Standard Dances
It seems to be standardizing in our dance circles that four dances are requirements. Cha Cha Cha, Fox Trot, Rumba and Waltz. The rest seem to be peripherals. Samba, Tango, Hustle, NC2S, Salsa, Mambo. One of those is going to go into the main menu one of these days. I prefer Samba if we had the Brazilian Samba. That chasse is sumteeng else. Will there be other opinions? Of course!
Makaha Industrial Park
We can dream can't we? To live, work and play in our own kuleana without having to kiss Honolulu Okole. But they have us where they want us and millions and millions of dollars are going to be made by the chosen few (mostly mainlanders) on the Rail Fiasco.

| Beautiful Makaha Industrial Park |
Hundreds of cars missing from the streets and freeways to and from Honolulu. Hundreds of cars missing from the congested
Honolulu Traffic. "And I coulda been home in 20 minutes."

| Makaha Beach |
Whatta Paradise this could be, but the Present Rail Party has other plans and they are all humbug. And they will lie, and pay special companies on the mainland to lie. Its the dollars, scholars.

Electric Cars
It has been coming gradually. The people are realizing they are not going to ride the rail disaster. The Present Rail Party will do everything possible to get the people on the Rail Mess. So there will be no way to get to town on a bus. Now comes the conclusion. People are looking more into the vehicle option. Even if slow going on the freeway and having to go through traffic on Farrington, it is much better that the Rail Calamity.

Hawaii Press
Independent alternative Press:
They get down to the nitty gritty and expose all these crooks to the bonafide residents of these Islands. The Present Rail Party is afraid of only one thing, the alternative press. They got the Star Adveriser in their pocket and working on MidWeek. But they seem to have lost Mufi and Bob Jones. They haven't said much since they got no more pay. But they got Boylan and Caldwell.

by acknowledging the good that already exists in our lives. We can then
offer the universe the gift of our grateful hearts."

Not Too Bad
The blogs are clicking better than ever but I don't pay attention to the Blogger Stats anymore. They have become immaterial. They do not know this yet. They know the problem, yet will state flatly that the robots do not exist. How about that? Talk about Ivory Towers? This is the best example I have seen in a very long time. It will take them another couple months maybe. We have so many other things to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving.
Makaha Valley Towers
From the Internet:
Welcome to Makaha Valley Towers, a 586 unit home owners association nestled against the majestic Waianae Mountains on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii. With incredible views ranging from the mountains to the tropical sea, Makaha Valley Towers is a tranquil oasis far from the hustle and bustle of city life.
24-hour security guards greet residents as they enter the property. Occupants of studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments enjoy a small town feel, reminiscent of old Hawaii. Fourteen acres of lush landscaped property create a unique atmosphere, complementing the natural beauty of the valley. Relax at the 60-thousand gallon heated swimming pool, or enjoy grilling on the six propane grills in the barbecue area. Nearby surfing, swimming, fishing, golf courses, horseback riding, and tennis courts provide recreation and relaxation.
If you're looking for a unique living experience in Hawaii, experience the hidden magic of Makaha Valley Towers. With a small Industrial Park in the area, we can also look forward to a "downtown" Makaha soon. With the Rail Disaster looming, we will be going to Honolulu a lot less often unless we can get that good boat service going, one stop only, Ko'Olina.

From Midweek
West // West Oahu News
Thanks to a partnership with Honolulu Ford and Solar Help Hawaii, Volta Industries LLC now provides free electric vehicle charging stations at three new locations, including Pearlridge Center.
“This is such an exciting time for us,” stated Arden Penton, Volta’s director of media and operations. “To be able to partner with one of Hawaii’s premier local solar companies and the island’s leading Ford dealership to provide free electricity shows huge strides in the long-term, clean and renewable energy efforts being made in our communities.”
The other free charging stations are available at Ward Centers and Koko Marina Center.
The company, which was founded in 2010, installed the first charging station in the state at the capitol in 2011. It also has installed EV charging stations in California and currently is working to expand its presence in California and Arizona.
“Our focus has always been promoting energy efficiency and providing cost savings to our customers,” stated Dale Domen, president of Solar Help Hawaii. “We are so thrilled to give EV drivers the opportunity to power up for free and encourage more people to adopt this sustainable technology.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Volta,” added Danny Asao, general sales manager of Honolulu Ford. “We’ve been serving Hawaii for more than 50 years, giving customers the most innovative auto solutions to meet their transportation needs.
Pub's Side Note: The plans of the Present Rail Party are to force the people to use the Rail Calamity. It is a humbug and everyone is looking for a way out. Yes, we also know. It's the money, Honey.

its reputation for good public transportation. But the Present Rail Party had their eye on the millions of dollars in profits
from a Rail Disaster like the one coming up.

Another good one. On or about December 1st, I will post the beautiful poster for the Holly Jolly Trolley Ride to be on December 21st. Dis da kine info we need fo our reader/dancers. Disa blog, brah! Let's get wid it!
From Dream To Dance Studio
Holiday Greetings Swing Dancers,
There are a few announcements about Dream To Dance which I would like to share with you.
1. Rumor of my retiring, NOT true.
2. New location, TRUE! Due to renovation/construction in Kakaako I have been searching properties and found a wonderful spot on 2nd floor of a new building with an elevator, air con, windows and lots of parking. It is the Palama Supermarket @ 1010 North King St. #202-204. Sad for me to leave after 15 years at this location but exciting to think of the NEW!
3. The Holly Jolly Trolley is back for fun and travel by trolley to dance venues. It would be great if you can spread the word and join the night of merriment on Saturday, December 21. Please RSVP! See you there!
4. There are requests for swing socials at the studio and I wish I could but don't feel I have the music inventory to keep dancers entertained 1/week or 1/month. Referrals are sent to your Palladium dances. New events coming to Honolulu for the swing community and Dream To Dance coming next year!
Thanks for listening and a supa big Happy Holidays wish to all!

Forcing
Seem like the Present Rail Party is becoming aware of the rising tide against the Rail Disaster. The are well aware that very few want to use the Rail Mess, so they are stepping up the propaganda with city funds of course. New Bike paths have been cancelled. You take the Rail Calamity but no bike riding. It is coming with the help of the Ethics Commission.

Our readers know?
Just come about, the readers/dancers of these blogs are not fully cognizant of what all this blogging is all about. They will learn because ignorance is not necessarily stupidity. And we are fortunate that most of our reader/dancer are pretty sharp people. They can pick up on the action easily. They will pick their favorites even though it is still mostly SOS. Patience!

Contact
Slowly but we are getting there. We want to help in the Public Relations of all the dance organizations that are willing to accept our help. "Yes," is terrific. "No" is acceptable for they have the perfect right to say no, and they may change their minds later. However, to be ignored is communication too and very loud and clear. May I also ignore you too?

Default Vampirestat- How to block them & keep them from hitting blog daily
Hello all. I assume that many of you have heard of "vampirestat." This site is apparently one of a few infamous sites that hits blogs, spiking the traffic data on the blog's back end, which in turn gives traffic to vampirestat et al., provided that the blogger is naive enough to click on the link going back to vampire et al.
I have read that we can't really do anything about these sites hitting our blogs the way they do, but I'm the type of guy who will go the extra mile to get the activity to stop. Please let me know if you know of a means of contacting or blocking vampire et al.
Blogger experts will flatly state that they don't exist. Really.

Line dance
By William Chan, Ko'Olina:
So we are getting line dancing along the Moanlua Corridor and there are sparks going up to Kapolei. The progress is there, we just have to work on getting bigger crowds and more men. Then there is the Waianae Coast just waiting for some of this action.
Line dancing's current popularity grew out of the disco period, when the country-western dance and music communities continued to explore and develop this form of dancing. Line dancing has become a popular recreation activity and is practiced and learned in country-western dance bars, social clubs, dance clubs and ballrooms worldwide.
Billy Ray Cyrus' 1992 hit Achy Breaky Heart, helped catapult western line dancing back into the musical mainstream's public consciousness, and in 1998, the band "Steps" created further interest with the techno dance song "5,6,7,8".
It avoids the problem of imbalance of male/female partners that plagues social recreational dance clubs. Not only that but they learned later that for beginning dancers it develops good timing, rhythm, and acute awareness of the different music and consequently the dances corresponding to this music.
It is sometimes combined on dance programs with other forms of country-western dance, such as two-step, shuffle, and western promenade dances, as well as western-style variants of the waltz, polka and swing.
For us in the ballroom dance world, it is rapidly become an interesting and fun dance to break up the strict social dance pattern of the evening. And of course allows so many of the women a chance to dance when they have not had such an opportunity. The increase in interest by men is very gratifying, more men in the groups make everyone look better.

You can line dance in pretty small spaces if
you don't have too many dancers.

Waipahu
The early Native Hawaiians took pleasure in the cool and clear water gushing from the ground and named this spring Waipahu. Before the Western civilization set foot in Hawaii, the Hawaiians considered Waipahu to be the capital of Oahu. Royalty in the Kingdom of Hawaii would often gather and enjoy the fresh water from the spring Waipahu.
In 1897, Oahu Sugar Company was incorporated and imported laborers from many different countries including the Philippines, Japan, China, Portugal, and Norway. Very few laborers working for the Oahu Sugar Co. were actually Hawaiian.
The majority of the company's first laborers were either Japanese or Chinese. Each ethnic group was broken up into different camps. This division was said to have been the result of different cultures and language barriers.
Field workers received an average monthly salary of $12.50. However, Filipino immigrants were paid less than all of the other laborers because of the fact that they were the cheapest to import. The Filipinos, on average, made less than $10.00 a month. The Chinese generally were paid the most with a monthly average of $15.00.
Dancing has of course been part of life in the plantations and to each his own. In the last century there came a coming together of the American Style of Dancing and danced socially throughout the islands. They are in the same metamorphosis as the rest of the island.

Dance Blither also know as DB, and now also as Ding Bats. Fine with me as long as someone reads and we get a Two-Center and perhaps a guest author. Then we could really run up legit hits for this micro blog. The entire enchilada just waiting for that Two-Center that will have their own independent point of view. Wow, I can see the hits going through the roof, simply because it is not SOS.

Two-Centers
I am getting some inquiries for our dance blogs but no results. Most think they create a commitment and they are wary of that. I must be patient. I provide the platform and they use it as they wish and when they wish. Should be pretty clear. You share dance information and perhaps a photo or two with your fellow reader/dancers. The difference in opinion is what counts. That is all.

Lining Up
Even with all the scam spam robot hits and generally screwing up the works I can make some sense as far as I am concerned. The blogs are turning out into the expected levels between the different blogs. I can see some going up and with some reason. I can also see some going down and also with some reason. So I am going to get them all on the same rate of blogging and see what develops from there. Do I know what I am doing? Not really.

Shaping Up
With ten blogs the entire enchilada has now been formed. And even with the Mickey Mouse hits from Blogger, the order is being established. Town Dancer remains firmly at the top. Most of the others are in the 30s and 40s average hits per day. So the newer ones are at the bottom with less than 20 average hits per day.
I can see where I am at, blogging by myself. The big difference is when we get that Two-Center and he/she can pick the blog they want. That is when the blog will begin to develop its own personality and differ from the rest. When the reader/dancers understand they can get in too and the entire enchilada will become social media and I can begin to make the top blogs independent.
