Indy.Sockets (CLR)
The Indy.Sockets CLR project is a C# port of the popular Indy.Sockets (VCL) project. It is not a straight code port, but instead a rewrite to take advantage of .NET FCL classes and features such as generics, collections, lists, and more. In addition it is being built on top of System.Net.Sockets to allow the highest level of compatibility on all platforms. The project is well under way and we are focusing on core and mail protocols first.
Currently we are hosting our work on CodePlex. Our source files can be accessed using this link.

LiquidLight - You Never Remember.
Background promo - Selected as Portland Oregon's 2015 Best Emerging Alt Rock Band, LiquidLight has momentum and they aren't stopping any time soon. Their newly released first full length album, Uninitiated showcases a band with tremendous potential as a pop-rock powerhouse. Referencing post-punk and alternative bands such as Husker Du and The Replacements, LiquidLight has been described as "melodic, thoughtful and jingle-jangly as well as shred-crazy and powerful". Founder Anthony Medici's catchy song writing style and lead vocals steer the tight musicianship obvious in the band. LiquidLight has managed to produce an album that is not quite like anything else hitting your ear drums lately, pursuing balance and clarity with respect to great rock tradition and a sound uniquely their own.
In an age where popular culture pushes to "out-extreme" the latest and greatest, LiquidLight pursues balance and clarity with respect to great rock tradition. With a high standard of execution, strong melodies and elements of psychedelic and alternative influences, the music conveys a new, yet referential optimism.
Songwriters Anthony Medici and Cory West, the leading forces of LiquidLight, are each highly accomplished multi-instrumentalists backed by an explosive and versatile rhythm section - drummer Zack Rodrigues and bassist Gage Dean. Medici's lead vocals lend a cryptic yet powerful element to the sound and structure of the band, echoing the melodic sensibilities of the college/alternative era.
The songs and album have been around for a few months, however they must have passed me by first time around. Anyhow, catching up on them has been more than worthwhile. The featured song 'You Never Remember' has an addictive laid back melodic, indie rock feel to it. The band are more than able to deliver more punchy material along the way, as demonstrated on the current album 'Uninitiated' which mixes up the rock'n'roll, keeping the listener in expectation of what's to follow.
Jamie Berry - Lost In The Rhythm ft. Octavia Rose (Original Mix).
Background words - They last recorded together back in 2012 creating the electro-swing classic Delight. Now, this year Jamie Berry (Electro-Swing producer & DJ from Leeds), teams up again with enigmatic singer Octavia Rose with their new single through Flak Records 'Lost In the Rhythm', which will feature on their upcoming debut album later on this year!
Fusing original vintage style vocals, horns, and Gypsy guitar, with contemporary analogue bass synths and energetic beats Lost In the Rhythm is Jamie's biggest production yet, and is the start to a very exciting first album!
This is such a fine song, what's not to love about it. Octavia Rose's vocals are so well suited to this style of song, whilst Jamie Berry delivers a wonderfully rich take on swing. Vibrant throughout the song is a roller-coaster of swirling musical vibes that non dancers will struggle to stay still to.
SKYES - Quarks.
Background promo - SKYES releases their highly anticipated Quarks EP. The EP release follows the success of SKYES first few singles, "Quarks" "Dry" and "Give Me More." The hauntingly brilliant tracks showcase lead singer Dallin's vocal ability and range, as well as the bands overall original and unique style. The band had a massively successful SXSW run, having performed two official showcases and opening for band, X Ambassadors.
"Quarks" has achieved massive viral success as it was featured on Spotify's New Music Friday and Weekend Buzz play lists last week with over 149K listens to date. The three members of SKYES like to say that their band was born in the back of a van, somewhere in the middle of America. More specifically, they describe, "where the drive from New York City to Los Angeles really starts to take hold, right around Joshua Tree." So, maybe, SKYES is a perfectly appropriate name, illustrative of an endlessly talented trio whose music the 405 has called "a mysterious, holy-like experience."
Formed in 2010, SKYES is comprised of Dallin Knightly (vocals/piano), Dan Tirer (guitar) and Artie Fleischmann (bass). Dallin and Dan grew up in the Philadelphia suburbs, while Artie's first musical playground was about 150 miles up 1-95, in Long Island. After playing together in bands like Funky Butter and Emanuel and the Fear, Dallin and Dan joined rocker Ryan Star's touring band, where they met Artie.
Since their inception, SKYES has evolved from a ragtag sleepless rock and roll rebel rousers to an experimental synth-pop powerhouse, releasing several acclaimed digital singles and an eponymous EP along the way. Drawing on influences like Tom Waits, Talking Heads and Radiohead, SKYES has perfected a sound that is as powerful as it is ethereal, highlighted by buoyant rhythms and Dallin's seductive, silky vocals.
Title track from the EP and previous single release, 'Quarks' is a good indicator of the fine quality of material contained on this five track EP. The band can mix up the energy, moods and rhythms, and are not afraid to experiment within what is broadly synth-pop music. It's a good collection of songs, from a band who have clearly honed their skills and know how to write and produce some very good material.

A former Moreno Valley parks director is the first declared candidate seeking to replace Mayor Tom Owings in a recall election.
George Price, 65, is preparing for the council race in Owingsâ District 3 though an election date has yet to be set. He has formed a campaign committee and created a campaign website and Facebook page.
Price said heâs running because heâs disappointed with Owings, who is the subject of a corruption probe along with other city council members. Priceâs campaign website discusses his desire to bring back âintegrity, honesty and trust.â
âHe seems to cater to special interests,â Price said of Owings. âHeâs really gone beyond the scope of his responsibilities as a council member. I donât think he has the best interests of all of his constituents.â
Owings said heâs concentrating his energy on telling voters about his accomplishments and convincing them to keep him in office.
âI wish all the people who announce and run for my seat good luck but I am focused on retaining my seat,â he said.
The Riverside County Registrar of Voters determined Jan. 16 that a recall group had collected enough signatures to require a recall election. The City Council was expected to ratify that finding at its Tuesday, Jan. 28, meeting and will likely set an election date at its Feb. 11 meeting. City officials expect to consolidate the recall vote with the June 4 primary election.
Owings was targeted after federal investigators searched his home along with those of three other council members and two businesses in April. FBI and Riverside County district attorneyâs office officials have said they are investigating political corruption.
Price said he has a long history in Moreno Valley. For example, he served on several community boards and was named a citizen of the year in 2005. Price was the cityâs first parks and recreation director in 1991 and served until he retired in 2006.
âI feel I have something to offer,â Price said. âIâm pretty familiar with how the city operates and Iâd like to help.â
Heâs also served as a part-time aide to Paul Cook, when he served in the state assembly and later as a member of Congress.

In Magi-Nation, the player takes control of a boy named Tony Jones who is dared by his friends to enter a spooky cave. After finding his way in he gets lost and finds a magical world inside called the Moonlands filled with many magical creatures. Now he must fight his way back to the mouth of the cave and escape back to reality.The gameplay is a mixed blend of many types. The main gameplay is in the style of an RPG such as Final Fantasy, where the player explores the world, encountering enemies to fight, locating treasures and relics that can be used in battles, and talking to other magical creatures to help find clues to escape.
The battle sequences are a blend of Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!. The player battles enemies using a turn-based card system with captured monsters from previous fights, and can use certain relics scattered throughout the world to combine with their monster/card to help them defeat enemies and advance. However, there is only a certain amount of relics so the player must use careful strategy when using them in battle.

What a wonderful oasis
Excellent fresh food and juices great staff and a perfect ambience this is my favorite Vegetarian place for miles
I love it here!
The food is so delicious, the atmosphere is very calm and relaxing, it's perfect! My only complaint is I wish it was open later so I could come after work!
Very good food
One of the best vegan foods in this area. You have to taste the French onion soup and the TeX Mex. You will fall in love.
Pros: vegan, great taste, lot's of options, decent inter
very nice place
We are vegan and stumbled upon this place because I recognized the name from the Happy Cow app. Very nice cafe with fresh organic options and friendly people.
Love consciousfork!
This is a great vegan food, juice and smoothie bar in Warwick! I'm so glad to know them & eat their delicious, local, organic food. I love the build-a-bowl menu!!!
Pros: vegan, friendly, clean
Fantastic food, unpretentious.
The food and atmosphere may say Manhattan, but the service is small-town charm all the way. Kim and Jamie are extremely nice, and bring a lot of attention to detail into delicious, fulfilling food. It's the kind of place where every visit is bound to bring new experience. Read a magazine, chat with locals, drink some juice, nibble some free popcorn, have a food bowl...don't miss the pesto- it's to die for. And when you're done, don't forget to finish your meal with some trail mix, an amazing vegan macaroon, or a chocolate bar from Warwick-local Bixby's. We will definitely be making Conscious Fork a part of our weekly ritual.
Pros: Good Food, Good Ideas, Good People
Cons: Expensive, Limited Seating

One of the goodies I brought home from the GIG Conference in June was 2 large bags of coffee cake mix, given to me by the head chef. It was extra mix that didn't get used for breakfast one day. Seeing as June was awhile back, and I was wallowing in pregnancy misery for months afterward, I cannot accurately recall where the mix came from. I'm pretty sure it was a Cravings Place mix, but unfortunately, the company did not respond to my email.
The only thing written on the bag is "coffee base – makes one full hotel pan." I don't know how big a hotel pan is, or what I'm supposed to add to the mix to get coffee cake.
Never fear, experimentation is here.
But if I'm going to experiment, I'm not going for coffee cake. I want cookies.
Batch #1:
1 cup mystery coffee cake mix
1/2 stick margarine (1/4 cup)
2 eggs
3/4 cup raisins
Bake at 350° for 10 minutes.
These cookies were a little muffiny/cakey. Some people like that. I like it for breakfast cookies, but not for snacking cookies.
Batch #2
1 cup mystery coffee cake mix
1 stick margarine (1/2 cup)
1 egg
1 cup raisins
1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
Bake at 350° for 10 minutes.
These cookies were too crumbly. However, after they sat for a couple of hours, they were just fine.
Batch #3
1 & 1/2 cup mystery coffee cake mix
1 stick margarine (1/2 cup)
2 eggs
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup butterscotch chips (Kroger brand are gf, Nestle are not)
Bake at 350° for 10 minutes.
These were my favorite. I really like the butterscotch, and the texture was just right.
I did not add any sugar to these cookies. The mix was not real sweet, but I preferred it that way. Oats were next on my list to add, but by that time I had a cranky baby. I'm surprised I was able to make 3 batches of cookies. I will probably try some more in a few days, since I only used 1/2 of one bag (and I really like cookies).
Have you ever made something out of a mystery mix?
October 2nd – I love her bow!
October 9th – She's now too big for the preemie clothes (the 2 outfits I had, lol). She's getting too big for the "newborn" size as well. That green outfit in the previous picture is the only one of those I had, along with 2 pairs of pajamas. The pajamas in this picture are a 0-3, which are all still too big. Corice looks like she's wearing football shoulder pads, because she's sliding down in her clothes, lol.
We had our first bad evening last night. She cried for hours, which is more than she usually cries in a week. I had no idea what was wrong, either. Thankfully, she seems to be fine this morning. She's just laying here on my lap, sucking on her pacifier (not something she generally does, though).

re: Is it rational to be afraid to travel to India?Jul 29, 2008 hey doc, just wanted to give a little reassurance to the greece guy travelling to india, that banglore infact is a very very clean city as compared to cities like Calcutta and Mumbai, so need not be worried, all he has to really be careful of i think is to always have bottled water, and not eat junk food off the roads. . . its ok for indians to do that coz our immune systems by now are seasoned ! lol, infact my friends when they are down from london or new york they ofetn fall very sick if they do indulge in streetside food so it really doesnt matter whether u r hiv + or -, just stay off that kinda food here ! otherwise i assure u banglore is clean and quite infectious free as compared to other cities. hope u have fun in the land of LOVE ! :-)) WIF (worried indian female) |
Response from Dr. FrascinoHi WIF, Many thanks for your input! I'll pass it along. When traveling overseas, I often recommend travelers get a prescription of ciprofloxacin (Cipro). It's an antibiotic that's helpful in treating infectious traveler's diarrhea. It's one other precaution that might help prevent a nasty case of what we often call Montezuma's Revenge.

Pressure-Driven DNA in Nanogroove Arrays: Complex Dynamics Leads to Length- and Topology-Dependent Separation
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2011
The motion of linear and circular DNA molecules
is studied under pressure driven buffer flow in a 50 nm slit channel with arrays of transverse 150 nm deep nanogrooves. Transport occurs through two states of propagation unique to this nanogroove geometry, a slow, stepwise groove-to-groove translation called the "sidewinder" and a fast, continuous tumbling across the grooves called the "tumbleweed". Dynamical transitions between the two states are observed at fixed buffer velocity. Molecules exhibit size- and topology-dependent

Appalachian Mountains
The Appalachian Mountains (French: les Appalaches) are a large group of North American mountains. They are partly in Canada, but mostly in the United States. They form an area from 100 to 300 miles wide, running 1,500 miles from the island of Newfoundland in Canada to central Alabama in the United States. The individual mountains average around 3,000 ft (900 m) in height. The highest is Mt. Mitchell in North Carolina (6,684 ft or 2,037m). Mt. Mitchell is also the highest point in the United States east of the Mississippi River as well as the highest point in eastern North America.
The Appalachians today are the worn-down remains of a once huge mountain chain. They first formed about 480 million years ago during the Ordovician and once reached heights similar to that of the Alps and the Rocky Mountains.[1][2] The Appalachian chain is a barrier to east-west travel as ridgelines and valleys run north-south and travelers must climb them again and again. Only a few mountain passes run east-west. The Erie Canal was built through one of them. In most places the Appalachians are the watershed between the drainage basins of the Mississippi River and the Atlantic Ocean.
The term Appalachia is used to refer to regions associated with the mountain range. It refers to the mountain range and the hills and plateau region around it. The term is often used to refer to just areas in the central and southern Appalachian Mountains. These areas usually include parts of the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina, and sometimes extending as far south as northern Georgia and western South Carolina, as far north as Pennsylvania, and as far west as southeastern Ohio. In 1965 the United States Congress created an Appalachian Regional Commission to include these areas and more, as far west as Mississippi.
Birth[change | change source]
The birth of the Appalachian ranges, some 480 million years ago (mya), was the first of several mountain-building plate collisions which made the supercontinent Pangaea. The Appalachians were at the center of the newly formed Pangaea. North America and Africa were connected, and the Appalachians were part of the same mountain chain as the "Anti-Atlas" or Little Atlas Mountains in Morocco. This mountain range, known as the Central Pangean Mountains, extended into Scotland, from the North America/Europe collision (see Caledonian orogeny).

Lucy Wood's beguiling debut collection is set along the coastlines of her native Cornwall, and draws on a rich Cornish tradition of myth and folklore. In these tales, children play among the bleached bones of giants; young women are transformed into standing stones on clifftops; ageing pensioners plunge beneath the waves to search for spouses lost at sea.
The risk with this sort of fantastical writing is that it comes across as too misty and ethereal, but Wood cleverly anchors her stories in a banal – and very English – quotidian reality. The finest piece, "Blue Moon", is set in a nursing home for witches, in which the residents store their potions in old bottles of HP sauce, and the amiable staff take time out from their admin duties to corral the familiars.

Hostile environment awaits Argentina in Lima
When the Argentinian national football team arrived in Lima, swathes of local fans greeted Lionel Messi by chanting his name, while a small minority hurled abuse. Like all global superstars, Messi provokes mixed feelings. But in Peru, far from expressing bad blood, the home supporters are plotting to unsettle the Barça wizard to the benefit of the Peruvian team.
As part of this campaign, in Tuesday's qualifier between the two nations the home crowd has promised to target Messi by chanting "Cristiano, Cristiano", an allusion to his high-profile rivalry with the Real Madrid and Portugal star, who regularly suffers similar treatment (chants of "Messi") in Europe.
"I love you Messi!" was the phrase most commonly shouted as the Argentina camp descended on Lima. However, the Argentina captain was subjected to his fair share of abuse, too. The world's best player strikes fear into the hearts of opposition fans and players alike, and there is much debate as to how to best go about stopping him faced with the fact that if he gets into the groove, he will run rings around you.
The Peru coach Sergio Markarián believes that tight man-marking is the key to keeping the Barça forward in check. The supporters, meanwhile, intend to crank up the heat on him in the hope that he wilts.
Tuesday's clash is Argentina and Peru's seventh in the South American qualifying zone for the 2014 World Cup. The 'Albiceleste' currently leads the standings, while Peru needs to win to climb towards the top half of the table.

Earlier in the week Scott Walker again showed that he will say just about anything to advance his political career. He basically promised to completely eliminate all unemployment in Wisconsin. Only days after making such a grandiose statement, how odd is it that he has actually moved us further in the opposite direction? The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that Walker has laid off 76 working families. This is only the latest news in Walker's practice of sending people to the unemployment line. Given all of these facts and recent developments, maybe the Walker tally on jobs should start with a negative number.
Wrong Way Walker's actions this week remind me of this classic blooper in NFL history:

Oh but he is! He is creating new jobs! 250,000 to be exact. Right around tax return time.
The Liberty Tax Service mascots! - 11:58 AM
Cory, I just think you are wrong on Walker not being about to create 250,000 jobs. He can do it! As governor, Walker will lay off all state, county and local government workers and provide tax incentives to private businesses to lay off employees as well. Then everyone will be re-hired through Manpower.

Excuse me for the self-promotion, but Walker's job line is the gaffe that keeps on giving.

How do you know which insurance company to trust and which one to stay away from? With the well-known companies such as Aetna and Blue Cross Blue Shield it is easy. They have been around for decades and have well known track records. When they have a significant problem it is reported in the news but what about the lesser known companies such as Cinergy Health Insurance.
The first thing I tend to do is check the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.com. If the company has been around for a while, it is likely to have a record there. If there are Cinergy Health Insurance complaints, you should see the number of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau and how many were resolved to the customer's satisfaction. When I checked on Cinergy Health Insurance in the state of Florida, I discovered that they had lost their BBB accreditation in that state on February 17, 2010. The BBB stated that the business had failed to meet the standards of conduct expected of a BBB member.
In fact, many of the Cinergy Health Insurance reviews I have read seem to indicate that their product is closer to a scam than health insurance. Check out www.complaints.com/cinergy. It appears Cinergy Health Insurance isn't an insurance company at all. Yet another source for reviews is http://www.consumeraffairs.com/insurance/cinergy.html. They sell insurance products administered by other companies. This means they don't really have control over the products they sell. The providing companies could change their products and Cinergy Health Insurance could not do anything about it. So if some coverage gets dropped, Cinergy Health Insurance may have promised coverage for something that is no longer covered.
The company has a website www.cinergyhealth.com which does list a Cinergy Health Insurance phone number. It is 1-800-847-9151. The website does not provide much information which isn't surprising if they aren't in full control of their product. It does include a link to get health insurance quotes. The website suggests that Cinergy Health Insurance is not meant to replace regular health insurance, catastropic health insurance or primary medical insurance. What is left? Discounts on medical products and possibly some preventive care.
You can look up the rating of an insurance company with a rating service such as A.M. Best or Moody's. Cinergy Health Insurance does not have a rating I could find. So their financial strength is in question. When you look this up, don't confuse Cinergy Health with the energy company Cinergy which does have a rating.
With the internet as an advertising tool, it is very easy to create a store front that looks legitimate but with this company I would be very careful. There are a lot of caution flags flying up when I read about this company. Having your Better Business Bureau membership revoked is a huge flag in my book since I know of plenty of companies with non stellar records that are reported on the BBB site. Unfortunately, I have had experience with some of those companies. Personally, I would not care to repeat some of those experiences, especially not with something as important as health insurance.
You want your health insurance provider to be fiscally stable and rock solid as far as their conduct goes. After all, you only need the insurance when you are sick. Exactly the time when you don't want to have to deal with questionable business people. Before you consider buying insurance from Cinergy Health Insurance, double and triple check their record in your state. I always give a business the benefit of the doubt, but with this company you should be very careful with your research.

A Team That Can't Be Beat: Women & Minorities in the Political Arena
The Power of a Woman Leading the Way
Shaping the Future of Hispanics in the US
Patti Solis Doyle is a nationally recognized political organizer and campaign strategist. She speaks regularly on the rise of women and minorities in politics, presidential campaigns, and issues affecting Hispanic Americans. Solis Doyle is also a CNN political contributor.
She is President of Solis Strategies, a communications firm serving non-profits, NGOs, and corporations.
Solis Doyle also cofounded The Vendor Assistance Program, LLC (VAP), a Chicago-based financial services firm. VAP helps state governments finance and accelerate payments to their vendors, so those vendors can fund their operations, manage their cash flow, recognize revenue earlier, expand their businesses, and create more local jobs. VAP recently raised $340 million for its program with the State of Illinois.
Solis Doyle has enjoyed a 25-year career in politics, presidential campaigns, and public service. She began her career working on Richard Daley's campaign for Mayor of Chicago and later worked at Chicago City Hall. In 1991, she was among the first to join then Governor Bill Clinton's presidential campaign. She served as a senior advisor to Hillary Clinton throughout that campaign and two terms in the White House. In 2000, Solis Doyle served as chief of staff to the First Lady's first Senate campaign. She later managed Senator Clinton's political operations, PAC, and 2006 re-election campaign. As campaign manager of Clinton's presidential bid (from January 2007 through February 2008), Solis Doyle was the first Hispanic woman to lead a presidential campaign.
During the 2008 general election, Solis Doyle joined the Obama for America campaign as chief of staff for Vice Presidential operations. In this role, Solis Doyle built a national team of policy, communications, political, and field operatives in advance of the nominee's selection. She later managed day-to-day operations for Vice Presidential nominee Joe Biden. During the 2012 presidential election, Solis Doyle served as an advisor to the Obama-Biden campaign.
In addition to her work with Solis Strategies, CNN, and VAP, Solis Doyle works with Hispanic service organizations and student organizations across the U.S.
Hispanic Magazine has honored Solis Doyle with the "Latinas of Excellence Award" for her accomplishments in the area of government, politics and civil leadership. She also received the "Siempre Inspiran" award from Siempre Mujer magazine, honoring remarkable Latinas whose achievements and contributions to their communities are helping shape the future of Hispanic women in this country. Hispanic Business Magazine named her one of America's "100 Most Influential Hispanics."
Solis Doyle received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication from Northwestern University. She currently resides in Washington, DC with her husband and two children.

DownPour Festival happens each year because so many loyal fans get invested, and get involved, with the work of this ministry. Whether it is through prayer, regular monthly giving, volunteering, working on a street team, or partnering ministries, DownPour simply could not exist without generous, committed, dedicated, and passionate hearts like YOU. Here are some ways you can get involved with making DownPour Festival happen year after year! God Bless!
GIVING: "God's ways are not our ways. There is no striving in the Kingdom. The Father owns everything. He gifts each of us in different ways for different work. The (ministry name) team is called to minister Jesus' heart to lost and hurting people in the midst of life. He calls some to go, as this staff and board have done…and calls others to send. Most of us are budgeted and we can be effective each year with electronic monthly faithfulness. Your monthly gift helps us continue to minister three months and six months from now when the single gifts are gone. There is no gift too small, as the Lord loved the 'Widows Mite'…just as there is no gift too large either because 'to whom much is given much is required.' It all adds up. Whatever the Lord speaks to you is the right number and will be a blessing.
PRAYER: There is nothing more powerful than prayer, and we covet yours for DownPour Festival. We would love to have you praying for us, and there are many specific areas where you can effectively pray for the DownPour ministry. Wisdom; pray that the decisions we make are made with the wisdom of Christ, and of a discerning spirit. Life Change; the reason we do this is to see lives changed. Please pray that Gods spirit would not only be among us, but also that he would guide his people to come and encounter, and respond to him. Finances; He is the provision for His vision, but we have to answer the call. Please pray that people will step up and embrace and support the work of DownPour. His ministry….His heart….His kingdom.
VOLUNTEER: DownPour Festival is so blessed to have great volunteers. The festival could be pulled off without the event organizers, but if we did not have such faithful people willing to serve alongside us, it would never happen! Not a volunteer yet? Want to continue volunteering? Well, There are many areas where we always need support. Read through them, and let us know what fits You best!
STREET TEAM: Street teams are a relatively new concept for DownPour. We need your help, in your community. If you were to become one of our street team members and/or leaders, here's what you could expect; you would receive promotional items directly from DownPour such as posters, promo videos, radio PSA spots, flyers, literature, and possibly prize type items to get out to your community. These things would then be yours to put up, pass out, give away, and make accessible to those in your community, thereby helping us spread the word about DownPour. We cannot be in all communities without your help, and we would love to have you working as ambassadors in your community for DownPour.
PARTNER: Over the years, DownPour has been blessed to partner with other ministries in an effort to advance the Kingdom. We realize that there are many things that we would like to do, and that effective ministries are out there already doing them and would benefit from our support, just as we would benefit from their support. If you are part of a ministry that is interested in becoming a Ministry Partner with DownPour, we would love to talk with you, and see if we can establish a relationship that would be mutually beneficial.

Gaaahhh!! 60 dollars an hour? How am I ever going to afford the 4 lessons a month that one would usually get with group lessons? Which would be $240!! Anyone whom ever took private lessons how in the WORLD did you afford this? Would I be able to get away with just taking one or two private classes a month and then practice at home?
I figure with the specialized more concentrated attention from the one-on-one with the instructor I should break-even with 2 classes a month as opposed to the 4 classes a month where the instructor is busy focusing on the group as a whole, and not specialized attention to any one person.
There are some in-depth discussions of the cost of lessons in the ballroom thread. Some of the observations apply. Some don't. But it makes for interesting reading material. :-D
They cost so much because students like you and me are willing to pay as much. 100-150 / hour is not unheard of - 60 sounds cheap.
there is something magical about 60/hour (1/min) - massages tend to cost about this much as well... i wonder why.
Agreed quix. It's what the market will bear. And, IMHO, there are other factors, such as the cost of doing business. Any freshman (I think managerial) accounting class covers the basic formulae used to calculate fees for a service-based business. Plug in the numbers. I took managerial accounting a billion years ago, and the numbers came out very close to $60 an hour, then. Customers like to forget about overhead. Too bad service providers don't have that luxury. *shrug*
Firstly.. why do you think you need private lessons ?. Unless you have a major learning difficulty, class work may/should address all of your immediate needs . The occasional private lesson to get " feedback ", should suffice for now . And, you may find a partner who is willing to share the cost.
I used to charge $50 for 50 minutes of private math tutoring - pre-algebra through calculus - a couple of years ago. That was less than many private tutors here charged. I had zero overhead aside from gas to drive to the library. So I don't think the $60 per hour for dance lessons is excessive. As to how we afford privates, that is another can o'worms that can be searched for in the archives.
This is certainly a common question. If you do the math, i.e., nobody booked for 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, need to pay taxes, skilled labor, floor fees, etc., etc., this is a pretty reasonable rate. It feels like a lot if you are starting out, but lower than this, and it would be hard to find anyone willing to teach private lessons.
Unless things have changed that dramatically since I left the States, ( '05 )majority of teachers in the last metro area in which I worked, charged $40/50 per hr.. and Im speaking very high quality teaching. In the U.K. , thats a common rate (30/35 £s ) .
I would agree with this. Examine your goals and see how many privates you really need. If you're just learning for social dance, you may only need the occasional feedback session. Of course, if you're looking at a competition or something, more may be needed.
There are people who charge less. I know of one ballroom studio in Syracuse NY that charges $40/hr for a private lesson for one person. They are ok, from what I've heard. I also charge less than the usual 60, but that is for lessons either at my home or at someone else's home close by. If I have to travel, or rent studio space, I will add additional charges to my hourly fee for one person private dance lesson. And around 60/65 per hour does seem to be the going rate, as others have said. Another possible cheaper option is checking out college ballroom teams. Often students on those teams will offer private lessons for about 20 an hour. I've taken a few of those and if you choose well they can be quite good for the beginner starting out.
Depends of course on where you are, and what the cost of living is. Around here, $60/hr is pretty cheap.
I agree with Tangotime. Also, even if the group classes do not address your needs, you can always purchase high quality instructional DVD's from Dance Vision or USISTD as a supplement. I have found them to be of immense value as a supplement to the group classes. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.
It was my fear, after reading quite a few posts, that many beginning salsa male dancers have no one to dance with when they go to group classes. As everyone will avoid him at all costs. Surely it would make no sense to spend the $25/month, only to get there and find out that I would have to sit out all of the practices because no one will dance with me.
In all honesty, instructors should force everyone to participate with everyone and to rotate partners
And how would you know this would actually happen to "you" if you don't at least try it? And do not go just once...go several times. I have lots and lots of friends (leaders) who started out in Salsa group classes and simply asked the "follow" for a dance so he could practice what he learned. Most were willing...then again...you will not know...if you do not ask. BTW,,,go to college dances, organization dances, community dances, church dances...don't select just one social event/outlet to attend - go to lots. You may find, exactly what your looking for.
You've got to try at least once, $25/month is pretty moderate, around here you're looking at $50/month. The only way you are in danger of your fear being realized is if the teacher doesn't have the class rotate partners, and if that is the case, you might want to consider a different class.

Singapore: Japanese drug giant Takeda has joined hands with the National Cancer Center (NCC), Japan, to discover and develop novel cancer therapies and anti-cancer interventions.
As per the deal, Takeda and NCC will contribute to the development of basic research including studies on pathogenesis and drug susceptibility of cancer by promoting exchanges among researchers, physicians, and others engaged in anti-cancer drug discovery and cancer biology research.
"Takeda is so pleased to partner with the NCC," said, Mr Michael Vasconcelles, MD, head, Oncology Therapeutic Area Unit,Takeda. "By leveraging NCC's clinical research with Takeda's technology infrastructure and tools for drug discovery, we hope that together we can have greater impact in a shorter amount of time to bring innovative treatments to the oncology community."
In addition, to further deepen their cooperation, Takeda has also participated in the national academic-industrial collaboration genomic screening project "SCRUM-Japan" led by the NCC. SCRUM-Japan involves nation-wide medical institutions and pharma companies to collaborate and screen oncogene abnormalities.
Through access of the genetic and medical information database generated by this project, Takeda and NCC aim to accelerate the research and development of new medicines.
"NCC is expecting a lot to be newly created by exchanging an agreement for the partnership with Takeda," said, Mr Hitoshi Nakagama, MD, director, National Cancer Center Research Institute. "By sharing bio-resources, including various types of cancer cell lines and animal models, biological and biochemical techniques for functional screenings, and huge amounts of clinical materials attached with detailed pathological and clinical information, further acceleration for development of Japan-oriented novel medicine and diagnostics is expected to be promptly achieved."

Another successful tribute to Tennessee
The Commercial Dispatch was a great impetus to the success of the Tennessee Williams Tribute and Tour of Victorian Homes this year. Jan Swoope out did herself in giving feature attention to all the events. Her stories and the calendar in the Sunday paper made the region aware of the 11th annual event to honor America's greatest playwright and his home/welcome center at 300 Main Street. Every event was packed with attendees from Columbus and around the USA.
The two Victorian homes, Griffin Eyrie owned by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Bullock and La Vie Dansante owned by Mr. and Mrs. Michael Kacho were splendid additions as first-time tour participants with the TWT. Thanks to the support of citizens donations, our city and county government, local businesses, and sponsors too numerous to mention. We must recognize the help of the Columbus Convention and Visitors Bureau, Mississippi University for Women, the Columbus Public Library Tennessee Williams Exhibit (Sept-Oct),the Columbus Arts Council, Main Street Columbus, St. Paul's Episcopal Church and many more.
Over 700 from Columbus and around the country and the USA attended the play--The Rose Tattoo at MUW and all students in the region were admitted FREE which gave the future generations of actors and poetry readers a new enthusiasm for Tennessee Williams' works. Thank you again for recognizing the importance of Tennessee Williams to Columbus' tourism as he is seen all over the world as the most recognizable person ever born in Columbus.
See you next year.

Interzone / Re: Capitalism plus dope equals genocide
« on: April 10, 2010, 06:52:25 AM »
There are hard drugs, but I feel the article also relates to more subtle addictions like fast food, shopping or watching TV. These are all easy way to pleasure yourself in a society where everyone is concerned with him or herself alone. These occupations have the same effect as heroin. They are not deadly to your body, but to your mind.
Interzone / Capitalism plus dope equals genocide
« on: April 05, 2010, 02:58:24 AM »
This is a Black Panther pamphlet from 1970. It is still very relevant today. The premise is that in a Capitalist society dope is a necessary illness.
The government is well aware of the fact that even if they were able to stop the importation of heroin, dope dealers and addicts would simply find another drug to take its place. The government is totally incapable of addressing itself to the true causes of drug addiction, for to do so would necessitate effecting a radical transformation of this society. The social consciousness of this society, the values, mores and traditions would have to be altered. And this would be impossible without totally changing the way in which the means of producing social wealth is owned and distributed. Only a revolution can eliminate the plague.

Interzone / Re: Question about understanding music
« on: March 07, 2010, 03:29:43 PM »
This is Your Brain on Music is a good book, you should read it. It will provide you with many answers. As for myself, I should say that as a kid I was taught piano for a few years while in actuality I was not very fond of (any) music at all. Now, several years later, I enjoy lots of music (including classical like you mentionned) and I realise I dumb I was not to take the opportunity to learn piano seriously. Yes, we do get more intelligent, but we (or at least I) also get more pretentious and aware of the impression we might leave on others. It's always good to drop a little "Fauré" or "Gould" in a discussion - keeps the others in check. You know what I mean? I do feel there is a part of (some) people's general appreciation of music such as jazz and classical that has to do with pretense.
Interzone / Re: The brain acting as a reduction valve.
« on: March 06, 2010, 04:57:33 AM »
I do not consume cannabis because the people selling it look strange and thus I do not trust the product. Would it be legal (in Canada) and the production of quality cannabis encouraged, I would probably try cannabis. I wonder if in the Netherlands, where I believe it is legal, the quality is monitored.
Personally, I started to appreciate opera with Puccini's "Madama Butterfly". You are already skeptical about librettos hence you might not like the story behind "Madama Butterfly", but the music is great. I was told to look for the subtle things that make Puccini good. For example, closely listen to the ambient choruses that subtly accompany singers. Also, examine how Puccini progressively builds powerful melodies out of arias and subsequently interrupts the sound of voices right before the melodic climax (i.e. Turandot's "Nessun Dorma").
Interzone / Re: Why you've never really heard the "Moonlight" Sonata
« on: March 03, 2010, 12:33:33 AM »
We could extend this discussion to how recording music is "killing" music (classical music especially). Remember there was a time when you actually had to learn to play an instrument in order to enjoy music (or at the very least, most likely if you were bourgeois, go to a concert). I believe on the other hand that recording contemporary music is not such an issue because the recording is more or less part of the creative process.
Metal / Re: Finding new classical music
« on: March 02, 2010, 07:40:05 AM »
I recommend Josef Suk, a student of Dvorak, and his "Asrael" symphony. I remember somebody here made me discover Frederick Delius and his "Mass of Life" inspired by the works of Nietzsche. I suggest you listen to that too if you do not know the piece. To my knowledge, he is generally overlooked. Delius incorporated elements of Afro-American music in his work before Gershwin did.

Metal / Re: Appreciating Metal Vocals
« on: February 27, 2010, 07:31:33 AM »
Good thread, I appreciate metal vocals myself and consider them important in creating the desired atmosphere in a song. The guttural sounds of the early Napalm Death albums (especially on the Peel sessions album) particularly appeal to me. I consider them essential to the music Napalm Death seem to have wanted to create at that time. I feel today most death metal bands share vocals that have too much in common, as if they had willingly chose to elect only the median form of growl. I also do believe Demilich singer sung in a toilet since I have yet to find out how he actually manipulated his voice.

« on: February 27, 2010, 07:18:15 AM »
This article is completely irrelevant. This is why I stopped classifying music that way (metal, etc.). To me there is good music and bad music. Mastodon is just crap. Boris is great (although their distortion-heavy experiments sometimes fail). One thing is certain, telling people not to snob "hipsters" (with the premise that everyone is equal) is hipster (so is being vegetalian).

« on: February 27, 2010, 07:08:45 AM »What I'm seeing here in many of these posts holds little substance. The higher echelons of society are the areas where any human being should aspire to be. My uncle's story gave me great inspiration - he graduated from a state school when he was only 20 and was listening to Morbid Angel, Sepultura, Slayer and Metallica whilst he applied for Medical School, and finaly got accepted at Duke University. Nearly 20 years later, he has an MD and a PHD - teaches at a University and mocks students who listen to electronic music and poppy rock music. He still wears an earring, still fancies a Slayer t shirt whenever he's not teaching and still buys CD's.
Funny aside: I have a friend whose father is a pathologist. He told me some metal albums in the family collection often went missing and that they could only be at his father's workplace. The man is most likely performing autopsies to the music of Metallica and the likes.
I believe I have read somewhere that King Diamond is a pharmacist.

Consider Frank Zappa. A blend of humor, rock (progressive), jazz, classical music and wits.

In order manage and measure ongoing performance, organizations typically train and certify their employees to ensure competency levels. Tasks include measuring operations, personal achievement and satisfaction levels. Identifying, using and interpreting performance measures for training use analytical techniques and tools to help support efficient and effective business operations. Performance management, an overall system including detection and prevention activities, enables companies to be sure training is quality, so they can produce products and services that best meet their customer needs.
Performance management is a whole system. Monitoring operational metrics typically reveals performance problems, such as a decrease in sales or increase in support calls. Needs assessments result in formal training courses, coaching or self-paced study alternatives to address the issues. Evaluating training effectiveness typically features participant evaluation and instructor evaluations. Most formal training courses include practice exercises and assignments. A final exam (assessment) determines the student's overall competency level. Students evaluate the instructor presentations as well to determine the overall course effectiveness and relevancy to on-the-job performance.
Performance measures provide details on how well a process or procedure works, if goals are met, if customers are satisfied and if products or services produced conform to established quality standards. They consist of a number and unit of measure linked to a goal or objective. For example, a common training performance measure might be monitoring the percentage of employees completing mandatory process training. This reflects a training organization's success at achieving the goal of training the entire workforce on processes. If reports indicate results are below-desired parameters, leaders can take action to remedy the situation.
Types of training performance measures include effectiveness (indicating the degree to which the activity conforms to requirements), efficiency (indicating the degree to which the activity produces output at the minimum cost), quality (indicating the degree to which expectations are met) and timeliness (indicating whether the activity occurred when it should have based on prior agreements). Training performance may also be measured on the participant's ability to adhere to productivity and safety standards. Measurement allows people control, self-assessment, improvement and management.
Top-level business reports typically include financial data and operational ratios. The next lower level reports usually reflect comparisons to competitors (such as the time to launch new offerings). The level below that represents departmental performance. At the lowest level, individual performance statistics gauge personal success. Ideally, training performance measurement and management have components that align at each level. As a whole, performance management details identify if requirements are met, processes work and decisions are made on facts (rather than emotion). In addition, reports highlight where improvements are needed, show if improvements occur (after training is completed) and reveal if the right things are measured. Using reports, managers can identify problems in supplementary processes, such as suppliers.
Training performance measurement and management should be based on participant needs and apply broadly to all activities. Complex or multidimensional measures may be too difficult or costly to assemble on a regular basis. Criteria for interpretation should be discussed among sponsors and stakeholders to ensure analysis results in effective decision making. A typical process identifies what training activity you want to measure, establishes the goal or standard, identifies a responsible person, collects data, analyzes the data, determines if corrective action is necessary and establishes new goals if necessary based on new conditions.

Let's see, in 2010, Egypt's president Mohamed Morsi said that Jews were "descendants of apes and pigs" while also expressing the opinion that Muslims should "nurse our children and grandchildren on hatred towards those Zionists and Jews".
Apparently, Mursi's I-was-taken-out-of-context defense doesn't seem to be getting much traction so he's decided to go about this whole thing a different way – by qualifying it… while in BERLIN!!!
Via Jerusalem Post:
"As I have said before the quotes were taken out of context… I am not against the Jewish faith, I am not against Jews who practice their religion," Morsi told a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin.
Oh, so does that mean if he's not against practicing Jews, he's therefore against non-Practicing ones? Well, at least Hitler never made such a distinction, right? Why, Berliners should be breathing a sigh of relief, right?
Here's another precious quote from the lovable Morsi:
"I was talking about the practices and behavior of believers of any religion who shed blood or who attack innocent people or civilians. That's behaviour that I condemn."
That sounds like he's talking about Hamas, does it not?
It appears we've come full circle. Those whom Morsi believes are "apes and pigs" aren't human. Therefore, they're neither "innocent people" nor "civilians".
As Morsi was clearing up his comments in Berlin, Hillary Clinton was telling Greta Van Susteren of Morsi:
"I think he has a lot of the right intentions."
Wouldn't that be like saying Hitler had a lot of the right intentions?
Oh, wait. Hitler didn't discriminate between practicing and non-practicing Jews. Is that the difference?
