SHEN YUN PERFORMING ARTS. Au-

diences who have seen it recall the experi-

ence of a lifetime; a moment so powerfully

beautiful, it touches the soul.

Shen Yun presents colorful and ex-

hilarating performances of classical Chi-

nese dance and music. A performance by

Shen Yun is a presentation of traditional

Chinese culture as it once was: a study in

grace, wisdom, and the virtues distilled

from the five millennia of Chinese civi-

lization.

Every year, Shen Yun unveils an en-

tirely new lineup of dances, songs, and

musical scores. At the core of Shen Yun’s

performances is classical Chinese dance,

with China’s numerous ethnic and folk

dance styles rounding out the evening.

In a collection of short pieces, audi-

ences travel from the Himalayas to trop-

ical lake-filled regions, from the legends

of the culture’s creation over 5,000 years

ago to the story of Falun Dafa in China

today, from the highest heavens down to

the dusty plateaus of the Middle King-

dom.

During a single performance, Shen

Yun transports audiences across time and

space, offering a cross-cultural experi-

ence that not only entertains, but more

broadly, educates and inspires. After

seeing the show, one audience member

marveled, “This production ... is nothing

short of a miracle!”

Classical Chinese dance—an art form tempered over thousands of yearsClassical Chinese dance is one of

the most demanding and expressive

art forms in the world. Grounded

in 5,000 years of divinely inspired

culture, classical Chinese dance

entails systematic training in move-

ments and postures, as well as

very difficult leaps, flips, spins and

other tumbling techniques. Richly

expressive, it portrays personalities

and feelings with unparalleled clar-

ity, making classical Chinese dance

ideal for storytelling.

Built on traditional aesthetics,

classical Chinese dance was once

passed down among the people,

in imperial courts and ancient

plays. Over thousands of years,

it was constantly refined, eventu-

ally developing into the vast and

distinctly Chinese dance form we

know today.

Shen Yun—Nothing short of a miracle...

1Lift safety: Going down?

Council members say city’s elevators standards too slack New York elevator mechanicsnot required to be licensed 36 other states require licensing, seen a reduction in accidentsNearly four months to the dayafter a woman heading intowork was crushed to death inan elevator, Council memberswill push to strengthen eleva-tor safety at a hearing today,arguing that, despite an inves-tigation into the gruesomedeath, many city elevators arestill not safe enough.

A Housing and Buildingscommittee hearing will focuson two city bills, both proposedafter advertising executiveSuzanne Hart, 41, died on Dec.14 when an elevator in her Mid-town office shot up suddenly.Hart was killed when her bodybecame stuck between the ele-vator doors and the wall.

The incident frayed nervesaround the city, where mil-lions start their day by step-ping into an elevator.

A subsequent Departmentof Buildings investigation af-ter her death revealed thatNew York elevator mechanics

are not required to be li-censed.

“If plumbers and electri-cians are required to be li-censed to work in New York, itstands to reason that elevatorworkers should be licensed aswell,” Bronx CouncilmanJames Vacca said. “That licens-ing has not happened to dateis a major omission that wemust rectify.”

New York is rare in notmandating the licenses, some-thing 36 other states require,according to the Council. Vac-ca, along with Queens Council-man Peter Vallone, sponsored abill requiring licensing of eleva-tor technicians. Councilspokeswoman Robin Levinesaid that in states where eleva-tor mechanics must be li-censed, there is a 25 percentreduction in lift accidents.

New Yorkers want police to do more to stop speedersNEW YORK. It’s confirmed: MostNew Yorkers don’t think theNYPD is doing enough to com-bat speeding in theirneighborhoods.

Last week, TransportationAlternatives partnered withMetro to ask our readers: Doyou believe the police are do-ing enough to curb speedingin your neighborhood? Read-ers texted their answers witha “yes” or “no” response.

The survey received 258 re-sponses: Just 21 people saidyes, while 237 said the NYPDis not doing nearly enough tocombat speeding. “Speeding

kills — it’s the No. 1contributing factor in fatalmotor vehicle crashes in NewYork City,” said Paul SteelyWhite, director of Transporta-tion Alternatives. METRO/CB

Police: Anarchists try tosmash Starbucks windowsEAST VILLAGE. Three menpolice suspect were associatedwith an anarchist movement,and one who is a member ofOccupy Wall Street, tried tosmash in the windows of theStarbucks at Astor Place onSaturday.

According to police, themen were part of a largerpack of 25 people who triedto use 8-foot metal pipes tobreak the windows of the cof-fee shop. Terrified patrons hidunder the tables.

The men attended an anar-chist book fair earlier, said po-lice, and took to the streets,

chanting “All pigs must die.”While police told Metro

they were unsure if the anar-chists were associated withOWS, Alexander Penley, oneof the men arrested in theStarbucks attack, has been fre-quently quoted as a memberof Occupy. METRO/CB

13-year-oldkilled on bikeBATH BEACH. A 13-year-oldboy was struck and killedby a car Saturday whileriding his bike. HenryGarcia, a resident of 78thStreet in the Bath Beachsection of Brooklyn, washit just before 3 p.m. Sat-urday. The child hadbeen riding his bikenorthbound on 20th Av-enue when he fell off thebike. A green FordExplorer, also travelingnorthbound on 20th Av-enue, hit him and fledthe scene. METRO/CB

SafetydevicesproposedNEW YORK. Another bill,sponsored by Housing andBuildings chair and Brook-lyn Councilman Erik Mar-tin Dilan, would require

residential and mixed-usebuildings to install safetydevices that prevent carsfrom striking the top of ele-vator shafts, in case theysuddenly accelerate.

In Hart’s case, an investi-gation found that her eleva-tor was missing a crucialsafety device, which wouldhave prevented it from sud-denly accelerating. METRO

“New Yorkers needto know that theelevators they useare safe andmaintained toensure they’re upto the highestsafety standards.”COUNCILMAN ERIK MARTIN DILAN

QuotedOther accidents

The city has recorded otherelevator accidents sinceSuzanne Hart’s death.

In March, an elevatorplunged six stories in theBronx when two ropessnapped, injuring a 17-year-old who was inside.Also in March, an elevator

mechanic was fatally electro-cuted while he was conduct-ing maintenance inside theMidtown building where heworked.After Hart’s death, a Depart-ment of Buildings investiga-tion blamed maintenancework, saying that during re-pairs that morning, a safetydevice on the elevator wasdisabled, allowing the eleva-tor to rise with its door open.

New York is a rarity in that it does not require elevator mechanics to be licensed.

Push for crackdown on pharmacy theftTwo days after a deadly phar-macy robbery occurred in EastHarlem, Sen. Charles Schumersaid Saturday that criminalswho rob pharmacies shouldface much tougher punish-ments.

Schumer pushed legislatorsto vote for the proposed SafeDoses Act, federal legislationwhich would toughen penal-ties for people who rob phar-macies. The bill would also cre-ate a new crime category forthe theft of medical products.

“We need to make the mes-sage loud and clear — if yourob a pharmacy, you will becaught and you will be pun-ished severely,” Schumer said.“As we have seen time andtime again with drug storerobberies, these criminals areviolent, repeat offenders, andwe need to keep them off thestreets for as long as possible."

Schumer, who representsNew York in the U.S. Senate,made his remarks two days af-ter police killed a man whotried to rob a pharmacy inEast Harlem on Thursday.

That robbery was just thelatest in an alarming string ofviolent thefts at drug stores in

the past year, including onelast year in Long Island wheretwo pharmacy employees andtwo shoppers were shot andkilled. In that crime, David Laf-fer was sentenced to consecu-tive life sentences in prison.

Earlier in 2011, anotherLong Island pharmacy wasrobbed, and that time, an off-duty federal agent was killedwhile trying to prevent thetheft. The man robbing the

pharmacy had robbed at leastthree drug stores between1990 and 2000, Schumer said.

In Thursday’s shooting, thesuspect was linked to four oth-er pharmacy robberies in EastHarlem, as well as a shootingin Georgia.

The legislation awaits afull vote in the U.S. Senate.

On a Thursday nightinside the Atrium,an indoor publicspace with a feweateries at 60 Wall

St. where drifters often takerefuge, a small group of Occu-py Wall Street protestersplans its next move. This isthe current state of the Gener-al Assembly, a collection ofpeople that was once so largeit needed to use a “human mi-crophone” technique to makesure an entire crowd couldhear the message of onespeaker.

After the NYPD’s contro-versial eviction of ZuccottiPark in the early morninghours of Nov. 15, the move-ment began slowly shrinkingand slipping from headlines,and approval dwindled withit. The most recent poll onpublic support for OWS wasconducted by Rasmussen Re-ports in January — 51 percentof voters viewed protesters asa public nuisance at thatpoint.

Now the movement fightsfor momentum and strugglesfor the same attention, asmany are becoming increas-ingly detached, or simply fedup with the happenings ofOccupy.

Protesters insist, though,that is about to change onMay 1.

Occupiers have dubbed“May Day” a spring day of ac-tion, or rather, inaction. Pro-testers will encourage peopleto participate in a generalstrike, meaning no work, no

school and no shopping. Ac-tivists are in motion now, try-ing to drum up support for aday that could prove key torevitalizing the movement.

“May 1 is going to be a mo-

ment where a growing largenumber of people will havethe opportunity to realizewhat this country looks likewhen the 99 percent stand upand speak up and take a mo-ment to reflect on where weare as a country,” said JustinWedes, a protester who be-longs to the movement’s me-dia working group.

But will that day of actiondo anything to recapture thecommitment, attention andpassion once owned by themovement, especially now asprotesters are without a pub-lic space to set up camp?

It’s not impossible, but itwon’t be easy, some say.

“It remains up to the cre-ativity and tenacity of theleadership of the movement,”said David Birdsell, a politicalscience professor at BaruchCollege, who believes the fu-ture of Occupy will take newshapes. “There could be puck-ish digital attacks, occupyingwebsites.”

If May Day proves a flop,Occupy will have to scrambleto find new ways to reachpeople.

Birdsell suggested OWSuse new tactics to garnernews headlines again.

“Occupy art, occupy flashmobs, there are all kind ofthings they could do to rekin-dle attention,” he said.

OWS trying to thrust itself back onto the country’s radarBut without Zuccotti, is anyone listening?

Protesters now taken to camping out on Wall StreetInternal bickering over money may threaten movement’s resurgence

WITH METRO’SCASSANDRAGARRISON

WILL THEYRECLAIM THESPOTLIGHT?

We asked three members of Occupy Wall Street their thoughts on the movement and what they’vebeen up to since the Nov. 15 eviction of Zuccotti:

Justin Wedes,member ofthe OWS me-dia workinggroup“I think what

they are trying to do is in-timidate and silence Occu-py so we won’t evenattempt to make our voicesheard. It will have the oppo-site effect. It will only em-bolden us more.”

LiesbethRapp, protester“Since theeviction,there has not

been a central meetingplace. We have had tostrengthen and form newnetworks of support, find-ing new livingarrangements and new

ways to sustain ourselves.But we support each other,we’re strong, and we’regood at getting by with lim-ited resources, particularlyfor a cause to which we areso dedicated.”

Kanene Holder, protester“I main -tained an ac-tive Occupy

life through the winter,strategizing and focusingmore on artistic andcomedic forms of protest toengage and recruit. We arenot fair-weather occupiers... We occupy time andspace, hearts and minds.We are not confined to apark, we are as ubiquitousas the problems of this bro-ken system.”

07NYC’S #1 FREE DAILY MONDAY, APRIL 16, 2012

At its peak in November 2011,OWS had pockets so deep, itset up a nonprofit to controlthe estimated more than$500,000 it had accumulated,mostly through donationsfrom supporters.

Today, though, protestersadmit funding has become in-creasingly complex and diffi-cult to track, especially trou-bling for a movement thatboasts transparency. Part ofthat, they say, is because of theunorganized structure that hasbeen the common theme ofthe movement since the begin-ning. While working groupsare assigned to focus on specif-ic tasks, there are often no ap-pointed leaders or writtenrecords — and accounting is noexception.

There are rumblings withinthe movement that sloppy ac-counting has led to the open-ing of bank accounts that arevulnerable to theft. One pro-tester who wished to remainanonymous told Metro that afew people who are in controlof funds are suspected of steal-ing about $25,000 a monthfrom the movement.

Metro found in its report-ing that protesters could notgive clear answers about howmuch money the movementhas or where it is delegated,largely because most expensereports go unposted, leadingto a virtually nonexistent pa-per trail.

“Access to financial infor-mation is tightly controlled bya small group who refuse to

show any meaningful financialrecords,” said MonicaMcLaughlin, a member of oneof several OWS accountingcommittees. “Because of theseopaque controls, no one out-side of this small group knowsthe exact dollar amounts of do-nations taken in since Septem-ber, exactly how many bank ac-counts there are or what themoney has been spent on.”

There are several websitesand forums for OWS account-ing, some of which have notbeen updated in months. Onerecent discussion thread on theNew York City General Assem-bly’s website indicates someprotesters are making effortsto increase transparency by set-ting guidelines for turning inbank statements and receipts.

Protestersback andsleepingon Wall St.The number of protesterssleeping on the sidewalks ofWall Street has steadilygrown over the past fewnights.

Police told Metro yester-day there are now about 80protesters sleeping acrossthe street from the NewYork Stock Exchange, onNassau Street.

Sleeping as a form ofprotest is protected by law,as long as half the sidewalkis still accessible to pedes-trians.

Police said that as longas protesters don’t blockthe sidewalk or erect tents,

cardboard boxes or otherstructures they can stay.Yesterday, police asked pro-testers to erase what theyhad written in chalk on thesidewalk, saying it’s againstcity code. A fight was alsobroken up over the week-end at the site, cops said.

“We are sleeping acrossfrom the NYSE to symbolizethe loss of homes in the fore-closure crisis brought on byWall Street practices,” saidprotester Martin Bisi. “Werepresent these homeless.”

Occupy members vowtheir sleepout will get big-ger as the weather warms.

News

Has OWSinfluencedpolicy?OWS protesters say their move-ment has changed the politicalconversation, and indeedmany Democratic politicians,ranging from the New YorkCity Council to members ofCongress, have co-opted Occu-py Wall Street’s popular “Weare the 99 percent” mantra.

But Occupy Wall Street hasyet to make a tangibledifference in policy-making,WNYC’s political analyst JoycePurnick argues.

Purnick, a former New YorkTimes metro reporter and au-thor of “Mike Bloomberg: Mon-ey, Power, Politics,” said unliketheir counterpart the Tea Party,Occupy Wall Street has not suc-ceeded in electing candidatesto Congress or to other politi-cal offices.

For a movement that boldlydeclares it supports no politicalparty or leader, making visiblechange within the system hasproven challenging.

And, while events like MayDay may offer a boost ofmomentum, it may not trans-late into real change, shewarned.

“You have to be able to havea political impact and knowhow to have an influence onthe political establishment,”Purnick said. “I think they canonly go so far.”

Internal conflict is brewingover Occupy’s purse strings

In a sign of healing amidseveral days of vigils and re-membrances in Blacksburg,Va., the school for the firsttime will hold classes on theanniversary of the April 16,2007, shooting, officials said.

“Being back in the class-room this year I think is an im-portant step forward,” said uni-versity spokesman Mark Ow-czarski. “Because that’s whatwe do, that’s what this commu-nity does.”

Virginia Gov. Bob McDon-nell ordered a statewide mo-ment of silence be held onMonday at 9:43 a.m., the timeof the shooting in the class-room building.

The 2007 Virginia Tech inci-dent stands out among suchtragedies. Besides the numberof victims, there is continued

debate about whether universi-ty officials took too long to no-tify students and faculty abouttwo killings on campus hoursbefore a mentally ill studentgunman took 30 more lives.REUTERS

Heavy explosions, rocketsand gunfire rattled Kabul yes-terday as Afghanistan’s Tal-iban launched a “spring of-fensive” with multiple at-tacks targeting Western em-bassies, the NATO force’sheadquarters and the parlia-ment building.

The assault, one of themost serious on the capitalsince U.S.-backed Afghanforces removed the Talibanfrom power in 2001, high-lighted the ability of mili-tants to strike the heavilyguarded diplomatic zoneeven after more than 10 yearsof war.

It was also another elec-tion-year setback inAfghanistan for U.S. PresidentBarack Obama, who wants topresent the long campaignagainst the Taliban as a suc-cess before the departure ofmost foreign combat troopsby the end of 2014.

“These attacks are the be-ginning of the spring offensiveand we had planned them formonths,” Taliban spokesmanZabihullah Mujahid toldReuters.

He said the onslaught wasrevenge for a series of inci-dents involving Americantroops in Afghanistan — in-cluding the burning of Koransat a NATO base and the mas-sacre of 17 civilians by a U.S.soldier — and vowed that therewould be more such attacks.

Heavy fighting eruptedagain more than five hours af-ter the Taliban first struck, asdusk was falling over the capi-tal and as mosques were issu-ing calls to prayer. REUTERS

Five killed astornadoes hit

OKLAHOMA CITY. Dozens oftornadoes tore through partsof Oklahoma, Kansas,Nebraska and Iowaovernight and one twisterkilled at least five peopleearly yesterday as stormsirens failed to sound in anOklahoma town and caughtpeople unaware.

Storms skipped acrosswhat is often called “Torna-do Alley” in the U.S. Centraland Southern Plains andmore were forecast. But ca-sualties appeared limited be-cause many of the twistershit sparsely populated areas,and during daylight hours orevening when people werestill awake.

In Oklahoma, a twisterstruck the northwest city ofWoodward early on yester-day morning after lightningapparently disabled its stormwarning system, Mayor

Roscoe Hill said.Two children died at the

Hide A Way mobile homepark on the west side ofWoodward, a town of 12,000people, while two adultswere killed in a small com-munity just outside the citylimits, Hill said. Details ofthe fifth death were not im-mediately known, accordingto Keli Cain, spokeswomanfor Oklahoma EmergencyManagement.

“This thing took us bysurprise,” Hill said, addingstorm sirens had not sound-

NRA: Don’t rush tojudgement overZimmerman caseSAINT LOUIS. Gun-rightsactivists at a National RifleAssociation convention saidthat protesters who demand-ed the arrest of George Zim-merman for the shootingdeath of unarmed teenagerTrayvon Martin were ignor-

ing the U.S. legal principle ofinnocent until proven guilty.

They said the protestersand the media had rushed tojudge Zimmerman, a whiteand Hispanic neighborhoodwatch volunteer, as guilty inthe death of 17-year-old Mar-tin, who was black, withouthaving been convicted.

“I wish all those folksdemonstrating and makingthe inflammatory statementswould keep their powderdry,” said Owen Mills, anNRA board member, whoruns a firearms training facil-ity in Paulden, Ariz. Millssaid he was not speaking forthe NRA as an organization.

Martin’s shooting in Feb-ruary sparked a national de-bate about “Stand YourGround” laws permitting theuse of deadly force in self-de-fense. The laws, which havebeen enacted in more than20 states, are stronglybacked by the NRA.

After days of protests, aspecial prosecutor wasappointed to take over thecase.

This week, she chargedZimmerman with second-de-gree murder. REUTERS

On a still, starry night andwith little glare from themoon, the memorial cruiseship MS Balmoral floatedabove the wreckage of the fa-mous ‘unsinkable’ luxury lin-er precisely 100 years to theday it foundered.

“At 2:20 a.m. all was quiet,as it would have been 100 yearsago when it went deathly quiet,when the screaming stopped,”

British Titanic historian PhilipLittlejohn told Reuters yester-day. Littlejohn’s grandfather,Alexander Littlejohn, was a 1stclass steward in charge oflifeboat 13 when the ship be-gan to go down.

With so much of our interac-tions taking place online,there’s no better way to cap-ture what events make up ourlives than through our socialmedia accounts. Intel’s newapp, “What About Me?,” takesthe information from yourFacebook, Twitter andGoogle+ profiles and com-bines it into an infographicthat reveals what you talkabout during your day.

“We know Facebook is acommon user experience forpeople who like social mediabut we weren’t convinced thatpeople had a snapshot of whothey talked to, what theytalked about, when they liked

to be online, and where theyconnected with their friends,”Laurie J. Koehler, consumercampaigns activation manag-er for Intel, told Metro. “Whatif we could provide users witha picture of their digital lifeand give them a “poster” oftheir online engagements?That was our goal: Create aninfographic that would be auseful tool and a repeatableexperience.”

Intel had previously dab-bled with a similar concept fortheir award-winning app,“The Museum of Me.” Usersconnected their accounts tocreate a virtual display of theirmost liked and commented

videos, photos and comments.For better or worse, peoplewere exposed to their favoritemoments with friends andsome painful memories withex-lovers that they wouldrather forget.

While there are similari-ties between the two apps,“What About Me” focusesmore on analyzing user datausing API or application pro-gramming interface, a sourcecode based “language” that

helps software companiescommunicate. Instead of justshowing media the personshared on their accounts, itdisplays a fuller picture of auser’s digital footprintthrough an infographic. Youcan see what time you accesssocial media the most, whattopics you talk about andwhether you like sharinglinks or posting items you dis-covered on your own.

“Social media has created aunique desire from people towant to know more abouteverything — from easysearches on key pieces of in-formation (like what moviesare coming out this weekend)

to how to reach out to friends(they haven’t talked to sincehigh school) to sharing theircurrent life goals (what I wantto be when I grow up has beenreplaced by photos of my fa-vorite things),” Koehler said.

Koehler added that theproblem is we share so muchthat we forget what we’vesaid. Not only does the app“gift wrap” our entire socialmedia experience, it makes iteasier to figure out if you likethe image you’re portrayingonline.

Koehler believes people’sinterest in apps like thismean we actually caredeeply about the rest of theworld and what they think. “Their massive amount ofonline conversationsdemonstrate a profound

desire to gather information,share problem-solvingtechniques, and reachgeographic locations theironly used to dream about,”she explains. “The Internetnow allows us to reach pastwhat used to be our‘backyard’ to anywhere weneed to be to make adifference.”

After a week in whichRepublicans turnedDemocrats’ rhetori-cal “War on Women”around on them by

shifting the debate from theright-wing’s ubiquitous anti-women policies into a battleover lefties’ alleged disdain forworking mothers, we thoughtmaybe this election battle hadplayed itself out.

We weren’t the only ones.

Slate’s Dave Weigel called it forthe talking point: “The ‘War onWomen’ is over,” he wrote. (On-line, at least, women appearedthankful for that.) The Wash-ington Post was less jury, morejudge: “Dear media: Stop play-ing along with fake controver-sies,” they instructed.

It’s almost as if they’d neverbeen through a presidentialcampaign before!

Alas, neither side of this fra-cas was inclined to obey the or-ders. Yes, much like our otherlegacy entanglements — think:War on Terror, War on Drugs,War in Afghanistan — this so-called war seems intent onplaying itself out indefinitely.

Treasury Secretary TimothyGeithner went on ABC yester-day to attack Mitt Romney’s ar-gument that the president’seconomic policies have unfairlyaffected women. “It’s a ridicu-lous argument,” he said. “It’sbeen largely debunked.”

See, Romney keeps saying

that “92.3 percent of the joblosses during the Obama yearshave been women.” This is sortof true, but also not at all:While many have lost theirjobs in the recession, Obama’sstimulus saved many more.And while Republicans opposeany and all stimulus, more gov-ernment spending could havesaved still more. (And if it’s truethat the government reactionto the 2008 mortgage crisisspawned “The Obama GreatFailed Recovery,” as conserva-tive blog Legal Insurrection andmany others allege, what wasthe GOP counteroption? Taxcuts for the rich? Deregulation?Would those help women?)

Even Fox News Sundaysaw a discrepancy inthe Romney claim.Host Chris Wallacecalled the figure a “lit-

tle bit of an accounting trick,”saying “all the independentfact-finders have said it’s mis-

leading.” Romney adviser EdGillespie shot back: Those were“liberal economists.”

The big get in the mommyskirmishes came this weekendfrom NBC’s Chris Hayes, whofound video of Romney arguingin January that poor stay-at-home moms ought to get a jobso that they can “have the dig-nity of work.” This paints atelling contrast from the cam-paign’s manufactured outrageafter unaffiliated Democrat op-erative Hilary Rosen said AnnRomney had not “worked a dayin her life.” The Romney campmobilized, using the incidentto paint Dems as anti-mom;Romney adviser Eric Fehrn-strom, for instance, called it the“‘kill Ann’ strategy.”

So which is it, Romneys? Is“stay-at-home mom” a respect-ful signifier? Or does it imply alack of dignity?

Our moms are waiting.

And the moms fight on

Greta Gerwig is trying to find apicture of Diane Keaton on heriPhone.

“I like the way her hair is,”she says with her eyes still fo-cused intently on the screen inher hand. “I always get over-done for events and so I’m try-ing to look myself. I wanted tofind a good example of DianeKeaton hair because she justhad simple hair. It was neverlike, ‘wooosh,’” she says, mak-

ing a big sweeping motion overher head.

As one might guess, spend-ing time with Gerwig feelsmuch like visiting with an oldfriend. Her calm, open de-meanor is disarmingly famil-iar. It’s telling that of allpeople, she’s trying for DianeKeaton’s ’do — as the two seemto have kinship for playingfidgety, awkwardly charmingwomen.

Known for her roles in tinyindie films and, more recently,in broader releases like“Greenberg” and “No StringsAttached,” Gerwig is currentlypromoting “Damsels inDistress,” which was writtenand directed by Whit Stillmanafter his 12-year sabbaticalfrom filmmaking. She plays afussy college coed, convincedthat her campus would be abetter place if everyone wouldtap dance, wear perfume andshower more often. She’s notwrong, really.

And though Gerwig and hercharacter, Violet, don’t havetoo much in common, they doshare strong emotional and ol-factory connections.

“When I got to high school,every boy wore Polo Sport toall the dances,” she enthuses.

“To this day, Polo Sport still isone of my favorite smells be-cause you never have crushesas intense as you have in highschool and the smell of PoloSport — it’s kind of gross —and I love it.”

And if you’re looking for be-friend Gerwig, there’s one go-to scent that will reel her in.

“All the girls wore CliniqueHappy — and there was some-thing about the way that thatsmelled — even today if I meeta girl who is wearing CliniqueHappy, I’ll be like, ‘oh, she’s re-ally cool,’” Gerwig says, deadserious. “It has something todo with, ‘All the cool girls wearClinique Happy.’ These scentsstay with us.”

You’d think the witch-huntmentality of the McCarthy erawould be fertile ground fordrama. But Matt Charman’s“Regrets” at City Center barelyscratches the surface, so itcomes up short. Its centralplot line, about a Hollywoodlighting grip on the run toprotect his budding starletwife, is neither fully devel-oped nor fully convincing.And its main characters —four guys at a Nevada divorceranch — bicker almost con-stantly but never engage infull-fledged dramatic conflict.

The ranch is run by flintyMrs. Duke (the always reliableAdriane Lenox). EnigmaticBen (Brian Hutchison) hasbeen there two years, far ex-ceeding the six weeks he need-ed for his divorce. HotheadedGerald (Lucas Caleb Rooney)would like to make an honestwoman out of Chrissie (AlexisBledel), who bicycles in to givethe boys “haircuts.” Alvin(Richard Topol), a whiner,would do anything to get hiswife to take him back. Andthen there’s young Caleb(Ansel Elgort), rightly suspect-ed of hiding something untilInspector Robert Hanratty

(Curt Bouril) shows up on be-half of the House Committeeon Un-American Activities.

Elgort, a student at La-Guardia High School, is mak-ing his professional debut. Heclearly has solid acting chops,as does “Gilmore Girl” Bledel,making her New York stagedebut. But good acting cannotcompensate for the virtuallyflat storyline. Characters arewell drawn, but there’s nodepth to or payoff from theirinteraction. The main storydisappoints, and the subplotssputter out.

match this service with anLED-Light Bed Therapy session.This non-invasive process in-volves lying back and restingwhile the special lights correctsun damage and minimizepores. It not only amplifies theeffects of your facial, but offersall-over benefits.

It’s funny how the mo-ment the sun pokesthrough the clouds, weget inspired to clean

house. This season, I encour-age you to take your springcleaning one step further.

Two weeks ago, I wroteabout how to clear out some ofthe clutter in your mind. Youknow that good feeling you getwhen you recycle old clothes? Ifyou dig that kind of release,you’ll love how it feels to let goof old, negative thoughts thatyou’ve held onto for years.Make the commitment thisspring season to free yourselffrom the junk in your head. Fol-low my three-step spring mindcleanse guide and enjoy the ex-tra mental space.

Step one: The one-year ruleThe age-old closet rule — if youhaven’t worn it in over a year,throw it out — applies to themind, too. If you’ve been ob-sessing over something out ofyour control for over a year, it’stime to let it go. Get honestwith yourself about how you’vebeen holding onto an outcome.Begin the releasing process bysimply saying once a day, “I am

ready to let this go.” This sim-ple affirmation will ignite thereleasing process and let themind cleanse begin.

Step two: Recycle the junkMuch like it’s hard to part withold clothing items, it can behard to part with old ideas.Rather rather than drop the be-lief altogether, I encourage youto replace it with a new one.

Once you identify the negativebeliefs that you’ve been hold-ing onto, you can rewrite thescript. Reaffirm a new beliefthat is more positive and ener-gizing. For instance, if you’vebeen saying, “I can’t loseweight,” recycle that thoughtwith the affirmation, “thisspring I’m ready to let go of theextra pounds.” Rephrasing yourlimiting beliefs will give youthe positive reinforcement toclean your negative patternsand energetically supportchange.

Step three: Celebrate yourmental cleanse A huge part of the mindcleanse practice is to acknowl-edge your newfound clarity.Cleansing doesn’t happenovernight. You must celebratethe subtle shifts and stickaround for the miracles.

Embark on a mind cleansethis spring to feel energized,clear and excited for what’s tocome.

In African-American historycourses across the country,there is a fairly standard nar-rative applied to the rise andfall of the Student NonviolentCoordinating Committee: Inthe early 1960s, SNCC was apowerful game-changing forcein the struggle to end segrega-tion, but the group lost theireffectiveness in the late ’60swhen they embraced theBlack Power movement.

This narrative is largely de-rived from Clayborne Carson’sseminal 1981 book, “In Strug-gle: SNCC and the Black Awak-ening of the 1960s.”

But a vastly different inter-pretation of that history hitbookshelves last month: “TheBlack Campus Movement:Black Students and the RacialReconstitution of Higher Edu-cation,” by SUNY College ofOneonta professor Ibram H.

Rogers. “What Clayborne argues is

that when SNCC startedchanging its ideology, it lostwhite liberal support — and itbasically started to fade intohistory,” says Rogers. “But, forme, the black campus move-ment — specifically for cam-puses in the south — was inpart a product of SNCC organ-izing students, and helping toargue for truly black universi-ties. And this happened asthey shifted into a Black Powerorganization.”

In combing througharchives from over 160 collegesnationwide, Rogers discoveredthe seeds of diversity initiativeslargely taken for granted oncontemporary campuses.

“Most people assume thatthe embrace of the word ‘diver-sity’ emerged out of the CivilRights Act of 1964 or even

Brown vs. the Board of Educa-tion,” says Rogers. “In fact, itwas actually forced upon theseschools through the activitiesof these students.”

Rethinking the rootsof a diverse campus

“We see the legacy of the BlackCampus Movementall over campusestoday: black studiesdepartments, blackhistory courses andeven Latino andwomen’s studiesprograms andcenters formulti culturalaffairs. Just the ideaof colleges publiclydeclaring thecommitment todiversity — that isdirectly tied to theBlack CampusMovement.”ROGERS

BRUCE [email protected]

Quoted

“Black students — through the Black Campus Movement – forced the diversification of higher education and ultimately changed the ideals of higher education,” says Rogers.

Though many have mas-tered the art of quickconsumerism via same-day shipping and

doorstep delivery, we stillstruggle with expedited jobshopping. In her new book,“Same-Day Résumé,” careerexpert Louise Kursmark offersvaluable advice on minimiz-ing time in the workless wait-ing room. “The key to speedingup the process is in nontradi-tional job search techniques,”says the author.

According to Kursmark, thebest catalyst strategies involvedo-nots rather than dos:

Do not be a cyber scavenger“Not everything’s on the Web.

In fact, most employers wouldrather not post a job online, be-cause they’ll have to look overhundreds and hundreds of ré-sumés and potential intervie-wees. They would rather askaround — staff, family, friends,business colleagues.”

Do not make an appearance“You want to maximize yourresources, one of which istime. In-person soliciting isvery time consuming andusually doesn’t produce highpay-offs unless your visit isspecific and purposeful.”

Do not count on your current circle“Expand your network and

look into professional associa-tions. You can make great con-tacts through these associa-tions to establish who you arein the field and find others inyour profession. If they knowof jobs, they’re going to steeryou in the direction of compa-nies that are hiring.”

Do not slack off“If you’re not currently work-ing, your search should be afull-time job. Even if you’re inthe interviewing process, youneed to continue networkingefforts, résumé polishing andindustry research.”

TIFFANY [email protected]

Keep it positive!

Despite the job market,Kursmark emphasizes theimportance of staying optimistic about yourprospects.

“Though the unemploymentrate is high and college gradsaren’t finding opportunities,realize that 91 percent ofpeople are still working.There are jobs for dedicated,smart people — you onlyneed one among thousandsof opportunities. Feel goodabout what you have tooffer.”

FOR A FASTER JOB SEARCH,DON’T DO THIS

You need to think differently if you want to wrap it up quicklyCareer expert Louise Kursmark on her list of don’ts

Photo op: Breaking into the wedding industrySamuel Bendall works 9 to 5as an assistant account man-ager for an L.A.-based PRfirm. But over the last fiveyears, he has created a re-warding — and even lucra-tive — part-time career as awedding photographer.

Bendall, a recent CaliforniaState-Northridge grad, booksabout one wedding per monthand grosses between $1,500and $6,000 for each one (a fairlyindustry-standard rate). Thework is certainly more reward-ing than his former part-timejobs in the restaurant business,but building a viable weddingphotography business is farmore challenging than mostpeople realize.

“I don’t do it full-time be-cause of how much work is in-volved in a wedding. It’s hard toconvey to people,” he explains.

“It’s more logistics than any-thing: meeting with the family,the wedding planner. Plus,there’s a lot on the back-end ofprocessing and packaging goodimages. You spend about 10percent of your time actually atthe wedding.”

And, unlike other part-timejobs, wedding photography re-quires both passion and talent.Bendall has been a photogra-pher since high school andavidly pursues his own artisticphoto projects.

But, perhaps most impor-tantly, the job demands an in-trinsic feel for public relations.

“You can’t just be a goodphotographer, you have to bean incredible interpersonalcommunicator: Explain con-cisely, to difficult people, whatexactly you’re doing,” says Ben-dall. “It’s like Oscar Wilde said:‘If you want to tell people thetruth, make them laugh, other-wise they’ll kill you.’”

Blog inspirationMarried couple Justin andMary Marantz own one ofthe premier weddingphotography businesses inthe country, based in New

Haven, Conn. Their blog,“Pancake Session,” is full ofwisdom, resources andinspiration for buddingwedding photographers:www.justinmarantz.com. Expert Q&A

Cassandra Eldridge is awedding photographer inChicago. She shoots roughly30 ceremonies per year.

How do you know if you havethe talent for the job?A lot of people think that ifthey own a camera, they’re aphotographer. But there’s ob-viously composition, thinkingoutside the box and timing— developing really goodgut instincts. If you’re inter-ested, [then] practice, prac-tice, practice and see whereyou wind up. There are a lotof wedding photographersout there who are extremelytalented. It’s important not tocompare. How much do you charge perwedding?Between $3,000 and $5,800. Do you hire assistants?Yes, one per shoot. I pay a flatrate of $200 and encouragethem to build their own port-folio. That’s how most peoplebreak in. How do you find your clients?Word of mouth has beenamazing. I’m a heavy blogger,and I’m very active on socialnetworking.

Aries March 21-April 19. You mayenter the day with high hopes —but unless something good hap-pens to help you keep that positiveattitude, the slightest upset willsend you into a funk.

Taurus April 20-May 20. Upon oc-casion, you’re apt to ignore thosewho have done the most for youwhile rewarding the undeserving inhopes of getting their attention.This approach will do nothing foryou.

Gemini May 21-June 20. In orderto get others to do your bidding,you might try to use some flattery.However, if the recipient doesn’tdeserve your words of praise, you’llget nowhere. Sincerity will have thegreatest impact.

Cancer June 21-July 22. If you runinto someone who can help you inyour career, the use of levity couldprove counterproductive. Keep yourconversation on a serious plane.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22. You’ll be ofno help if you tell an advice-seekeronly what she or he wants to hear.You’ll do more for the other party ifyou are frank and forthright.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22. Even if thetruth is painful, base your judgmentcalls on facts. Decisions based oneasy outs might make you feelgood — but if they do nothing for

you, they’re worthless.Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23. Don’t think

it won’t anger your friends if yougive them cause to think you’renice only to those who can helpyou get what you want. Treat every-one with the same courtesy.

Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22. Even ifmembers of the opposite sex usu-ally find you quite appealing, don’tmistake the signals and think some-one is making a pass at you. Itcould prove to be embarrassing.

Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21. Even ifyou don’t have any current plans touse them, your pragmatic skills willbe more pronounced than yourartistic ones. Put them to work foryou if you can.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19. It’s im-portant to follow through on anypromises you made to another,even if it now causes you a bit of in-convenience. Doing so will greatlyenhance your reputation.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 19. If youare penny-wise and pound foolish,don’t be surprised if you discover alot of holes in your books when itcomes time to take stock.

Pisces Feb. 20-March 20. Unlessyou are materially motivated, itisn’t likely that you’ll use the fullforce of your talents. However,you’ll shift into full gear when thereis something in it for you. BERNICE BEDE OSOL

Tax cuts on richdon’t help the poorMost people believe that ifPresident Obama taxes therich for more money, it willgo to the poor. This couldn’tbe further from the truth. Ifhold-up men take your mon-ey, the hold-up men use it. Ifit is given to a charity, it isused by the charity. If thegovernment takes it, thepoliticians will use it fortheir pork barrels. Raisingtaxes on the rich does nothelp the poor. ALAN JACOBS, VIA E-MAIL

The war on momskeeps on goingRE: “UMBRAGE WARS BEGIN INEARNEST”: You make it soundlike Mrs. Romney has justfloated through life on a gild-ed pillow. You might be for-getting the fact that she is di-

agnosed with Multiple Sclero-sis, and regardless of whethershe suffers publicly from anyoutwardly visible symptoms,imagine yourself goingthrough life with the fear ofpossible physical, psychologi-cal or neurological debilita-tion. I think raising five kidswhile keeping herself in goodhealth is a pretty phenome-nal accomplishment. DEBORAH FENKER, CHELSEA

Mitt Romney has won a bigvictory in the inside-the-Belt-way game. He has no chanceof passing himself off as any-thing but a scion of vastwealth. But apparently he’sfree to lie about his wife andsay that she has personal ex-perience of kitchen-table eco-nomic issues. The punditryhas decided that calling himon it is an attack on his wife,and therefore not only is the

entire GOP “War on Women”disqualified from considera-tion but Romney himself isnow Joe Sixpack-by-proxy.Let’s hope the voters aresmarter than the insiders.DAN WYLIE-SEARS, VIA E-MAIL

President Obama took timeaway from the 99 percent todefend the .000001 percent ofwomen who can afford tochoose to stay home to dowhatever they do when theyhave five children and a hus-band who makes a lot ofmoney with other people’smoney killing other people’sjobs. SUZY SANDOR, NEW YORK

Mr. Brayden Simms is againdoing damage control for hisheroes, the Obamas and theDemocratic party. Ms. Rosensaid that Ms. Romney actuallynever worked a day in her lifeas a stay-at-home mom. This

statement started a firestorm,which prompted Simms tostate that Hilary Rosen, a “De-mocratic Strategist,” is not af-filiated with Obama. I don’tknow why, she only visitedthe Obama White House 35times. I guess Mr. Simms hastaken writing lessons from“Calvin & Hobbes”: As Calvinput it, “the purpose of writingis to inflate weak ideas,obscure poor reasoning andinhibit clarity.”IGOR MANNIKUS, NEW JERSEY

I think Ann Romney is right.Women’s decisions shouldbe respected, in all areas.She, and all women, musthave the right to make theirown life choices. It’s a shameher party and her husbanddon’t think so. PAUL SIMONS, VIA E-MAIL

Ann Romney worked hardraising her five children.Hillary Rosen was incorrectsaying she hadn’t worked aday in her life. As a result, itseems Ann Romney’s maidsand butlers didn’t work a dayin their lives. ROBERT LA ROSA, NEW YORK

Outside of LeBron James,Carmelo Anthony might bethe most maligned superstarin the NBA. But if critics judgehim by his recent tear the vit-riol might dissipate.

The Knicks came up short,93-85, in yesterday’s matineeagainst the Heat, but it wasn’tAnthony’s fault. The small for-ward, who has been playingout of position at power for-ward with Amar’e Stoudemirerecovering from a back injury,powered through double-teams and multiple defendersto post a game-high 42 points.The scoring machine wasn’tone-dimensional, though, ashe also added nine reboundsand five assists on 14-of-27shooting.

“Guys like Carmelo Antho-ny, KD [Kevin Durant] andKobe, they’re going to makeshots [because] they’re flat-outscorers,” Heat forward LeBronJames said. “Hopefully downthe stretch you try to continueto wear on them and hopeful-ly they start to miss a few.That’s what I was able to do,just trying to be aggressive onCarmelo. … But he was im-pressive.”

It was such a virtuous per-formance by Anthony thateven the opponents kept talk-ing about him hours after thegame. Anthony and the Heat’s“Big 3” came into the leaguetogether in the same draft, soall are close friends. But evenJames and Dwyane Wade wereimpressed with how much ofa load Anthony had to carry inSunday’s game. The duoagreed that Anthony alonecould make the Knicks a

tough out in playoffs shouldthe teams meet.

“Their one great playerplayed great,” Wade said. “Me-lo’s a heck of a ball player. Hecan lead a team to win by him-self on any night.”

Anthony, meanwhile, washarder on himself, saying heneeds to do everything he canto get the role players to chipin more.

“When I went through that

little spurt of getting booed, itwas hurtful,” Anthony said ofthe Garden crowd. “But nowthe tables are turned. ... As ateam leader I have to do every-thing I can to help us get inthe playoffs — despite every-thing we’ve been through.”

Hagelin getsthree gamesfor head shot

Wing suspended after hit to headof Alfredsson in Saturday’s Game 2

Could Kreider make NHL debut?Rangers wing Carl Hagelin saidyesterday he had apologizedfor a high elbow to the Sena-tors’ Daniel Alfredsson, butthat wasn’t enough to keep theyoung star in New York’s line-up for the next three games.

NHL discipline czar BrendanShanahan laid down a three-game suspension on Hagelinyesterday evening, meaning hecould be done for the season ifthe Rangers lose the next three.

“I sent him a text [Saturday]that said I’m sorry and I’m veryregretful for what happened,”Hagelin said.

Hagelin caught Ottawa’scaptain with an elbow to thehead, laying him out and earn-ing a penalty in the process,during Saturday’s heated affair.

Alfredsson struggled to hisfeet and skated off the ice, butdid not return to the game.

Hagelin, a 23-year-old rook-ie, and Alfredsson are bothSwedish and Hagelin said helooked up to the 39-year-oldveteran. He said the blow to thehead was not intentional.

“I never want to hurt any-

one on the ice,” Hagelin said.“That’s not the type of playerthat I am. I’ve never had a ma-jor before.”

Alfredsson was listed as da-to-day after Saturday’s Ottawavictory, but no one on the clubwould release whether or nothe had a concussion.

“I just hope he’s doing welland that he can play [tonight],”Hagelin said.

MARK [email protected]

Kreider time?

With the loss of Hagelinfrom the Rangers’ top line ofMarian Gaborik and BradRichards, coach John Tor-torella will need to do someshifting of lines.

Tortorella likely won’t releasehis lineup until this after-noon, but big-time prospectChris Kreider could see hisfirst action.

Hagelin has one assist in the first two playoff games.

Ottawa awaits in crucial Game 3If the Rangers are going to liveup to their No. 1 seed, theywill now have to win a gameon the road.

With the Senators’ 4-3overtime victory in Game 2,they stole home-ice advantagefrom the Rangers. But don’texpect it to affect a fieryRangers squad.

“We’re not gonna backdown. We haven’t backeddown from anyone all year, sowe’ll continue to play physi-cal, and we anticipate they’lldo the same,” Brandon Dubin-sky said yesterday.

Physical was an understate-ment for Game 2. Dubinskybarely got any time on the ice

after coming to the rescue ofBrian Boyle and being kickedout of the game. It was one ofmany scraps in the evening’sgame.

“The emotion’s gonna con-tinue to rise the farther you gointo the series, [because]there’s more at stake,” Boylesaid. METRO

Grandersonreflects onRobinsonYesterday marked the 65thanniversary of Jackie Robin-son breaking baseball’s colorbarrier.

Seven years after retiringRobinson’s number, baseballannounced it wouldcelebrate the day and in2007 it began letting playerswear the number April 15.

“This day is the reasonwhy I get the chance to playthis great game of baseball,”centerfielder Curtis Grander-son said. “Jackie Robinsonbreaking the color barrier 65years ago and doing a lot ofthings not only for baseballbut the Civil Rightsmovement [allowed] African-Americans like myself [and]other minorities [to play].

Not only was Grandersonwearing the number, hechanged jerseys in the mid-dle of the game for an auc-tion to generate proceeds forhis foundation. Grandersondid it five years ago with

four different jerseys.One of them had dirt on

it and a photo was takenwith Granderson in thesame pose as Robinson dur-ing his sliding steal of homein the 1955 World Series.

“I don’t think Jackie’s in-tention was just, ‘Hey, I wantto get African-Americans toplay,’ because in the NegroLeagues what a lot of peopledon’t realize is that they hadLatin-Americans playingbaseball because they couldn’t get a chance to playin the major leagues. Itopened up doors for every-body, and I think that’ssomething he would beproud of,” Granderson said.

seven runs in three innings Team still looking good with 6-3 record The Mets felt the pain of anunstable bullpen for the firsttime and it was Mike Pelfreywho took the hardest hit.

Pelfrey pitched better thanin his first start, but RamonRamirez blew what shouldhave been his second win of

the season. Pelfrey pitched sixinnings and allowed just onerun on eight hits.

Ramirez came into a 2-1ballgame in the seventh in-ning and promptly gave upthree hits, two runs and, mostimportantly, the lead. The

Mets’ bullpen would let it slipto an 8-2 loss from there.

“[Pelfrey] was outstanding,”Mets manager Terry Collinssaid. “It was another goodstart for him. He had a goodcurveball and got a lot ofgroundballs.”

David Wright was 2-for-4 inhis second game back with afractured pinky, while IkeDavis had his first home runof the season.

Wayne Simmonds stood inshorts and a T-shirt in the hall-way, ready to congratulate histeammates with a fist bump.His arms were folded and hedidn’t look happy, even thoughhis team just went up 3-0 in theseries and won the game, 8-4.

An underdressed Zac Rinal-do joined him. Scott Hartnell,too. There were almost as manyFlyers returning to the lockerroom as there were playerswho had been ejected. Such isFlyers-Penguins hockey.

“I don’t know if it was as

physical as it was dirty,” DannyBriere said. “You saw the ha-tred, you saw the frustration. Ithink it was more of that. I sawa couple of cheap shots whenguys weren’t looking, but I

think it’s mostly the rivalrythat had a lot to do with theteam today.”

By the time it was over,there were 158 penalty min-utes. Kimmo Timonen record-ed his first career fight againstKris Letang. Sidney Crosbydropped the gloves with ClaudeGiroux.

“It was more of a wrestlingmatch,” Giroux said, “but that’spart of hockey.”

By Dr. C. Hammoud Ph.D.�I had terrible Acne for 3 years and tried products withBenzoyl Peroxide, Aloe Vera and others. After 4 days takingthe Bell natural product #60 it started to clear up my skin. Myskin changed from terrible to beautiful. Mylene Theriault, 19,Sorel-Tracy, QC �In 2 days my son’s face completelycleared up of acne. My son is 15 and suffered for 3 years.We used many products like laser, Neem that did not work orburned his skin. Veronica Marden, Seminole, TX�Unbelievable acne free beautiful skin Last couple ofyears I had acne and tried every product and antibiotics.Results with #60 were unbelievable. Thanks for giving mebeautiful skin and my self-esteem. Nelisa Royer, 28, Doral,FL �Within 6 days eczema cleared up completely. Ibelieve #60 addresses the cause internally instead of thesymptoms. Latifa Boutshik, 43, North York, ON �I hadsevere psoriasis over 95% of my body. Last 5 years I havestunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons ofmoney on remedies. After I got Bell #60, I’ve never seenanything work as fast in my life. Within 2 days I saw my skinclearing up. I’m speechless. It was inexpensive comparedwith what I spent before. Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek,BC �All statements made on the Bell website are sent bydelighted users. All are real people. Most have listed phonenumbers and can be called for advice. No money is paid tothem. Their reward is the relief they are getting. All say #60works within days not months, not years. It’s more effectivethan what they used before. It is less expensive (some acnesuppliers ship monthly and charge monthly, which mayamount to large sums yearly). No side effects were reportedon #60. TRUE EVIDENCE that we are helping people.

#60Guaranteed better than all othersthey used say dozens of delightedusers with full names and towns on theBell website. Works by cleansing bloodinside rather than attacking skin fromthe outside and leaving the actual causeuntreated. Here are a few examples:

CLOTHING AN EMPIRETHERE’S A CHINESE SAYING:

“Each dynasty has its own adorn-

ments,” and thus Chinese history is

replete with a lavish variety of apparel.

Every year Shen Yun creates hundreds

of gorgeous, hand-made garments

spanning China’s dynasties, regions,

and ethnic groups. “I saw here the best

example about how fabric, clothing,

and sleeves can enhance the movement

and tell the story,” said famed designer

Norma Kamali. With traditional garb

of the Manchurians, Tibetans and

Mongolians, the costumes consist of

imperial dragon robes, cloud capes, or-

nate headdresses and vestments, war-

riors’ armor, and celestial maidens’

long silky sleeves.

PROJECTING TIME AND SPACEVividly animated backdrops, grand as

they are intricate, extend the stage and

transport the audience. They are so re-

markably true-to-life that audiences

forget where they are and journey to

another place and time. Spectacular set-

tings reflect China’s landscapes, dynas-

ties, and mythology. Some scenes even

transcend this world, entering a majestic

paradise where fairies dance amid the

clouds or in a heavenly palace. An inno-

vation in the world of performing arts,

Shen Yun’s projection designs synchro-

nize all aspects of the stage—costumes’

colors, specific dance movements, props,

lighting, the music of the orchestra—to

create “a dream world of perfection,” as

one audience member exclaimed.

TWO GREAT CLASSICAL MUSIC TRADITIONS— ONE GLORIOUS SOUND

“Simply astounding to watch, and a pleasure to the ear.”

— OperaOnline

FROM THE MOMENT the gong is struck to

herald the beginning of the show, you know

you are in for something musically memo-

rable.

The Shen Yun Orchestra masterfully blends

two of the world’s greatest classical music

traditions, Chinese and Western. Ancient

Chinese instruments such as the soul-stirring

erhu and the delicate pipa lead the melody on

top of a full orchestra of Western strings, per-

cussion, woodwinds, and brass. The Western

orchestra with its energy and grandeur, and

the Chinese instruments with their distinct

tones and styles, together create a dramatic

new sound.

VOCAL SOLOISTS

The resounding voices of bel canto soloists

are an integral part of the Shen Yun experi-

ence. Each program is heightened by several

moving selections from our singers. Their im-

passioned songs give voice to hopes that have

shaped Chinese culture for centuries.
