Was given this straight from the can.
Appearance: Don't know exactly since it was straight from the can. I'm guessing a typical gold/yellow lager look.
Smell: sweet malts and earthy hops, both at a minimum.
Taste: Like the nose, sweet, biscuity malts, grains, and ever so slight citrus. Too sweet for my liking.
Mouthfeel: Heavy light body; crisp and refreshing. Lawn mower beer
Overall: Very mild flavors and too sweet; not the style I seek out for a craft beer. I'll take a free one, but id rather buy a Yuengling at half the price.

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance – Served a golden amber colored brew with a one finger fizzy white head. The head fades very fast at first only to later slow leaving a persistent thin foam layer on the top of the brew. The foam dissipates over time leaving a good leave of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is heavy of a wheat and sweeter candied sugar and orange smell. Mixed with these aromas are some lighter spice smells of a corn sweetness.
Taste – The taste begins sweet with lots of orange sweetness and a good showing of a candied sugar taste. Along with the sweet is a nice smooth bready and doughy taste. The bready taste transitions slightly during the taste gaining more graininess as the flavor advances. The sweet taste also transition becoming more complex as some banana comes to the tongue. The candied sugar tastes grow quite strong at the end of the taste where some spice flavors and a bit of a grassy taste join the profile to leave a sweet and still, even with the little bit of graininess, rather smooth flavor on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is on the thicker and creamier side for a brew of only 5.3 % abv and for a brew of it's style, with the carbonation being on the slightly lower side for the style. The creamy body and lower carbonation really accentuates the sweeter flavors of the brew highlighting the smooth bready flavors and candied sugar quite well.
Overall – A sweet and very pleasant blond. Well worth a try if you can find it.

3.55/5 rDev +3.2%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
A: Clear yellow in color. Forms a smallish white head. Reduces down to a thin surface coating and a ring around the edge. Minimal lacing.
S: Smells like a macro lager with a hint of toast. Grains and cereal. Some very mild herbal hops.
T: Taste is pleasant. Mostly very light pale malts, a bit of apple, and what I would say is a just a touch of pilsner malt. Moderately sweet. Some light black pepper on the finish.
M: Lighter bodied. Appropriate carbonation.
O: About what I expected from this beer. Simple. Easy to drink. Not offensive. A gateway craft beer.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Serving Type - Can
Appearance - Golden straw yellow, 1 inch foamy head and plenty of lacing.
Smell - Sour/bitter malts, sweet yeasts, lemon, grapes, funky grains, some spices and a little citric note.
Taste - First sip comes off With a nice mix of bitter pale malts, sweet yeasts, and lemon. Not as Bitter as the nose lead me to believe. Some minor citric flavors and added spices also are noticeable. Grainy and biscuit near the finish.
Mouthfeel - Malts and yeasts coat the tongue. Palate gets more malts with some hops and spices. The aftertaste Is dry, very mild and a little yeasty.
Overall - This is ok, very easy to drink, A fine summertime beer. Does have that big brewery, bud. miller. coors feeling and flavor to it but not in such a bland, spoiled water sorta way. A good beer to hand to a fan of mentioned beers. Nothing to special, just a above average beer.

3.53/5 rDev +2.6%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5
Lightly hazy dark blonde, in color. Thick collar of an inch and a half. Falls, however, without lacing.
Sweet aromas of citrus and tropical fruit. Sweet cracker malts and notes of mango flesh in a fascinatingly unhoppy way. Simple, yet summery and delicate aroma.
Maltiness kind of takes over with sweet grain and angel's food cake flavors. Light and a little yeasty, which I think is where these fruity esters come from. Not very lively, and it needs that; whether a bright citric or floral hop or some affirming bitterness. Instead, it stands as it is.
The feel could be vastly improved. Without much bitterness, an already weak carbonation has nothing to bind with and become more accentuated. It just needs to be easier to put down.
A half-decent blonde. Perhaps, not super fresh.

In 1986, when she first arrived in California, she laid eyes on a stack of discarded newspapers yellowed by the sun, and found it very intriguing. From that day forth she started thinking about ways she could use this material in her art. She started by rolling newspapers into tubes and creating wall and floor sculptures, but after a couple of years she developed her weaving technique." w/ photos

ON TOPIC: I know what your problem is. My guitarist has the same problem which is why I DO NOT let him help me with vocals. You aren't pushing enough air through and you aren't vibrating your false chords slow enough. I had that problem when I was first getting started with vocals years ago but I quickly learned to exert more force. I don't really know how to tell you to fix the issue because the only thing I know to do is push harder and more consistently. You can't be having inconsistent exhaling.
Either that or you aren't using false chord or fry screaming. There are many other ways of screaming so you might be using one of those.

The Texas Ethics Commission is up for review and some possible changes at the state Legislature.
The House Elections Committee will consider significant changes to the commission, which collects campaign finance reports and investigates complaints against elected officials and lobbyists.
There are few limits on campaign contributions in Texas, so disclosure forms filed with the ethics commission are the main method of tracking political influence. But lawmakers complain that one minor error on a form is treated the same as a major violation of law.
The disclosure process also relies on old technology, and lawmakers will consider updating the process. The details of those and other changes will be made Monday afternoon in Austin.
To comment, the following rules must be followed:
Comments may be monitored for inappropriate content, but the station is under no legal obligation to do so.
If you believe a comment violates the above rules, please use the Flagging Tool to alert a Moderator.

Multiple violations may result in account suspension.

Since early 2009, GMRI has actively worked with Delhaize America supermarkets, which include 1700 stores under Hannaford, Food Lion, and Sweetbay banners, to develop and implement a sustainable seafood sourcing policy. The policy covers all seafood products in the store, including fresh, frozen, and canned items that originate from around the world. The policy requires that sourced fisheries are regulated by a credible management body, enough science exists to determine sustainable harvest levels, harvests are monitored, and rules are enforced.
Further, the policy requires that all seafood is traceable to the source, and all fisheries are assessed individually, making this one of the most sophisticated and comprehensive seafood sourcing initiatives in North America. GMRI's role has been to inform the policy and to work with all of Delhaize Americas suppliers to ensure their products meet the criteria outlined.
In May, 2012, Hannaford Supermarkets announced that all of its seafood is compliant with the policy. Click the link to read the complete Hannaford Supermarket's Seafood Policy. For more information, please check out the media section below.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — The Bill and Doann Reed Family Trust has given Veterans Corner a piece of property on which we can build the Community Veterans Center. The acreage, on State Highway 9, two miles west of Interstate 35, will give us visibility and an ease of access for visiting veterans.
This past May, we put a call out for veteran support of this building project, and in 10 weeks, veterans had contributed more than $100,000 toward the goal of just more than $2 million. We will immediately begin our fundraising effort in earnest and encourage all of you to help.
If you have questions about the building plans, call John Carter at 202-1999. Contributions can be mailed to Veterans Corner, P.O. Box #704, Washington, OK 73093. Veterans Corner is a 501(c) 3, nonprofit. All our services are free to veterans.
This week, we are recognizing a couple from Minco that has been with us under a year, yet have already made a difference in the lives of many veterans and surviving spouses. Jim and Cookie Bergin, we want to thank you both for being a part of Veterans Corner.
Cookie works with the surviving spouses of veterans, helping them navigate the VA paperwork that is required to obtain benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Jim works at the front door assisting veterans as they arrive. He also is part of our trailer crew, helping set up the equipment needed each Thursday and then reloading our trailer at the end of business.
Last Thursday morning, more than 100 men and women were helped with their VA claims and questions. Shirley and her crew of ladies provided assistance to 16 surviving spouses. Several of these ladies were widows of Vietnam veterans who died from some of the 15 diseases that are presumptive to exposure to Agent Orange. I suggest that you call Shirley at 361-9322 with any questions you might have.
Six veterans received ratings of 100 percent for their service-connected disabilities. These men and women were seen Thursday by the ladies who provide assistance with the applications for spouse and dependents Champ VA medical insurance and the life insurance forms. Joan Baxter and Gracy Taylor are the volunteers who take care of all of the veterans and surviving spouses who qualify for these benefits.
Volunteers who assist veterans with their first claims for VA benefits helped 16 veterans Thursday.
The benevolence fund was used to provide meals for veterans, transportation expenses, gas cards, medical testing and other approved expenses. We are in the process of changing guidelines on the amount of income that a person has to receive to be eligible for our services.
Currently, we use the federal poverty guidelines in deciding who may qualify for assistance. We know that there are many things that might be causing a financial hardship requiring assistance to those who are slightly above this level.
If you need assistance, call Jerry Baxter at 833-0773 or visit with us any Thursday morning.
For those who need food items, Sid Smith has some prepared each Thursday.
We have three transportation vans that are used to transport veterans to their VA appointments.
One of these is equipped with a wheelchair lift. Clayton Lee, of Dibble, can be reached at 684-8860. Howard Martin, of Norman, who drives the wheelchair-accessible van, can be reached at 227-3239. Robert Root, of Norman, can be reached at 919-3008.
For all of your questions and assistance about veterans' benefits, we are at the Goldsby Community Center each Thursday. The doors open at 7 a.m., and sign-in sheets are available at 5:30 a.m.
You can call me at 550-8806 or email email@example.com.
Semper Fi.
Dale K. Graham is service officer of VFW Post 4890.

The art of connecting with, feeling and adjusting the energy body using the consciousness is a key aspect of Nei Gong and Qi Gong. It sits somewhere between Qi Gong, meditation and the lesser-known art of Shen Gong, and although it is known in China it has never before been written about in an accessible way in the West.
Subjects: Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Medical Qigong, Daoism, Oriental Martial Arts, Bagua Quan, Qigong, Nei Gong, Taiji Quan, Qigong
An invaluable guide for anyone beginning a career in acupuncture, this book offers a unique and supportive insight into the challenges and the pitfalls that the novice acupuncturist is likely to encounter, and provides encouragement and down-to-earth ideas for tackling them.

Saw this on SCUSA initially. Seems worth re-posting:
Details MLS Commissioner reveals in Orlando: "They're going to open up CenturyLink field, 66,000 seats for the Cascadia rivalry" @MLS
Retweeted by Major League Soccer
I'm guessing that this is true since MLS re-tweeted it. I doubt they'd have done that if it wasn't a done deal. Unless they've just turned their Twitter feed over to an intern who doesn't know what he's doing. Which does happen.

Several local students came home from the 26th N.C. Science and Engineering Fair with awards and bragging rights.
More than 300 students in grades 3-12 from throughout the state presented original research projects on a wide array of science and engineering topics.
Eight winners in the high school division were selected to compete in the INTEL International Science and Engineering Fair in Phoenix last month, including Landon Carter, Tejas Sundaresan and Jenny Wang from Cary and Jaehyeong Lee and Arjun Raghavan of Chapel Hill.
Christie Jiang of Cary was among students invited to attend the International Sustainable World Energy, Engineering, and the Environment Project Olympiad competition in Houston last month. There, she won a silver medal and $300 in the Environment category.
Here are the local winners, along with the names of their projects:
Pranav Chockalingam, "Why do you have bad hair days?" Washington Elementary, Elementary Exemplary Project.

JOPLIN, Mo. —
A proposal to equip Joplin eighth-graders with tablet computers is the latest one-to-one technology initiative to go before the Board of Education.
The board, at its meeting Tuesday, will consider a $174,744 bid from Apple for iPads, with a goal of distributing the computers at the eighth-grade level by the 2013-14 academic year, according to documentation provided by the district. If the program is approved, the district would become a partner for consultation and professional development with Project RED, a national, nonprofit organization that emphasizes one-to-one technology.
Board members will also consider approval of more than a dozen bids related to the schools currently under construction, including bids for precast concrete, glass, drywall, athletic equipment and security at Irving Elementary School; precast concrete, concrete footings and structural steel for Joplin High School and Franklin Technology Center; and masonry at East Middle School.
Board President Randy Steele said the board can expect to see a steady stream of bid packages on upcoming meeting agendas as construction on the new schools starts takes off.
"We're going to start seeing a lot of that coming," he said.
Nonaction items on Tuesday's agenda include presentations for board members about two programs with an impact on the district.
Paul Barr, chief financial officer, will provide information on the tax-increment financing district being proposed by the city's master developer to help fund its proposed recovery projects following the May 2011 tornado. A TIF district allows cities to repay certain costs developers incur from the increase in taxes their developments generate; the school district would be the largest taxing district within the proposed area, which covers much of the city of Joplin.
Staff and parents will present a standards-based grading system, which does away with traditional letter grades and instead assesses students with terms such as "Met," "Not Met," "Exceeding" or "Emerging."
The grading system, in use at a handful of Joplin schools, has been controversial among some parents. Steele said inclusion of the system at Tuesday's meeting is informational only; no votes will be taken.
"The (agenda item) is just information brought to the board and where we're at," he said. "It's still a pilot program, and because it's a pilot program, we as a board may ask questions. In that discussion, they're going to present to us what they're doing at the school."
The meeting will be preceded by a work session in which board members will discuss the district's dropout-prevention programs. Also listed on the agenda for both the work session and the meeting are closed sessions for the purposes of legal matters, real estate and personnel issues.
Meeting details
The Joplin Board of Education will meet at 5:30 p.m. for a work session and at 7 p.m. for its regular meeting Tuesday at the administration building, 3901 E. 32nd St.

"Best diaphragm pump in the world. No down time in 14 years. Effective and economical system."
The most advanced vacuum control is the VARIO® control for chemistry diaphragm pumps, in which vacuum is precisely controlled by continuosly adapting the pumping speed to the system demands. VARIO® chemistry pumping units from VACUUBRAND make it possible to automatically find the vapor pressure and adapt the vacuum to the process without keying in any parameters. VARIO® control instantaneously and precisely adjusts the volume flow rate to the changing process conditions, resulting in high evaporation rates and shorter process times. This unique control approaches boiling points gently to prevent overpumping and foaming, for sample protection and optimum solvent recovery.
Performance features:
• automatic adaptation of the vacuum level throughout the process for high process reproducibility and unattended operation, short process times due to zero-fluctuation (hysteresis-free) vacuum control, even for large amounts of vapor
• whisper quiet and ultra low vibration
• excellent environmental friendliness due to efficient solvent recovery
• intuitive operation with turn-and-tap jog wheel and clear text menus, with integrated venting valve

D&D Glossary
A magic item (typically a scroll) that contains a partially cast spell. Since the spell preparation step has already been completed, all the user need do to cast the spell is complete the final gestures or words normally required to trigger it. To use a spell completion item safely, the caster must be high enough level in the appropriate class to cast the spell already, though it need not be a known spell. A caster who does not fit this criterion has a chance of spell failure. Activating a spell completion item is a standard action and provokes attacks of opportunity just as casting a spell does.

Bro-in law divorcing my sister because she voted Obama! Obamacare could shut him down :(
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
First of all thank God they don't have kids.
My sister has always been an entitled sort of person, learned that from our parents. They spoiled us. I had the sense to figure out the real world isn't like that.
She married a really good guy who owns a machine shop. He employs 57 people including office staff. He has made plans for a "what if" in case Obama was re-elected, he was pulling for Romney. Obama won and now he's at plan B, and he will have to let 8 people go before the end of the year to avoid the new Obamacare fines/taxes since his employees don't have insurance.
Now before you hate on this man, understand that after paying all his employees, expenses, taxes, maintenance, and upkeep/new equipment he clears about $140,000 per year. Some years more, some less. In the last 10 years he says his actual pay/salary fluctuated between $80K and $190K depending on contracts and business.
The cost of insuring his employees would be about $350,000 for a minimum basic plan. That would put him in the red even before himself taking a salary. He would have to close shop. If he paid the $2500 per employee fine that kicks in for employers with 50 or more employees, he would pay a fine/tax of $110,000. Meaning his expected take home salary/profit would be anywhere from a net loss of $30K to a positive salary of only $80K - the latter only if he has a banner year.
He is unwilling to take a chance with his own livelihood and gas already informed his employees of the coming cuts - two office personnel, and six machinists. They are upset but they understand his reasoning. Even the handful of Obama supporters at his shop seemed to suddenly "get it" o cw the reality hit them, that they could lose THEIR job because of Obamacare.
Which brings me to my sister.
My bro-in-law has had conversations with me, and with her, about how Obamacare will quite literally hurt his business and/or his ability to grow the company. He found out that she voted for Obama when he overheard her talking to a friend about the election. At first he was nonchalant about it, and asked her why and she told him "well it's good that he wants to help people".
After stewing over it a few days, he changed the locks while she was at work and put her stuff in a Uhaul truck. When she got home he had already had an attorney file divorce papers and since they had a pre-nup, she gets nothing.
I am having a hard time because I can't really blame him, but I love my sister. Although I cannot understand for the life of me why she would vote in a way that was so contrary to her personal interests.
Not sure what to think.
Seeing both sides 14898437
American women have become spoiled sluts, thinking themselves to be entitled to anything and everything without any basic logical comprehension of the world around them. Furthermore, they are literally hypnotized and brainwashed by the mainstream media, which is the only thing they watch.
Dumbed down. Poisoned with the crap food they eat. Mesmerized by the world of entertainment through which they live vicariously every day.
Anonymous Coward 3796695
This is true. Many women have run themselves into unbelievable credit card debt, shopping.
The simple truth is, they don't understand things. They want immediate gratification, like a child.
A child will eat an entire box of cookies, even though you tell them it will sicken them. But they will do it, as it's immediate gratification.
A woman gets credit cards, same thing. She wants "stuff". She gets "stuff" with the cards, without the realization that getting this stuff will wreck her life with debt she cannot pay. Even though she is told what will happen.
The Obamacare thing is unsustainable to small business; it will wreck these businesses. And all you hear is that "you are sore losers"!!, etc etc.
It will all come back to bite them in the ass, but, for the moment, they feel they have "won".
Over half of the population is child-like in their thinking, and needs to led by the nose on a daily basis.

English films with subtitles?
6 replies
Forums · General English Grammar & Vocabulary, Listening & Speaking · English Audio: Speech & Pronunciation
Anonymous:Should pre-intermediate learners be shown original English films with Catalan/Spanish subtitles or English subtitles? Why?
Thanks a lot!
I personally believe that subtitles (always turned on) don't help improve comprehension. I think it is better to watch a part of movie without subtitles. If you don't get much of the meaning, rewatch that part. Rewatch it again. Then if you want you could turn on the subtitles (only English subtitles) and see what you missed or what you got wrong.
Then it depends what you mean by "pre-intermediate". If that level doesn't allow you to watch something without subtitles, then you should find something easier to understand (certain animated cartoons or television series are much more easier to understand than certain movies, for example). Try something easier, but don't watch everything with the subtitles turned on. If you still can't understand anything (less than 20% and not even the general meaning) without subtitles, then you are not ready to watch anything because your level is still too low. The reason could be your grammar, and probably you need more vocabulary. A very important reason, and the most likely to give you trouble, might be your pronunciation.
So, the answer to your question, "Should learners be shown movies with English or Spanish subtitles?", is: "No subtitles at all, at least the first time." Because as soon as they don't understand, they'll take a look at the subtitles and then go on reading them, and they'll end up reading them mentally with their own accent instead of listening what the speaker actually say. The result is that they won't listen.
End of my opinion. Hope you like it.
Anonymous:I'm totally ok with you, so that, could you tell me any webpage where watching english films with english subtitles?. I'm trying to find so and it's been impossible!!.
Anonymous:I Agree
You are a wise person
Thank you
KooyeenNo, no, no, no, no!!! Never use subtitles in your native language! Never watch a movie in English and use Spanish subtitles, you'll never learn anything at all. If you want to use subtitles, only use English subtitles.I personally believe that subtitles (always turned on) don't help improve comprehension.Wrong! Ever wondered why some nationalities speak better English than others? It's because we have grown up watching subtitled programs. One day as a child I just noticed that I hadn't been reading the subtitles, I understood the dialogue without them. And because it doesn't feel like you are studying, it's much nicer to watch movies in a foreign language and you'll start to pick up words more and more. The more you watch, the more you learn.

Experimental Playwright Explores Drama in Small Town Dance Studio
Writer/director Tina Satter uses the setting of a small-town tap dance studio to frame the desires of individuals looking for larger meaning in tap dance and, indirectly, each other in a new production, House of Dance, being presented off-Broadway at the Abrons Arts Center October 23 to November 9.
Satter, who has written and directed five plays, has been described as a "rising experimental star" by The New York Times and named a 2011 Off-Off Broadway Innovator to Watch by Time Out New York.
Broadway World described the show: "At a tap dance studio in a small town, four characters prepare for a competition. Tensions flare and dead dreams fly back to life as the instructor teaches a new routine to his student. Staged within the four walls of a dance studio, House of Dance creates a hyper-realistic environment that serves as a launching pad where dance practice turns virtuosic, piano accompaniment blossoms into evocative songs, and the roles of student and teacher begin to shift as the characters' fears are exposed."
House of Dance is the third production in New York City Players' American Playwrights Division, a program curated by Richard Maxwell and devoted to producing full productions by emerging writers who direct their own work. Abrons Arts Center is located at 466 Grand Street, on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Tickets are available at www.abronsartscenter.org.

Baryshnikov Onstage in Play Directed by Robert Wilson
Mikhail Baryshnikov is back on stage, this time acting alongside actor Willem Dafoe in a play based on an absurd Russian novella.
Baryshnikov is now appearing in The Old Woman at the Palace Theatre in Manchester, England, just one of the events comprising the 18-day biennial Manchester International Festival. The play, which runs through July 7, is adapted from a work by Russian short-story author Daniil Kharms, about a writer who lets a woman into his house before she promptly dies.
For Baryshnikov, it is the latest step in a career that has evolved through classical ballet, contemporary dance, Broadway, films and New York–based girly TV comedies. The Old Woman is the "most difficult and the most challenging" role of his career, the 65-year-old says.
The challenge has been increased by the demands of director Robert Wilson, a visionary of avant-garde theater who is best known for creating the opera Einstein on the Beach with composer Philip Glass. With most directors, an actor knows how they work and what to expect, Baryshnikov says. "With Bob, every day is an adventure," he explains.
"He asks you to do things which you never dreamt in your life. I sing in this, a little bit, but I never sang on stage. He forced me to choreograph, which I refused many times. I did little things in my past career, but I'm not a choreographer. It is exhausting process and it doesn't let you go 24/7," Baryshnikov says. "For me it's much more exhausting than dancing all day."
Does he miss classical ballet? "No," comes the immediate reply. "Not at all. I rarely go. When my children were small, I used to take them to see the classical heritage and tradition of the Sleeping Beauties and Swan Lakes. But three hours of this, this time would never come back."
Did he not enjoy those parts when he was dancing them? "Very much. I loved performing Giselle and . . . . The classical repertoire for me didn't quite perfect fit because I was on smallish side, it was difficult to find the perfect partner. I was not a very capable partner. I was not very strong. People like Natalia Makarova, Gelsey Kirkland and a few others, when it was really perfect match, it was a pleasure and a lot of fun." But he adds, "There was a natural progression in my quest for something different."

If You Play, You Pay
Everything you need to know about music rights
By Joshua Bartlett
OK, so you own a dance studio. For your classes you use recordings or have a pianist playing various musical scores. Some of those songwriters or composers might include, say, Stevie Wonder, Leonard Bernstein, Duke Ellington, John Lennon, Beyoncé, Neil Diamond, or Gloria Estefan. And artists like these have written some of the millions of song titles and compositions from the last century, including such diverse genres as Broadway show tunes, R&B, rap, rock, hip-hop, classical, Latin, New Age, country, gospel, Christian, and pop. And during the school year, chances are you have recitals and performances that utilize these musical selections.
Do you have to pay royalties to anyone? How do you find out? Or do you just hide your head under the covers and hope that no one will notice?
First of all, let's clarify the definition of music performance rights. Performance rights allow music to be legally performed in public. These rights are part of U.S. copyright law and demand payment to the music's composer/lyricist and publisher.
Music performing rights organizations
There are three major music performing rights organizations in the United States: BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.), ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers) and SESAC, Inc. (originally the Society of European Stage Authors and Composers, but now the acronym is solely used.) These organizations act as agents for the songwriters, composers, and music publishers, so that anyone who wants to use their copyrighted titles doesn't have to negotiate with every artist, which would be a major headache. As a studio owner, a license gives you permission to use the titles covered by the performing rights organizations in your classes and performances.
What are you paying for?
"Under current copyright law, the only performing right that exists is that of the songwriter or the composer and music publisher," says Jerry Bailey, senior director of media relations and business communications at BMI. "For dance classes, that is the only performing right."
Why is that important? Because—apart from the videotaping and distribution of performance tapes (we'll discuss that a little later)—a dance studio owner is not responsible for paying anything to the recording artists or recording companies—only to the creators of the title. "If you are dancing, say, to a Frank Sinatra performance and the song is written by a BMI songwriter, you don't have to worry about the record company or the Frank Sinatra estate," says Bailey. But you do have to pay a fee to BMI.
Keep in mind that we are speaking strictly about the United States in terms of copyright law. Outside our borders, each country has its own laws regarding performing rights, synchronization rights, and master use rights. (The latter two terms will be explained below.)
Bailey claims that BMI represents more than 6.5 million titles, while Vincent Candilora, ASCAP's senior vice president of licensing, says his organization represents more than 8.5 million titles. SESAC represents a much smaller percentage of the music played in the United States, but the number is still, at minimum, in the hundreds of thousands, SESAC's Bill Lee says.
"We see ourselves as the bridge between those who create music and those who use it. The money we collect is not going to record companies—it's going to the creators." —Jerry Bailey of BMI
So unless your studio's classes are accompanied only by Chopin waltzes or improvisational drummers, the odds that you are utilizing some of these titles are extremely high. So what do you do about it?
Studio-related fees
These organizations offer annually renewable dance studio contracts that cover all the titles in their repertory. ASCAP, for example, determines the fee based on the types of classes offered and the number of students enrolled each week. For example, if your school is primarily ballroom oriented and you have 300 students per week, the annual fee is $490.98. If the studio offers a combination of classes—jazz, ballet, tap, modern, aerobic, and gymnastics—then the fee for the same number of students is $368. If you offer solely ballet lessons, the annual charge is $245.
BMI's tiered contract structure is slightly different. It doesn't matter which types of classes are offered—only the number of students. For fewer than 60 students per week, the annual fee is $144; for 250 to 374 students, it's $566. But if you use recorded background music, say, in the reception area or in the dressing rooms, you pay more to BMI. For example, if your school is located on one level and enrolls 250 to 374 students and uses background music (other than the radio), then the fee jumps up to $910.
SESAC's facility license is straightforward: $94 for a full-service license agreement that authorizes any number of instructors, students, or types of classes. SESAC also offers an individual instructor license, so that a freelance teacher who works in a recreation center one day, a YMCA on another day, or a dance school on still another day doesn't have to worry about licensing coverage. (Generally, though, a venue that hires a teacher is responsible for any performance rights fees.)
Likewise, freelance choreographers are commissioned for their choreography and the venues—schools, dance companies, or shows—that commission the works are responsible for paying any performance fees.
Discounted rates
A number of teaching organizations like Dance Masters of America and Dance Educators of America have recently negotiated reduced fees for their members with all three performing rights organizations, so it behooves you to find out if you qualify.
For example, DMA's agreement allows member studios with around 300 students weekly to pay an annual fee of $345 to BMI, $138.11 (combined classes) to ASCAP, and $56.08 to SESAC. The savings is significant. For details on DEA's discount arrangement, contact the organization at 800.229.3868.
Performance fees
And what about recitals and other school performances? "The venue in which the public performance is occurring is responsible for the license," says Candilora, speaking for ASCAP. Most performing venues, just as they need property and liability insurance coverage, own blanket licenses that cover all types of music.
As a studio owner, you technically need a competition/show license from BMI if you rent a performance space from an unlicensed venue—or even if you have an in-studio recital and already have the dance class license. The BMI competition/show license costs $209.10 for up to 15,000 in annual attendance. SESAC's studio license covers a studio and its students no matter where they perform—in a recital, a parade, or a nursing home.
Public domain music
One of the biggest misconceptions about performing rights is that all classical music is in the public domain. (Public domain pertains to what is often legally called "intellectual property"—a range of abstract materials. If that property is in the public domain, it is not owned or controlled by anyone.) It is true that, for example, Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake is in the public domain. But, says Bailey, "the common assumption about classical composers is that they are all dead. Many classical compositions have been written in the last century." (Think of all the minimalist composers like Steve Reich or Philip Glass, just to name one genre of classical music).
According to current copyright law, enacted by Congress in 1999, works created after January 1, 1978, are owned by the composer's estate for the life of the composer plus 70 years. Older works are copyrighted for 95 years from the copyright date. But, as an example, if someone prepares a new guitar arrangement of a Mozart score, that piece could very well be copyrighted and, therefore, not placed in the public domain.
According to Bailey, 98 percent of the colleges and universities in the United States have blanket licenses that cover any group that teaches or performs in some way under the auspices of the institution. Performing rights organizations do not pursue licenses for grammar or secondary schools.
"There are exemptions for educational organizations that are nonprofit," says Candilora. "Composers want students at the secondary and grammar school level to appreciate music. They hate it when budgets get cut, and the arts go first."
Benefit concerts, such as a performance in which all the proceeds go to victims of Hurricane Katrina or to fighting breast cancer, are exempt from copyright law, as long as none of the organizers, promoters, or performers is getting paid.
Synchronization rights
So let's tackle the thorny, complicated issue of videotaping a recital, class, or performance. Two terms need clarification: synchronization rights and master use rights.
Synchronization rights (often referred to as "synch rights") refer to the right to synchronize a composition in timed relation with visual images on the film or tape. Master use rights pertain to obtaining permission to use previously recorded materials, a "master recording," such as a particular orchestra's recorded version of a symphony.
"If someone from Ms. Mary's Studio is using a recording from a CD, and that is what is being blended in on the video, you need permission from the record company—that's the master use rights," says Bill Lee, senior vice president of licensing at SESAC. "If the video has a live performance, with Ms. Mary playing the piano, there are no master use rights. But in either scenario, you need to get synchronization rights, and those you get from a publisher." And it doesn't matter if you are simply videotaping a show for rehearsal purposes or selling DVDs from the show for a profit.
The problem is that not all publishers are easily contacted. "It's a challenge to get the proper authorization [for synchronization rights]. It seems like most people in that scenario fly under the radar," says Lee candidly.
With the rampant use of music in all types of commercial videos, dance schools are hardly the main concern of publishers and recording companies. But the law is the law, however cumbersome or difficult to enforce. Unfortunately, none of the performing rights organizations deals directly with synchronization or master use rights.
But back to the more pertinent issue of performance rights: Unless you are cherry-picking all the recordings you use in your studio (the published titles are available from the performing rights organizations' websites), it makes sense to sign up with all three of them to make sure all your bases are covered. But what happens if you don't do that? Do you get fined? Go to jail?
Performing rights organizations don't fine anyone. It's up to the federal courts to decide on infringement of copyright laws. "We don't just drop in out of the sky and take you to court," says Bailey. "We first try to educate [people] about copyright law, and if it appears that no progress is being made, BMI might file an infringement suit. But more than 95 percent of the cases don't go to trial and are settled. It's always cheaper to license than to go to court."
"Keep in mind who our board is," says Candilora, speaking for the 24 songwriters and music publishers on the board at ASCAP. "It's our very last resort to file a copyright infringement. When we explain the copyright laws to 90 percent of the people who use our music, they comply. We're not going to take some woman who is 60 years old with a dance studio [who is] trying to put her kids through school and wind up filing a suit against her because she is not paying her fees."
Why should you pay?
Given the state of the economy and the struggle that many dance schools are encountering just to cover their overhead costs, why should they pay songwriters and publishers? "We are not trying to make a living off of dance studios," says Candilora. "People have a hard time separating recording artists from composers."
Performing rights organizations were originally created for the sake of and—in most cases—by artists. "We see ourselves as the bridge between those who create music and those who use it. The money we collect is not going to record companies—it's going to the creators," says Bailey. (Generally, overhead fees for performing rights organizations run around 11 or 12 percent, so the rest of the money goes directly to the artists and publishers.)
How do you sign up? The best way is to contact the organizations by phone to determine the type of contract that works best for your situation. In any case, information is a good thing.

Artwork centering on the theme "Homelessness…the Journey" will be exhibited at sites throughout Anoka County in November-Homelessness Awareness Month.
A Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund grant to the Anoka County Library System was used to provide art supplies to area homeless shelters, and the artwork created by those individuals, along with large scale sculptures created by St. Francis High School Art students is now on display at the Anoka County Government Center in Anoka and all the Anoka County Libraries, including the
"Homelessness has many causes and many faces. These days, more of those faces are children. A child who experiences homelessness is much more likely to repeat the occurrence as an adult," said Anoka County Commissioner Robyn West in a statement from Anoka County. "The facts show raising awareness and working toward solutions now will pay dividends in the long run."
The county statement went on:
Homelessness does not have one face. It affects men, women and children of all races, places, ages, and backgrounds. Some have significant barriers to self-sufficiency. Some just can't find affordable housing on their wages. Anoka County is not unaffected by homelessness. One night in January this year, 1,461 people in Anoka County were homeless. Of those, 576 were children and 132 were unaccompanied youth.
View the displays at your local library, where you can also find resources about homelessness. For information about where to find help with housing and homelessness visit www.anoka.lib.mn.us and look for "Getting Help" under Homelessness Resources.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Health chiefs £4,000 hotel stay (From The Bolton News)
Health chiefs £4,000 hotel stay
Updated 4:59pm Friday 22nd February 2013 in News
HEALTH bosses and GPs stayed overnight at a four-star hotel — at a cost of more than £4,000 — to discuss how to save £18 million.
The 24-hour event, spread over two days, at the Marriott Hotel, in Worsley, cost Bolton's Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) £4,060 — £145 per attendee.
Su Long, Bolton CCG's designate chief officer has defended the event and said after looking at alternatives, the hotel was "the best value offer".
But she added the CCG, which is a new body set up to replace the Primary Care Trust, would be reviewing it to make sure it was the "best use of resources".
Ms Long said it would have taken the staff "two months of normal meetings to get through the amount of work" they completed at the hotel, as it allowed them to work "rapidly and intensively".
The 28 health chiefs and GPs spent the time discussing how to find their target savings amount of £18 million and creating a "strategic development plan" for the next financial year.
But the decision to hold the event at the Worsley Hotel has been criticised.
The hotel, which has a pool, spa and fitness studio, charges about £100 per night.
A member of the public, who asked not to be named, said the event included two buffet lunches and dinner and added: "Is this good use of public money, when most of them live with in easy travelling distance and NHS staff are being made redundant? "Could they not have used somewhere less expensive or free to have a team-building day?"
Cllr Andy Morgan, who sits on the Health, Overview and Scrutiny Committee, said he understood the need to have a strategic development event but questioned the decision to hold it at a Worsley hotel, which is just over eight miles from Bolton.
He added: "If they are going to spend that money they should be spending it it in Bolton.
"I wouldn't question that they need to come up with strategic development, they need to get their heads around everything and they have got an important job to do.
"But if they have to spend that money, they should be spending it supporting the local economy."
Members of the CCG's board and leadership team, and 17 GPs, who are clinical leads, gathered at the four-star hotel at 1pm on Thursday, January 31, and left at 1.30pm the next day.
They worked until their evening meal, which was included in the package, socialised during the evening, stayed over and continued to work the next day.
Drinks and other refreshments were paid for by individuals, and some people chose not to stay overnight.
Ms Long said: "We take very seriously someone who is concerned we would waste tax payers money, we really consider what we spend our money on.
"I have felt on reflection it has been a really good use of time and resources, but obviously we always need to look at it and reflect whether it has been a good use of money and whether we should do it again."
She said the CCG had chosen a hotel in order to get people away from the distractions of work and it was something they had learned from other organisations.
GPs were able to complete their morning surgery before travelling to the Worsley hotel and in the evening, they were able to "reflect" on the day's discussions before being "really motivated" the next day.
Ms Long added: "We are a new team and organisation and it is the sort of day that we think is useful for planning the start of the year."
The CCG discussed how to make efficiencies of £18 million.
It needs to save £12 million but is aiming for an additional £6 million for future years.
Ms Long said because of government cuts to CCGs, they were being forced to "spend more to do the same level of care" and needed to find savings so they could continue to provide new services.
Jane Bradford, a Harwood GP and the CCG's clinical lead for prescribing, said: "I found the sessions were valuable in working out our goals this year.
"As a clinical lead, I felt really pleased to be given the opportunity to work with the board in such a proactive way, and am sure the other clinical leads felt the same.
"It was also great to be able to chat to colleagues more informally, and I am sure this will help with us work together as a group more cohesively in the next few months and beyond."
