What's Happening?

I waited and waited and I was finally asked. Where do I get the winning numbers that are posted in the blogs? The winning number comes from the Dow Jones Industrial average ending on the Friday before the last day of the month. I want to make sure that no one can rig the number.

"At my age, tomorrow is the most important thing in life. It comes to me at

midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself into

my hands. And hopes I've learned something from yesterday."

The Lottery Number: I cannot guarantee the winning number  but some one has been carrying this number around all their lives. If these numbers coincide with the last two numbers of your social security number, that's it. In the month of April, if the last two numbers in your social security number are 25, you won it. In this case a used laptop top computer worth about 600 dollars. If it is not up to your standards, then give it to some one who will appreciate it. I am gradually extending the eligibility to all of our blogs in Oahu.

Freestyle Dancing
At many nightclubs, Freestyle is the only form of dancing used and in which there are many young people with little or no dance experience trying to dance. Many take a stab at getting the hands, feet, arms, and hips to pretend that they all play for the same team.

Freestyle is not hard to learn, but overcoming a paralyzing sense of self-consciousness is frequently a major hurdle. Fortunately once you learn some of the basics steps you will develop enough confidence to go out and practice - at which time you will improve naturally. There are actually several different Freestyle types. Fortunately they all have the same basic moves. And they can be and are danced socially in numerous dance clubs, schools, and studios.

"Dancers are the messengers of the gods."

In social ballroom dancing, as well as in some dance competitions in the United States the Nightclub dance category is recognized, which includes dances such as Lindy Hop, West Coast Swing, and Hustle. Nightclub dances are less formalized than the others. A number of them are proudly called Street dances. Nightclub dances are danced differently in different places, and club/street styles differ from the styles taught in ballroom studios.

Another category recently formalized in Europe is the "Latin Swing" class, which consists of five dances: Tango Argentino, Mambo, Lindy Hop, Swing Boogie (sometimes also known as Nostalgic Boogie), and Disco Fox.

There's also a Rock 'n' Roll dance variant accepted as a social dance. Akin to "Ballroom dances" and "Nightclub dances" are Country/western dances, danced both competitively and socially at C/W bars, clubs, and ballrooms.

A related category is Regional Ballroom Dances. One example would be the subcategory of Cajun dances which originated in New Orleans, with branches reaching both coasts of the United States.

All of these contain similar moves that are slowly gravitating and becoming standardized in some sort of a "Universal" style which will be a separate and very recognizable style in the future. However, there will definitely be a difference in the dances according to age.

The young have made the distinction for years, "never trust anyone over 30." They have a unanimous opinion and the young are the under 30. Then we have the middles, from 30 to 65, and they are the most solid block of developers of the "social" dance. Then of course we have the over 65 and the real seniors who will do the best they can with what is left over.
