Through dancing, they trip the fantastic - lighter
Lania Dowers instructs Dan Hallesy at Arthur Murray Studios in Orlando, Florida, November 10, 2006. (Julie Fletcher/Orlando Sentinel/MCT) At the lowest point in his life, Dan Hallesy turned to dancing. His wife had died of cancer, and in the year afterward, Hallesy lay around the house, grieving. His weight ballooned to 289, his blood pressure and cholesterol levels were terrible, and his feet and ankles hurt so badly that he had to roll out of bed and pull himself up with a chair. Then one day, while pumping gas near his house, Hallesy noticed a sign for Arthur Murray Dance Studio - and signed up for classes. In 18 months, Hallesy has lost 60 pounds, whittled his waistline from 52 inches to 43, and dropped his seven daily medications to three.

'Tram mix-up nearly spoilt our Christmas'
The mix up happened after Andrea had tried to pay for a ticket at Eccles station with a £20 note and the machine refused to take it. Andrea said: “I needed to travel and got on to the tram. I was then asked for my ticket by an inspector. I explained what had happened and he asked me to get off the tram and gave me change for my £20 note, so I was able to buy a ticket. I then continued on my journey on the same tram." But after the incident in January Andrea received a letter from Metrolink demanding payment of a £15 penalty for boarding the tram at the start of her journey without a ticket - plus the £3.10 fare. She phoned Metrolink who accepted her explanation about the £20 note and said all she had to do was pay the £3.10p. She said: “I called again and said I did not understand why I had to pay the £3.10p as I had got off the tram and bought a ticket and got back on the same tram.
