BOZEMAN -- A new book that focuses on the changing ecology and management approaches in Yellowstone National Park has been published by Harvard University Press.
"Yellowstone's Wildlife in Transition" incorporates the expertise of more than 30 contributors. Among them are Montana State University faculty members in two departments -- the Department of Ecology and the Department of Earth Sciences -- and several MSU alumni who work for the National Park Service or other federal agencies.
Cindy Goeddel, an MSU undergraduate student and professional photographer, took and donated all the photos in the 368-page book.
"The book has a big MSU footprint," said MSU ecologist Bob Garrott, one of its three editors.
Garrott is a professor in the MSU Department of Ecology and director of MSU's Fish and Wildlife Ecology and Management Program. The other two editors work for the National Park Service. P.J. White, a long-time collaborator of Garrott's, is chief of wildlife and aquatic resources at Yellowstone National Park. Glenn Plumb is chief wildlife biologist in the Biological Resource Management Division of the National Park Service.
Famed naturalist Edward O. Wilson, professor emeritus at Harvard and presenter of an annual award in his name at MSU, wrote the foreword.
The book describes in layman terms how management policies have evolved since Yellowstone National Park was created in the 1870s. Basically, intensive management to protect and propagate large-bodies mammals has given way to an approach that focuses on restoring and preserving ecological processes.
"Recognizing the importance of natural occurrences such as fires and predation, this more ecological informed oversight has achieved notable successes, including the recovery of threatened native species of wolves, bald eagles and grizzly bears," the editors wrote.
At the same time, Yellowstone is a system under strain from three overriding stressors: invasive species, such as blister rust, lake trout, brucellosis and mountain goats; private-sector development of unprotected lands; and a warming climate.
Garrott said earlier policies dictated that the park should be managed to maintain the conditions encountered when Europeans first described the park. Many adults today can understand that sentiment. Those who visited the park when they were youngsters may want their children to experience Yellowstone the same way they did.
Large ecosystems change, however, and the public shouldn't be surprised when changes occur, Garrott said. Therefore, forest fires aren't disasters. Reintroduced wolves bring about fundamental changes that should be embraced.
The changing approaches to Yellowstone management are appropriate, Garrott said. He added that ecologists in the park have conducted "phenomenal science" over the past 30 years and their findings have influenced decisions and public opinion for the benefit of society.
Wilson wrote in his foreword that the book's intent is to translate that science into 21st century stewardship.
Besides describing change and scientific discovery in the park, the book makes recommendations on how to confront challenges in American parks and conservation areas worldwide. For example: "Strategies to preserve key natural resources should include monitoring to detect problems leading to ecosystem degradation; research to evaluate and inform alternate management actions; strategic planning to explore possible consequences of decisions, consider plausible futures, and avoid undesired conditions; and an adaptive management framework to decide if, when and how to initiate corrective management."
The authors noted that, "Perhaps the most difficult decision managers will face is whether to intervene with active management, such as assisting migration, culling animals, lighting fires, restoring native animals and vegetation, spraying weeds and thinning forests."
The authors recommended that managers consider historical fidelity, ecological integrity, and resilience when deciding on the type and extent of management intervention to pursue. The authors also suggested that managers consider diverse approaches ranging from nonintervention to active transformation.

Blastoff has hit the NoHo Arts District. | PHOTOS
The new pop culture store with an emphasis on vintage and current comic books, other publications and original art celebrates its grand opening Saturday, Nov. 10.
Located on Lankershim Boulevard half a block south of Magnolia Boulevard, the shop with the distinctive rocket ship sign will play host this afternoon to such luminaries as comics writer Mark Waid ("The Flash"), crime novelist and Batman scribe Gregg Hurwitz, Blastoff co-owner Scott Tipton - who also writes Dr. Who and Star Trek comics - and science fiction legend Harlan Ellison.
Selections of Ellison's 70-plus-year-old comic book collection are on sale through Blastoff.
"We're titling ourselves as a boutique," explained Blastoff's other partner, Jud Meyers, who oversees the retail side of the operation, which also includes his and Tipton's year-old website, blastoffcomics.com. "We're not just a comic book store," Meyers said. "We're only putting out the things that are the best of the best."
Blastoff has a vintage inventory, which includes complete runs of titles from the medium's early Golden Age (late 1930s through World War II), Silver Age superhero revival period (mid-1950s through late '60s, which saw the birth of such Marvel icons as Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and The Hulk) and great stuff that came in between and later, such as EC horror comics from the early `50s.
A fine set of the first six issues of "The Amazing Spider-Man" adorned Blastoff's walls as Meyers hurried to prepare the shop for business earlier this week. Cherry wood shelves and fixtures, custom made in unique, curving designs, presented the colorful merchandise in an aesthetic manner rarely seen in usually messy, overlit comics emporia.
"Every store has its own personality, and normally it's the personality of the owner - which is why there are many stores that a lot of people don't want to go into!" joked Meyers, who's been in the business for 30 of his 42 years and still has an interest in the Earth 2 stores he co-founded in Sherman Oaks and Reseda.
He said he wanted Blastoff to have a warm, inviting feel to it that would not only welcome collectors, investors and geeks, but families (there's a kids section), women, entertainment industry professionals from the nearby studios and the ever-growing number of culturally aware pedestrians that wander North Hollywood's booming cultural center.
"We'll be a little bit more high profile because we're in North Hollywood," Meyers predicted. "In a month, comicbookresources.com is moving in a block away above the Laemmle NoHo 7 theater. It's the biggest and best-known comic book site on the Web."
Ellison, for one, expects the store to succeed.
"What Jud has put together is going to be visually exciting and it's in a lively neighborhood that's got a lot of foot traffic," said the widely awarded author and scripter of classic "Star Trek" and "Outer Limits" episodes. "I think it's going to be one of the regular stops on the underground railroad of people who spend time with popular culture."
Plans are to bring in stars and directors of the industry-dominating superhero film and TV business for signings alongside artists and writers. Blastoff will also sell original art - the one-of-a-kind pages the artists draw their books on - from hot new talents such as Italy's Elena Casagrande.
A comics historian and critic as well as writer, Tipton hopes the shop will also be a monument to the artform he's loved since childhood.
"What I really want the store to be about is getting good comics into people's hands, and for there to be a focus in the store on history," said Tipton, 41. "The key is just having a very cool environment that can always find people what they're looking for.
"I'm trying to create the store that I'd want to go to."

Guns N' Roses hit & Axl Rose featured in World Cup ad
Listen to Guns N' Roses on iHeartRadio
Guns N' Roses is part of "The Greatest Show on Earth." That's the name of a new Budweiser ad created for the World Cup. The two-minute and 23-second spot presents four soccer greats as rock stars who take the stage for a concert. Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o is the frontman, and raps new lyrics to the Guns N' Roses classic "Paradise City."
The clip ends with Brazil's Hulk, the band's guitarist, tossing his pick into the crowd. Axl Rose has the lucky catch, and after grabbing the pick out of the air cracks open and lifts a Bud to the band.

Is it safe to get a manicure while I'm pregnant?
Planning to go for a whole make up this weekend and would want to know if all will be well with my baby whom i feel like is swimming in my tummy
18th April 2014 09:17 PM #2
Dear tshirumorry,
Thank you for your question. Apologies for the delayed reply and I hope you felt suitably pampered at your weekend.
Having a normal manicure is safe in pregnancy. You have to be a bit more careful if you choose to have gel nails applied as the applying and removal process uses chemicals which are best avoided in pregnancy - it is best to avoid breathing these in.
Warm wishes,

Roland Mouret Fall 2012
It's difficult to see from home since runway photos are usually only shot from one direction, but the backs of so many clothes this season either a) look like a whole different type of clothing or b) are more worked and detailed than the front. This adds a certain depth to a collection, but as it doesn't come across in pictures, let's talk about it—Roland Mouret's approach makes for a nice example.
In his fall show this morning, there was a butter-yellow day dress (long sleeve, square neckline) with a skirt that looked full when the model was walking toward you but like a pencil skirt with an apron wrapped around it when she walked away. Demure from the front, supersexy from the back. Mouret did the same thing with skirts in ivory and dove gray, altogether evoking that idea of subversive ladylike dressing that's been permeating the shows. The designer also played around with vests in wool crepe or fur (layered over tight turtlenecks) that had backs hemmed to shoulder-blade level and long tails in front that were tethered to pants with a belt that ran around the front of the vest and—stay with me here—through the back belt loops of the pants. If it sounds complicated, it still looked simple and chic.
The point is that there were some great options for day here, including the New Look–inspired skirt suits with fully full skirts. They had a sort of English country vibe (never mind that the collection started with the idea of postwar France), and come fall, they will make great alternatives to all the fitted pantsuits out there, especially if they're paired with those tall straight boots with stacked heels the models were wearing, part of Mouret's new shoe collection. He's designed six styles in all, including blockish pumps and stretch knee-high boots. The straight boots in leather were the best. No, it's not that the designer added shoes to his line because he wanted more work; he's already making shoes for Robert Clergerie, where he's creative director, so he may as well make them for himself. And as Mouret says, "You don't want to not try." So there you have it—fantastic clothes for day and shoes made for walking. Whether you're coming or going, that's up to you.

silver conversion
Amount: pound (lb) of silver mass
Equals: 14.58 troy ounces (oz t) in silver mass
Calculate troy ounces of silver per pound unit. The silver converter.
TOGGLE : from troy ounces into pounds in the other way around.
CONVERT : between other silver measuring units - complete list.
Silver Amounts (solid pure silver)
This calculator tool is based on the .999 fine silver, chemical symbol Ag and with calculated density of: 10.497 g/cm3 (it is the fine quality solid silver - 99.99% pure volume, not Sterling silver. Fine Silver kind which is listed among all other valued precious metals. The one used for making currency coins, sterling silver jewelry and tableware, various scientific equipments and also used in dentistry, for making mirrors and optics, plus a lot in in photography, etc.. Traders invest in silver on commodity markets - in commodity future trading or by trading by using Forex platforms alongside currency pairs. It's a good wise idea to start learning at least basics in a commodity trading school first to get used to the market and start with small investments. Only after sell and buy silver.) Silver is found either in table among noble metals or precious metals list.
Is it possible to manage numerous calculations, related to how heavy are other silver volumes, all on one page? Yes, the all in one silver multiunit calculator makes it possible to manage. Both ounce units, the troy plus the avoirdupois, are listed in the silver metal main menu.
Convert silver measuring units between pound (lb) and troy ounces (oz t) of silver but in the other direction from troy ounces into pounds.
|conversion result for silver:
|1 pound
|troy ounces
|oz t
Precious metals: silver conversion
This online silver from lb into oz t (precious metal) converter is a handy tool not just for certified or experienced professionals. It can help when selling scrap metals for recycling.
Other applications of this silver calculator are ...
With the above mentioned units calculating service it provides, this silver converter proved to be useful also as a teaching tool:
1. in practicing pounds and troy ounces ( lb vs. oz t ) exchange.
2. for conversion factors training exercises with converting mass/weights units vs. liquid/fluid volume units measures.
3. work with silver's density values including other physical properties this metal has.
International unit symbols for these two silver measurements are:
Abbreviation or prefix ( abbr. short brevis ), unit symbol, for pound is: lb
Abbreviation or prefix ( abbr. ) brevis - short unit symbol for ounce (troy) is: oz t
One pound of silver converted to ounce (troy) equals to 14.58 oz t
How many troy ounces of silver are in 1 pound? The answer is: The change of 1 lb ( pound ) unit of a silver amount equals = to 14.58 oz t ( ounce (troy) ) as the equivalent measure for the same silver type.
In principle with any measuring task, switched on professional people always ensure, and their success depends on, they get the most precise conversion results everywhere and every-time. Not only whenever possible, it's always so. Often having only a good idea ( or more ideas ) might not be perfect nor good enough solutions. Subjects of high economic value such as stocks, foreign exchange market and various units in precious metals trading, money, financing ( to list just several of all kinds of investments ), are way too important. Different matters seek an accurate financial advice first, with a plan. Especially precise prices-versus-sizes of silver can have a crucial/pivotal role in investments. If there is an exact known measure in lb - pounds for silver amount, the rule is that the pound number gets converted into oz t - troy ounces or any other unit of silver absolutely exactly. It's like an insurance for a trader or investor who is buying. And a saving calculator for having a peace of mind by knowing more about the quantity of e.g. how much industrial commodities is being bought well before it is payed for. It is also a part of savings to my superannuation funds. "Super funds" as we call them in this country.

A Big Thanks to All Our Dads
A message from Rose M. Littlejohn, Board President, and Barbara Murphy-Warrington, CEO
This Sunday is Father's Day in the USA, a celebration of the more than 70 million men in the US who play pivotal roles in the lives of their children - supporting, educating, and encouraging them, helping them fulfill their potential, and providing positive role models and mentorship.
Increasingly over the past 100 years of Girl Scouting in New York, fathers have played a role in making Girl Scouting possible and, for the last few decades, have joined the Girl Scouts to directly support their daughters' Girl Scouting goals, projects, and initiatives. They have taken on roles as troop leaders, volunteers and board members. These fathers have "cheered-on" their daughters' exploration of new adventures at our Camp Kaufmann, and they provided invaluable support for their daughters' community projects in the form of hands-on help, managerial advice, and encouragement. It is this involvement that ensures that our more than 26,600 New York City Girl Scouts from every corner of the city can participate in our programs, build leadership skills, and improve their communities.
This Father's Day, we celebrate the men who support and encourage their daughters---their Girl Scouts---to flourish into women of courage, confidence, and character.

If you aren't familiar with Linux or dual/multi booting in general, I would suggest running from livecd or a USB memory stick based boot.
But anyway, some very quick and simple research would have already answered your question...............
Yes, you can run multiple OS's on one PC, via a "boot loader" or "boot manager"
This, in very basic terms, steps in at boot time and points to the chosen OS's partition as the one to boot from.
Look up "Lilo" & "Grub" - the most common Linux boot managers.
Look up "chainloading" or "chainloader" for loading one boot manager directly from another.
If you want to run multiple OS's simultaneously, look at the various "virtualisation environments" available.
One of the most popular commercial ones is VMware Worksation. They also have some free products available, like VMplayer and VMware Server.
There are quite a few others also, such as VirtualBox, Xen, Virtual PC, etc.

Firstly I must apologize for the title… I'm afraid it sounds like one of those dodgy emails we all get from spammers but it was the best way of summarizing what I was going to write about today. Whenever I speak with mechanical engineers about why they use simulation, regardless of what they design or where they are from, they always say the same thing (and in no particular order):
- Reduce prototyping and testing costs
- Improve product performance and functionality
- Reduce design time
They each jostle for the top position depending on the industry or the type of application but that's our trifecta. We all know about how reducing physical testing reduces costs but we rarely talk about how fluid flow and heat transfer simulation can help improve product performance/functionality. Improving product performance and functionality is cost-effective because you don't need to invest in any tools. You don't need to create a new design from scratch – you use what you already have as a baseline and you make it better, faster, cheaper. And simulation is the best tool at your disposal for taking your design to the next level.
Sometimes you hear of a case where you see benefits of simulation arising from a combination of the three "reasons". Case in point: Fico Besi develops and markets a large range of chip packaging systems for mobile phones, PDAs, modems, computers as well as other electronic appliances. Their new generation of machines uses lasers as they are the ideal method for cutting printed circuit boards (PCB) and memory cards. The laser optics are protected by a glass window. The dust chamber prevents the laser light from escaping and protects the operator from dust and smoke.
Shortly after designing one of their new machines for a client, the team noticed that the laser lost effectiveness within 15 minutes. The dust created as a result of the cutting process seemed to contaminate the glass and absorbed the laser light; therefore, stopping the laser from reaching the PCB material. Since cleaning the glass required machine downtime and loss of productivity, the engineering team at Fico had an interesting challenge.
"We needed to increase the cleaning interval to meet our customer requirement of at least 4 hours" recalls Peter Venema, an engineer at Fico Besi. "We had to find a solution to prevent dust contamination and do it quickly since we were at a production facility." Mr. Venema's team was able to drastically reduce downtime to once every 3.5 to 4 hours by using simulation. But they wanted to do even better. So he went back to the drawing board and finally reached a solution of 11 hours of continuous runtime. I think we can safely say that Mr. Venema's team not only met their customer's specifications but they exceeded their expectations big time! If you'd like additional details on how they achieved this fantastic result, please feel free to go to this page.
Oh and before I forget, if you're going to be at the 2009 Simulia Regional Users' Meetings, please stop by and say hello to our team!
Until next time,

Crossover /SUV Dodge Journey
God Bless little old ladies and Carpshooter!!!
It was a small town\Manning iowa and the patrolman was making his evening rounds..
As he was checking the Dodge car lot, he came upon two little old ladies sitting in a Dodge Journey SUV..
He stopped and asked them why they were sitting there in the car or were they trying to steal it?
'Heavens no, we bought it.'
'Then why don't you drive it away.'
We can't drive.'
Then why did you buy it?'
'We were told that if we bought aCrossover /SUV Dodge Journey car here
we'd get screwed ...so we're just waiting.
Is it here yet?????????I've learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Ratings for Dr. Richard T. Bouche
Dr. Bouche is great. The clinic organization and staff are pretty much awful.
Dr. Bouché was amazing, he counselled me well on what to expect and made his decisions with me and justfied everything. I felt like he was very interested in getting the best result for me and that everything else came second to that. He is a brilliant surgeon and a very learned specialist, definitely at the very top of his area of expertise. My surgery went perfectly and the follow up care given by himself and Dianne (his great assistant) was second to none. My operation and care was paid for with travel insurance as I was on holiday in Seattle when my fractures occurred. The operation was a "Open reduction and internal fixation of complex distal fractures and dislocation, 3rd and 4th metatarsals, right foot". I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Bouché to anyone.
As a Certified Athletic Trainer I found Dr. Bouche very knowledgeable and dedicated in making the right assessment, initiating the right treatments, and discussing the injury until you have an understanding of what the diagnosis is, treatments involved, and steps BEFORE needing surgery. I ended up having surgery for my chronic (since 91') plantar fascitis. So far so good (5 mo. post op). After seeing a variety of foot Drs. prior to Dr. Bouche (and his sidekick Diane) I have been very pleased with Dr. Bouche's professionalism, knowledge, dedication to your problem, and overall result. Dr. Bouche is a busy man because of his expertise, and may come off kind of rushed with you (hence appearing to have a weak bedside manner)...but if you ask the questions he'll slow down and answer you...otherwise he has patients to see awaiting his expertise. I appreciate his asst. Diane also. Both are DEDICATED to solving your physical issue, and getting you back in the saddle again.
I have a broken sesamoid bone in my foot. This is a somewhat unusual problem Dr. Boucher is perhaps North America's expert on it . He did an operation which fixed it, after four other doctors had failed to correctly diagnose it or offer any realistic treatment. In my view, Dr. Boucher is smart, conscientious and talented. His operation was a complete cure for me; with no functional deficit. I also think that he is personable. I have no problem whatsoever with his "bedside manner." Having said this, I don't care about a doctor's bedside manner anyway; what I want is results. Incidentally, I have had various other surgical procedures I'm related to my foot. So I have some experience with surgeons. Most of them were good to; but not all of them. I would give Dr. Boucher the highest possible rating.
I had Morton's Neuroma excisions. Rt foot Oct 84 (when at Virginia Mason-Seattle), very difficult job, I waited too long before seeking treatment; Lt foot Jun 07 (at current location), learned my lesson and caught it early, simpler surgery with rapid recovery) - both from sports wear&tear. Excellant results, both entered foot from topside. I returned to full sports activity: ski, hike, run, rollerblade etc. Unqualified recommendation for his excellance and understanding in his profession. He is an athelete himself who appreciates patients' desire to return to active life. Bedside manner? - I want his skill and dedication to his craft, not his "touchy feely - feel my pain". He fixed me - that's the greatest bedside manner of all. And he was otherwise OK as a person, as well. He's just busy and in demand.
I've been to over 14 foot doctors...he is the best. He really cares about his patients, don't let his gruff manner fool you...he's the best
Dr. Bouche was able to diagnose and surgically correct my extremely bad ankle problems when other surgeons wanted to perform alternate surgeries that in the end would not resolved the issues I was having.
Dr. Bouche has a very quick mind and during initial visit explains his findings at length. 2nd and 3rd visit he was accompanied by an intern. He is pleasant, but in the intern's presence, interacts with the intern instead of the patient. He did a good job of alleviating my pain, however, and does give out written info on home care. He was recommended to me by someone who had foot surgery performed by him and was very satisfied with the results. I definitely recommend him with the caveat that his bedside manner may be a bit abrupt, but not unpleasant.

That's how employers describe our graduates! Student-centered learning in degree programs that fully engage you in the classroom and the real world.
That's how employers describe our graduates! Student-centered learning in degree programs that fully engage you in the classroom and the real world.
Prospective Students
The Cognitive Science program will not accept new enrollments beyond the current semester. Students admitted before the completion of the Spring 2013 semester (May 15, 2013) will be able to complete the program as offered.
Artificial intelligence. Assistive technologies. Neurological testing. Web analytics. Cognitive science studies the often-complicated intersection between human and machine. There is an urgent need for smart, flexible practitioners in this growing discipline. Do you want to help shape the future?
Cognitive science is the study of how the human mind/brain thinks through processes such as perception, memory, and reasoning -- and examines the interface of these cognitive processes with technology. In its application, cognitive science is concerned with the development of smart devices that extend and enhance human capacities.
Given the multidimensional nature of the mind and intelligence, cognitive science combines a number of disciplines in its investigation, including:
The broadly based interdisciplinary approach will provide you with the type of flexible thinking and problem-solving abilities that are essential to serve the evolving technological needs of 21st century society. In addition, you'll develop skills in effective communication, creative thinking, hypothesis generation, experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, mathematical and computer modeling, and statistical analysis.
Preparation for a successful career begins in high school. Coursework in biology, computer science, linguistics, math, philosophy and psychology will give you the foundation you need to tackle undergraduate level coursework in this major.
This program will begin by introducing you to the interdisciplinary nature of cognitive science and its methods. You'll take foundational courses in each of the relevant disciplines, and move on to advanced coursework that gives you a unified understanding of the mind and information systems. The introductory cognitive science courses and the higher-level research courses will be team taught and focus on developing an interdisciplinary and integrated understanding of cognitive science.
Preliminary and advanced coursework leads to applied research experiences and internship opportunities that give you real-world industry experiences before you even graduate. The practicum provides an opportunity to apply course work to solve practical problems encountered in the field of cognitive science, and gives you a competitive edge over other graduates.
Occupational areas for graduates with a degree in cognitive science are projected to grow regionally (Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois) from a range of five to 51 percent and nationally from a range of seven percent to more than 21 percent for the years 2006–2016. UW-Stout's B.S. in Cognitive Science is the first undergraduate cognitive science program in Wisconsin.
As a graduate of the B.S. in Cognitive Science program, you'll apply your knowledge and skills to occupational areas such as:
In each of these areas, there is a need to understand how the human mind processes information with regards to information systems.

Internal Fraud: How to protect your company
You don't want to believe it. But the numbers just aren't adding up. You want to trust the people who work for you, but eventually you have to come to terms with the fact that someone in your company is stealing money. Not only does it hurt your business, but it's often a heartbreaking realization for you as a manager or owner.
It's not always easy to figure out who is the culprit, but there are steps you can take to detect and hopefully prevent fraud within your company.
Dual control and separation of duties
Understand who is in charge of what financial responsibilities and make sure there are no gaps. Create a system of checks and balances so that the same person who is running payables (bills, invoices, expense reports) isn't the same person who is reconciling the accounts (balancing the company checkbook, so to speak).
It's also a good idea for business owners to review financial statements on a weekly or monthly basis.
Automated fraud detection
Consider implementing Positive Pay‡. This automated fraud detection tool is offered by most banks. It's a relatively simple process. Your company issues checks every month and you send the bank a list of all those checks, including check numbers, amounts and payees. The bank makes sure the checks match up as each one clears. This eliminates any fraudulent or altered checks. Automated fraud detection is a great solution for companies as long as they already have dual controls in place.
Anonymous tip line
Businesses should also consider setting up an anonymous fraud tip line. Internal fraud is most often detected by a tip from another associate. As a business owner or manager, you can't know everything that's going on in your company. Giving your associates an anonymous way to notify you is a simple, effective way to detect internal fraud.
Other processes and procedures to consider:
- Reputable third-party audits
- Periodic reviews of policies, procedures and controls
- Diversity of associates' job functions, including rotation of job duties at times
- Periodic spot checks of your account payables/receivables, payroll, etc.
Don't think it will happen to you? Keep this in mind. 61 percent of financial professionals reported that their organization experienced attempted or actual payments fraud in 2012. And 26 percent of fraud is committed by an organization's own associates (Source: Association for Financial Professionals‡). Even though you want to assume the best from your associates, you should have systems in place to ensure that you don't become another internal fraud statistic.

As we approach the Christmas, Hannukah, and other holiday gift-giving season, I've compiled a list of a bunch of great gift ideas for photographers of all abilities.
Under $10 or so…
- Canon Lens Mug or Nikon Lens Mug depending on your brand of choice. Great conversation pieces
- Craft & Vision ebooks – at $5 each, these books are high quality and cover a wide range of photographic topics. Everything from landscapes to lighting to Lightroom is covered.
- Giottos Rocket Air Blaster – Better than using cleaner on a sensor or lens, a rocket blaster uses puffs of air to remove dust or other debris from a camera.
- Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth – Everyone could use a lens cloth.
- What the Duck: A W.T. Duck Collection – a fun collection of cartoons about photography.
Under $30
- iPhone 4 Lens Kit – a set of three lenses that attach to an Apple iPhone 4 to allow for some creative photography.
- Light It, Shoot It, Retouch It – I'm a huge fan of Scott Kelby's books and this one is a good set of material that covers the entire photographic process from setting up lighting, creating a portrait, and then retouching that image. Scott couples his knowledge with his humor to provide a lot of information on making a successful image.
- Lighting Digital Field Guide – another book suggestion, this one by my friend Brian McLernon who dives into an overview of all things lighting, and then provides details on how to make the most of natural light, small flashes (such as speedlights), and studio lighting.
- Joby Gorillapod SLR-Zoom – It seems the Gorillapod makes it onto gift lists each year, and it's for good reason: it's a great product. I love using my Gorillapod when I want some camera stability but don't feel like carrying my big tripod. By attaching the Gorillapod to a fence post, tree brance, or setting it on my car, I can get the shot.
Under $100
- Alcatraz Views, my new photo book documenting the history of Alcatraz. Yes, this is self-promotional but it's a nice collection of images about an interesting place. The book will be available within a couple weeks.
- Kata E-702 Large Digital SLR Camera Raincover – This will fit pretty much any DSLR and is a great item to have especially if one lives in a wet climate like where I usually shoot (Washington/Oregon). I have this item and I use it quite frequently this time of year…
- LEGO Digital Camera – It's a three megapixel digital camera made from Legos. Awesome, right? I have this one on my personal wish list.
- Lowepro Classified 160 AW – My current go-to camera bag for most shoots around town (basically anytime I'm not taking my big roller bag). Rather than give you a couple sentences here, read my review of the Lowepro Classified 160 AW.
- Topaz Adjust – one of a variety of great image editing options from Topaz Labs, the new version of Topaz Adjust can take just about any photo and give it a bunch of pop.
- Westcott 5-in-1 Reflector Disc – reflectors are a great tool for a photographer working with either natural light or that created by flash. This versatile reflector offers a variety of surfaces to best reflect and diffuse the light for any situation.
Go Big or Go Home
- Kelby Training – a year of great multimedia training is less than $200 and is appropriate for photographers of all skill levels.
- Lytro Camera – a new camera that allows a photographer to adjust the focal point **after** the image has been captured. A great experimental device.
- Want to *really* go all-out? Offer to pay for a workshop for a photographer. Regardless of their interest in a particular area of photography or their skill level, there are great workshops that would be a perfect fit.
Have a recommendation question? Contact me using one of the methods over to the right.
Some of the links above are affiliate links; if you click through and make a purchase I'll receive a bit of beer money.

SUSPS addresses U.S. overpopulation population, which the Sierra Club has avoided embracing.
SUSPS supports a return to traditional (1970-1996) Sierra Club population policy which includes both birth rates and overall mass immigration numbers in achieving U.S. population stabilization as quickly as possible. A comprehensive Sierra Club population policy is absolutely necessary and must acknowledge the true impact of increasing U.S. population on our environment, our quality of life, and depletion of the planet's resources.

By Andrea Brown Herald Writer
Every Sunday, Roxy Glick stands in Ballard's Bergen Place Park, holding a green and white sign.
It's her way of welcoming people to her neighborhood.
Show up at 2:30 p.m. and the curly-haired young woman in shorts and T-shirt will lead you around Ballard and tell you all about it.
The Ballard tour is offered by Seattle Free Walking Tours, a nonprofit started last year with an unusual twist: Pay what you want. No reservations needed.
The tours are led by locals who have creative control over the script.
"I came up with everything and did my research and route," said Glick, 23.
Her one-hour tour covers the history and highlights of the Scandinavian town that was annexed to Seattle more than 100 years ago but maintains its quirky-trendy-fun identity.
It's her turf. She knows who gives out free samples at the farmers market, where the ghost of Ballard lives and how to rent an eight-seater pub crawl bike.
The tour lets Glick share her hometown pride and make some pocket change. She has a degree from Berkeley in urban studies, works full time as a Web designer and plays viola in a folk music ensemble.
She has considered doing a tour in Fremont, where there's a deli named after her: Roxy's Diner, owned by her dad.
It takes a certain fortitude to be a tour guide. You have to charm groups of strangers. Some are going to love you right off the bat. Others take some doing.
"My approach has been, 'Welcome to my neighborhood. Let me show you around.'" Glick said. "I don't try to be performative. I like to keep it as if I'm talking to friends."
The Ballard tour begins in the park dedicated by King Olaf of Norway in 1975 and winds through downtown streets, railroad tracks and the waterfront.
One stop is a parking lot by an industrial area that was once the site of the largest shingle mill in the world. Now it's where the roller derby girls practice.
As Glick tells it, the town got its start when steamboat captain William Ballard was steaming around and liked the area and bought a bunch of land.
When the land development company he joined disbanded in 1887, he lost a coin toss and got 160 acres of this "seemingly worthless" land in Salmon Bay. He didn't give up; he convinced a lumber magnate friend to set up a mill in 1888.
"And guess what? In 1889, Seattle burned down," Glick said. "Ballard supplied most of the wood to rebuild Seattle."
Her cheat sheet is a ring of note cards tucked in a pocket of the sweatshirt tied around her waist. She only pulled it out one time during a recent tour, and that was to check her numbers on an important topic.
"You might have noticed there are a lot of bars," she said.
"In 1904, there were exactly 10 bars and 10 churches. In 1905 there were 16 and 16. In 1907, there were 22 and 22. Then in 2001, when they did the research, there were 17 of each. When I counted, there were about 30 and 30. Some are spiritual centers. It's not just churches anymore.
"There's this weird coincidence of Ballard partying hard and praying hard."
Or, as a guy on the tour put it: "Maybe it's that thing that you see God through your beer glass."
Andrea Brown; 425-339-3443; email@example.com.
Seattle Free Walking Tours
The payment-optional tour is supported by tips and donations.
"I usually tell them $15 as a suggested amount, but it's whatever they feel like paying," co-founder Jake Schlack said. "No one ever leaves upset."
Tours are rain or shine, but not in severe weather.
Go to www.seattlefreewalkingtours.org, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 360-201-5611.
Ballard: 2:30 p.m. Sundays only, one-hour tour. Meet at Bergen Place Park, at the corner of NW Market Street and Leary Avenue NW.
The Market Experience: 9:30 a.m. daily, one-hour tour includes samples, history, fish throwers and the Gum Wall. Meet at the corner of Western Avenue and Virginia Street.
Seattle 101: 11 a.m. daily, two-hour tour includes Pioneer Square, the Seattle waterfront and Pike Place Market. Meet at the corner of Western Avenue and Virginia Street.
Spotlight Seattle Center: 2 p.m. daily, one-hour tour includes area around (not inside) the Space Needle, the Pacific Science Center and other attractions. Meet at the Seattle Center Armory/Visitor Information, 305 Harrison St. on the second floor.

Dominique Mason, a high school senior, said he was about to walk out of the store with them without paying, but then he had a change of heart.
"I went back and put them in the Walmart seat just because it was wrong for stealing," Mason said.
Mason said he then walked out of the store and Ferguson, a store employee, followed him.

Brevard, N.C. - Millie Wharton opened up the game with a 9-2 run by herself against the visiting Lincoln Memorial Lady Railsplitters, but the Brevard College women's basketball team was unable to keep up the pace as they fell at home on Saturday afternoon, 75-64.
The Tornados (4-8, 0-4 SAC) drop only their second game at Boshamer Gymnasium this season, while the Lady Railsplitters (6-8, 1-3 SAC) win their first South Atlantic Conference matchup of the season.
Wharton opened the game up with a layup off in the game's first possession, then the Tornados half-court defense got on the Lady Railsplitters early, forcing six turnovers in the game's first four minutes. Meanwhile, Wharton continued to have the hot hand, scoring on a variety of layups, jumpers and foul shots to put the Tornados up 9-2 before Anna Schlobohm finally joined the Tornados' scoring ranks with a layup at the 16:19 mark.
Whitney Vannoy calmed down Lincoln Memorial with two three-pointers to bring the game back to 13:10 less than two minutes later.
Amanda Whitaker would go 4-4 from the free throw line and Wharton would drive in for another layup and put in the resulting free throw to give the Tornados a 25-14 lead with 7:26 left in the first half.
From there, Lincoln Memorial went 15-2 run spanning the next 5:28 as Timethia Bennett converted four free throw attempts, Dayshalee Salaman added five points and Amberly O'Dell hit back-to-back three's, before a pair of free throws by Brevard's Whitaker ended the run with 1:28 left in the first half with score at 29-29.
Holli Flippo and Schlobohm both connected from behind the arc in the remaining time as Brevard went into the locker room with a 35-33 lead.
Wharton eclipsed her season-high of 11 points, ending the first half with a game-high 12 points on 5-7 (71.4 percent) shooting from the field. Whitaker added eight points and four rebounds in the half.
O'Dell led the Lady Railsplitters with eight points, while Salaman and Vannoy had seven apiece.
Wharton and Whitaker started off the second half connecting again as Wharton drove in for two more layups and Whitaker added another pair of free throws as the Tornados took a 41-35 lead two minutes into the second half.
The turning point of the back-and-forth game came at the 15:49 mark in the second half as LMU's Brittany Craney drove in for a layup and was fouled by BC's Schlobohm. Craney made the layup and the resulting free throw, putting the Lady Railsplitters up by one, 42-41.
Lincoln Memorial would go on an 18-4 run as a variety of players scored before a jumper in the left corner by Flippo ended the run with 8:47 to play and the Lady Railsplitters up 60-47.
Brevard continued to battle back, keeping the game close, but Lincoln Memorial rode their lead out, taking the victory, 75-64.
Brevard, after shooting 12-27 (44.4 percent) from the field in the first half, managed to connect on only 8-27 (29.6 percent) in the second half as they dropped only their second game at home for the season. Lincoln Memorial shot a scorching 15-26 (57.7 percent) in the second half to shoot 54.3 percent (25-46) from the field for the game.
Wharton led all scorers with a season-high 17 points. Three other Tornados joined her in double figures, including Schlobohm (15), Whitaker (14) and Samantha Winn (10). Whitaker did most of her damage from the charity stripe, going 10-11 (90.9 percent), as well as pulling down eight rebounds for Brevard.
Lincoln Memorial was led by Salaman with 16 points, while O'Dell (14), Vannoy (11) and Andi Winney (10) joined her in double figures. Cena Nasiloski led the Lady Railsplitters with a game-high nine rebounds.
The Tornados continue a long home stand as they host Erskine College on Monday, January 12th, in Boshamer Gymnasium. Brevard dropped their first contest against the Flying Fleet in Due West S.C., 80-71, on November 22nd. Tip-off for the Brevard-Erskine game is slated for 6 p.m. Lincoln Memorial continues on the road as they head to Newberry, S.C. to take on SAC opponent Newberry College on Wednesday, January 14th, with a start time at 6 p.m.

Fit: True to size
I typically use these tights for my classes, auditions and every day professional office attire. They fit really well. I'm tall and have a long torso, so many tights do not come all the way up to the crotch...which makes dancing a little awkward and costumes fit weird. These are fairly durable and very comfortable. My only complaint is sometimes they can pill and depending on the batch, they can be delicate and run easily.
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
I always order my tights in large size, and when I went to put them on, it seemed to stretch so much that I got multiple runs on both legs. I had just bought them and haven't worn them once, and they are already falling apart. If you are going to buy these, I would suggest getting a larger size so this does not happen. However, the waistband does not bother me and they are quite comfortable to wear. I would just prefer to not go to class with runs in my tights.
Age: 22-29
I have been in love with these tights for years and they are the only ones I ever buy! They don't pinch my waist AT ALL, so they are incredibly comfortable and I don't get a muffin top with them; they are really soft as well. However, since they are cheaper tights they don't last very long. I can still keep a pair for a year or two, but they will start to pill (it may be different if you washed them with dance clothes only) and the color wears down.
I recommend these tights to all my friends!
Age: 19-21
My favorite pair of tights! The waistband has the perfect elasticity! With every other pair of tights, I'm always fidgeting with the waistband because it sits at a weird height or it's too tight and it's making me feel super disconnected to my core or making my upper body feel disconnected to my lower body. Not with these tights! I just put them on once and never have to adjust them again during class. The waistband is a soft fit that never feels tight and is always comfortable through the entire class. The tights themselves are super soft and comfortable too :)
These are my favorite ballet tights - very soft, and they have the best waistband I've tried so far. It will cut into you least compared to any other brand. I always buy the largest size in tights so they have a comfier waistband and fit my long-ish legs. I wear a medium in leotards, but I bought a LXL in these.
The size chart was accurate, it fit perfectly and did not slip. Take care when handling it cause it seems like it will run easily.
the tights are great the fit good and I love them they go great with my black leotard. I got color ballet pink and they look really good I would so recommend this to a friend.
Age: 15-18
My daughter's first words after opening the pkg pertained to how soft they were. Sadly, they didn't make it past her first practice before developing a run in them.
So, these are very comfortable, but there is not a lot of support. So, you will not get the annoying waistband indent or overflow issue, if you have that. These are less supportive than all my other tights, they support more like a legging if that makes sense. They did run on me, but not immediately. I purchased a second pair for a performance, mostly because of the waistband and the color. The tan color is very good. My tan Capezio tights have better support, but the colors are reddish, and the waistband is uber tight and binding, showing through a leotard.
Age: 40-49
I purchased 4 pairs of Natalie Dancewear tights from Discount Dance. My daughter wore a pair the first day and they already have a hole in them. It is not a run, but a small hole around the seam near the crotch, which will run even more with extensive use. It is the first time I purchased Natalie as they were a great price. My daughter loves the comfort and feel of the tights, but I am afraid these will not hold up with multiple uses. She has the second pair on today so we will see how they hold up. Would not recommend even at a good price.
these tights are for my daughter who is almost 5:11" tall and only 13 years old. They fit her perfectly. They are true to size. They last a good amount of time and are very soft. She loves them. I would recommend these. Give them a try. They are also a good value..
My daughter loves Natalie's tights because they have a comfortable waistline and have the right elasticity for her. Many other tights seem restricting and undercomfortable to the point where she can't wait to get them off and this affects her dancing as she is thinking about being uncomfortable instead of just focusing on dance. These tights also are durable - my daughter dances 18 - 20 hours a week and have had the same tights for months and with the price of these tights along with the comfort for her, it's a no brainer. I would highly recommend.
Except for the convertible opening, I was fully pleased with these tights. I think the hole is cut small, and there is no stretchability to cause the fabric to have much give. I hope that using them will stretch them without causing the edges to tear. I ordered two pair, and the review is consistent, therefore, it is the design, I think, instead of a random imperfection.
I ordered the pink hoping it wouldn't be so bright but the pink is more of a tan color. Next time I'll order the ballet pink.
Age: 30-39
I absolutely LOVE these tights! I ordered a couple pairs over a year ago, and they do not have any holes or runs to this day. (Just a side note: I dance 9-10 hours a week, so these tights have seen many, many, many hours of dancing!) This is a miracle, considering every other pair of tights I have ever purchased always got a run on the first day that I wore them. Plus, these tights are extremely comfortable. I wear them for 3-4 hours at a time, and they never bother me or make me feel uncomfortable. I will definitely be purchasing these tights for the rest of my dancing years!
I'm 5'5" 120 lbs and got the M/L size. It is very soft and a nice fit on the waist band. It doesn't pinch in too much.
So, I followed the general advice in the reviews and ordered on the large side for my kids. The tights are soft, but once the girls started wearing them they started stretching out of shape. They're still OK for class, but if buying for a recital, I'd keep them in the package until you need them. Very good for the price overall, but not as nice as higher priced tights.
I bought the tights because they were on sale. I was really surprised by the comfort of the tight. Will by again in the near future. The tights weren't too tight like some other tights I have bought in the past .
We like these convertible tights but we found that they ran small. My 5'4" 100 lbs. daughter had to get an adult large because the crotch was way too low for her to pull up the tights.
The product came quickly, like the next day. I've had it for around a week and am pleased with it so far.
I bought these because I needed tights that would allow my dance instructors to see the line of my leg but would also keep me covered.
I an 5'5" and around 160 lbs (I am pretty curvy for a dancer). I ordered a size large in black and they mold to my leg extremely well but still allow me to move. I am amazed at how much give they have whenever I put them on! I haven't washed them yet but I hope they hold up. They are also nice and opaque if that's a concern for you. A nice plus is that they're super warm! I think they wear well under sweats and jeans and stuff.
I do wanna say that the elastic band is very comfortable but also pretty noticeable under a leotard. It gives a nice hourglass shape but you can see where the band sinks into your skin.
The colour is a bit different from Capezio's but it makes no difference for me... The elastic on the hips makes it comfortable and able to wear over the leotard... usually i get home and want to get rid of my ballet clothes, but when I used it I forgot what I was wearing and spent hours after my class with it. I got 3 of them.
These tights are perfect for everyday class. They wash well and are comfortable. The price is right, too!
I loved these tights, the fact that they are so confortable makes me want to buy them in every color. I would totally reccomend and buy these tights.
Yes, they get runs unless you are really careful. But, they are very comfortable and look nice for pink tights. I really like the color. Pink tights can be challenging to wear, but the color of these tights is flattering and they look good on on different body types. I would recommend these tights if you find pink tights challenging to wear - I was a strictly "black tights" gal for a long time until I found these tights.
I bought two pairs of these tights (one pink, one tan). I have pretty long legs for my 5'5"/99 pound stature, and I got the small because the size chart seemed to be good for my weight. The inseam, however, is really short for me, so I have the material stretches a lot for me. This makes the color be very white-ish instead of pink and makes it susceptible to runs. It hasn't run yet, but I'm nervous that it is bound to happen very soon. The waistband is very nice and doesn't squeeze or cause bulges or spill over, which is nice. Overall, they are good tights as long as you focus more on your height than your weight on the size chart, and order up if you aren't sure.
I'm taking more ballet classes soon and I needed some more tights for my dance wardrobe. Although when I first saw the waistband, I thought it was going to be uncomfortable. But once I got it on, I actually liked the way it fit and the waistband is tolerable. The only problem I have is that when converting to footless, it's a little difficult to shift the hole off your foot without being afraid of ruining the tights.
Overall, I love these tights and will be using them until they start to run. I am 129 lb. and 5'8", mostly legs then torso, I ordered a large and it fits perfectly.
I only purchase these tights for my granddaughter.
I ordered for my daughter and she said they are comfortable and fit well. I ordered the womens' large because she's about 5'6" & weighs about 130 lbs. They fit her will & are the perfect pink for ballet classes.. I love that the shipping wasn't outrageous also!
Thanks so much!
The color of these tights by Natalie are really beautiful! They're a true "ballet" pink in that they aren't too Pepto Bismol or bubblegum pink, and they're not that strange orangey peach color that people like to call salmon. The color is a lovely subdued peachy pink that any fair to tan skintone can wear without looking odd or sick. These tights are also very comfortable, and quite soft!
I would say I love these tights, but they are simply not durable. The toe area runs easily, and after only a few uses I have holes in the gusset/crotch area. I've never had holes in that area from any other brand of tights before! Of course, for the low price, it doesn't seem like such a big deal. I can easily replace them. If durability isn't something you care about, and comfort and color are your priority, then these are great. However, I need my tights to last longer than a few wearings.
For the price, this product was great. I like the fact that the waistband much more comfortable than capezio's. The fabric is also much softer without compromising durability. I prefer the form fitting feel of the capezio tights, but for the price I'm not complaining. I'm 5'4 and 110lbs and the M fit well.
I bought two pair of tights for my daughters. They dance 5-6 hours a week. The tights lasted most of the way through a 4 month semester before getting runs. No pilling after many washes and no special care. The waist band didn't get stretched out like other tights they've worn in the past. I've bought more expensive Capezio tights but they get runs just as quickly and the waist bands got stretched out after a few months wear. These are really good tight s for the money.
I can't write how much I love these tights. I have a few other brands, but this is my favorite. The waistband is elastic, but not hard elastic like Capezio tights- and the waistband is very comfortable. I have returned to dance after many years, and am 20 lbs heavier than when I was dancing before- this tight fits well. I ordered one size up, and they are very comfortable. The tight feels durable, so far no runs after a couple of months of use 2 days a week. And the color of the Ballet Pink is perfect. The tight is not very thick but not shear either, and make my legs look nice even with my extra weight. And the price is great- a good bargain for the quality, I recommend these!
I absolutely LOVE these tights! They are comfortable, pretty durable, I love the colors and the best part for me is the elastic waistband, because it stays in place, is comfortable, doesn't cut in, and best of all it doesn't roll like other tights with supposed "comfort waistbands". I have several pairs in light-suntan, caramel, black, and white(in both convertible and footed) for all different types of performances from modern/contemporary to musical theater and I love them all. Easily my favorite brand of tights
I actually ordered these tights a while ago, and I never got around to reviewing them until now. Let me tell you- these tights are AMAZING. They are super soft, I was so surprised when I first got them. I ordered like, 3 more afterwards. They're actually surprisingly durable and again- super soft! They foot hole on the bottom is non-intrusive and isn't sewn with a noticeable edge like some others are.
I got these because of the cheap price and when they first arrived I wasn't used to how soft these were. I usually wear Capezio which are a bit more compressing and stiff but I ended up liking the soft/looseness of these. They fit pretty well and I like that the waistband didn't cut into me like the Capezio's. The only issue I have with these is that the crotch area comes out of either side of my leo sometimes which looks a little awkward. I've had these for almost a year now and I have runs all down the back of them but I don't know if I can complain because again, these are so cheap and it has been around a year. I might get these again but just as some backup tights.
I JUST got these tights today and I LOVE them! SO cheap and at $7 you can not pass down that offer!
I ordered a size medium, following the sizing chart and that sizing chart was spot on! not too tight, so you can't breathe and not to loose. Fit perfectly!!!
and the holes on the bottom made them even more perfect and a lot easier to give your feet a break in them and just take them out (to bandage them?)
or to give the tights a break from getting dirty!
over all I would SO reccommend this to a friend!
Wear it for one performance? Great! It's one my softest and most comfortable tights.
Wear it repeatedly for class? Not so much. It developed runs after 1 or 2 classes, and by the end of the week, the crotch had like 3 holes.
These weren't bad tights, they get the job done, but you do get what you pay for. These tights seem to not stretch has much as my bloch tights do, and the bloch tights are a bit more opaque. They are easier to move around in and are softer and longer. However, these are not bad for the price, they rip easy, but tights will be tights.
These tights run pretty true to size. We are buying them in threes now with total confidence in their quality, size and longevity. They are a great product for the price and don't feel we have lost anything in quality purchasing these over the $18+ pairs sold in the local dance stores. We put them in a protective bag when washing and air dry and they last as long as any others until they get icky looking from wearing them for so long, typical black feet on the bottom that happens to any tight. At this price we tend to toss them more frequently and keep fresh pairs. There have been no snag problems or otherwise described by other dancers.
Fit: Runs small
I wasn't expecting much when I bought these, but they're actually really nice for the price. Just be careful when you put them on and if you're in between sizes, order up. Because they're so cheap, I bought three, and alternating between them really helps. The hole is a little annoying because it can slide up my heel and makes pointing on pointe shoes a bit of a pain, but like people have been saying, it's a really good tight for the price.
I received these tights for performances and comps. The pink matched well with my ballet shoes and were easy to get on and off for quick changes. They are also very opaque. I had a quick change were I had a musical theater piece that required tan tights and I had a dance right before that. My entrance was the last in the MT piece, thankfully. I wore these tights over the tan tights, for my ballet duet. On the video there is no tan tights showing through and I was glad I could change as quickly as I did in twenty seconds. My best friend and my ballet teacher were there to help. These tights to rip easily when under pressure. I have gone through about four pairs of these in the last two months ( I dance pure ballet, no more MT, for about 15 hours a week in these tights.)
I love these tights. I think I have two pairs I use for class along with another brand that I rotate through. It took me a while before I got my first run but it was a simple fix with a light pink nail or clear nail polish.
They're warm, comfortable, and cheap to beat up, snag, make hole-y, the color is fine as far as ballet pink is concerned. The convertible hole is a little stiff and I've had to stretch them out to fit, and I think this is where a lot of runs begin. I also have issue with it being so stretched out that it ends up slipping beyond the sole of my foot and goes right over my heel. I have to correct it in the middle of class sometimes. Despite these flaws, they're manageable and comfortable and do the job.
I bought more for recital time with the intention of wearing it only for recital and they lasted through photos, dress rehearsal, and the recital. No runs or snags, so I set them aside for recital use again.
These tights are super-comfy, BUT.......they only last about one wearing. I bought 6 pairs and all but 1 developed a run within 10 minutes of wearing! I would've been better off paying a higher price for tights that lasted a bit longer.
Tights also run a bit short. I do not have exceptionally long legs, but I really had to stretch these to fully cover my legs.
In essence, you get what you pay for. These are cheaply made tights that don't last
I have two pairs of these tights one in ballet pink and one in caramel. I'm ordering more right now! They are really nice. If you are 5" or over get an XL. They stretch and shape so just trust me. if you don't trust me then get a large. But anything under that they won't be as comfortable.
I have washed these tights several times in the regular warm wash and even dried them, and they come out just fine! The wider stretchy hole on the bottom of the foot makes them durable and comfortable. Some of my other tights just have reinforced stitching around the hole, and it cuts in to your foot if it gets in the wrong place, and I have trouble getting them on and off over my foot with my toe pads. These tights are quite easy to get over the toe pads and overall fit quite nicely.
The only negative is that they come up very high in the waistline, but so far, that can be said about all the brands of tights I've tried.
Overall, highly recommended.
Having danced for twelve years, I have been through my share of tights. While needing new tights and not being able to order the most expensive (for the comfort), I purchased these Natalie tights. They are now my favorite pair that I have told all my fellow dancers about as well as purchase five more pairs since. They are my favorite class tights and will be my choice for any shows I participate in. Love love love them- you'll regret just buying one at this cost!
I bought four pairs of these tights due to the low price and I have not been let down. I usually buy capezio transitional tights but these stretch more than those. I normally wear a capezio s/m but I went for a medium and they fit at fit and are a little bit small after washing. No runs in any of my pairs and i have been wearing them for months. But they do get little imperfections easily. Overall GREAT buy.
I have purchased several pairs of these tights in different sizes over the last couple of years, and my girls actually wear them out before they ruin them! Everything else snagged and ran. They wash up nicely, don't ruin easily, and aren't too expensive. Winners!
Beiger, pinker, khaki-er, ruddier, more nude, more tan, etc.? (The T5500 "pink" is shown on a model in the listing for that item, but there's no model photo for this Natalie tight, so I'm just trying to get a sense of how they compare.) Thanks!
I would say that the pink Natalie tights, in comparison to the Theatricals would be more of a pale, nude pink. They are much less salmon colored and more of a natural, soft pink.- DDS Customer Service (11/09/2015)

Was this Q & A helpful to you? YES (
I would suggest the medium for the length alone. Please note, sizing information cannot be guaranteed.- DDS Customer Service (11/19/2014)
I recommend a medium unless your inseam is short or you are scant in the gluteus maximus. - Msa14 (01/21/2015)
I ordered the caramel and while i love the fit and feel they were too light, Is the light suntan darker or is it just have a more red hue like other suntan tights?
The light suntan in slightly darker and does not have a drastically more red hue.- DDS Customer Service (06/25/2013)
Ballet pink is the more widely accepted typical color. Pink is more of a khaki.- DDS Customer Service (04/19/2013)
My granddaughter is at the pre-professional level at a ballet company and always uses ballet pink tights. - Chica (03/28/2014)
Prefer the regular "pink" v. the "ballet pink" - have not tried the ballet pink but it looks very bright. The pink of this particular tight is more subtle and flattering. I will only wear this particular shade. Please note, that I have darker toned skin, olive - pink tights are challenging to wear. This is one of the few "pinks" that looks good with my skin color. Also, despite being a smaller frame, I am fairly 'muscular looking' so a streamlined look is even more important and challenging to find. This tight is great. Not the most durable, but worth it considering my body type and needs. - Molsmama (08/25/2014)
The Pink in this tight is more of a flesh tone pink, than a true pink.- DDS Customer Service (10/26/2012)
The pink is definitely not too pink, in my opinion at least. - Heidiannn (11/11/2012)
The pink will work well for you. It is really a nude (make sure you order pink--NOT ballet pink which is more pepto colored.) - Java (02/05/2013)
