This is the tale, based on the popular book by Victoria Kann and Elizabeth Kann, of Pinkalicious, who can't stop eating pink cupcakes despite warnings from her parents. Her pink indulgence lands her at the doctor's office with Pinkititis, an affliction that turns her pink from head to toe - a dream come true for this pink loving enthusiast. But when her hue goes too far, only Pinkalicious can figure out a way to get out of this pink predicament.
PINKALICOUS THE MUSICAL is about learning the power of self-control and the importance of moderation.
Pinkalicious loves pink and wants everything in her life to be pink. Her dream is to radiate pink. After over indulging in pink cupcakes, she wakes up pink. She is thrilled to be pink and have her dream come true.
Her parents take her to the doctor, and she is diagnosed with pinkititis. On the way home, Pinkalicious plays at the playground but is attacked by birds and bees when she is mistaken for a pink flower. Her best friend doesn't even recognize her as she is camouflaged in the garden. At home, she eats another cupcake, and the next morning she wakes up red and develops pink eye pinkititis whereby she can only see the color pink. Now she must do something to fix her predicament.
She bravely follows the doctor's order to eat green food. Due to her new resolve, Pinkalicious is transformed back to normal. Pinkalicious has learned self-control and to be careful for what you wish for. Her brother, on the other hand, has eaten the last cupcake, turns pink, and shouts with glee: Pink-A-Boo!

Meniscus "Repair" Surgery often involves cutting away torn sections of the Meniscus - the name is very misleading. Very seldom does Meniscus Repair Surgery actually completely repair your torn Meniscus. The procedure usually gets rid of the pain by getting rid of the tissue, instead of fixing the actual problem. Meniscus Surgery should only be considered as a last resort.
The Meniscus is living tissue that can heal. Trying to heal it quickly before it tears again is the big challenge. Don't allow your Meniscus to be cut away forever by "repair surgery". Use our ColdCure® and BFST® Knee Wraps to heal quickly and completely. Start with the ColdCure® Knee Wrap to reduce your pain and swelling. When the swelling and inflammation is gone, start doing BFST® treatments. The BFST® Knee Wrap will stimulate blood flow in your knee to accelerate the healing of your Meniscus.
If you have a full or grade 3 Meniscus tear, surgery may be your only option. There are 2 types of Meniscus surgery - Meniscectomy and Meniscus Repair. In a Meniscectomy, the damaged parts of your Meniscus are removed, leaving only the healthy parts of your Meniscus intact. In Meniscus Repair Surgery, the torn pieces of your Meniscus are stitched up. While there is a longer expected recovery time with Meniscus Repair Surgery, a Meniscectomy can result in other health problems in the future, such as arthritis.
Do this and your Meniscus injury can truly heal - finally.
Should you opt to go forward with surgery, be aware that while it may be the quick fix you were looking for, you will not be healthy immediately after the surgery is complete. The removal or repair of the damaged area will be painful following the operation. Also, the tissue will not be fully healed, and will require a period of healing afterwards.
If surgery is your only option, our products can aid in your recovery. Our Knee ColdCure® Wrap will help reduce your pain and swelling following surgery. When the swelling and inflammation is gone, use our Knee BFST® Wrap to help increase blood flow to the Meniscus and speed up your recovery time.
You don't have to wait for endless months in pain. You can heal your Meniscus much more quickly with the right treatment. For a Meniscus injury, blood flow is the most critical element in rapid recovery. Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy® (BFST®) gives your Meniscus the blood flow it needs to heal quickly and completely.
BFST® brings oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the injured Meniscus - a requirement for the body to heal itself. Unfortunately, an injured Meniscus at rest often has restricted blood flow. Physical activity will promote blood flow but all too often it also results in small but frequent re-injury, which extends your healing time and greatly increases the amount of scar tissue that develops. With a King Brand® BFST® Knee Wrap, blood flow can be stimulated in your Meniscus while you're at rest. With improved blood flow and without physical activity and the risk of re-injury, you can recover from your Meniscus injury or surgery at a surprisingly rapid rate.
BFST® stimulates blood flow throughout your entire Meniscus area while you are at rest. This is very important because while at rest, an unaided and inflamed Meniscus can otherwise have seriously impeded blood flow. It is the oxygen and nutrient-rich blood that enables the healing process, so adequate blood flow is required for the Meniscus tissue to heal properly and quickly.
BFST® treatments are very pleasant and relaxing. People often notice a slight tingling sensation and warmth deep in their knee as the BFST® starts the blood flowing. Since the effects of each 20 minute treatment last for up to 4 hours, it's best to spread your treatments out throughout the day. An ideal treatment regimen would be one treatment first thing in the morning, another treatment in the afternoon, a treatment in the evening and the last treatment of the day right before bed.
Almost as important as the promotion of blood flow is the reminder of the injury. The reminder is what will help you move with care so you don't overdo it and end up doing more damage to your knee. Avoiding re-injury is fundamental to rapid recovery, which is why we recommend that you keep wearing your BFST® Wrap between treatments. When your treatment ends, simply unplug the controller from the device and tighten the wrap to your knee. This will act as a reminder of your injury, as well as provide your knee with light support and protection.
Meniscus injuries are extremely painful and debilitating. NSAIDs such as ASA, acetaminophen or ibuprofen are often used to treat the pain, but these drugs do nothing to treat the actual condition. In fact, NSAIDs are known blood thinners and actually make the bleeding worse for fresh tissue injuries. Typical pain medications actually interfere with the healing process. Cortisone injections are used in extreme cases but these too are intended to address the pain. They do not promote healing of the injury and they put you at a very high risk of further injury.
Painkillers mask the pain and cause you to continue to injure your Meniscus. This only makes things worse. It is understandable that people need relief from the pain, especially following surgery, so if you have to take painkillers, try to restrict them to times when you are resting. You can use painkillers to help you sleep. Using them when you are active is a recipe for permanent damage.
The safest and most effective pain reliever is a ColdCure® Knee Wrap from King Brand®. The ColdCure® Knee Wrap is specifically designed to treat the pain that's present when you have a Meniscus injury, as well as the pain that occurs after Meniscus surgery. It does a superior job of relieving pain and swelling, without any of the negative aspects of painkillers. ColdCure® Wraps also work faster. While painkillers take 20 minutes to kick in, as soon as you apply the ColdCure® Wrap to your knee, you will feel the cool, soothing relief.
For dealing with the swelling and pain associated with a Meniscus injury or Meniscus surgery, nothing works better than cold and compression.
ColdCure® technology was developed specifically to address the need for a cold compression device that does not freeze the skin and underlying tissue. As a result, ColdCure® therapy can be applied for extended periods of time, providing superior relief from the swelling and pain that comes with a Meniscus injury or Meniscus surgery. While King Brand® makes ColdCure® devices for all parts of the body, there's no better version than the ColdCure® Meniscus Wrap. Put it on and you will instantly feel relief and relaxation as it draws the pain and tension out of your knee and Meniscus. You can walk with it on and it feels wonderful the entire time you are wearing it.
The ColdCure® Knee Wrap is made entirely of very stretchy material. It wraps around your knee and applies a gentle pressure over your entire Meniscus area. The wrap comes with 3 swappable cold packs of a very special design. They are soft and flexible and mold to the shape of your knee, yet the gel inside them won't move out of place, unlike other formulas that are watery and mushy. Our gel conforms comfortably to your knee and won't flow away, even under heavy pressure for long periods of time. You insert them inside the wrap 1 at a time, keeping the other 2 in the freezer so you can keep swapping them out as many times as you like.
When you're not doing treatments with your BFST® or ColdCure® Wrap, your injured tissue becomes vulnerable to further damage. You don't want to re-injure your already fragile tissue and make your Meniscus injury worse. Apply KB Support Tape directly over your knee between your BFST® and ColdCure® treatments. This will provide your Meniscus with additional support and protection.
Our skin is soft and elastic and can stretch much more than the tissue underneath. When you apply KB Support Tape to your skin, it becomes a much more rigid surface than before, serving to limit how much the skin can stretch. The Tape makes your skin a source of outside support to hold your tissue in place, helping to prevent re-injury. That's why we call it armor for your injury.
KB Support Tape provides your injury with lightweight, comfortable compression to relieve your swelling throughout the day. It also prevents re-injury by providing support and protection for your injured tissue.
KB Support Tape comes in 2 different styles: Pre-Cut Strips and a Continuous Roll. These 2 styles come in 4 different colors: Pink, Blue, Black & Beige. There's no functional difference between the colors, they just allow you to express your personal style.
The Pre-Cut Strips of KB Support Tape are ideal for people who want to use their tape on-the-go. Since they're already cut into ready-to-use strips, you can apply and go! Each roll of Pre-Cut KB Support Tape contains 20 individual strips. Each Pre-Cut Strip is 2 inches wide and 10 inches long.
The Continuous Rolls of KB Support Tape are perfect for you if you're looking for a more customizable Tape. You can cut the Tape into a variety of different shapes and sizes to achieve a completely unique application for your injury. Each box contains 1 Continuous Roll of KB Support Tape that is 2 inches wide and 16 feet long.
While we found the above application to be effective for Meniscus injuries, it's only an example. We encourage you to try different applications for Meniscus injuries in order to find the one that works best for you. Also, remember to listen to what your body is telling you. Use the pain as a guide. If you feel the pain in a specific area of your knee, apply the tape there.
What sets KB Support Tape apart from the rest? It's not athletic tape, it's medical tape. This means our Tape is manufactured to ISO 10993 standards, which ensures that our Tape is made from extremely safe, biocompatible materials. This means the Tape is ideal for people who've had surgery, as it's completely safe for the Tape to come into contact with your body tissue. The materials we use to make our Tape are actually safer than the materials used to make most baby products, including diapers, toys and clothing. Don't let the big brand tapes fool you. Most of them are made from toxic materials, because there are no standards for athletic tape. Some big brand athletic tape glues even contain carcinogenic ingredients. At King Brand®, your health and safety are of utmost importance, which is why KB Support Tape is manufactured to such high standards.
Every BFST® and ColdCure® Wrap purchased comes with the free professional consulting services of our King Brand® Advisors. One of our Advisors will contact you 2 or 3 days after your order has been delivered to see how your treatments are going and answer any questions you may have. Our Advisors have been thoroughly trained on BFST® and ColdCure® technology and treatments. They are also highly knowledgeable when it comes to Meniscus injuries. Our Advisors truly care about your recovery. They can even help you create a treatment plan that's specific to your schedule. While one of our Advisors will follow up with you directly, you are welcome to contact us if you need any help. We're here for you throughout all the stages of your recovery.
When you entered our site, a Meniscus ColdCure® medical device, a Meniscus BFST® medical device and a roll of KB Support Tape were automatically put into your shopping cart. What's in your cart now are the three things you need to stop the pain and speed the healing of your Meniscus. You may go to the checkout at any time or please continue to learn more about treating Meniscus injuries by exploring our site. You can also find products to treat other injuries and ailments in our shop.
Combination Therapy means using ColdCure® and BFST® in combination by alternating treatments, as well as using KB Support Tape between your treatments. Combination Therapy is much more effective than using just one product or the other. This is because you're getting the pain and swelling relief of ColdCure®, the healing benefits of BFST®, and the protection and re-injury prevention of KB Support Tape, resulting in the absolute best treatment for your Meniscus injury.
Use the ColdCure® Wrap several times a day to help reduce not only the visible swelling you may see on the surface, but also the inflammation you may have and cannot see, deep down in the soft tissue.
Avoid using the BFST® Wrap until your inflammation and swelling has subsided. Start your BFST® treatments on Level 1. For maximum benefit, please take into consideration that each 20 minute treatment optimizes your blood circulation for an average of 4 hours. We recommend 3-4 treatments daily, spread throughout the day. During the day, do a BFST® treatment every 4 hours or before any type of physical activity. This can include anything that puts a strain on the injured area (walking, standing for extended periods, etc). This can also be used for preventative measures after a full recovery to optimize your blood flow.
Do a ColdCure® treatment any time you experience a pain flare-up or after any physical activity to prevent further injury and reduce swelling and inflammation. Wait 30-45 minutes after your ColdCure® treatment to use BFST® again. This time will allow the blood flow and body temperature to regulate again. Refrain from using ColdCure® within the 4 hours following your 20 minute BFST® treatment. This will counteract the treatment. If necessary, use the ColdCure® Wrap for pain control, then follow up with another BFST® treatment.
Any time you're not doing a BFST® or ColdCure® treatment, wear KB Support Tape on your knee. More Tape means more support, so if you're doing something physically demanding, you may want to apply an extra layer of Tape. If you're taping and doing multiple BFST® treatments throughout the day, do your first BFST® treatment before the Tape is applied and your last treatment after it has been removed at the end of the day.
BFST® Wraps are FDA Registered Class II medical devices. In order to pass the FDA approval processes, our BFST® devices had to meet very high standards of quality, safety and performance. BFST® Wraps comply with hundreds of pages of regulations and standards that are in place to keep you safe and ensure effective treatments. Manufacturers of consumer grade, non-FDA Registered products can't say the same.
The Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy® (BFST®) Wrap is designed to promote blood flow in injured tissue below the dermal (fat and skin) layer. Utilizing our proprietary Energy Web®, specially controlled and incredibly safe, low levels of EMR energy envelop your knee and stimulate blood flow in the soft tissue deep beneath the skin. The resulting stimulation brings oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the injured area, accelerating the healing process.
BFST® Wraps come with a 3 level power controller. Everyone should start their treatments at Level 1 and work their way through the levels gradually as their Meniscus heals. Proceeding immediately to Level 2 or 3 will not speed up your healing time. You need to condition the body first.
During your first treatments on Level 1, your knee area will feel quite warm. This is because at first, your circulation is poor. The more treatments you do, the less warming sensation you will feel. This is good. As the warmth lessens from treatment to treatment, this is an indication that the circulation in your Meniscus is improving. Better circulation means more blood flow all the time, not just during treatments. This is the goal. When you feel very little warmth during a treatment, it is time to move up to the next power level. Don't rush it though, more heat does not mean better treatment. In fact, less heat means better treatment, so take your time moving up in levels.
The Energy Web® of the Knee BFST® device is enclosed in a soft, comfortable neoprene wrap. The wrap shapes the Energy Web® to mold up and around your knee to ensure that there is an even distribution of energy over the entire Meniscus area. The wrap is opened and closed using attached Velcro® straps that guarantee a custom fit. After treatment, the wrap does not need to be removed. The straps can be further tightened to provide snug support and protection for your Meniscus. The device disconnects at the wrap from the power supply and controller so that you are free to move about your home when not receiving treatment, while still wearing the wrap for protection and comfort.
When you're recovering from a Meniscus injury, the pain ends long before you've finished healing. In fact, the pain is usually gone once your tissue is about 20% healed. The healing process is very complex and takes much longer than most people realize. (You can click here for the full story.) The key thing to remember is that long after the pain stops, your injury is still healing. This means you need to keep doing BFST® treatments in order to complete the healing process. Doing regular BFST® treatments for several months after the pain is gone is extremely beneficial. Do a BFST® treatment prior to any physical activity. This will act as a warm up for your circulatory system. You should also continue applying KB Support Tape to your knee to help prevent re-injury.
The King Brand® ColdCure® Wrap is an FDA Registered Class I medical device. This medical grade cold compression wrap is designed for home use. Cold and compression applied to an injured Meniscus immediately reduces the risk of further damage from excessive swelling. Doctors and Therapists agree that controlling swelling is a fundamental part of reducing long term permanent damage resulting from soft tissue injuries. The ColdCure® Wrap exceeds all government and health agency regulatory requirements for cold therapy specifically for use in treating soft tissue injuries.
ColdCure® RigiGel® packs are much safer and more effective than ice and products that use mushy blue gel. Why? Because RigiGel® packs are like ice, but they stay at 0°C. While they may start at about -20°C straight from the freezer, after a few minutes they will go to 0°C and stay at 0°C for a long time. This is the ideal temperature for cold therapy, because it's cold enough to relieve your pain and swelling, but safe enough to not cause cold burns. Ice and blue gel packs will also start out at -20°C and rapidly go to 0°C, but then their temperature will keep rising quickly, instead of staying in the safe, effective zone of 0°C. The XC Gel® danger zone is very small, but the benefits are huge.
While XC Gel® packs are designed to be stored in the freezer, you can store them in the fridge if you find them too cold from the freezer. If you find that the gel is too stiff from the freezer, leave it out for 1-2 minutes before inserting it inside the wrap. This will work to soften it quickly, while still retaining maximum cold capacity.
Most people think that RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression & Elevation - is the formula to follow when treating a soft tissue injury. The truth is that temperatures below freezing can be too cold to effectively relieve pain and swelling. And these temperatures can also be dangerous. Ice can actually freeze your skin and numb your nerves, causing 'cold burns' and even permanent damage to your underlying tissue. The proper solution is RCCE® - Rest, Cold, Compression & Elevation. We don't want to apply ice - we want to apply cold that is just above freezing. Yes, you want cold - and lots of it - but not so cold that it is below the freezing point of water.
XC Gel® packs contain 10x more gel per lb than other products, for maximum coverage of your Meniscus area. When stored in the freezer, our XC Gel® packs have 3x more cooling power per lb than standard gel packs. This means they stay cold longer for faster relief of your pain and swelling. It also means less time spent swapping the gel packs. More coverage plus more cooling power equals an overall colder, more effective treatment.
The ColdCure® Knee gel packs are specifically designed for the shape of the knee. Every part of the body is shaped differently, which is why every one of our gel packs is specially designed for a specific body part. They conform to your entire Meniscus area to ensure there is an even distribution of energy over your injury. We don't use one generic gel pack for all of our wraps. Every body part is uniquely shaped, which is why all of our gel packs are uniquely shaped too. This product has 100% been designed to treat Meniscus injuries.
Gel packs are notorious for having hot and cold spots. Our XC RigiGel® formula helps to distribute the cold energy evenly throughout the gel pack. When cold pressure is applied to a Meniscus injury, the gel starts to warm up in that specific spot faster than the rest of the pack. The cold energy in our gel packs is transferred from the cold spots to the warm spots much more effectively. This is a valuable improvement as your hot, swollen knee will receive the cooling power of the entire pack. The temperature-balancing power of this gel formula is unmatched.
The gel pack has 2 different colored sides: a white side and a gold side. Both sides will give you all the same benefits that our high performance XC RigiGel® has to offer! The gel pack can be inserted inside the wrap with the white side facing towards your knee or away from your knee since the gel pack is not side specific.
King Brand® soft tissue rehabilitation medical products are the #1 choice by top Athletic Therapists and Medical Practitioners worldwide. We provide guaranteed results and customer satisfaction. Like all King Brand® products, there simply isn't a better performing option. All King Brand® products come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Try our products and if you are not completely impressed, you can send them back for a full refund. We know you will love them though because thousands of people already use them and rave about the results.
King Brand® ColdCure® and BFST® Wraps are FDA Registered medical devices. They have also passed the Health Canada, ISO 13485, ISO 10993 and IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition approval processes. ISO 10993 is significant in terms of material safety. It means that our medical devices are made from materials that are safer than the materials used to make most baby products, including diapers, toys and clothes. These products are intended to prevent, treat and cure soft tissue injuries and chronic conditions. Part of being an FDA Registered company means that our products are made from high quality, biocompatible materials. These devices are manufactured and tested to the highest safety standards in the industry.

Congratulations, class of 2010! Very soon you will be college graduates, ready to embark on a new adventure, one with many twists and turns, ups and downs, and absolutely no end in sight. How exciting!
As you head out into the big, wide, uncaring world, the Office of Career Services would like to offer the following information to help you best decide what direction in which to take your life -- after all, out in the real world, good advice rarely comes free!*
Please carefully read over the following materials, and feel free to stop into the OCS during regular hours if you have any questions.**
* For those of you currently enjoying one of our generous financial aid or loan packages, you will soon discover that this advice was not, in fact, "free" either.
** Regular hours will not be resumed until the 2010-2011 academic year. Alumni are welcome to visit, but use of any and all OCS services is reserved to current undergraduates.
Career Options:
Many of you plan on entering the workforce upon graduation. If you haven't already lined up a job by now, consider the following appealing† options!
- One of the most important takeaways of your time as an undergraduate is the network you've built up here. Do you have any friends in industries that sound interesting?‡ Call them up and see if you can't wrangle an interview at their companies, even for a low-level position -- putting in your time at the bottom of the ladder is a sure way to rise! After the conversation, make sure to do the smart professional thing, and send a condolence card for your friend's recent job loss - you never know when these relationships will help you in the future, so leave a good taste in their mouths!
- Formed a valuable relationship with a professor or school administrator? Realistically speaking, the school's budget does not allow for new hiring at this time, so just cross your fingers that a "really nice recommendation" from him or her is going to be your "x-factor" at a future interview.§
- If neither of those turn up likely options, consider blackmail. It's amazing how many people will work a little harder to get their boss to interview you when they hear you plan on publishing photos of all the "experimentation" you did together during school to said boss's facebook wall! Like we've always said, only a fraction of your undergraduate education takes place in the classroom!
- What about the family business? It's almost like they have to give you a job there. No such family business available to you? It's amazing how faulty contraception, even when used "100% correctly," can be. If this does not lead to a new family connection of your own, we know a few families who would pay a lot for babies of a certain genetic profile...
- The world will always need ditch-diggers.⁺ Why not a few who can quote Proust extensively?
†Appeal, of course, is relative. In this context, it should be seen as being weighed against indefinite residence in your parents' basement.
‡ Despite sounding interesting, the OCS does not recommend petitioning friends in the following industries: journalism, finance, old media, new media, material goods, technology/information, and anything related to automobiles.
§The OCS does not want to give the impression that this will, in fact, be much help in an interview.
⁺As of press time, the world was not, to the university's knowledge, hiring for any "ditch digging" positions.
Another perennially popular choice upon graduation is taking some time off to travel the world! If this sounds appealing to you, consider applying for one of the University's post-graduate travel grants.⁑
Doing it on your own? Our alumni clubs are located all around the world. There, at a cost comparable to hotels in the area, you can stay in the company of other alums, in the sorts of accommodations you've become accustomed to during your undergraduate dormitory days!^
⁑Travel grants have been suspended at this time.
^Rates are subject to membership in local alumni club. In most major cities, this membership is no more than $1000 annually.
Continuing Education:
In today's competitive job market, degrees beyond your bachelor's are highly recommended, and, lucky for you, we can help you with your application to continue your education right here, in the place you've learned to call "home" over the last four years!º
While the university does not offer financial aid for our higher-degree programs, we can tell you that your Masters or Doctorate will certainly pay for itself -- after all, have you ever heard of an out-of-work graduate student?***
º Graduate-program tuition fees do not include a "home," as such.
*** The university is aware that the answer to this question is "yes."

Contrary to popular belief, it's perfectly possible to carry out an analysis of all but very large studies by using nothing more than a pencil and paper. Many people have produced good quality small- to medium-size quantitative research without having the benefit of a computer, but, my goodness, it's tedious. Increasingly these days, quantitative researchers take advantage of appropriate computer programs in order to analyse data and this is what Helen did. Her university provided Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software which she loaded on to her home computer and after a few false starts she found the selected programs fairly easy to use. There are now a good many software packages on the market and your university or organization should be able to offer advice about which type is appropriate for your purpose.
You need to be careful about using statistical packages, however, the main problem being that once you've learnt how, it is really very easy to key in data and even easier for the computer to produce yards and yards of printouts. Yards of printouts can seduce us into believing that they all mean something of importance for our research. That can lead us to include everything which emerges in the vain hope that the examiner will pick out what really is relevant and what isn't. We find it is unwise to

The term, fellowship, has no specific definition given to it within the New Testament, however, we are called into fellowship with one another (1 John 1:3), with Jesus (1 Cor. 1:9), with the Father (1 John 1:3), and with the Holy Spirit (2 Cor. 13:14). Fellowship implies sharing common interests, desires, and motivations. Fellowship requires that time be spent with another communicating, caring, etc. It carries with it a hint of intimacy. As Christians, we fellowship with one another because of our position in Christ and because we are all redeemed and share an intimate personal knowledge of Jesus. We share a common belief (Acts 2:42), hope (Heb. 11:39-40), and need (2 Cor. 8:1-15).
The Greek word for fellowship is koinonia. This word is also translated communion in 1 Cor. 10:16 in the KJV. This is where we get the term, the communion supper.

John Lamont was attacked in the Carnvale area, just off the Carniny Road, in the Co Antrim town at around 3am on Tuesday.
Mr Lamont is understood to have recently retired and is well known in the local community, having lived there for over 20 years.
His wife Liz Lamont, 59, also suffered stab wounds and is in a critical condition in Antrim Area hospital.
A 26-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder in connection with the incident.
He is currently in custody assisting police with their inquiries.
A neighbour, who had spoken with Mr Lamont on the evening he was attacked, described the family as "quiet and hard working".
"Kind neighbours, they were very kind, they would have been there for you if you needed them and needed any help," she said.
Another neighbour said the violent death was "shocking" to the those living in the area.
Robin Swann, UUP MLA for North Antrim, extended his sympathies to the Lamont family.
"These are both very serious incidents which will shock the local communities in which they have taken place," he said.

Posted on 06/21/2008 4:27:18 PM PDT by racing fan
Funny Car driver Scott Kalitta was killed today in a fiery crash during a drag race at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park, race officials said.
Kalitta, 46, was pronounced dead at Old Bridge Township Hospital after his car lost control during the fourth and final round of qualifying at the National Hot Rod Association Super Nationals, according to statement by the association.
(Excerpt) Read more at nj.com ...
Prayers going up for Scott and the Kalitta family.
RIP Scott.
from the link.
Over here ST...
I saw the wreck on ESPN. Very sad. RIP Scott.
My prayers go out to him and his family.
The car exploded going down track and continued until it crashed at the end of the track in a huge fireball.....
bummer his dad was one of my favorites back in the 60's
Very tragic.
Prayers for the family.
A sad day.
RIP, I haven't seen it yet, don't know if I want to.
Oh man! Prayers for his family.
oh no.... : (
RIP Scott
ESPN might show it again, but it is horrible to watch.
OMG ... so infrequent serious injuries in Drag Racing. Scott was one of the best. I was in Indy in 96??? when Blaine Johnson went over. It was a shock then to the drag race community. In fact I thin Bernstein turned his championship over to honor the Johnson brother. Alan was his crew Chief.
I love drag racing .... but when it goes bad ...it goes bad in a very big way. Prayers up for the kalita family.
We will miss you Scott
Conrad "Connie" Kalitta (born February 24, 1938 in Michigan) is the CEO of Kalitta Air and a retired American drag racing driver, once known as "The Bounty Hunter". He grew up in Mount Clemens, Michigan, and was a 1957 graduate of Mount Clemens High School. He raced from the 1950s through the 1990s. He was the first driver to hit 200 mph in an NHRA sanctioned event. He also helped Shirley Muldowney get started (in the "Bounty Huntress" car). Kalitta won 10 NHRA national events between 1967 and 1994. He was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 1992. On the 2001 National Hot Rod Association Top 50 Drivers, 1951-2000, Kalitta was ranked #21.[1] He was played by Beau Bridges in the Muldowney biography film Heart Like a Wheel. He is the father and uncle respectively, of racers Scott Kalitta and Doug Kalitta.
Gasoline is for cleaning parts
Alcohol is for drinking
Nitro is for racing!
Prayers for the Kalitta family.
When Connie was driveing he used to have the "Man, that is flying!" on the side of the dragster and support semi. Connie was one of the old school with Eddie/Ersie Hill, Kenny Bernstein and of course John foce in funny cars.
You often saw their aircraft out at DFW. They had a small fleet of planes and Semis.
Yep! Connie Kallita who owns Kallita Air,the 747 that broke up in Belgium last month. RIP Scott and to a Great Kallita Family.
Condolences to the Kallita family and organization.
Thanks to SouthTexas for linking me to this.
Crash video
That's how I fell about it myself. My First Wife just proposition me so we are off to the nearest Hunan Restaurant for dinner. Will post more T. Bender history latter...
Man o man. I actually caught part of the half hour show that preceded it today on ESPN2 (around 4:30pm, I think), 2007 Thrills and Chills. It featured a bunch of crashes just like this with some time set aside to demonstrate the safety advances, especially in the Funny Car class, with additional roll cage bracing and body protection.
By the looks of that crash, nothing would've made a difference. There's only so much you can do to prevent death when halting a car from 225+ in just a few feet, with what apparently was still fuel on board.
It looks like his engine blew, but the car kept tracking in a straight line.
Watched the tape twice and it looks to me like the drag chute never fully deployed.
RIP, bump
Very sad. Looks like the configuration of the track made the difference. There's just no room for error there. Had this happened at Sonoma, for instance, he probably would have survived, as he would have went into the sand pit, instead of a wall.
Was he driving a Toyota?
loved watching him run. Prayers to him, his family, and friends.
If you feel the need to see it, it is on YouTube.
It's pretty stunning to say the least. It's a very different experience from watching the Earnhardt crash, which I still can't watch, and haven't been able to watch since the day it happened.
All I can say is that the car simply exploded. It stayed in a straight line before, during and after the explosion. Just a huge fireball.
Yrah, I believe it was a Toyota.
I believe that's what the article said. And I thought, "Toyota funny car? No wonder it blew up."
It was claimed that debris from the car's body became wrapped up in the chute so it couldn't deploy as needed.
Someone on the ESPN page this said that he met Kalitta there years ago and this was his favorite track.
When it comes to Funny Cars, the body is (rather loosely) based on a certain manufacturer's body style, but other than sponsorship money, that's about it for factory involvement. Yes, the car was a Toyota. But I doubt that anything inside that car was actually made by Toyota.
Very sad.
Prayers to him and his family.
Personally, I think Funny Cars should be banned.
They really aren't cars, they are a fiberglass body over a chassis. More than once, they have contained the fire and killed the driver.
I used to wrench on a 6 second ride that was a full frame off camero. A few years after I moved on, our boss ate fire when the fuel pump puked gallons of fuel on the hood at the line. He wouldn't have lived had he been in a funny car. Even with his firesuit, he damn near didn't make it.
Scott will probably be the the Dale Sr. of NHRA in as such as future safety requirements, first off I can see that there should have been something, anything better than what looked like a solid barrier at the end of that strip.
I doubt SAFR would help, maybe something that stops aircraft like nets or a road surface that sinks the vehicle in air pockets (Mythbusters).
Jimmy Clark, Jochen Rindt, Graham Hill, Darrel Russell, Eric Medlin....if you watch racing you're going to see some of the sportsmen pay the ultimate price.
Did you ever see the news from the 1964 Indy 500? Two drivers killed and Parnelli Jones bailing from a burning car in the pits as he directed it to a wall....an accident plagued race if there ever was one.
Indy 500 Crash in 1964 After this crash, gasoline was no longer used at the speedway.
The drag chute got tied up, it was probably burned to some extent by the fire. If the chute is nylon, fire will cause it to melt together before it deploys. From what I read on the Simpson Equipment web site, the chute may be made of canvas.
Whatever it is, it burns. They need to get the chute away from a burning car; IMHO it would have saved Scott's life here. Possibly an emergency system that is activated along with the fire extinguishers.
Scott hit the sand hard. There was no aerodymic braking..he was probably busy hitting the extinguishers.
Why would they build a wall at the end of the track?
Why not a sand trap?
ESPN interviews with other drivers brought up something I didn't even think about. In the early days, the slow down areas and safety overruns were designed for cars with problems like a stuck accelerator and no chute. Only the speeds weren't as fast as they are today. Few strips have kept up with the new higher speeds, many have the same set up as when they were first built. The drivers were accusing the owners of negligence.
