will say "I know you like heavy metal, but I'm going to teach you jazz. However, I'm going to listen to your heavy metal and see what relates, so here we go with this jazz exercise, but you can use if for the heavy metal like this…".
But most teachers don't do that!
When you were growing up, what drummers and bands inspired you the most?
Well I can give you the order, the first was Ringo & The Beatles – that was before I was 4 and up until about 6. I was performing already when I was 5, that was Beatles music. Then Blood, Sweat & Tears and the band Chicago, those two bands simultaneously with all the horns. Then Buddy Rich was the fourth inspiration to me, then John Bonham was the next. Neil Peart from Rush and Terry Bozzio.
So those seven – I didn't just get inspired, I learned their whole catalogues. I learned everything that they played on, to the best of my ability.
So there is a bit of Prog history in there, a little bit…
Oh yeah! I mean it was amazing doing a tour with Eddie Jobson from U.K., what I learned from that record! You know, that's the guy on the album covers, and I'm looking at him, and I'm playing his music, and he's my friend.
He's a monster isn't he…
I love that guy! You know what an impact he had on me? I had knees surgery in 2009, you know, it was very difficult for me to make the leap, but my family supported me, my wife supported me to get back into a band. Eddie asked me to do that with U.K., and he really helped me to look a little more professional. I would have worn sports gear – football pants and white socks, spandex shirt… and he got me to look more theatrical and professional. He also inspired me about things I was good at – he would pull me to one side and tell me things that he liked about me, "man you should do this thing that you do in your solo". He supported me, what a genuinely amazing human being he is. He's so secure and so loving that he would care about me that much. I just love that guy, I'm so happy that that happened to me.
I must admit that it's the first U.K. album that does it for me – I always consider it as the birth of Dream Theater type music. Bruford's drumming is just amazing.
Oh yeah, I love it and Bruford was a huge influence for me too, but I'm giving you the first seven! Hey, this day and age, most drummers are an inspiration.
Yeah, the level of musicianship is just phenomenal these days.
Yeah, because they have all my books! Plug, plug, plug…
Oh, what's your book called Mike?
Rhythm Knowledge (Mike goes digging in a cupboard and returns with two books). Here, these are for you. These are about how we behave as humans, it's a behavioural system and yes, drums are involved, but it applies to everything.
Oh thanks! I'll take a photo of that and put it in the interview…
Yeah, and what people will say is "Oh, he's not musical, he's a machine", blah, blah. But look, I'm just trying to do it any way I can. I'm a flawed human being, I make a lot of mistakes and I need all the help I can get to help me be happy.
So you did pay some attention to the Prog scene before you joined Dream Theater, so it wasn't a total shock, but now that you're playing in a Prog band are you finding that women are less attracted to you?
No, there are more women showing up to these shows actually, and it's nice to have that female base that's willing to listen to the record 5 to 10 times to allow the brain to formulate it. Again, this is science, you cannot listen to a Prog record out of the box and just immediately like it, because it's an uncomfortable experience, it takes work. But once you do, once you make those neural connections in your brain, in your mind, man it's like you can't live without it any more!
Well if you like a Prog record on the first listen then it means it's no good!
Well probably means that your brain's already wired. Listen, I'm quoting science. Don't listen to me, I'm just a dumb drummer that hits shit, but these guys are scientists, I trust them.
Talking about hitting shit, are you still officially the "fastest drummer in the World"?
I don't know, I probably still have the fastest 15 minute foot record or something… You know, when I set that record, I was woken up at 7:00 in the morning and just sat at the chair and tested the machine. If I actually tried to do it then maybe I'd get all antsy, I don't know. It's a lot of fun though.
But hey, the "world's fastest drummer" – I'm the world's slowest drummer at getting into their favourite band! I'm the world's slowest drummer at making the most money, I'm the world's slowest drummer at learning certain songs…
But you got there in the end…
Yeah, I got there in the end!
OK, one last thing… In what areas of drumming do you consider yourself to be strong and where would you like to improve?
I think my best asset is that I think I've broken down all there is to learn into learnable categories and I have a full picture of everything there is to play, and thus I have learned drums categorically, I have tried to learn a bit of everything with either chops, or timing, or feel, or styles, or phrasings or dynamics. I've tried to learn a bit of each category and I think my best strength is that I went far with all of these things. But I'm still a person with individual tastes and I do prefer certain kinds of music and that, I must say is… for example, if I auditioned with all that knowledge and skill for a band I really didn't like or a kind of music I didn't like then I bet you I would not win that. Somebody else that has it from the heart, that's probably less mechanical would get it because their heart is in it.
That's what I think
That's great. So you've got a gig to play, you've been an absolute gentleman. Thank you Mike Mangini.
Thank you, hey wait a bit, since we're in Holland, Dank u well!

Uniting Against NTDs
November 16-18, 2012: Mundo Sano, an Argentinean non-profit focused on facilitating a broader reach for efforts linked to Chagas disease, issued a press release todayannouncing their involvement in the NTD conference this weekend in DC.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Bank are hosting Uniting to Combat Neglected Tropical Diseases this weekend to build on the London Declaration on NTDs and bring together the various stakeholders, such as non-profits, national governments and pharmaceutical companies, to determine what steps are necessary to further the goals established by the Declaration last January.
During this event, Mundo Sano hosted a meeting on Chagas disease and the access to treatments in non-endemic countries, as well as potential policies to prevent the disease from spreading further. Chagas affects more than 8 million people in the Western Hemisphere, including 300,000 people in the United States. According to Mundo Sano's press release, a study published by the Infectious Diseases Society of America estimated there are more than 300,000d people infected with Chagas disease in the United States.
Sabin Vaccine Institute president, Dr. Peter Hotez is quoted in the press release saying, "Chagas disease is a serious public health problem, not just in Latin America, but also in the United States. It is crucial that we expand our efforts to fight Chagas by improving training for health care providers, developing safer and more effective treatments while simultaneously developing new vaccines. Only with a combined effort can we eliminate this disease, which disproportionally affects people living in poverty throughout the Western Hemisphere."
Those attending the Mundo Sano meeting on Chagas disease, as well as the entire Uniting to Combat Neglected Tropical Diseases event are hopeful that these next three days will facilitate concrete plans for action in line with the London Declaration, as well as cultivate new partnerships in the fight to end 10 NTDs by 2020.

Governor Kasich announced Wednesday that the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) Net Asset Fund should return an additional $1 billion to Ohio employers as a premium rebate. The rebate will be based on the premiums paid by private and public employers during their 2012 policy year, equal to 60 percent of their premiums.
The Ohio BWC Board of Directors will consider the recommendation at the August meeting and will likely approve the proposal in September.
If the voting timeline is kept, Ohio employers could receive a second round of premium rebate checks as early as October.
Governor Kasich also revealed that the Ohio BWC will invest in the extension, expansion and research of various existing safety programs to assist Ohio businesses with the prevention of workplace injuries.
Editor's Note (August 26, 2014):
Urgent: An employer with a lapsed status on September 5, 2014 will NOT be eligible for the premium rebate. Employers must be in an active, reinstated, combined or debtor-in-possession status effective September 5, 2014.

Nothing sets off a pair of sunglasses quite like a loud pout for me. I'm not one to play around with colour – experimentation in that forte is confined to lips and tips only – but I've been swatching around with textures, shades and trends of the former and came across something that just clicked into place. It's not the most seasonal of discoveries, but paired with a simple complexion and some sunglasses, a good matte textured bold lip is where it's at. A single statement finish that requires minimal upkeep and wins points on longevity without the tooth-smudging stress. Now we're talking. Here's two of my faves that I've been swiping on when the sunnies come out to play…
The Tango take on Pink: Colorbar Kiss Proof Lip Stain in Blush Crush. This is the liquid-form product that set the matte ball rolling for me and is the one I'm sporting in the pictures above. It's ridiculously easy to draw on, imparts the most gorgeous orange-toned pink on the lips that I've found and hangs around for aaaaaages. I usually struggle with lipstick smudging all over my teeth, but with this I don't even have to do the whole 'unattractive finger suck', it just doesn't move. The ultimate no-fuss lip for all.
The Classic: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Raspberry Freeze. I bloody love this suits all rouge. Not too cool, or too warm I've yet to find someone who doesn't look kick ass in this deep pink shade. I also find this colour to mix really well with my other pick – a bit of the Colorbar to add some brightness into the blend. It's probably the most matte out of the three and requires a dollop and a half of Maybelline Baby Lips to be applied pre and post application but it's worth it as trust me – this stuff does not budge.
My regime for application when it comes to matte lippies is simple: slick on, blot off, reapply. Then it's time to bask in the sun in your typically more spotted in autumn lip choice; because sometimes it's fun to break the beauty rules a little, right?

This time last year, Juan Mata leaving Chelsea was unthinkable. He'd scored 12 league goals and assisted another 17. He'd been the main man for the team in the two years in which they lifted the Champions League and Europa League. Everything good went through Mata and it seemed he could do no wrong.
That he would be playing for Manchester United before the year was out was inconceivable, and yet this is the reality we are faced with. Still reeling from the sale of their golden boy, Chelsea fans may soon have another trauma to deal with.
Eden Hazard was named Chelsea's Player of the Year in a season of transition. Chelsea first struggled to stop teams scoring and then to score themselves. Hazard shone throughout. He was the one attacking player guaranteed his place and he was the one player who always looked likely to create. And yet there are reasons to believe he may not be at Chelsea much longer.
Mourinho was harsh in his criticism of Hazard in the wake of Chelsea's second leg defeat to Atletico Madrid and it seems the manager is growing tired of what he sees as the player's inability to change. Hazard's defensive weakness had led directly to two of Atletico's goals.
Mourinho demands a minimum of work from all his players without the ball and there are reasons to believe that this minimum may be above what Hazard is capable of. The manager accepted a lack of defensive contribution from Ronaldo at Real Madrid but Hazard is not at this level. While the Belgian was Chelsea's best attacking player last season, Mourinho may still prefer to sell the forward and bring in someone who will toe the line.
WANT MORE? >> Chelsea transfer news | Latest transfer news
The idea here is that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. By having a team of players who are all willing to work equally hard without the ball, Chelsea become a greater force than their individual qualities would suggest. However, if one of these parts is not working as it should, then the whole thing falls down. This is what Mourinho saw against Atletico Madrid.
It seems Jose Mourinho now only wants to work with a certain kind of player – one who loves working. Hazard is not that sort of player. Yet Mourinho is a pragmatist, and if Hazard proves capable of increasing his rate of goalscoring, then the manager is likely to be willing to make an exception. As it is, Hazard doesn't deliver the kind of return to compensate for what Mourinho sees as an unwillingness to help his teammates.
There are advantages to thinking about things in such a holistic way. A team with a coherent system is certainly greater than just a collection of talented players, and there are times when Chelsea's press and counter has worked to great effect – just ask Arsenal. However, Mourinho's desire for only one type of player may have unwanted results.
Chelsea's failures last season where largely offensive. It's not moments such as Hazard's lapse of concentration at Atletico Madrid that characterize Chelsea's season but their inability to break down teams who defend deep. Against such teams, Hazard often looked the most likely to create, leaving the idea of a Hazardless Chelsea a worrying one.
Given Mourinho's work-centred philosophy and Chelsea's commitment to Financial Fairplay, it's not difficult to imagine the club accepting an offer for Hazard. How the club would then seek to score against the packed defences that they face in the majority of their matches is another matter.

Want to have an elegant holiday? Want to escape the wet, slushy cold for the brisk sunny snow-less winter weather of Southern California? Escape to Los Angeles for an evening of Cole Porter music, stylish dancing on stage and the possibility of romance with like-minded souls. All aboard for the Center Theatre Group's special "Anything Goes" New Year's Eve-Eve Singles Night.
You'll have to book your own flight and hotel, but the rest is covered. Hunky dancer sailors and other "Anything Goes" cast members will attend the special early dinner at the supper club First & Hope Restaurant. From 4 to 6 p.m., you'll be eating jambalaya, black truffle macaroni and cheese, roasted rosemary garlic chicken au jus, Coca Cola braised short rib and grilled seasonal vegetables at this unassuming Art Deco New York Style dinner club. Of course, carefully selected white and red wines are included.
You'll be walking over to the Sunday evening show of "Anything Goes" and sitting together in the mezzanine section $100 seats (included in the evening's package).
Fans of the movie musical may also been surprised, but remember Hollywood often changes original musicals plot. In this case, Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse's original book has been revised by Howard Lindsay and John Weidman. Yet "Anything Goes" has a history of revisions so purists shouldn't be offended. The 1962 off-Broadway revival was revised, influenced by the movies. More Cole Porter songs were added such as "It's De-Lovely" from "Red Hot and Blue" and "Friendship" from "DuBarry Was a Lady."
The Tony Award-winning 1987 Broadway revival changed the order of some of the musical numbers and re-scored the music. It's the revival of this 1987 version (which starred Patti Lupone) that opened on Broadway in 2011 with Sutton Foster playing Reno Sweeney. Foster went on to win a Tony for Best Actress. Rachel York takes Foster's place on the national tour and her Sweeney has plenty of glamour and she was able to muddle through a few technical problems with the microphones on opening night (for my full review)
After watching this cheery romance (6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.), while Cole Porter tunes are still running in your head, you'll then skip back to First & Hope for post show champagne, coffee and tea and a luscious array of desserts: brownies, sugar cookies, profiteroles, peppermint marshmallows and a chocolate fountain. Cast members are expected to attend as well.
First & Hope's swank Bar Fedora will also help get you into the mood with a bit of mood making lighting and some specially selected music. The original costumes by designer Martin Pakledinaz will be on display. If that inspired you to find your inner glamour girl or channel the old Hollywood debonair air of say, Cary Grant, why not go tux and bow tie?
You don't have to get all dolled up or dandified to attend. Holiday festive is requested. Dinner, delightful dancing and singing on-stage and the possibility of romance off-stage–what more can you ask as part of your New Year's festivities?
For $98 what could be more delightful and delovely? For more information, contact your social director for New Year's Eve-Eve, Eileen Roberts at (213) 972-7249. The event is for adults. Parking is available at the Music Center parking lot off Grande Ave. for an additional fee of $9.

"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1
I have a little life.
Sometimes I wonder why I do what I do. It's often difficult to see good things growing after years of sowing. Seeds are pretty small things.
In Galatians 8:9, Paul writes: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
Ahh, there's the rub. It is so incredibly easy to give up when the ground has frost and the seeds are hidden. When all the seeds sown with effort and watered with tears are still asleep in the soil.
The author of Psalm 126:5-6 sings: "Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them." This is the hope of harvest, promised to us by the Lord in Genesis 8:22, "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease." Never.
A little life, even a little hidden life, IS life. Jesus does a lot with a little life yielded to Him. Some of His best miracles are done with a little life, a little fish, a little bread, a little child, a little faith, a little hope, a little courage, a little love.
Jesus said "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom." Luke 12:32
Perhaps all of this waiting for harvest is God's way of getting our eyes off of ourselves and our circumstances, and onto Him Who makes all things grow.
"It's not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow. The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. For we are both God's workers. And you are God's field. You are God's building."
1 Corinthians 3:7-9
Wow. We're not just planting and watering, we are the field, too, and even the green house! God's workers. God's field. God's building. God's little seed, growing up in us – mere clay pots – to reap a harvest of salvation.
"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed." 2 Corinthians 4:7-9
Only God knows what He has buried deep within us, silently waiting to sprout, multiply, and harvest at the proper time if we do not give up.
Scriptures are from NIV, NLT, NKJV.

An op-ed piece in one of Nashville's local newspapers suggests that Tim Tebow might be the most polarizing American athlete since Mohammad Ali.
While that might be a stretch, it does seem like a lot of people are chatting about America's love/hate relationship with Tim Tebow. Googling "Tim Tebow polarizing" produces a multitude of features, posts, opinions from people trying to understand why Tebow creates such an emotional divide among the American public.
I can understand why some Americans love him. He's obviously talented, nice-looking, possessing an "it" quality that attracts a multitude of attention.
And while I don't understand why somebody would hate the guy (he seems pretty nice), I do get why some Americans are annoyed by his presence. His actions often seem obnoxious, sometimes purposefully so, as if he's trying to add fuel to the angst that people already feel toward him.
But aren't a lot of athletes obnoxious, seemingly arrogant?
So does the Tebow love/hate thing come down to his faith? Is Tim's love for Jesus to blame for the American public who LOVES him and the American public who HATE him? Did Jesus really do that?
I'm not convinced. Lots of athletes praise God/Jesus for their skill. Lots of them donate their time to Christian charities. And lots of them are outspoken about how much they love Jesus.
And while those athletes probably have a few crazy fans and a few crazy haters, it's not a national pastime.
David Boclair of Nashville's City Paper pieces writes,
What sets Tebow apart is that he never stops talking about his faith.
Is that why people feel such passion–good and bad–when Tebow comes to mind?
Boclair seems to think so.
If he discussed chocolate chip cookies or puppy dogs or sunny days as often as he does religion, the backlash would be the same — regardless of how appropriate his priorities might be — because the vast majority of people in this country want their sports heroes to be athletes first. (Read the whole piece here.)
While I agree with a lot of Boclair's point, I do think that, being obnoxious about Jesus tends to create an even greater divide than what the topic of chocolate chip cookies might cause.
And let's face it, while Tebow's athleticism astounds and his clean-cut image is a nice change, sometimes his displays of Christianity are downright obnoxious. From the scripture verses painted underneath his eyes to all of his "Tebowing" (which has a Tumblr site dedicated to it AND a Twitter account…) to dropping the name of Jesus so much it almost seems in vain.
Expressing personal faith in a public setting is one thing (and usually a good thing), but when you do it all the time and to such extensive degrees, isn't it possible that "too much of a good thing" eventually backfires?
Should Tebow really be surprised when his faith gets turned into punch lines?
Again, I'm not saying that he should stop being vocal about his faith. But isn't it possible for one–even a famous one–to be passionate and outspoken about their love for Jesus and do it with humility? Isn't that how it's supposed to be done?
But while humility mixes well with a belief in Jesus, maybe it doesn't mix well with NFL football. And maybe it's difficult for Tebow to separate his love of God with his love of the game…
Then again, maybe Boclair is right…
Roughly a month ago, though, he was named Denver's starting quarterback and his team started to win — two in a row and three of four overall, to be exact as they enter Thursday's game against the New York Jets.
Suddenly the spotlight on him as a football player shines much brighter. His chance is now. If he proves he's a capable NFL quarterback, people will let him say whatever he wants — as often as he wants.
It might not be right. But it's reality.
For the most part, NFL winners can do what they want how they want to do it. And taking Jesus's name with you every time you throw a football into the end zone is one thing, but when your touchdown "kneel and pray" act gets its own #Hashtag, isn't that another thing altogether?
What do you think?
Tebow or not Tebow is a post from: Jesus Needs New PR

Baltimore, Md. – The UMBC softball team's trip around the beltway to take on local rival Towson on Wednesday afternoon has been reshedulued for next Thurs. March 8, due to rain. First pitch between the Retrievers and Tigers is still scheduled for 2 p.m.
UMBC and Towson have met 46 times through the years, with the Tigers holding a 28-18 series lead. The Retrievers' win last year broke a three-game win streak by Towson.
UMBC heads into the rivalry game with a 2-6 record, following a third place finish at the Charleston Southern Tournament. The Retrievers dropped all three round robin games before defeating Hampton, 14-9, in Sunday's consolation game.
Standout freshmen Taylor Hall (Cosby, Va./Cosby) has made a mark so far this season, including going 6-for-12, with three doubles and three RBI at last weekend's tournament in South Carolina. Her performance earned her the season's first America East Rookie of the Week honors.
Senior Katie Ferguson (North East, Md./North East/Cecil CC) has also been a key for the Retrievers in the early going, driving in three runs. She led the Retrievers in Sunday's win over Hampton, going for 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored.
Jessica Warner (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) has also performed well for the Retrievers, picking up 10 hits in 23 at bats (.435) so far. The sophomore leads the team with three extra base hits in 2012.

The Portland Mercury This quaint, sunny cantina with its array of religious iconography is like taking a mini vacation to Chiapas. The portions are very generous, and special menu items include the filling and delicious chicken enchilada casserole. Nice selection of beer & cocktails.
The Oregonian Newspaper- Cheap Eats: Que Pasa Cantina
Published: Friday, September 30, 2011. Que Pasa bills itself as Mexican comfort food, which is redundant for those of us who already consider Mexican food part of that category.
Still, what some comfort food lacks — color, spice, any trace of health value — Que Pasa's comida has in spades. With menu items such as chicken enchilada casserole, this is comfort food for those who embrace life in a society constantly juggling the concepts of pluralism and the melting pot.
The chow: The casserole mentioned above and the side option of Potatoes Ole best exemplify the Mexican comfort food aesthetic. The potatoes are mashed with carrots, sweet white corn, jalapenos, cheddar, jack and sour cream — and they're as good as they sound.
Two sides to consider are the homemade chips and salsa and the stuffed jalapenos. The chips are dusted with a mix of spices and come with three salsas — a salsa verde, a pico de gallo and a medium-hot habanero. The stuffed jalapenos will banish all memory of poppers from your mind with their light, crispy breading, and stuffing of goat cheese and chorizo.
As for main dishes, Antonio's Pastor Tacos burst with cumin and chili powder, and the pineapple salsa gives them a fresh, tropical flair. Some of the aperitivos, or starters, work as main courses. The corn and goat cheese quesadilla is creamy on the inside and crisp on the out. You can always add chicken if you feel it's lacking in protein. Que Pasa seems happy to accommodate your culinary peculiarities and will even spice only half your chips, if you ask.
Real deals: The chips are as good as what you'll get at ¿Por Que No?, and without the absurd wait. Get them with a large guacamole and three types of salsa.
Hangout factor: The patio is a great place to sit on a summer night, and the staff is genuinely friendly.
Liquids: Soda, Jarritos, homemade limonada or strawberry lemonade, Stumptown coffee or tea, Mexican hot chocolate, beer, margaritas.
What's half-baked? Not much. The chips might be too spicy for some, and the chicken enchilada casserole is a bit overpriced, but these are minor quibbles.
Inside tips: Happy hour goes until 6 p.m. every day, and because the restaurant opens at 3 on Saturdays, that means three hours of discounted food and beverages.

This article originally appears in The American Thinker
Hour by torturous hour, the news grows ever grimmer. An event unlike any other in modern industrialized history is taking place right before our eyes. The stories of individual heroism and mob cowardice are obscuring the real story – a story that simply cannot be told because the modern human mind is incapable of processing the images, the words, and the stories they're telling and make any kind of a coherent narrative or sense out of it.
It is quite simply beyond belief, beyond understanding, and beyond anything in our experience. No modern industrialized city has ever experienced anything like New Orleans is going through in the aftermath of Katrina.
Don't talk to me about London, Berlin, or Tokyo and the trials that those cities endured during World War II. There is nothing remotely to compare with what's happening to New Orleans. Those cities were destroyed relatively slowly over a period of years (Berlin and London) or months (Tokyo). But the Noahic flood that now engulfs more than 80% the Crescent City has subsumed not just buildings and people, it has washed away the thin veneer of civilization and brought to the surface behaviors and emotions more suited to the African savannas where modern Homo Sapiens first began to dominate the planet rather than the city streets where until just a few days ago, people were laughing, walking, singing, playing music – living.
What, after all, is civilization? At it's core, human civilization represents an agreement between people not to kill each other. The only way millions of strangers can live together in relative peace in big cities is by recognizing the unspoken agreement that when walking down the street and approaching someone you don't know, one refrains from the natural human impulse of fighting for your life. Usually, both parties are in agreement on this singular principal and the hundreds of encounters with strangers we have every day pass unnoticed amid the hustle and bustle of city life.
This is the compact of civilization. I won't kill you if you won't kill me. It's maintained by something even more tenuous; faith. Faith in the strictures an organized society places on people who break the compact as well as faith in the people and institutions who are charged with the task of enforcing those strictures. This shared community of faith works pretty well for all except the social misfits and anti-social galoots who prey upon the weak like predators in a jungle. For the rest of us, we form little islands of support in this larger community – neighbors, our church, our sports teams – which allows us the luxury of feeling less vulnerable to the predators, less alone amidst the millions of strangers.
But something has happened in New Orleans that is unprecedented. We've seen it happen on a smaller scale during other natural disasters. The looting, the anger, the despair was evident in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew in Florida. However, while the area damaged by Andrew may have been just as large as the swath of total destruction left by Katrina, Andrew never quite destroyed the spirit of community and shared faith which allowed Floridians to maintain a patina of civilization that kept them from lunging at each other's throats and descending to the level of animals whose only thought was of obeying the primal instinct present in all of us for self preservation.
Make no mistake. Unless something truly dramatic happens in the next 48 hours, the situation in New Orleans will degenerate into something heretofore seen only in refugee camps and places like Somalia. People will start forming themselves into mobs for protection. And those mobs will start fighting both the authorities and each other for scarce resources as people get hungrier and thirstier by the hour. We already have seen property owners setting up their own security patrols in sections of downtown. This is from a New Orleans blogger:
Since it's war out there, I figure it's time to go back to my military ways.
Camp Crystal is locked down for the night. Team SOTI (that's the crew up here) has broken up into 3 squads. Squad 1 is on diesel detail. Squad 2 is on patrol. Squad 3 is on service and support.
The Final Protective Line is Poydras Avenue. All avenues of approach are secure. Stand to is at 0600.
The cops were out in force on Poydras until just a few moments ago. Not sure what they were upto.
The blogger has a fairly clear picture as to what's happening on the ground:
I guess what I'm saying is there's no need to focus on us here, because we're gonna make do. We need to worry about preventing the city from consuming itself, because the looting is getting nuts, the waters are rising in many heretofor unflooded sections, and there's no timeline available for power, food, water, medicine and the like for the masses.
If you have any survival tips, feel free to toss in your input. I've got a lot of survival training, but we've never trained for the total collapse of civilization (or I should say, my only training in that regard was from a military perspective).
The "total collapse of civilization" is right around the corner and there's nothing really to stop it. The authorities first priority is to save the living. Since so many are stranded, trapped, injured, or lost – numbers that may be in the tens of thousands – this is a process that will take days. In the meantime, the flood waters keep rising, the dead go unattended, the looting is getting out of control, people in shelters are getting close to open revolt, and the chances for complete and utter chaos that would cost the lives of thousands of people grows hourly.
Something or someone must intervene to restore the one commodity that could head the chaos off at the pass and put the evil genie of anarchy back in the bottle. That one commodity is hope. Unless people have hope that things are eventually going to get better and get better quickly, they will succumb to the siren song of mobocracy and tear New Orleans to shreds. As it stands now, we're a hairsbreadth from open warfare in the streets. And if no one can step forward – the Mayor, the Governor, or even President Bush – and give the residents of New Orleans confidence in the future, people will look to their present circumstances and act accordingly.
That way lies madness.
I've been glued to this feed from WDSU in New Orleans. It's getting worse people. Water is still rising due to some confusion yesterday involving the Army Corps of Engineers and some Blackhawk helicopters that were supposed to drop huge, 3000 pound sandbags into the levee breach at 17th street in New Orleans. In fact, all day yesterday CNN and Fox were reporting that this was being done.
In fact, it was never done. Mayor Nagin reports that the copters were diverted to rescue up to 1000 people who were trapped by flood waters and had taken refuge in a church. They're going to try again today, but the Mayor is obviously frustrated. He has complained that "there are too many cooks" in the kitchen, obviously alluding to FEMA and other federal and state entities who are involved.
Two major situations need to be taken care of in the next 48 hours if New Orleans is to avoid the fate I write about above; the Superdome must be evacuated and the 17th Street levee must be plugged. The mayor reports that if that levee keeps emptying water into the city the entire city will be under at least 9 feet of water.
That's the entire city.
The problem with the Superdome is unbelievable. Evidently, guns and knives have been smuggled in and there have been 3 shootings in the last 12 hours. Unless those people are dispersed, the situation could get completely out of control and we'd have a war on our hands. That's why the Governor has ordered the evacuation. The problem is how do you get 20,000 people out of a flooded city?
We'll know more in the next 12 hours. As always, keep checking with Michelle Malkin for round-ups and breaking news.
The report from WDSU of shootings in the Superdome have not been confirmed by any other news organ. In fact, the station's own site doesn't mention any shooting incidents at the Dome either. The report came from an on-air interview with a reporter. He was obviously repeating a rumor he had heard.
I apologize for helping to spread that rumor and it points up the need for all of us to be careful about what is published.

Fourth of July fireworks may thrill you, down to your sandal-clad toes.
You adore the sparkles that go up, up, up, quickly, before fizzing in a glittery amorphous blob. You like the circular pyrotechnics, the fireworks that seems so perfectly round it's as if someone placed a cup on the sky and drew a perfect circle around the rim.
As for those fireworks that shimmer in red, white, and blue? It's like an illuminated Sousa march writ large across the stars.
The Scene
What to do, where to go and what to see
But sometimes a boomy night show isn't your jam, or, rather, you'd like to fold a few Independence Days to-dos into your schedule that are of the daytime (with one exception), fireworks-free assortment.
If this is your #current mood, then check out what's happening around Southern California this holiday weekend, and note that a few of the picks do happen before the Fourth of July, like...
Clifton's Canteen: Perhaps you've claimed before that you were born in the wrong decade. Perhaps you adore '40s tunes, and wish you could return, for a minute, to a USO-style canteen to hear singers perform live. You can, on Sunday, July 2, at the downtown cafeteria. If you have something with shoulder pads, or seamed stockings, wear it and get into the literal swing of things. Note: This is a ticketed event and it is in the evening.
The Great American 4K Run/Walk & Bike Parade: It's a sweet Long Beach tradition, one that happens on the morning of July 4, and it involves a caboodle of kids cycling along while showing off their patriotic colors (both on the bike and as part of their outfit, too). Adults join in the bike fun, and the run, and it all happens at 10 a.m. on the Fourth of July at 1 Granada Avenue.
Will Geer's Theatricum Botanicum: Don't fret that the holiday may pass you by without the opportunity to participate in nostalgic pursuits like water-balloon tossing, the throwing of horseshoes, and pie-eating contests; this Topanga gem has you covered. There's a cake walk, too, hooray, and, a barn dance to boot (again, literally). In fact, that's the name of the event: The 4th of July Family Barn Dance. And it happens on July 4, too.
The International Printing Museum: You may not have the phone numbers for Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, or John Adams, nor can you figure out how to @ them, but no worries: They'll be stopping by this Carson destination for an afternoon of historical revelries, courtesy of The Confounding Brothers. There are three July 1 performances, and tickets are still available for the 1 p.m. and the 3 o'clock.
Pink's Hot Dogs and the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills: The stylish stay-over spot is inviting the iconic hot-doggery to its Windows Lounge for two days of delicious hot dog toppery in a "festive, patriotic-themed setting." The dates for this salute to Pink's and this holiday fun time? Mark Saturday, July 1 and Sunday, July 2 on the calendar. As if you need more reason to go, there's an ice cream station and an apple pie station in the works, too.

BooneOakley has one rule: Craft great work for people we like. We don't see our clients as clients. We see them as partners. And they see us as part of their internal marketing team. Collaborative relationships are fun. And when you're having fun, great ideas happen. After all, we are all working toward the same goal. Innovative work and incredible results.
Everybody makes mistakes. We started our agency with one. In October 2000, the very first ad BooneOakley produced made international news for being one of the biggest blunders in advertising history. When the "Bush-Gore" billboard went up, we became a laughing stock. How could an agency be so stupid? (For us it was easy.) Our little "screw-up" landed us as the lead story on cnn.com and got our first client, 123hire.com, coverage on Good Morning America, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and seemingly every blog in the world. It was fantastic for 123hire.com. It wasn't bad for us either. It's not the way most people would start a business. But we're not most people.
Bold innovative ideas have been a part of our DNA from the start. Ideas that help brands become a part of culture. Ideas that get noticed, talked about and shared. Ideas that help brands define and own their own category. Ideas that help brands claim the space that they were meant for. Ideas that help brands emerge.
Accolades include: Ad Age's "Southeast Small Agency of the Year," Google's "Creative Canvas" and One Club's "Best of the Digital Decade."

Aara is an online business specialising in black abayas for casual, everyday and occasion wear. I was sent the 2 Shades Of Black abaya to review.
Before the abaya even arrived, I was impressed by the customer service at Aara. Customers are given the option of tracking their orders online, and delivery is very quick. Inside the postage box, the abaya and a matching rectangular sheyla hijab were presented inside a black 'Aara Womenswear' bag, and wrapped in yellow tissue paper.
The fabric of the abaya is a Japanese crepe, which is slightly textured, so it does not cling at all. The front of the abaya at the bottom is made up of a cut of black satin which starts on the right hand side just below the hip, and cuts diagonally to about mid-calf. The ends of the sleeves are similarly overlayed with satin about a quarter of the way down.
The hijab though comes in a much softer fabric and has an almost velvety feel to it, and matches the abaya with a satin trim on one corner.
The Aara website provides a detailed size guide which I followed carefully. I found the sizing to be quite generous, but still tailored at the shoulders and arms, which is pretty much essential to making any abaya look well-fitting. At 5'3, pretty much everything is too long for me, and this abaya was no different. However, Aara do offer a very affordable alteration service on their website.
The abaya is a slip-on with a simple popper fastening at the front, in the centre of the neckline. In terms of movement and practicality, the abaya is very comfortable and easy to walk in, and doesn't crease easily either. The satin makes the abaya a little heavy, so I personally feel this is more suited to colder months.
I did attempt to take a few full-length images of the abaya, but it pretty much defeated the point as it was difficult to get the different fabrics to show up in a photo.
Despite the satin, the design is a little plain, but would make an ideal everyday abaya to which you could add almost any hijab or accessories. Overall, Aara abayas are elegant, practical and affordable, and the customer service is excellent.
With a large number of websites now catering to the traditional abaya market, it is hard to know which companies are reliable, but this would definitely be one of them. Regards the website though, the images provided really don't do the abayas justice, so would love to see more detailed and 'real life' images of the products.
Disclaimer: I received this abaya in exchange for my honest review. The opinions and thoughts expressed are my own and I received no other compensation for my review.

May it's time to grab a copy of PC Magazine from the nearest newsstand and preserve that for our grand-children.
That's because the popular computer magazine is shutting down their print edition and Jan 2009 will be the last issue. The website and digital edition of PC Magazine will however continue to exist as they are extremely profitable ventures.
And did you notice the top headline of a column by John Dvorak – it can't get more ironic that that.

Q: What is a Fugitive Recovery Agent ?
A: A Fugitive Recovery Agent is a person hired or contracted by a Bail Bond Company or Surety to act as their Agent for the purpose of locating and apprehending a Fugitive that has failed to appear in court or has otherwise violated the Bail Bond Contract or Release Conditions. Fugitive Recovery Agents are sometimes referred to as Bail Enforcement Agents or Bounty Hunters.
Q: Where do Fugitive Recovery Agents derive their arrest authority ?
A: Below is Text from the U.S. Supreme Court Ruling in Taylor v. Taintor, 16 Wall (83 U.S. 366, 21 L. Ed 287)
"When bail is given, the principal is regarded as delivered to the custody of his sureties. Their dominion is a continuance of the original imprisonment. Whenever they choose to do so, they may seize him and deliver him up in their discharge; and if that cannot be done at once, they may imprison him until it can be done. They may exercise their rights in person or by agent. They may pursue him into another State; may arrest him on the Sabbath; and if necessary, may break and enter his house for that purpose. The seizure is not made by virtue of new process. None is needed. It is likened to the rearrest by the sheriff of an escaping prisoner"
Note: Some States regulate the way in which a Surety or his Fugitive Recovery Agent may apprehend a Fugitive. Please visit the members area for information concerning local regulations. Moreover, Fugitive Recovery Agents do not have authority to apprehend fugitives that have fled to a foreign country, however they may skip trace the fugitive and liaise with local authorities to effect an arrest when necessary.
Q: Does the National Association of Fugitive Recovery Agents require completion of a training program ?
A: No, we do not require completion of a training program in order to Register. However, it is paramount that anyone working as a Fugitive Recovery Agent understand the legal framework under which they operate, particularly the regulations or practices in the area in which they operate, not to mention the safety considerations, tactical and investigate aspects of the profession. For this reason we recommend that anyone entering the profession seek a reputable training provider. The Apprentice Program was developed for the purpose of connecting new and inexperienced members with an experienced Fugitive Recovery Agent in their area for further training and mentoring.

A: No, Certification is not required to register. NAFRA certification is optional and is offered to members that wish to complete the exam and obtain certification as part of their professional development.
Q: Do Fugitive Recovery Agents carry Badges & Wear Tactical Gear ?
A: This falls under "local regulations or practices" so there is no blanket answer that applies Nationally, i.e. Pennsylvania tends to be liberal concerning the use of Badges by Fugitive Recovery Agents, while Connecticut specifies the Badge in which Fugitive Recovery (Bail Enforcement) Agents carry. This is another example of why understanding the Legal Framework, local regulations and practices is paramount.
Q: Does the National Association of Fugitive Recovery Agents offer Badges ?
A: No, because regulations & practices are not consistent at the National Level we do not offer Badges. However, we do offer the NAFRA Registered Fugitive Recovery Agent Photo ID Card to all members. Registered Fugitive Recovery Agents carry this Photo ID and often wear it in plain view while working for quick identification, many also carry or wear it in conjunction with a Badge they purchased from a Fugitive Recovery Supply Store. Smith & Warren offers custom designed badges, however we recommend that you check your state regulations concerning badges before purchasing any badge.
Q: What's the difference between the Registered Fugitive Recovery Agent Photo ID Card issued by the National Association of Fugitive Recovery Agents and the Generic ID Cards sold at online stores ?
A: The Generic Fugitive Recovery Agent Photo ID Cards sold at online stores are a "Novelty" , similar to the "Press", "Navy Seal", "CIA" or other gag ID's sold online, they are not issued by a bona fide third party organization and a legitimate professional would not carry such a Card.
The photo card issued by the National Association of Fugitive Recovery Agents is designed similar to Drivers License quality, it can be verified by contacting the NAFRA, it contains the NAFRA Seal,photo, physical description, issue/expiration date, a registration number and corresponding bar code. This Photo ID Card verifies that a Fugitive Recovery Agent is Registered with the National Association and is subject to our code of ethics and complaints or violations are investigated by our professional standards unit.
Q: I'm trying to get into the Fugitive Recovery profession, what do I need to know ?
A: The first thing you need to know is that this business isn't for everyone, it can be challenging and risky at times. This is a for profit business and in order to be successful and profitable you have to approach it as a business. This is also a relationship business, you will need to work hard and prove yourself if you want to build the relationships necessary to make it in this industry. Your best chance at getting a start in this business is finding a mentor that's willing to take you on, the Apprentice Program which allows a prospective Apprentice to join the Association and have a listing in SkipNet is the best possible way to get the exposure you need to get your foot in the door.
Q: What can I expect to earn working as a Fugitive Recovery Agent ?
A: Because this profession is primarily commission based with most agents earning a percentage of the Bond, there's no way to estimate what someone might earn, skill level and area of operation will play a big role in this. The "How To Become A Bounty Hunter" site has developed a chart with information about salary for Fugitive Recovery Agents.

Also, anyone that has had their membership revoked in the past must obtain special approval.
Q: How do Fugitive Recovery Agents get paid ?
A: While some Bail Bond Companies have "in house" Fugitive Recovery Agents on their payroll, the vast majority of Fugitive Recovery Agents operate as independent contractors and are paid a commission of between 10% and 25% of the Bond, they are not considered employees of the association or the bail bond companies they provide services to and are generally issued an IRS Form 1099 by the payor for payments they receive.
Q: Can registering with the NAFRA help me to get Fugitive Recovery assignments ?
A: Yes, being registered gives you National exposure in that Bail Bond Companies from across the country contact us looking for assistance in locating Fugitive Recovery Agents. This normally happens when they have a Fugitive that has fled to another city or state and they need the services of a Fugitive Recovery Agent outside of their own area. Licensed bail bond companies are eligible to use the SkipNet service to search the directory to locate member Fugitive Recovery Agents in any area.
Q: Why doesn't the NAFRA make SkipNet available to the public ?
A: Given the nature of this profession we consider information regarding our members to be sensitive, these professionals often deal with dangerous people and situations so we consider protection of their privacy to be paramount. There are also issues with unwanted solicitations, spammers and scammers misusing contact information. Therefore, contact information is provided on a need to know basis through SkipNet, and in some cases through member services.
Q: What is the best way to contact the NAFRA ? and how long does it take to receive a reply ?
A: The best way to contact the NAFRA is by email through our contact form. We receive numerous emails, letters and telephone calls each day.
