Hello Gainesville Area Israeli Dancers and Friends,

This Sunday night at 601 we are having a Swing and Social dance party
Everyone is invited. You do not have to know swing...

Check to see if there is international folk dancing this week.
Pretty sure there is no Israeli dancing this Thursday.

The Harvest Moon Swing Dance this Friday in Ybor City in Tampa, November 27.
www.swingang.com/SpecialEvents/HarvestMoonBall.htm

Millions of people have seen this phenomenal video of the beautiful
Ukranian artist Kseniya Simonova tell the dramatic story ...

Someone sent me an amazing set of photos. Attached are thumbnails of

Dance for Seasoned Citizens

From: Russella Brandman <drdance@ufl.edu>
Date: Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 5:30 PM

In case someone in your group might be interested, I've attached some information about a new dance program targeted for the needs
of participants over the traditional age. It is a service of Shands Arts in Medicine that is free to the community and is being
held at the beautiful new Cancer Hospital on the south side of Archer Road. Please pass this information along to anyone you may
know who might be interested. I hope to build an enjoyable group experience for all. If you have questions: drdance@ufl.edu.

Cheers,
Rusti Brandman

Shands announces a new program for the community:

Dance for Seasoned Citizens

Weekly dance workshops for having fun and taking care of yourself without guilt! Dance is good for your body, mind and spirit. The
workshops will be focused on the needs of participants age 60 and above, but we will not be checking ID's!

Time: 2:00 to 3:00 pm on Tuesdays starting November 17, 2009
Place: Shands Cancer Hospital, Criser Cancer Resource Center right off the main
Lobby
Free!
Registration: Not necessary. Just show up any Tuesday.

Details: The program will be organized around weekly or monthly themes that may be a specific decade (like the 40s, 60s, etc.), a
musical or dance style (e.g., swing, salsa, jazz, etc.) an environment or mood (tropical, winter wonderland, etc.). Participants
will have input into the choice of themes. The workshops will use dance techniques from jazz, modern, social dance, various national
styles, and even ballet where appropriate as well as encourage the participants to contribute their own ideas on how to address the
themes in movement. The intended effect is to have fun with others, but the side effects include retaining independence and the
ability to maintain activities of daily life physically, mentally and emotionally, socializing, and developing and maintaining a
sense of accomplishment.

Facilitator: Rusti Brandman is emeritus dance faculty at the University of Florida and a Shands Arts in Medicine dancer in
residence. She has been a professional performer, choreographer, and teacher and a project director for the National Institute on
Aging's Vital Visionaries program. She is a member and presenter for the National Center for Creative Aging, specializing in dance
programs for maintaining and enhancing health in later years.

Florida Lay Down Play - UF Gatorns at Miami Hurricanes

This is the team that had the famous lay down play to get John Reaves the NCAA career passing record.

Florida sales tax

From
http://dor.myflorida.com/dor/taxes/sales_tax.html

Florida Sales and Use Tax
Do I need to collect sales tax?

What is Taxable?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sales Tax
Florida law provides that each sale, admission charge, storage, or rental is taxable unless the transaction is specifically exempt.
Florida's general sales tax rate is 6%, however there is an established "bracket system" for collecting sales tax on any part of
each total taxable sale that is less than a whole dollar amount. Additionally, a discretionary sales surtax is imposed by many
Florida counties. To compute the Florida sales tax rate for each county, you add the county imposed discretionary sales surtax rate
to the general sales and use tax rate.

Discretionary Sales Surtax
Under specific conditions, Florida counties are authorized to levy a discretionary sales surtax on most transactions that are
subject to sales and use tax. A dealer who sells and delivers taxable merchandise or taxable services is required to collect the
surtax at the rate imposed in the county where the merchandise or service is delivered. For motor vehicle and mobile home sales, use
the surtax rate of the county where the vehicle or mobile home will be registered.

Only the first $5,000 of a single sale of tangible personal property is subject to discretionary sales surtax if the property is
sold as a single item, in bulk, as a working unit, or as part of a working unit. The $5,000 limit does not apply to commercial
rentals, transient rentals, or services.

Use Tax and Consumption
Use tax complements and is applied in the same manner as sales tax. The use tax rate and sales tax rate are the same, including
discretionary sales surtax, if applicable. Use tax is due on purchases made out of state and brought into Florida within 6 months of
the purchase date. Also, if you purchase a product tax-exempt that you plan to sell at retail, but end up using it at your place of
business, the "use" of the product is subject to tax. If you purchase materials that are "consumed" in a manufacturing process to
create your end product but are not part of the end product, those materials are subject to tax.

The "use" component of the sales and use tax provides uniform taxation on items that are purchased outside Florida but are used or
stored in the state. If the item brought into Florida is subject to tax, a credit for lawfully imposed taxes paid to another state,
a U.S. territory, or the District of Columbia is permitted. Credit is not given for taxes paid to another country.

Who Must Register to Collect Tax?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before you open a business in Florida, you must first find out whether your business activity, product use, or consumption will be
subject to Florida sales tax. Some government agencies require you to register with the Department of Revenue before they will issue
a license.

Here are some examples of business activities, product uses, and consumptions requiring the collection of sales tax or the payment
of use tax:

Sales of taxable items at retail.
Repairs or alterations of tangible personal property.
Rentals, leases, or licenses to use real property (for example, commercial office space, mini-warehouses, or short-term living
accommodations).
Rental or lease of personal property (for example, vehicles, machinery, equipment, or other goods).
Charges for admission to any place of amusement, sport, or recreation.
Operating private membership clubs that provide recreational or physical fitness facilities.
Manufacturing or producing goods for sale at retail.
Importing goods from any state or foreign country, for sale at retail or for use in the business.
Selling service warranty contracts.
Ordering and using, on a regular basis, mail-order products on which no sales tax was charged.
Operating vending or amusement machines.
Providing taxable services (for example, investigative and crime protection services, interior nonresidential cleaning services, and
nonresidential pest control services).
If you are unsure whether your business is required to register to collect sales tax, contact Taxpayer Services (see "Whom to
Call").

Who Is Exempt?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Federal, state, county, and city governments; and qualified nonprofit organizations, such as religious, charitable, scientific,
educational, or veteran organizations (as defined in section 212.08, Florida Statutes) do not have to pay sales tax on certain
purchases. If you believe your organization may qualify for an exemption, you must complete and submit an Application for Consumer's
Certificate of Exemption (Form DR-5). See below for information on obtaining forms.

The federal government is exempt from the requirement to collect sales tax. In addition, qualified religious institutions are not
required to collect and remit sales tax on the sale or lease of tangible personal property.

How Do I Register to Collect Sales Tax?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can register to collect and/or report tax via the Department's Internet site. Go to www.myflorida.com/dor and click on
e-Services. If you do not have Internet access, you can complete a paper Application to Collect and/or Report Tax in Florida (Form
DR-1). Obtain Form DR-1 from your local DOR service center or one of the contacts listed below.

After your registration application is approved, you will receive a Certificate of Registration (Form DR-11), an Annual Resale
Certificate (Form DR-13), and your tax return forms. The Annual Resale Certificate may be used for tax-exempt purchases or rentals
of property or services that you intend to resell or re-rent as part of your business. If the goods purchased for resale are later
used (not resold), you must report and pay use tax on those items, plus any applicable penalties and interest. There are additional
liabilities for intentional misuse of an annual resale certificate.

How Is Tax Calculated?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sales tax is calculated at the time of each transaction. When sales transactions fall between whole dollar amounts, use the bracket
system to calculate tax due when any part of each total sale is less than a whole dollar amount. The total tax collected must be
calculated on the total amount of the sale. The sales tax and discretionary sales surtax must be separately shown on each invoice or
other evidence of the sales transaction. Taxpayers must remit the actual tax collected which in many cases is more than a straight
percentage of the sales or untaxed purchases. You can obtain a Sales Tax Rate Table (Form DR-2X) and individual bracket cards from
your local DOR service center or one of the contacts listed below.

Electronic Filing and Payment

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Department offers the convenience of using our free and secure Internet site to file and pay sales tax, or you may purchase
software from an approved vendor. If you would like to voluntarily file and pay taxes electronically, you may do so. However, if you
pay $20,000 or more in sales and use tax between July 1 and June 30 (the state fiscal year), you will receive instructions to begin
using electronic funds transfer (EFT) for the next calendar year.

Reference Material

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tax Laws
Contact Taxpayer Services to request copies of the rules regarding sales and use tax. Tax laws are also available on the
Department's Internet site. Look for the Florida Tax Law Library.

Brochures
The following brochures are available from your local DOR service center, the DOR Distribution Center, or Taxpayer Services:

Leading Successful Organizational Change an Action Team Approach From University of Florida

                                           

                        The future of Florida leadership matters to us!

 

LEADING SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE:

AN ACTION TEAM APPROACH

 

A two-day program to help your leadership teams

 implement and manage change more effectively

 

       

 

 

About This Program:

 

With the ups and downs of a turbulent economy over the last few years, change is the “new normal”. Change in strategies for a down economy…change in strategies for a rebounding economy…change in roles and responsibilities. People don’t like change and often resist it. This can have a negative effect on your organization’s ability to adapt to needed change.

 

How is your organization dealing with and adapting to all the change? Are your leaders equipped to be not only change agents but change masters? Let us help develop your leaders into change masters! 

 

As part of our Leadership Development Core Curriculum, this program was developed to help your leadership teams understand, implement and manage change more effectively. Change can be implemented and managed successfully if your leadership team can develop change mastery skills. This new program is designed to give them those skills.

 

It is currently only available to be delivered on-site to your leadership teams…and can be customized for your team and organization as well.     

 

 

 

What Your Leaders Will Learn:

 

·         Strengthen your teams’ internal support skills

·         Strengthen your teams’ individual and collective skills for leading change and transition:

-          Individual and team orientation to change

-          Organizational change mastery skills

·         Recognize and clearly define change issues

·         Plan for the successful short/long-term implementation of change

·         Put in place a peer coaching methodology for on-going skill development and support

 

                                                                                       

 

Who Will Benefit:

 

·         Executive leaders who are responsible for planning change initiatives

·         Mid-level and front-line leaders who are responsible for implementing change initiatives

 

 

                                                                                       

 

How Your Organization Will Benefit:

 

·         Resistance to change is reduced

·         Adapting to change is improved

·         Trust and collaboration are increased

·         Communication is improved within the leadership teams and throughout the organization

·         Launching change initiatives will be more successful

 

 

                                                                                       

 

For More Information:

 

To learn more about the details of this program and the benefits of how this program can be conducted on-site and customized for your leadership teams, please contact Paul McNulty at (352) 392-8660 ext. 278 or pmcnult@dce.ufl.edu

Article: A Beautiful Dance Space

A fire started at our 601 dance space and I have been
spending half my days trying to contain it. Not a physical
fire, but one as tangible, one with the owner and us renters.
In the end, it is just about money. All is well. Wherever we
are things will work out.

Someone wrote to me "it would be a shame to lose such a
beautiful and rare facility".

I wrote her back, "It is the people that make it such a
beautiful and rare place to dance".

Indoor Air Toxics Florida Division of Environmental Health

Indoor Air Toxics

The Department of Health Indoor Air Toxics Program was started in 1994. Its goal is to improve the health of Floridians by reducing exposure to indoor air contaminants. The primary function of this program is to provide advice and expertise to Floridians with indoor air problems in residences, schools, health care and public facilities. Our highest priority is given to helping solving health problems when a physician suspects that indoor air quality maybe a contributing factor. The program currently consists of a statewide indoor air quality coordinator and an assistant in Tallahassee, and 58 environmental specialists working through 38 County Public Health Units to provide Indoor Air Quality expertise to the public. Currently 29 counties are without an indoor air quality resource other than that available from the statewide coordinator in Tallahassee.

As of July 1st, 2003, the Florida Clean Indoor Air Act (FCIAA) is no longer part of the Radon and Indoor Air program, but part of the Bureau of Tobacco Health and Awareness. The Florida Clean Indoor Air program is responsible for the implementation and enforcement of workplace smoking regulations.  Call the FCIAA hotline at (800) 337-3742, or (850) 245-4281.

Only consultants and contractors that measure or mitigate radon (Florida Department of Health), asbestos (Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation) and lead-based paint hazards (US Environmental Protection Agency) are currently required to be licensed, registered or certified. Home inspectors, mold assessors and mold remediators are NOT currently regulated, licensed or certified by the State of Florida nor the Federal government. Recent legislation was signed into law that will require licensure of home inspectors, mold assessors and mold remediators by the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation by July 1, 2010 (Florida Laws Chapter No. 2007-235).

091113 West Coast Swing new schedule, Balboa, Dance Party

Hello Gainesville Area Dancers and Friends,

This week there is a change to the West Coast Swing schedule.
We will start at 6:00 and go to about 7:45, with a discount
in the price to $5 (from $8).

The reason for the change is there will be a Balboa class
and dance starting at 8:00. Christian plans to have a Balboa
night once a semester. Come to West Coast Swing and then join
the Balboa group. Balboa is a companion dance to swing, danced
in close embrace.

Next week we are going to start a little later at 7:00 pm,
because the room has been reserved for an all day event.

Am thinking of having a dance party on November 29, the
fifth Sunday in November. What do you think?

Richard is having a Swing and Social Dance this Saturday.

UF Tango in still open to the public, but the room they dance
in on Friday nights is not, so I will no longer be listing that
session here. They danced at Hillel on Thursday last week and
that is open to the public. Believe they will try to dance there
again this week, from 6 to 8 pm, 2020 W University Ave, 2 floor,
free.

If you are looking to dance on Fridays, join the UF Swing Club.
That is open to the public. The Eagles Club on 441 South, where
13 Street sort of ends, has dancing most nights.

Phoebe Cade Miles with the Cade Museum Foundation speaks at
next week's Gainesville Area Innovative Network meeting.
Her father Dr. Cade was the inventor of Gatorade and numerous
other inventions. These are interesting networking opportunities
open to everyone.

Happy Dancing,
Andy

Balboa is a swing dance with a very distinctive feel.
The feel is the chief reason people fall in love with it.
It is danced primarily in close embrace and its body lead
allows for great and subtle expressivity.

Cade Museum Foundation

Phoebe Miles, a native of Gainesville and the daughter of
the late inventor of Gatorade, is the president and founder
of the Cade Museum Foundation, which will be located near the
historic downtown of Gainesville, Florida, and is scheduled
to open in 2012. Focused on "inventing possibilities," it
will showcase the creative process of invention and partner
with a wide array of local institutions to sponsor interactive
educational programs at all levels.

Phoebe Cade Miles will discuss how the planned Cade Museum of
Innovation and Invention will highlight and encourage Gainesville's
national reputation as a center of invention and creativity and how
this will be a key to our future economic growth and stability.
She'll discuss Gainesville's history and reputation as an exporter
of ideas and inventions, and how the invention of Gatorade (including
her father's contentious relationship with the University in the 70's)
helped to transform our community. Mrs Miles also will explain how the
Cade Museum will help to fill the "creative inventiveness" gap in our
educational system. Finally, she will speak about how the transformation
of Depot Park will become a leading example of a successful environmental
cleanup.

Mrs. Miles, currently residing in Washington, DC with her family, is
also the vice-president and founder of the Gloria Dei Foundation, a
family-operated charity organized in 2004 to help those in need by
providing grants to successful and innovative non-profit organizations.

Article: Teachers Get Discouraged Too

Only last week I wrote an article "Have Faith and a Miracle
Will Happen" because it is so easy to get discouraged as a
dance student.

This week, our little Tango class had to comfort our teacher,
because it can be even more discouraging for dance teachers.

She was discouraged, because when she went out dancing,
people wanted to do fancy steps and it did not feel good.
She said she does not want to dance for show, only to feel good.

She wanted to quit because she felt everyone wants to learn
showy moves. She wants to teach good technique.

We encouraged her and reassured her we want to improve our skill.
When she asks us what we want to learn, I always say I just want
to get better at the simple things. I hope she does not quit.
That would be a loss. I like our little group.

091112 Israeli Dancing, West Coast Swing early, Dance Party, Balboa

Hello Gainesville Area Israeli Dancers and Friends,

Israeli Dancing continues on Thursdays. Everyone invited.

This week there is a change to the West Coast Swing schedule.
We will start at 6:00 and go to about 7:45, with a discount
in the price to $5 (from $8).

The reason for the change is there will be a Balboa class
and dance starting at 8:00. Christian plans to have a Balboa
night once a semester. Come to West Coast Swing and then join
the Balboa group. Balboa is a companion dance to swing, danced
in close embrace to fast music.

No international folk dancing this week.

Phoebe Cade Miles with the Cade Museum Foundation speaks at
next week's Gainesville Area Innovative Network meeting.
Her father Dr. Cade was the inventor of Gatorade and numerous
other inventions. These are interesting networking opportunities
open to everyone.

Happy Dancing,
Andy

Article: Partner Rotation

People not having partners at Israeli Dancing sessions and
workshops is a problem. It makes Israeli Dancing less sociable
and unfairly excludes people.

The last two weekends I attended Tango and West Coast Swing
workshops and had completely opposite experiences because of
the partner rotation. Partner rotation issues are not unique
to Israeli Dancing. I shared my experiences on the Israeli
Partner Dance group. You can read about it here.

Aritcle: It Is a Mitzvah to Visit the Sick and the House of Mourning

A mitzvah is a commandment from Hashem.
It is more than a good deed, it is a responsibility.

Today I went to a shiva minyan (a service for those in mourning).
Tuesday I was in the hospital for six hours visiting a relative.

When I was young, I had not visited people in the hospital
or in mourning, and when I first went, I was uncomfortable.
Not knowing what to say or do, I wanted to avoid going,
but I went when I was supposed to.

One day, it was my house of mourning and it was my loved one
in the hospital and people came. Once you are on the other side,
you know what to say and do.

You do not have to say anything and all you have to do is be there.

Florida, Say No to Drilling Off Our Coasts!

From: Defenders of Wildlife, Florida Office [mailto:defenders@mail.defenders.org]
Sent: Thursday, November 05, 2009 3:25 PM
To: andrew@bronz.com
Subject: Florida, Say No to Drilling Off Our Coasts!

		Help Stop this Disaster in the Making! Drilling off the Florida coast will put our sea turtles, whales, fisheries, shorebirds and local economies at serious risk. Take action now to tell your state leaders that we can’t afford to let Big Oil threaten our coasts and our wildlife.  Spread the word: forward this to other Floridians who care about wildlife. Dear Andrew, Governor Crist and the state legislature are under mounting pressure to cave to Big Oil and allow drilling off the Florida coast. It’s a disaster in the making -- and we need your help today to stop it. Big Oil’s slick lobbyists talk a lot, but they aren’t mentioning what drilling off the Florida coast could cost us. It could cost us our imperiled sea turtles, our beaches, our fisheries, our tourist economy -- and our way of life. We need your help to fight back. Take action today to let your state legislators know that you don’t want drills anywhere near our coasts! What offshore drilling could bring us is an environmental disaster like the one we’re seeing off the coast of Australia. This oil spill has proven nearly impossible to contain, pumping up to 30,000 barrels of oil into the Timor Sea in the last 10 weeks. Eyewitnesses have reported seeing sea turtles, dolphins and sea birds trying to swim through the oil slick. We can’t let this happen in Florida. But this is exactly the kind of diaster that could happen in our state if we don’t put pressure on our legislators to stand strong against drilling off our coasts. Please take action now and say NO to oil drilling off our coasts! Offshore drilling is an incredibly risky gamble already. But when you add hurricane season to the mix, you've got a real disaster in the making.  It also won't ease our pain at the pump. The Department of Energy says it won’t make gas cheaper for at least ten years -- and even then the difference will be negligible. What’s more, drilling for oil in sensitive coastal areas flies in the face of working for a smart, sustainable energy future for Florida and for the entire nation. The real facts about the chronic and catastrophic impacts associated with oil drilling have been drowned out by the oil and gas industry’s doublespeak and false promises. We need your help to set the story straight and stop this disaster in the making. Florida’s wildlife doesn’t have a voice. Use your voice to speak out for sea turtles, dolphins, manatee, seabirds and other wildlife that depend on clean, healthy coastal waters to survive. Send a message to Governor Crist, your state senator and your state representative right now. Thanks for all you do, Laurie Macdonald Florida Program Director Defenders of Wildlife P.S. Save the date for the Hands Across the Sands day of protest against oil drilling on Saturday, February 13th. We'll be in touch soon with more information soon!

Balboa is a swing dance with a very distinctive feel.
The feel is the chief reason people fall in love with it.
It is danced primarily in close embrace and its body lead
allows for great and subtle expressivity.

Article: Marrie Robinson Memorial Service

Marrie visited me the other day. I was so relieved to see her,
gave her a big hug and scolded her for scaring us. I noticed the
neighborhood looked a little unfamiliar and realized I was dreaming.

From Marilyn Escue tangogainesville@gmail.com

Open invitation....

Please DO forward this message and tell anyone who comes to mind....especially those of you with a list of Marrie's friends or who
know of friends who might be relying on you to invite them.

This is an invitation to celebrate the life of our friend and loved one, Marrie Robinson, and to commemorate her passing. First,
about the church service, from the Gainesville Sun, then an invitation for more time together in Marrie's honor:

Gainesville Sun:

Marrie Robinson, age 51, passed away on October 14, 2009. She is survived by two daughters, Kachiri and Mishani Robinson. She was a
great asset to the Dance community, Spiritual community and a devoted friend and mother. We lost a loved one, but God gained an
amazing angel.

A service will be held for her at 4:00 pm on Saturday, November 7, at Unity Church, located at 8801 NW 39th Avenue (For further
information, contact Kachiri at 352-514-7167).

Following the service at Unity, Kachiri and the family and I invite you to come together with the several communities that know and
love Marrie in a celebrative potluck dinner with music and dancing, at the home (5 minutes away) of Marilyn Escue. Please make it
easy on yourself in either bringing a dish or drink (alcohol is ok), or just come on if you didn't know about bringing something.
Kachiri requests that we join in celebration of Marrie's life.

So after the service, or whatever else you might need to do beforehand, come on over around 5:30ish, to 10514 NW 25th Pl., home of
Marilyn Escue, 352-332-6556.

Here are directions from Unity, on 39th.
- Go left or West across I-75 and downhill to 98th Street.
- Turn left, tracking in front of Meadowbrook Golf Course to the end of the fence.
- Look on the right for 25th Place and sign Hills of Santa Fe.
- Go wayyyy down the street to a mailbox numbered 10514, the color of ripe watermelon. - - Green house.
- Parking is fine on the cul de sac right/left beyond the house or anywhere on 25th Place.

If you got this far, and didn't remember to bring something, just park the car. We will take care of you. It is your turn. Here is
the potluck address and phone again: 10514 NW 25 Place, 332-6556. Call me about anything.

Article: Have Faith and a Miracle Will Happen

I do tango to dance close embrace. Close embrace Argentine
tango is difficult because you communicate through subtle
movements of your body and there is no room for error.

After my first three years, I could not take one step forward.
That is discouraging.

One lady has been trying for ten years and seemed like she
would never be able to do it.

The other day I was in my tango class. The teacher put on a
song and we danced. It was like a miracle. We were dancing.

For many of us, the process is slower than we like, sometimes
imperceptibly slow. Your brain is quietly making adjustments.
Have faith and a miracle will happen.
