Majorette troupe need practice hall after Laindon community centre blaze
2:00pm Friday 21st February 2014 in Echo News By Chloe Chapman
AN award-winning majorette troop has been left with nowhere to train just days before a major competition.
The Laindon Suzettes have been able to return to the Bluehouse Farm Community Centre in Laindon Link, after the neighbouring hall was destroyed in a suspected arson attack.
Firefighters were able to save the building from burning to the ground on Sunday, but it has been out of bounds while safety checks were carried out.
The majorettes, who formed more than 30 years ago, are due to take part in a regional competition in Ipswich this Sunday and national finals in six weeks.
Troupe leader Margaret Fulker said: "It might be weeks before we can get back in.
"I stood there for three hours watching the fire, it just broke my heart. I thought we were finished and everything was gone.
"The support we have had has been absolutely fantastic. We are part of the UK Federation of Majorettes and its motto is to help one another."
James Hornsby School in Leinster Road, Laindon, has offered to let the troupe train in its hall on Friday, but it has nowhere to go next week.
The majorettes also thought they were not going to be able to compete with their own equipment until council and fire service safety officers went into the wreckage yesterday and retrieved them from a cupboard.
The group was overwhelmed with the support from groups around the country which offered to lend them equipment ahead of the competition.
Trainer Emma Carrington, 29, who became a majorette when she was five years old, said: "All our stuff could have been ruined by the water used to put out the fire, smoke damaged or could have melted. We just didn't know because we couldn't get in there.
"The parents and the girls have all been fantastic though, we are very lucky really."
Anyone who can help the Laindon Suzettes should call Mrs Fulker on 01268 415480.
MOST groups which rely on Bluehouse Farm Community Centre have been able to find a temporary base in the wake of the fire.
Basildon Council, which owns the building, has helped secure alternative premises across the borough for the Academy of Self Defence Karate Group, Rainbows, Guides and Centre Stage Dance Group.
Cherubim and Seraphim Faith Group, which had to be evacuated from its Sunday service after the roof caught fire, has also found a new base.
However, Busy Bees pre-school, which runs morning and afternoon sessions five days a week, is still struggling to find somewhere suitable.
Councillor Terri Sargent, responsible for community, said: "We have made it our priority to find alternative premises for the groups that used it. Most of the groups have been found premises, but we are still looking for somewhere suitable for Busy Bees pre-school.
"We understand how valued this facility is to the community and are doing all we can to minimise disruption.
"It is too early to say how much it will cost and how long it will take to rebuild the centre, as the damage will need to be assessed.
"The council has carried out an initial inspection of the building and made it safe.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank the fire service and police for their swift response to the fire."

Hang on a minute, it said the centre was DESTROYED, while the Laindon Suzettes HAVE been able to return, yet looking for somewhere else to train? Please make up your mind Echo.

Backpacker Magazine – December 2007
Backpacker's Ultimate Fix-It Guide
Ripped mosquito netting
For holes or tears smaller than 2 to 3 inches in diameter, an adhesive mesh patch (see "Products") provides a quick fix. Or put a swatch of adhesive nylon repair tape over the gash for a less aesthetic but equally quick, permanent repair. For larger rips up to 12 inches long, Backpacker field editors prefer to sew the mesh back together using nylon thread and apply adhesive tape reinforcements as needed. If the mesh shredded completely or separated at the seams, salvage what you can and return the tent to the manufacturer or a repair shop (see "Resources").
Torn tent fabric (Online Bonus)
For rips 2 inches or smaller in the rainfly or canopy, there's no need to sew. In fact, sewing may encourage leaks and stress-related tears. Choose from a variety of adhesive repair products or the "liquid stitcher" Seam Grip. Plug tiny holes–caused by embers from a campfire–with a dab of Seam Grip. Allow at least 8 hours for the glue to dry before packing the tent or laying inside it.

Small holes "If you want to do your own repair, an adhesive tape or patch is the best and by far the easiest option," says Julie Parker, manager of Rainy Pass Repair. You can repair a small gash in a tent quickly and permanently with ripstop repair tape like Kenyon's adhesive Nylon Repair Tape, or with a number of pre-cut peel-and-stick patches.
Plug tiny holes–caused by embers from a campfire–with a dab of Seam Grip. Allow at least 8 hours for the glue to dry before packing or entering the tent. Note: this same technique will work for packs, sleeping bag shells, and other non-siliconized fabrics.
Torn tent fabric
Big holes Holes and tears more than several inches wide are too large for repair tape or pre-cut patches. Instead, create a waterproof polyurethane patch with Seam Grip.
Waterproofing (Online Bonus)
Seal the seams Most shelters come with factory-taped seams on the rainfly and floor, so manually sealing is required if:
Waterproofing (Online Bonus)
Seal the seams To seal seams using Seam Grip or SilNet, set up the tent outside and clean all seams with a damp sponge. Once seams are dry, apply the sealer in a line about the width of a pencil eraser using an irrigation syringe (available in the first-aid aisle at drug stores). For single-wall shelters, apply the sealer to the exterior seams, where the flatter fabric allows for easier waterproofing.
Replace the tape Seam tape on well-used tents will eventually crack and peel off. Here are a few fixes recommended by McNett Marketing Manager and long-time backpacker George Farkas:
Fact or Myth? (Online Bonus)
Q: Sealing exterior seams on factory-taped a rainfly adds extra protection against pounding rain.
A: Myth! This only adds weight–as in ounces and ounces of Seam Grip. "If the seams are taped, they're totally waterproof," promises MSR's Terry Breaux.

DO NOT listen to the recommendation from John regarding putting the footprint INSIDE the tent. His reasoning, that a regular footprint will create a bathtub, makes no sense, and if you put the FP inside, then puncture a hole in the actual tent, water will still seep inside causing the very problem he discusses (bathtub). If you are going to take one, listen to everyone else and use it as intended, outside and beneath the tent. I'm like most others, depending on the situation I may or may not take one.
For a long trip where weight is an issue I leave it, but for shorter hikes I prefer to have it. When there are two or more in our party we split up the gear (like fire starters, water purification and food stores) and one takes the footprint while the other packs the tent, that way if there's a separation the second person can make a quick shelter if need be. It's also great on protracted afternoon showers to create a quick retreat where we can fix lunch and enjoy the surroundings.
the idea of using a tent footprint under your tent is asking to make your tent into bath tub. water driving by a little wind or where part of the footprint is exposed causes water to fill the space between the the footprint and the bottom of the tent. no tent bottom is of totally water proof for long.(micro holes caused by sand) A better and cheaper idea is to cut a piece of plastic to fit the inside of the tent. This layer can be replaced as needed. so you will a thicker replaceable water proof layer between you and the ground
You do not need the grommets in your plastic sheet footprint to help protect the bottom fabric from wearing out sooner, just cut it so it matches the bottom. If you want to use the above idea keep in mind that most footprints use nylon straps so the only the strap goes to the pole. This helps keep it from collecting water. If you want to use the above idea with plastic sheet you should consider trimming only a thin width of plastic out to the pole and reinforcing this area with either clear packing tape or duct tape before installing the grommet.
I am disappointed at the print option for these wonderful tips. There's way too much white space and pointless icons (I get that you have to sell ads to stay in business) so the print-outs are about twice as long as needed--wasting the trees I want to see when I hike. Your online print options need to be reconsidered and streamlined.
Thanks for all the great tips on how to care for outdoor adventure products. Getting all of the gear can be a huge investment and it is a shame that people do not care for it well enough and end up buying new equipment every year. I would rather invest in lasting equipment than spend more, in the end, repurchasing cheaper products.
As an added step to the hydration bladder hanging tip, instead of wrapping the rough edges with duct tape, use a open flame to melt the rough edges to create a smooth tip.
I've found that washing my sack, sleeping bags, mats etc by hand with no or light detergent like organic soaps with out caustic chemicals then I hang dry my items until bone dry then put away. Sometimes with dryer sheets or ceder blocks sandwiched in. But this is not required for neutral smelling gear.
@ Joe Jul 20, 2010 MiraZym helps really well against mold/mildew on sleeping bags/tents/pads
Anyone know how to get rid of mold/mildew on sleeping bags/tents/pads?? I had some mold start growing in my basement, and of course it was where my equipment was. Any ideas on cleaning my equipment without destroying my equipment? Thanks!
When cleaning a hydration system, pull out the hose from the balader, with a pair of pailers, so you can clean the whole hose,
Contemporary fabric softeners tend to be based on quaternary ammonium salts with one or two long alkyl chains, a typical compound being dipalmitoylethyl hydroxyethylmonium methosulfate.[2] Other cationic compounds can be derived from imidazolium, substituted amine salts, or quaternary alkoxy ammonium salts. One of the most common compounds of the early formulations was dihydrogenated tallow dimethyl ammonium chloride (DHTDMAC). I looked it up. see Wikipedia cut n paste. no animal fat here.
Under "Pole problems (Online Bonus" it should read "splint the broken pole," not "split the broken pole."
no, eric's right - the first posting says mentions washing in a top-loading washer. the second posting specifically says to never do this. (the second is the right one; never wash a sleeping bag in a top-loading washer)
A point about dryer sheets, the main ingredient in them is rendered animal fat (look it up people) so you may smell pretty good to a bear. In areas with uber predators, keep smell to a minimum, in camp and on your person.
Uhm, not really Eric. It just says to wash them.. sparingly. And then it tells you how. :B
And no, Anon, I don't think dryer sheets would attract bears. They smell more chemically than delicious or even edible.
Anyway, this article is great! Wow, so many tips. I suppose it's okay to store bags and pads rolled/stuffed if they're clean and dry and in a dry indoor closet, right? Plus my Thermorest doesn't have foam.

Mac High has been holding graduations outdoors (weather permitting) since at least '65 (mine). The '75 graduation was also held @ Linfield.
The Linfield event was the site of possibly the first attempt at streaking the graduation -- two seniors, wearing only boots and helmets, attempted to ride motorcycles between the the seated graduates, but the lead bike failed to negotiate the broad jump lane and flipped over. The trailing bike immediately turned around and 'got out of Dodge'. The crashed rider finally started his bike after many, many attempts. He was last seen laying the bike down near the baseball field and running down S. Davis. Stupid human tricks -- comedy in it's purest form.
It's truly a shame that the age of video in every hand wasn't available, because any video of this would have set records on You Tube.
Thanks for providing a more complete history of outdoor generations. I know there's been a few inside here and there -- I remember photographing one in the '80s so photographer Tom Ballard could relax and watch one of his kids graduate. It was hot, stuffy and super-crowded, even back then.
If you go to numerous graduations around Yamhill County, as reporter Paul Daquilante and I do, you'll know that almost all are held outside these days. Amity continued holding theirs in the gym until quite recently, but now it's held in the fresh air as well.
My own high school graduation was June 4, 1978, in the Reedsport High School gym -- 100 Braves heading out to conquer the world. Linfield was the first place I experienced an outdoor graduation.
The indoctrination of our schools, already happend. Either told lies, or half the story, or even just plain wrong answers. purposely to dumb us down...
Any reason they put extra fluoride in the water system at the school?

There was no question that the usually mild-mannered, composed Leslie Frazier was livid following his team's 35-32 loss to the Broncos, more so than he ever has appeared in his short time as the head coach of the Vikings. And his ire was focused on the defensive backfield, which allowed Broncos QB Tim Tebow — not a noted thrower — to pick apart the Vikings in the second half with a litany of blown coverages and missed assignments.
The PFW Spin
Now is the time to start whacking players who don't fit the Vikings' system for next season. They are wasting time keeping players who are mere stop-gap solutions. The Vikings are 2-10, and there is no reason to use journeyman veterans in key spots when younger, cheaper options must be identified. The players the Vikings were using couldn't execute basic coverages when the Vikings were going for the victory.
"We've got to identify somebody who can come back there and make a play for us when the ball's in the air," Frazier said.
Cover-2 is the Vikings' most common scheme and it's one of the most frequently used defenses in the NFL. And yet the Vikings apparently forgot how to execute it.
"We were just playing a basic coverage with a lead," Frazier said. "To not be able to execute that is a bad thing, because it means you can't play any coverage. …
"The fact that we've got new guys and we're rotating guys because we've had some injuries — that happens. But when you're out there as a professional athlete, you have to find a way to do your job, and we did not find a way to do our job."
Frazier hinted that people might be cut for their sins. We fully endorse this tactic. There's no question how tricky it is to find alternatives for Antoine Winfield, Chris Cook, Husain Abdullah, Asher Allen and Tyrell Johnson, all of whom are hurt and out of the lineup.
But this is the point where tough decisions have to be made. Anyone who watched Cedric Griffin Sunday (or the rest of the season, for that matter) has to know that he no longer can move with two surgically repaired knees. Benny Sapp is a Frazier favorite, but there is a reason the Chiefs had no use for him and the Dolphins cut him despite their early-season secondary issues. Jamarca Sanford has been given crack after crack to make it as a starting defensive back, but he can't seem to find a place. He and Brandon Burton, who has nickel potential at best, are destined for special-teams work in the future.
Make some tough cuts now. Let promising players such as Mistral Raymond get as much time as possible and learn to lead a group the tough way: through adversity. Frazier is a defensive coach with a heavy background in the secondary. He knows this is his bread and butter, as does the team, so he has to take control of this unit and make some tough decisions before the season ends.

This weekend's time change not only meant an extra hour of sleep, but firefighters are hoping Hoosiers also took advantage of the opportunity to change batteries in their smoke detectors. Following that advice saved one family from a small fire that could have had much larger consequences.
"We heard the beep from the smoke detector, and my wife Chea said, 'What is that?'" said Rob Carmack.
It was the beep that saved the Carmack family's life.
"This is the smoke detector we put in years ago right by our laundry room. That's the one that went off. Our laundry room is right here," said Carmack.
Right where their clothes dryer caught fire in the middle of the night on Saturday while they were sound asleep upstairs.
"The flames lapped up here, they were coming out of the back," said Carmack.
Carmack believes the fire started small in the lint trap, but grew fast. To make matters worse, the laundry room is right under the staircase that leads to their bedroom.
"Our only means of escape would have been up in flames. We would have had to jump out of our second story window," said Carmack.
But that early warning gave them just enough time to call 911 and take some control of the situation.
"I just went push, push and that was it," said Chea Carmack, holding a fire extinguisher.
"And the dryer; we got it out this far," said Chea.
"It only takes a minute or so, and we can go from a smoldering fire to a rip-roaring fire that can sweep through a home really quick and people not have a chance to escape," said Capt. Mike Pruitt, Wayne Township Fire Department.
That's why firefighters preach smoke detectors save lives - provided they have working batteries.
"We're literally shocked by how many people that have smoke detectors in their house but don't have batteries in them," said Capt. Pruitt.
It's the reason firefighters say to use the time change twice a year as a reminder to change your batteries.
"They're so cheap - they're so easy to install. Change the battery twice a year. It's the easiest and best thing you could do for your family's safety," said Carmack.
His family is living proof of that.
Rob and Chea Carmack say when they built the house, they only installed one smoke detector. Since then, they've added several more in key spots including that one right outside the laundry room. They believe that is the one that saved their lives.

Making the NCAA tournament is a lifelong dream for North Carolina Central University Coach LeVelle Moton, but the reality that his team is actually going to the big dance still hasn't set in.
"It's 100 miles per hour, but needless to say I'm exhausted," he said. "But it is a good exhausted."
The Eagles just won their first conference championship since joining Division I in 2011, beating Morgan State on Saturday 71-62 for the MEAC title.
"It was really emotional for me, because when you're born into poverty and labeled an outcast, and you're placed in the box," he said, "all you have is your dreams."
They are dreams Moton wasn't sure would come true. He grew up in a fatherless home in the Raleigh projects and said the odds were stacked against him.
But he credits a lot of family support and prayers for the life he has now.
"I saw a vision beyond my circumstances, and I am extremely grateful for that," he said. "Especially when it comes to life through the course of a championship."
"It's really about believing in who you are," Moton said. "You really have to be your own best friend because so many people have dreams. The dream is free; it's the journey that's expensive."
It's a journey he is taking with his team to the NCAA tournament.
"We're trying to go play a really good Iowa State team and try to play the best we can," Moton said. "It's going to be business as usual."
N.C. Central plays Iowa State on Friday.

Welcome to the Department of Anatomy
and Pathology and
at the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. Our mission is to strive
for excellence in teaching, research and patient care. Through our sections of
Pathology and Anatomy, the Department bridges basic and clinical knowledge in
the training of medical students and provides sophisticated diagnostic and
consultative services for patient care.
The Department of Anatomy and Pathology is a dynamic
academic department with educational, scientific and clinical excellence.
Medical Education
The Anatomy section introduces first year medical students to the normal
structure of the human body. Through the study of Gross Anatomy, students learn
the structural relationships of the organs of the body. Microscopic Anatomy
provides an understanding of the interactions of the cells that comprise each of
the tissues and organs. Neuroanatomy, part of an interdisciplinary Neuroscience
course, teaches the anatomical pathways of the nervous system. Our faculty also
participates in the Medical Cell Biology course that provides the molecular
foundation for cellular function.
The Pathology section provides comprehensive instruction to
second year medical students in the mechanisms of disease. Students gain a
thorough understanding of the diseases of each organ system that will be the
foundation of their clinical practice. We are proud that the medical students
consistently recognize both sections for excellence in teaching.
Research and Graduate Education
Many of our faculty have active research programs and participate in the
education of graduate students through the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program.
The research areas include the evaluation and treatment of heavy metal toxicity,
study of sensory mechanism and their application to robotics, cancer biology and
vertebrate feeding mechanisms and Acetaminophen and other NSAID agents in the
treatment of iron overloaded gerbils, and their effects on age associated
changes in Rats.
Our clinical laboratory continues to meet the enormous challenges of
contemporary medicine. The laboratory staff has focused on quality service to
patients and clinicians in the inpatient and outpatient setting at Veteran's
memorial, St. Mary's and Cabell Huntington hospitals.

Ginni Rometty's profit goal for IBM just got harder to reach.
First-quarter revenue for the computer-services company led by Rometty fell 3.9 percent from a year earlier to $22.5 billion, with sales continuing to tumble in its hardware unit and in developing countries. Analysts had estimated $22.9 billion on average.
The company took an $870 million charge for job cuts, sending adjusted earnings down 15 percent to $2.54 a share, in line with estimates.
Chief Financial Officer Martin Schroeter forecast a "very weak" first quarter in January, and IBM delivered. Now the company has to make up more ground to end the year with an increase in profit. The company reiterated its projection for 2014 adjusted earnings of at least $18 a share this year, even as sales fall amid an industrywide shift to cloud computing.
"For the stock to move meaningfully higher from the current valuation, we think IBM will need to demonstrate the company can grow revenues, not EPS," Keith Bachman, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets, said in a note to investors before the earnings report.
IBM shares fell 3.9 percent in late trading.
In each of the past three years, first-quarter earnings have made up 18 percent of IBM's full-year results. If IBM gets $18 a share in profit this year, the first quarter will have represented just 14 percent of the total. That means the company is counting on substantial improvement later this year.
Even before today's results, analysts estimated IBM would have adjusted earnings this year of $17.91 a share – below Rometty's forecast.
IBM, which employs thousands of people at its Research Triangle Park campus, is targeting $20 a share in adjusted earnings by 2015, up from $11.67 in 2010 – a pledge instated by former Chief Executive Officer Sam Palmisano and sustained by Rometty, who succeeded him in 2012.
To get there, Rometty has tried to shift the company's focus to cloud services and data analytics to keep up with changes in the industry. Technology customers are increasingly storing data and software on cloud-computing networks, rather than on-site, limiting their need for servers and mainframes.
IBM spent more than $1 billion to create a new group around its Watson technology, which analyzes large troves of data in plain English. Rometty bought cloud provider SoftLayer Technologies in 2013 for $2 billion and this year committed an additional $1.2 billion to bolster its data centers and offerings.
Cloud revenue grew more than 50 percent last quarter, and cloud offerings delivered as a service are now at an annual run rate of $2.3 billion. That's still a fraction of IBM's total $100 billion in revenue last year.
Rometty has also been getting out of less profitable businesses. IBM sold its customer-care unit to Synnex for $505 million in September. A $100 million gain from the deal was recognized in the first quarter.
Leaving out that unit's results and adjusting for currency changes, IBM's first-quarter sales would have dropped only 1 percent from a year earlier, the company said.
Another asset sale is on the way. China's Lenovo Group agreed to buy IBM's low-end server business for $2.3 billion. The deal is awaiting government review before closing, and the companies must convince U.S. officials that it won't give China back-door access to secrets and infrastructure.
Even with the changes, the company has struggled in its transition, prompting Rometty and her executive team to forgo bonuses last year.
"We would have preferred for IBM to wipe the slate clean, suspend EPS guidance and focus on transitioning the business to higher-growth revenue opportunities across all divisions," Brian Marshall, an analyst at International Strategy & Investment Group, said in a note to investors before the release.
Lagging demand for IBM's hardware division continues to drag down revenue, with the unit's sales falling 23 percent to $2.4 billion in the first quarter. Sales in developing countries slid 11 percent, or 5 percent when adjusting for currency fluctuations.
Lower-than-expected taxes may help Rometty make some progress toward her profit goal. The company reduced its forecast for this year's tax rate to 20 percent from 23 percent. It's still up from 15.6 percent in 2013.
The company will be relying on its global business services and software units, which together make up about three-quarters of sales, to reach the profit goals.
IBM shares had gained 4.7 percent this year through Wednesday's close of $196.40, compared with a less than 1 percent gain for technology companies in the Standard and Poor's 500 Index.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer will head to Israel to drum up business
PHOENIX -- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer will lead a trade mission to Israel later this year.
Brewer will be accompanied by Sonora, Mexico Gov. Guillermo Padres. They will meet with high-tech companies interested in expanding to Arizona and Mexico.
"It's a big deal and if it's successful it will bring jobs to both sides of the border. If Arizona is to remain competitive in the global economy, it is crucial that we continue to seek and support productive international partnerships," Brewer said.
The governor has been on previous trade missions to China, Europe, India and Taiwan.
A departure date hasn't been set.

For all of the basic things people easily forget to pack for travel—cell phone chargers, toothbrushes—it's amazing what people find time to slip in. Like, say, belt-buckle knives, landmines and, um, chastity belts.
Oh, and lots of grenades.
The Transportation Security Administration, whose agents make sure your shoes are off at the airport, has a blog with a roundup of some of the most dangerous and odd things found and said at checkpoints each week.
Sidenote: Saying you're a terrorist won't get you on the plane any faster.
A quick look at some of the TSA's recent finds:
- November: An inert detonator.
- September: A Mark 24 tube initiator used to detonate explosives.
- July: A novelty tobacco grinding grenade.
- June: Bat stars perfect for "fighting diabolical crime," the TSA says.
- June: A grenade-shaped cologne bottle.
- April: A grenade with a knife inside.
- March: Two inert shells from anti-personnel mines.
Other California finds:
- September: An inert grenade at San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
- July: A knife concealed in a belt buckle at San Jose International Airport (SJC).
- July: "Six Bladed Star of Death," or a throwing star with six folding knife blades, at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
- January: Two butterfly knives at LAX.
- January: Two razorblades in the frame of a bag at Sacramento International Airport (SMF).
The TSA, in a look back at all of 2012, noted that there were an average of four firearms found at checkpoints every day across the country at 199 different airports.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Airport (ATL) topped the list with 95 guns found last year.
Other crazy finds? A grenade launcher in Seattle, inert warheads in Salt Lake City and a chastity belt on a passenger's body.

The Crane girls basketball team is off to a 15-3 start this season while playing against an exceedingly difficult schedule.
One of those tough games came on Monday night when the Pirates took on Class 1 No. 1 Walnut Grove on the road.
Crane entered the half down two points on a hostile court with many young faces in the locker room. Sixth-year head coach Jeremy Mullins knew exactly who he would need to lead the Pirates back; his lone senior Maggie McMenamy.
"I always talk to her about leadership (and) her role in leading the team," Mullins said. "Last night (against Walnut Grove) it was really evident. She didn't miss a shot. I got the opportunity to watch the game film last night and she was always talking. She gets people to where they need to be at the right times."
McMenamy logged a double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds in Crane's 55-46 win over the No. 1 team in Class 1.
McMenamy is used to being the oldest person on the court for the Pirates. Last season she was the lone junior with no seniors and this year is the lone senior. As a result, McMenamy has been thrust into a leadership role that she has grown into over the last year.
"She has learned (to be a leader). Some of it is natural, but for the most part she has had to learn," Mullins said. "We have had a couple talks and so have my assistants with her and Coach Wilson down at C of O really had a good talk with her this summer about leadership. She has grown into that role."
The Crane senior is looked upon by her teammates to buoy them in all facets of the game.
"They call her their captain," Mullins said. "Emotionally we have had a conversation that if you aren't here then they aren't here. We try to get her here every day mentally and physically."
Emotional leadership is a facet the Crane senior knows is important for the success of the Pirates.
"Emotionally I have to be ready for the game," McMenamy said. "I feel as if I set the mood for everybody else."
Crane, currently ranked No. 5 in Class 2 by the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association, still relies heavily upon a team effort outside of McMenamy.
"We have a unique mix of one senior, we have some solid juniors, sophomores and freshmen that came in and helped us this year," Mullins said. "We have 14 talented individuals. What makes them even more special than their skill set is the fact that they are willing to work hard and work as a team."
But a deep run in the playoffs will be largely influenced by Crane's lone senior.
"I think she is going to be a big part of the story and I hope it doesn't end any time soon," Mullins said.
Getting to know Maggie McMenamy:
FAVORITE ATHLETE - Jackie StilesFAVORITE MOVIE - "The Goonies"
FAVORITE FOOD - Steak dinner
FAVORITE ACTOR - Liam Neeson
MOST DISLIKED ATHLETE - Lance Armstrong
FAVORITE TEAM - St. Louis Cardinals
Maggie is also involved in Student Council. She would like to pursue a degree in physical therapy after high school, but before then she would like to lead her team to a Class 2 state championship.She earned all-tournament in Ash Grove, Kickapoo and the Pink and White Lady Classic this season. Maggie was also all-region in volleyball as a senior.

It is cold today, and the Share the Warmth Clothing Drive is going on outside the FOX 29 station in Old City from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. All the donated clothes will go to local shelters.
Q Deezy joined FOX 29 today to talk to some of the awesome donors.
Peter from Center City was the first come and give back.
"My apartment's filled with a lot of stuff, but I kind of gotta get rid of it," Peter humbly said when Q pointed out how much clothes Peter brought.
This event was done in partnership with the United Way. Anyone who can't make it out today should donate clothes to the United Way building. They need hats, gloves, scarves, coats and any heavy winter clothing.
FOX 29 fan Gina came at around the 9 a.m. hour. She even brought her grandkids to share the love.
At around 9:30, two car clubs and a social club came and gave clothes. FOX 29's Steve Keeley wants FOX 29 to open a satellite location next year because so many people wanted to donate but couldn't make the drive down to the station. Anyone who still wants to drop off clothes can do so at the United Way building: 1709 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy, Philadelphia, PA 19103.
For folks in need of winter clothes, dial 211.
Join FOX 29's Mike Jerrick and the Good Day Philadelphia team for a tasty night of yummy treats benefiting local youth.

Pensacola Bay & Gulf October Inshore Fishing Report.
If you hit the waters of Pensacola Bay with the right baits during October and September, it'll be FISH ON! The Kings have invaded Pensacola Bay; they're gorging themselves on the massive schools of menhaden pouring out of the bayous, Escambia Bay and Blackwater Bay. During late September and October many kings show up in large numbers to feed on the massive bait pods. If you know where to go and have some fresh live menhaden in your live well, you'll be one happy fisherman for sure.
Not only have I been having fun with the kings in the bay, I've been out hitting the pass for reds and have had some nice strikes. Don't be surprised if you hook up a Spanish mackerel or two while out in the pass.
Bluefish and ladyfish are hanging around the flats just off Ft. Pickens, and throwing a top-water plug like a Top Dog from Mirr0lure will surely make for some exciting fishing.
The fishing isn't the only thing that is great about fall in Pensacola. The weather is wonderful; it is crisp and cool in the early morning hours, but by eleven, you can take off that jacket and enjoy the day in t-shirt and shorts. The water has been fairly calm, and the wind hasn't stopped us from getting out for a few hours.
Just offshore of Pensacola, the red snapper bite is red hot! Since the NMFS has opened up Red Snapper season on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through the end of November, anglers have made the most of the weekends on the water. We are bringing home delicious filets to share with friends and family. Red snapper for dinner and apple pie for dessert is a perfect way to end the week.
Not only is the red snapper bite going strong, but so is the trigger and mingo bite. So what are you waiting for? Give me a ring, and let's get you hooked up!
See you on the water.

Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by T Good mountain bike glove, not for bear country Good glove, good cushioning, using for mountain biking. Fits tight, a little hard to remove (which is good), had to buy a large instead of medium (mens glove size 8). Do not wear this or any other glove in bear country- you cannot clap your hands together loudly to scare away a surprised bear! For that life tip, click like on my review. For bear country, it might be better to get cushioned grips instead. August 14, 2013

I bought 'Blackberry Curve 3G' after due research and comparisons. Though the vendor I chose (Flipkart) was a very good decision, however the phone is not perfect.
I would say I am not disappointed by the phone however for the ones who are reading this review; the decision will hang on the balance between your needs and what is offered.
1. The processor is good. Hence the phone is fast. May have to do with Airtel BB connection I have.
2. QWERTY keypad and the keys are good. The functions on the keys are exhaustive.
3. The Data card is sufficient.
4. I like the interface. Is... (Expand)
Positive Things:
1. Excellent speed which never deteriorate over period of time like all other nonBB phones.
2. Querty keypad is built-wise excellent and user friendly compared to all other Querty phones
3. I am serving without BIS BES plan in just Rs99@month with RIM GSM so don't bother that costly BIS is must.Now those days r over. Without BIS BES also u can enjoy all apps like pushmail, gtalk, facebook, youtube,googlemaps and everything
4. Best phone for calls - Features like conferencing, enhancing voice clarity r excellent.
Negative Points :
1. PC software is worst one I have seen in... (Expand)
Got this phone after a lot of deliberation and looking at Android/Apple phones in the same range. Went for the Blackberry for two main reasons:
1. Hate a touch screen to type on
2. Have no real need for games, since I own an Ipod Touch.
I've used the phone for about a month now, and I am enjoying the keypad. That being said, typing on the iPod (and iPhone) is actually quicker than BB, but an iPhone is waaay out of budget for me. All in all, I'm happy with my buy.
You should be warned though, there is a lot of compatibility issues for apps on the Blackberry AppWorld. Apps are relea... (Expand)
Many people now uses one or the other smart phone but do they utilize the maximum apps out of it.No,they don't.Why many people prefer classic cars and bikes to the sporty and flashy ones? Ans is simple they don't go out of date.It is not about BB cult or limited specs of BB but BB is one of its type which provides a fully spaced QWERTY with classy looks.Morever recent wikileaks survey shows touchscreens are more prone to hackers because virtual keyboard itself is a software.Its like More money More tension.So no more apps and classic is the Best.NEILAV KONWAR
HI every one I am from chennai .BB is good but if problem comes on your phone blackberry service center wont take responsibility.again you have to call flip kart than they will give new service center no that is because flipkart take take blackberry from Redington pvt ltd. so i suggest you if before buying please insure about service center........
plastic everywhere not a good build

Must say this phone is really a master part of the pack from Blackberry, almost all features is available in this phone which we use in day to day life ..
And must praise Flipkart for their price and services . (View complete review)
i am using this phone last 10 months.
as i experienced is that Most of the Social network like Facebook is not working in this phone expect you buy the Blackberry service, which is expensive than local internet plan.
you can not access App world without BB service.
Flipkart is rocks

CATEGORIES Comedy, Site Announcements, Tom Cruise, Movie Marketing, Trailers and Clips, Trailers and Clips, Movies, Announcements, CinematicalThe new website for the heist comedy Mad Money has gone live with its first full-length trailer. It is pretty much what you would expect from a harmless little comedy, so if you are looking for a hard-edged crime flick, you are definitely in the wrong place. Along with the trailer, the website has the usual photo galleries and downloads (you can check out Cinematical's exclusive gallery here). There is even the chance to win a little of your own 'mad money' in a sweepstakes. Directed by Callie Khouri, the film stars Katie (or Kate; I can never keep it straight) Holmes, Queen Latifah, Diane Keaton, and Ted Danson. The story centers on three employees of the Federal Reserve who pull together for a plot to steal the money that is going to be taken out of circulation.
Khouri is probably best known as the writer for another famous female 'buddy film'; Thelma and Louise. Money is a pretty light-hearted flick so I doubt we'll be seeing Keaton, Holmes, and Latifah going over a cliff in a protest of patriarchal control. Mad Money will be Holmes' first big-screen role since Batman Begins and Thank You for Smoking back in 2005. As we all know, Holmes wasn't invited back for The Dark Knight and there were even a few thinly veiled shots directed towards her in the press over the whole matter. Since all that Wonder Woman talk never panned out either, for the sake of her career I only hope that comedy vets like Keaton and Danson can help keep Mad Money afloat at the box-office. Maybe then, Holmes will get credit for being something other than Mrs Tom Cruise. Mad Money hits theaters on January 18th.

San Francisco Art Institute Appoints Rachel Schreiber as Dean and Vice President for Academic Affairs
San Francisco, March 19, 2013—San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI), one of the nation's oldest and most prestigious schools of higher education in contemporary art, today announced the appointment of Rachel Schreiber as the new Dean and Vice President for Academic Affairs. In this role, which she will assume on July 1, 2013, Schreiber will serve as the Institute's chief academic officer, overseeing the faculty, the library, and academic administration. Schreiber will report directly to President Charles Desmarais and serve on the President's Cabinet.
Schreiber joins SFAI from California College of the Arts (CCA), Oakland and San Francisco, where she served as Director of Humanities & Sciences. She has been teaching in the fields of studio arts, critical theory, and the humanities for more than 17 years, serving at institutions including the Maryland Institute College of Art and the Herron School of Art. As an administrator, Schreiber was a graduate department chair at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore for eight years and, since 2008, divisional director at CCA.
"I cannot imagine a more perfect fit for the Art Institute," stated SFAI President Charles Desmarais. "Dr. Schreiber brings to the position advanced degrees and extensive experience in both her studio and academic practice—the two pillars of the Institute's world-renowned program in the fine arts. She is well versed in all aspects of academic administration. And on top of all that, she is a warm and charming human being. The entire SFAI community is very much looking forward to having her as our colleague."
A practicing visual artist and publishing historian, Schreiber holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Rhode Island School of Design, a Master of Fine Arts degree in Art and Writing from the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, and MA and PhD degrees in American history from Johns Hopkins University. Her extensive publication and exhibition records include two books, multiple articles, gallery and museum exhibitions, screenings, and invited lectures. Her forthcoming book, titled Modern Print Activism in the United States (Ashgate Publishing, April 2013), is an edited volume that looks at how print culture has been used as a form of social and political activism in twentieth-century U.S. history. Her most recent visual project, Site Reading, was commissioned by the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco and is currently on display as part of their exhibition "California Dreaming" on the history of Jewish life in the Bay Area. Site Reading, which highlights untold stories of Bay Area Jewish activists, exemplifies Schreiber's interdisciplinary approach in its combination of historical research, photography, and writing.
"I have long admired SFAI for its venerable history of being at the forefront of contemporary art practice and scholarship," stated Schreiber. "Working in higher education allows me to play an important role in shaping culture and society. SFAI is ideally situated to train students who will make significant contributions as artists, scholars, and tomorrow's problem solvers. I am thrilled to be joining the Institute, and to have the opportunity to take on this important leadership role."
An extensive portfolio of Dr. Schreiber's publications, exhibitions, lectures, grants, and awards is available upon request.
Founded in 1871 by artists, writers, and community leaders who possessed a cultural vision for the West, the San Francisco Art Institute has long been a locus for artists and thinkers. Committed to educating artists who will shape the future of art, culture, and society, SFAI fosters creativity and critical thinking in an open, experimental, and interdisciplinary environment. A small school with global impact, SFAI's notable faculty and alumni include Richard Diebenkorn, Ansel Adams, Annie Leibovitz, Enrique Chagoya, Kathryn Bigelow, Peter Pau, Paul Kos, George Kuchar, Catherine Opie, Lance Acord, Barry McGee, and Kehinde Wiley.
SFAI's innovative and interdisciplinary curriculum is informed by a strong tradition of rigorous studio work and research in all the visual arts. Balanced with that tradition is an equally strong emphasis in critical thinking, openness to ideas, support for individual perspective, and the teaching of artistic and cultural traditions beyond the Western model. SFAI offers BFA and BA degrees, MFA and MA degrees, a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate, a dual MFA/MA degree, and a range of continuing education and public programs. SFAI enrolls more than 650 students in the degree program and employs 23 full-time and approximately 120 part-time faculty members.

The 2013 News & Observer All-Metro team was picked with versatility in mind.
Not all of the 13 players selected played offense and defense, but all were capable of playing both ways.
The unit may be personified by Middle Creek junior tackle Terry Patterson, who was an all-Southwest Wake 4A pick on offense and defense.
Runners Johnny Frasier of Princeton, Patrick Pettiford of Orange and Nyheim Hines of Garner also were all-star caliber defensive backs. Wakefield quarterback Evan Brabrand started at linebacker as a junior.
Many of the players lined up at various positions. Hines, for example, played tailback, fullback, wide receiver, slot back, quarterback, linebacker, cornerback and safety at various times.
Versatility was one of many factors writes of The News & Observer and community papers considered in selecting the squad. Team success was another criteria. Eight of the nine teams represented by the players won at least 10 games. Princeton won nine.
Southern Durham, which won the N.C. High School Athletic Association 3AA title, has three players on the unit. Wake Forest, a 4AA finalist, has two as does 4AA semifinalists Middle Creek.
Injuries kept off some players, such as the only returning 2012 All-Metro players Braxton Berrios of Leesville Road and Trai Sharp of Carrboro.
Six of the 13 players are underclassmen Hines, Frasier, Patterson, Wake Forest runner Bryce Love and Southern Durham quarterback Kendall Hinton are juniors. Wake Forest tackle Dexter Lawrence is a 6-foot-5, 300-pound sophomore and is the biggest player on the team.
Sam Blue, Millbrook, 6-3, 245, Sr.: Posted 19 sacks and had 52 tackles for losses to lead a defense that held 10 opponents to 20 or fewer points. Blue, who had 119 tackles, had three strip fumble returns for touchdowns and one interception. He also carries a 4.5 overall grade-point average. The Wildcats (10-4) were eliminated in the state quarterfinals 27-24 in four overtimes by eventual state 4AA finalist Wake Forest.
Sam is a great kid who makes people around him better, Millbrook coach Clarence Inscore said. He has an awesome attitude and work ethic. He is a leader by example and is a true team leader.
Evan Brabrand, Wakefield, 6-3, 185, Sr.: Brabrand passed for 2,899 yards and 25 touchdowns in helping lead the Wolverines to an 11-2 season. Brabrand is a great athlete who started at linebacker as a junior and is an outstanding baseball player.
Evan is a remarkable young man, Wakefield coach Rod Sink said. He was able to move from middle linebacker to quarterback in only six months and helped to lead our team to a conference championship. He is a playmaker and one of our strongest leaders. Hes the type of young man every coach dreams of coaching.
Noah Chase, Southern Durham, 6-6, 278, Sr.: Chase was a key blocker in a Southern Durham offense that averaged 46.1 points per game.
Noah was the beef of the offensive line, Southern coach Adrian Jones said. He is a very mobile kid with great strength.
Johnny Frasier, Princeton, 5-11, 210, Jr.: Frasier ran for 2,995 yards and attracted national recruiting attention while leading Princeton to a 9-4 season. He averaged 11.8 yards per carry and rushed for 40 touchdowns. He already has received several offers from Atlantic Coast Conference teams.
Johnny had an outstanding season, Princeton coach Derrick Minor said. His commitment to the weight room and his leadership on this team has shown on the field. It's been amazing watching him run the ball this year. We are blessed to have him.
Nyheim Hines, Garner, 5-9, 181, Jr.: Hines rushed for 3,149 yards and 50 touchdowns. He added another eight receiving touchdowns and 500 yards in receptions. He scored three touchdowns on kick returns and had six scoring returns nullified by penalties. Hines averaged 234 yards rushing per game and more than 10 yards per carry on a 10-4 team. National caliber sprinter with 4.34 time in the 40. Also is an outstanding defensive back.
Nyheim plays extremely hard and has a tremendous work ethic, Garner coach Thurman Leach said. He has the speed to make big plays and the power to get tough yardage inside. He also is very versatile. He is a great receiver and kick returner.
Kendall Hinton, Southern Durham, 6-0, 180, Jr.: Hinton led state 3AA champion Southern Durham in passing (4,159 and 40 touchdowns) and rushing (1,242). He repeatedly engineered come-from-behind victories. The Spartans scored 22 points in the fourth quarter of a 38-31 win over Shelby Crest in the finals. Hinton passed for 332 yards and four touchdowns in the win.
Kendall is a great kid, Southern Durham coach Adrian Jones said. He is smart and is a leader on the field. He is a true gun-slinger.
Tom Hartshorn, Middle Creek, 6-0, 185, Sr.: Hartshorn was a difference maker for the Middle Creek defense that allowed 17.3 points per game. The Southwest Wake 4A Conferences defensive player of the year also was known for being around the ball and recovered eight fumbles.
He was the defensive leader, Middle Creek coach Mike Castellano said. He called the defenses and got us in the right sets and then made adjustments. He was a game changer.
Marquavious Johnson, Knightdale, 5-10, 170, Sr.: East Carolina recruit is known for making big plays. He rushed for more than 1,000 yards and passed for almost a 1,000. He is a national caliber track runner who has helped the Knight relay teams win national titles.
Marquavious is a driven competitor who is explosive with football in his hands. That is why we put him at quarterback, Knightdale coach Robert Senseney said.
Dexter Lawrence, Wake Forest, 6-5, 300, So.: Lawrence was a key player to a Wake Forest defense that led the team to the state 4AA championship game. Wake Forest limited teams to 113.8 rushing yards per game. Lawrence had 19 tackles for loss.
Dexter is a dominate defensive tackle, Wake Forest coach Reggie Lucas said. He is only a sophomore but has played outstanding on the defensive line since he entered high school. He is very athletic and can move pretty good for his size. Dexter enjoys competing and is more motivated the better the competition. I am very happy to have him for two more years.
Bryce Love, Wake Forest, 5-9, 180, Jr.: Love led Wake Forest to the NCHSAA 4AA championship game by averaging 10 yards per carry and gaining 1,973 yards. He scored 30 touchdowns. He is ranked among the nation's top sprinters and has a 4.8 overall grade point average.
Bryce is a very fast and is an explosive runner, said Wake Forest coach Reggie Lucas. He ran for nearly 2,000 yards during the regular season and was limited in the playoffs do to injuries. Bryce is one of the best all-around running backs that I've had the opportunity to coach.
Terry Patterson, Middle Creek, 6-3, 268, Jr.: Patterson was a Southwest Wake all-conference pick as a defensive lineman and offensive lineman. He keyed a Mustangs defense that held 14 opponents to three touchdowns or less as Middle Creek marched to the state 4AA semifinals and a 12-3 record.
Terry is the first player in school history to be all-conference on both sides of the ball, said Middle Creek coach Mike Castellano. He almost never came off of the field. He is a definite Division I talent.
Patrick Pettiford, Orange, 6-1, 190, Sr.: Led the Panthers to a 12-2 record with both losses coming against state champion Southern Durham. Defensive leader for a club that posted five shutouts and held four other teams to one touchdown or less.
Orange coach Pat Moser said Pettiford helped to make other players perform better. Hes a leader and hard worker, Moser said.
Maurice Trowell, Southern Durham, 5-11, 172, Sr.: N.C. State recruit helped Spartans to the state 3AA championship with 1,746 yards in receptions and 20 touchdowns.
