I was so excited to work with Mark and his wife, Toni. My original photographer cancelled at the last moment, which was actually doing me a favor. Mark worked with me to create a package that fit our budget. I wound up with photography, video, and the photo booth. They were very helpful during my wedding. I received my photos and albums within 4 weeks. I would recommend Affordable Photography by MEK to any couple for their wedding day.

Affordable Photography by MEK was worth every penny! The staff were helpful on my wedding day.I traded up my prints for an extra album for my parents.

My disappointment with Mark began when I was informed less than a month before my wedding that Mark himself would not be our photographer, as he had originally told us when we met with him. With this I was assured that Kevin our actual photographer was wonderful and that he had done many weddings at our venue and knew all the perfect spots for pictures. Well he may have known these awesome spots but I never saw them or had any pictures taken at those spots. All pictures were taken either in the bridal suite, on the metal steps outside the bridal suite( if you would have turned us 90 degrees we would have had a beautiful mountain background), or on the patio where the ceremony occurred. More disappointment came when I realized I had not one picture of myself and my son who was my ring bearer on my wedding day. The only fun picture I had with my wedding party was the guys lifting me up. ( which I had to suggest to Kevin). Oh and the sunglasses picture which we suggested as well. My disappointments were brought to Marks attention and I do not feel as though my concerns were validated. I tried to forget these disappoints as there were photos captured that were truly beautiful. But my final disappointment came when I relieved my album. They were placed squarely in an album from start to finish of the day. Yes I like the chronological order of the pictures but 4 pictures on the same page of my groomsmen is a bit redundant. I feel like no effort or creativity went into designing this, which is the one of the few things I have to remember my day from. I would not recommend this photographer to anyone. As far as videography which was set up through Mark, this guy was amazing! Big difference in professionalism between photographer and videographer.

Photography packages and services were a great value for the price. From the beginning we felt very comfortable with Mark's experience and felt confident that he would follow through with great professional service, leaving us with one less wedding item to worry about! Mark is very friendly and is sincerely interested in capturing your special moments for you.

Mark and his wife did a wonderful job with our wedding photos. They worked around our schedule and were very laid back. They captured photos for everything we asked for and even stayed a little longer than what we had originally paid for to make sure they got shots of all parts of the reception. My only negative was the amount of photos taken for the bride and the groom's family were a bit uneven. If you use Mark you will have wonderful photos, just be sure to tell him what it is that you want. Also, if you are looking for artsy/photo journalistic types of photos Mark did not do a lot of that. All in all, happy with the service. Thanks Mark!

We just got online access to view our proofs and to share our photos with family and friends to order as they choose. Mark kept his word and mailed us the DVD, CDs with rights to all the pictures as well as information to choose our pre-paid package of prints. We have over 800 wonderfully edited photos from the two very pleasant photographers at our wedding. His company name definitely says it all in that the quality of service and photographs you receive is definitely affordable for any budget. We even added the DVD service and are very pleased we did! Definitely look into this photographer to capture the moments of the best day of your life!

There were several reasons why we chose Affordable Photography by King - the main reason being that he was affordable and the quality of his images were second to none!! From our very first meeting with Mark King, we felt he was willing to work with us regarding the timeframe of the day and the types of photos we were hoping to capture. Throughout our special day, I felt Mark and his wife Toni went above and beyond - they really helped with the overall flow of our day and more than one time, I found that it was Mark carrying my train from picture to picture!! If you are looking for a photographer, I have no hesitation in recommending this professional yet very personable photographer!!!

Mr. King was booked for our wedding day but he was willing to help anyways. He referred me to one his other photographers. Her name is Casey Dennis and she was wonderful. Casey was professional and her help was too. She was flexable with her shooting and easy going. The prices were very fair and there was several options for packages.

Because of the simplicity of the Charpy test and the existence of a large database, attempts also have been made to modify the specimen, loading arrangement, and instrumentation to extract quantitative fracture mechanics information from the Charpy test.
Mechanical Behaviour of Materials
Figure 3.53 shows that an attempt can be made to relate the change in DBTT measured in a Charpy test with the shift of the yield strength after irradiation.
Methods for Improving the Impact Resistance of Composite Materials
It was found that the results of the standard Charpy test can be misleading, but the addition of instrumentation to provide load and energy histories can make this test a useful one.

8-? May 2012 Series finale
The finale might jump forward years/decades to show the future of Wisteria Lane.
Also, in October 2004, Marc Cherry told USA Today he planned to end the series with one of the women leaving Wisteria Lane, though, in his own words, "I have my own twisted idea of how I want to do it." (Though such an ending is far from set in stone; in the same article he suggested he'd out a major character around season 3, and of course Andrew ended up coming out much earlier than that.)

What's in a Coffee Cup?
The city may ban polystyrene – more commonly known by its trademark name Styrofoam – which would affect local restaurants
New Yorkers may soon have to wave goodbye to plastic foam coffee cups and take-out boxes. Last month, during his final State of the City address, Mayor Bloomberg announced that he wanted to ban the non-biodegradable plastic foam substance known as polystyrene, a move that would follow the likes of west coast cities like Seattle, San Francisco and Portland.
Environmental groups like the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) applaud the mayor's effort, saying that banning these substances could have a real impact on everyday urban living.
"Bloomberg has a sensible proposal to keep our streets clean and dispose of our household waste as well as phasing out a petroleum based product that has a short, useful life but stays around for many decades," said Eric Goldstein, the environment director for the NRDC.
But it's not easy being green, especially for businesses in New York concerned that alternatives to polystyrene could be expensive and really cut into small business' pockets, as well as cost jobs of polystyrene manufacturers.
Even big businesses like Dunkin Donuts could be hurt by the ban. The corporation released a statement of disapproval of the proposed ban: "A polystyrene ban will not eliminate waste or increase recycling, it will simply replace one type of trash with another."
"This is yet another mandate that government is imposing on a business when they're already struggling to survive," said Mike Durant, the New York director of the National Federation of Independent Business. "This will threaten jobs like any other mandate you see that comes from government."
In fact, a study released by the American Chemistry Council found that the proposed ban would actually cost the city $100 million annually. A Styrofoam cup, according to the New York Restaurant Association, costs seven cents, cardboard cups cost 15 cents, and a plastic cup could cost 45 cents per container. This may sound like only a matter of pennies, but according to the study, New York City restaurants could see a $57 million increase in costs. In addition, as many as 1,200 polystyrene manufacturing jobs could be lost with the enactment of a ban.
But despite the alleged costs, the ban is backed by multiple legislators like the Upper East Side's Senator Liz Krueger, who wants the substance banned statewide.
"This would be a great step forward for our city, both for the environment and public health – but we shouldn't just stop at the city limits," said Krueger last month after the State of the City address.
So what is polystyrene? Usually called Styrofoam, polystyrene is a petroleum-based expanded foam plastic. The substance is often preferred by restaurants because it insulates hot beverages better than paper or cardboard. According to the American Chemsitry Council, most polystyrene nowadays is actually made from a combination of petroleum and natural gas.
Those on the side of small businesses say that New York City should implement a recycling program for polystyrene. But according to NYC.gov, polystyrene is not recyclable because it is "very difficult to keep clean and separate from other types of plastic." Because it is difficult to clean and extremely lightweight, polystyrene would be costly to ship to a recycling plant, according to NYC.gov, and would cost the city money.
Alex Dmitriew, the commercial zero waste coordinator for San Francisco said that for similar reasons, the city of San Francisco also could not have a polystyrene recycling program, so the substance ended up as trash, and more often, litter.
"Typically polystyrene never really goes away. It breaks down but never deteriorates, it can end up in our sewer system and on our streets," said Dmitriew.
San Francisco has had a polystyrene ban in place since 2007, and has been encouraging the usage of sugar cane and plant-based containers, known as PLA or bagasse products. According to the compostable container and utensil distributor worldcentric.org, these organic products biodegrade in 60 days. Whereas, according to the NRDC, most polystyrene and plastic products are non-biodegradable, and stick around in the environment for thousands of years.
An organic PLA hot beverage 8-ounce cup costs less than 10 cents on the worldcentric.org website, only three cents more than the American Chemistry Council's listed cost of polystyrene containers.
But a 2006 study done by the Plastic Food Service Packaging Corporation found that despite being a petroleum-based substance, polystyrene actually uses less energy than organic substances, because the foam material is 90 percent air.
Eric Goldstein called foul on the results of this study.
"The restaurant industry knows that for environmental safety reasons the city is moving in this direction of phasing out their policy, so they string together some arguments and throw around some numbers," said Goldstein.
San Francisco has actually found that the city is much cleaner since the implementation of the ban six years ago. According to Dmitriew, within two years of the ban, the city saw a 41 percent decrease in polystyrene litter.
"Polystyrene is far from a perfect substance but it doesn't mean it wouldn't seriously impact people who are having trouble making ends meet," said Andrew Mozsel, a representative for the New York Restaurant Association. He mentions that smaller mom and pop restaurants as well as ethnic restaurants would most likely be affected.
Dmitriew said that San Francisco's government was concerned about the impact on businesses, and admitted that polystyrene is the cheapest substance around. He said that the city issued an ordinance, saying that any restaurant can apply for a waiver if they feel that they will face economic hardship. In reality, he said, only two restaurants asked for a waiver, out of more than 4,500 food establishments citywide, and the city was more than happy to help the establishments out.
Most restaurants and diners on the Upper East Side that we spoke with, like Three Star Diner on East 76th and 1st Avenue, and Gracie's Corner Diner on East 86th and 1st Avenue, said that they do not use polystyrene cups or plates, and so the ban would not affect them much.
"We haven't used Styrofoam in over 15 years. It's flimsy and doesn't hold up well. Hot food starts to melt the Styrofoam. We like to use hard, clear plastic," said Gus Klimis, the owner of East Side Eatery on 1st Avenue and 91st Street.
"Most of our prepared foods have to be heated up, so Styrofoam wouldn't work. So we don't use Styrofoam," said Garman Calle, the manager of E.A.T. on 3rd Avenue and 81st Street.

This week is absolutely flying by and do you realize we are just one day away from the Houston Texans' Week 14 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars?
These shortened weeks have to be tough on players, as I feel hurried and all I do is watch and write articles about the team.
With that said, in just viewing the web, our friends at House of Houston have an article titled, "Why you should root for the Houston Texans to lose on Thursday."
Yoni Pollak wrote in his article:
"The Texans have NOTHING to play for this season. I know some fans want to see this team win, but frankly it doesn't matter. Finishing with a 14 game losing streak would not bother me anymore than this season already has bothered me."
This article gives many reasons as to why he wants the Texans to lose the game next week, with the No. 1 reasons being they are basically in the drivers seat for the No. 1 overall pick if they lose this game.
How does everyone feel about that way of thinking? Let us know your thoughts here at the Toro Times in the comment section.
At the Ultimate Texans blog by the Houston Chronicle, Brian T. Smith gave an update on tight end Owen Daniels who may or may not return to the field this season.
Smith wrote:
"Whether Daniels will play in the Texans' final three games remains up for debate. But he's definitely out for Thursday's matchup at Jacksonville, marking a minor setback for an inconsistent offense …"
My thoughts remain the same on this topic as the last time I wrote about Daniels … why bring him back this season and risk more injuries? This season is lost, no need to make it even worse.
ESPN's Tania Ganguli wrote how Wade Phillips said J.J. Watt is still the top DL in the NFL.
She quoted Phillips, saying:
"J.J.'s probably the top defensive lineman in the league, I think everybody can see that from the way he plays. I don't know about all the numbers. He's really hit the quarterback a lot of times. Hasn't had as many sacks, but he's got a lot of hits on the quarterback."
I agree with Wade on this way of thinking. If there is a better defensive lineman in the NFL, I'd like to know who that is.

On this day in music history: July 28, 1980 - The self-titled debut album by Zapp is released. Produced by Roger Troutman and William "Bootsy" Collins, it is recorded at United Sound Studios in Detroit, MI from December 1979 - Early 1980. The debut album by the Dayton, OH R&B/Funk band will be the result of Roger Troutman's childhood friend Bootsy Collins introducing him to Parliament/Funkadelic leader George Clinton. The pair will help the band secure a record deal with Warner Bros (then the home of both Funkadelic and Bootsy's Rubber Band). While Roger and Bootsy are working together on another song titled "Funky Bounce", George Clinton (who happens to visit the studio that evening) will overhear the track in progress, hearing a particularly scintillating section of the groove, and suggest to the pair that they create another song around that hook, also using the talkbox. It will spin off two singles including "More Bounce To The Ounce" (#2 R&B, #86 Pop) and "Be Alright" (#9 R&B). "More Bounce" will go on to become one of the most widely sampled and influential records in history. "Zapp" will peak at #1 on the Billboard R&B album chart for 2 weeks, #19 on the Top 200, and is certified Gold in the US by the RIAA.

All good things must come to an end.
The Kansas City Royals dropped a 2-1 decision to the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park Thursday afternoon, ending their 10-game winning streak.
The loss dropped the Royals' lead back to only a half-game over the Tigers. Yet the Royals have to be satisfied going home with a first-place lead.
Danny Duffy (4-6, 2.80) took the loss in tossing seven strong innings, going over 100 pitches for the first time this year. He retired the last 10 batters he faced, but would like to have back the home run pitch he threw to J.D. Martinez in the sixth inning along with pitch to Miguel Cabrera that resulted in a run-scoring double in that same frame.
Otherwise, Duffy allowed only three hits and struck out five in doing his part to keep the game close.
Anibal Sanchez (3-2, 2.44) did one better in notching the victory, allowing only one run in seven innings. He gave up five hits, with no strikeouts and no walks allowed.
The Royals put together two double in the first for one run. Nori Aoki led off the game with a double and Billy Butler picked him up with a two-out double for the game's first run.
It was all the Royals, who seemingly couldn't help but score over their 10-game winning streak, could conjure up.
NOTABLES: The Royals 10-game winning streak came to an end.
Alex Gordon sat out the game due to a case of the flu.
Joe Nathan struck out all three Royals he faced for his fourteenth save.
Danny Duffy lowered his earned run average to 2.80.
Joe Nathan has 41 saves lifetime against the Royals. The Royals have never beater Nathan.
Anibal Sanchez has started six games against the Royals and not allowed more than one run in any of those starts.
The Royals went 8-1 against division opponents in their last nine division games.
NEXT: Hisashi Iwakuma (5-3, 2.59) vs. James Shields (8-3, 3.50) at Kauffman Stadium, 7:10 p.m. Friday.

Eversheds: Brummie ache" />If you believe Eversheds' chief executive David Gray, his firm is a great place to work and will have no difficulty hitting the challenging new targets put in place by a recent strategic review.
If you believe some of the firm's former partners, though, the firm is breaking up from the inside out, starting with the Midlands. "If there were a war between London and Birmingham, London just won," one comments.
Conflict between Birmingham and London is a serious issue for Eversheds. It was in Birmingham that the original four members of the Eversheds alliance, including Midlands firm Evershed & Tomkinson, first came together to form a single firm. The office is the firm's spiritual home and is very much part of its regional roots.
But Birmingham continues to cause the London-based management headaches. One London source calls Birmingham a "basket case", while another describes it as "a significant management problem".
Eversheds' strategy is to see its London office grow to a £100m-plus business, addressing Gray's concern that Eversheds in the City lacks critical mass in key practice areas, such as banking and finance and private equity. London managing partner Cornelius Medvei, though, is confident of success, telling The Lawyer: "We're growing faster than most people are."
But Eversheds' London office is still dominated by its property practice, which firmwide brings in more income (£77.5m) than the entire City office (£70m). Medvei was previously head of real estate, and his successor Lee Ranson is also in London.
The rest of the firm's management is also now increasingly centred in the City. John Heaps, head of litigation, moved to London from Leeds in late 2005. Corporate head Peter Halpin is also in London. In addition, nine of Eversheds' 19 'product group' heads are in the City, with the most recent arrival being real estate finance head Nicholas On, who was relocated from Newcastle.
"In London we have the opportunity to develop a really strong City practice, which would benefit the regions and benefit our international aspirations," says Medvei, adding that property will be key to the growth.
But it has to make the strategy work. Building London through hires is one thing. However, Eversheds' roots and much of its work are in the regions, and keeping the regional offices invested in the firm is vital. Twelve of the 13 partners to leave Eversheds in the 2005-06 financial year were based outside London. The exception was employment partner Elaine Aarons, who quit for Withers in April 2006.
Regional troubles
The hardest-hit offices in the past 18 months have been Birmingham and East Anglia. Eversheds' Norwich office lost three corporate partners and one property partner to Mills & Reeve in May 2005, quickly followed by the departure of Cambridge-based IP partner Patrick Farrant to Taylor Vinters.
Meanwhile, Birmingham has lost IT specialist Sally Mewies to Wragge & Co, corporate finance partner Chris Garnett to Shoosmiths, corporate partner David Stevenson to Pinsent Masons and, most recently, litigator Steve Barker to Reed Smith.
In the same period (since May 2005), Eversheds' Leeds, Newcastle and Nottingham offices lost one partner each. Manchester lost two and London three.
In contrast, Eversheds' lateral hire policy has focused on London, where 10 laterals have been made during the past three years against six in each of the North and central regions. There have been slightly more partner promotions in the regional offices in the same period, with 18 new partners in the Midlands, 17 in the North and 13 in London.
Most of Eversheds' rainmaking firepower is in the regions. For example, Manchester corporate partner Danny Hall recently brought in the £1.46bn sale of The Caudwell Group to Providence, earning a glowing recommendation from Phones 4u owner John Caudwell.
Other key clients, such as Legal & General, are serviced from across the firm's network of regional offices. Being in Leeds does not preclude a partner from being the main contact for a company based in the South.
Gray and Medvei claim that they are committed to the regions. "There has to be a benefit for the offices outside London," says Gray. "It's just being clear with people that being focused on growing in London doesn't mean we don't want to grow outside London."
Medvei says Eversheds is trying to hire for Norwich and Ipswich, adding: "We'll grow them more strongly."
Here Gray chimes in with his 'great place to work' mantra. Eversheds does appear regularly in The Sunday Times' '100 Best Companies to Work For' list and has a good reputation among graduates. Nevertheless, former Eversheds partners greet the catchphrase with disdain. "Eversheds is a great place to work, except if you're a partner," says one.
Another is less caustic, saying Eversheds' problems come from swift expansion. "It's not a miserable place," the partner says. "It's grown very quickly and therefore doesn't really have a single identity. It's not a hard place to work, but it's not that great."
The same partner suggests that one of the obstacles to Eversheds achieving its strategic ambitions is the lack of a strong figurehead. Gray is a less messianic figure than his counterparts at competing firms, such as Nigel Knowles at DLA Piper or Mark Jones of Addleshaw Goddard.
Sources say the only way Eversheds will succeed in hitting its £600,000 profit per equity partner target in three years is by squeezing its equity partnership even tighter than the 47 per cent it currently stands at. Gray and Medvei counter by citing the firm's new merit-based lockstep, which comes in at the start of the next financial year. The lockstep will be entirely performance-based.
"People will be equity partners if they're making an equity partner contribution," Medvei says.
Eversheds promoted 10 partners to equity in 2006-06 and is planning to try to hold the equity partnership static during the next three years. Gray adds that the firm does not "anticipate de-equitising", but the fact remains that the equity partnership has shrunk each year for the past four years, while the number of salaried partners has risen slightly.
Overseas alliance
But the London v regional issue is not the only one preoccupying Gray. His sights are set outwards. Internationally Eversheds continues to seek alliance partners in new regions. During the three years that Gray and chairman Alan Jenkins have been at the helm of the firm, Eversheds has signed up to no fewer than 11 new associations with foreign firms, including Germany's Heisse Kursawe Rechtsanwälte Partnerschaft, Wierzbowski I Wspólnicy in Poland, Piergrossi Bianchini in Italy and most recently Dublin's O'Donnell Sweeney.
The alliance system is an easy way for Eversheds to pick up an overseas presence without having to commit to a merger or organic growth. If strategy divides then the alliance ends.
In the past months, however, Eversheds has begun to pursue a different international strategy. In September 2005 the firm brought to an end its five-year alliance with Malaysia's KhattarWong & Partners after a rift over China. In September 2006 Eversheds announced that it had gained a licence to open its own office in Shanghai.
That was followed swiftly by a similar licence for the new Qatar Financial Centre, although Eversheds' relationship with its associated Qatari firm is not being dissolved.
Francis Hackett, managing partner at O'Donnell Sweeney, says the firm is adding 'Eversheds' to its name in January and that so far the alliance is proving beneficial, with both firms referring work to each other on a regular basis.
On the Continent the task of growing the Eversheds network has been handed to Michael Brown. Formerly London managing partner, Brown stood against Gray for the role of firmwide managing partner in 2003, losing by a narrow margin. The result proved Gray is able to win over the doubters in a tight contest.
Gray points out that the firm's wide practice area base enables Eversheds to survive whatever the market throws at it. However, it reinforces the fact that Eversheds cannot afford to ignore its roots as London balloons. In their own ways the regional volume businesses and the niche areas such as white-collar crime, which are not pursued by the firm's competitors, are crucial to the firm's strategy as a large City office.
Eversheds' management maintains that the strategy is all about "growing and developing" the business. It is confident of success in the long run. "We'd rather be the tortoise than the hare, as we always get there," says Medvei, who adds with an uncharacteristic flourish: "I think the opposition should be very afraid."

Henry Clarence Baldridge (November 24, 1868 – June 8, 1947) was an American politician. A Republican, he was the 14th Governor of Idaho, from 1927 until 1931.
Born in Carlock, Illinois, Baldridge was educated in the public schools. He attended Illinois Wesleyan University and then taught school.[2] He married Cora A. McCreighton on February 1, 1893.[3] They had a son, M. Claire Baldridge, and a daughter, L. Gail Baldridge.[1]
Baldridge relocated from Illinois to southwestern Idaho in 1904 and settled in Parma and worked in the mercantile trade. Later he dealt in implements and hardware and was president of the local bank[1] Baldridge entered the state legislature in 1911 as a member of the house. In 1913 he moved to the state senate, serving a single term there as well. In 1922 he was elected the 15th lieutenant governor and elected again in 1924 and served in that capacity in the administration of Governor Charles C. Moore. Baldridge was elected governor in 1926 and re-elected in 1928. Although he warned against expansion of public building programs, significant additions were made to the University of Idaho in Moscow. State highway building was financed by a state gasoline tax.[4]
After leaving office on January 5, 1931, Baldridge returned to his various business interests. He ran for Congress in the 1st district in 1942, but was defeated in the general election by five-term incumbent Compton White of Clark Fork. Baldridge was appointed Commissioner of Charitable Returns from 1943 to 1945.[5]
After the death of his wife, Baldridge moved from Parma to Boise in 1942. In apparent good health, he died in his sleep of a cerebral hemmorage at age 78 in Boise on June 8, 1947, and is interred at Parma Cemetery in Parma.[1][6]

Okay, here it is. The dumbest, most idiotic bit of fangirl stupidity you are likely to see on this blog: I've decided not to cut my hair until Brandon Boyd does (which could be never, and that would be fine). I actually had this idea a few days ago, and managed to resist making a fool of myself by saying it out loud, but seeing this photo was the final straw. Now before you get up in my ask to tell me I need to get a life (and yes, Anonymous, I'm talking to you), let me assure you that I'm already well aware of this. But I have to risk speculating that if enough people were with me, we could start some sort of movement. Maybe if it goes on long enough we can all agree to donate our hair to one of those organizations that makes wigs for cancer patients or something. I'm convinced there's some MYF-style goodness that can come out of this. Reblog if you're in.

All-Americans, NCAA qualifiers and a horde of other talented major college wrestlers matched up on the mats Sunday.
Ironically, however, the most memorable of all of the matches was a first round bout between a relatively unknown and a wrestler ranked first in the nation, which the top ranked grappler won easily in a 10-4 decision. Doesn't sound too interesting? Well, maybe this will help, that top-ranked wrestler was female.
Sara McMann, a junior at Lock Haven, is the No. 1 wrestler in the country at the women's 138-pound weight class. She can't actually wrestle for Lock Haven, because she receives a monthly stipend from USA Wrestling, and is considered a professional athlete. She does train with the men, however, and she travels with the Bald Eagles to a number of open meets, and along with fellow female wrestler Jennifer Wong, she wrestles unattached.
On occasion she pulls one out against the men as she did Sunday in that 10-4 decision over Lehigh's Anthony Shave, in which she nearly registered a pin.
"I didn't really expect to win one today," she said. "I'm more excited about this win than I have been in a while. It's actually more exciting than winning women's meets, because I'm used to winning those, and it doesn't feel as good to beat someone you're used to beating.
"It feels a lot better when I surprise myself by winning."
Though she was surprised to get a win at a college meet, McMann is definitely used to beating the men. She began her wrestling career at McDowell High School in Marion, North Carolina. Despite having to deal with the conservative ideals of the South, the snickering at meets, and one woman in the stands actually saying:
"She should be cooking for those boys instead of wrestling them," McMann let her deep love for the sport drive her forward. She defeated a man for the first time in her freshman year at an open tournament. The boy was also in his first year of the sport, and was deeply upset by the loss.
"I just went over and told him that he did good," she said. "I know how bad first-year wrestlers get it in the first place, and losing to a girl would just make it a lot worse. That's the type of thing that can make a kid quit, and I just hoped he'd learn from it and realize that losing is part of wrestling."
By her junior year, she had broken the starting lineup, and in her senior year she actually had a winning record, earning the respect of the fans and her male teammates.
"It was a little disheartening that people weren't open-minded at first," she said. "But after a while, people just realized that I really must love the sport to be out there. My teammates started looking at me like any other teammate, and as a contributor to the team."
McMann went to the University of Minnesota-Morris, where there is a women's wrestling program, for her first year of college, but didn't like the training she was getting. She placed a call to Lock Haven coach Carl Poff, whose camp she had attended a number of years earlier, and Poff was glad to have her in the wrestling room.
"What she's done in getting to the top of her weight class is such a tribute to her desire and work ethic," Poff said. "She's willing to do absolutely anything to get better. She's really made this work. The guys see how hard she works, and they've accepted her as part of the team."
McMann's day ended shortly after her victory. Penn State's own Scott Moore, who would win the 133 pound weight class, pinned her just 1:10 into their match, and in the wrestleback, she was eliminated by Navy's Jason Humbstead, who pinned her in 1:59. Though Moore never really had any trouble with her, her strength and desire impressed him.
"She's stronger than a lot of guys I've wrestled," Moore said. "She fought off her back pretty well."
"I knew not to take her lightly because she's been in a lot of other tournaments we've wrestled in. It just says a lot about how hard she works and how much guts she has for her to come out and wrestle."
Though McMann says she originally came out for wrestling with a sense of rebellion, her point is not to make a revolution in wrestling.
"I don't go out there trying to prove that women can wrestle," she said. "There was never a doubt in my mind about that. If no women ever wrestled after me, it wouldn't matter to me.
"I just do it because it's what I love to do."

Adventures of the Teen Furiesby Maryjanice Davidson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
(YA) Andrea Grouper, chronic wise-ass and Air Force brat, has plenty to keep her busy. When she isn't battling her chauvinist father for freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution, she's keeping a wary eye on her best friend (who is under psychiatric care), avoiding her best friend's creepily manic boyfriend, fending off the poetic attentions of her own boyfriend, and hiding her crush on his best friend. Add an uncaring school and a loving but clueless family to the mix, and you've got Andrea's life in a nutshell--rollicking good times, the anger of the oppressed, and painful insecurity. In other words, adolescence.

Ah, young love. Is there anyone more pure… and stinky at the same time? That's what Miranda Cosgrove's Despicable Me 2 character, Margo, experiences in the upcoming movie. And, fortunately for all of you Cosgrovers out there, you'll get to learn all about it in the above featurette from Miranda herself.
During the interview, the former iCarly star says she "was super excited to make Despicable Me 2. The film has something for everybody. The three girls are all very different, so there's something for everyone to relate to." Margo's grown up a bit; she has a new guy in her life, Antonio (voiced by Moises Arias), who she immediately falls in love with after meeting. Gee, wonder how Papa Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) is gonna handle this one…
Besides what's going on with the eldest of the girls, you'll also learn more from Dana Gaier and Elsie Kate Fisher, who voice Edith and Agnes respectively. Apparently, they want Gru to start dating [ENTER Kristen Wiig], and are super excited to hear that he's recruited to go undercover to save the world.
Despicable Me 2 hits theaters July 3, but to get your fix of clips, interviews — and minions! — before then, watch the video above.
