Stefano and Anna's last competition together in Blackpool
Every competitive dancer awaits the last week of May for the Blackpool Dance Festival. This is where the biggest and the best fight it out on the dancefloor for the coveted British Open Championship title. With Carmen and Bryan retiring last year before blackpool, Michael Malitowski and Joanna Leunis have become the couple to defeat when they won last year’s Blackpool Professional Latin Championship.
Well the polish couple (in an expected outcome) defended their titles becoming Blackpool champions for the 2nd time around. Riccardo Cocci and Yulia Zagorouitchenko is again at number 2 over all but placing first during the Jive Round (GO RULIA!). With Peter and Kristine Stokkebroe taking a leave of absence from the dancing world as Kristina expects their first baby, Franco Formica and Oxana Lebedew have replaced them in the bronze position. I was afraid that Sergey and Melia would take the third this time without them (I’m sorry I really dont like Melia, she has the worst technique I swear just my opinion). Crowd favorites when they we’re amateurs, Maurizio Vescovo and Melinda Törökgyorgy are at number 5. Sadly Eugene Katsevman and Maria Manusova didn’t make it to any of the Finals this year (they made it to the Jive finals last time), their still my favorite couple though.

If you’re like me, you probably use your laptop for way more than Photoshop, Games, Powerpoints or internet browsing. In the recent months that I’ve owned Anita, she has turned out to probably be the best blogging companion I’ve ever had. My Science and Society teacher, Mrs. Assunta Cuyegkeng that their generation doesn’t understand blogging as a journal is supposed to be your own personal private thoughts but we however spread it for the world to see. Some blogging networks have worked around this by giving users privacy options such as showing posts to a limited number of contacts but that doesn’t insure that whatever you type down doesn’t spread.
My own personal solution to this for people who like the idea of keeping a private journal but aren’t used to handwriting long entries anymore. The solution is MAMP and Wordpress. MAMP gives you an easy way to install MySQL APACHE and PHP for your Mac. Once you have MAMP installed you can then simply create a database for your wordpress and install wordpress. You get to blog and rant but still within the comfort and limits of your computer. Your website should only be accessible from your computer or your home network and with simple changes in the port settings you can require visitors (if you want visitors) to enter a password before being able to view any of part of your blog/site
