Music and Dancing Styles
While we ask the band to play Ballroom and Latin music, you are always welcome to dance in any manner that suits you as long as it is with respect to your fellow dancers. The band normally plays one or two requests at the end of each set, so they may occasionally play other types of music such as Country and Polka.
Club Details
The Yellowstone Ballroom Dance Club recently changed our policy regarding the dress code. Since we enjoy having a venue where we can dress to the nines, we encourage our members and guests to dress in a formal or semi-formal attire for the dances at the Elks Lodge, while the attire for dances at the Knights of Columbus is dressy casual. Casual attire is not appropriate.
- Formal/Semi-Formal: Tuxedo or dark suite, tie, and dress shirt for men; formal or evening attire for women. Men may remove their jackets after the first set.
- Dressy Casual: Dressy slacks (no jeans please) and dress shirt (tie and jacket are optional) for men; dressy attire for women.
Club Dues
Since we must pay for the great live band and the romantic ballroom, we must charge dance fees. This year's membership dues are $35 per person. Membership is optional, but with it you get a reduced per-dance rate as well as voting rights. In addition to the yearly membership fee, the cover charge for each dance is $15 for members, while guests should expect to pay $25 per dance. Students with a current student ID pay $10 per dance. Guests living at least one hundred miles from Billings pay $15 per dance with no membership required.
Club Organization
We are organized as a non-profit corporation. We are always eager for new ideas on how to improve our dances, so please send us your thoughts.
Officers: President - Roxanne Hogan; Vice-President - Yvonne Snider; Secretary/Treasurer - Andrew G. Baker
Board Members: Lawrence, Lyle, Patricia, Ruth, and Von
Program Committee: Roxanne, Satit, Valerie, and Beverly
If you would like to give a demonstration dance, please contact one of the program committee members. Any style of dance is welcome.

As verifiable records will show, one of those people who has worked for, and usualyy turns up working with Broadwein, was fairly recently release from jail for the crimes he (JC) committed.
He, like Broadwein and others habitually deceive, mislead, straight out lie to prospective customers, with what they beleive whatever they think these business owners and professionals want to hear, with claims of guaranteeing business to be drawn or directed to their businesses or offices.
To align or put Union Friendly, which has existed for about 18 (eighteen) years, in the same sentence or accusation as Broadwein, is unjust and unfair. Just as many mortgage compaines in the latest financial disaster our country is still reeling from, where most CEO, who signed off the approval of easy-no doc-no verificaion of any kind lending damgled in the faces of milllions, I'd compare that to what Broadwein was in the habit of doing in 2008, before that year, and doing to this very day, and as quite a few professioanls will eventually attest in a fomral forum, he will pay the price.
Broadwein is incapable of manning up to his transgressions on the job, when he's the Owner, working a s a Contractor, or a Manager. Instead of taking the 1st step of admission, and ending his deceptive and his practice of exxageration and false promises of guarantees for results, he continues to chose to stay on his path of inevitiable destruction legally.
Instead of simply realizing that when one, and those around him, to his knowledge, commit crimes against clients @ Union Friendly such as stealing Credit Card #'s & uses them, thereby commintting a Crime, he is just a sguilty, and it is hardly sensible to make an attack back at others or the company he is or was at, as the culprit, as thought eah is at fault, when all the fault lies on him.
Committing crimes against Clients and other Fraud, can result in jail time. Ask the man who often works for Broadwein ("JC"),who was released fairly recently from jail for crimes he committed.
The Rip Off Report is hardl the proper forum to spew a lot of accusations that are unverifiable. However, between verifiable Public Records and Investigation that have taken place, certain professionals ls can discover the facts, besides from sources like the AG's office, the BBB,org, & FTC.
The notion of an accusation that somehow, Union Friendly somehow condoned, ignored, or was a part of any deception, theft. fraud, or other malfeasance, is absolutely as the above sources show, other than one incident created by an Individual (Guess who?) once working there, was an isolated incident and not common practice in the 18 (eighteen years) this business has been in existence.
As Broadwein demonstrates, he jumps ship, flees, hides, fabricates whatever is necessary to think at least in his own little mind that all people who read this report will beleive him, is his own delusions.
He is that nightmare type of Employee or Contractor who can manage to talk his way into a job, cannot produce when and where it counts, and comes up far shart of integrity or an honest work ethic, and who simply makes other around him look bad, then he walks away when the heat is on that he & a few of his Co-Horts have created in the pursuit of Easy-Money, with their anything goes where what is said.
The legitimate Union anybody's in the Ad industry do and state what effective advertising can do, DIRECT, NOT REFER prospective clients and customers to businesses and professionals.
I would hope that anyone viewing the Rip Off Report, does not make hasty, presumptious conclusions w/o 1st using commone sense, their own homework & research, and ponders the questions that matter. There is a pattern that is going on here, that either Broadwein is a part of and/or the mastermind, or he just conincidently keeps ending up on the wrong side of the Law and Integrity.
The pattern has nothing to do with companies who unknowingly made the mistake of bringing him onboard.
Certain professionals will, in due time, take part in facillitating his departure by legal means to end his ongoing slander and deceptive practices, along with his Gang of Clones.
Broadwein should be aware that, even expunging things from the Record is only so effecitve, and there are always a type of residual that naturally gets left behind.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Court orders raises for firefightersThe state labor court ruled Jan. 4 that the city owes its firefighters as much as $2 million in pay raises for 2009 because the two sides have yet to agree on a new contract. Earlier this year, the firefighters' union agreed to wage freezes for 2009 and 2010 if a new agreement could be reached. The decision could have a large impact on the city's 2011 budget, as the firefighters are now expected to win a similar suit over 2010 pay raises, which could cost the city an additional $5 million.

The NFL combine may have just concluded, but there's still another chance for former Nittany Lions to showcase their talents in front of scouts before the draft.
On April 8, a handful of players will participate in drills during Penn State's pro day. They'll be run through a gauntlet of physical drills while personnel from various NFL teams look on.
Only three Penn Staters—Allen Robinson, DaQuan Jones and John Urschel—traveled to Indianapolis for the combine. For those who weren't invited, the pressure is turned up for them to impress come pro day.
Here are three players who have the most to prove when that day comes.

The South's love affair with fried chicken, collard greens, gumbo and biscuits is being challenged - and changed - by an unlikely influence. The North.
Which may seem strange - or even heretical - until you stop to consider that Southern food has always been a confluence of cultures, an amalgamation of its African, European and Native American locals. It just happens that this time around it's the North that is infusing its ideas in the culinary mix.
Credit for this fresh face of Southern cooking goes to a growing band of chefs - some born in the South, many not - who are looking North as they reinterpret the classics.

Salt and pepper shrimp, prepared by Chef Andrea Reusing at Lantern in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Take Vivian Howard, for example. The 35-year-old owner of the Chef and Farmer restaurant in Kinston, N.C., is a true Southerner, the daughter of a North Carolina hog farmer whose grandmother baked candied yams with butter and brown sugar. Yet the yams Howard serves are smashed and double fried, like a Caribbean plantain, a reflection as much of her time spent cooking in New York as of her heritage.
In Louisville, Ky., a Korean-American from Brooklyn marries sorghum and local lamb - and bourbon! - with Asian flavors. In Georgia, Canadian Hugh Acheson showcases the Mediterranean potential of Southern staples such as ramps, morels and veal sweetbreads. And in Carrboro, N.C., Matt Neal - whose dad Bill Neal helped revive Southern cooking in the 1980s - channels his love for New York City in buttermilk biscuits topped with pastrami.
Many argue that Southern food is the country's only true regional cuisine. But much of its distinctiveness comes from its ability to blend. African slaves brought their rice growing culture, laying the groundwork for iconic dishes like gumbo and jambalaya. Sweet potatoes resembled the yams they knew from home, and were used to fill European items like pies. Native Americans contributed their knowledge of the land and its ingredients, showing newcomers how to use corn for foods like cornbread and grits.
These rich food traditions often are what attract chefs from other parts of the country. At Louisville's 610 Magnolia, Brooklyn-born Edward Lee seamlessly blends tradition with the flavors of his Korean heritage in dishes like crab cakes with green tomato kimchi and mango with red onion and daikon sprouts. But rather than corrupting tradition, Lee says such innovation moves it forward.
"I'm not a Southerner and I don't cook Southern food," he says. "I cook my food with a nod to Southern food and culture. I'm playing on their culture and history. I'm not making it better or worse. I'm just doing something different."
In North Carolina, New Jersey native Andrea Reusing projects memories of childhood trips to New York's Chinatown into whole fried local flounder and tea-cured local chicken. She plays on a Southern classic with Korean-style fried chicken wings that offer a brittle crunch and a sweet-spicy glaze. Country ham shows up in fried rice and field peas dot black sticky rice instead of hoppin' John.
"A lot of these Asian flavors are also Southern flavors," Reusing says. "Crunchy fried chicken, salty ham, a great whole fish. Peanuts. There are so many similarities. "
At his two Athens, Ga., restaurants, Acheson adds French, Italian, Spanish, even North African flavors to Georgia ingredients, with dishes like grilled octopus and purple cape beans, cioppino-style local seafood with stewed collards and roasted local chicken with red peppers and sesame. He even has kimchi creamed collard greens, a nod to the classic creamed spinach. Such interpretations, Acheson says, fit right into the South's history.
"Eighty percent of what we think of as Southern food is from slaves who were not indigenous," he says. "It's amazingly geographically different, inflected from so many parts of the world."

BENTON - The Kelly Hawks improved to 6-7 on the season with a 70-28 win against Scott-Mississippi Conference foe Chaffee on Friday night at Kelly High School.
The Hawks were never threatened as they led 19-6 after one quarter and 48-13 at the half against the winless Red Devils.
But despite Chaffee's struggles, Kelly head coach Nick Lanpher was pleased that his team didn't overlook them.
"We played with a lot of intensity like we've been playing the last three games," said Lanpher. "They've done a complete turnaround from how they were playing early in the season. Why we waited so late to do this, I don't know. I credit some of that to me as well as them. I was a little overconfident in them."
Chris Romas led the Hawks with 24 points, including four 3-pointers.
Trent Walters had 12 points, Kent Deason had 10 points and Michael Glastetter added nine points.
"We've got nine guys that can score in double digits," said Lanpher. "All of them can score pretty consistently."
Chaffee was led by Brandon Davis' 19 points.
Kelly will play East Prairie in the Scott-Mississippi Conference Tournament on Monday at Kelly High School.
Kelly won the junior varsity game 55-25 against Chaffee. Jordan Felter had 12 points to lead the Hawks. Augi Orr had six points to lead Chaffee.
DEXTER - The Dexter Bearcats got back on the winning track with a 73-21 win against rival Bernie on Friday.
Dexter (10-4) led 20-5 after one quarter and 40-8 at the half on their homecoming night.
In the wake of their 58-54 loss to Portageville on Thursday night, Dexter head coach Eric Sitze revamped the starting lineup.
"I hope it wakes my starters up a little bit," said Sitze. "We talked a lot about improving ourselves over the next week or so, trying to get better. I don't think we necessarily had a terrible effort against Portageville last night. There's a lot of things there that we can improve on. I just think we're a little too relaxed right now."
But the team seemed to cure some ills against Bernie, which is going through a tough time of late with injuries to some key players, including standout Zach Dill.
Bernie started two freshmen, a sophomore and two juniors.
"Bernie is trying hard," said Sitze. "They're doing all they can with what they have. You have to admire them for that."
Dexter had 11 different players reach the scoring column. They were led by Derek Demaree's 18 points. Britt Arnold led Bernie with 11 points.

They're off the cuff remarks Rob. They may be asshole-ish, but they're not as crass and tasteless as you're being. I'm sorry that your friend didn't like me, but that's not a reason to insinuate that someone beats their wife. I don't believe I've ever made a personal remark about you.

With full on missions and more zombies than you dare to imagine, this is the place where legends and nightmares combine…
£99 Per Person:
Are you ready to face your darkest fears? If you are, they lie in wait ready to battle, ready to eat. This is the Zombie Bootcamp and it's not for the timid…
Once you've reached our Droitwich compound, we'll run you through what the day has lined up for you – including a safety briefing and the what's what of the compound. Following that we will get you kitted out. Everything is provided, all you need bring is your wits to survive, a determination to win and a sense of humour to help get you through the bleakness in store.
Next up is training and getting to grips with your weapons. All ammo is provided in the cost – you just need to become familiar with how your new best friends work, your survival may well depend on it.
Then – ready or not – your missions begin. Expect to feel tense. Expect to feel scared. Expect to question why you came. The zombies are coming for you and there's nowhere to run…
Is it ok to have a few stiffners before I turn up - to settle the nerves?
You will be refused entry to the session if you turn up under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Celebrating staying alive is allowed afterwards however!
Do I need to write a will before attending an experience with you?
Whilst there' s some physical interaction - bit of pushing and shoving - the worst that you'll get is a few bruises. So don't go blaming those love bites on us!
Me and my mates - we like to do everything together. Everything...
However, luckily for you zombie slaying is the perfect group activity - and you won't get knowing winks from the neighbours either. Contact us today!
Once you have your tickets purchased and dates decided upon, you need to head to Droitwich Spa near Birmingham and Kidderminster. Your venue address is 10 Rushock Trading Estate, Droitwich WR9 0NR.
It's about a half an hour drive from Birmingham, which is where you'll also find the nearest mainline station and airport, with Hartlebury being the closest actual rail station.
Please feel free to drop us a line if you need further assistance.
Possibly for your life! This is Zombie Boot Camp – your invitation to experience the joys of a zombie slaying fest. It's a dead end job but somebody's got to do it! Enter the world of the apocalypse, where the undead roam the earth in search of their favourite meal – a manwich!! <mwahhahah>
So what can you expect from your time at the battle camp? Well, it will involve the aforementioned training, followed by not one, but two missions to save the world – yup people, they're so confident in your ability to be a maniac that they put your senses into double meltdown. Marvellous.
Your first mission will involve clearing a government research centre of the walking dead and infected lab staff, who presumably are just a stagger away from being zombies themselves.It's going to involve fast thinking teamwork people – the end is nigh and so yes, you are going to have to work alongside that strange individual who keeps winking at you whilst stroking their butt. Pistol butt.
Listen to your instructors, heed their advice and get stuck in securing the facility before making a tactical withdrawal to prepare for your next skirmish with the dirty rotten scoundrels that are trying to eat you. Hopefully in all of the panic, you haven't lost too many of your brave comrades, fortunately you will also learn some vital techniques in whipping zombie ass along the way.
And so it's onto mission number two and things are just going to get better (depending on how you're viewing things, you may actually think they've taken a dive for the worse of course).
It's time to be hustled and bustled into a warehouse full of zombies – "cheers for that", we hear you say – at which point you'll be split up into pairs. And yes, in all probability you'll get teamed up with the weirdo who take the opportunity to suggest that they hold your butt, pistol butt, throughout the onslaught, purely as a comforting gesture you understand.
But let's be honest, you'll be happy to have anyone alongside you in the dark as you're going to have to leg it down hallways, clear rooms and generally pump as much lead into those rotten zombies as you can. And should your ammo run out in all of the excitement…
You've got to watch those camp zombies in boots! They've got you dead in their sights and given half the chance, will give you something more than just a love bite! Easy tiger, easy…

Candidate says city needs to be business friendly
Northport City Council hopeful would like to attract more visitors
Published: Tuesday, August 7, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 6, 2012 at 10:37 p.m.
Northport City Council District 3 candidate Chuck Gerdau said Northport needs to be more business friendly.
"One of the things I'd like to see is a concierge service at City Hall," Gerdau said. "If you walk in and need a business license or need help, there should be someone there to help you through the process."
He said Northport also needs "trade zones" to attract businesses and people to certain shopping areas, including downtown Northport, areas on McFarland Boulevard and U.S. Highway 43.
"We need to market particular areas, which would have retail, egress and regress and appropriate signage," Gerdau said.
More signs also are needed to direct visitors to Northport's historic attractions, downtown and places like Kentuck Park, he said.
"We want to keep people coming back," Gerdau said. "When you come off the ramp into Northport from the bridge, you don't really know which way to go, and you need to have better signage to signal which way to downtown."
Gerdau said he is concerned about the recent audit of the Northport Police Department, which concluded that the department had been mismanaged under former Police Chief Robert Green.
He said an evaluation should be done of City Hall operations to ensure the city is being operated well.
"If it's such a bad report with the police chief, the buck doesn't stop there — it didn't get this bad on its own," Gerdau said. "We need to look at how we can create a process to make sure that never happens again."
The Northport municipal election will be Aug. 28.
Gerdau has been active in Friends of Historic Northport, the Northport Historic Preservation Commission, the Tuscaloosa Genealogical Society and the Williamson Cemetery Advisory Board.

Some Gallaudet fans were so desperate for a win against Catholic, they counted a 1918 game, during World War I in which Catholic didn't even sponsor any sports, let alone football. Thanks to Tony Tatum's offense and defense, the Buff and Blue have a win that counts. His touchdown catch is the D3football.com Play of the Week.
We solicit video of top plays from every Division III football program and this was our top clip.
If Tony Tatum's name is familiar, there's a reason: He was the one who started the tip drill interception that Gallaudet made famous in 2010.
You can see all of the nominated plays on our Week 2 highlights playlist below, and even more top plays on the D3sports.com YouTube channel.

Spurs announced back in April that they plan to move into a new 56,000 capacity, £400 million stadium - which is currently entitled the Northumberland Park Development project – by 2017.
However, Levy revealed to the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust that the club could be forced to ground share for at least one full Premier League season if the expected move-in date is delayed.
He stated that, unless Eric Pickles, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, swiftly settles on a resolution to a public inquiry that opened last April, Spurs will be forced into sharing either Wembley, MK Dons' stadiummk or the Olympic Stadium, of which will be home to West Ham from the 2016/17 onwards.
Levy told fans that the ground-share would become increasingly likely should a Compulsory Purchase Order on land that Spurs require is delayed any longer.

Chicago Imagists See Big Apple Resurgence?
On October 29 Gallerist NY profiled alumnus, SAIC professor, and influential Chicago Imagist Karl Wirsum (BFA 1961), currently exhibited in a solo show at New York City's Derek Eller Gallery. The show—the artist's first presentation of new work to take place in New York City in 25 years—"arrives just as New York, and the art world is finally embracing comic art, so-called outsider art, and the sort of outré graphic work that Wirsum and many of his colleagues among the Chicago Imagists have been honing for years," says writer Andrew Russett. Imagist sightings "all over town" include recent shows by Jim Nutt (1965, 67) at David Nolan Gallery and Gladys Nilsson (BFA 1962) at National Exemplar. The Whitney also showcased work from Wirsum, Nutt, and Ed Paschke (BFA 1961, MFA 1970) in its 2012 exhibition Sinister Pop. "Scores of young artists are taking cues from this work," Russett says. Wirsum's newest exhibition of "intensely bright alien figures in semi-abstract landscapes" runs through November 17.

Ballerina Ashley Ellis Talks Pointe Shoes
by Ashley Ellis
You may have heard of dancers referring to their body as their instrument. It is so true, and we must constantly take care of our instrument so that we are able to 'play our music' to the best of our ability.
With this said, for a ballerina there is a whole other very important factor that comes into play. Pointe Shoes. Keeping with the same analogy, I'd say that pointe shoes are like the bow to our violin. They go together to create the 'music' of a ballet dancer. How she feels in her shoes can greatly affect her dancing experience.
There are a number of pointe shoe brands out there, and a dancer will usually try many different makes and models before settling on one. My very first pair of pointe shoes were Contempora by Capezio (they were pink and very small, hehe). After that I spent a few years in pointe shoes made by Sansha before settling on FREED Studios Professional, which is what I wear to this day.
I will admit though, that I am currently testing out the waters with a new pointe shoe, FREED Classic. They aren't far from what I am using now but as any ballerina can tell you, once you find your shoe it can be a real challenge to switch brands. The reason for this is that after spending so much time in your chosen pointe shoes they become a part of your foot so to speak; you learn how to articulate and "use" your feet in these shoes.
The biggest difference between what I have been wearing, the 'studios', and the new (to me) 'classics' is that the studios are what we call a stock shoe and the classics are handmade. The truth is that I could go on and on about the differences between the two, but well, for your sake I won't bore you with ALL of the details!
Because the FREED classics are handmade they can be custom ordered for the personal needs of individual dancers. This means that they will not only fit better by shaping them around a dancer's foot, but can also accentuate strengths and give more support or pliability where it's needed. In fact, the alterations that can be made to these shoes are seemingly endless–it's really quite remarkable.
Despite all of the wonderful aspects of having a shoe made just for you, it takes time to get it just right, and when it comes down to it you must feel at home in them. As for me, I am still at home in my stock shoes.
It seems that the general thought that comes to mind when thinking of pointe shoes is, "ouch!". I don't know how many people have asked me if the box is made of wood (no, not wood, just many layers of fabric and glue). It's funny because once you reach a certain point in your professional career you wear them so many hours throughout each day that it really isn't all that painful. Don't get me wrong, it isn't walking on clouds, but your feet become strong, and do toughen up over time.
That said, most dancers will still create some sort of little barrier between the toes and the actual box of the shoe for protection, some of which include: various kinds of sports tape, masking tape, duct tape, toe pads made of foam, wool, rubber—even gel-filled ones. I wear a simple toe pad made from a thin layer of lamb's wool. I actually didn't wear anything in my shoes until about two years ago. My teacher didn't let us when I started out on pointe so that we would really have to feel the floor and articulate our feet better.
One of the most important things to know is learning how to break-in your pointe shoes. They are not the kind of shoes that you can just slide on your foot and wear. If you do—well—they will feel like wood and cause much more pain than they should. This ritual is yet another aspect of wearing pointe shoes that is individual to each dancer.
How I prepare my shoes:
- Cut the shank.
- Add glue to the middle of the shank where I need the most support.
- Sew the insole back down so it doesn't roll up under my arch.
- Step on the box, then work it a bit to soften the upper box area.
- Wear them a bit to break them a little more and form them more to my feet.
- Bang them really hard on cement so they are quiet as well as easier to move in.
- Glue the inside upper portion of the box.
- Sew on elastic and ribbons.
Even though there are those days when I get to that 6th hour of rehearsal and my feet are simply swollen and ready to be soaked in a big bucket of ICE, I do truly love dancing on pointe; with the movement qualities that it allows, and illusions that it can create.

If The Shoe Fits…Pointe Shoe Preparation
by Catherine L. Tully
Pointe shoes have become an integral part of ballet as an art form and, just as each dancer has a unique pair of feet, every ballerina has their own way of preparing these shoes for class or performance. Some slam them in doors to soften them up, while others work on them with little hammers to get the feel "just right". The break-in method can vary depending on factors such as the brand of shoe and the type of role that is being performed.
We talked a bit at the beginning of the year about these special slippers, and today we're going in for a closer look…
Rebecca King, corps de ballet dancer with Mimi City Ballet and author of the dance blog Tendus Under A Palm Tree wears Freed pointe shoes. We asked her to share her "secret formula" for getting them ready to wear, and this is what she had to say…
"Preparing a pair of pointe shoes is as much a ritual to a ballerina as it is a necessity. Even though, as professionals, our shoes are shipped to us straight from London, made by hand with love by our chosen "makers" to our exact specifications, many dancers find it necessary to make some extra alterations. It can take dancers years to get their shoes exactly as they want them and some dancers go their entire career in search of the elusive perfect shoe.
A maker hand-builds about 30-40 pairs of shoes at Freed of London every day, each shoe costing around $100. About two-thirds of the shoes produced are created for individual dancer's specifications. (Find out more about these fascinating pieces of art on Freed's website.)
I wear a size four, with a double X width, made by my beloved "U" maker. On the bottom of my shoe underneath the width, he stamps his symbol, "U", as a kind of signature; laying claim to his craftsmanship. The thing I love most about Mr. U is how aesthetically beautiful his shoes are. Something about the way the toe of the shoe is built compliments every wearer's foot. He is a very important person in my life.
The first thing I do is remove the pesky nail from the heel of the shoe. This nail is meant to secure the paper "shank", or the inner sole of the shoe, to the outer sole of the shoe. Once it is removed, I cut the paper shank to the shoe's middle seam, essentially cutting it in half. Because my feet are not very good, this allows the sole of my shoe to bend and lets me point my feet to their full potential. I then glue the end of the shank to the outer sole so it does not move around as I dance.
Next, I put super glue in the tips of the shoes. When the tip of the shoe gets soft, it no longer functions like I need it to; this is my ultimate pointe shoe pet peeve. Mr. U even puts an extra piece of burlap in the tip with extra glue upon my request, but I always apply more glue for good measure.
Then I cut the satin off the top of the shoe and quickly darn around the edges. This gives me a little extra support when my shoes start to die, and also ensures that the freshly cut satin stays in place.
Finally, the ribbon process begins. I use pink ribbons secured over crisscrossed thin pink elastic. I prefer the thin elastic, as I don't feel a lot of pressure on my ankles, while the crisscross restricts my movement laterally, helping to prevent ankle sprains.
Though this is my current process, if you check back with me in two years, I am fairly certain I will have a new procedure, as my system is constantly evolving. But as for now, I feel I can dance my best with a half shank, extra super glue, and Mr. U on my side."
As Ms. King clearly illustrates, ballerinas have a special relationship with their pointe shoes. However, for ballet companies, the costs associated with keeping the ladies on their toes can be astronomical. According to Miami City Ballet's website, the average pair of pointe shoes typically only last for one performance.
Here is a closer look at what ballet companies across the nation pay to keep the ladies on their toes:
Last year the dancers at Oregon Ballet Theatre used about 1,500 pairs of pointe shoes which added up to $120,000.
Texas Ballet Theatre will spend $80,000 on pointe shoes this year.
Miami City Ballet dancers wear 3,000 pairs of pointe shoes each season for a total cost of $200,000.
Last season Cincinnati Ballet spent $82,000 on pointe shoes for the company.
And New York City Ballet? Their dancers can go through 40 to 50 pairs each performance. This means a staggering total of 8,500+ pairs of pointe shoes each year. I don't even want to do the math on that one. (But according to this article on The Huffington Post, it adds up to $500,000!)
The Professional Pointe Shoe Fitter
Please welcome Brenda Neville, head of the US Retail Department & NYC Boutique for Freed of London. Ms. Neville is here to talk with us today about her career as a Professional Pointe Shoe Fitter…
What is your background in dance?
I received my early dance training at the Milwaukee Ballet School and went on to graduate from Butler University in Indianapolis with a B.A. in Dance Pedegogy. After graduation, I moved to New York and then spent the next 15 years performing and touring internationally with a variety of companies, choreographer's, and musical theatre productions in styles ranging from ballet to flamenco to Irish Step dance.
What are you doing now?
Aside from my work at Freed's, I am the founder and Artistic Director of Neville Dance Theatre, a contemporary ballet company based in New York with annual performance seasons, and teach ballet classes and world dance workshops at The Ailey School, Steps on Broadway, and Covenant Ballet School of Brooklyn, to name a few.
How did you become a Professional Fitter?
When I wasn't performing or touring, I supplemented my time and income in New York working with pointe shoe manufacturers as a fitter, manager and product tester. It's now been over 15 years that I've been in the business.
What organizations have you worked with in terms of fitting pointe shoes?0
Fitting Freed Of London Pointe Shoes
Thank you to Brenda R. Neville and Freed of London for the content here today…to SAB student Ashley McAleer for her time, and to Christopher Duggan for his photography…
Making sure your pointe shoes fit properly is of the utmost importance. For all pointe shoes, it is crucial that the length, width, and box fit the foot correctly so that the shoe can provide adequate support and help prevent injury. There should also be enough freedom of movement so that the dancer can perform in them without feeling restricted.
Each pointe shoe manufacturer varies slightly in the way their shoes fit. Freed pointe shoe sizing converts down to about 2.5 sizes below a US Street shoe size. This is a good guideline to begin with—then you should know what to look for in the feel of the shoe once it's on.
When trying on a Freed pointe shoe, the width should be snug enough so that you feel some resistance across your metatarsal as you push your foot into the block/box. Think of it feeling like a sock–but not pinching, with the ball and sole of the foot able to lie flat on the floor with ease. Freeds will stretch and widen across the box to mold and shape to the dancer's individual foot. For this reason it is important that the shoes aren't too wide when purchased.0
The History & Making Of Freed Pointe Shoes
In the late 1920's, Frederick Freed left England's leading pointe shoe manufacturer (along with his wife and one assistant) to set up shop in a small basement, making shoes of their own. Over time, his reputation for producing quality shoes increased, as did the demand for his shoes. This took the Freed brand to the forefront of the industry where it remains one of the most respected shoes among ballet dancers worldwide. Amazingly, after all these years The Freed of London Shop is still located at the same address.
There is something to be said for tradition.
Today over 250,000 pairs of Freeds are made every year, and they are sold in over 50 countries. Every one of them is hand-crafted by a Professional Pointe Shoe Maker, each of which makes between 30 and 40 pairs daily. Makers shape their shoes in a unique way and they are identified by their own personal stamp on the bottom of the shoe. Symbols include letters, a key, a heart and a Maltese Cross, among others.6
The Freed Pointe Shoe
Today I'm pleased to announce that we will be doing a series of posts about Freed pointe shoes in the coming weeks on 4dancers. Brenda Neville is a professional fitter and works in retail management at Freed's boutique store in New York, and she was kind enough to walk us through some of the history, as well as talk a bit about fitting pointe shoes properly and other pointe-related topics.
I admit to having a certain "soft spot" for Freeds. Although I started with Capezio Pavlova's back in the day, I always was fascinated by the unusual color of Freed pointe shoes. As soon as I was able, I switched over—and never looked back. Freeds were the shoes I wore for the rest of my time as a ballet dancer. And I loved them.
I can still recall going to have them fitted with my Mom in some old building downtown. We would get into the caged metal elevator and ride up to the level that the store was located on. It always seemed that there were no other people in the building when we were there. Instead of that being a spooky experience, it was almost magical. I always enjoyed going to get new shoes…1
The Break-In Saga In Three Chapters – Emily Kate Long
Throughout the month we'll be hearing a variety of things about pointe shoes–from what they do to the feet, to how they are made. Today we have Emily Kate Long with us to talk about how she breaks in her pointe shoes…
I wear Freed Classic Pro, "Anchor" maker. Since I'm unable to get special order shoes, I do a lot to mine to make them just right.
First things first: ribbons and crisscross elastic go on. I sew the heel ends of the elastics slightly towards the outside of the heel seam so the shoe won't twist in and sickle. Then the back nail comes out, I bend the shanks and step on each shoe, and they are ready to break in with some releves.
Once the box is a little more pliable, I take a cotton drawstring (stockpiled from when I wore Chacott or borrowed from other dancers; Classic Pro have elastic drawstrings) and twist it into a little rope to sew around the platform of each shoe. I use the wear pattern on the satin to inform the placement of the darning–usually I make it so the stitching pushes me a little farther over the shoe and a little to the inside.
Darning also helps correct any lumps or imperfections on the pleats or platform and quiets the shoes down. I also sew the sides of the shoes down so my foot doesn't look like it has a turtleneck sweater on. I think pointe shoes should look like a beautiful evening gown, complete with plunging neckline!
Step three: noise control! Loud shoes are my worst nightmare, so I mush up the box more and do lots of changements before I glue them. Then a light coating of glue on the inside, mainly on the pleats and along the shank. Once the glue cures they are ready to go. I usually keep three or four pairs ready: harder for class and classical rehearsals, softer for contemporary work, and one really dead comfy pair for rehearsals that involve a lot of standing around.
About the dancer:

But when nothing is valued for what it is, everything is destined to be wasted. Once the values of things refer only to their future usefulness, then an infinite withdrawal of value from the living present has begun. Nothing (and nobody) can then exist that is not theoretically replaceable by something (or somebody) more valuable. The country that we (or some of us) had thought to make our home becomes instead 'a nation rich in natural resources'; the good bounty of the land begins its mechanical metamorphosis into junk, garbage, silt, poison, and other forms of 'waste.' "The inevitable result of such an economy is that no farm or any other usable property can safely be regarded by anyone as a home, no home is ultimately worthy of our loyalty, nothing is ultimately worth doing, and no place or task or person is worth a lifetime's devotion. 'Waste,' in such an economy, must eventually include several categories of humans--the unborn, the old, 'disinvested' farmers, the unemployed, the 'unemployable.' Indeed, once our homeland, our source, is regarded as a resource, we are all sliding downward toward the ashheap or the dump.

I am not even gonna mention the actual ring-tone itself which constituted audiological warfare.

Peyton Manning's Denver Broncos and Richard Sherman's Seattle Seahawks were the NFL's best all season, so it's fitting that they'll meet in the Super Bowl.
Nobody scored as many points or gained as many yards as the Broncos.
Nobody allowed as few points or gave up as few yards as the Seahawks.
And nobody won as many games as those clubs, either.
What a way to finish the season. When the AFC champion Broncos (15-3) play the NFC champion Seahawks (15-3) on Feb. 2 at what could be a chilly MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., it will be the first Super Bowl since 1991 pitting the league's highest-scoring team in the regular season against the team that was scored on the least, according to STATS.
It's also only the second time in the last 20 Super Bowls that the No. 1 seed in each conference reached the NFL championship game.
"It will be a great matchup," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. "I think it's an extraordinary opportunity to go against a guy (Manning) that set all the records in the history of the game."
Harvin missed Sunday's NFC Championship game after suffering a concussion a week earlier in the divisional playoff win over New Orleans. Harvin was not cleared by doctors in time to play against the 49ers.
Carroll said Monday that Harvin could be cleared in time to practice as early as Wednesday. Carroll said that was based on how Harvin was feeling over the weekend but that there were still "a couple of clearances" needed before he could practice.
Cowboys: Owner and general manager Jerry Jones said offensive coordinator Bill Callahan and defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin will return next season.
Pro Bowl: Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith will be heading to his first Pro Bowl, replacing the Patriots' Tom Brady on Sunday in Honolulu.
Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has been chosen to replace Seattle's Russell Wilson. It is the second consecutive selection for Luck, a former Stanford star who just completed his second NFL season.
Browns safety T.J. Ward, former De La Salle High standout, was selected as an alternate and will replace Steelers safety Troy Polamalu, who is unable to participate because of an injury.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram contributed to this report.

Easy to learn, fast to create a character, tons of fun to be had swashbuckling as one of the musketeers or any other type of adventurer! Combat is deadly as one should expect from a sword wound or musketball. Great setting, starting adventure included! Everything you need to get into the game, all in one fairly short book. This is a game from back when games were not long-winded treatises!
Flashing Blades character generation system is incredibly easy to use and allows you to create a character in under 5 minutes. The combat system is a little time consuming and incredibly lethal, but, hey, it only takes a few minutes to make a new character, right? ;) This game is a bunch of fun, has very few rules, allows for quick creation, and makes for some great gaming.

Cable vest
I am an extreme beginner! I think it would be easier to do this project with someone who can be bothered with helping me understand the pattern etc and hold my hand through it basically! I understand if there are no takers!
Here is the pattern:
Of course we're willing to help! If you have your yarn and needles, start with casting on and when you reach a glitch, holler!
I have to get circular needles yet! The yarn I have was given to me, its ~6mm thick... will this do for the materials needed "9(10:12) oz. of bulky or worsted weight yarn"?
I've never known what mm thickness my yarn is. :thinking: Does it have a label?
I found it! its a 6 oz yarn , the needles recommended are 13mm so should be fine?
A question already! Got my circular needles but the pattern says to cast onto the 17 needle and transfer to the 13 needle... how!?
Hold the needle with the cast-on stitches in your left hand and knit the stitches with the 13 circ. I think they just want you to cast on with the large needle so the bottom edge won't be too tight.
The ribbing is done on the 13s and then you go back to the 17--very common to knit ribbing on smaller needles--just knit to transfer the stitches then, too.
oh! I just transfered them... should I move them back and them knit them onto the 13?
Their measurements confuse me a little, but I'll explain this so you know.
When following such a pattern that requires measurements listed in the following way:
"To Fit: 31-32(34-36:38-40)" bust."
Bust: 34(38:42)" Length to Shoulder: 21(21-1/2:22)"
9(10:12) oz. of bulky or worsted weight yarn.
You well read the pattern this way:
If you're going with the "to fit" of 31-32 bust, you'll go with Bust 34", Length to Shoulder: 21". And you'll need 9 oz of the bulky yarn.
Same goes with "To fit:34-36", Bust: 38", Length to Shoulder: 21 1/2", and 10 oz of bulky yarn.
Does that make sense?
So let's say you're going for the first one.. (Bust: 34", Length to Shoulder: 21"). You would cast 68 sts onto the size 17 needles. Now, you'll change to size 13's the way Ingrid described and do k1, p1 until the ribbing measures 1 1/4".
Now k1, p1 6 times (that'll be 12 stitches), inc (increase) 1 st (and it let's you know which increase to use, refer to this page and scroll down to k1f&b), p1. Now you will repeat from the increase(k1f&b) 3 more times. After that is done you k1, p1 the remaining sts.
Now you'll change to size 17's again, keep following the pattern.. if you need any more help, feel free to ask:)
If I made any mistakes, someone is welcome to correct me :P
Good luck, Claire!

They're meant to grab your attention and a Billboard in Harrison, Arkansas, is doing just as it was intended.
Many in the town, though, believe it's garnering the wrong kind publicity.
The billboard reads "Beautiful Town, Beautiful People, No Wrong Exits, No Bad Neighborhoods." It directs people to a website that indicates the town is nearly 98% white. The site also spotlights area residents like the Ku Klux Klan director Thom Rob.
The new sign is underneath older one that had already grabbed the spotlight; It reads "Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white."
The billboard company won't say who is responsible for either sign, or if it's the same person or group. The Harrison Community Task Force on Race Relations also doesn't know if the two billboards are connected, but they say the message is similar.
One task force member says she feels as if certain groups are trying to portray Harrison as an anti-diversity city.
"They're trying to stake their claim and build a community for themselves that they feel like they carry some weight in, and I think the community has had enough of that and saying they don't speak for them," explained Layne Ragsdale, a member of the Community Task Force on Race Relations.
The billboard says it's sponsored by Harrison area business owners. KY3 news wanted to see which business owners are involved, so we went to the website and found a link to several realtors.
"I don't want to be associated with it," said Bob Dodson, a local realtor.
Dodson says he had no idea his business is linked to the site until a friend told him. The website does point out that the links contained within the site does "not imply sponsorship."
KY3 emailed the contact on the website, but no one has responded at this point.
As for Dodson, he's trying to get his link removed from the website; he wants people to know the billboard message isn't a true reflection of Harrison.
"There are a few people who are trying to speak for the entire community and we have a loving community."

The beaches were a big attraction, they look sensational.
Right, aside from the chillies and (apparently camp) accents, the only thing the Missus suggests is the beaches (obviously), Roman archaeology, casbahs...Moreover all her knowledge is pre revolution so it might be very different now.

The beaches were good,Tunis was an interesting city where we managed with our knowledge of French and Carthage was brilliant.
