    Caller (dancing)

    A caller is a person who prompts dance figures in such dances as line dance, square dance, and contra dance. The caller might be one of the participating dancers, though in modern country dance this is rare.

    In round dance a person who performs this function is called a cuer. Their role is fundamentally the same as a caller, in that they tell dancers what to do in a given dance, though they differ on several smaller points. In northern New England contra dancing, the caller is also known as the prompter.

    Comparing callers and cuers

    Callers and cuers serve slightly different functions in different types of dance. Improvisation in modern Western square dance calling distinguishes it from the calling in many other types of dance.

    Callers in many dance types are expected to sing and to be entertaining, but round dance cuers do not sing and are expected to be as unobtrusive as possible.

    Standardized dances such as round dance, modern Western square dance, and Salsa Rueda consist of a number of defined difficulty levels. Callers and cuers are responsible for knowing all of the calls or cues (respectively), also known as figures, for the defined difficulty level at which their dancers are dancing, as well as all figures belonging to lower or easier levels.

    Betting in poker

    In the game of poker, the play largely centers on the act of betting, and as such, a protocol has been developed to speed up play, lessen confusion, and increase security while playing. Different games are played using different types of bets, and small variations in etiquette exist between cardrooms, but for the most part the following rules and protocol are observed by the majority of poker players.

    Procedure

    Players in a poker game act in turn, in clockwise rotation (acting out of turn can negatively affect other players). When it is a player's turn to act, the first verbal declaration or action she takes binds her to her choice of action; this rule prevents a player from changing her action after seeing how other players react to her initial, verbal action.

    Until the first bet is made each player in turn may "check," which is to not place a bet, or "open," which is to make the first bet. After the first bet each player may "fold," which is to drop out of the hand losing any bets they have already made; "call," which is to match the highest bet so far made; or "raise," which is to increase the previous high bet.

    You Run

    by: Call

    You may find a better way
    you may find the reason for it all
    say you walked on holy ground
    say you heard the sweetest sound of all
    but you find that you never really cared
    you find out that you have no love to share at all
    So you challenge everyone you meet
    crying out to fill a void in you
    what are you running from my love
    whats this thing you're guilty of
    follow me and never feel accused
    But you never do believe a word I say
    and you never did believe there'd be day of reckoning
    So you run and you run and you run
    and you never stop
    and you work and you work
    until you drop
    you're in over your head and the pressure just don't quit
    but you can't escape the reach of love
    Faces haunt you in your dreams
    struggles of the broken heart I fear
    waking from a fitful sleep
    dutifully appointments keep
    try to hold this image of respect
    so someone tells you when and where to go
    but all the time you never really show your feelings
    So you run and you run and you run
    and you never stop
    and you work and you work
    and you work until you drop
    you're in over your head and the pressure just don't quit
    but you can't escape the reach of love
    The reach of love
    ooh of love
    You may find a better way
    you might find the reason for it all
    you may hold a better hand
    all your pride and understanding
    never really feeling love at all
    but what you thought were distant worlds apart
    pulls you in and wraps around your heart forever
    so you run and and you run and you run
    and you never stop
    and you work and you work and you work
    until you drop
    you're in over your head but the pressure just wont quit
    but you can't escape the reach of love
    so you run and you run and you run
    and you never stop
    and you work and you work and you work
    until you drop
    You're in over your head and the pressure just don't stop
    so you push and you push and you push
    until you drop
    oh, you run
